Governor, or rather $x-governor,
Sheldon served some six days over
his time as chief executive and pres
ented his bill to the state auditor for
some forty odd dollars, which the
auditor refused to pay and submitted
the question to the attorney general
for his opinion, which was to the
effect that Sheldon was not entitled
to more than his regular salary for
the two years. And Sheldon being so
poor in purse may compel him to
take advantage of the bankrupt act,
too, unless some of his hero-worship
ing gang come to his rescue. Bah!
The fun is growing fast and furious
at Lincoln. The democratic legis
lature has recounted the vote on
supreme judges and Gov. Shallen
berger has appointed four judges in
accord therewith, two of them being
a replanting of Sheldon’s appointees,
while Rose and Dean are to be sup
planted by Holcomb and Sullivan, the
latter being the democrat who served
one day and then resigned. Now it
will be a merry row to see which
appointments get a lasting grip on
the judicial ermine. And all this
might have been saved had Sheldon
made a fair division of the judicial
spoils between the two big parties,
instead of exhibiting his sore head
over defeat.
f
Snap Shots at Sunday.
For several weeks, the Northwest
ern has contained items of criticism
of the methods of Billy Sunday, the
famous evangelist, who, like Sam
Jones, seems to thrive upon sensation
alism. It has not been done to cast
reflection upon religious sentiment,
but upon the man Sunday's interpre
tation of it. We know of his work and
methods in various towns and acknow
ledge he has given the Sam Jones
style a knock-out blow, by beating
that famous evangelist in his sup
posed copyright on blackguard evan
gelism. Below we publish a letter
received from our young friend,
Charley Minshull at Spokane, Wash.,
where Sunday is at present engaged
in a great tent meeting, raking in the
converts and shekels unprecedented,
and where the public is much divided
over his methods, a monster petition
being circulated by those opposed to
his sensationalism and questionable
language, asserting that his language
is not tit in part for utterance before
the thousands of women and children
who throng daily to hear him. Mr.
Minshull disclaims criticism of the
Northwestern but says: “‘Coming
from an ordinary person these state
ments would be vulgar—coming from [
Sunday they are quite the opposite.
Accompanying Mr. Minshull’s letter
are a large number of clippings, news
paper reports and editorials from the
Spokane paper, which, by a careful
perusal, more than confirm wliat the
Northwestern has said in regard to
the sensationalism, vulgarity and
obscenity of the Sunday talk. Should
we print excerpsfrom these clippings,
we should be in fear of disguisting
our readers, and rightly place the
Northwestern in question as to the
right of transmission through the
mails. We have them in our ollice
for perusal by any reader of this
paper who may take the trouble to
call and read the same, but excuse us
for not giving them space in our col
umns for the better reason that the
Northwestern wishes to have a wel
come place at every fireside and fit
for perusal by all even to the most
innocent and guileless child in the
home.
Spokane, Wash.. Januaiy 11, 1909
Dear Burleigh: I notice in the last
few issues of the Northwestern that
you take a shot at the evangelist,
Billy Sunday. This man is at present
holding a series of revival meetings
here and having heard him, I was
particularly attracted by your com
ments. You may lie acquainted with
his methods, and may not, but in
either case. I enclose some clippings
from our leading daily papers which
may interest you. The editorial is
from The Spokesman Review, our
morning paper. Sunday is making a
stir in this place, and will no doubt
do a great deal of good. His taber
nacle. which was erected especially
for the purpose, will seat about 8000
people. It is filled to overflowing
daily, and “overflow” meetings are
held in a near-by building which will
accommodate about 4000. Some of
the articles are rough, to say the
least, but they do not do hinf justice.
To get the Sunday meaning of them,
Sunday himself must speak them.
Coming from the ordinary person
these statements would be vulgar
coming from Sunday they are quite
the opposite. This is by no means
a criticism on you or your paper.
Simply some information for you,
which you may already know. And
by the way, don't stop the the paper.
I could hardly get along without the
Loup City news. Hoping that you
will enjoy the clippings as much as I
do the original remarks, and wishing
you the compliments of the season, I
am, Yours very truly,
Chas. Minskull.
Dr. Long at Sanitarium
Collegeview^ Neb., Jan. 18, 1909
Dear Burleigh: Please change the
mailing list to read John II. Long,
Collegeview, Neb., care Sanitarium.
