None of the newspapers told the whole
truth about the Tecumseh convention
Much of it was unfit for publication.
L. L. Lindsey, of Lancaster, and Mr.
Dovey. of Case, were selected as district
delegates to the national republican
convention.
Compiomise didn't go at the republi
can state convention. The four delegates'
John L. Webster, Peter Jensen, Thomas
P. Kennard and George H. Thummell,
were instructed to vote for McKinley as
long as his name is before the conven
tion. The Lindsey episode continues to be
discussed, and all sorts of opinions are
expressed. The action of the republi
can county convention and the district
owvnUoh4s harshly criticised, and the
district delegate from this county is a
more conspicuous figure than ever.
Lindsey is only a type of an element
that gets a foothold only where it is
given a foothold: an element that thrives
not by its own virtue nor makes any
pretense to virtue but lives and moves
and cnnies into power in a stealthy, neg
ative fashion, basing its strength on
other men's weakness. The responsi
bility is with the other side, for they
embrace what they might stamp out.
We have a dozen intelligent citizens here
in Lincoln, leaders in business, leaders
in society, leaders in politics, men with
families, men with a vital interest in see
ing municipal affairs clean and straight,
who deliberately cater, directly or indi
rectly, to the very lowest elements in
the city, to the saloons, to the corrup
tion of the suffrage, to the bawdy houses,
to the gambling joints. It is these men
who are responsible for the condition of
things, these men who have the shaDing
of affairs in their own hands, and they
are worse than the element Lindsey
represents because they know better.
There are hypocrites in politics as well
as in religion and in the final reckoring
these are the men who deserve the pun
ishment. If there is any justice in the
hereafter these are the ones who will be
the most damned.
If the influence or effect of this sort
of thing reached only to stirring up in
dignation in those who feel as well as
make pretense to some sense of moral
integrity, it might not seem to "our
pushing business men and citizens"
worth while to pay any attention to it.
But the effeit does not stop there. I
wish the city of Lincoln might some day
wake up to the fact that there is a vital
connection between its behavior in mu
nicipal affairs and itB material prosper
ity. It cannot forever cater to the worst
elements and invite capital and immi
gration. It k hardly reasonable to com
plain that because we make ourselves
as repulsive to home-seekers as possible
ann establish a reputation for financial
indiscretion and loose management, we
do not pursuade people and capital to
come to us. Men and money are neither
of them as gullible or as inexperienced
as we may think. Especially is it easy
for them to avoid us when we flaunt our
banner labeled "Expert municipal
wreckers" in their very faces. It would
seem to an unprejudiced mind that this
Spring would have been a good time to
repent, having tasted the fruits of our
evil deeds, but instead we have seen fit,
we church men and business men and
morning newspaper men, to adopt with
scarcely a protest standards that would
not be tolerated in a frontier mining
camp.
A reform would be a good thing from
any standpoint But reform preached
Here is a resolution passed unani
mously by the recent meeting of the
North Nebraska Teachers' association
which met at Fremont, April 1, 2, 3; and
was published in the State Journal and
other papers in the edition of Saturday,
April 4:
"Resolved, That we highly appreciate
the able and appropriate address of our
worthy state superintendent, Henry R.
Corbett, and his deep interest and active
participation in our meetings."
It is worthy of note that this serti
ment comes from a convention three
fourths of whose members were women,
and from the very part of the state where
the operations of the late Mrs. Xotson
were carried on and best understood.
