When the people Of Nebraska elect
governor they elect him to be chief
executive of the state for two years.
They do not elect him to be governor
merely while the legislature is in ses-
sion, or to be governor only long
enough to sign or veto legislation on
some particular subject but they elect
him to represent all the varied indus
tries Of our people, to speak for them
officially on proper occasions, to ad-
minister the state institutions, to SUI
pervise the conduct Of all the state
executive offices, and to do all this not
for week or month, but for two
whole years and until a successor is
duly elected and qualified.
In choosing between the two candi-
dates who are running for governor
in Nebraska this year, therefore, the
voters will do well to consider all the
work to be done and not merely the
bare possibility that the governor may
be called upon to approve or veto a
particular law upon a single subject
If they will do this and decide with
full appreciation of the capabilities
and qualifications Of the opposing
candidates they will give their prefer
ence to Chester H. Aldrich, heading
the republican ticket
In all of the public Offices which Mr..
Aldrich has held he has performed his
duties with fidelity and efficiency and
has made good, while in none of the
offices his opponent has held has he
made a record in which anyone has
any right to take pride. In the state
senate Mr.. Aldrich was a leader and
not a follower; 1t was a session in
which it took sharp fighting to nut
through the reform laws which had
been promised to the people, and Mr..
Aldrich was on the firing line all the
time Had that state senate been
made up of democrats like the demo-
cratic gubernstorial nominee these
reform laws would never have been
enacted.
When it comes to going to the front
in the name of the state on public oc-
casions there is no comparison to be
made between Mr.. Aldrich and his
cowboy opponent. With Mr.. Aldrich
as governor no Nebraska man or
woman would have to live in trepida-
ton of always imminent disgrace
brought upon the state by some bad
break of their executive, but one and
all would rest content that the good
name Of their state was in safe hands

Parents and the Teacher

The average parent is quick to re-
sent what may seem to be undue au-
thority by a school teacher over a
child; quick to maintain that the
school has no right to usurp the func-
tions of the home. But, on the other
hand, too many parents unconsciously
leave for the school to do precisely
what they hold it shall not do. what
they claim to be the exclusive province
of the home. In other words, many
parents of easy-going dispositions neg
lect their duties in training their chill
dren and leave them to be performed
by the teacher, if they are performed
at all. Such neglect, OF course, throws
burdens upon the teacher which she
ought not to bear, and which moral
and civil laws never intended she
should bear. 1t is wrong to the child,
for in time it will come to understand
the situation and take advantage of it.
The old adage of spare the rod and
spoil the child" is not so popular to-
day as 1t used to be because moral
suasion seems to have the upper hand
just now as the proper system of child
culture. But, nevertheless, the old
idea cannot safely be entirely rele-
gated, and here again arises a gross
injustice where parents are too lenient
or Indifferent and leave their work to
be done by the teachers. The laws in
many cities and states, or the school
regulations, provide that where teach
ers find corporal punishment neces-
sary they must obtain parental author
ity before inflicting it and in many of
these very cases of parental neglect
of duty the authority cannot be OBJ
tanned. Such parents are making the
work of the schools and the school au-
thorities exceedingly hard, as we'll as
imposing injustices upon those who
have to do with their children outside
of the school room. 1t is, of~eourse.
a serious wrong to the child, for he
will have to pay the penalty for lack
of character training in after years.

The Negative Quantity.

The negative quantity is that which
stands for denial as opposed to asser-
ton, for absence as opposed TO pres
ence for minus as opposed to plus.
1t does not represent the aggressive,
progressive factor in anything. In
character it destroys more than il
builds up. II retards more than II
promotes. 1t is an element that needs
TO be guarded against in every life
that aims to accomplish things worth
while. Boys and girls, young men
and young women, getting their char
acter growth and education, should be
especially watchful lest they fall into
the habit Of negation. Their efforts
or influence can count for little il they
become negative quantities The only
lives that make much OF an imprint
on the world ere of the positive kind
those that really stand for something
that can do more than merely deny.
This negative quantity is found in
many realms. The negative sign in
algebra, for instance, is the minus
sign. The negative in logic is the de-

Magazine Progress.

