With that keen sense that char

saloons, even temporarily, was so
worded that it did not go into effect
until the legislature had adjourned,

to get out of town. Now, the peo

will have to do with "a dr' whistle"

Beatrice Sun: The Kearney
Hub devotes more than a column
of its editorial space to holding up
to Governor Sheldon,- "the boy gov
ernor," a glass wherein he can see
the folly of vetoing the appropria
tion bills which he cancelled and
which were intended to provide for
the Kearney normal school, the deaf
and dumb asylum at Omaha, the
soldiers' home at Grand Island and
the feeble-minded institute at Beat
rice. The attention of Governor
Sheldon is called to the fact that,
while he is naturally of sound mind
and physical development and while
he has been educated at the ex
pense of the state and was in posi
tion to render material aid to strug
gling and afflicted children, he has
shown that he is devoid of those
attributes of real manhood, the de
velopment of that kindness of heart
which should be a part of every ed
ucated man and are essential ele
ments in the make-up of a govern
or. One by one the bubbles burst.
One by one the dreamers are arous
ed from that stuper induced from
inhaling the narcotic fragrance shed
by a pot-house plant, and as they
rub their eyes they find things,
which they regarded as real, simply
a vision.
perfectest peace, but at the first sign
of encroachment every mother's

exploit theories which busy men of

A preacher who arrived from
Liverpool Wednesday to take a
place in the Rockerfeller church
states that he remained away ten
j-ears too long, as he might have
improved the past ten years much i
better in this country than in
Bryan on Bryanism.
William Jennings Bryan's de
fense, in Brooklyn, of what shallow
scoffers like to call "Bryanism" was
one of his happiest efforts, says the
St. Louis Republic.
The body of principles which he
has so forcefully and so eloquently
advocated from the rostrum and in
the press has for more than a cen
tury been the essence of the demo
cratic creed, which holds that all
men are created with equal sppor
tunities, that the equal rights
of all shall be preserved and special
privileges be granted to none, that
the government at Washington is
the creature of the Constitution , and
that it must not invade the rights
which the states reserved to them
selves when they ratified the Con
stitution. These principles lived before Mr.
Bryan and they will outlive him as
long as popular government lives
in the world. They lived in this
country long before Thomas Jeffer
son and the makers of the Consti
tution formulated them into a code
which the simplest citizen can read
as he runs.
They are principles for which the
great majority of the American peo
ple, without respect to party, are
ready to fight, if necessary, as Na-
tnaniel iiacon iougnt tor them in
Virginia in the first revolt against
British tyranny, 100 years before
the Declaration of Independence
was written.
What they call "Bryanism" made
Abraham Lincoln one of the three
greatest presidents this country has
produced. By borrowing from it,
here and there, President Roosevelt
has accomplished nearly everything
which, for a time, made him one of
the most popular of all the presi
dents.
It is a robbery of the fame of
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln,
to try to impute to Mr. Bryan a
copyright on "Bryanism." That
he has been foremost among the
democrats the last decade and more
is due simply to his thorough sat
uration with the only safe princi
ples of American government, and

A law passed by the late legis
lature authorizes the various coun
ties in Nebraska to establish a high
school, by a vote of the people of
the county. The county board is
the board of trustees to manage the
affairs of the school; 100 freeholders
may call the special election to vote
on the proposition. The county
board has the right to issue bonds
and levy taxes to construct buildings
and pay for the maintenance. In
no case shall the levy be more than
five mills on the dollar, not includ
ing interest on the bonds.
Col. Albright, who is organiz
ing a big tribe of Red Men in this
city, returned last evening. The
work of instituting the Tribe will
continue, the last two meetings to
be held on Friday and Saturday
nights, April 19 and 20, at the G.
A. R. hall, at 8 o'clock. On Friday
night the officers, as follow, will be
nominated and elected: Junior Sag
amore, Senior Sagamore and Sach
em. The Prophet will be appoint
ed by the Deputy Great Incohonee.
The degree team , consisting of Four
Warriors, Four Braves, First and
Second Sannap, two Scouts, Guard
of the Forest and Guard of the
Wigwam, will be selected by the
Sachem of the Tribe, who by virtue
of his office is presiding officer of
the Tribe. A Collector of Wam
pum, Keeper of Wampum and Chief
of Records will also be elected. On
Saturday night the Chiefs of the
the new Tribe, to be named by the
Tribe, will be raised up. For prac
tice, Mr. Albright will drill the de
gree team and instruct the officers
in their work. A full attendance,
of course, will be there.
The trouble in Lincoln is ended,
saloons are now open and doing bus
iness. The trouble arose over the
change in the charter which makes
the municipal year commence May
13, instead of April 13, as formerly.
The courts held that the change of
time extended the municipal j'ear
and that the saloon licenses were
extended to thirteen months, or the
end of the municipal year. Street
car traffic has fallen off wonderfully
between Lincoln and Havelock to
what it was several daj-s since.
The insurgents at' Kearney are
threatening to go into the courts to
set aside the veto of the boy gov
ernor, which kills their normal
school appropriation, on the ground
that Governor Sheldon did not act
in time. The records of the legis
lature, as falsified by that body,
show that the legislature adjourned
Thursday at noon, when as a mat
ter of fact it did not adjourn until
Saturday. If the governor dates
his action from the hour when the
legislature actually adjourned, he
was on time, but if he shall be gov
erned by the records he will have to
stop his clock and date his veto
back a few days.

It is said the resignation of John

If John Temple Graves really
wished to make talk by proposing
that Mr. Bryan place Mr. Roose
velt in nomination before the demo
cratic national convention in 1908,
he succeed abundantly. Hereafter
the said John Temple will be re
membered only as the man whom
made a pale gray goose of himself
with deliberation and without prov
ocation. Those who do not laugh
at him denounce him for his silly
proposition.
About two years ago an edict
come from the president declaring
that postmasters should be retained
in office when they had filled the
office for a previous term with merit
and efficiency. This caused a strife
and consternation among congress
men who claimed that this in effect
robbed them of their political pres
tige and would in many cases en
danger the re-election of members.
Mr. Roosevelt was unable to stand
the pressure, and a few days ago
revoked the order. The president
is mindful of the fact that he will
have no trouble next session of con
gress, and when it comes to a case
of politics and postage, the postoffice
and any other department efficien
cy therein have a secondary' consid
eration.
A man killed himself in an Oma

fear of something after death makes
us bear those ills we have, rather
than fly to others which we know
not of."

Thk democrats of Lincoln met in

ed Mayor F. W. Brown, who has
served in that capacity for the past
two years. Mr. Brown has filled
the position not only with credit to

William Jennings Bryan possi
bly gave the best solution of the
peace problem when he advocated
"That the time has now come when
the lending of money to a belliger
ent by a neutral state should be re
garded as being as objectionable as
furnishing the powder for the shot
and shell."
The St. Louis Globe Democrat
has at last been caught red-handed
telling a political truth: "By the
time Col. Bryan shall reach the
point of nominating Theodore
Roosevelt for president Senator
Tillman will be ready to name

Some of our people do not favor
the idea of holding a celebration in
! Plattsmouth on the Fourth of July
but no valid reason can be advanced.
Perhaps some of these close-fisted
fellows may think they will be ask
ed for a dollar or two to pay the ex
pense for such a celebration, but
are willing to reap the benefits to be
derived from the large number of
people who would gather here on
the occasion. One way to build up
a town is to invite the public to
visit you, treat the visitors well,
and then ask them to come again.
By all means let us celebrate this
year.
