Constitutes a Crank The chief end of man is to be well fed and comfortable Happiness is to live free from pain a sound mind in a sound body and then to feed the hunger of our desires The poor est of us may be the richest in the limitless beauty of the world and in the imaginings of our dreams Mans imagination will never die The creations of his imagination are more real than reality Behold the Desert how bare and sparce it is yet no place is so populous with the crea tions of the imagination The Arab ian Nights is a fruit of the Desert Homer and Theocritus the blossoms of a narrow and meagre land Sim plicity is the handmaiden to Happi ness and Happiness is not the child of either exact or vast knowledge but of a knowledge which even if it knew all things would put all tilings Published Norris Entirely Satisfied Washington May 26 Special The threatened struggle between the republican insurgents and the regu lars in the house over the appoint ment of a nienjber to take the place of Representative Olmstead of Penn sylvania on the committee to inves tigate the steel trust has been avoided by a compromise The insurgents had demanded that either Reprseenta tive Norris of Nebraska be named by Minority Leader Mann or that the matter be settled in caucus Mr Norris and the insurgents knew that the standpatters would no t aallow his nomination but they resolved to fight Me issue to the end The mat te was settled amicably today how ever when Mr Mann said that al though he could not name Mr Norris he would choose Representative Gard ner of Massachusetts member who is highly esteemed by the insurgents Mr Mann has at every turn during this session shown an attitude of fairness and a desire to bring the contending factions of his party to gether that has nipped in bud many squabbles that might have proved harmful to the minority committee In this instance he was able to sat isfy the resentful standpatters who show no love for Mr Norris at any time while he satisfies the insurg ents by ran ng a man who s con sidered as one of the progressives Mr Norrs today expressed his complete satisfaction at the course artoptii by Mi Maan Gardner is one of us said Mr Norris and as far as I am con cerned no better man could have been chosen for the place My friends who worked to have m enaraed did so only in the interest of a prin ciple It is only natural that Mr Mann should have wanted an eastern man not from Pennsylvania and this together with the fact that the reg ulars would not stand for me com pletely eliminated me from the race But the appointment certainly could not be improved upon and I have assured Mr Mann that ray friends and myself are fully satisfied and will raise absolutely no objections to his plans Lincoln Journal Norris Urges Sugar Legislation Realizing the unwillingness of the democrats In tho house to consider any matters at chis session except 4ficse prescribed by their caucus ac tion Representative Norris of Ne braska has been for some time work ing with the democratic leaders try ing to prevail upon them to have the ways and means committee give a hearing on the sugar investigation resolutions which he introduced some weeks ago Chairman Underwood and some of the other members of the committee have been unwilling to do this or to have the bill reported until next session But by his own persuasion and the pressure of other insurgents Mr Norris has been able to secure the promise of a hearing At this hearing which it is believed will be granted in the near future Mr Norris will have practically all the insurgents in the house They will demand that the bill be reported out of committee so that the neces sary information called for from the tariff board and the department of commerce and labor may be gath ered and prepared for transmission to congress at the next session This Mr Norris says will give the jocrats if they are really in earnest about revising the tariff an intelli gent basis for the revision of the sugar schedule I was especially anxious said Mr Norris tcday to be granted these hearings on my resolutions because it is the only possible chance there would be to have them reported out of committee I can get enough men to go and speak in their favor so that the democrats will scarcely dare to shelve them If the hearing had not been granted I would be helpless for my resolutions are house resolu tions and I could not ask the dismis sal of the committee from considera tion on such a resolution It would be foolish for the democrats to post pone the passage of these resolutions for if they are in earnest about re vising the tariff this will give them the material for an intelligent revis ion -Lincoln Journal in due relation to each other and to Life- Life is the supreme boon and to live is to live well broadly and deeply and highly There is but one life and alas how few are as yet permitted to live it He who would truly live it to its depths and its heights sound mind in sound body has always been and is today meas ured by the money grubbing multitude and existence grasping multitude as a crank Men of distinction seen by the commonplace are always cranks A knowledge of truth is well for the human race for by truth we know Life and its relation to the universe What is best for the whole race is best for each member of the race but that knowledge which is useful to promote healthful and happy living is better than that which is not so useful Charles Erskine Scott Wood in June Pacific Monthly I J i I Look for this Sign on Leading Garages 1 I i 0U cannt knbw what

6 Indians and 1 Korean Two white and two negro women are included in the number During the last two years four were received at the institution under tne death penalty while six convicted of first degree murder have been sent up for life as well as three who have been convicted of second degree mur der During the biennium which closed under Warden Smith there were thirty one prisoners received who had been guilty of murder Of this number twelve came from Doug las county Thirty six men were also brought in to serve time for attempts to kill While in charge of the penitentiary Warden Smith after examining the records found a life sentence In the light of the past has meant only about seven or eight years and tbt the longest term served by any man sen tenced for the remainder of his

completed the purchase of 14000 of Arapahoe refunding bonds and 8 000 of bonds issued by the town of Franklin for electric light The bond broker who bought the California state bonds declined to accept 25000 of the issue because the bonds were stamped not negotiable so that the total sale of bonds of other states ag gregates only 600000 The amount of fered for sale was 4000000 Negotia tions for the sale of the balance of that amount are progressing very slowly brokers offering terms which the state board of educational lands and funds refuses to accept Cuos to Guard Officers Adjutant
