Mayor Jim Dahlman.

Mayor Jim Dahlman, of Omaha,
has got an idea that he has picked
out a good running mate for William
j. Bryan on the democratic ticket.
He has looked the field over
thoroughly and has come to the con
cluSion that Governor johnson, OF
Minnesota, will till the till exactly
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Minnesota governor has been
groomed to Il certain extent as q
presidential candidate and he may
Tot consent to play second fiddle to
Mr.. Bryan. The Omaha mayor is
of the opinion that Bryan win
certainly be the nominee OF the
party, and that eventually Henry
WattersoD, of tine Louisville Courier
Journal, will come to the support of
the old time free silver candidate.
He is further OF the opinion that
Hearst will not cut any ice in the
presidential campaign.

The best special train service that
the Milwaukee company has ever
given the corn palace at Mitchell is
that which has just been given to
the public through The Republican.
1t Is not any particular concession
to the city, however, but simply a
wise business nov on the part Of
the company. The ten different
years that the palace has been held
IN Mitchell has simply demonstrated
to the Milwaukee COMPANY that

Sioux City Fair Next Week.

The fair this year will be held
7th-14th. Those who have
never attended the Interstate Fair
should by all ear attend this year.
Those who have been fortunate
enough to be present at the great an
nual live stock shows at that point
should not fail to go this year to
see the tremendous progress that has
been made in the territory surround
ing Sioux City during the last year,
as it will be shown at the fair. 1t is
confidently expected that the volume
of fine cattle, horses, sheep and
swine will far surpass anything that
has ever been seen at that hustling

Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Markham spent
a pleasant ten days down at Prairie
!du Chen, Wis, and have returned
home. Mr.. Markham said that in
eastern Iowa the corn crop is away
behind this section of the state, due
to the fact, he thought, because of
there being so much rain. He said
the corn in many places only stood
about three feet high and that the
leaves and stalks were already turn
ing yellow, with the corn poorly de-
veloped. In western Iowa, Mr.. Mark
ham said that the corn compared
very favorably with that in South Da-
kota.

This week, on page 7, M. Quad gives

Is a referendum Practicable?

newark ADVERTISER.
Three referendum bills, introduced
in the Assembly by Mr.. Tumulty, of
Hudson, propose a radical departure
from the present system oflawmaking.
The first bill provides that when 10 per
cent. of the electors ofthe State shall Pc
tition for la or constitutional amend
ment, the petition shall be submitted
to the Legislature. If not favorably
acted upon, the petition is to be sub
mitted to an advisory vote of the
people and again submitted to the
Legislature. The second bill provides
that no ordinance or resolution of a
municipal body shall take effect with
in thirty days; in the meantime 5 per
cent. of the voters may by petition pro-
cure a vote of the people of the NUM-
cipality upon it. In the third bill Mr..
Tumulty proposes that 5 per cent. ofthe
voters of the State may petition for a
referendum vote upon any measure
passed by the Legislature, except such
measures as are for the public peace
and safety, but the result of the vote
is to be regarded only as an expression
OF public opinion"
The trouble with a referendum sys-
tenn is that the people won't come out
and vote in a special election on any
certain question. In special elections
on constitutional amendments only a
fraction of the vote is polled. In the
last special election in 1908 the total
vote polled was 1915, with 1884 re-
jected ballots. In the State election in
the following year the total vote was
432, 547. Only about 10 per cent. of
that vote was cast in the preceding
election, and yet the question at issue
was of the highest Importance to the
people, for it related to changes in the
organic law of the State.
These special elections on constitu-
tional amendments are held only once
every five years. What better ''expres-
sion of public opinion could be OBJ
tanned if the voters were called upon to
go to the polls several times in a single
year? How many would go, and what
would the results be worth? 1t would
be admirable in a State if all the people
took an interest in public questions of
every kind, studied them, discussed
them in public and private places and
understood them, and if these voters
should he willing and ready IN vote
upon petitions and for and against
public measures, at all times. But
experience does not encourage the
belief that the New Jersey electorate
a be educated up to that ideal con-
dition. The probability is that Mr..
Tumulty's system would be regarded
as a nuisance. However, the expert
ment might be tried.

Advertising is Like Growing Corn

A veteran newspaper man, who
knows human nature well, says:
People have two great reasons
for not advertising. One is that
they have plenty of business now,
and can't take any more orders.
The other is that business is dull
now and they cant afford to
advertise"
From this we draw the ques-
tons: Is it good policy to adver-
tise when business is dull? Does
it pay?
Advertising is like growing corn,
it can't be done well day by day.
The man who plants corn doesn't
expect to harvest it the next day.
He looks ahead. There is a time
for ploughing, for fertilizing, for
planting and for cultivating before
the harvest time comes He plants
by the year-at least those who
grow the best crops do.
Business plans also should be
made by the year, and now is the
time to make them.
Advertising is like fertilizers
you may get some kind of a crop
without any, but in general the
business crops of people who use
advertising are much heavier and
more regular than those of people
who don't.
Are you going 10 use fertilizer
on this years crops or not? That
is the question.
Some say that it costs too
much.
But doesn't it cost more to do
without it?
Some say they Will Go II a iittle
at a time, as the business seems to
need it.
Some say they will decide later
that there's nothing doing just
now" anyhow. 5t1 y dslw
Isn't it better to decide now,
and do something later, at the
time planned? :, sEa,o,1s
Of course these questions can
be put off and nothing decided.
