The Omens From Nebraska

NHE result or the senatorial primaries IN
Nebraska accords with that in other
States where the issue between -eac-
tionary and liberal politics has been clearly
drawn. AS in Indiana, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, and elsewhere, the forces of reaction
went down in whelming defeat
The Republican contest in Nebraska was
between Albert w. Jeffries, now a member
G Congress and a stanch supporter of the
Old Guard; Clarence A. Davis, Attorney Gen
eral of the State, and of more liberal inc1i-
nations; ard r. B. Howell, who waged
his campaign as a "forward-looking Repub-
lican," with platform Of Progressive" poll
cies. Mr.. Howell won. The leading candi-
date ir the Democratic primary was Senator
Gilbert Hitchcock whose steadfast loyalty to
President Wilson's principles in the closing
seasons of the latter's administration will be
ever memorable The Senator was re-nomi-
mated over both Ills opponents by tower
ing majority.
These results are typical of popular senti-
ment throughout The country. Two SOLDERING
years have brought the mind of the American
public back from that pell-mell, nervous re-
action into which the aftermath Of war times
betrayed it. Then progress was repudiated
for "normalcy," but now the error Of that
grievous turning back is manifest. Whether
in the Republican p: 'ty or in the Democrat
J. party, in the proverbially &C sentative East
or the naturally free-thinking West, the tide
appears to be turnin again to those liberal
ideas and impulses which ever have been and
ever will be Americas true SELF

Welcome to the G;deons

A TLANTA cordially welcomes that ad-
n miraDle company of Christian COM
mercial travellers, the Gideons, who
are gathered together from all parts of
America for their twenty-third annual con-
vention. 1t was in crowded hotel at Bos-
cobel, Wisconsin, in the year 1899 that this
interesting brotherhood had it's genesis
through the conversation of two guests,
hitherto strangers, who found it needfu1 to
share lodging for the night. Both were
statesmen who were continually on the road;
both were keenly observant and of construc-
tive minds; both were workmanly believers
in the truth, "Inasmuch as re have done it
unto one~of the least of these my brethren,
We have done it unto me-" Thus came to
them tn, idea that subsequently found or
gained and potent expression in the Gideons
"a band of commercial travellers true to the
faith and the spirit of the hero after whom
they called.
A keen strategist was Gideon, as we'll as
man Of valor; careful to knov his ground be-
fore going ahead; canny judge of human
nature, separating the lukewarm and the
slackers from those who grappl. life's issues
with staunch and quickened hearts. He knew
how to command, because he knew how to
obey; he was mighty in courage, because he
was mighty in faith and being rich in wis
dom, he was rich in humility. An apt and
excellent ideal he for those commercial
travellers, now numbering many thousands,
whose Christianity is part and parcel Of their
business, and who earn the confidence of
their houses, their comrades and their trade
not merely by what they profess, but by what
they do.
To recount the labors of this servceable
order during its three and twenty years of
activity would require columns, indeed vol
umes; and beyond it's measurable good
stream influences that are viewless and ST.
lent but infinitely creative. Atlanta deems
it a rare privilege to have them as guests.
She honors the spirit in which they come,
and wishes them overbrimming success in
the work to which they are given.

MY. FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

Fourth or July was supposed to be holt
day In certain garrison, of the regular army
out west, but grizzled old sergeant named
Kelly, in charge Of the guard house, had his
own ideas about this holiday notion. After
breakfast he ordered all his prisoners to line
up outside their pris' quarters. When they
fell in he stationed himself faci4g them and
made a short speech:
There is no doubt in me own mind" he
said, "but that a good many of you men
should not be prisoners at all. You've neg.
lected your opportunities, that's all. Some
here has had education and should make
good company clerks. Maybe there's some
others amongst you who'd like to be company
BARRIERS and earn little money on the side"
A murnur Of assent ran through the lines.
Now thin,'' went on Sergeant Kelly, "all
you men who are educated or who think ye
cud learn to do paper work. step two PAGES
to the front.
About half of the prisoners come forward.
Now thin, all who'd like to learn the bar
BERN business advance two PAGES"
All save two moved toward him with
alacrity.
The sergeant addressed the remaining
pair:
WudL ulu Tue TWO OF you 90 DS1Or0 you
Joined the army?" he asked.
1--WE was laborin's men," answered one,
speaking for both.
Very well, thin, all you educated guys
take these here gunnysacks and pick up every
scrap OF paper around the parade grounds.
And the rest Of you, who want to learn bar
berlin, you grab these here lawn mowers and
cut grass until tell you to leave. You two
laborin' men kin go back inside the tent and
take nap"

