The apeal of the hardy pioneers
who are fighting, the battle for their
homes on the various reclamation
projects .f the west has not gone
unheard, and the action eif the Senate
Committee on Inigatiem of hist wirk
n recommending for passage Senator
Burkett's bill to give them the right
to assign their patents afier five year s
residence as wider the e!d home-
tead law, will surely bring hope
and cheer to their courageous souls.
While the Committee did not se'e its
iiit
way clear to reporting lavoratny ail
the concessions urged by Senator
Burkett, such as the commutation
privilage, the absolute patent to their
and after five veers' residence, etc.,
nevertheless a step has been made
in the right direction and the way
opened for better things.
Last week was characterized by
three big spee'hee'S in the Senate,
Senator Bailey's reply to Senator
Burkett's speech on the constititiona
ity of the Postal Saving Bank, the
i . t i
unusual speeen oi senator james
Gordon of Mississippi on his retire-
me-nt to private life, and the illumi
nation address ef Senator Norris
Brown in be'lialf of his constitutional
amendment relating to the income
tax. Senator Brown was accorded
a very close hearing. His speech is
looked upon as one etf the very best
made on this most interesting topic,
his research, the munner eif his ele1-
livery, the time, and the occasion, all
contributing to the undoubted popu-
arity, power and standing of Nebraska
junior senator.
Not within the memoryof the oldest
newspaper corresponuent nas tnerc
HTii such a dramatic scene as was
witnessed on Thursday eif last week
when Senator Gordon of Mississippi,
w ho has been a senator but sixty days,
took leave of his colleague's in a speech
which is not only uniepic but unusual
in the annals ef Senate procedure.
Senator Gordon is a tall, spare man,
typical ef the South in speech and in
manter: a Confederate veteran who
.aw service on may battlefields, but
who has grown broad and charitable
toward all the world, and particularly
warm toward the people who once
invaded his beloved Sunny South
The galleries were crowded on this
particular day to hear Senator Bailey's
reply to the speech of Senator Burkett
on the constitutionality of the Postal
Saving Bank. They followed the
Texas Senator for an hour and a half
through the mazes of the Constitution.
At the conclusion of Bailey's argu
ment Senator Gorelcn realized that
the opportunity had come for him to
sing his "swan song," and took eva
sion of the magnificent assemblage
to preach a sermon to which the world
might well afford to fctop and listen.
'
Simple in phrase, honest in expres
sion, Senator Gordon's address radiat
ed seventy-two years of kindly fellow
ship and love for his fellow-men;
and Bailey's speech, brilliant as it
was (for there are few more eminent
const itutionnl lawyers in the Senate
than this same Bailey) was entirely
forgotten in the humanity, single
mine'e Iness and charity of Senator
James Gordon of Mississippi.
Senator Bailey contended that there
was no specific authority for the
legislation (referring to Postal Saving
Banks) in any of the enumerated
powers of Congress. He said it was
a proper function of the Pe)stoffice;
that it was not for the purpose of
borrowing money, nor did it aid
commerce. I hat it was not sustained
by any of the enumerated powers
of Congress. This was the parti
cular thing at which Senator Burkett
aimed his argument when he contended
that it did not need to be indispen
sable or comprehensive in carrying
out any , of the enumerated powers of
Congress. "
Burkett also contended that there
was no authority outside of
Congress to determine the degree
of its efficacy,. but that if in a remote
way it could be helpful in the execution
of any of these pwoers, it would be
sustained by the courts. It will be
recalled that Senator Burkett in sup
port of this position cited the Legal
Tender Cases, the Gettysburg National
Park case and others. Senator Bailey
strange as it may appear, made no
answer to these contentions of the
senior Senator from Nebraska, and
did not even discuss the phase of the
question raised by Senator Burkett,
that it rested with Congress to deter
mine whether or not a Postal Saving
would.be beneffieial in carrying out
any of the enumerated powers of
Congress. ,
Bailey's opposition to the Postal
Saving Bank is the time worn position
of the Democrats. Democracy has
always been against a protective
tariff. It has, until within a few
years, fought the improvement of
rivers and harbors. It strenuously
objected to the purchase of Alaska,
and resisted the acquisitiem of Florida
on the selfsanu'-grounds that now
conies up that there were no special
provisions in the Constitution pe-r-metting
these things to be done.
Their contentions are met by the
fact that all these things have been
accomplished, and in all probability
Denii.eracy will see ils present eb
jectiuiis met by the passage ef a Postal
Saving! bank bill, and the ultimate
establishment of this institution.
PROF. NOBLE
TALKS TO MEN
Laymen's Missionary Move
ment to Hold Big
Convention.
