FACTS THAT WORRY WILSON “I tell you,” said the Gover nor of New Jersey, as reported 1 y Mr. William Bayard Halo in The World’s Work, ‘‘the people of this state and this country are determined to take over the con trol of their own politics. We are going to cut down the jun gle in which corruption lurks. We are going to drag things into the light, break down private under standings and force them to be public understandings. We mean to have the kind of government we thought we had. “If this doesn’t, work, why then we shall have to try the initiative and r eferendum. Be lieve in it? Certainly I do. I haven’t the slightest fear of its disturbing our theory of represen tative government. T don't wor ry about theories anyhow; it is facts that worry me. The fact is, we in New Jersey have at present little more than the theo ry, while in states where they have tried it, the initiative and referendum has given them hack the fact of representative govern ment. It works, you know, with out being called on to work at all. Where legislative representa tives know" that if they fail real ly to represent, the people have the powrer to take legislation back into their own hands, those representatives have an effective motive to represent. The initia tive and referendum is like a gun behind the door—for use only in case of emergency, but a mighty good persuader, neverthe less.” PREDICTS GOOD FRUIT CROP Secretary Marshall of Horticult ural Board Receives Reports. Secretary Marshall of the State board of horticulture has receiv ed twenty replies to queries in regard to the fruit crop and in nearly every case the report is. fair to good from eastern Ne braska. The damage was light except in western and central Nebraska where the temperature on the night of May 1 was from 18 to 25 degrees above zero. The thirty acre apple orchard, two miles from Weeping Water, which Mr. Marshall and Mr. Keyser have leased, is practically unin jured. Oil burners were lighted one night but there is no dam age even outside of - the area where the burners were used. The orchard has been sprayed on — and w’ork in the second spraying will commence today. Tn most localities the use of the heaters was not considered a fair test, because the weather was not cold enough to prove the efficien cy of heaters. Reports show that the temperature was raised from 3 to 10 degrees by the use of heaters. Grow'ers in Richardson, Pawnee, Nemaha, Johnson, Otoe, Wash ington, Burt, Saunders and Lan caster counties report a mini mum temperature of 27 to 30 de grees with some injury to cher ries and a slight injury to some varieties of apples. A SPORTY PASTOR. In tho earyl days of Topeka the First Baptist church called to its pastorate au athletic gentle man of French-Canadian exl-ac tion, whose name sounded like Bajoic. This preacher delighted in all sorts of manly sports, such as baseball boxing, rowing and fencing. Ilis study was fitted up with a full equipment of the par aphernalia necessary for boxing bouts, fencing bouts, etc. One day one of tbe church eda cons called on the pastor and found him taking his daily ex treme with a punching bag. The deacon appeared more or less shocked, but the minister began an enthusiastic defense of this manly sport. “Now,” he said, “Brother Dea eon. this is a most healthful and manly exercise. Simply because it lias been abused in certain eases is no reason why its good effects should be lost to good church people. It not only de ' velops the muscles and helps the circulation of the blood, but it trains the mind and eye. It teaches you to think quickly. Just put on the gloves with me, brother, for a friendly bout. 1 will show you some of the sci ence of it.” Tlie deacon reluctantly con sented at last to put the gloves on and placed himself in the at ; titude of offense and defense as shown him by the pastor. “Now, brother,” said the pas tor, “watch my eye. The eye tells where the hand is going to strike. Bay no attention to the hand. But watch my eye, and watch it closely.” The deacon said: “Well, pas tor, you will not strike hard?” “Oh, no,” said the pastor, “I will be very careful about that. Now, when you see me make a pass at your head, sidestep— duck—also use your right and left guard. All ready! ” Then the pastor commenced to move his hands with lightning rapidity. The deacon evidently became confused and forgot the instructions about watching the eye, and the muscular paftor. warming up to the excitement of the sport, forgot the promise he had made about being easy. He let out with a straight righthan der which caught the deacon in the eye. The deacon's head hit the floor on the other side of the room. It was some little time be fore he recovered consciousness and waked up to find the pas tor pouring water in his face. The pastor was profuse in his apologies, but the deacon did not appear to he at all satisfied. He put on his hat in a dazed man ner and left the study. In about five minutes his eye was closed <ntirely and a discoloration was appearing all around it. For two or three days he was very much annoyed with embarrassing ques tions and at the next meeting of the church board he arose in his place and said: “Brethren, I do not know what you think about it, but so far as I am concerned I prefer to have a man for pastor who has more grace and less muscle.” The other deacons took the matter under advisement, but did not vote to dismiss the pastor at that time. Later on, however, the pastor’s love for fast horses got him into trouble. There was a race meet in Topeka and the pastor, who had purchased a fast trotter, entered his nag. The church deacons were considerab ly horrified to learn that the pastor, in the garb of a driver, was speeding his horse around the track in competition with the other trotters. They decided that he was a little too sporty for them, and at the next meeting of the church board his relations as I astor of the flock were dissolv ed. —K. C. Journal. “My wife reads the marriage notices carefully every day. Wouldn’t miss a day for worlds.” “Why not?'” “Oh, about once every six years somebody gets married that she knows.” Captain IT. J. Ilollinshed, of the navy, recently told this story about a comet: “We had a good view of the comet off Tarifa in the Mediter ranean. The saiolrs did not like it. They sent a committee to me to get my opinion on it. ‘Cap tain,’ said the spokesman, ‘we want to ask your opinion.’ ‘Yes. iny lad,’ said T. ‘Wliat about?’ About that thing up there,’ he replied, pointing at the comet aflame in the western sky. ‘Very well,’ said I. ‘But first tell me what you think it is yourself.’ ‘Well, sir,’ said the spokeman, ‘we’ve talked it over very care fully, and we’ve about come to the conclusion that it’s a star sprung a leak! ’ ” Not rapping congress, or speaking from a tariff stand point, what you get on the free list doesn’t often amount to much. ATTEMPTED RAPE ON LITTLI GIRL. Robert Sutton Charged With Heinous Crime. From Suturdty’s Daily. Feeling against Robert Sutton, a painter in the employ of Bob Drake, was roused to the high est pitch last evening, when it was noised around that he had attempted to commit a rape up on the person of the little 9-vear old daughter of Los Leeds. Ac cording to the account of the affair given the Tribune reporter, it occurred as follows: Sutton was employed as a painter on the Leeds house, and yesterday afternoon, when the little girl returned home from school, lie took her to the barn, and committed, or attempted to commit the crime. Her sister returned about ten minutes la ter, and ran screaming to the home of a neighbor, who return ed with her to the Leeds house and demanded to know what Sut ton had done to the little girl. Sutton made no reply, hud shed his painting clothes in a hurry and hiked for the country. Sheriff Fenton and the city po lice force mustered all the autocs they could, and started in pur suit. Sutton was caught about six miles south of town, at the Paul Shulenbcrg place, and was brought to town and lodged in jail. In the evening a crowd of about five hundred people gath ered about the court house, and talk of serving Sutton as Lillis was served could be freely heard on every hand. Accordingly, ■sheriff Fenton and chief of po lice Aldrich removed the prisoner from the jail, placed him in an auto and took him to Humboldt, catching a train from there to Lincoln, where the prisoner was placed for safe keeping. This is the second affair of the kind within a few months, and public sentiment is strong ly aroused. While it is freely admitted on all sides that the law will probably take the proper course and punish the guilty, it is doubtful if it will be allowed to do so in case tbc people get their hands onto the culprit. Such a crime is the most awful in the annals of our country, and who will not eveincc some feel ing when they think it might be their daughter next, are very poor specimens. It is to be hoped that Sutton will have a just and speedy trial, and that if found guilty, lie will be given the limit, which is life imprisonment. EXPECT MUCH OF BUSH.

The bald-faced horse probably acquired a reputation for a mean disposition because it looks it. Not, of course, that clothes make the man. Possibly it’s just as well for the man with a sense of humor that he doesn’t live to read the inscription on his tombstone. Otherwise he might laugh himself to death. Artists are all right.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON SPECIAL TO THE DAILY TRIBUNE Current News And Events of Im portance In Which Ne braska Figures During the tariff debate, Mr. Sloan of Nebraska made a speech which fairly sparkled with bright sayings. Mr. Solan at one palee in Usi speech turned to the Democrats and said: "You are the party in power. If we had not read it in the papers, we would have heard it hero. 1 lis tened to all the debates of this session, and twenty-three gentle men solemnly referred in orot und voice to Democracy's being "instructed with power.” Whe ther you were intrusted with power or whether it was simply taken away from the Republi cans, and being left around loose and you happening to be there, gobbled it, I do not know. You hove frequently referred to your large majority and our depicted ranks. 1 presume the extraor dinary modesty as to what you propose to do to us and to the country is owing to your care ful consideration of the way that the people of whom wo have hoard so much in your speeches, saw fit to vote.” Referring to the Canadian erciprocity matter Mr. Sloan remarked: "Your hill for which you ask support is charged on tlisi s ide, and prac tically admitted on the other, to lie the means of rederss for the wrong or damages of the Cana dian pact. A sort of ‘hush money’ for the injury committed. What arc its claims? It will deprive the Treasury of $10,000, 000 of revenue. That is scarcely ■i virtue. The real claim of every speaker on that side seems to he that it will save money for the farmers; hence it is called ‘the farmers’ free-list hill’. If it stands that test, in the interest of my district I shall vote for it.” At another stage of his argument the Congressman ad vised the Democratic majority that, if they wanted to do a ‘‘little proselyting” they should strike out the meat and cereal schedules, reminding the advo cates of the bill that these pro ducts include "nearly 90 per cent of the northwestern farmers’ annually produced wealth; make it in deed what you have named it and you will obtain some as sistance from this side.” He continued, ‘‘as it stands now the farmers’ free list is a misnomer. ‘What’s in a name?’ To para phrase Iho inspired William, ‘Dog fennel by any other name would smell just as loud.’ ” Mr Sloan asserted that, ‘‘you can remedy this, and strictly within 1 lie rules of the game. I appeal to OYasar for the benefits of the imperial proceedurc announced at the Baltimore winter meeting. That was an event not wnouy iorgoi ten nor, perhaps, forgiven. T note that they cut down the Democratic majority in Balti more the other day several thousand on account of it.” The Congressman asked: ‘‘Who are we legislatures for? Is it for America’s industries or is it for the foreigner and his invest ments?” Analyzing his own query he proceeded: ‘‘To make this matter a littel more concrete, the American farmer and cattle raiser has forced from a reluct ant soil and adverse conditions a development and prosperity that is satisfying to him and in which the country should take a national pride, lie is a larger buyer of the articles which pay tribute at our customhouse and liberally supports this Govern ment.” Business has assumed a eon dition over the country when h can be dull in small towns with out the alrge cities poking fin at them. | If You Are C URA BLE We Can Cure YOU m Fill and mail this blank for free advice.
