Carrol 1). Evans who stopped in Chicago on his way to Washington to attend the meeting of the Interstate National Guards asso ciation: "Col. Carrol D- Evans of Columbus, Neb., is in Chicago today, enroute for Washington to attend a meeting of the Interstate Militia as sociation, of which he is lh. secretary. Col. Evans is mentioned in Nebraska a? a candidate for the United State.- senatorship from that state. His lack of binding political alliances and his j friendship for the administration are j sa;d by liis friend? to be strong factor,, j in his favor. Ji.LlLllO. 11) AS.SESSMI-:.YT. The democratic papers of Nebras ka which are trying just now to steal for themselves a part of the glory for the increased a.-essment of Nebraska . railroads have received a most efl'ec- tive and appropriate jolt from the able hand of Edward Kosewater. Last Sunday's Bee contained the fol - lowing editorial which covers the whole ground: Political parties are judged by their records and not by their platforms. On the railroad taxation question the record of the republican part, al though not all that it should have been, will stand compari-mi with the record of Nebraska democracy or de mopopocracy without apology. The fundamental principle- or eq uitable taxation and railroad regula tion were embodied more than thirty years ago in the constitution of Ne braska by a convention that was more than two thirds republican. The campaign for railway regula tion and corporate supervision ha been fought in season and out of sea son almost single-handed by the Bee without tbe aid or sympathy of cheap and nasty demagogue.- who now raise their hands in holy horror becau-e the republican state board has not assessed railroads up to their full value. Where were these loud-mouthed blatherskites when the democrat- were in power? Why did the notappcar be fore the democratic state boards to re monstrate against the iniquity of un-der-valuation? What have they ever done to bring about equitable taxa-i tion .except to help and howl during political campaign? Everybody in town knows that the Bee has not been mealy-mouthed about derelict republican state boards of assessment. Everybody knows that the mountebanks who are now raging and fuming about railroad undervalu ation kept mouse still when the demo pop assessment boards were in session auJ kept just as still when the repu- ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLBBbV ''BBBBBBBBLNbIbbSPbH'VIbVbkSTbBBbI- BBBbBIBBBLbIbb3bbVP .teBHBBBBBBBelBtefl9BVBV.MlB aVM9lfiBHBnHBV!9BBBBBBBBBBH BBbV "fL Tlflff1 'TBBSbVIbbBSbBbVBBBMBIP" -alaBlBjEWMVBBBlBBBBBBBaBBBBBBBBBB -" - f - -?3aJiav&seaxaBw' vbbbbbb7l4Kmbdb1bbb9Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb?

THAT PUOniMTIOS SPASM. The editor of the Telegram has an annual prohibition spasm. The first symptoms appear just before the time for naming a city ticket and the most acute, stage arrives ju?t before elec tion. Most any pretext serves to bring on the dreadful convulsions from a drunken street brawl to a tem perance editorial from the pen of a renublican. Uut the warninir bc- tweon the lines i always the same: ...:,loon ,neM, the democratic party is ymr only irieml. Stay with 'us and )e .av(.(l." This time the convulsion was brought on by an editorial from the News whose editor happens to be oppo.-ed to the granting of a saloon license in the town in which he lives, fn the light of Editor Ladd's com ment last week on his previous editor- j:ll? lne Telegram editor will have to j "con,c out of it" and .-tart his spasm over :ir:uii on another subject. The !aloon men arc "dead next" to this , t.hCap annual bid for their support, I Alitor Ladd's editorial follows: The casual remark by this paper that it was only a question of time when the republican party could take up the question of temperance reform, has furnished the democratic press of the state with a text tor some frenzied editorials on the sure destruction of all personal liberties of the people, un less the republican party is hurled to destruction. They Hatter the News bv designating it as the head and cen tcr of republican wisdom and policy, and that whatever this editcr says will surely come to pass. When we remember that the only democratic governor Nebraska evei; had was elected on the liquor issue, it is to be wondered at that any prospect of an other chance to make a similar win ning is hailed with "eclaw." Jn or der to, in a measure, restore the equi librium of our democratic bretheru. we have concluded to not insist on the closing of all saloons in Nebraska this year. Their "liberty" to indulge in all the prerogatives of democratic pre cedent and tradition is herein granted them, for a period of one year from this promulgation. AMEIilCAN MOTHERHOOD. Referring to the resolution intro duced in the House last week by Be presentative Sheppard of Texas, in the name of American Motherhood, asking congress to "investigate" Pre sident Roosevelt for having a certain Mrs. Rogers forcibly removed from the White House because she planked herself down on a chair "and refused to budge until she had seen the presi dent, Harpers Weekly makes the fol lowing comment: That is the American Mother to whose rescue the gallant Taxan springs. Unfortunately for the esta blishment of a principle of executive administration by act of congress, the LABORATORY AND ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT, STATE UNIVERSITY. resolution is less explicit titan we should like. What does the congress man mean by "American?" Would he restrict she privilVqi! nf interrup tion to United '"tates mothers, or fake In Canadians, Mexicans. Venezuelans, Pnrto-Kicaii;-, Filipinos, and colored mammies, so they brought with them evidence .f their distaste for race sui cide? And need they be. mothers at all? How about old maids and mar ried maidens, who have -only hopes Everybody will agree with the con gressman that it is wrong to violate everv sentiment that glorifies Anieri- can manhood ami American chivalry and upset the most sacred element o? American life. But where, if any where, shall we draw the line? Are all or only a part of our females the superiors of the president of the Uni ted States, despite the glamour of his great office? It is a timely inquiry and shonld be included in the resolu tion. Otherwise the president will never know whether he must appear when called by any one of seventy millions or of only twenty millions of ladies who have relatives to look after. We commend this phaze of the sub ject to the careful consideration of the happily named Sheppard. Mean while, he needn't worn. A irreat many of us, including the president