The Frontier. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY D. 13. CRONIN, Editor. ROMAINK SAUNDER8. Associate. The organizing of a locoinative trust will give railroads another pretext to raise freight rates. -M » «»»-♦ The Johnson County Journal says the hog is the mortgage raiser, the sheep the farm fertilizer, the cow the barn builder, aud the hen the grocery bill payor. This (junrtet, with a man and a woman not afraid of work in curing for them, will insure prosperity on any farm. -► —» --- Tho annual opinionalive discuss ion of Jdecoration day has came and editors are taking up the task cheer fully of setting the people right on the matter of observing tho mem orial day. It looks a littlo strange to say the least to see the pople eu gage in sports and fights and debauches on a day sacred to the dead, but when it is called to mind that these are the thiugs the masses of people relish its not so strange after all. -- — The Ktuart Ledger has again passed to other hands, the name of ltosa Hudspeth appearing at the mast-head last week. Tho new editor is the only lady editor in the county. For the first time in many months the Loger has a readable editorial page and as the new man agement is a newspaper woman of experience Ledger leaders may look for a good papor. It will remain republican. A good deal of coru, for some reason or other, is missing grades at Chicago, one day only 9 cars out of 179 passed as contract. The Inter Ocean says: “Largo samples of 800,000 bushels of corn held at an outside point was passed around among elevator men and receivers yesterday. The majority declared it to be good No. 2 corn but Surper vising Inspector Stnilie said it was too soft, and would grade No. <1. George H. Phillips says the inpec tion department is right in its grad ing of corn, as that failing to pass contains too much moisture.” There never was any money in it for the farmor to market corn. Feeding it into stock ^may perhnps require a little risk as hogs and steers will die— but the big per cent profits there are in it justifies all^risk. A hog or a steer will sell where a bushel of corn will go a begging. .— -. In commenting upon the fact that the United States recruiting officers are finding trouble in enlisting a sufficient number of men for the United States army, an exchange gives as a reason for this the fact that “work is too plauty and wages are too high” for young men to be eager to enter the service at prevail ing rates of pay. Here is more trouble for some of the anti-imperia lists, whose devotion to free-trade is matched only by their fury of opposition to the holding of the Philippines by this country. They don’t want men to enlist in the army, and they do want free-trade. But, with free trade established, the inevitable paralysis of American in dustry, which that would moan, would make work so scarce and the opportunities for earning a living at peaceful occupation so much fewer than they now are that enlistment in the army would become popular’ for their are two horns to the dilem ma. It is to be hoped that for the sake of their own peace of mind, the anti-imperialist, anti-protection and always anti-American coterie, of which Mr. Atkinson is a typical representaive, will be able to har monize things to their own satisfac tion. As regards anything but their own peace of mind, it doesn’t matter what they do, for their efforts are equally furtile as regards the beliefs or actions of others, whither they are attacking the foreign policy of the present administration or whether they are hammering, away at the American system of protection. Social Shams and Distinctions. Sunday Bee: When a high bred lady surreptitiously removes a roil of ribbon or bolt of dress goods from the counter and deftly con ceals it about her person she is called a kleptomaniac, but when a ■low-bred man carries a loaf of bread from the bakery for his starving family without paying for it ho is branded as a thief. When a broker sets up a gambling stall and tempts men to wager thou sands or even millions on the rise or fall of stocks he passes as a gentle man of high financial standing. But when another man sets up a gambling stall and 'tempts men to wager dimes and dollars in the games of faro, roouletto or stud poker he becomes a common gambler and outlaw. And yet in the legalized gambling house know as the stock exchange there can be no winner unless there is a loser any more than there can be in the cleu of out law gamblers. The men who wager money onj^margins in wheat and corn and stocks are ganfblers just as much as the men who bet with the red, blue and white discs. The man who pawns his watch and marriage ring and loses the proceeds at the faro table is no worse than the man who mortgages his house and collateral to the bank to cover margins in Wall stroet. Men are no more liable to kill each other or blow out their.brains when ruined at the gaming board than when ruined at the stock exchnnge or board