The death of Ex Governor W A
Poynter Monday following his address
before Governor A C Shallenberger
favoring the daylight saloon for Ne
braska constitutes a pathetically tragic
incident which has touched all hearts
The Tribune is not now concerned
with anayzing the motives personal or
political which actuated Governor
Shallenberger in signing the Daylight
Saloon bill It is sufficient for us that
he signed the measure with its possibil
ities for infinite good and hope of in
creasingly better things Upon the
basis of a manly and noble deed we con
gratulate the chief executive and accord
him a tremendously higher rating
The interests are esteemed to have
won a victory in the resent attempt to
defeat ttev bouse rules but doubtless
the fact could be better stated by saying
that they temporarily saved themselves
for such means and methods disclose a
rankness and rawness which must event
ually bring defeat to all who stoop to
such extremities in accomplishing poli
tical ends This much may be noted
The success of Cannonites was not
chargeable to failure of the insurgents
but to 23 traitorous Democrats A
straight Republican victory secured
by the purchase of 23 Democratic Bene
dict Arnolds is a spectacle not to the
liking of thoughtful American people
Every such working of the systems
machine which it may be noted is not
partisan or political will tend to make
more persistent and insistent the effort
of the American people to return to
original democratic principles in which
the people are accorded a fair and square
part in the affairs of government If a
victory twis dearly purchased
How the Vote Stood
It isinteresting to note tho vote on
the Daylight Saloon bill which pass

moment of its official life and which

Dear Mr Reed
I note in the telegraphic dispatches
from Chicago that McCook along with
a number of others was dropped from
the list of the North Central Associa
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools
at its meeting last week
TTnvinrr nnh lnwornd but rather raised
our standards during the past year and
having not received noiincaiion oi a
raised standard on the part of the asso
ciation wo are at a loss to know why
such arbitrary action should be taken
Any information will bo appreciated
Such a highhanded and arbitrary way
is not in keeping with the public school
system of the United States

My dear Mr Taylor
Replying to yours of the 30th inst I
beg to say that I can give you no def
inite information just now as to the real
cause of the telegraphic dispatches as
they have appeared relative to the sev
eral first class schools of Nebraska be
incr drormed from the list of the North
Central Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools I was unable to be
nresent at the meeting but sent my re
ports in to be acted upon The report
on the McUook high school was tavor
able and I can see no reason why such
reports were circulated However my
reports have not as yet been returned to
me As soon as I receive them I shall
be pleased to let you know the definite
outcome Trusting that the report is
erroneous and that we may be able to
get the matter straightened up at an
early date I am
Sincerely yours

PURLIC LIBRARY NOTES
-Nature always at her best in the
springtime is compelling our attention
to her miracle workingn Let us give a
hintof how the library can help to an
appreciation of the spring
iVOur Native Trees by llnrriet Keelr
is written as the author tells us in her
preface hoping it may commend itself
to those whose daily walks leud them
thorough our city parka aud open
commons and to those who feel that
their enjoyment of out door life would
be distinctly increased were they able
to determine the names of the trues
It is worth while to take time from
the rush and hurry of life to observe
the trees and their characteristics The
descriptions given in the book are not
too technical to be of interest to the
average reader
With the putting forth of the trees
and the return of the birds come the
reign of the flower folk and anticipat
ing a desire for better acquaintance
with the beauties of the field the li
brary has added How to Know the
Wild Flowers by Mrs Wm Starr
Dann This work is beautifully illus
trated many of the pictures being in
colors Then with Sharp Eyes and
Eye Spy by William Hamilton Gin
son Curious Hemes and their Ten
ants The Population of an Old Pear
Tree The Look About Club our
eyes should be opened to new beauties
and new joy in spring It seems Almost
a sin to walk with unseeing eye through
a world of God given beauty so ab
Borbed in daily cares as to forget to
really live TOr
The report for March shows a grati
fying increase in the use of the library
Tho total number of visitors for the
month was 2812 a daily average of 90
Total books loaned 1697 a daily average
of 57 to go into the homes
Anne of the Green Gables by L M
Montgomery is one of the new books
and to know this young girl with all
her enthusiasms her optimitn and
her vivid imaginations is to experience
what she herself calls a thrill
A complete set of Poes prose and
poetical works are placed on our shelves
of standard literature In this centenary
year of an American who ia reckoned a
great genius these books should be of
interest to those of literary mind

Household Hints
Either a little kerosene or a bit of
soap will stop the squeaking of the
door hinge
Cut sheets of tin foil and place under
the flower vase doilies and you will
have no trouble Avith any dampness

One of the new culinary appliances
Is a double flour sifter which deposits
the flour from the first to the second
sieve thus lessening the work of re
sifting it for certain cakes
To save many steps in the kitchen
have a small zinc covered shelf near
the range where hot food when re
moved from the oven may be placed
It also saves the table and you avoid
the danger of being burned while car
rying it across a room
for children safe sure No opiates
