SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE ltEtXMJN'ITION OF t'AIUlANZA Comparatively few men in the United States are as well posted on the true Inwardness of Mexican affairs as Richard L. Metcalfe. No one who is acquainted with him will question his sincerity or high order of patriotism, lie has the ftlfts and education that qualify him as a statesman. In view of these facts, his opinions regarding the recognition of a government in Mexico have much weight with the average newspaper reader, and ought to have with the national administration. In the Issue of his paper, The Omaha Nebraska n, of September 23nl, Mr. Metcalfe has the following to say editorially: It is plain that events are rapidly pushing to the recognition by the United States of.Ueneral Carranza. To the people of this country he has been a much misrepresented man. He is as true a patriot as any man In our own history. He is as good a democrat devoted to the general good as any leader In the American democracy. Firm and determined, he is gentle and kind, and his Integrity is unquestioned by those who know him. What a different picture this is from the one drawn by Gen eral Cairania's enemies and by newspaper editors who are Ignor ant as to Mexican affairs! It Is, however, a true picture. Instead of being the enemy of Americans, General Carranza Is particularly fond of them as individuals and he Is a great admir er of our Institutions. He Is especially fond of the American pub-. He school system and he is preparing to establish that system In Mexico, for he realizes that the education of the masses will go far toward the solution of Mexican problems. We believe that the recognition of Carranza will mean better and more sincere relations between the United States and Mexico than have ever existed. Carranza will welcome American capital and enterprise and young and old Americans who go to Mexico to aid Individually In the development of that wonderful country will find In the "First Chief" a warm friend. General Carranza is a constructionist and under his leader ship the people of Mexico will obtain their first touch In good gov ernment under a real republic. t 111 MI NAL t'AKKLESSXESS Some accidents are unavoidable, that Is, they could not have been pre vented by any amount of carefulness; but most accidents, that cause the destruction of property and loss of human life, are the result of careless ness. People who ignore the wise precaution, "Safety First", take needlesa and foolish chances. If they get by with It for a while, they become all the more carelesB, and sooner or later get caught with disastrous results. The head-on collision near Plattsniouth, Nebr.. last Sunday morning, between two Missouri Pacific trains, a freight, and a passenger, was caused by gross carelessness, as it now appears. In the tirst place, the orders to the crew of the passenger train, which was responsible for the wreck, di rected them to pass freight irnln No. 153, engine 1274, at La Platte, hut did not state that, freight train No. 155. engine 1273, would also be passed there. When the passenger train arrived at Ia Platte, a freight train was standing on the siding. It was No. 155, engine 1273. Whether the en gineer and fireman on the passenger train noticed that the number of the engine on the siding was not the number of the one that they were ordered to pass there Is not known, as they were both instantly killed; but the con ductor and his brakeman both noticed it. Instead of applying the air and stopping his train, which he could have done in time to avoid the collision, as the belated freight was making only about ten miles an hour, he let the engineer increase speed, thinking that there was probubly a mistake In the order, as the number of the engine on the siding and the engine number in the order differed only slightly. Just what punishment should be meted out for such criminal careless ness, we do not profess to know; but in the interest of humanity, It ought not to be passed over lightly. KEEP TIIKM IN WESTEHN NEBRASKA Last week The Herald advertised a sale of about 1,000 head of Here fords, at Airedale ranch, sixteen miles south of Scottsbluff, the property of J. O. Shay. This sale is to be held next Saturday, October 2, commencing at 10:30 a. m. sharp. Quality of stuff considered, there probably has never yet been a sale of cattle In western Nebraska the equal of what this will be. It will include a number of registered Hereford bulls and cows, while the bulk of the cat tle are grades from the herd which was run for fifteen years by Eggleston A. Hill and which have had ten crosses of registered bulls. What we want to call attention to In particular at this time is that the breeding stock of this herd ought not to be permitted to leave western Ne braska. In recent years Nebraska ranch cattle have won a splendid repu tation among stocker and feeder buyers at the markets. Ranchmen have no disposition to stop their efforts at improving their herds. They are wise to the fact that there in much bigger profit in raising first-class stock than In the Inferior stuff.. For the above reasons The Herald hopes that enough western Nebraska ranchmen who read this paper will attend tht Shay sale at Airedale ranch next Saturday to take up all the breeding cattle offered for sale. Automo bile conveyance at reasonable rates may be had from Soottsbluff and Oer-Jng. I M PI tO V I'D HY AIIYEItSITY It sometimes happens that a newspaper Is improved. Indirectly, by the political reverses of its editor. "Dock" Taner. well known South Omaha editor, and his paper. The Nehrnskii Democrat. Illustrate the point. For merly The Democrat was published as a daily. Frankly, it wasn't much of a daily, either. It didn't need to be. It had a cinch on the legal notices of South Omaha, and that made a paying business, whether any subscrip tions or commercial advertising were sold or not. The consolidation of South Omaha with Omaha was in the nature of a political reversal to Editor Tanner, as It deprived The Daily Democrat of legal patronage amounting to several thmi Dock do? Sit down and pine over the loss of so much profitable business? Not that any one has observed. IU simply changed his paper from a dally to a weekly, made so much Improvement In It that its nearest acquaintances scarcely recognized It. If it does not get enough business, without legal notices, to keep It going, it will not be getting what is coming to it. The last number of The Nebraska Democrat, September 25th, was an Ak-Sar-Ben edition, and It was a peach, too, one of the finest papers we have seen for many a day. It is a paper of which "Greater Omaha" as well as the "South Side" may well be proud. THE TIHX OF THE WHEEL Last year cattle feeders in the corn belt lost money in their operations owing to the high price paid for feeder cattle, the high price of corn and falling prices when It came time to sell their fat cattle. For this reason some former cattle feeders are turning to sheep feeding this fall, while oth ers are hesitating about feeding at all. The Herald ventures the prediction that the cattle feeders will come out better the coming winter than the sheep leeders. Our guess Is based on observation and the opinions of experienced stockmen. "Take It from me." said a veteran live stock man to The Herald recently, "a fat-backed hog and a big steer will be a rarity next February." The veteran live stock man is Geo. W. Waitt. senior member of the live stock commission firm of Waitt & West. Sioux CUy. Mr. Waitt fed cattle and hogs fifteen years, lnce which time he has been In the live Btock commission business twenty eight years. SALT THEM WELL Having called attention to the tanning of raw hides and the manufac ture of fur garments for individual customers by tanners and furriers of the middle west. The Herald has one further suggestion to make, and that is regarding the care of hides. Every hide, whether from domestic or game animal, should be well salted as soon as taken from the carcass. Do not dry the hide without salting It. if you want it tanned. The following In struction on "How to Care for Hides" is taken from the catalog of the Lin coln Hide & Fur Co., and gives reliable information w hich should be remem bered by Interested persous: "As soon at a hide la taken from the animal spread it out. flesh aide up and cover it with salt, put not less than two gallons of salt on a 50-pound bide; then do not roll the hide up at once, but leave It spread out for at least thlrty-slx hours with the sal on: this will cure the bide evenly and properly and will set the hair so that it will not slip when put Into the tan Sing process."
