Judge Hopewell has served two
terms as lieutenant governor and has
proved himself a man to be trusted.
As presiding offiVer of the senate the
lieutenant governor can wield a tre
menduous influence and Judge Hope-
ell has always thrown his influence
pon the side of the people.

Thf hiirhlv rnnrnl srent.leman who

refused to dine with Lorimer before
he had finished picking from his promi

genheim dinner, is now presenting the
not unexpected spectacle of a boasted
progressive advocating the re-election
of a Henry Cabot Lodge in Massa

WILL GET THE BLAME.
No one will deprecate the awful
tragedy at Los Angeles more than
the trades unionists of the country
yet tr.ides unionism will be blamed
for the horrible deed. We may now
expect union haters to rush to the front
and point out "one more awful murder
by uniou men."
It ia all useless to ask. men to with
hold judgment until the facts are 'made
known. They will jump at conclu
sions. The verdict is already made up
the tradfs unions are guilty in the
eyes of those who are either ignorant
of the true meaning of trades unionism
or actuated by selfish motives to op
pose unionism. Those who know what
trades unionism means know fall well
that the Los Angeles tragedy is not
the fruits of trades union teaching.
Some freuzied fanatic carrying a
union card inuy have exploded a bomb.
It has been done not because the man
carried u union card but because h
was a fanatiA Unionism as a whole
should no more be judged by the ac
tioim of one union man than that the
church of Jesus Christ should be
judged as a whole by the fanatic who
offers his child as a sacrifice to re
lig'ion.
The Los Angeles tragedy is the out
come of fanaticism on both sides in a
controversy that has caused heart
aches, hunger and suffering. Harrison
dray Otis his become crazed on the
subject of anti-unionism. There is no
other explanation of his actions. In
all his fight against unionism he has
been aided and abetted by selfish men
who seek to profit by exploiting labor,
and by politicians who sought place
and power. As a result Los Angeles
has been in turmoil for months. Ts it
any wouder, theu, that some poor devil,
hounded by subservient officers of the
Uaw and blacklisted by haters of or
ganized labor, sought to revenge him
self upon the arch enemy f
Mkid you, we do not believe that
the Los Angeles Times was destroyed
by a bomb. There is nothing to prove
that to have been the case nothing
more than the desperate effort of a
crasy man to further discredit men
who have dared to fight for their
rights.
The finding of "bombs" at Otis
residence or rather, the report of find
ing them within a couple of hours
after the Times building was wrecked
casts more suspicion upon the police
and the Otis crowd than it does upon
organized labor. Due allowance, too
must bo made for the zeal of reporters
anxious for "copy."
Organized labor should, and will
at and out and not only denounce vio
lence of -ll kinds, but it should lend
every effort to solving the mystery of
the Los Angeles explosion.- It should
make manifest its opposition to meth
ods of violence. It should ferret out
the conspirators, it such there be, and
make an example of them.
Organized has nothing to fear from
the fullest and freest investigation. It
methods are as open as the light of day,
It admits that it makes mistakes. But
it points with pride to the fact that
t profits by its mistakes. It
records of achievements in the inter
est of downtrodden humanity is the
best answer it can r.:ake to those w
seek to make 'it appear that organized
labor is huildcd on violence and mai
t lined through intimidation.
Honestly, brethren and friends, we
do not believe that if county option
is defeated that state house visitors
will slosh around in whiskey to their
knees; neither do we believe that if
ounty option prevails that business
will be ruined or that the millenium
will be ushered in. We are too busy
making a living to grow excited about
this so-called issue.
The Methodist conference has adopt
1 resolutions denouncing Dahlman.
'e haven 't heard of it if the confer
ence adopted resolutions denouncing
the prayerful hypocrite in the "amen
orner" who employs virls at st-arva-ion
wages, compelling them to sell
themselves in order to keep fouIs and
bodies together.
ANCIENT LUXURIES:
Hev. H. 11. Il.irmon of Lincoln be
lieves that God's business ought to
be advertised in a business-like man
ner. The greatest trouble we se.e
about carrying out such a policy is
the fact that the men who are loudest
n their churchly professions are too
often trying to cover up their methods
of carrying on their private business.
Silver Lined Cooking Utensil Used
Twwity Centuries Ago. .
While the housewife of today may
reasonably pride herself on the con
veniences which her kitchen affords,
she need not smile too superciliously
at the thought of the makeshifts of
days long gone by. She would certainly
not do so were she to spend a little
time Inspecting the kitchen and other
household utensils that were In use
2,000 years ago. as exhibited in the
national museum at Naples. Sauce
pans lined -with silver, pails richly In
laid with arabesques in silver and
shovels handsomely carved Ugure
among the household goods of those
times.
An egg frame that would cook twen
ty eggs at once and pastry molds
shaped like shells suggest luxuries of
the kitchen of 2.000 years ago. Grid
irons and frying pans, tart dishes and
cheese graters were in use then as
now.
The Roman lady's toilet table was
well supplied. Ivory combs, bottles of
perfume, pots of cosmetics, buttons,
hairpins and even a hair net of gold
wire figure in the museum.
Bronze thimbles and spindles are to
be seen among the relics. The Roman
lady even hud her safety pin. for there
is a specimen of this little convenience
which, before the one in the Naples
museum was found, was believed to
be a strictly modern invention.
The Ronmn lady, however, apparent
ly lacked one essential. She had no
hairbrush. Neither had she a glass
mirror. All the mirrors in the museum,
with one exception, are of silver or
some other white metal. The excep
tion is a dark purple piece of jilass let
into the Wirll of a bedroom at the
house S;ecchhT-tirPouipeii.
In surgical Instruments the ancient
world was rich. Those found nt Pom
peii deprive modern science of the
credit of more than one invention.
Needles, probes and forceps resemble