CONVENTION AT OMAHA
IN AUDITORIUM
Big Banquet Thursday March 17th
at Six P. M. Plates lor Fllteen
Hundred.
Last night at the M. E. church in
this city was the initial meeting,
looking to the selection of delegates
from all of the churches in this city
and vicinity, to a great meeting to
be held in the auditorium at Omaha
beginning March 17th, when a dinner
will be served to the 1500 delegates
expected to assemble there at that
time. The service was opened by
Mr. Meiorc of the Christian church
offering prayer for the movement.
The Euterpeon Glee club furnished
numbers, Don York sang as a solo
"I'm Here On Bussiness For My
King." with pleasing effect.
On the platform with the speaker,
was Thomas Wiles of the Christian
church, J. X. Wise of the Presbyterian
church and It. B. Windham of the
Methodist church. Mr. Windham
introduced the speaker in a few well
chosen words, Btating that the mis
sionary movement was one of the
important matters x with which the
church had to deal, and that the
matter was being taken up by the
business men of the United States,
in a way that demanded the attention
of the thinking peeplc of the world.
He introduced Prof. Noble as a man
well known in Plattsmouth and one
we all would like to have address us
that although a busy man, he found
time to look after the impoitant
concerns of the churches.
Mr Noble then enlightened the
audience, which filled the
auditorium of the M c t h o
dist church, as to the purpose of his
visit. He said in substance that at a
meeting of the Deputation ceimmittee
recently, tie chairman Henry F.
Keiser had called for vnlunteciB from
the committee to go into the diff
erent cities of the btatc and lay the
matter of the convention and its
purpose before the laymen of the
churclu's. Mr. Noble came to Platts
mouth because he chose to, it was
one of the citie-s mentioned, and as
no one else offered to come Prof.
Noble knowing us as he did,took up
the white man's burden, and came.
The speaker said he had been amused
at the request of a member of this
city calling for one of their "big guns'
when only a toy pistol has appeared,
he went on to explain the monvmcnt
and how it started in New York
something like a year ago. That the
business men toeik hold of the matter
and had planned seventy-five district
conventions to be held before June,
twentv two of these had already been
held. These? district conventions
were to elect delegates to the national
convention w hich is to meet in Chicago
in May, which convention is to
select delegates to meet in Glaseow
Scotland,, in Juno, that convention
is to be. composed .of .delegates. from
all of the Christian lands. The
ultimate purpose is to advertise the
missionary movement among the lay
men of the churches, and to get them
interested in the movement with the
end in view of evangelizing the world
of paganism within a genera
tion. The convention thus far held
have been enthusiastic and good has
already been rcalixed. The convention
at Omaha beginning March 17th
will accept 1500 delegates and no more.
At Kansas city recently when the
convention for that district was held
500 persons were turned away, who
who desired to become delegates
to the meeting.
Mr. Noble met with considerable
encouragement last evening as there
will be no trouble in having five er
six ef the layman from each of the
churches here attend the Omaha
convention and Join in the opening
xereises. Tho convention is to lust
a three days.

A UNIQUE TEST
OF
SEED CORN.
Test to Show to What Extent
Corn can Stand to he frozen.
Ucsides testing corn to see if it will
grow and warning farmers of the
poor condition of seed corn this yeur,
the Commercial Club eif Omaha has
made a test which shows the result
of freezing com which contains a
good deal of moisture. The result
shows that even some eif the corn
standing in the fields, supposed to be
the best weel corn Nebraska has
this year, may be worthless for seed.
Ten ears of e-orn were selected
which were shown by tests to be
strong. Kvery keinal tested had
good sprouts and a ttrong root system.
A government expert at the Omaha
Grain Exchange tetteel them to learn
the moisture. It was less than 10
per cent.
Then these ten good ears were
soaked for various lengths ef time
and after the waUr elried into the
coin, they were again tested to find
out how much moisture they containe d.
These soaked 5 hours had 22 per
cent; 6 hours 27 pe-r cent and 8 hours
30 per cent. All were put in a re
frigcrating plant, where the. air was
12 degrees below icro.
After 76 hours exposure, the corn
was again tested. Of one hundred
kcrnals from the ears which had
22 per 'cent moisture, only 28 ger
minated; while but 20 kcrnals in one
hundred from tlue ears whb 27 per
cent moisture showed signs of life,
and but 21 grains in one hundred
taken" from the ears cortaining 31
per cent moisture sprouted.
This test shows that orn con
taining more than 22 per cent moisture
cannot stand freezing for even a short
time without killing a large percentage
of the kcrnals and making the ears
worthless for seed.
