YfHO LEAD IN LEGISLATURE
flichoh and Peterson Make Their
Mark for Constructive Quali
ties of Leadership.
2J0RT0N AND TAYUOR COMPARED
' (Prom a "taft Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 14--Speclal.) Ij the
house two men In this session of tv
legislature have deivelopad qualities which
mark them especially as entitled to men
tion. Both men happen to be repub
licans, but no one disputes their ability
to deliver the goods. These two men are
Representative James Nichols of Madi
son and Representative. C. Petrus Peter
son ot Lancaster, both attorneys.
Nichols is serving his second term as
representative. Two years ago he made
a record which showed he had the ability
to deliver the goods. At that time, no
matter how great the confusion, when
ever Nichols arose to address the house
every member paid attention. This ses
sion is a duplication of the last. Every
body recognises that "J1m" says things
when he talks and says them In a way
that carries conviction.
Peterson Is a now man in the legislature,
but ha has rapidly taken a place In the
minds of the members as being one of
the level beaded members.
Speaker Slakes Mark.
On the majority side Speaker Jack son
has exceeded the expectations of his
most sanguine supporters at the beginning
of the session. He rules the house firmly
and sits down on a member when it is
necessary and makes him like It. It Is
no disparagement to former speakers to
say that very few of them hare been in
the George Jackson class.
Norton of Pollc Is a, leader. No one
can dispute that. A man who can over
turn the adage that "two blades of grass
should be made to grow where only
one grew before," and make, it read,
"one blade where two .' grew before,"
Is some leader. Norton baa done this
in the case of stats appropriations and
he has forced the house to back him
in the proposition and loin with him In
chanting, "Backward, Turn backward, O,
Time in Thy Flight." For a progressive
.Norton appears to be gifted with a great
deal of hindsight.
Norton sad Taylor.
Another man, who has been an able
lieutenant of Norton in his efforts to
cut down expenses, is Taylor of Cus
ter. They have their seats side by side
and frequently hold animated discus
sions between themselves in an under
tone while something is going on In
the house.
The men are exactly opposite In their
methods. Norton Is quiet, smooth and
resourceful. He believes It better to
catch a bird by putting salt on Its tail
rather than use the methods ot his col
league and wring the bird's neck. Tay
lor believes in fighting In the open and
when he goes after a proposition of
legislation he goes after It in the sledge
hammer style, which makes his speeches
sensational. Tsylor Is not always right,
but everybody gives him credit for think
ing he Is right.
However, the house contains no mem
bers, who can compare with Nichols and
ieicrsun, lor constructive qualities, ana
this is generally conceded.
The senate this session Is a pretty
even body. Probably a more even body
has never served Nebraska In many
years. No particular individual stands
out prominently above his associates.
From the standpoint of oratory, prob
ably ttandall of Tork, a republican, would
be selected. There ure others who are
convincing talkers, Howell of Douglas,
Mallei y of Box Butte, Beal of Custer
and one or two others.

