Hitchcock Of Nebraska.

New York World: This is the sena-
tor who tried to lumber up the tariff
bill with unrelated matter, and who
darkened his party's council and de-
layed it's action on that issue as far
as was within his power.
He is now the senator on n demo
cratic side Of the banking committee
who Is performing ven more distin-
guished services along the same line
on the currency issue by joining OBJ
structive republicans in ~deadlockins
the committee nj defeating action
wanted by the rest OF his party and
by the country.
Mr.. O'Gorman of New@York has done
some work along this line, and 1t is
Of no creditsto him. Mr.. Reed of Mis-
souri, has done. more wor of the
kind. and it is of less credit to him.
But it remains for Mr. Hitchcock OF
Nebraska at the last to- balk a single
vote against his party in congress
against the administration and against
the financial interests of h country,
which are demanding early action.
II. it is necessary to call a demo-
cratic SENSATIONAL caucus or confer
sence in order to. iron out his OBJ
structive wrinkle in the situation, then
1T cannot be held too quickly. IL the
bill must thus be made a party meas
ure, 1T lis the misfortune Of necessity
But in either case SO muck the worse
for the balky Nebraskan and the be-
deviling republicans he is playing
with.

A WORD 70 POLITICIANS.

New York World: Not in a person
al sense. but as a general rule or con-
duct is President wilson's remark at
Philadelphia to be considered-"l you
think too much about being r~e-eiected
it is very difficult to be worth re-eiect-
ing" ,, 49,, lii
TO the. practical politician this VIII
sound like heresy. He has small re-
spect for the president who fails @
strengthen himself with his party, 20
keep his ear to the ground and to u
popular favor for himself and his po-
litical followers.
Mr.. wilson has in mind something
wholly different. He holds the pres1-
dency to be an opportunity for service
to the people, not an avenue to popu-
larity and self-promotion. His ideal IS
that Of an official whose acts are gov
erned not by ambition and love or ap-
plause. but by loyalty, to his principles
and steadfast devotion to the puoHc
interests. ,'
It is. the conception Of a man who IS
master of himself, not the slave or the
ever tickle and capricious multitude;
| who studies not how to make votes,
but to make his office and the govern
ment worthy. Of confidence In the eyes
IF the people.

OBSEQUIES FOR DYER
TO Be HELD THURSDAY

1t was stated today that the funeral
for Eden A. Dyer, the unfortunate
electric light. man who lost his life
last Saturday is not likely to. be held
before Thursday in order to allow the
arrival Of Mr.. Dyer's father who lives
in a remote part of northwestern
Canada and h cannot reach here un-
til late on Wednesday,.
Superintendent Warner of the Moor
head electric light and waterworks
made as careful an investigation as
possible as to how the accident hap
pened and the following Is what he
says:
Dyer was making a tap on the pri-
mary line. He had made a half tap
and must~haVe- reached around the pole
to cut off the old wire, to complete the
tap. In doing this he a evidently
caught the wrong, wire, grabbing with
his pliers the wire at the opposite side
of the circuit, making a complete cir
cult, and sending a current of $500
volts through his body. Help not be-
ing at han instantly the current CON
tinued to flow through Dyers body
until Dave Edling reached him."
The best hanks of the community
are due to David Edling, who was
working with the unfortunate man,
for his heroic efforts to save Dyer from
death and 1t was done at no small
danger to himself, and when the body
Of his working mate was lowered to
the ground by members of the fire de-
partment whose aid a been called,
Mr.. Edling became nearly prostrated
after the moments Of mental strain
and excitement.

got to the 10-yard line, going ove the
goal line from there by two gains and
an offside penalty.

Ing that the structure would be ready

laying bricks at high pressure and by
night the courses Of bricks and stone
will be up to the top Of the third floor

masons began their part of the work
on the building Oct. II, last.
But for unavoidable delays owing to
the non-arrival of material the new
postoff1ce building is moving along pro-
p~ortionately fast. Very little progress
has been made for two weeks, owing to
delay in the arrival of the granite
work, but the latter arrived yesterday
and was being unloaded today, and,
weather permitting, there will be plen-
ty Of activity on Uncle Sans big

school last Saturday. She is now as

all previous records.
