WAR ON INSURGENTS
Heroic Measures to Be Adopted to
Pass Taft Bills.

Through the. formation Wednesday
of an organization which the leaders
aim represents clear majority of
the entire senate and to be made up
wholly of republicans of the 'regu-
lar'' wing, movement was started
with intent to settle the question
whether the senate shall remain con-
sentative, become radical, or be
thrown into political chaos SO far as
concerns any policy in regard to the
administration legislative program
Senator Aldrich called the regular
republican senators together and con-
fronted them with grim description
of the possible political effect of their
apparent defeat at the hands of the
'.insurgent' republicans and demo-
Gratis in the fight over the traffic
agreement section of the administers
ton railroad bill He asked his as
sociates whether they were ready to
submit to domination by such a COM
bination. Any such surrender, he
warned them, meant the failure of
the Taft policies and the downfall of
conservative control, not only in con-
gress, put in the republican, party
generally.
Someone reminded Senator Aldrich
that senators then and there gathered
together were not in agreement on
all points. Whereupon he replied that
they must get together and agree to
stand together and let the details be
ascendary. Otherwise, he said, con-
gress would adjourn without a single
item of the Taft program accomplish
ed.
The entire tone OF. this conference
was belligerent as toward the in
surgents. This was the dominant
note: LET us get together and stand
as unit against every insurgent
proposition. If the insurgents propose
anything good, we'll take it over
bodily and put it through as our
own; if they propose anything bad,
we'll stamp it out. y

The Fountain of Youth.

tC OOuNdut " O0ehs
Poor old Ponce de Leon went in
search the fountain of youth, and if
man goes in seach of youth to free
his iron muscles of rheumatism and
put Hyperion curls upon his bald
dome, why should women hesitate one
instant If they can find anything to
bring back the roses and youthful ap-
pearance that were theirs in the hey
dey of youth? Oh what a struggle it
is to many, What a pathetic seach
for the unattainable! Not always the
unattainable, either, for there are
many beauty fountains these days,
but there are many who can not fire.
quent them The secret of beauty is
health and happiness. Without health.
one can not be happy, but real physical
beauty emanates from health. The best
health breaks and beauty fades under
mental distress. So the secret is: Be
happy. If you can't be genuinely
mirthful, then try to be pleasant.
Cheerfulness is a sunshine of its own,
a tonic and beartifier. The happy
woman with laugh on her lips and
a twinkle in her eyes stands at the
fountain of youth and passes the
beauty cup to her sisters. Cheerful
ness first, then-cDsmetics Every
woman owes it to herself and her sey
to be just as pretty as possible. OF
course, we have all heard the remark
that God certainly loved ugly women
or he would not have made so many of
: them, but we are not SO eager to meet
women of faultless features as we are
to meet women of faultless ways. The
sunshine of laughter and song is more
attractive than. paints and powders
l am not trying to destroy the trade
of beauty shops G. drug stores by this
assertion, for without them some
women would be-well, less attractive.

Plant sio Crop.

Lynchburg, Va, May 6.-Reports
from the counties which market dark
leaf tobacco on the local market are
that there will be an abundance of
plants to set out large crop of the
weed this spring. It was feared a
month ago that the drouth Of March
would cut the crop short because
the tobacco beds were short of
plants. The fine growing weather of
April, however, seems to have re-
versed the condition and the farmers
are expected to plant equally as much
tobacco this year as was plant I'd q
year ago.

Mine! Doctors Are Successful

/ The miner doctors officially
known as the First Aid to the injured
corps-have turned out a pronounced
success i'll the anthracite region OF
northeastern Pennsylvania. One at.
ter another, all the large companies
have adopted the system, and it has
grown steadily in Importance.
The first-aid corps is composed OF
young men who work in the mines.
They are trained by physician te
give prompt treatment to fellow
workers who are injured. Their skill
has prevented much suffering, and in
many cases has saved lives.
The first organization of the kind
was started at the Jermyn Colliery Of
the Delaware and Hudson Company.
After that the Philadelphia and
Reading, the Lackawanna, the Lee
high Valley, the Pennsylvania Coal
Company, the Hillside Coal and the
Iron Company, the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre, the Susquehanna, the
Ontario and Western and other com
panies had first. aid corps organized
and trained
The company retains physician to
superintend its first aid work. He be-
comes a teacher and drill master,
putting the squad through their PAGES
at stated times. He shows them how
to put splints on broken limbs, induce
artificial respiration, stop a flow OF
blood, dress burns, bandage wounds,
and carry an injured miner gently
along steep gangways. They are also
taught where first-aid ends and a
PHYSICIANS work begins, SO that they
will not venture to to administer
drugs.
Every now and then there are con-
tests, TO- prizes, between the various
first aid corps Of company. Occas-
ionally public exhibitions are held,
where the mems families and friends
may see them display their skill.
These exhibitions cultivate a spirit
of friendly rivalry and tend to keep
up the standard of efficiency.

secret o. success.

