Wo offer thu suggestion to the busi

or it plan for the administration of city
affairs, then make tho candidates
pledge their support to the plan. Tho
city eloutton will soon be hero and a

is easy to say that we are going to
have a business administration but the
thing to do is to prepare tho plan and
force the olllcers to carry It out. Uy
nil means eliminatu the men who seek

they individually promote a lino of

not kimw what the majority want and

presented and they pledge their sup

tho responsibility then rests on tho
publio and not on tho city fathers.
Let us have an open discussion on
this. Tho Chief will gladly give its
columns for any signed article. Let
us got together and Hud out what we
want and how wo want it.
Sunday night tho Lincoln memorial
program was given in the Congrega
tlonal ohurch. The oxercisos were
originally planned for the evening' of
tho Mtli but were posponeil on account
of the storm. The church was crowded
to its limit. We huvo never seen a
more attentive audience.
Mr. Cressman has the faculty of
drawing outside inllueiiees to his
church especially on public occasions
mid to say he planned tlio program is
to say that it was an extremely good
ono. There wore no awkward pauses
and every detail was carried out. The
following is the program:
Anthem ,i,.
.Lincoln the man K. .1. Overlng Jr.
Jjlncolu tho lawyer L. 11. Ulackledge
cll,lt Choir.
Lincoln tho scholar It. 1). .Moritz
.Lincoln th-. statcMiian .. I. V. lMson.
The Gettysburg address
Miss Gladys Jones.
Idiicolu's religion I,.v Cressmitu.
In the address on Lincoln the man
it was discovered that Kod Cloud has.
residing within her confines, an own
cousin of tho great Lincoln In the por
tion of Mrs. Nauey Hale. Tho speaker
"brought out tho Idea of Lincoln's being
fflnut, physically, mentally and moral
ly. Mr. Itl.ickleilgu interested the audi
ciieo by giving new light on Mr. Lin
cola tho lawyer. Most blographors
content themselves with tho mere
statement thut during this time Mr
liucoln practiced luw, but Mr. Bluck
ledge gave an illuminating picture of
this period. He showed that tho prac
tice of law hi those days was very
imuch different thun now in one res
pect uud that was tho lawyers as well
as tho judge travolod on a circuit,
.books wore scarce, many times a law
yer would have no more than an hour
to prepare his caso, consequently tho
evidence given was frequently as start
ling to thu advocate as to the advisory.
Tho speaker showed that it was in
training such as that Lincoln de
veloped his analytical ability and
3oui lied I o quickly analyzo a proposi
tion. Mr, Ulackledge is an adept in
tho art of reading from manus'ilpt
and his production as well as his de
livery at this time was tho best we
have ever een In him. Ills address
was worthy of any platform.
Piof. Moritz excellently portrayed
the stages of Lincoln's seholaislllp.
Mono but an Intellectual giant would
ever attain to anything llko an educ .
Hon amid such a condition of poverty
and squalor as surrounded Lincoln's
early life. Industry, perseverance
and determination accomplished much
and at tho height of his career ho
showed that he was past master in the
art of logic, his diction was of tho pur
est and In systematized Information
lio has no superiors.
, We especially enjoved the professor's
cJcar'Woll rounded sentences and Ills
direct line of thoughts.
In many respects ho was at u great
disadvantage. He could not give Lin
coln's state papers as an example of
choice of diction because ho would
trespass upon tho subject or statesman
ship, he could not cite tho best exam
ples of logic without stealing the thun
der of the speaker whose topic was
Lincoln the lawyer, and yet tho address
skillfully presented Lincoln's scholas
tic attainments.
Judgo Kdson, to whom was assigned
the topic Lincoln the statesman, Used
one of tho most clever Introductions
that wo have ever had the plea.Mire of
listening to. An introduction which
was in reality a beginning of his ills
eussion As usual, Mr. Kdson, showed
that ho had given his subject careful
preparation. Ills sentences were con
cise, his elucidation exact and his
manner of delivery most pleasing.
J le dwelt nioroextensivelyoii Lincoln's
