BISaUIET AT THE STATE HOUSE
(Prom BU Corre.pond.lit.)
Lincoln, June 13.T-(Special.) It is
now Governor James Pearson, if you
Dtease.
When Governor Morehead left the
state last night taking with him Ad
jutant General Hall, head of the Ne
braska army, Food Commissioner
Ha'rman, Labor Commissioner Coffey,
Fish Commissioner Rutenbeck, In
surance Commissioner tastham and
other denutv state house officials, he
left the state in a woeful state of un
preparedness. While the head of the
state and his department heads were
hobnobbing in St. Loius, there was
nothing to prevent the Germans or
the allies sailing up Salt river and
laying our beautiful and ancient state
house in ruin's. ;
But the people may now rest in
peace. There is a head at the helm of
the ship of state and a firm hand on
the rudder. Governor Pearson will
now run the state government as he
ran the state senate the last ses
sion. It is true he has ne private sec
retary. Mr. Mumford having acconv
panied the governor to the democratic
convention, But Mr. Pearson believes
he can act as his own private secre
tary and perform the duties encum-
Dem upon oom wun ucauicss ai:u uia

Some Are Worried.
However,. while the people can now
draw their breaths without a flutter
ing of their hearts, t he same cannot
be said bf certain officials in the state
house.
"What will he do, was a much cir
culated question among certain de
partments. It will be remembered that soon
after Attorney General Reed assumed
the duties ot his ottice he dug up a
constitutional orovision which he de
clared that the present members of
the State Railway commision had no
right to hold their offices, because
they had given no bona.
Mr. Reed declared that the offices
were vacant and called upon Gover
nor Morehead to appoint three new
commissioners. However, the' gover
nor was slow to act. He took a squint
at the constitution which Mr. Keed
said showed plainly stated that all
executive offices of the state should
eive a bond, declaring that the mem'
bers of the Railway commission were
executive offices. But the governor
made haste slowly.
.. commission annus rat.
Governor Morehead was not sure
what he ought to do. Of course, he
would like to appoint three tried and
true democratis to the commission, to
fill the places held by three repub
licans, but somehow he could not see
his way clear and no appointments
have been made. In the meantime the
members of the Railway commission
stood pat and declared the constitu
. tion did not require them to give bond
and that the law creating the com
mission .said nothing whatever about
bonds. i
The matter has dragged along until
the present and the coming ot lieu
tenant governor to Lincoln and as
suming the duties of the governor
has set the tongues to going again and
while the new governor will neither
deny or affirm that he intends to ap
"point three new commissioners, those
who claim to be very close to Gover
nor fearson say that he has come
here. for that very purpose and that
he came here, at the instance of At
torney uenerai neea.
Notice is Served.
As an indication that there is some
'thing doing. Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Ayers, acting for Mr. Reed, who
is absent, served notice on the mem
bers of the Railway commission today
a bond. -
One of the commissioners this aft
er said that they did not expect to fol
low the orders of the new governor
and the attorney general.
When interviewed by the news
papermen this afternoon, Governor
f earson said there was not much in
it.'
However, there may be more devel
opments.
A message was sent Governor
Morehead this morning by his re
cording clerk, J. H. Presson as fol
lows: "Lieutenant Governor Pearson took
charge of the office at 9 a. m."
It is understood that Colonel Pres
son has also written the executive at
St. Louis that -the state house still
stands and that none of his appointees
have been removed and he does not
think that it will be necessary for
him to return home until he has been
nominated for vice- president.

Br WILLIAM HENRY BUSS.
Resplendent ensign of the free,
Revered, beloved, from sea to sea,
Renowned and blest on every shore,
nere Freedom e'er her message bore;
Sublime, on high,
Now float against our summer sky -
Thou glory of the patriot's heart,
'Neath which the loyal tear doth start;
Illustrious banner of the brave,
Above our homes and temples wavel
Our hearts are leal,
And hail thee with the cannon peal
Our North and South; our East and West,
With culture and with plenty blest
A clime, the fairest of the fair,
Bequeaths to thee her balmy air,
And bids thee quaff
Its nectar from thy stately staff.
Yea, far above our toftiest-trees
Float high, on every loyal breere,
And crown each dome throughout the Land
Where light and progress hold command;
And, mounting higher,
Full many a patriot thought inspire.
Inflame our millions, brave and free,
With new-born zeal in loyalty;
" And call our States from sun to sun,
To stand in glorious might as one
Each State as true
As thy own star-emblazoned blue.
Thy peerless beauty in the sun,
Unveils thy splendors matched by none;
Thy proud appeal to Freedom's soul,
Leads onward stilt to honor's goal;
, And calls each man
To live a true American I .
The stars upon thy field of blue,
Flash forth from that most loyal hue
And speak of Freedom, firm and great,
That makes of many, one proud State
A Nation strong
In love of right, and hate of wrong.
Thy stripes of snowy white that, lie
Like streams of light athwart the sky,
But emblems are of that pure ray
That cheers the Land where Mind holds sway
Where knowledge lifts
The Lamp of Truth, and all her gifts.
Thy 'stripes bid darkness to be gone;
They welcome in the world's glad Dawn
Yea superstition's chains they break,
And man's divinest powers awake.
O Flag of Light,
Where thou dost rule, there is no night I
Nay, more; through thee, proud thoughts arise,
Of Freedom's sons glad sacrifice
Thy crimson speaking of our dead,
And symboling the blood they shed.
O Flag of State, '
'Neath thee OUR blood we consecrate.
We hail thee; one united throng;
We greet thee with the patriot song
We raise thee high; we bend the knee,
We strike our swords in loyalty:
For thou dost stand
For all the grandeur of our Land.
And though our souls must e'er abhor
The hell-begotten scourge of war
Yet nerve thy sons to stand no less
Alert ih sane preparedness .
And swift to fight
For justice, freedom, truth and right I
Our Fathers' God, whose watch and care,
Have lent thee glory everywhere
Uplift to larger liberty
And make our Nation worthier thee;
Yea, every State, x
In Freedom's holy virtue, great!
And distant lands, whose iron thrones
Have cursed with war their' blighted zones,
Catch gleams of hope at sight of thee
Unfurled in .pride o'er every sea;
And in thy school,
Demand in might THE PEOPLE'S RULEI
And by thy .stars that shine as one
From Golden Gate to Washington;
That bless, from gulf to northern lake
Call Earth to Peace, for Love's dear sake,
Till-crimson blade
Be sheathed, and flow of blood, be stayed I
And speed the day, when every clime
- Shall hail the light of truth sublime;
And when some Ensign of the Free,
Shall float o'er every land and sea;
And all that's good
Be man's, with Peace and Brotherhoodl
