kosh in Deuel couuty in 1912, accord
ing to The Herald of that town. 1,200
will make a good little town if they are
all "livo ones."
It is now conceded by persons who
arc inteiosted in sooing the North
' Platte valley branch of tho Union Pa
cific miss Goiing, as well as by the
friends of tho town, that the road will
probably be built into that place this
year.
It may as well be understood now as
any other time that county option does
uot moan prohibition. It simply moans
that a larger number qf interested
voters shall docidu the question of li
cense or no-license in a community. It
will ho found whan the matter is put
up to the people to decide that theie
are many who favor county option but
who arc not prohibitionists.
Although the re-election of the
present county treasurer is generally
conceded, it will uot be without a con
test. John Pilkington has filed for the
republican nomination and makes his
public announcement in this issue of
The Herald. He is an old-timer of
Box Butte couuty, was at one time on
gaged in business in Alliance, and has
a large acquaintance among the voters.
Our acquaintance with Mr. Pilkington
has been short, but we hear him well
spoken of, and should the unexpected
happen in the election of county treas
urer, he will, no doubt, make a faithful
official.
The need of a nonpartisan judiciary
in Nebraska is emphasized by the de
cision of the partisan court declariug
the nonpartisan law unconstitutional,
n a technicality so thin that it cannot
te seen by the naked eye, making the
use of partisan spectacles necessary in
order to behold It. Tho said partisan
decision may insure tho re election of
tho members of the partisan court that
rendered it and again it may not.
Thero is an increasing number of re
publicans in this state who arc becom
ing disgusted with the machine tactics
used to defeat tho will of the people;
in recent elections a number of them
have shown their disgust at the polls,
and unless wo aro mistaken a larger
number of them will do so at future
elections.
If next winter you find you have to
pay more for a suit of clothes or an
overcoat than you bought the last
ones for, don't blame tho clothing
dealer. It won't bo his fault; and
don't blame tho shocman if ho charges
you more for tho same kind ot shoes
you've been buying for $3. Neither
Will it be just to find fault with the
butcher because your meat bills will be
higher the coming winter than they
were last year. The tradesmen will
not bo to blame for higher prices on
any of these necessities. The Aldrich
tariff is tho little joker that is going to
make the workingtnan's dollar look like
30 cents, Hurrah for protection!
Among the announcements of can
didates this week is that of Ora E.
Phillips, county superintendent. We
had hoped that he would be a non
partisan candidate for reelection, un
der tho law passed by tho democratic
legislature last winter one of the best
laws over enacted relative to our pub
lic school system but as that law has
been put out of commission, tempor
arily, at least, Mr, Phillips submits his
name to the primaries for nomination.
Ho has served the schools of Box Butte
couuty faithfully so far during his
term of office, and we aro pleased that
there is no opposition to his re elec
tion, although we very much regret
that he cannot bo a nonpartisan candi
date for that office.
A Patriotic Offer
Mr. Taft, with good grace or other
wise, has finally adopted Mr. Bryan's
recommendation to submit to the states
an amendment of the national consti
tution authorizing congress to enact au
income tax law, and it remains now for
Mr. Taft to sign a bill to that effect.
Mr. Bryan has addressed a letter to
President Taft, reminding him that
last year he publicly declared in favor
of amending the constitution providing
for tho election of United States sena
tors by popular vote. Mr. Bryan asks
the President if this would not he an
opportune time to present the subject
of an additional amendment to the
constitution that for choosing sena
ators by a direct vote of the people?
Ho tells President Taft that two con
stitutional amendments, one author
izing an income tax and another pro
viding for the popular election of sena
tors would make his administration
memorable. Mr. Bryan promises
whatever lies in his power toward se
curing ratification of the two amend
ments. Is President Taft equal to the op
portunity for gaining the impregnable
confidence of the American people, by
acting affirmatively on Mr. Bryan's
magnanimous offer?
Creating Public Sentiment
The following extract from letters
front the state president of a new pro
hibition state expresses thoughts that
are also applicable to conditions in li
cense states:
The work of the V. C. T. U. through
all the years of its beautiful existence has
boen largest done bv the creation of pub
lic sentimont ia favor of the measures we
advocate. Then, public sentiment created,
the rest follows a a matter of course.
