POPS AND DEMOS UP IN THE AIR
FINDS LOOMS HAS MANY FRIEND

Fusion on the state ticket may not be ef-
'ected this year. Tommy Allen has gone TO
writing letters again.
When the democratic state committee met
down at Lincoln last month many populist
eaders were in attendance, supposedly as
democrats. But Il now develops at no
time had they any intention of deserting
the standard Of the common people. but
merely were in attendance in the interest
of a square deal. The meeting failed to
discover anyone willing to stand for the
democratic and populist nominations. al
though several present were willing. provid-
ing they were assured OF the support OF
both parties. 1t was agreed there should
Oe no dispsrAgement of the candidates of
either party by the other with this under
standing George s. Loomis Of Fremont
few days later filed for the democratic
domination for supreme judge and Judge
Albert OF Columbus came out for the
popuIist nomination. Lincoln attorney
also consented to get into the game on the
democratic sidA
For a time the fusion papers treated the
several candidates impartially. but sud
denly there was change and Judge
Loomis frequently Of late has been referred
70 as the probable Moses. This is very
displeasing to the friends of Judge Albert
and also to the Lincoln candidate.
Conference I'm Omaha.
a conference OF several of the friends of
Judge Albert was held in Omaha Satur-
day. at which the judge was present At
this conference II came out that Tommy
Allen had sent out several communications
decidedly of press bureau complexion and
more than favorable to Judge Loomis. One

Z. declared District Clerk Guenther Of Platte
county. and the sentiment expressed was
unanimously endorsed. Then IT was de-
cided to send a representative to Lincoln
TO interview the powers that be and to file
a protest. Afterward an adjournment was
taken TO the sanctum Of the Omaha organ
OF democracy and populism and some sar-
castle observations were INDUCED in for
the benent OF the iieutenants in charge.
IN the mesntirue the popuiist Judicial can
didate wandered away from the crowd and

career will answer that question. he con-
tinued, when asked II he had read OF the

what? No, that is not right;

ST.; nd little closer to the trans
mitter, James. Now, begin
again, clearly. You speak very
badly"
Once more the scholar in the
snow-blockaded farm house runs
through his tables, while his
teacher, four miles away. keeps
enforcing that precise enuncia-
ton which makes telephone con-
versation a pleasure to listen to.
The spread of the lines of the
energetic Bell companies into
the most remote regions has pre-
vented, in many districts, the
cessation of educational activity
whenever a white blizzard sweeps
across the land. If children can
not attend school, why not still
assign them their regular work
and hear their lessons over the
telephone?
A characteristic instance of
this practice, which is growing
up in rural districts is reported
by the Bell Telephone Company
in 4 North Dakota town. When
the weather is severe, the teacher
goes to the telephone and calls
up the home of each pupil, noti-
flying him that the school house
will not be open that day and an
nouncing that studies will begin.
Where there are several pupils
in one home, extra receivers have
been provided.
Tried in an experimental way
in the winter of 1905, the plan
proved to be a great success.
Reading, spelling and grammar
are taught readily, and problems
in arithmetic and algebra are
solved on individual blackboards.
When it is remembered that the
children recite by the side of a
comfortable fire, that there is no
wading through drifts waist
high, the saving in doctors bills
and human life is apparent.
