J. W. BURLEIGH. Eil. am! Pub.
Fighting Bob Evans gives it out as
his horoscope that Russia and Japan
will have another set-to in the near
future. Now, Hobson: you're next.
The Kansas state senate has adopt
ed a resolution, without division, de
claring in favor of the election of
U. S. senators by a direct vote of the
people.
The women of Missouri are demand
ing a state-wide prohibition constitu
tional amendment at the hands of
their law-makers. Probably what
they demantj and what they get will
be at some variance.
Last week finished up the first half
of the present legislative session and
yet only two laws had received the
governor's signature. AndBro. Brown
takes exception to the Northwestern
calling it a possible “Do-Nothing"
affair.
The democratic Aurora Sun says
of the democratic legislature: “Well,
the temperance bills have so far fared
badly in the legislature,” etc. Well,
hasn't the democratic party always
been the party of “personal^) rights"
and isn't that the slogan of the saloon
element? What can you expect?
We understand that E. A. Brown,
County Assessor Beehthold and Coun
ty Clerk Beushausen have still more
deeply fallen under the ban of the
dinky’sdispleasure.by reason of Louie
Beehthold having appointed Bro.
Brown as deputy assessor for this
township this year. This is simply
awful.
Missouri legislators have passed a
law to make sure , they may not lie
kidnaped by those later-dav brigands,
commonly known as lobbyists. They
have passed a law that all lobbyists
shall wear uniform caps and badges
so that they may be known at sight.
It takes the show-me state to give
points to our wise men at Lincoln.
Evidently Bryan can not dictate to
liis brothers of tfie Nebraska legis
lature and be sure to make his word
effective. He objected to the accept
ance of the Carnegie fund for pension
ing university teachers, but when his
back was turned the senate decided
it should be a go by a vote of 25 to 8.
The “tainted money" idea did not
seem to prevail.
It is said that "a man who squeezes
a dollar never squeezes his wife.” In
looking over our subscription list we
are led to believe there are some
awfully fine women in this commun
ity who are not getting the pressure
they deserve. There are some who
don't live in this community, too. Of
course, editors don't publish every
thing they know.—Ex.
We understand an effort will be
made through Representative Brown
to have the legislature take favorable
action toward recompensing W. T.
Gibson for his pecuniary loss in the
bridge building cases. It is right
that this should have the favorable
consideration of our law makers and
Mr. Gibson receive his money. The
matter was taken under consideration
while Mr. Brown was home Saturday.
One among the first things done by
Will Maupin, who was made commis
sioner of labor under the democratic
a iministration, was to ask the legis
lature to increase his salary from
$1500 to $2000 per year. When a
hungry democrat gets access to the
official crib, his hunger makes him
want to get in with both hands and
feet. However, the legislature very
wisely concluded Willie could get
along very well on the same salary
his predecessor was content with.
Bro. Parsons of the Burwell Tri
bune a few weeks since inadvertantly
admitted his belief that the ‘Daily
Drift” of “Bix” in the State Journal
was a wee bit tiresome at times, and
rather inclined to the belief that the
Journal would manage to survive and
continue publications should Dr. Bix
by be transplanted from this mortal
to a future immortality. And then
straightway arose the great, moral,
truthful and sagacious temperance
apostle and democratic mouthpiece
of Nebraska, in the form of the only
Judgef?) Howard, at one time a
common paste-eater on the Iowa
State Register, but later owner in
fee simplef?) of the Bourbon element
of the Grasshopper state, and in his
awful majesty frowned down upon
the young Parson for daring to utter
any thought without first consulting
His Onlyness, and with one swoop of
his mighty pen wiped the Burwell
man from the face of the terrestrial
for daring to intimate such an awful
thing of the man who of all others
had told of the possibility of Sir
Edgar’s omnipotence and ability
above all others to write brainy things
And the Burwell Parson(s) having
learned muchness under the skilled
manipulations of the judgef?) and
very likely being imbued with the
wonderful personality of the great
Eddy, has bowed to the whip of the
democratic master and taken it all
back. The sun may now come out
from under the black cloud of desola
tion and all nature shine once more.
The Idaho legislature passed a
county local option bill on Monday of
this week.
Sixty-three lobbyists are registered
aed plying their vocation before the
timid legislators, not to mention the
droves of those not registered and
swooping down upon the “(un)terri
fied” in direct violation of the won
derful anti-lobby law.
The news of the day is highly col
ored with flash-light portrayals of the
marital trouble of Bryan’s daugher,
Ruth, and her artist husband Leavitt,
and the proposed divorcing or these
people. It only tends to prove the
truth of the trite sawing, “There is
a skeleton in every household.”
A howl is emanating from the
scared democratic legislators at Lin
coln over the swarm of lobbyists in
festing the city. And it is said Tom
Allen. Bryan’s brother-in-law, and
head of tne democratic state organi
zation, is one of the busiest, is not
registered, uniformed, labeled, brand
ed, tattooed in plain sight, nor yet
arrested or his presence expurged
from the sacred portals of the law
making powers. Avaunt, Tommy.
In a certain town there are two
brothers who are engaged in the re
tail coal business. A noted evange
list visited the town and converted
the elder brother of the firm. For
weeks after his conversion the broth
er w ho had lately “got religion” en
deavored to persuade the other to
join the church. One day, when the
elder was making another effort, he
asked, “Why can’t you join the church
Richard, like I did?” “It’s all right
for you to be a member of the
church,” replied Richard, “but if I
join, who’s going to weigh the coal?”
Sears, who is now judge of the
district court, in which Omaha is a
part, and who was formerly speaker
of the Nebraska lower house some
years since and gathered in $3 per day
for the elevation, and which graft
was afterward decided as unconstitu
tional. but which was never paid back
by said Sears, is now to have a chance
to air his old grievance against ex
Treasurer Steuffer by the present
legislature. If Sears would only pay
baek into the state treasury the graft
he received as speaker of the house,
it would look more seemly in him to
go after Steutier.
“Well, this storm is a little bit
severe in some ways,” sa\s John Cres
sler, as he swung his arms and
stamped his feet to restore circula
tion, “but it is mighty fine stuff for
nex season’s crops. Moisture in
February is what we must have to
prove the character of the coming
season. With plenty of moisture in
FebJuary, the rainmaker will be out
of a job Jin July and August, and
there will be oodles of corn, wheat
and other marketable stuff at the
end of the chapter. Some of you
fellows were inclined to jeer and
scoff when I put you next to this
Deposition three or four years ago.
but you must admit that the sign is a
true one, as has been amply demon
strated. Nebraska can well afford to
wade about in snow knee-deep for
the next three weeks—it may be a
bit unpleasant but it is the making
of the country.” Whereupon John
took a plunge for the next snow
bank heoded for home and a steam
heating plant.—Ravenna News.
Good Company for 1909
You are careful wliat choice of
friends the young people of your
household make. You do not open
wide the door to those whose speech
and behavior betray ill-breeding and
lax morals. Are you as careful to shut
it against books and periodicals that
present vulgar and demoralizing pic
tures [of life and its purpose? Per
haps.you are among those who have
found that The Youth’s Companion
occupies the same place in the family
reading that the high-minded young
man or woman holds among your as
sociates. The Companion is good
without being • ‘goody-goodv.” It is
entertaining, it is informing. In its
stories it depicts life truly, but it
chooses those phases of life in which
duty, honor, loyalty are the guiding
motives.
A full description of the current
volume will be sent with samplecopies
of the paper to any address on request.
The new subscriber who at once sends