Now one of the must important works be
fore us is 10 hlp create a public senti
ment that will demand tho enforcement of
our prohibitory laws, and other righteous
laws.
The mayor of one town says that the
easiest laws enforced are the prohibitory
laws. The reason it is so is that there is
a strong sentiment in favor of law-enforcement.
It is so strong that it forces
the election of men to the town offices
mayor and alderman who are in favor of
enforcing these and other laws, and they
are enforced. And they will be enforced
in other towns when officers are elected
who are in favor of their enforcement.
And when you find that your laws are
constantly and flagrantly violated., you
may know absolutely that it is because
the men elected to office in your town are
not doing their duly.
This work of sentiment making should
be carried on by the same kind of crusad
ing that created tho sentiment in favor of
prohibition Keep it before the people in
various ways through the W. C. T. U.
column in the paper. Get the editor of
the paper to help you in his editorial col
urns. Talk to your ministers about it.
aud get them to preach sermons on the
subject. Have mass meetings in favor of
law enforcement, and have them addressed
by able speakers. Talk it privately and
publicly among your friends that the law
is being violated, and that it ought to be
enforced. Distribute literature on the
subject of law-enforcement and prohibi
tion. Keep your town warm with this
subject until the people arise in their
might, and see that the law is enforced.
And, keep in mind always that there will
be no trouble in getting the law enforced,
if you have officials elected who are in
favor of enforcing those laws. If you
have not such officials, there is very little
you can do to enforco the laws alone,
when they will not help. But your work
in that case is the work outlined above of
creating such a sentiment in favor of law
enforcement, that the people will put men
in office who will enforce these laws.
Sometimes it is a long route, but -one char
acteristic of onr organization has ever
been patience. They find out what is to
be done, and then keep everlastingly at it
until it is done. That is the secret of our
long list of successes. It seemed a long
way around to attain our object when we
set out to secure prohibition "by educating
the children of the nation in the princi
pals of total abstinence and prohibition.
That work began more than twenty-five
years ago. But because the V. C. T. U.
began that work twenty-five years ago, we
are now reaping the glorious victories of
the present time. So in this case, how
ever hopeless it may seem to get the laws
enforced in your town, take up the iwork
of creating sentiment in favor of law-enforcement,
and keep the subject constant
ly before your people, and in the end the
victory will come to you.
Trouble Brewing in Republican Camp.
Many of the Republican papers have
had a good deal to say since the ad
journment of the last session of the
legislature in regard to prospective
democratic candidates for governor,
United States senator, etc., and with
a very knowing air assume to inform
their readers who's who in democratic
state politics iu Nebraska; but we opine
that before tho next biennium rolls
'round there'll be enough trouble in
the republican camp to demand their
attention. Candidates representing
the different factious, believing that
the early bird stands the best chance
of catching the gubernatorial worm,
are already lining up for next year's
campaign.
State Senator M. L. Fries of Valley
county is one of the first to shy his
caster into the ring. He is out with
the following letter, dated July 1,; oud
addressed to Thos. Darnell, attorney
for the Nebraska Anti-Saloon league
which is desigued to let the dear peo
pie know where he is at, or, to speak
more grammatically but not less em
phatically, it will give the anti-saloon
voters of the republican party of the
state information as to his attitude to
wards the all-absorbing question of
couuty option:
Arcadia, Nebr., July 1, 1909
Hon. Thomas Darnell,
Dear Sir:
I have your letter of June 2Sth asking
me if I expected to be a candidate for
Governor next year. Will say in reply
that I do expect to bo a candidate.
There are three matters that are vitally
important to the people of the state that I
expect especially to stand for, viz:
1. County Option.
2. Rigid enforcement of the laws.
3. Strict economy in public expendi
tures. 1. I believe it is right that the people
of a county should say whether or not it
should have a saloon within its borders.
