Sir Alfred Rooth. chairman of the

ship company, ended a brief visit to
this country with a statement praising
America for what he termed two great
events, the return of the railways to
private operation and the supreme court
decision that U. S. Steel corporation Is
legally organized. “In America and In
every country in Europe," he said, "a
struggle is going on between two con
flicting theories: Are we to adhere to
the wage capital system or are we to
adopt communism as the basis of recon
struct ion? If we believe that in the
world as we know it the only alter
native to the wage capital system is a
road which leads to starvation and
slavery, we can be thankful America
has given the answer in such unmis
takable terms."

Fail to Agree on Which One
Is to Make Race For the
Republican Nomi
nation.
Lincoln, Neb., March 22.—Strenu
ous efforts are being made by re
publican candidates opposed to Mc
Kelvie for governor to get together
on some one of them. As it is now
there are five who want to wrest the
nomination from McKelvie, not
counting Howell. Because of the
failure of former efforts to thin out
the field, a number of republicans
have turned to Howell as the man
upon whom to unite.
This caused the appearance in Lin
coln Friday of McLaughlin, McMul
len, Pollard and Hall, and they spent
several hours In several conferences,
which were chaperoned by Frank A.
Shotwell, a member of the executive
committee of the state committee.
Shotwell is hot upon the trail of Mc
Kelvie, and McKelvie says It is be
cause he appointed another Omaha
lawyer supreme judge when Shotwell
wanted ft.
McMullen, McLaughlin and Pollard
have agreed to a plan which includes
the naming by each candidate of
three friends. These are to gather in
secret conclave and choose one of the
four, the other being Hall, to make
the race. Hall objects to this, and
proposes that If the party Interest is
the chief concern—It being urged that
McKelvie cannot be elected if nomi
nated—the thing to do is for all to
withdraw and leave the matter of
drafting a prominent republican to
contest with McKelvie. On this rocfc
they remain split. George D. Mathew
son, of Fillmore county, is the fifth
entrant. He filled Friday.

ADDITIONAL THOUSANDS
PAY INCOME TAX
Dubuque, la., March 20.—That a
drive will be made to apprehend
those who have failed to turn in in
come tax returns where their earn
ings exceed that for which exemp
tion is allowed was the statement of
Louis Murphy, collector of internal
revenue, Tuesday.
When the drive is to be made or
what would be done he was unable
to state at present. In discussing
the penalties for the avoidance of the
return he stated that delinquents
may be made to pay the tax and a
penalty of 25 per cent of the tax. In
addition a fine of not more than $1,000
may be levied against violators.
I estimate that thero are 20,000
more returns this year than last,"
said Mr. Murphy. "Last year 130,000
persons made out returns. That
means that 150,000 people have filed
returns. There are 45,000 people fil
ing returns who need not pay a tax.”

peals From Lower Court—
Says It Was Morphine
That Affected Him.
Lincoln, Neb., March 2ft.—J. H.
Krcmmcr, a druggist of Niobrara,
has appealed to the supreme court
from a conviction and line of $100,
assessed in Knox county on the charge
of having Jamaica ginger in his pos
session for the purpose of using the
same as a beverage. His attorneys
insist that there is no such crime on
the statute books, but the lower court
upheld the prosecution which was
under the state prohibitory law.
Krcmmcr says that on the day in
question he had fallen and frac
tured a rib. He ha^l taken two tea
spocnfulis of ginger to relieve the
pain, and when that did not do it he
took some morphine. He said that
the condition in which witnesses said
they found him was due to the mor
phine. The doctor who was called
said that Krcmmcr was intoxicated
and that to produce the condition in
which he was he must have taken
four to six ounces. Another bottle of
ginger was found in Kremmer's
pocket. He said he was taking this
home for a family medicine.

