SYRUP OF FIGS FOR A CA|LD'S BOWELS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a
 sick child.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children It's different Mothers who cling to the old form Of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- cd. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach. liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs Its action is positive, but gentle Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves . sick child tomor- row..

Il It .iPolitical Demise"

We stated editorially in our issue of May 20
: that one reason for the political demise OF
William Jennings Bryan is that by his own adj
mission, he has not added anything of moral
principle to his character since he was twenty
one.-Collier's Weekly.
Yes. but has he suffered political demise" this
time any more than on the several previous occa-
sions when his political obituary was writtenf
That remains to be seen and will have its answer
in large measure in the outcome Of the impend-
ing presidential campaign. Suppose Woodrow
Wilson is as badly beaten as was Alton B, Parker,
but with no possibility Of blaming Bryan or hold
ing him to account for lukewarm supportf Sup
pose Bryan's enemies who captured nominations
on the democratic ticket in his home state Of Ne
braska by assailing and excoriating him are
smashed to smithereens under the fire Of adverse
votes? To whom then would the democrats have
to turn for leadership to rescue them from the
slough Of despond il not to Bryant Bryan looked
deader politically in 1904 than he does today and
yet in 1908 was. renominated by acclamaton for
third run for the presidency as the democratic
standard-bearer. The whirligig Of American poll
tics has turned many sharp corners and may turn
another one before Bryan is permanently demised.

Posies From the Garden

Tecumseh Chieftan A great deal of credit for
the altogether satisfying nomination OF Charles
E. Hughes as the republican candidate tor the
presidency should be given to Victor Rosewater,
members For many months Mr.. Rosewater was
an ardent supporter OF the New York jurist, using
the space Of his paper almost without limit, be-
sides engaging in the work in other ways In
the nominating ballot the Nebraska delegates
were all for Hughes putting this state right in
line for sharing of the honors.
Columbus Telegram Edgar Howard: Vic
tor Rosewater leans to the belief that all the
complimentary words written by democratic edi-
tors about his part in carrying the Hughes pro-
gram to success were intended to breed dissen-
sion in the republican ranks in Nebraska. /
don't know how it may be with other democratic
writers, but in my own case ! want the young
man to understand that my words OF compliment
were purely personal. And again ! repeat that
in all the history OF Nebraska politics it is not
recorded that any individual ever made an up
hill fight as successfully as Victor Rosewater
made in behalf of Hughes in Nebraska If Victor
does not care to keep the prize he won at such
great risk, then he may do what he may please
with it. But still the fact will remain that Hughes
would have remained in the Estabrook class in
Nebraska but for the leadership of Victor Rose
water. .-'.r
Norfolk News: Vic Rosewater made such
good press correspondent Tor the W. g. c. O. our
ing the republican convention that we've notion
to give him regular job
Plattsmouth Journal (Dem.): Victor Rose
water thinks he is in the republican saddle" in
Nebraska but just wait until the campaign gets
we'll under way and he will find himself occupy
ing back seat Really, the leading republicans
have but little use for Rosewater.
Blair Enterprise: Vic Rosewater Of the
Omaha Bee will be justified in displaying a
chestiness over the nomination of Hughes. Vic
steered the Nebraska delegation right into the
bandwagon early in the game.
Hastings Tribune: The Omaha Nebraskan,
which is strong democratic journal and is edited
by Richard L. Metcalfe, gives Victor Rosewater,
the talented editor OF The Omaha Bee, full credit
for the good work done for Hughes in Nebraska.
That is what we would call giving credit to whom
credit is due.
York Democrat: DR.. Victor Rosewater has
every reason to puff out his chest and walk
lightly. Didn't DR.. Rosewater tell 'em all the

weakness Of Our National Defense.

