The Pharisee who prayed In the tem
plo o. k-ed himself and he has been
despised ever since, while on the
other hand, the publican who stood
back and humbly smote bis breast
has been held up as an example of
people who are honest with them
selves. So should we all, of course,
be honest with ourselves. It Is good,
Immensely good, to take a searching
look at ourselves every now and then;
Just to see how cheap and ridiculous

Isn't any question that, viewed from
any angle, the observance of Lent Is
beneficial.

of the present laws to prevent uionop

house committee on Insular affairs sub

The charge made on the floor of the

Archer, Campbell and Everhart Con

Red Oak, la., March 4 Three men,
charged with contempt of court, grow
ing out of bootlegging charges, were
convicted In Judge O. D. Wheeler's
court here.
C. T. Archer, the principal defend-
Istration of public lands as weli as ant, was fined $30 ana costs on the
"friar lands.1
Both reports concur In the opinion
that the organic act of 1902 In limiting
Individuals to forty acres and cor
porations to 2,500 acres In the amount
of public land that may be acquired
does not impose the same restrictions
on the disposition of the "friar lands."

Archer both paid their fines, but
Campbell submitted himself to lm
two weeks with Brlght's disease, died
last evening at his home In Mynard.
Mr. Murray was one of the pioneers
of this county, having come here from
Missouri with his parents when a boy
William R. Murray was born in
Moniteau county, Missouri, September
29, 1840, and came to Cass county In
1856. He resided with his parents
on a farm until his marriage. He was
married July 12, 1863, to Miss Har
riet Jean of this county, who survives.
Eight children were born to Mr. and
Mrs. Murray, five of whom survive to
mourn his death. One daughter,
Mary, died In Infancy, and another,
Mrs. Ella Emery, died about a year
ago. One son, William Murray, was
killed by accident about two years
ago. The surviving children are:
Mrs. Lorena Parker of Plattsmouth;
Mrs. Alice Fleming, Mrs. Ada Long
worth and Mrs. Harriet Truelson, all
of Omaha, and Nelson Murray of
Mynard. Two brothers and four
sister suruvlve the deceased, namely:
L. C. W. Murray of this county, and
The deecased was a highly respect
ed and valued citizen, having resided
in this vicinity for the past fifty-flvo
years. He wa3 of a genial and socia
ble nature, an obliging neighbor aad
a kind husband and father.
For many years Mr. Murray was
engaged in stock raising and ship
ping on a large scale, owning one of
the finest farms in the county, n
which he erected a large residence.
In more recent years Mr. Murray
retired from the stock business and
removed to Mynard, where he had
been engaged In shipping grain, own
ing tnd operating the elevator In this
city.
The funeral will occur Sunday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock from the resi
dence, and will be conducted by Rev.
A. E. Wachtel. Interment will take
place at the Horning cemetery. Thus
has passed away one of the early
pioneers of Cass county, and a citizen
who was beloved and highly respeted
by all who knew him.
ANOTHER VERY PLEASANT
OCCASION YESTERDAY
The tanton season Is now on In full
blast, having started In last Wednes
day, March 1. This Is the season In
which the Christian denominations
employ more or less for restraint and
pentlnce. This Is a wholesome prac
tice, and should bo honored In the
observance more generally than It Is,
whether from religious motives or
from motives that regard only the
temporal welfare. There are various
and cogent reasons. First of all, we
In this country go at too rapid a par.
We do not relax frequently enough.
We are upon a continuous mental and
physical strain and frequently the
tension does not relax until wo are
brought down by the collapse of over
taxed nature. Then, we eat too
much, not only of flesh meat, but of
everything else that Is edible. Also
we drink too much, generally speak
ing, and smoke too much. For the
foregoing excesses we have dyspep
sia, rheumatism, diabetes and heart
disease. We take our other pleas
ures with the same Immoderation.
We act as though we were living only
for a day. The Lenton period affords
an opportunity for rest and recupera
tion ,and It Is at a season of year
when relaxation does the body most
good.
Then there Is the matter of reflec
tion, of introspection and of pent
tence. Who Is thero so proper that
lie does not need an ocaslonal In
ventory of his conduct, of bis rela
From Friday's Do'ly.
Another very pleasant occasion yes
terday was the meeting of the Ladles'
Aid society of the M. E. church, held
with Mrs. Amelia Swift and at the
home of Mrs. Gertrude Morgan on
North Sixth street, during tha after
noon. The usual Diisiness session was
held and entered Into with much In
terest and enthusiasm. Following
the business session the ladles In
dulged In social conversation and
various amusements, which assisted
In making the afternoon entertain
ment so delightful. Delicious refresh
ments were Berved at the proper time,
which the ladles likewise thoroughly
enjoyed. There were a large number
In attendance.
Don't Ict It Happen AgAin.
Mr. R. L. Propst cf Mynard was In
the city this afternoon and dropped
Into the Journal office to say that
some party known to him had
poisoned a nice little spit dog which
was a pet of his children. This Is the
third dog which has gone In this way
within a year. The next time It oc

practical expedient the "friar lands'
should be disposed of In larger quan
titles to attract buyers, while the mi
nority claim that the sale of the
"friar lands" In large tracts may de
velop a system of absentee landlord
ism as obnoxious to the Filipinos as
that of the friars, against whom they
once rebelled. The latter also suggest
that a friendly proceeding be begun
In the courts by the officers of the
Philippine government to determine
the exact legal status of the "friar
lands" with respect to public lands
regulations.
Alleged Sugar Trust Deal.
As to the acquisition by B. L. Poole
of 56,000 acres of the "friar lands" on
behalf of Horace Havemeyer, Charles
J. Welch and Charles H. Senff, repre
sentatives, declare the house officials
Involved were not culpable, being guld
cd by the best available Interpreta
tions of the law.
The majority members, however,
deny that the land was obtained by
the sugar trust, while the minority
assort thnt If the sugar trust did not
acquire it, "the next door neighbor to
the sugar trust" did, and that there Is
apparently "a community of Interest,
evidencing a holding by one person of
upwards of 56,000 acreg of land.
The minority accepts the situation
as unavoidable, but holds the incident
up as a wsrnlng against "further ex
ploitation of lands by American capi
talists," and suggests that no more
sales of large tracts of the "friar
lands" be consummated pending the
action of congress or the outcome of
court proceedings that might be In
stituted by the Philippine officials.
