Dietrteeh is having a full sena
torial investigation into his alleged
bribery iD connection with the Hast

may have it satisfactorily explained
how a man can draw pay as a sena

done during the meanwhile. Old
Senator Hoar is chief investigator
and we incline to the opinion that
Charles may possibly get more in-'
vestigation than will fit well into his
questionable conscience.

The Loup City f trees for Christ
are just now in the midst of a pitched
battle against sin. F r a week and
over, now, the battle h is been wag '
and new recruits are constantly dc
setting the ranks of the enemy amt
enlisting in the army of Christ. The
city is getting such a turning over
and changing in sentiment as r.evei
before. Rev. Madely, the M. K
minister, lias secured the services of
an evangelist, the Rev. Jonee, who
is raking over the dry bones, both in
and out of the church, and the re
sult is noted in conversions nightly.
This is a pretty good experience for
any community, and although our
knowledge of Loup City inclines
us to the opinion that it has a lit
tle the best people it lias ever been
our good fortune t live among, and
we are thoroughly in earnest in so
declaring, yet a go ut many, like the
writer, n< d such an uncomfortable
shaking up as is being done by the
vigorous voting evangelist and the
gentler admonitions of that prince of
preachers, llev. Madely, loved and
respected by all our people, both in
and out of the church. From this
secular pulpit, we find no hesitancy
in commending the work being done

On Feb. 4th the last vestige of the
American occupation of Cuba was
removed. On that day the Ameri.

home. Cuba will now hoe her own

At the National editorial associa
tion meeting in Washington last week
Secretary Taft made some pertinent
remarks, which are respectfully re
ferred to our popocratic frieuds who
have had so much to say against
American occupation of the Philip
pines. Gov. Taft should be good
authority . He said the editors could
help the American people in the
Philippines bv denying tlie lies cir
culated about the terrible climate
there. He spoke of the necessity of
\mervan capital and American citi

was needed to m ike success certain
