Theodore E. Nordgren
| Candidate for
^ Lieutenant-Governor
in Republican Primaries
Mr. Nordgren is a na
tive Nebraskan, 37 years
of age, who has devoted
his life to the business of
farming. He is well in
formed on all public ques
tions and a man of un
questioned integrity. He
represented Hamilton
county in the legislature
of 1 9 11 and supported all
progressive measures in
troduced in that session,
including the iniative
and referendum act under S
which the people vote di
rectly on such questions
as woman "suffrage and
prohibition. His home
paper, The Aurora Re
V B puDiican, says ui mm;
I B " “Mr. Nordgren’s strength is composed principally of
these elements: He is honest, courageous and well-informed;
he has had previous legislative experience and is thoroughly
I K familiar with parlimentary proceedure; he is young, vigorous
I ■ and a native Nebraskan; he is morally clean and politically
sound. His standing at home is such that he can go before
the people of the state serenely confident that no attack will
be made upon him from the rear. And there are thousands of
his neighbors ready to pledge their sacred honor that if ‘Ted’
Nordgren is entrusted with the dffice of lieutenant-governor,
or any other post of responsibility within the gift of the \
people, it will be administered faithfully, properly and in a
manner to reflect credit upon his constituents.”
The lieutenant-governor should be capable
of filling the office of governor if necessary.
Theodore Nordgren is such a man, and he
will appreciate your support.
A “Kiel Canal” for Great Britain,
connecting the River Clyde which
flows into the Irish Sea, with the Firth
of Forth on the North Sea side, was
recently discussed before the Royal
Colonial Institute as a necessary naval
measure.
Such a canal would open up naval
communications between the east and
west coast of Scotland, save warships
from the danger of hostile submarines
lurking among the numerous small un
inhabited islands of the Scottish coast
and put the great shipyards along the
Clyde at the disposal of the North Sea
fleet.
A resolution directing the attorney
general to investigate the Standard
Oil Company to ascertain whether the
rapid rise in gasoline prices is the re
sult of a violation of the antitrust law
by that corporation, introduced in the
United States Senate Thursday by
Senator Martine of New Jersey, was
adopted without objection.
By a vote of 35 to 23 the Senate in
effect declared the Standard Oil Com
pany a monopoly in control of the gas
oline supply. It rejected a motion by
Senator Gallinger, minority leader, to
table the preamble of Martine’s reso
lution, declaring “it is well known that
the gasoline market is controlled by
monopoly, namely, the Standard Oil
Company.
Poison caused the death of Mrs.
Thomas Nelson and her sister, Miss
Clara Mathews, in Dry Creek Town
ship, Vienna, Mo., last week, according
to the report of Dr. H. G. Bristow of
St. Louis University, who made a
chemical analysis of the viscera of the
two women.
Dr. Bristow, who made his report to
Prosecuting Attorney L. B. Hutchin
son today, did not state what kind of
poison caused the deaths. Hutchinson
instructed Dr. Bristow to complete the
analysis and report as soon as possible
no the nature of the poison discovered.
The Beumett immigration bill, twice
passed by both House and Senate and
vetoed both times, once by former
President Taft and the last time by
President Wilson, again passed the
House Thursday afternoon. The vote
was 38 to 87. The supporters of the
measure claim that the vote shows
that they have strength enough to
pass the bill over the president’s veto.
The German authorities are anxious
to capture or sink the British sub
marine which, under Commander
Boyle, destroyed vessels in the harbor
of Constantinople.
A message to the commanders of all
German warships says the govern
ment will grant a reward of 1000
marks to .each officer and man aboard
the vessel which captured or sinks this
British submarine, with Boyle and its
crew.
California now produces about three
times as many raisins yearly as Spain,
the home of the raisin industry
Growth of the American raisin in-,
dustry has reduced raisin imports from
38,000,000 pounds in 1885 to less than
3 000,000 last year, when California
produced 250,000,000 pounds.
Ella Monroe was held for the grand
jury at her preliminary hering at
Louisville, Ky., Thursday for the
murder of Miss Eva Gregory, a society
girl, who was shot to death while
riding horseback in Harding County
two weeks ago. Bail was fixed at $5,
000. Miss Monroe’s attorneys have
begun habeas corpus proceedings to
secure her release on the ground that
the bond is excessive.
Will Roy Dupin charged with being
an accessory because he had borrowed
from a neighbor the 28-gauge gun
which is said to have been used, was
dismissed, there being no evidence to
show he had any part in the crime.
The northeast section of Barton
County, Kansas, is said by farmers to
be seriously infested by the Hessian
fly, and several hundred acres of
winter wheat are being plowed under.
Antone Reif reports having already
plowed under 100 acres of wheat on
his place.
Representative Bailey of Pennsyl
cania, one of the close friends of W.
J. Bryan in the House, has introduced
a resolution to increase the presi
dential term to six years, with a one
term limit.
In a statement Mr. Baily said the
Democratic party and President Wil
son had been unjustly criticised in
connection with the single-term plank
of the Baltimore platform, and pointed
out that Mr. Wilson did not pledge
himself to one term, but merely was
pledged by the convention to the
principle.
Announcement was made at the
White House that Miss Alice Gertrude
Gordon, an heiress and former ward
of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, had an
nounced in New York her engagement
to Dr. Gary T. Grayson, United States
navy surgeon, and personal friend,
aide and physician to the president.
Miss Gordon’s acquaintance with Dr.
Grayson led to the meeting of Presi
dent Wilson and the then Mrs. Galt,
now his wife. Dr. Grayson introduced

