A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 22, 1911. Nebraska URGE STATEOWES SALARIES I. II. Tate of Omaha and H. F. Dowl ing of Grand Island Seek Cash. VTXIim BANK GUARANTY ACT Allegation Made rarmrnt Mill Bf forthcoming I nelrr Appointment While l.mr Was Held l In District Court. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. :i. tSpcclal.) Arguments In favor of allowing salaries to L H. Tate of Omaha and 11. F. fowl ing of Grand Island for the tlmo when the bank guaranty law v. as held i;n in the courts during which tini l! men Hero appointed to serve as haul; ex aminers were heard by 8t:ite Auditor Barton and the matter taken nnd.-r ad vleement. In rase the auditor decides against the claimants they still have the right to appeal their cases to the district court. The Omaha man has filed a Mil with the slate for tS.K'. while Mr. Dowling ni-Us for ta,600. The latter alleges that he held his office for two full year:! until July 2, mil. while Mr. Tale rays he re clined his non-paying place when he had learned that the supremo court had upheld the law under which ho was ap pointed. Neither of the men deny that they have arned money In other pursuits since they were appointed to the $1,800 a year Jobs under the guaranty law. while the attorneys for the two men aver that it matters llttlo if state officials are away from their posts half the time, or that they perform their duties a( portion of Uie time or that they at tend to business but little or that Cey earn money "on tho side." The mere fact that the appropriation was provided, for they "ay, and that tho men were appointed for the place, is sufficient to make the state liable for the salary of the men they maintain. Appropriation In Force. The attorneys further argued that the two bank examiners who never examined any banks cannot be shut out because tho appropriation to pay them lapsed August 30, 1011, and their claims were not presented to the !i!ate until Septem ber 30. 1911. The attorneys allege that the constitution of Nebraska makes a dis tinction between appropriations for ex penses of the state government and sal aries of "officers of the government." They contend that tho constitution doe not set any tlmo limit on the time of drawing of salaries from the treasury. They admit that the constitution requires that the obligation Incurred by the stato must be Incurred during the blennlum, or within threo months after the legis lature adjourns, or appropriations lapse. This the surreino court of Nebraska has held, allege tho attorneys. Attorney General Grant Martin was present to hear what the lawyers had to say. Ho will act as tha advisor of the state auditor.. Ho Intimated that as the work of bank examiners was done under tbo old law while the new law was being held up and was done by ftvo ex aminers Instead juf . by seven appointed by Governor Sliallenherger It was possi ble that no Indebtedness had been In curred by tha stute and thut the re mainder of the salary appropriation not drawn by the five examiners need not be paid to the two examiners who were prevented from working. Claim of Trof. (Juln. Etato Auditor Barton Is holding up a claim presented by lYof. Gain of the department of pathology at the state farm and in which that official desires pay for serving as a member of the newly created board of registration for stallions at 17. CO a day. Auditor Barton contends that the state shouldn ot pay for duty at the stato farm and as a mem ber of tho state board at the same time. The supreme court in a doclslon ren dered ssina time Efco gives It as their opinion that such claims can be paid. ' Hearings by llnndnll.

