LIVELY ROW IN THE COUNTY
OPTION FORCES.
There is a formidable row on among
the county option forces in which the
people of the whole state will he inter
ested. It arises from the desire of the
Nebraska leaders who have heen build
ing up a cause in this slate for some
years to get rid of the carpetbagging
anti-saloon league agent sent out to
reform this state by main strength ami
awkwardness ami at a handsome salary
paid him by the league. This agent is
M. S. Poulson, a professional auti
saloon worker, who has headquarters
in Lincoln ami has been making con
siderable noise, t
Frank A. Harrison, the former
railroad lobbyist for the Union Pacific,
who has been couductinga prohibition
paer in the capital, and who has not
been getting the financial support for
his paper which he thinks it entitled
to, has started and is leading the fight,
not only upon the work of Poulson,
but also upon the Anti-Saloon league
and its methods.
There is no more determined politi
cal force in Nebraska than Frank
Harrison. He did railroad political
work so long and so faithfully, and
traiued along with the inner circles of
republican leadership in this state with
such fidelity that he knows just how to
go to work to accomplish a political
end, and when he got after the offi
cials of the state Anti-Saloon league it
became time for them to sit up and
take notice. That he is after them is
evidenced by the fervor with which he
goes for them in his paper, The Capi
tal, published in Lincoln.
He declares that inquiries over the
state demonstrate that the league is
perfecting no organization to secure
the election of county option candi
dates to the legislature, and he blames
the officers of the league for the vigor
with which they pass the hat and
refrain from doing their work.
"The Anti-Saloon league' says
Harrison in his paper, "is a magnifi
cent collecting machine, and there its
effectiveness stops. It disclaims any
part in conventions or platforms,
makes no preparation for the nomina
tion of suitable candidates at prima
ries, and simply attempts to carry
elections by proclamations issued from
the headquarters at Lincoln, and
from the national headquarters in
Ohio. The failure to secure a county
option legislature two years ago was
because earnest county optionists be
lieved the state was organized, when in
fact the organization was only a pre
tense, and the coterie responsible for
this situation had been so intent on
securing donations from churches to
keep up salaries that tf e nomination of
candidates had been totally neglected.
"The campaign Is too far along this
year, and the issue too vital, to will
fully permit of the same mistake again.
The fact that an organization keeps up
its existence and maintains 'superin
tendents' and 'attorneys' on fat salaries
through the aid of money collected on
the inside of churches does not exempt
it from sensible criticism. What is
demanded is less proclamation and
more result.
"What the Anti Saloon league
claims is that it works entirely within
the churches that it is the church in
action against the saloon. It organizes
by naming three men in each church
whose duty it is to furnish to the head
quarters at Lincoln the names of the
church men who will vote against the
saloon. These meu are to be instruct
ed by mail from Lincoln how to vote,
and the sum of $50,000 is to be collect
ed for this purpose. 'None of this
money is to be permitted for use in the
local counties. General Superintend
ent Baker of Ohio, sends out notice
that some of the churches may retain
some of the money thus collected fur
their local campaigns, 'but not for loug
if they have a name to live and waut
to retain it.' "
Harrison complains because promi
nent salaried officers of the state league
deserted the state and hired themselves
out to the Colorado communities just
while the spring campaigns were on in
Nebraska, ami fail to show their Colo
rado earnings in the treasurv state
ment. This is perhaps also a matter
for complaint from those who pay only.
"The plain facts," says Harrisou,
"are that the good preachers of Ne
braska could furnish the lists of their
membership without expense, and
could influence that membership them
selves ten times better than can any
mail order scheme. And the money
that is poured so freely into the mys
terious treasury of a league of three
men in Lincoln could better be used iu
the communities and counties, organ
izing for practical results under the
leadership of local men.
"County optionists should at once
awake to the situation. Let us have
au end to these high priced proclama
tions, and this hat passing for the
benefit of salaried do nothings, and let
us have some actual and sensible work
done where work counts. Don't imag
ine for a moment that the walls of this
modern brewery Jericho can be tum
bled down by the blowing of rams'
horns, especially when the horns are in
the exclusive hands of three officers
who first demand all the available
funds as an inspiration for full breath
and long continued blowing."
It would seem as if the radical tern
(terauce people of Nebraska are thus
tardily finding out what a graft the
Anti-Saloon league has been from its
inception, here and everywhere, and
are discerning that they have been
milked systematically in the name of
religion and moral uplift. It is sad
to see the reformers at each other's
