Provision should bo made to supply a rest room therein for our county people espec ially tho women and children. W. H. McDonald. Editor Tribuno: In n recent issuo of The Tribuno I notice Julius Pizer takes tho initiative in a move for a now court house. I fully endorse such a proposition. My property interests In Lincoln county are extonsivo, but I will be glad to pay tho tax necessary to erect a building that will preserve tho records and fur nish adequate room for tho transaction of business two requirements that wo do not now have. J. W. Payni;. Editor Tribuno; I fully endorso tho proposition advo cated In the letter of Julius Pizer ic ccntly published by Tho Tribune. I think to in nny way attempt to repair of improve tho old court house would provo to bo a penny wiso and pound foolish policy. T,ho cost par capita of a now court house would bo so littlo that ' I boilevo rjp tnx payor would voto against such a proposition. N. McCahi:. Editor Tribuno: I havo just rend Mr. Pizer'a letter in your paper with roforonco to tho build ing of a new court houso. This matter Aaa my hearty approval. When tho 'heaviest taxpayers of tho county feel that it is to their interest to havo a court houso In the county that will not only bo n credit to tho county but will preserve tho public records, tho gen oral citizenship should co-operate. It is only recently thnt practically all of tho records of CuBtor county wore destroyed by tho burning of an inferior nnd inadequate courthouse'. If tho Lincoln county structure should burn thero would bo a loss of soveral times the cost of building a flro proof building in tho destruction of tho treasurer's books, and tho records of tho clork of tho district court, nnd a largo part of tho county clork's records. Tho flro comes in tho night timo when ' wo aro not looking for it. Wo ought to wnko up nnd do something before it itoo lato. ' W. V, IIOAGLAND. .

M Mil ii iiiLiasiTssMJtltsyifisssssssssssssMssMfctJMr"' sr-vsssssOsssssssssssssssssisssnBnlsmrV'HHVn Stimson Declares for Tafl. In r pech at Chics go Tuesday nitfht Henry L. Stimson of Now York, secre tary of war, and the Koosevelt candi date for governor of Now York in 1910, declared himaelf for President Taft, and said that while he remained tho sincere friend of Mr. Roosevelt, ho could not support him for the presiden tial nomination. Mr. Stimson entered President Tnft's1 cabinet last year, after consultation with Mr. Roosevelt, and with the distinct understanding with the president that he would bo bound in no way to take pari in the political activities of the administration. Secretary of War Stimson in announc ing his decision ns between Tnft and Roosevelt, snid: "I. am for Ihe renomination of Presi dent Tnft. I am now and nlwnys have been a progressive. Mr. Tnft has faithfully carried out the progressive faith. I entered public lifo under the inspira tion of Theodore Roosevelt. I am a firm boliovor in his great national policies. I now remain his sincere friend. But I believe those who aro forcing him, against his original intention, into the arona against Mr. Taft, are jeopard izing instead of helping real progress. Mr. Taft has faithfully carried out his pledges of four years ago. Mr. Taft has been most falsely villi fied and abused. The recall of judges would bring the courts down into tho welter of politics." A Reminder. Editor Tribune: Teddy Roosevelt in his effort to ex plnin his position and his former letters reminds me of a minister in Cass county in nn enrly day, t who was charged with stealing half of a dressed hog. In lits tearful explanation to his hurch people he said: "Tho more I try to explain the more they think I stole the hog." Old Timer. Brown Will Stand on Record. In a letter to Asst. Attorney Genl. F. E. Edgorton, Lincoln, Senator Nor ris Brown says: "Denr Friend Replying to your kind letter of recent date, I beg to thank you for your interest in my campaign "My fight ofllcially began when Gov ernor Mickey undertook to protect the people against the wrongs of certain delinquent taxpayers. I have been on that sido of rtVery fight sinco my pub lic life begnn and was never more in earnest thnn I am today. 'T havo no quarrel with those who would deny mo a second term, although I know and feci that I am entitled to it. If what I did as attorney general nnd if my stand and voice for a direct primary, for direct legislation, for tho direct election of United States sena tors, for lower and juster tariff duties, for a tariff board of experts, for lib eral pension, for a presidential pref erence voto in every Btnte, particularly in Nobrnska, for tho incomo tnx amendment, for tho enforcement of the Sherman law and against its repeal nnd ngainst Lorimor,! are such ns to put mo outsido tho company of real progressives, thon I must accept that fate, but you know thnt such a record ought to entitle a mnn tho friend ship of every squnro doaling progres sive.
