Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-08-02
Presidential Material.

The next national election
promises to be so exciting-with
interests of such moment at
stake-that the people as well
as the politicians are talking
pretty earnestly about candi-
dates, even at this early day.
The question of the republican
candidate is becoming important
on account of the booming of Mr..
Bryan by the democrats, but it
is already manifest that men of
presidential capacity are far more
numerous among the republicans.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Roose-
velt's evident unwillingness to be
considered, and the departure
from the precedent of electing an
occupant of the White House
for more than eight years, his
name is on the lips of the people
and it is doubtful if any strong
public sentiment would be ar
rayed against his continued
leadership for another four years
after the expiration of the pre-
sent term. Given a general de-
mand on the part of the people
without regard to party affilia-
tions and threat to elect the
democratic nominee unless Mr..
Roosevelt was put in nomination
and it is difficult to see how he
could assume the responsibility
of a refusal. This is likely to
happen unless a man who ably
represents the policy of the
administration, and is almost
equally trusted by the plain peo-
pie, appears early and prominent
ly.
1t is in view of this situation
that the president is doing all he
can properly to bring Secretary
Taft into the kind of prominence
that may make him the logica,
candidate. Mr.. Taft will be in
the white light of public criti'
cism for the next two years. His
past career gives promise of his
ability to sustain difficult posi-
tion. 1t is understood that he i:
with the president heartily il
aims and methods, and that his
administration would be con
tinuance of his predecessor, no
in slavish imitation, but in such
application of the same princi
pies as new developments of con
ditions might demand.
Should Secretary Taft be founc
deficient in any one of the com
bination of the qualities so es
sential to a successful candidate
Secretary Roots name would b.
prominent for similar reasons
At present he seems a man o
less popular qualities than thos
of Mr.. Taft and his career ant
associations commend him less
On the other hand, the quie
strength of Mr.. Root and hi
loyalty to the president in hi
hard fight for equal rights to al
people of every class, are caus
ing Mr.. Root to grow in popula
esteem, as he seems to be grow
ing steadily in popular esteem, a

The father of twenty-five chill
dren in New York city says he is
tired of trying to support them.
1t would seem as if the mother of
the last ten should also be heard
from; his first wife, the mother
of fifteen, is dead and therefore
should be at rest.

1t is now claimed that the
alligators will soon follow in the
footsteps of the buffalo, and be
extinct, because of the CONNER
cial demands for their hides.
This will remove one of the
sights of the south, but will
make the great swamps so that
other commercial projects will
soon develop.

The reception Bryan planned
for himself on his return to this
country is to be a great one, but
the leaders of the party will be
plotting to prevent his nominal
ton at the same time that he is
being received with so great APP
plause. Roosevelt seems to be
destined to succeed himself-if
he will again accept the position.

If President Stickney, of the
Chicago Great Western, should
accept post on the interstate
commerce commission, there
certainly would be something
doing as far as that body was
concerned. He has radical ideas
as to what should be done with
railroad corporations.

Opinion generally comedies that the
great debate now in progress in the
United States Senate on the railroad
rate question has seldom, If ever, been
equaled in briIIiancy and ability in any
parliamentary body of the world. This
being so, 1t is interesting to note that
the speeches scheduled for the present
week will probably mark the culmina-
ton of the debate. and make the next
six days noteworthy in the history of
the recent Congresses.
Tomorrow Is especially looked for
ward TO as great day. Senator Bailey,
the Democratic leader, conceded 10 be
one OF the best constitutional lawyers
in public life, as we'll as one OF the
most able orators. will speak More
than usual interest is manifested in
this event, because he has announced
his purpose TO reply specifically to the
arguments advanced by Senators Knox
and Spooner. who are recognized as the
leading lawyers on the Republican side,
in their opposition to Mr.. Bailey's pro-
position that courts may be prohibited
from issuing temporary injunctions sus-
pending orders of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

HEBREWS CELEBRATE
! PASSOVER FEAST
Will Begin at Shutdown
This Evening.
SERVICES IN SYNAGOGUES
Household Services Conducted by Heads
Of Families Throughout
the City.
SERVICES IN SYNAGoGUES

With sundown this evening will begin
the Hebrew feast OF Passover. This is
in commemoration OF the deIiverance OF
the children of Israel from the wilder
ness after their exodus from the thrall-
dom in Egypt
''Pesach," as is Its Semitic term, is
generally begun with services in the
household. This function is observed
pretty thoroughly by the Radical and
Orthodox members OF the fifth alike.
The observance. known as the ''Sedar"
takes place Immediately after dark. IL
is generally conducted by the head OF
the family wherever there is one. and
in the event of his absence il is taken
up by the male descendent next in line.
Emblematic viands.
The table is covered with many viands
emblematic of the occasion and suffer-
ing which the Children of Israel were
forced to endure. Principal among
these is the bitter herb showing TO
what extent Their sufferings went. The
unleavened bread upon the table DEM
onstraJes the fact that during the seven
OF eight days of the holiday nothing Of
a leavened character must be partaken
OF in the nature Of food. The services,
read from the Hagada. tell of all that
the Mosaic clans endured until once
more restored to their native land and
home conditions. This is characterized
as the Sedar by the sweet apple which
Is handed around and praycrfully par
taken OF.
Services in All Synagogues.
The Reformed Hebrews observe seven
days IN the celebration of the feast, and
the Orthodox community continues its
celebration for another day.
Services Will be held in all the syna-
goGueS tomorrow morning. but there
viii be no other services until the re-
spective concluding days of the feast.
