Uncle Joe Cannon seems to be get
ting peevish in his old age and his
temper is just a little more peppery
every day. Of course running con
gress is not a job which would be con
ducive to sweetening a man's dispo
sition very much, especially in the past
few months, and it may be that Old
Uncle Joe thinks he has just cause for
tearing off a few cuss words under his
breath once in a while.
People out in the western part of
the state are threatening to divide
the state and annex themselves to
Wyoming if the capital is not moved
further west. Nebraska is a big state
and any man who does not feel that
he would like to remain in it has the
privilege of moving out and his place
will probably be taken by one who
knows how to appreciate a good thing.
There is not miuch doub but that
there will be every effort made and
no stone left untumrcd to punish Lin
coln for her action in the last election.
The Sccolo XIX, a newspaper print
ed in Italy, or somo other far away
isle, says that Mr. Roosevelt will
become a candidate for the presidency
if it is necessary. This information
was sent to the Chicago Record-Her
ald under a Walter Wellman heading
and so there you are. The Secolo
XIX may know what it is talking
about but we doubt it. We don't
believe that Mr. Roosevelt will
make any declaration along that line
until he has had a chance to personally
investigate the conditions from
closer standpoint than he now has.
If you arc thinking of taking a trir
to Lurope this summer it stands you
in hand to make up your mind pretty
quick for the steamers bound for the
old country arc crowded and accomo
dations arc engaged six weeks ahead,
The News editor was thinking o
knocking off a few days and call on
King Ed and sonic of the rest of the
nabobs over there, but as the stow-
away accomodations arc all taken we
will have to content ourselves with
trip to Nebraska City, where in fact
they have nearly as many living won
ders as they do in Europe, and many
of thorn just as great.
Henry T. Clarke, Jr., of the State
Railway commission has signified his
intention to file this week as a can
didate for reelection as commissioner.
Mr. Clark has made a mighty goot
official. He is a lawyer, and for that
reason his membership on the board
has been of inestimable value to the
staic because there arc so many matter
coming up all the time w hich need ad
justing that he has been able to tak
eare of.that the work of the commis
sion has been carried on more intelli
gently. Mr. Clark should receive the
nomination if foi no other reason than
that his past record deserves it. If
there is an official which has earned
his salary during the past two years
it has been Henry T. Clark, Jr. Al
way on the job and hustling, the
people of the state cannot find
better man.
The meeting of the Cass county E
itonal association has been called
for Tuesday, April 19th at Plattsmout
and the boys are to be the guests of
the Commercial club of this city at
a banquet m the evening. The com
mercial club of the city have Severn
mighty good hustlers who have been
placed in charge of the eat department
and the editors can be assured that
they will not go home hungry.
feature of the meeting m the after
noon will be a trip through the Bur
lington shops. This alone is worth
the price of admission for the boys
will sec some stunts pulled off by
Superintendent ' Baird's performers
which will open their eyes. Then too
President Ludi of the Nebraska state
editorial association will be present
to talk to the boys and also make a
speech at the banquet, and take it
all around the meeting will be a hum
mer.
Snow in the Black Hills Thursday
which fell for twenty four hours is
esponsible for thecongealcd condition
of the atmosphere in Nebraska yester
day.
President Taft got into the limelight
hursday and inaugurated the base
ball season in Washington by throwing
the first ball. He did a good job and
Washington won the game.
A farmer our in Utah deposited
five thousand dollars in an old stove
pipe in his barn in preference to put
ting it in the bank. The barn caught
fire and now the farmer has no money.
A few days ago he was taken suddenly
11 and fearing he was going to die
le called his wife and attempted to
tell her where the money was de
posited, but his mouth would not
work right and failing to pass over
the river lie concluded he would keep
us secret just a little longer. But
le Kepi n too long. lie now
las neither money nor secret. Both
lave gone up in smoke.
The suffragists did not help their
cause very much on 1 hursday when
at their big meeting in Washington
they hissed the president of the Unite:
states who was welcoming; them to
the city, because he expressed the fear
that if the tune came when women
should vote that the better class of
women would not care enough about
it to exercise the franchise and that
as a consequence the undesirable class
would control. In hissing the presi
dent for expressing an opinion am;
one that is an important one the wom
en assembled there showed they were
so prejudiced in favor of their own
cause that they could not respect the
opinion of even the president of the
tinted .States in an address of welcome
If the suffragists expect to take hoi
of the reins of government the first
thing they will have to learn is that
other people have opinions which they
have a right to express and that the
President of the United States is en
titled to respect when .addressing them
even if he does not exactly agree with
them. The one great question to be
considered is that there is little to
be hoped for in the way of intelligent
government from two elasscs of woni
en. One of these is the lower class
which the president alluded to as the
undesirable or sporting fraternity anil
the other is the four hundred of ou
lg mires which have little to do with
anything else but society and its claims
for them. Of course there arc excep
tions to every rule, but we believe
that if the time ever conies when wom
en will have the chance to vote, and
believe it will, that the great problem
which will have to be solved is the
one mentioned above.