I sold out my store and am a free
lance once more. I am here for my
heart, which got to acting up so that
for a time I thought 1 was to go to
the scrap heap, but the doctor here
tells me that if I will win out against
tobacco that I mav live to see Taft
succeed himself or some similar
glorious event. This institution is
indeed a good one. It is ahead of
anything in this state, and I have
been in the other two big ones in
Lincoln. Bailey’s sanitarium is a
most excellent one, but I am inclined
to give this one the blue ribbon. No
medicine here. Just water. Yes, and
electricity. Both are applied scien
tifically. I begin to think that I am
getting better. During the past two
months I have been unable to do
anything and had made up my mind
to take a trip to the old country,
thinking that an ocean voyage might
do me some good, but I got switched
olf here and am glad that I did. I
can walk two or three blocks now.
The swelling has left my limbs and I
feel fine. I shall stay here just as
long as I can see that I am being
benefited. With a great deal of pleas
ure I have noted the success of the
Methodist bretliern and it certainly
does look as though the right would
win in your town at the next election.
Well, the man today who has no
sympathy or who opposes the forward
march of the coming of the King is
not wise. The old apostolic days are
rapidly returning, and there is no
knowing where that movement will
end that started in Cleveland the
other day where it is said some 11,000
have started to live as Jesus would
live. If that proves a success, watch
the fire that it will kindle. Great!
Why not? If religion is simply an
other name for doing right as Christ
saw the right, why it simplifies
matters a whole lot. Well, I didn’t
intend to write all this stutf, so here’s
where I get off. Fraternally,
i J. H. Long. |
Educational Meeting
A meeting of teachers, prospective
teachers and persons interested in
school work was held at the school
house on Saturday, Jan. 9th. The
committee, consisting of Prof. A. M.
Young and Miss Smith, had prepared
an extensive program, but owing to
the inclemency of the weather few
were able to attend, hence the pro
gram was not altogether carried out.
Despite this fact the meeting was
both entertained and instructed by a
paper on the “Recitation” by Miss
Beynon, an address by Mr. Pedler on
“How the Public Judges a Teacher,”
and also an address by Supt. Hen
drickson on “Teachers’ Wages.”
Miss Beynon’s paper on “Recita
tion was pajticularly educational.
She asserted that the purpose of a
recitation is to test a pupil's know
ledge, his acquired mental power and
also his skill in school arts, thus giv
ing the recitation a broader value
than is ordinarily given it. She
showed the advantages and disadvan
tages of the two methods of testing,
namely, the question test and topic
test and explained the difference be
tween them. To her exposition of
tiie subject was added a discussion by
J. F. Nicoson, who said that one of
the recitation's chief ends was to
economize time. This brought a dis
cussion on the length of recitation,
followed by an address by Mr. Pedler
on “How the Public Judges a Teacher”
Of all things of which a teacher
might; know with advantage before
hand, no one will deny that one of
the most important is to know how
the public generally, passes upon and
judges her in a community. Mr.
l’edler’s address was therefore [of
special value and assistance to begin
ners, as weil as to those who have
been in the profession for some time.
He pointed out the fact, often over
looked by the teacher, that outside
assistance and resistance to the
efforts and policiy of a school are
very great factors in the progress of
that school, hence, the public natural
ly judges a teacher in proportion to
her ability to gain outside assistance
and overcome outside resistance, and
that this ability depended not so
much on a teachers’ educational qual
ifications as upon her use of tact—
common sense applied. He laid par
ticular emphasis on the fact that
school boards hire a teacher not on
the basis of her educational bualitica
tions. but on her ability to organize
and govern a school. He said further
that educational qualifications are
conceded an applicant, but she must
demonstrate power to secure public
co-operation in her efforts in school
work. Mr. Pedler's views were so
complete and so near those of the
the meeting generally that no dis
cussion followed. It is to be regretted
that more teachers were not able to
hear this excellent address for a large
number of a teacher’s difficulties
arise from her inability to secure
outside aid.
Mr. Hendrickson next gave a dis
cussion on “Teachers’ Wages.” He
showed that wages were growing
higher and higher and promise to
continue to grow in the future. He
made this distinction between the
teachers, that a good teacher could
never be wholly compensated for her
services to society, w hile any amount
of money, however small, was too
much for a teacher who simply kept
school. A discussion of this subject
resulted in the conclusion that a
teacher should receive a sufficient
income to enable her to live comfort
ably and economically and to ley up a
competency for old age.
Tbis closed the program and the
meeting was adjourned, everyone feel
ing himself ahead for having attend
ed.
