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.

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.
