YEISER

Fremont Tribune: John o. Yeissr Ii an
exnert at inventing ways to keep In the
limelight- Exploiting Roosevelt is his
favorite method now.
Red Cloud Advertiser: John Yeiser at
one time lived in Red Cloud. That is why
he is SO windy. Johns advocacy Of Teddy
is principally hot air. John is a good
fellow and q pusher.
Tekamah Herald: The nomination OF
Roosevelt for president by John o. Yeiser
OF Omaha should be taken with consid-
cradle salt. John o. has a penchant for
getting in the Hmellght. A little notoristy
goes long way with our friend Yeiser.
Central City Nonpareil: The irrepressi-
BILE and ubiquitous John o. Yeiser has
placed Nebraska In the limelight by filing
"a petition asking tina, Theodore Roose-
velt's name be placed on the ballots as
a candidate for president. And the funny
thing about the matter seems to be that
Teddy can't help himself.
Falls City Journal: John o. Yelser has
given the politicians q real scare by
filing Roosevelt for the presidential pri-
mary. IL Roosevelt remains silent he will
sweep the state like prairie fire. 1t will
probably be a good plan TO elect Roose-
welt delegates anyway, so that repre-
sentative lot of real republicans are sent
to the convention. Nothing could come
OF sending a bunch Of La Toilette in
surgents but party disruption.
Blue Springs Sentinei: yeiser OF Omaha,
John o. by name. is trying to keep him

petition to have the name Of Theodore

Mr. Labouchere entered the diplomatic
service during the Crimean war, youth

superiors into a keen sympathy with the
frame Of mind described in Ecclesiastes

den" After ten years experience OF
diplomatic life he retired. But the mem
cries Of the period dwelt with him, and
furnished him ih committee Of supply on
the civil service estimates with many
quaint IL occasionally apocryphai stories
and illustrations.
One OF the best known Is Of his journey
from Dresden to Constantinopie. which
he quoted as illustrating the imperative
niggardliness which rules at the foreign
office in contrast with the wealth iavished
on the continental residences of British
ambassadors. Tie young attache not put

expenses. and that as his private means
were limited, Mr.. Labouchere was walk