constructive statesmanship and gave a
rapid but full analysis of tho other
men of t ho time and showed how Lin
coln was in the very nature of things,
dependable on no ono but himself.
Lincoln's statesmanship was compar
able witli the men of any age, past or
present Judge Kdson was at his best
and those who wore absent missed an
intellectual treat.
At this point the choir chanted Liu
coin's ruvorite poem: "Why should the
spirit of mortal bo iirondv" This was
a happy inmoration the ideas being
conveyed far more forcibly than can
bo done by reciting.
issdhulys Jones then gave a read
ing of tho Gettysburg addresi. Wo
wore much pleased with tho rendition.
She has a pleasing delivery and gave
the proper though, the proper em
phasls.
Mr. Cressman then closed tho pro
gram by presenting tho religious char
acter of Lincoln. He showed Hint it
was because of his religious boiler that
Lincoln was the man he was, that it
accounted for his honesty as a lnwver
and that his statescraft hud for its
foundation the principles derived from
tlie teachings of the lowly Jesus. He
closed in a brilliant burst, of oratory
ill-closing tho fact that he too, hail
spent years ol study on tho UTo or our
martyred president.
It was tho opinion of many of tho
audience that tho program was the
best that has been presented in Red
Cloud for many years.
We havo but ono criticism. Wo
were compelled to stretch two or threo
feet in all directions in order to see
tlie speakers owing to tho extended
decorations and additions on what is
commonly called .a ladies;' hat.
LINCOLN LETTER
Lincoln, Nob., Feb. 12.l-(Spoeial
Correspondence) With remarkalileuu
animity tho republican organs are
seeking to make it appear that the
picsent legislature is the most extrava
gant in tho history of Nebraska. The
opposite is true. In order to make it
appear that, tho present democratic
legislature is extravagant the repub
lican organs hail as an appropriation
everv bill introduced with an appro
priat Ion clause. And with the same
unanimity these ropnblicau organs
torget to state what Is an absolute
rnot- that the appropriations made by
"economical session" two years ago
wero utterly inadequato in many in
stances, and tho present legislature
has been compelled to allow dollclency
appropriations in ordor to keep state
lusuiutions running Funds that
should have lasted until April l, llio!),
wo e exhausted two. three and four
mouths ago.
In the very nature of things it will
co-t Nebraska moro money to transact
its business during tho next two years
than It did during any two provious
years. Any growing business demands
iucreasod expenditures. There aro
moro inmates in the asylums to provido
for; there aro moro convicts in the
penitentiary to provido for; there aro
moro inmates of tlie reformatories;
stato buildings must receivo moro re
pairs as thoy become older. Now
buildings aro demanded und must be
provided. It is truo that some large
npproprlations-compHrativoly speak-lug-may
bo provided. Hut. as n rule
lie increase will consist in appropri
atlons for experimental farms and
stations, buildings imparativoly do
manded at tho Normal school, mid for
a hotter enforcement of laws safe
guarding the public health.
Tho liimnco, wnys and means com
mlttee is besieged with petitions for
heavy appropriations. Wero it to ac
cede to every request made It would
not have half enough inoiiny to meet
them. Hut the committee Is eaiofully
scrutinizing every bill. Iscuttlngdown
here and there, and getting down to
the real needs Instead or noting hastily
Upon the desires of tho piomolers.
The general appropriations bill will bo
before the legislature by the time tills
paper is In tho hands of its readers,
and then the public will know exactly
how much truth there is in the charge
of "undue extravaganco" made by tho
republican organs
Tho bank guarantee bill prepared by
the sub-commlttco of tho Joint house
and senate committees on banking, and
endorsod by tho full committee, lias
been presented to tho legislature.
It fulfills evory promise tnndo In tlio
platform, meets with the approval of
both depositors and bankers, and has
the endorsement of Governor .Shallen