throats in this way, but where rival
ries obstruct ambitions of men, there is
bound to be warfare. A fat slice of
that 50,000 would have done Frank
Harrison's paper a mighty good turn
if applied at the right time. Omaha
Examiner.
SENDING NEWS TO HEAVEN.
The tone of church services should
be always impersonal. The most suc
cessful preachers are those who can
thunder against wrong in such abstract
ways that every member of the con
gregation can pick out some other as
a mark of the preacher's righteous
wrath. Naming names, or so
clearly indicating individuals as to
brand them in the eyes of the congre
gation, would not be charity, even in
a sermon. The negro preacher who
announced that he had detected a
member of his congregation in chicken
stealing, and threatened to burl a
missile at him, did not need to be more
specific. When, with one missile in
hand, he struck the attitude for hurl
ing it, that brother in a front pew who
ducked, named himself. Neither was
this Christian charity, in the strictest
sense of the woid. But it had in it
more of the essence of charity than
would be in the quality of a sermon
which would designate, clearly enough
for the general identification, any mem
ber of the congregation as being guilty
of deadly sins.
To grow personal in a prayer is not
only uncharitable, but is highly ridic
ulous. A prayer is heard by, but not
addressed to, those present. It is
spoken to one who, knowing all things,
and searching all hearts, may safely
be assumed to have advance knowl
edge of any shortcoming of any mem
ber of any flock. If one of the breth
ren in a congregation, looking for
evidence of a brother's guilt, shall
happen to find it, he may be sure the
Lord knew it first. Wherefore that
member of a church at Maplewood
asked: "Oh, Lord, help the official
board of this church to deliver us from
the black hearted demon in our midst
who now seeks to celebrate the second
anniversary "of his advent in this
church" was, so far as Omniscience
was concerned, going to wholly unne
cessary trouble for purposes of identi
fication. If there is "a black hearted
demon" in that Maplewood congrega
tion, the fact was known to divinity
before ever it was known to him who
pretended to be telling the Lord some
thing he didn't know. The result of
this wholly useless gossiping was that
the only member of the congregation
who is about to celebrate the second
anniversary of his connection with the
church walked to the front at the con
clusion of the service and called the
reporter to the Throne of Grace a
liar. The reporter retorted with a
blow in the face, which was not re
turned, a fact seeming to indicate that
the "black hearted demon" has more
of the Christian grace of humanity
than has the adviser of the Lord.
A just humau view of such a situa
tion as this was handed dowu by the
Supreme Giurt of New York a year or
two ago. A self-righteous husband
had, at family prayer, fallen into the
habit of relating to high heaven what
he called his wife's faults aud weaken
esses, and imploriug Divine forgiven
ess for her sius, aud a better under
standing of her duty. Exasperated
beyond endurance at last, the poor
woman one morning seized the family
Bible and hurled it at his head. He
sued for divorce. The wife filed a
cross bill in which this humiliation in
the presence of their children was set
out. The court, in granting the wife
a decree, with liberal alimony, pointed
out what it called the enormity of the
husband's offending. The judges im
plied their conviction that as much
time as the ordinary man gives to
prayer could all lie taken up in asking
for forgiveness for his own transgres
sions, and they denounced, as rank hy
pocrisy, that arrogated virtue which
presumes not only to sit in judgment
upon frail and beset humanity, but al
so to inform Omnipotence of what is
going on in the world. This is yellow
er than the yellowest journalism, for a
Paradise edition of the sensational ex
tra has not yet been thought of. St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
MARRIAGE PREVENTS CRIME.
Science is merely "organized com
mon sense," in Huxley's words, and,
therefore, what the experience of life
teaches the average man is pretty apt
to be formulated as a scientific "law"
by some savant. It has been a truism
for ages that to marry is to "settle
down," to become steady and "respon
sible." Now, Dr. Bertillon, on the
basis of very elaborate French statis
tics and studies, has promulgated cer
tain "theories" concerning the relation
between marriage, family life and
criminality. There is nothing strange
or new in these theories, but they are
interesting simply because they are
now demonstrable by facts and figures.
Crime, Dr. Bertillon shows, is not as
"rife" among married men as among
bachelors; the bringing up of a family
imposes "beneficent burdens" and cre
ates a desire for respectability and an
honored name. Widowers revert to
the criminality records of wild bache
lors including "Apaches." Childless
widowers are the worst offenders of all;
they stand highest on the criminality
lists. This shows the valueof woman's
control or companionship. The pre
sence of children is wholesome and de
terrent, but the best moral condition
of all is complete family life, with a
wife and mother to guide the house
hold and inspire or curb "the old
man." Chicago Record-Herald.

