Conslderahl campaigning was don dur
ing th week, for while the postmasters
sr out of politics and are taktng no active
Interest In political affairs, they seemed
to be In a very receptive mood when the
congressmen had suggestions to mnke. (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

At the meeting today Senator Norrls

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.

Apportioning Franchise a Vines.
The State Bourd of Ass -ssment tl N after
noon discussed a resolution introluced by
Secretary of State Juukln to appor'lon the
rolling stock and Intangible proierty of
railroads In the same ratio as the tangible
property Is apportioned. 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. .

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
