It is none too early for Richardson -

'L ' lie coming session of thc
English parlatllcnt promises to be
a stormy one. 'vVe think it would
hc worse to bc a king with a parliament -
liament on his hands , than to bc
a president with a congress on
his hands. At least , it sounds
worse.
Willie Hcarst might give considerable -
sidcrable impetus to his prcsidcn-
' tial boom by promising pub-
lic that he would endeavor to increase -
crease thc circulation of the Congressional -
g-rcssional Record by adcling-
comic supplement , and that he
would inject plenty of amber
hued sensationalism into his Message -
sage to cong'ress.
1'Irs : Maybrick has been releases -
leases ; from prison. Now , out of
thc lime light of publicity , may
she depart in pcace. For lo ,
these many years , has her name
appeared periodically in thc pub-
lic prints and enterprising corrcs-
pondents have had her almost
free many , many times. Guilty
or innocent , may she pass into
oblivion and bc forg-ottcn. She
will doubtless appreciate it.

thc Cosmopolitan lung a xi n e
thinks that wc are in thc eve of a
world war and cries aloud to all
thc other nations of the world ,
"rrhe Russians ' 11 get you , if you
don't watch out ! " He thinks that
soon the Russian bear will divide
his ! : time between drinking whalcoil
in thc Arctic regions and munching -
ing cocoanut in the tropics and
I that St. Petersburg will be thc
capital of the world. In that day
will thc words of our own prophet
come true and there will bc no
more Fourth of July.

GOVERNOR MICKEY.
The organization Roosevelt
and 1\Iickcy clubs at various Ne-
hraska towns , comes as thc first
expression of republican sentiment
as to the rc't1011lination of our
present chief exccut \'c. That
this : .cntimcnf will grow and br-

come as nearly unanimous as such
things ever become , goes almost
without saying. As far as the
discharge of thc duties of his
ollice is concerned the administra-
tion of Governor IvIickey has heed
eminently satisfactory ; , and it is
by this standard alone that he
must bc judgcd. Not only by
prcccdcnt , but by his own merits.
John H. Mickey will be reno l1i-
natcd and re-elccted governor of
Ncbraska. The republicans of
Nebraska will prove as loyal to
him as to President Hoosevclt.
A POOR EXCUSE
The last issue of the Pawnee
Chief contained the following editorial -
torial :
"Frank Reavis' paper , The
Falls City Tribune , is shedding
large crocodile tears over thc ap-
pointmcnt of Johnny Martin : as
court stenographer by Judge Kel-
ligar. The Chief is not greatly
concerned over the appointment
of a republican reporter by a
democratic judge for politics
ought not to enter into the judi-
ciary , and everyone acknowledges
1Ir. Martin to be an exceptionally
competent reporter. Then again ,
the editor knows of no competent
-dcmocratic stenographer in the
first district who would acccpt
.
this plum. tl'he appointment
suits the people , and if thc poli-
ticians don't like it just let them
howl. It costs little effort and
docs no harm. "
Thc above is a cheap attcmpt
on the part of a democratic editor
to garb a flagrant wrong in the
robed or virtuc.rl'he Tribune
made ; its remarks about th'c ap-
pointmcnt of John ? \ 'I ' u tin some
weeks ago , but it was only last
week that the editor of the Chief
felt "callcd upon" to make any
reference to thc matter. Just
who it was that applied the
thumbscrews to 1\11' Overdcn and
thus produced this wail , must . re-
main a matter of conjccturc.
The earnest student of the pol-
itical history of thc first judicial
district can come to but one con-
clusion-John .Martin bctraycd
his party for a sum of money
equal to that set forth in thc
statutes as thc compensation of a :
court rcporter. IIang' obtained
control of a republican news-
paper , hc conducted his campaign
of slander and Yillitication , not
because hc hated Rcavis but be-
cause hc loved thc lucrative posi-
tion that he held. By so doing ,
he , and he alone , brought about
the election or Judge Kcl1ig-ar
and he got his reward as far as
dollars and cents g'o.
Benedict Arnold betrayed his
country and escaped to a British
warship which carried him to
England. But although England
had profited by his perfidy , hc
was received in London with con-
tcmpt. They accepted his ser-
.
vices , but they could not endure
the man.
John Martin betrayed his party
and was rewarded , but when hc
turns to the democrats of this dis-
trict for applause , thc silence is
opprcssi ve. The democratic party
feels toward Martin as the British
felt toward Arnold and the republicans -
publicans feel as thc Americans
fclt.
fclt.The
The editor of thc Chief makes
the silly excuse that there arc no
competent dcmocratic stenogra-
phcrs in the district. It docs not
require a master intellect to be-
come a shorthand reportcr. Any-
body with a fair education and
real determination can learn it.
Had Judge Kellig-ar appointed
Martin to serve only until another
had qualified there would have
been no objcction.
Ordinarilly there could have
been no reasonable objection to
the ; appointment of a republican
reporter by a democratic judge ,
but-circumstanccs alter cases.

ROCKEFELLER.
John D. Roc kefeller's offer to
donate ntone . with which to erect
a building to become a part of , the
University of Nebraska , has caused -
cd all kinds uf discussion , and
those who oppose the acceptance
of the gift seem to be in the
majori
The history of the operations
of John D. Rockefeller shows that
he has never been inclined to do
something for nothing. If the
people of Nebraska get anything
from him you can bet that they
are going to pay for it. It may
conic in thc form of a raise in the
price of oil , or it may come in
some other way , but one thing is
sure ; the ledger of John D. Rock-
efeller is going to he balanced in
the end.
It is not so much , however a
question of dollars and cents as it
is of moral effect and ethical rc-
action. After the magnificent
building had been erected and accepted -
ccptcd as the gift of the Stand-
ard oil magnate , it wunld bc
pretty hard for the young man
studying political economy at thc
University to keep his judgments
straight and to follow in thc footsteps -
steps of Professor Laug-h1in and
John Stuart IvIil1. "Vhcnever he
lookl ' out of a window and saw
the Rockefeller gift there would
bc sown in his mind fresh seeds
economic heresy , \Ve don't need
Rockefellers building- The great
state of Nebraska is able to main-
tain its university as it should be
nntintained and to supply all the
buildings that are nccessary.