CHARGES MADE AGAINST 'BUFFALO MUNTY JUDGE KEARNEY, Neb.. Oct. 21 (Special. ) Charges have been made against County Judge F. M. Hallowell, through a news paper article In the morning dally, that excessive fees havo been collected by him from litigants In his office. Later In the week the county attorney was In structed by the county board to Investi gate a number of criminal cases in which the county was Interested. County At torney B. n. McDermntt and Attorney Warren Pratt were appointed to make a report. This report was given to the board Thursday and the Investigators reported that in the ten cases cited a total over charge in fees of 46.80 had been made, according to their understanding of the statutes. Mr. Hallowell was called be fore the board to explain and he ap peared, but asked for time to acquaint himself with the report of the special committee. This was granted and Fri day afternoon he sent the board a writ ten statement. In which he says that as ho could not profit by collecting Illegal fees, tho county receiving considerable excess fees from his office, he Had only done his duty as he saw It. He further objects to a hearing unless It be before a tribunal that has jurisdiction to deter mine what a proper fee should be. Notwithstanding, the board today au thorized the county attorney to look Into other cases, both civil and criminal. The outcome of the whole matter Is watchel with great Interest, as some people think the whole deal was started by political opponents, as Mr. Hallowell Is a candi date for re-election. No malfeasance Is charged. FOREMAN JONES GETS BACK AT CUSTERSUPERVISORS RROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 21. (Spe cial.) The board of county supervisors, in session this week, took one dny off for practical Joking and got back at In a very neat manner. Taking Contractor Shaul Into thelr confidence, they cooked up a Job on Foreman Jones. vX the court house construction force, to the effect that his bill fur material was out of all proportion. The foreman was. called on tho carpet and given a dressing down by Chairman Morris and the other mem bers helped along in the good work by telling how much cheaper the stuff could have been bought. Jones stood It at first with stoical calm, then commenced to sweat. Finally he wao informed that a box of good cigars presented to (Tie board would probably straighten matters out. At this Juncture, he saw a great light. Going down stairs he purchased a box of cigars and after substituting part of the first layer with loaded ones, sent them to the supervisors. All helped themselves. Kupervtsor Hcadly took two, went outside, gave one to County Judge Holcomb and the other to County Prose cutor Beat. The Judge had only taken a few puffs when there was an explo sion and he was minus a cigar. Mr. Beal had a like experience, while Supervisor Anderson, It is said, nearly Jumped out of the window when his cigar went off. At present, those cigars seem to have the smoking members of the board "buffaloed." for each one la waiting for the other fellow to make the first dip Into the box.

YOUNG BAD MANWAS TAMED What Happened to Jake, the Wild Man re 1th a Gin, front Arlcona. Dank nt Arnold tha ogres Hands. CAI-LAWAY. Neb.. Oct. 21.-(Special.)- The Peoples Btalo bank of Arnold has cl angtd hands, the business and good will of the lmitltutlon paasing Into the hands of Messrs. W. II. and H. B. Jen nings of Davenport, Neb. The Peoples State bank was established about two years ago by John Frederick and John Frederick, Jr., president and eashler, respectively of the Farmers Etate bank of Callaway, and was under the manage ment of aslstant Cashier Charles Fred erick, who will remain with Messrs. Jennings until they bee'cma acquainted with their patrons. , "Hazing is not what it used to be," a L"niverstty of Illinois .professor said re cently. "During my days In school such tricks as ducking, hair cuts and the like were only play for girls. True hazing has reached n flee'ldcd extremo since then, but we had more real fun than they do now by far. "A wild sort of young fellow came mto our llttlo Ohio university from Glube, Ariz. We will call him Jake, as he In. sin ted ou a monaker almost as bad, and, of course, wo accommodated him. Juke was 'bad medicine' for sure and besides toting" a gun assured several of the fellows who had been ejulzzlng him thnt he woulel use It If we ever attempted to pull off anything with him. "Of course wo were all nearly scared to death, I guess not, and then and there we decided we would make things hot for Jako and his Ideas. He carried his freshness into the classroom and would chirp up and ask a question about some subject that had been passed for five or ten minutes. Then again he went without a hat find that always made us feel sore, so we thought first of taking Jake out for a real good hazing, but later on de elded wo thought it would be better to make him feel cheap for his display of firearms and his altogether too fresh Ideas. "We had an old farmer that we used In our little game, and I'll wager he Is still batting the game for students If he is alive. "Our scheme was to rob a. hen roost (the farmer's hen roost) and we always allowed the victim the honor of steuling the birds, whllo we watchee!. While we weTe watching Mr. Farmer would come out, catch our victim In tho