I believe the saloon to be the chief cause
of most of our criminal prosecutions. The
people of the county in all the prosecu
tions foot the bills, therefore the people of
the county should have a right to determine
if they want the saloon,
2. All laws on the statute books should
be either unforced or repealed. All bad
laws should be repealed. All good laws
should be enforced. The best way to de
termine the good laws from the bad is to
enforce them. The non-enforcement of
our laws breeds disrespect and contempt
for them. When a law is found to be bad,
either wholly or in part, it should be modi
fied, or amended, or repealed.
3. In the expenditure of the slate's
money I believe in applying the rules of
economy, the same business principles
that should govern and maintain its pri
vate affairs The strictest economy
should be practiced consistent with the
public welfare. livery bill for supplies
should be inspected, aud all graft and un
reasonable profits should be eliminated.
All vouchers should be thoroughly scruti
nized and good business judgment used in
financial affairs. In using the state's
money men should be placed at the head
of affairs who do not consider a public
office a private snap, livery dollar ex
pended should be accounted for to the
people.
I think this answers your questions and
lets you know where I stand on the vital
questions at issue before the people of tho
state today. With Rreat interest in your
work, and the highest respect for you per
sonally, I remain. Very truly yours,
(Signed) M. L. Fries.
A State of Schools.
Nebraska, already at the head of the
states of the Union iu the literacy of
its people, that is having the largest
percentage of inhabitants that can read
and write, is taking advanced steps iu
the matter of increasing her education
al facilities. The legislature at its last
session out down expenses iu other
affairs, but did not reduce a single ap
propriation for an educational institu
tion. Thero was no talk of any pre
vious appropriation being too large,
but it was1 n question in each case
whether the amount should be in
creased; and almost invariably it was
increased, although appropriations for
many other purposes wcro being de
creased, An exchange aptly says: "Nebraska
is growing proud of the education of
her children. She has complacently
accepted the fact that thero is the
smallest per cent of illiteracy here, but
this means simply the smallest per
cent of people who cannot read and
write, and does not mean that Nebras
ka people aro necessarily the best edu
cated in the country. And that goal is
now being set by Nebraska; to have
her people not only able to read and
write, but to do so with comprehen
sion and appreciation, to have at least
the grade and high school training,
and if possible the college training."
Abolition of the Rum Power.
A series of heart-to-heart talks on the
above named subject by Prof. J. L. Mc
Brien, ex-state superintendent of public
instruction of Nebraska:
TALK ONE
The Allied Temperance Forces of Ne
braska met in convention at York, July 8
and 9, 1909. This was the most important
gathering of the temperance people of
this state within the past twenty-five
years. There were two opposing ideas
held by the delegates assembled as to the
best method of dealing with the liquor
question. One side contended for county
option only; the other side argued for
state-wide prohibition only. But after the
conference committee of fifteen, repre
senting all the temperance forces in the
state, had wrestled with these two propo
sitions far beyond midnight, a happy con
clusion was reached by a unanimous vote
of the committee, which declares for im
mediate county option and this step to be
followed by state-wide prohibition. The
report of the committee was adopted by
the convention Friday morning, July 9,
without a dissenting vote, though there
were three delegates who did not vote on
the question.
It is natural for different persons to see
the same subject in a different light.
Absolute unanimity is practically impos
sible in any political party, society or or
ganization, where there is any great ques
tion at issue. It is even impossible in
church matters to find any official board
that is absolutely unanimous on every im
portant question. But (or success to
crown the efforts of good people interested
in a good cause, it is necessary to unite
upon a common ground, though we may
not all get our way in every detail. Let
s hope, therefore, that the temperance
forces of Nebraska will exercise as good
judgment in their method of fighting the
rum power, as the liquor dealers exercise
in their fight against tho temperance
cause. Uuited we stand, divided we fall.
Grand Young Nebraska.
Deputy Labor Commisssioner Maupin
furnishes some interesting information
regarding Nebraska as an agricultural and
manufacturing state.
