New Law Relative tc Houses of III
Fame to be Enforced
In Alliance
The last session o! the Nebraska
legislature passed a law relative to
hnwury houses that has caused re
joicing among the decent people of
the state of all parties, creeds, col
ors nml nationalities. It Is needless
to say that Governor Aldrlch signed
the bill, and It causes a shrudder of
apprehension to think what would
h i t' happened to t he bill had a cer
tain other person occupied the gub
ernalorlal chair Instend of Chester
H. Aldrlch.
Happily the enforcement of the
law does not depend upon any one
person. County Attorney Burton has
taken the matter up. with the result
that there has been a hurried exo
dus from the city. But this doesn't
ei.d tin prosecution Indictments
have been secured against five
houses, and the cases will be pushed
through the district court.

A protest is registered In a state
ment given out today by the Nation
al Association for the 8tudy and
Prcvoutlon of Tuberculosis against
ilu existing conditions In CongresB
which require measures concerning
public health to be referred to a
committee on commerce. At the
same time, a plea was made for a
new Committee on Public Health in
the House of Representatives, sim
ilar 10 the one now existing in the
senate.
The National Association in its
statement supports the Committee of
Or.e Hundred on National Health In
its assertion that under the present
division of committees, owing to the
large number of measures before the
I'on.mittee on Interstate and Foreign
oinn.eice. public health matters do
noi receive the attention they de-
seive. The statement says that
hogs, cows, and steel rails receive
much more attention than that most
ital ot all matters, public health und
he prevention of disease. At the
present time, the anti-tuberculosis
woikers declare, no committee in
he House has any direct responsi

In the Senate.

in all parts of the Fntted States to

Ex-Warden Smith Gives Nebras
ka Penitentiary Figures.
ONLY ONE MAN IN IS YEARS.
Brokers Are Slow to Buy and State
Treasurer Sells Only Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars' Worth of Bonds.
Cups to Guard Officers.
LtncoIn, May 23. The last report
of penitentiary conditions show that
there are 42! prisoners at that Insti
tution, of which number twenty are
under sentences varying from ten to
forty years while the rest are sent
there for periods ranging from six
months to t 11 years. The figures
show that there are of that number,
.121 whites. 98 negroes, 6 Indians and 1
Korean. Two white and two negro
women are included in the number.
During the last two years four were
received at the Institution under tne
death pennlty, while six convicted of
first degree murder have been sent up
for lile, as well as three who have
been convicted of second degree mur
der. During the blennlum, which
closed under Warden Smith, there
were thirty-one prisoners received,
who had been guilty of murder. Of
this number, twelve came from Doug
las county Thirty-six men were also
brought In to Berve time for attempts
to kill.
While in charge of the penitentiary.
Warden Smith, after examining the
records, found a life sentence in the
light of the past has meant only about
seven or eight years and that the
longest term served by any man sen
tenced for the remainder of his years
was only fifteen years. This despite
the fact that many have been sent to
the institution for life and many more
for periods of from twenty to thlrty
Hyg years.
The penitentiary is almost self sus
taining, as the hooks show. The main
tenance cost for the last hiennium was
$130,000. of which $38,000 was for sal
aries and wnges. $65,000 for clothing,
food and medicine and $27,000 for
coal. The earnings are put down at
$137,000, the principal items being:
From contractors. $94,000; farm prod
ucts, $27,501; electric current for
other state buildings, $10,000; gate re
ceipts, $2,500.
Broker Slow to Buy.
State Treasurer George has expend
ed all of the $fi00,000 received for the
sale or bonds of other states, with the
exception of $133,000. He paid out
the money for bonds Issued hy Ne
braska counties and cities. He has
just completed the purchase of $14.0 '0
of Arapahoe refunding bonds and $8,
000 of bonds Issued by the town of
Franklin for electric light. The bond
broker who bought the California state
bonds declined to accept $25,000 of
the Issue because the bonds were
stamped not negotiable, so that the
total sale of bonds of other states ag
gregates only $000,000. The amount of
fered for sale was $4,000,000. Negotia
tions for the sale of the balance of
that amount are progressing very
slowly, brokers offering terms which
the state board of educational lands
and funds refuses to accept.
Cuos to Guard Officers.
Adjutant General Phelps has re
ceived and will present two bronze
cups to o'lirers of the Nebraska na
tional guar 1 for excellence in marks
manship One cup goes to Captain
Iver S. .' Imson of Stanton, company
B, First raiment, and the other to
Captain Carte. Anderson of Norfolk,
company D, First regiment. Captain
Johnson receives his cup for the best
rifle record and Captain Anderson for
the best revolver record.

