The Nebraska anti-trust and anti
combine laws have been declared good
and sound. County Attorney Mullen
will therefore take notice that he lias
tlic law behind him to bust the bank
ers’ combination in Holt county.
After ail has been said and done by
the occupants of the editorial tripods
who are now busy making senators
and governors, there it dicernible in
the calm level ef public opinion a
strong inclination among the voters
to vote for the men whom they think
will best serve the interests of the
tax payers. The breaking away from
party ties the last few years Is con
tinually becoming more marked and
no party can hope to carry the Ne
braska election on a purely partisan
platform. The voters are demanding
men rather than politics.
The setiment pervades the county
generally that the board of supervis
ors should authorize the expertlng of
the treasurer’s office. It is not neces
sarily Intimated by this that there is
a shortage or any irregularities. But
inasmuoh as the taxpayers appear to
desire it, it would seem to be incum
bent on the board to authorize a
thorough expertlng of the books up to
the first of the present year. It
might be noted in this connection
that there has never been a demand
in this community for an expert ex
amination of public records but what
the same was needed and timely.
To the Shame of the jury in the
Pat Crowe kidnapping case a verdict
of not guilty was rendered. After
listening to direct and undeniable
testimony and a depraved prisoner’s
* own confession in plain black and
white over his signature it is the
greatest wonder of modern judicial
proceedure how twelve men could ar
rive at the conclusion that the honor
able Pat is innocent. The presiding
judge voiced the sentiments of a good
many beside the court when he rebuk
ed the cheers of the motley mob for
exploding their feelings at the out
come of the trial when he said: "This
oourt is very much surprised that
when a Jury would pass a verdict
clearing such a notorious criminal
| that you citizens would make such a
demonstrations as this. lam asham
j ed of you. You should be ashamed of
I yourselves. I will ask the bailif to
L clear the court room.’’
The emotional, radical newspaper
f writers, who get up and tear chunks
I out of the air over proposed legislation
I or proposed candidates, have stigma
*: tised their fellow craftsmen and party
| associates with the appelation of
I “railroad tool” because they decline
| to go to the verge of insanity over any
f particular favorite’s boom for the
f senate. The Frontier feels disposed
| to recent these insinuations as it has
I been among those who has dared to
I express a preference for senator some
I what out of harmony with the popu
| lar clamor. We have said, and have
I not seen it successfully gainsaid, and
I now repeat, that Editor Rosewater of
El the Bee is tne best equipped man in all
I respects in Nebraska to represent us in
■ the senate. And by all fairness he
I should have it. But if the next re
H /
■* publican state convention recommends
SI a candidate and sees fit to name Nor
■ rls Brown, that worthy gentleman
^Iwill get every vote in thisottiee on the
preference proposition and a hearty
editorial support. These radical and
excessively enthusiastic editors may
faunch and tear the air, but the real
work of a political campaign that
counts and makes the votes ultimate
ly rests upon the shoulders of the
conservative and independent think
ing men of the party.
“Fret not thyself because of evil
doers, neither be thou envious against
the workers of iniquity. For they
shall be cut down like the grass and
wither as the green herb. Trust in
the Lord and do good, so shalt thou
dwell in the land, and verily thou
shalt be fed. ”
OFFICIALS AND MILEAGE
Vouchers for mileage books, tiled by
state officers, will no more be signed
by Secretary of State Galusha or al
lowed by Deputy State Auditor Cook,
says the Bee’s Lincoln correspondent.
This because Mr. Galusha asserts he
has evidence in Iris possession that
two at least of the state officers have
used mileage bought by the state for
private purposes. Yesterday a vouch
er was filed by Land Commissioner
Eaton for mileage books for himself
and deputy and the secretary of state
refused to sign. After a consultation
with the deputy auditor the latter
concluded to refuse to issue any more
warrants to pay for mileage books.
Hereafter the state officer will have
to pay his railroad fare and take a re
ceipt from the ticket agent. Then if
Ills transportation shows that he has
gone to a town in whicli there is a
state institution the officer will stand
a good chance to get his money back,
but if the ticket reads to some place
where the officer would hardly go on
state business the money will remain
in the treasury.
After the republican state conven
tion the state officers returned their
passes and then bought mileage books.
The vouchers were filed with the audi
tor and the warrants were issued. Mr.
Galusha says he has evidence that
some of the officers were using their
books to travel on private business and
therefore he will refuse in the future
to sign any voucher for mileage books.
Treasurer Mortensen pays his fare
when going on state business and
turns into the auditor his receipt.
When traveling on private business
the treasurer rides on a mileage book
which the state does not furnish.
CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.
It may be alright for a girl to learn
skating from a teacher in a correspon
dence school 300 miles away, but the
North Nebraska Eagie believes a
young man with a strong right arm
right here at home is better.
The Sterling Sun thinks one thing
that might be said of Alice Roosevelt
that could not be said of some other
American young ladies of note or
wealth, she had sense enough not to
throw herself away on some worthless
foreign count.
“There’s going to be something do
ing in the assessment line this
spring,” notes the Lexington Pioneer.
