NORRIS AND RECIPROCITY
Lincoln Journal
Congressman Norris argument
against the reciprocity bill was an ef
fective one and obviously made a
deep impression upon his hearers lie
had taken the trouble to provide him
self with facts bearing on the moot
ed question of the effect of the tariff
on the price of wheat It is doubtful
if figures can be found to disprove hit
evidence that wheat this side of the
Canadian line has been running sev
eral cents higher than wheat on the
other side situated equally with re
spect to Liverpool or his figures
showing a considerably narrower mar
gin between Chicago and Liverpool
than the cost of transportation would
account for Whether or not other
elements than the tariff enter into
this and whether or not the effect of
removing it would be to reduce Amer
ican wheat to the Canadian level
the showing creates the presumption
that our wheat surplus is already so
small as everybody knew it must be
in time as to make our markets part
ly independent of the world market
Having submitted his evidence that
the reciprocity bill would somewhat
reduce the farmers income Mr Nor
ris proceeded to argue that it would
not reduce his outgo Nothing the
farmer buys not even lumber will be
reduced in pi ice by the bill he argued
He intimated that the punishment of
the territory that revolted against tha
west was one of the motives behind
the bill Perhaps his most appealing
plea was this The census shows a
loss of farming population Instead
of making tariffs for the encourage
ment of home farming shall we
make them to encourage still more of
our farmers to emigrate to the cheap
wheat lands of Canada
As one sees at a glance the facts
as Mr Norris sees them are sub
stantially as those of the west who
drew a different conclusion see them
There has been o difference of opinion
as to whether the wheat tariff is now
in effect But that is Reside the point
Everybody admits that it will soon
take effect whether in efefct now or
no We believe nobody denies either

Of Importance to Every Lady
During All Next
division of opinion comes over the
question of judgment as to whether
the farmer would not most profitably
let the bill go through and establish
the principle of reciprocity thus
leaving him free to gain lower prices
for what he buys as an offset to any
loss he may suffer from the competi
tion of Canadian farms
Probably the most intense interest
granted Congressman Norris by his
audience at the Commercial Club yes
terday noon was when he hinted at
the political significance of the pro
posed Canadian reciprocity His sug
gestion that the administration meas
ure was open to suspicion as a whip
wielded by the regulars over the
heads of insurgent congressmen was
almost a sensation Mr Norris point
ed out that the burdens of the re
ciprocity measure will fall upon the
farmers who are largely constituents
of these so called progressive con
gressmen Thus the financial inter
ests of the people represented the
insurgents demand its rejection But
the moment a progressive congress
man shows signs of voting against
the measure the administration men
will talk to him in this fashion You
opposed the Payne Aldrich bill be
cause it was too high a protective tar
iff Now we give you a chance to
lower the tariff Are you going to
be consistent or not Will you vote
for reciprocity which means a low
er tariff or will you backslide Un
der that sort of an argument Mr
Norris remarks that the progressive
congressman is out of the frying pan
and into the fire And he is wonder-
ing whether he got there by shrewd
design or merely by a political acci
dent Lincoln News

McCooks Ambition
While several bills have been pass
ed at the present session of the leg
islature and have been approved by
Governor Aldrich none of the meas
ures J has caused more activity over
the state than the Eastman bill ap
propriating 100000 for the establish-
of an agricultural school in
astern Nebraska Already sev
eral towns have entered he race for
the nstitution and indications point
to m are or less of a tight race for the
honors before the location of tliR
school is finally announced by the
board of public lands and buildings
Since the passage of the bill Mc
Cook people have become ambitious
thatlthey will make an effort to land
the school A crying need for the
spred of knowledge as to dry farm
ing In that part of the state is given
by the Red Willow county people as a
reason for the location of the school
in that region Lincoln News

Dollar
Decoys
Did you know that there was
a relationship between dollars
Well it must be true anyway
Did you ever notice that once
a man gets a few dollars others
seem to fly into his pocket as
if by magic Most of the dol
lars of the United States are
gathered together in large
amounts The more dollars a
man gets the faster others join
them You may be unable to
account for this but it is true
nevertheless Dollars like to
congregate Why not start a
congregation of your own
Lets explain You make quite
a bit of money dont you You
spend it dont you Well now
just for once try putting a few
dollars just a few in this

PEAFOWL ETIQUETTE
The Hens Formal Introduction of Her
Brood to the World
For bringing up their families pea
hens are a model to every other feath
ered fowl in existence The nest is
usually made of a quantity of dry
sticks and when fairly set and on it
the difficulty is to And out where the
hen is So beautifully does the ash
gray plumage assimilate with the sur
roundings that It is often possible to
tumble over the nest before recogniz
ing it In this nest are laid from three
to four large whitish eggs about the
size of those laid by the common do
mestic goose
When the chicks are hatched out they
are the most delightful little brown
birds imaginable The color is a rich
deep brown and they much resemblo
young pheasants both in size and in
coloring Many people have often
laughed at the curious etiquette notice
able in the behavior of bees toward
their queen But the peafowl etiquette
in introducing young chicks to their
owner is at least as curious As soon
as the chicks are able to walk tho
mother marshals them in a procession
and leading herself she stalks to the
place where she and the others are
generally fed Having formally intro
duced her brood she takes them back
to the nest and they are not seen any
more for some weeks The hen will
come and be fed but the chicks are
supposed to remain in retreat till they
are grown to mi of s rir

In the forests of Quito there flows a
kind of resin which Is called cahuchu
When fresh It can bo molded Into any

He further describes how the natives
used it for making a special kind of
syringe and in April 1745 when he
had returned from his journey he pre
sented a sample of cahuchu to the
Academy of Sciences In Paris The
French word for rubber
is simply a corruption of this Indian

La Condamine treated the product
as a mere vegetable curiosity It was
Fresneau a French engineer who first
studied and utilized the substance He
embarked for Guiana with a model of
the fruit and a sketch of the leaf He
rowed along the rivers offered the
natives drink and music and when he
hadassured himself of their friendship
by these and other gifts showed his
