Govknnok Savagk on New
Year's eve granted an uncondi
tional pardon to ex-Stale Treas
urer Joseph S. IJartlcy, who wan
sentenced to twenty years' im
prisonment but had served less
than six. In his action Governor
Savage lias committed an admin
istrative error and a political
mistake that will not be over
looked by nine-tenths of his
party voters in the state, and so
far as his political future is con
cerned he is as dead as a dried
herring. In our opinion the
Governor's act is indefensible;
there is absolutely no good
ground upon which he can excuse
himself, and it certainly looks as
though he had became a pliant
tool of corrupt influences. Bart
ley was charged with the specific
offense ot stealing nearly two
hundred thousand dollars. lie
was tried before a jury of his
nccrs and convicted. The case
was a. hard fought one; every
word of testimony favorable to
the accused that could be secured
was presented to the jury; the
trial was square, fair and the
sentence not excessive. The
defense of Governor Savage that
Bartlcv had saved several banks
from disaster is no palliation of
the flatter's offense; and none
but'a weak man would consider
such. Governor Savage has
proven a weak man, a disappoint
ment to his party, and his pardon
of Bartlcy is a disgrace to him
self, his state and his party. It
is indeed unfortunate that he
has another vcar to serve as
governor.
Tin-: "community of interests'
plan as adopted by the railroads
of this country last year gives
the Hill system 18,376 miles, the
Union Pacific system 13,811
miles, the Pennsylvania system
18,275 miles, the Santa Fe sys
tern 8,486 miles, and the South
crn system 7,004 miles. It is
now nrcdictcd, however, that
the lack of harmonv between the
heads of the "community of in
tcrcsts" plan and the attacks
which arc threatened by legisla
tors will result in the death o
the plan.
Down in St. Louis they have
society known as the "dir
caters," which was organized by
a scientist named Windsor. Th
members go on the theory tlm
the human stomach requires
certain amount of grit, and this
is supplied , by eating sterilize
mud. There may be something
in it. Here in North Platte
where the winds force us
to
swallow dust and gravel, th
death-rate is exceedingly low
This may be due to the dust
Ex-Gov. HoiiO, of Texas, who
but a short time ago was one
the most rampant shouters
against trusts, is now in New
York forming a company with a
capital of twenty million dollars,
the object of which is to buy up
and consolidate the Texas oil
laud interests. Such instances
as this is a warning to all to be
ware of the loud-mouthed "re
former." Duhino the past two years the
interest bearing debt of this
country has decreased ninety
two million dollars and the an
nual interest charge has fallen
from forty to twenty-eight
million dollars. This showing,
taken from Treasurer Gage's
balance sheet, is said to be the
mofct satisfactory ever shown.
IRRIGATION LEGISLATION.
The question of irrigation has
)ccn given renewed vitality since
resident Roosevelt discussed it
so clearly and forcefully in his
nnual message. It has revived
ntcrcst in this state, which has
such large tracts of land, that
may be made productive by an
ntelligcnt application of water.
Our senators and representatives
n congress are in perfect accotM
with the president's views.
Boards of trade and commercial
clubs throtighont the state, as
well as the press, arc agitating
the (lucstion. For all these
reasons an article in the January
umber of the Forum by Pro
fessor Elwood Meade, on "The
roblcms of Irrigation Legisla
tion" will be read with general
ntercst. lie says:
"It is more than probable that
mgation will occupy an irnport
n t place in the discussions .of
the present congress, and that
cgislation will be enacted which
will inaugurate a new era in in-
ustrial development in the west.
lhc world-wide movement to
ward the Pacific which has fol
owed our recent achievements
n war and commerce has awak-
tied an interest in the vast un
developed region which sepa
rates the humid east from that
ocean, and has stimulated a de
sire for its settlement. Expan-
. a ft a
sion abroad promises to be lol
owed by an equally momentous
expansion at home.
"There are other reasons why
this subject is likely to receive
attention from congress. Here
after, those who seek homes on
the public domain must look for
them in the arid part of the
United States, where cultivated
crops cannot be grown by the aid
of rainfall alone. The homestead
of the future must be irrigated.
Before the settler can plant his
fields with any hope of reaping a
harvest, be must provide the
water supply which the clouds
do not furnish; and the ability to
do this will be the measure o
settlement. The immtgrant
working alone cannot accomplish
this. Formerly he could do so,
but not now. The land which
could be watered by small, cheap
ditches has all been filed upon.
"The further extension of the
watered area requires cither the
diversion of large rivers or the
storage of water which now How
down from the mountains when
it cannot be used. In order to
do cither of these things,, costly
dams must be built to withstand
the Hoods which beat against
them; great canals, extending
for miles to the remote table
lands, will have to be excavated;
and expert engineering talent
must be employed to design
these structures and to prepare
no less important plans for the
management of the commcrcc'in
water which their construction
will create. The day of individ
ual effort has passed. Success
m the future requires the organ
ization of the irrigation industry
and the expenditure of public or
corporate funds on a scale not
heretofore possible. Before riv
ers like the Missouri, the Big
Horn, the Green or the Columbia
can be iput to use, irrigation
works must be built rivaling in
magnitude and cost those along
the Ganges and the Nile,
"This will not be done until
there has been legislation by con
gress. The arid states cannot
do it, because they have not the
means, Private capital will not,
because experience has shown
that costly private works to re
claim public lands arc not profit
able. . Only congress, as the
custodian of the public domain,
can provide the conditions indis
pensable to satisfactory pro
gress. Because of these facts,
agricultural settlement in the
west has been for many years
slow; and unless more favorable
conditions are secured the re
claiming of .public land will soon
be ipractically at an end. The
conquest of the desert is a great
undertaking;; and even with all, Offers her services to nil dc
the aid congress can be induced siring- such, Call at the office of
to extend, prdofress lUVrcaftc'r"
will not be rapid.
"The desire of the west how
ever, is not so much for rapid
development as for the creation
of better social and industrial
conditions. The first generation
of homemakcrs is notlonging for
new ditches, new settlers, or in
creased demands on the water
supply until it is asssurcd of rc-
icf from from the evils and un
certainties incident to the hap-
lazard development of the past."

RockaBye Baby
These are sweet words, but how much
pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mother's Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mother's Friend Is a liniment to be
applied externally. It Is rubbed thoroughly
Into the muscles of the abdomen. It gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mother's Friend Is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. If a
woman Is supplied with this splendid lini
ment she need never fear rising or swelling
breasts, morning sickness, or any of the
discomforts which usually accompany preg
nancy. The proprietor of a large hotel In Tampa,
Fla writes: "My wife had an awful time
with her first child. During her second
pregnancy, Mother's Friend was used and
the baby was born easily before the doctor
arrived. It's certainly great."