Mr. Latta was elected. The question
is, where did the republican votes
come from that was necessary to elect
the democratic Mr. Latta and his
popular "check book." He wants
to know where the railroad "reaction
aries" are who fought George Sheldon
for governor two years ago. Accord
ing to a statement made in Bro.
aylor's paper sonic two months ago,
hey were leading the insurgent move
ment which instigated that insurgent
meeting at Lincoln which was adver
tised as the siinon pure article of in
surgency, and w hich was so badly in
flicted with railroad cappers that the
editor of the Nonpariel insurged from
the insurgent meeting and openly
accused the leaders of being the
worst railroad cappers in the state.
When a man gets off of the reservation
le has to be careful where he wanders
or he will cross hlfc own trail in his
wanderings and never know it.
The die is east. The game is on.
rom now on the first page that will
be turned to by the average reader
when he gets his morning paper will
be the base ball page. Politics will
lave to be a strenuous thing if it
noses out the base ball interest during
the next five months. The man who
picks up his paper will not now turn
us eyes to the first page and the big
scare heads to see what leddy has
done or said, but will hastily look for
the page of all pages which will con
vey to him the intelligence of why
the home train on a foreign diamond
did not win yesterday's game or why
the pitching phcnoni did not hold the
opposition team to a no hit no run
game. The bulletin board last night
howed that the team was shut., out
but that was ull, and it was a long,
ong night and an anxious wait until
ic heard the carrier throw the morning
paper on the front poieh. It is a sad
story that he discovers when he grabs
the paper and opens it: "Iron Arm
Macaroni the Pitching Phenom, batted
out of the box in the fatal Seventh.
Two home ruius and seven singles the
cause of his downfall." And after
he has read the horrible story he says
to the first fan he meets as he stops
for his morning cigars at the cigar
store down town: "I always thought
they would get onto that fellow be
fore he pitched many games. I tell
you it don't pay to pick up these
jushers and expect them to pitch win
ning ball." He forgets that it was he
himmelf who went wild when the
"Phenom" shut out the hated Punk-
town team in the opening game and
that he declared that "Manager Dead-
one could always tell a comer as soon
as he saw him in action."

The editor of the Central City
Nonpariel takes exceptions to the
statement of the News that it is the
continually knocking on the republican
party by the kickers that is responsible
for the Third congressional district
being represented by a democrat at
the present time. He seems to be real
agitated over the matter and flops
around in such an unseemly manner
that we arc led to believe that Editor
Taylor had brooded so much over the
insurgent matter that he is really not
responcible for what he says. The
condition in the third district is plan.
Ever since its organixation in its pres
ent form it has been represented by a
republican with we think two excep
tions, one of them being the present
incimbent. It stands to reison that
whin it has been represented by a
democrat it has been because he has
polled republican votes. No one ac
cuses the "standpatters" as Bro.
Taylor pleases to call them, of voting
against Mr. Boyd for his second term.
UNCLE JOE'S DECLINE.
Uncle Joe Cannon is going from
bad to worse. When he excoriated
the insurgents of the house inmmedi
ately following their refusal to depose
him from his office as speaker, though
they showed sufficient consideration
for him and for the party program not
to remove him and turn the legisla
tivc situation over to the mercy o
the political enemy he threw a chal
lenge in their teeth anil berated them
as cowards for doing what was clearly
a considerate and wise thing. Not
content with this show of feeling he
pursued a similiar course a day or
two ago when the house had under
consideration an item making an
appropriation for an automobile for
his use. He took the floor and again
taunted the insurgents and rciteratei
his detiancc. J. he insurgents again
showed their spirit by uniting
with the democrats in voting down the
appropriation. It was in the interset
of economy and besides that the iras
cible Uncle Joe made such a spec
taclc of himself as to forbid these
members showing any courtesy.
The speaker is making it impossible
for his friends to support him. In
permitting his temper to get the
better of his judgment he shows a la
mentablc weakness that is humiliat
ing to his party associates. It is de
plorable that he should come to such
an end. Fremont Tribune.
