Senator Dietijicii feels constrained to
explain that ho is not a success in face
tiae He doesnt love U S District
Attorney Summers Not a wee bit On
tho contrary will continue to hato and
fight him while life lasts But hatred
is a poor foundation upon which to rest
a great or good career Those who livo
by the sword are in lino to die by the
sword Let the senator first establish
his innocence and Summers malice and
tho people wont do a thing to Sum
mers he will soon sneak away into de
served disrepute and his name become a
hissing But is still up to the senator
to make pood And for tho fair
name of a United Senator and of Ne

that he has the proof and will establish
his innocence If he is innocent the
first act of his should be to bring suit
against his attorneys for malpractice
It must be pleasing to Dean J L Mc
Brien and his many friends over the
state to note the numerous exprtssions
from the press of the state favoring him
for nomination to the state superintend
ence of public instruction Mr Mc
Brien has served as deputy superintend
ent for almost four years and has won
his spurs by thoroughly efficient and
satisfactory work in the states educa
tional department He is the logical
man for the place ho deserves the nom
ination perforce of tho faithfulness and
worth of his stewardship The service
of his chief Mr Fowler has been brilliant
and able and this happy state of affairs
has been brought about in no small de
gree by the energetic wise and persistent
efforts of his deputy Mr McBriens
life work has been that of a teacher and
he has passed through all the vicissi
tudes of the teacher in country and city
schools as superintendent of city
schools county superintendent and de
puty state superintendent hence has had
large and varied experience along practi
cal lines and these coupled with his spe
cial educational preparation and qualifi
cations make him a particularly desir
ablo and valuable man for the position
of state superintendent The Tribune
feels that the state convention will make
no error in tendering him the nomina
tion and that without contest

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Tho announcement of the subject of
Father Stritchs lecture has provoked so
many inquiries in regard to tho Holy
Grail or Graal which is tho preferred
spelling that it seems not inappropriate
to devoto our space this week to answer
ing them Tho legend runs for so far
as can bo ascertained there is no founda
tion in fact for thestory that Joseph
of Arimathea having received permis
sion from Pilate to remove the body of
Christ from the cross went first to tho
room where the Last Supper was held
and securing there the cup or bowl from
which Jesus had eaten the paschal lamb
caught therein drops of blood from the
Saviors wounds It may be well imag
ined that extraordinary virtues would be
ascribed to a relic so holy By its aid
Joseph was said to havo been sustained
in jail 42 years without food Another
who merely took off tho cover was stuck
blind while it instructed its possessors
in knowledge of the better world
One authority says According to
Catholic theology where the body or the
blood of Christ is there by virtue of the
hypostatic union are His soul and His
divinity That the Giaal such being
its contentsshould be marvelousdivine
mysterious was but logical and natural
The Graal was the commencement of all
bold emprise the occasion of all prowess
and herioc deeds the investipation of
all beauty and goodness the marvel of
all the marvels
Joseph of Arimathea is suppised to
have brought the Graal to England
TheEncyclopaedia Britanuica says The
authorship of the conception involves
one of tho most difficult of literary ques
tions One English writer seems to
maintain the view that it can be attribu
ted to no individual but was the spon
taneous outgrowth of a group of widely
prevalent superstitions in all which a
magical cup or divining bowl was the
central object Others find the ori
ginal home of the legend in Provence
while a noted French authority is of
opinion that the original conception
comes from some Welsh monk or hermit
who lived early in the 8th century that
its guiding and essential import was an
assertion for the British church of an
independent derivation of its Christian

ity direct from Palestineond not through
Rome Lastly it is maintained by En
glish writers generally that the concep
tion arose certainly on British ground
but in the 12th century and not in tho
8th
Tho word Graal is believed to have
been derived from the Latin word gra
dale or graduate a collection of psalms
and scriptural toxts and to refer to the
mysterous book containing the story
Subsequently tho word was mistakenly
applied by a French writer to the cup
itself Many versions of the legend are
extant and it has formed tho basis of
poems and romances in nearly every
Christian country from tho 8th century
to tho present time Tho French were
especially fond of tho story as wore the
Germans while it forms the theme of
ono of the early English classics Tho
History of King Arthur and his Noble
Knights by Mallory which by tho way
is scarcely more than a prose translation
or adoption of several French poems em
bodying the story The Arthurian le
gends were again retold by Tennyson
who curiously omits mention of the fact
that tho Graal was supposed to contain
tho blood of Christ

Created Wealth
Something from nothing a garden
from a desert Such is tho history of
irrigated sections Take land that sells
for 50 cents an acre put water on it and
it sells for what There are quarters
of land in irrigated sections of Colorado
that cannot be purchased for 20000 and
which earn a remunerative interest on
that valuation
And yet you can purchase irrigated
lands where the soil is perfect beyond
belief where the water supply is plenti
ful and inexhaustible where climatic
conditions are healthful and exhilarat
ing where fuel is abundant and cheap
for from 15 an acre up
thk reasons
The North Platte Valley extending
from Bridgeport Neb to Guernsey
Wyo and the Big Horn Basin Wyom
ing have been but recently made avail
able for settlement by the extension of
the Burlington railroad into those sec
tions Tho irrigating companies must
have settlers along their ditches and
they offer substantial inducements in
shape of low priced water rights and
lands
HOW LONG WILL THIS CONDITION
CONTINUE
None may say surely but it wont be
for long and the sooner jou invest tho
cheaper will you be able to do so for the
advance is just as sure as has been the
advance in the price of similar lands in
other sections

Climatic Cures
The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn Tho poor patient too can
do much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion and a regular
use of German Syrup Free expectora
tion in the morning is made certain by
German Syrup so is a good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and debilitating night cough
sweat Restless nights and tho exhaus
tion due to coughing the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive can
be prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup liberally and regularly
Should you be able to go to a warmer
climeyou will find that of the thousands
of consumptives the few who are bene
fited and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup Trial bottles 25c
