    CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
flu Mr. Pollard's Assistants Oppasa a
Direct Priirarj to Namlnat!.
The Lincoln News in summit'. up
the conditions that exist as to the
policy that will be pursued in the
nominating conventions of the repub
lican party this year, say.s:
"The principal reason why the com
mittees as now constituted are gen
erally opposed to a direct primary Is
that they are composed of practical
politicians and men who have secured
office under preseut conditions, and
they realize well that the direct pri
mary Is Rolntf to shear the politicians
of much of their power. Take the
personnel of the First district con
gressional committee. Committeeman
McCartney, of Otoe county is post
master at Nebraska City. Commit
teeman Ilyers, of Lancaster county, Is
postmaster at HavelocV. Committee
man Cooper, of Richardson county,
recently secured the appointment of
his son as postmaster at Humboldt
Committeeman Schappel, of Pawnee
county, is confidently expecting ap
pointment as postmaster at Pawnee
City. Committeeman Clapp, of Cass
county is an old political wheelhorse
whose son Is private secretary to Con
gressman Pollard. Committeeman
Howe is a member of the legislature
and a practical politician. This leaves
but one other man, Committeeman
Reynolds, of Johnson county. lie was
mixed up in some kind of a postoflice
tight recently, but Is quoted as being
in favor of a direct primary.
"The truth is that the direct pri
mary is not expected to come through
political committees. The experience
Lincoln people had with petting the
direct primary eleven years ago con
vinced us of that. It was necessary
here to call a mass meeting, resolve in
favor of the direct primary and then
call the committee before the meeting
and force the recalcitrant majority to
accept the new order of things."
Berge for Attorney General.
At this stage of political activity In
Nebraska great care should be exer
cised in nominating a candidate for
attorney general, says the Omaha
World-Herald.
. The anti-rail road forces or Nebraska
can point with pride to the achieve
ments to that oflice under the admin
istration of C. J. Smyth. Magazine
writers and newspaper paragraphers
are lauding Hadley of Missouri to the
skies for the big fight against the
Standard Oil company.
Mr. Smyth put up a more effectual
fight against this corporation, but the
people were smoking the pipe of com
merclal security and dollars were all
they had time to think about and Mr,
Smyth's efforts were for nought and a
corporation plugger was elected In his
place.
We have in mind a man who has the
proper qualifications for another Had
ley. George W. Berge If elected to
the office of attorney general will bring
some of the piratical crews who are
sailing over the black Hag and cross
bones into the port of legitimate trade
or banish them entirely.
At this date we believe the office of
attorney general is even more import
ant than governor. The supreme
court has just held that we have an
excellent anti-trust law, and all we
need Is a sincere state lawyer to en
force It.
'Dipso" Law Is Legal.
A special from Lincoln of the date
of Monday says: "Attorney General
Brown this morning riled a brief in
the supreme court upholding the legal
ity of the dipsomaniac law. He argued
that the law should be sustained be
cause it was a benefit to mankind. The
brief was filed in the habeas corpus
proceedings of William A. Simmons of
Dawes county."
He Won't Run.
A man In Nemaha county had about
made up his mind to become a candi
date for clerk of the district court,
and was talking to bis wife about It.
"See here, John," she replied, "I've
lived with you about fifteen years and
have bad a fair opinion of you and
don't want It spoiled now. I don't
want to learn that you were In a pen
itentiary several years for burglary; I
don't want to hear how you nearly
beat your poor father to death, and
tried to swindle him out of his prop
erty. If you came near being hanged
in Indian Territory and had to leave
Iowa for murder, I don't cure to hear
It all threshed over at this late day.
You can run for clerk of the court if
you choose, and If elected the first case
on the docket will be Mary vs. John,
suit for divorce; grounds, the defend
ant has three living wives and is an
escaped convict. And by that time, 1
can prove It, John."

THE FOURTH OF JULY 1906
Will PlattsmouthTry to Make Arrangements
for i Big Celebration on that Day.
It Is only a little over two months
till the great natal day, and It Is not a
day too soon to begin making arrange
ments for a celebration, if we expect
to have one. If we get up a celebra
tion we must depend upon a certain
class of the business men taking part
in It and furnishing the money to pay
the expenses, while the others lay
back on their oars and rake In the
money from those who come to town
on that day.
It has been two years since Platts-
mouth celebrated, and this is our year
to do so, and now Is the time tu start
the ball to rolling. Ity arranging now,
we will then have the opportunity of
securing the "pick and choice" of ora-
tors. the best music and attractions of
all kinds. We should have a celebra
tion this year that will not only be a
credit to the city, but one that will
cause the visitors to talk about Platts-
mouth for months In the future.
