The Republicans of Clay county
courageously did what the Republicans
of Red Willow county failed to perforin
endorsed Hon W E Andrews candi
dacy for the United States senatorship
Ho deserved better at the hands of Red
Willow Republicans
It is always easier to stand pat
than it is to progress The Republican
is tho party of progress Better still
beats well enough It takes courage
to meet the demands of growth ad
vancement and changed conditions
Tho Republican party has always hadd
courage to do what in wisdom more than
inexpediency seemed right
The Republicans of Furnas county
went out of their way in their late coun
ty convention to go on record as against
a state constitutional convention which
is desired in the main to create new
offices and increase the salaries of those
already in existence It is a quite
generally admitted fact that a constitu
tional conventu n is really needed It is
also notorious that Nebraskas state
officers are insufficiently paid A con
stitutional convention intelligently and
patriotically conducted would be a boon
to Nebraska One controlled by the
politicians and corporations might fall
far short of a blessing But tho present
constitution is inadequate and tho voters
of Nebraska have repeatedly shown
themselves unable and incompetent to
correct the matter at the polls

In the Outlook Mr F II Spearman has
a little sketch entitled The Nerve of the
Road which written in Mr Spear
mans characteristic forceful style will
interest many readers The railroad
holds an indescribable fascination for
most people Who when he sees a long
string of moving freight cars does not
stop to count them What is as splen
did in its own peculiar way as a well
equipped passenger train So we always
read with more rather than less absorb
tion of all that has to do with the life
of the rails
One of the most scholarly of recent
contributions to western history i s
Frederick J Turners The Diplomatic
Contest for the Mississippi Valley the
first installment of which appears in the
May Atlantic The work contains a
great deal that will not be found in the
familiar accounts of the Louisiana pur
chasetho most important event in our
national existence The vast territory
comprehended within the designation of
Louisiana purchase the most important
event in our national existence The
vast territory comprehended within the
designation of Louisiana was acquired
by what seems at this distance of time
to have been little less than a miracle
and when we contemplate the situation
we tremble for what might have been
had we not so readily gained control of
the Mississippi
The Judge is a short story of some
merit one that will appeal more strong
ly perhaps to the layman than to the
lawyer The incident recorded may have
happened though one doubts whether
it did and is inclined to brand it as
romantic fiction
The Common Lot is a Chicago story
written by a Chicago man and should

reading Thomas Weutworth Higgin
son has an essay entitled Part of a
Mans Life Intensely Human The
writers name is of itself sufficient re
commendation Those who are familiar
with the literary style of Samuel Mc
Chord Crothers will instinctively turn
first to his essay An Hour with our
Prejudices Those who have not the
advantage of his acquaintance can have
no better introduction to him than
through the medium of this article No
more delightful essayist is producing
today Of those who have written he
takes rank with Charles Lamb
In the Century The Sea Wolf is pur
suing its somewhat remarkable course
Not since Stevenson has the reading
world read the like of it Jack London is
no such artist as the older writer not
yetat least but Jack London is young
and will doubtlessmprove A mans
tastes change though early impressions
often remain Perhaps a re reading of
Stevenson would disclose him in a differ
ent light to that in which he blazed
forth to a boy However that may be
Jack Londons romances seem not quite
to have attained the standard set by
Stevenson or even by Stephen Crane in
some of his shorter stories

many years with rheumatism says W

Xrx Uedljeval Cities
Theit can be no doubt that one rea
son why cities did not grow so rapidly
In the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turies as in the nineteenth is the ex
cessively high death rate that pre
vailed during the earlier period The
flood of immigration mighty as it was
did little more than make good the
places of those citizens who fell vic
tims to grievous sanitary conditions
From the facts that can be obtained
it seems to have been universally true
that almost up to the beginning of the
nineteenth century the death rate of
large cities exceeded the birth rate
This was not because the birth rate
was abnormally low but because the
death rate was abnormally high In
the mediaeval city both birth rate and
death rate were far higher than at
present Infant mortality must have
mounted to a grewsome height The
uncleanlinesr and overcrowding of city
dwellers now largely relegated to the
slums of our great cities was the nor
mal state of nearly all classes of so
ciety in the London and Paris of Louis
and Elizabeth Professor Edwin O
Jordan in Popular Science Monthly
Consul ICiiipr David
This amusing anecdote of LamartineH
Is related by the Baroness Bonde in
her volume of letters Shortly after
the revolution of February he wrote
on the blank leaves of his pocketbook
the names of his protegees and sent
the list to be provided with places im
mediately Previously however it
seems he had scribbled David on
the page and the head of the cabinet
appointed the said David consul at
Bremen the postulant however never
came forward and though the poet did
not like being disturbed M Hetzol
was obliged to ask who was the David
on His list
He who danced before the ark
was the answer
Oh dear I have gazetted him to
Bremen
How very singular I meant him
for a subject for meditation not for
nomination But you can cancel It
The moniteur registered the chan3
but few knew that the last consul ap
pointed to Bremen was King David

philosopher that a woman will get a

play golf
Thats so agreed the man with the
incandescent whiskers
And continued the offhand philos
opher she will get a ball gown when
she cares nothing about dancing and a
tennis dress when she wouldnt play
tennis for fear she will freckle and n

of going into the water and a riding
habit when the very thought of climb
