T ' T Prosperity Talks IL Just to remind us that the pros perity which the country has been enjoying under ' republican policies as applied by President Ta.'t is not confined to the cities, but is spread also through the rural communities, convincing testimony is furnished ready to, hand from a good demo cratic source, In this cutting from Edgar Howard's Columbus Telegram: Six months ago The Telegram advanced the claim that within two years from that day the best corn land In this part of Nebraska would be selling at 1200 per acre. Our view of tha situation was ridiculed by many persons. But In view of recent sales of such land in this part of the state we believe that we really fixed the day of $200 corn land too far ahead. A few days ago there was sold In Columbus a full 100 acres of farm land t $172.50 per acre, "end the sew owner admits that he would have paid a still higher price, bad it been necessary. The land in question Is practically without Improvements, the owner buying It for Its land value alone. It Is not bringing that fancy price on the plea that it Is close enough to the city to-be regarded as suburban In any fair sense, for Indeed it Is nearly three miles from the business section of the city. The new owner paid $173.60 per acre for the land because he believes that by Intelligent farming be can make it pay, good interest on . that valuation. ' ' , ',-' . The steady Increase In farm values permeates every section of the .state, and It goes without saying that such a condition can only reflect a pros perity of the farmer due to a ready market for his products at good prices. This demand for farm pro ducts at the prices they bring, In turn reflects an Increased consuming power of the worklngmanof the mechanic and laborer because em ployed at good wages in mill and factory, and at all their various occu pations. Considering his relative share of this prosperity, the farmed ought to be the last one of all to want a change. . ' "And yet planked steak; Is not a rstap!a with toapfllng housea. - , .

' One of the first tasks our new re form democratic sheriff undertook to perform after he was Inducted into office wis to knock cat the law pro viding for Jail feeding by contract in order to return to the old Jail feed ing graft which had long been dis carded. In this he was unsuccessful, but It Is not his fault that the county continues to have Its prisoners fed for 19 cents a day 'with the same food which used to cost It 45 cents day. Unabashed by, this setback, however, our reform democratic sher iff baa been trying to restore the graft basis for feeding, state prison ers by rendering bills to the state at the rate of 60 cent a' day for what the contractor is doing for the county or 19 cents a day,' When, the state auditor rejected the preposterous claim, our reform, democratic, sheriff went into court down irC'Lancaster county to force, payment and, losing again, has given notice that he will appeal to .the supreme court.

A month from now they will be talking over how, the mountain states handled them.

To tie Credit of Base Ball, The authorities of base ball an nounce that they have resorted to every available means of preventing fraud in the printing or handling of tickets to the world's .championship games between Boston and New York clubs, they have worked upon this task for' months and conclude their efforts in the belief that, for the first time, they have completely succeeded in shutting out the crooked specula tor and gambler, who, as parasites, nave sougnt for years to fasten them selves upon the game.? T ; This is to the credit and honor of base ball. It should command new admiration inspire new teal In a sport Americans have nationalised a sport that ' has' fronv the first de- fled crookedness and therefore sur vived. It now is a business In which some 830.000,000 annually change hands. It employs thousands directly and indirectly and stirs the cockles ot the American heart in a way nothing else quite can. Long may it live and It will so long as its votaries are men like those who have met the crook and beaten him at every turn and trick. Of course, from the purely sel fish side, men with their all invested In the game are too shrewd but to see that the minute it is contamin ated with gambling It is dead. Thirty Years Arc The Young Men's Christian association have secured a lease for two years on what was formerly known as Standard hall and the five rooms adjoining, which will be fitted up at once for parlors, reading rooms, secretary's office and gymnasium and with one of the best halls In Omaha, Thirty-five additional seats have been placed in the Dodge Street Presbyterian church. .

Bookmaker ' of the Second infantry returned after a three months' trip in Europe. Private Secretary Morrissey of the governor's official family came up from Lincoln to cast a wistful and watchful eye over the political situation in Doug laa county and bring greetings to the Swnoset braves. J. C. lah announced that he was plan ning a business block at Thirteenth and Jones streets to cost $40,000. W, W. Lowe sold his interests In the L. & L.

