It’s dollars to doughnuts Sheldon
won't call a special session.
It cost Gov. Hughes $3(59.65 to be
re-elected governor of the Empire
state.
It is rumored that Taft has select
ed ex-Senator Millard for the treas
ury portfolio.
Bryan calls it the “Mystery of 1908.”
He must be getting used to mysteries
by this time.
The special session matter is still
up in the air, and the general opinion
prevails that Sheldon won't call one.
The democratic national commit
tee received a total of $(520.(544.77. and
expended $(519,410.06, leaving a bal
ance on hand of $1,234.71.
Poor Bryan must have something
and so the Nebraska democrats are
talking of him for U. S. senator
Would he accept? Would a duck take
to water.
Will Gibson make a public state
ment of what he did with that $lo0
received from the republican state
central committee for use in the late
campaign.
Democrats are insisting on having
two of the four supreme judges to be
appointed. They base their claim on
the fact that their vote was neces
sary to carry the amendment.
... *
Our next state senate will be com
posed of twenty democrats and thir
teen republicans. The house of re
presentatives will be made up of sixty
eight democrats and thirty-two re
publicans.
It is settled now. The republicans
lost only the head and tail of their
state ticket—Governor Sheldon and
Railway Commissioner Williams
winning out on all the rest. But
that’s bad enough.
The republican state central com
mittee claims to have furnished the
county committee of Sherman county
with $150 during the late campaign to
‘•get out the vote." What did George
Gibson do with that $150.
This is about the limit. Over in
Wisconsin, a few days since, an old
man aged 84 years murdered his
83-year-old wife, whom lie accused of
receiving attentions from a farm
hand, and then hanged himself.
Governor-elect Sliallenberger suf
fered the fracture of his right leg
last Friday night while being initiat
ed into the mysteries of the Shriners
at Lincoln. The goat must have
been republican and didn't like to
carry democratic greatness.
The national republican committee
sent $26,000 to the Nebraska state!
central committee of the republican
party, of which $5,000 went into
Douglas county and $2,500 into Lan
caster county—the vote of the two
giving a majority for Bryan. Fine
investment!
According to Congressman Burton
President-elect Taft may oppose the
re-election of Uncle Joe Cannon as
speaker of the house. Anyway, Taft
has determined Cannon shall not ob
struct legislation, if in his power to
prevent. Cannon may yet prove to
be a small bore gun. when Big Bill
gets into action.
Some of the sickening, sentiment
ally inclined hero worshipers of Gov.
Sheldon are going through an agony
of hog-wash over his defeat. It may
appeal to the governor's vanity, but
we doubt if even he appreciates such
stuffing. But the same fellows do
and say the same thing of each and
every big public servant, so Sheldon
is no exception.
The county candidates in the late
campaign filed their election expenses
as follows: Theo. Ojendvk, $21.74:
E. A. Brown, $15.50; II. H. Mathew,
$5:1.25; W. J. Fisher, $25.00. All of
the above tiled their affidavits in ac
cordance with law, which says the
accounts must be itemized, save alone
Mr. Fisher, who fails to do so, merely
giving in his expenses in lump.
After making his millions off pro
tected steel industries, Andrew Car
negie now comes out with the amaz
ing statement that those, as well as
all other protected "infant indus
tries," no longer need such help but
are well "able to stand alone.” Won
der if Andrew would say the same,
were he actively engaged in the pro
duction of this greatest of “protected
pets" in the past.
Governor-elect Sliallenberger pro
poses making the coming legislative
session only forty days in length, the
democratic legislature to turn back
into the treasury $100 each of their
salary. Oh, yes! We see the law
makers jumping over each other in a
frantic effort to be first to put it
back. But how about the constitu
tionality of the action, when the con
stitution as amended reads, there
shall be no sitting of less than sixty
days, except in special sessions. Is
the governor bigger than the consti
tution? Nit! We don’t think.

Wliat istlie use of going to Southern

J. H. Edmisten, a has-been leading
populist seer and prophet in the good
old bewhiskered days in Nebraska,
lias been fined #1,000 and given four
months' jail sentence, after pleading
guilty of conspiracy in land frauds in
the federal court at Omaha.
The official counting of the ballots
in every county in the state and the
tabulation in the office of the secre
tary of state has been completed and
the entire re publican state ticket with
the exception of governor and rail
way commissioner was elected. Wil
liams, the republican candidate for
the latter office, has been defeated by
only 551, out of the largest vote ever
polled in Nebraska.
Governor-elect Shallenberger is said
to have a predilection for newspaper
men and will give several fat places
to democratic editors who have done
active work in securing his election,
lie has named three already, as an
earnest of his intentions along that
line. Bowlby of Crete, Pratt of Hum
phrey and Donovan of Madison are
alleged to have been slated for three
of the most important. That's more
than former republican governors of
Nebraska have done.
