"Commend the Present Judges.
The following resolutions were adopted
at the judicial conventions recently held at
Valentine:
"We heartily endorse the able, impartial
and just administration of the laws by our
present district judges. I heir impartial
desirions, speedy trials and general con
duct has been such as to merit the appro
bation and respect of all persons who be
lieve in law and order. We especially di
rect the attention of the electors of the
district to the fact that prior to the election
of our present judges, lion. W. H. West-
over and Hon. J. J. Harrington, this dis
trict was the home of the cattle rustler;
that little or no effort was made to sup
press cattle stealing and that lawless
bands fatted off the cattleman; that prose-
' cutions against these and other lawbreak
ers were continued from term to term,
which practically amounted to an evasion
of justice. Because our present judges
have faithfully, fearlessly, promptly and
justly enforced the 'aws against this crime,
as well as all others, they have banished
the cattle rustler and established law and
order in the district.
"In the past, tweanse of the tax system
of enforcing the laws of the 15th judicial
district of Nebraska has had the reputation
of being the lawless district 6f the state.
These conditions were brought about by
the failure of the courts to properly en
force the laws, and by a feeling among our
' -citizens that the courts did not enforce the
laws as they should be enforced. Now the
people have regained confidence in our
judicial tribunal. We call attention to the
(important fact that during the time these
judges have been on the bench of this dis
trict not a single act of mob law has oc
curred; that the vigilance committees have
-entirely disappeared, and at this time the
"district stands first among the judicial dis
tricts of the state in-so-far as law -and
-order is concerned.
"For these reasons we invite the co
operation of all parties who desire to see
the laws properly, honestly and fearlessly
enforced, to join with us in re-electing
these faithful judges, and we pledge the
electors of the district that if these candi
dates are re-elected they will pursue the
same policy in the future as in the past."
Has Nothing to Say.
The Alliance Times (republican) has
the following editorial mention of the
republican judicial convention:
"Well, as regards the work of the re-
publican judicial convention at Valentine,
we have norhing to say."
Well, it certainly couldn't say very
much.
MARSLAND.
Rain is an every day occurrence and
haying is retarded in consequence.

ill and under the care of Dr. Hartnell,

Some oLthe gates on toads loading
to Hemingford are very hard to open
and thobc who own them would do well
to fix tlioiu so a lady could open and
bhut them easily. It is bad enough to
have to open them at all hut to have to
stop and do athletic woik at every one
is a little trying on the nerves and it
might be if they wore too very hard to
close that they might remain wideopon
if the writer were driving through the
country. Some ladies wo know have
to carry a strap with a buckle iu tho
end and by use of it got a leverage on
the gate to close or open it. In my
opinion every gate should be equipped
with convenient posts to tie the horses
to and every gate should work so easily
that a child can operate it,othenvisc it is
no great sin if one forgets to close it.

our age of only half discarded bigotry.

The city council rejected the appli
cation Of Messrs. Shreve and Catson
for a license to sell Honor. The an-
plication was supported by what pur
ported to be a majority of the free
holders, Two different remonstrances
were filed. The hcarim? was nd.
journed on Monday evening until Tucs-
uay evening to give remonstrators tunc
to get their case in shape. They were
represented by Attorney Simouson of
Alliance and the applicants by At
torney Mitchell on Tuesday evening.
The board rejected the application
upon a technicality. Some who were
in favor of the saloon were somewhat
acrimonious over the result, thinking
that, as thev said, a mare technicality
should not defeat the will of a majority
of the freeholders if a majority had
signed the petition. I do not think,
however, that mutual rpcriminnlinna
and hard feelings should follow defeat
or victory on the part of either side.
All the world loves a good loser one
who does not get hot under the collar
when he is beaten. On6 thinp is
certain, each side had a fair show nnd
fair play and such being the case it
mignt best be a closed chapter.