Sweeps Over State.
Omaha, May 23. Nebraska farms
were drenched with good, soaking
rains Practtcally every part of the
state received some moisture. The
heaviest downfall came in the central
part. Curtis and 1iup City got three
inches each.
Southeastern Nebraska did not get
as much water as the farmers had
wished, the showers being light in that
section, but none of the farms in that
part of the state are suffering for
moist ne. The greatest need was
right vhere the downfall was from
one and one-half to two inches in cen
tral Nebraska.
The rain caught the corn at just the
time When rain was needed. The
moisture in the soil will shoot up the
stalks in the next week and corn that

F. W.ST0LLEY, PIONEER, DEAD

iam F. Stolley, a pioneer resident of
Hall county, well known to many of
the older settlers In other portions of
Nebraska, died at the age of eighty

tomorrow afternoon at the farm home,
his original "squatter's claim," as laid
out in 1857.
Mr. Stolley assisted in the organiza
tion of the colony of Germans at Dav

"SHALL THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY BE ALDRICHIZED?"
The fight is on! Shall the demo
c r Jlc national o mention of 1912 be
controlled by an Aldrlch democracy
or Bhall it represent real democratic
sentiment?
Altho the democratic party has not
controlled administrations in recent
years its democratic platforms have
given it the power possessed by no
other party in history the power to
compel opposing parties to recog
nize the righteousness of its plat
forms. This advantage ins been won by
the party's persistent fight for the
people for the past 16 years.
Today the American people are
looking to the democratic party as
tht leader in real reforms.
Can Hie democratic party be trust
ed? The democratic national con
vention for 1912 will provide the an
swer. The special interests that have
wrecked the republican party are
seeking to gain control of the dem
ocratic party.
If they find that the progressive
sentiment Is too strong to be be en
tirely ignored they will take some
one who has been progressive e
nough to furnish them something to
talk about but not progressive e
nough to fight the .nterests.
Alter a long fight the progressive
policies which aroused the opposition
of all the predatory interests in 1896
are becoming the accepted policies
of : ie country, but the interests will
do their best to nominate a candidate
whe is not in sympathy with them
and tiled to retard their progress.
The work of a democratic presi
dent will be no easy work It will
require strength of nody, strength of
mind, and unflinching moral purpose.
The times require a stalwart, fear
less, progressive leader.
Longiess will largely shape the
issues and may d;.elop the man,
but whether he conies from the sen
ate or the house, or from a state
position or from private life, he must
measure up to the requirements of
the occasion and be able to summon
the progressive hosu to his banner.
He must be positive and progressive
if nt Is to win the confidence of
those who are seek'ng remedial leg
islation. 11 you believe the democratic par
ty should be true to Its name you
may help win the fight to protect Its
national convention irom the invad
ing forces of those v.ho would make
the party the laughing stock of real
den oc rats.
Mr. Bryan will do his part In the
efiort to protect the democratic par
ty fiom "Aldrlchism". On the
stu.np and thru his paper. The Com
moner, he will insist that the pro
gress made by the party during the
last sixteen years shall not be
thrown away; that the special Inter

voted to genuine democratic doctrine.
