KANSAS might have had railroad and
other necessary legislation years ago if
there had been few such men as Titus
and Jumper in the legislature. If all
the men who were offered brides to vote
against the interests of the people of
Kansas IN years past had risen and
openly denounced the bribers how vast
ly different would the statutes of Kan
sas read from what they do now.-Kan-

LEGISLATORS have no moral
right to weigh their own in
dividual opinions against
their campaign promises and
their party platforms. They
can change their minds at
any time and as often as they
wish but they have no right
to allow their caprice to in
terfere with the discharge of
their official duty.

Many have been and are curious to
know and understand why mosquitoes
are so numerous on the Klondike. 1t
seems as though one touch of Arctic
winter would Danish them forever from
that region. But the rather it puts them
in cold storage, to be revived by the
continuous glare of a summe sunlight,
which brings into existence the most
prolific insect life on earth. It will be
remembered that the Arctic regions are
the summer resort of innumerable birds.
These are fed by a vast supply of fruit.
Each year before they can be gathered,
the snow comes and preserves millions
of acres of c%loudberries, cranberries and
crowberries. The same sun that releases
the myriad insect life the snow
storehouse for the m%ultitudinous birds
that arrive within two or three days of
the first appearance of warm weather.

The following resolutions were adopted
at the late session OF the teachers OF the
county in institute at Indianola: WHERE
AS, it has been our privilege to attend
the annual session of the Red Willow
County Teachers Institute held at In
dianola, we, the teachers III attendance,
hereby desire to express our gratitude
for all benefits received.
RESOLVED. That our thanks are due
First, To County Superintendent Carn-
ahan for the skillful manner in which he
has conducted the institute.
Second, To the instructors, whose earn
est and untiring efforts in onr behal
have broadened our minds, inspired us
with new energy and given us a better
conception of our profession.
Third, To the lecturers who have con-
tributed so largely to our pleasure and
profit.
RESOLVED, That we appreciate the
kindness and cordiality rendered us by
the citizens Of Indianola; the way in
which they have received us into their
homes and their general expression OF
good will and also to the county papers
for favors shown.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these res
olutions be published in the county pa
pers.

Delegates Meet.

The Willow Grove delegates TO the Re-
publican county convention at Indianola
tomorrow held a meeting in the city hall.
last evening. Fifteen of the thirty-ive
delegates were in attendance. The fol-
lowing precinct nominations were made:
C~onstables, James Starr and Ed Jordan;
Assessor, James Woodwork; Justices of
the Peace, c. B. Gray and H. II. Berry.
Just what authority delegates to a county
convention have to nominate a precinct
ticket, which is clearly the province of
voters of the precinct at a duly called
party caucus is not very clear n
against good party policy. Even the
nominees would appear i'll a better light
if put before the people at a regularly
and properly called caucus or primary.
An unsuccessful effort was made to
have the chairmen of the precinct dele
cations and one other cast the full vote
of the entire precinct when deemed adj
visable. This unit rule was dis
tasteful to some of the leading Republ-
cans of the delegation and the motion
was withdrawn.
By a vote of eight to seven it was de-
cided to present the name of Ed Jordan
for sheriff, although the idea was strong
ly urged that McCook should go into the
convention without any pledges or can
didates.
THE TRIBUNE urges upon the McCook
delegation and the Republican county
convention as a whole wise, judicious
and lust action tomorrow in order that
victory may perch on our banner, this
fall.

A Great Day.

A Great Day.
Wednesday was a great day for McCook
and Southwestern Nebraska. Ringing
Bros circus and menagerie made 1t so.
The circus was the greatest arenic event
ever witnessed in this section of Nebras-
ka and the multitude present to enjoy it
was unequaled for numbers and behavior.
People were here from Kansas and Colo
RADIO; three states were represented IN
the crowd that thronged the city and
citizens from at least fifteen counties
were in evidence. The Burlinton brought
in about fifteen hundred people from
neighboring towns or its special and
regular trains and thousands drove to
the city from all over this section of
country within a radius of fifty miles or
more, indeed some drove nearly one
hundred miles to enjoy the SPLENDID at
fractions of one of the earth's best and
greatest shows. McCook never contained
so large a crowd nor one better behaved.
And it is due the Ringing Bros. to state
that everybody was simply delighted
with the performance, the only regret
being the inability to see all of the feat
ures at once, so varied was the program
and SO many artists appearing In the
several rings and ON the various appa-
rati at the same time. The manage
ment stated that the afternoon attend
ance was between II 900 and 1900 and
that next to those given in Omaha and
Lincoln, the performance was the
most satisfactory given in Nebraska,
this season.
Merchants report quite a brisk trade.
The Methodist ladies made about $I35,
Wednesday.
Quite a number came over from ODER
lin on bicycles.
The paid admissions in the afternoon
amounted to 1860.
McCook was the third city in Nebras-
ka in population, Wednesday.
The elephants or heavy wagons used
up a number of wooden crossings badly.
By evening the stock of edibles in the
hotels, restaurants and stands generally
was about exhausted.
The Burlington brought about 1900 to
the circus on its various special and reg
ular trains. OF the number 244 came
down the Imperial branch, freight AS
carried 4SS, freight SO had about 2oo
The Ringing Bros. are to be congrat-
ulated upon giving a clean, entertaining
show devoid of offense and of sharpers,
fakirs, thieves and blacklegs generally
that usually accompany or follow in the
wake of shows.
Ali the merchants of the city had extra
help and a number of them had refresh
ment stands in front of their places of
business. 1t is reasonable to assume
that the volume of business was largely
increased in all branches, and especially
so in the case of the hotels, restaurants,
refreshment stands etc.

Even John Sherman is quoted as say
ing that there is no telling what a Jews
paperman will do. And to be frank it is
about as difficult to guess what John
Sherman will do next. For a diplomat
and statesman he seems to have adecided
penchant for publicity rather than an
increasing application of what has been
called 'the luxury of silence"