Governor Shalleuberger need have
no regret over the causes that led to
his defeat. The truth is the causes
leading to his defeat are the highest
tributes that could have been paid to
a clean, capable, businep-like and
moral administration.
Sinbad managed to rid himself of
the little old man that straddled his
neck, in which matter Sinbad seems
to have been more fortunate than
President Taft, who is still carrying
Richard Achilles Ballinger on his
shoulder.
Twelve years ago Bryan pictures
were exhibited upsidedown in Lincoln
as a mark of derision by a lot of peo
ple who are surprised that Candidate
Aldrich was treated with respect and
consideration in Omaha.
Mr. Aldrich asserts that the brewery
and distillery business of Omaha rep
resents less than two per cent of Oma
ha's grand biwicoys total. But it
seems to hold about !0 per cent of
Omaha's attention.
Had 1'resident Taft been as quick to
pronrise spoils to the proveives as he
was to issue injunctions against wage-
earners, there might have boon a dif
ferent result in several republican pri
marios.
Perhaps you have noticed the looi:
of surprise upon the face of Senator
"Billy" Lorimcr when he was - con
fronted with the news that some one
had aetnnllv bought a few votes for
him.
.If all the Xebraskaus who have noth
ing to conceal about their past lives
will step to the front to denounce
Dahlman because of his life -story, the
resultant silence will be oppressive

