J. E. Wilson, a prominent ranchman
residing near Alliance, was struck and
seriously injured by an automobile
driven by his son, last week, while
walking to his ranch. After knocking
the old man down the son continued on
his way without stopping to ascertain
the extent of the father’s injuries. His
excuse when notified of the accident
was that he didn’t know that the man
he had struck was his father. Drivers
should be careful to avoid running
down relatives when speeding. Others
don’t matter so much.
The storm of Monday and Tuesday
played havoc with telephone and tele

the storm reports of the Northwestern
Telephone company. This vicinity,
fortunately however, was not in the

THE OLD GUARD
RELINQUISHES TO THE NEW t
A simple ceremony, sad, and im
pressive because of its momentous im- ,
port, was that at Atkinson last week ,
when the members of the Grand Army J
of the Republic post turned over the ,
instruments of its once famous martial j
band to John Farley post of the (
American Legion, also of Atkinson. ,
It wasn’t much of a band as bands go ,
nolwdays, perhaps, only three old bat- ;
tered drums, a base and two snares, ,
and a couple of dented fifes, but it ]
and others of its kind played the kind ]
of music that has stix-red the hearts of j
men for ages and caused them to ,
march fearlessly, even cheerfully, to (
their deaths. The Grand Army vet- j
erans surrendered the instruments be- .
cause there are not enough of the old ,
comradesteft to play them any more. ,
The men who once thrummed the
drums and thrilled the fifes are mostly ,
gone, and in a very few years taps !
will be sounded over the last member '
of -the G. A. R. and veteran of the j
civil war. The drums and fifes ari
symbolical of the things for which the
members of the Grand Army fought ;
and for which they stand. They are
symbolical of the things for which the
members of the American Legion (
fought and for which they stand, and
it is fitting that the old soldiers should
LUX ll biiesrc uiuma aim mao u vci ih«
new. The old guard is relieved and the
new mounts guard over the destinies
of the republic.
“At one time,” said Commander
Greeley, in the presentation, “there
was a full drum corps of Post mem
bers. But that is no more, and the
old boys feel that with these young
warriors of today they have an herit
age in common and that they must
carry on where they leave off and lay
down the glory of devotion and the
burden of sacrifice.
“This body of younger men realize
what this sentiment embodies, this
disposition on the part of the greatest
pariotic organization to turn over to
them the task of carrying on.
“They have pledged themselves to
uphold and defend the Constitution of
the United States of America; to
maintain law and order; to foster and
perpetuate a one hundred per cent
Americanism; to inculcate a sense of
individual obligation to the community,
state and nation; to combat the auto
cracy of both the classes and the mas
ses; to make right the master of
might, to promote peace and good will
on earth, to safeguard and transmit
to posterity the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy; to consecrate
and sanctify comradeship by devotion
to mutual helpfulness, to preserve
the memories and incidents of their
association in the great war.
“Surely the Grand Army is putting
on capable and worthy shoulders the
tasks they surrender.”
The American Legion at their last
meeting, on motion incorporated in
their minutes sincere thanks to the
G. A. R. for the gift of the fifes and
drums, and instructed their Adjutant
to see that the same was acknowledged
publicly.”

VIVISECTING THE SIXTH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
When the inhabitants of the Mis
souri river and Salt Creek bottoms o:
southeastern Nebraska are not regu
dating the spiritual and physical wel
fare of the people of the producing
section of Nebraska they generally an
engaged in tampering with its po
litical divisions and attempting t<
jerrymander them into annexes oi
southeastern sections so that none ol
the west or of the north mav have s
voice in the government. The con
gress has defeated a bill to increase
the membership of the national house
of representatives to conform to the
increase in population of the country
officially recognized by the last census,
which means that instead of the peo
ple having more congressmen to rep
resent them the congressmen are each
going to have more people to repre
sent. It also means that Nebraska is
to have but five congressmen where
formerly six grew and flourished.
With that acumen a natural pos
session of graduates of the state uni
versity and Peru normal school the
statesmen of the south and east sec
tions of the state were quick to per
ceive that the old congressional dis
tricts must be wrecked and five new
i nes builded from the wreckage of the
six. Who more fitted to build them
than they? And Echo answers dam
firo. Accordingly Representative W.
