Deform tit'.i'f iltinoiials or their
republican brethren allow them
selves to b rome worked up ever the
i-lection r-!;ult in Maine, it is well
to remember thai Maine wasn't vot
ing on presidential canaidates, and
that whatever the vote nhowel, it
was no particular test of tbe populai
ity of either Harding or Cox. Malm
gave the republicans a larper niajer
Ity than usual, and even the repub
licans admit that the democrats bad
made no particular campaign. The
real presidents campaign hain't
even Blurted In Maine or any other
place
We have done the city of Lincoln,
the otticers of the Lincoln cliamlier
of commerce and maybe one or two
others a great Injustice. A week nt
so ago, when the Btate fair was on,
we remarked upon certain notices
carried in tho Lincoln aailles to the
effect that the city of Lincoln wanted
to protect the Btate fair visitors from
imposition, and requesting those who
thought they had been unjustly treat
ed to call upon the chamber of com
inerce to have their difficulties
Ironed out. When we read that
notice, we sniffed. We have lived In
Lincoln, tind know about what hap
pens during tho state fair. A major
ity of the hotels, restaurants, stores
and other places "of business hike
the prlcea all the way from 25 to 250
per cent. We suggested that the
notices in question wc-re plain buii!;.
Hut we were wrong. Right during
the fair or soon thereafter wo
read thut Mayor Miller held a hear-
to-hentt talk with the head of
Lincoln shoe shining parlor. Tho
Greek had advanced his prices to 20
cents per shine during the fr.i
"You are making a great mistake,'
tbe mayor told him. "llu-rep no
excuse for higher prices during these
big days. It's bad business." Can'
you Just picture the brave Mayor
Miller hopping on the. shoe shinei
when within the radius of a Meet
- there were half dozen real state fa!r
profiteers?

four years Morehead was governor.

reduction In the amount the last two,

Mid In 1920, the bill will be at l ast

)f these figures will cause the nver-
itu voter to wonder whether MrKel-
vie may be wrong. Aren t we Justi

either efficiency or economy in the
present administration?

Karl Stewart, who left Bayard on
Wednesday of last week to hunt
ducks on the Garwood place.
Contrary to reports In Alliance
papers, which Plated that the acci

lake, Haller shot himself while
launching the boat, says the Farm

to an eye witness, the unfortunate
man pulled hla gun out of the boat
by the muzzle, one of the hammers
catching on the side of the boat and
reler flng p.s p dragged the gun !o-

into his arm, making it necessary to
remove him to the Alliance hospital

ALLIANCE BRIEFS
The trial of Ev. A. Keck vs. Mrs. I
Brida Shlmek took up the time o"
county court most of Monday after-1
noon. Keck sued Mrs. Shlmek for
$858, alleging that she owed him
this sum by reason of a transaction j
invnlv'ng the purchase of 180 tons!
of liny, on whicfc the Bum of $3,325
had been paid, leaving a balance due ;
him of the amount claimed. The!
'ilaintiff admitted that, she had re-!
ceived tho property with tho excep
tion of 9' tons of hay, and declared
hat she had paid him the sum of j
i5."7.Co a tier 'anch home, twelve
miles northwest of Hemingford, an
the 12th of September, nnd that that
sum was the amount agreed upon as
a full and final settlement between

Among the things that are iiard
to explain Is the Impression on the
part of a number of editors that
little Mac's code bill has saved the
state money. McKelvle is gelllri; a
lot of undeserved publicity on that
score. As a matter of fact, i't .sal
aries and administrative expends
alone, the six departments fo the
state government are costing about
$7,000 a month more than under me
old plan, and to date there have Y'jvn
no Indications of added efficiency.
During the first seven months of
1920, the cost of running the Btate
government, according to figures
given out at the office of the sta'e
Auditor, was over double that of the
corresponding period two years ago,
when Nebraska didn't have a code
bill to prom off efficiency and econ
omy. From January to July, in
clusive, two years ago, Btate war
rants aggregating $4,252,892 we.-e
Issued. During the corresponding
period In 1920 the total reached $8,
606,629. During the Neville ad
ministration, state govennent cost
