MISS HUDSPETH BEWAILS FATE
Stuart Woman Editor Says Newspaper
Work Is Not For Femininity.
Omohe , Neb. , Feb. 22. The only wo
man editor and publisher In Nebraska ,
who n year ago won national fame by
her crusade against the bachelors of
her own town , journeyed from Stuart ,
Neb. , to tell the Nebraska Press asso
ciation , at Its convention here , that
: hc woman editor in the west Is a fall-
ire. Miss Rosa Hudspoth , In conclud
ing her most entertaining paper on "A
Woman Editor's Experience , " says :
"In truth , the Ledger editor Is com
pelled to say that , from a worldly
standpoint , journalism for a woman In
the west is a failure , If she places prin
ciple above expediency. It will bo
still n bigger failure if she counts ex
pediency first , for she will be used as
a catspaw , like a certain brilliant wo
man of the Hnwkeyc state , who was
paid a big price for pulling chestnuts ,
and wns banished in disgrace from the
political and social circles of the me
tropolis. The Ledger has written re
form that has not reformed. Sermons
have been written that have fallen on
the dull ears of the public ; good has
been called evil. Up in Holt county
the political combine still thrives. The
manipulator of the slander mill lives
In luxury , with rare prestige and a big
following. The plnnderbund is sack
ing the county purso. At .Stuart , the
famous bachelor brigade Is still smok
ing , drinking , Illrtlng , but not one la
married. "
Miss Hudspeth tells with rare humor
her struggle with printers when she
became a publisher. Drink ended
their career , but not until they had
left their Impression by singing on tbo
street corner In their maudlin stages ,
odes to "The Lady With tbo Golden
Hair. " The old ladles met nightly to
discuss the Ledger printers. Then she
got a married man. The wife , soon
driven by gossips , made him quit.
Then she got a printer who always had
a copy of Shakespeare before him. lie
said ho had owned a theatrical com
pany which had gone broke , and ho
had returned to his former vocation.
One day the woman editor entered tbo
ofllco to find her printer aiming a re
volver at his wife's head.
"The woman wns so terrified I could
not believe she wns acting , " says Miss
Hudspoth , who relates the Incident
thus : "What is it ? " I asked. "Is it
n play or Is It real ? "
"The man turned the revolver
against his own temple , yelling , "I'll
blow my brains out ! "
"Is it real or a play ? " I shrieked.
"Blow your brains out ! " cried the
wife. "You dog ; you dragged mo all
over the west and starved mo and beat
me. If you kill yourself I'll go home
to my parents. '
"Then the woman rushed to mo and
tearfully pleaded that I send her to
her mother . The couple soon left and
got a position with a comedy com-
tinny , "
Then a woman printer was tried , a
foiing woman. The odltor could not
cave to gather news , but the mashers
: > f the village would appear t"b hang
) Ver the cnfios whcro the pretty printer
wns nt work. Scandalmongers again
made trouble. To protect the Ledger
> f11ce , the employment of young lady
irlntcrs wns abandoned.
Miss Hudspoth nays she then took
off her kid gloves and struggled along
with the types herself without the help
if n printer. She was tbo subject of
i protest meeting once because she
iiibllshod an allegory designed "to
teach the society and club women that
the money and talent of out town
might bo used In developing education-
: il , moral and civic virtues. When she
complimented a politician once , his
wlfo came and demanded an explana
tion of how she know the man was
"magnetic. " So the editress gave up
her party and supported only princi
ples. The politicians plotted to starve
the paper out. "There Is ono conjoin-
tlon left to the woman editor , It Is bet
ter to hnvo llttlo with right than great
revenues with wrong , " argued Miss
Hudspeth to the state press associa
tion.
TO CUT EXPRESS RATES.
Bill Is Introduced Reducing Them 25
Per Cent.
Lincoln , Nob. , Fob. 23. Special to
The Mows : Lieutenant Governor
Hopowell yesterday secured the passage -
ago of tbo suffrage bill in the senate ,
his vote breaking the tlo of sixteen
against sixteen. The bouse defeated
the bill which Is in the form of n joint
memorial to congress In favor of an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States to prevent discrimina
tion In the matter of elective fran
chise on account of sox. Senator Latta
of Burt was absent , being at the bed
side of a very sick son. There was
much discussion as to whether the
lieutenant governor had tbo right In
such a case to declare the bill passed
by a constitutional majority , but the
general impression seems to be that
the lieutenant governor acted within
his powers and according to the con
stitution of Nebraska.
Slight amendments to the terminal
tax bills by Senator Thomas and Rep
resentative Clarke have been agreed
upon by the joint committee on rev
enue which will now report favorably
on the measures. The bills provide
that local assessors shall assess local
railway property for city purposes and
make returns to the state board of as
sessment.
A bill similar to a law now In force
In Colorado and Oregon was intro
duced today by the senate judiciary
committee. Th'o bill Imposes an an
nual license tax of from $5 to $200
upon all foreign and domestic compa
nies doing business In Nebraska. By
the provisions of another bill the fee
for filing articles of state revenue will
bo solved by the license tax bill , as It
will produce annually about $300,000.
The salary bill is now practically
ready for Introduction by tbo finance
ways and means committee of the
bouse. Scarcely any reductions In
salary have been made. Slight in
creases all along the line seems to
have been the general plan followed.
Reduces Express Charges.
The charges of express companies
will bo reduced 25 per cent , below what
they were January 1 , 1907 , if tbo bill
Introduced yesterday by Senator Al-
drlch of Butler becomes a law. The
bill provides a fine of not less than
$1,000 nor more than $2,000 for each
violation. Senator Aldrlch has also
introduced a bill calling for a reduc
tion of 20 per cent. In railroad freight
charges. The penalty in the latter
case is a fine of not less than $10,000
and not more than $50,000.
It Pays to be a Gentleman.
Crcighton Liberal : No one can read
the reports of the way the great Cali
fornia lawyer , Dolphin M. Delmas , Is
handling bis client's Interest In the
Thaw trial or who has seen M. F. Har
rington in a court room but must con
clude that the days of the bluffer or
llltempored lawyers Is past If it over
wns bore.
District Attorney Jerome Is n very
able lawyer. He has been a scourge
for evil doors of a certain class of
gamblers though It seems at times as
though ho wns a protector for the
blood-thirsty gambling pirates who are
in possession of the street railways
and other public service corporations.
When pitted against Delmas , Jerome
Is made out a small bars tactician as
tbo Callfornlnn never loses his temper
and ho parries the thrusts of tbo pros
ecuting attorney with an urbane sar
casm that burns like vltrol.
Now Yorkers are standlnc agape
that a man' from tbo wild and woolly
west should come Into their territory
and actually show them anything.
While there are many essentials of
this case that are disgusting it Is qucs-
tlonablo if It is not going to bo a ser
mon in making public sentiment.
Too long have wo boon willing to
condone the weaknesses of men If they
had been eminent in some branch of
the material.
The ono law for the man and an
other for the woman is temporarly beIng -
