Nebraska It is amusing to read theupKions and viowd expressed by the press on the question of selecting delegates to the Republican national con sntirsi from Nebraska But the cor census favors the selection of other deleg ites than th e now holding high official positions in the state in which Thk Tribune heartily concurs Not that holding of 11 position is a bar to becoming a delegate rutthe rather that holding such official position should not be used as a lewraH to secure the coveted place on th delegation Tho average office holder in Nebraska is in no wise super ior to the average of tho rank and file of Nebraska Republicans the plea of sending strong men and able dons not in an wise preclude the naming of non officing holding men 1 One of the old corpoiation guard Christy of Clay county takes it upon himself to express tho opinion and senti ment of the Fifth district upon the question of the primary Of course it is against the primary system But The Tribune doesnt recall the name just now of any politician of the Chris ty typo x who dbes favof the primary system to the caucus and convention as manipulated by the gang And as the primarjvsystern becomes more familiar to the people and is amended to meet conditions prevailing they will like it tho better But the politicians of a 17 Thurston g j certain type can never be expected to 12 8 2 4 12 1 Valley 8 Washington 12

engaged in interstate commerce from discriminating against the members of labor organiztions in the matter of employment was called into question by the case of William Adair vs the United States which was decided by the supreme court of the United States today favorable to Adair The opinion was by Justice Har lan and held the law to be re pugnant to the constitution The court held that Adair as master mechanic of the Louis ville Nashville railroad had the right to discharge an em ploye because he was a member of a labor organization just as it is the employes right to quit such employment because of his mem bership in such organization Such a course the decision added might be unwise but regarded as a mere matter of right there could be no doubt Congress could not under the constitution authorize a violation of contract under the guise of protecting in terstate commerce The Missouri supreme court todav in the opinion by Judge Burgess decided that the law requiring that free return trans portation be given to shippers with each carload of live stock by the railroads of this state is unconstitutional on the ground that it is a discrimination in rates against other shippers and in violation of the fourteenth amend ment to the federal constitution in that it takes property without due process of law The case was appealed to the supreme court from Linn ccunty where trie Doara 01 railroad commis sioners brought suit against the Burlington road The lower court sustained the commission ers contention and the railroad company appealed The su preme court overruled the de cision of the lower court and the1 proceedings are ordered dismis sed Governor Sheldon is fortun ate in the possession of sound ideas and courage of expression on many matters In
