PEOPLE MAY HAVE CHANCE TO
EXPRESS CHOICE FOR SENATOR

RENO, Aug. II. = United States
Senator Newlands has addressed a let
ter to P. L. Flanagan in which he sug-
gests that as Mr.. Flanagan will receive
the endorsement of the Republican con
vention at Goldfield for United Statee
senator and he the endorsement of the
Democrats that both submit their
names to the electors by popular vote,
regardless of the candidates for the
legislature pledged to the support of
each.
Mr.. Newlands suggestion is in line
with provision made by the legisla-
ture in 1901 by which candidates for
United States senator may submit
their names to the people on the official
ballot. The law was not intended 10
elect the senator that way. for such is
impossible at present but was intend
ed as a move toward the popular elec-
tion of senators and to serve as an iu-
dication of the public choice in such
matters
RENO, Aug. l9.-State Senator
Flanagan, who returned to Reno today,
answers United States Senator New
lands open letter requesting that their
respective names be submitted to tn"
people to be endorsed for the United
States senate Flanagan takes thr
stand that it is presumptuous on tn
part of any man TO dictate the party
policy before the convention has NJ
sembled, but expresses approval ~
the suggestion.

The funeral services OF Mrs. j. M.
Bryan were held at the M. L. church,
in Audubon. on Thursday of last week,
conducted blythe pastor, Rev. +. ".
ID. Vedder. IL was eminently fitting
that she should be buried from that
church because she was one OF the
charter members whenit was organized
and one of its helpers and support
ers for many years. The following
obituarywasr read at the funeral service:
Esther Ann Barngrover was born ia
Indiana, October z, 1874, and died at
her home in Guthrie Center, Iowa, on
December 81, 1907, aged ~Sixty-Two
Years, Two Months and Twenty -Four

but from which there was no relief.
ola, Iowa, in 1853; and when but a
child of nine years she was converted
to God and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church, in whose christian
fellowship she liveda faithful and con-
sistent member up to her death. La
1868 she was united in marriage to j.
M Bryan, at Des Moines, Iowa. In
1874 they moved to Audubon county,
and settled at the Town ofOld Hamlin,
where they lived until 1902, when they
removed TO Guthrie county. To Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan were born ten child
rem, OF whom but five are living: Mrs
Fl. G.. Rice, of Hamlin; Llewellyn Bry-
an, of Cereal, Oklahoma; Ernest Bry-

band, mother, two sisters and one
brother who sorrow, but not as those
who have no hope. During her long
illness she was ever patient and very
thoughtful of all those around her
Her death was great triumph, be-
cause of her perfect trust In mighty
Savior She is not dead but lives
in heaven where sickness, pain and
death are felt and feared no more.
She was a member of the Womans'

the state SHES his caster into the ring
and asks for the nomination. MIR.
Murphy was state printer for six years,
is prominent leader among the lodg.
es of the state, has been straig htout
republican all his life, and has state
wide acquaintance among all the lead
ersin political thought and action.
He is capable and popular and would
fill the Office with credit and efficiency.
OF him the Cedar Rapids Republican
speaks as follows:
Mr.. Murphy always knows what he
believes in, and he always has the
courage OF his convictions. Any
thing that smacks of double dealing
or trickery he despises He has al
ways been hard fighter but fair
one as result of this straightforward
policy he has always commanded the
admiration and respect of every body
even Of those who differed from him
most radically. He comes before his
fellowrepublicans as consistent party
man as a republican and nothingelse
seeking an Endorsement for the Office
OF lieutenant governor. That Mr.
MURPHY is worthy Of his high positi.
ton and qualified for It's duties in
every particular goes without saying

Judge Smith has been re-appointed

the Committee on Appropriations
which is one of the most important
and influential ia the House. The Ave
members who precede him have all
had longer service. Though he is u
member Of other important commit
tees the Craftsmanship of this one is
probably the objective point of his
ambition for the present. time. His
advancement is also shown by his re-
appointment as charm an of the sub.

much sought. 1t was from the head

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Too Many Women Employed AS Teachers
For The Good OF Our Public Schools

The County Superintendent and the
teachers who attendedthe State Teach
ers' Association, at Des Moines, re-
turned home Saturday morning. The
number enrolled was fifteen hundred
and forty, makingthe attendance larg-
er than ever before "Too much scrap
ping" said the superintendent, espec-
tally in the county superintendent S
section ''to have a pleasant or prolta-
BILE time" She forgets the women ex-
cepted OF course the uperintendents
are politicians who usually get the
Office by scrapping" and hold ii in
the same way, And the pity of it is
that some of them have more ability
as scrappers = than they have as
educators. But there were many fine
addresses and altogether a great meet
ing
Doctor Stanley Hall declared that
q The time has come when we need u
mans right movement. Seventy-six
per cent OF all theteachers in the Unit
ed States are women. There are too
many women teachers ingraded schools
There should be a better mixture OF
men and women. 1t is best for the
women. They lose tone and 40 not
koow why it is. Another thing, il is
not good for Ia principal to be with a
lot OF women. lie is not good for u
principal not to be contradlcted. He
needs TO get outwith menwho will con-
tradict him and notsbelieve him and
tell him so. The only use for women
in school in abundance would be on
the school boards. Women have the
largest representation and yetlhey are
on the minority.
z By the intoxicating Of women on
our teaching force hogging OF unruly
boys has gone out OF date. A woman
can not realize that there are worse
things than dermal pain. a boy who
has every grace of manner when he is
fourteen and fifteen is called by the
woman teacher-a perfect gentleman. !
say that there is something radically
wrong with that boy. His develope-
ment is not normal. A boy who rises
early in the morning In culture devel-
opement wanes at noon and is dull In
later life. In Germany the boy is fog
ged and gets logged, fights and gets
whipped, is made q eirile man and
becomes noted soldier. He has the
growth of contact with other boys 1t
makes man out of him.
We believe there is whole lot of
truth in Doctor Halls statement, ex-
cept as to women as members Of school
boards. If there Is anything that eff.
cient teachers do moi wantit is TO have
women "nosing around y the school
house with official and : officious"
authority The same is true Of that
kind OF men. School boards should
be made up OF broad-minded, liberal
busy men OF, affairs who know enough
to employ strong superintendent and
corps Of teachers and then demand
high grade and efficient work and let
them alone.
