BURKETTS SUCCESSOR.
Speculation as to E.J. Burkctts
!
successor continues to bc thc
(
r chicf topic of political con vcr-
. sation. About every republican
in the district has "been mention-
cd" as a prospective .candidatc.
Prophets and wiseacres , clairvoyants -
voy-ants ; ; nd ward heelers have all
contributed to thc speculations of
. probabilities and still thc question -
, tion is in thc air , so to spcak.
' Judge Paul Jcsscn has 'indicatcd
. . to some of his friends that hc may -
not care to bc an applicant. All-

'
side step until he knows what Is

by announcing that ieisacancli-
, late and Pollard of Cass is w1' t-
_ jug his friends asking their sup-
port. Lancaster Coun ty is as
. . . prolific of candidates as a Hog is
, , of Hcas. Altogether it is a mud-
< lied < situation. The woods arc
, \ full of Barldscs who "arc willing"
and each county is groo wing one
"
or more favorite sons
! " , ' . 1'0 be perfectly frank we would
rr like to see Judge Jessets in con-
: . grass if hc cares to go. Should
he prefer to retain his present
, : ' position , some such man as E. J.
\ Haincr who has lately removed
1 to Lincoln would reflect great
c-edit upon the district.
j If the republican party wOlll i
send g. J. Vainer to congress ,
, f.
. elect Judge Jcssen to succced

Gov. ? Mickey at thc end of his

Millard as United States Senator ,
: . ( by thc way watch Cady in the
state senate this winter ) it would
put itself squarely on the Roosevelt -
\'elt platform of integrity , ability ,
courage and increasing opposition
to special interest.

, , A PRIMARY LAW.
Among thc legislation which
should receive thc attention of
. . . he ensuing legislature is a new
p . primary law insuring honest
, nominations Kansas will prob-
1.1 ably pass such ! a law this winter
fJ and Nebraska should do lilewisc.
\ . 'l'herc are a hundred lawyers
. in thc state who could frame a
law of this character that would
pass muster with the courts.
Such legislation would not make
any material difference in this
county , , but in many of thc coun-
, tics of thc state such an act
would improve thc character
iR
t
.
of the nominations and would
eventually destroy the pernicious
influence of machine poJitics.
THE PRESIDENT-'S INTER-
STATE COMMERCE
POSITION
President Roosevelt has inaug-
urated :1 : campaign looking to the
amendment of thc interstate com-
mcrcc law so that freight rates
shall be under government super-
vision. For years freight rates
have been controlled by thc several -
eral states and because of thc
pernicious influence of the rail-
roads in politics , practically nothing -
ing of benefit fie the shipping
public has been accoll1plilJ'cI. !
Under the interstate commerce
law as it now is , the commission
can do nothing more than : cake
recommendations which arc regarded -
gardcd or not regarded as thc
railroads please. The president
now expresses his impatience
at state control and his
intention to relieve thc commis- I
Rion of its impotence by putting
I
the interstate rates under governmental -
mental control. The rai lroads I
are preparing a campig'n of resis-
tancc to this which is said will be
the supreme effort of their exis-
tencc.
'l'l1c President realizing the
hold that these mighty corpora-
tions ha \ 'e up0n many of the con-
gressmen , says that he can do
nothing without the active
\ cooperation -
operation of thc public at larg-e.
'Ve believe that congressman
Burkett will lend his aid to the
accomplishmcnt of this reform
which is of such great importance
to time shippers of Nebraska , but
ne\'cr the less it would be a good
idea for our people to write Mr.
Burlctt of their wishes. By thc
way , when hil\'C thc American
people ever had such a true and
courageous a friend as Theodore
Roosevelt ?

Is it possible that thc Burlington -
ton rail road which now refuses
to pay its taxes has been . been
Mrs. Chadwicked.
The tide of the fortunes of war
IS about to turn. Russia and
winter make too hard a combi-
nation. Japan cannot hope t o
win where Napoleon lost.

It is said that the letter R , is a
favorite with the American people -
pIc because it is thc end of Park-
cr and the begin nning of Roose-
vel 1.
President Roosevelt received a
plurality of two and one half mil
lion votes over Judge Parker or
more than four times as large a
plurality as McKinley d
over Bryan

Judge 'l'uckcr's desire to learn
the \\ishes , of his pcbplc on the
quest ion of a new road law before
hc takes his seat as senator is
very commcndablc , If thc legis-
laturc was composcd of mcn who
would con ult and advise with
thc people before acting , the results -
sults would bc of far more benefit
to the public.

Juctgc BetijBaker of Omaha was
recently appointed associate justice j -
ticc of the New i\lexico supreme
court by President Hoosevclt.
'J'hc word comes now that hc has
been summarily removed by order
of the presidcnt for cause. How
any man can prostitute thc high
office of Judge and abuse the con-
fidencc and trust reposed ! ; iu him
by thc President of the Uni ted
States is beyond thc comprchcn-
sionot thc a vcrag-c ci t zen. How-
ever , Baker's acquaintances arc
not greatly surprised as his record
as district judge in Doug-lasCoun-
ty was not above su pi.ion.
