HOWARD NOT SATISFIED WITH SENATE
Lieutenant Governor Ktltfar Howard, down at Lincoln, voices Uic
sentiment of a large number of people over the state when he charge
that the Nebraska senate has not done its duty by the people during
the session about to close. During the last few days much progress
ive legislation, sent to the senate by the house of representatives, has
been killed with but little and scant consideration. The action of the
senate majority, in blocking the passage of the prohibition bill, is re
ceiving general condemnation over the state. The lieutenant gover
nor, in an editorial last week in the Columbus Telegram, entitled "A
Dying Legislature," says that the house has attempted to cany out
the will o f the people but that the senate has been successfully organ
ised to defeat every measure showing the least semblance of v. pro
gressive principle. The editorial in part is as follows:
A beautiful trait of the average man la to withhold from his speech
any unkind expression an to any person In the dying hours of that person.
But in the dying hours of this legialative session I dare not. even by alienee,
gloss over the unhappy fart that it is not dying In that good atmosphere
which I had ao fondly hoped It might inhale in ItB latent breath.
The theory upon which a legislature elected is that It will perforin
the will of the people of a state. I here testify that in the main the housy
of representatives has been responsive to the public will, and that -In nine
cases out of ten It has honestly tried to accomplish legislation along pro
KreBBlve lines. Hut the senate was organized by its reactionary majority,
and it is dying in the grasp of that same organization which thruout the
session has been able to murder every piece of legislation which contained
the shadow of the suspicion of progressive principle. I cannot understand
the situation. The reactionary majority numbers some very pleasing per
sonalities men who are erudite and honorable in all thoir private life, and
yet aa obedient to the general plans of the public-service corporations as
any child is obedient to mother.
In this unhappy hour I have neither the time nor the heart to write
much about the work of the session. But I promise to write many chap
ters on the subject during the next two yeurs, because I want to do my full
part In earnest effort to wreat the Nebraskiin senate from those speciul in
terest a which have so long controlled it. And the people of Nebraska must
m given to understand that there is absolutely no hope for progressive leg
trlatlon aa long aa their senate shall remain in charge of a splendidly or
ganised combination of seventeen men. banded together in every effort to
kill a progressive principle, or to carry comfort to u railroad lawyer, a tele
phone trusty, or an angel for the electricity trust. In future articles I shall
I al with the records made by every senator. I shall lay those records be
'I'Vf, ;. people of the respective senatorial districts. I shall not attack the
! rso.slily of any senator, but I shall make his public record ao plain to
hia home people that none may remain in doubt as to whether their senator
has served hia home people in the senate, or whether he has served th cor
poration. From many counties 1 have received in recent weeks a thousand in
quiries about the prospects for the adoption of the so-called "right-of-way"
i' 11. The bill Bought to compel a railroad company to make its right-of-way
uniform, and not have it 200 feet wide in some places. I hoped with
out hope that the senate might possibly pass this good bill, even by mis
take. It had passed the house by a large majority. But last Tuesday af
ternoon the senute killed tlie bill. I promiao now that in due time I shall
write the story of the murder. The story may be sorry reading to some
men who have claimed to be my near and dear friends. It will be written.
Nebraaka City, and the other two are
from Omaha.
The "wets" are now regretting
among themaelvea that they did not
pans the bill In Its original form, as
It came from the house. In their
attempts to ridicule the bill they had
pointed out several defects which the
conference committee Immediately
took advantage of and remedied,
thereby making the bill stronger and
I more workable than It had been In
'Its original form. The ninety-four
members who answered roll call this
morning were jubilant over the vic
tory won by their firmness and re
fusal to be acared Into accepting
amendmenta which would have
thrown open the state to the "near
beer" manufacturer and the boot
legger. In order to show the people of the
state to whom the credit should go
for the passage of the dry law, the
following statement was issued yes
terday afternoon by the state dry
leaders: "Now that the prohibitory bill.
House Roll 793, has passed the house
and senate, amended in accordance
with the majority report made by
the conference committee, we con
sider It only fair to say in view of
the explanations of the votes by cer
tain senators:
"That the bill as originally passed
by the house was a comprehensive
and workable law and if the senate
had been willing to pass it In that
form it would have successfully car
ried the prohibitory amendment into
effect. We favored and indorsed the
original bill as it came from the
house, and we now give our unquali
fied indorsement to the bill as Anally
passed. Our Judgment is that the
house members conceded nothing
which tended to weaken the bill, but
secured amendments which material
ly strengthened it.
"The final passage of a good,
strong prohibitory bill is due very
largely to the firm stand of the house
and the dry members of the senate
and in our judgment the victory Is
not due to the senators who voted
against the house bill and for some
thing like a hundred amendments,
which would have made the law a
farce, and who upon the final pass
age of the measure are seeking to
take credit for the improvements in
the bill, as evidenced by the expla
nation of their votes. Much credit
is also due to the people throughout
the state who have petitioned the
members of the legislature to carry
the will of the people Into effect."

PROHIBITION BILL PASSED
to the original dry bill. The "wets"
had learned that the house members
were strengthening polntB which had
been found to be weak in the orig
inal bill and that it was a much more
workable and stronger bill than it
had been originally.
The aenatora who voted for the
minority report first, in the hope that
it could be accepted and thereby
avoid some of the more stringent fea
tures which the house had added by
the committee report, were Senators
Adams, Burhman, Doty, Henry, Lah
ners, Samuelson, Soost. Splrk, Tan
ner and Wilson of Frontier.
The final vote was on the adoption
of the report accepted by the bouse,
signed by Senator Robertson and
Representatives Norton, Thomas and
Plansburg. The "wets" jumped in
to the bandwagon with the "drys"
and only three had nerve enough to
vote againBt the report MatteB. Mo

The sixth community concert will
be held Sunday afternoon at the
Phelan opera house start Ine at 2 an
o'clock. Another excpntinnnllv flno !
program has been planned and it 1b
expected that the attendance will be
fully as large as at the laBt concert,
held on the afternoon of Easter day.
The crowd at that completely filled
the opera houae and many were
standing.
There is a movement on foot to
perfect an organisation of some sort
which will be directly responsible for
these concerts. The present arrange
ment is entirely satisfactory but
there aeems to be a desire to con
tinue the concerts during the sum
mer months. There is a certain ex
pense that must be met each time for
hall rent. etc. Thla must be paid If
the concerts are to be held In the op
era house. There has been some
talk of holding the concerts at the
fair grounds this summer with a
band concert as an extra inducement.
A3 yet no plans have been made. A
short business meeting will be held
at the close of Sunday's concert,
when these matters will be taken up