Other states may raise a greater number
of bushels of corn and wheat and oats, but
Nebraska raises mere corn, wheat and
oats per capita than any other state. In
all three of these grains it is away yonder
ahead of the general average of all the
states. We've Eot 'em all beat in output
of hay, wild timothy and alfalfa. We
have every reason to boast of our agricul
tural resources, but agriculture is no long
er our sole dependence. It is the basis of
all wealth, to be sure, not only in Nebras
ka, but everywhere else, but the time has
come iu the history of Nebraska when we
may feel satisfied that our agricultural
supremacy is no longer questioned or men
aced, and therefore devote some time and
attention to letting the world know what
we are doing along other lines.
We aro doiug some manufacturing in
Nebraska and when we get wise to our
opportunities we will do more. In 1908
Nebraska manufacturing plants and indus
tries lurued out $151,000,000 worth of
manufactured goods from raw material
raised mostly in Nebraska. That was
$20,000,000 more than the value of our
live stock in 190S. Men engaged in me
chanical ptirsuu.t, including transportation,
received upward of S20.000.000 in wages
in Nebraska in 190S. liver stop to think
what a great variety of articles wo manu
facture in Nebraska? I'll give you a par
tial list, and it will help you form some
idea of our growing importance as a man
ufacturing state. Deputy Labor Commis
sioner Maupin then fixed up the following
list:
Automobiles, alfalfa meal, aprons, arti
ficial stone, awnings.
Beet sugar, beer, buttons, brooms,
baking powder, boots, boxes, brick, break
fast foods, butter, barrels.
Carriages, creamery supplies, candy,
caps, crackurjack, cornice, cracker,
canned goods, cigars.

Agricultural Experimentation
in Box Butte
County
Fall Plowing
This is a matter that is receiving alto;
gether too little attention from the farmers
of the state. The probable reason for
this neglect is to be found in the fact that
farms are so managed and the farm work
so arranged that time is lacking for this
most necessary and productive work. On
most farms as soon as harvest is over,
shock threshing begins. The ordinary
farmer gets his labor for threshing by
''changing work" with his neighbors. The
equipment for shock threshing ii much
larger, requires more men and more teams
than for stack threshing. The labor that
the farmer receives from his neighbors he
must pay back in turn and at the same
time his neighbors demand it. This takes
time when it is most imperatively de
manded at home. By the time that thresh
ing is over, alfalfa must generally be cut
and wild hay made. Then comes potato
harvest, and then corn harvest. Neces
sary work keeps pushing all the time so
that fall plowing seems to be out of the
question. The remedy for this state of
affairs lies in a change in farm manage
ment. Shock threshing should speedily
become a thing of - the .past. It is too
wasteful and too expensive to be longer
tolerated. It demands a maximum of
labor at a time when it is most needed on
the home farm. Grain may be stacked
and threshed with far less labor and more
of it saved for the grain bin than by the
method now in vogue. A light covering
with slough hay, or timothy or wild hay
will protect the stacks from the weather if
they are properly built. The threshing
may then be postponed till after the fall
plowing is done and labor may easily be
had.
As an inducement to farmers to make
the change in management above sug
gested and as encouragement 19 them to
undertake a work that is too much neglect
ed on nearly every farm, I shall here set
forth some of the benefits to be derived by
plowing in the fall, and by plowing as
deeply as possible with the ordinary farm
equipment.
In the first place it will add to the fer
tility of the soil. All soils contain mineral
salts that are or may become the basis
from which plant food may be. made.
These mineral salts in the form in which
they originally exist in the soil are not im
mediately available for plant food. They
must first be oxidized. To illustrate,
pca.sium is not a plant food, but potash,
an oxidized product of potassium, is a
plant food. Exposure to the action of the
oxygen of the air and to the effect of the
various atmospheric influences oxidizes
these mineral salts and converis them into
plant food, thus adding to the fertility of
the soil, On old, worn soils the effect of
deep plowing is readily to be seen in the
first crop. On these the mineral salts
contained in the ordinary furrow slice' ob
tained in shallow plowing have nearly all
been oxidized and made available and
used up, so that the soil seems to be ex
hausted. But drop the plow deeper, turn
out to the action of the elements soil that
has never been before disturbed, and new
plant food is made available, equivalent
to the application of so much chemical
fertilizer. It is better and cheaper to dig
up the fertilizer with a plow than to buy it
at enhanced prices' in the general market.
