Wonder Jf the Wall street brokers
recently arrested for selling fraudulent
stocks had any shares in the Clipper?
The New York legislature has final
ly succeeded In electing a United
States senator, Judge James A.
O’Gorman, a Tammany democrat.
Congress convened in extra session
Tuesday and now our democratic
friends have a chance to fulfill a long
Cherished desire to monkey with the
tariff.
Tbe average man will fail to iee the
need of a law prohibiting merchants
from giving away premiums. Most
of us think we’ve been paying for
what we have been getting right
along. _
As usual people got scared too soon.
Some were predicting in midwinter a
dry season this year The clouds and
rain April brings in put a pretty sure
promise on a reasonable harvest for
another year.
Democrats talking courageously of a
presidential victory next year. That
Is a democratic characteristic that Is
manifest once every four years. Dem
ocratic chances of successs will not be
so glittering after congress adjourns.
Tbe retail merchants the country
over have been fighting the catalogue
houses for a long time, but the in
croachmeats of the catalogue business
are beoomlng more marked each year.
Buying direct from the factories and
the right sort of publicity Is what
makes the catalogue business success
ful They might supply the missing
links in the retail business.
^Cearney Hub: RepresenrattveCron
i In; of Hqlt, did a good job in getting
through both houses his bill providing
that the state pay one-half the cost ol
building bridges over streams more
than one hundred and seventy-five
feet in length. This act will in a few
years solve a great many bridge prob
lems in the JFlatte valley where the
river is of unusual width, the bridge
at Kearney for instance spanning one
mile from shore to shore.
Its a peculiar sort of newspaper
ethics adopted by tbe Chicago editor
whocarged in his paper that there
was a slush fund of 1100,000 to bring
about the election of Senator Lorlmer
and then refuse to give the evidence
that might send somebody to jal! and
oust Lorlmer his seat In tbe senate.
One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of clean government these days
is tbe apparent determination of those
otherwise regarded honest to seal
their lips when the vital facts are
I needed to convict tbe boodlers.
Fremont Tribune: At last South
Omaha stools yards are put with tbe
railroads in the hands of the state
commission. The Ollls bill, Just en
acted by the legislature, gives the
people some dlreot oontrol of this big
corporation, so that Its rates and its
practioes may come under the juris
diction of tiie authorities controlling
corporations dealing with tbe public
service. For a long time the stock
y*rds company has successfully resist
ed legislation for oontrol, and but for
the decisive action of Governor Ald
J|cb, it would have passed through
the present session unseatbed.
Having lived ajpply a life full of ex
perience! calculated to develop all
aides of bumgn nature, the president
\ of a big eastern railroad now retires
to s farm and philosophizes on rural
blessings, "Back to the soil,” he says,
“IS not a movement, it is an lnstinot
—the ln*tl»ct of every normal man.
The simple life it not a slogan, but an
inbred sentiment- Tbe rounding out
of tbe cycle of ambitions of tbe normal
mao leads back to mother earth,
whence we all spring.” But we
shouldn’t forget that it is "back to
the soil” that fetches the charm. To
stay there from the cradle to the
grave Is the prospect that drives the
youth from the farm to the city. He
wishes to "round out the cycle of his
ambitions," too. Can he do it raising
corn? Agriculture as. a final stage of
man’s activities might be universally
welcome; but not until he has found
the width of his pinions and their up
bearing capacity. Back to the soil,
truly enough, if one can’t discern
what he is in search of in the more
complex world of men; but no philos
ophy will make young men contented
in not trying.
Our esteemed but envious contem
porary says of the passage of the bill
providing state aid for bridges that tc
Senator Lee "is due the credit for its
passage more than to anyone else.”
It would not be expected of a politi
cal bigot and narrow contrac'ed in
dividual like the Independent editor
to give credit to a fellow townsman
and neighbor for doing anything if he
happened to be a republican. Senator
Lee is entitled to credit for what
he did toward its passage in the sen
ate, but the republican member from
this county, who is the author of the
bill, might have at least been given
credit by this oracle of democracy
over at the Independent for having in
troduced the bill and secured Its pas
sage in the house first. The fact is,
it was Mr. Cronin’s bill and was passed
by the house first and then by the sen
ate and signed by the governor.
The public was quick to take sides
against Mr. Ballinger and a general
satisfaction was felt when that gentle
man retired lrom the president’s
cabinet to his home In the far north
west. Since the retirement, however,
there is some indication that the for
mer secretary his many friends among
the able writers of the country, oi
rather friends of the policies ror which
he stood so long against bitter assault
When you come to think of It, the
things for which Ballinger stood re
specting the development of nature
resources have been the policy of oui
government since the revolution
Capital has always been invited to gc
Into the regions rich in mineral anc
forests and aid labor to develop them
In the matter of the -Alaskan coa
fields, for which the former secretary
wasso bitterly assailed, the folly o
hauling coal clear across the contlnem
from the Atlantic sea board whet
there is any quantity of it right ai
hand for the Pacific coast stoves ant
•furnaces is now pointed out. The re
sources of Alaska have scarcely beet
touched yet and there will not b<
further extensive development then
until capital is allowed a reasonably
free hand to bring the products oul
for use. __
Roosevelt On the Lorimer Case.
Col. Roosevelt says that the senator!
voted out of congress were responsible
for some of the strange things lr
Washington last winter. He said lr
a recent speeoh:
"1 will call your attention to two 01
three features connected with th<
Lorimer vote in the United State:
senate, because the senators who ar<
no longer senators, when they had bul
forty-eight hours more to serve, sale
he oould continue after they left. A
majority of the present ooileagues ol
Mr. Lorimer voted against him. He
was kept in his seat by the senator:
whom the people bad deoided they nc
longer wished to see in the senate ol
the United States.
"And again, the statement wa:
made in debating the proposed amend
ment to provide for the election ol
United States senators by popular vot<
that we would destroy the cliaractei
of the United States senate If w:
altered the present method of electing
senators.
"Good. Now I will call your atten
tion to this fact in the vote: Five
sixth of the senators who voted against
the popular electlou of United State:
senators voted for Mr. Lorimer, whi
had been chosen under the very worsl
system that can obtain under the ole
rules in a state legislature."
Bad Roads Costly.
Omaha News: Just a few figures
Wagon roads in the United States
2,151,570 miles.
Improved (faced with gravel o:
something better)—175,429 miles.
Per cent of Improved roads—8.2.
Each year 255,000,000 tons of farm
and forest products are hauled to mar
ket or to railway stations over Amer
ican roads.
This hauling costs <432,000,000, or
mtrnmt,■•Mg* iywrTCignarirrir ~~r. i-Tacaa
23 cents per ton per mile.
It costs about 10 cents per ton per
mile to haul freight over an improved
road.
Thus, if all our roads were improv
ed it would mean a saving of $200,000,
ooo a year in hauling alone.
It will cost fully $3,000,000,000 to put
all the mud roads in America In fair
shape—to make them merely good
gravel roads.
Three billion dollars is a big sum—
yet *200,000,000 per year for fifteen
years would settle the bill.
This country of ours Is the richest
in the world—yet the poorest, most
tax burdened country in Europe can
boast better roads than can we.
Odd, Isn’t it?
