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

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

About fifteen .eara ago It wu di
rovered that theie a a great hole Iu the
state tieasuiy of Nebraska. Three quar
ters of a million dollars or more had van
ished. Tha state treasurer. J. S. 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

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? Must of them, It may teadily
be lriidt,1ind. would have accompanied tiie
words of re.-ignallnn with a history of their
entire official career with sundry and
divers references to the welfare of the
stale, and poslnl, with some instructions
or genllo 8VlJS;"e'iluiis for their successor.
Theie is not much hope that brevity will
ever becoina the rule Instead of the shin
ing exception in slate papers. It Is pleas
ant, nevertheless, to find an occasional
example of 11.
