A former commissioner of Indian
affairs says it Is time to citizenlze the

dignity to be conferred just yet.
Gov. Wilson has put a crimp In the
expectations of Washington society
swells by eliminating the grand dance
from the inaugural program. If the
New Jersey governor does nothing
worse than upset Washington society
during bis term as president nothing
hard will be said of him.
The selection of United States sen
ators as done In Nebraska Is a quick
and satisfactory way of settling It.
Until the present plan was adopted It
was a three month’s fight in the legis
lature electing a senator. The elec
tion of Congressman G. W. Norris to
a seat In the national senate by the
legislature of this state was a mere
formality. _
There Is lots of freak legislation
suggested on the subject of marriage.
A Nebraska builder of laws and stat*
utes now wants it fixed so prospective
bridal pairs must publish notice of
their Intentions to apply for marriage
license, in addition to furnishing ped
igrees that they are thoroughbreds.
With a reasonable degree of care on
the part of the probate judges, the
present laws are adequate, so why
hedge up the way still more for the
bachelors and maids, of which there
are now too many? i
Nathan Srtaus has gone to the
Noly Land with a corps of doctors
and nurses on the philontbrophlc
mission of healing the sick and feed

ancestors. Straus is an Israelite that
has made a great heap of wealth in
'this mllllonare age, but he is a fine
example of the faetlthat the possession
ofimlllions needmot necessarily render
the owner wholly selfish. He says:
"The poverty I have Seen In
Jerusalem and elsewhere in Palestine
oonvlnoes me that there Is no better
way to do good work than to help
those unfortunate people’’.
Fremont Tribune: Representative
Norris, Nebraska’s senator elect, was
was one of the Arohbald Impeachment
committee of the house. It was also
he who lotroduoed the resolution
demanding an investigation of charges
against the federal jourlst. Mr.
Norris has been doing a good
many things to lift the pubiio service
toa higher level. Institution of these
impeaohment proceedings and dehorn
ing the speaker will stand as twp ol
the conspicuous performances of Mr.
Norris during his service In the lowei
house. In a few days the Nebrasks
legislature, in conformity to the will
of the people expressed last fall, pro
mote hint lo the senate. There is
every reason to believe that Senatoi
Jtorris will render servloe equallj
valuable to that given by Representa
tive Norris. He will, Indeed, have
larger opportunities than hithertc
and his friends feel assured that hi
will rise to his opportunities in i
creditable manner.

prise and satisfaction that on report

that they had not only fared well in

This seems to forecast an "era of
Rood feeling” in] the senate thru tbe
ooming session, resulting in more ac
compllsbed for the people and less
partisan jockeying than in any pre
vious session of the legislature.
The 91 bills Introduced in tbe senate
covered a wide range of subjects many
of them of large importance.
Among these may be noted with in
terest S. F. 1. by Hoagland—Working
Men’s Compensation Act; 3 by Ollls—

sponsibility of the board of control
for tbe state institutions created by
the recent constitutional amendment:

Bartling—Voting by mall by citizen
absent from home on election day; 21
by Bartling—Sunday base ball bill
optional with each locality; 37 by Mo
Farland, employers’ liability law; 5i
by Smith—providing for Count]
ownership of telephones; 81 by Tal
cott, ratifying constitutional amend
ment for direct election of United
; States senators. '
Of the 202 bills introduced in th<
i house, many are of state wide im
) portanoe, while a considerable numbei
> are as usual, tbe result of the desiri
I of localities or individuals to amenc
) or enact a law on some subject o
I merely local importance.
Among those that may be of genera
> importance thruout the state th<
s following may be given speoial nottci
3 H. R. 1. by Hardin, enacting th<
i revision of tbe Nebraska statutes a
prepared by theondlfloation committee

Fallstead provides for Industrial In
surance by the state; 200 by Cronin,
empiopers’ liability law; 201 by Cronin,

Perhaps the most absorbing matter
of public interest during the week
has been In the connection with the
appointment of the board of control for
state institutions by Gov. Morehead.
A wide-spread contest involving many
applicants has been waged for weeks
for the three positions constituting
this board. For sometime it has
been the belief that the Governor In
tended to name Henry Gerdes of
Falls City, democrat, Tom Smith of
York, democrat, former warden of
State Penitentiary and Chas. Gregg,
republican of Kearney. The Bryan
wing of the democratic party have
been very much opposed to the
appointment of Smith, and left no
stone unturned to block this selection
at the hands of the Governor. That
they met with some measure of suc
cess was indicated 'when on Friday
evening, Governor Morehead announc
ed the selection of Gerdes and Gregg
as above named and former Governor
Ashton O. Shallenberger to the place
sought by Smith, giving Smith a con
solation prize in the form of appoint
ment of chief deputy oil Inspector.
The complications resulting from
the above appointments were in ho
wise cleared by the news received the
following day at the Governor’s office
from former Governor Shallenberger,
in whloh he courteously but firmly
declined to accept the appointment
tendered by the Governor.
The democratic politicians who lay
claim to wisdom and knowledge,
assert that as a result th$> whole
matter is again up in the air, jnclud
the oil inspectorship, and that fhtthei
developement must be awaited before
prediction can be made as to the
personel of the board.
University removal is fast coming
into sight as one of the big fights oi
the session, there being apparently i
lot of sentiment on both sides of the
question, and the interests at stake
are so large and so various that thii
subject may easily assume the positior
as the leading bone of contention it
the current session.
On Tuesday, Jan. 21st, the twe
houses will vote separately for Unltec
States senator, and on Wednesday
will varity the vote in joint session
As Hon. Geo. W. Norris, has the
pledge, under the Oregon plan, o
more tban four-fifths of the entlri
membership his election as Unltec
States senator on Wednesday is at
absolute oertaihty.
