HOME FUN.

Be not afraid of a little fun at
home. Do not shut your house lest
the sun should fade your carpets; and
your heart lest a laugh should shake
down few musty cobwebs that are
hanging there. If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must be
left at the threshold, without. when
they come home at night. When
once a home is regarded as only
place to eat, drink and sleep in. the
work is begun that ends in gambling
houses and reckless degradation.
Young people must have fun and
relaxation; if they do not find II at
their own hearthstones, they will
seek it at less profitable places.
Therefore, make the home delightful
with all those little arts parents so
well understand. Do not repress the
buoyant spirits of your children. Half
an hour of merriment within the doors
of home blots out the remembrances
of many a care and annoyance during
the day; and the best safeguard they
can take with them into the world Is
the Influence of bright home.-Se-
lected.

INJUSTICE TO HOBSON.

Because he is of the democratic
faith Captain Richmond Pearson Hob,
son has suffered much at the hands
OF certain editors and cheap yellow
journalists.
Hobson was the hero of one of the
bravest deeds ever recorded in the
history of the American navy. As a
public man he is a splendid type of
the cleancut, intelligent. honorable
citizenship of the republic. He is one
of the most brilliant speakers in the
country.
But all of this means nothing to
certain spineless pinheads who hold
down jobs on some of the metropol.
itan dailies. Nor does it have weight
with narrow-minded men who fill
editorial posts on lesser sheets. Hob
son is a democrat. Therefore he
must be ridiculed, cartooned and be,
Titled.
Hobson may have dangers over.
drawn. But in the main he is right
ir the advocacy of a strong navy.
The rule of might is still in effect
throughout the world. If the United
States forgets the fact it is going to
suffer. 1t was the strong right arm
o. Uncle Sam, represented by the
battleship fleet, that produced the
marked hospitality from the Japan
ese.
During his naval career Hobson was
about the world. He saw that bar
tarism still prevails and that if this
country wishes to have the flag of
freedom properly respected it must
Re ready to meet might with might,
But this is all aside from the main
subject, which is the injustice that has
been done HObsOn in his own country.
Ever since he came into fame through
the Merrimac incident he has been
the target for the filings of pert par
agraphers. most of whom do not have
as much stamina as does Hobson in
his little finger. All of the mistreat-
ment has not been from republican
sources. it is true But the most of it |
has 1t is time for it to stop.

THE WEST DISGRACED.

From Omaha comes a story which
if true, disgraces the west.
Recently a young lady went to tnat
city, so the story goes She was of a
well respected Nebraska family and
went there to study music for which
she had much talent. By reason of
her social attainments she was pop
ular in Omaha society until
One day it was discovered that she
was a working girl In order to
assist in meeting her expenses and to
lessen the burden upon her family
she was giving private musical les
sons in homes about the city.
Immediately the young lady was
disgraced in the eyes of certain lead
ers in the butterfly life of the Ne
braska metropolis. She was dropped
from the fashionable visiting lists.
She was snubbed until she had to
leave a musical club to which she
belonged.
Unfortunately. the young lady could
not stand this species of barbarism
and went insane. She died, railing
in her madness against the injustice
that had been done her.
Had this incident happened in the
effete east it would attract but little
notice. II is known that in certain
circles of high society along the At
lantic coast there is little room for
actual men or for the type Of queen
" womanhood that rules the golden
west.
But Omaha is this side the Mis-
sissippi. 1t is in the land where la
Dor has always been honorable and
where social favor has not depended
upon money bags or royal blood. Has
the seed of snobbery blown westward
and taken root in the prairies that
were traversed by Lewis and Clark.
L It has it had better be uprooted.
snobbery Of the type reported from
Omaha is an old world plant. 1t has
no business in America and espec-
ially in the west II has its source in
European royalty. But European
royalty is now a faded degenerate
flower. Some day and may it come
soon, It will be pulled up by the roots
and burned as trash. With it will
20 the imitation aristocracy that now
exists to an extent IN the United
States
The world will see the day when
all will serve and social prestige will
rest upon the measure Of ones man
hood or womanhood Then the
daughters Of Omaha ham-makers will
themselves have 10 become useful or
be ostracised.

BRYAN FOR SENATOR.

In William Jennings Bryan the ma

His personal ability and influence is
probably greater than that Of any
othcr man ln the United States.
Though Bryan has been denied the
ambition Of his life his work has not
been in vain nor will his position in

THE GINGER BREAD MAN.

The gingerbread man is a friend of
mine,
From over the lemonade sea;
He lives in a castle of birthday cake
Near the river Of catnlp tea.
Ev'ry once in a while he sails his ship
Round the perilous candy bay;
And comes to call with his pepper
mint dog,
And his licorice pig 50 gay.
-eoas.~ =
The peppermint dog is the cutest
thing,
And the licorice pig as well;
And they sit and tell the most stran-
gest tales
OF the land where the doughnuts
dwell.
Of the celery woods and sugar caves,
In the groves where the Noodles
sing;
OF the naughty lions that prowl
about.
In search Of the caramel king.
OF the fat taffy bears that lick their
chops.
And frighten the nougatine cats;
Of the toffee. elephants fairy dance,
On the tails Of the gumdrop rats,
And the gingerbread man is awful
nice,
But / think it's the oldest plan;
That he should forsake his castle Of
cake.
For a home in the cookie can.

MR.. BlCkFORD ON SHIP.
SUBSIDY AND REPUBLICANS
He Declares That Dominant Party
Has Promised Often and Done
Nothing

In speech delivered before the
Anal democratic meeting of the cam
paign at the city all last night. MIR.
r. G. Bickford discussed at length
an interview with him which appear
ed in this paper Sunday. He desired
especially to make plain that when
he said that he was supporting the
Democratic nominees he did not mean
to intimate that he no longer believ-
ed in ship subsidy as the best means
of rehabilitating the American
merchant marine.
Mr.. Bickford went on to say that he
was as much in favor Of ship subsidy
as ever, but that he did not look to
the Republican party for ship-sub-
sidy. He declared that he had seen
the Republican party in power for 30
years. and that during that time
nothing had been done by that party
to rehabilitate the merchant marine.
The Republican party had promised
ship subsidy in its platforms. he con-
tinued. but, with maiorities in both
branches Of Congress, had not made
good its promise.
The speaker said most emphatical!y
that ne would continue to fight for
the subsidy. but that he would make
the fight within the party lines.
Discussing the battleship question.
Mr.. Bickford said that President
Roosevelt had asked for four battle
ships ana a Republican Congress had
given two, when it might have given
a gross if it had 50 desired.
