THE DOG POISONER.

There may be man lower than the man who
deliberately spreads poison for dogs. We say there
may be man lower, but it is extremely doubtful.
1t is to be hoped there none, for has fallen
pretty low when he sneaks around in the Silly
watches of the night to spread poison for the purpose
of venting his spleen against dogs dog owners.
1t is true that dogs often nuisance, but
there are legal methods of abating them. The man
who would sneakngly poison dogs, matter how
much he may hate them, was probably the boy who
pulled the wings from side of fly and then
chortled with glee while watching the insects agon
lied gyrations More than likely he is the school
bully who delighted in making life miserable for
smaller boys and girls. study of his life would
probably reveal the fact that his boyish delight
to cripple cattle whip the horses to frenzy, tie tin
cans to dogs tails and do other little things of like
nature. HI was moron boy, he is a moron
The dog posoner is the kind of fellow who
would taunt the cripple and experience delight in
watching for the victim of epileptic fit. How
funny it must be for such to sneak back to his
room after spreading lot of dog poison and gloat
over the paroxysms Of the canine playfeow of
some little boy girl. How his sides must shake
with laughter when he contemplates the tears
streaming down the cheeks of some little boy who
watches the dying agonies of his dog.
It is not for to discuss whether there is or is
not hell. That is question each individual must
decide for himself. But will be generally agreed
that if there isn't such a place for dog poisoners
there really should be.

that occurred here in Nebraska dur

sound money platform based on the

The progressive party named the

platform intended TO remove the gold

IF MAINE, WHY NOT NEBRASKA?

The Maine legislature has just passed and Gov
ernor Brewster has signed the socaed Maine pub
lcity BILL 1t appropriates $25 900 annually for the
next two years for advertising the Of the
state.
If Maine, why not Nebraska? Nine years ago
the Nebraska legislature made appropriation of
s12 500 for the bennium to advertise the
cf the state but before the department could be-
come properly organized the country became in
voved in the World War The entire appropriation
was not expended and the department was discon-
tnued There never a time when state pub
lcity department needed, or when such
department properly conducted could accomplish so
much for the development of the state. Recently
number of Nebraska daily newspapers naugurated
a campaign for publicity for their state, and it has
performed splendid work for them and for the
commonwealth But there is reason why the
daily newspapers, any other single industry,
should be called upon to defray the expenses of
campaign that is beneficial to every industry within
commonwealth.
Maine has less than half the Of Nebraska,
only two-ffths as much taxable wealth. less than
one-tenth the annual wealth production, only one
city the size of Lincoln and five cities that equal
Omaha in population. Maine has not one one-hun-
dredth the development possibilities possessed by
Nebraska. II Nebraska appropriated $4,000 bien-
mum for advertising the and advantages Of
Nebraska it would mean less than one cent per cap
ta per year. What It would mean in advantages to
the commonwealth at large is beyond computation.

THE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.

Franklin d. Roosevelt, who mismanaged Gov
ernor AL Smiths campaign for the democratic presi-
Dental nomna alton, want. to formulate plans for
the perhaps resurrection would be the
better word-of the democratic party. One can but
admire the courage of Mr.. Roosevelt, however little
one may think Of his Judgment. Formulating plans
Tor, welding the discordant elements Of the demo-
cratic party into homogeneous whole Is easy COM
cared with the task of actually doing the welding.
One such plan failed when Davis selected rs
the head Of the ticket and Bryan the tail When
democratic doctors like W. J. Bryan and Senator
James Reed sit on one side of the ang patients
bed and doctors like Governor AL Smith and Sem
aor Mayfed sit upon the other the chances for the
patients recovery are exceedingly slim.
"By adhering to principles rather than personali-
ties for the next three years, shall go far to-
wards success" says Mr. Roosevelt
Aye, there's the rubl
Who among the democratic leaders will be com
issioned to select the principles out of the amazing
mess Of alleged democratic principles advanced by
democratic leaders In recent years? Will it be pos

The old recipe for cooking yabbt might apply

Mr. Roosevelt's suggestion that the party's lead

national appreciation. 1t would add greatly to the
gaety of the nation. But wouldn't it be about as
tough the aforesaid leaders the recent demo-
cratic national convention the delegates?
Imagine, If you can, the results of conference
between the Bryans Al Smith, Underwood, Reed,
Harrison, Hehn, Taggart, Connors, Mack, Ryan,
Wheeler, and other democratic leaders. Donnybrook
fair would be a Sunday school picnic by comparison.
And that, gentle reader, is what's the matter
with the once powerful democratic party. Too many
leaders and not enough followers Too many policies
and not enough principles.

Omaha Where the Uest is at its Best
THAT'S WHAT SPRING IS FOR.

Almost two weeks yet remain before .'the sun
crosses the line and astronomical spring begins.
Mans thought eagerly outruns the almanac, and
spring has already come to Omaha. If you have any
doubt to the truth of this statement, just
along the streets through the retail district, and
view the window displays
To call them gorgeous, to say they are artistic,
to praise their arrangement, is cheap. What they
reaily present is high tribute to the zeal, the
ergy, the enterprise of Omaha merchants. The
Oriental merchant keeps the treasures of his stock
farout of sight of the curious displaying them only
to those he feels assured have the and the de-
sire to purchase. That is probably due to the work
ines of the eastern mind. In the Occident a diff
ferent spirit prevails. Merchants of the West set
forth for public view the richest of their wares. In
opulent display they invite the observer to become
customer.
One gifted with exact knowledge of the fabrics
might find scope for his best talent in dealing with
the showing now being made in the show windows
Of Omaha An ordinary observer must be content to
exptess regret that he is not slim young thing that
some one of the tempting creations might be donned
to enhance the charms of nature. Yet hope and sue
cor is held out for those whom age or too as
sduous devotion to the good things of life whose in
dulgence is fatal to the svelte and dainty figure so
much desired. These can find rament, appropriate
and costly as the purse will pay for, and be delighted
in the result.
Marves of the modern loom and dye vat are

Windows" indeed are those that line the downtown
thoroughfares of Omaha. 1t is such exhibition as
must impress even the most casual with the import
ance of the retail stores of the town. 1t is the well

time when 'the wanton lapwing takes himself
