express their will upon every public
question and upon the choosing of
every public officer, do not appeal to
them. They are busy considering how
they can stay in office i'll spite of the
wish of the people. The Judiciary has
long been regarded as singularly free
from partisan politics, which, as is
universally conceded, it ought to be.
But here in this latter day we have
the spectacle of a judge of the SUI
preme court of this great state jug
Cling with the boundaries of judicial
districts after the msnner of the most
commercial politician. Such conduct
in such an official ought to be, and
believe will be, rebuked at the polls.
Judge Carriers connections with the
recent gerrymander is too intimate
and too obvious for him to escape full
responsibility for it.-Charles G. Gar
nett.
The recent apportionment act of
the general assembly of this state
changing this judicial district, l re-
gard as extremely unjust and UNI
American. 1t is an act that gives to
| the voters of Il part of the district q
right to cast their ballots for two
supreme Judges and as to another
part of the district, DISTINGUISHES
them of their vote upon a supreme
| Judge. While l recognize the fact that
the supreme court of this state has
held the law constitutional, and | fee
that such decision should be deemed
| to be the law of the state, yet this
does not make the principle involved
right. There are some things that
may be done legally, and yet be morally
unjust. This is one of those things
and should be resented at the polls
next Monday. l had always supposed
that the court was free from politics
until the passage of this act by the
general assembly, but am forced tC
the conclusion that such is not the
case at the present time.-William IL
HartZell.

It only takes a comparison of the
old district with the new, to conclu-
siveIy establish that the reapportion-
ment was made for private personal
and purely political purposes. The SUI
preme court should be kept as free
from partisanship as possible. As a
rule the party lines are not drawn as
closely in judicial as in other cleo
tions. The fixing of the election in
June when the heat of the political
conflict had died down, was for the
purpose of divorcing the voters from
the partisan spirit, enabling them to
vote for the best man. If this pro-
vision is wise, it follows that any par
tisan effort through the Legislature
to disfranchise any part of the dis
trict, in order that machine methods
and men may succeed should be re-
buked effectually. The election OF
Judge Scott win forever stand as a
monument to the fact that the people
do not want paftisanship to triumph
in judicial elections, either when il
comes out in the open, or when in
cover of darkness in legislative halls
it seeks to make Judge Carriers cleo
ton certain. The question of the vo
ter who wants fairness to prevail is
shall Judge Carter profit by his gerry
mander.7John w. Williams.

Judge Carter was elected nine years
ago on the argument of a nonpartisan
judiciary. Now a republican legisla-
fure has sought to maintain him in
his position byaan extremely partisan
and most unjust gerrymander. For
this the republican party should be re-
buked at the polls by all true demo-
Gratis. I know G. c. Scott, the demo-
cratic candidate to be an able law

A MANS IDEAL WOMAN.

The ideal woman Is, perhaps, an
overworked theme, but recent vig-
orous delineation OF her by Frankfort
Moore in Book Of Beauty" is in
teresting not only as goth century
view. point. but as showing how wo-
Isa Ia seeking d sphere o. action .srs
CT than that bounded by the kitchen
on one side and the store cupboard on
the other. has not abused mans trust
In her. and that she still rules as roy
ally In her kingdom of hearts today rs
in the 18th century when she never
criticized the other sex, nor claimed
equality with them, but cheerfully ac-
quiesoed in the theory Of feminine in j.
feriority." She is thus summed mp
by man Of today in n clever touch
and go sort Of = way that shows he
quite realizes her little idiosynorasies
and Is amused thereby:
1.-The ideal woman is a woman
without an ideal She is easy to live
with. She is worth living for.' She
Is worth dying for. She is the high
light in the charcoal drawing Of hu-
manity-man being the charcoal. She
is the skylight in the edlhce of the
human life. Sc has no history. She
has no.story. She is the rhythm which
transforms the prose of life into poe
try. She wears q reasonable hat at
matinees. She is too clever to talk on
woman's rights; she takes them. She
wears frocks that match her hair; she
does not dye her hair to match her
frocks. She is not such fool
as to fancy that anyone is ever con-
WINGED by argument. She does not
reason. She loves. She believes that
the first woman was a hieroglyphic
inscription, and that every woman is
bat squeeze Of Eve. She knows
that the key to the inscription is love. "

Organize a New Club at Lincoln.

The Lincoln club is the name of a new
railway mems organization which re-
Gently held its first meeting at the Office
of Mr.. Scott, local freight agent for the
Burlington. There were in attendance
at the meeting a number of men inter
ested in the traffic and operating depart
ments of the Burlington. The first meet
ing showed that the interests of the
traffic men and the operating depart
ment people oftimes clashed more or less
and that a club where an understanding
of the difficulties confronting both de-
partments may be had will be of benefit
to all.
The subject discussed at the first meet
ing that attracted the greatest interest
was tonnage" In this the operating
department isinterested in handling long
trains as cheaply as possible, while the
traffic departments are most interest
ed in prompt service and trains that
run on time. The discussion of pro-
blems relating to this subject brought
out many statements from the traffic
officials that the operating departments
were looking for and had prepared to
answer, while the operating men showed
the traffic men the economy due to haul
ing long trains and making slower time
with their freights. On this line it was
suggested that business is oftentimes
lost to the company by such moves for
economy and that "weak" lines get
traffic simply by offering shorter trains
that can and do make better time.
The club men will hold occasional
meetings at which subjects relating to
railroad management and traffic getting
will be taken up. The idea is to improve
the service of the road, at the same time
making it possible for the operating de-
partments to carry out their ideas of
of economy without hurting the bust
ness getting end.
G. W. Rhodes, assistant superintend-
ent in charge of the motive power de-
partment, was in the chair during the
meeting. Mr.. Rhodes has been the
champion of railway mems clubs at
which business matters relating to the
management of the road are discussed
since he came to Lincoln, and his ideas
have attracted the interest of many men
employed by the Burlington.-Lincoln
Journal.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1903-05-22
Demands Not Yet Granted.

The Burlington and its trainmen have
not yet got together on the wage scale,
but trainmen are hopeful that all differ
ences will be settled soon. The train
men will have a meeting with the off
Gals of the company in Chicago on June
6, at which time some definite action is
looked for. 1t was thought that the set
Element with the trainmen on the Great
Northern would effect the settlement
with the men on the Burlington, and
that something like what the Great
Northern men secured would be tender
ed the employees of this read. 1t is said
that the provisions agreed upon in rela-
ton to double headers by the Great
Northern and it's trainmen would meet
the approval of the Burlington men.
"The engine builders may solve this
double header question for us some day."
said a Lincoln trainman yesterday.
''They are building engines now that
will pull a train so long that it is difficult
for a conductor to signal the engineer or
for the engineer to see the flags of the
caboose. Then the problem will come
up under another name and the sugges-
ton of a tonnage basis made by the
Great Northern employees will receive
attention.-Lincoln Journal.
