MAY I, 1911 The ant I -Japanese turmoil in Calif ornia and the cf forts of the national administration to prevent unneces sary friction betwen the United States and Japan over the matter have given the Jingoes, in and out of congress, an opportunity to air themselves. An appropriation of $25,000 was asked of the Nebraska legislature, iuid node by it although vetoed by the governor, for an astronomical Observatory at tin state farm near Lincoln. The Lincoln Star says it was not for the purpu of permit ting the agricultural students to ob obrv the cow jump over the moon ov to facilitate the planting of crops upon astrologies. theories. The ren sen given U that the observatory in the city in so near the street car trucks thai the can Jar the big tele scope and make It use at times very unsatisfactory. One of The Herald's most highly e-teemed exchanges is The Oshkosh Herald, published by r.wnpert Bent7. Co. at the county seat, of Garden county, and it pains us much to see jt Uu'uwiu seventeen different kinds of Tits over the I'ndfruood tariff bill, "backed by the administration". loeordlng to the Oslikosh paper, the reduction made in the tariff by the new tariff bill will not only send the i . lories of the United States to the lmnition bow wows, but the farmers will follow headlong to destruction. I beer up, gentlemen. The new tariff law may turn the moon to blood, cause the sun to stop labhilng, bring drouth and tornadoes; but let's hope for the best. Let's be optimistic while we may. Seriously, the people generally know too well that for many years the pretended protection to the farmers afforded by the tariff has been a hoax, while the powerful trusts that need no protection from (he tariff have been the principal beneficiaries of the system. REMEDY IS NOW SUGGESTED Alliance, Nebr., Local aents His Views on Reduce Incendiary Agent Pre Means to Losses The following article, taken from the Western Underwriter of April 2-ttb, Is attract inr, a great deal of at tent ion. It la written by John . tiuthrie, of Alliance. The article reads as follows: Alliance. Nebr..

Ho had uot built on his Scottshluff property but was living in n rented house. There is abso lutely no ground whatever for the sensational stories which are being circulated.

Writing an insurance policy a only ; Binotner way Ol extending credit, evn if the credit is only contingent upon a fire, and the agent or inspector that tries can find out all required information. Where boards are not allowed or maintained, a certain man can be appointed, by the state sec retary of the fire prevention bureau, or some other body, such as the Blue Goose. Western Union through the governing board, and If the city is large enough and the business of sufficient volume, pay a salary. Where It will not Justify that ex pense, let each agent pay a speci fied Tee for each report on every request, whether policy la Issued or not, the same as is done by life in surance companies foe medical exam ination or reports on the aural char acter of their applicants. The expense of this system will be almost infinitesimal when compntv ed with the Incendiary loss now paid by the companies, and. If this expense can he borne by every other class of business and till show a profit, it can be done by fire Insur ance interests. In metropolitan clUeu divide aume Into districts, with an inspector in. charge of a c retain ... r rltocy which he can readily cower This can also be done In the tene ment districts.

However, some good laws were passed, for which we wish to give due credit where It belongs. Representative Earl D.

Representative Mallery introduced a bill practically identical with the one in the senate by Senator Bushee of Kimball, providing for at least sev en months school in every school district in r.he state. This bill was favored by membeis of the leglsla ture from the western part of the state, while the bill authorizing school districts to levy a maximum of thlrt five mills, instead of twenty-five, was put thmago. by eastern members. The state will have agricultural High suhxcls. as soon as the neu law providing for them can be put into practical operation. The new law providing for farm demonstrators, one for each count) applying therefor, is one that ma mean much to the counties of west ern Nebraska. One or Mallery's bills that got thru the grind aud became a law was tha switch) light bill, requiring that lamps be plat-ed on all switches where there are tiaina operated at night. The headlight law will make ele. trie, lights necessary on all loeomo. .Ives, as it requires a light sufficient to distinctly outline date figure u' a mu a distance of eight hundred f-r.
