In the years gone by there has been more "or less complaint because the pardoning power has been abused. This com plaint can not lie against Governor Shallenberger. He insists upon law enforcement in the first place, and after an offender has been sentenced he in sists upon the sentence being carried out unless ample evidence is adduced to show that the sentence is too severe or the circumstances surrounding the violation of law mitigating to a great degree. Following this plan the gov ernor has made a record that ought to entitle him to great credit along this particular line. The "sob squad" has little or no influence with him. He in sists upon having the facts submitted, plainly and bluntly, and pathos on the part of petitioners is not allowed to have any bearing on the results. During the seventeen months of his incumbency Governor Shallenberger has exercised clemency in only ten cases. Two of these were "Fourth of July pardons," and made practically obligatory by statute. This record is doubly interesting when compared with the record of Governor Shallenberger's two imme diate predecessors. When compared with the record of Governoi Patterson of Tennessee it becomes actually astonishing. In three years Governor Patterson has exercised the pardoning power 956 times, his record of 38 in , one day being unsurpassed. Thus the work of 152 judges, 228 lawyers and i, 824 jurors have been practically null fied by Tennessee's governor. An interesting incident took place in Lincoln recently, the occasion being a meeting of teachers and county super intendents addressed by Senator Burk ett and Richard L. Metcalf. The senator tried to make it appear that he did not know the occasion of the meet ing, then went on to take a dig at the "insurgent" movement. He declared (with emphasis that congress was re sponsive to the will of the people, and further declared that congress always moved just as rapidly as the people wanted it to move. In many respects his address was 'a repetition of his Memorial address in Lincoln this year. When Mr. Metcalf arose he took sharp issue with the senator on the proposi tion that congress is responsive to the to the will of the people. "Four times has the house of representatives de clared in favor of direct election of senators, and four times the honorable body of which Mr. Burkett is a member has treated the people with contempt By platform, on the stump, in the press and upon the streets the people of this great republic less than two years ago demonstrated beyond a pre adventure that they wanted the tariff revised downward. The answer of this so-called responsive congress of ours was a revision upward. If this is responding to the will of the people," concluded Mr. Metcalfe, "then I have for years labored under a mistaken idea of the meaning of that term." While Senator Burkett's declaration was received in silence, Mr. Metcalfe's retort was greeted with loud applause from the assembled educators. To Advertise Nebraska We are pleased to note that a move ment is on foot to systematically ad vertise Nebraska in other states. The Nebraska State Association of Com mercial Clubs and the Nebraska Press association have both passed resolut ions endorsing a proposition to request the next legislature to make a liberal appropriation to the bureau of labor and statistics to pay the expense of this work. The proposition appeals to us as being a good one, and we think is being put forward at an opportuue time. Never before have the state and its latent resources been as well under stood as now: and never before have so many people understood how to sucess fully develop these resources. Much of the failure of the early years of the state's settlement, particularly in tl)e western part, was due to a lack of knowledge. It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that western Nebraska is capable of supporting as heavy a population as is now found in the east ern part of the state and Iowa; and there can be no question about the advisability of letting the people in other sections know these facts. There will be several distiuct ad vantages in having this advertising done under state authority. In addi tion to the prestige of having the sanc tion of the legislature and executive branches of the state government, this kind of advertising would be distinct ly valuable on account of being author itative and reliable. A great deal of good advertising has been done by real estate men advertising that was accurate and .reliable; but barm has been done by some advertising that was not accurate and consequently not reliable. Misleading advertisements are worse than no advertising. Men who are mislead by claims that cannot be substantiated, lose faith in all claims that may be made, and are not usually slow in letting othere know of their lack of confidence. We hope the uext Nebraska legisla ture will take action in this matter, and make provision to carry out the project to a successful termination. Difference in Towns There is quite a big diftereuce be tween towns that are supposed to size up in the same class. The last census showed Columbus to be somewhat larger thim Alliance, and this year's census will probably show tha two towns to have about the same popula tion. Alliance will celebrate the glorious fourth of July nnd follow that with the three days of the annual con vention of stochmen. The finance committee lust Saturday night reported $3,015,00 raised up to tliut time to pay expen&es. The Columbus Telegram of la-st Friday announced that there would be no 4th of July celebration in that town this year on account of a lack of the necessary funds. After malting quite a thorough canvass of the business houses the committee appointed to solicit funds secured pledges for less than two hundred dollars, and accordingly voted un animously to abandon all efforts at celebrating the day this year. The day will not be altogether without en tertainment, however, as there is to be a game of ball between the Columbus and Kearney teams.
