Just to show that the Register and

orally are not sincere in the reasons
given for their opposition to w. l..
Harding for governor pains have
been taken to look up the temper
ance record of Warren Garst while
in the state senate. The Register
and Leader and the Des Moines gang
have always supported Mr.. Garst and
he is now working in unison with
them for the success of the demo-
cratic candidate for governor. Yet
Mr. Garst's temperance record as a
legislator is not more satisfactory
than that of Harding. Thinking
people of the state who were at first
deceived by the methods of the OPP
ponents of Harding are now seeing
through the gauze of deception and
are realizing that it is not the tenn

affairs and early took decided stand

OVER 500 TO THE ACRE.

Lincoln journal: On five acres OF
ground, Ralph Ellison, Nuckolls
county farmer, this year raised 367
bushels of sixty pound wheat, rate
of seventythree and one-half bush
els per acre. He marketed this
crop for $520.S2, being a trifle over
$104.16 per acre. This is the re-
cord for Nuckolls county and per-
haps the state.
When a great man, great of life
and soul, rockets his way across the
armament we are rejoiced. We may
have no hope of being like him, but
we are encouraged by the possibili-
ties in human development which
he illustrates. If we reap hope from
prophetic men, why not from pro-
phetic acres?

as a receipt for seventy-three bu-

merely an interesting and more or
less significant set of surrounding
facts. We may all learn, finally,
however, how to grow seventy-three
bushels of wheat on an acre of
ground. Last years wheat crop
represented an average yield of only
seventeen bushels per acre, less
than one-fourth this Nuckolls coun-

session will exceed those of the last
session by s515, 100000 and those of

s150,O00,O00 attributable to Demo-

protest against the inclusion in these

Exports from Canada to the Unit
cd States during our fiscal year 1916,
were 2S per cent greater than for
1915, and 20 per cent greater than
during the last fiscal year under the
republican tariff law, 1913, notwith.
standing the fact that Canada's ex.
ports to Great Britain during the
Canadian fiscal year 1866 were
more than double those of the two
previous fiscal years. For the II
months ended last June the Domin-
ion of Canada got into our market
for 100000 worth of her pro-
ducts, or at the rate of $17,000,00
monthly. For the same period 1915.
we imported from Canada $159,570,-
900 worth of goods. and for 1913,
s120,57O,OOO worth. The Canadian
Department of Trade and Commerce
reports that the total exports OF
Canada to Great Britain for the Ca
madam fiscal year 1876 were val
ued at s452, 100000, compared with
s1S7, 100000 the year before. In
addition to all this, Canada has con-
tributed a generous sum to the en-
penses of the European war and in
the upkeep of her fighting machine
now battling for England. Had 1t
not been for the war what would
have prevented her from exporting
still greater volume of her products
to the United States, with the as
sistance of a tariff for revenue only ?

Explaining his opposition to the bill
at the last session of congress, Sena-
tor Bankhead said:
~ believed then, and believe now,
that if that bill had become law
and these Gnterned) vessels had
been purchased by the United States
and put under our flag, and engaged
in commerce. between this and for
eign countries, war would have been
the inevitable result, or such strain
ed relations between this govern
ment and the allies, as would have
absolutely demoralized and Destroy
ed our foreign commerce.
Senator Bankhead was absolutely
right. Who, then, was it that kept
us out of war;" Woodrow Wilson
was bending every energy in his
power to force through congress the
shipping bill. The passage of that
bill was defeated by the republican
members, aided by Senator Bank
head and six other democrats. 1t
was the level-headed republican
minority and such independent dem
ocrats as Bankhead who prevented
that folly.

Judge Hughes is. being condemned
by the democratic press for saying
that when he was on the supreme
bench he was 100 per cent judge and
that when president he will be 100
per cent president. The democrats
try to twist this into a revelation of
swell head, but the judge meant that
when he was on the bench he devot-
ed his entire time to the job and
when he is president he will give
the Office all that is in him. His
record in official position proves that
he will do Just as he says.
