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

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

A LATE PICTURE OF SECRETARY TAFT
William Howard Taft secretary of -war and leading Republican presiden
tial candidate was born In Cincinnati Sept 15 1S57 A graduate of Yale and
Cincinnati Law school he began work as a reporter In 1887 he became judge
of the superior court of Cincinnati In 1800 he was appointed United States
solicitor general in 1S92 he became United States circuit judge in March
1900--he vrsnt iahs Philippines to oranla the American government there

Panama and to American interests throughout the world
The constitutibnality of the
act of congress of June i 1898
prohibiting railroad companies
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

Governor Sheldon is fortun

ideas and courage of expression

to realize the highest justice and
equity and the least failure and
wrong in the application of laws
are coming to the point mention
