Lorimer is getting the probing of his life and is likely lo he probed loose from his seat in the senate. Tho skies are cloudy for the Illinois senator. We art* glad to see other newspa pers in town advocating the pay-as f> yon-go i liey. If the newspapers ot 1'al's City would pull together as they urge other contents to do, they would double tin ir nfiienco and good. Poor old Atchison site is dying iiartl. Could not. concede the division was really located here until the last clerk from tho offices had left with bag and baggage. Now limy are trying to Impress people with the idea that the men would like to re turn to the Deserted Village. The legislature is 6verwlielmingly democratic. But in their scrapping they may yet do the county option cause real good. There are wet deni ocrats who will not be bulldozed By the Omaha crowd. for though the people of Nebraska sent Jim Dahlinun back to Omaha, It is plain that he has no Intention of staying there. Champ Clarks’ coat has been turn ed early In the game and not alto gother to bis liking, he is being hold up lo the public in his true colors, lie now admits Ids field ngnlnst and condemnation of wliat he termed tyranny and Cannonistn was for party policy, lie now faces the same rules with utmost qulosonee. A capital straddler, is Champ. Logically, Falla City is the best bus iness point in south eastern Nebraska. At the junction of two of the best railroad lines in the west, surrounded by one of the richest agricultural dis tricts in four states, with fine schools and churches, it offers consistent in vitations for business to come and locate here and enjoy its advantages, with the crowd that is timing to do Falls City will surprise tier most optimistic citizens before the year 1911 has come to an end. There are many indications that point to the opening up of business this spring in a way and to an extent not hereto fore expected. Many strangers are in town this week. They are in vestigating the possibilities of Falls City and if favorably impressed will iocate here. They seem to sec a big future before Falls City. . Senator Burkett’s bill providing for locomotive boiler inspection passed the senate Monday. In as much as Mann has consented to withdraw bis bill of the same nature now ponding in the house, it is safe to say the bill will go through easily. It has had many ups and downs since its first presentation two years ago but it is in substance the same, the am endments being trifling. It has been fought desperately by railroad men. it is one of the most advanced pieces of corrective legislation, enacted in fifty years. President Taft is about to give the insurgents another job. The contest for judge in the eighth circuit lias narrowed down to Norris of Nebras ka and Smith of Iowa. Now Norris as we all know is an insurgent thru and thru, while Smith stayed by Can non thru thick and thin. The presi dent has not committed himself but has intimated that should Smith re eeivo the endorsement of the entire Iowa delegation lie will get the job. Personally Norris is making no fight, his cause is being pushed by friends, and these chiefly out of the stub* of Nebraska. And now comes along the wonder ful Peary and under the strength of a cross file of questioning before the house committee on naval affairs ad mits lie never n ached the North Pole. In his selfishness he would not permit one man, who though lie had been his faithful friend and as sistant, his helper and sharer of privations and hardships, to make tile final dash with him when lie thol IiIh goal was in sight. He wanted the whole and sole honor and look with him a lone negro. lie admits that for all the support and assistance he has had .from the government he has left absolutely nothing that would be of any assistance to future expidi tions. Surely Joseph (3 Robin can head tlm list us Prince of Scoundrels. A ; man who, sixteen years ago, was brought to this country in the steer age by parents of Russian peasant decent, poor but honest, has not only defrauded and ruined friends without number, lie 1ms caused laboring men and women to lose the dlast cent oi savings of years. He has lived a de praved life, covering his crookedness with the glitter of gold, lint worst of all he has publicly denied Ills aged parents, who witli love in their hearts for an unworthy son who had neglected them, sought him out that they might comfort and sustain him only to be denied, scoffed at 111 their poverty, laughed at publicly, insulted, Jeered and maligned by - merely a rogue, he Is not deserving to be called their son. What punish ment can be meted out tlmt is not too good for such a man. The governor of South Dnkota in Ills Inaugural message last Tuesday said of the licensed saloons; "Many wise men of both this past and present have contended that the saloon can not be abolished and it should therefore he licensed, made ns in speetable as possible and thus minimize the evils attending upon it. I am not only persuaded that such a policy is unwise, but I am absolutely convinced that the respectable saloon is very much more dangerous to the average young man than the squalid boo *. - „c int. "1 believe that the liquor traffic is in i -. tv the highest tax that is being paid by the common people of today and that it, is the heaviest drain upon their resources, if this is a fact it is our duty to legislate in the interests of those people and not in the interests of the men who are in the business for a profit or a mon ey consideration." Hu Freemout Tribune through its l.incolu correspmtdent pays quite a complin nt to Richardson county men in the legislature, particularly Oerdes and Morehead. However, a part, of its statement with reference to Hon. .1. II. Morehead, president pro tent of the senate, is wrong. Mr. More head is not a county optionist. but as a member of the legislature he will work and vote for what be believes tlu> people want. Mr. Morehead's popularity and position in the sen ate' gives him much power and Influence and we look to see him use it for the honor and to the lasting credit of Richardson county, it is not our belief that this county's mem bers will be it'd or influenced by the Douglas county faction. Richardson county stands for tilings decent and for the will of the people, and wo be lieve that our members will work with the crowd that is trying to do the will of the majority. Pawnee City, Jan. 9, 1911. Falls City Tribune, Falls City, Neb. My Dear Sirs: 1 am glad you sent ue a statement about my subscrip cion for 1 am apt to neglect such natters, and I want to continue as me of your regular patrons, so I eti lose a ldraft for $1.50 to apply ot uy subscription. Wishing you a happy and prosper ouh new year, I am, Silicon ly yours, John B. Kaper. Judge Kaper takes the light view of the matter. That is good busi ness. Why should not tli o publisher notify his patrons when they forget, and their subscriptions become de linquent, ns well as the merchant or the grocer when the end of the month arrives. Besides the law very emphatically insists that subscribers must pay or lose the privilege of re eeivlng their paper by mail. HOME ECONOMICS ASS’N AT LIN COLN.

