This will be considered a hardship by the snob bery down at Washington who have thla opportunity once every four years of attracting the attention of the nation and making a display that disgust about everybody except themselves. Since President-elect Wilson made his' speech In which lie announced I that he Intended to surround him- i self with "progressives and only I prdftrasslveB" In his administration there has been considerable warming up to the incoming democratic ad ministration. And why not? The reactionaries of the different uolltlc al parties unite when they want to put one over on the people In be half of special interests; why should not those of different parties who are at heart in favor of the square deal for all pull together? Congress man William Kent of Cnlifornia. pro gressive republican, was the first man osteite of the democratic party to tail oil Governor Wilson since he m id.' to speech above referred to. I loan, us well as some editors out side of Mroken Row, should wake up antl begin living in the second dec ade of the twentieth century. Tax ing the people to maintain political machines is considered the proper thing by those who run those ma chines for the revenue derived, but the government Is coining into the hands or the people and p.i machines are l ing smashed and political bosses relegated to the realm of the has been s. The object of the law requiring the publication of the proceedings of the board of county commissioners, the delinquent tax list and other county notices should bo to give publicity to the same, giving the printers a fair remuneration for tholr work. There are those who sneer at any reference, to the rights of the "com raon people", but that Is what true democracy has stood for, from time that Thomas Jefferson wrote Into the declaration of Independen t' "all men are treated equal" tin 1 1 1 the present time. Some think that a small part of the people were born with silver spoons In their mouths and are entitled to special privileges ir governmental affairs, regardless or what is right or fair. This class of people does not consist entire' Ol multimillionaires who are I In- d rect beneficiaries of laws giving them special privileges, bul is con. Itrod in part of their agents and lackeys who do the bidding or ti. bigiier up in the scale. This paper stands ror "equal rights for all. spe. la) prl lieges to none". If It Is taC easary to back down from that stand in order to get machine politicians to call us "democratic", they Will m ver call us that. An Illinois exchange, published in one of the most prosperous sections of that prosperous state, tells the story of a married woman of the tOWl who attempted suicide, having become despondent over the Inabili ty to pay a note for $l.'!.50 which would fall due In a few days. She was found by her daughter soon af ter she had taken carbolic acid and her life saved by two physicians who Wi re immediately summoned. The bard financial circumstances of the woman and her family were not caused entirely by the high cost of the i living. The exchange says she had m i n having a hard time and gives the rollowlng renson: "Her husband 11 is reported, is addicted 10 the use of Ihiuor. and that the 913.SO, Which she was worrying about had been borrowed to pay the house rent. No relief for these conditions was in sight, and the lady could stand the stress no longer." BE STOW I NG NEWSPAPER FAVORS 9 The editor of The II raid knows what It Is to be discriminated against in business because ol taking u stand for the rights ot the common people as aguinst the special inter ests, and is frank to say that If he shall ever be in a po-'i ion to bestow newspaper favors they will go to the boys who have bc?u In the same boat. There la much about the spoilt) system that we do not believe In, and we believe In an extension of civil service reform; but It is ridicu lous for republicans after monopoliz ing tlie spoils or office for so many years to protend to h eager for reform" Jutf on the c put out of office.

This puts the reg ular committees In both houses out or business so far as thla trip Is concerned, and the disappointment or members who sought places on this commit tee. largely with a view of taking this pleasant Journey, may be easily Imagined. The election of Hon. Geo. W. Nor rls, congressman from the Fifth District, as United States Senator rrom Nebraska for the six year term beginning March 4th next, was per haps the most, remarkable Incident or this kind ever witnessed In Ne braska. More than four-fifth of the members had pledged themselves un der statement No. 1 of the Oregon plan law, and when on Tuesday the house and senate met In Joint ses sion to ratify the vote, taken separ ately on the previous day. It requir ed but twelve minutes to make out of Congressman Norrls. United States Senator Norrls of Nebraska. The re markable contrast was Instantly ap parent to every long-time resident of Nebraska, who have seen the use fulness of entire sessions of the legislature destroyed by contests for the senatorshlp lasting from the op ening to the closing day of the leg islative session Senator Norrls was not present to make acknowledge ment in person, having notified friends some days before that his public duties In Washington would pro lude the possibility of his return ing to Nebraska at this tim A large crowd attended the dan " at the hall last evening. Klks' A delightful surprise party was given at the I, f, Hilton home about rour miles east of town, last Wed nesday evening. The event wns in honor of Mrs. Hilton's birthday. A pretty luncheon was served. A linen tablecloth was presented to Mrs. Hilton by her friends. In remem brance of the event. Miss Virginia It room e has issued Invitations for Shrove Tuesday, Fet- ruary 4th. There are about forty Invitations extended.