R. Mellor of Lincoln, who is one of the
holy city’s statesmen in the lower
house of the legislature, has presented
i tentative draft of the proposed five
lew congressional districts. The legis
lative directory gives Mr. Mellor’s oc •
,-upation when he is not legislating as
‘retired.” The population of Lincoln
nostly is made up of the “retired.” In
Lincoln are to be found retired farm
?rs, retired merchants, retired bank
ers, retired secretaries of the state
air board and retired office holders,but
here are no retired politicians. Aftei
\ man V»o<rinc livinn* in T.i nn/Vln hrv
lever i-etires from politics. He retires
’rom everything else to stay in poli
ces. He is retired in the same sense
;hat an auctioneer is a colonel. The
dan of redistricting proposed by Mr.
del lor is very simple. It lines the five
iew districts so that the centers of
opulation of all of them will be east
>t the west line of Hall county, of
Jrand Island is the county seat, and
;ractically provides that Nebraska’s
ve congressmen shall come from the
owns of Lincoln or Falls City, Omaha,
Fremont, Kearney and Grand Island.
Phis will bring them directly within
he zones of influence of the Burling
on and Union Pacific railroads, the
•ig banks and public service corpora
ions and those whose welfare is of
ar more importance than is the wel
are of the farming, dairying and live
stock sectionsof the state. Incident
rrfy- c-Jicrry, Holt, Brown, Rock, Key a
3aha and Brown counties are taken
>ut of the old Sixth congressional dis
rict by Mr. Mellor’s plan and located
n the Third congressional district
vhose congressman then will come
rom Fremont or vicinity. The rest
f the Sixth is made into the new Fifth
listrict, with Kearney the congres
ion seat of government. The old
J’ifth is annexed to a few counties of
he old Fourth, so that the congress
nan must hail from Grand Island,
/incoln and Omaha will look after the
ilher two congressmen. The fact that
he jerrymandering of the old Sixth
iistrict is going to leave practically
lali’ of the state, and the half which
iroduces 85 per cent of the wealth of
he state, without any real representa
ion in congress, seems to worry Mr.
dellor, and those who prepared his
rheme of redistricting for him, not at
ill. But fortunately Mr. Mellor’s plan
s not final. Even though it is the
roduct of that “retired” master mind
t still must run the gantlet of the
egislature, after which it may look
•■'ther the worse for wear
Following is Mr. Mellor*-: scheme of
•rjil tw’f iro rr n<a niihHciVmH in thf* T in
■oln Journal of Sundayrtssue:
“The proposed redistricting plan
'ollows railroad lines. Generally
speaking, the North Platte country
would have three districts and the
■South Platte country two. Following
s a summary of proposed changes as
iffecting the several districts:
“First district—Retains all present
territory and takes in Gage, Butler,
Seward, Saline and Jefferson counties
now of the Fourth.
“Second District—Takes Saunders
from the Fourth and retains Washing
ton, Douglas and Sarpy counties. The
initial plan was to swing Burt county
from the third into the Second but op
position on the part of Representative
Webster of Tekamah, knocked that
plan in the head.
“Third District—Would lose Merrick
county to the Fourth, retains Burt,
Dakota, Thurston, Dixon, Cuming,
Dodge, Colfax, Stanton Wayne, Cedar,
Knox, Pierce, Madison, Platte, Nance,
Boone and Antelope. Swings far into
the western country to include from
the present Sixth district, Cherry
Brown, Rock, Holt, Keya Paha and
Boyd counties.
“Fourth District—Would lose Saun
ders to the Second district and Butlei
Seward, Saline, Gage and Jefferson tc
the First. Would retain Thayer, Fil
more, York, Polk, Hamilton and tak(
in all of the present Fifth swinginj
to the lower western boundry of th<
state. The Fifth would be lost en
tirely in the shuffle. The eighteei
counties which it would give to thi
Fourth are Clay , Nuckolls, Hall
Adam, Webster. Franklin, Kearney
Phelps, Harlan, Gosper, Furnas, Fron
tier, Red Willow , Hayes, Hicthcock
Chase, Dundy and Perkins. The Fourtl
also would get Merrick from th<
Third.
