'I'hursc1ay , Jan.fJ , 1908.
'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 -

a-mistaken.

If everybody was as good as

Republican State Committee Meeting.
A. R. Humphrey attended thc

mitee ml'eting last night at Lincoln -
coln as a member from this district -
trict , reaching home this morning -
ing , and in answer to the RIt-
PUBLICAN'S inquiry as to what
took place in the mecting said :
"The committee called a state
convention to meet at Omaha on
thc 12th day of MardI ncxt.
'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.
"Everybody in the cast end
of thc state Sl'ems to be for
Taft for president. If Roosevelt
had not eliminated himself the
whole state would have been for
him , 'faft is ncxt choice. "

SENATOR BURKETT IS LOYAL
Protects His Conrtituents Against the
Criticism of His Home Town.
- - - -
'l'he article of Seuator Durkett
agal11st clossing the Brokcn Dow
land office is Qnc to be commend-
eel. lIe shows himsel f able to
reali1.c that othcr localities than
'his homc town has rights that it
his duty to protect.
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.
