Falls CITY HOSPITALITY

The following is what the Hia
watha World has to say of the
Elks smoker in this city last week.
"The Falls City Elks are good
fellows and good entertainers.
The smoker they gave at the Ma.
tional Hotel Friday night was en-.
ioyed by 200 or more good men
some of them journeying from a
distance to be present. Capt,
Spence, the National Hotel man,
is to be complimented on his fine
spread and the manner in which
he overcame difficulties. Few, if
any country town hotel men. could
do as well. The toastmaster,
Frank Reavis, is the prettiest
talker in the west. Robt. Cain,
Exalted Ruler Wakeley, match
less orator from Plattsmouth,
Matthew Gehring, made splendid
addresses. Such harmonious
gatherings and inspiring septi-
ments are worth much to any
town. They uplift and make
better all concerned.

Aged Pioneer Dies In Denver

Uncle Jesse Crook received
news from Denver, Colo, recently
of the death of Aunt Peggy
Crook his brother Allen s wife
Uncle Allen and Aunt Peggy
Crook were born and brought ur
in the state of Tennessee but re.
moved to and were married in the
state of Missouri. They lived
for 80 years in Andrew County,
Mo-, but removed to Colorado in
the first years of the Civil war
and settled on large ranch adj
joining Denver where they lived
together until the death of Uncle
Allen which occurred in 1898.
Since then aunt has lived with
her daughter Mrs. Case Howell,
The funeral was largely attended
by the old pioneers and friends of
the deceased. 1t was pathetic
indeed to see those old friends
gather around the caSket to take
their last look at and pay tri-
butte of respect to one they loved
and respected SO highly. Aunt
Peggy Lovelady Crook was one
of t hose southern characters
known for her hospitality and
true and loving Christian quail
ties. Loved and respected by all
who knew her. The deceased
leaves one daughter Mrs. Howell,
five grand children and seven
great grand children to mourn
for her. Had she lived until
March 18th, she would have
been 90 years of age.

Talk Is Cheap, But 1t Pays

The free treatment given to poor
people always proves Il good invest
ment by the German doctors OF this
city. The numerous cures are talked
OF so much that their offices at 532
Broad dway, are overcrowded. The best
equipment obtainabe, combined with
years of experience enable these spec
ialists to produce cures which astound
even the medical profession. Their
offer of free treatment will close next
week, and all who take advantage of it
must call or write at once.

Modern Educators

''It makes no difference how
many or what magazines or books
you may read, the undisputed fact
remains that the daily newspaper
is the real educator of the people, -
says the Fort Smith (Ark. )Record.
"rhe daily newspaper stands
alone. It's editor faces all classes
of people, both good and bad, and
no priest, physician or attorney,
ever gets as close to the good side
OF humanity as does the editor,
who, he regrets to state, also sees
human nature without its mask in
all lis baseness, as neither con-
fessor, physician or lawyer ever
does.
"rhe late Rev. DR.. Talmage once
said with more force and truth
than even he appreciated, that the

room for all humanity and he
added, 4 often wonder that all

convictions, is not drawn from his
conception of what Is right simply
because you withdraw from him
your little subscription or your
advertising patronage, or even
your friendship.
"While the editor desires to re
tain all three, he would much pre-
fer to lose them rather than to
sacrifice his liberty of action and
his right to pursue the course
which brains, thought and charac-
ter determine.
Editors are not always men of
education, that is to say they are
not graduates from some promi.
nent university, but they have
been trained in the hard and bit
ter school of experience, wherein
they bumped up against the pol
ished college graduate, the Judases
of wealth and influence, and the
untutored simple men and women
of every day life; and from them
they learned how to measure hu.
manity.

The Leading Candidate.

