young men.
Beaver City Times-Tribune: Bryan Is
killed again. This time the World Herald,
his former guide. philosopher and friend,
has put him IN the procession with
hearse, all on account Of Mr. Bryan's atti-
tude on the tariff on wool
Aurora Republican: That Chester II.
Aldrich is governor of Nebraska is so APP
parent that 'he who runs may read"
What welcome change 1t Is to have
man In the executive chair who will not
hedge or trim on any proposition!
Ttkamah Herald Is IL not enough to
jar confidence to have John L. Webster
have himself interviewed in Washington
and to tell that Senator Bourne is very
much in favor of Norris Browns re-elec-
ton to the senate. websters support
should be enough Of itself to defeat Brown
Seward Blade; The people of Nebraska
viii want Governor Aldrch for another
term. He has made himself popular with
all classes Of citizens, and will undoubtedly
receive the nomination for a second term
without serious opposition from any
quarter. He has certainly made good"
and is deserving second term
Fairbury News: When a farmer can
haul to market more grain in the same
time over a dragged road than he can
over a natural highway, It stands to rea-
son that dragging saves him money. The
substitution of road dragging in our schools
for foot ball would provide a game that
is not only less strenuous but more profit
able.
Hastings Tribune: William Hayward, who
has Just completed trip around the world
has come to the conclusion that New York
City has the edge over Nebraska City. and
therefore he is going to leave Nebraska
and locate in Americas metropolis Hay
ward made himself heard while in Ne
braska, and he will also make himself
heard when in New York.
Kearney Hub: Chairman Husenetter is
sues notice that there will he a meeting Of
the republican state central committee at
Lincoln June 9. This evidence that the
grand old party is still doing business at
the old stand may be a surprise to some.
but II is just a beginning Of the work of
republican restoration in Nebraska, the
most conspicuous part of which will be
majority for the republican candidate for
president next year
Kearney HUB There is barely room for
the suspicion that William ]. Bryan has
determined that there shall not be a dem
ocratic president during his lifetime unless
he is the candidate. His present course is
causing a split in the democratic party
that will not be readily healed, II it can
be healed at all. Even Mr. Bryans long
time friend, the Omaha world-Herald, de-
clares that lit is hard to see the justice
in Mr.. Bryan's fierce attack on his fellow
democrats" etc, etc.
Falls City Journals Governor Aldrich's
statement that Willie he opposes the inflic-
ton Of the death penalty he signed the
death warrant for Jackson for fear some
future governor might release him. might
have seemed to some a rather far-fetched
excuse, but in the light OF the report of
Warden Smith Of the penitentiary, the
governors fear is entirely justlfiable. The
statistics compiled by Smith seem to show
that the average term served by life pris-
oners is eight years, due to a variety of
reasons, but the most prominent one being
pardons bestowed by governors with a soft
head and tender heart.
Blair Pilot: These are the days Of the
ralso mentioped," not of the "also ram
for public offiee, Fred Volpp of Scribner
has been mentioned for governor on the
democratic ticket next year; also Senator
J. II. Morehead OF Falls City, who was
president pro tempore of the senate and
since the death OF Judge Hopewell would
succeed to the office of lieutenant gov
ernor should and extra session of the legts-
lature be called. They are both wet and
"stand-patters' Of the most approved cor
poration type Two others mentioned are
OF the progressive type. Senator ]. A.
Oils, jr., of Ord and Representative r. B.
Quackenbush of Auburn. Either of the two
latter would be far more suitable timber
for governor OF progressive Nebraska, but
the two first mentioned would be best for
the democrats to nominate from the re-
publican standpoint. Governor Aldrich
would skin them a lot easier than either
Oils or Quackenbush.
