Governor elect Aldrich says that he

True and by many never referred

lawbreakers to go to sleep under the
assurance of Sorensens cynicism Aid
rich may mean it To an extraordi

Loyalty is one of the invaluable as
sets whether it be the loyalty of a
citizen to his country to the state
of his birth or adoption to the place
of his residence or to his vocation
or employment
Governments ffe staunch and en

its institutions and support them with
unswerving and uncompromising de

A state is prosperous and progress
ive when its people are united in
p aising its resources and its advan
tages to settlers and investors sing
ing a confident song in prosperity
and in hopeful note if in adversity
So the unit may be reduced to the
county or the community in which
one lives and the same principle of
loyalty holds good even to a mans
business or work it is applicable and
ital
Nebraskans should be faithful to
the proposition that this is the first
state in the union
We of Red Willow county should
hold high and fair its banner and
never neglect saying or writing the
favorable word or doing that which
might operate to its development
or to its prosperous growth along
all honorable lines
The same is true of McCook may
its shadow ever increase Never
w ithhold the activity of mind or mat

Cleanliness Our Motto
ment development and progress along
all lines commercial educational
moral religious
It takes brawn and brain and cap
ital to develop a new country to
build new towns and cities to es
tablish schools libraries churches
etc in new and frontier districts to
bridge its streams tmake its high
ways and render fertile and produc
tive its virgin soil
A look over Red Willow county
and McCook will convince the fair
and intelligent oobserver that those
who have blazed the way and stay
ed with the gun have performed
their part well under circumstances
not always pleasing
The progress already made can
however be greatly increased by a
lively and earnest exercise of great
er loyalty and increased confidence
in the future and outcome of our
county and city Capital now being
sent elsewhere should be kept at
home and used in financing home
enterprises and in investments in
home farms and city property both
of which have been safe and profi
table in the past and doubtless will
be in the future
Make the big noise for home af
fairs Be loyal to home institutions
Stand up for your state your home
and your business or make a change
You can easily do worse many
are not so favorably situated

sixty second house of representatives
is out with a statement that the se
lection of committee membership
should not be vested in the power of
one man but be controlled by a com

not even be a member it is perti

on committees was originally sug

His Chance to Vote
Tbe chronicles Jt our vice presidents
are notoriously burren of incident This
probably was the reason for the way
Adlui Stevenson secured the exercise
of a constitutional prerogative It was
one sleepy dy toward the end of bis
term as vice president The United
States senate was plowing through the
calendar and passing many bills Bills
are considered agreed to In the senate
if no oral objection is raised after they
have passed through the preliminary
stages but the usual form of asking
for the yeas and nays Is followed by
the presiding o Ulcer The vice presi
dent had said
Senators in favor of the bill will
say Aye Pause Contrary No
Not a single response
The vote is a tie announced Mr
Stevenson
The senator In chargeof the bill
paused on bis way to the cloakroom
and looked surprised
In case of a tie the vice president
may cast the deciding vote In the ex
ercise of his constitutional privilege
the vice president votes Aye
The Sun Drawing Water
The phenomenon commonly known
as the sun drawing water is due to
rays of sunlight between the shadows
of clouds It is seen to best advan
tage when the atmosphere is some
what hazy and when the sun is whol
ly or partly behind a cloud and is not
in the higher part of the sky Patchy
stratocumulus clouds are most favora
ble for the formation of these rays
and they are probably most distinct
when seen in the part of the sky be
low the sun when they appear to ex
tend either directly or somewhat
obliquely downward It is in this
form that the effect Is most commonly
called the sun drawing water But
such rays may extend in any direc
tion so that they diverge from the
sun as a center No rain need be fall
ing anywhere near the observer
though it is not Impossible for the
rays to be visible at a time when rain
streaks also are visible in part of the
sky The rain streaks however do
not diverge from the sun but are In
lines of the falling rain St Nicholas

The pillory in England was abol
ished as a punishment except for per
jury In 1815 and was totally abol

Bossy for perjury June 22 1830 Not
withstanding the fact that this mode
of punishment was supposed to be only
for the lighter offenses it often hap

PORTUGALS NEW LEADER
Dr Theophile Braga a Scholar of Ir
ternational Fame
The placing of Dr Theophile Braga
the one Portuguese scholar of interna
tional fame at their head was n
shrewd move of the revolutionists or
Portugal It follows the curious Latin
fashion of bestowing political power
on literary men but it also declares to
Europe that the true men of progress
t -
DB THEOPHliE BltAQA
the men of education and of position
are directing the revolution and not
the street rabble of Lisbon
Dr Braga Portugals provisional
president besides being a man of let
ters extensively educated and politi
cally powerful has the reputation of
being thoroughly upright and honest
and is said to be the best man in the
country to whom the chief office could
be trusted at such a crisis He is
about fifty live years of age and when
a young man took up the study of
medicine He holds a professorship in
the Curso Superior de Lettras at Lis
bon and is a member of numerous
academic bodies in various countries
of Europe He is also accounted a
poet of originality and power His
work both in poetry and scholarship
has won the commendatory notice of
Anatole France who presided at a
fete in bis honor a few years ago
About three years ago Dr Braga be
came president of the committee of
seven a position which gave him enor
mous political power and prominence
in his organization For many years
he has been intimately associated with
Dr Bernardino Mnchado one of the
leading professors In the Lisbon uni
versity who has been mentioned for
the first permanent president of tbi
new republic