In the second place deep fall plowing
creates a water holding reservoir in the
soil and prevents wash. Whenever water
runs on the soil, it is at the expense of
fertility. The plant food in the soil is
very soluble, and is readily taken up and
carried off by running water. If the soil
is handled in such a way as to prevent
waterj from running, this soluble plant
food is retained in the soil and its fertility
is.increased instead of depleted. If the
soil is loosened to a depth of ,two inches,
those two inches will hold a certain amount
of water without losing any. If, however,
the soil is loosened to a depth of six inches
it will hold three times as much without
losing any. This will be sufficient to re
tain all tho water except from the most
violent storms. Retaining the water in
the soil, retairis the fertility too. Another
reason for retaining all the water possible
in the soil is found in the fact that plants
take all their food in solution, 'the plant
food must first be dissolved in water and
this water sucked up by the feeder root
lets of the plant before it can be built into
plant tissues. If there is uot water enough
in the soil to dissolveathe plant food, the
plant will slowly starve to death. This is
what happens in many cases where farm
ers say their corn is "firing." There is
not sufficient water in the soil to dissolve
the plant food and the plant is begiuning
to starve for lack of food. This trouble
may in most cases be obviated by creating
a water holding reservoir in the soil of
sufficient depth to hold the necessary
water. Deep fall plowing affords the best
means of doing this, for by this means the
moisture from the fall, winter and spring
rains and snows may be stored up in the
soil ready for use when the proper time
and need comes.
Another reason for fall plowing is found
in the fact that it distributes the work
more evenly over the different seasons,
leaving more time in each for really pro
ductive work. If a part of the work on
the farm can be done the preceding
season, the spring work will not be so
PROF. E. W. HUNT,
DIRECTOR
badly rushed. The man, who does a good
share of his spring work during the pre
ceding fall, will have time for adequate
and proper work in the spring. This is
especially desirable if the opening season
should prove to be cold and backward.
Plowed ground warms more quickly than
the undisturbed soil, and comes sooner
into condition favorable for growth.
Two objections to fall plowing remain
to be considered. The first' one is that in
many cases it is impossible on account of
the cendition of the soil. After the small
grain crop is removed, the ground in most
sections of the state bakes so hard that
plowing becomes impossible. This diffi
culty may be entirely obviated by thor
oughly disking tho ground a week or ten
days before attempting to plow. Breaking
tho surface with a disk stops the rapid
evaporation from the surface so that the
moisture from below comes up and softens
the crust, prevents the formation of large
clods and furnishes moisture enough so
that the plow works better than at almost
any other season of the year.
Another objection urged by many is that
fall plowed land drifts badly with the win
ter and spring winds. On some fields the
land has been stripped bare of all the soil
that had been loosened. This has hap
pened in most cases where very shallow
plowing has been done. This danger
may be prevented in most cases by leaving
the plowed ground as rough as possible.
Any harrowing or smoothing should be
avoided, This rough ground has the
added advantage of being able to receive
and hold the moisture from melting snow
and rain even while it is frozen. The
water will enter the openings and be re
tained there instead of running off the
surface. In some sections of the state
where the soil is sandy and especially
liable to drift, the drifting may be pre
vented and most of the advant, ges of fall
plowing be secured by listing deeply in a
direction at right angles to the direction of
the prevailing wind, and then splitting the
ridges just as deeply. This is what is
called "double listing" in some parts of
the state.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that several times recently there
1ms not been suflluient water pressure
to Hush closets on the second floor of
buildings iu the heart of the city, and
further that nt two fires within tho
past six weeks water could not be
thrown as high as the second story of
buildlnps. We nre not sure that it will
do any good to publish the fact, but
wo think attention should be called to
it with a view of securing a remedy,
We boast, and with good reason, of our
fire department, but the best fire de
partment, but the best fire department
on earth cannot put out fire without
water. Wo ure now putting in a now
sewer system which emphasizes the
necessity for an ample water supply.
Another serious phase of the proposi
tion is the dancer of increase in insur
ance rates, or the cancelling altogether
of insurance now in force.
