If there is an atom of grati-
tude in the make up of John D.
Rockefeller , he will found a big
university and put Chancellor
j Andrews at the head of it.
Offenders used to escape the
penalty of their wrong doing by
attacking the constitutionality of
the law ; now they choose thc
easier means of relying on its
I ; technicalities. '
The congressional committee
I of the First district met Saturday

, 'ention to meet in Lincoln 011
March 22' ; Under the call Rich-
ardson county will be entitled to

The Robinson ( Kan ) Index
says : "Any town is a good town
4 to a good man. " 'J'his is very
true. If you think your town is
not a good town , make a rigid
self-examination and ascertain
whether or not you 'arc ' a good
man.

Since Grover Cleveland ] closed
j the door of the \Vhite house from
the outside the shadow of the
democratic party has been grow-
(
ing Jess. Now if that party nominates -
mates Willie Hearst for presilent
it may be considered to have
reached a point where further de-
cline is impossible and its con-
dition can only be expressed by
the words innocuous desuetude. "
'l'he republican party of Ne-
braska is not liable to mistake
underbrush and saplings for 'ub-
ernatoria ] tim bel' . Some people
,
who don't like the present 1 execu-
tive for personal reasons may
make themseh'es heard for a
i for a while but : when the time for
EI E I action comes , the rank and tile of
the part will be satisfied only
when justice is done and John H.

During the last ten years the
United States has made great
strides along many lines. Commercially -
t
mercially she has made her influence -
fluence felt more and more on the
trade exchanges of Europe and her
merchant vessels have carried the
flag further and further across
the seas. But wonderful as these
developments have been , and
gratifying m they arc to the
American people , they are no
more so than the advance that
hm been made in the field of
diplomacy , 'l'oday London and .
Paris 10Qk Washington for. diplomatic -
plomatic inspiration. 'N hen
John Hay sends a note to the
powers , the contents of that note
have their full measure of efTect.
A dispatch from this city to the
State Journal says that the 1'ri-
htlne' champions thc nomination
of Judge Jussen of Otoe county for
congress. This is a mistake.
' 'ltc Tribune simply predictcd
that Judge Jussen will be the
nominee , and believes that unless
conditions change , such will be
thc case. vVe have "champion-
ed" the cause of no candidate and
do not intend to do so , because
we think that the congressional
convention wilt han no trouble
in finding'the right man. If a
Richardson county man should
; aspire to the honor wc should of
course , all things being equal ,
favor him , but at any rate we
shall "champion" only the nomi-
nee of the congressional con'en-
tion. .

MARK HANNA.
? l'IadHanna : is dead. In the
short period of seven years he
had come to be one of the best
known men in public life and at
the same time the most bitterly
villiliecl and the most nlaliciously
cartooned man in the United
States.
Prior to the presidential cam-
paign of 18 < ) ( ) ! vIr. I-Ianna was not
known outside the business circles
in which he moved. In these
circles he was known only as a
very conservative and successful
business 111811. He was a warm
personal friend and admirer of
\Vm. McKinley and took charge
of thc preliminary campaign that
resulted in the tfomination of Mr :
l\'IcKinley ' for the presidency. At
this time his energy and execu-
th'e ability was changed from
business to political channels.
'l'he party was quick to appre-
ciatc the man and his abilities
an(1 Nir. Hanna vas made national -
al chairman. He managed the
campaign that placed \Villiam
l\fcKinlcy in the presidential ] chaii-
He was also chairman during
the presidential campaign
of1 , and made a tour of
western states where he . aroused
great enthusiasm that haul much h
to do with the ultimate result
and the re-election of McKinley ' ,
\ 1\11' ' Hanna having once entered
the political arena his rise was
rapid. In 1897 he was appointed
United States senator from Ohio
to succeed John Sherman who resigned -
signed to become a member of
President 1\'IcKinley's ' cabinet.
He had been twice re-elected and
his term would have expired in
1911.
1\11' ' . Hanna carried with him
on the floor of the senate , the
same conservative judgment that
h.ld . < made him a success as a bus-
iness man , and his ability won
for him a high place among living -
iug' American statesmen.
i12r. Hanna first made his appearance -
pearance in public life when the
money question was the para-
mount issue and the fact that he
was a rich man , called forth from
his political enemies torrents of
abuse and 'ilificatioll. But as
the American people came to
know him bette" they _ recocJ'nixed
in him a gentleman of keen intui-
tion , of splendid executive ability
of unbounded patriotism and a
man who could and did contribute -
ute much to the welfare and pros-
perity of his country.
OBSTRUCTIONISTS.
Every forward movement in the
history of the world , whether 'it
be moral or political or social ,
has had to contend with the ob-
structionists. The trail that
marks the course of civilization
is whitened with the bones of obstructionists -
structionists who were ground be-
neath the chariot wheels of pro-
: , ress. So prominent has the obstructionist -
structionist made himself , that a
little character study along this
line , might be interesting.
The obstructionist is generally
a little fellow , mentally and often
mora11y. lIe is never far-sighted.
being able to take cognizance :
only of that which lies within thc
limited horizon of his own indi-
'iduality. This limitation makes
him selfish , and long : continued
living in such an atmosphere
and being hedged about by a
limited mental vision , makes him
iUl egotist. ; The egotist can coii -
pr.hend but a small worll and
to conquer that world seems to a
mind so liseasel an easy task.
He becomes fired with a high
ambition ; he would exalt himself
to high places ; he would become
great , while by his very nature
he is barred from greatness. lie
fails ; and the evolution of the
obstructionist is complete. Satan
was egotistical : and he fell , and
Satan is the prince or oh , truc-
tionists. .
Political parties have suffered
greatly f 1'0 ml obstructionists.
They have been the men who
sought to use the party as a
means of personal alvancenlent ,
when by their limited abilities
such advancement was made im-
possible. They were incapable
of reaching and maintaining thc
high positions toward which
ambition urged them. As a logi-
cal consequence , they fell and
the selfishness and narrow-
ness of their natures asserted it-
self and they became obstructionists -
ists , blocking the way of party
progress and seeking to make the
party responsible for their short

mark he has set for himself , he
often drags with him many well '

Perfect Confidence.
Where there used to .be a feel-
jug of uneasiness and worry In the
household when a child showed
symptoms of croup , there is now
perfect confidence. This is owing
to the uniform success of Cham-

treatment of that disease. 1\1rs.
