Telephone No. 48. published at Senator Burkett on Postal Savings , Commenting editorially on Senator Burkett's speech on postal savings, the Lincoln News of last week said : "Senator Bnrkett'a recent speech on behalf of the postal savings bank bill disclosed that he has a few colleages who need watobing. 'When the sena tor first became a member of the npper house he seemed, as was natural, to be somewhat in awe of the men with great names against whom he rubbed, but a closer acquaintance has opened his eyes te the fact that there is a good deal of masquerading at Washington. Herearo some pointed quotations from the senator's speech: "In my opinion, Mr President, we ought to enact this legislation without much cf delay. We ought not to jug glo with the oonfldence of the Ameri can people, so recently and so univers ally reposed in us an a party. We ought not, by procrastination, to exas perate the American people with the idea already too prevalent, let me say, that there are influences more potent and more controlling in legislation than the interests of the great mass of the people. "Whatever may be senators' ideas as to the effect of this legislation upon those within their own small circle of fiiends, no senator can be blind to the efficacy of it and the desirability of it to the untold thousands of Americans without the domain of legislative in flnonee other than the ballot of Ameri can citizenship. "It took fifteen years of patient and persistent endeavor to make some men believe that it would neither wreck the republic nor ruin the railroads for Uncle Sam to take a hand in the legit imate control of our great transporta tion companies; and yet one objection after another has melted away, until today everybody wonders who it was that objected. Within a week we have seen in the public press the ad dress of one of the great railway mag nates of the country complimenting the congress upon the legislation that it has enacted. "I have seen ongress, or a part of it, apprehensive before, and that is why I have called attention to the meat-inspection law and the rate bill in this connection I have spoken as I have for the consolation of those really honest but timid souls who would rather offend the interests of all the people and the common sense of ail ine worm man to oiiend ttietr own theoretical and shelf-worn interpreta tion of governmental function.

The fire was not discovered until the house was entirclv enveloped in flame. The btructure was situated in the north end of the town uear what is known as the Noith school. Sever at other bouses are near, t or some time it had been unoccupied. About two weeks ago a man drove up to the house with a light dray wagon drawn by one horse, nnloaded some old furni ture, a gas stove and somo springs, and then placing sheet iron and tin over the windows, left the place. A neighbor was awakenod by the reflec tion of the blazo on the roof and through a window. The fire at that time was burning fiercely. One theo rj is that a crowd of boys may have been using it as a rendezvous and set it on fire through carelessness, Springers ones. Good For Sale. and fresh cows J M Barry, Jaokson, Nebr.