SENATOR BURKETT.
Senator Barkett goes home feeling
well satisfied with his work during the
past session. He is greatly pleased
over the much good legislation that
has been enacted, and says that during
his twelve years in congress there has
never been a session when so much
good progressive legislation has been
passed as at the one just closing. In
addition to the general public legisla
tion he says there has never been a
session when he was called upon for
so much special legislation for Ne
braska as at this one.
The Congressional Record shows
that .the senator has been a busy man
for he has introduced 147 bills, offered
15 amendments to the legislation
pending, presented over 3,000 peti
tions from constituents to the senate,
addressed the senate on 02 different
occasions, that he never missed a
vote except on the 30th of May
when he was making a flying trip to
Lincoln for his Decoration Day ad
dress. The Record also shows that he
passed 24 special pension bills for the
old soldiers, secured an appropriation
of $100,000 for the Lincoln post office
building, $15,000 for a site for a pub
lic building at Chadron, $25,000 for a
rifle range in Nebraska, an appropria
tion to build employes' quarters, a
blacksmith's shop and a superintend
ent's cottage at the Genoa Indian
school, $25,000 to establish a fish
hatchery in Nebraska.
Also that he passed his bill giving
settlers on reclamation projects the
right to transfer their title after they
had lived there the period required
for homestead entry, notwithstanding
the fact that they had not proven up
their case under the reclamation law.
Also he passed the Omaha Indian
bill for the settlement of the accounts
of the Omaha Indians with the govern
ment This is a matter that has been
pending in congress and that different
senators and represenatives have been
trying to enact into law for the last
dozen or fifteen years.
He also passed a law permitting the
Indians in Richardson county to co
ojierate with the citizens for the drain
ing of the Nemaha valley, amended
the federal court law and secured a
favorable report upon bis bill for the
establishment of a school of forestry at
Nebraska City. Also a favorable re
port upon his bill for federal boiler in
spection of locomotives. Iu addition
to this, several private claim bills.
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
John Wilson, jr., had a quarrel with
his father, Judge Wilson of Tecumseh
about thirty years ago and went away
to Texas.
After the joung man had gone away
the father regretted the hard words he
had uttered. The youug roan, too,
may have been sorry for having caused
the father's anger, but he went away,
kept his secret, called himself by an
other name, and for thirty years no
letter nor word came back from him
to tell that he was an engineer on one
of the Texas railroads.
The father and mother at Tecumseh
after waiting till they were old for the
letter that never came from their only
child, and after spending a part of their
estate in travel and advertising search,
died at last, leaving $30,000 in pro
perty to John Wilson, jr., if he ever
came back. Realizing that some im
postor might appear and try to cheat
himself into the ownership of the pro
perty, the old folks left a will with the
probate court propounding ten ques
tions that the claimant must answer to
prove himself the rightful heir, and
the proof must be made before July 1,
1910, or the property will go to some
nephews of Judge Wilson living in the
vicinity of Tecumseh.
Waiting anxiously and counting the
days till the $30,000 would be theirs,
the nephews were startled and the
whole town of Tecumseh thrown into
a twister of gossip by the sudden ap
pearance last week of the Texas engi
neer, John Wilson, jr. He is reported
to be answering the old-timers who are
questioning him, for these old-timers
are trying the case in advance and an
nouncing their decision that the Texas
engineer, now 60 years old, a grand
father, is the young man, the only son,
who went away thirty years ago and
kept his secret and sent no message of
reconcilation to his forgiving father.
Was it right? Of course not. He
will probably get' the estate. No one
except the nephews will grudge him
the property. But every one who
reads the story will wish that the son
had sent some message to the father
whose honest old heart was softer than
his hard words Sioux City Tribune.
ENDOWING HOME BUILDERS.
A Missouri farmer, who retired after
having accumulated a modest fortune,
died the other day, leaving a will
the provisions of which open a new
field in which philanthropist may make
investments that are certain to produce
perpeta! returns for the public good. I
The fanner, Peter R. Burns of Lib-1
erty, Mo., provided in his' will that
one-half of his estate is to go to the co
unty of Clay, "to be administered by
the county court in loans to men who
desire to build homes." The loans are
to bear 2 per cent aud are to be made
in amounts not exceeding $2,000 to
any one individual, aud are to be se
cured by real estate mortgages, to be
paid back at the rate of at least $100
a year.
Half of Mr. Burns' estate will
amount to $20,000. This will provide
for loans of $2,000 each to ten home
builders. The interest will amount to
$400 a year, and as the loans are paid
back and the fund grows from the in
terest payment the benefits will lie far
reachiug. It presents an opportunity
by which a good many deserving men
may be enabled to secure homes,
whereas without such assistance they
could not do so without great difficulty.
The ultimate effect will be the advan
cement of the geueral good. St. Paul

Of the weather by sorcerers was al

If the belief was held more strongly
along one coast line than another it
was around the I'altic rather than
elsewhere. As late as 1(570 a traveler

10 kroner (say 'M shillings) and a

Norway's Leve For Bjornson.
What Bjornson was to his own
people is best made clear by an inci
dent which occurred at his beloved
Aulestad not long before he was
forced to start on his final journey
to Paris in search of another lease of
health and life. A regiment passed
the place in the course of a maneu
ver. Its commander sent word ahead
to the poet asking him to review the
soldiers as they marched by. Bjorn
son stood on the veranda of his house,
surrounded by his entire family a
man who had never held any public
office, mind you! As the troop ap
proached ou the highroad below offi

commanding general or a member of
the royal bouse. But this was not all.
From the rapidly moving ranks rose
one mighty shout after another a

Built four centuries before Columbus

the early parliaments met. and here
the second Kilward was expelled from
his throne. Here Itirhard II. was de
