There are only two or three news
papers in Nebraska yellow enough to
persist in the reproduction of Diamond
Dick stories with Pat Crowe heroes to
poison the minds of boys with crime.
Thank God they are so few.
A Chicago stenographer has had
her employer fined $200 for making

Fremont Tribune.
George Williams who has been rec
ommended to succeed the veteran Ne
braska politician John Peters, as post
master at Albion is one of Boone
county's most able and progressive
young men and ene of the keenest
young men in the councils of the re
publican party in the state.
The modesty of A. W. Ladd of
Albion prompts him to treat as a joke
the talk of naming him to the high
office of Governor. As a matter of
fact few newspaper men in the state,
enjoy the confidence of as many edi
tors as does Mr. Ladd, and few men
in the state in any walk of life would
make better executives. Whenever
he gets ready to accept a nomination
to that high office we want an oppor
tunity to start the shouting. Mean
while we want to add our voice to the
growing chorus which is singing the
praises of that other excellent Albion
citizen, Los Brian, for state treasurer.
He who speaks a lie lives to see
the day iu which that lie returns to
the tongue which gave it life, and the
taste it brings is always bitter. Tele

And Howard knows. When he
penned these lines he was thinking
nrobablv of that artistic circular en
titled "Abbotts Last Lie Exploded,"
which he composed last fall the day
before election, carefully concealing
his Italian physiognomy behind the
back of honest John Galley. And
perhaps he was comparing in his ima
gination that reputed v odor of the
"Italian family" with the taste of the
medicine which John Galley forced
down his throat the next day in the
form of the -'Galley affidavit".
Our praying contemporary has
risen to 'such heights of Christian
piety that he opposes the "salary"
system for the clergy and criticises
the pastor, who accepts a "call" to a
field of larger opportunity, because he
says the minister should be above the
. temptation of a "salary call". Really
we shall not be surprised if our broth
er in his zeal for reform, should rise
up in behalf of the Christian church
and demand that the lay members
should be limited to ten-dollar bets in
poker games: enjoined from pulling
their friends legs, to cover jack-pot
deficits; ad reduced to one quart of

