The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-02-10
From a Republican Standpoint

The republican central committee
met in Lincoln this week to make ar
rangements for the meeting OF the
republican state convention on the
Second OF MAY. The situation is a
Serious one. There is but one course
for the republican party 10 pursue
and every conscientious and disln-
terested republican knows it. First
as to the kind Of man who should re-
ceiye nomination for governor. He
should be a man Of spOtless reputa-
tion. and a man who has not been a
failure in his own business Second
lv mans desire for the office can not
h, considered at all. The state
convention should select man who
can carry this state against the pOpu-
lists. whose repeatedly demonstrat-
ed strength indicates that only the
strongest and the most irreproacha-
HE republican candidate has any
chance of election. Thirdly, as Ne
braska is an agricultural state. a
farmer. should receive the nOmina-
tion. A critical and Cnprejudiced
view of the situation will suggest to
anv discriminating politician that
only a farmer can secure majority
Of the votes for governor. Lastly.
the nominee must be a republican
without, not merely the stain OF here
sv but without the suspicion of here
sy. The republicans in the Novem
her election will need all the republi.
can votes there are in the state. To
secure them the state convention will
have to exhibit a fastidiOusness, it

THE COURIER.

Of November 10. 1875. in the little "white
school house" northeast corner Eleventh
and Q streets, and was attended by
about forty persons. / have forgotten
who was called to the chair. but i know
that E. j. Cartilage acted as clerk, and
l have now his pencil notes OF the meet
ing made at the time.
The room was fitted with small! decks
and little chairs for primary pupils, and
q few tallow candies gave dim light for
the hour; 80 we accommodated our
selves, sitting OF standing. as best we
could, but the matter was made the
subject Of lively and interesting discus
sion. The result was that it was de-
cided 10 hold another meeting in the
Academy Of Music. The meeting was
held there on the evening Of Wednes-
day, December 8:h, and a report OF it
appeared in the Journal of the 9th,
copy OF which, with others-of Decsm-
Der 10th. December 18th, 1875. and jan
uary q. 1851 shall mail to you.
Another enthusiastic meeting was held
there the next Saturday evening, De-
cember 1lth, and still another at later
date, but the Journal containing q re-
port of it fail to find.
At this latt,r meeting an organization
was completed. officers were chosen. a
constitution was adopted and plans were
laid and committees appointed for OBJ
tanning books. periodicals, papers, ETC.,
and securing rooms.
1t will be Of personal interest to you
to know of the active part taken by Mr..
Harwocd, and that he was the first pres.
ident Of the Library association, and, as
/ know, gave much time and attention
to it's establishment and maintenance.
A Lecture association which had.
during two wintere, provided course
of lectures, from which they had hoped
to realize some profit, with which they
might purchase few books for small
reading room, which the ladies had
start.d on Eleventh street, had failed,
and SO they joined heartily in the new
enterprise /; and the ladies who had
struggled hard but failed to secure pa
pers and periodicals sufficient to main
tain their little reading room. gave their
small stock OF chairs and tables to the
new one.
Mrs. Ada Van Pelt (now living at
Oakland, California; was the first libra
rian. Rooms were secured over McCon-
ners store on o street. Mrs. Van Pelt
took lodgings on the same floor and de
voted her time and attention most assid-
uously to the interests Of the associ-
alton at twenty 1--WE dollars per month.
Mr.. Franklin, big, stout man, took
her in his buggy and drove about to the
residence Of citizens, stopping here and
there, while she got out and, on crutch, s,
went in TO solicit books and subscrip-
tions.
About four hundred volumes were
secured; Mr.. Walton loaned his father
library of about two hundred and fifty
volumes, largely theological books-for
he was clergymsn-andh having occasion
to visit Boston about that time. i OBJ
tanned from friends here about two hun
dred volumes and q collection OF about
twenty-five fine large photos, which,
until the recent fire, graced the walls
O. the rooms.
The library was started, as you will
understand, by an association Of citizens.
There were nine life members at twen-
five dollars each, and annual members

For only nine per cent OK the chil-
dren who enter the lower grades are
graduated from the high school. Ii
the other ninety per cent leave the
schools withouG having learned the
rule, OF the medium Of cOmmuai-
cation between themselves and the
inhabitants Of this part OF the world,
there will be yet more confusion In
the transaction of business and in
the messages delivered and received.
When in doubt about the wording OF
a letter to the woman he loves, and
miles away from a grammar the SOL
dier. the plainsman, the miner, the
sailor, graduated from the Lincoln
grades will hereafter have no prin-
ciples imbedded or stored for use at
need. Ambiguity, the stumbling
block of the illiterate, may obscure
the meaning of the message this un-
fortunate product OF our system
wishes TO send. Or the woman he
writes to, being perhaps educated
elsewhere, may have learned a re-
spect for the English language and
be therefore unwilling to unite her
self for life to one who cont nually
breaks its laws. This ninety one per
cent is entitled to the best teachers
and the cream Of available knowl-
edge. Their fathers support the
schools. This is a case where the
majority should rule. but on the con-
trary, for the small minority which
attends the high school the grades
have always been sacrificed. A few
students of the principles OF a re-
puplic have begun to object to the
sacrifice. Their protests may be sue
cessful enough in time to warrant
the placing of the best teachers with
the highest salaries in the grades.
When that time arrives the little
pupils may be taught English I'M
defiled by a teacher who has been
inspired by the glOries OF literature
and who is able to communicate her
enthusiasm to hundreds Of children
whose understanding will thereafter
respond to the masters of literature.
Such teachers are very rare, unfor-
tunately for all of us who have been
to school or must still go. There IS
no examination which can detect
them, but when found they should
be noted and placed where they can
do the most good.

Washington, May 225.The indus

states should provide that laborers be

the practice of Indirectly enforcing a
contract for personal services by en-
Joining employees from quitting work
should be discouraged. The import

MARIA ON THE ROAD.

MARIA HICKS, THE WINDOW
N SAIASHER, ON THE ROAD WITH
4 HER BABY SHIPPED TO MOOR
5s HEAD BY THE SOUTH DAKOTA
AUTHORITIES. :5 6.5. ri
Moorhead, May %. Maria Hicks is
in town. To the average owner of a,
large plate glass window this infor-
nation lis liable to send the cold shiv-
ers running up and down his back.
To own a big plate of glass in the same
town wherein the famous window
smasher' is sojourning is almost akin
to smoking a cigar in. a powder maga-
zine, but to reassure the merchants of
Moorhead, Chief of Police Fullers de-
sires the statement made that Maria
is not on the war path. She drifted
into town yesterday morning with
suckling babe in her arms and the first
place she went was the police station
where she announced her identity and
the fact that she was in need of a place
for shelter and sustenance. Chief
Fuller took her in charge and sent her
to the Moorhead house where she and
her child will be cared for until some
other disposition can be made Of her.
That the woman is a problem hard to
solve, and especially so since she is
encountered with an infant, the police
admit, but by careful. handling Chief
Fuller expects to get her out of town
and into some place where she. will
be taken care of for d short time at
least without any Of the big crystal
fronts coming to grief. The coming
of the baby seems to have reformed
Maria s desire to wreck everything in
the way Of window glass over 6x9 size,
and it is said she has become quite
actable. She was shipped here by
the South Dakota authorities,
