Why Smith Writ to WMhUcton.
- OMAHA, June 6, TO me Mixor 01
Xjm? 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.

ARGUE ME ELECTION CASE
Queitien of Biennial Election! 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 Is accounted for
by the heavy registration of new students
for the summer school work. The enroll
ment in the summer school Is 200 more
than last year. Advices from Holdrege
and North Platte Indicate that the Junior
normals are well attended and similar In
formation has been received from the other
Institutions. These reports are taken to
Indicate that the teachers of the state are
demonstrating a greatly Increased Interest
In normal education.

that there are ten United States gauging

union. The work of the stations is re
garded as especially Important In the Irri
gated sections, but elsewhere they serve
to keep flood records and secure other val

Murphy said that the department Is mak

BRUNINQ SPEAKS FOR BOARD
Bays Commissioners Only Wnnt to Do
Doty la Selecting; Deten
tion Homo.
Relative to the proposed protest against
the location of the new detention hose at
Tenth and Martha streets. County Commis
sioner Brunlng, chairman of the committee
on court house and Jail, said:
'When this matter was first referred to
the committee of which I am chairman we
tried to get quarters for the delinquent
Juveniles In the city hall. 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. We have absolutely no personal
feeling or interest In the matter except to
discharge a duty Imposed upon us by the
legislature."
The lease for the Goodman bouse has not
yet been signed by Chairman Kennard. It
was to have been presented for signature
Wednesday morning, but was not ready,
It will not be signed now until the South
Tenth street cltlsens have a chance to be
heard. The board meet again Saturday
morning.

Hessian Fly Has Injored Wheat.
According to reports being received by
prof. Bruner of the State university se
rious damage has been done the wheat crop
by the Hessian fly. It is stated that the
development of the plant has shown the
ravages of the Insect in many Instances
where fields were believed to have been
immune. The most common Indication is
the lopped head, the boring of the fly
through the stalk causing It to bend. Prof.
Bruner made the following statement:
"Hessian flies are working In the south
ern and central section of the state and
have done damage as far west as Kearney.
"It is difficult to tell at this time Just
what damage has been done, but from re
ports received from various sections I
judge that It will be extensive. Most of
the reports of damage have come from
Tork, Saline, Fillmore and Clay counties.
Rural Schools Doing; Good Work.

Recount Mar Bo Necessary.
The democrats are talking of contesting
the election of N. C. Brock, republican, on
the ground that E. Hoppe, the democratic
candidate, really had the highest number
of votes. Some computations show that
Brock had a lead of eight votes, but others
show that It la only two, and the Bour
bons claim that a recount may show that
Hoppe was elected alderman. He has been
a member of the council from the Third
ward under the old plan of ward elections.

The "Tall Eaders" That Follow Gea-

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.
