Havelock Hustler Shows 'Em Some
Campaign Hustling.
Gus Hyers splendid victory in the
primaries is peculiarly pleasing to a
strong element in political life. Be
ing a member of organized labor
Hyers had the support of union men,
and this support, manifested so
strongly in his own town, gave him a
long lead. In addition to his union
affiliations Hyers is a popular man,
making friends wherever he goes, and
always hustling.
When a man can poll 95 per cent of
the votes cast in his home precinct,
and make practically every democrat
register as a republican in order to
do it, there is grounds for the belief
that such a man is mighty popular
and worth tying to. That's what Gus
Hyers accomplished in his home town
of Havelock.
ED HOWE LEAVES.
Will Accept Foremanship of Daily in
Oklahoma City.
J. E. Howe, foreman of the Daily
Star ever since the establishment of
that newspaper, resigned his position
last week to accept a similar position
on a daily newspaper in Oklahoma
City. When he bade the Star com
posing force good bye the boys in
that and other mechanical depart
ments interrupted him long enough
to present to him a handsome gold
headed umbrella.
Ed Howe is known to the printing
fraternity throughout the length and
breadth of the land. For yeais he
was foreman of the Journal, and after
wards worked at the trade in Omaha.
He knows the business from the
ground up. He will associate him
self with Col. Edgar, formerly owner
of the Star, but now publishing a
daily paper in Oklahoma City. The
best wishes of a host of friends will
go with Mr. and Mrs. Howe to their
new home.
GIVES US A REST.
People Grow Weary of Eternal
Wrangling About Walks.
If somebody would bash that "four
foot line" thing hard enough to pre
vent it ever appearing in the council
manic ring again, that same one
would have eained the plaudits of a
weary people. That "four-foot line"
seems to be about all the city coun
cil can think of, and about all in the
way of municipal news that the daily
papers can find to print.
As a matter of fact Lincoln's city
council seems able to spend more time
on fool details and less time accom
plishing things worth while than any
similar body anywhere within the
confines of the republic. Every time
that body' meets that "four-foot line"
thing comes up, whereupon the daily
newspaper print columns of letters,
columns of comment and columns of
rot. In the meantime the water de
partment goes to seed, the police force
is inadequate, the park system
starved, the transportation problem
unsettled. Let a big problem worth
solving confront the council, and it
immediately adjourns or goes to
sleep. But just mention that "four
foot line" thing and there's hades to
pay and no pitch hot. Floods of ora-
tory are unloosed, pens are grasped,
pints of ink wasted.
Wherefore we again say that plau
dits and honors await him who will
bash that "four-foot line" thing over
the ropes.
