Craig News: Did you ever notice that

Omaha Bee and a standpat democrat by

Those Omaha folks are blamed hogs. any
how.
Galloway Queen: For number of
years the Omaha Commercial club has
been sending out weekly letters to the
news-press Of the state in order to gain
publicity for that city. The expense will
now be unnecessary, as the candidacy OF
walter A. George for governor will give
to omaha all the publicity It needs for
the next several months. We are all for
Walter A. George and omaha, anyway.

they get over in York county they meet

trigger as they are. The man shot yes

to rob the postoffice got a Christmas
package he wasn't expecting. He is the
second one TO meet this kind Of recep-
ton In the last month. Mr.. TRUMP Is
entitled TO a medal for his courage. They
are not many men who would go In
single handed and alone and attempt to
hold up three desperate characters bent
on robbing a postoffice. When two OF
these fellows showed their cowardice, Mr..
Trump did not know they had this yelio"
streak when he went into the fray.

Secretary OF War Garrison seems intently
bent on pressing his advantage In having the
support of an aroused public sentiment in favor
of preparation for defense. Il is but natural
that he should seize on the present as a time
especially appropriate for presenting his plans
in their best possible aspect. Yet his recent ut
terances are OF such character as show = ten
dency that frequently proves disastrous to speeu-
lators. He is making his case entirely too strong
In his latest statement. that Il would take three
years TO equip the United States army with the
guns needed for defense. he is guilty OF exaggera
ton, perhaps due to over-enthusiasm. II took
less than that many months for the factories of
