IN THE INTEREST OF
I
' ECONOMY.
'I
At the organization ! of thc
house of tepresentatives of thc
state legislature , Representative
\ . Casebier mo\'cd that the supplies
' of the members be issued on their
I I personal requisition. This should
n. t have prcvailed. A similar custom
r is required in cvcry business
l' . . _ houseal1d there is no good reason
1 I ,
. I why business methods should not
? prevail - in thc expenditure of thc
f I pcoplc's moncy.
, " A personal re'quisition would
. make : the issuance of supplies a
I matter of record , while under thc
I present system no record is kept
as it is a sort of "hcl p your self ,
plenty more where these conic
I from. " Casl'bicr had no sooner
A suggested the adoption ! of thc
; i , requisition methcd when Joe
I Burns , representative from Lan-
II < caster county , was on .his feet :
protesting that thc motion was
I
\ . ) . _ ( an insult to the members and an
. ' - , . imputation on their honcsty. \Ye
t " - are all honest mcn" said Joseph.
1 ' ) . - ' --t Sure , but why not act the part ?
I It is my experience that men who
! feel it i ncccssary to constantly as-
sert their honesty , will hear watch-
i ng. r.lcla : whose condnct is hon-
cst seldom feel it necessary to
notify thc public that they arc
honcst. If a woman should start
at the head of a street and pro-
claim to e\'cry man she met that
slit was virtuous , it is quite likely
that sonic one would observe ,
'rhc lady protests too much , mc
thinl\s. : "
. \Vc arc not going to debate thc
r question of honesty with Burns
or any other man ; but we arc
t going to say that Jim Cascbicr is
, six feet three of man-all man.
The ncxt time hc starts any-
4 thing looking to thc welfare of
; J thc people and a business like
:1 : administration of their affairs wc
j want him to stay with it and
5 . push it through not withstanding
- - it may wound thc finer sensibili-
tics of even Joe Burns.

PORT ARTHUR.
- , Port Arthur has fallen , and the
_ .
" ' seige is pronounced the greatest
. { r . 'r i 1 in history. Military : experts had
I ' pronounced it utterly impreg-
noble. English army officers had i
said tIlL t it was the equal of Gib-
/ raltcr. But to the little brown
. , . men of the orient all things arc
. . possible , . even . Port Arthur.
General Stocsscl is regarded as a
hero and the press is full of his
praiscs. One incident in proof of
_ I ,
.
M
- - - . - - , - - -
- - - - - -
his right to the title is related
about the commilltder of a fort
' .
whose 1 men m were being \ slaughtered -
cd by a murderous fire and who
after hc saw nothing but absol-
ute almnilation for his : garrison ,
sent word to Stoesscl that he ,
could hold the fort no longer , to
which thc' General returned the
reply ' you can lie , can you not ? "
Did you ever hear of anything
more heroic , this giving away
time other fellows life ? Artcmis
Ward once said that hc was in
favor of a principle so strongly
that he would give thc lives of
all his relatives to battle for it.
Thus wa a Jokc. The valuable
lives l sacrificed by the utterly useless -
less resistance of the Japanese
invasion during thc last six weeks
of thc scige is not a joke , it is a
trag'edy. There arc heroes and
hcrocs. One kind died upon thc
cross for others ; another kind
ordered thc destruction of thous- ;
ands to no other purpose than I thc
gratification of his personal
\'anity.

'Vhat's thc matter with a
straight republican city ticket in
thc spring ?
Why not have a discussion of
thc telephone question at thc
farmers institute ?
A good many owe us on suh-
scription. Are you one of them ?
'Ve need thc moncy.
The Tribune has added forly-
one new names to its subscrilJtion

Senator Cady made a very scn-
sible suggestion the other day
when he observed that thc senate
should permit the committce appointed -
pointed to attend the live stock
convention at Denver to pay its
own cxpcnse.
1'hc Frcmont Tribune of Sat-
urday was a twenty page paper.
The Tribune is one of thc really
good papers of Nebraska and
their Saturday's issue was an
achievement of which the man-
agcmcnt may justly bc proud.
Governor Douglas of Massa-
chetts is one of the worlds most
extensive vertiscrs. A story
of him is related by a prominent
Boston man who states that at
one time a New Yorker was visit-
ing at his h0111e. The visitor picked -
cd up one paper after another and
after a glance laid each oncdown.
Hc then went through thc maga-
zincs in thc same planner after
which hc took thc bible and sct-

The host who had been watclllng

One Douglas County man who
was an applicant for a position in

upon failing to land thc job.
These disappointed office seekers

Farmers appreciate the value of
advertising as l11uch as any class
of business mcn. The Hiawatha
World runs several full page advertisements -

neighbors you can reach with an
advertisement in this paper. It

No man of late years has contributed -
tributcd more to thc advancement
of his people than Theodore
Thomas who lied in Chicago last
week. He was among the world
greatest musical directors , and I
one who kept to his ideals with a !
tenacity that resulted in thc musi-
cal education of Chicago. A
! magnificieut i lllusica 1 temple cost-
ing nearly a lllillion dollars was
just completed in Chicago , built
through his efforts , when his life
carne to its closc.
Mr. Bryan in a speech before
thc Missouri legislature Monday
said : "I wish to say I was glati I
fled when Mr. Roosevelt said that '
he would not bc a candidate
again. I think nothing has so
pleased democrats in a long while
as thaL" In view of thc result of
thc rcccnt election one can easily
understand thc democratic joy
created by this announccmcnt. In
the saute address Mr. Bryan ,
speaking of thc reforms the prcsi-
. . .
( cnt I was inaugurating , sail 1 : " 1 'f
hc goes about it camcstly. J
shall he glad to help where J can. "
'he president will no doubt wcl-
comc the assistance of Mr. Bryan
or any other citizen , but it seems
that the life and character of the
president would j usti fy Mr. Bryan
in being fair enough to eliminate
any doubt as to earnestness and
to cut out the HiL"