of trade. The only differ once is that society makes stock gambling respectable and curd gambling and faro playing disre putable, and yet it is all gambling. A striking illustration of the shams of society is afforded by the distinction made between the man who cheats with louded dice or in a horse trade and the man who makes millions by sharp practico and frau dulent manipulation. The former is regarded as a rogue and swindler, while the latter bocomes a social lion and Napoleon of finance. These artificial discriminations of the modern code of etiquette seem to have secured a foothold firmly imbedded in the foundation of sooiety. How muoh longer can their recognition and observance be enforced f Difference in degree does not mean difference in character. It is possible the time may come when these fictions will be repudiat ed and everyone will call a spade a spade. -— One day of “being good” is all the people of Omaha can stand. After a Sunday of closed doors the mayor revoked his order and gave them a wide open town last Sunday. All cities have periodical outburst of morality and the result is always the same and will forever be the same while humau hearts cherish fleshly lusts that war against the soul. Incited by that restless and intolerant element that would force people to be as they are and think as they think, authorities may apply the lock and key, but the works of the flesh adultery, fornication, uncleanness, laciviousness, witch craft, strive, hatred, drunkeness, pride and pleasures—are still in humau hearts and will burst forth. Having forsaken the divine plan of winning people to hotter things, the intolerauFelemeiit invokes the secu lar arm, which can only and forever fail to change the hearts of men; and until the purposes of men are changed there can be no social reformation. Mayor Moores has given Omaha what the majority of Omahans want. ■ Mark Murray, the legislative edi tor of the Pender Times, suggests that the editor of this dissiminator of knowledge call the members of tho Northeast Nebraska Press asso ciation to assemble in convention in some city fairly convenient to a majority of the members. The writer, who was elected president of this august body two years ago this month, and who, in the fall months of that year, as provided in the written law, called convention, to meet in Randolph, that being the place of meeting selected by the last convention, l’he writer and Brother Leedom, jr., of Osmond, were the only members present. But this was probably only an accident. Northeast Ne braska editors should be organized as other trades and professions, and as this portion (northeast Nebraska) has published within its bounds some of the brightest and abliest edited papers in the state there is no reason why we should not have an organi zation that would reflect credit not only upon the members of this particular section but the entire state. We stand ready to call the meeting if the members suggest the time and promise to attend; but we believe Randolph would be a better point for said meeting than Norfolk. Agitate the subject, Mark, and let’s see if we can get the boys together. -- THE COUNTY PRESS. Stuart Ledger: Dan Hall, one of leading stock buyers of Stuart, has sold his ranch 15 miles north of Stuart to Jacob Boucher of Butler county, Neb. Mr. Boucher and family arrived at Stuart Wednesday evening taking his family, the next day, out to their home on the Niobrara river. Chambers Bugle: Married, on Sunduy April 28th, at Elgin, Neb., G. F. Dyson of Chambers to Miss Grace Riggs of Elgin. The groom is well and favorably known in Chambers and is a worthy young man. The bridal party started for California, where both the bride and groom, have friends. They are expected to re turn to Holt county in a few months and take up their residence upon their farm near Chambers. Ewing Advocate: The large two story brick we promised to tell you more about a couple of weeks ago will be. Au tone Drzweicki is perfecting ar raugements as fast as possible for the construction of a building 50x80, two stories high on the lots now oc cupied by J. P. Spittler’s implement warehouse. The first floor will be occupied by Lee Spittler & Drzwe icki with hardware and implements and the second floor will be fitted out for an opera honse. At its meeting Monday night the school board re elected Prof. Sorn son to be principal. Miss Ethyl Burlew was elected to be teacher of the primary room. Teachers for the grammar and intermediate rooms were not elected. The salary of the professor was increased $10 a month and of the other room only $2.50. The board uIho discussed the project of fencing the school house yard. Miss Burlew has taught with signal success in the district school and her election will give satisfaction. Miss Coppoc, who has so ably taught the primary room for the past three years did not apply, it being her purpose to quit teaching and become a deaconness. r Old Soldier’s Experience. M. M.

