ernor Shallenberger is in every way worthy of the high honor and fully competent to reflect credit upon the state if elected to the sen ate of the United States. There were thousands of democrats who deeply regreted the fact that they could not vote for both of these splendid men. So, too, thousands of republicans regretted their inability to vote for both Brown and Norris." Senator Brown has acquitted him Belf with credit and he will retire from the senate with honor. But he went up against a precedent long established, and only once vio lated if we remember aright, giving a senator from Nebraska only one term. And, too, he fronted a progressive wave that paid little heed to past services and seemed to think most of big promises. Now that the primary is over suppose we take a rest from poli tics, at least until the national convention foregathers, and put in our time making Nebraska's resources known to the world. The world knows we raise politicians out here. Let us acquaint it with the fact that we also raise more corn to the acre, more wheat and oats to the acre, more sugar beets to the acre, than any other state ; that we produce forty million dollars worth of hay every year; that we produce more butter per capita than any other state; that we've got more money per capita in our permanent school fund than any other state, with possibly one exception ; that we are the third largest cattle producing state, with the third largest live stock market in the world. Everybody admis the political supremacy of Nebraska. Now let's set about making them admit our supremacy along productive lines. Our good friend, Dr. P. L. Hall, made it a runaway race for national committeeman on the democratic ticket, and came under the wire without having sweated a hair. Nebraska re-elected one vice chairman of a national committee, anyhow. Dr. Victor Eosewater 's "defeat for the position of Nebraska member of the republican national committee was not unexpected'. .Without in the least desiring to speak slightingly of his successor, Robert B. Howell, this newspaper expresses the opinion that the republicans of the state made a mistake in dropping Dr. Eosewater. He enjoys the close friendship of the national leaders of his party, he is today the chairman of the national committee, he exerts a powerful influence through his great newspaper and he is thor ough master of political management. He has given his party good service and added to his own personal work the mighty influence of his great newspaper. But Dr. Eosewater' made the tactical blunder of aligning himself with the "standpat" element, although it would be difficult to conceive of the son of Edward Eosewater being anything else than a progressive. But that has ever been the way with Nebraskans. No sooner does a Nebraskan secure a commanding position in congress, or in political management, than he is either recalled or his usefulness hampered by petty opposition. Any wonder that some men " weary of trying to be of service to the people T Senator Bourne of Oregon has been one of the best servants the people ever had. Yet he is defeated for re-election. He refused to advertise his candidacy as a circus is advertised. He would not leave his post of duty to engage in a fight for re election. He simply said: "If the people want me they will re employ me." But the people, always quick to forget, and just as quick to experiment with something else, turned Bourne down. Again we repeat : The people are entitled to no better government, nor to better servants, than they will get for themselves. Now we'll have a little lull in the presidential preference game. It has been rather exciting to date, and none will object to a alight breathing spell. ESTHER'S HOSPITAL. Occupying one of the handsomest buildings in Lincoln, sur rounded by beautiful lawns and within . a block of the beautiful grounds surrounding the Nebraska capitol building, Esther's hos pital at Seventeenth and J streets has an almost ideal location. The hospital building was formerly one of the most beautiful of Lincoln residences, and in altering it to meet hospital needs all of the home-like features were retained. And that is just what it is a home. Added to these home features that always appeal to 7 the sick and ailing are all the conveniences of a hospital equipped to the limit of present scientific knowledge, together with a corps of physicians, surgeons and nurses who are recognized as leaders in their professions. All that modern science has contributed to the alleviation of suffering humanity is utilized at Esther's Hos pital, and its beautiful surroundings, its home-like atmosphere and its nearness to all the conveniences of a metropolitan city contrib ute to making it one of the greatest hospitals in the west. Esther's Hospital is especially well known to the medical and surgical professions, and it brings to its care the patients of the professions from all sections of the country. This fact is of itself a strong endorsement of the hospital's equipment and methods. Dr. Frank L. Wilmeth, the manager and surgeon in charge, is making this institution known throughout the land. Its interests and the interests of those committed to its care lie close to his heart. One interesting fact concerning this institution is that it is named after Dr. Wilmeth 's little daughter, Esther, and this is an indication of the sympathetic atmosphere that pervades the hos pital. Esther's Hospital is located within a block of the state house and an equal distance from a car line, with paved streets about it and in the midst of handsome residences surrounded by beautiful lawns and shaded by wide-spreading trees. Jt offers to the sick every attraction that is conducive to good cheer and con tent. - THE LINCOLN HOSPITAL. Occupying a handsome modern structure, and surrounded by spacious and beautiful lawns, the Lincoln Hospital is one of the most attractive places in Lincoln. It is wholly lacking in those stem features so often noted in hospitals, and possesses that air of home and friends that make ' strong appeal to those seeking health. It is this air of home-like comfort, the very appearance of being in reality a home instead of a place of suffering and pain, that makes a strong appeair And bck of this appeal is a record of efficient service that stamps the Lincoln Hospital as one of the most efficient institutions of its kind in this section of the country. It is the most centrally located hospital in the city of Lincoln, yet free from the noise and bustle of traffic and surrounded by beauti ful homes and spacious lawns. In the heart of a metropolitan city, yet not of it, this hospital offers superior advantages. It is thor oughly equipped for scientific treatment of all diseases and condi tions requiring medical or surgical attendance, and has ,a section devoted wholly to lying-in- patients. The training school for nurses in Connection with the Lincoln Hospital is admittedly one of the best in the country, and the merits of the school are evidenced by the fact that it is unable to keep pace with the demand for gradu ate nurses. In every respect the Lincoln Hospital is one of the best equipped in the entire country, and so thoroughly is this fact admitted that physicians of Lincoln and other Nebraska communi ties bring their patients to this hospital for treatment and attention. W. N. Barney, M. D., the surgeon and resident, manager, is a graduate of the Cincinnati, Ohio, Medical School, Class of '93, and has earned for himself a wide reputation for ability in his profes sion. He gives his personal attention to the direction of the hos pital and personally attends to every case brought in. Because 'it his ability, his enterprise and his public spirit, Dr. Eamey is numbered among the influential men of Lincoln, and is admittedly one of the leaders in his prof ession in the west. The hospital facili ties he affords to those in need thereof are the very best, and he is eminently worthy of the confidence of the public. THE CENTRAL HOSPITAL. The Central Hospital has been well named because it is cen trally located, in the heart of Lincoln, yet amidst quiet surround ings. It was built with an eye especially to the comfort and con venience of its patients, and nothing has been left undone to con tribute to this end. Its spacious sun porches, shaded walks, and other attractions appeal to the eye and the tired brain, and con tribute to the personal ease and comfort so necessary in sickness. The staff of Central Hospital is composed of the leading physicians and surgeons of the city and competent trained nurses are always in attendance. The operating rooms are among the best in the west, and the entire equipment of the hospital is all that it can be made under present scientific methods. Dr. E. L.
