GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Nov 8.-(Spe-
cial )-Floyd Bruner, the 12-yeaF-old boy
who has been the central figure in the al
legged kidnapping case. was returned to the
arms Of his mother last night. at late
hour, by Editor Brown of the Omaha OBJ
server. an acquaintance and friend OF the
family who had traced the lad to Balti-
more. The meeting was an affectionate
one and apparently as much source
OF happiness to the boy as to the mother.
And. with the return OF the boy, and upon
the advice Of Mr.. Brown. no further action
will be taken IN the matter. Sheriff Dun
KEEL had not yet left for Baltimore. Upon
hearing the boys story II has been decided
that Winakur had no criminal Intention
meant only we'll for the boy though acting
ni-advisedly, and he viii not be prosecuted.
for him here to join him at York Winakur
had been at the hotel where the boy was
stopping. His mother, It appears. had
found occasion to punish the boy for some
offense. II was deemed by others as un-
necessary punishment. Others encouraged
Winakur. The boy himself left this city
OF his own volltlon and alone. He met
Winakur at York. Winakur took him 10
Baltimore, where he secured for him DO
sition at light work in factory and made
arrangements TO send him 20 a night school.
It seemed to be Winakur's plan TO make
thes best OF the opportunities for the boy
and that he believed this would be better
than his surroundings at the hotel In this
city. In view OF these facts. there being
no evidence whatever that Winakur had
evil intentions. the case will be dropped.
Mrs. Bruner will keep her boy with her
at the hotel until in January. when she Will
send him 10 the Boys Military academy at
Kearney, an Eplscopalian institution, where
he will receive good training and at the
same time be near at home.

WILLARD SILENT ON RACE
He Nay Be in Nebraska When Lsgis-
lature Elects Senator
He SPEAKS NOT OF HIS CANDIDACY
Expects short Session of Congress,
60 which He and Congress-
man Kennedy GO This
Week.

Asked n he would be back to attend the
legislature when IL elected United States
senator this winter, Senator Milard who
leaves Thursday for Washington, where
congress conyenes December 3, said
Il can't tell as TO that l intend to come
home for the Christmas holidays, about
two weeks, and may be here during that
period"
The senator had nothing to say OF his
candidacy. He said upon his return last
spring that his future was in the hands of
the legislature and has said nothing since
publicly to counterfeit that statement.
The senator says he does not anticipate
much new legislation this term and es-
pecially before Christmas. He thinks the
session will be a short one.
THE probabilities are little work will be
done at this session outside of passing the
appropriation BILL" said Senator Willard
'''There are times, however, when It takes
quite a considerable period to attend to
those affairs and this may be one of them.
THE president has just returned from
Panama and he probably will present a
special message on conditions as he found
them there. A recess will be taken for
Christmas, December q until January g.,
and as a rule little is done except to get
started In December.

tary Taft outlined the way the contracts

II have no idea anything will be done to
change the rate bill at this session. as the
consensus of opinion seems to be that 1t
should be given a thorough trial before II
is tempered with again. The commission
has been given great power and 1t will be
given an opportunity to show what It will
do with that power. i don't anticipate any
new 1egisia ton, but with a president as ac-

ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT
BATTLE

Monday was the ninety-frst ami
versary of the battle OF New Orleans
it being fought on the eighth OF
January, 1915. This was one OF the
most remarkable battles in our his
tory. Jackson had 1000 raw mi
litia and Packenham 10000 regu-
lars. Besides the Americans were
poorly equipped, while the British
were well armed and well differed.
Paekenham expected to surprise
jackson and carry his position with
but little trouble, but when he adj
vanced found Jackson was behind
breastworks of cotton bales. The
battle lasted but short time. In
twenty-five minutes 1000 British
were killed or wounded, while Jack
son lost seven killed and six wound
ed. The victory was complete, and
gained after peace had been declared
between the two countries.

PUBLICITY AT WASHINGTON

Newspaper men in Washington are
indignant at the restrictions placed
upon them by President Roosevelt
concerning official news at the White
House. The now famous Cabinet
order was the first step taken by the
President looking to the hedging in
of the news by the Chief Executive.
Widespread criticism caused 1t
in degree to be modified, but close
on its heels have followed other incl
dents Just as annoying to members
of the press. For instance, the Presl-
dent is reliably reported to have
summoned one correspondent and
severely censured him for an article
which appeared in his paper. The
correspondent resented Mr.. Roose-
yelt's lecture and his resentment was
backed mp by the correspondents OF
every newspaper in Washington.
The entire subject is one OF peculiar
interest to the people OF this coun-
try. Ever since the time OF George
Washington the people have looked
to the press for information concern
ing their public affairs, and only
through the medium of the press Is It
possible to disseminate the news
from Washington. At this time,
when everyone, and even the Presi-
dent himself, is demanding publicity
as a means of curing some OF the
evils with which the country has had
to contend-such, for instance, as IN
surance scandals and trust oppres-
siou-suppressing the news comes
with poor grace from the very man
who above all others should desire
publicity. Mr.. Roosevelt should
realize that the White House is the
official home OF the President and
from there should be sent widespread
Throughout this country every parti-
Gle of news which in any way affects !
the welfare of the people. This gov
eminent cannot demand publicity OF
private individuals and private cor
porations and itself transact public
affairs in the darkness.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

Governor Montague's message to
the General Assembly of Virginia is
an able one. Its main feature.
breathed in every sentence, is pro
gressiveness. Forward, ever Tor
ward, is the slogan OF today, recog-
nized and appreciated by the Cover
nor in his last message. Heurges APP
preparations for various purposes,
but he advises against eXtrava-
gance. First. he suggests a liberal
appropriation for the interior i'm
provement and decoration of the
Clpitol, and every Nirginian, who
takes pride in the historic old build
ing Just remodeled, will concur. lie
advises, as was expected, an increase
OF 5000, 900 in the expenditure for
schools, and also urges what we
deem all important, viz: compul-
sory education. On the road ques-
ton the Governor recommends that
that the State aid the counties IN
proportion to the amount the coun-
tie themselves raise for this pur-
pose and urges that the amount
set aside be not less than 100000.
The Governor protests against any
reduction in our already low
tax rate. He calls for some remedy
against corruption in politics and a
stringent law against corporation
contributions to campaign funds.
Prohibit, advises the Governor, any
person from paying anothers poll
I TX and pass law permanently dis
fran, hising the man who sells his
vote. He calls for a legalized PR
mary. The message deserves ana
will no doubt receive, theearnest con
alteration of the Legislature.