If we can get the ball to rolling lirst,
or before anv of the smaller towns of
the county begin preparations, they
will give up the Idea and all make ar
rangements to celebrate In Platts
mouth, and make it a genuine Cass
county lovefeast.
Let us don our Stars and Stripes
working harness and began to move In
the direction of the biggest celebra
tion on the Feurth of July, HW, that
was ever held in Cass county. Don't
stand back, but tell us what ou think
about the proposition.
A Costly Dog.
A transcript of a case entitled Win,
Mickle vs Emily J. Kellog was tiled
with District Clerk Robertson Mon
day. The action was brought
by plaintiff for the possession of one
black rat terrier dog, valued at $1.1.0'i,
and has been tried before the justice
of the peace at Kim wood, Greenwood
and,Avoca. The costs thus for have
amounted to $"0.OO, and by the time
the right of ownership is decided, the
parties to the case could have secured
several dogs at a less cost than this.
Hunting for a Candidate.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Bee adds the following contri
bution to congressional politics in this
district:
"The leaders of the so-called ma
chine here say it would be easy enough
to get the right candidates out if they
only knew what to do. They have not
settled on a gubernatorial candidate
and neither have they settled on a
senatorial candidate. As far as the
congressional candidate is concerned
they are also at sea. There Is no
luestlonthat the leaders of the ma
chine would like to beat Pollard, but
the trouble is they don't know whether
they can w ith a Lancaster man. Sen
ator Burkett, who has some Influence
in Lancaster politics, might take a
hand under cover to help out Pollard,
or rattier to see mat no Lancaster
man got the job, for it is to his Inter
est, to keep the congressman out of
Lincoln. In fact the politicians are
up against an unknown force and ap
parently they are unable to figure out
how to begin the attack."
Flossie Hathaway Burned.
People of Union and vicinity will
regret to learn of an accident that
came near resulting In the death of
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Hathaway who lived here a number of
years and now reside at Beaver Cross
ing, Seward county. A Saturday dis
patch from Seward reports the acci
dent af follows:
"Fifteen-year-old Flossie Hathaway
of Heaver Crossing Islylng at the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Hathaway, suffering from the effects
of severe burns about the head and
face. She was lighting a tire and used
herosene to hurry It along. An explo
sion occurred and her clothing caught
lire. He fore the names could be ex
tinguished she was badly burned. Her
condition Is still serious, although It
Is believed she Is out of danger."

AND STILL IT GROWS
With a Fair Usiscre of Prcspsritj Since
the Republicans Cai.e Into Powr.
When the republicans and the rail
roads enacted a new revenue law in i
Nebraska, says the Fremont Herald, j
they said it was for the purp s of re-
ducing the state debt.
Hut the promise lias never leen
made good. Instead of reducing the
enormous state debt, the railroad-republican
state otV.eials have constantly
Increased the debt.
A few days ago State Treasurer
Mortensen published a statement of
the state debt. He admits that the
state Is now paying lotrjst on over
due warrants In the sum of more than
two million dollars. He admits nearly
a half million of other Indebtedness,
but if he would Include all the Items
of Indebtedness the total would per
haps run over three million dollars.
We will admit that Nebraska has
had a fair measure of prosperity since
1S!, and yet according to the state
ment of Treasurer Mortensen, the
state of Nebraska has been constantly
running into deeper debt, notwith
standing the fact that under the ope
rations of the new revenue law the
people have in many cases had their
taxes doubled.
If in times of admitted prosperity
the railroad-republican machine In
charge of the state offices penults the
state to plunge deeper and deeper Into
debt, what would happen if we should
have a season of financial depression
and hard times?
The figures published by the .state
treasurer ought to awaken the people
of Nebraska to the fact that there has
been an almost criminal waste of pub
lie funds by the men now in charge (if
state affairs.
So May It Be.
Some of the democratic press Is call
ing upon the party leaders to call the
state convention at a date in advance
of that set for the republican meet ing.
We hope their advice will be heeded
It is high time that our party ceased
to play .second fiddle to the g. o. p., the
pops or anvthing else. Let us have an
early convention, name a ticket com
posed of our very best timber, men in
whom the people have confidence, and
put them upon a platform declaring
for a more economical, businesslike ad
ministration than we have been hav
ing, one demanding Just freight rates
and equal taxation. Such a course
would put new life into the party and
make Its inllucnce felt In public affairs
as never before in the history of our
state. How ells Journal,
Telephone Extensions.
A special from Nebraska City says:
"The directors of the Nebraska City
Telephone company will expend 2.V
000 this summer In Improving Its tol'
line connections. The toll lines be
tween this city and Lincoln are being
entirely rebuilt and copper circuit toll
lines will be constructed south from
this city to Julian to connect with the
Auburn Independent company and
north to I'nion to connect with the
I'iattsniouth company. The exchange
at Berlin is to be remodeled and en
larged. It Is understood that these
improvements are to be the first of a
series of expenditures that the Inde
pendent company expects to make in
the direction of improving its proper
ty." An Editor Gets Married.