SPEAKER HOUBTHE SOLONS
presiding; Officer Hatchet Plan to
Xeep Members in Lincoln
Until Finish.
WILL KEEP BACK ALL WARRANTS
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 14. (Speelal.)-There
will be no desertion of the old legislative
ship Just before it sails Into port if Skip
per Jackson has ht way. All the port
holes will be nulled up and the boats t. ill
be turned loose and If anybody leaves
the craft before It la anchored In the har
bor and the voyage ended they will have
to Jump overboard and swim and take
the chances of going to the bottom.
Speaker Jackson Is determlnted that
every member of the legislature shall
stay until the end. Last week he endeav
ored to get a motion through the house
that no member would be given his little
warrant for the last SiOO until the session
was over, but It was voted down. This
has made the speaker suspicious and he
has been In consultation with his orri.ial
stsff and they have decided to hold up
all warrants until the final sound of 'the
gavel.
He will take the matter up with Lieu
tenant Governor Pearson as soon ss he
can and endeavor to enlist that gentleman
in a scheme to refuse their signatures on
all vouchers until the session Is, ended.
This may be mighty hard on the pup. but
It will be the making of the dog.
Speaker Jackson has been reading the
scriptures of Nebraska and has discovered
that the hired men are hired for two
years and that they cannot call It off as
soon as the legislative sixty days are
over. The session will likely run severs!
days over the sixty and If the members
do as they usually do there may be hardly
enough left to make an official adjourn
ment, so the sieaker figures that tf he
holds up the pay checks the members will
not have any money to pay their back
board and lodging and nothing to buy a
railroad ticket, and the walking will be
mighty uncomfortable this spring unless
it dries up.
The house has worked fifty days and
the senate forty-eight. It is probable
that the session will run Into sixty-five
snyway and perhaps more unless some-
body gets busy. April S to 10 will be j
about the time when the thing will be
over.
Even Balance, Not
Weight, Makes Long
Mileage in Tires
What makes a tire give big
mileage?
This question Is always the go-ahead sig
nal for warm discussion among motorists
and tire men. Users ot tires are begin
ning to ask themselves this question and
are looking for the correct answer with
increasing insiatence, because they realize
that It is possible to pay for needless
materials in a tire.
As a matter of fact, mere extra weight
of rubber will not give extra mileage.
Neither will added layers of fabric neces
sarily add more miles Of service. If an
overbalance of rubber is used the carcass
ot the tire will give out long before the
tread is worn down and the motorist
finds several pounds of rubber on his
hands which he cannot use and which
be paid many dollars for.
The real long mileage tire is the tiro
with perfect balance between carcass
and tread, so that as much or more mile
age is given as any extra thick tire could
give, without costing the motorist so
much.
Along these lines C. J. Torongo, local
manager for the B. F. Goodrich company,
makes these interesting remarks:
"Extra rubber tread or extra fabric, or
both, will not give you extra mileage, be
cause the extra weight makes the tire
wear Itself out before it gets to the long
mileage goal. This is not theory, but
road-tested fact.
"The Goodrich factory has for yesrs
adhered to the perfect balance principle
in tire building, which accounts for the
mileage plus economy found In those
Urea "

MENTION OF MONEY IS HEARD
Not yet Is the happy end of the annexa
tion fight If the officeholders and anil
leaders can keep up the fight until next
week. Even with the vote of the Ne
braska house of representatives ass Inst
hm the antls are still asserting that
they can beat the bill on third reading
Meetlnss have been held In South Omaha
wlthtn the last forty-elaht hours. It Is
asserted, for the purpose of raising more
money. One officeholder is quoted to the
effect that the hill could be beaten with
money.
City Attorney Henry C. Murphy, who
returned from Lincoln yesterday. Is said
to have brought word that tlie bill would
be beaten nest wek.
However, some of the officeholders ad
mit that they are leaten and some of them
went on record yesterday to the effect
that they favored the bill with the
eniTKenry rlausc attached.
Mayor llo.-tor of whose loyalty to the
anil cause his own enmp has expressed

he expressed hlmrelf as aaainst the bill
now as ever.
Members Find "tent I meet Strong.
There Is to doubt thst the antl leader
will try once more to kill the bill. And
It la asserted that more money was sub
scribed st a sret meeting held In a room
in South Omaha Friday night. Just what
Is to he done with the money cannot be
sai'l, but the antls were very busy jester
dny, some of them still assorting that
they could beat the measure. , One of the
deepest troubles of the antls la that state
legislators, who have come to South
Omaha to feel out the sentiment, have
gone back to Lincoln openly for ths
merger till as It stands.
' Will Try to Recommit.
Representative Barrett will try to
smother the bill when It comes up this
week by moving to recommit It to the
committee In order to eliminate the twen
ty-day clause. Ostensibly this appears
to mean that Barrett wants the bill to
become a law before the twenty days
now required by the bill. Realty It
means to get the bill back Into commit
tee for the purpose of smothering It to
death. '

