Senator Cain is the only re publican member ot the senate banking committee. We venture the assertion that the young man from Richardson will prove the most useful member of the com mittee. It is hoped that the “Prince of Peace” will shortly be de livered to the Eagle’s lodge in Lincoln. The lecture should be given in the evening as the sal oons close there at seven o’clock and all the “boys’’could attend. While not agreeing with many of the measures advocated by Gov. Shallenbarger in his mes sage, we must, nevertheless, compliment him on its sanity and good sense in the main and for the spirit of earnestness that runs through the entire paper. Those who were in favor of county option appealed to Mr. Bryan to throw his influence into the balance in order to secure such a measure from the legis lature. Mr. Bryan, however, was so busy joining the Eagles’ lodge that he was unable t<> comply with the request. If you like The Tribune as a newspaper you will confer a great favor by telling your friends about it. We are ambi tious to build this paper into the best weekly in the state. We will spare neither labor nor ex pense to accomplish this ambi tion. You can help us it you will. _ Our much beloved contempo rary suggests that the republi cans are trying even at this early day to prevent Mr. Bryan from being a candidate for Pres ident in 1912. Wrong, brother, quite wrong. The republican party is unanimously in favor of Mr. Bryan being the demo cratic candidate in 1912 and every four years thereafter. Goy. Sheldon r e c o m in ends that all young ladies and gentle men contemplating marriage shall submit to a medical exam ination to ascertain whether or not the)' are capable of bearing children before a license to mar ry shall issue. But suppose the young people fail in married life to live up to the examina tion, shall a divorce be the pen. alty? The Governor must have suffered a “brain storin'’ about the time his message was writ ten. THE LEGISLATURE Not m the spirit of partisan ship, but as a citizen of the State oi Nebraska we deplore the makeup oi tne present legis lature. We predict that if the crowd now in control under the leadership of Senator Frank Ransom of Omaha is not defeat ed in their intentions the pres ent legislature will destroy the state democracy for years to come. The legislature was or ganized in the sole interest of the corporations and against the people. Not a single mem ber who was imbued with the spirit of reform has been given an important assignment. We believe that there are many dem ocratic members who are honest enough and courageous enough to oppose any attempt to legis late in the interest of those ele ments that have been the bane of honesty in politics. We are impressed with the idea that Gov. Shellenbarger desires the largest measure of public good. But the legislature, elected as it was in the name of reform, is about the worst that has as sembled in Nebraska for the last quarter of a century. We don't much like to hear a man swear, but there are occa-, sions when at least a mild swear word will tit better than any other thing. Such an occasion arose in the organization of the; legislature a week or so ago 1 At noon on the day of the cau cus it was definitely determined j that Ralph Clark was to be; made Speaker of the House. So! the powers that be, called Clark into an upstairs room and told him what he was to do for the brewers, the Hell telephone,' the express companies, thestock yards, the railroads and other prominent reform i n t e r e s ts. Clark demurred at the sugges tion of being a mere figurehead and protested that such a pro gram would violateevery pledge of the platform. Hut the “in terests” with their usual arro gance told Mr. Clark very plain ly that he was to carry out in structions. Then it was that Ralph began to get a little hot under the collar and said with emphasis, “I will not do it.’’ “ I hen you can t be speaker, was the ultimatum. “You go to hell with your speakership,” was Clark’s reply. “You can’t deprive me ol my seat in the legislature, and you can’t buy my vote or influence with your offices,” and out the door he went to announce to his friends that he was beaten and some other man was to be elected. A few minutes later an emis sary came to Clark in the hotel office and said to him, “We have a little secret caucus up stairs and we want you to come back and talk this thing over.” Clark replied so that several standing near heard him, “I told your gang where to go and I haven’t changed my vote.” So it was that Clark was defeated and Pool was elected and the forces of reform were trium phant. _ As we remember it we merely made the general statement that to certain mental makeups vul garity was taken for humor. We mentioned no names, did not speak of a newspaper, but were merely talking in the ab stract. And they got mad. Cinderella is not-the only one who has found foot wear made to order. It’s really tunny when you an alyze it._ We think that the President went a little too far in offering a graluitous insult to congress by suggesting in his message that congress voted down the sycret service appropriation for fear of being investigated. Con gress has many members who are both able and honest, and a charge of dishonesty from as high a source as the chief execu tive is a serious thing in form ing public sentiment, especially when the President had no rea son or grounds for the charge.

TANNER I Are You Doing Yourself Justice? MR FARMER: —Are you looking ahead for your son, or if you are a renter are you looking ahead for yourself? Are you going tc accept this chance for a homestead that Uncle Sam has made possible for you? Are you dozing over this, while your more alert neighbor is acting? Dou’t you realize that the irrigated homesteads now being offered by the government in the Big Horn Basin and North Platte Valley will prove to be the richest land prizes that the government has yet bestowed on its c tizens. You certainly ought to know of the present land hunger in this country. Now you have the govern ment furnishing you HU and 160 acre tracts of land irrigated by the intelligence and financial security of Uncle Sam who has suddenly be come the greatest irrigator the world has ever known, who offers you abundant and perpetual water with the choicest laud at $35 to $-15 per acre m ten annual payments without interest; land that will yield more in one year per acre than the price of the farm. Do you realize what a ‘‘good thing” this is in this day and age ' If you do not, let me tell you something about it.