Governor Sheldon has issued a pro
clamation naming Bridgeport as the
temporary county seat of the new
county of Morrill which is to be form
ed out of the northern part of Chey
enne county according to the wishes
of the people of the county expressed
at the recent election. County offii
cers for the new county will be chosen
at an election to be held on Tuesday,
December 22d next, after which a
permanent county seat will be named
by a vote of the citizens.
When Gibby, the erstwhile savior
of the people, the only honest man in
this county, and "I-am-for-men-only1’
angel, sees editors beatified by Mr.
Shellenberger, wonder if he don't kick
himself in his seat of wisdom for not
sticking to his editorial text for Bry
anism emblazoned on his banner fol
lowing the Denver convention and
been in line for Shellenberger pie, in
stead of attuning his miraculous per
sonality to the Taft tone, and lying
in becalmed waters, when he might
have been seated in the democratic
pie pavilion?
Bro. Manuel of the St. Paul Phono
graph-Press has plucked a nice plum
from the official tree in the shape of
the superintendency of the Industrial
school at Kearney. Bro. Manuel had
charge of the populist end of the fus
sion lariat that roped Shellenberger
and landed him in the executive seat,
and we are glad to note his reward.
He is about thesteenth editor official
ly recognized so far by the incoming
administration. But, look here, Mr.
Governor; don’t forget Sherman coun
ty is on the democratic map, and it’s
democratic editor may be in a recep
tive mood.
Fair Wants Fair Treatment
Secretary W. R. Mellor of the state
board of agriculture has asked 256
stockholders of the American Short
horn breeders association to give the
Nebraska board their proxies to be
voted for a resolution declaring it the
intention of the Shorthorn breeders
association to rotate its annual cattle
show that has been held in connec
tion with the Minnesota state fair.
The Shorthorn people hold three
recognized meetings each year, one at
the Chicago international show, an
other at the Kansas City and the
third at the Minnesota state fair.
The Shorthorn association gives $2500
annually in prizes to be awarded to
exhibitors of Shorthorn cattle at the
Minnesota state fair. This is be
lieved by Secretary Mellor an in
justice to other state fairs that are
held in the west. He desires to have
this prize money given alternately to
the Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota
*tate fairs. He argues that Iowa and
Nebraska are two of the leading states
in the union for the breeding and
feeding of cattle and the Shorthorn
cattle interests would be forwarded
by opening new fields instead of con
fining the show in the northwest to
the Minnesota state fair. The ques
tion will come before the Shorthorn
association at a meeting to be held in
Chicago, December 2.
Will Prevent Death From Bloat
Scotts Bluff Herald; F. F. Everett,
one of our leading farmers and stock
men, thinks he has hit upon a contriv
ance which will effectually prevent
death in the case of cattle affected
with alfalfa bloat. The thing is ex
tremely simple being nothing more
than a slightly curved bit with an open
hollow groove near each end on the
upper side of the bit. These grooves
permit the gas to escape from the
moutii when the animal is bloated.
The bit is intended to be worn all the
time and in no way prevents the
animal from eating all it wishes. It
will more than likely bloat but witli
the use of the bit the gas will quickly
escape and no harm will ensue. Mr.
Everett has tried one of these bits on
a calf he has had on an alfalfa pas
ture during the past summer, and,
while the calf bloated, the bit per
mitted the ready eecape of the gas
and the animal has thrived better
than some of the rest. Mr. Everett
has a great deal of confidence in the
success of this appliance and has
applied for a patent, which will no
doubt be granted.
Real Story of Russian Empress
Kellogg Burland, wiio lias spent
many months in Russia. is writing
for Woman's Home Companion, the
life story of the Russian empress. In
the December number of that maga
zine lie writes:
“When a certain Count Tolstoy was
Minister of Public Instruction he
once appealed to the Empress to aid
him in extending the educational ad
vantages of the empire to the girls
and young women of the country. (I
; have Count Tolstoy’s own permission
to relate this incident.)
“TlieTsaritsa listened to the Minis
ter attentively as he set forth the
that she thought all young girls
should be taught to sew, to care for
their homes, in short to become help
ful wives and good mothers, but as
for granting them the privileges of
so-called “higher education,” know
ledge of history, philosophy and the
sciences—to this she was entirely
opposed, “because these studies, when
offered to women, only resulted in
such terrible times as Russia is now
passing through.”
“This surely is a remarkable tribute
to the women of Russia the Tsaritsa
holding them responsible for the
great movement toward liberty as a
result of their education and culture!”
