State Convention Today.
The republican state convention will
moot at Lincoln today, Taft and Roose
velt supporters will have a light that is
worthy the name. Two hundred and fifty
delegates have been contested and still
more will be subject to protest on the
giound of their not being eligible to sit
in a republican convention. Ail efforts
to harmonize the two factions have
proven futile, and word from Lincoln is
to the offect that both the regulars and
the insurgents nro proceeding on the
theory that there will be two conven
tions and that the right to use the party
name will be eventually brought before
the court of adjudication.
Hadley or Norris Which?
Governor Hadley of Missnouri made
a speech at nn Illinois Chnutauquu
Tuesday on "republican round-up day,"
and told five thousand people why ho
had chosen to remain "regular and
support Taft for president. Hadley
wns tho Taft lender at Chicago and had
been consistnntly progressive from tho
beginning of tho movement. He did
all thut he could, honorably, to secure
Roosevelt's nomination. He declares
however, that there were no unfair
methods employed to securo latts
nomination, as alleged by Roosevelt
and the bolters. Surely there is as
much reason to believe Hadley as there
is to gulp down tho barefaced assertion
of George W. Norris that Roosevelt
wns the "legal nominee." As a matter
of fact Governor Hadley hns Bet n
good exnmple to a large number Of
frenzied backers of tho Roosevelt boom
thnt they could have followed with
honor unit Profit and pence to their
souls. Kearney Hub.
Some Railroad Figures.
During tho year onding.Iuno 30, 1911
the railroads of this county transported
nearly ono billion people tb bo exact
997,409,882. This was an incrense of
25,720,083 oyer tho preceding year. The
nverago receipts per passenger for ench
mile traveled wasa trifle over l.Ocenta.
The number of tons of freight handled
wns 1,781,037,954, a docrenso from the
previous yenr of 08,202,147 tons. The
average receipts per mile for ench ton
handled was a fraction over S-ccnt.
During tho year 240, 12-1.4 miles of
lino wero operated, the total mileage
of all tracks being3G2,710.18 miles. Tho
roads employed 01,327 locomotives and
2,859,335. cars, .a considerable incrense
in equipment.
The total number of persons on the
nay rolls of the steam roads was
1,009,809, a decreaso of 29,101 ns com
pared with tho previous year.
Theodore Roosevelt least of all
warrant for protesting against
liatt
the
action of tho republican national con
vention. That body wns created in
much tho same way, and tho national
committee ncted under identically the
same rules, that wero good enough for
President Roosevelt when he was re
nominated in 1901, and for his own pur
pose again in 1908 when ho used tho
entire organization nnd power of tho
party to nominate William H. Tuft. If
that system was an unwisoono it suited
tho Roosevelt purpose until it was
turned against hfm. Tho thing then to
do is to change the system, and make
it more thoroughly representative for
1916, instead of using it without protest
in 1903 and condemning it for aporsonnl
reason in 1912. In his own time Presi
dent Roosevelt found a pretty good
political machine and developed it to a
nigh state of perfection, lie used it
for himself. Also for Mr. iTaft. And
when he went out of office it was still
ihere, roqdy to be usod for Taft again
in 1912, in fairness nnd justice as
against Roosevelt's demand for n nomi
nation for a third term. -Kearney Hub.
Kansas City Journal: Governor
Dennen of Illinois is ono of the strong
republicnn loaders whoso support gave
stability nnd potency to tho Roose
velt candidacy. While Roose
velt was a republican and was
making his fight within tho party
that had bo highly honored him. Gover
nor Donoon was his faithful ally. Out
whon Roosevelt deiorted he forfeited
all claim to the support of republicans,
and Deneen, following tho oxamplo of
Hauloy, refused to quit tho party ho
has believed In and fought for so long
to follow the fortune of an ambitious
bolter. As hu i a candidate for re
election. Mr- Deneen may seem to have
taken a horoic courso in this matter, in
as much as his state sent an enthusias
tic Roosevelt delegation to tho Chicago
convention; but the governor is an as
tute politician and it is quite probablo
that he found his chances of victory
would be much bettor as a republican
than as a bull moose.
Press dispatches from Utah state
that "Theodore Roosevelt is the head
of a new party born in Utah," nnd thnt
the resolutions passed "exprossod
sorrow at leaving the republican
party." Tho Utah bull mooses do not
longer consldor themselvos republicans,
thoy have loft tho party bag and
baggage. In Utah the deserters aro
honest, they do not as in other status,
claim to be republicans. ,
That water does not exist at a depth
of 200 or moro feet in all sections of tho
city, has been demonstrated by tho city
water department. A well 2GU feot nnd
ten inches deep has just been drilled
and then abandoned for the reason that
after reaching a depth of about fifty
feet no water was encountered This is
evidence that the waterbearing strntas
do not lay together. The experience of
Die city is similar to that of tho Union
Pacific company.
Right of Way Law Against Union
Pacific.
Atty. W. A. Prince of Grand Island,
one of the lending lawyers em
ployed in tho light against the Union
Pacific claim of four hundred feet as
a right of way, has announced the pas
sage by congress nnd approval by the
president of a bill restricting the rail
road's claim to a good deal Ies3 than it
assumed it owned.
"The effect of tho bill," says Mr.
Prince, is apparent and may be sum
marized as follows."
1. In all enses where the Union Pa
cific conveyed the land by deed, the
purchaser will hold title to the land up
to the distance of fifty feet of tho
center of the right of way unless other
wise specified in the deed.
2. In the case of homesteaders
where the owner of the property hus
been in possession for ten years or
more ho will hold title to within fifty
feet of the center of the right of way.
3. In all cases where it enn be
shown by the evidence that the rail
road has abandoned tho property for
railroad purposes and people have ac
quired title either by deed from the
company or nuverso possession, iney
have an absolute fee simple title in the
property to within fifty leetof the cen
ter of the right of way.
"In other words," said Mr Prince
in speaking of the bill, "the general
effect is to narrow the right of way to
fifty feet on each side of the center of
the main line in all eases where the
parties have a valid claim to the prop
erty up to that line. And I might
further say. in reference to this bill ns
it was finally passed and signed by
President Taft, thut it granted to tho
settlers more than they asked for in
their original bill."
