Mrs. amlth to Get a Place.

Governor Sheldon has about made
up his mind that the board to look
after the enforcement of the child
labor law will get his next attention.
He expects to announce the compost
ton of the body in few days. 1t
is required by the law that two of the
board members be women, and it Is
pretty safe to predict that Mrs,
Draper Smith of Omaha will be one Of
them. Mrs. Smith was very busy at
the capitol during the time the b II
was pending, and 8 looked upon as
one well calculated to enforce its pro-
visions.

The Pure Food Law.

The food commissioners is receiving
numerous letters. asking for his con
struction of the various sections OF the

ers are violations of the act. Mr..

age. Lately It has been called to his
attention that there is too much water
being sold in the packages OF butter
for the purchaser to get his moneys
worth. Housewives have said when
they open one of the packages they
always find the butter covered with
drops of sailed water or sweat, which
is caused by the butter being made
IN a high temperature. thus allowing
the manufacturer to sell 10 to IS per
cent of water and salt in place of 100
per cent of butter Mr.. Johnson ex.
poets to go after this proposition right
away and also to see to It that the
right weight of the contents of the
package is stamped on the outside of
the package, so that the people will
not have to pay for lot of heavy
packing.
The food commissioner has also been
asked to raise the standard of beer
sold in the retail bars OF the state.
Only one brewery, so it has been re
ported to the commissioner, stamps on
the OUTSIDE of the beer bottles the in
gradients that make up the beer. 9th
ers have reported that in buying key
beer they get enough rosin in glass
to keep their hands sticky for week.
Mr.. Johnson will take uD this matter
in connection with others.

State Assessment Roll.

The returns from the county asses
sors con tinue to bear out the estimate
that the total increase in the grand
assessment roll will be in the neigh
borhood Of $12,000,000. Five counties
reported in one day, showing gains
as follows: Butler, $152,S58; Boone,
$1SS, 1885, Madison, $146,502; Dixon.
$125,110, and Cherry, $11,4S2. Some
time ago Secretary Bennett estimated
roughly thar the increase would be
about $l2,OO0,O 900, and while not near
half of the counties have yet reported,
it looks like his estimate viii be
about right.

Express Companies in Federal Court.

Following the example set by the
railroad companies the five express
companies have notified the supreme
court that they intend to ask the
federal court TO transfer from the
state court the application for an in
junction filed by the attorney to CON-
pei the express companies to charge
no more than rs per cent of the rates
in force at the beginning of the year.
A law enacted by the recent legis.
lature provided a 25 per cent reduc-
ton in express rates, and as the cor
porations failed to put in the new
rate the attorney general filed the
suit to compel them to obey the law.
1t was generally believed from the first
that the state supreme court would
issue temporary injunction, at least
until after a hearing had been given
the companies. The petition for the
injunction was filed the day the law
went into effect. Attorney Generai
thompson will resist the motion for
transfer.

Schedule for Express Companies.

The railway commission has decid-
ed to fix a schedule of express rates
July %. All the companies were mott
he'd to be present and interpose objec-
tons, should they desire. The com
mission decided to act INDEPENDENTLY
of the Sibley act, which eXpressmen
disregarded. The formal order of the
railway commission in regard to eX-
press rates follows:
you are hereby notified by the Ne
braska state railway commission that
upon the Esd of July, 1907, at 10
o'clock a. M, at the Office of said
commission In the city of Lincoln,
the said Nebraska state railway com
mission will consider the matter of
fixing the charges by express compan-
les for the transportation of money
and all other articles on the intra-
state shipments in the state of Neb-
raska at rs per cent of the charges
for such service as shown in their
schedules OF rates and charges on jan
uary l., 1907. and make such modifi
cations in rates and charges as ~
may deem just and reasonable.
F"You are further notified that at
said time and place you may appear
and show cause, If any there be, why
the rates and charges for such SER
vice should not be fixed on the basis
hereinbefore set forth"
More Light Wanted on Gibson Law.
The application of julius Beusch of
this city for writ Of habeas corpus
to secure his release from the custody
of Sheriff Ress. who arrested him on
q charge of violating the Gibson anti
brewery law, was argued in the SUI
preme court, but the judges decided
they would prefer to have the matter
gone into at length before passing on
the question raised. At first the
Judges were of the opinion the con-
stitutionality of the act could not be
questioned under the complaint filed,
but after some discussion with the
attorneys they concluded to ask for
more authorities and for a more thor
ough discussion from both sides. The
complaint charges Beusch, retailer,
sold two barrels of liquor at whole,
sale, which the petitioner says Is not
a violation Of the Gibson act, as that
provides wholesaler cannot be en-,
gagged in the retail liquor business.
The petitioner contends that the &C
Is Incomplete in itself and is uncon-
stitutional, because its title is not
broad enough for the body and be
cause II does not repeal the old sta
tute which it changes in several parti-
culars.

THOSE who are censuring SEN
ator DeLong for the destruction
of the enrolling committee of the
anti-usury bill, should transfer
their attention to the man who
fathered the bill. Every legis
lator who attends to business per-
sonally sees to it that his bills are
properly engrossed and enrolled.
He does not trust the lobby or
the special committee to attend
to it for him. The way the bill
was treated indicates gross neg.

whether he was so confounded

account of the death of DR.. VIM.

McFadden of this place and his
death brings to light reminis-

sent who opposed its adoption by
speaking against 1t. The reso
luton declaring IN favor OF seces-
sion was adopted with only three
dissenting votes. After reading
the resolution it will occur to
most of our readers as very
strange that a secession senti-
ment could possibly be so strong
in Indiana:
"Resolved, That if, after all
peaceable efforts have been made
to keep the several states united
in one grand confederacy, they
must divide and we must be cast
with one or the other portion, we
do of choice prefer to be attached

of the trial and his conviction is
we'll known to most Coloradoans.
He was adjudged guilty of killing
the man and eating parts of the
corpses. Gov. Thomas paroled
him during his term as Governor,
but the parole served lily to re-

guilt. He died protesting his in

Gov. BUcHTEL has gone out OF
his way in newspaper interview
to add what trifling weight his
word is worth to the attempt to
destroy all opportunity for fair
trial for Meyer and Haywood.
To California paper he has said
that he believed the accused men
guilty of the Stunenberg murder
and also other atrocious crimes.
He further libels his state by say
ing that practically all the Colo
rado people agree with him in
the belief. By this utterance he
brands himself a cheap liar, a
slanderer and one who desires to
aid the conviction of these men
without reference to their guilt
He lies knowingly and wiltully
when he says that Colorado 5eo-
pie agree with his statements.
That is proved by the fact that
1900 of them voted for Hay
wood for Governor, while tens of
thousands of others have con-
stantly expressed their belief in
the innocence of the men. He

some time had any confidence in
the Governors religious profess

of conniving at murder itself. as
he is doing in this case. if he can
curry favor with his corporation
adherents by SO doing. We have
tried desperately to credit Roose-
velt's bad break to ignorance and
undue haste. These items do not

licious heart, wicked as that which
