are for county option. By common

j so many conflicting reports. As the
[.alter stands, the names of Senator

which will appear on the primary

Some of the Northwestern readers
are inclined to accuse us of giving
forth a goodly quantity of “hot air’’
in our railroad article of last issue.
Even were it so. the said heated
atmosphere through the columns
would not compare with that caused
by the article in the ensuing dis
cussions over the matter pro and con.
some taking the optimistic side of
the article, while others again
develop decided pessimistic depres
sure. But, boys, the Northwestern
was not giving superheated imagin

will have further and better news in
the near future. Now is the time to!
stand up for Loup City and Sherman

W. R. Mellor Lectures
On the “Psssion Play”
Next Sunday evening, at the
Methodist church in this city, W. R.
Mellor will give a description of the
"Passion Play," which he and Mrs.
Mellor viewed at Oberammergau,
while on their sightseeing trip across
the big pond. Mr. Mellor gave a talk
on the Passion Play at St. Paul's
M. E. church in Lincoln last Sunday
evening and we append the follow ing
from the Daily Star of that city,
showing it a most interesting event:
"The description of the “Passion
Play" at St. Paul’s church last night
by W. R. Mellor was of great interest
and the attention given was remark
able. it was said by one who watched
the audience closely that hardly a
head turned during the thirty-five
minutes of his address. And the
theme was worth it. For it dealt
with the representation of the great
est sacrifice of the ages, the death of
Jesus Christ on Calvary. And as the
speaker told of the pathetic scenes of
that tragedy out of which have
grown all the hopes of the followers
of Christ that sins mar be forgiven
and told of the sobs that swept over
the great audience when the mother
of Jesus saw Him on the way to His
crucifixion, the Lincoln audience sat
breathless wondering in their hearts
if they really comprehended the won
derful story.’’

Frank E. Beeman
Republican Candidate for Congress.
I am a candidate
for the republican
nomination for Con
gress from the sixth
district. I believe
in good government
a square deal, and
that the Roosevelt
policies should be
put into operation.
i naic ama>a umi
opposed to boss rule
and macnine politics. I believe in
representative government: in gov
ernment by the people and not by the
corporations, i believe in loyalty to
republican principles and the pro
tective tariff, but do not believe that
downward revision has been fully
accomplished, particular! ywitli ref
erence to the woolen, cotton, lumber
and wire schedules.
1 believe a congressman should
have convictions and courage enough
to vote them: that he should not
dodge, side-step and vote “present:”
that he should not insurge at home
and stand pat at Washington. That
he should keep his anti-election
promises and vote against Mr. Can
non for speaker after having prom
ised the people to do so: and he
should not vote to tax barbed wire
at f 15.00 per ton after publicly an
nouncing that it should be placed on
the free list. A congressman is elect
ed bv the public and paid by the
public to serve the public and not to
serve himself. He should be satis
tied to render public service for the
public salary and not seek to further
enrich himself at the expense of the
public by acquiring coal lands in
Alaska belonging to the public
domain. His duty is to conserve the
public resources and not to absorb
them unto himself, and Mr. Bal
linger's assistance in acqniring a
coal claim in Alaska is not sufficient
proof of either the regularity or the
ethics of the transaction.
FRANK E. BEEMAN.
Bob Mathew Abroad
Pakis. France. .lune 30tli. 1910—
I>ear Mr. Burleigh: Xow that I have
left the British Isles after a very
pleasant twelve days spent there. I
will try and tell you a few ot the
impressions I received while there.
I had been led to believe that the
English dislike Americans but found
that such is not the case. They have
been very kind and polite to me and
museh interested in American in
stitutions. especially our skycrapers.
I saw no buildings there over seven
stories. I noticed American goods in
almost every store: ••shops" they call
them, typewriters, watches, sewing
machines, shirt waists, shoes, even
automobiles. ‘-American” drinks
may be secured at the confectioners,
American cooking is advertised at
many hotels and American roller
skating rinks are very popular. Mr.
Vanderbilt, an American, just a day
or so ago won the coach-and-four
drive, this being one of the leading
sporting events in England. They
tell me he is well liked here. The
British Isles would be pleasant to
live in. I believe, everything is kept
up in tine shape, there being beautiful
gardens, lawns, hedges and trees
everywhere. Business opportunities
are- lacking, however, especially for
the Door, who are paid *5 or less per
week for their labor. Another mis
taken idea I had was that living ex
penses were very cheap. I priced
various commodities and found that
meat, groceries, eggs, butter, etc.,
are higher than at home. Clothing
is a little cheaper here. A suit that
can be bought for $20 at home will
cost $23 here, but the American suit
will look the better of the two. If
we were as scrupulously economical
as me European, with our great ad
vantages, we should all be rich in a
few years. The poorer classes, how
ever. seem to be happy and content
ed, though they unlike our people do
not hope to better their condition.
The tradesmen are quite honest.
After landing in Glasgow Rev. Mont
goraery and I spent a few days visit
ing various historical places in "The
Trossachs”, the Rolo Roy. McGregor,
the Burns and Sir Walter Scott coun
try in Scotland. As he was to attend
the World s Missionary Conference
in Edinburgh, we there parted and I
visited my aunt, uncle and cousins,
who are pleasantly located at Bristol,
England, a very beautiful city of
over a million people. My cousin.
Montague Worlock. will soon be ad
mitted as a solicitor in England and
I spent several days very pleasantly
in London, a very great city, with
tine parks, public buildings, etc. We
visited the various courts of London,
including that of the Lord Chief
J ustice of England. The cases are
tried by barristers in a very quiet
dignified manner. At the first court
1 visited I imagined they were wait
ing for witnesses or something. One
of the barristers was quietly talking
to the judge, apparently about the
weather] but it soon appeared that a
most important case involving ‘rates'
amounting to thousands of pounds
was being tried.
We visited Westminster Abbey and
the houses of Parliment. both mag
nificent. and many other interesting
places. We went to a theatre, "The
Whip'', in which among other in
teresting things was a real horse race
between five live horses running on
movable screens right on the stage.
’ On the way here I stopped a day
at Rouen. France, at the aeroplane
races, seeing eight aeroplanes in the
air atone time. With kindest regards
to all. Yours truly,
R. II. Mathkw.
