Fire Commissioner Ridgell is hot, and the more he thinks about it, the hotter he gets. “What in thunder is the use of having a penitentiary if the par don board is going to let people out as fast as we put them in?” exploded the fire commissioner the other day, when he heard the board had paroled Richie, a ipan sent up from Thurston county for setting fire to a pool hall, admitted it, got sentence of 1 to 20 years and was let out at the end of 10 months and 1 day. The fire commissioner says arson is one of the most difficult things to secure conviction on and he thinks of little use to convict if the board is to undo the acts of the courts. To a large extent a court sentence does not spell much to the evil doer. . . 4 Wonder how many lawyers will be left in Omaha to do business, after the grand jury indictments of le gal luminaries are finished, and the courts get action on the cases. Quite a number have been indicted for blackmail, the latest being no (ess a personage than John 0. Yeiser, attorney for the state pardon board, candidate for the republican nomination for governor the spokesman for the Roosevelt forces in Nebraska and for over 20 years a leading Omaha attorney. And t the Bee is to be given credit for perforating the stink bag and scattering the perfume broadcast over the city. What next? The Democratic United States senate has voted down the resolution to provide for a constitutional amendment giving the ballot to women. The result was 35 to 34. It would have required a two-thirds vote to pass the resolution. Norris of Nebraska voted for it, but Senator Hitchcock’s name was noticeably absent from roll call, It would be interesting to Ne braska people to know how he stands on that great question. It is a shame to refuse women the ballot, and at the same time grant it to all kinds of he-males, good, bad and indifferent. There is no justice in it. Anxious, office-hunting democrats are having all kinds of fits because Gov. Morehead has come out as candidate for congress in the First district and refuses to again become a candidate for governor. This mix democratic medicine all up, and the governor’s ambi tion means a jobless lot of patriots. And that hurts. RESOLUTION, NOTICE AND PROPOSITION. Whereas, Under the laws of the State of Nebraska it is made the duty of the County Board of Super visors of each county in the state to provide for a safe and suitable court house for the transacting of the county business, and to provide suita ble oflices for the accommodation of the county officers and court rooms and officers for the accommodation of the several courts of record of the county, and tire-proof vaults and safes, for the safs keeping of county records, and to provide a safe jail of sufficient strength to hold prisoners. And Whereas, Sherman county's court house is^n old brick structure and in poor repair, and not tireproof. and wholly inadequate for the ser vices required and unsanitary in every particular, and the vaults are not tireproof and not of sufficient ca pacity to hold the records of the county, and many of the valuable records of the county affecting titles to real estate are in no way protected against lire, and some of the more valuable records are protected by reason of the board through necessity having hired bank vaults outside of the court house. The county jail is an old frame structure, and is not of sufficient strength to hold prisoners, and is un healthful and unfit for use. And Whereas, By reason of the aforesaid condition of the court house and jail of said county the record title to each tract of real estate in said county is in danger, also the court records and the records involving the estates of deceased persons are unsafe and liable to be destroyed by tire or otherwise, which might result in endless litigation and great expense. And the unsanitary condition of our jail is dangerous to the health of any unfortunates who may have to be in carcerated therein, by reason whereof the county may become liable in dam ages to those confined therein. Now, therefore be it resolved by the Board of County Supervisors of said county of Sherman, in the State of Nebraska, in regular session met at the court house in Loup City, Ne braska, the county seat of said coun ty, and the usual place of meeting of said beard, on the 18th day of March. 1914.
