the present regime tramps are few.
The hold-ups that were so frequent
few years ago have altogether ceased.
Why? Lincoln is known through The

The speeches in which the nine

al of seven men from the room was
one of the most dramatic events in
Nebraska legislative history. The
sturdiness and loyalty to principle of
the seven, and the ratification If their
conduct by Messrs. Mendenhal and
Sandal deser yes an honorable place
in our annals. 1t is thus that heroic
traditions of few citizens who saved a
beleagured city or brought water and
ammunition to an almost conquered
army, are kept alive and re-enscted
for the emulation of youth and of
future lawmakers. 1t is not the
many who are inspired to heroism
but one man or two. seven or nine,
are inspired to noble and constant
intrepidity. There is no board or Sec
rotary of war to recognize and reward
their unseltish services to their
country. but in this case all Nebraska
not only points with pride to these
men, but bushes with pleasure at her
discrimination in selecting such men
to represent her.
The Saloon Keepers Secret.
1t has been demonstrated in Kan
sas that a woman with Ratchet de-
termined to smash saloons can not be
punished, because the saloons exist
contrary to the law through the con J..
nivance of officials who are willing to
break their oath to enforce the laws,
influenced thereto by hope Of political
support or by the dollars of the saloon
keepers. Twenty five hundred people
in Topeka held meeting after Mrs.
Nation had shown them the innOcu.

it was the duty of every real prohi.
bitionist to initiate Mrs. Nation.
There is no doubt that the saloon
keepers are very much embarrassed
by the demonstration that any passer-
by can smash their windows. mirrors
aud bottles with legal impunity.
Men who attempt to smash saloon
are likely to be hit with fists. clubs or
bullets, but the injured can always
get the damages assessed against
those who make unprovoked assaults
