They Are Coming Back.
SOUTH OMAHA, nov. 1910 the Ed
tor Of The Bee: Tho returns for Douglas
county and for the state OF Nebraska
show that " the people calling them
selves progressives had not placed a
ticket ir the field this year. that we
would have elected every member OF the
legislature from Douglas county and
that we would have elected every state
officer below governor.
Several OF the leading progressives have
told me since the election that they are
tired ~ acting as assistant democrats
and that they will be back with the re
publican party in 1915. IL the progress
sives had gone into the republican pri-
maries this year In this county Il is more
than likely that they would have secured
a share OF the candidates for the legis-
lature end I'm that way they would have
gained as well as tho republican ticket
But this election shows them that they
are simply assisting the democratic party
to win when the majority OF the people
Of the country are opposed TO democratic
policies.
As have predicted number Of times
since the election of Mr.. Wilson in 1912
the republican party will come back in
1916 and win the presidency. Hon
Ross Hammond of Fremont wrote me
few days ago that one more victory for
the democrats like the one they claim TO
have won on the third day Of November
and they are done for.
Most OF the progressives are high class
people and the republican party well
comes them back with open arms

OMAHA. Nov. 2O.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: Our liquor friends are in trouble.
When they begin to fight the supreme
court Of the United states they have
rather big job on hand. We are evi.
IDENTIFY going to have quite a good deal
OF discussion OF prohibition in the next
two years, and should not have mixed
In Il so early had Mr. Meyers tirst let
ter not been too severe In its charges OF
immortality and general "oussedness' on
the part Of prohibitionists. Since l, for
one, practice what ! preach. and don't
know the taste OF either wine or lager
beer, may venture TO say what he would
not patiently accept from those who US,
liquor and vote for prohibition. But the
theory does not fit with practical condi-
tions. Many own land who vote for
single tax, and Louis +. Post justifies
them on the plea that the immortality
is institutional. not individual" A big
question is opened up by saying that a
man should not vote for the abolition OF
, slavery as long as Ne GYMS slaves.
II prohibition makes weaklings. the ten
commandments and the sermon on the
mount must have been given under a
wrong impression. Law is not only a
creature OF public sentiment. but a
creator OF Il. Prohibition OF certain
things makes strength.
An acre q statistics is not required
with the liquor business any more than

TT Is generally agreed by doctors tnat ,he
primary trouble with the health of wo-
- men and young girls is that they are
careless of the condition of the bowels There
is nothing so important in this regard as
habit and system The growing girl should
be especially looked after. Girls and women
of all ages will find that by regulating them
seleves they can avoid the free use of cos
metics and such things, and that obesity lie
reduced by bowel elimination and weight in
creased by proper assimilation.
The right laxative for women. as it is for
children and old folks, who should not use
harsh pills, salts and other strong cathartics,
is that gentle and mild laxative-tonc, DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t acts on the pTin-
cple that by gently regulating the bowels
the digestive muscles will soon again be
trained to do their work naturally and unaid-

and 1t has been the standard in good Amer

Robson of sos Trombley St., FIT. Worth Tex,
says she will never be without DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. She uses 1t herself and gives
it to her little girl, and believes she will not
need the doctor so often now. Mrs. T. Blue,

No Politics in HOnoring the President

The Lincoln Star thinks The Bee. in urging
an invitation to President Wilson to stop at
Omaha on his return trip from San Francisco, is
"forestalling any paper that may be in sympathy
with the national administration" and being in
sympathy with the national administration, the
Star wants the invitation TO give preference to
Lincoln as the Nebraska stopping place. Let us
assure the Star, and others interested, that with
The Bee it is not question of sympathy or pol
ities. but Of courtesy and respect for whomsoever
occupies the high office OF chief magistrate Of
the nation. In honoring the president. political
lines are effaced.

OSCEoLA, Neb., Nov. 20-To the Editor
OF The Bee: After a somewhat careful

the only thing necessary to do is to nom
mate men for office that can get the
republican vote on election day.

primary election to select a man for the
United States senate to defeat Hitchcock.

Congressman Charles II. Sloan of Geneva.

forceful and has a record in congress for
representing his district that any repub-
lican can be proud OF. A good debater, a
fine speaker and lin the prime of life,

Mr.. Llman Abbott in beginning his
"reminiscences, says he was born in
Boston and adds: "He VINO is born
in Boston never gets over it," That
certainly is true, the man who is
born in Boston, down deep, believes
that only blue blood warns his veins,
and though when educated he meets
his fellow man as an equal, at the
same moment, nurses an inner
chuckle that he can so disguise his
real superiority that a stranger does
not know that he entertains any
yelled consciousness Of its perpetual
presence. And we do not blame him,
for a real Boston gentleman is a
gentleman clear through, and when
he reads over the names of the men
and women who have made Boston
famous, he has a right to think If
not to say eff Greece was nothing
outside of Athens, what would the
United States be with Boston left

DAIRY FARMING IN EUROPE
Much Attention lie Paid to Artistic Ap

In many sections Of Europe where
dairying is carried on extensively the
greater part of the land is owned by
men who care quite as much for
beauty as for profit, in consequence Of
which great attention is paid to the
artistic appearance Of the farms, and
much pride is taken in keeping every
thing neat and orderly. No fence
corners or hedge rows are left to
grow up with weeds, no machinery is
allowed to stand in the fields. There
is network of winding macadamized
roads lined on both sides with hedges
and trees, and leading through the
fields in every direction are footpaths
The heather-covered hills, vine-clad
cottages and fine cattle dotting the
meadows make beautiful picture

HAUL THE MANURE AND SPREAD
1T NOW

Of all the year now is the best
time to return as manure part of
the fertility that has been taken from
the soil the past year or years. The
ground is frozen so that you can get
upon it with load and this is a sea-
son when the farm hands and the
teams and not needed for other farm
work. If you have grass land which
you expect to break after the next
crop of hay that is good place to put
the manure. Orchard lands will do
better, too with good coat of ma
nure now but it should not be put
close to the trunk of the trees for
home for injurious insects. A light
surface dressing of eight to ten loads
of manure per acre will increase the
yield of grain next year if applied
properly. For this fine manure
should be chosen and scattered uni
formly so that no Jumps will form to
burn the small grain plants. If there
is no other place to put the manure
put it on the fallow land and you will
be amply paid for your trouble in the
next crop you raise there. In regions
where moisture is likely to be low
any year it is not safe practice to
pillow manure under soil that is to be