“Fifth District—Loses every!him
it had and takes over the followim
counties of present Sixth district
Sioux, Scottsbluff, Banner, Kimbal
Dawes, Box Butte, Morrill, Cheyenne
Sheridan, Garden, Deuel, Grant, Ai
thuh, Keith, Hooker,- McPhersoi
Thomas, Logan, Lincoln, Blaine, T oui
I Custer. Dawson, Buffalo, Shermai
, Howard, Valley, Greeley, Garfield
Wheeler.
“If such a plan is followed, Repre
; sentative McLaughlin of the Fourth
; be left in a peculiar predicament
His residence is in York county, which
is not one of the six counties lost by
the Fourth. As congressman elected
from the Fourth he would remain of
the Fourth but the five old counties re
tained in his district represent a popu
lation according to the 1920 census of
70,000, in round numbers.
“On the other hand, here would come
Congressman Andrews of the Fifth
into the Fourth with his eighteen
counties compact. He would bring a
population of nearly 200.000 or ap
proximately four times that of the
counties retained by Congressman Mc
Laughlin.
“Which of these men shall be the
congressman of the new Fourth if the
lines are finally drawn as proposed ?
“Congressman Reavis will not be
disturbed in the First. There’s no in
vading congressman to divide the
honors with Congressman Jefferis in
the First. Congressman Moses Kin
kaid does not take enough of his old
territory into the Third to disturb Con •
gressman Evans, Congressman Kin
kaid is, in fact, clearly out of it under
this plan unless he should be selected
for the new Fifth. It has been sug
gested that the Joseph G. Cannon of
Nebraska pick up his bed and baggage
and move into that great portion of
the Sixth which now is proposed for
the Fifth. 'Although the member from
the Sixth has threatened for eight or
ten years to drop out of it he still is
in the ring. Each time he has piled
up a bigger majority over his oppo
nent than the time before.
“While the plans submitted by Mr.
Mellor are expected to furnish founda
tion for congressional redistricting,
they are offered largely for the guid
ance of the committee and are subject
to change. The matter will again be
taken up when the committee meets
at 10 0. m. Monday.
census, the several districts as tena
tively proposed, would have the fol
lowing approximte populations:
First District . 265,413
Second District . 246,663
Third District . 274,797
Fourth District . 262,720
Fifth District . 246,809
“Using the 1920 census figures, the
first district now has a population of
173,458. Annexation as ,
would give it the jV>n---mg a““Jtional
population bv -^unties: Gage, 29,721;
tuti«r, 18,823; Seward, 16,867; Saline,
16,514; Jefferson, 16,140. A total in
crease of 91,965 and a grand total
population of 265,413.
“The Second district now has a
population of 226,074, according to
the 1920 census. Annexation of Saun
ders would add 30,589 or boost the
total to 246,663.
“The Third district would lose Mer
rick with its population of 10,763. It
would gain Holt, 17,161; Rock, 3,703;
Brown, 6,749; Cherry, 11,753; Keya
Paha, 3,594, and Boyd, 8,243, total
gain, 51,193. Deducting Merrick
leaves a total net gain of 40,430 or a
grand total population under the pro
posed draft of 274,797.
“The Fourth would lose 112,554 in
population in the loss of six counties
and would gain the entire population
of the present Fifth plus Merrick from
the Third. The population of the pro
posed new counties for the Fourth:
Merrick, 10,763; Clay, 14,486; Nuckolls
13,236; Hall, 23,733; Adams, 22,621;
Webster, 10,922; Franklin, 10,067;
Kearney, 8,583; Phelps, 9,900; Har
lan, 9,220; Gosper, 4,669; Furnas. 11,
657; Frontier, 8,540; Red Willow, 11,
434; Hayes, 3,327; Hitchcock, 6,045;
Chase, 4,939; Dundy, 4,869; Perkins,
3,967, a total of 192,978. Deducting
the population of the lost territory
leaves a total net gain of 80,424 for
(he proposed new Fourth.
“The Fifth as proposed, would have
the entire Sixth district population
minus 51,193 proposed for transfer to
the Third or a grand total population
of 246309.
“The national congress defeated the
bill to increase the total number of
congressmen by a vote of 436 to 483.
It decided that states appointment
should be in accord with population.
Some of the states have gained more
rapidly than Nebraska. Putting two
and two together, Nebraska legislators
assume that this state will be cut
down to five congressional representa
tives at Washington.”