Btenberg was proudly dls playing some corn grown on his Douglas county farm, which he said would go sixty bushels to the acre, M. Hayken received the sad news that his daughter, Joale, 20 years of a?, had died In Chicago, and Mr. Hayken left at once for that city. ' Tn Years Aeo Walter 3. Austin, head accountant ot Armour's In Sioux City, and Miss Selma K. Fleming, step-daughter ot U P. Vogel, were married at S p. m., at ths home of the bride's parents, 1325 South Thirty-second street, with Miss Blanche Howard as maid of honor and Walter Barnell of Sioux City, as best man; while Marjory Howland was ring-bearer. They departed later In the evening for Wash ington and New' York, on a wedding trip. General Charles F.

' The report of the finance committee ot St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church showed that In two weeks' time ss.iw had been, pledged against the debt ot $10,000.

New York Tribune. So "Bill" Fllnn disinterestedly gave more than $100,000 from his own pocket to carry the Pennsylvania primaries for Roosevelt! No wonder the colonel is convinced that he to a pure patriot He is even a purer patriot than George W. Perkins or Frank A. Munsey, who gave less than $40,000 apiece to promote the colonel's preliminary canter. A Peerleea Champion. New York Sun. "I have no ambitions politically," said William Fllnn, telling his simple story under oath in Washington, "and I hope to continue my Interests In politics In the future. I am not averse to contributing to the things I believe in." A peerless champion of popular rights, he has tbe money to gratify his whims, even his fancy to sit In the United States senate t) hold up the hands of Theodore Roose velt. ' A practical champion, William Fllnn! , "Onward, Chrln Soldier." New York World. It cost William Flinn, the Pittsburgh contractor-boss, $144,000 to stand at Arma geddon and battle for the Lord. But it was cheap at that. According to tha wicked Penrose. Fllnn once offered $1,000,000 for a United States senatorahip In Pennsylvania- That, of course, is a deliberate and unqualified falsehood, but It helps to show what the office is really worth. If FUnn can now get the senator ship for a. paltry $144,000, besides making the country "a better place for his chil dren." it la a great bargain, in view of the high cost of living elsewhere. On ward, Christian Soldiers! Shaming- th Tfrhtfvade. Philadelphia Record. According to Mr. Fllnn, whose word we have no occasion to doubt, numerous thousands of Pennsylvania patriots now so strenuously opposed to one-man con. trol of public affairs in this common, wealth were such tightwads during the days when Colonel Roosevelt's cause needed the cash to meet the necessary expenses of a strenuous campaign. In which thousands of officeholders were contributing to the other side, that they permitted Mr. Fllnn to pay practically all of tbe expenses of that fight Is it possible that a good part cf the $144,000 spent by Mr. Fllnn was paid to SMILING REMARKS. A Seaadaona CoafraaloB. Philadelphia Ledger. William Fllnn stated under oath yester day that be expended $144,308 of his own funds last spring to carry the primaries for Roosevelt and become the republican boss of Pennsylvania. This extraordinary confession could be made only by a man of Immense wealth. Fllnn is a rich man, very rich, and he amassed his millions out of politico-municipal contracts at Pittsburgh. It was In consequence of the close alliance between municipal polttlci and municipal Jobs that he was enabled to make this stupendous contribution to win a state primary for Roosevelt, and unblushingly confess participation in a scandal surpassing any revelation yet made in this remarkable campaign. Another Gold Brick. New York World. Commenting on the Harrtman con trlbution in 1304. the Press admits that both the republican national and state tickets "profited by the expenditure" of this money, hut Insists that "all the let ters that passed between Roosevelt and Harrlman are full of evidence that Roose velt showed no. favor to him." In other words, after Harrlman's money "turned" 60,000 votes for Mr. Roosevelt "in the city of New York alone, making a differ ence of lOC.OOO votes in the general result Harrlman found that Roosevelt had sold him a gold brick, Just as Fllnn sold Quay a gold brick. . , Ideal and Domrbnanrs. ; St Louis Globe-Democrat. , The Roosevelt manager, testifying as to the distribution of the Roosevelt nomina tion fund, said that .

