Burr, Vlca Pres ident, t- - 1 ) Candidate John Morch nd Isn't the pink of manly beauty or the epitome oi puman wisnom, nor doea ne claim to be. He doesn't handle the Eng llah language as well aa the average college profewjor. In these things he la much like the rest of us. How ever, from this distance we fail to perceive any scars on the noble brow f Governor McKelvIe, caused by wearing of a laurel wreath. There Isn't any question but that better men than either of these candidates reside In the state, but they wouldn't take the governorship as a gift. Vot ers are compelled, under the primary ystem, to choose their candidates from among those who file for the place, and the best men do not need to seek political offices of this size. Aa between Morehead and McKelvIe, The Herald unhesitatingly chooses the former. The Infamous code bill, by means of which $2,000 clerks were advanced to $5,000 positions, and the expense of state government Increased without compensating In crease In efficiency, was forced through the legislature and crammed down the throats of Nebraska tax payers, who were denied even the opportunity of a referendum upon It. Even were the code bill what Us maker claimed, the method of secur ing Us passage should disgust every voter who believes In the principles f a democratic government. MOOXSIIIXK The clnM In apologetics Is still in senalon. The subject under discus sion Is the fifteen-gallon keg of homemade hootrh that 8am Melick delivered to Thil Dross, republican -.(n e secretary of flnanre. (Phil Is the man who made up the budget under the code bill. He estimated the expennes about a quarter of a million- too high. otd whtn tATs money was appropriated and not ppent, claimed credit for saving II.) The democrats have been very klnu to the republicans concerning the In cident, but the latter are worried about it They realize that an ex- j planation Is due, and when the demo crats fall to demand It, give it any way. Not only that, but when the explanations do not read exactly right in print, some republican scribe thinks of another one. To date there have been half a dozen apologies lor the incltitnt devised, and no two of them have b"en ol ke. pnd not. one of them has' had the right ring to It. Affidavits were submitted showing that S. M. Melick, former sheriff of Lancaster county, former chief of po lice of Lincoln, and until last sum mer an agent of the law enforcement division of the state, left a fifteen gallon keg of whisky siezed in the Langley raid at the home of Phil Dross, former private secretary to Govenfor McKelvIe and now head of the department of finance. Mr. Dross said that It was left at his house, but that the-next day he turned It over to Gus Hyers, state agent for law en forcement. He Bald also that it was of very poor quality, unfit for drink ing purposes, and intimated that he had figured on using It as a liniment for the rheumatism of a female rela tive, the stuff, despite Its vile taste (Phil must have tasted it) being val uable as a liniment because of its high alcoholic content. He didn't explain why, having decided at first to use it as a liniment, he then turrted it over to Mr. Hyers after only a day's trial. The State Journal, feeling, that perhaps this explanation doesn't ex plain, then took a hand.

(fix l iorides," this newspaper ponderous ly states, "that liquor taken In prohi bition raids shall be placed In the custody of the officers. It Is clfhr that some more definite provision should be made for keeping liquor when It Is wanted as evidence and for disposing of It finally, after It Is no longer needed for that purpose. There is nothing illegal In the cart ing of a keg of moonshine whisky by one law officer to the home of an other law enforcement officer of the state. The fact that it was turned over to Mr. Hyers on the following day Is reassuring." It would have been reassuring, had not Mr. Dross made mention of the value of the stuff as a, liniment, and of its vile taste, which unfitted It for beverage purposes. Theses re marks show that the keg was not Intended to remain simply over night. Of course there is nothing il legal about it both of them were law officers, but to the average man, or woman, voter, the second explana tion is as laborious and strained as the first. Other explanations are Just as far fetched, but someone occasionally thinks of a new angle to explain the matter and rushes into print with it. We are told that the charge 1b silly, because If Phil Dross wanted whisky he would have got good stuff Instead of moonshine. We are told by an other that It's all campaign bunk. Our advise to our republican breth ;en is to let well enough alone, and if the democrats do not take it up, to let It die. The democrats are re markably charitable, it seems to us. The pacing work proceeds In fair ly rapid fashion, although brick are not ccrLlng in as fast as formerly. If fie good weather keeps up Just a week or two, the Alliance paving will be completed before the snow flies. Already the contractors are planning to finish up this year, even if they have to wait until the first snow flurries melt, but present pros pects are so rosy that the first of November -is set as a tentative date for the completion of the contract,' Remember the dates of the Catho lic ladies' bazaar at the Hoof (Jar den, Oct. 23 and 26. Dancing. 08 At- a meeting of the directors of the chamber of commerce, held this noo nat the Alliance hotel, the chief item of business was the appoint ment of a committee to secure a room and make other arrangements for a weekly luncheon of members and directors. A greater effort will be made to interest the lay member ship of the organization, and these weekly luncheons, it Is believed, Will be one step In the. right direction. September 30 has been set as tho day for the hearing on a petition asking the appointment of a guard ian for Alfred Vaughn, bachelor farmer living near Hemingford, who attempted suicide some weeks ago. George Gadsby, ChesteV Rodgers and John Snyder are among the Alli ance men in attendance at the state Odd Fellows convention now In ses sion at Hastings. They left Sun Jay night. County Judge Tash has set No vember 11 as the day for a hearing in probating the will of Clyde Lar. am, at which an administrator will be uppointed. Orvil Duck is spending a few days in Alliance visiting friends. Hell! You sometimes hear, "It's cold as hell," 'Tts often said, "It's hot as hell"; When rain pours down, "It's hell," they cry; It's also "Hell" when it is dry; "We hate like hell" to see it snow, "It's a hell of a wind" when It starts to blow Now, how in the "hell" can a person tell Just what Is meant by this word "hell"? That married life is "hell" they say; When you come home late there is "hell to pay" "Hell, yes," "hell, no," and "The hell you do." "The hell you don't;" and "to hell with you" And "what In the hell" and "the hell U Is!" And "To hell with that." and "To hell with this." And ".Who in Hell?" and "Oh. hell, wnere " And "what In hell do you think I care?" The "hell of iris," and "It sure Is Hell" And Btill we don't know what In hell is hell. L. A.
