THE REPUBLICAN , OUSTER COUNTY , NEBRASKA. This City Has A Double Indivduality. Kvery person has "two selves" and so has every city. In the human personality there is the pushing-forward self , and the pnlling-back- ward self. In the civic personality there are the same two forces , actively at wrok. This newspaper in its policies , in its prac tices , in its editorials , in its advertisements , rep resents the pushing-forward civic-sejf ; and it opposes , and shames ( let us hope ) the reaction ary forces in this civic life not least among which is the old heresy that business can pros per , or grow , Avithout the aid of newspapei ad vertising. ii iinmnMiiiTTniiii Tii iii'Hainiiniiinr ' iTn-nrrTTi m rr r- HAVfi INTRODUCED 100 BILLS ( continued from page one. ) The value is to be taken as the the property stands on July 1 , 1909 , on the basis of the cost of replacement and is to include the value of all real estate , value of all grading , value of all bridges , buildings , water stations and other structures used by the road , all track material , tools , signals , etc. , all telegraph and telephone material ownul by the company , all stores and supplies ou hand , value of all rolling stock which , in the case of an in terstate road shall be the proportion tion justly chargeable to the part of the road lying in the state ; value of sllops and machinery , and all other articles and things belonging to and necessarily a ' part of the road Proper reduc tion is to be made for wear and tear and the valuation completed in the Tear 1910. To Ilegulalc Stock Yards. \ A proposed law that will be of < decided interest to the live stock "raisers and shippers of the state ig H. R. 145 , introduced by Tay- Mjor of Hitchcock , which provides for the regulation of stock yards. ' declaring them to be public mar- * "kets and fixing maximum charges for yardage and feed. The bill H reduces yardage charges about 20 per cent from current rates and "peimils feed charges of 50 cents , per bushel or hundred-weight , as the case may be , above the pre vailing retail market price of the feed used. This bill , if it became ! .an operative law , would save .Nebraska fanners and shippers large sum per year but with Sen ator Ransom , the Omaha demo cratic leader dominating the 'democratic majority in the senate the fate of this bill may be watch cd with interest by all who desire it enacted into law. $10.001) ) to Faithful. . .The democratic legislature realizes that the country is pros perous and that money is "easy. " Appropriation bills of * 20,000 to pay the incidental expenses and $80,000 for salaries of members and employees of L the legislature have already pass ed both houses. As the members cannot draw in excels of $39,900 for their services fcr the session this leaves thi goodly sum of $40,100 which may be disbursed among faithful democrats who get on the pay roll as "em ployees. " Tho. senate already has employed more persons than the law allows to that body and to get around the difficulty Sena tor Ilowell has introduced a bill to repeal the law. That the House is not sure thai all its em ployees are rendering full value for the money paid out is shown by the adoption of a resolution empowering the chief clerk to discharge any employee for in- competency or failure to perform duty. Appropriation bills are now in for the purchase of the private Normal School at Wayne Nebr. , for$100,000 , for new build ings at the State Normal at Kearney for $100,000 , many lesser amounts for various purposes and , the general appropriation bills not yet formulated. great anxiety to take the fees away from the clerk of the * su preme court , that office being being held by a Republican , a Democratic bill in the house pro poses to give to the clerks of the district court all the fees collect ed and a slice of salary in addi tion from the county funds , not a consistent position in view of the party attack on the so-called "fee system. " Maiy changes in the primary laws are proposed ranging from the election of pre cinct assessors to the rotation of names on the primary ballot , and as many amendments are offered to the general revenue laws , one represented by several bills de ducts the bum of any mortgage from the taxable value of real es tate and places it on the owner of the notes and mortgage. A proposed law requires itinerant venders of drugs and cure-alls to pay a state license of $100 per month and another practically abolishes capital punishment by requiring the governor to set a day for execution of iho condem- cd criminal.

