Predicts Industrial Clinos.
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.

relation of tho kind of crops to water
requirements. Tho exhibit from North
Platto showed tho relative yields from
different tlllago methods, and the va
rieties of trees adapted to western
Nebraska conditions. A number of
trees were also shown that are not

Stebblns Sounds an Alarm.'
(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

There were three staid and sturdy

of the aforesaid poor old piece of

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.
