that parents, for the proper protection
of. their children, are forced to pass it
directly from the carrier's hands to the
stove, it would seem that a press censor
would not be superfluous. One of the
evening papers in this city would keep
him busy.
In Omaha it waa not only possible
to secure the conviction of Bolln and
the imposition of a sentence of nineteen
years' imprisonment, but official zeal
sought out men charged with tamper
ing with the jury In the first trial of the
case, and caused their arrest. The peo
ple of a state who have grown accus
tomed to seeing criminals of the Bolln
stripe given their liberty and an offi
cial vindication, must regard with a
mingled feeling of wonder and amaze
ment the accelerated movement of jus
tice in Omaha. The sentence was just
and right.
It is worthy of note that the man
who consigned Bolln to nineteen years'
imprisonment was the same man who
was successful as United States dis
trict attorney in getting C. W. Mosher
off with a sentence of Ave years. Mash
er's reputed stealings amount to $1,000,
000, while Bolln's shortage was $112,000.
Red Ben Baker has apparently ob

did in a several years' term of dally

Al Falrbrother has suddenly reap
peared on the scene and is contributing
to the general political unpleasantness
that obtains in this state. Colonel Fair
brother is a man of varied and peculiar
talents, and the possession of these tal
ents has discouraged any Idea the
colonel may have had of retaining a
residence In any one place for a con
siderable length of time. Since he left
Nebraska he has set up his Lares and
Penates and printing press in many
an unfamiliar place, only to And, after
a short space, that circumstances, like
the poifceman said, "Move On." He
has blazed a trail from Lincoln to Dur
ham, N. C. and from Durham through
Pennsylvania and New York, and life
with him has been, if not a continual
round of pleasure, at least a continual
round or excitement. Colonel Fair
brother could settle on an uninhabited
isle and In three days have the entire
population by the ears. He could sell
extra editions in the Desert of Sahara.
He has a sensational hat and sensa
tional hair and he wields a sensational
pen.
Now he Is back on the old stamping
ground writing breezy letters about
the "Joes" and "Jacks" of Nebraska
politics for the weekly papers. Not
many years ago there flourished an am
bitious journalistic school in this state.
O. H. Rothacker and Fred Nye were Its
shining lights. Walt Mason and Al.
Falrbrother scintillated around the
greater orbs. Those were great days.
The Omaha Republican, Omaha World,
State Journal and the Lincoln Call used
to flash and sputter with brilliance.
Erratic geniuses they were most of
them but they used to write things
that it was a pleasure to read. In the
past five years our newspapers have be

prosperous. Certainly they have Im