A great fallacy exists among some
people in this world that there is a
royal road to success. :" If there were
such a thing, however, surely more
people would achieve success. If it
were only necessary to follow certain
rules nd maxims to be successful-well
decidedly, girls there would be vast
ly less number of failures in the
world If you ask 20 people whom we
call successful; the reason they have
got on in life. each one will give
you a different reply.
Mrs. Oliphant, the novelist. held that
the true secret of success was to be
able to deny ones self. A similar
opinion is held by the present-day
magnate, Sir Thomas Upton.
Though it is impossible to point out
any general road to success there are
certain points which all may bear in
mind:
Never be idle
Always speak the truth.
Live up to your engagements.
Keep good company or none.
Be just before you are generous.
Earn money before you spend it.
Never play at any game of chance.
Good character is above all things
else
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquor.
Keep your own secrets, if you have
any.
Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it.

There is a new play on the boards
in which a doting maiden aunt is
heard to give her reckless, spend
thrift young nephew this advice:
my boy, understand and sympa-
thize with your high spirits and do
want you to have good time. You
are full of health and new-found
strength. Maybe you are growing up
harder than most boys-your bills for
hgoken glass have been numerous and
large-but only love you the more
for your spirit There is only one
thing you might do that could not
forgiye-to hurt or wrong a woman
This is the prayer of every mother,
although some of the dear, poor moth
ers tell their sons too late. OF not at
all. To the son who is honest such
prayer from his mothers lips would
never be forgotten, and would live in
his conscience and guide him, and
save womankind from much of it's
deepest sorrow and sharpest pain. 1t
is too often mistaken modesty
which prevents a mother from deal
ing frankly with her children in the
great life questions. Unfortunate is
the boy or girl who has not heard
from mothers loving lips the truth
concerning proper life conduct.
To our mothers we look for the
refining influences. The best in
fuences upon men are inherited from
their mothers and grandmothers.
Strength, intelligence and courage
may come from father and grandfath-
er-these, too, are coming more now
than ever before from our advanced
mother@but the gentle touch of a
loving hand, the sweetness and moral
purity of life, come from the woman
in man.
That is why the one great irrepara-

givable crime is the crime wronging
an innocent and trusting woman.

which every other man does not en-

ing the law, is a law-breaker, and in
that sense has in%criminated himself
before the bar of justice. Whether
he be the most prominent parsonage

of the tenements, It makes absolute
ly no difference. The law of simple
justice is no %respeeter of persons and
knows no fayorites. There are ugly

Putting Corn Through Its PAGES

The National Corn show, which holds
its session in December of each year
at Omaha, is about the most worth
while thing for thegeneral farmer on
the convention map. Men who have
grown grain all their lives can be
heard to say every day as they study
its exhibits that they have learned
more in a week there than in all the
| rest of their lives. Corn is shown
there being put through its PAGES. Ev-
cry experiment station exhibits its
favorite trick of cereal. One shows
just how much it takes the tuck out
of corn to be moved a few miles: and
the farmer looking at the exhibit
comes to see that corn is aplant that
does best where it is wonted to the
climate and soil. Everywhere, the eff
feet of heredity is shown. the loss
of vigor when the silk gets no pol
len except from its own stalk, the
oiccuihS III d gel germ WHICH give
oil or for a small one which gives
starch. In one field We see corn
bred for a low ear beside the same
variety generations removed
which carries its ears higher than a
tall mans head. Over yonder is show
a kind with ears standing erect along
the stalk, and beside it a variety bred
from the same seed only a few wears
back the ears of which hang down.
This is good for the farmer TO gnow,
for ii teaches him that corn can be
taught 10 do about what the breeder
wishes, 1t is the most biddable of
grains. 1t responds to treatment. 1t
will give good yields if bred correct
~. One variety will yield as much as
forty bushels more to the acre than
another under the same conditions.
We know a great deal of this, but to
see it before our eyes, sends us back
TO the farm with renewedfaith in pure
bred plants, either of corn or other
grain. If all the farmers went to
the Omaha show who would be paid
for the trip, the town would not hold
them next year.

BURLINGTON ROUTE.
All Through Trains to Be Electric
Lighted.

In the history of American rail
roading no such extensive and costly
improvements of coach lighting has
eve been attempted up to this time
as that which will be made effective
by the Burlington Route the first OF
June.
On that date all of it's through
trains will be electric lighted from
locomotive headlight to observation
platform. The most efficient electric
lighting system yet devised has been
adapted, namely, the dynamo system
With this system there is installed
in the baggage car of each train a
high-power dynamo which supplies
the current for the entire train. Or.
dinarily, when the dynamo car is de.
tached, there is a distinct dimmine
Of the lights, but under the dynamo
system not only is enough current
generated to light the train when il
is in motion or standing still, but
enough surplus current is stored in
each individual ear TO brilliantly light
it for several hours without any dir.
ect current from the dynamo. This
in itself is a big improvement over
other systems of car lighting.
With this great improvement, the

unexcelled in its equipment, dining

Out For State Superintendent.
Peru. Neb., June p, 19f

Peru. Neb, June %, 1910.
TO the People of Nebraska:
In response to an urgent demand
from educators and from other cit
liens throughout the state I have
decided to present my name before
the republican primaries for the state
superintendency.
| desire to say that the efficiency
of tn State Department of Education
is such that no one can hope to i'm
prove greatly upon it. Having been in
close touch with The work of the
department during the past twelve
years. understanding and approving Of
the leading policies of the administra-
lions of Jackson, Fowler, McBrien
and Bishop, together with my know
ledge of public school conditions in
the state | feel that | ought TO be
able if elected to continue the pres
emit efficiency of the office and to
continue the growth and importance
of this department in its relations to
the common and higher schools of the
state ! regret that Superintendent
Bishop is not to remain in the to re-
main TO work out more fully the excel
lent movements started during his
administration. IT would be my de-
sire 10 maintain the general policy
of the present administration with
reference TO the teaching of agricul-
turo and other industrial work in the
schools. l would earnestly desire to
lay special emphasis on the practical
and essential phases of all subjects
taught in public schools. 1t would
be my aim to impress upon the
schools Of the state the necessity of
giving a more thorough knowledge of
the common school branches, not
only as a basis for further study but
more especially for the benefit of the
many whose education ends with
the completion of the common school
studies.
1t would be my aim to continue the
present harmonious relation between
the normal schools, colleges and uni
yersity, and to ankle the articulation
even more perfect between them.

n DEVILS GAME.

Much is being said and written
these days concerning "a sane
Fourth" It's the devils game 10
turn every noble and inspiring senti-
ment into a bargain counter, to tempt
and debaueh the people. The Amer
lcanized Santa Claus is the most
successful advertising agent ever in
vented. In order that vile men may
sell their worthless wares to big
advantage, the sacred memories of
independence Day" have been drag
ged into the lime light of publicity.
Sensible people are awakening to a
realization of the fact that the in
sane practice of the American PEG
pie n burning up fireworks, and in
~cidentally manning and killing scores
of their kind, Is not patriotism, but
a miserable delusion perpetrated up.
ON the |credulity of the masses by
the makers of this truck in order
TO get rid of their wares. No wonder
they are ~agitating for a sane Fourth.
But while we are agitating the noisy
devil plays his stunt and pockets the
spoil. When will the American peo-
pie come to their senses and do away
with this senseless mummery.
Our boys are being taught to be-
lieve and understand that American
ism Is most perfectly represented in
letting loose all the forces of riot
and destruction. The greater the
racket and the bigger the amount Of
truck burned mp, the greater the dis
play of patriotism. No wonder we

is a fool except the manufacturer and

ed up the fever, sold his junk and re-
tired from the scene before the fun

IN A NUT e

You can make what is essentially
bad, good by legislation. The only
way to get right is by being right.
There is only one effective remedy
for the chronic ills of Falls City and
that is a thorough house cleaning.
The proper place for each man to
begin is at his own fireside. The
people are the city and the city is
neither more nor less than what the
people make it,. When the individ.
ual citizen awakens to his personal
responsibility in relation to existing
abuses; when each man does his
duty by his fellows, there will be
quick and radical changes in local
affairs. It's the citizenship that de-
termines the status of the city. Let
us have a better class of citizens
and We will have a better city. If
each man will deal honestly and Sc
yerely with himself We will have
a better citizenship. But, a cynical
brother exclaims. impractical, you
don't know the people. 1t may be
impartial, but it is the Gospel of de-
liyerance from municipal misrule and
boss domination. Its the way out.
Possible or impossible. Make the
most Of 1t.
