HITCHCOCK MAY FEAR
TO FIGHT APPOINTMENTS

Lincoln. Neb., July 2s.--Not word
has come from Senator Hitchcock as
70 what he proposes to do about the
Nebraska appointments which the
president made the other day, after
waiting until he grew weary for the
warning factions to compromise. His
followers here believe that he will ac-
quiesce in all of them. The only doubt
they have Is whether he will allow
Judge LOOMS. of Fremont, to become
internal revenue collector. His per-
sonal feeling against LOOMS is strong
because he connects him up as a part
ner of Editor Howard, of Columbus.
who has pursued Hitchcock for years.
Hitchcock is really in position where
he dare not make too hard fight
against any one. He feels that he
needs united party behind him after
he wins the primary nomination next
year, and while he is very anxious to
have some of his own supporters in
the big offices. he cannot make fight
against Bryan men being chosen by
the president and thus array not only
the Bryan men, but the administra-
tion forces against him-and they
might carry the fight to the election.

UNHEALTHY LIFE IN CITIES
Statistics Show That pwelIer. In ".u.
man Dee Hives" Have Shortened
Days Of Existence.

Forty years will soon be the old age
mark for business men IL there does
not come a change In the manner of
living in cities, according to deduc-
lions of DR.. Louis B. Welsmiller, physi-
cal director of the New York West
Side Y. M. c. A. These deductions are
based on the examination of more
than 1000 men during the last year.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the advantage Of a sound
mind In a sound body. the tendency
In large cities, Doctor Welsmiller says,
is to go on demonstrating excessive &C
tivity Of mind. The condition is saia
to be peculiar to hustling business
men. Observation-Disclosures, because Of
the campaign against 1t, has been on
the decrease. while diseases Of the
heart. arteries and kidneys which be-
long normally only to old age, have
been on the increase. until there are
more deaths from the latter than from
tuberculosis.
We are told that life is too tense
and this tense condition is allowed to
hold on too long. A more general re-
gard for the advantage of play that
will cause complete forgetfulness of
business is suggested as the only So
luton of the problem of assuring ra-
.ional health conditions.

LICENSE MONEYS ARE
PROPERTY Of SCHOOL
CHILDREN, HALL SAYS
Practice of Misapplying Funds
Must Stop, State Treasurer
Declares.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 2s.--Legislators
are not to be permitted to toy with
the state constitution as long as George
r. Hall is state treasurer. Mr.. Hall
has been looking over the books and
finds that the legislatures of past years
have been trying to rob the school chill
dren OF the state, and he will put an
end to 1t. The constitution says that
all license fees shall go into the school
fund. Mr.. Hall finds that the only ones
that come his way and find lodg
ment in the school fund are fish and
game licenses. The state issues a num-
Der of licenses to do a number of things.
but the legislature has called these
permits and not licenses, and the
money has gone into other funds, from
which 1t was speedily jerked by anx-
1ous tax spenders. MIR. Hall holds that
the legislature cannot do that with him
and he has announced that hereafter
all licenses fees received under what
ever guise. will go into the school fund
and NOT elsewhere

DANGER OF MONOPOLY ON
SERUM AvERTED BY ROE

Lincoln, Neb., July 2S.-Deputy At
.orney General Roe has amended the
law passed by the last legislature
which intended to give the state live
stock sanitary board control of the dis
tribution and use of hog cholera Sc
rum and virus. AS a matter of fact
the way the bill was passed and signed
the manufacturers of Nebraska are
given monopoly of the sale. The law
says that no serum shall be sold or
shipped unless the person or firm
holds a license from the federal gov
eminent and one from the live stock
sanitary board. The government Ii
cense, however, is one that is issued
only to manufacturers. and If the law
was interpreted as 1T reads it would
restrict to manufacturers only the
right to get a license from the state
board. The attorney general has hand
ed down an opinion In which he says
that as this was manifestly not the in
tent of the legislature. he will hold that
the provision relating to the require
ment of a government license applies
only to manufacturers engaged in pro-
ducng serum and virus, leaving to the
Nebraska live stock board the regu-
lation of distribution and use, as con-
templated in the Nebraska statute
