What do we decorate men for?
For leading a forlorn hope.
Who leads such forlorn hopes as
women do? Think Of the women
who spend their lives trying to re-
form drunken sons and husbands,
complish the miracle hat never
comes to pass. There is no hour Of
the day when their nerves are not
taut with anxiety, no watch Of the
night that does not find them lis
tening for the drag Of a heavy step
and the fumbling Of an unsteady
hand at the door.
Friends have long since aban-
doned these degenerates. Acuuaint-
ances have cut them. but it never
occurs to the wife or mother to cut
herself loose. Her courage never
fails her. She never ceases her
fight. and the battle to bring them
back to decent things is never end
ed for her until her hands are stilled
in her coffin.
Through a thousand years the
legend has been told Of the bravery
Of the Spartan youth who smiled
while the foxes gnawed at his vitals.
out you can match that story in q
hundred cases OF women o yourself
know whO smile above
hearts Will they tell pitiful lies to
try to hide how the faithlessness of
their husband is stabbing them to
the SOUL.
The courage Of women is beyond
oellef. Perhaps the reason it has
never been rewarded is because it
has been so common that it has not
attracted attention.: but it is time
that we recognize this gallantry and
reward it as we do the bravery OF
men. Too long women have borne

cause Of the injury, We mink IL
too plain for argument that II the

cause of the injury and the sole

of the defendant to have provided a

Here's q How .Dy-Do.

In the language OF the immortal
mikado, Here's a how-dy-do." In
fact, II may almost be called "a
pretty mess"
Our Nebraska presidential primary
law provides for the election Of all
delegates to national conventions by
direct vote of the members OF the re-
specttve political parties. and tells
Just how II shall be done. Four del
egates are to be elected by the state
at large and the remainder OF the
number apportioned to Nebraska are
to be elected by the congressional
districts and to be divided equally be-
tween the districts.
But. 10 and behold. here comes the
call for the national nominating con-
vention Of the prohibition party Civ
ing each state representation by four
delegates-at-large and an additional
delegate for every 200 votes cast for
the prohibition candidate In the las,
election. Reference to the oficial
statistics discioses that Chafin. the
prohibition candidate for president
in 1908 received exactly 5.17s votes
In Nebraska This state will. there
fore. be entitled to thirty delegates
In the prohibition convention. o
whom, under our presidential pri
mary law, four must be chosen q
large throughout the state and foul
and one-third delegates must b,
chosen from each of the six con
gressional districts.
Who is the prohibition pooh-bal
who wants to stand for the position
OF one-third Of delegatef Don't al
speak at once.

Now You're Talking.

Commend US to our amiable demo-
cratic contemporary, the World
Herald, for the frankest survey Of the
present political outlook that We have
yet seen coming from any demo-
cratic source. 0ver-exuberant demo-
Gratis, and some weak-hearted repub-
licans. have been habitually deluding
themselves with the notion that
democratic president is in sight. and
that whatever standard-bearer may
be nominated by the democrats is
sure of a walk-away at the election.
The World-Herald punctures this
hallucination. Warning democrats OF
the danger OF over-eonfidence, 1t in
vites them TO face the situation
squarely," and reminds them that
when Mr.. Bryan ran he imagined
himself elected each time only to be
overwhelmingly defeated when the
NOleS were tOuuicus Lfth III AsNot
the humiliating admission is made,
with harmonious and united party
at his back he carried Nebraska, his
own state. by the narrowest margin"
neglecting to add that this was ac-
eomplished by the theft Of populist
votes through the misbranding of
democratic presidential electors.
Four years ago the democrats
picked Mr.. Taft as a weak candidate
for the republicans to nominate. and
they were badly fooled when he
proved his strength. So our amiable
democratic contemporary is at last
really talking when 1t says that
when Taft is renominated all the
republican ranks will rally behind
him. and TO defeat him will be no
mere holiday affair"

London did not take very kindly
to the American whirlwind method
Of raising 100000 for the erection
of a Young Mems Christian Assoeia-
ton building and London was about
to let the time limit expire on Mr..
Wards work when suddenly j. p.
Morgan, who vas soiourning some
where in the old world, dispatched his
check for 100000 to complete the

graciously to the Young Mems Chris

be stated that the ready rescuer was
an American, not a Briton.
Half a million dollar funds for
these buildings have been raised In
