Red 21 Residence, - Black 21 J. W. BURLEIGH,Editor and Pnb. J. R GARDINER .Manager j i The would be aristocracy of the democratic press of Nebraska met in Lincoln the other day—Dictator Howard, Clown Maupin, On to Richmond, and a num ber of lesser lights, who are foot-washers of the Peer less Bryan, including our own postmaster-editor, and had a genuine row over “Who’s Who” in Nebraska as headkeeper of the circus and official ringmaster. How-’ard, of course got himself on the committee on resolutions, and when brought out for the delectation of the humbler democrats huddled about the room, it was found that a profound silence, so thick you could cut.it with a knife, had been observed regarding the 'demo-senator and other bourbon congressmen. When tile editor of the Star and Maupin protested against such significant silence, they were thrown over the transom instanter, and the resolutions went through a la Bryan. It was not intended the inner secrets of the editorial meeting should ooze out, but a democra tic editor could not be expected to keep a secret, hence it leaked out and gave Howard a chance to unburden the whole thing upon the public. You see it was a Bryan job lot that gathered, and the other fellows were supposed to be absent or keep their mouths shut. Next week Tuesday comes the special election on the court house proposition. There is not a voter in the county but will admit Sherman county needs one badly; admits the records are in a fire-trap, and knows full well that in case of their destruction end less litigation would result. But there never was an advance movement made that there were not knockers and the present campaign furnishes no exception. Many a man who is arrayed against the proposition spends more money for tobacco each month than the expense they would be to each year in taxes because of that much needed public building. Why not put aside your opposition and join hands with your pro gressive neighbor in securing this great improvement. Frank J. Taylor of St. Paul, brother of our E. G. Taylor, has filed for the democratic nomination for congress in this, the Big Sixth. The dailies have be come so used to credit all candidates to Broken Bow, that when the Bee, the other day, spoke of Mr. Taylor filing, gave his home at the capital of Custer county. Frank Taylor is a mighty popular man in this neck ’o the woods, but when he expects to down Moses P. Kinkaid we are rather of the opinion that he has tackled the biggest job of his life, and really don’t think for one moment that he can succeed. Judging by the press as a whole, the people are not overly enthused with the prospects of war with Mexido, and the great advocate of peace, Bryan, is not placed on a bed of flowers by his admirers or non admirers. Bryan is now where he can send the other fellow to fight the battles of his country, and he is in no danger of being called upon to do any fighting. And if he were, he would find it necessary to be in Washington to look after other matters, and leave actual warfare for the other fellows as he did in the Spanish-American war. And now our friend, Ross Hammond of the Fre mont Tribune, is being tickled with the gubernatorial bee, and may file for chief executive in this state. If that’s so, we’re for Ross, provided Will Mellor does not shie his castor in the ring for the same office, as in that case we’d feel bound to stand up for Bill as a home product. Either one of ’em is head and should ers above the messy stuff being handed us by the democratic bunch. Rah for Ross or our own Bill Mellor, which ever it may be. Gov. Morehead has given it out solidly that the amendment printing will go only to democratic papers. When Gov. Aldrich was chief executive, he handed out a goodly portion of the amendments to be pub- . lished to democratic papers, but you’ll never find a democratic governor doing that.

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 iiouse fur the transacting of the county business, and to provide suita ble offices 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 an old brick structure and in poor repair, and not fireproof, and wholly inadequate for the ser vices required and unsanitary in every particular, and the vaults are not fireproof 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 tire, 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 &Dd 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 rhe health of any unfortunates who may have to be in carcerated therein, by reason whereof the (»unty 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 board, 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 notice, 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, fco-wit: To the Legal Voters of Sherman County, Nebraska: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That at a special election to be held in said county on Tnesday, May 12th, 1914, there will be submitted to the legal voters of said county, for their acceptance or rejection, the following proposition, to-wit: “Shall the Board of County Super visors of Sherman county, State of Nebraska, for and in behalf of said county, issue the bonds of said coun ty in the sum of seventy-five thousand (•$75,000.00) dollars, of the denomina tion of $1,000 00 each, for the purpose of purchasing material for, ana build ing, erecting, constructing, furnish ing and completing a fire-proof court bouse with jail in connection in said county, in the city of Loup City, the county seat of said county, on block four (4) of the original town now city of Loup City, the county seat of said Sberman county.
