All of The Frontier’s exchanges are

the castigations of a recent state legis

Nobody has seen Mayor Harrington
since election. Has he gone away to
weep and bury the “resolutions and
motions” he was going to present to
the “big duffer?”
Japan has little the best of it in
fleets. She has much the best of it
in lighting qualifications. Put the
two together and the Russian outlook
for the impending naval conflict isn’t
the brightest.
Police officers in a California city
put a woman witness in the “sweat
box” and she became a mental and
physical wreck from the severity of
the “sweating.” Now, who will
“sweat” the police?
Judge Dunne, the newly elected
mayor of Chicago, is going to proceed
to give the country an object lesson
on municipal ownership. The newly
elected mayor of O’Neill is going to
give us an object lesson in municipal
reform.
The farmers on the rural route
which starts from O’Neill Saturday

A Rev. Mr. Stone in an Illinois town
was peppered with odorous eggs be
cause he was ripping up some of the
bad nests of the town. It requires
some ner/e to tackle a'den of polecats,
but a man can always take a bath
and change clothing when he gets
through.
The people want railroad legisla
tion and are going to have it. The
recent legislature had a chance tc
enact laws fair and reasonable to both
railroads and people and failed. Now
there is danger of having a legislature
that will do something radical, some
thing worse than nothing. But the
people want railroad legislation.
, Lincoln Star: The Clarkson Herald
must be deficient in the sense ol
humor. The Herald takes the Hon,
M. F. Harrington seriously, saying
that he “has a bad case of anti-rail
road fever.” Bless you, it is not real
fever at all but purely oratorical,
purely a case of political malingering,
Harrington in fact has perfect control
of his pulse and temperature. He can
at a moment’s warning, whenever it
seems profitable, produce in his own
proper person all the symptoms of pro
found love of the dear people and ol
the most rabid railroad phobia. He
-can throw fits to beat the band. Har
rington is cunning, and it must not be
•
I supposed that he would not get or
famously with the railroads or an.i
" other old sort of octopus if he coulc
get into position where he would have
to be seen. There is absolutely noth
, ing serious or genuine in his “anti
railroad fever.” That’s his stock ir
trade.
“ The government of France takes i
' different view of what should be done
with the aged than that advanced bi
ajlearned American doctor. Superan
! uated working men of France are tc
be pensioned. To the Frenchmer
this will probably solve the universa
' question, IIow am 1 to live when 1
grow old'/ That is, if the government
: will be able to maintain so extensive
a benevolence. The best way to pro
vide for old lage is to lay up some ol
your earnings while young.
The Omaha Bee says “practically
all of the depositors of the failed
Elkhorn Valley bank” at O’Neill
“filed petitions in the district court
for damages against Fred Whitte
more.” As but one depositor out of
over one hundred and eighty tiled a
petition somebody must have had a
tip that this was the program of the
attorneys, but a hitch was caused by
the balking depositors. A man can
not make good a felon’s escape and
then expect to turn the wrath of
those who were looted onto some
other fellow. The Bee’s reputation
for accuracy will create a false im
pression many places if its figures are
not revised.
Will Produce Silk
If plans which he has laid out are
followed, Secretary Wilson of the de
partment of agriculture believes that
before many years the United States
will produce practically all of the silk
used in this country, for which it an
nually pays out millions of dollars to
France and Italy and other southern
European countries. The secretary’s
plans along this line are not merely in
a tentative state. The machinery of
his department was put in motion
some time ago, and the results are al
ready apparent.
It is safe to say that very few peo
ple in the United States, and a com
paratively small number even in the
national capital, knows that in one of
the buildings near the main structure
of the department of agriculture an
improved silk reeling machine is in
operation: that five American girls,
as expert silk reelers as can be found
in France, are at work every day; that
hundreds of skeins of glossy silk, ready
for the loom, have already been turned
out by their hands, and that experts
have pronounced the products as fine
any that is now imported from
France.
The mere fact that cocoon silk can
be reeled in this country as expertly
as in the great silk worm district of
France is not only encouraging feature
of the department’s attempt to create
a new industry in the United States*
The silk worm, as is well known, feeds
from the leaves of the mulberry tree.
The experts of the department have
learned to their absolute satisfaction
that mulberry trees will live and
thrive in almost any part of the
United States.
Secretary Wilson is sending out let
ters daily to growers and planters all
over the United States calling atten
tion to the work of the department
up to date in its efforts to create a
new American industry, and pointing
out the advantages and benefits,
financial and otherwise, to be derived
. from silk worm culture. These let
. ters so far have been distributed prin
cipally throughout the Southern
' states, and in a few days the the first
shipments of silk worm eggs will be
* made to those in that section of the
country who own groups or groves of
mulberry trees, and who express a
' desire to attempt silk production,
i There was no use in producing cocoons
> when there was no market for them,
, and there could be no market until an
organized effort was made to introduce
worm culture and instruct in silk
1 reeling at the same time. Now the
■ agricultural department has under
5 taken this work, it is believed, with
splendid prospects of success. The
American girls who are reeling silk at
I the agricultural department were
instructed by two experts, who were
brought from France by the depart
• ment for the purpose.

Senator pettus of Alabama is 81

to take medicine since going to Wash*

i the benefit of senators. “Don’t you

doctor,” Senator Pettus said. “I go

He gives me perscriptions and I never
have ’em filled, consequently I always
feel good.”

Best Cougli Medicine for Children
When you buy a cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence.
You want one that not only relieves
but cures. You want one that is un
questionable harmless. You want
one that is pleasant to take Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy meets all of these
conditions. There is nothing so good
for the coughs and colds incident to
childhood. It is also a certain preven
tive and cure for croup, and there is
no danger whatever from whooping
cough when it is given. It has been
used in many epidemics of that disease
with perfect success. For sale by P. C.

A report from Norfolk says now
that the plant of the American Beet
Sugar company, which ran for thir
teen years in Norfolk, has been dis
mantled and shipped bodily to Colora
do, the farmers around Norfolk and
throughout northern Nebraska have
determined to raise beets on a larger
scale than ever, and contracts have
already been signed in this immediate
vicinity for almost three times the
acreage that was produced a year ago.
The beets grown in northern Nebraska
during the coming summer will all be
shipped to the Leavitt factory at
Ames, Neb., the capacity of which
has been doubled in order to handle
the crop that comes from the territory
that formerly belonged to the Norfolk
plant.
