EXPECT EXTRA
SESSION WILL
LAST.bUT WEEK
Intention of Governor to In
cIude Present Code Law
May Take Few Days
Additional Time.

Lincoln, July with special
session of the legislature in sight,
some people are. wondering how
long it will be in session. Gener-
ally speaking, it is the impression
OF those high in authority that the
session will last only week.
The intention of the governor to
incorporate in the call matter which
will give the session a right to rem
ady defects in the present code law,
will perhaps cause the legislature
10 run a little longer.
Politics Makes Strange Bedfollows.
The democratic propaganda be-
hind the referendum on the code bill
has developed some curious condi-
tons. 1t has also demonstrated
again that politics makes strange
bedfellows." A year ago Promoter

II working to carry out the ideas
Of Mr.. Mullen, under his direction,
that if the code bill becomes oper-
alive it will build up a political ma
chine for a republican governor.
The democratic promoters of the
referendum seem to have forgotten
that two democratic governors
recommended to the same number
of democratic legislatures that
something ought to be done. These
legislatures found it so easy to
wobble along in the old rut that
they simply passed the buck along
and it remained for a republican
convention to take for granted that
two governors in succession, demo-
Gratis though they were, who had
discovered the weaknesses of Ne
braska's business system, ought to
know what they were talking about
and had the courage to put in the
state platform of the republican
party plank which in substance
was the thing which democratic
governors had tried to make demo-
cratic legislature enact into law and
they had not the business principle
or discernment to do so.
Republicans Fulfill Promise.
After placing that plank in the
platform, republican candidates for
state offices and the legislature,
went before the people and told
them that they would enact that
promise into law if they were
\ elected. They were elected and
true to the promise enacted that
plank into law.
Now the democratic politicians
who refuse to carry out recon-
mendations of two democratic
governors, form an organization to
! keep that promise, after being en-
acted into law, from going into eff
feet.

remained there until the boys had
had their fun.
Fifty years ago Ogallala was a
wide open town. There was not the
respect for observance of the law
that is found today. Then the man
who was first to draw his gun was
the leading citizen of the town, or at
least he was so far as the wild and
tough element was concerned. The
town being wide open, saloons and
various kinds of drink emporiums
fourished. There were dance halls
and gambling places and the ma lori
ty of the women were not members
of the set that you would care to
have as companions for your moth
ers, wives and daughters. They were
hand painted fairies" and tough.
However, time has brought
changes to the entire central west
and in Ogallala none of the re-
minders of the cowboy days remain.
Still, at the celebration there will be
many reminders of the past, but
they will all be shorn of the rough
and tough features.
Leaders Among Cattlemen.
In the days OF the old Texas
Trail and when the cattle drive
from the south was an annual af-
fair, there were many men living i'll
Ogalala, or who went there who
have since helped to make the name
of Nebraska household word all

Many of them have since been call

To commemorate the days of the
old Texas Trail and to correctly
portray western life as it was lived
on the range 50 years ago, the peo-
pie of Ogallala, Neb., July 3 to 5,
inclusive, will stage genuine
roundup" at which time there will
be a program of entertainment that
will bring back to the minds of the pi-
oneers vivid recollections of the peri
cd when instead of being the bread
basket of the world, Nebraska was
on the frontier that was then, so to
speak, wild and woody.
During the three days of the cele
bration there will be displays of ex-
pert horsemanship, broncho busting,
bucking, steer riding, steer roping
and bull logging. In fact, there
will be everything that was ever at
tempted by the cowboys of other
days.
Old Timers to Ride.
The Ogallala show is going to be
the real thing But few of the real
cowboys remain and the few OF the
real ones who still ride the range
will gather at Ogallala to give peo-
pie of this generation something Of
an idea of what riding the range
meant half century ago.
Probably there is no place on the
face of the earth where it would be
more fitting to celebrate or COM
memorate the days of the old Texas
Trail" than in Ogallala, for there. for
10 to II years prior to the time when
the onrush of settlers broke up the
range cattle business, buyers and
sellers of range cattle met in great
numbers.
Ogallala was sort of a central
point 1t was the northern terminal
of the trail that came up from Texas
and through Oklahoma, Indian ter
ritory and Kansas. At the same
time it was the point where the cat
tie barons of Nebraska, South Da-
kota, Wyoming and Montana gath
cred to make their purchases of long
horned Texas steers that each spring
were driven up from the Lone Star
state by hundreds of thousands.
Ogallala was the meeting place
for the cattle men from north and
south and it was also the meeting
place for the cowboys from these
two sections of country. They were
all good scouts. but when they met
there was always something doing,
at least, so far as the cowboys were
concerned. Being expert revolver
shots, these cowboys took great de-
light in displays of craftsmanship
and when making these displays, the
townsman, or tenderfoot, if he used