himself and even the awful Barnes, have had American mothers, and will see to it that they have adequate pro tection while the congressional inves tigation proceeds. That is, we will divide the work. The rest of us will look after the American mothers who stay at home and darn and spank the babies, if the Mower of Texan chivalry will attend to those who jro yawping around the White House. ED ( T.JTOX.IL VXIT ) The public school system of Ne braska is a unit beginning with the primary grades of the common schools and ending with the graduate school of our state university. The high seohol otlers only an in termediate course between primary and higher education, and the gra duate of the high school has only pre pared himself to enter the real field of education. This unity of the "school system of Nebraska is too often overlooked, and parents instead of promoting their children from the highest jrrade in the high school to the higher grade in the public school system in the state university, set them adrift to find mooring in some private institution which lives only as it imitates that highest department of our public school system. In order to emphasize this, unity in the school system of Nebraska we are showing this week by courtesy of the university authorities some of the buildings in which industrial educa tion, begun in the elementary manual and physical training ofl'ered in the Columbus high school as illustrated last week, is carried forward in more complex manner. And the same progressive unity which is found in industrial education, exists in the departments of language literature, history and mathematics. The Journal is glad by means of these excellent cuts to illustrate to parents and students some of the ex cellent features of the educational system of our great state, and to com mend to the boys and girls who read the Journal the completion not of a part, but of the whole of the pub lic school course in at least one of its many excellent departments.

Lincoln Star: It Is our private opin ion publicly expressed that the republi cans of Nebraska, when they get ready, will select their own candidates for gov ernor and the whole republican state ticket, and run him and the rest of the ticket on a republican platform, with out waiting for the consent of any other party on earth not even for the fusion iste, who are bothering themselves a good deal jnst now unnecessarily and unasked about the matter. Free Lance; The election next fall in Nebraska will be an important one us there will be a full ticket to elect, six congressmen to choose, a legislature to select which will name an United Stutes senator, henides the Iwcal county and precinct officers. Tien on top of that there will be an amendment to the constitution to vote upon which pro vides for a railroad commission to con trol the matter of railroad affairs. Aud contingent upon the carrying of that amendment there will be three railroad couimisioiiers to elect who will hold office if the said amendment carries. The election will be one of more than ordinary importance and the people can well he awake to the situation and no doubt are. The state is republican and will be if that party puts up a pe 'pie's ticket, but a corporation bunch of nominees will be suowed under in i-reat shape. PERSONAL and PERTINENT A full grown Columbns business man slapped 6nd kicked a young school boy one day last week because the boy tossed a snow ball which hit said full grown man in the back. There is some thing wrong with the soul of the man who could toop to do so cowardly an act. In the first place any man who is worth while was once a boy possesed with a taste for casting snow balls at moving objects. There is something wrong with the b who does't posse-s that taste and the courage to follow it np with action. In this case the boy who cast tbe snow ball stepped out manfully from the crowd of boys he was with and admitted it. And in return for his frank admission he received curses and blows. Hd the hoy been a man ha wonld have had his assailant arrested and fined for assault and battery. Our own feelings had just about- prompted us to suggest the old-fashioned whip ping post as a remedy in this case. But the boy in question and his friends will doubtless find a more effective remedy of their own. If they are made of the right stuff they will patrol the streets with their pockets full of snow halls with which to greet this individual every time he walks home to dinner. Snowballing on the streets is a nuisance but it should be punished the same as any other nuisance, and the man who so far forgets his manhood as to u-o his superior brute strength to punish a small boy for an innocent prank is a fit subject for the treatment suggested. Brother Howards' imagination cuts some very strange antics. It got busy again last week aud discovered a repu blican ring in poor old democratic Platte where there have not been enough re publicans in office at one time since the flirtation of Adam aud Eve to 1 ijk from the coats of those democratic hypno tists he long red whiskers from the patriarchal beaid of Swanson. Of course everybody expected the Tele--gram to slobber uver Swenson the same as it does over every other official whose misdeeds contribute cash to the Tele gram treasury. But to Jind a republi can ring in Platte county. That i as great a joke as the Telegram's promise to pay tiiat '-tainted hundred." lh airman bwauson was in the city Monday. His time was occupied at the the court house where he signed some county warrants and at the office of the chairman of the democratic central committee, J. H. Johannes, who did ihe literary stunts on the "S100 Reward, Ma licious Liar" letter, which will appe.-irin the democratic papers this week over Swanson's name. The editor of the Journal is o::Rupy ing the same offices with Walter Phillipps and Henry Corrig until the new Phillipps building is completed. Some good people think this arrange ment may lead to tbe fusion of tbe dem ocratic and republican parties in Platte county. But we hope for still better ELECTRICAL LABORATORY, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA things. Since Swanson has gone demo cratic we are going to offer to swap him even for Phillipps and Oarrig. A good citizen came to the Journal office last week with a story which car ried with it its own moral. He said: "The newspapers are ahvaje talking about patronizing the home merchant. How about vonr "heme mer chant" who ordered a freezer of cream from Omaha the other day and who gets most of his groceries wholesale':" Th.e merchant referred to, justice demands us to say, is not a Journal advertiser.
