A YERS HOLDS
BACK ANSWER TO
M'KELVIE Def
Democratic Agent Who Is
Pushing Fight Against Code
Law Has Not Accepted
Challenge Of Governor.

Lincoln, May 8.-Fred c. Ayers,
general promulgator of the plan of
the democrats, to discredit the work
OF republican legislature by in
voking the referendum so that the
people will not have chance to
try out the laws to see if they are
good, has not yet accepted the
challenge of Governor McKelvie to a
joint debate on the merits of the
administrative code law.
Mr.. Ayers is willing to admit that
as debater he is not III the same
class with the governor and prob
ably recognizes the fact also that
the man who goes up against Gov.
Samuel Roy McKelvie in a joint
debate on the code bill has got to
have reputation as speaker,
scrapper in logic and a general
knowledge of the bill in general.
Mr.. Ayers will issue statement
in day or so in which he will
discuss the matter of discussion
and probably attempt to switch the
anti side of the matter to some man
who knows more about the bill than
he does.
Anyway it is generally believed
that the man who takes on the gov
ernor in a debate of this kind has
a full-sized mans job On his hands
and that wherever the debate is
held the S. R. o. sign will have
to be put out early in the game.

Give Dome of State House
New Coat of Gold Paint

Lincoln, May S.-Two hundred
feet above the earth Thursday, a
man was gliding the ball on the top
OF flagstaff in front of the state
house bright gold.
In I'VE olden time" when the
democrats were in power in Ne
braska and William Jennings Bryan
was touring the country telling OF,
the glories of free silver at ratio
of 10 to one, the state administration
which was in sympathy with Mr..
Bryan had the dome of the state
house painted silver. No attempt
has been made since to change the
color of the dome, only that time
and the elements have made their
mark upon it just the same as they
have upon the free silver arguments
of the boy Orator of the Platte"
and so Land Commissioner Dan
Swanson, who never fell for the 16
to one proposition, is gliding the big
ball on the top of the flagstaff
bright golden color as an offset to
the dilapidated looking silver dome
or the old building.

IocaI Observations.
cuisines Men Lack Confidence

New York Commercial: American
businessmen are addicted to the vice
of canceling orders. Manufacturers
book orders for more than they can
deliver and their trade customers
order more than they can distribute.
When the market advances jobbers
and retailers demand full deliveries
because they have speculative pro-
fit in sight. When the market breaks
the buyers cancel orders and then
turn round and offer to take what
they actually need on a lower basis.
The cure for this is simple, but both
sides seem to prefer the loose method
that has been in vogue for half a
century. Had everybody in the dry
goods trade known that he would
have 10 deliver or accept goods as
ordered, the retailers would have dis.
