The Road Question.

Mr.. j. d. Babbage:
Dear Sir:-In reading your paper for
the last six months l have failed to
notice any thing said about the roads.
You claim to treat all with justice; and
you always had a great deal to say
when the roads were bad Please tell
us why you are so mum now, for the
roads are worse now than they have
been for twelve years. In fact, they are
almost impossible, but we do not
blame Charley Boiler for it. He is a
good road man. We do blame you for
cencuring every other supervisor and
laying all the bad roads to inefficient
supervision when the roads that were
worked most last year are now the
worst roads we have. John, (if you
will get a double rig, FOR one horse
could not pull you,) and drive out 3
miles from town on any public road and
then write the truth about the road
question, the rig shall not cost you
nothing. Now ii you do not make the
trip let us hear what you have got to
say about the condition of the roads.
Respectfully,
Ex-Supervisor, Geo. N. Harris.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.


Two young men applied for the same
position. One was called into the pri-
vate Office while the other was asked
to wait; as he shut the door after him
the employer noticed that it didn't
close tight, but blew open again as
soon as the mans hand was off the
knob. This man didn't get the job.
When it came time for the second
candidate to be interviewed, the old
man noticed that he closed the door
noiselessly. The door stuck. He didn't
bang it shut as so many people would
be apt to do. Instead he opened il
slightly, lifted the knob a bit and
closed the door tight. And all this in
a seconds time, for he was seated by
the side of the: desk, in an instant
ready to talk business. Thateman go1
the job.
The next day the employer told me
that he sized up those two men solely
on the way they closed the door.
eff that boy is as thorough in every
thing as he was in closing that door
I want him in my employ" he said

THE NEBRASKA PLATFORM

The declaration OF principles made
by the democrats of Nebraska in con-
vention assembled at Omaha last Fri
day is important as indicating the
probable character of the national
platform to be adopted at Denver
should Bryan be the nominee.
The platform urges, as the over
shadowing issue, the necessity OF an
awakening to the need of freeing the
government from the grip of those who
have sought special privileges.
To this end it advocates a distinc-
ton between the individual and the
corporation and the vigorous enforce
ment Of criminal laws against trusts
and trust magnates. It also advo.

Official Paper of New Ulm.

By a vote of 68 to % the democratic
state central committee in ST. Paul on
Friday adopted the following resolu-
lutions:
"Gov. John A. Johnson has twice
brought victory to the democracy of
Minnesota. During his cumbency
more reforms have been adopted than
during any equal period of time in the
history Of our state. He has been
controlled only by public interests.
His alert mentality, restless energy
and sound Judgment, united with his
unimpeachable integrity, make him the
embodiment of the "best spirit of the
West, an ideal American citizen.
"Confdently believing that his
nomination as the candidate Of the
party for the presidency will bring to
our support the electoral votes of all
the states within the Mississippi val
Gey, and thus secure a national tri-
lmph, we respectfully present to the
democracy Of the nation the name of
Hon. John A. johnson as candidate
. Cor president of the United States, and
recommend to the democrats of Mime
sofa that they cause his name to be
presented to the national convention
at. Denver for nomination.
The Bryan enthusiasts On the COM
egaiGree objected strongly to thus enter
eEsg Johnson in the presidential race
with the advantage of a committee en-
dorsement, but their protests, coming
as they did mostly from men who have
been convention trouble-breeders in
the past, went without avail. The
johnson men saw in their objections
"a well-laid scheme to discredit the
governor abroad, and they simply
wouldn't stand for it. They listened
patiently to the outbursts of ora
gory, but when it came to vote they
told Hudson and Manahan where to

After the meeting the anti-J ohnson
sshouters got together and organized
the "Bryan Volunteers. They also
issued an appeal to the people in
which they asked for delegation to
the national convention that would
vote tor Bryan first, last and all the
time.

All, well. that is a minor consideration.

The IDEAL Home.

The most important gift l could bestow
the country, had l the power, would
be an ideal American home. 1t would be
the home OF peace and harmony, says
Right Rev. Samuel Fallows in a sym
postum. "If 1 Were a National Santa
Claus" in the December Deiineator. The
husband would never play the part OF a
tyrant, nor the wife the part OF a scold.
The household CULVER woul be fun OF
happy children who would ever see IN the
companlonable. provident father and the
wise and loving mother the perfection OF
marital love. The beauty OF holiness would
fill the domestic sanctuary. The incense
Of prayer and praise would daily ascend
to heaven from the family altar. Love as
law and law as love would bind every
member to all the duties OF life.
It would be a home of plenty. No wolf
of poverty would ever look in at the door.
The husband. the "houseband." would earn
an ample income by honest effort. Tho
wife, the distributor. would make all the
household expenditures on a Just and gen.
erous basis. Children would meet no need
to go out pr%ematurely to toll for the COM
mon subsistence. and miss all the play and
sport 10 which early youth is entitled.
Thus love conJugal. love nlial, love fra
ternal, united with neighbor loves and
civic. sanctified and glorified by the love
OF God. would give a sheaf OF grace and
virtues before which all other sheaves
known TO man would bow.
II this gift were bestowed and realized It
can easily be seen how widespread the
beneficial effects would be. The ~realiza-
ton OF such a home would mean the solu-
ton OF the labor problem No unnecessary
burden would be placed by capital upon
the Iaborers shoulders. whatever the kind
OF service required. 1t would mean Five
