IN HONOR BOUND.

No matter what double-meanlng
resolutions or confusing pronuncia-
mentos they may have been inveigled
into making, the republican legislative
candidates in Douglas county-and for
that matter in all counties-are in
honor bound when elected to vote for
Norris Brown for United States SEN
ator. BY virtue of being the choice
of the republicans Of Nebraska repre-
sented In state convention, Norris
Brown as the party nominee has the
same claim upon their support that
they have upon the votes of other re-
publicans upon whose ballots their
own election or defeat at the polls will
depend Every time the party lever
is pulled down on the voting machine
or a cross placed in a top circle
for a straight republican ticket it will
record a preference for Norris Brown
as the regularly nominated republican
candidate for United States senator
just the same as for the republican
candidates for legislative places. Every
such vote will also constitute an in
struction upon the legislative candi-
dates TO see to 1t that this expressed
preference is given vitality and force in
the joint session in which the commits
sion to represent Nebraska in the
United States senate for six years will
be issued next winter.
1t is not to be doubted that the
people of Douglas county would like
to retain the senatorship nor that they
can present many good reasons to
Justify and support such demand
This question, however, was settled in
political parties, one of which pledged
its following to Norris Brown of Kear-
ney and the other to W. II. Thompson
of Grand Island. To contend now that
these conventions, in which Douglas
county took active part, had no right
to express themselves on the senator
ship or to bind legislative candidates
to their choice is too much like plead
ing the DdDy act. HAD douglas
county man been the nominee for SEN
ator, our people would have expected
legislative members of the same party
allegiance all over the state to abide
by that selection and would not have
been slow to characterize truly any
manifested disposition to refuse recog-
milton to the successful convention
nominee because he came from Doug
las county or upon any similar pre-
tense.
1t is a poor rule that does not work
both ways. Every candidate who al
lowed his name to be voted for in the
state convention for United States SEN
ator is in honor bound to yield the
field to the winner, If his victory was
fairly won, and every legislative can
didate who accepts place on the same
ticket is in honor bound to see him
through. We believe every republican
legislative candidate in Douglas county
will take this view of his party obliga-
ton before the time arrives to vote for
United States senator.

A Cheerful Taker,
Philadelphia Record

Mr. Rockefeller bemoans his inability to
so distribute his riches to persons solicitcus
or his charity as TO be sure that he will
not do more harm than good. As a conse-
quence he has turned over the bulk of his
almsgiving to a syndicate, reserving to
himself the pleasure of left-handed and
unasked-for benevolence. But it may be
doubted whether Mr.. Rockefeller has
thrown his soul into the task of distributing
his wealth as he did into the task of gather
Ing it in. As cheerful giver he has ac-
quired some deserved reputation, but as a
cheerful taker he is simply magnificent.

FACTS OF PUBLIC INDEBTEDNESS.

FACTS OF PUBLIC INDEBTEDNESS.
The compilation of public indebted
ness by the census bureau shows a re-
markable decrease, so far as national
and state governments are concerned,
but a corresponding increase in the
case of cities, villages and townships.
The per capita county Indebtedness
has been nearly stationary-s2.47 in
1880, $2.92 in 1890 and $3.50 in 1902.
But the per capita national indebted
ness fell from $60.46 in 1870 to
Silt In 1902, having been $38.27 in
1880 and s14.22 in 1890. Likewise,
there was a decrease in state and terri
torial Indebtedness from 1915 in 1870
to $2.9S in 1902, the figures being
$5.4S in 1880 and S3.3S in 1890. On
the other hand the per capita in
debtedness of cities, villages and town
ships increased from 1857 in 1870 to
$17.66 in 1902, having been $14.09 in
1880 and $11.S9 in 1890.
1t is evident that collective enter
prise under municipal and other
strictly local forms has enormously in
creased. While the sphere of the ma
tional government has expanded, the
local undertakings of the people for
public improvements and services have
multiplied at an incomparably greater
rate. In the light of these facts the
dangers which some imagine from
Capitalization in the national govern
ment, usurping the functions of local
government, largely disappear.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON YOUR
OLD PANAMA SKYPlECE
Ladies Are Preparing for a Raid With
View of Converting Them Into
Easter Millinery.

Here is a quiet tip to the men of
Rock Island If you value your old
Panama hat you'd better step lively
and put it where your wife or sister
can not get hold of it, for there are
good grounds to believe there
is general conspiracy among the la
dies involving old Panama hats. Spies
posted in various millinery stores have
gathered the information and it is au-
thentic. 1t is all because of the Curl
Gus bent of Dame Fashion this spring.
Sewed up here and puffed out
there with the brim cooked up on one
side and smashed down on the other,
the crown kicked in and the whole
covered with ribbons, flowers and
plumes, samples of some of the latest
and most approved hats for women
seen in the milliners' windows would
scarcely convey any suggestion of a
revamped Panama hat to the average
man. But the ladies see through,
around, inside of and past the corners
of these hats and they have come to
the conclusion, that, given an old Pan
anna and sufficient amount of lingerie
il will not be difficult to attain the
very apex of fashion. The word has
been passed along and now there is a
concerted movement under way to get
hold of the available supply of men S
headgear. If you miss your Panama
look for it on Easter day.
