PREVENTING FOURTH FIRES

| that property and lives must o. pToleclcu
during our Fourth Of July celebration.
There are probably weak spots and
fire boxes" in the vicinity Of many build
ings in every city and village in the state
From this date until July the Nebraska
cry should be "Clean upl clean up! clean
upg' Then see to it that little common
sense is used by those who explode fire
works and a little wholesome authority
is exercised by parents and municipal au-
thorities. The result will probably he that
lives will be saved. personal injuries
avoided and valuable property spared
Nebraska and Normal BoRrd.
The indications are that it will be many
years before Nebraska RECEIVERS from It's
experience with the democratic legislature
which first dragged the state normal
schools into politics and attempted to
make them a part of democratic political
machine. After the act had been passed,
which was done solely for the purpose OF
creating a democratic normal board, Gov
| ernor Shalenberger appointed his demo-
cratic board, even refusing to reappoint
D. w. Hayes, a democrat because the lat
ter owed his first place to Governor Shell
don, republican.
The democratic normal board was in con-
troll of the two normals for seven months,
during which time the act was being tested
in the supreme court. 1t spent money so
lavishly at the Peru normal that Mr.,
Hayes the newly elected principal, takes
charge of a school practically broke
| financially.
| The supreme court declared unconstitu-
tional the act of the democratic legislature
and the regular normal board again book
charge of affairs, since which time it has
been trying to straighten out the tangle
left by the democratic board and Principal
| Crabtree 1t ordered the credits reported
| from those students who had been gradu-
| ated so that legal certificates could be
| issued to them. Principal Crabtree has
/ failed to make good in many instances and
as result numerous graduates are teach
| ing contrary to law, without a legal certifi-
cate.
University commencement.
| The baccalaureate sermon to the students
of the state university was delivered to-
night by the Rev. Mr. William Henry Buss
of Fremont, his subject being THE Con-
servation of the Soul"
Remarkable Lapse of Memory.
| No public explanation has yet come to
Lincoln of the action of the demochatic
state committee in neglecting to have read
the letter sent by Mr.. Bryan to the chair
man OF the local arrangements committee
| in charge of the Kearney banquet. 1t is
possible that this incident will take its
place along with the other two remark
able iapses OF memory. The chairman of
the arrangement committee in charge Of
| the democratic love feast at Beaver City
forgot" to read a speech Mr.. Bryan had
sent him for that purpose. The second
lapse was recorded when Leo Matthews,
secretary to the democratic state COM
mittee, forgot" to include in his minutes
notation that the Oregon plan of elect
! ing United States senators had been acted
upon at a recent committee meeting. He
recalled the incident after attending a dem
ocratic banquet at Kearney. 1t is sup
posed now that the chairman of the Kear-
ney banquet will also allege in his own
dnfense that he too had a lapse of mem
| ory."