THE CZAR'S LEAVINGS.
A Doubtful Honor That Was Rejected
by a Polish Girl.
In Russia royalty is so revered thai
to the loyal subject it seems a great
honor to follow the cznr. The govern
ment is eminently patriarchal in the
ory, at least and the emperor must
supervise as well as patronize the
schools. At the Easter festival the pu
pils are1 treated with especial favor.
Young girls of the upper classes of the
Imperial Girls' school are driven in a
long procession through the streets in
the imperial carriages. The pleasure
for them is only that of being, allowed
to take a drive in a stylish court car
riage, with coachman and footman in
the imperial livery. There is nothing
special to be seen.
The theory of this is that the czar
stands in a sort of higher parental re
lation to all these children. When he
once a year visits one of these schools
to which only the children of the
nobility are admitted it is a custom
that as a sijjn of bis favor be drops
his pocket handkerchief, nnd the girls
all scramble for it. tearing it in pieces,
so that each one i-aii j;et a fragment.
He takes the 'most brilliant "jrirl to
the table and tastes of the food of the
institution' It is valued as the highest
distinction when be gives one of the
girls his plate with what is left upon
It. It is the custom and usage for her
to eat it with delight shown in all her
features. !reat was the astonishment
of Alexander II. when a young girl, a
Pole, whom the czar had taken to the
table as being the most distinguished
scholar of the iustitute aud to whom
he had passed what was left of his
meat and potatoes, nodded to a servant
aud calmly gave him the czar's plate
to take away.
An Unfair Attack.
Piefro was working with a gang at
railroad construction. He had been
told to beware of rattlesnakes, but as
sured that they would always give the
warning rattle before striking.
One hot day he was eating his noon
luncheon on a pine log when he saw a
big rattler colled a few feet in front
of him. lie eyed the serpent and be
gan to lift his legs over the log. He
had barely got them out of the way
when the snake's fangs, hit the bark
beneath him.
"Son of a guna!" yelled Pietro.
"Why you no ringa da bell?" Everybody's.
The Superior Quality
of Service
Service to our customers is the basis upon which
we have builded successthe superior service of our
salesman, coupled with the superior service rendered by
the goods we sell. Getting rather than giving seems to
be the sole aim of many concernshouses which are
not high class, and really not important enough to affect
the growing demand for high grade clothing. Such is.
not our policy. We are looking for the continuous cus

JUDGE HOPEWELL
Lieutenant Governor Hopewell is
candidate for re election, and he ought
for numerous reisons, be re-elected
by an overwhelming majority. First,
he has proved bis ability, his honesty
nd his fairness us a presiding officer.
Secondly, his democratic opponent,
Ralph Clark, neither by temperament
nor association fitted fo the position.
Judge Hopewell is in sympathy with
the people in their every effort to
prevent the corporations running things;
Mr. Clark is by in?tis:-t a corporation
ist. As the democratic floor leader in
the last legislature Mr. Clark took
good rare of his corporation friends
whenever opportunity afforded.

to feel grateful to Mr. Clark. PretenXl

Forgot Once In Awhile.
The he.-ulli or I lie Iwnl.v as well as :t
the uiim: depends upon forgetting. To
let the memory of a wrong, of angry
words, of petty meanness, linger aud
rankle in your memory will not only
dissipate yonr mental energy, but it
will react upou the body. The secre
tious will be diminished, digestion im
paired, sleep disturbed and the general
health suffer in consequence. Forget
ting is a splendid mental callstuenic
nnd a good medicine for the body.

MRS. HENRY HUCKINS.
Passes Into the Great Beyond After
a Lingering Illness.
Mrs. Henry Huckins died at the
family home, Eighteenth and O streets,
last Sunday morning, after -a linger
ing ' illness.-' A few months ago the
"white plague" laid its hold upon
Mrs. Huckins, and despite the best' ef
forts of physicians and all that loving
hands could do it speedily claimed its
victim. During the long weeks of her
illness Mrs. Huckins was the same
1. right, cheerful woman, the same, lov
ing helpmate, and her chief thought
was 'not to -be a burden upon those
about her.
Mrs. Huckins was a woma.n of more
than ordinary culture and ability. A
graduate from -the Peru normal school,
she taught school for a time and
achieved success in that profession. She
possessed marked talents -as a' writer
and proved a great help to her husband
in his newspaper business. But above
all else she was a homemaker and
delighted most in the ta&ka of making
her home a resting place for those
she loved and for the many friends
who were always welcome. The funeral
services were held last Tuesday. To
the bereaved husband and relatives