Scott received a telegram Wednesday afternoon stating that his brother had died in Taney coun ty, Missouri, and would be buried at. (heir old home in Jasper county, Missouri. He left last night for the funeral, on 42. Joe Vaughnn, member of the Alli ance city council and a leading coal dealer of the city, who returned a few days ago from an extended western trip, says that California hasn't anything on Box Rutte coun ty for weather this winter. Mr. Vaughan made auto trips up and down the coast with John Mallery. of Alliance, who is spending the winter there with Mrs. Mallery. Mr. Vaughan spent most of his time at jljos Angeles and hong Beach. He Btated that the unusual heavy frosts in the soulth this winter cost south ern California 1100,000,000 in loss of fruit and damage to young orchards. On his return he came via the Southern Pacific and ait one point saw Ice in Old Mexico, which is some thing very unusual. This was his first southern trip since he, in com- j pany with John O'Keefe, made a i trip through Old Mexico, at which time they were captured by revolu tionists and were compelled to go hundred miles out or their get back into the United was made at a social five o clock tea at the Episcopal rectory yester day afternoon. Miss Ware has been attending school In Philadelphia but has returned to be with her parents in Alliance for a year or more. She first met Mr. King at a wedding In Sioux Falls, S. !., at which she was maid of honor and at which he was present. The acquaintance formed at that time gradually formed into an attachment which resulted in the engagement. Miss Ware had been taking a missionary course in Phila delphia with the intention of becom ing a missionary worker. Mr. King is a graduate of Minnesota Univer sity and a rising young civil engineer.

The past week In the legislature has been notable for several departures frc.m precedent In legislative routine as well as Tor the election of a United States .senator in record time and without that important function im posed on legislators by the constitu tion causing the slightest ripple' or delay in the legislative sea. Among the things established dur ing the week which are ne and revolutionary may be named the adoption by both house and senate of a. rule permitting a record vote in potb houses In committee of tha whole when demanded by five nn tu bers. This may indeed be called a radical departure as never before in the history of Nebraska has a rule been adopted iermitting the record ing of votes while in committee of (lie whole. This former procedure 1 offered the constant opportunity for ui inborn to bitterly oppose legisla tion or to attempt amendment in lau.'h manner as to destroy a vital tui , pt.i't of the proposed law, and still tae no record of their action as final proof of their real uttltude to- anls legislation, if, after their at titude in committee of the whole, they might record themselves in la tor of the bill when placed upon its final passage. , This action of botii house and sen ate while apparently trivial to the casual reader will be found to be . one of the most important move ments inaugurated at this session. Auotlur radical departure from an- i lent unouir adopted by both senate and house during the week was Ihe fen 'il canetllaiion of the usual Jun KOtUfcl lr'l by the committee on pub I lie lands and buildings in both sen ate and notise. Then twenty-odd law and i makers, uuiijbers of this committee I Of both houses, had planned ror (lie usual (rip to all the slate institutions of Nebraska. Involving travel of some (wo thousand miles and absence from the legislature fcr a period of one week.

It la said bal the thoughts of this palatial Pullman en the part of the members I WOO arc not (o participate iu this pi. : ani outing caused a grief and ji a lousy to rise up in their hearts , and demand a new deal. The new ' deal consisted of a motion in the senate that a special committee of time appointed by the chair should visit the state institutions, instead o; the latter ;t,nt regular committee.
