Charley Pool, former speaker, came to
the opening OF the session to help guide
the democratic ship of state around the
swirling eddies, that is true enough. But
Ye Editor from tho good county of John
son had yet another purpose. Forsooth
1t was to see IL something could not be
done toward converting those ninety-two
votes of plurality for W. A. George into
a plurality for Pool and make the latter
secretary Of state. But the thing didn't
so when the two houses got into joint
session. 1t was not preached and Pool
smilingly took his medicine.
Judge W. d. Oldham of Kearney has
grown so enthusiastic over Judge Albert
since the federal supreme court upheld
the validity of the bank guaranty law,
that he is booming the Columbus man,
who drew the bank guaranty bill, for gov
ernor two years hence or at least for the
democratic nomination.
And thereby hangs a tale. A good many
people in these diggings happen to know
that Judge Albert and Judge Oldham have
not been boon companions since the time
Judge oldham made that unfortunate
banquet speech respecting, or disrespect-
ing Judge Lettong The banquet was given,
really, in honor OF Judge Letton. Oldham
and Albert were then both on the supreme
court commission and It IS verify believed
and for long time has been that but for
that speech by Judge Oldham that night,
Albert might have served two years
longer on the commission than he did.
But in the upheavaI that displaced Old
ham, Albert went, too.
1t is now an open question whether Old
ham is going to boost the Albert stock
materially or not by advocating him at
this time for governor in 1912.
Speaker Kuhl and Senator Kohl are fast
friends, but the striking similarity in their
names is liable to do violence to their
friendship. Already their mall is getting
mixed. The other day Speaker Kuhl got
letter intended for Senator Kohl and
before noticing the address closely opened
and began reading the letter 1t contained
good-sized check and Kuhl was unable
to account for his receipt Of the check.
He finally discovered that It was his
friends letter and check and took It to him.
Kohl had sold some property and this
check was part of the proceeds.

Mr. President. Gentlemen Of the Senate
and House. and My Fellow Citizens:
I'VE are here today in the performance
of cermony provided by the constitut on
Of the State of Nebraska.
This occasion then.sis typical OF the
fact that we live in a state and a nation
whose characteristic features are love Of
order and law.
Our country is free. vet no man has
right to do as ne pleases. in the language
Of De Tocquevile we say; In no country
in the world does the law hold so absolute
a language as In America Our transitory
periods. then, or our changes in policies
Of government, are always marked by
sober and well defined purposes There
is never an alliance with the turbulent
passions OF anarchy In word. we are
revolutionary never but democratic al
ways. And this leads US TO assert that
theories of economies are embodied and
set forth in the platform OF political par
ties. and hence a campaign OF enlIghten-
ment and education Is inangurated. News
papers and public speakers begin serious
discussion. The people become interested.
They listen. read and gather information
ana they think the matter out for them
selves. SOberly and quietly. they go TO the
polls, register their opinions and eonv.e
tioEs. And when the vote Is counted In
nearly every instance. American history
tells us. that the majority IL for good
government and the rights of society. And
this responsibility that the voter assumes
makes him one OF the managers of free
institutions keeps the fires Of patriotism
ever burning and so makes Il possible for
the people TO rule.

Duty of lawmakers.
with these observations necessarily
brief and incomplete. let me urge upon
this law making body the Importance Of
acting periodically and fairly. Your re-
sponslbnity is indeed great. and we should
remember that laws are the index OF
civilization. a state thus classfies itself
by the laws It adopts, and by the lax or
rigid way Il enforces those laws Good
laws and their enforcement are the safe.
guard of the home and OF every legitimate
business; they are the only sure promise
OF safe and stable progress. Such laws
impartially enforced are beneficial both
to the lawless and the law abiding. And
Il Is the duty of the law abiding to use
every means within their power to re-
duce the number OF lawless to a minimum.
A most solemn obligation then rests upon
every loyal citizen of the state, to demand
just and impartial laws; to stand like a
for their enforcement, and 70
encourage those officials who are speci-
ficaly entrusted with enforcing them.
Nebraska is a progressive state. The
people have placed 1t in that column, and
they will never recall that verdict. The
people want a progressive ana business
like administration. They want the Of
fetal acts of every public servant to be
open to inspection. They want no graft
They want every legitimate enterprise to
be encouraged. They want the business
Of every state institution to be skilfully
administered. They want a just and
equitable taxation. They do not want the
peoples money wasted in Unnecessary ex-
penditure.-
This body will be called upon for largely
increased appropriations. Every item and
request should be scrutinized with the
closest care. 1 recommend that we be
generous without being extravaganza, and
that we be economical without being parsi-
monious. The business OF tthe state should
be conducted on the most approved bust
ness principles, and all appropriations
should be made with this in mind

VIEWS or AUTHORITIES.
Indianapolis, Oct. EFF Dr
knabe was murdered, as appears, /
am satisfied she was murdered by a
person with whom she was acquaint-
ed and that she voluntarily let this
person into her apartment. But the
theory of suicide must not be neg
lected"
With this statement Captain VII
liam Holtz, chief of the detective
department, last night summed up
the result Of the police activity in
the investigation Of the death of DR..
Helene knabe. former state bacter-
iologist, whose throat was cut while
she lay on her bed last Monday
night.
"MURDER,- SAYS CORONER.
I cannot see anything but murd sr
II this case" said DR.. c. o. Dur
ham. coroner of Marion county, who
began his inquest. THE instrument
of death was not found and circum-
stances indicating suicide appear to
me negligible"
Captain Holtz declared that he did
not intend 70 reflect upon the char
acter of Dr. Knabe in saying he be-
Iieyed she knew her murdered, if she
was murdered "Dr. Kna abe's repT-
tation was unblemished" said he,
'and she lectured TO young women
and men on the necessity Of social
purity. as well as on physical cul-
tUre and hygiene
But there are a number OF pos
sible motives for her murder.
ROBBERY NOT MOTIVE.
II is certain that robbery was
not the motive.
The heavy street dust that had
settled upon the outer sills OF the
windows OF Dr. Knabe's fat was IN
disturbed when our men examined
hem. The electric lights in the
bedroom were burning when Dr.
Inabe's body was discovered. These
are but a few OF the indications that
cad me 10 believe that she knew the
person who killed her. II. indeed, she
lid not commit suicide But We are
working on the murder theory"
