    Progressive to !
, Stay in Race
Against Bryan
Edward Sughroue, Third Party
Candidate for Governor,
Flays Brother Charlie
in Statement
I.lncoln, March 22.—Edward fiugh
roue, who appealed a week ago to
the progressives In the state for ad
vice In regard to his withdrawal from
the race against the governor, will
stay In the race.
"Partisan politics Is our greatest
curse,” Sughroue declared, "and has
resulted In the Federal Reserve bank
crime, the veterans bureau soandat
and the ell scandals. We must arise
as fres men and take the middle of
the read.
"Who will deny that paitlsan poli
tics ruled our lsst legislature,” Sugh
roue asked, “From the governor,
who should have set the example of
nonpartisanship, to the senate and
the house, I believe the state govern
ment should be a business institution
*md not the football of partisan poli
ticians.
"I, as a progressive candidate
against the present governor, who le
a recognized leader of one of those
old parties, have been requested to
withdraw by his friends and by the
heads of the four big railroad brother
hoods. The request from these lat
ter was astounding to me when the
prospects at this time for a national
third party are so bright. Is it pos
sible the railroad employes are going
to dash to earth the hopes of uniting
the farmer and labor vote?
"I think rather that those leaders
who signed the request for my with
drawal are a group of dominant men
who do not speak the sentiments of
the men that toil.
“I dare to do my duty, as I see It,
because I have faith In my brother
farmers and laborers, and the men
and women In Nebraska who are
freed. I will not withdraw in favor
of Governor Bryan.”

Indians Served
as Race by White
Man's Teaching
Lessons in Hygiene and In
dustry Given Credit by
South Dakota Su
perintendent.
Hr AnorWed Free*.
Pierre, 8. D., March 22 —Romantic
word pictures of a race that is vanish
ing from the earth, as presented by
numerous fiction writers, set forth a
condition that no longer has basis In
fact, according to C. F. Whitlock,
superintendent of the Pierre Indian
Industrial school, who pointed out that
owing chiefly to methods of sanita
tion which have beer taught th*
younger generation an approximate
10 per cent Increase In Indian popula
tion of the nation has been recorded
in the last decade.
Identical courses of study are being
followed in all nonreservation schools,
which include also those at Rapid
City and Fiandreau, he said. The
course is the product of a wide study
of state courses of study and is be
lieved to be Superior to most of them.
Its chief merit is provision for devot
ing one-half of the student's time to
practice work of vocational training.
Personal hygiene and sanitation In
home making are drilled Into the boys
and girls so thoroughly over a period
of years that they become fixed habits,
the superintendent explained. Back In
their homes, these students set a new
standard for the entire community.
The result Is so unmistakable, Mr.
Whitlock said, that taken together
wUh the small degree to which
Indians Intermarry with whites, there
Is every reason to believe the race of
native Americans will retain Its posi
tion Indefinitely.
Practical study of the care of milk
holds chief Interest of boy students
at the school. They operate the school
dairy In squads, caring for the 25
dairy cows, milking and keeping ac
curate records of milk production.
The Holstein herd maintains a high
standard of milk production and Is
one of the finest in this section of the
state.
The boys also care for the chickens
and hogs and under the direction of
supervisors operate all departments
of the 300 acre farm at the school.
During the winter they have built a
modem hog house and have nearly
finished painting roofs of all the
school buildings. There are also
dormitory squads, appointed in turn,
to care for the living quarters. Others
are janitors In charge of school build
ings and grounds.
Girl students likewise carry on their
part of domestio training. Details
alternate In dormitory, a modernly
equipped school laundry and a dress
making department, where hats and
garments for all students are supplied.
The recreation program Is well
taken care of, fitting In so systemati
cally that It Is scarcely possible tw
find at any period of the day a group
of students of any age free from their
schedule long enough to engage In
any extraordinary work, according to
Mr. Whitlock. Ko class of students
ara more appreciative or are greater
boosters for their school than these,
ha said. m

Everybody remembers those big

cause children will play in the streets,
and Omaha needs the childrjui. That
was A1 Scott. He signs his checks
A. C. Scott, but that is a mere for
mality.
In addition to being the head of
the Scott Tent and Awning company,
with a big branch factory at Seattle,
he is president of the Manufacturers
association, president of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, and a past
chairman of the executive committee
of that body.
This will give a little hint as to
how active A1 Scott is in the life of
the community. He was born and
raised on a (arm. and Is as familiar
with tha layout of a cornfield aa be

Many stories might be told to Illus

of the man, but here we will merely
state as a general proposition that
A! Scott Is not only a live wire In
the Industrial and commercial life
of the community, but In a quiet and
unostentatious fashion he has done
good works in other lines to a degree
thst even his closest friends do not
know all.
Not the least of his honorable rec
ord was what he did for the govern
