Attend Receptions at State
Headquarters and Express
Confidence of Victory.

Republican state Chairman Lakin
and his corps of able and busy as
sistants at party headquarters have
been holding a reception since the
Tar and ElIs' state convention
opened. Among the visitors are!
many leading men from all parts OF
the state who are active and inter
ested in Republican politics, and
they lost no time after their arrival
here IN calling on Chairman Lakfn
and inspecting the suite OF twenty
ofhces on the third floor OF the Oak
Hall building from which the Re
publican party is wagng one OF its
biggest battles in many years
The visitors have expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
busy appearance of things at heads
quarters and with the cheerful OPP
,tinism and confidence of such ex-
perienced campaigners as Lak:n,
Highland, Berheim, Brooks Smith
and the rest of the hustlers at the
head of the various departments
The callers were surprised that the
big party machinery had been got
pofng in so short a time. and de-
lighted with the thoroughly sys-i
Yematfc manner in which the cam
naign IS bein run. It is a safe pre-
diction that every visitor will go
hack to hs respective county carry
ing the message Of cheer to his fel-
low Republicans that Tnere IS MOTH

> campaign of unusual activity
hacked up by feeling OF certainty
as 70 the victorious outcome, is be-
ling waged from this city.

MIND AND PRICES.
Power of Mind Over Matter is DIS
cussed by Lincoln Journal.


The power of mind over matter is
nowhere more strikingly manifest, we
believe, than upon the cost OF living.
| Without going into the physchology
or metaphysics of the matter we lay
down the hypothesis that expectation
tends to bring things to pass. We ex-
pect high and higher prices and we
| have them.
Explore your mind and see ii this
isn't true. We look upon the corn
in June. In July we look again, ex-
pecting to find it grown higher. Our
expectation is always realized. Elk
actly so-own up now-we have come
to look upon the prices OF the things
we buy. To have the groceryman or
the haberdasher charge less today
than he charged yesterday seems
contrary to nature-as much so as
for corn to be ripper in June than in
August. Knowing that we expect pri-
ces to be higher what SO natural but
that the grocer and the haberdasher
should not try to disappoint us?
This conforms with our ideas OF
progress. Progress, to our Ameri-
can thinking means bigger and big
ger. Bigger cities, bigger buildings,
bigger population, bigger millionaires
and shall the mind reverse itself
when it comes to prices?
This habit of mind could hardly
have been escaped in America. we
have been in a state of development
where growth in volume was the con-
spicuous phenomenon. This growth
underlies our feeling that prices must
grow like corn and trees. Our growth
in size has kept the price OF land
growing apace. Here in Nebraska
about the only investment we know Is
land, and we invest expecting 1t to
rise in price. The city where land
is not rising in price is dead. That Is
to say, not increasing in population.
In America population steadliy IN
creases. Hence the very fact that a
lot or an acre was worth $3.50 last
year is all the evidence we ask that
is worth 5000 now.
Since land is the greatest single
factor in our material existence IT Is
not strange that our idea OF land pri-
ces should affect our idea OF other
prices; that rising land should make
us expect rising living in general. NOR
to tell the truth is that connection
wholly mental. Rising land Is gen.
orally, in fact. linked to a real rise
in living much as effect is likened to
cause.

There are some interesting figures
supplied during the past twelve years
that are worth the attention of the
public at large. Speed has been
mania in the automobile business and
among car owners since it's inception
in this country.
Twelve years ago America had yet
to see its first automobile show, and
the man who seriously talked of the
automobile as a practical thing was
laughed at. Twelve years ago no one
could be made to believe that from
the freakish looking, badly designed
cars Guild be evolved the beautiful
creations of today with their luxur-
iousness, speed, power and easy and
safe control.

Twelve years ago fifteen miles an
hour was considered wonderful per-
formance, but today we have cars
that have averaged about 140 miles
an hour on the wave dashed Daytonia
beach course. Twelve years ago one
hardly dared to expect that an auto
mobile would cover a mile in min
ute but two miles a minute has been
accomplished.
So far as incomplete records show
there were only "a makers of motor
cars in America, including those in
ventors who had only turned out one
model Yet today there are some
thing like 500 makers-some good,
some bad.