The editor of the Caylord (Okla. )
Sentinel took unto himself a better
half, and blowsabout his Independency
In writing the same up as follows:
"This Is the tirst instance in several
years of newspaper work that the writ
er has dared to tell the truth about a
wedding for fear of getting licked, and
does so with a keen relish. The bride
groom Is an editor, and Is not a popu
lar and accomplished leader of society
In fact, he doesn't know as much
about it as a rabbit. Ills hair Is red,
and the freckles on his face crowd each
other for room. In the dusk It Is hard
to distinguish him from a telephone
pole. He has never considered that
the future lookedvery bright or prom
islng It has always kept him too busy
paying his board bills to have any
dreams about future greatness. He Is
Just a common sort of a fellow, and
claims distinction only In that he Is a
Kansan from the soles of his clumsy
feet to the top of his head. The bride
Is the youngest dgughter of Mr. and
Mrs. N.J. White, and was born and
raised In Solomon Valley. Judging
from the job she has taken on her
hands, she Is a young lady of more than
ordinary nerve."

THE JUDGMENT IS REVERSED
The Supreme Court Decision in the Matter
of the M. P. Railroad vs Cass County.
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE COMPANY
It Is the Duty of a Railroad Company to
Make and Keep in Repair Suitable
Crossings.
In the case of the Missouri Paeilic
company against I'ass county the su-
promt court has decided that under
section 1 10 chapter 7 of the compiled
statutes it is the duty of a railroad
company to make and keep in repair
suitable crossings with approaches not
withstanding the highway that was
laid out after the railroad was built.
The public authorities are required to
build that part of the highway within
the right of way which they would
have been required to make had the
railroad not been constructed. I'nder
the provisions of the statutes a rail
road company cannot recover damages
from a county for the cost of putting
In cattle guards, erecting sign posts,
building wing fences, planking the
track and constructing the necessary
approaches at a public crossing. Com
pensatory damages should be allowed
tor tin; land taken from the right of
way for a public road. Where, in mak
ing the proper approaches to the rail
road track It Is necessary to grade
throiiL'h all or nearly all the width of
the riu'lit of way, on eit her side of the
t rack, the railroad company should he
allowed Midi tor damages as tiie coun
ty would have been compelled to ex
pend in grading the public road had
the railroad never been built.
A judgement for the railroad com
pany for one cent damages awarded by
the district court of Cass county is re
versed and the cause remanded. The
railroad company had tiled a claim for
damages on account of the crossing of
Its right of way by section line road.
Appraisers awarded the company the
sum of $-j0 but the county board re
fused to allow any damages, and the
case was appealed to the district court
of Cass county, resulting in a verdict
for one cent damages.
Summer School.
Dr. II. K.Wolfe, of the State Uni
versity, has quite an Interesting arti
cle In the April numberof the Univer
sity Journal on "The. Intercollegiate
Summer School," from which we take
the following extract:
"While this is obviously true of sec
ondary school teachers, it is, in fact,
even more essential that grade teach
ers keep the spark of enthusiasm alive
by occasional contract with those en
gaged In actual investigations. Kaily
association with the Immature minds
of our pupils tend to color our views of
the world and Its great Interests to
such an extent that we soon lose our
vigor and indeed sometimes seem to
be merely a part of a great machine
which is moved not by ourselves but
by some outside power. This state of
mind is indicative of stagnation, and
presages mental ankylosis. If we
would spare the school board the dis
agreeable duty of lopping otf a diseased
member of the teaching corps, the
malady should be attacked in its IncI
plcncy.
"Not all schools directly reward the
teacher who shows a desire for growth
Hut Indirectly, by means of Increased
power, most progressive teachers soon
differentiate themselves from their
fellows and met with appropriate re
ward. Superintendents of cities and
counties recognize the efforts of their
fellow workers toward self Improve
ment more readily than do school
boards. They know better than any
one else the value of enthusiasm and
fullness of life. They would rather
have a growing teacherof anyagc than
a "grown" teacherof however great
accomplishments.
, "Attendance upon a strong stimmc
; school ought to have some pecuniary
recognition from school Imards. I!ut
after nil the teacher gets most benefit
and most of us feel that our profession
partakes largely of the missionary
character, hence not dollars but duty
is the strongest motive for the requir
ed temporary sacrifice. 1 believe that
every teacher with less than three
years experience should attend the
best available summer school. 1 fur
ther believe that every teacher should
I spent six weeks once In three years In
some uiKii ciass vacation school, where
new Ideas of professional value may be
assimilated, and where the spirit of
progress In her ow n favorite subject
may oe revived. '
