Bjr Associated Press. Ames. Ia., June 13.—A plea for a “square deal" for the railroads at the hands of the government and that "political juggling of the railroads" cease, was voiced by William H. Kin ley, president of the Chicago & North Western Railway company, in an ad dress read before the Iowa State Bankers’ association here today. "If the radical legislators who are devoting their time to attacking and misrepresenting the railroads would turn their attention to reducting the cost of government, the future his torian, in recording the present times, might place after their names ‘states men’ instead of ‘politicians,’ ’’ said ■Mr. Finley. Panics have been stopped by the federal reserve act, but another step must be taken—a means of averting [crises In the business affairs of the country must be found. I)r. Irving Fisher, head of the department of political economy of Yale university, told the bankers. “We have experienced in the last two years the severest crisis the United States has ever passed through," said Dr, Fisher. "It could have been averted if we had had a stable dollar. Statistics show that the so-called business cycle Is, at bottom, a dance of the dollar." Dr. Fisher suggested a periodical readjustment of the value of the dollar through stabilizing the discount rates and interchange of federal re serve notes with gold bullion dollar certificates. By this method, he de clared, price levels could be con trolled and huge losses through de flation avoided. The recent tendency toward rein 'flation. Dr. Ftsher said, has been checked and the rise in prices nas been arrested. “Dry” Forces Gain Edge on “Wets” in Illinois By Aftiioclated Fmi.

Tailored,$/>ort and Trimmed Models Charmingly Individual Models Socond F !cx»r~ tail The Nebraska Soldier By reason of the reunion this week of Spanish-American war veterans Omaha people will be interested in certain facts con cerning Nebraska soldiers. In every war in which it hag par ticipated Nebraska has played a conspicuous part. In the Civil War Nebraska—then a territory—gave in proportion to its population a larger per centage of soldiers than was given by any other state or ter ritory. The First Nebraska fought upon many of the big bat tlefields of the Civil war. Its men knew how to fight but their ears were deaf to orders to re treat. In his “Memoirs” Gen eral Grant gives to Thayer's brigade, of which the First Ne braska was an important part, the credit for saving the day at Donelson. By a brave and op portune charge they turned de feat into victory. In the Indian wars the Nebraska state militia acquitted itself well in several hotly-contested en gagements. In the Spanish-American war Nebraska gave three regiment*. All rendered faithful service but only one—the First—reached the firing line. That regiment was ever in the thickest of the fray in the Philippines and many of the boys fell—but all with their faces to the foe. Every day the First Nebraska figured in the press reports and when the bovs returned to the states the battle flags they carried were tattered and tom from the shots showered upon them. Every one remembers the fine part Nebraska played in the World war. There is something about the Nebraska-reared lad, something about the prairie raising, that makes for courage and fidelity. Pity it is that we ever had to have war. Gratifying it is to re member that it was never of our seeking. Glorious it is to know that whenever war was necessary Nebraska’s name was written high by the faithful lads who marched to the music of Amer ica. J. L.
