According to a rutin? of the
attorney general, precinct asses
sors in cities of more than i.000
population shall he appointed en
masse, and not elected. This de
cision followed the ruling of a
puzzled county attorney out in the
slate, who found conflicting pro
visions in the statutes. The latest
expression of the legislature is
said hy the attorney general lo he
that one providing for that offi
cial's appointment; hence that
governs. The nominees of the
democrats for assessor in this
city don't stand, according to this
decision.
HOWELL'S CLAIM.
There is no lixed rule of human
sentiment by which ong can cei
lamiy determine what anv man
is likely to do in his treatment o
one who has sought to deprive
him of a prized privilege, hut it
is probable that a large majority
of men entertain keen recollec
tions of wrongs done them, or
attempted against them, and do
not get over their resentment un
til a reckoning has been had.
One can't help wondering how
many old-line republicans of two
years ago are enamored of the
candidate of their party for gov
ernor this year. How many of
them have forgotten how near It
B. Howell and his colleagues came
to denying them the privilege of
oling for their party's candidal!
for president two years ago?
How many of the then Taft men
w ho were anxious to sustain their
revered parly have forgotten, oi
will soon forget, how the so-called
progressive republicans, advo
cales of the nomination of Mr
Roosevelt, who was the head of
a third party that was avowedly
bent on destroying the republican
parly, captured the regular re
publican convention in the pri
mary stages of the national earn
paign and proposed to convert to
their own use the name "republi
can?" And how Governor Chester
II. Aldrich and It. li. Howell and
W. J. Broatch commanded the
forces of Roosevelt and came per
ilously near preventing any Ne
braska republican from voting for
Taft at all?
How many will recall how
daunllessly Hon. John L. W ebster,
the stalwart republican of Oma
ha, went before the supreme
court to secure an order from that
court preventing the electoral
ticket chosen by R. 13. Howell and
C. li. Aldrich and their so-called
progressive republican colleagues
from being put on the ballot in
this state as the regular republi
can ticket, and keeping the Taft
electoral ticket off the ballot en
tirely. How many republicans whom
Mr. Howell sought to deprive of
the precious privilege of voting
their choice for president will
forget that in the hearing before
the supreme court Mr. Howell ap
peared to be the chief client of
the attorney for the Roosevelt re
publicans, and his counselor in
the effort to bar President Taft's
electors from the ballot?
One who came in contact with
the tense feeling that then pre
vailed between the two branches
of the republican parly cannot
help wondering if the feeling has
so completely died away that Mr.
Howell can now bandly approach
the Taft republicans whom he
sought to compel to support
Roosevelt or lose their votes as
republicans and ask lo rally lo
his support as their parly stand
ard bearer in this stale.
Ordinarily men do not forget
the acts of those who have sought
lo disfranchise them as citizens
or abridge their right lo express
their party preferences. Perhaps
the Tart republicans in Nebraska
may be temperamentally different
rrom the rest of mankind. Per
haps .such republicans as John L.
Webster, Ross Hammond, Senator
Kemp, K. P. Holmes and thou
sands of their kind who enter
tained too much fidelity to the
traditions of their party to tame
ly submit to being disfranchised
by Mr. Howell and his so-called
progressive republican associates,
may go the polls and cast their
votes for Howell, or get out and
for him.
Perhaps these Nebraska Taft
followers and regular republicans
may do this. Perhaps they may
not have forgotten, and may hot
do it. We haven't heard any o
them pleading for votes for Mr
Howell yet, but there is time, and
no one can tell how meek and
submissive a man or class of men
will be for political ends. Unti
the proof is offered by election re
turns disclosing the election o
R. li. Howell there will he some
ground for the belief that the reg
ular republicans have memories
that will extend back at least so
far as two years to the attempt
made by Mr. Howell and his fac
tional friends lo disfranchise
them in the presidential election
and compel them to either vote
for a man they did not want or
miss the opportunity to vole for
president at all.
They punished C. II. Aldrich for
his share in the transaction. Are
they ready to reward R. li. Howell
for ihs equally large share in it?

Corn being our greatest crop,
one may well forget the wicked
war lords and consider its har-
ests and harvesters. It was
Mary Kllen Lease in the palmy
days of populism, urged Kansans
o raise more hell and less corn,
and corn crops were none loo cer
tain in Kansas then. They seem
to be trying that system in Ku-
ope now, and some are due lo go
lungry.
:o:
Wherever this newspaper cir
culates, the home" keeper looks
through its advertising columns
(Nigerly lo see who is making the
est bid for trade. Advertising
ought to he very protitable now,
because goods sold now bring fair
profit, fof it is a season when the
public expects to pay a fair price.
If a merchant is not able to sell
promptly the fair stock he has
laid in, it sells later at a loss.
A fair amount of advertising, pro
portioned to the stock as a neces
sary part of selling cost, turns
a loss into a profit, and a liabil
ity into an asset.
EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.
Discussion of the abolishment
of useless boards and commi
sions began to be current in the
state a year ago. They took shape
a movement looking to the accom
plishment of that reform in the
state government. It was a move
ment coincident with the demand
for lower taxes and for an in
crease in the efficiency of govern
ment. Six months before this move
ment was under way Governor
Moorehead actually put into effect
such an elimination of offices. He
did so without asking the sanction
of the legislature or consent of
any other man. He pressed into
service a single official for the
head of the oil, food, drug and
dairy commissions. He combined
the duties of what had previously
been elaborately organized and
highly expensive departments. He
provided for a systematizing of
I he work, for an efficient allot
ment of labor for the traveling
inspectors and for an absolute
curtailment of expenses at every
possible point.
The saving has been a huge
one. l lie entire department now
is operated at a greatly decreased
cost. Not a dollar's appropria
tion is made by the legislature, for
its maintenance. And in addition
lo meeting every obligation, after
paying all of the salaries of its
heads and its employes, it actu
ally turns into the state general
fund upwards of -S 0,000 a year.
The latter sum is thus earned by
this department above all operat
ing costs and goes into the treas
ury lo aid in the payment of the
running expenses oi oilier siaie
departments.
There was no political display
when the change was made. It
was just a quiet, unostentatious
way dovcrnor jMooreiiead nad oi
carrying out li is campaign pledge
of business administration.
Governor Moorohead's initial
term has been one of indispensa
hie business progress his next
term will witness more progress

:o:
1 1 It the exception of one or
two, the democratic stale ticket
composed of most excellent
citizens and competent men.
While there will be a drawback
to llie success of the good men
upon that ticket, it ought not de
ter the democratic voters from
voting for those whom they know
to possess a good, moral charac
ter, and are worthy of their sup-
orf. It is hard to keep such ob
jectionable people off the ticket
is long as the primary election
system exists, but the newspapers
that know- their true characters
an do much toward keeping them
df the ticket by showing them up
in their true light before the pri
mary, j he good men on the tick
et should not be made to suffer
for the misdeeds of these scala
wags.
:o:
We are fast coming to a stand
ard of public service in which ef
ficiency is the great requirement,
nther than some special pull.
So the business interests of a
community govern. All citizens
should understand that real effi
ciency is an investment a commu
nity can make, for what applies
to a man's individual business is
Mjually good for Ibe community
business, llie democrats oi L.ass
counly have not a single apology
to make for the men they hae
placed in office in the past, and
neither have they cause to do so
for, the men Ihey have nominated
this year. Everyone of them who
are asking the suffrages of the
voters at the November election
are men whose character and rec
ords are as an open book. They
are all good men and deserve the
support of the voters of this
county.
