LINCOLN, Jan. 3. (Special Telegram.)
A partial victory over tho no-called ma
chine element In tho Nebraska Stato Teach
ers association was won today by tho
"antl" forces when tho association, In gen
eral session, added a vlco president, to Its
'list of officers and made that ofllcla! n
member of tho' executive committee.
Tho reform movement was started
Wednesday night, when an amendment to
tho. constitution was offered providing for
tho election at officers by direct voto of tho
members. This measure aroused vigorous
opposition, and a compromise was effected
by which an amendment was to bo Intro
duced today to rcqulro the nominating
committee to meet and mnko nominations
Immediately nftor lis election. This amend
ment, when offered today, was declared out
of ordor under tho rules, becauso notlco
had not been given.
It was In order, however, to create the
office of vlco president, nnd to add tho In
cumbent (o tho executive committee, and
this was quickly done. It Is claimed that
tho additional member will glvo tho. "antls"
control of tho executive committee, and that
tho cxccutlvo commlttco has authority to
rcqulro tho nominating commttteo to trans
Act Its business Immediately after It Is
named, thus accomplishing what was In
tended by tho amendment. The argumont
advanced Is that under this order of busi
ness tho politicians will have no oppor
tunity for wire-pulling, because tho nom
inations will bo mado by tho commlttco as
soon as It can get together. C. 0. I'earse
of Omaha was in tho convention for the
first time this morjilng and took an active
part In tho fight, but on tho losing side.
The act creating tho offlco of vice pres
ident, having uo emergency clause- at
tached, will not becomo effective untjl after
officers aro elected next year, henco no one
wan elected tonight to fill tho position. Tho
convention camo to nn end tonight with
a general session at tho Auditorium. Tho
address was by Chancollor Jesse of tho Uni
versity of Missouri. Just before adjourn
ment Superintendent French of Hastings,
tbo newly otcctod president, was Introduced
to the peoplo assembled.
Tbp general session this morning was the
best attended slnco tho convention began.
Tho Doano Euterpean Glce'club started tho-
proceedlngs with a vocal solcctlon, after
which tho dlvlno blessing wqb Invoked by
Dr. II, O. Rowlands of this city. President
W. M, JJeardshear of tho National Toach
ors' association addressed tho assemblage
on "The New Spirit In Culture With Agri
culture.." Superintendent Gregory of Crete
nnd Superintendent McKlnnon of Exeter