borger, who advised with tho com
mittee in its preparations Itstrongth
ons thcr provisions for the proper in
spect'.on of the banks, and is an ac
knowledged improvement upon tho
Oklahoma law. In n short address bo-
roro the joint session on Wednesday or
last weok Governor Shallenberger gave
the bill us drawn hi.s approval.
"Hogging patronngo" is another
favorite cry of the republican organs.
It is Interesting to note that these
same orgam arc bewailing tho fact
that the democratic niajoiity ismeroly
undoing what a republican majority
dhl whon the conditions as they exist
today wero exactly reversed. Among
oiner i)i us introduced, anil wiile'i is
the special beto nolr of the g. o p
managers, is ono providing that Kail
way Commissioner Cowglll shill have
something to say about the manage
mentor tho railway commission. As
it now stands tho two republican mem
bers, being a majority, can so frame
up things as to control every appoint
ment, issue overy, ordor and practically
and on'ectually nullify any eirort put
forth by Mr. Cowglll. The pioposed
bill merely makes it possible for Mr.
Cowglll to havo a voice in tho manage
ment of "hogging tho patronage" in
the railway commission department.
The time limit for tho Introduction
of bills will bo up liy tho last or tho
week, and then will begin tho real
work or enacting laws Then, also.
will begin the work or ruthlessly
slaughtering legislation asked for ''by
request" and calculated to confer
special benefits.
Tho "physical valation" bill has
been introduced, and it makes pro
vision rr carrying out in uvery way
the platform pledges. Mr. Uryan's
address before the joint session dwelt
especially upon this platform pledgo.
and the applause that greeted his re
marks was evidence of the popularity
ol the measure.
One of the most important ami far
reaching rev iiiio bills Introduced, i
the one framed by Ollis of Valley, an I
Miller of Lancaster, and known as
.Senate J'lle 1208. It provides f r thr
submission or an amendment to Sec- 1,
Art. 0, of tho constitution, tho amend
ment being as follows: "All property,
except .is hereinafter provided, shall
bo taxed; nil tax, whether stato, local
or municipal, shalLbe uniform upon nil
classes of subjects within tlio terri
torial limits ot tho authorities levying
the tax, and shall be levied and col
lected under general law." This
simply means that a legislature may
enact a law that will raise all the state
revenue from corporations and leave
each county and municipally to raise
i lie necessary revonuo as it sees fit.
This course will remove many obstacles
now In the way of raising revenue,
and will penult the taxpayers of any
specilled tenitory to fix their own tax
rate fn- tliomalntenancoof theirinstit
utious, no pint of it going to the sup
port of tho state government.
Among tho senate Illes that have run
thesenato gauntlet and sent to llio
hoii'c are the following:
Senato Kilo. TO, to establish threo
demonstration farms west of tho
ninety ninth meridian, north of par
allel forty-one. This means a great
deal to the agricultural interests of
tho northwest.
Senato Kile Lift, prohibiting tho or
ganization and maintenance of secret
fraternities and socloties in public
schools.
Senate Kilo 152, providing for a
"school of ojtizenslilp" in tlio stato
university.
Senato Kilo 11, to exhibit and regu
late by license tho earring of conceal
ed weapons.
Senator Kilo71, to regulate demurr
age and storage charges and prevont
dolays In tho transportation and deliv
ery by railroads of freight other thau
perishable products.
Senato Kilo 133, to provide for tho
physical valuation of railroads and
other public service corporations.
Ilecause Governor Shallenberger has
denied himsolf to callers during tho
forenoon while tho legislature is in
sosslon It is sought to ho shown by tho
opposition that ho is undemocratic.
Governor Shallenberger, being a busi
ness man, has merely adopted a busi
ness rule. Ho wants tho morning
hours to himself so ho can scan bills,
look after tho bu Ino-s of his depr
mentiind read his mail. Tho rule
works beneficially to all whoso concern
for tho welfaro of tho stnto outweighs
their concern in selfish or social cuds.
