Washington April 20, 1910.
The ondearura that Senator Burkett
has been making for the last two or
three years to prevent foderal courts
from interlBiiog with state officer in
the performance of their duties seems
destined to bear some fruit. The Ju
diciary Committee has reported a bill
providing that before an injunction
shall be granted the application mnxt
be heard before three judges, at least
two of whom shall be circuit judges,
and providing that appeal shall he di
rectly to the Supreme Court. While
it does Dot go- so far as Senator Burk
ett's bill, it is a step in the light di
rection and recognizes to a degree at
least the contentions of Senator Dark
ett that the federal courta have hereto
fore been too free in their interference
with state officers in the performance
of their legal duties.
Irrigation and drainage are two im
portant propositions to Nebraska. Ir
rigation, of course, has long been a reo
ognized factor in increasing land val
ues, but the Question of drainage has
not been siven so much attention. It
is being recognized more amhmoie,
however, for the farmers as fhey nn
derstand it better are realizing that
drainage, properly installed, is worth
more to them than they had supposed.
The Drainage Kureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is one of growing
importance ss its work is better under
stood, and advantage is being taken
of it by many communities throughout
Nebraska. Doffn in Richardson Coun
ty there is a great drainage district
that it is believed will increase farm
values hundreds of thousands of dol
lars when it is completed. It includes
a part of the lands of the Sao & Fox
Indians, and henoe a bill Bus been
necessary to enable their lands to be
assessed for the ensti The bill, which
was introduced by Senator Burkett,
has passed the Senate, and will donbt

Some English seem to think all
meats coming In should be marked
either "foreign" or "colonial" to show
the buyer that he was not getting Eng
lish meat. Every one of the chief
Joints would have to be stamped, and
the exporter would have to do the
stamping. Further, the butcher deal
ing In "foreign" as well as English
meat must announce the fact on his
shop front, so' that his customers may
know he deals in both foreign and
English meats. Some of the farmers
complain that much foreign meat Is
passed off as English to bring down
their prices.
"Mob" Is the only one of the abbre
viated words protested against by
Dean Swift which has conquered even
the purists of speech. "Incog" is still

other abbreviated forms have won. A
cabriolet Is a "cab" to everybody now,
though to Dickens' Mr. Raddle it was
still a "cabrioly." "Miss" for "mis
tress," "piano" for "pianoforte" and
"sweets" for "sweetmeats" are univer
sal. Nevertheless, many people still
apologize for "bus" Instead of "omni
bus" and wage a losing fight against
"phone" and against "photo."
Consul Thomas H. Norton, of Chem

other European countries. It is not
only employed largely for food for
both man and beast, but also for con
version into starch and alcohol. The
1!08 crop was estimated at 46,500,000
metric tons (51,256,950 short tons),
12,000,000 tons being used for human
food and 19,000,000 tons for feeding
domestic animals. Starch factories
utilized 1,500,000 tons, distilleries
2,500,000 tons, while 5.500,000 tons
were required for seed."
