They're hard up for something
to say when they mention .under
big head lines that Koosevelt is
about to become a grandpa.
A. woman of Valentine has about
two dozen hens that arc so indus
trious she has had an electric light
placed in the barn so they can see
to go to roost. She is now think
ing of putting in'a switch at the
house so she can turn on the light
at night and'enable the hens to
fly down off the roost and lay an
.egg for early breakfast.
P. S. The door knob got cold
and didn't hatch. -
Bernard Shaw , the noted , play
wright , gave his opinion of lloose-
velt in these-few words : * * 'Heis
supposed to be a great man5 but 1
can find no attribute of greatness
about him. If he is considered
great by the 80,000,000 people ov
er whom be ruled , then I suppose
he must be great. .Apart from
. this , I can fina nothing hehas
; ever said or done which makes
-for greatness. "
; ' HIS YELLOW STREAK.
* There are times when every
: - ' man. is determined to show his
, fellow streak.5 Some show it
one way and others will show it
sorao other way. Congressman
Norris has been lauded up and
down the public' forum as the
Prince of Insurgency , and yet last
| week he displayed his yellow
streak by standing alone among
all of Nebraska's congressmen and
voting with the rankest brand of
standpat trust and robberism in
, congress against the reciprocity
* measure , a plan to give his con
stituents cheaper lumber , cheaper
fueljand cheaper warm clothing.
WEeri we contemplate George
Washington Norris , we realize
how short a step it is from the
sublime to the ridiculous. Kearn
ey Democrat.
At last , after § years service .as
speaker of the house , Joe Cannon
laid down the gavel at noon the
4th and will pass into history as
the meanest man who ever sat in
the speaker's chair. He wasan
ideal presiding officer for the inter
ests which have been running the
government for the lat 15 years
or more , with a high hand and ut
ter disregard o'F the interests of ho
masses. Cannon will now fall t
the level from which he was lif'rd
by as corrupt a set of < mi > n > prp-
sentatives as has ever nr-ule ihe
laws for any republic ia the' his
tory of the world. Th > rp is'n >
parallel and nor , another man. Jik >

was a Czar , but he hud ahilitv'anrf
a big bunch of good hnnest , - - motives
tives in his makeup. The country
can now take a long breath and
wait 30 days to spe what Sppakpr
Clark will do. We hopp. he. may
not attempt to follow in the foot-
stepts of the retiring speaker.
Crete Democrat.
* \ .
Few people are aware of the
* . ' fact that some of the legislation
that gets upon the statute books
was put. there out of personal
spite. One hiw that may be found
there seeks to make newspaper
subscriptions uncollectabla-if the
s.A paper is sent after the time for
which it was ordered , no matter
/ . whether the patrons receives it or
t' not. Such a law would not likely
: - stand the tests of the courts , because -
; ' cause it violates a fundamental
* fprincipleof equity. It was fath-
v ered by a man who had had
, - , trouble with one of the editors in
' - his home town ove"r an overdue
subscription account. There is
another law that ives attorneys
interested in litigation the right to
designate the newspaper in which
" legal notices appertaining to that
suit , may be printed. This bill
'was pushed through by a member
who wanted to secure for his home
paper located outside the county
seat , some of the legal printing
' -'that 'had gonE theretofore to the
' --tiounty seat papers through the
: favor of the county officers. And
' " yet some folks object to giving the
people the right to enact laws.
.Lincoln News.
One of the men who voted for
the. law repudiating honest debts ,
owed § 15 supscription and had
ney'er been dunned for' it. That
legislation was the most contempt
ible ever passed by a legislative
body and the legislatures since
have not had gumption enough to
repeal that outlaw act. Crete
Democrat.
The .Lincoln Bryan club is
malting cxtesive arrangements for
the celebration of Mr. , Brian's
birthday" with , a dollar dinner at
the auditorium on March 20th.
Among the notables from out of
the state who will be present are
Hon. Champ Clark , speaker-to-be
of the national house of represen
tatives , Senator John W. Kern of
Indiana , Senator Robert L. Owen
of Oklahoma and Governor John
Shafroth of Colorado.
SALOONS OR NO SALOONS
We received a card from the
Nebraska State Journal in Tues
day night's mail which reads as
follows :
"Dear Sir -
: - -
"The contention is made by
those desiring to again license . .sa
loons in Lincoln that the people of
thestate want this sort of cheer
and entertainment when they come
to their capitol-city ; that the pres
ent dry policy , being .distasteful
to the people , ha kept many
away who would otherwise come
here upon business , and that it is
a duty we owe the people to pro
vide facilities for enjoying them
selves in this way when they come
among us.
"Would you do us the favor to
briefly state upon the enclosed
postal card attached what your
opinion or the opinion of your
community is thereon ?
"NEBRASKA STATE JOURNAL. "
I would say :
Those who drink would of course want to
lind
A drink in your town when they're dry ,
But if not affected that way they'd not mind
If you closed your saloons by and by.
On business important both classes will go ,
And remain undisturbed either way ,
While to one not content his spare time
would go slow ,
You might cheer him to lengthen his stay.
If you want men to come and enjoy when
they meet ,
You know hospitality is best ;
Throw the latch string outside when they
. come on your street ,
Give protection and comfort and rest.
If your town in .1 measure belongs to the
stale ,
And you want men to come and agree ;
The best to bo lia'd should be found on your
slate ,
For their use not abuse , and be free.
Saloons or no saloons in Lin
coln , the capitol city of the state ,
is the topic which Lincoln people
are trying to discuss and are now
willing to seek advice from out
side the city. They have gone it
.blind and thought they could lead
the state in a liquor fight but find
that the hub is only revolved by
the outside rim. , Lincoln , as the
capitol city , should cater to the
.people of the state , and whatever
other ambitions her people have
should be secondary or they should
be willing to yield the- capitol -on
demand ti , some town or place that
will , take itv s t.lie peoples'town ,

CiipHol firsrViiui hei cil J5''n' should
keep in jiannon.x with the state as
a whole if the.\ would have her
good will The dictatorial , polic.v
of Lincoln citiz ns to the state
may only be considered a factor
but. the state has taken it for more
arid resents it , hence a capitol re
moval bill might have met with no
favor previously , though there
was a growing need for a more
centrally located capitol.
Let Lincoln become a university
school and church centre. We
have no objections. But let's take
the capitol and place it in a cen
trally located spot for future and
coming generations to know that
we have builded for their conven
ience which will be their heritage.
And now , not as a punishment
for Lincoln's behavior , but be
cause she has directed the atten
tion of the people of the state to
the fact they think more of Lin
coln as an educational than as-a
capitol city and we have been
served with such notice , which re
minds us that Lincoln is far from
the gpographieal centre as a capitol
tel site and while there is need of
much repairs almost the equal of
a new capitol , of which Lincoln
remided us two years ago , the op
portune time is at hand.
