Office Phone. Red 21 Residence,* Black 21' J. W. BURbEIGH.Editor and Pub. J. R. GARDINER Manajrar. It is barely possible the executive committee of the state editorial association at Lincoln bit off more than it can thoroughly masticate when that august body essayed to speak for the entire editorial fraterni ty on the state fair pass proposition, as other papers, as well as the Northwestern, have taken exception to the autocratic action of the committee, notably the Ord Journal, for one. In publishing items in the past regarding and boosting the state fair, this paper has never done so with thought of the pass proposition, in fact has known while doing so that the editor would not be able to attend any one of the past three fairs, yet has published year after year these fair boomlets with more or less regularity, and as was intended by the editor to help build up and increase an ipstitution of state-wide benefit to the agricultural and stock growing interests of Nebraska. And yet some bone heads would have you believe that the editors of the state were publishing perhaps $50 and upwards for a pasteboard admission to the fair. Hm! huh! For the third time in the past few months, the voters of Loup City downed a proposition to vote bonds for a new school house The first proposition, to vote bonds in the sum of $30,000 for a new high school building, was defeated by only three votes; the second for $25,000 defeated by about a baker's dozen, and now this last one, for $12,500, for east and west wing attachments on the old building is buried un der a 31 majority, and by those favoring the $25,000 or $30,000 propositions, but could not stand for the last proposition, which to them stood as a monument of cheapness, selfishness, inefficiency and even at the present time inadequate to the needs of the school district, not considering the future. Too bad that the people will not stand for a modern, sanitary, well lighted, well heated, well ventilated, fire-proof and up-to-date home in which to educate our children. 1 Elsewhere in this paper will be found a much needed City ordinance, that of regulating the dog nui , sance. For years this city has been the dumping ground, seemingly, for every stray and worthless cur from the country round, and nothing was done about it. Only a short time since, as we noted at the time, a number of dogs killed a couple of 100-pound shoats in a pen in this city, and numerous runaways and ac cidents with teams have been narrowly averted after horses had been scared by dogs running after them. Owners and harborers of dogs will do well to acquaint themselves with the provisions of the ordinance. The pardoning by Governor Morehead of Kenneth Murphy, one of the four young men who murdered a ranchman named Sellers in Cherry county some three years ago and sentenced for life, has caused the great est indignation among the people of that section of the state. Cody and the country roundabout are espe cially sore about it and call the‘governor’s attention to pre-election promises, etc. But they all promise i that way and afterwards do just like Morehead. The pardon of Mrs. Lillie by Gov. Mickey is an instance. No one man should be given such power. Elsewhere in this paper will be found the names of the gentlemen named by Chairman Long to serve as a general committee from the various townships to boost the new court house proposition. It is a live bunch of boosters and will prove indefatigable fight ers till the last gun is fired and the last vote registered which will insure the erection of an up-to-date, fire proof and safe homq for our public records The state railway commission refuses to let the Union Pacific people pull their motor off the Callaway branch. Evidently the people on the branch had on their fighting clothes as representatives were present at the hearing before the commission at Kearney from Callaway, Stapleton, Gandy, Oconto, Miller, Arnold and Amhearst in opposition to the taking off. An anti-suffrage club has organized in Omaha this week among the women. We never could un derstand why women could work overtime to deprive herself of her just rights. Evidently those that do, belong to the “lean-to” order of womankind, who let the masculine fraternity do the thinking for them. When the Mind U Ripened. No man can learn what he has not preparation for learning, Uowevei near to his eyes is the subject. A chemist may tell his most most preci ous secrets to a carpenter, and he shall be never the wiser—the secrets he would not utter to a chemist for an estate.Our eyes are hold en that we cannot see things that stare us in the face until the hour ar rives when the mind is ripened; then we behold them and the time when we saw them not is like a dream.— Emerson. May Do Good Work Unknowingly. Chemists show us that strange prop erty, catalysis, which enables a sub stance while unaffected itself to Incite to union elements around it. So a host or hostess who may know but little of those concerned may, as a social switchboard, bring together the halves of pairs of scissors, men who become lifelong friends, men and women who marry and are happy husbands and wives. Horrlblt Death In Elevator Shaft Powerless to move, a man named Fulmer, employed at an abbattolr, lay at the bottom of an elevator shaft at Philadelphia. Pa., the other day, and waited the descending lift, which crushed him to death. The man had fallen into the shaft, and his cries for aid were drowned by the noise of the machinery. The man fought desperately against the freight laden elevator. His body was flattened al most to the thinness of paper. Bearer of Great Name a Menial. Somebody has discovered on the electoral roll of the city of Melbourne i a gentleman named Oliver Cromwell, i who by occupation is described as a | “theater packer.” The duty of the ! “packer” is to squeexe as many peo ple as possible into the pit and gal ! lery. There have been complaints in ! Melbourne lately about his ungentle j methods and hia unchivalrous handl ing of women. Tender Heart. An Irishman, being asked by his angry master what he did to the dog every day to make him cry out as If cruelly treated, replied: “Cruelly I trait him, yer honor? Not I! I never could hurt a poor dumb crathur in me loife; but yer honor bade me cut his tail, and so I only cut a little bit off every day. to make it more easy for him." Warm Enough? While coaching a class of children for a little play, the teacher told the boys that in the third act they would have to wear their heavy overcoats, as that would be the snow scene. Af ter a short silence a little fellow about seven years old raised his hand and said: "Teacher, father can't finish my overcoat in time because he works late: but will it be all right if I wear my heavy underwear?" Carlyle’s Caustic Humor. By a great and extraordinary piece of magnanimity the prime minister of the day offered to make Carlyle a Grand Cross of the Bath in a very ad mirable and interesting letter, to which Carlyle replied in a perfectly worthy way. But Carlyle in private said—he was then very old: "What should I do with a G. C. B.? They would say Grand Cap and Beils.” What Astonished Legal Expert. "The Declaration of Independence is a wonderful document," said the patri otic citizen. “Yes," replied the legal expert “It's one of the ablest docu ments I ever saw. And the most re markable thing is that with all the ability it represents, nobody appears to have received a cent for drawing it up." Feared He Had Lost Papa. A minister was called from the dtn ner table to marry a couple. The youngest child, a boy of four or five years old. heard his mother say that the father had gone to marry some body. After a brief silence the boy looked np, and* with a quivering lip asked. “Won’t he be our papa any more?”—Christian Register. Where the Exerciee Came in. Even doctors are not always literal In their prescriptions. “You must take exercise,” said the doctor to a patient “The motor car in a case like youra gives the best exercise that—” "But I cannot afford a car on insurance pay,” the patient growled. "Don’t buy one, just dodge ’em!” said the doctor. Odd Looking Tree. The giant pine at Wakanoura, near Osaka, Japan, is a remarkable tree, the main stem of which rises from a mass of roots more than ten feet above the ground. These resemble the tentacles of a giant octopus or devil fish, giving it a weird and uncan ny appearance.—Boys' Magazine. Those Good Old Times. Bobby's grandfather often referred to the good old days when such com modities as meat, vegetables, fruit, etc., were grown and prepared at home. One Cay at dinner the minee pie was praised. “Put I'll bet," de clared the five-year-old boy loyally, 'it’s nothing i-ke the pi* that grandma used to make when she raised and picked her own minces; is it, grand ma?” Rich Sugar Beets Grown In England Recent experiments seem to have | shown that richer sugar beets can be i grown in some parts of England than are produced on the continent of Eu rope.
