Govornor Kolth Novlllo has nc
coptcd tho colonelcy of tho Sovonth
Nebraska national guard regiment now
noarly organlzod nnd will resign tho
oillco ot tho govornor of Nebraska
whenever the regiment Is mustored
into tho government sorvlco. This
may bo within a short tlmo or It may
not bo until toward tho closo of tho

Tho appointment to tho ofllco of
colonel of tho Soventh regiment was
conferred upon Governor Novlllo by
Licutonnnt Governor Edgar Howard,
acting govornor, whllo tho former was
at Washington, and tho appointment
was announced Tuesday.
When tho Sixth regiment, Nebras
ka national guard, was in formation,
It was rumored that Governor Novlllo
might bo its colonel, but at the last
moment tho govornor appointed T. L.
Hall, Jr. Tho Sixth regiment has boon
split up and merged with other troops.
Lieutenant Governor Howard, in a
statement, says ho is acting on the
principlo of majority rulo, that the

per cent on tho expenditures of past
years for tho training of men at mili
tary colleges and similar institutions
maintained wholly or in part by tho
- government, as well as at the.varlous
servico schools, and since the written
requests of a majority of tho oillcers
is equivalent to an election, I havo no
hesitation in accopting tho honor.
"I havo been assured by tho depart
ment oinulala at Washington that
they will gladly rci:ognlzo an addi
tional regiment of Infantry or flold
artillery qualifying us prescribed by
law.
"This does not mean that the Sov
enth will bo Immediately called Into
fedoral service
"It may bo some tlmo boforo tho
naitonal guard units, now being or
ganized in many states, are federal
ized. "With a slncoro appreciation ot tho
trust Imposod and tho honor conferred
upon mo by the peoplo of my stato,
1 boliovo that I should not bo worthy
of that trust md honor should I con
tlnuo .to urge Ncbraskans into tho
servico" of their country without
manifesting my willingness to accom
pany them.
"Wo nro fighting not only that
democracy may live, but that wo may
continuo to exist ad a freo and inde
pendent nation.
"Our country is facing tho moat
sorious crisis In its history.
"It Is tho duty of every man,
physically fit, of military nge, to
placo his sorvlces at tho disposal of
tho government.
"In this spirit, and after mature
deliberation, I havo reached my con
clusion, and act accordingly.
"KEITH NEVILLE."
When tho tlmo comes for Governor
Nevlllo to resign, if that tlmo does
como ,ho will ftlo his resignation with
Sccrotary of Stato Pool as provided
by statute. Tho constitution author
izes the loglslaturo to pass laws
governing such resignations. Tho law
Bays such a resignation shall bo made
&to tho legislature, If in session; if not,
to tho socretary of stato. Tho samo
statute carries with It a provision that
might not bo uphold by tho courts.
It is n provision that such resigna
tions shall not take effect until ac
cepted by tho board or officer to
whom tho samo is mado.
Tho army headquarters officers haro
decided to uccept tho now Soventh
Nebraska roservo regiment In titno,
and Govornor Novlllo's resignation as
chief oxocutlvo of this stato will bo
como cffectlvo immediately tho Sev
enth la mustered In.
Lieutenant Govornor Edgar Howard
will thon becomo governor, Immediate
ly, and will tako up tho duties of stato.
Acting Govornor Howard issued a
short statemont also, Baying that ho
has appointed Governor Novlllo
colonel of tho Sovonth at tho unani
mous request of all officers of that
regiment, without knowing whether or
not Governor Ncvlllo would accept.
Following is tho statomont Issued
by Lieutenant Governor Howard:
"Yes, it is truo that Govornor
Novlllo is now tho colonol of tho
Sovonth rogiment, Nebraska National
LIEUT.-GOV. EDGAR HOWARD
guard. I issued a commission to htm
last Saturday. Tho commission wa
issued following present." a to mo
of tho written desire oi practically
all tho oillcers of tho new .regiment.
At no tlmo bus Governor Novlllo over
spoken to mo on the Bubjcct of a com
mission. 1 acted in harmony with
my well known advocacy ot an
allegianco to tho plain principlo of
majority rule. Tho officers of tho
"new regiment wanted Governor Ne
ville as their colonel. I granted their
rcquost.
"I did not know that ho would ac
cept tho commission, but now I am
glad to know that ho Is not annoyed
by my Action, and that ho.fcels highly
honored by the call of tho mon of tho
regiment to lead it wherever duty or
honor may direct tho way.
"Of courso, tho acceptance of tho
commission by our governor will bo
a call to mo to occupy tho high oillco
ho now occupies. I shell obey tho
call, although nono who havo been
near me can doubt that I shall do so
reluctantly. It Is a position of groat
dignity and abundant opportunity, but
also a post of immense responsibility.
I havo never felt myself quite quali
fied to do full Justice to that exalted
position, but firm in tho faith of thoso
political and governmental principles
which I havo so long advocated, and
confident that tho people of Nobraska
will bo kind to cover with the whlto
mnnlo of charity my evory fault or
folblo so long as I shall not swerve
from'tho pathways of roctltudo, I shall
approach the high responsibilities of
tho position always in humility nnd
always unafraid.
"It is not for mo to know tho dato
of the retirement of Governor Novlllo.
Ho will nnnounco tho dato at his
pleasure.
"My ono host hope 1b that I may
bo able to so act under tho Impend
ing responsibility ns to leave a record
which may oven in small mcasuro
approach.tho general oxcellenco of tho
record achieved by tho splendid young
Nobrnskan who has borno guberna
torial honors with raro grace and
instant probity."
Wltnin tho memory of tho oldest in

