Industrial Nebraska. Nebraska ia classed as one of the the greatest butter market in the country. In live stock it again takes hlf?n ran'- In far. it stands always near the top as a farming state and as fcuch it ia generally thought of. But Nebraska is more of an indus trial slate than most people appie- tiate, even many people within its tories, and this was a gain of more than flo.000,000 over the aggregate capital Invested In 1900. Since 1903 ne increase has been much greater ,nan il was in the five years preceding, w"ile the statistics for 1910 are. not yet available, they probably will show an aggregate In the nelghbor- noo1 of $100,000,000, if not more, The va'ue of Nebraska's manufac- tured articles In 1903 was $154,918, 220, a gain of about $21,000,000 over 1900. In 1905 these manufacturing establishments numbered 1.819 and employed 20.2 60 persons at an aggre gate wage of $11,022,149, which rep resented comparative increases over Tnese A urea loom very large for a western state In the heart of the great agricultural and stock-raising belt, which has only of late years turned its attention to industrialism.

The fait l. that this middle west has roally engineered thla movement of conquest abroad. It was necessary to balance the scales of economy and this will all be apparent in a very short time. The country has been tailing for greater supplies from the farm to meet the greater demands; .. . ... It has been urging a dissipation of con- gested rentera in the east; it has been bringing the alien from foreign shores and insisting that he be given a place on the farm. How could all these demands he met but by moving on and opening up new fields. What is taking place today has been taking place since this country was Settled. Year by year empire builders are mov ing the frontier out Just a little more. It is nothing new, nothing to occasion other than the greatest encourage ment. Mr. Hitcbcork now flatters himself that he has become a national Issue. This ought to set aide the statement that the only Issue before the people in Nebraska Is the liquor Question. The Bee has all along contended that the more important question before the people of Nebraska this year Is whether this state is still to be rep resented In congress by republicans or whether we are to rote in favor of returning to the policy which brought j about business conditions that made it necessary for a democratic editor to go to a republican state treasurer to borrow money iu order to keep his paper alive. The voters should not allow themselves to be misled by pov erty pleas or appeals to sympathy, but should look squarely at the facts. "Bill" Oldham has a most vivid Imagination, and is not averse to working it overtime. It is within the easy recollection of people yet alive that "Bill" led the forlorn hope which bolted the Holcomb nomination in an effort to perpetuate the administra tion of Nebraska affaire under which Bartley's treasury shortage was piled up, and it now well becomes the Judge to use his brilliant talent in defense of a democratic editor who admits he borrowed money from the defaulting republican state treasurer. Verily, Uxs democrats of Nebraska should be proud of the present aspect of their brilliant "champions." The steady efforts of the democrats to involve Senator Burkett In the scandal that surrounds Congressman Hitchcock will prove a boomerang. Whatever else they may be able to say about Senator Burkett, it is not on record that he ever borrowed money from a defaulting state treasurer and pleaded later that the notes he gave were outlawed. The suit against the directors of the Illinois Central railroad may re sult in lifting the lid from the "high finance box" long enough to give the public a glimpse at its real contents. And this ought to be done. If every thing is all right It will harm nobody, but the disclosures iu the Illinois Cen tral graft cases suggest that every thing is not all right. Plans for a ' greater" Omaha are now being debated with much en thusiasm. The better way to build up a greater Omaha is to persistently boont for the towu and aid in develop ing its natural advantages. Plenty of la Great Demand. Waahiugton Punt.

Hartley. as ai rested and con "Icted of nnles.le nipnt, and sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years. He kept his mouth shut, refusing any Information as-lo what had become of the money, but It waa the gen eral belief that a great deal of It had be'-n loaned to his file nils. Thla catastrophe happened after Ne braska had Rone Ihioualt several seasons of drouth and disaster of varioiiM kind, and the people were savage In their nnnet and disgust. The feeling against Hartley and those who had benefited by his plun dering was too Intense for description. It was the general opinion that the ex trtasurer gol a light sentence. Ho the con sternation may be Imagined when the news came, one fine morning, that the governor had pardoned Hartley. The people were outiagej. and -worked up to a degree of wrath that was dangerous. The governor doubtless felt that k was dangerous, for he left the state and made a new home on the Taciflc coast. Since then It ha only been ueceaeai v. in order to kill off a politician in Ne braska, to show that ha had dealings with Hartley while the latter was elate treas urer. About nine years ago a banker tuuned Uoold was a candidate for an Im portant office, and tha Omaha World Herald charged him editorially, and with a fine manifestation of virtue with hav ing borrowed money from Hartley. Uoold made no explanations or defense. It simply dropped out of the rare, knowing that he couldn't survive such an accusu tluii. The editor of the World-Herald who thus drove Uoold In obscurity 1s Gilbert M. Hitchcock, who haa been In congress fur several years, as a democrat. The am bition of his life has been to occupy a aeut in the senate. And thla year the signs appeared to be right, und he became a candidate. Until a few day ago his elec tion seemed to be a sine thing;. Then he got Into a controversy with , the editor of a country paper, a man named Kdgar PERSONAL NOTES.

RRKIITY IN ST 'IK PAPKKR. An Kltmple Worth Following! hf All I'OBcerneil. Louisville Courier-Journal. When Claries K. Hushes real sued the office of governor of New York he did so In a communication to the legislature which Is a model of brevity. "I hereby resign the office of governor." That was all of It with the exception of the address and signature. It covered the case fully and left no room for misinterpretation In any particular. Kxample o this kind are Infrequent. Most of the men who hold high offices seem to feel it Incumbent to multiply wolds on all occasion where It becomes necessary to Indite an official letter. The messages of governors and presidents cover pages in the newspapers, where they easily mlalit be condensed Into columns by the elimination of supetfluoua words and sen tences. Third assistant secretaries and functionaries of e'en lesser degree are given to exploiting their views In letters remarkable for nothing: ao much as their unnecessary length. 1 1 Is refreshing now and then to run across a document of the kind lr. Hughes has written In submitting his resignation a governor. How many of our present da" itjtesmen could have lain down ft gov ernorship In words so few. so simple and so rfsctle?
