MISS HUDsPETH sEWAlLS FATE
Stuart Woman Editor Says Newspaper
Work is Not For Femininity.


Omehe, Neb., Feb. 22.-The only wo-
man editor and publisher in Nebraska,
who a year ago won national fame by
her crusade against the bachelors of
her own town, journeyed from Stuart,
Neb.. to tell the Nebraska Press asso-
citation, at its convention here, that
the woman editor in the west is a fail
ure. Miss Rosa Hudspeth, in conclud-
ing her most entertaining paper on "A
Woman Editors Experience" says:
"In truth, the Ledger editor is COM
PEELED to say that from worldly
standpoint journalism for woman in
the west is a failure, If she places prin-
ciple above expediency. 1t will be
still a bigger failure If she counts eX-
pediency first, for she will be used as
a catspaw, like certain brilliant wo-
man Of the Hawkeye state, who was
paid big price for pulling chestnuts,
and was banished in disgrace from the
political and social circles of the me-
tropolis. The Ledger has written re-
form that has not reformed. Sermons
have been written that have fallen on
the dull ears of the public; good has
been called evil Up in Holt county
the political combine still thrives. The
manipulation of the SANDER mill lives
in luxury, with rare prestige and big
following. The plunderbund is sack
ing the county purse, At Stuart, the
famous bachelor brigade is still smok
ing, drinking, flirting, but not one is
married"
Miss Hudspeth tells with rare humol
her struggle with printers when she
became publisher, Drink ended
their career, but not until they hat
left their impression by singing on the
street corner in their maudlin stages
odes to "The Lady With the Colder
Hair" The old ladies met nightly L

WEIGH APPOINTED JUDGE
WAYNE ATTORNEY SUCCEEDS
BOYD ON THE BENCH.
NAMED BY GOVERNOR SHELDON
The Vacancy Created by the Election
Of Judge Boyd to Congress From the
Third Congressional District, Has
Been Filled by Wayne Attorney.

Lincoln Neb, Feb. Especial to
The News: Hon A. A. Welch or
Wayne, Neb., has been appointed by
Governor Sheldon to succeed Judge
]. f. Boyd as Judge of the Ninth judi
cial district in Nebraska.
Judge Boyd of Neigh was elected
as congressman from the Third con
gressional district in Nebraska last
fall, and recently resigned from the
bench position to go to Washington,
where he will take his seat in the low
er house of representatives. This left
vacancy in the judgeship in the
Ninth judicial district, which com
prises Madison, Pierce, Knox, Wayne
and Antelope counties
Judge Welch of Wayne was one OF
the first attorneys in the district to be
mentioned for the appointment. The
| late w. M. Robertson of Norfolk was
also a prominent candidate for the po
sition, but death came to Mr.. Robert
son before Governor Sheldon was
ready to make his appointment.
After the death of Mr.. Robertson
Hon w. w. Quivey of Pierce county
a prominent republican and wei
known attorney, entered the race but
his friends realized that he was han
dicapped by late start.

It PAYS to be a Gentleman.

Creighton Liberal No one can read
the reports of the way the great Cali
fornia lawyer, Dolphin M. Delmas, is
handling his clients interest in the
Thaw trial or who has seen M. F. Har-
rington in a court room but must con-
clude that the days of the buffer or
illtempered lawyers is past if 1t ever
was here.
District Attorney Jerome is a very
able lawyer. He has been scourge
for evil doors of a certain class of
gamblers though it seems at times as
though he was a protector for the
blood-thirsty gambling pirates who are
in possession of the street railways
and other public service corporations.
When pitted against Delmas, Jerome
is made out a small bars tactlcian as
the Californian never loses his temper
and he parties the thrusts of the pros
ecuting attorney with an urbane sar-
casm that burns like vitrol.
New Workers are standing agape
that man from the wild and woolly
west should come into their territory
and actually show them anything.
While there are many essentials OF
this case that are disgusting 1t is ques
tionable if it is not going to be a ser
mon in making public sentiment.
Too long have we been willing tc
condone the weaknesses Of men If they
had been eminent in some branch Of
the material.

other for the woman is Temporarily be

HORSEMEN!

To breed an ideal horse should be
the aim Of every one interested in
the production Of horses. The true
artist sees the picture before he be-
gins to use his brush. Of course
the breeder cannot blot out the pro-
duct if it does not suit him, as the
artist can, and reproduce the ideal,
but he can study in advance his
ideal of a fine horse and then select
the sire that he thinks will be the
most likely to produce the picture
he has in mind. If the mares are
draft, breed to the imported Per-
cheron sire Castel, and produce the
ideal draft mares and geldings. If
the mares are light, breed to the
standard bred sire 500 Paulo and
produce the ideal road and carriage
horses, that win the money in the
show ring and on the race track.
Castel at Freese's livery barn from
Tuesday until Friday noon; 500
Paulo there all the time.
