LEGISLATIVE AFTERMATH.

Plattsmouth Journal: We do not think
there is any more harm in playing base
ball on Sunday than there is in running
an automobile on that day. Now, honestly,
do you?
Kearney Times: II is to be borne in
mind that the principal kick the Lincoln
papers have on the legislature is because
II cut the appropriation OF money that Lin
coin wanted and expended some on things
Of no interest to Lincoln.
Grand Island Independent: There is
neither the time, nor the place, nor the
occasion for the democracy of the state to
make any great pretentions as to economy.
The Legislature of 1907 appropriated "a, =
los; that of 1909 appropriated 81, 900, 129, and
that of this year $79O,1S6.
Fremont Tribune: new law provides
that no one may hunt or fish anywhere
in the state, unless there is a license held
by someone in the family. The law should
go little further and provide that at least
two members of every family holding a
license shall be willing to clean the fish
or game.
stanton Register: Governor A!drich We
toed the Sunday base ball bill because II
did not give the cities and county boards
the right to control the game as the ma
Jority Of the people saw fit. We didn't
need any legislation along those lines. When
public sentiment in any town want Sunday
base ball there is seldom anyone to make
objection.
Bloomington Advocates: Governor Aid
rich has to his credit more vetoes than
any other former governor for many years.
He had most excellent ground for these
vetoes and is now receiving the congratu-
lations of many people for his good judg-
ment. Some of the bills killed were DO
litical measures and others were where
the corporations had succeeded in having
their bills passed.
Ord Quiz: With prices going down on
account of the recent successes OF the
democratic party, here comes our demo-
cratic legislature with appropriations for
the biennium amounting to nearly o. 0O0, 900
more than that Of two years ago and the
greatest in the history Of the state What
do you think of 1T, Mr. Taxpayer? Did
you get your moneys worth in the lot of
Insignificant bills passed by this legisla-
ture? III
Blair Pilot: The passage OF a bill to
prohibit the hauling OF indifferent voters
to the polls on election day is another step
in the right direction. II was always a
heavy expense to the party or the candi-
dates and has been an indirect form OF
brtbe that should have been stopped long
ago The end Of the free pass" to the
polls gives no undue advantage to either
side and measures and men must hereafter
stand more on their merits and less on
getting out the largest per cent OF the In
different or unconvinced voters.
Teeumseh Chieftain: Right you are,
brother, these economical democratic
legislatures come high, but evidently the
people have been feeling that they must
