istration and am willing to abide
by the judgment of the people
when they have had opportunity
to weigh the facts.
In this connection it should be
borne in mind that our oil inspec-
ton law provides test for i'm
flammability only, and not for
quality. In other words, our law
provides for perfectly safe oil but
does not necessarily provide for
oil free from solids and such other
imperfections as would detract
from its Illuminating qualities.
Poor burning oil does not neces-
sarily mean unsafe oil. It is not
my fault that the law provides
for test of inflammability only
and not for quality as we'll. do
not make the laws. 1t is simply
my duty to execute them as find
them. The Hays circular seeks
to hold me responsible for omiss-
ions of the law in the matter of a
quality test.

To Make Local option More Optional by
Giving Residents Of Entire County
Voice In Elections.

To make the "local option"
plan more optional, the Nebraska
Anti-Saloon league, has drafted
a bill which it will have intro
duced at the session of the legis-
lature this winter. This will
apply to those counties where
the villages have been fighting
with the liquor problem. Under
the theory that the residents of
the entire county are effected by
the existence of the saloon in the
village as much as those inside
the corporate limits, the advocate
has drawn up the bill to give
such county residents the powers
of the ballot on the vote for or
against licensed liquor selling.
Said Mr.. Darnall:
1.-THE new law will not inter-
fere in the least with the opera
ton of the Slocumb law, nor does
it affect the local option law fur
Their than to supplement it. l
have the bill drawn up and it
will be introduced at the next
session of the Legislature. When
the question is once referred to
the people, the law also stipulates
that another submission to popu-
lar vote shall not be made inside
of four years. This stipulation
is made so that the liquor ele-
ment will not be nagging the
temperance people all the time,
after once being turned down.
Petitions signed by one-tenth of
the residents of the county must
be secured before the question
can be submitted, under the pro-
posed law"
Mr.. Darnall has just returned
from a trip to the western part
of the state in the interest of the
league.

The Nebraska Farmer has the
following to say of DR.. Brenizer's
cattle at the state fair:
DR.. J. G. Brenizer, Broken Bow,
Neb., got 3rd premium on his 2
year-old heifer, Orange Blossom
of Hebron, in a strong class at
the State Fair last week. This
heifer had not been specially fit
ed for the show, but was shown
in her every day dress; otherwise
she would have gone higher.
However, she is splendid young
COW and is a credit to any herd,
and next year you may expect to
see her out again, as we'll as some
other good ones that are coming
on up at the Brenizer Shorthorn
ranch.

Why did Mr.. Hays seek to put
a club in the hands of Mr.. Ruth?
The conversation above referr-
ed to was overheard and can be
verified by witness.
When Mr.. Hays relinquished
the office of chief oil inspector
he was short in his accounts.
At my instigation my chief clerk
overhauled the accounts of his
Office and found that Hays was
short to the amount of $124.90.
Further than that, he (Hays)
had taken away from the Office
every receipt from the state
treasurer taken by him during
his administration. When APP
preached on the subject he pro-
fessed ignorance and could give
no good reason for taking the re-
ceipts away from the office but
was compelled to admit the short
age. The money in question
dropped out of sight, so far as
the exchequer of the state is con-
cerned, between July 31st and
September 3Oth, 1902. When
Mr.. Hays saw that he was up
against it he settled his shortage,
and was very glad to get out of
it so easily, by giving to the
State Treasurer his personal
check for $124.SO, as is evidenced
by a receipt now on file in the
Office of the chief oil inspector, of
which the following is copy:
Lincoln, Nebr., May Is, 1908.
No. 30409.
Received of James E. Hays,
Ex-Oil Inspector, one hundred
twenty-four and $4,000 dollars.
Peter Mortensen,
State Treasurer.
TO say the least, the State of
Nebraska was benefited by a
change of chief oil inspector to
the extent of $124.SO, which
money was illegally retained by
Mr.. Hays.
The foundation of all the state
ments made in this article is my
own personal observation, the re.
cords of the state Offices involved
and the evidence of witnesses
knowing to the facts. In conclu-
sion | assert that the differences
and conclusions drawn in Mr..
Hays Goal Oil Scandal circular
are false and misleading in every
particular.

initiative of the local commander with

as an attack it can only be favorably

since the battle of Shakhe. Poutiloff

Of the entire line, could be seen flash