Mike narnngton may vet be re
leased from the management of his
western mine long enough to run for
the United States senate, in spite of
the Telegram's statement to the con
trary, if credence may be given to the
story which b afloat Simultan
ous with the launching of the Fremont
Herald the Telegram devoted several
columns to the reform states-man-potitician
from Holt county
which the Journal interpreted as a
long-distance senatorial boom for that
gentleman. The Telegram promptly
denied the truth of the Journal's con
. elusions averring that Harrington's
important mining ventures would call
him from the state for at least a few
years. .Now comes the story that the
angel-winged Mike has all but ship
wrecked his mining craft his fellow
holders are about to tear off his man
tle of power and turn him over to his
friend Howard to be clothed in the
senatorial toga. Mike seems to have
had a variable scale of prices to suit
the variows grades of his relatives and
his frieaxkand it is said that while he
was busy getting powers of attorney
froM thota whom he had let in oa the
"ground isc.im eavHo'hoW the
management indefinitely, a group of
Falls City stock-holders who had been
paying in their hard cash as against
the unpaid notes of some of Harring
ton's relatives, got next to thesmoothe
work and proceeded to get control of
a majority of the shares in the Har
rington mine. However, we simply
started out to say that if reports are
true, Harrington may soon - have an
opportunity to run for the United
States senate and display those quali
ties of statesmanship with which he is
credited.
THE CITY ELECTION.
The taxpayers of the city of Co
lumbus pay out annually $25,000 to
maintain all the departments of the
city government. This large busi
ness they entrust to several servants.
And for assuming the important
duties and responsibilities incurred,
these servants are not half paid for
the actual time the work requires.
Therefore the citizen who accepts a
nomination to one of these offices,
especially if he is a man big enough
and honest enough and broad enough
to assume the large responsibilities
imposed, accepts it at a sacrifice of
time and money.
All the duties of the offices are
strictly business duties, touching at
no point on questions of policy, which
form the basis of political parties.
There is no question of tariff or rail
road regulation at stake, nothing out
the question of a wise expenditure of
the people's money for the things that
go to make our city as desirable a
place as possible in which to live and
raise our children. To make the
sacrifice and perform these highly
important, but simple and non-political
duties, the law requires us each
spring to elect city officers.
This election should be an easy
matter, and it should be undertaken
with the same deliberation and free
dom from sentiment, with which any
individual would set about finding a
suitable employe to perform a piece
of very important work.
At the present time Columbus has
servants whose record, taken as a
whole is excellent. The payment of
the peoples money under their direc
tion for everything from the little
thirty cent printing bill to the larger
bills for street improvement, has beeu
along lines of strict business economy,
and the general welfare and public
morals have been carefully looked
after.
What would the individual business
man in Columbus do with an em
ployee who had made a similar record
for him in his private business? Sup
pose some politician should come
along and say to him, "You must
change employes this spring, because
our party organization demands that
the fences be kept up." The politi
cian would be taken by the seat of
the breeches and thrown over the
transom.
And yet the politician and the fel
low with the axe to grind are coming
before the people, of. Columbus this
spring and asking them to sacrifice
the city's interests "just to keep up
the party organization."
The editor of this paper claims no
higher civic motives than the average
citizen, and it is not necessary to state
that we believe in the party organiza
tion in its proper place. But we do
appeal to the people of Columbus to
sit down soberly and do a little hard
thinking before plunging this city,
which now has none too much of busi
ness unity, into a political scramble
tended to benefit two or three indivi
duals. Instead of spending-the money and
time which will be spent in a party
contest, how much better would it
be for these same contesting business
men, to get together and spend the
same time and money in resurrecting
our commercial club, and advertising
Columbus according to its real worth
as the best inland city in Nebraska
for home and business investment?
Both political organizations have
planned for the contest and if there
must be a contest, the Journal is
proud to stand with the republican
party which has adopted the direct
primary method of nomination, call
ing a mass convention to nominate its
candidates, a large number of whose
leaders placed themselves on record
last week with money pledges for the
prosecution of vote-buying and other
forms of bribery at the approaching
election. Nevertheless we would pre
fer to stand with all the people of Co
lumbus for a business administration
with politics eliminated and we be
lieve the citizens in both parties are
making a mistake to permit the poli
ticians to euchre them out of a citizens
ticket
If the party contest goes, it means
not a contest for party principle, but
a game which will be won by the
fellow that holds the most aces. And
the smallest ace in the bunch will be
labeled
"good government" The
largest one will be marked "bawdy
. v
house" another "dtyVprinting" anoth
er the "party fence" and anothe "the
opening of P street."
Will the plain sensible people of
Columbus with $25,000 in their poc
kets dedicated to the public good sit
in a game with the professional poli
tician who has up his sleeve the
"bawdy-house" ace? It is not too late
yet for a citizens mass meeting and
we believe it would receive the
port of a majority of both parties

8t Paul Republican : Pat Crowe's
release by a jury of his peers is hav
ing the natural reaalt. Scarcely a
niffht passes bnt someone is held up
in Omaha, and thousands at dollars
are being offered by terrorized busi
ness men for the apprehension of cri
minals. Probably not one of the
twelve dubs who turned Crowe loose
has sufficient intelligence to realize
the gravity of the proceeding. Any
one who justifies such a verdict on the
ground that young Oudahy deserved
kidnapping because his father was a
member of the meat packer's trust
(and this is the only argument that
we have heard in its defense) is cer
tainly not of very strong mental cali
bre, it is as inevitable that suoh
travesties on jantice should be follow

those who sow the wind must, reap
the whirlwind.
P. J Barron in World Herald: The
reform direoted against the violation
of the Sabbath day by amusements,
revelries of vain ceremonies is mani
fest in itself in different wavs through
oat the country. In one place the
saloons are closed, in another place
Sunday baseball is prohibited; in
still another the theaters and concerts
are closed, and in Wichita, Kan , a
ban has been put on Sunday funerals.
If report may be trusted, the ministers,
undetakers and grave diggers of
Wichita, appalled at the riotous ex
cess to which Sunday burying was
being carried by vicions or thought
less cadavers, have formed a compact
among themselves, each agreeing to
do away with such frivolity except on
a week day. So, in the future, if any
inhabitant of Wichita should be so
unlucky as to die on Friday, he will
be given an option whereby he may
either hurry up his arrangements and
be planted on Saturday or take a stay
of proceedings until Monday. . Of
coarse, if he were inclined to make
trouble, he might get out a writ of
habeas corpus and bury himself. Hut
this would be very plainly a resort to
legal teohniclity and would be nothing
for him to brag about. When a man
has recourse to technical quibbles and
underground methods it is a pretty
aood sign that he is a dead one. With
all the ministers and all the under
takers and all the grave diggerstand
ing together it would seem to be
a pretty stiff combination and well
calculated to impress upon the mind
of every candidate for the Wichita
boneyard that there is a time for
everything.
