The answer appears to be that sew

precious tariff on sewing machines.

Senator Dolllver, Republican, from
Iowa says the new tariff schedules on
cotton "operate to Increase duties
-very materially on most cotton cloths
used for women's and children's Bum
mer wear, and on all mercerized cot
tons, figured curtain and upholstery
.goods, etc. In fact, the Aldrlch re
vision of this schedule was one of the
most daringly lnlquious features of
the new tariff. The production of
agricultural Implements Is largely lu
the hand of a trust, and the trifling
reduction of S per cent on these pre
ducts were merely for the purpose of
attempting to fool the farming com
munity.

The Indianapolis News very truth- downward. The answer of this so
fully and forcefully says:
"The speech is a thoroughly
tory utterance. It would have
delighted such men as Beacons
field and Salisbury. The Rus
sian czar, who now is engaged
in the work of crushing Finnish
liberty, will approve It. Every
man who believes that It is the
duty of weak people to submit
to the rule of the strong will
welcome the words of Mr. Roose
velt. But Gladstone, Bright and
Cobden, and all the other friends
of liberty as we in this country
used to think of it, would have
been rather shocked by the
speech of yesterday. The man
who, after South Africa had
been conquered, wisely turned
the government of the country
over to the conquered people,
will not approve the speech.
But the tory squires who believe

county in the machine in a wild chase
for subscribers and advertisers and
was on his way back to this city

just what caused the commotion with
the internal parts of the machine,
neither did he know how to piece

the splifflicator was over sprung,
then he looked at the wheelicanator
and found it to be in perfect working

other things and could make neither
head nor tail of them. The crux
of the situation found a brave man
to meet it at that time, however, and
he marched to the house of a man
who had a telephone and called up
Messrs. Patterson ft Thomas. He
asked them to send out an automobile
and get the thing using the usual
adjectives to describe It. They did
so and drew it and Mr. Quinn to the
city. Hence it has been drawn. It
was discovered after the machine
was at the garage that it was so
seriously damaged that parts wilt

It will be temporary repaired so that
Mr. Qulnn can once more speed the

Crop Outlook Toor.
Estimates by grain men through-.
out the state indicate that the wheat
crop this year will not be more than
60 per cent as large as last year. It
is estimated that the total yield for
1910 will not exceed 30,000,000,
while last year it was about 50,000,
000 bushels. '
The reason for the expected short
age is attributed to the lack of rain
at the time it was needed and to the
fact that many of the plants have
been winter killed. Another reason
given is that the warm weather of
March had a bad eneet. Farmers
who have been interviewed by repre
sentatives of local elevator companies
say that the -wheat did not "stool",
or thicken properly because of the
weather conditions. This means that
the straws will be short and not as
heavy as usual.
C. S. Ralnbolt, a buyer for the
Cavers' Elevator company of this
city, has just returned from a trip
through the state, and in speaking of
conditions said: "I do not believe
the wheat crop in Nebraska for 1914)
will be over 60 per cent of last year's
yield. I looked at a large number
of fields in various sections on my
recent trip and In most every case the
wheat has been winter killed. This
was due, of course, to the weather
conditions that prevailed at the time
the wheat needed the assistance of
the growing elements."
Mr. Ralnbolt also visited Kansas
and Missouri and says that condi
tions there resemble those to be
found in Nebraska. Omaha Bee.
