Why Not Elect
Postmasters
Following is taken from a letter!
recently sent by Senator Hitchcock to
a member of the Sherman county
democratic central committee in
answer to an inquiry by said gentle
man as to Senator Hitchcock’s stand
on the question of the election of
postmasters of the second class by a
vote of the patrons of the postoffices
interested. It would seem that the
Loup City postmastership would
come under the head of ‘•exceptional
cases.” As time passes along, we
find that instead of only one candi
date for this postotlice there is bob
bing up several, and as patrons of the
office here with hardly an exception
are strongly in favor of a primary
election to ascertain a choice, it is to
be hoped the selection of a Loup City
postmaster will be by a vote, rather
than otherwise. So far as we have
been able to ascertain all the candi
dates. save one, perhaps, favor the
selection by ballot. Senator Hitch
cock says:
i snail oniy iavor an election or
primary in exceptional cases, where
it is impossible to reach a satisfactory
decision without it. In such an
event, I would recommend that it he
confined to democratic voters or
those supporting democratic can
didates in recent years.
‘•A primary or local election may
be of some value or it may be of no
value. It is quite possible, for in
stance, if there were three candi
dates, no one would have a majority
and in such a case it would be a mere
minority choice and not of great
weight. In another case it might be
that two candidates were so close
together in an election that there
would be no great preponderance for
one or the other.”
Just Like Getting
Money From Home
Warren Miller went down to Dan
nebrog last Saturday night and wres
tled Mogensen of Bancroft, Mogen
sen going down in one-two fashion be
fore Miller in four and eight min
utes respectively. Mogensen has
been a pupil of Farmer Burns the
past few weeks and thought he could
get Miller's goat, but the latter had
improved so much that wherein it
took him some 45 minutes to lay out
Mogensen in a former wrestle here
a short time ago. Saturday night was
just like getting a check from home.
Mogensen was to go to Burwell Mon
day night and wrestle Ray Wilson,
their local pride. That was evidently
a nearer even match, and much easier
medicine for either than the Miller
mixture.
“All-of-a-Sudden
Peggy” Killed in
Auto Accident
Our readers who attended the play,
“All-of-a- Sudden Peggy” given by
the State University dramatic club
at the opening of the Daddow opera
house on the 27th of last November,
will be shock d to learn that Miss
Katherine Yates, who took the lead
log part of ‘ Peggy” was killed in an
automobile accident last week Wed
nesday evening in Lincoln, as she was
on her way to a play at the Oliver
theater. The State Journal of the
20th inst. contains an extended ac
count of the awful tragedy. Many of
our people met the talented young
Lincoln girl at that time and to them
especially, the news will come with
sincerest of regrets.
Good News From
Our Friend Rein
W. F. Mason a few days ago received
the following interesting letter front
Louis Rein at the Presbyterian
hospital in Chicago, where lie is slow
ly, but we believe satisfactorily, re
covering his normal seif. As the
letter is a breezy, interesting news
note from our nervy old friend, we
mav be Dardoned, and he can't at
this distance help nimself, for pub
lishing the main portion of the letter:
“Friend Mason: My recovery so far
from the operation three weeks ago
is complete. At least, the cut in my ,
back is all healed nicely, except]
where it is purposely left open and
prevented from healing by drain
tubes and gauze packing. Am there
fore on my feet again and walk the
streets, or rather, crawl a mile each
day. But as to the healing and cur
ing of the abcess and recovery from
it. if any, I am still skeptical. There
is still discharge, heat 101, every
morning, and weakness all around.
I am told that I look and am really
in much better shape than when 1
came here, but do not weigh a pound
more, nor do I feel any stronger. So,
you see. it is all in the looks, and in
passing upon looks, and especially
those that adorn your humble friend,
the verdict is a matter of mere taste.
Anyway, we will do the best we can,
and keep friendly relations between
the boil and the rest of the body
family.
“Chicago is the greatest city* we
have, in its individual caracteristics,
initiative and rustle, but it is, at the
same time, a smoky, dusty, dirty city
and does not offer much in the line
of outdoor pleasurable exercises.
The sun hardly ever shines, and never
like in Loup City. Then it is about
as noisy as possible.
“But it tries to redeem itself by
the frequency ahd quality of its ’beer
emporiums’ which become the object
ive points of daily walks. ‘Driven to
Drink,' for there is no other place to
sit down and rest. Even the church
es strewn along the streets in full
number do not do as much as Peter
Hogan’s buffet. corner of Ogden ave
nue and Wood, for the halt and
weary.”
