NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

Beaver City Times-Trlbune: Governor
Shallenberger, who IL the principal owner
of a bank himself, has new remedy for
bank panlcs and that Is fewer banks
Some way we always believed In competi-
ton.
Plattsmouth News: SO the railroads are
not to be permitted to make contracts Will,
the newspapers to exchange mileage for
advertising. All right. Cash will be ac-
cepted in lieu OF mileage. Send in your
orders you general passenger agents, for
space.
Scribner News: The supreme court OF
Nebraska has decided that railroads can
not exchange transportation for newspaper
mileage. Newspapers doing business on
business principles, and which give adver-
tisers their moneys worth, are well sat
isfied with the decision.
Hastings Tribune: Governor Shalenber-
ger has hoped onto a new hobby. This
time 1t Is law limiting the number Of
banks for Nebraska. Whenever "Shaley"
doesn't play the game OF politics for all
there Is In 1t he will throw up the sponge
and retire to private life.
Kearney Hub: The Nebraska bankers
assembled the other day at Hastings re-
solved again against the postal savings
bank proposition and petitioned the con-
gresham from Nebraska to vote against
the bill in the house. That they will bolt
! their party platform Is not probable. Nor
would they dare to.
! Papilllon Republican: In his speech at the
graduating exercises Governor Shallenber-
| ger made an attempt to ridicule President
| Taft because of his extensive travelling
Those who live in glass houses should not
throw stones. The governor must remem-
Der that he spent $1257.S2 Of the state money
to defray his travelling expenses for a
period Of fourteen months while his pred
ecessor expended but ss4S in twenty-four
months for the same purpose.
! Wood River Interests: Our supreme
court has uneGuivocally declared that the
railroads of Nebraska cannot swap trans
pcrtation for advertising space. The court
holds that 1.-THE standard measure possible
| in order to insure absolute uniformity in
the charges is money" The notion the
railroads have had that they could not
pay cash for their advertising service the
same as other business men has been
wrong and it is we'll our supreme court
has clearly pointed out the error of their
| way.
| Plattsmouth journal: In some sections of
Nebraska the people seem to have it in for
Omaha. Go down into Missouri and they
| possess the same feeling with regard to
Kansas City and St Louis. 1t would APP
pear that the large cities of any state are
the ones the people are always condemning.
Lincoln does not possess enterprise enough
to have people talk either good or bad about
it. When that town loses the capitol, they
should erect high wall around it, and
gates on each side and admit no one but
those who are religious, moral and tenn
perate. or profess to be, and call 1t the
Holy City"
Grand Island Independent: Dr. Greene
| formerly superintendent of the Nebraska
Insane asylum of Lincoln, in recent ad.
dress, declared that the laws of this state
with reference to it's public institutions
are about the most Anticipated in the coun.
try. Which reminds us of another demo
cratic promise untitled. The party pledged
that 1t would put at least some of the
state institutions IN the hands of a board
on lines making efficiency, rather thar
party, the basis of appointment to and re
tention in office. The promise was gooC
enough TO get in on" but no attention
was ever paid to II after that