except Dietrich, ever resigned hl3
ofllco. Govornor Dietrich did so to
accept tho election of United Stntcs
senator tondorcd him by tho legisla
ture at a tlmo before senators woro
elected by direct voto of tho people.
There Is an unpublished legend that
Govornor Crounso resigned because

Football to Aid Red Cross
Tho offer ot Chancollor Avory and
tho stato univorslty athletic dopart
mont to turn football profits over to
tho Rod Cross this year hafc boon
taken up in earnest by tho Red Cross
workors hero. Chairman W. E.
Hardy has been working during tho.
past week lining up tho organization
which will mako cortain a good ad
dition to tho city's Red Cross allot
ment. In tho past tow years tho athletic
department has been running up a
surplus of about $10,000 each year.
That profit has boon caton up in car
ing for tho oxponsos of other sports,
paying somo largo salaries and -making
somo oxponslvo Improvements.
Thla year the overhead has boon cut
to tho limit and Chancollor Avory has
decroed that sports which cannot bo
made self sustaining will bo aband
oned or cared for in somo other wny.
As an Instanco of the economy now
In effect it can bo stated that two sal
aries paid last year will not eat into
tho surplus this season. Thoso two
salaries amounted to ?1,300 por year.
Other oxponses aro bolng cut as far
ns possible. That means that with
tho usual crowds at Nobraska flold tho
surplus should bo larger than ovor.
If this wor'o an ordinary year it is
certain tho program about to start
would attract thousands moro than
ovor followed a Nobraska football
campaign.

BOYS MAKE BEST AIR PILOTS
More Likely to Possess Dashing and
Intrepid Qualities That Make
Ideal Aviators.
Wnr nvlntlon, with Its exceptional
dnngera nnd Its demundH for supremo
courage, Is peculiarly n servico for
volunteers. Hut It has been demon
strated, snys St. Nicholas Magazine,
that tho younger tho wnr pilot the
moro likely is ho to possess thoso
dashing nnd intrepid qualities that
mako tho Ideal air fighter. Conse
quently, tho government Is opening
wldo tho door of tho nvlntlon servico
for volunteers under twenty-one, tho
conscription age. Tho nrmy Is already
giving oillcers' commissions to young
men nineteen years of ago, whllo the
navy has reduced Its limit to eighteen
years. Only commissioned officers nre
permitted to opernto American military
nlrplancs, so nil our fliers will get
commissions.
Boys considerably younger thnn
eighteen can bo thinking now of be
coming wnr pilots, with reasonable
expectations ot seeing actual service.
As long us tho wnr goes en, tho air
craft program will keep growing, slnco
only tho declaration of pence will Jus
tify a lessening of our effort.
First, let us sco tho qualifications
of thoso suited to war nvlntlon. The
nthlctlc typo of boy Is preferred. To
have bctm a member of a team Is
usually n good indication of pluck and
persistence. A sound physique, nnd
good vision and hearing, aro absolute
ly necessary. Tho Ideal airman has a
cool head ; ho is ablo to act quickly In
'emergencies. It Is Important, too, that
tho war pilot bo an accurate observer
and equally Important that ho possess
tho ability to form correct Judgments.
Fair Showing.
"Dow Is your boy getting along in
tho nrmy?"
"First rate," replied Mr. Dopples,
considering his limitations."
"Yes?"
"Henry hntes to get up. In tho morn
ing, dislikes all forma of physical ex
ercise, and never wns known to obey
nn order whllo he stnyed around home,
yet I understand ho hasn't been In the
guurdhouso but twice slnco ho en
listed." Taking Long Chance.

Want Good Marksmen.
At tho tlmo of tho Spanish-American
war nn expert rifle shot wns re
fused enlistment ns n sharpshooter
on tho ground that good marksman
ship is of ho udvnntngo on tho flold of
battle. Thcro aro still somo military
authorities who believe this to bo tho .
case. They point out that when tho
dlstnnco Is not accurately known, tho
good rifleman will bo sure to miss,
whllo a volley from poor marksmen
will cover n Inrge area and scoro Borne
hits. Nevertheless, tho policy Is now
to encourngo marksmanship b everj
posslblo menus.
Concreto Is Preferable.
Steel Is going up, nnd concrete, as a
result Is coming Into wider use. Rail
way bridges, for example, which used
always to bo of steel, nro now often of
concrete. A beautiful concreto rail
way bridge is being built across tho
James river of Richmond, Va., and It
Is much prettier than a steel bridge.
For llko reasons, concreto Is replac
ing wood In mining structural works,
whero It has tho great advantage of
being waterproof.