Joke and with an old rusty fowlliv; piece would nearly tcarc the life out of the chap In the coop. "It took several days before we got friendly enough with Jake to let him in on the game, but when wo proposed it he fell like a sucker. Hn made sport of the tame sort of game wo had to content ourselves with and told us of big thing) they used to do In the west. "We started out to the farmer's place about a half mile from the athhUio field, with Jako well In front. A short distance from the house we stopped and made our plans. I went with Jake up to the coop and was to stand watch while ho got the fowls. We told him we usually carried away at le-ust five chickens when wo were doing the stealing, which staggered him for a minute, but he said he guessed lie could do anything that the rest of us did and he slipped into the coop. "Ho was doing good work, for he was einiet as a mouse, when our friend, the fanner, put In nn appearance. In fact, ho and 1 talked a fev minutes as to the best way to head Jake, and ho decided after what we had to!d him that Jake should take a big long hike In the open country, as It would do him good. "At the alarm I opened the door and yelled to Jake. He dropped his fowls and mado for the door. The farmer was coin ing from the l.outo and left J.ike only the path down the lane and out Into the country un a race course. The farmer fired and Jake went down the patch so fast wo couid hardly see him, yelling at I ho top of his vedco and beggln? the farmer not to shoot. "We all stood around before we started bae k, when someone suggested we better walk out the lane, as the kid might have run himself to death, and it was lucky we did, too. We walked more than a mile from the house, and the-re, lying n the lane, his breath coming In short gasps, was the 'terror of the west.' He was so weak he could scarcely talk when we reached him. We bathed his fae-e with water and half earrienl him baek to town In a roundabout way, "Juke cried all the way home and sheiwed is that he was the biggest baby we had ever known. We left him In a ramshackle old bain In the outskirts of town and told him thut the farmer knew him and he had better stay there until morning. He was so nfiald he wouldn't stay alone In the barn until we pushed hlro In and closed tl.e door, telling him that he hal to stay thore and one of u rchard & WlSSnelm Sarpet Co. with real merit as well as value.

It means obliv ion. Ancient le-gonds. souks, lilHtory and the traditions cf his people were said to have been recorded In Chief Sutago memory. He was called a living Indian epic. That is the Py of It. The Ameri can Indian epic mut always dlo with the last of tho tribe. LwiiEfellow appreci ated the poetical value of the life! of the Indian. He spent much tlmo in the lodge of Chie-f ButagiJ and embodied much of the material he obtained the-re In "Hia watha." As the last of the various trllx-s die and there are only a few left to die we are always reminded of "Hia watha.' It l.i "Hiawatha" alone that attempts to immortalize the Btruni?", romantic people'. We have lost our opportunity to rlulm ail epic from eir Indian tribcK, although we niitiht have had a "lleowulf" us uv age and as mysteriously powerful as lliei Kngllslt poem. Tho ballad eif Scotland coulel not poitriy a mores splcnellel eour age or those of Ireland and Wule's a more weird charm than could have hern found In the stories of the Indians. The folk lore of the European countries coulel have produced nothing more plc-luresiue. And all wo havo left to us are the htoiies of the struggles between the Indians and the white people and tho Indian films at the picture shows. The picture show mail never lets anything get away from him. but he realises the value ouly of Indian stories to the detriment of the Indian character and of tho really poetical Inter est of tho Indian life. There was an at tempt to write an Amerle-an opera with an Indian subject, but It was like tne pic lure shows it was only the repreiema tlnii of an Idea about the Indian. The truth alone was worth w riling about, and It has been forgotten. We have lost our opportunity to contribute a unlejuo and valuable literature to the world. And still we are a very Interesting little rnimtrv todav. Even though we are elv- illzed we are picturesque and strange, and the things we are doing whllo this coun try la In the process of the making will be of tremendous interest to the people. who are coming arter us. ir a jw 01 our prolific write! cure to stop arid take a look at us and w rite down the truth about us it is barely possible that we may last longer than our Indian predecessors. We are through the painful stsge of histor ical novels and are emerging from tho spasm of sex novels. It Is almost time for something real and something big. America Is getting almost big enough to have a real literature. Flashes of U Il luminate and startle us now and then. Each new thinking novel la heralded as "the great American novel." It Is en couraging to know that people are looking for" "the great American novel," but we may soon demand something more than that. What we should be looking for Is a great American literature. That means a literature that expresses tha truth about life, Uiat Is filled with tho poetry of life not the poetry of Ideals, but the poetry of real things. Indianapolis News.
