(Hi congressman remarked: "It s impossible for postmasters to keep out of politics. Bom one has to keep th party organiza tion Intact. In my district the people who are opposing jii sre the men I turned down when they wanted to le postmasters. If the posi mauler does not offset that In fluence wlier would the congressman be?" The coagresmen were all here and while there were set speeches and speechea not set. politics occupied the attention of the Nashya, In the hotel gobbles. Candidates for state offices were also on hand nil worked hn Ibe postmasters to get assist ance In the' preliminary . contest. 8enator Aldrich came If this morning to offset the work rtorie by Congressman Hlnshaw, who waa a regular attendant. Mr. Aldrich said he b making the race on the record he made In the state senate. H. L. Conk and, John L. Pierce, candi dates for' auditor and J. A.

At the meeting today Senator Norrls Brown, Congressman Boyd and Postmaster Thomas of Omaha were among the speak ers. y . r ' . ' ' Pollard on Ciood Hoada. Congressman K. M. Pollard addresrlng the postmasters on "Oood Roads," said In part: I am 'very glad, Indeed, to observe the general Interest the people are tak,ng In the question of good roads and I do h . p t that every county, not only in the Kru congresslnnnl district, but In the who e state, will avail themselves of the services of Mr. Sroon, the government engineer, before he . leave tiie atata. It Is not Ihe province of the I'nltrd States g-overnment to go Into the htiMnese of constructing or Improving the highways of the- whole-country. 1 do pot believe that such policy would be wise or would bring the-best results. Neither do I believe thai the states ought to appropriate money direct ifur the general Improvement of the highways. I believe that the county unit Is fur preferable. The money should be derived In exactly the same way at present, only the work should be curried forward under a uniform plan carefully worked out and under the direction nf an expert roa.l engineer for each county. The department at Washington will send experts to, confer with tho county boards nnd sld t'nem In every way possible by giving advice and Instruction. The gov ernment, however, will appropriate no money aside from paving th salary and expenses of the engineer who app"ari solely In an advisory capacity. Funds from Local Aalhorltles. The government will furnish the expert and scientific knowledge, but it will expect the locut atithoiiiles to 'raise the funds and do lh work. The services of this en gineer U cost the counties nothing. Thi-y are In a xuitlon to secure the advice of one of Ihe best road enninei-rs In the United States free of cost and 1 hop they will tak advantage of It. 1 hope that when you postmasters go home you will Impress this fact upon your county boards and endeavor to have them make application through your reapetclve con gressmen to secure the services of this engineer. The office of public roads of the Depart ment of Agriculture waa established in ISM. From the time of the organisation of this division until this year there has not been a dollar spent In Nebraska except the assistance furnished by the government in the construction of the macadam Dad across the Nemaha bottoms at Auburn. The session of congress Just closed ap propriated J90.0.10 for the division of niihiin v roads. I believe that Nebraska oukh ru receive Its proportional share of this rtc.ftm. The only thing the people I ave to do Is to make their requests and I a shut" y m that they will receive their full quota. S far aa I am concerned I am in favor of building up the office of public roads a' Washington, enlarging the force of exce-t road engineers so. tnat this plsn of f irnl-ih-Ing expert advice may become general throughout the United States. I do not think thfe is any department of the gov ernment that is capable of doing more go d for the people as a whole than the divUlon of public roads. 80 long as I remain a member of the committee on agriculture I wish to assure you that Nebraska shall have Its -share of the exprt and scientific Information that is derived, not only from this division of public roads, but from all the other divisions ami bureaus of that great department, which Is doing so much for the Improvement of the agricultural conditions of the 1'nited States.

That Is the fran chise and rolling stock will be apportimed according to the various lines and not ac cording to the systems. Instead of adopt ing the resolution the board referred It to th attorney gencralMor an orlnion as to Its legality, there being som question about It. The terminal tax law provides tho rolling stock and franchise shall be apportioned on a mileage basis over the system and the board is not sure that It can be apportioned according to the 1ms which go to make up the system. Th adoption or rejection of the resolution ll make considerable difference In the opera tion of thetermlnal tax law. The board for mally adopted the figures recehtly pub lished showing the value of the various roads. . (overnor and Wife Entertain.

LIQUOR DEALERS IN SESSION National Assoelatloa of Retailer Dle cassea License, Loeal Option and Other Law. NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y.. June 26-Th snnual convention of the National Liquor Dealers' association was continued her to day. Dr. A. J. Freeburg, attorney for th Ohio Win and Spirit association, was th first speaker. He said In part I think that If certain unnecessary and improper features have beer, allowed to grow up In connection with the business or selling liquor, it Is due ertirely to the American public. The American drinking place. Its manners and customs are de termined largely by the people, who fre quent it. I do not mean by this to con demn the whole American public. but simply to point out that the few saloons, which are the subject of criticism and proper criticism on the part of society. are those saloons which cater to a class of society, who demand that kind of thing in some form or other. But the unfortunate part about it la that you Anti-Saloon leaguer finda the baj saloon ready to his band from which to draw the Illogical conclusion that all places where liquor is sold are bad. The vision of the prohibition fanatic la no larger than a key-hole, and when he makes use of sn unfair syllogism, he does not know thst he Is doing an Injustice. T. M. Gllmore, president of the National Model License league, said in part: The National Model License league con tends that all licenses now In existence should be msde to renew themselves year oy year so lung as the retailer is obedient to law. It contends further that high li cense la opposed to the best Interests, not only of in. retail liquor dealer, but of society in general. High license Is In th nature of a penalty, and this business should not be penalised If it la a proper .business for society to license, It should b irrated fairly, and If It la a wrong busi ness for society to license, it should b prohibited. We believe that if a license such as ws advocate (and It Is very stmllsr to licenses l.-sued In other countries where th busi ness Is properly conducted) should b Is sued by our states, it would become a thing of great value, and th retail liquor dealer would not feel Inclined to jeopar dise It by doing anything that might bring about Its cancellation. To Insur th ob servance of law, however, upon th part of th retail liquor dealer, w Insist that th Knaltle forth violation of law should mad mandatory, and that conditions In the license should provide that for th first offense of th violation of law, shirt conviction la secured In a court of con-patent Ju'jdlctlon, th license should b oan rel'.ed and that th holders sf th Itcena should b prohibited from engaging again la Ul suImu im teat atata la laa futw an 1 -$ 1 1 -sal r v vi mi 1 1 a. w - s r I I i-sb.i $350.00 Malcom-Love, oak. . . $375.00 Fisher aV Co.. walnut $235.00 Upright, mahogany $325.00 Matushek $290.00 mahogany Upright $250.00 buii walnut I'prlght g an Instrument from us. lected.
