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.

. .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

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.

It is unfortunate in more ways

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.
