OMAHA OUGHT TO HAVE IT
Tho administration of the rural
supervision of a federal farm loan board to lie composed of the secre
tary of the treasury and four other members to be appointed by the
president of the United StHtes. It will be the duty of this board to
divide the country into twelve federal districts and establish in each
district a federal land bank, over which, it will exercise temporary
control and constant supervision.
Taking into consideration the lare and rapidly developing ag
ricultural and stock raising territory of which Omaha is the financial
center, it appears plain that one of the federal land banks should be
located in that city. Space and time will not permit going into de
tail why Omaha should be selected as one of the twelve cities of the
United States in which these banks will be located, but those reasons
arc good and strong and we sincerely hope that the proper pcrsns will
make a fair representation of the matter to the federal farm loan
board before the federal land banks have been located.
There is some talk of the city of Lincoln being a candidate for
one of the federal land banks. The Herald would be pleased to sec
our beautiful state capital honored in this or any other matter; but
frankly we are of the opinion that unless a federal land bank shall be
located in Omaha, Nebraska will not secure one of them. For this
reason, we believe it the part of wisdom for Nebraskans to unite in
trying to represent and present the claims of the metropolis for the
distinction and recognition to which the state is entitled.
The Alliance Herald is, sincerely for Omaha for the location of
one of the federal land banks, and earnestly hopes that the federal
farm loan board will give that city recognition in locating the banks.

Standard Grocery Company, wlio wa.i
arrested In May on the complaint of
Karl D. Mallery. charged with false
advertising, was acquitted of the
charge in the county court Monday

The complaint was based on the
charge "that Mr. Belyon had adver
tised St hillings Best Japan tea, and
that The Standard did not sell
Schillings Best tea but sold an Infer
ior tea." The Judge ruled that tie
defendant had a preponderance of
evidence to show that they Bold th
tea as advertised, and therefore ac
quitted the defendant.
Mr. Belyon claims that this charge
was filed in an attempt to injure his
business because of "the fact that
The Standard is selling groceries for
less money."

Are Yon Rich?
Only the rich can afford to be in
jured. The rich man has capital.
The loss of a hand, arm, leg or eye,
and being confined In a hospital or at
home for weeks or months mean suf
fering, annoyance, Inconvenience, ex
perse, but as a general rule his bus
iness goes on just the same, his earn
ing capacity remains, his capital still
exl its. If he is careless in handling
his capital, loses It and becomes
bankrupt, he can start again either
In n small way or on borrowed capi
tal. The capital of the trainman, yard
man, englneman, shopman, is his
head, hands, arms, legs and feet. If
he Is careless In handling his capital
and loses It he cannot start In again
at the bottom, he cannot borrow or
buy new parts of his body that will
be serviceable to him In his work,
which means that he must change
his business, must engage in some
wor kadapted to his crippled condi
tion, at lower wages, of course. What
does this mean to a man and his fam
ily? Is such a prospect a pleasant
one?
No railroad today asks or expects
its employes to take chances, to ex
pose themselves to needless danger,
to hurry where hurry means hazard,
but on the contrary, the railroads
have made rules governing the opera
tion of their trains, yards, shops, etc.,
which positively forbid unsafe prac
tices and methods. Chas. T. Banks,
Safety Superlvsor, In Erie Railroad
