Speaking boforo ICO leading mem bers of tho progressive party of Indi ana, George W. Perkins, of Now York, chairman of tho national cxccutlvo committee of that party, declared that Industrial chaos would result In this country after tho European war was over, through the flooding of tho mar kets of tho United States with Euro pean manufactured products. Ho as Bcrted tho only solution of this proh l .m was In non-partisan tariff com mission such as was proposed by tho progrosivo party In 1912. Reviewing what Uo believed would bo the lncvlutablu reulU of tho heavy importations from European countries nftr tho war, Mr. Perkins said that doiivstlc competition would bo para llel and that home commerce and manufacture Would suffer Irreparable Injury. ?iobniH!in Wins First Place.

(Luclcn Stebblns, of North Platte, in tho Omaha Poo.) To tho Editor bf the Dee: From a report of tho Farmers' congreis re cently held in Omaha, It appears that the sago of Silver Creek did not ap prove of tho woman suffrage plank ot the resolutions, claiming that It was no part of farming. So much so good for Wooster. Passing minor matters of entertainment, we come to tho prime purposo of the Omaha farmers' oongross, tho endorsement of Wilson'3 democratic administration which was reported unanimous. The query now conies up, nro nil tho farmers in Ne braska democrats, or were only demo crats Invited to the congress? Tho great common people of this country have become Indifferent to party affiliation. They recognize what Is tortned tho "Invlsablo govern ment" Is not confined to any one, par ty. They also recognlsco that tho taking advantnge of being In power by any party to advertlso Its special Interests does not contribute to the merit of such party. If a farmers' congress was not a place to propogandlzo wo man's suffrage sure It Is not a place to propogandlzo any political party's Interest. Tho people should got wise to this trick regardless of tho party that performs It. Democracy Is a principle the antl podejnf aristocracy not a party. Tjje democracy of Jefferson and the re publicanism of Lincoln are one sig nificance of opposition of aristocracy. Regardless of present party conten tion to amuse tho public, there are three basic principles of a prosperous people in this ago of civilization. 1. The land upon which to subsist this Includes labor and Its products. 2. Means of transportation of com modities. 3. TJjo medium of exchange valued --this wo call money. Whoever owns one of these three controls tho other tVi, and whoever owm the three holds tho nation In slavery. I do not proposo to horo eulogize or crltlclso any party, but as parties arc under consideration they niU3t bo me-mtloncd. Barring for want of space a consideration of the United Stntes banking system, wo come to the federal reserve system , which tho democratic party luiA sponA throe years to materialize, outsido ot the time they spent on tho tariff and other nonsense. Tho federal rescivo sys tem has placed tho commerce and in dustry of this nntion Jn control of seven directors. No person or par ties can do any extended amount of business without their consent. . Tliey can carry on tho war In Europe indefi nitely without a dollar of lawful mon ey.. They can control with other In-1 ternatlonal alliances the commerce of tho world on tho unlimited credit of this government. But tho farmer whoso labor supports tho system can not borrow a dollar from It to save himself from bankruptcy. Wake up you farmers: Send somo farmers to congress, If they have to go on foot, and have to carry a shot gun to defend tho farmers' interest. Wilson will soon have to call a kln dorgarton school, and Bryan has gone to sloop In tho "gcntlo life." Some body has got to "get there!" Tho system that is In oporation will drift tills nation to International despotism unlossi.the farmers arousd themsolves boforo It Is eternally too late.

