Thkkk is considerable complaint in
Kansas at the unjust discrimination of
the Standard Oil company. The com
pany sells oil at one price in one loc ality
and at another price in another locality,
the discrimination being made for the
purjose of discouraging the devolop
ment of the oil business in Kansas.
There is a law against this class of
discrimination, but the Standard Oil
company is no respecter of the lav.

sweetheart's head on his shoulder if he
didn't come around with a dollar on sub

dollar. The editor has letters from

Monopolists fail to monopolize, and
the combinations have to comdine in
order to meet competition that has
sprung up during the process of combin
ing. One of the first large trusts in
the country was the biscuit trust
This is a powerful combination, but it
is so for from embracing all the crack
er bakers that the representatives of
nineteen independent concerns have
just had a meeting in New York with
a view to forming a second trust to
.suppress the competition among them
.selves and be in a better position to
meet the competition of the first trust.

Senator Burkett has returned from
a three weeks trip to the Pacific coast,
where he filled a number of lecture
dates. He spoke at Portland, Oregon
City and half a dozen other places along
the coast. While away he met many
former Nebraskans, and at Portland
350 of them went in a body to Gladstone
park, where he spoke.
Senator Burkett said that people on
the Pacific coast are more concerned
about the Japanese question than al
most anything else. They want an im
migration law that will exclude the
Japanese. There is much feeling there
over this matter. The people believe
war must follow and they are demand
ing that every coast town be fortified,
and would be much pleased if the gov
ernment would spend one million dol
lars at every town. The Jap is a com
petitor in labor, in business and indus
try, and his aptitude in adopting Amer
ican methods of doing business, his
business aggressiveness and success in
competing in almost every industry,
has made him disliked.
War scares, says the senator, are fre
quent on the Pacific coast. A few days
ago the people out there had it that a
large party of Japanese were concen
trating in Mexico for the purpose of in
vading the United States. Almost
every day tnere is a new war story and
the people are kept at fever heat.
Nothing, says Senator Burkett, will
please the people out there more than
additional fortification work and a Jap
anese exclusion act.
New York's Crime Wave.
Police Commissioner Bingham, of
New York, has advised the citizens of
certain districts of that city to form
vigilance committees, declaring that
assaults upon women and girls have be
come so frequent that it is impossible
for the jxlice force to cope with the
situation. A wave of this most dastar
dly of all crimes has overspread Goth
am, and in certain sections it is unsafe
for an unprotected woman to appear
upon the street.-? even in the day time.
This in New York, of which all East
erners are so prone to bo:j.st! New
York, the city that assumes to point
out to the benighted and savage West
the business way, the economic truth and
the moral light; in New York, the cent
er of the so-called best society in the
nation, the granary of culture and re
finement! Well, it must have occurred
in some place as far east as New York,
for nowhere west of the Allegheny
mountains would such a condition of af
fairs be jossibIe.
New York is only a few hours' ride
from Washington, and in many respects
the two cities are alike. It was in
Washington recently that a souse-headed
government official advised a young
woman, who wanted to help take the
census in Oklahoma, to withdraw her
application for that employment.
Oklahoma, he told her, was too wild
and unsettled and at the present crude
stage of its develophment no place for
a woman.
If the same employment had offered
itself in New York, this official would
have no hesitancy in sending her there.
Yet in New York, according to Colonel
Bingham, she would not be safe from
insult and attack at noontide unless she
had a bodyguard with her, while in Ok
lahoma she could walk alone at mid- j
night from one end of any town to the
othe, feeling safe in the perfect know
ledge that every man in sight would be
her quick and efficient defender in case
of need. A woman in either danger or
distress would better cry out for assis
tance at the door of a saloon in Okla
homa than at the portal of a depart
ment store in New York. The Okla
homans who would answer her call
might bear such commonplace names
as Jones and Brown and Smith, but
each name, however plebeian, would
have a man behind it, ready and will
ing to rise to the occasion, whatever
the emergency might be.
Poor old New York! God pity a com
munity that cannot protect its girls and
women.
Depressed Prosperity.
When such a conservative business
organ as the New York Journal of Com
merce is constantly warning its readers
that the conditions of the money market
is critical and that the associated banks
of New York have about all their mon
ey tied up. it behooves other people to
sit up and take notice, Call money is
offered in New York from 2 to 3 per
cent, but, "accommodations to mercan
tile houses can scarcely be had for less
than 6 per cent and the railroads would
be glad to secure funds at that figure."
This would indicate that the banks are
cautions now, for there is fear of the
future, hence the high interest demand
on commercial and time loans, yet the
Journal of Commerce says: "Money is
scarce in New York." How is it else
where? In all the great interior money
centers, like Chicago and St. Louis,
the banks have increased their loans in
proportion to their deposits and surplus
funds are scarce there also. In fact,
the banks of the western and middle
states are loaned up to the limit so that
even in the event of higher interest
being offered later in the year in New
York there would be but little chance
of western money flowing there. When
the crops begin to move, which will
soon happen in the cotton and winter
wheat regions, the demand for money
by the cotton ' and wheat, buyers will
begin and must be provided for and yet
neither the Southern and Western
banks, nor the New York banks, would
seem to be in a condition to stand that
strain on their resources. If the crops
should prove to be light, the increased
price would demand about the same
amount of cash to take care of them as
if heavy crops prevailed and the price
was less.
There is also the probability that
some wholesale and country merchants
will require to borrow of the banks, or
seek extension of time on their accounts,
because of the unreasonable weather
hindering the ordinary purchases of sea
sonable good's, which would make a
further drain on the banks, just when
the crop moving season is in full force.
It would seem therefore to be wisdom
on the part of the ordinary people, farm
ers and others, to keep out of debt and
be cautious about purchases until good
crops are assured and until the money
markets are restored to their normal
stability, for it may be difficult to se
cure temporary accommodations to
meet pressing bills especially if the
crops do not meet expectations in quanti
ty and price.
Municipal Ownership.
A smooth gentleman from New York,
representing a literary bureau, main
tained for the purpose of creating sen
timent against municipal ownership,
recently visited Fremont and made
extensive inquiries about the local city
water and lighting plants.
The Commoner refers to the system
now employed by the opponents of mu
nicipal ownerspip, as follows:
An immense literary bureau has
been organized for the purpose, of
beating down the rapidly growing sen
timent in favor of municipal ownership
of public utilities, and it is plain that
this literary bureau does not hesitate
to misrepresent. I twill be remembered
that not long ago a statement purport
ing to come from Lincoln, Nebr., was
printed in various publications, and in
this statement it was claimed that
Lincoln hail failed in its attempt at
municipal ownership "i the water plant.
Mayor I'rovvn of Lincoln issued a state
ment which will doubtless be remem
bered by Commoner readers. He point
ed out the great advantages derived by
the public through Lincoln's ownership
of its water plant.
Newspaper editors should exercise
greater care in the publication of such
material. The literary bureaus of the
special interests would be impotent if
every newspaper in the land adhered
to the motto of the old Salem Register,
and if editors were as careful in scruti
nizing the "copy" furnished by the
literary bureaus of a lawless element
as they are in the examination of com
munications offered them by the "Pro
Bono Publico" of their immediate neigh
borhood. Fremont Herald.

