The child labor bill has passed both houses and will become a law. The legislature will probably ad journ this week, by stopping the wheels of time for a day or two. The senate has added to its laurels by voting to reduce express charges 25 per cent. Later, the house killtriit. The proposed law imposing a t&x of i3 upon non-voters, originating in the house was killed in the senate last Friday. What do you think of this? Denver has a millionaire mining magnate who thinks the rich should par all the taxes. He must be troubled with "brain storms.’’ The legislature will have to get a bigger hurry on itself than the pres ent rate promises in order to adjourn by the first of April. But then their pay stops this week, and that will help a whole lot to expediate matters. The supreme court last week decid ed that Gov. Sheldon could occupy the executive mansion without paying rent. Now. why. also, under the ruling, could not the other state, dis trict and county officers be so favored? It is a mighty poor rule that will not give all the same show. Just now. all engaged in the Thaw trial, fer and feminst, seem troubled with "brain storms." the case being stopped to inquire into the sanity of the murderer, and the greatest amount of tommyrot being issued from both sides. The whole caboodle appear "dippy.’' The senate passed the closed primary bill. The house took the bill and changed it to the-open primary and passed it. The senate now pro poses to change it agaiiv to the closed primary idea. And thus the fooling away of time goes on at Lincoln among the wise (?1 men of the two houses. ' -' It would be interesting to know how some men really make a living. We have reference to those who seem never to work, and may be seen any hour of the day walking aimlessly along the streets or standing on the comers, smoking cigars or chewing their cud. wearing good clothes and seeming to be masters of finance. In compliance with the recent deci sion of the yjpreme court, the rail road companies that own property in this county have remitted to County Treasurer Hiddleson the full amount of their taxes for the years 1904. 1905 and 1906. The total amount received is *22.362.60, of which amount *13.073.15 was paid by the B. k M. and *9.189.45 by the C. P. This in cludes principal and interest. The legislature is making good this week by passing the terminal tax measure, the state-wide primary and the anii-pass laws, three of the prin cipal things asked for by the republi can state convention. While Brother Brown slipped from the path of rec titude on the terminal, he partially redeemed himself on the other two measure by giving them his vote, and we are prepared to forgive him for his side-step, esprcially as the terminal question won out in spite of all. A bill has been Introduced in the senate prohibiting intoxicated persons getting on street, interurban or rail way cars, and impoeing a tine of So to $50 fora fracture of the law. Doesn't that call for a general superintendent of drunks, with deputies at every station, or upon every street car or train, who are adepts on the question? Or is such a proposed iaw in the in terest of irrigation establishments to keep a boozer from getting out of town on the kivvered keers as long as he has the price to keep his breath perfumed? The B. & M. seems to get the major part of tiie freight business of this section of late. As an instance, last Friday the C. I*. Mixed-atout getting-any w here-at-any-time train brought in an empty liat and two or three box ears, while the B. &: M. freight rolled in about the same hour with rwentv-tive loaded cars and the evening before came in with thirtv two cars of freight. P. S.—The B. & M. advertises in all the papers along its lines, while uhe U. P. only advertises in one country paper on its lines, the owner of which is a member of the legislature. The State Fair races for the first week in September liave been an nounced as follows: Stakes, to close May 1st: 2-rear-old trot and 2-year-old pace, eich for $250: 3-year old trot, 3-year-old |»ace. 3-year-old 2:45 t rot for Nebraska bred colts, 3-year-old 2:40 pace for Nebraska bred colts, each for $500: and 2:35 trot, 2:24 trot. 2:30 pace and 224 pace, -each for $1,000.

Mesdames Wheeler and Zwink are visiting their parents at Ashton. Mr. and Mrs. John Warrick spent a week visiting in Aurora and report a tine time. The Cleoria Ladies Aid took in some $31 at their bazaar and all had a very nice time. They render their sincere thanks to the patrons of the bazaar. Some of the farmers have begun to sow oats and the ladies are working in the garden. The meetings are still in progress, with a goodly attendance and success, some twelve persons giving their hearts to God. We understand Joe Johnson has sold his farm for $3500. but will occupy it this year. i Mrs. Guilford is once more under i the doctor's care. It seems as if she : lias more than her share. ! Alfred Gunnarson and wife were j visiting friends here this week. McNew Bros., were out canvassing for the Columbia Insurance Co. and called on Mrs. Foss for dinner. We have a new man on route No. 1. Ashley Conger taking Jimmie's place while he is resting and off on a visit, j Ha. ha. wasn't it hot Monday. Some of the farmers hunted up their straw hats. The fishing pond at the bazaar was j quite a curiosity and furnished much amusement for the young people. The protracted meetings closed last evening. While going home from church last evening H. L. Bell had a runaway. 1 but no damage was done. S. Foss has lost an number of cattle i | from some unknown cause. -- -— Loup City School Notes. Six new books were added to the school library last week. Thev are. Robinson Crusoe. Scottish Chiefs, j Gulliver's Travels. Birds Xmas Carol, i Little Lame Prince and Hunter Cats of Connorloa. Last Friday. Miss Esther Musser ••quituated school on account of ill j health. j We are indebted to the G. A. R. for j flags presented to each room of the ! school, which add greatly to their j appearance. The number in Miss Brach's room. is lessened still more by Ray Bradley j leaving school. The girls of the 7th and 8th grades are organizing a Basket Ball Club. Roy McDonail and Arthur Hansel1 both of Miss Crew's room, hare left school. Attention, Farmers. I have a small quantity of the cele brated Russian Kherson seed oats for sale. These are without doubt the best oats to sow in Sherman county. This seed is clean and pure, having come from Lincoln last year. See me at St. Elmo hotel. Loup Citv. 17 D. M. Gue. Child Labor Reform. The Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, Samuel MeCune i Lindsay, clearly outlines the fight for i child labor reform in the department! conducted by the Committee in the ; Woman's Home Companion for April, i Dr. Lindsay gives this advice to the friends of reform: “There should be no confusion in the ranks of those who support the : Be ve ridge-Parsons Bill. We submit | that no one can read with care the (opinion of Justice Harlan represent-: ing the majority of the Supreme Court of the United States in the lottery case (188 U. S.) and have any doubt that Congress has the power to pro hibit tlie products of child labor pass ing from one state into another, nor | of the need of the exercise of that' power expressly delegated for this , purpose to furnish a remedy for the ! i citizens of one state against evils in-1 dieted upon them by another over I whose acts they have no other control than through the national govern ment. “All the points that are involved in this controversy are taken up and presented by able counsel on opposing sides. Every argument advanced against the present Beveridge-Par sons Bill now pending in Congress ; was advanced with ample citations of ; cases by the learned counsel in the ! lottery case. An article made of j i child labor is an article of commerce. | It has a depreciated value the min- ! | ute it is so labeled, in the estimation jof the purchasers. “Tlie only remedy is that expressly provided for just- such a case, in the power delegated to Congress to regu : late commerce, which the Supreme (Court lias a ready interpreted in the I language of the great Chief Justice j Marshall as the power to regulate, intercourse, and again and again as ■ ! the power to prohibit, if necessary, i the products of one state entering ! another.” ! - I ~~ l! “Economy” L Pmnpint t Engine Safe, quiet. easy Wjk to stare and run.
