Geo. P. Rowell, who has had more
experience with newspapers and realizes
their value more than perhaps any score
Of men in the country, in recent inter.
view with the Denver Post makes some
Acknowledgements extremely gratifying
to the publishers of evening journals
To-day" said Mr.. Rowell, "the even
ing paper is the paper, because the even
ing paper publishes today's news today,
whereas the morning paper publishes
yesterdays news today" His argu-
ment is therefore that the evening
paper is the best advertising medium.
Ordinarily there is more time for a
reader to peruse the evening paper than
in the morning when household or
business duties must occupy the atten'
tien of readers. Mr.. Rowell is Of the
further opinion that "the poorest head
of family can afford l5.cent per
week: daily newspaper. Not only is
the head of family interested in {
newspaper, but his wife, his son and hi
daughter share his interest and like I,
keep informed on the days doings, 81

not be as large as could be desired, tn

There is more catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease, and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. j. Cheney g. Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to tea-
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it falls to cure. Send for circulars

There are certain points at which
partisanship ceases and anarchy begins
There are criticisms which are sustained
by the ethics Of political warfare and
there are criticisms and denunciations
which border closely on rebellion and
treason. An attack on party policies
by an opposing party often produces
good results. A deserved denunoiation
of party candidate and his policies il
along the line of party duty to the state
and operates to prevent corruption.
But tiendish attack upon the country,
the army or tho flag, or any of those
things which patriotism teaches people
to revere and respect, is not to be con-
doned merely because certain party is
in control, and such tactics should be
frowned down by all people regardless
of party politics. The denunciations in
some of the party papers are vicious in
large degree. 1t is not the kind Of
reading patriotic father should desire
for his son. 1t Is not argument-it is
not even amusing. 1t has nothing to
recommend it and everything to con-
denim it, 1t is an abuse of the privilege
of free speech and it is hoped that there
are few partisans OH either side Of n
question who will sanction it. As long
as majorities rule in this country their
power should be respected to certain
degree and the frowning down Of vi
cious attacks on the country or the flag,
because of this fact should be applauded.
II cause cannot win without this
vituperation it does not deserve sue

A year ago the city of Kearney voted
that no licenses should be granted to
saloon men, and the result has been
that during the past year the city has
been without licensed liquor shops, but
there have at all times been plenty Of
places where anything wanted in the
liquid line could be secured While the
school fund has been deprived Of the
money which comes from licenses it is
claimed that there has actually been
more liquor sold and more drunkenness
on the streets than under the old license
system. This condition has led to prose
cutions without end, which have in
every case failed Of conviction. This
year the people Of that city propose tt
vote to issue licenses again and keep the
traffic where it can be held under con
troll.

THE ship subsidy steal will pass con-

it had been agreed to with the best
featurss-the subsidy steal-retained,
and would be satisfactory to his party.
1t also protects the trusts, as the ship
owners are not permitted to form trust
to raise freight rates Oh trust exports,
Under the bill some ships will be paid q
subsidy OF $50 900 yearly by the govern.
ment. That ought to be sufficient com
pensation for being deprived OF the priv
ilese OF forming trust to raise the rates
on the other trusts. Our infant shipping
needs protection as well as our infant

to stand by its we'll known principles OF
protection to infants.

SENATOR SHouP's position toward BIZ
metallisn is more clearly explained by
his own language in discussing the ihan.
eial bill, which received his support,
than any explanation can make il. He
said that believing that this measure
does not in any way endanger the cause
Of bimetAllism. but rather aids its alli-
mate accomplishment, and that when
the recognition Of silver comes it will he
through the efforts OF the Republican
party, l shall vote for the COMMITTEES
amendment and the BILL" He believes
that by voting to make gold the single
unit OF value by which all other money
is to be measured, and that by turning
the paper money circulation over to the
banks, he is aiding the cause OF bimetall-
ism. II it were not for the fact that his
utterances contain much that is sublime
and little more that is ridiculous, we
might be led to believe he meant it.
The evidence is multiplying that our
senior senator ought to be retired.