Friend Lou dees not forget in clos
ing to send best regards to W. D. Z.
Doc, Chase, Burlap, Clint, Moike and
the balence of the gang of his best
wishing friends. Good old boy.
Song of Hope
There is a pill for every ache, a
salve for every sore, so let’s rejoice
and never make a rumpus any more.
There is a poultice for each head,
for every pain some dope; until the
doctors say i e’s dead, no man should
give up hope. I knew a man once
on a time, who had no store of cash;
lie said this world was but a crime,
and all its glories trash; and so lie got
a neighbor’s axe, and, by the old horse
trough, with sundry strong and skil
ful whacks he chopped his headpiece
off. Next week a lawyer printed ads
announcing that this knave had fallen
heir to heaps of scads, but he was in
his grave. The darkest hour, as
Homer said, is just before the dawn;
there’s often comfort just ahead,
when all the hope seems gone. There
is a syrup for each cough, a lance for
every boil, so never think to shuttle
off some yards of mortal coil. Mis
fortune hits us now and then, but if
we bravely grin, she’ll go pursuing
weaker men, and push their faces in.
There is a cure for every wart, a
plaster for each corn, so let us like
the colts cavort, and laugh our fears
^to scorn—Walt Mason.
For a Postoffice
Primary Election
Loup City, Neb., Feb. 25_Mr. J.
YV. Burleigh_Dear Mr. Burleigh: 1
wish to congratulate you in your ef
forts to secure a popular election to
decide who shall be postmaster here.
I am heartily in favor of sucli an elec
tion. I, for one, should like to see
you go a little farther and advocate
preferential voting, so that a major
ity and not a minority wo.dd decide
this matter. It could not possibly be
complicated, when there is only one
question to decide, namelv, who shall
be our postmaster for the coming four
years. Preferential voting is used in
the state-wide primaries of Wiscon
sin. It will be used under the new
primary law passed 'by- the direction
of Governor Wilson. It is used to
some extent in other states, among
them Colorado.
L,et me illustrate how preferential !
voting would work. Let us say that
the postoffice at Loup City has 800
patrons having the right to vote.
There are five candidates running—
Burton. Brigham, Schmidt, Rainy
and Hall. Each person voting may
give his second choice, and most of
them do. When the votes are count
ed. the result is as follows:
1st 2nd Total
Burton.250 56 305
Brigham.214 313 527
Shmidt.211 222 433
Rainy. 65 123 188
Hall. 60 46 106
The first choice votes are canvassed
first and show that no one has a ma
jority. In fact, Mr. Burton, who has
a plurality, has only 30 per cent of the
patrons who are willing to see him
postmaster. The second choice votes,
which are to be canvassed only in case
no one receives a majority, are now
added to the first choice votes, with
the result shown in the total. Now
as 800 votes were cast, 591 votes con
stitute a majority and Mr. Brigham,
wh received 527 votes has a plurality
which is a majority of all the votes
cast. There are only 273 men who
have not voted for Mr. Brigham eith
er on first or second choice, and his
election would give far greater satis
faction than if Mr. Burton had been
declared elected on first choice, with
only 250 votes. Very respectfully,
R. E. Dale,
Judge Hostettler
Home from Panama
Judge Hostetler and wife, and
Frank F. Roby and wife, returned
last Wednesday from an extended
journey through the south, visiting
a great many places of interest, but
none that gave them so much in
structive interest as their visit to the
great ocean to ocean canal. Judge
Hostetler lias devoted some time to
telling us what he saw, but lie is
never finished. He thinks the canal,
its vast' machinery, the gigantic
dredges that remove a car load of
earth and stone at a single scoop, the
sy m metrical engineering feats, the dis
cipllned army of 40,000 or50,000 work
men, and the canal is worth the cost
for any man or woman to see, and he
says nobody can fully understand its
magnitude unless they see it. While
the weatheronthe isthmus was warm,
he says not a mosquito was seen and
he never enjoyed such excellent
health, both on land and water. He
says Mr. Roby always answered when
asked on the vessel how lie felt, “Oh
I am feeling fine,” but for long
periods at a time he was hidden away
and looked like a fellow whose dinner
hadn’t agreed with him in all its de
tails. There is no doubt but the
party had the most enjoyable trip of
their lives_Kearney Democrat.
