J. W. BURLEIGH.Editor and Pub. J. R. GARDINER Managar.
Some two years ago, four young men, or rather boys,
up in Cherry county, hanged a man, for which they were
sentenced to spend their lives in the pen. After two years
Gov. Morehead last week paroled the youngest lad, aged
17 years at the time of the commission of the crime. The
story of the crime is as follows: A ranchman had been
forcing his attentions upon a young girl, who told her
brother regarding the same. The brother and three com
panions hanged the ranchmen. They claim they did not
intend the death, but merely to scare him from bother
ing the boy’s sister with his unwelcome attentions, vet
after stringing the man up, became frightened away and
the death followed. Let that be as it may, the judge who
presided at trial recommended the release, and the gov
ernor so ordered, giving as a principal reason that the
I young man might attend the State University and finish
his education. And now comes the University authorities
quoting law to the effect that the young man on parole is
still a criminal and as such is barred from pursuing his
studies there. It would seem such a law was clearly un
just and in the nature of a premium on crime. As a pa
rolled prisoner, he is practically on good behavior and in
: charge of the state yet forbidden University education be
cause he is a convict. If the governor pardons him, then
he is no longer a convict, no longer in charge of the state,
entirely free of the state’s restraining influence, yet is then
free, we suppose, to become a University student. In the
first instance, the state is responsible for the young man;
in the second, is not more so than if he were never a
convict, Would not society and the University itself be
safer to give educational facilities to parolled convict than
a pardoned convict, in a general sense? It would seem
that a state educational institution with such a fool law
would better have it thrown over the transom and some
thing better enacted.
As to whether the parolling or pardoning of the con
vict above is for the best interests of society, that is not
the question; it is as to the law refusing to a parolled con
vict the same rights granted a pardoned or time-served
convict.
Since writing the above, we see a strong protest comes
from Cherry county against even the parole of the young
convict, but however that may result, the question in
volved remains unchanged.

January closed in Chicago with over a foot of snow
on the level and the mantle of white deepening rapidly.
The snow storm covered over Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Mich
igan and other states, with a regular blizzard raging at Co
lumbus, 0., and other points. Then only a few days pre
vious great floods prevailed at Santa Barbara, Ventura,
Los Angeles and Sunny Southern California. And here
in Nebraska we were and are having warm, balmy, sun
shine weather, with no floods, blizzards, heavy snows, zero
killer and only the slightest trace of winter. What a joke
on those who go elsewhere to find summer during winter.
Postmaster General Burleson recommends govern
ment ownership of telegraph and telephone lines. And
immediately comes the ever busy Bee, with the assertion
that during the regime ’ of Edward Rosewater, and on
down to the present, that great newspaper has always ad
vocated gpverment ownership and control of those utili
ties. Hence the democratic postoffice headpiece springing
nothing on the public but what was advocated by such
leading republican newspaper men as Edward Rosewater.

PASTOR PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH RESIGNS
Last week Thursday evening, at
the mid-week meeting, Rev. J. C.
Tourtellot, who has been pastor
of the First Presbyterian church
in this city for the past three years,
tendered his resignation as pastor,
to take effect the 15th of this pre
sent month, which was accepted.
We understand Rev. Tourtellot
has accepted a pastorate of an
Iowa Presbyterian church. Since
coming to our city, and under his
pastorate, the church has greatly
increased its membership, and the
Sunday school has doubled in num
bers. Rev. Tourtellot is a very
talented young man, a splendid
orator, and acknowledged by all
to be an earnest worker in the
Master’s vineyard. As we under
stand he has been called to a larg
er field and higher salary, no one
will find fault with the step he has
taken, though sincere regret is ex
pressed by the membership and
attendants on that church over the
loss of himself and his good wife
from Presbyterian and social cir
cles. The church will Immediate
ly take steps to provide for anew
pastor.

