Free liqour is being used in Havelock to get men above in a democratic paper, and especially is a paper whose editor was a member of that same legis lature and used his influence and vote to defeat that law, just put it down February. 28, 1910. It is rumored that Congressman Hinshaw may not be a candidate for rcnomination this fall. George W. Bergc has about made up his mind that the job of U. S. Senator will about be the proper caper for him to tackle. Somehow it looks to us as though that senatorial job was a little too big for George. Lincoln papers announce that Hon. E. M. Pollard will not be a candidate for congress this fall. We do not know where they get their authority to make such a statement. This paper has heard nothing regarding tho matter either for or against and in a letter received by us from Mr. Pollard this week he did not state whether he had changed his mind or not. He expects to reach here about April 15th. He is very busy with his business interests in Hayti and has had no time to dis cuss the matter. Judge Frost and his friends are trying to get Goerge Tobey to with draw from the congressional race in Lancaster county, in order that the Judge may have a plain road with no opposition. Mr. Tobey was the first candidate in the field and we fail to see where there is any argument which can be brought forward which would have weight enough to cause Mr. Tobey to with draw. In fact it looks to us like it was displaying considerable gall to ask Tobey to withdraw in favor of Frost or any other Lancaster county man. Last Saturday Mr. Commisky am his band of White Sox passed througl: Nebraska on a special train of their own for the training grounds in California. Mr. Commisky has had this train built especially for the use of his base ball team during the coming season and it will be some thing never before attempted in the history of base ball. They arrived in Lincoln at 3:25 in the afternoon over the Hock Island railroad and Mopped for a few moments to meet the fans of that base ball crazy city who marched in a body from Ed Young's bug house and fan factory down the 0 street boulevard to the Rock Island palace de rocko and awaited the arrival of the great man and his great and mighty aggregation There is an automobile show on up at Omaha' and as a result a man hai to keep both eyes open, both eas open and by rights he should have eyes in the back of his head resort wo bought a pair of glasses ith crooked lenses, which enabled us to sec around the corner about half block before we reached it.

Elm Creek, a town of some four or five hundred people in Buffalo county wants to change its name for the reason that the mail for that village gets mixed up with Elk Creek and several other Creeks in the state. it sounds too much like some little station on a side track somewhere, and they think if they can get some big sounding name that the town may be a big city some day. They are willing to pay five big iron dollars to some person who will send them a name that will have the right jingle to it and the sort of sound which will make people think that there is something doing all the time in that burg.

The county option aw lets the county by a majority vote decide whether they will have saloons or not.

Wilson of Polk delivered the fatal blow which killed little Willie. Ho tried to repacl a law which had nothing to do with the bill being passed and so the Dipso law goes to the junk heap which is now overly crowded with the same kind of material. Wil it ever end. The only important law which was passed by the late democratic legislature and which the democratic governor expects to make his campaign on was the eigh o'clock closing law and the records show that that bill was not a democratic bill but was opposed by a majority of that faith in both branches of the legislature, and but for the practi cally unainimous support of the re publican members would not hav passed. 'Twas ever thus. One of the Daily News carrier boys is building an air ship. It is not quite finished yet, but he is quite con fident that he can get it to fly dow: if he can once get it in the air. When he has got the thing to working in good Bhnpe so that a man can be assured that he won't bump too hard on the return trip we expect to take our friends all out for a ride. The News takes the lead in all things which tend to make things better and even a perusal of its columns will make the boozer booze no more the lame to walk and the aged grow young. It has been said that more marriages have taken place since the News began its daily visit to the majority voted against it, and does that record not show that the republ: can party is equally responsible for the passage of that law, and not only equally so, but in fact responsible for its passage.
