H. L. Kegley, president of the state
grange, an organization among the farmers
of the state, and with large as we'll as
growing membership, has decided to give
up farming, at which he has been unusually
successful and devote his entire time to
battling for the good of the order in par
ticular and the farmer in general. The state
grange has become an important element
in the politics of the state and threatens to
become even more active than it has been
in the past The farmer in the past has,
using the street vernacular, been altogether
"too easy" and has left the affairs of state
entirely too much to the real estate shark
and the political trickster, who have put
laws on the statute books in the interest of
the trusts and corporations, knowing full
we'll it would do them no harm as they had
nothing or expected to leave the state as
soon as they got a piece of money, and he
is plunging into the political game none too
soon. He may pass laws, which from
technical standpoint will be declared uncon-
stitutiona1, but with the recall of judges on
the statute books the judge will hesitate
before declaring a common sense law I'm
constitutional when he knows he may be
recalled for the decision.

Homer M. Hill, secretary of the Tax Pay
ers' League who went east to make extern
sive study Of the tax levy in the various
cities, has returned and will in the near
future have something to say of much i'm
portance to taxpayers and for the benefit of
the general public. Mr.. Hill has become
quite an expert in the matter of taxation.
Joe Bianchi, the city detective who killed
Frank Harris sneak thief, because he did
not stop when commanded, has been in
formed against by the prosecuting attorney
and he will have to stand trial for man
slaughter. 1t is said of the detective that
he is almost heart-broken over the killing
of the man, but he lost control of himself
and shot hastily. If that be true then the
best thing that Joe can do is to give up his
gun, if he continues on the force, but he
should not be continued on the force.
John Cort and John w. Considine, both
Seattle theatrical magnates, are now in
New York looking after the interests of
their respective circuits and it is the con-
census of opinion that Seattle is in line for
some of the best plays that have visited the
city in a number of years.
Lyman Smith may be dead, but his forty
two story building in Seattle is going on
just the same, and nothing so clearly proves
that it is going on than the fact that the
little buildings on the site where it is to be
erected are being town down and actual
construction on the skyscraper will begin
in few days more.
property holder, does not take any stock in
Virgil Bogues civic center proposition and
he makes no bones in saying, when it is up
for action I will fight it to the last ditch
1t begins to look, when such men as Haller
come out against the proposition that it will
have hard sleding. The daily press has al
ready begun to try to educate the public
into the idea, but the public mind is not
educatable in that direction. Taxes are al
ready far too high and to establish that So
called civic center would simply mean the
piling tip Of twenty or thirty million dollars
additional taxes on the people, and they just
will not stand for it.
Herbert E. Shook, who for many years
did local politics in connection with his law
offices, but in latter years has simply been
getting the money, has been moved against
by John C. Higgins for disbarment, on the
ground that he did not tote fair with a
client. It is the exception and not the rule
where attorneys openly rob their clients as
Shook is charged with having done, but
there must be some attorneys with the get

Phillip Tindal, who for the past seven
wears has been a resident of Seattle, hailing
from Washington, D. c., where his father
is connected with the legal department OF
the capital city, is a candidate to succeed
Mr.. Calhoun as corporation counsel, but
whether or not the council sees fit to name
him, he will be candidate for the nomina-
ton next spring and he feels that ne has
sufficient local encouragement to make
most vigorous campaign. In commenting
upon the article in The Seattle Republican

Chester Thompson, the demented son of
Will II. Thompson, who was tried for the
murder of Judge Meade Emery and &C
quilted on the grounds of being demented
but confined in the insane ward of the state
penitentiary, subsequently released as be-
ing cured, has been returned to the insane
ward of the asylum, his father surrendering
him as an incurable. It was a mistake to
have permitted Thompson to leave the
asylum and it is we'll that he has been re-
turned that he will no longer annoy the
community, and if physically able he should
be put at light work where his mind will be
completely wenaed from the hope of marry
ing one Of the Whitley girls. Five or ten
years in the asylum with more or less
pleasant environments will do much toward
strengthen his now thoroughly shattered
mind.
Charles H. Frye, one of Seattle's leading
business men, who has made a fortune out
of the packing business, has gone east and
will be absent for some weeks. Before
leaving he discussed the subject of a candi-
date for mayor and said: Seattle has had
all of the billing idea she wants and the
citizens of the city who desire to see the
town grow and grow without ceasing should
get together and put man before the
public that would be of some benefit to the
city and the community. AS objectional as
is George F. Cotterill to the business inter
est of the city, yet am fully convinced that,
if Dilling is nominated by the Republicans
and Cotterill by the Democrats, Cotterill
will beat Dlling by an overwhelming ma
jority. While the time is drawing close
yet their is still plenty of time for the public

ington, according to political rumor, is
liable to be named as the successor to the
late Harry A. Fairchild, chairman of the
utilities commission. Mr.. Lee is looked up
on as a pretty level headed young man and
conscientious of his duty to a fault. He
doubtless, in the very outset, will not do as
we'll as would have Harold Preston, yet it is
not doubted that sooner or later he will de-
velop into one of the ablest public servants
now in public life. For the most part George
A. Lee seems endowed with splendid sup
ply of good hard horse sense, which he uses
generally to the best advantage. Gov Hay
may not make many votes for his guber-
material contest in naming Lee, but he GER
tainly will be doing the state quite bust

