Men seeking political honors can

The joys of aerial navigation

There will be no Main street or

No, it will never become popular.
Two cents a year for weather
forecasts is the price paid per

service rendered by the weather
bureau. Cheap enough, at that.
If it were not for the occasional

local weather seer would vanish
into thin air, and he would
develope into a common‘grouch.’
The truth of that wise old say

borne out in the ease of Mrs.

it difficult to be ladylike. The

WHO FOR CONGRESS?
We have received a copy of
McGuire s speech on tile tariff
and have enjoyed it to the limit.
For fear you should not know
who Me is we volunteer the in
format ion that he is the congress
man from this district.
This speech was followed by
"prolonged applause,” according
to the printed pamphlet. This is
really good when you consider
that the speech was never deliver
ed, and was never heard by any
one unless McGuire delivered it
before his mirror. It got into the
congressional record by leave
to print," and the "prolonged ap
plause” is a bit of imagination
for home consumption. By the
way, when is the biggest and best
district going to send a represen
tative man down to Washington!
We have had several fellows
down there recently who have run
errands w ell and who are prompt
in answering letters. In fact
if a congressman was looking for
a good private secretary to run
errands and answer letters we
could recommend some of our ex
congressmen from this district,
I really don’t know whether Me
would make a good secretary or
not.
But what about a real man!
We are entitled to a man of
iniative, of courage, of integrity,
of ability.

the wave .just now. Hut what

Wlmt's the matter with elect
ing a man like Charles <).
Wheeden of Lincoln, who is so
far ahead of the men we have
had, and the men proposed that
it requires the whole dictionary
to express the difference.
Some of the Lincoln politicians
might not like Wheeden's inde
pendent action and independent
thought, but it is a sure thing
that the First District would be
on the map if Wheeden were in
Washington. And it is equalh
certain that we would have a rep
resentative who woidd pay no
tribute to expediency nor exact
anything of the right.
BURKETT ON TARIFF.
.V dispatch from Washington
by tlu* Associated Press speaks as
follows of the attack made by
Senator Aldrich and the methods
of the Finance committee:
“indulging in a vigorous de
nunciation of the committee on
finance because of its change of
front over night on the subject
of tobacco importations from the
Philippines. Senator Burkett
standing far. to face with Chair
man Aldrich today declared that
its atti looked to him liki
game of petty politics. lie
characterized this action as an
effort to hang Senator LaFollette
in the air, and finally declared
that this event afforded senators
a good opportunity to vote a lack
of confidence in the committee.”
Senator Burkett s remarks came
during the .discussion over ad
mitting tobacco free from the
Philippines. After refusing to
adopt an amendment offered by
Senator LaFollette the finance
committee accepted an amendmen
made by Senator Bulkely calling
for a reduction more sweeping
than the one asked for by Sena
tor LaFollette. It was this act
ion which aroused Senator Bur
kett's ire. The incident served
to show even more plainly tlie bit
ter fight that men like Senator
Burkett are making For true re
vision in opposition to the Aid
rich followers.
AN ORDINARY CRIMINAL.
J. K. Marcell, who five years
ago swindled various western
hanks out of while act
ing as eashier for a Highland.
Kas., bank, and who was sent
enced to serve thirty-five years
in tlie penitentiary, hut was par
doned about fifteen mouths ago.
is again a fugitive from justice,
lie i- wanted at Kansas City,
tin charge against him being for
gery.
The ease of Marc-U was just
an ordinary case, after ;,]J. Jle
played no favorites. Those who
were near and dear to him were
also his victims - he swindled
friend* and relatives alike, and
the evidence at th** time of his
trial was plain and conclusive, lie
served hut a short period of the
time he was sentenced for and
was pardoned. I'pon his return
home to Highland he was greeted
by a band of music and a throng
of friends though many citizens
of Highland, he it said to their
credit, remonstrated against his
pardon.
•lust an ordinary ease, and
should have been treated as an
ordinary ease. Bank cashiers do
not "go wrong'’ on the impulse
of the moment they do not
snatch a roll of hills and run.
They have time for reflection,
time for facing about. They are
neci ssarily men of intelligence,
who are foremost in the affairs
of their home town, and are by
their very vocation fitted to real
ize the seriousness of the crime
to which they drift not jump
into.
-•\s .HHn-cu s uaugmer says,
why didn’t they leave him in
the penitentiary where lie was.
and then he couldn't have
brought disgrace upon us again.' ’
Why. indeed ! There are other
men there, of inferior intelligence
who committed lesser crimes.serv
ing their full term. Why par
don Marcell? Was it because he
was a bank cashier and a former
Sunday school worker? As a
bank cashier he was in a position
of trust, and he betrayed it —
that's no reason. As a Sunday
school worker he knew whither
he was dritfing, and lie had
plenty of time to think about it.
Was it through his social promi
nence? Poorest reason in the
world, that. Whatever influ
ences were brought to hear upon
the governor, and it is safe to say
there was influence other than
♦Imt of family, it was influence
illy spent, and has cause to hide
its head in shame, along with the
governor who used his pardoning
power so recklessly.
Less than two years ago there
were in the federal prison at Lan
sing, Kas.. twenty-two ex-bank
officials twenty-two. A start
ling fact, that created some com
ment at that time, but a fact that
lias been treated very gently by
pulpit and secular press. Twenty
two editors, twenty-two real es
tatc men, twenty-two linkers in
the penitentiary at the same time
would have caused some preach
ers and reformers to froth at the
mouth, hut bankers tread softly.
Mareell was just an ordinary
criminal and should have been
treated as such. Society in gen
eral. and particularly that class
whom the fear of the law helps
to keep straight, would have been
gainer if Mareell were still be
hind the bars.
A SUGGESTION.
The primary law makes a
county convention unnecessary
but does not prohibit holding one.
The average church requires a
revival meeting occasionally and
a political party fee’s the same
need.
Why not call the county central
committee together and provide
for a county convention, at which
ways and means, candidates and
the good of the order can be dis
cussed.
The court house if full of demo
crats, and none of them are go
ing to “jar loose" without trying
for a third term.
We can fill the court house
with republicans with the proper
work, and a real, old-fashioned,
j enthusiastic countv convention
. will add a little bit and every
little bit he'lps.
Our own Senator Brown went
after Senator Aldrich last Thurs
day in a pretty lively fashion,
the duty upon print paper and
wood pulp being under discus
sion. According to Senator
Brown, print paper has advanced
from $3b in 1907 to $42 and $50
per ton in 1908, and The Tribune
is one of many newspapers right
here in Nebraska who can testify
to the correctness of that state
j ment.
