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.

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. That there be submitted to
the legal voters of said county at a
special election to be held therein on
Tuesday. May the 12th, 1914, the
proposition which is set out fully in
the following form of notiSe, which
is made a part of this resolution,
which said proposition it will be
necessary to carry, in order to enable
said board to provide a suitable and
proper court house and jail for said
county, to-wit:
