State POlit1Cs.
The light on lion. John L.'Vch-
stcr seems to have subsidcd. This
is as it should be. vIr. Webster
has always been numbcrcd among
thc Roosevelt men , and thc suggestion -
g-cstion that his candidacy for
vice president was antagonistic to
thc prevailing sentiment -
mcnt evidently had its foundation
in some hidden and sinister mo-
th'c.
While Mr . I.Jinhmy has , not
publicly said hc would acccpt thc
position of clerk of thc Supreme
- - is made
court , thc suggestion only
that hc would not decline it if it
were tcndcrcd. Judge Jackson
has been thc favorite in this race
for some time , but since thc sug--
crestion that Lindsay miLrltt ac-
. . , _ . . . _ _ . . _ . . . . _ _ n" _ _ _ " .n _ . . . . n _ _ _ _
; ccpt thc appointment , there has
# been marked change in scnti-
mcnt. A numbcro lawyers have
voluntarily interviewed Judge
Scdlwick and Barnes in Lindsays
interest , and his appointment is
j among thc immcdiatc possibil-
itics.
'J'hc Burkctt boom seems to have
caught thc popular fancy. 'l'hc
press of thc state , not only in thc
first congressional district but
elsewhere as well , have taken up
the light and there now seems an
excellent prospect that thc next
, state convention will indorse him
for United States scnater. This
will prove very satisfactory to
thc true republicans of Richardson -
son county vIr. Burkctt poscsses
ability , industry and ambition.
Isis services to this district arc
cdcncc of what his services as
senator would be. Of course
there arc a few politicians in this
neck of thc woods who do not
take kindly to thc mo\'cmcnt.
But thc party will not bc swen'cd (
from its loyalty to him to further
thc personal ambition or disap-
pointcd seekers after appoint-
unents.

" "Hope dcfcrred maketh thc
heart side" For a long , long
time , wc have been awaiting thc
announcement of Harry Lindsay's
appointment to succccd Summcrs.
Thc nearer wc get tu it the farth-
cr it seems away. For four years
Lindsay has faithfully and successfully -
cessfulh' fought thc battles of
. the republican party. Hc has
not only given up and sacrificed
his law practice , but has given
up and lost thc four best years of
his life in thc interest of thc republican -
. publican part ) ' . I-Ic has been endorsed -
dorscd by the state committee ,
every county committee , every
state officer , every republican congressman -
g-rcssnul , every republican member -
bcr of thc legislature , and practi-
can ) ' every republican lawyer in
the state. Why docs the president -
dent hesitate ? By what right
- - - - - ' - - - - . _ - -
docs Senator Millard refuse to
recognize thc almost unanimous
wish of thc republicans whom hc
represents ? The republican party
is not interested in thc personal
relations existing between Senator -
tor Millard and ! tvlr Summcrs.
It is however vitally interested in
seeing such men as Barry Lindsay -
say rcccivc their ducs.

\Vhat's thc matter with Nebraska -
braska anyway . : ? It stands near
thc hca(1 in intelligence and edu-
cation. It is possessed of more
than its share of educational in-
stitutions' It is filled with men
and women of culture and reline-
mcnt. It is one of thc great
granaries of the world. Yet in
thc world where men work and
accomplish ; it is ignorcd. It has
no voice in thc nations councils.
Its advice is neither sought nor
rcccivcd. Vi11ificd , traduced , for
gotten , what's thc matter with
Nebraska anyway ? A 111an o (
superior mentality is mentioned
for a listinctivc- position. Up
springs an army of little men and
cry no. Our legislatures convene
to elect United States senators ,
and thc contest is aptly termed a
scrub race.Men like : Haincr ,
Cady , 'Ve bs t e r , Lambcrtson ; ,
Field and hosts of others must
give : way for thc good fellows ,
thc mixers. Kansas is forging
to thc front. Iowa , Indiana , Illinois -
nois and Ohio arc inscperably
connected with the history of
their country. It is time for Nebraska -
braska to stand by her biggest
not her smallcst. It is time for
Nebraska "to break into thc
onion.Ve have been measured
by our little men long enough for
that is what's the matter with
Nebraska.

Womans Clubs at the Fair.
Referring thc part to bc
played by W.omans clubs in thc
approaching Louisiana Purchase ;
thc State Journal says :
" The womcns dubs of Nebraska
arc being treated as educators of
married women and a remarkable
display of their work is ready
assured and much of it is already
at han ( ] . Everything of merit
from their programs photographs
literary productions , improvement
of city parks and foundations to
the municipal reforms , will bc
exhibited to thc credit of thc col-
lcg-c for married women in Nc- .
braska. Some remarkable exhibits -
its have already been reccivcd.
Among these must bc mentioned
that of Falls City , Richardson
co un t\ ' . Among thc many mcri-
torious things contributed by thc
club women of this place is an oil
painting of large size , loaned to
thc Nebraska exhibit by thc art
institute of Chicago , where the
artist , bliss Cleaver , a member of
thc Falls City club , was a student
when thc canvas was pa n tcd.
Miss Cleaver has since been called -
ed to a fellowship in thc art institute -
stitutc . of Philadclphia. This

gallery until ready for shipment
