POSTMASTERS KEEP
BUSY AT LINCOLN
Annual Convention Finds Time
Well Filled With Papers and
Discussions on Work.
OFFICERS MAY ALL HOLD OVER

(From Staff Correspondcnt)
Lincoln. June l4.-(Special,) Me
braska postmasters are enjoying a
fine session at the Lincoln hotel in
this city this week. The association
started yesterday and since then has
kept up a steady business session,
only stopping to cat and sleep,
Today the women of the session
were treated to an automobile ride to
the principal points of interest, the
penitentiary, state farm and other
places.
The convention opened this morn
ing with the crowd singing The Bat
tie Hymn OF the Republic" following
which Rev; Mr.. Chapman prayed for
all the democrats present. A harp
selection by Miss Marjorie Shanefelt
Of Lincoln prepared the way for an
interesting discussion on advantages

son of Norfolk.

mails of the Lincoln office, read
paper, The Parcel Post and Things
in Connection" Following this was
a discussion from the question box,
in charge of Inspector w. M. Coble
OF Omaha.
Missed the Senator.
In the afternoon the convention was
billed for speech from Senator
Hitchcock, but the senator could not
be present, owing to pressing business
in St. Louis. However, the members
were favored with a piano solo by
Miss Louise Misko Of Ord and
reading by Mrs L. E. Evans of Lin
coin. A paper by L. B. Tanney of
the Lincoln money order department
with ano Their discussion from the
question box closed the days session.
1t is said that there is a sentiment
favoring the retention of the present
officers for another year and that an
effort will be made to change the con-
stitution so that the executive COM
mittee may set the date of het con-
vention to any week in June. The
present constitution fixes the specific
date each year and the convention is
up against two very serious handicaps,
according to one of the members.
Many who would have liked to be at
the convention are in St. Louis, while
worse than that, the convention is
melting when there are no ball games
in Lincoln. These two very serious
obstacles to a season of joy will be
fixed so that there will be nothing
after this but the changes coming
from shift from a democratic to
republican administration at Washing
ton to keep present members from
enjoying themselves in the future.

GOVERNOR PEARSON
IS SURE ON THE JOB
Gets His Photograph Taken Sitting
in the Chair, and Otherwise Acts
Like Real Executive
HASN'T STARTED MUCH YET
(From a Staff Correspondent

(From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, June l4.-(Special. Act
ing Governor James Pearson is max
ing hay while the sun shines. He
does not propose to let future pos
terity forget that for a short time
greatest agricultural state in the
Union, and this morning called a
photographer to his office, closed the
door and dared him to do this worst.
What the result will be is not known
just now. Whether the picture taken
OF the present executive was fash
ligh hit showing him snugly filling the
gubernatorial seat, or a motion pic
ture displaying him signing requisi-
tons, extraditions, commissions and
such, will remain a mystery until
such time as the photographers work
is given the spot light.
Has the Habit.
Be that as it may, Governor Pear
son has already got the governor
habit. He reached the office about
the regular governor time this morn
ing, received the anxiously waiting
public in the usual governor way, and
really appears to enjoy the novelty
OF governing the state, although he
has had little to do so far but the
routine work of the office. Yester-
day he affixed his official signature
to permit for visitors to visit the
penitentiary and this morning granted
a requisition asked for by Governor
Capper of Kansas for the return to
that state of a supposed lawbreaker.
Nobody F ired Yet.
The members of the State Railway
commission are doing business at the
old stand, and have nto followed the
orders given them yesterday to secure
bonds or secure another job. Just
what the members of the commission
will do if Governor Pearson and At
torney General Reed declare them
non compus mentis pluribus unum
or something like that, and they have
to quit. Taylor sold his newspaper
soon after assuming the office of
commissioner, and therefore would
be in hard luck. Hall has got entirely
out of touch with the law business,
although he has gained great deal
of experience in running an automo-
bile and might get job as chauffeur
somewhere, while Clarke would have
no visible means of support as he
has been on the commission so long
he would have to start all over new.
Perhaps that is the reason that
Governor Pearson is not pushing his
proposition of the commissioners 60

securing bonds.