LIST TO THE W0EDS OF JOB Heads Hie Republican Ticket in the Empire State. People Talked About A Combination Hard to Beat. Sam Blythe gets off this one in the ante-chamber' of his Who's Who page: ,l , Representative Dudley M. Hujrhes of Georgia Is called a farmer, statnaman ! and devotes much of his time to the agricultural Interests of . his district He has requests for many new kinds. ot seeds, and a time ago he received this letter: Dear Dud: Sam Yopp's been UUIn' me of a new seedless tomatter the guvment is growinV I'm writing to you in hopes you will send me some of the seeds. Assuming that fact beats fiction, at least one member of congress has a lifetime lease on his job. For how can such a combination suffer defeat? In the first place, a t democrat In Georgia; next, himself, a farmer, and third, close enough to' his constitu ents to be addressed by them' in the mall as ."Dear Dud." . There may be another good single-handed office holder or two In that house, but none to match "Dear Dud." The govern ment may safely rely on his eminent services Indefinitely. All of which only goes to show that It is not what a statesman does at Washington so much as how he works things at home that holds him in his seat,..-.. -' The trouble with the man who stops smoking Is that he appears to think the matter of sufficient interest to tha pub lio to justify him in giving a parade, president Nichoiaa Murray Butler, of Columbus university, will soon move into the new house which ths trustees havs built for him and his successors os Mornlngslde Heights, only a block from the campus. ;Mulal Hafld, tbe ex-sultan of Morocco, took back to Tangier mora than $00,000 worth of souvenirs bought during his stay in Franc.

Mlsa Alice Kay, daughter of the late secretary of state. "This country Is more prosperous than ever before than any country was before. The - complaint is against the ratio of distribution of prosperity which is the fruit of our scheme of things. And there is a good deal of justification for the complaint A lot of people aren't getting that kind of justice that goes by tbe nam of th 'square deal.' . "But it isn't a square deal when one fellow deals all th time. A lot ot the agitation that has stirred things up comes from fellows who want to do all the deal ing. And people are going to suspect the squareness of any deal where one fellow or one side does all of it" Th speaker was Job Elmer Hedges. republican candidate, for governor of New York.. Halt a score of reporters were grilling him a few hours after he had won the nomination. The reporters were sounding th depths of the man, and th clear cut picture of th situation cams In response to a question on the spirit ot the bull moose movement It Is typical of the quaint and effective way In which Job Elmer Hedges expresses his convic tions. , ' - .' ' -' ' ; Th main objection urged against th nomination of Hedges was his humorous bent a tendency to be "funny," which appals a class of sombre mortals' whose hearts never reflect the sunshine of life. They hav urged it against me," he said to th reporter. ' "Somebody advised m In case I had the opportunity to get on that platform and accept th nomination for governor, not to tell any funny story. Well, X didn't Now, as a matter of fact I hav never told ten stories In my Ufa I wish I could. I can't remember tn blamed things. But I can see a contrast, and recognise the psychology ot a situa tion. And th reason I can see them If that I know men; I can tell What they are thinking about and put the thing so that It will get to them. Whether I am elected or not, I expect to b just myself, and conduct myself So that when I put th lights out at night I can go to bed without being ashamed of Job Hedges." Mr. Hedges is the author t a book called "Common Sense tn Politics," whloh bristles with epigrams. A few of these may serve to Illustrate his mor cynical humor, although the book, which Is a serious effort 18 lacking In th cheery wit which enlivens his after-dinner ad dresses. ' "Statesmen and politicians." he writes, "cry 'Go to the public but their policy Is to keep awsy from It" ' ' ' Mm X 'Men claiming to speak for the publlo roar about th necessity of taking tth public into their confidence. They know better. They know that they only tell the publlo what they think it is wise tor it to know." "It is sometimes asserted that it Is a disgrace to die rich. It Is safe to say, however, that the men who have uttered those statements have drawn their wills." Bom of Mr. Hedges lighter humor may be gleaned from these extracts from his speeches: "Politicians snd lawyers are supposed to keep secrets, but there is always tha i desire to whisper things confidentially to one's intimate friends. When a man tells hs brother something there Is one maq to whom the confidence has been told; When ha tells his partner there are two, but when he tells a third man' there art 111. because three ones' always read that way." - , - "The difference between a politician and a statesman Is simple. ' Anyone will tell you that a politician is always trying to do some one for something and any statesman will tell you that he Is always trying to do something for some ona" "In politics there are always those who are prone to question even apparent facta. These voters remind me ot the experience of a friend of mine who boarded a Thirty fourth street crosstown ear bound for Long Island ferry. He was anxious to get to his destination, and knowing that 5 New York cars do not always have their forward signs properly turned, he ac costed the conductor who collected his fare 'and demanded- " , " 'Does this car stop at th ferry? : "Begorra, If It don't we'll land In the river.' was th response."
