Germ Laden Buttercups.

Nature sprinkles the green fields
with the little golden buttercup bios
SONS solely, it would seem, for the
pleasure of the children. They are
free and wholly exempt from the
warnings in force in yards and gar
dens, Don't pick the flowers" Alas
that the jealous man of science should
proclaim that the buttercup is laden
with fever germs and that children
should be prohibited by law from
plucking it!
1t is said that in some foreign coun-
tries buttercups are prohibited by law
from growing. which is really the SEN
sible way to put the flower out Of
business if it's business Is really unde-
sirable So long as it is allowed to
grow and to wave it's dainty flower in
the fields the children will get at 1t
and hold it under the chin in the
favorite game of do you love but
teri" The legend behind the butter
cup is as popular as that Of Santa
Claus, and most children VIII risk the
fever any time to test its truth on
themselves or comrade.

Who's Who In Wooing.

George Bernard Shaw and an IN
willing. man in Chicago court are try
ing to convince us that leap year is I'M
necessary, or at least that all years are
leap years, for the maid, and not the
man, does the wooing. In the Chicago
court it was not shown that the maid
did more than is called for by prece-
dent. She attracted the man, she lent
herself willingly and perhaps know
ingly to Cupid's advance agent, pro-
pinuuity, and the man talked of mat
rimony and an establishment, then
backed out, pleading that the plaintiff
had done all the woOing.
There are some Adams left, but In
his play Mr.. Shaw kindly spares the
audience the spectacle Of a gutter.
The heroine "sets her cap" for GER
tain man and boldly lures him and
even bluffs him into proposing. 1t
must be that the Chicago man and Mr..
Shaw are spiteful. A maid cannot
help being attractive and cannot if she
would avoid making a normal man
think matrimonial thoughts. But the
idea that her gifts merely serve to
make byplay for a conscious design is
monstrous to spring, even in leap year.
Man is always looking for a cue and
seldom is base enough to deny it.

A Business View of the Situation.

Henry Clews, the New York
banker thus sizes up the situation:
Nov that the Chicago conven-
ton is over, and that Mr.. Taft has
secured the nomination. the politi-
cal outlook has been much clarified.
Unless unforeseeG events interfere,
Mr. Taft will be OUR neXT President,
His high character, ability and long
experience in public affairs afford
promise of satisfactory and sue
eessful administration. The Roose-
Welt policies Will be continued, but
in a more deliberate and less disturb
ing fashion. As these policies are al
ready we'll understood and have
been fully discounted, the stock
market ought to be comparatively
free from political Influences for
some time to- come The Denver
convention rs, of course, still IN
prospect and is likely to bring to
the surface discussion and move
npent of radical nature As q
voice of protest and warning the
Denver platform may be of sOaae
value, bat fortunately the An2eFi-
can people are not yet prepared te
follow the extreme aud dangerous
radicalism which is likely to develop
st Denver.

THE JEWEL. CONSISTENCY.

An interesting dispatch of yes
terday from Lincoln, Neb., state.
that the Denver platform will de-
clare for railway regulation, and
that friends of Mr.. Bryan say that
no government ownership plank
will be inserted.
Then the Denver platform will
declare for what the Denver candi-
date has publicly said he had little
faith in, and will not indorse what
the Denver candidate publicly
called the ultimate solution"
Not that this is surprising. Unless
a majority of the delegates to
Denver become suddenly demented,
the convention will not indorse Mr..
Bryan's two peculiar and distinctive
proprietary nostrums; free silver
and government ownership.
But since both parties are for the
policy OF government regulation of
railways, and since that policy is
embodied in the national statutes
and most have a fair trial, what
travesty it would be to elect for
chief executive the man who says
he has no faith in Milwaukee
Sentinel.

THE ANTI-INJUNcTIoN PLANK,

The ANTI-INJUNCTIONP PLANK.
"A concerted and persistent effort
zs being made, and will continue tc
be made throughout the campaign
10y the radical press and orators, to
lmisrepresent the candidates and the
platform of the Chicago convention.
This is no more than was to be
expected. Naturally the Demo
cratic leaders who urged the Re-
publican convention to declare in
favor of certain unrepublican doc
.trines, and those of the allied oppc-
@sition to Judge Taft who fought to
put the convention into a position
AOf entrapping the administration
were not entirely pleased with the
result of its deliberations.
One feature of the platform
which is assailed is the anti-ipjunc
7fion plank which Mr.. Taft and the
president insisted upon as broader
protection to labor, but which was
somewhat modified by the conven-
ton from the original draft asked
for by the candidate.
MI, Bryan snd his adherents in
sist that it is not nearly radical
enough aud Samuel Gompers, the
labor leader, also feels agrieved
because he was not permitted to
dictate the wording of this plank.
The unprecedented mind will find
IN the language of the platform
however an attitude fair both to
organized labor and the interests
against which it contends. Here is
the exact wording of the plank as
adopted:
The Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integ-
rity of the courts, state and national,
and will ever insist that their powers
to enforce their processes and to pro-
Gect life liberty and property, shall be
preserved inviolate. We believe, how
ever, that the rule of procedure in the
federal courts with respect to the
Issuance of the writ of Injunction
should be more accurately defined by
statute, and that no Injunction or
restraining order should be issued
without notice. except when irrepar-
able injury would result from delay
in which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted.
This is the injunction plank or
which the party will make it's
appeal to the people. The party
backs up the courts in the exercise
of every power which they possess
under the present laws and practices
and that is ali any Republican has
ever asked. The practice of the
federal courts in labor disputes is tt
issue no temporary injunction ex
cept where threatened injury from
delay would not only be irrepar
able but where il would appear tt
oe imminent.
The power of Injunction simply
means the right to protect life ani
property against the unrighteou
boycott and detestable picket system
during labor strikes. 1t is a power
intended for emergencies, ant
emergencies require quick action
The injunction is, rightly consider
ed, therefore, a protection to every
honest man, and a right which
every employer of organized labor
should possess.

Several months ago 500 ZOO worth of bonds
Of the Independent Telephone company OF
Omaha we're stolen from L.. s. Grant, jr,
by parties In Los Angeles. Ever since that
time MIR. Grant has endeavored to locate
the bonds. but as soon as he would get on
track OF them they would be spirited away.
For some time past these bonds have
been offered in Omaha at ri6iculously low
prices, ranging from IS 20 IS cents on the
dollar. These low prices were made be-
cause stolen property nay be sold at any
price and still show a nice profit.
This week SIS, 900 OF these BONDS appeared
in Kansas City and Omaha. parties made
an offer for them. not knowing that the
title was not good. The Kansas City peo-
pie were instructed to ship the bonds to
Omaha in care Of the First National bank.
This was done, but .ior to their arrival
suspicion had been aroused to such an eX-
tent that a telegram was sent to Mr.. Gran.
and he in turn notified his attorney to re-
plevin them IL they turned out to b. his.
When the bonds arrived at the bank the
sheriff at once levied on them and took
them into his possession. The bonds are.
now in safe keeping and will be held until
the termination Of the suit.
The First National bank has not been
sued for any damages. as was stated In the
papers, and had no knowledge that the
bonds were even shipped to them until they
arrived. They have acted only in the best
of faith throughout the whole transaction.
OF the $4,000 that was stolen there is
$4,000 still u-naccounted for and we wish
to advise the public to use great care in
purchasing our bonds from unknown par
ties, unless they can show an absolutely
clear title, as Mr.. Grant viii replevin his
wherever found.