DISAPPROVE OF THE PARDON
C. V., nenlley anil Other Grand Is
lander Denounce SnrnKe'a
Action.
GRAND fsLAND, Neb., Jan. 3. (Special.)
In order to ascertain as fairly as possible
the sentiment of the community upon tho
pardon of Embezzler Bartloy by Governor
Savage, thirty-one business men nnd cit
izens wcro Interviewed ns they wcro mot,
tho result showing a general sentiment of
disapproval of Governor Savago's action.
Following Is the gist of a series of Inter
views, as printed In tho Independent to
night: C. I- Bentley The governor urges, In de
fense of his action In pardoning Bartloy,
that Hartley's sentence was much ruoro
sovoro than t4io avcrago sentence Imposed
upon bank wreckers. In this connection the
governor should have remembered that a
crlmo against the state is n crlmo against
that organization of society which alone
makes It posslblo for us to enjoy life, lib
erty nnd tbo pursuit of happiness. Tho
gravity of such a crlmo Is not to bo meas
ured merely by tho loss In dollars and cents,
nor by tho Immediate suffering caused by
It. Still less can tho crlmo bo palliated by
the fact that tho proportionate amount ot
damage to each citizen Is small. No cstl
mnto of tho gravity of such a crlmo Is cor
rect that leaves out of consideration tho
fact that It lsan assault upon our civil
Institutions which, if unpunished or con
'doncd, tonds to corrupt tho Institutions
upon tho existence of which our present
civilization depends. Asldo from theso con
siderations, his argument as to tbo ,relatlvo
degrco of punishment Indicted upon embez
zlers nnd defaulters Is entitled to respectful
hearing. But, In his attempt to Justify him
self, tho governor goes to tho extent -of
promulgating n doctrlno that Is not only
IndcfonslUo, but positively vicious. Be
cause somo ot tho money had been lost by
depositing It In banks that' failed and bo
cause some of tho failed banks had as
sisted people who were financially embar
rassed, and thereby possibly relieved them
from loss and distress, ho says that "the
problem becomes one of the peoplo's money,
preventing the ruin of tho people's bus
iness." His assumptions In this rcspoct, It
true, aro true only to a very limited extent.
But oven If every dollar missing from tho
treasury had been lostiln an attempt to save
Insolvent banks nnd business men from dis
aster tho governor's statement contains a
very dangerous fallacy. Tho funds In the
state treasury aro collected from tbo peoplo
of tho state for specific purposes, and any
attempt to excuse tho misappropriation of
such funds by reason of the fact that certain
Inhabitants of tho state havo been bene
fited or oven saved from failure thereby
would open tho way to endless embezzle
ments and defalcations. It Is deeply to bo
regretted that the governor of tho state ot
Nebraska should consider his position such
as to need tho support of such a fallacious
defense. r,
W. A. Prince I don't think tho pardon
ought to havo been granted. Tho sentence
might have been a little excessive, but, In
view ot the fact that Bartley nover made
any explanation as to what had become ot
the funds, he should not havo been par
doned so early. Bartley has not shown
what Is held out as an extenuation ot the
pardon, that ho tided over anything during
the panic.
Rev. W. W. Carr I havo not read the
accounts and am not In position to glvo any
opinion.
Jack Gallagher It nearly mado me sick
when I read of It. It's a shame.
II. P. Tucker I -can't sco how It's a good
thing. The pardoning of tho big thieves Is
nil wrong. t There was no Justlllcatton for
It whatever.
A. L. Barneby Well, If I had been thero
he would not have been pardoned.
W. H. Harrison I think It Is nn outrage.
There Isn't any excuse for tho liberation ot
Bartloy.
W. H. Piatt I approvo of the pardon.
And I mean Just what I eay. In fact, I
don't bellove It does any good .to keep a
man In prison ever two years.
George Bartenbach I think the man has
suffered enough. Whether It Is right or not
well, that Is another matter.
John Walllchs I don't believe It was
right.
A. W. Sterne I haven't read the govern
or's reasons and do not want to express an
opinion.
W. H. Thompson Savage's act Is simply
an( abuse of ,the pardoning power granted
uy me constitution, ana an ever-living in
ducement to tbo violation of public trust
and disregard of publle confidence.
Dr. W. B. Hoge It may be all right, but
I don't think so.
George D. Hetzcl It certainly Is not right.
It Is a surprise to me.
E. D. Hamilton It Is on outright shame.
It is putting a premium on rascality and
the action Is a serious mistake
H. L. Bode An expression of oplnlou
will not remedy the matter.
J. A. Costollo If It Is truo that In the
hard times Bartley loaned the money to
prevent a panic, and If It Is not true that
ho had any Intention of benefiting himself,
I do not think that he Is as much a public
criminal as ho Is a public benefactor.
O. B. Bell I think. the nctlon the most
outrageous ever perpetrated.
C. G. Ryan I don't think I would havo
let him loose until he had told where tbo
money was.
A. C. Mayor I haven't any opinion.
T. O. C. Harrison Tho pardoning and
commuting power la In the governor and ho
no doubt finds sufficient reason for his ac
tion. F. W. Ashton It Is a surprise, coming at
this time, though I expected It beforo, tbo
Savnge term expired.
J. H. Woolley The pardon will have a
bad effect on the morals of tho stato.
D. Ackerman I glvo Governor Savago
credit for the courage of his convictions.
A. C. Lederman I know one thing, the
taxpayers foot the' bill.
O. A. Abbott, Sr. I am of the, opinion
thnt It was Just tq Mr. Bartloy and Just to
tho state.
Fred Heddo I nm greatly opposed to this
action of the governor. Governor Savage's
attempted Justification is only wild talk. '
A. W. Buchhelt I don't know but that It's
all right under tho circumstances.
W. H. Mclaughlin You know how my
vote was at the convention (republican
state). I haven't changed my mind a bit.
The governor Is off his whirl.

WINSIDB, Neb., Jan. 3. (Special,) An
Inquiry among tho buslneos men of this
community does not show n single man
who falls to condemn tho pardon of Joe

at Savage's claim of Bartley supporting the

Mrs. E. T. Oaddls, Marlon, N. C, writes:
"Beforo I commenced to tako Peruna I
could n'ot do nny hard work without suffer

nnd can sny with pleasure that It has dono

Dlaaulaed Calnrrli,
Thero arc a great many pooplo who nro
actually Invalids from'chronlc catarrh of
some Internnl organ who have not tho
slightest suspicion that they are victims of
this universal disease. '
This Is especially true In cases of chronic
catarrh of tho organs In tho lower part of
the abdomen or pelvic organs. Theso organs
arc especially liable to catarrh, which gives
rise to weakening discharges, painful
Irregularities, backache, bcarlng-down
pains, smarting nnd throbbing, with a host
of other symptoms peculiar to weak per
sons of both sexes, but occurring much
moro frequently In women, when It Is called
femalo wenknoss.
Thero nro a multltudo of women, especi
ally housewives, and all other women
obliged to bo on their foot continually, who
aro wretched beyond description, simply
becauso their strength nnd vitality .'s
sapped away by catarrhal discharges.
Porunn Is such a specific for such cases
that when patients havo once used It they
can never bo Induced to quit It until they
aro permanently cured. It begins to relieve
tho disagreeable Bymptoms at onco. The
backacho ceases, the trombllng knees are
strengthened, tho appetite restored, diges
tion mado perfect, tho dull headacho Is
stopped and the weakening drains aro
gradually cured. Theso results certainly
follow a course of treatment with Preunn.
Mts.t .Louise Mahon, 3 Glen Bailie street,
Toronto, Ont., Canada, Secretary of Uie
King's Daughters and Secretary of Lady
Maccabees, writes:
"About a year ago I was so run down
that I bad to take to ray bed. A friend ad
vised mo to try Porunn and In two weeks
I was out ot bed and In a month I was
perfectly well. I uow find that my health
Is much more robust than formerly, so that
I take Peruna once or twlco a month and
keep well." MISS LOUISE MAHON.
