LINCOLN, Dec. 4.-(Special)-It is evil
dent that the democrats are not going to
let the grass grow under their feet when
it comes time to make appointments for
places now being filled by republicans.
State officers who will compose the new
board of equalization and assessment
have had a meeting and have decided to
elect o. E. Bernicker of Seward to the
position of secretary of the state board.
The place had been filled for over five
years by Henry Seymour, a republican,
who died about week ago and his place
was filled by the appointment of J. ".
Craig. However. Mr. Craig is slated to
be one of the first to lose his official
head. 1t is expected that other heads
will be Topped off just as soon as the
democratic guilotine is working.
1t is said that one democratic official
elect who desired to keep some of the
old clerks for a time until the new ones
had learned the ropes, has been notified
that efficiency in office work must not
count, but that democrats must have the
jobs.

UTILIZING THE FARMERS
 AUTOMOBILE

Hitching an automobile to a blow has been tried with more or less suc- cess, but a newly invented tractor makes it possible to keep a light car steadily employed for such heavy work, without undue strain upon the machine. Any pleasure car of medium horsepower can be used for the pur- pose, so that the farmers automobile, which carries him to town as a pleas ure vehicle, can be hitched to the blow
 when not used for travelling on the road. The tractor which makes this possible is tWo-wheel affair with a mechanism for reducing the gear, so that the speed is brought down to about four miles, while the engine runs at rate that would be equiva- lent to twenty five mile gait. The power is increased in preparation as the speed is reduced, and in this way the pulling power is tremendous, be-

 Said Mir. Barnum yesterday: Yes, business is a little quiet now, but We need to take advantage of the lull to place our plant in shape to handle the rush that will come this fall. eW had to increase our room very materially to accommodate an added speciality, the waterproofing plant, and we can use the present time very nicely for adding equipment which we are doing, realiz- ing that the little dullness now, is sure to be -olloWed by increased activity. Another item, which is significant is that our stenciled specialties with Phoenix on them are travelling all over the world'

 President Wilson
lAssoc1ArED PRESS DispArcHl

WASHINGTON, August 14.-Al- though there was no formal expres- sion from the administration officials it became known today that the president and Secretary Bryan are opposed to floating any loans in the United States for the benefit of any belligerent powers in Europe.
 Both the president and Mr B'-yan have studied the situation arising out of the inquiry of J. P. Morgan & Co. as to what would be the atti- tude of the administration in case certain banking interests which had approached them should try to float a loan for the French government.
 MT. Bryan would not discuss the subject, referring inquiress to the bankers for information. Later when a statement was issued by Morgan & Co., and shown to MT. Bryan, he said, We have no announcement to make"
 In view of the estimation of the Morgan statement that the state de- partment might desire to refrain from any expression of opinion so as not to commit the government to any policy, Secretary Bryan was asked if his reticence was to be in terpreted to mean that nothing more would be said about it by the de . partment.
 T cannot say anything about the future" he answered.
 Persons close to the administra- ton said there would probably be no expression on the subject because of a desire not to offend, even by inference. the French government, which happened to be mentioned as the prospective borrOWer. It is nev- ertheless generally understood that the president and Bryan disapprove of the idea of loaning money in any form to any of the belligerents, whether the money be used as credit for the purchase of American pro- ducts, or for the ultimate purchase of war supplies.

OUR ABSURD JUSTICE

A poor doWn-and -outec has been sent to the penitentiary for two years for repeating" in the recent wherein the street railway company got an extra nineteen years to it's franchise.
 Within a week the paper value of the stocks of the company increased five million dollars in value. This unthinkable sum will hardly prove of solace to that tempted
 creature who confessed that for a raltry $2 he helped to give away the
 streets of the people of the Missouri
 metropolis He may think of it, per haps-but he may be sure that those
 sleek, fattened masters of finance,
 whose tool he was, will never think
 of him, as he tolls away his life in the jute mills.
 So absurd and antiquated are our methods of dealing with real crime that the courts never. look beyond
 the bundle of rags which was caught red handed in his illicit quest for food
 It did not ask who hired him. It did not trace the trail that might have led to the mahogany offices wherein 1 the crime was planned. The police took the s2 from the repeater. They did not take the
 millions away from the big looters | It is still a matter of shame that our civilization has not yet put
 money and jail into the same diction-
 ary when referring to the theft of public franchises.
 If there is any satisfaction to be had from looking at the pitiful spec
 tacle of a hungry tramp behind bars
 the people of Kansas City may have it-while reaching into their pock-
 cts for more nickels to pay interest
 on stolen millions.-Toledo News