her met Mrs. Galt.
Advices on the nature and extent of
the revolutionary movement said to
be led by Felix Diaz in Southern
Mexico continue to conflict as to facts*
Diplomatic dispatches today from
European legations in the Mexican
capital said the movement led by Diaz
himself was assuming formidable pro
portions and was distinctly anti
American. On the other hand, Gov
ernment investigatiors have reported
they had good reason to believe Felix
Diaz is not in Mexico at all, but hiding
in the United States, presumably in
New Orleans.
The fight against the foot and
mouth disease is over. The secretary
of agriculture issued an order, which
removes all foot and mouth quaran
tines and restrictions against ship
ment and movement of live stock. The
order specifically removes the quaran
tine from a small territory in
Christian County, Ulinios, the last
area under suspicion.
Along with the removal of this
quarantine the various federal orders
restricting shipment of cattle were
rescinded, so that dealers now can
ship cattle as before the first quaran
tine was imposed.

WHEN BIRDSMIGRATE.
Yearly Flight of the Wheatear From
Africa to Greenland.
Iu flying from Europe to Africa
birds cross the Mediterranean sea at
a point where the water is so shallow
that it is believed the two continents
were formerly connected there. The
land bridge, which it is thought for
merly guided the birds iu their flight,
has disappeared, but the habit of cross
ing at this particular place still re
mains.
How do you suppose the little wlient
ear, no larger than a bluebird, formed
the habit of migrating from Europe to
Greenland? Probably he comes by
way of England and Iceland, but at
the best it is a long journey and seems
to take the bird much farther than it
is necessary to go. In the autumn ho
goes back to winter iu Africa.
Doubtless some European water birds
visit us every year, but the wheatear,
so fnr as I know, is the only land bird
which migrates regularly between
North America and Africa. With this
exception, no North American land
birds leave the western hemisphere in
their migrations.
The birds of the western United
States are not such great travelers as
those of the eastern part of our coun
try. Some of them travel only from
the higher parts of the Rocky moun
tlans or Sierras, where they nest, to
the low. warm valleys in which fhey
winter.
Those that leave the United States
go into Mexico. Some continue their
journey as far south as Guatemala,
but few go farther south than that
They can, therefore, make their Jour
ney overland and so do not encounter
the dangers to wUlch many of our east
ern migrants are exposed.—Frank M.
Chapman in St. Nicholas.
MYSTERY OF THE MOLE.
He Lives In the Dark, Yet Yearns For
the Midday Sun.
There is a great mystery about the
moles. They live in the dark under
ground, but yet they are sun worship
ers. Just at the hour of noon, when
the sun is at its highest point in the
sky, the mole often comes to the sur
face. It is a habit of the race, a kind
of religious observance, one might
think.
Seldom does a mole willingly make
its appearance in the upper world at
any other time of the day, but at that
moment they come of their own ac
cord. This fact, which has been ob
served again and ngain, has never been
explained by naturalists.
But, remembering the common belief
that a mole Is blind, you may ask,
“How can it see the sun?” The myth
of the blindness of moles has been
brushed away. Some species perhaps
cannot see, but most of them can.
Their eyes are very small and hidden
in the fine hair, but they serve as or
gans of vision.
Still, they can have very little use
for them underground. Any leakings
of daylight that may penetrate there
must be extremely faint, and if their
eyes were meant to enable them to see
with so little illumination they ought
to be large and free from obstruction,
whereas they are minute and thatched
with hair. But such eyes may be par
ticularly well suited for an occasional
look at the blinding sun.—New York

CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEBRASKA SU

EXCELLENT RECORD.

Chief Justice Andrew M. Morrissey,
of the Nebraska supreme court, has
filed as a candidate for re-election.
Petitions for his candidacy from all
parts of the state, signed by several
thousand voters In excess of the 3,000
required by law, are In the secretary

On account of the excellent record

V - —i
CHIEF JUSTICE A. M. MORRISSEY
who has filed for reelectlon
the supreme bench and the manner in
which the work has been expedited
since he became its head, it is expect
ed he will have no serious opposition
for re-election. Under his leadership
the court has gained six months' time
on its docket during the last year, and
is now hearing and disposing of cases
more rapidly than ever before. Being
in the prime of life and in vigorous
health, Chief Justice Morrissey has
not only handled his own part of the
work in a manner satisfactory to liti
gants and to attorneys having cases
before the high tribunal, but some of
his energy has been Infused into the
entire machinery of the court.
Clear-Cut Opinions.
His judicial opinions are models of
dWar thinking concisely expressed.
Hie chief justice gets to the point of
a case without indulging in superflu
ous verbiage. This quality has won
for his decisions the undivided respect
and esteem of the legal profession,
which calling he has followed for
twenty years.
Between his associates on the su
premo bench and himself there has
been the utmost cordiality, and he en
joys their respect and good will. Dur
ing the incumbency of Chief Justice
Morrissey .nothing has been heard of
the personal animosities and disagree
ments which formerly existed between
members of the court.
Judge Morrissey is a native of New
York state. He came to Nebraska
twenty-five years ago and has lived
here ever since. Before coming to
Lincoln, his home was at Valentine.—
Lincoln Daily Star.
It will be well for voters to bear In
mind that judges are no longer nom
inated or elected on party tickets.
Nominations for judicial positions are
now made in a somewhat similar way
to the method employed in electing
city commisisoners in cities under the
commission system. The names are
printed on a ballot separate and dis
tinct from the regular party ballot, no
party designation is allowed, and the
candidate runs on his merits. Under
one system or another a number of
states have provided for taking the
courts out of politics. The same year
that we adopted our non-partisan law,
Minnesota passed an act which not
only takes the courts but alBO takes
the county offices and candidates for
the legislature off the party ballots.
In that state judges, county officers
and members of the legislature are
elected without a party designation
and in utter disregard of party affili
ation. Last year Iowa passed a non
partisan judiciary law very similar to
ours, and in the future party lines
will be disregarded in Iowa, as in Ne
braska.
This year we elect one chief justice
and three associate justices. At the
primary the voter is allowed to vote
for one chief justice and three asso
ciate justices, but there will be twic»
as many nominations as there are '
flees to All. Thus two candidate