Will Include a l’aNlilonablc Horse Show, Model Dairy Exposition, Dis play of Agricultural rrodiiet* and Many Other IntereatinR Feature*. Tlie exhibit of Live Stock at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo next summer will include all varieties and breeds of domestic animals. Arrange ments have been made to accommodate 25,000 animals on the grounds. Liber al prizes in all classes will be offered. A fashionable Horse Show will be a prominent feature of the display and will include harness horses, saddlers, jumpers, etc. This exhibition will lie fashioned on the lines of the Madison Square Garden show and will l>e held at the Stadium. A model exhibition Dairy composed of all breeds of milk cows will be in operation during the six months of the Exposition. A great display of the varied agricul tural products from the various States, Provinces and Countries of the West ern Hemisphere will be made in the Agricultural building, covering two acres. The closing of the Nineteenth Cen tuavy has witnessed marvelous strides in the improvement of methods in the dairy world. Formerly the whole dairy business was conducted largely by “rule of thumb.” Instead of a vo cation requiring a certain apprentice ship it is fast becoming an exact science, in which chemistry and bacte riology play no insignificant part. The increasing interest and attendance at tlie various dairy schools throughout the United States and Canada and the existence of great co-operative and commercial organizations for the manufacture and sale of dairy prod ucts are an indisputable testimony to the achievements of modern science. In this great industry the Government has appropriated vast sums of money to help the dairyman in his work, and this is indicative of its importance as a factor of the great food problem of the world. The territorial lines of tlie dairy belt have long since been annihilated. A few States and Provinces in the East no longer enjoy tlie exclusive distinc tion of being in the dairy sections. In the Dairy building at the Exposition space has already been asked for by Maine and California, Manitoba and Texas. The supposed disadvantages of soil, water, climate and food in por tions of North America have largely been eliminated by the skillful dairy man, and today splendid representa F. A. COJ'/i-KSE. [Superintendent Live Stock, Dairy and Agricul ture, Pan-American Exposition.] tives of dairy animals are found wher ever the wholesomeness and nutritive value of milk products are known, and the increasing consumption of milk and its products bespeaks much for the future of the dairy business. Few people have any adequate con ception of the present magnitude of the dairy industry. In the United States and Canada there is one dairy cow to every four persons, or 20,000,000 cows. The annual milk production is estimat ed at $550,000,000. Add to this the val ue of dairy cows, $050,000,000, and we have $1,200,000,000. To this add the in vestments in dairy appliances, and we reach a grand total of $2,000,000,000 in vested in this great industry in the United-States and Canada. A large, beautiful building located near the Agricultural building will be devoted exclusively to Dairy Products and Dairy Apparatus. All the. milk products will be exhibit ed in glass cases, properly refrigerated for the purpose of maintaining as far as possible the texture and quality of the products on exhibition. Exhibitors whose products form a portion of their State or Provincial displays will not bo ' charged for exhibit space, but individ ual exhibitors will bo charged $1.50 per square foot for space occupied. The exhibit of Dairy Appliances will embody all the recent Inventions and improvements made in this Industry, including sterilizers, pasteurizers, sepa rators, coolers, churns, etc. Electric power will be furnished in the building should exhibitors desire to demonstrate the work of their ma chines for the benefit of the visitors. The exhibit in the Dairy Division will be a seductive one, and in point of attractiveness, Interest and utility will surpass anything ever before attempt ed. A Model Dairy, composed of repre sentatives of all the breeds, will be in operation during the entire Exposition for the purpose of determining as far ns possible the cost of production and the adaptability of certain breeds to special lines of dairy work. F. A. Converse, Superintendent of the Live Stock and Dairy Divisions. ____________ HHHUBBSliBlvBi i 1 OF A CENTURY I p 1 wenty-two years selling to the users of farm machinery of ■§ Holt county is a good guarantee mat what we put out is B giving the best service.
