A NEW STAR.

Within the past week new star has
been added to the galaxy of great
commoners in America. The name of
that star is LAFollette, and in recent
days it has been shining with . bril-
liancy and effdlgence to please every
American citizen who is looking for .
square deal in the halls of congress.
1t Is true that LaF0llette did not sue
coed in defeating the bill of the Stand
ard Oil senator from Rhode Island to

THE DEMOCRATIC WAY.

THE DEMOCRATIC WAY.
Of course some of the Bryanites
profess to be highly pleased over the
nomination of Taft; not that they de-
sire to see Taft elected, but for the
reason that, in their opinion. he is the
weakest man that could be nominated.
Had any one of the other candidates
received the nomination they would
have said the same thing. 1t has
always been the practice Of the Dem
ocratic party to belittle the strength,
popularity and ability of Republican
presidential candidates. When Ere
mont was nominated the Democratic
party alluded to his frontier manners
and considered his nomination Is q
Joke. Four years later, when Abra'
ham Lincoln headed the national
ticket, the old bourbon Democrats Of
the North called him an ignorant rail
splitter, a buffoon and an abolitionist,
and the fire eaters of the South spoke
Of him as an ape and the missing link
Grant was denounced Is q drunkard.
Every Republican candidate has run
the gauntlet of Democratic abuse and
misrepresentation, and the only Demo
crat elected President since james
Buchannon has not been free from
abuse heaped upon him by men claim
ing to be Democrats. The present
generation knows how Grover Cleve'
land, even in private life, has been
denounced for not endorsing every ism
advocated by William Jennings Bryan
and his followers. Taft will not
escape. He will be placed before the
country in a false light. He will be
alluded to as the candidate Of Wall
street, the arrogant rich and the trust
combinations. The Democratic party
never fights fair. Its leaders have
never sought to appeal to the reason
of the voters, but attempted to win by
appealing to the passions and preju'
dices of the people, and in every con-
test for the past fifty years have never
been successful but twice.

FEDERAL AID.

The Journal desires to call the
attention of the members of the Good
Roads club. and all farmers who live
on rural routes to an appropriation
made at the last session of congress for
improving public highways. Through
Ike efforts of Senator Bankhead of
Alabama, an appropriation of $780,
600 was made to assist in improving
roads travelled by rural carriers. The
terms of this appropriation impose the
necessity of selfhelp on the commu-
nifty that is to profit by it. The state
or county, or both, in which the road
lies that is to be improved must fur
nish an amount of money equal to that
donated by the government. If Platte
county appropriated $1,000 to i'm
prove roads Travelled by rural carriers,
the government would donate a like
amount. The scheme is what is known
as Federal aid for good roads. Al
though the appropriation is small, and
will not go very far when distributed
over . country as vast as the United
States, yet it is the beginning of q
system of work which will result in
awakening interest in the good roads
problem. Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson has long been an advocate Of
Federal aid for good roads, and it was
through his influence, assisted by the
efforts of Senator Bankhead, that the
first appropriation was made to en-.
courage the improvement of country
highways.

And now the reports will commence
to come in from Democratic sources
throughout the state that great dis
satisfaction exists over the nomination
of Taft" and that 'blank county
will give Bryan a majority this year."
This is an old Democratic trick which
has been given publicity in every
presidential campaign.

Human Affection.

What is the best thing in life?
I queried recently have raised the
same question aforetime. and found
the majority of responses leaned to
human affection" Surely there Is
nothing that comes to us by the grace
Of God so helpful as the friend" who
may be a husband, a wife. q sister or
a brother, who knows the best Of US
and the worst Of US. and who can
love US still, ready to stand by Us
till the morning when our craft is
grounded in the shadows or Is help
lessly stationary in maelstrOm vortex.
when we need all the strength our
God can give, simply to live. my
friend. simply to live. How rare
friends are one soon realizes. and how
priceless no words can duly say

SURELY WELL DONE
cRIPPLE'S SPLENDID USE OF HIS
ONE TALENT.
From Bed Of Suffering Message Of
Light and Hope Went Forth 70
Cheer the Weak and
Unfortunate.