Inaugural Proceedings Tale Place at' ti'c Capitol. On Thursday inaugural services, in cluding messages train the retiring and incoming governors, occupied the time of the legislature In joint con vention, after which both houses ad journed until Tuesday, January 10. A large audience listened to the mes sage of (l >vernor Shallenberger, who retires after two years as executive' of the state, and to the inaugural ad dress of Govt rnor A] Irich, who took the oath of office and who expressed his ideas on legislation and govern ment of the state. House members occupied their seats during the pro ceedings, many of them with wives by their sides. In the foreground were the families of the two gover nors and their private secretaries.. Chief Justice Reese, who delivered) the oaths of oilice, sat on the left of* Speaker Kuhl, who in turn was at the left of Lieutenant Governot Hope well, presiding at the joint session. Interest in the remarks of the speak-! ers was intense, although there was but little demonstration. The usual formalities were carried1 out. The regular committees were ai>-, pointed, one to notify the governors! that the joint session was ready to receive them and to escort them to) the hall; another to notify the chief justice of the same l'aet and to see that he entered according to plan, a third committee to notify the state of ficers that they were due to appear and take the oath of office. The gov ernors appeared first, followed by the state oflleers, and lastly came the venerable chief justice. It was 2:30 when President Hope well Introduced the retiring governor, who was vigorously received. He wasted no time, but entered upon the task of reading a message covering thirty-three typewritten pages. The interest attached to what he had to say was in the fact that hills embody ing his recommendations are likely to appear before the session has far advanced. Part of his recommenda tions brought forth modest show of dissent in some quarters The two governors agreed on thfli recommendation that the open pri mary become a closed one, but dis agree upon the needed provisions of an initiative and referendum joint resolution. Governor Sballenberger read Ills message rapidly, but it took more than an hour and a quarter for him to conclude his address. Governor Aldrich had less to say and concluded his inaugural address in about twenty minutes, although he warned the legislature that he was likely to send them frequent messages. The governor devoted much of his mes sage to the initiative and referendum and to changes in the present open ■ rimary law. He urged on the legis lators the necessity of passing the initiative and referendum especially. He also emphasized the importance of providing for a non-partisan hoard' of control for the state institutions and for n better system of road mak ing in the state. Tite incoming gove nor devotes a good share of his me sage in urging the legislature to pass a county op tion law, advocates giving cities the tight to adopt their own charters, and asks me law-making body to pass a few beneficial laws and then save the people’s money by adjouruinng. The Vcte for Senator. There will be no republican caucus candidate for United States senator Jan. 17, and he votes on that day will be divide I between G. M. Hitch cock, Senator 13. J. turkett and what ever other persons members of the legislature wish to please with a com plimentary vote or two. The house will vote separately on United States sen ' >r Tuesday, Jan. 17, and will then meet in joint session for a canvass of their vote. This Inst act will he merely formal, as a major ity is assured the democratic candi date. Reapportionment. W 1! Mellor has prepared a reap poriianment plan which is being sup- • polled by S. C. Ilassett, of Gibbon. This is the first of the many bills for redistricting that will probably come up as soon as the time for introduc ing bills arrives. Asks Appropriation. The state normal board lias asked lor an appropriation of $1,500 to fit up a room in the basement of the state house under the state treasurer's of-; fiee. This amount will be sufficient to make the basement room nabitable and place I he stairway and corridor in the basement in good condition aruT buy office furniture. Hits Senate Employes. The slate senate will not pay em ployes this year for days not actually served. On motion of Ollis of Valley! employes were instructed to report every morning lor duty to the book keeper of the senate. This is the first move in the plan to cut down ex penses by paying for time actually served. If there is no work to be done and an employe reports for duty he will be paid for his time. Canvass of State Vote. The work of canvassing the state vote consumed half a day and result ed in formal declaration by the speak er that all state officers who showed majorities on the official abstract of the secretary of state were duly elect ed, except Peter Mortensen for rail way commissioner to fill an unexplred term, (fa his vote the speaker mere ly declared the vote which he receiv ed. The returns from the 92 coun ties of the state were checked with the printed abstract on secretary of state and no errors were found.
