Secretary Blish and the appointment
OF Mr.. Hitchcock, it was evident that
there were serious differences between
Davis and his chief" Then the
former said he required a vacation,
and. enjoying all the honors and pres

vice presidential boom for himself as
the coming Missourian' and the
Presidents personal favOrite. The
President objected to the false posi-
tion Mr.. Davis thrust upon him, and
let it be known that he was rigidly
opposed to the election Of any federal
Office holder as delegate to the con.
vention. This rebuff and the failure
of his conspiracy to worm himself
into another's place. are more obvious
reasons for Mr.. Davis withdrawal
from the party which has fed him too
long.

A Scandal.

A Scandal.
1t was not Mrs. Cohen of Utah who
did a cake-walk at the Kansas City
convention. Mrs. Cohen behaved very
we'll. Some emotional woman imper.
sonated Mrs. Cohen and every club
woman who read Of her performance
in the next mornings papers, were
shocked. They were willing to giveup
for the moment the principle no taxa
tion without representation. But
it was all a mistake. The woman who
danced and sang with disheveled
locks was a fanatic who had wander
ed in from the street. She was not a
delegate and the morals which have
been drawn from her conduct do not
apply. Visitors to the convention
report that Mrs, Cohen was as modest
and shrinking as Mr.. David B. Hill
himself. 1t is a relief to know that
politics alone cannot make a woman
forget gentle birth and breeding and
the proprieties Of life and it has been
completely demonstrated by Compel
ent witnesses that Mrs. Cohen's con-
duct was unexceptionable.

Whose Business Is Il?

With the democratic presidential
candidate, a resident Of Lincoln. it is
likely that the state house grounds
will be the place for many open air
addresses before the summer is over.
With the present carelessness in
regard to public property that exists
at the state house some of the fine
trees which have been planted by
previous servants of the people will
be entirely destroyed The two large
evergreen trees Of twenty or thirty
years growth next the band stand
were filled on Tuesday night with
large boys who hacked and tore the
branches in order to secure COM
Portable seats. Not one OF the mob of
janitors who are employed at the
state house cared whether the trees
we're destroyed or not and apparently

Reserve.

Lincoln people do not howl them
selves hOarse when the city is honor
ed by visit from distinguished
democrats, not because they do not
appreciate the honor, but because we
are a unconventional people.
Army officers taking their CON-
mands from one coast to another in
the late war. complained that when
they reached Nebraska, although the
people surrounded the station there
was little cheering and that of a halt
hearted sort. When great musicians.
actors or actresses visit Nebraska they
complain that their fame and their
genius are wasted on bucolic, stolid
people, unwilling to confess that the
music or the acting has moved them.
l think We are sophisticated people.
Some Of us have been to Chicago, a
few to New York. and very few to
Europe. But We are unappreciative.
Like the rustic who visits ! city for
the first time, we have steeled our
selves against surprises and the dis.
play of any emotion whatever.
1t is therefore not because the in.N
habitants are mostly republican fell
low townsmen of the democratic vice
presidential candidate that his disting-
uishea visitors excite only an agricul-
tural stare, but because, take us for
all in all, We are cold-blooded and I'M
generous.
Patriotism, heroism, self-Sacrifice,
are as spectacles. They do not affect
us. The one man to whom Nebras-
kans are more indebted than to any
other, who gave up his reputation and
then his life that Nebraska troops
might be prepared to fight a worthy
fight and then to fight it, has not re.
ceived any adequate recognition.
The attempt to secure the surplus
remaining from the amount subscrib.
ed to the celebration Of the First Ne.
braska for the Stotsenburg fund
was partially foiled by the de-
determination to divert these funds
to the uses OF the state fair. When

Competition.

The common people who never talk
about the common people, who never
pose as willing to be butchered for
moro liberty to Others and more jus
tice are hoping that the council will
grant a franchise to the second tele-
phone company which has asked for
it. The establishment OF another
company here means an immediate,
fifty per cent reduction of rentals
which in the aggregate is a saving Of
over thirty thousand dollars year to
the citizens. most Of whom are the
great common people referred to.
The suspicion is gathering strength
that the telephone company already
here are making extraordinary exer-
tions and using all their influence to
keep the new company out. The
former has charged exorbita ut rentals
for so long that it is alarmed at the
prospect of competitor and anxious
to use what influence and power the
company has to keep out competition.
I hope the council can make it clear
that the company which has erected
its poles on our streets and charged

lounging about in Enthusiastically
indolent fashion. He replied that it
was none of his business. Mr.. Nc
Intee at the state house when inform.
ed Of the damage already done to
these beautiful trees, was equally in
different and impudently replied to a
plea for future protection, with an
intimation that the state house
grounds arc no republicans affairs.
In his speech on Tuesday evening
on the Capitol grounds. Mr.. Bryan
said:
"There is a privilege in being an
American citizen, and there is re-
sponsibility commensurate with the
privilege. III We lived in a land where
a king thought for us we would feel
no responsibility for the action of
that king. But we live in land
where the people determine the poll
cy. We live 10 land where the citi-
zen impresses his own opinion upon
the government, where the policy of
the government may be determined
by one vote"
1t is said that Mr.. Bryan has large
influence with the state house officials
Consequently, he might be able to
teach them that man once elected
to Office is attending TO the duties Of
that Office for the whole people and
not exclusively for those who voted
for him. All the citizens have an
interest in the preservation Of the
Capitol and the trees which have
required so long to grow and so
much cultivation. Republicans still
pay taxes. But when they venture to
call official attention to the vandalism
such as that perpetrated by Com
mandant Fowler at the Milford Home
or in the case just referred to, there
seems to be NO privilege in being an
American citiZsn. We are reminded
that We have no responsibility COM
mensurate with the privilege, that We
do not live in land where the peo-
pie determine the policy. nor wEere
the citizen impresses his own opinion
upon the government. The people of
this community would take it very
kindly if Mr.. Bryan would occasional
ly say some OF these things to those
custodians of the states property who
regard their surroundings as inaliena.
BILE conveniences to Use for their own
irrespective of the time and
taxes they have cost.

ing the hare. There is no historical
instance Of food animal becoming a
pest. The timid, frightened little
things that write editorials on the
daily papers about the probabilities Of
a hare pest 10 this country might as
well be shocked By the amount Of
food consumed by, and the rate Of in
crease Of sheep or cattle or hogs. All
food animals are fond OF grain and
grass. but they transmute them into
more valuable food product.
The Belgian hare has provided the
millions Of German, French and Eng
lish peasants with an occasional meal
of meat. The flesh Of the hare is ten
der and very nutritious. His bones
cook up into soup and it is said by
those who have experimental with
broths for the sick, that hare soup is
especially easy of digestion. Since
the hare has been accepted as a staple
meat we might as well be alarmed
over the large coveys of a prairie
chicken or of the quail. Both haunt
the grain fields and eat quantities of
grain, but it is a rare farmer who will
allow pot hunters on his farm.