“I will try and drop you a line to let
you know that we are still among
the living and enjoying good health’'
and hope you and all the rest of my
friends around Loup City and Litch
field are enjoying the same. We like
this country fine and have had no
winter to speak of. It registered 12
below one day and about two inches
of snow fell, but it can be cold here
one day and like summer the next
day. I am farming and haye done
very well since coming here. We like
to know what everybody is doing up
there and have failed to get the paper
but twice in the year and 10 months
that we have been here, which we
I think is doing well.”

Another blizzArd Sunday, of which
we are getting more than our share
for this winter. It seems as though
the ground hog knew his business
when he went back to his winter
quarters for another six weeks.
Several of the young men in and
around Ashton have been mourning
the removal of one of the fair damsels
from our town. They used to have
all kinds of excuses for going to the
depot hut now it’s all off. Is it pos
sible that she lias gone not even to be
heard from?
Those who own or harbor dogs
should not fail to read what is known
as the ‘‘Dog ordinance” passed by our
village trustees. This requires all
owners or harborers sof dogs to place
on the dog's neck a collar having a
name plate thereon bearing the owners
name. By this ordinance which takes
effect on March 4, 1SHW, the marshal
will have authority to kill all dogs
found running at large without a
collar.
Those who have been ip the habit
of hanging around the saloons until
midnight have had the damper put

date they may keep open till 10 p. m.
In order that the law may be enforced
they will impose a tine of $25 for the
first offense and in case of a second
offense their license will be cancelled.
The O. C. V. band gave their dance
and concert as previously advertised
Sunday evening. The turn-out was
not as large as it should have been on
account of the weather, but the boys
did fairly well, having sold about 65

members of this organization have
been doing their best to make the
band one of the best in this part of
the state and are to be complimented
on the success which seems to be theirs
They expect to give another concert
in the near future. Look out for the
date.
