Omaha daily bee., 1905-11-29

Kearney Hub: II United States Attorney
Baxter prosecutes the Grain trust as
fiercely as he did the cattle barons-but
why speculate?
Fender Republic Senator Willard should
place himself squarely in line with the
president on the question Of railroad rate
regulation IL he wants to be reelected to
the United States senate next year.
Fremont Tribune: The granting Of a d.
vorce to the wife OF former United States
Attorney Summers on the charge Of ex-
treme cruelty may furnish an intimation OF
why that formerly distinguished gentleman
remained so silent under the lashing OF
The Omaha Bee when he retired from his
public place.
Bancroft Blade: Edward Rosewater's en-
emles may keep him from ever becoming
a United States senator, but II he repre-
sented Nebraska on the interstate COM
merce committee we would not be guessing
how he would vote He would be found on
the side of the people and not advocating
conservative" railroad rate legislation.
Bancroft Blade: Why not have an extra
session Of the Nebraska legislature. There
are a great many needed changes, not
the least in the list is the liquor question
In border towns on Indian reservations
The legislature last winter refused to al
low any extra liberties to liquor dealers
and it might be possible that they would
find some way out OF the present difficulty
which has added another victim to it's
list in Thurston county the last week.
Wayne Herald: Sometime last spring the
Herald was indiscreet enough TO intimate
that Congressman Mccarthy was liable to
have opposition for the denomination next
aTIYla M FAV n-g.,
Wakefield Republican, Emerson Enter
prise Fender Republic and one or two
others affected with Mccarthy microbes
jumped onto us all spread out Wonder II
they have heard anything lately that would
tend to convince these papers that we had
some slight grounds for our assertion.
Wisner Chronicle: The World-Herald is in
sorry condition to consign anyone or any
ones advice to the waste basket, since the
people OF the state have consigned II and
its advice to the vaults in the alley by
rolling UP larger majorities for the repu5-
lican candidates for regent than for the
head of the ticket, a result never before
heard of in election returns and only to be
accounted for by the World Herald's' ri
diculous attacks on Chancellor Andrews
and the nonpartizan board OF regents.
Butler County Press: The railways are
making big mistake in coaching their en-
ployes to oppose the pr Ssident's plan OF
rate regulation. Their talk to farmers
and business men is TO the effect all these
employees, controlled by politicians. would
be a menace to liberty. As they control
their employees in the interest of politicians
now. it is pretty hard to understand that
liberty has much show as it is. 1t is
bossism that people are now rebelling
against. A few years ago the saloon
men Of this county could defeat any one
they chose to defeat. Now, when they
have a state organization, their friendship
means defeat to most any one they favor.
II IS all because people do not like to
be bossed. They like to do things because
it suits their fancy TO do them.
Hastings Tribune: Ordinarily a divorce is
OF interest, or should be. only to The
friends and acquaintances of the persons
involved but a legal separation of matri-
monial ties has just taken place in Omaha
| which is OF more than usual moment. 1t Is
of general importance, not because of its
| sensational features, but on account of the
personality of the individual against whom
the decree is issued Former United States
Attorney w. s Summers appeared volun-
| tarily in court and waived defense on all
OF the issues in the case instituted against
him by his wife, Mrs. Nellie Lane Sum-
mers, even to the custody OF their one
child boy of 16 years Nineteen years OF
welded life were ended with legal for
mality OF few moments. Mr.. Summers is
a man OF many failures, politically and So
cially. Once prominent and influential,
facing an opportunity for desirable public
| service and personal advancement, he is
| now in the ranks Of the obscure, notablL
| only for the things Of his past
Springfield Monitor: There is no question

tuition to take the place OF the one adopted
