THURSDAY , APRIL 22 , 1909. Court Doings. District court is in session this week and our town has been full of people all week. A number of non-resident attorneys are in town and the numerous cases called many litigants together. Judge Westover is on the bench.and J. D. Scott is his court reporter. The wheels of justice grind switf ly enough for those who fear the clutches of the law. The convic tions are less numerous than in former times and the civil and di vorce cases take the prominence. Among the numerous divorce cases there was one in which Val entine people were more than usually exercised. A story that goes into the life of a public of ficial and tells of his acts in pri- vite life with his family. His conduct in the years that our people ple have known him has not been admirable and aside from the pub lic position that he now holds people ple would not endure his presence at their hearthstones , nor mingle with him from choice of associates , Valentine people have generously overlooked many things that to them appeared not the best , and in fact our people are generously inclined , but if they endure such as this without some show 9f re sentment we might believe that calloused subservience to brutal tyrants was a yoke they cared not to unloose. A divorce is a relief from galling chains that bind the faithful to a false idol. It also sets the villain free. To roam again in pastures green ; Another maid by that decree May 3'et be his as will b/e seen. Some say that he again will wed. And for this reason thinks his mate , Is not his equal , and his head Has swelled a little up to date. When he came here sometime ago , Fewpther _ men were then more true : , But time has changed affections so , That now the air is black and blue. The great pretentious and display. Stand foremost now as a rebuke : The pomp of building then betray. No house was good enough for Luke. j Then what has come upon the scene. To so demoralize his view- : "Has he another in his scheme. To bid his family thus adieu ? If such be true then she may fall A victim like unto the first. And when her cup is lilled with gall. With vinegar he'll quench her thirst. OUR LINCOLN LETTER. ( Special Correspondence. ) Lincoln , Neb. , April 20 , De spite the constant criticism of an ! adverse partisan press at the state capitol during the entire legisla tive session the people are inform ing themselves concerning meas ures enacted into laws by a demo cratic legislature and signed by a democratic governor , and history will record that the 1009 session passpd more good , wholesome laws , measures that will distribute more equitably the burden of taxa tion , and at the same time correct a greater number of prevalent ev ils than has any former legislative body in the history of the state. it should be borne in mind that every platform pledge of the demo cratic party was fiulfilled , and the legislature went further and in ad dition passed an unusually large number of meritorious bills. It may be truthfully said also that no legislature in the history of the state ever passed so few so-calied ! "freak measure ? , " and no vicious i or unjust laws were enacted. There has been a kieat deal of ! x * tmtmsm&P& ; & fault finding from a republican source concerning the labors ol the session. It is a common thing l.o hear the comment that the bank guarantee bill really amounts to nothing at all , and falls far from the mark of fulfilling the platform pledge of the party , but if you have followed the metropolitan press you will have observed that a gathering of the "big bankers" was held at Omaha last week to devise ways and raise funds to de feat the purpose and object of the law , notwithstanding the fact that at least nine-tenths of the people of the state of Nebraska today , with the political situation remov ed , are strongly in favor of the guaranty law. The highest com pliment that could possibly be paid to the measure is to have ihese "big bankers , " the men who want to use the people's money for nothing , and if any losses oc cur make the people stand it , liter ally tear up the earth in their ef forts to defeat the bill. In order that the state railway commission , the courts and the public revenue powers of the state may have something upon which to base the earning capacity , a basis for dividend earnings as well as for the purpose of taxation , of the public service corporations of the state , a physical valuation bill was passed , carrying with it an appropriation of , § 10,000. The governor has supervision of the work and has already been in con sultation with the railway com mission , outlining a campaign with a view of first valuing the rail roads of the state. This bill is one that will bring great relief to the people in the way of equitable rates , and afc the same compel the railroads to pay their just proportion tion of the taxes. "As a companion measure to the physical valuation bill the govern or by special message had a law passed requiring all corporations hereafter organized in the state and having for its purpose the placing of stock upon the market , to first receive the consent of the state railway commission by show ing that the property and assets of the corporation is adequate and sufficient upon which to base the stock issue. This pill will in the future prevent a great deal of stock-jobbing and swindling trans itions in the floating of watered The democratic party in Ne braska has placed itself above the control of the so-called liquor in terests of the state by enacting more legislation , having for its ob ject the control of the sale of liq uor , than all previous legislation i i Nebraska for a quarter of a cen tury. A bill was passed prohibit ing the sale of liquor to a person who has been treated under the provisions of the dipsomaniac law ; another making it a misdemeanor to drink liquor on trains. Gov. Shallenberger vetoed a bill which will prevent the sale of liquor at Ft. Crook and in this he was sus tained by the legislature without a dissenting vote. With the clos ing hours of the session came the "daylight" saloon law , making a record on liquor legislation that has won the encomiums and ad miration of the great masses of the people.

Nebraska's metropolis. In all 202 bills were passed by the legislature and signed by the governor , 78 of which originated in the senate and 124 in the house. K To the credit of the legislature so recently adjourned it may be said that it appropriated over § 700,000 for normal schools , in ex cess of any sum heretofore ap propriated , and the same spirit for adequate provision for the educa tional interests of our splendid state was shown in all the appro priations for carrying on and im proving the schools of Nebraska. A delegation of the old soldiers from the Soldiers and Sailors Home at Milford called upon the governor Friday and entered a vigorous protest against the ac tion of some of the republican state officials who are attempting to deprive them of the money ap propriated by the recent legisla ture to reimburse them for the funds so unjustly taken from them under the guise of "Rule 17 , " adopted under the republican ad ministration of the past two years.
