The Beer My attention has been called to 1 l seven-lino editorial that appeared In your columns on May 15. In this editorial you Insinuate that my recent appearance before the senate committee on Interstate com merce at Washington was at the instiga tion of ths railroad companies and because I was one of a class of "manufacturers and jobbers that are close to the traffic man agers." As a matter of fair play I believe I am entitled to reply to that aspersion. I went to Washington because I believed the proposed governmental regulation of U rates would work In a detrimental manner, . . . l - - . U. I -HI l only lO my own DUVUICH aiiu ilia uub- Inoiui Interests of Omaha, but also to the ' agricultural Interests of Nebraska and the middle west, on which all our prosperity is based. I paid my own expenses to appear before the committee both railroad fare and other incidental expenses. I did not re ceive one penny from any railroad or rail road official, nor any promise of remunera tion In any manner, shape or form. I am well enough known In this community to be believed when I say that I went to the national capital solely because I am of the firm opinion that governmental interfer ence of the railroads would be a calamity, j am not defending the railroads, thoy are guilty of abuses such abuses are to be founiTIn all business Involving so Intricate a system and so great a diversity but the existing, laws If enforced are capable of effectively curbing these practices. In my Opinion enforcement of the present laws Is what Is needed and not additional legisla tion which would put unparalleled power In the hands of a political board of Inex perienced men. Granting to the govern ment power to fix rates, distance tariffs, In my judgment, are Inevitable. Under such a regime, Omaha and all other distributing points would be severely Injured and the aame condition would confront the agricul tural Industries of this whole western country. I firmly believe that the wealth and prosperity of the west has been largely built up by the prevailing custom of low rates for the long haul and it will be an unhappy day indeed for this western coun try should this state of affairs fee changed or greatly modllied.

Now Up to the Bnpreme Court ATTENDANCE AT PERU NORMAL GROWING General Maaderaon Appears Before State Board of Eqanllsatloa In the Matter of the Rnrllagtoa Assessment, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 7. (Special.) This aft ernoon the supreme court listened to ths arguments of the attorneys Interested in the biennial election law case. The oppo nents of the bill urge that It file directly In the face of the constitutional provision which requires that there be an election each year. This language is so clear, ex plicit and unambiguous that it was claimed there could be no other Interpretation. On the other hand, the friends of the measure insist that the provision referred to is com plied with from the fact that the bill does not abolish the annual election directly, leaving It theoretically, while providing that all elective -officials shall be chosen In the even-numbered years. In this connection It was also claimed that the provision re quiring that the supreme Judges be selected In the odd numbered years was merely di rectory, intended merely for the con venience of the state, to be superseded as soon as the legislature could take the mat ter In hand. (The lawyers appearing against the bill In the argument today were C. 8. Allen. T. C. Munger of Lincoln and L. S. Pemberton of Beatrice, as friends of the court and representatives of O. B. Polk of this city, who made up the test case by of fering a petition to have his name placed on the independent republican ticket as a candidate for regent of the State unive-sity. The attorneys defending the measure were Lysle Abbott of Omaha, former Chief Jus tice Sullivan, Roscoe Pound, Attorney Gen eral Norrls Brown and F. I. Fobs. The attorneys for the relator urged that the purpose of the constitution framers was clearly to prevent the election of the Ju dicial and educational officers of the state at the same time that the political officers were choBen. It was absolutely denied that he framers of that document Intended to allow the legislature any latitude In that connection. On the other hand, it was contended that his Interpretation is based on the alleged spirit of the constitution and It was dented that such a meaning could be attached to the constitution In view of a declaration stating the specific purpose to be accom pllshed. The friends of the measure Inter pret the provision relating to the election of Judges could well have been construed so as to require the election of the Judges In 1876 Instead of 1875 under the new con stitution, and that therefore the election could have taken place on even-numbered years in perfect accordance with the or ganic law. The direction that the election lie held at the first general election the op ponents of the measure said was positive and mandatory, fixing without question the time for the first election in November, 1875, and as the terms of these Judges are two, four and six years, respectively, thts provision could not be carried Into effect without holding the elections In odd-num bered years. The same argument was made with reference to the regents. Pern Attendance Growing-. State Superintendent McBrinn has re ceived a letter from Principal Crabtree of the Peru normal stating that the total en rollment for the year will have passed the 1,000 mark tomorrow.

This we did not succeed In doing, and meantime the dis trict Judges named a board of visitors, to which the matter of securing a proper place was turned over, as they will have control of It to all Intents and purposes when established, reporting to the district court "The county board really had nothing to do with tho selection of the home, except to approve the recommendation of the board of visitors and provide for the maintenance of the home. I shall attend the meeting of protest to ascertain the sentiment of the people. The county board desires only to do what is right and proper, after a full consideration of all the circumstances. A protest from any body of cltlsens will, of course, receive attention at the hands of the board.

It Is sometimes Interesting to watch the curves Imitators make to get the public to buy Imitations of genuine goods. Every now and then some one will think there is a splendid opening to fix up some thing like Postum Coffee and advertise the same way and take some of the business. An Imitator is naturally Ignorant of food values and how to skilfully make a cereal coffee, on scientific lines. Such men first think of preparing some thing that looks and tastes like the original. with no knowledge of how the grains should be treated to prepare them so that the starchy part Is transformed properly and the valuable nourishing elements made digestible. Such Imitations may be foisted on the public for a short time, but the people are critical and soon detect the attempt, then the imitators go out of business. Something like 400 of these little factories have been started In various parts of this country in the past years, and practically an or tnem nave gone the "long Journey. Just lately a new one has come to life and evidently hopes to Insert Itself In public favor by copying the style of the Postum advertising In the papers. This is a free country and every man who makes an honest product and honestly laoeis it, nas reason lor some recognition, but the publlo haa the right to know ths facts. Postum is the one original and genuine Cereal Coffee, made skillfully and for a denlte purpose. It has stood through all the wars of the Imitators, has won the approval of the Physicians and the people, People who really seek to free themselves from the coffee habit and at the same time to rebuild the soft gray matter In the nerve centers and thus reconstruct tho nervous system, broken down by coffee, can rely on Postum. There'a a reason. Great Northern RIaht-of-War. FREMONT. Neb., June 7. (Special.)