Joseph Pulitzer, who was, perhaps, one
of the worlds greatest and most liberal
minded journalists, died of heart disease
last Sunday and was buried last Wednes-
day. He was the father of the New York
World, and in launching it, he pledged its
columns to fair play and equal justice, and
it never wandered very far from the path
while he lived. He set the pace of honest
journalism and it is to be regretted that
the leading papers all over the country, who
boast of their multiplied thousands of sub
scribers, do not follow in his wake. Great
metropolitan daily newspapers instead OF
being public educators are for the most part
personal organs to help the chief stock
holder, the editor or the trusts to get the
advantage Of the other fellow.

and said he would and we piled in and
were off in a fifty.
Well say, we were not gone long until
we had nine big cat fish and we started
for homo, and my mamma fried the fish
for US for supper. 1t was a fish supper
and we ate fish. But Roland could not
get enough fish and just called for more
fish right along. That night he took sick.
He got more fish than he cared for and
was not in shape to go with us the next
day.

Grace's Visit to Naples.

Fulton ST., Columbus, Neb. Blue Side.
Graces father had promised her she
could go abroad In May. II was May now,
so she was teasing her father to let her
go. Her father said that on the goth of
May she could go. 1t was the 18th of May,
so Grace was getting ready for her trip.
On Saturday morning Grace bought her
ticket and got on the train with her
father. In about two weeks she was in
the harbor of Naples. There she saw
little naked boys, lying on the warm sand
or diving for eoppers,
She asked her father where their moth
ers and fathers were. He said that very
likely they did not know that they had
any fathers or mothers.
How do they get something to eat?'
said Grace.

man. who had been listening
That evening Grace was taken to the
great cathedrals. so it was late when she
got home. On her way home she had to
be careful not to step on the people be-
cause they sleep on the pavements and out
in the streets They are always naked
because it is so warm.
When she got home she said that that
was the queerest visit she had ever had.

From MAY to Nav.

BY Jeanette Miller, Aged II Years, Fair
mont, Neb. Blue Side
Last year as usual May held sway. Her
reign was full of bright sunny days when
balmy winds blew, waiting the sweet scent
of blossoms from the orchards. She sent
her ministers TO every hillside and valley
to cheer the little flower whom the sun
smiled at and who opened their bright eyes
every morning when it showed its shining
face over the horizon. After the day was
over the flowers were tired and thirsty.
May would send silvery dewdrops sliding
down on the moonbeams TO cool their hot
lips. Some days the little flowers grew
very tired and hot. Then May would hang
a gray veil OF clouds over the great suns
face and from the ven cooling little rain
drops would fall with soft patter to every
little roadfarer and meadow blossom.
Thirty-one days passed and June came to
claim the throne. May stepped down to
give June sway and went to wander In the
rose gardens that sprung up under June's
tender care.
June passed and July came with dry, hot
winds and scorching suns May wandered
down along the brooks to find a cool nook
where July's scorching hand could not
reach, but even there 1T was sultry.
Then August came with days even hotter
and the roads ran through the fields like
gray ribbons from which clouds OF dust
would rise whenever a breeze blew. But
the nights were growing cooler and May
wandered in the cool moonlight.
In its turn September reigned. on the
pastures and hilsides the first signs OF the
coming winter appeared. May watched
with saddened heart the flowers fade and
die and the birds prepare to leave for their
n1NAe 10
tober the leaves fell from the trees the
wind whistled In the trees and blew the
bright colored leaves about below them.
May wandered cold and lonely through the
groves
November came, 1t hung a heavy gray
cloud in the sky. One night when the wind
moaned and shrieked around the houses
Jack Frost came with icy fingers to put a
thin silvery covering over the earth. May
looked with a shiver at the work OF his
shining brushes.
December and January spread q thick
blanket of snow over the earth, but this
disappeared by the last of Februarys reign
and a few brave robins came from their
southern homes.
March entertained Jack Frost during a
few more Of his icy visits, but he soon was
driven away by the soft breezes Of spring
months.
April followed March. 1t brought fresh
showers that brought the message that
spring was here. Then the flowers sprang
up with Joyous hearts to make the world
bright and gay.
Now May is here again. All the players
and the feathered orchestra have returned
to establish themselves here for the sum-
mer. The prospects are for Just sunshine
and song all day long"