“The several assessors of the state are
soon to hold a meeting at Lincoln and
among other things are going to devise
a method to catch the tax dodgers,
that is the fellow that k6eps a good
part of his taxable property under
cover and fails to report the same to
the assessor.”
In trimming up a number of sticks
of north Nebraska timber for state of
ficers, the Norfolk Daily News says
that Dr. J. P. Gilligan of this city is
considered a “dark horse” candidate
for state treasurer. “He is widely
known in the northern section of the
state and served one term in the state
senate,” says the News. “Heisadoc
tor and spent his time in remodeling
the rules and regulations regarding
practitioners. Dr Gilligan took a pro
minent part in establishing order in
his community in the pioneer days.”
1 ‘That was a glorious decision render
ed by the surpreme court of Nebraska
when it was held that the anti-trust
laws of the state were legal,” is the
opinion of the Nebraska City News.
“It was a suit brought against the
grain trust and will forever knock
them out of business and should be
the means of landing a few of the
promoters in the penitentiary. The
decision clearly says that the acts of
the Nebraska grain dealers were illeg
al. The farmers particularly will
welcome this decision, as it means
more directly to them than to anyone
else. They have claimed from the be
ginning that the combination depress
ed the price of grain on an average of
two cents per bushel. There was no
competition at any of the elevators
and the farmer could sell at the price
offered or haul his grain home. The
yield of 1906 is estimated by the gov
ernment as follows: Com 244,000,000
bushels; 42,000,900 bushels wheat; 79,
000,000 bushels of oats; 6,900,000
bushels of barley; 2,500,000 bushels of
rye. This makes an Immense number
of bushels. Figure that at two cents
per bushel loss to the farmers and
then you can comprehend what the
decision means.”
The Norfolk Press is of the opinion
that the decision of the surpreme
court in the grain trust case is likely
to have a far reaching effect. There
are many similar organizations in the
state whose object, disguise the fact
as they may, is to control prices and
every one of them is amenable to the
Junkin law.Public sentiment is arous
ed on this question as it has never
been before, and officers are more in
clined to heed the demands of the
public. There is likely to be some
thing doing in the courts in the near
future. _____
The Omaha Bee calls attention to
one vicious result of the sensational
ism with which the yellow journals
have invested the Crowe trial as seen
in the attendance in the court room of
large numbers of young boys attracted
by curiosity to see the notorious prison
er. “The seed of the old yellowback
dime novel that was responsible for
turning out so many boy bandits,”
says the Bee,“has simply been trans
planted to vile sheets that thoughtless
people admit as newspapers into their
homes without realizing the poison
they pour daily into the susceptible
minds of the youthful members of
their household.”
An exchange puts it this way: A
boy was sent for a pail of water. It
was necessary to prime the pump each
time and give a dozen or more strokes
at the handle to start the water. He
poured in the priming and pumped
out as much as he bad poured in. Then
he stopped to rest and the prime ran
down again. After two or three hours
of alternate pumping and resting he
concluded it did not pay to pump,
therefore he quit in disgust. The
story reminds us of a merchant who
advertised a few weeks and then stop
ped awhile, allowing the people to for
get him in his business before he ad
vertised again, and concluded that it
did not pay to advertise. The fact is
that the pump lost the priming while
he rested. _
Burkett’s Lucky Seat.
Washington letter to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat: Of the younger and
new members, none promises better
than does Senator Elmer J. Burkett,
of Nebraska. He has made no sensa
tional speeches nor tried to curry favor
in any particular quarter. He has
been in his seat every day, and has
given attention to his committee work
such as few senators have been able to
do. Burkett is young enough and has
strength and vitality enough to apply
himself and dig through the intrica
cies of legislative tangles as have few
of his colleagues.
He was one of the youngest men in
the house of representatives when he
began his six years of service there
and was fresh from the fields. Now
he comes to the senate with the same
distinguishing mark of youth. When
Burkett went to the house of represen
tatives he found his old friend, J. P.
Dolliver, occupying a seat in that
body. They had known each other in
Iowa, and Dolliver fixed it so that
Burkett got the seat beside him in the
house. In succeeding session Burkett
tried successfully to retain the seat.
Of course, there was the regular draw
ing for seats, and several times Bur
kett found himself among the last to
get a little numbered ball which en
titled him to a seat. But, through a
clever series of manipulations and
trading, he always landed back to his
old desk within a week after the ses
sion began, Burkett got to have al
most a superstitious feeling about his
seat and that of Mr. Dolliver. Th°y
clung together in those two seats for
five years, and then Dolliver was elect
ed to the United States senate after
narrowly missing the nomination for
vice president at Philadelphia.Burkett
always contended that there was luck
in the seats, and when Dolliver went
to the senate he said it was a full
vindication of his assertion in that
connection.
A year later and Burkett was him
self sent to the senate. Many of the
western members of the house of rep
resentatives know why Burkett look

Sick Headache.
This distressing ailment results
from a disordered condition of the
stomach. All that is needed to effect
a cure is a dose or two of Chamber
lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets. In
fact, the attack may be warded off, or
greatly lessened in severity, by taking
a dose of these Tablets as soon as the
first symptom of an attack appears.
