Has S(*aker Rouse refused to accept
that little S3 per day over and above
his regular constitutional salarv as a
member of the lower house? If not,
does he as an employe report to a com
mittee room when on duty and dock
himself so much per when not warm
ing the padded cushion of the official
chair ?
A bill has been introduced in the Se
braska lower house abolishing the hco
che cooche dance. It took four brave
members combined to introduce the
measure “by request” of various woman
clubs. The first thing you know, a bill
will be forthcoming preventing by stat
ute the horrid male from kissing other
m^n's wives. Are the social fuuctiuns
of men to be wholly abridged?
Judge Wall was home from Lincoln
over last Sunday. The judge is still
one of the leading members of the up
per house, its is always the case, aud he
may be depended upon to look out m
the very best manner for the interests
of his constituents and the people at
large. The only kick we have coming
is the fact that the reports accredit
him to Buffalo instead of Sherman
county, and we are going down to
Lincoln in a short time to kill or cure
the reporters of the bad habit.

Some special interest was caused in
the lower house of the legislature last
week over a bill by Representative A.
V. Cunningham of Hamilton prohibit
'ng the playing of foot ball in Nebras
ka. Ridicule was the chief weapon
used against it, but the bill came near
passing, being defeated by only a verv
ew votes. The result was hailed by a
how! of delight from a gallery filled with
long-haired State University students,
who use more muscle than brains in
their university course. Tallv one for
A. V. Cunningham in his effort to d •
away with the brutal, dangerous ame.
The severest weather of the present
winter occmred last Saturday night,
•hib* the coldest was on Sunday night.
Saturday a blinding snow storm came
from the south, the wind later changing
to the north, blowing a fierce gale al!
night, the government, thermometer
registering 20 below. Sunday and Sun
day night was still and intensely cold,
[the government bulb going to 32 be
[ low, registering three degrees below the
preceding coldest period which was 29
degrees to the bud. The B. & M. aban
doned its trains wholly on this branch
Saturday and Monday, while the U. P.
managed to flounder through Saturday
after a fashion but gave up Monday un
able to find truckage below the drifted
snow, and raorever managing M^nd.-y
morning to knock the trucks from ud
der one car and wreck the platform of
a passenger coach while bucking snow.
It was not until yesterday that trains
began running with any regularity
The divorce problem innoeulated the
Htate senate this session, but when it
reached the proper committ'-e it struck
an obstruction it could not overcome,
and faded aw»y. When men and wo
men become angels of perfection, when
love is the great heart and center of all
connuoial relationship, when men and
women cherish each other and are faith
ful to their vows, when brutality and
churlishness and hellishne«s in man,
and wantonness. extravagance and evil
traits in woman are swallowed up in
the purity and sanctity of home mak
ing, there will be no divorce.no need of
divorce laws; but so long as the contr -
ry *,xists, no matter how stringent the
laws, how hedged in the marriage con
tracts, unmated people will escape
their hideous, sickening environments
and get into freedom desired no mat
ter what the cost. Marriage without
love, to woman particularly, is legal
restitution, the worst form of penal
servitude, a slavish condition from
which every fibre of her being revolts.
