John Robinson Shows.
Almost every circus claims to
have Il show that can not be dupli-
Gated, and an aggregation OF per-
formers the like of which can not
be brought together, but the fact is
that every circus of any conSe-

double equipment.
There are really two circus

n W. MESSAGES

The people Of Nebraska have before
them the two messages OF the out
going and incoming governors.
The message presented by Governor
Sheldon is a detailed and compre-
hensive review of the various subjects
of state administration that have re-
quired his attention during the past
two years. together with recommends
tiOns of legislation suggested by his
experience in the executive chair. The
review invites attention to the bust
nesslike management of state institu-
tions and the unexampled list of re-
forms enacted into law by the last
republican legislature, constituting a
record Of which our people may we'll
be proud. Aside from the recon-
mendations relating to the conduct OF
the various state institutions and de-
~partments, the suggestions of Gov
ernor Sheldon for new legislation with
very few exceptions, will fail to excite
compelling popular interest. Espe-
cially out of place on the eve of a
transfer Of responsibility for state
government, is the renewed proposal
of his scheme for statewide prohibit
ton, suspendable by a three-fifths
vote, while several other proposals,
which fringe on freak legislation,
cannot be taken seriously.
Governor Shallenberger's inaugural
naturally lays special stress on a few
subjects which figured more or less in
the recent campaign. His argument in
favor of bank deposit guaranty is
probably as strong as it can be made
and yet is by no means convincing.
His desire for a board of control to
take supervision of the state institu-
tons contemplates something The Bee
has long advocated and which should
be enacted into law. His outline for
a new primary law is a distinct step
backward, to say nothing of several
impractioable features. The return to
the elected precinct assessors pleaded
for, although in line with his plat
form, is SUR to cripple the effective
administration of the revenue law.
Taken altogether, Governor Shallen-
berger's announcements are, if any
thing, less radical than Governor
Sheldon's recommendations. The va
rious topics treated in these two state
documents open up plenty of problems
for the legislature to grapple with and
will warrant The Bee in discussing
them more in detail from time te-
time.
