'I'hcre is an elTort on thc part of some men in public lifc to rc- store the position of vice-prcsi- dent to the place in popular estimation - mation which was intcnded hy the framcrs of the constitution. At prescnt the position is regarded - ed as a refrigerator for political ambitions-a sop thrown to men of the second class , 'l'his idea is an incorrect estimatc of the place. 'fhe uncertainties of life make the sccond place on the national ttc1et extremely important - ant , and the many mcn who have becn advanccd to first place by reason of having acccpted the - vice-presidencY is sufficcnt1y convincing - vincing of that fact. Presidcnt Roosevelt is a striking illustration - tion of the possibilities of the vice-presidency. The time should come whcn high political ability should aspire to thc sccond placc on the ticket and the contest should be as spirited as for the first honors. Therc is some disposition on thc part of thc candidates for different higher offices to use their little hammer. This is to be deplQ ed. There is no reason why the political fight ma. } ' not be madc in a good natured way. Recriminations will not have a beneficial result , There is a disposition - position on the part of the a vcr- age voter to resent " } mocking" tactics and such a campaign will , result disastroush' . for those who' ' persist in that.mcthod to gct votes. - Nothing could mae a happier new year than the spirit of thc moment. Only the croaking few scc trouble now or to come. Money is' almost as frec as bcforc thc flurry , trade expands , fac. torics resume and another gencr- ous crop is almost in sight. The great prosperity play gocs on. The report that the telegraphers - ers were planning another strike next June-aftcr the disastrous results of the rec nt affair-do not seem creditable. The organization - zation requires greater cohesion , better discipline and a larger strike fund before becoming involved - volved In more trouble. . The fashionable boarding ; school attended by Evelyn ( Nesbit ) 'fhaw has bccn forced into bankruptcy as a result of the notoriety sccured by her connection - nection with it. If the school was anything like her diary- written while therc-pcrl1Jps it didn't close any too soon. The head of the whislev trust claims that the people of prohibition - tion states drink more boo2e than in those commonwealths having high licensc. Unless he comes out-soon-in faver of prohibition - tion it will be quite evident he's a-mistaken. . , . . - - - - ' - - A New York woman had h'br husband exhumed twcnty days after his burial-in oreIcr to have him photographcd. Some men are sure cnough in hard luck , They can't get away from their wives even by "croaking. " If everybody was as good as everybody expccts everybody clse to be---the parsons would have to dig ditches for a livelihood and evangefists would get no glory for their good intentions. Since the prohibition movement - ment in the south the tailors now m = 1.ke the Kentucky Colonel's hip pockets a half gallon si e instead of a pint.

'rhe ratio of apportionment will be one dclcga te from each coun ty and one for cvcry 150'otcs cast for the presidcntial clectors four years ago. 'l'his is a part of the prescnt primary law. 'l'he different - ferent counties will hold precinct caucuses and a county convention very much as the1 did undcr the old law. 'I'hcre IS no provision in the prescnt law for direct primary procecdings in thc matter - ter of electing delegates to the National convention , but th committee got as near to a direct primary proposition as it cou1 < 1. 'l'he committee adopted rules providing for the printing by thc state commit tee of bal10ts with the name of all announccd candidates - didates for president thcreon which will be sent to thc chairman - man of every county , on the re- qucst of the county committee , and these tickets will bc uscd hy the precincts and thc individual votcr . will be givcn an opportunity - ity to.cxpress his preference for presidcnt when he attends the precinct caucus. This votc for presidcnt will be can\'assed and returncd by the prccinct committeeman - teeman to the chairman of the county committee and by him to the chairman of the state committee - mittee and the voteon prefercnce for presidcnt will be thus de- termined. 'I'he different precincts - cincts will ex ress their prcfer- ence for prcsldent and at thc same time clect deleates # to a county convl.ntion which , in turn , will elect delcgatcs to a congres. sional and state convcntion , and these deleg-ates so selected will elect two delegates from the congressional - g-ressional convention and four from the state convcntion to attend - tend the National convention at Chicago , June 16th. I think this system approaches a direct vote on the presidential - preference ference by the individual as nearly as the present primary law will justify. . " 'I'he date of the county con. vention and the date of the prc. cinct caucuses and the date of the congressional convcntion arc left to the different organizations of the county and district and will soon be announced.

While the Brokcn Bow laud office is not as great a factor iu the community as a Statc ormal school or a federal court it does contrhu.te : vcry largely to the husincss interests of Broken Bow. In thc past year thcre has bcen about 600 c tires made ; ol e hundred - dred forty Jinal proofs ; enc hun- rcd tift ) ' contests tried at thc ofi ce , which brought no less than 600 ligigants and witncsses , Not less than twenty five hundrcd pcople visit Brok u Bow aauually in transacting land ofIice busi- ncss. These pcople all contribute - tribute more or lcss to the hotels , rcstaurants , mcrchants and other uusines intercsts of lhe town. It provides a salaq' list for officers and employes to the amount of $ ( ,00 a month , which is all s cnt here , It provides quitc a revenue for the attorneys whosc money is also distributcd in the community. But thc interest the oflice is to Broken Bow is small compared with which its location IS to the gcneral public. 'I' here . arc yet morc than a million.acres of goverment land in the Broken Bow land district subject to homestead en try. As fully 90 per cent of..thc homesteaders that arc now entering land are from the east an south , it is a great accommodiatian for them to stop off at Brokcn Bow an consult . the recor s and plats to. find where they want to go to look for land. Selecting lheir land they return to' Brokcn Bow on thcir way homc , make their entry. If the ofIice at Broken Bow was discontinued and the greater part of the district assigned - signed to Alliance as was contemplated - templated bv the recommendations - tions of itispector Macy , the homeseckcrs would havc to have gone to Alliance to consult the plats , thcn back 100 miles' to selcct his land , thcn return to Alliance to file and thcn return home , making an cxtra tra\'el of about 400 miles , besides three or four da.s extra timc and expense. In the aggregate the extra ex- pcnse would amount to severa I ; thousand dollars annually to the : pcople. " " " - : . . - . " .

'rhe fact that these offices are self-sustaining indicate ! ! that there is all ahuudnnce of business to he done at both placcs.
