there Is at least one body that regrets the
adjournment Of the legislature. That is
the State Board Of Charities and Correc-
tion. Whispers have been floating through
the air that the legislature would swoop
down on this board Of peace and good will
and send It into oblivion.
The sorrow and disappointment comes in
this wise. Beginning Thursday the state
conference OF charities and correction will
hold a two days session. Some Of the best
posted men on matters pertaining to what
the board is expected to accomplish will be
here to enlighten the people. II is said It
was the supreme wish and prayer Of at
least enc member OF the board to hold this
meeting at a time when the legislature
would be alberto attend and harken to the
wise words that will be said by the wise
ones n was the belief that when the leg
islator left the church in which the meet
ings are to be held 1t would be to go out
as missionaries to work for the passage OF
a1y ard all bills endorsed by the board
that continuance of the board was OF the
utmost Importance to the growing state OF
Nebraska. These and many more things, II
is said. were in the minds Of members OF
the board who desired this part n the
Estate government TO thrive and live and
grow in Importance as the days go by
Notwithstanding the legislators will not
be here so they can be noticed. an inter-
esting program has been prepared and will
be carried out. Among other strong men
on the program are Judge b. B. Lindsey
OF Denver and Judge L. G. Kinne OF Dea
Moines. The former will deliver an address
on Juvenile courts, upon which subject his
experience makes him an authority. Judge
Kinne will talk OH the Humane, Ehicient
and Economic Administration Of State In
stitutions"

Neople on behalf Of the city. and Governor
Mickey on behalf Of the state. commit

City superintendent R'rIEns.
Superintendent Gordon of the Bincoll
public schools has resigned, after havinl
served in that company for the last fou
years. Prof. Gordon has given excellen
satisfaction as superintendent. but hi
long life as an educator has given him
pesslmistic turn. In an interview he l
quoted as saying:
II see nothing in the public school bust
ness for the future man puts in tn
greater part OF his life at the business
and at the end he has nothing. l intende
TO get out before this time and into som
other occupation. l have not decided yc
what It will be, whether of business. ma
ture or some other branch OF school worI
have decided not TO engage i'm publ
school work longer. however. l have .sev
eral matters in view, but have as yet mad
no decision which to accept"
II is said the real reason Mr.. Gordo
resigned was because an effort is bein
made to select as members OF the new boar
men who were his personal enemies.
