Lyons Mirror-Sun: We failed to
announce the' new comer, sometime
ago, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
C. Sund.. .There is always something
new in the world. This time it is
the selection of two women to carry
Nebraska's electoral vote to Wash
ington, the women being Mrs. II. H.
Wheeler of Lincoln, and Mrs. Draper
Smith of Omaha. This brings to
mindithe questions: Who carried
Nebraska's first presidential vote to
J Washington, and for whom was the
vote cast? In the presidential cam
paign of 18C8 Col. J. F. Warner was
one of the U. S. Grant' candidates on
the electoral ticket and was elected
and then chosen to carry Nebraska's
maiden electoral vote to Washington,
where he cast it for U. S. Grant for
president.

Omaha World-Herald, 21: 'it's the
old story a woman," said Leo R.
McPherson, 25 years old, ex-army of
ficcr, to Acting Detective Chief Pszu-,
nowski yesterday as he confessed that
he had escaped from the Leavenworth
disciplinary barracks on Thanksgiv
ing eve, 1919. McPherson was ar
rested in the Brandeis stores for pass
ing alleged worthless checks. He-'is
the son of a retired rancher of South
Sioux City, Neb. "In Purls it was a
petite "madamoiselle," McPhcnson de
clared. "Here in Omaha it was just
a good American girl." McPherson
said the Purisan lieauty caused him
to be absent without leave from the
Whitelaw Reid hospital for three
days. Subsequent court-martial re
ulted in a five-year sentence at Leav-
enworth. I came to Omaha, con
fessed the young veteran, "and met u
girl whom I have known for several
years. I took her to a cabaret. I
needed money to put up a 'front' and
keep up nppeurances by ht pping at
the Fontenelle. Tliat's why I cashed
the checks." McPherson ivfused to
reveal the girl's identity. "I don't
want to drag her into this," he said.
McPherson said his conscience both
ered him since his incarcei ation in
jail. "I want to come clean, go back
and serve my time and go straight,"
he told Pszanowski. He requested
police not to communicate with his
father. "He'd break his neck to help
me," he vouched. "Hut I want to
take my punishment." McPherson
safd ho was a grandson of General
McPherson who won fame in tho civil
war. Police will hold McPherson un
til Leavenworth army authorities
have been heard from.

that the adverse criticism that has
been so freely expressed throughout
the community in regard to his reJ
cent marriage following so closely
upon the death of his former wife
was undermining 'the prestige of his
official position, Prof. A. H. Rich was
called before the board of educntion
and the matter explained to him
with the result thut Mr. Rich huh
the situation in the same light as
did the board and his resignation
followed, the same to take effect im
mediately. There has appeared in
borne of the most prominent metro
politan dailies in this section of the
country an account of the affair that
is entirely erroneous, a reading of
the same would lend n casual observ
er to believe that grave and serious
charges had been preferred against
Mr. Rich. The reporter who contrib
uted this bit of news to the city pa

COUNTRY MWSl'AI'KK
Robert Welles Richie, who has been
writing a scries of articles for the
Country Gentleman on "Live Country
Nowepnpors," gives tho following out
line of what he considers the essen
tials of success in tho country paper:
"Above all else, tho country news
paper, to my way of thinking, must
reflect tho majority interests of its
readers, and in tho country flold
with fe"w exceptions those interests
are agricultural. A country editor
who gives u half column, front page,
to the account of the Ladles Aid so
ciable In the town church parlors
last Tuesday night, and a half stick
'in an inside page to tho fact that
Farmer Smith of Hunover Four Cor
ners has bought u pedigreed herd of
Holsteins, has got a wrong slant.
The ruling business thought in tho
country Is agriculture, and the livo
country newspaper is the one thut
reflects .that thought."