Cor or Roaditor, complete, o. b, Detroit) A Notary's Discomfiture By D WIGHT NORWOOD Mnny years ago In the city of Rheltus. in France, which hns of late been the scene of fighting between the French and the Germans, there lived an old notary. In France a notary Is n law yer, but in tho olden time a lawyer was not of much more Importance so far as his work was concerned than a notary Is with us today. Jules Farlleux, the notary of Rhelius, had accumulated seme 50,000 francs, which had come to him through small fees. Tills sum - $10,000 in our money was quite n for tune In those du.VH, OHpceially In France. whole everything was very cheap and i ne couIt live comfortably on a small income. . The old man had one child, a daugh ter. Delphine. ti whom he expected to leave his property, and It was his ex pectation that she should marry a man having at least an equal amount. What wns his chagrin, therefore, when ho learned that she hmi fallen In love wit'i ipboiise Du Hols, a young fellow who had Just been graduated from a lav school In Purltt and settled In Ithcims to practice his profession without a sou to Ills nnuie. The notary simply forbade his daughter to have anything to do w ltb tho man. One day throe men came into Jules Farllcux's olHce. and after asking if and being fissured that ho wns the "distin guished notary" with whom so many persons intrusted their affairs and their moneys they asked him to take caro oi 100,000 francs In gblr! which was theirs Jointly. Jules accepted tho trust. It be ing agreed that lie Hliould deduct T per cent of the amount when the money was returned. Ho was then nsked to draw up a contract to that effect, In which he stipulated to pay over the money to the three men together nnd not to any one or two' of them sepa rately. The contract having been sign ed, the men departed, leaving tho gold on a table. As the notary was gather ing It up to put In his strong box ono of the men returned, saying ho had been deputed by the others to count the money before It was put away. While he wan doing so a stranger ennio hurriedly Into the otllce and. after taking the notary into a rear room, asked him some questions concerning a matter which ho seemed to consider of imme diate importance. 'JEhe notary tried to get away from him, but found it Impos sible. Y hen he was permitted to re turn to the other room both the money and the man who had been counting it were gone. Farlleux found himself in a very un pleasant portion. Uo had receipted for 100,000 francs which ho was to pay to the three owners together. One of them had taken tho amount, nnd the notary would bo obliged to Indemnify tho others, which would require nearly double all bo possessed. Ho heard nothing from any of the men for a month; then ono morning tho two who had lost their share came to him and demanded it. The notary believed thnt tho men had conspired to swindle him, but un less lie could prove this be had no hope of saving tho little fortune he had been a lifetime. In accumulating and whlcli was to go to his daughter, for a dowry. He made every effort to prove that the men were dishonest and in collusion, but was not nble to do so. After a formal demand for their money tho two men put tho caso In tho courts, and a day was sot for trial. Alphonse Du Bols learned of tho caso from his sweetheart, Louise, and the probable loss of her dowry. IIo told her to say to her father that he would save him from the swindle If he would consent to his mnrrlage with her. Louise gave tho old man the message and it made him very angry. "What!" be exclaimed. "Does this popinjay who hns no experience In the law proposo to do what I, who have been a notary for forty years, cannot do?" Louise argued with her father, say ing that nothing would be lost by per mitting Alphonse to take the case and something might bo gained. Since the old man s principal grief was that she would bo deprived of her dowry, she finally won him over, but not until the ease had been called In court, and If any defense was to bo put in it must be done at once Then the notary, who could see no possible excuse un der tho contract to avoid indemnifying the plaintiffs, agreed that in case Du Pols saved his fortune it should go to Louise as his bride. Tho young lawyer arose In court and called for a reading of tho cor.traaj. Wlien the reader came to the words. "And the said Farlleux shall pay to the said depositors together and to no one or two separately tho sum of 100, 000 francs." Du Pols stopped him and said: "Your honor, my clidut is ready to pny the 100,000 francs speclllcd under tho contract to the three depositors to gethcr. but Is prohibited by the con tract from paying tho money to two of them separately." Tho Judge dismissed tho caso, for thr moment the third mnn who had gone off with the funds should appear he would bo arrested, and the notary need not pay till lie was present. Tho mnn who had gone nway wltli the deposit never returned, and the notary wns never ngaln called on to pay it. Da Bols married Louise, but declined to permit her o accept the dowry. . The .reputation ho made by his handling of tho case in court brought ilni a practice that eventually rmuie jilui .wan. WARMT orth Platte Light & C. R. HOREY, Mgr. 4"rf U Alii O JftEflg J3k ' -itS. L.
