In a personal letter to me under date of Dec. 14, Mr. Jleiklejohn says that he will not under any circumstances be a candidate for re-election to congress. He has decided to enter the fleld as a candidate for governor, and he wi.'l rise or fall by that decision. It is a note worthy fact that Mr. Melklejohn, unlike many leading republicans in this state, is not identified with any particular clique. He is not the leader of any fac tion. He is a stronir. earnest, aggres sive republican and he has managed to manifest his republicanism without straying off on a tangent. I do not know of anybody of republicans that regards him with disfavor. There are few If any republicans in this state who would draw as many votes in a gubernatorial contest as Mr. Melkle john. He would make a good governor. !.: j i . .. --C" ''?? szr-zjhasBX &&&&':. ! -J&&;&i? -, V. . Recent proceedings In the district court in this city bring up once more the subject of Jury fixing. The affidavits filed by Mr. Adams in support of his motion for a new trial of the Davis case throw considerable light on the manner in which Davis was tried, and. taken In connection with other things, are convincing, to a great many people, that the verdict against Davis was in duced by improper means. The Jury fixer in Lancaster county thrives and luxuriates. He goes in and out among men, and is known by them to be a corrupter of morals and an obstructor of the law. Tet somehow he goes his way undisturbed. Nobody makes any particular effort to catch and convict him, and he operates In apparent safe ty. Meanwhile justice Is made an effi gy, a thing to be laughed to scorn. The law, men say, cannot be depended on. Public and private rights are trampled on. A seeming excuse for the anarchis tic utterances of a Herron is supplied. Will this evil and vicious practice ever be stopped ln this district? Will the suspicion be removed? With this Issue The Courier com pletes its tenth year its tenth volume. I think its publishers are justified in regarding it as In a small way one of the institutions of the city. It had its origin when Lincoln was in its teens, and it has grown steadily and outlived all of Its weekly contempora riesat least those published in the Eng lish language. The problem of keeping a newspaper alive In hard times Is not an easy one, and many contemporaries have passed away. In the year Just ending The Courier has been accorded a recognition and patronage most grat ifying to its publishers. Its subscrip tion, and I believe I may say Its influ ence, have greatly Increased. The pub lishers, appreciating thoroughly the val ue of the social or society feature, have felt that The Courier could be made more attractive and interesting by mak ing it something more than a Society Paper. They-have labored accordingly and the result thus far has sustained 3 ' Lansing Theatre, 2Toxi&ky9 Dec. "EH'NHEA WILSON" The New York Herald Square Theatre success under di rect iDn of Chae. E.
