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.

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.