Teachers, let us all attend these
meetings in the future An exchange
of ideas cannot fail to help us to keep
in touch with' the best methods of
educating the young. Those also who
intend to take up teaching will find
much assistance and preparation in
these meetings. Therefore, every
teacher and prospective teacher
should take an interest in these
meetings and if possible attend them.
One Knocked on Us, Too
A subscriber complained the other
day because the Sun printed articles
of a religious nature, and stated that
the paper was supposed to be a demo
cratic organ, and not a Sunday school
paper. This leads us to ask said sub
scriber what kind of a paper lie would
call the Commoner? If it is anything,
it is a democratic organ. And the
Commoner is constantly publishing
articles of a religious nature: hardly
a week passes but it does this very
thing. The editor of that paper, Mr.
W. J. Bryan, is a man whose rrtind
and soul is large enough to enable
him to see that the religious life of
men is one of the greatest elements
of strength and uplift in the country:
and to emphasize that nature is noth
ing more than common sense. We
would remind our subscriber, too,
that probably fifty per cent of the
homes into which the Sun goes are
vitally interested in some church.
The narrow-minded man thinks that
everybody should appreciate and dis
like the things he appreciates and
dislikes in newspapers. But we can
not trim our sales to please narrow
minded men.—Aurora Sun.

glimpse of pastoral life. On a little
stool he sat, under a tree, bent with
Its load of ripe peaches, beside the
cook, who was plucking a chicken.
He watched that plucking operation
gravely for some time. Then he said:
“Do you take off their clothes every

Are You Doing Yourself Justice?
MR. FARMER: —Are you looking ahead for your son,
or if you are a renter are you looking ahead for yourself? Are ^
you going to accept this chance for a homestead that Uncle
Sam has made possible for you? Are you dozing over this,
while your more alert neighbor is acting? Don't you realize
that the irrigated homesteads now being offered by the govern
ment in the Big Horn Basin and North Platte Valley will prove
to be the richest land prizes that the government has \et be
stowed on its citizens. You certainly ought to know of the
present land hunger in this country. Now you have the gov
ernment furnishing you 80 and 160 acre tracts of land iriigat
ed by the intelligence and financial security of Uncle Sam who
has suddenly become the greatest irrigator the world has ever
known, who offers you abundant and perpetual water with the
choicest land at $35 to $45 per acre in ten annual payments
without interest;—land that will yield more in one year per
acre than the price of the farm.
Do you realize what a “good thing” this is in this day and age? If you
do not. let me tell you something about it.

We’re In A Hurry
Even when a newspaper is growing
like the Lincoln-Daily News, itspub
lisliers are not satisfied but want
thousands of farmers and other state
folks to be reading it, and the quick
est way is to make a cheap trial offer
in the hope that you will like the
paper and keep on taking it. This
offer beats them all, only S!5 cents for
a daily newspaper from now until the
close of the legislature, April 1, 11*08
We stop it then unless you send in
money to renew it. Don’t pay your
money to strangers for any newspaper
Send direct to the paper or hand it to
your postmaster. The Lincoln Daily
News is always a live one, but just
now during the legislature, you will
get a dollar’s worth for your trial
quarter, and if you decide then not to
stay with us, we’re the loser, but we
want you to try it, even if we do lose
money on your trial. If you don’t
say that The News is the plainest,
frankest and fairest paper you know
of, we miss our guess. No nasty
medical ads, no liquor ads, a paper
for the whole family. Watch Jyour
man in the legislature. The Lincoln
News will print the truth about him.
The sooner you send in a quarter the
more papers you will get.
Farmers and Newspapers.
In an address to an audience of
farmers in Texas recently, the speak
er had the following to say regarding
the country paper and the attitude
the farmer should take as regards the
home newspaper:
“As a rule the farmer has no firmer
friend than the country press. The
[ home paper is distinctly the farmer's
own paper: supported directly and in
directly by farmers who compose the
backbone of the subscription list of
the printer and largely for what
enterprising merchants advertise.
Now, brothers, let us not forget our
friends. Let us see that that our
subscription is paid a year in advance;
we can do it.
The man on the paper that lights
my battles shall have my support.
Another thing, the merchants who
advertise are the ones who make it N
possible for us to get a good local
paper and the men or local firms w ho
are too penurious to advertise and
help support the local press have no
right to the farmer’s patronage.
I propose hereafter to go to the live
advertiser and the man who will do
his share in supporting the local
press, thus contributing to my sup
port rather than buy of a man who
proposes to take all and give nothing A
in return. If farmers as a class would "
support their friends the other fellow
would soon be out of business.—Ex
