In the State Journal of the 9th instant, Judge Roscoe Pound, than whom no more al»le nor honest jurist ever lived within the coniines of the state, in an exhaustive reply to the charges against Judge Sedgwick and his connection with the Bartley ease, answers fully and completely all the charges alleged against Sedgwick, and leaves that gentleman absolved from all blame, and shows he followed the correct interpretation of the law as lie understood it. The Northwestern, ‘in full belief of the correctness of Judge Pound’s explanation, and knowledge of that gentleman's ability and undoubted honesty of opinion, can lieartilv and gladly endorse the candi dacy of J udge Sedgwick for a second term to the supreme bench, while ,iot abating one jot in its esteem and !>e lief in the ability, integrity and probity of Judge Reese as a jurist, and a willingness to heartily support I him, should he be favored at the primaries. Over the entire United States there is at present one of the most gigantic labor strikes 'ever in the country. All union telegraphers of the Western Union and Postal telegraph com panies ars»out and also the Associated Press operators, while all railroad telegraphers are refusing to handle anything but railroad vfork. Locally, the operators at Loup City are re fusing all Western Union work and messages handed in for transmission are courteously refused on account of existing conditions. The daily news papers are full of the strike news and warn their readers that their tele graphic news will be very much abbreviated till the settlement of the strike trouble, while their corres pondents are ordered to transmit all news by long distance telephone or by mail. It looks at this bird’s eye dis tance that the great telegranliic systems will have to give in to'the operators before many days. . y . * _ • a-V. _ ’ .i ' The friends of J udges Sedgwick and Reese are showing very poor political judgment in their articles from week to week in a showing of the merits and demerits of these two able jurists. The denunciations and inuendoes hurled by either side will furnish abundantammunition for the common enemy during the campaign, and is bitterly to be condemned. Judges Sedgwick and Reese are both able jurists and either gentleman would prove worthy the judicial ermine and honors sought. If this is the kind of warfare brought to the front as a result of the new primary law. we would better go back to the old, time-honored conventions. The new primary law may be a very wise measure, but in one essential point at least there is a feeling that it is faulty. For in stance. any person having a five dollar bill to spare can announce him self a candidate for a county office and have his name placed upon a pri mary efection ticket no matter what his political antecedents, or whether he is competent, honorable or desir able in any particular. If he is the only one announced for the said office, the party rank and file are compelled to vote for him, or at least only able to register a half vote against him by failing to put a cross in the square opposite his name, no blank line be ing provided in which to write any choice of the voter and leaving the alternative of bolting that much of the ticket when it comes to the regular election, or wishing to vote a straight ticket compelled to vote for the obnoxious candidate. This is simply making a law to herd the party rank and file like so many cattle or compel them to scratch their ticket. The honorable Charles B. Anderson of Crete, Neb., has been selected by his many friends of this state to be a candidate for Regent at the primary election to be held on the 3rd day of September next. “Charley" as he is generally called, is by no means a stranger in this part of the state and particularly in the Loup valleys. Mr. Anderson was born on a farm near Albion. Orleans county, N. Y., June 30th. 1865, and afterwards graduated from one of the high class education al institutions of which the Empire state is so famous. But his gaze soon became lixed on the great west. Un aided and alone he started out to make himself a part and parcel of this, the far-off land of his boyish dreams. He found his way to Saline county and settled on the Big Blue river, near PeWitt, where he found employment in a bank. His admira tion for Nebraska became unbounded and lie invested his every cent in in vestments within this state. From poverty he lias made his wav by dint of honest effort and rigid self denial to a place at the head of several of the strongest banking institutions of Nebraska! It is but a very short time since some of the leading capital ists of Omaha sought his service in the management of one of the banks at that place, but this seemed not to to the liking of Mr. Anderson and he severed his connections with Omaha and went into the management of the Crete state bank and of the Crete Investment Co., a concern of almost unlimited capital. This was not quite far enough West for our friend, and he went to Ord and there became vice president Of the Ord State Bank. Although still living at Crete, he has made several investments in proper ties in the Loup valleys and is one of the staunchest friends that this sec tion of the state ever had. He is all for the West, all for Nebraska and for her splendid citizenship and her matchless institutions. And if lie is elected a Regent, as he certainly will be, he will be found to be broad enough to reach over the entire state and honest and brave enough to do right at all times. Board of Supervisors.
