KING STANDS HIGH
IN HIS PROFESSION
John Lee Webster Has Been
National Figure in Politics,
Also, for Many Years.
LEADS HISTORICAL SOCIETY

John Lee Webster, twenty-seconl
in the line of Ak-Sar-Ben kings, was
born in Harrison county, Ohio, Marc1
10, 1847. He is veteran of the civil
war, having served in the union ARM
in one of the Ohio regiments.
He studied law in Pittsburgh, after
the war, and came to Omaha in 1860,
Previous to the outbreak of the war,
however, he had been graduated from
Mount Union college, Ohio.
Ability, energy and ambition were
his only resources when he arrived III
the little burg of Omaha, back III
1866. He was elected to the legisla-
ture in 1873, and was member OF
the constitutional convention OF 1876,
of which body he was chosen presi-
dent.
He has steadily since that time,
taken an active interest in the poll
tics of the state and nation.
Stands High at the Bar.
In law he attained an enviable rank
among the lawyers of the west, and is
one of the most successful practition-
ers at the bar. He has been connected
with litigations that have attracted
nationwide attention, notable among
these being the Ponca Indian case,
which first drew the attention OF the
people TO the rights of these Indians,
leading afterward to national legisla-
ton. He was also counsel for the
defendant in the Boyd-Thayer case,
involving the question of citizenship;
and many other notable cases.
He has been president of the Ne
braska State Historical society for
number of years, and was chairman
of the general committee of 100, from
all parts of the state, having in charge
the celebration this year of the semi
centennial of Nebraska's admission to
statehood. In this connection he was
largely instrumental in working out
the general scheme for the big histori-
cal parade, which delighted quarter
OF million people in Omaha, Thurs
day, and was considered by President
Wilson of sufficient moment to in
duce him to leave his presidential
duties and come to Omaha to review
the pageant.
Real Beu Brummel.
Mr. Webster is known for his sar.
torial elegance. His vests are ex-
quisite and his artistic temperament
finds expression even in the match
ing of neckties with his other articles
of wear. Somebody referred to him
as sartorial harmony. His friends
have gone SO far as to mention him
as Omaha's Beau Brummel. He
blends gracious personality with his
tasty forgery.
When he received the wife of the
president at the reviewing stand
Thursday afternoon and escorted her
to seat there were many who said
the ceremonies could not have been
done more CALAMITY.
He has been one of the leaders Of
the Friends of Art and has been I'M
firing in his efforts to advance art in
this city. He carries the artistic idea
into his personal appearance.

SUCCESS.

A prize for the best definition
of the word success was award
ed to western woman who sub
mitted the following:
"He has achieved success who
has lived well, laughed often. and
loved much; who has gained the
respect of intelligent men and
women and the love of children :;
who has filled his niche and ac-
cOmplished his task: who has left
the world better than they found
it whether by an improved pop
ky, a perfect poem CT a rescued
soul; who never lacked apprecia-
ton of earth's beauty or failed to
express it; who has always look
ed for the best in others and Civ
en- the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration, whose men,
Dry a benediction."

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The old manner Of electing a
president was quite different from
the present plan. In the early
days the process was for each
elcctor to cast two votes for
vhosover he chose. When these
votes were counted the man re-
cciving the highest number was
declared president, and the man
receiving the next highest was
automatically vice president.
There was no previous nominat-
ing conventions and published
platforms. The popular candi-
dates were bunchcd' for the
voting, and they told their views
in speeches and later on through
the newspapers.
In the first election, in 1899,
WASHINGTON received 60 votes and
John Adams "a, none Of the other
ten candidates receiving over
nine. Thus were chosen our first
high officials.
This process of selection con-
tinued until 1900, when Thomas
Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied
with 73 votes each, and the house
Of representatives had to make
the choice. which resulted in JEFF
ferson for president and Burr
for vice president.
Aaron Burr was the last vice
president selected by this second
choice plan. Before another
election the constitution was
changed so that the electors voted
for a president and a vice presi-
dent together. Under this amend
ment Jefferson went to his Sec
ond administration, with George
Clinton as vice president. They
the republican ticket,
while their adversaries were the
federalists. Since those days the
voting has been on party lines

THE HOG AND THE MAN.

The inhumanity of man" is
thus philosophically portrayed
by one who had evidently "been
there" When one hog gets an
ear Of corn every hog will trot
along behind him and squeal and
beg and is ready for bite, but
Just let that hog get his head
fastened in q crack. and every son
of a sow will jump on and help
tear him to pieces. Just so it is
with men. As long as a man is
prosperous and it is known that
he has money, he can't keep his
friends off with a baseball bat.
The moment he is unfortunate
and his health is gone, he is not
only snubbed by former friends,
but many of them will proceed
to do him all the harm possible.
When a man starts down grade
the world steps to one side and
RreaSes the track.-Ex.
