The legislature of the state of New
York has passed a law forbidding
the sale of bird feathers for hats.
This is done to protect the birds from
wholesale slaughter for trimming pur
poses.
The new congressman from the 14th

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
been criticized considerably by those
who arc in the habit of knocking on
everything they don't like and espec
ially everything in connection with
tl,. nrpMpnt, administration, because
of the deficit in the postoflicc depart
ment. However Mr. Hitchcock has
attended strictly to business, notwitb
Btapdine the knocking and as a re
suit is able to aimouncc that the
deficit of $17,000,000 of last year is
rapidly disappearing.
The Keurney Weekly Times has
solved the capital removal question
It Bavs that the capital should be re
moved because the present building
is liable to fall down and a new one
will have to be built and therefore it
would be best to build it somewhere
else. Then again the present buil
inn could be used for the state uni
versitv and save the state from
making any more appropriations. Ae
cording to the Times if the building
was used as a state university building
it wouldn't fall down, but if used as
a capital building it would.
Mavor Dahlman in addition to
anting to move the capital from
incoln now wants to move the
penitentiary also. Lincoln could well
spare the penitentiary and it might
be quite a saving in mileage for Doug-
as county to move the pen to Omaha.
The Cass County Editorial Asso
ciation which held its session here
yesterday was a very successful gath
ering. The presence of President
Ludi of the State Press Association
was much appreciated by the boys
and his talk during the business scs
sion was one that will be remembered
with a great dorJ of credit to those
who heard him. The banquet in tin
evening tendered the association by
the Plattsmouth Commercial club
was appreciated by the members of
the press gang and the editor of this
paper as president of the association
desires to express to the club its sin
cere appreciation. The boys went
ionic feeling that the commercial
club of Plattsmouth was composed of
a bunch of live bboosters.
Tomorrow is editors day in Platts
mouth and the town will be full of
them. A few years ago such a dec
laration would be sufficient notice to
the people to lock their chicken houses
and put an extra bull dog in the bac
yard. But times have changed. The
average editor, and especially the Cass
county native is prosperous enoug
now to have beef steak once a day am
yellow leg chicken on Sunday and can
walk up to the butcher man and lay
down tlie coin if it does cost twice
ns much as it did a few years ago when
meat and chickens were plenty and
cord wood and turnips were taken on
subscription. Chickens were also ta
ken on subscription, but the editor
had to go and get them and then burn
the feathers.
Omaha and a few other towns which
have newspapers which howl for per
sonal liberty, take great delight in
poking it into Lincoln because the ex
cise board has repealed a law down
there which prohibited the saloon
keepers of Havelock from doing a
land oflicc business with the dry city
close by them. The Bee says in sar
casm: "Does prohibition prohibit?
Of course it does. If you don't be
lieve it. Look at Lincoln." The
City of Lincoln has never 6bjected to
any resident of Lincoln drinking the
stuff if he wants it. But it does ob
ject to him making a blamed fool of
himself and a general nuisance to
the community. If a man wants to
keep it for himself, he can do so, but
he shall not make somebody's else
life miserable.
WHY HAVELOCK WENT DEY.
There are two primal causes why
Havelock returned such a stiff ma
jority for a dry town. One is the un
certainty of how Lincoln will go, but
the greater was the disgusting scenes
witnessed on the Lincoln cars during
the past years. Gangs of degenerate
individuals, wholly devoid of a sense
of decency or shame, came from the
capitol, threw countless slugs of every
thing from alcohol to soda water into
their capacious stomachs and then
boarded a ear for the return trip, in
many cases before the liquid had
begun to get in its work. The motion
of the car would churn these mixtures
into a lifesized and hilarious drunk
before the second tin of the orad
of which there are some seventeen
was reached. These cars were so
numerous, especially in the afternoon
and evening that it was impossible
for a lady bound for Lincoln to get
beyond the range of the low behavior
and vile language of these semi-human
swine, if, indeed she escaped without
direct insult. It was to stop the visits
of these degenerates and to save moth
ers daughters, sisters and wives from
the insults that Havelock men to reg
ister such a stern protest last Tuesday
Many were so disgusted with the con
condition that existed on the cars
that they voted dry who under or
dinary circumstances would have fa
vored the saloon. Havdock Times.
With Havelock and Lincoln dry
Crete is the nearest wet relief for the
burning stomachs of the poor de
bauched inebriate specimens of hu
manity, who have lost both means aiu
manhood through the excessive use
of liquor. It will hardly be safe for
women to go to Lincoln after May
15. It may be of some advantage
to out saloon keepers, but is sure
to bring about a radical change in
the minds of our voters. They wil
not stand for the conditions which
lave existed in Havelock, Dewitt
and others near dry towns. Crtle
Democrul.
ced upon our attention, when last
evening a report was circulated that
two ungainly brutes of the dog variety
became involved in a combat in the
postoffice lobby, at a time when the
patrons of the postoffice were getting
the evening mail. The result being
that in the melee a little child which
was with its mother who was calling
for the family mail was bitten. It
oks like the dog man with a sure
hooting gun should get around, and
prepare some of these festive canines
for a dog funeral. The way they go
around in gangs makes them a menace
to any woman or child, and even the
lair will rise on a man s head provid
ing he has any, when he encounters
them at a lonely place at night.
It is said that a gang of the brutes
make the night hideous near the old
mill on Chicago avenue, and worry
stock greatly. It looks like it was up
to the citizens of Plattsmouth to get
out the old "fuzee" and do some
target practice, on this dog nuisance.