SIR HARRY SOUELCHED HER

There was an unprecedented sensation at
the Pavilion theater, in Piccadillycircus,
when Sir Harry Lauder publicly rebuked a
girl, sitting in box, who interrupted him,
the Daily London Express says.
The famous comedian was singing his
first song, and interspersing the verses with
his inimitable "patter," when the girl, one
of party of six persons occupying a box
to the right of the stage, audibly repeated
many of his words, to the annoyance of
both the performer and the audience
Sir Harry Lauder put up with the girls
astonishing behaviour for time, but as she
continued to interrupt, his forbearance at
last gave way, and he came to stop. He
paused for a moment, while the whole au-
dience became hushed, and then, looking
at the girl in the box, he said, so that every
one could hear:
Lady, I think you have been drinking
more than water, and more shame to the
man that let you have it,"
The audience was astounded by the in
cident, and the girl in the box gave no
more trouble.

lumber from the Pacific Coast or perhaps
from Siberia?''
Farmers compose but one of scores Of
classes of large consumers of lumber. Peach
orchardists, it is estimated, require some
twenty-five million board feet annually for
crates; and the needs Of truck growers in
this connection are continually increasing.
In all the State there is scarce an industry
of Importance that does not consume lumber,
nor is there business or household that is
not concerned in the supply Of this necessity
and the prices. Consider its Importance,
its exceeding Importance, to home builders
alone, and through them to the highest in
terests of the Commonwealth.
With all these needs swiftly multiplying,
and with our sources of timber supply even
more swiftly on the decline, what is to be
done? By way Of answer the Forestry
Board first points out that notwithstanding
the certain and early end of the virgin
growth, 1.-The State Is still rich in possessing
within its boundaries vast areas Of forest
land not suited or needed for agricultural
use;" that Georgia Is blessed not only with
a soil of wondrous forest productivity, but
also with long growing seasons, and with
native species which can be made to yield
commercial crops within from twenty-five to
fifty years. Further, 1--WE are fortunate in
agement Of our forest lands comparatively
simple If we but exercise that simple man
agement, which, your committee believes,
embodies the first steps in solving our for
adequate legislation without delay, are sum-
married. as:
(1) The control and regulation of for
est fires and the development of pub
lie sentiment which recognizes the men
ace of forest fires and will cooperate in
stamping them out.
(2) The stopping Of the destruction
of young pine timber by improper and
ruthless. methods Of turpentining. Your
committee believes the naval stones in
dustry will readily cooperate in placing
fair and reasonable restrictions upon
operators.
CD The general education of the peo-
pie of the State to the value of our
forests and our forest lands, their place
and Importance in our economic lives
and our dependency upon their products,
to the end that there may be developed
a sane and enlightened public attitude
with respect to our forest situation and
its urgency as a public problem.
In it's efforts to carry out these wise poll
cies for the common veal, the Forestry
Board merits earnest support both from the
General Assembly and from the public rank
and file. It's preparation of this thought
arousing report is a service of inestimable
value and will mark, we believe, an epoch
in the States prosperity and forward going
The Board has pointed the way; let due
legislation follow

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

Rose cuttings three to six inches long
from new wood will often root readily in
tin cans which have been filled with leaf
mould and sand. In fact, many climbing
roses will root if new shoots attached to
the plants are laid on the ground and
covered with earth. Climbing roses give
better results than bush roses when
started in this way because the latter are
never very satisfactory if grown on their
own roots. Most of the roses bought from
the nurserymen have been budded on
stronger growing stock. The popular
climbing rose, Dorothy Perkins, is one Of
the easiest to increase

QUlPS AND QUIDDITIES
It was his wedding day.

1t was his wedding day.
Radiant in the newest of outfits he start

man.
But his shoes hurt his pet corn and 1t
looked as though he would have to hobble I'D
the aisle.
The best man had an inspiration and
stopped at store where large pair of shoes
was purchased.

A teacher found it difficult to make boy

Finally, however, she succeeded, and drawing
long breath, remarked:

greatest donkey in this town.
1t was past II. The old man entered the
parlor and, approaching his daughters ad-
mirer said Young man, do you know
what time it is?" The timid man leaped to
his feet and stammering "Y-y-yes," hurried
into the hall and into the night.
The old man stood bewildered. That's a

off in that fashion? My watch had stopped
and I merely wanted the time so I could set

Smith, having learned from an obliging
neighbor that his wife was at a movie with
another man, rushed to the theater and ap-

and his own patronage, went out to the stage
and announced: "There is present in the au-

Just as the Natrona county people and bar respect
Judge Ralph KimbaI. who is also serving an ap-
pointive term and is to be a candidate for election.
The people and the legal fraternity OF Cheyenne
thoroughly appreciate the services of Judge Potter
and have urged his retention upon the bench for a
number of years and the state has so honored him
The Wyoming supreme court as at present constl-
tuted, with all due respect to tho eminent gentlemen
who have served upon it, is the strongest and best
balanced court Wyoming has ever had. The mem
hers POSSESS the highest qualifications. are Of unim-
p~eachable character and ideal citizenship
One member is an authority upon procedure, an
other upon evidence, the third upon the law and a
skiIlful writer of opinion. Taken as a court 1t is
industrious, and its docket shows nothing but current
matters. Its decisions are accepted with respect and
its opinions held sound
It VIII be to the best interests Of Wyoming to

ysrious bar associations of the state could do no
better work than to pass cordial resolutions of endorse