" . - WORKING WITH "INSURGHNSTS" ' ( continued from page one. ) , man himself , has missed otic or 'more of the meetings. More than i jcar ago I became identi fied with the demand for the very 'reformation of rules now being sought as a letter which Cou- gressman Hayes has volunteered ; to give me and which I shall send you , will verify. I was one of the first to advocate a change in the rules especially reserving the right to the members of the house themselves to name the standing committees , and that is the prin cipal thing now being sought ; at an'rate by a majority of the "insurgents. " However , this idea was not new to me by any means when I be came identified with the move ment during the last session for I was an active factor in the leg islative session of 1883 of Nebras ka in establishing the first ( pre cedent that members of the State Senate that Senate themselves name the members of the stand- ng committees with the chair- lan of each. Hitherto the Lieu- enaut Governor had named the landing committees of that body few republican state Senators f whom I was one , joined with o called independent republicans ml demoerats and carried the pposilson of other republicans ml possibly a few democrats. 2vcr since the session of 1833 his precedent has been followed and I have even since'becn an ad rocate of the rule and principle and for at least a year have been working for the adoption of the ule in our National House of Representatives. As I have not carefully scrut- nisjsd what reports sent out from icrc to Nebraska dailies have contained concerning my identi- y or non-identity with the "in- urgents , " I am unable to meet all the possible reasons that may exist for the impression to which your letter refers , but in the last cw days it has come to my cnowlcdge that the World Her ald made some insinuation if not accusation , against me for not attending the dinner given by Congressional Gardner of Mass , o the "insurgents. " Having mentioned this to Mr. Gardner , 10 volunteered to write me a let- cr which I enclose for publica.- ion and which I will let suffice or the World Herald item. I shall enclose also a letter rom Congressman Hayes for mblication. For more than a vcar , in fact since when the com. nittces were being made up in the first of December , 1909 , I lave constantly experienced and suffered the disadvantage iuci- lent to being classed in opposi tion to the speaker. If it be a fault to not in each instance have called the attention of the reporters to so common a place matter as my having at tended a meeting of the "insur gents" , I must plead guilt ) ' thereto. Assuring you , and through your valuable paper , my consti- tutcnts that I hold myself in readiness to fully meet any speci fic charges of ommission or com mission at any time , alleged as to the speakcrship proposition and thanking you for your solici tude , the pains you have taken and for the space , I remain , Very truly yours.

TUG WATTS BOOK-STORE CHA.W.IlolcomTD evening to Arrow Chapter No. 164. 164.It It is unfortunate in more ways than one that trains are so often Iclayed for one reason or another is 39 was on the evening that Mrs. Scott arrived. The large attendance of members of Arrow Chapter and visiting members .torn ' nearby chapteis , Anselmo , Merna and Ansley were thereby made the loosers , as the instruc tions from the Grand Officer and the social period was consider ably shortened ; owing to the late ness of the hour. Many of the out of town visitors , were oblig ed to leave before meeting was over and before refreshments were served. In 'spite of the drawbacks it proved to be a very profitable and delightful evening , one long to be remembered by those fortu nate enough to be able to be present. Mrs. Scott left Thurs- lay morning for Ansley. D. Of II. INSTALLATION.

A physician in a small town in northern Michigan got himself into a serious predicament by his inabili ty to remember names and people. One day , while making out jpa tient's receipt , his visitors name es caped him. Xot wishing to appear so forgetful , and thinking to get a clew , he asked her whether she spelled her uamo with an e or i. The lady smilingly replied : "Why , doc tor , my name is Hill. " IDENTIFIED. "This , " remarked Mr. Cane , "is my photograph with my two French poodles. You recognize mo , eh ? " "I think so , " paid Miss Softe , "Y"ou arc the one with the hat on , arc you not ? " MOTIVE IN DOUBT. Jinks Mr. Manton says ho never , spoke a harsh' word to his wife. "Yes , " remarked a lady , "but was Umt duo to kindness or caution ? , That's what I should like to know.
