Such a teacher has the confidence and

OF course there are some people who
love a tattler or informer. Both the
tattler or informer and the person who
listens are dangerous alike.
The president of Howard University

PRISONERS RELEASED.

Asheville, N. c, July 22.-The penal
ty clause of the new State Rate Bill
was declared unconstitutional and void
by United States Judge Pritchard to-
day James H. Wood, district passen-
ger agent OF the Southern, and c. VII
son, ticket agent of the same road, who
were recently sentenced to thirty days
on the chain gang for violation of the
law. were discharged on habeas corpus
proceedings.
In his decision Judge Pritchard said
that the penalties inflicted by the statute
would close the doors to a judicial hear
ing, and would amount to two and a
half million dollars a day if the penalty
was enforced on the sale of each ticket
which is eight times more than the
amount involved in the original suit
Also that it would do violence to the
comfy which exists between the State
and Federal courts While not imputing
any improper motives TO officials or State
courts, Judge Pritchard remarked that
if such a course of conduct was permit
ted to be pursued it would have the eff
feet of defeating the jurisdiction of the
United States courts.

LEGISLATIVE

Representative Jenison's exposure Of
the work that is being done against the
direct primary bill indicates that all
the old time flavor is not lacking from
this Legislative session. The innocent
new boarder where the member dimes
gets up an argument on the direct pri-
mary and makes it clear that no good
would result from it, but only to make
the newspapers rich. The member
drinks in this disinterested view not
list. The quiet rural looking citi-
zen on the streets whose tears invite
his sympathy explains that his grief is
caused by fear that the direct primary
will give all the offices to the cities.
The tears are paid for at SO much per
drop. but how is the member to know
that? But all the arguments that can
be smuggled into his head will not af-
feet the conscientious legislator when
he remembers that the real reason why
the direct primary is demanded is that
the voters of his district know that
they can best run their own public af-
fairs when they name their own cam
didates for Office.

body that has been in session for
long time. The travelling man was
telling his friend that the two-cent
fare bill was the best thing that had
ever happened and the members might
pass 1t and adjourn and have con-
ferred a blessing on humanity. The
farmers were wondering why in the
mischief the legislature did not get
a hustle on itself and pass a freight
rate bill. Two farmers especially in
the station We're arguing themselves
black in the face over the question
that the Legislature was not accom-
plishing anything. The railroad con-
ductors were the ones who were
knocking. They said the effect Of the
two-cent fare would come home to
them and they were wondering how
severe the effect would be and how
soon it would come"

the bill appropriated $1,91N,O00. This re-
duction is accomplished by leaving pro-
vision for the state university in a sep
arate bill disposing of the proceeds of
the one-mill levy, and by cutting out
all provisions for buildings at the vari-
Gus institutions. These will be attended
to by separate bills, each standing on
it's own merits.
AS drawn the current expenses bill
makes slightly increased provisions
over two years ago for some of the
state departments and institutions. The
national guard will receive nearly $685.
600 more, the committee making ample
provision for pay of men and travel
ing expenses at encampments and
maneuvers. At the Peru normal, new
engine and machinery will be allowed
at $4,000, no new buildings being listed.
kearney has bill for new buildings
at the normal school. At the Nebraska
City institute for the blind, an addition
to the main building for a kitchen, IL
brary and extension of the chapel and
moving and repairs to- the pipe organ
will come to 100000 The Omaha insti-
tute for the deaf and dumb will get
$3,50O for repairs and improvements.
The Kearney reform school will receive
$4,000 for permanent and general re-
pairs. The sum of $500 will be set
aside at Beatrice for permanent inn
provements to the institute for the
feeble minded youth. At the Lincoln
asylum for the insane, general repairs
will come to $4,000, an electric motor,
$1,000 enlarging and repairing ressr-
voir, $1,000; artificial ice and cold stor-
age plant, $4,000. A separate bill for
$500 hospital for the Lincoln asylum
has been introduced.
The current expenses appropriation
bill contains provision for $4,000 under
the head Of the state university of
which $4,000 is for the North Platte
experiment station and $25,00O for
farmers institutes. Institutes last bien-
MUM were cared for with $4,000 ap-
preparation.
The increase for the state historical
society to $4,000 for the coming bien-
mum is in reality from $12,500 instead
of $4,000 as some reports have indi-
Gated. Last session the appropriation
was made in two parts, one of $4,000
and one Of $500 for printing debates
of constitutional conventions, the two
being in separate places.
The finance committee has decided to
recommend $1,000 for the investigation
of parasitic diseases of vegetation.
AS the committee has acted, the orth-
opcdic hospital will receive $4,000 as
against $4,000 allowed two years ago
in the bill creating the institution.

preparations in the general expense bill
of the state of two years ago as COM