OHuer the ABOVE headlng, the
Independent, a strong New Yorl
weekly magazine, in its issue ot
Feb, Is, 1908, discusses editori.
ally the republican presidential
situation as follows:
We made mention last week OF
the extraordinary unanimity with
which our correspondents had
expressed their euthuastic ap-
proval of President Rooseyelt's
policies. The Chicago Tribune
has now received about six thous-
and replies to questions as to the
issues and candidates before the
people, and has found the same
unanimity. This is not so strange
in the latter case, for that iourn
al may be supposed to find it's
clientele mainly in the North
Central States, while our circu-
lation is widely distributed over
the country, and not least in these
Eastern States, where there is
great difference of view, if we
were to Judge from the leading
journals. But there is very little
difference of view among the
people. They take no stock in
the Roosevelt" panic. In this
city the Times, Sun and Evening
Post, not to speak of the sensa.
tional morning journal, are
strongly in opposition, and the
Tribune is cody loyal. But they
do not represent the people;
they represent their owners.
And it is equally remarkable
that the larger portion of the
democrats are as emphatic in
their approval Of the Presidents
policies as are the republicans.
Indeed, it is not easy to see how
the platforms of the two parties
can differ, except as one will say
protection, while the other will
say revenue, and both agree for
about the same revision of the
tariff. But the tariff is not the
issue. The issue is the govern
mental control of corporate activ-
tiles in interstate traffic; and
these all agree, except the few
who declare that it is the Presi-
dent who created the panic. AS
to issues we seem to have come
to a period of harmony, though
not an "era of good feeling"
like that at the time of President
Monroe.
What then, does this mean as
to the selection of Presidential
candidates? 1t means that the
republicans are sure to nominate
a man who will claim to repre-
sent Mr. Roosevelt's policies.
That is settled. 1t means the
democrats will do the same. But
it also means that those who op-
pose these policies will work
underhand and seek the nomi-
nation of candidate who will be
in favor of the policies and laws,
but against their execution.
They will seek a safe" man, a
conservative" man, man with
less "erratic" and Sensational"
temper and tongue than the pres
ent incumbent of the office. They
will then compare the records of
candidates, the temper of their
language on these subjects. The
democrats will divide between a
man like Mr.. Bryan, whom the
advanced wing will follow, while

Expert Will Come

The department of agriculture
has definitely arranged to send an
expert to Nebraska to act in con-
junction with the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station, SO far as possi-
The Falls City tribune., 1908-02-28

the conservatives will ask a man
like Judge Gray, who will draw
off the conservatives from the
republican ranks. Equally the
republicans will divide between a
candidate who is positively
pledged to the present policy of
control, and one whose support
of it will be lukewarm and in
effective. Who shall it be?
President Roosevelt believes
that Mr.. Taft would carry on his
work, and wishes his nomination.
We see no reason why a president
should be forbidden to take an
active interest in the selection of
his successor, so long as he does
not employ Latin-American meth
DDS of enSuring his selection and
election. The fact that the preSi-
dents choice is for Taft will be
strong influence iii his favor.
The people believe in Roosevelt,
and will believe in the man he
believes in. In his speeches Mr..
Taft has made his position per-
fectly clear and positive. There
is no discount there. This is of
essential Importance. Then two
other things may be added, ex-
perience and character. His char
acter is not simply beyond flaw,
but from the beginning of his
student life he has been noted for
his high sense of honor, his
avoidance Of anything low or
questionable. His experience has
been beyond that of any other
candidate in just those fields of
service which will occupy our
next President. He is a consum-
mate lawyer, often spoken of tor
chief justice Of the supreme court,
and has had that long judicial
which gives weight
and judgment. AS secretary of
war he has conducted in an admir-
able manner the development of
our colonial possessions. He has
been colonial secretary more than
secretary of war, and next to the
internal question of control of
corporations the control Of our
colonies in by far the most i'm
portant business of our National
W desperately
need a wise and strong man like
Taft to see to it that the same
sort of men who would monop-
olize our means of production
and traffic do not exploit our
colonial possessions to the injury
and oppression of their inhabit-
ants. We want man who, like
Taft, has shown his sympathy
with the people, and has no
patience with the racial antagon-
ism which endangers our relation
with them. 1t is a tremendous
advantage which Mr.. Taft has,
that he has developed self-govern-
ment in the Philippines, prosperity
and good will in Porto Rico, has
been benevolently disposed to
the people Of Cuba, and has en-
sured the success of the Isthmian
Canal and OF the little American
territory through which it passes.
We do not mean in this at all to
the pre-eminent work of
the president, but in all these
matters, by his management and
by his presence he has done
service, which certifies
what he would do as president.
1t is for these reasons that the
people trust him.

PRUSSIA TO GRANT WOMEN EDUCATION EQUAL TO MEN.

Berlin.-German homes and Ger
man newspapers have been far more
occupied during the end Of the week
with the Prussian Governments de-

women than by discussions on Ger

the meeting Of the two sovereigns.
The granting of educational opportu-

women have been considered as the