In its current number, The Century
magazine, celebrates its fortieth ami
versary with an exhibit designed to
show the progress made in that time
of the illustrators art as adapted to
periodical literature. The Century is
not the oldest of our literary maya
zines, for of its contemporaries Har-
per's is older and has made concur
rent advance in press work and con-
tents. But the retrospect serves to re-
mind us of the wonderful transforma-
ton wrought by the new engraving
processes. The Century magazine to-
day is as much ahead of what il was
forty years ago, as a Pullman coach
on the modern limited train is ahead
of the car dragged over bumpy rails
by our first locomotives. Nor is the
progress in the illustrators art con-
fined to the monthly magazines. 1t
extends to the pictorial weeklies and
to the high-speed dailies. A similar
collection of newspaper pictures over
as many years would be equally eye
opening. The best part OF it is that
the progress already made is assur-
ance Of further improvement toward
perfection.

ter does the same thing. 1t presents
a distorted view Of life. II reverses
its shades and colors and offers a re-
verse picture. 1t does not give us the
real beauty OF varied tints and lines
and the true perspective. We can
get these only by waiting until the
negative has been transferred into the
positive-the real picture
SO while the negative has an office,
it is a subsidiary one. 1t is always
preliminary or incidental to the main
issue. Those kind Of examples in life
are not very helpful or influential.
They lack color, they lack vitality,
courage, spine. They are nerveless
and often worthless.

Talk about the sting Of ingratitude,
isn't it the hyperbole of ingratitudo
for a man to set up the statute of linn
itations and to refuse to pay back
stolen money borrowed from another
who served FIVE years in the peniten-
tiary, with sealed lips, to protect his
debtor? Is there anything that a
man who would do that would con-
slider too dishonorable to do?

The "stop Thief, Crv.

Il is the clever ruse Of the expert

All the time Mr.. Hitchcock's World
Herald was demanding that John F.

crying stop thief" because some Of
his insurance inspectors had been

cock, was concealing about his person
the money he had shaken down out of
the defaulter, Joseph S. BARLEY.
All the time Mr.. Hitchcock's World
Herald was loudly questioning Will
liam Stuefer as to where he kept the
funds in his hands as state treasurer
and crying stop thief" after him for
refusing to answer, its editor. Gilbert
NJ. Hitchcock, had in his possession
stolen money borrowed from BARLEY
that ought to have been in the
treasury.
All the time Mr. Hitchcock's World
Herald was pounding Judge T. l.. Nor

out even the shadow of a claim for

All the time Mr. Hitchcock's World
Herald was Safeguarding Senator

to keep his partnership in the treasury
shortage covered up.
All the time Mr.. Hitchcock's World

cock, was holding out several thou
sand dollars of Bartley's stealings sim
ilarly borrowed.
The recklessness with which the
WorldHerald has raised the stop
thief" cry on every occasion and on
the slightest pretext all these years is
more readily understood now, when
its editor, Gilbert M. Hitchcock, con-
fesses that he not only got some of the
money BARLEY stole, but got away
with it even from BARLEY himself.

For State Treasurer

With the campaign searchlight on
crooked treasury transactions Of the
past, it behooves the voters of Ne
braska to make sure that the state
money is kept in the hands of a custo-
dian both competent and honest. We
have no hesitation in recommending
the republican candidate for state
treasurer, Walter A. George. who has
an unassailed reputation for integrity.
He is a pioneer of Custer county. has
been mayor OF Broken Bow, was a
delegate to the last republican ma
tional convention, and when he gives
his word it may be depended on. His
democratic opponent is some one
known by the name of Hall, who
would have to be taken on blind faith.
II they want to feel sure they are
making no mistake, the voters will
mark their ballots next week for
Walter A. George for state treasurer.

MODERN COMFORTS COST.
Living Comes High, but Consider
What You Get

New York Herald.
Despite all the hue and cry against the
Increased cost OF living It is doubtful IL
the price OF necessities OF life has kept
pace with the increase of average earnings
since the civil war. Manufactured goods
were dearer then than now, but the mod
ern craze for luxurious city life has led
to the enormous rents which fall upon us
so heavily. Water, gas electricity, pave
ments and public service all cost money.
and 1t is the consumer who pays for them
as we'll as for the rich furnishings of
hotels and theaters, the elaborate service
in high class restaurants and the band
that plays during dinner.
In short, it is luxurious ease that costs
nowadays. II we were to go back to the
primitive ways Of our forebears make our
own clothes, raise our own vegetables and
chop our own wood, We would find the
main problem of life as easy of solution as
they did.