Will Hold Affirmatives.
The High school debaters received
a telegram last night from M. M. Fogg
at Lincoln, the president of the debat
ing league, stating that Plattsmouth
will hold the affirmative side of the
coming debate with Wahoo. This
news was received with great rejoic
ing by the school pupils here, for the
team is unusually strong on the af
firmative side of the question, having
won this side in the last debate with
Blair. The meeting will take place
sometime within the next week and
will probably take place at Wahoo.
The Wahoo team consistes of three
girls and it is a decidedly strong team.
The Saunders county aggregation
have taken the highest honors at the
last two statejdebates and the Platts
mouth representatives will be given
a run for their money in the coming
debate which is to decide the cham
pionship of the district. It was no
ticed that Wahoo had a man in the
contest Friday night to take notes
on the argument, which may give them
some unjust advantage.

It's rather an interesting fact to note
that all of the post office boxes at the
local building are rented and there
is quite a call for additional ones. At
the first of the year, there were sixty
or seventy of them that were not iu
use but the demand has been unusually
heavy this spring and additional
boxes would be welcomed by the citi
zens who have their names on the
waiting list. It is a matter of doubt
whether any additions or improve
ments will be made by Uncle Sam in
his present quarters here for the new
building will be commenced as soon
as the necessary steps are taken and
the bids accepted.
It was noticed the bids on the Co
lumbus federal building have recently
been accepted and it is getting com
paritively close to home. It is hoped
Plattsmouth will be the next. The
new Columbus building will cost

Former Plattsmouth Boy to Wed
Myron D. Flson, a former Platts
mouth boy, is to be married next week
at Madison, Wisconsin to Miss Helen
von Kaltenborn. Mr. Elson was
born and raised in this city and will
be remembered by most of tiie citi
zens of the town. His father conduct
ed a clothing store next door to the
News office for a number of years
and the family removed from the city
about four years ago. The invitations
of the coming ceremony have recently
been received by his many friends in
Plattsmouth and it will be with a
kindly interest that his large circle
of friends hear of the young man'
launching in the matrimonial ssea.

STATESMANSHIP
"I will call your attention to the
fact that you who love personal
liberty are in great danger. You
caa plainly see that any body of
men who will stoop to such meth-
ods as were used last week in forc
ing Lincoln to remain dry will fin
ally succeed in forcing laws upon
you which will be damnable in
their restraint of theis liberty.
You must organize and fight hard
or you will be defeated. There
arc always plenty of politicians
glad to jump to the crest of a wave
and ride with some so-called "re
form movement," hoping thus
to be elected to an office they could
achieve in no other way."
The above comprises a part of a
speech made by Mayor James Dahl
man of Omaha, candidate for the
nomination for governor on the demo
cratic ticket and a personal liberty
platform, at a meeting of the Danish
club in that city which he was in
vitcd to attend. His reference of
course was to Lincoln and its late
action in voting to remain dry
Is this the kind of an argument
that should spring from a man who
hopes to some time be the governor
of a great state, or is it the vaporings
of a politician who seeks to jump
on the crest of a what he thinks is
a popular wave and ride into office
It is the argument of the anarchis'
who seeks to make the foreign citi
zen believe that the American people
are seeking to put him under bondage
which he hoped to escape whin he
left the old country and came to Amer-

two western cities, Lincoln ant
Des Moines, have been without a
red light district for over a year.
Lincoln man who was over in the
Iowa capital a few days ago says that
the same opinion is held there as here
that it was a big step to lessening
crime in the community. Des Moinc
defeated for re-election the man re
sponsible for banishing the bawdy
houses from that city, but it is ex
plained that it was not because of
this fact that he was not re-elected.
These places are the natural resort
of the holdup men, the burglars and
other criminal They commit a crime
and Beck these haunts as a place where
they may spend their money and find
congenial company. When these
are not existing, they abandon the
section of the country where they are
'proscribed. Nobody has contended
that closing up these places banishes
the social evil from a community but
there is not such a tt ndency to scatter
it as some observers insist. The truth