Watch 'em.
The Indiana woman who married the
undertaker on the day of her husband's
funeral understood the grave . responsi
bilities of marriage. She also appre
ciated the last sad rights.
The time of year has again arrived to
discuss the origin of hay fever. The
popular impression that it is caused by
kissing grass widows is being question
ed in many quarters and each state has
a theory peculiar to itself. A Missouri
editor says it is caused by a grass wid
ow kissing a fellow by mopnbight. An
Iowa editor says it is caused by a fel
low kissing a hired girl while feeding
the cow. An Indiana scribe is of the
opinion that it is caused by missing the
girl and kissing the cow. While a
Kentucky newspaper says it is caused
by too much kissing in the "hey-day"
of youth. If those afflicted with the
malady would kindly give their individ
ual experience probably some definite
and reliable data might be obtained
valuable to the searcher for truth.
Must Respect the Constitution. .
Supreme authority resides in the
people, who have solemnly established
the mode and manner in which alone
their will is to be made known. They
have with the utmost care and deliber
ation decided to invest the Federal
Govenment with certain powers and
their respective State governments
with other powers. All powers not so
granted they have chosen to retain un
til they think best to grant more.
When the people wish the Constitution
changed they will surely change it them
selves, as they have always done, but
they will take the time and use the
deliberation they have themselves pro
vided to guard against hasty and incon
siderable action. Meanwhile the peo
ple need officials who will serve them
with zeal and with fidelity to the trusts
confided, which covers the limitation as
well as the duties of their trusts. They
need leaders to study and propose and
to advocate lawful measures for their
good. But they do not need guardians.
Our very prosperity has brought about,
or, perhaps, rather, magnified and dis
closed, many things which must be
eliminated or corrected. But I am not
convinced that it would be better to
have all our chopping and pruning done
with one big ax, even if license were
given in due form. At all events,
there must be no tresspassing, no mat
ter how beneficent the purpose, for it
is a maxium as old as the law that
while bad motives may make an unlaw
ful act worse, no amount of good mo
tives can ever make it right. Judson
Harmon, ex-United States Attorney
General, in Leslie's Weekly.

Wo Place Like Hom3.
I Occasionally a good man grows dis
I satisfied with Nebraska. The milk is
too yellow or the honey too sweet, and
he doesn't like them to flow over his
! land pnyway. So he parts with his
farm, sells his live stock and "other
things too numerous to mention," and
moves to Oklahoma. There he takes
his good Nebraska money and buys a
farm, which today is and tomorrow is
not, because the wind has blown it
away. Or he tries Colorado, and slush
es around in the mud irrigating a strip
of bottom so narrow that a cow can't
jump into the field because she jumps
over it. Then he hears of Texas, and
goes down to hunt the bag of gold at
the rainbow. In the daytime he
scratches sandburs out of his flesh and
at night centipedes crawl over his face.
When his money is all gone he begins
to feel like he did the first night he
ever stayed away from home. He
yearns for good old Nebraska and chokes
him until tears come in his eyes. He
would give a month's work to see the
cows standing at the bars on his old
Nebraska farm and hear the horn blow
for supper. Memory is a marvelous
painter and paints best the things we
love best. It pictures to the traveler
the corn silking in the field he once
owned, and the wheat yellowing for
the harvest, the clover stretching
away in a carpet of red and green,
richer than the rugs of the Persians. It
shows him the elms as they whispered
to his children at play beneath them,
points to the roses in the corner of tbe
old rail fence, and in infinite detail
paints a thousand things that touch the
heart and prove its whimsical power.
Happy is the man who wakes from
sleep to find that he has wandered from
Nebraska only in his dreams. North

Receiving New Machinery
D. B. Ebersole received a new blower
for his blacksmith shop today to replace
the one which' was destroyed in the
flood some time ago. The one he has
just purchased is up-to-date in every
respect, and the best the market affords.
Mr Ebersole expects to have his shop
in first class condition, and equipped
with the best and latest machinery,
when he has gotten it entirely rebuilt
and fitted out. He will then be better
equipped than ever to take care of the
business in the new place.
