Next
From Valentine this state comes the
report of proposed converting the saud
hills into marketable glass. Next.
No, Gov. Mickey will not be wheedled
into railing an extra session of the
legislature this wipter. What’s the
use. Next
Since Jim Pettijobn of the Valentine
land office has been ousted, all the
small towns in the sandhills country
are propagating prospective candidates
for the vacant place. Next.
Attorney General Brown is said to be
contemplating prosecution of assess
ment officials in Nebraska for not
properly assessing farm property; mak
ing too low figures. Wonder where the
lightning will strike first.
And now it is rumored that Nebras
ka’s own D E. Thompson will be asked
to quit his official position as minister
to Brazil, owing to charges of unofficial
conduct and disregard of duties devolv
ing npon a diplomat. Next.
State Superintendent McBrien has
written a letter to the Republican state
committee objecting to his office being
held up by the committee for its
portion of campaign expenses. Singular
Bro. McBrien didn’t express himself
that way when he was running for the
state office.
Since the ousting of Register Fetti
john and Receiver Towle from the
Valentine land office, the number of
patriots who desire to serve Uncle Sam
in the positions named have been
legion. Among them may be named
one ex-County Judged. G. Toliver, an
antedeluvian excrescence on the body
politic in the county of Brown, adjoin
ing that of Cherry county, the seat of
the land office war. To mention him
as a possibility would be to preclude
the idea of fitness in the selection of a
register or receiver for that particular
land office. A dozen or more other appli
cants are already fishing for the places.
The Northwestern doesn’t care a
picayune who gets the plum caused by
the removal of his two old-time
friends, Jim Pettijohn and Major
Towle, but in the interests of the Re
publican party, for God’s sake put in
two men at least the eouaiin intelli
gence and Republicanism and general
honesty of- purpose of the two men
ousted—as we believe bv a gnevious
mistake.