BY the time this article is printed
the man whose story it relates may
have gone to his reward. Already he
has added q few more painful months
to those that had gone before. That
he can live another year. or even hall
that time. seems now all but impOssi
BILE; and almost any morning may
witness for him the daybreak of the
life of which it is written that there
shall be no more pain.
When the terrible accident was over
and they uncovered his mangled body
so little was left In it that they
thought him dead. And when the sur.
geOns had finished their work there
remained but the physical wreck Of q
man.
Both legs were gone; the left arm
was missing. and had taken with it
the greater part of the collar bone OF
the right hand only a finger and the
thumb remained. There was only
enough left of the man that had been
to suffer and remember.
But he still possessed q brilliant
mind stored with the rich fruitage of a
college training and enriched by
travel in every part of the world! And
it was all wasted. wasted. wasted!
There was nothing he could do but
to remain helpless sufferer.
So he thought as he sat by the win
dow In the Home for Incurables. and
looked out on a world of which he
had ceased to be a part. Before him
lay his Bible and he read the parable
of the talents, and reflected bitterly
that he had now not one talent to
bury: he himself was as good as
buried. and his talents, which had
been many, were buried already
An old lady wheeled her chair be-
side his. and read a letter which had
been sent her. 1t was from a stran-
ger, but it did her good.
He was interested, and asked her
about 1t. and learned that there was
a kind of organization that furnished
addresses of invalids and shut-in folks
to persons who were willing to write
them cheerful letters. She had sent
her name as one who would be glad of
an occasional letter, and this unknown
correspondent wrote her regularly.
and the letters comfOrted her.
A sudden thought came to him. To
receive letters would be little com
fort to him. but why should he not
write them? But to whom? Could
there be any persons so shut in as he
who could be cheered by his letters?
Possibly the men in prison were a
trife more to be pitied; yet even
they had hope of release, and he had
none But 1t was worth trying.
So he wrote to the secretary of
the organization for the names of
some of the prisoners. He was In
formed that his letters could not be
answered: the rules of the prison
would not permit But he undertook
the one-sided correspondence.
Twice a week he wrote. and the let
ters taxed his strength to its limit

TAFT AND SHERMAN.


When the Journal went to press
last week the Republicans were hold
ing their national convention in
Chicago. 1t was conceded that Will
liam Howard Taft would be the nom-
inee, and on Thursday he was nom-
mated on the first ballot. Congress
man Sherman of New York, was NOM
mated for Vice President.
If there were factions in the Re-
publican party before the convention
assembled, they have disappeared.
Cannon, LaFollette, Hughes, Knox
and Fairbanks have all pledged their
support to the ticket, and the party
enters the campaign with all who
claim allegiance to its principles,
shoulder to shoulder, to battle for Sue
cess at the polls. Those who had pre-
dected that Senator LaFollette would
bolt the nominee were mistaken in the
Wisconsin Senator. He was one of
the first to wire congratulations to
Candidate Taft, pledging him loyal
support.
That the Republican nominee will
be successful is believed by the party
managers, and all who desire to see
the policies of President Roosevelt
continued. The country is not ready
to turn back the dial of prosperity to
the black midnight of uncertainty, and
vote into power q party of experiment.
alists.
When the count shall have been
completed on the night Of election,
Nebraska will be found in line with
the party represented by Taft and
Sherman.

Now that he has the whiskers on
his monument brushed straight. his
tomb well stocked with whisky and
cigars and proper inscription craven
on the granite. Phineas Gardner
Wright, Putnam's richest and oldest
bachelor, says he can contemplate
the end with calmness and satisfac-
ton.
Mr.. Wright 10 70 years old. and
worth something over $500. 900, accord
ing to a Waterbury Conn dispatch.
This sum, he says. he has accumulated
by strict attention to details, not try
ing to know too much and consistent

out the program which has made him
successful, Mr.. Wright has superin-
tended the erection of his own mon.
ument, and he has inscribed thereon:
Going, but know not where" Under
this the more definite information:
Never beat by man, but by woman"
The Wright monument is the show
place of the Putnam cemetery. 1t is a
solid granite block bearing on its top
q bust Of the man who is to lie under
it. The bust is . faithful likeness,
even to the stone whiskers now
trimmed in goatee fashion. The
sculptor who did the work was an IT.
responsible person with e6cminate
ideas. He parted Mr.. Wright's whis-
kers at the middle in his original
work. This made Mr.. Wright angry,
and he paid another sculptor $500
to brush out the stone whiskers
straight. This work brought the
total price up to $500. but Mr..
Wright didn't care.
In the tomb near by Mr.. Wright has
placed ample supplies of whisky and
cigars.

also engaged the Putnam Silver Cor.