Now, let us take a rational
view of Advertising. Let us
forget the space-seller for a
moment and consider , what
it is that an advertiser gets
when he buys Advertising.
Because a man is President
of an Ad Club in-his home

he knows anything about
Advertising. Ad Clubs are
usually organized by space
sellers for tho purpose of as
similating the appropriation
of the advertiser" and inci
dentally keeping alive the
interest of tho advertiser in

is to lure the advertiser to

Travelers from Any and All Cities
Find Apt Abbreviations for

HOTEL CIEP.K MUST KNOW ALL
When Chief Clcik t 'If fee of Ihe Fon
tenelle and the veteran, Chief C'.erk An
derson, of the Home, mentioned on the
same day the peculiarities of Hotel regis
ter abbreviation. It was sn omen tint
the subject should ha written up.
An examination of the registers of the
two hotela over a period of lees thnn two
weeks revealed some odd ones and some
that could not he deciphered without the
Sid of those whose business it Is to know.
The biggest cities in the country are
hardly ever written out In full on hotel
registers. "N. Y." or "N. T. C," "Chgo"
or "Chi.." and "Phlla." are the respective
dcslinat'ons of them. , x
St. luils nenerally appears as "St. L."
and Kansas City has three different
nnms oV reaister. 'K. C," "K. City" and
"Ka.:.City."
"D. M." Is not a profane entry on the
book, hut on'y short for Des Moines.
"S. F." in essy-San Francisco, and "C.
B." la short for Council Bluffs, while
S. D., t'al." Is revealed as San Diego,
California. "1. R." wouldn't be guessed
by anybody at flrft glance. It stands for
Orsnd Rapids, where they nmke the fur
niture.
"Bkn H." stood on one register and
pustlcd the investigator. He thought It
sounded or looked like Brooklyn Bridge,
but the clerk said It stood for Broken
Bow.
"S. Creek" and "H. Springs" stood re
spectively for Silver Creek and Blue
Springs, Nebraska towns, while "Tbl Rk"
was short for Table Rock.,
fat Oat Vowels.
This habit of slgnlnR nsmes of cities,
omitting all the vowels anil some of the
consonants, Is quite common. There Is
"Mpls" for Minneapolis. "Inrtpls" for
Indianapolis, "Spgfld" for Springfield.
"Bstn" for Boston. One verr weary
traveler even found a way to shorten tho
name of his home town, which wss short
enough already, by signing "Akn" for
Akron, O.
"N. G." looked like a pretty poor sort
of town until the clerk explained that It
rtood for Newman Grove.
"Onto" waa entirely unsolvahle ti the
lay mind. It sounded like a certain pop
ular or unpopular clear, but It was In
reality a shortening of Cincinnati. O. A
man from Cincinnati can't be blamed for
Inventing a way to shorten the signature.
. Stands far Two Towns,
"Pgh" Is found on the books frenently
and some people would have to think a
long time before getting the right answer.
Of course, It's nulto familiar to the hotel
men as the short form of Pittsburgh, and
It reminds one of the remark of tho late

Poes any one need to tell .
you which of these papers is
worth more as an advertis
ing medium for a clean,
high-grudu food product? A
newspaper should base its
rate on quality instead of
circulation and in this case
quality refers not only to the
people who read it, but to
editorial and news matter,
and tho advertising it car
ries. The value of advertising
in the newspaper or any
other publication depends
upon three things; first, the
kind of eople who read it
and this refers not only to
intelligence, but to purchas
ing power -second, the pos
sibility of attracting the at
tention of "the readers and
this depends not only upon
your copy, but upon the
quality and quantity of tho
other advertising carried
third, the editorial influence
and the tone of the pa per
elements that have direct re
lation to the reader's cont'U.
dence in the advertising.