SNAKE EMPTIES STATION

Frightened by the sudden appear ance of a rattlesnake eight feet long crawling across the floor of the wait ing-room, several hundred persons were thrown into a semi-panic in Broad Street Station early last even ing The discovery of the snake was made almost simultaneously by a score of persons, and it was not necessary to give the alarm more than once. Amid the shrieks of frightened women. commuters and travellers fled hurriedly for the exits, and in a re- markedly short time both the waiting room and train-shed lobby of the big station were deserted, except for the snake and a few courageous trainmen
 The snake, apparently as badly scared as were the fleeing thrOngs, also attempted to make a getaway. After a short struggle, c. w. Stevens and David Roberts, two employees of the station, captured the reptile on the bridge over Market street, and placed it in a bag. They took it to the city hall, but the police authorities refused to take charge of it. Arrangements were then made to send the rattler to the Zoo. It took some time before quiet was restored in the station. Elm ployees of the terminal declared that it made them shudder to think what would have happened had the snake wandered into the bar attached to the station restaurant.
 It is believed that the snake arrived here in an express car containing a consignment of fruit. Railroad off cials declare that no shipments of snakes have been made here recently Philadelphia Record, July 14

Nightfail

The day dies, The last faint ember of the setting sun Goes out; and long, dark Night comes
 on apace. A stiffness wraps the world in solemn
 thought No song bird no rustic of the breeze Disturbs the sacred silence of the hour. On rapid wing. a solitary dove Pursues her lonely and belated flight To eastward skies o'ercast with leaden
 clouds, So white so sad, so lost in such a sky! Her course is straight and swift as ar-
 rows flight And darkness swallows up the white
 winged bird. A star peeps out-and Night is on the world.

ing equal to a ten-horse team in plow- ing or cultivating. The tractor is composed of a massive frame upon which the rear half of the automobile is lifted bodily, the back wheels of the car being six inches above the ground. This leaves very little strain on the front wheels, as they merely steer the outfit, and there is no excessive wear upon the tires. Of course, the rear tires receive no wear at all. The gear on the rear wheel of the automobile is bolted upon the hub. The tractor wheels are six feet in diameter and of very broad tread which may be wider or narrower according to the nature of the ground on which it works. To this is attached the blow, cultivators. or other farm machinery.-St. Nicho- las.

CAN'T GET KITCHENER TO TALK
British Field Marshal a Hard Sub-
 ject for Reporters Efforts.

Many have been the attempts to interview Lord Kitchene.c About these the best story is that of the Yankee who handed his card to the general when he returned from South Africa, with the remark, Sir, I rep resent that paper"
 How interesting responded Lord kitchene:, turning his back on the would be interviewer
 Another story comes from Aber- deen. Lord Kitchener was discovered one morning at Aberdeen station, having arrived there on his way to Balmoral by the night express The youngest reporter of the evening paper was on the platform, and ap- preached the great man, explaining that he represented d local journal. Glad to meet you,' said his lord ship. Now tell me, do you know Aberdeen well?' "Yes,' said the youth, delighted to find his victim so complaisant Excellent" said Lord Kitchener. ''Then you can tell me where l can find a good barber one who really slaves we'll" "Oh, yes" replied the newspaper man. and he led his lordship to a barbers shop. His lordship thanked him much but the youth interposed with a request that he might state he had spoken to Lord Kitchener. He hoped for more of an interview.
 "Ce.tainly," responded the field marshal heartily. and you can add that you are the most obliging and intelligent inhabitant of Aberdeen I have ever meti" The lad went back to his editor rather shamfacedly with his tale, but the expert was enthu- siastic. "Write every word" he com manded, and himself supplied a string of headlines, in which Lord Kitchener in Aberdeen-Interview with our representative this morn | ing were the least.
