to disparage Mr F C Kr otters
ability as an engineer or business
man on the contrary iliis effort

a few chunks of iron into the ana
cliiniery of our proposed irriga
tion dicth project cncreases cur
regard for Jus business acumen
But -we do call attention to fact
tihat he is the owner of a water
power enterprise at Palisade
which would not be materially im
proved by rtihe proposed ditch be
sides he is interested in several
Qtftier ditches and enterprises
which might net be the better for
the proposed ditch These facts
may properly have somethdng

WQiat we want to state particu
larly at this time fa however
dont by any means let Mr Krot

Most Worthy Case
The endowment of Christian
colleges will doubtless appeal to
thinking men as both desirable
and absolutely essential A mod
ern college is a big plant with a
necessarily large expense bud
gelt and must be conducted ais
a busines proposition If such
instituiMon is doing credutabte
work it is assuredly worthy of
substantial support and there is
no other basis from wihce3i a
regular and sufficient income
can be derived for the denomi
national school- Last yearDoane
college at Crete eomplelted an en
dowment fund of nearly 300
000 This year the Nebraska
Wesleyan university of Unur
versity Place aska to have its
present endowment fund increas
ed from 100000 to half a mil
lion dollars With over sixty
thousand Methodists in Nebras
ka and many other friends of
Christian education who will
lend a helping hand this en
dowment campaign should be
crowned with success and such
result will be -highly creditable
to ihe entire stare