:i HER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT I
s
LBy C. K. KNOX. g
“Oh, Mrs. Lee,” cried that good
woman’s nearest neighbor, “will you
come over to my flat and see if I have
laid the pattern of my goods the right
way? I'm going to make a drees all
by myeelf, and 1 know Jack will be
awfully proud of me. You see, he has
the most absurd idea that I‘m just a
doll, and I'm determined to show him
that I am as capable as any young
married woman.”
"Certainly Mrs. Henry,” she said.
Then when her eyes fell on the pat
tern which was spread on the Henrys'
dining table, she exclaimed: "Why.
you’re making the bodice one way of
the goods, and the skirt the other. It’s
too bad but that will never do."
“Well, I don't see how 1 can ever get
the dress out of this piece of material
If we have to be so particular,”
mourned its owner. “It was a remnant
and I got it cheap. I want to show
Jack how economically I can get up a
costume.”
“When there’s an up and down de
sign,” Mrs. Lee said, smiling, “It is
necessary to have all the parts run In
the same direction. Still, by facing
the skirt instead of hemming it, 1 be
lieve there’ll be plenty.”
“I simply can't make head or tail of
the thing,” she said, as she held up
the bodice of her gown which she was
basting. “See what a weird shape it
is. I don’t believe the pattern is
right”
Mrs. Lee took the garment and ex
amined it critically.
Then she laughed.
“You have mistaken the sleeves for
the fronts, and basted in the under
arm pieces wrong side up.” she an
nounced. “I believe I’d better pin it
together for you the way it goes.”
Mrs. Lee had iced her cake and was
sitting down to her desk to write a let
ter when a knock at the kitchen door
took her back to the rear of the flat.
“Oh, I thought you’d be out here or
I’d have gone to the front door,” said
Mrs. Henry. “See, I’m ready to have
i you fit me. Haven’t I basted this up
1 quickly? Thank you so much for
i sticking in those pins. Now, I just
take it in where you’ve pinned, don’t
I? If you don’t mind I’ll sit down here
to do it, because, perhaps, it would be
j well for me to slip it on again for your
inspection before it’s really sewed.”
After another fitting Mrs. Lee re
basted the necessary alterations her
self and showed Mrs. Henry just
where to stitch the ee&ms.
“I forgot to ask if I could use your
sewing machine,” she remarked, sweet
“I’m Ready to Have You Fit Me."
ly. “You know I haven’t one yet, but
I’m sure when Jack sees what a stylish
dress I can make he’ll get me one.”
“Leave the upper thread quite long,"
said Mrs. Lee, after threading the ma
chine.
“What in the world do you suppose
is the trouble?" exclaimed Mrs. Henry
after a few moments of jerky stitch
ing. “The needle jumps up and down
and it isn’t sewing at all. Oh, dear!
Now the needle’s broken.”
“I’ll fix it for you.” Mrs. Lee rose
from her desk. “I'm afraid you left
the lower thread a little too long. It
tangled in the bobbin. Now, you see,
the new needle seems to run peace
fully.”
“Thank you. I’m awfully glad to
learn to run the machine because now
I can tell Jack that I know how. Oh,
dear. It’s acting up again.”
“Perhaps I’d better do the seams for
you, Mrs. Henry?”
“Oh, if you only will. I’ll glance
through the fashions in this magazine
of yours to get an idea for the trim- !
ming.”
When at last the stitching was done
Mrs. Lee kept her promise about fac
ing the skirt, having pressed the
seams after discovering Mrs. Henry’s
peculiar knack of ironing more
wrinkles in than out.
The next morning Mrs. Henry, glow- :
ing with pride, burst into Mrs. Lee’s !
kitchen.
“I came in to tell you that Jack Is j
simply delighted with my new gown,”
she announced. “He thinks I’m a per
fect wonder to have accomplished so
much yesterday. What do you think?
He says for me to meet him down
town this afternoon and he’ll buy me
anything I want for another drees.
You see. now that I can make my own
clothes I can afford to have a lot more
things than when I had to pay a dress
maker. Isn’t it splendid?

to pin in the sleeves.”—Chicago Dally

Lesson In Spelling.
Pay great attention! What does
this spell — Chough phtheightteau?
Well, according to the following rule.
It spells—it spells—Do yon give it up?
It spells potato, vis.: gh stands for p,
as you will find from the last letters
in hiccough; ough for o, as in dough;
phth stands for t, as la phthisis; eigh
stands for a, as in neighbor; tte
stands for t, as in gasette, and eau
ttands for o. as in beau. Thus you
