Why is it that we think the

promises to taken prominent part
in the coining spring election.
Remember that next Monday

The state records show that
the expense of maintaining the
State university at Lincoln for
years 1905 and 1900 was nearly
equal to one-fourth of all the
other expenses of the state.
Many are now beginning to
question the wisdom of pouring
so much wealth into one insti
tution and of starving the smaller -
er schools of the state.
That was a stormy session of
the city council Thursday even
ing , that is it was stormy for
the eager bidders. It isesti-
mated that the electrical sup
plies needed can now be bought
at a saving of several thousand
dollars on what it would have
cost a lew months ago. The
delay in the sale of the electric
light bonds now appears to
have been a fortunate thing for
the taxpayers of the city.
These are days of but little !
comfort for the pops. It is now
said that Brvan was in the
move to get Shellenbarger to
announce himself as a candidate
for governor on the democratic
ticket , thus snubbing Mr. Berge ,
whom many people thought was
entitled to make the race. ISf
course Berge is a pop. Pops
are not needed by the democrats
when it comes to nominations ,
but their votes are wanted when
it comes to elections.
Congressman Pollard took with '
him to Washington , some radical [
ideas. But they were home grown '
corn fed ideas from a Nebraska
farm and the } ' have thrived well
in the atmosphere of the national
capital. Since he has secured the :
adoption of some of these ideas
in the Department of Agriculture ,
the farmers of Nebraska have be
gun to sit up and take notice to
the effect that there really is such
a department and that it Can
really be made a benefit to the
agricultural interests of the state.

Lent.
Next Wednesday is Ash
Wednesday , the beginning of the
forty days' fast which ends at
Easier. It has been observed
by the church from the earliest
Christian time. It has been observed -
served in England by the Episcopal -
copal church since the Fourth
century.
Some would criticise the ne-
ccssity for the observance of
this season of the church year.
Can the Master's method of over
eighteen hundred years ago be
wrong or unnecessary for His
followers today ? IJow often
did He say to His disciples ,
"Come ye apart into a desert
place and rest awhile ? " How
frequently did our Master retire
to a solitary place to rest and
pray , to gird Himself for His
conflict with sin ? Therefore ,
at this season our holy mother ,
the church , asks us as good soldiers -
diers of the cross to follow our
Leader's example and come
apart from the world for a sea.
son that we may be drilled in
all spiritual graces and be bet
ter fitted to continue our war
fare against the world , the llesh
and the devil.
Lent presses these questions
upon us : Is" your religion a
name only , or is it a reality ?
Is is your chief desire to con
quer self and to do God's will ?
Lent's real aim is to help us
to repent and conquer our sins.
If it is hailed merely as a sea.
son ot rest from social duties ,
then will itiudeed , be a mock-
cry. During the holy season we
should strive to attend more
carefully and systematically to
our religious duties. As our
national guards once a year go
into camp for the purpose of a
more exact study of military
tactics , so during the forty days
of Lent the church calls upon
her children to go into a more
exact study of the Bible , to ex
amine themselves as to their
manner of life , to keep from all
11e
places where they are apt to be >
tempted , to exercise self denial I ,
abstain from worldly pleasures
and places of amusement. To
seek iirst the kingdom of God ,
seek Christ in the sacraments
Ls.o
and life of His church , seek to
inlluenceyour neighbor for good.
"Quit you like men , be strong.1
Such a Lent will make your
Easter a veritable Mount of
Transfiguration , from which you
may go down refreshed and l
strengthened , fitted to fight the
good fight of faith.

It's In The Air ,
During these days of great
temperance awakening the above
expression is not infrequently
heard wherever men chance to be
discussing the one really live
question of the hour.
This seems to be the only expla
nation many can give for the
present popularity of the temper
ance movement just a vague
idea that this awakening has
come without a seeming cause ,
except perchance it may be like
the germs of a great epidemic
wafted on the breezes hither and
thither till it has exhausted itself
by its own exertions.
To such let us say that this
wave of temperance sentiment
has not come by chance. Were
it so it's life would be short in
deed. It is
the outgrowth of a
long continued battle against the
greatest evil of our age , a strug
gle < to save the boy , to stay this
giant ; monster which would dc-
stroy the sanctity of every Ameri
can home. It has come in"ans -
cawe
wer to innumerable prayers of
devoted men and women. It has
been brought about by organized
social , religious and legislative
efforts , and has come to stay.
The Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union has been no small
factor in this great movement.
The general public knows but
little of the magnitude of the
work this organization is doing.
The national W. C. T. U. is the
largest society ever composed
exclusively < of women and con
ducted entirely by them. It has
been organized in every state and
territory of this nation and loc
ally . in some 10)000 towns and
cities over all the civilized world.
Great Kritian , Canada , Aus
tralia , Hawaiian Islands , New
Xeland , India , Japan , Madagas
car and South Africa , have been
organized and there are local
unions in almost every nation.
This society is the direct result
of the great temperance crusade
of 1873-4.
At that time there was a high
wave . of temperance sentiment ,
but our lawmakers were not yet
aroused to the needs of the hour ,
and the cause lost ground because
of lack of legislative support.
Undaunted by failure , brave
women organized and prayed and
worked and plead until today ,
according j ! ' to the Chicago Tribune
( by no means a temperance paper )
33 million people in America live
.
in prohibition territory. The
same paper of Nov. 3rd. last said :
"Predictions are freely made
that if the prohibition of the
liquor traffic docs not become a
notional issue within a few short
te
years , it will be because the issue
itself will have been eliminated
by state legislation rendering the
manufacturing and sale of liquor )
impossible. "
The temperance movement is
sweeping the country in an irre-
sistible wave and soo"it is assert
ed uo whisky will be sold in the
United States , except in the
larger cities , into which thecrim-
innl clement of the country will
flock. The trend is toward cn-
,
forced abstainence , and the
makers of liquor are plainly
alarmed.
Recent returns only strengthen
the force of the above statements.
Georgia , Mississippi and Okla
homa are late'additions to the
rapidly increasing forces against
king alcohol.
Nearly all of Kentucky soil
is now "dry" territory. Even
old Missouri has "shown us" in
71 counties out of 114 and others
\v ill soon follow suit. The anti-
liquor law of Kansas has recently
been upheld by the supreme court
of the U. S. Illinois is entering
upon n vigorous campaign. Other
states are getting in line.
Even dear old Nebraska has
taken up a new song "Nebraska's
going Dry" . Yes , "its in the
air , " mighty catching tooMr. .