Whatever else may be developed as a result
Of the call to arms for the National Guard, the
country is being given an impressive object les
son Of the ineficiency Of our military prepara-
tions. This is not set down for the purpose Of
crticising the officers and men Of the National
Guard, who are earnest, sincere, and deserve only
credit for the great sacrifices they have made to
preserve even semblance Of military organiza-
ton. It does expose, however, the failacy on
which the sense Of national security has rested.
For many years. ever since the Spanish war, in
fact, students Of the military problem of the
United States have urged that more attention be
paid to the National Guard, since 1t was to be
depended upon as factor in the first line for
defense. These appeals have gone unheeded The
Guard has been neglected, or compelled to exist
on the most seanty Of accommodations, and that
it has any organization or serviceabity at all is
because Of the enthusiasm Of the young men who
have gone into it and given their time and energy
under most discouraging conditions. The plain
lesson is that II we are to rely upon the National
Guard in time Of need we must make better pro-
visions for its support in time of peace.

Roosevelt Out Squarely for Hughes.

The letter of Colonel Roosevelt to the pro-
gressive national committee, formally declining
the nomination for president, is not that OF a
disgruntled leader, but is the utterance OF an
earnest patriot, who seeks his counuys good.
The colonel frankly and fully discusses the situa-
ton in all its bearings and, laying stress on the
purposes of the progressive party, writes:
Il do not believe there should be a third
ticket believe that when my fellow progress
sves coolly consider the question, they will
for the most part, take this position. They and
have but one purpose-the purpose to serve
our common country. 1t is my deep conviction
that at this moment we can serve 1t only by
supporting Mr.. Hughes"
Answering the argument of some Of the pro-
gressves, based on the action of the Chicago con-
vention, Colonel Roosevelt writes
AS regards this point, it is sufficient to say
that the members Of the republican convention
were unquestonably induced to nominate Mr..
Hughes primarily because of the belief that his
integrity and force of character, and his long
record Of admirable public service would make
him peculiarly acceptable, not only to the rank
and file of the republican party, but to the
people generally"
This language admits Of but one Interpretation.
Colonel Roosevelt sees in Mr.. Hughes all the
qualities the progressives sought in leader, and
finds in the platform promise Of success for the
party's ideals. He therefore urges all the pro-
gressives to get in line and give whole-hearted
support to Hughes. His criticism Of the Wilson
administration is sharp but is a deserved ar
raignment Of the presidents policy because of its
failures and its shortcomings, its temporizing and
avoidance Of issues
The letter is as clear a call to arms as ever
the colonel sounded, and the bull moose should
follow their leader into the new campaign full oi
enthusiasm and willingness to meet the new
condition, the success Of which is so vital to the
country's future

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

We might have done it better two or three
short years ago.
We might have settled peacefully the row
in Mexico:
We saw the smoke arising and we knew the
fire was there
And we merely let 1t shoulder Just as
though we didn't care.
We did a lot of talking and we stood
around like goops. .,.
And In consequence this morning we are
calling out the troops.
oh, / know it's vain and idle when the
milk Is on the floor
To utter lamentations and to stand about
and roar; " q
And I know when troubles present that
its useless and absurd q.
To spend your time in wailing that II
shouldn't have occurred:
But we've lived In SNUG contentment ana
we've stood about In groups
Thinking this would never happen. Now
we're calling out the troops.
Now, we're turning, in our danger. to our
brave young men and fne
And we're sending them this minute to the
deadly border line.
And we know they'll do their duty. and
we know their hearts are true
And we know they'll never falter In the
work they have to do
But somehow l can't help thinking. and
my spirit sadly droops.
That we should have solved the question
without calling out the, troops.

Democracy in the Army.

One Of the Feature" stories coming up from
the camp at Lincoln is to the effect that recruit
asked Governor Morehead to mail letter for
him, and the governor did as requested. Why
shouldn't hef They are both citizens Of the same
country, and equal under the law. Official posi-
ton makes only an artificial and temporary dis
tinction, while an act Of courtesy is always in
order. This is the quality that has distinguished
service In the American army at all times. It
has been extensively commented upon by mill
tary critics Of all countries. During the war of
1898 the European experts attached to the United
States army were especially struck at what to
them seemed lack Of discipline manifest around
the camps. One British officer expressed aston
ishment that group Of troopers did not spring
to their feet and come to attention when an
officer passed, but admitted that the men were
the most magnificent soldiers he had ever seen.
This quality Of democracy is at once the pride
and despair of the scientific warrior but it is the
thing that makes the American soldier the most
efficient and dependable the world has ever
known.