Retiring Fire Marshal Likens
Nebraska’s Chief Executive
to a Czar—Has Mind
of His Own.
Lincoln, Neb., March 19.—Telling
Governor McKelvie that he need not
wait Jill next Monday to get his res
ignation but that he could have it
right away, S'ate Fire Marshal Beach
put on his coat and walked out of his
job Wednesday. To the reporters he
said:
"Abraham Lincoln freed t,000,000
slaves, but the supreme court decision
has knocked the shackles off a bunch
of code law appointees in this state
house. The governor questioned my
honor, and no man, even the governor
of Nebraska, is big enough to do that
without my resenting it.”
In his letter of resignation Mr.
Beach said he hoped the governor
would stay in the state long enough
to fill the vacancy, and intimates
that the governor Is not telling the
truth when he says that he has been
interfering with other branches of the
service and that he was sore because
he did not get a $3,000 salary when
lewards for code Saw officials were
being made up. He defies the gov
ernor to prove this.
"My returning this money to the
state in excess of the salary I would
have received under the old law, the
court now says was In force, was
purely a personal matter and none of
your business.” He adds that the
governor has no reason for calling
him down now for running for dele
gate at large when he has known
that for some weeks.
"When I accepted the appointment
at your hands I did not sell my soul
to you. I did not waive any of my
rights as an American citizen. I
wish to assure you I shall enjoy a
rest from the dictation of petty offi
cials in your czar-Uke administra
tion."

INTO MISSOURI RIVER

Ancient Water Ditches.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Moderns are (n the habit of assuming
that their accomplishments transcend
in importance those of the ancients,
but their are fields-of activity in which,
with all the appliances furnished by the
ingenious mechanics of our times, we
have not succeeded in remotely ap
proaching the achievements of peoples
Who flourished millenniums ago and
who, from all accounts, worked with
tools of the most primitive character.
We have made our boasts about cutting
through the Isthmus of Panama and
prided ourselves on the construction of
the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, but the
British engineers operating in the region
between the Tigers and Euphrates riv
ers, in Central Asia, htfve made discov
eries which indicate that the irrigation
system constructed to utilize the waters
of those great streams was a more dar
ing conception, and accomplished more
for the good of man, than any project
convolved or carried out by modern men.
At a recent meeting of the British Royal
Geographical society one of these engi
neers read a paper describing the ob
servations made by the aviators of the
corps to which he was attached in which
he expressed the belief that by the aid
of this Irrigation system a population of
perhaps 90,000,000 people was subsisted.
His descriptions were accompanied by
photographs obtained while hovering

Mexican Labor for Texas.
From the Houston Post.
Secretary of Labor Wilson is to be
congratulated for his ruling extending
the modification of tbe immigration re
strictions, by which Mexican farm la
borers will be permitted to come into
the southwestern states to assist with
making the crops this year. The sec
retary shows a much clearer under
standing of the situation than did mem
bers of the congressional committee who
refused to concur In a recommendation
for amending the immigration laws to
permit such suspension of certain pro
visions in the law, when necessary. By
the action of the secretary, prospects
ofr making a crop in South Texas this
year are greatly enhanced, and the
whole country will be benefited by the
increased production of necessities that
is assured by reason of the availability
of a larger labor supply.
If anybody understands Mexicans and
the Mexican situation, it ought to be
hte people living in the southern part of
Texas, who have employed Mexican la
bor for years and who have been living
among Mexican%ali their lives. And if
these people, including the business men
and leaders of commerce who under

laborer to Texas agriculture because he
is willing to stay on the farm, in pref

a Business Administration.”
From the New York Times.
Governor Lowden. of Illinois, tells
some of the Brooklyn republicans what
all republicans and all democrats need to
be told often. “You can’t reduce the
high cost of living until you reduce cost
of government, and you can't reduce
taxes until you reduce the high cost
(j/ government.” There must be a fed
eral budget system. The thousands—
the hundreds of thousands, the New
York Chamber of Commerce says—of
unnecessary federal officeholders must
be sent back to private life and produc
tive labor. “The place to begin recon
struction Is at Washington.” Every
candidate for president, be he repub
lican or democrat, ought to dwell on
this imperatively necessary, this pri
mary, work of cutting off extravagance
at Washington.
Apparently the republicans in con
gress have forgotten all about republi
can promises of economy. They can't
be reminded of them too loudly or too
frequently. It is so easy to make large
promises when you are out of power, so
easy to forget them when you are in
power.
Too Much Shoe Profit.
From the Los Angeles Times.
An Inquiry In Massachusetts appears
to establish the fact that the high price

speculation in leather immediately fol
lowing the war. which resulted In the
more than doubling of the cost of the
material in less than six months. The
packers, the tanners and ttlie jobbers
were all In it and each gained hand
some profits in passing the hides and
leather on to the next. There are too
many profits in a pair of shoes before
they reach the consumer's feet. If there
Is a dollar's worth of hide in a pair of
shoes to start with the leather would
represent at least^*3.75 to the consumer
by the time the different Interests hud
