cost.

The pay of the legislators will soon
stop. Ami when that time comes you
will see them pack their little grips
and start for home. Some, of course,
claim they don't care for the pay, but
the honor there is in it. Hut if there
was no pay in being a legislator, hut
very few would want the honor. See!
:or
General Gomez was the first presi
dent of Cuba, and when they chose an
other he rebelled and started" a revo
lution by organizing an army to light
the present government. Hii army
was scattered, Gomez was captured,
his millions of prepeity confiscated,
and now he lingers in prison, and will
r.o doubt be hung or shot for treach
ery. That is the history of those fel
lows who try to rule or ruin.
:o:
What has become of the old-fashioned
novel, where they fell in love
in the beginning and at the end got
married, and after a few years of
congenial bliss they sit on the front
porch and watch two or three children
playing in the front yard. Now they
wind up their stories by simply infer
ing they get married, and about chil
dren that come to bless this home they
say nothing. It's the style nowadays
to have no children. But give us the
'd-fashioned novel.
FOR FEDERAL PAPER MILLS.
Regardless of the work done by the
government in the paper investigation
the conditions are still serious at
least serious for the small publishers
The government has fixed the price
at two dollars and fifty cents per hun
lied pounds, at the mill. That in it
self is a much higher price than ever
demanded even by the jobbers until a
year ago. Hut even that price would
be all right if the small publishers
could "get in on it." Hut they can not.
The jolliers say they can't get the
paper from the mills and the mill
insist that they haven't anything to
sell.
And there you have it.
The small publisher must continue
to pay exorbitant prices for paper or
else go out of business.
It is true that the fundamental
problem is to build up paper produc
tion in this country to keep abreast
of the constantly growing demand and
afford a sufficient supply at all time
to hold prices at reasonable levels.
If private enterprise will do this
then the problem is solved.
Hut if the paper trust continues to
do business at the same old stand in
the same old manner, then there is
but one thing to do and that is for
the government to engage in the man
ufacturing of paper.
The federal government has that
richt, and the newspaper publishers
should demand that it be used..
The government has the timber and
water power the two most important
things to be considered before any
! aper mill can be started and now
that the paper manufacturers continue
o "put the screws" to the publishers
i it t 1 i.l
congress sr.ouiu not oe long in taking
favorable action for the erection of
federal paper mills. Hastings Trib

SENATOR NORRIS.
Those who have no patience with
the .-lacker were, of course, led by
their humiliation to roundly abuse
Senator -.orris lor having voted
gainst authorizing the president to
ike the stops that may be needed to
protect American rights- at .a.
Deiibe'ation musl, however, iriti
ite the heat of his ciitiv-s. Perhap.-:
he is more to be pitied than blamed.
!!.-
rnav have
believed "lie was right
.May have believed it, mind you.
There is an explanation of anoth r
so;t. One hates to think thai a sen
ator's vote on a question of such an
mnortant character could be prompted
by any ambition to win vote.:, l-ttt
-non of high fame have been known to
cater to classes of ballot-wieldcrs.
Of course the public oficial who
would seek to win support by such a
eourse is unfit to be a United States
senator, especially f-om Nebraska.
Oetttr is it to believe thjt it was some
temper-mental fault that dictated the
vote of Senator N --ris o;i the que -lion
of vigorous American defen e. Hut if
that is to be conceded it advantages
him nothing in the public mind., foj
poor judgment and slack patriotism is
just, as fatal a defect in a senator as
is undue subservience in vote-getting.
Certain it is that Senator Norris
expressed r.o sentiment that is general
vhen he stood with the La Follette
lilibusUrci s. It is doubtful if he ex
pressed the sentiment even of a ma
jority of Nebraska Germans.
Senator Stone of Missouri has suf
fered more vigorous condemnation for
deserting the president and the ma
jority in congress on this critical
question. Few resent or deplore the
excoriation he received all over the
country. The popular belief is that
lie deserved it, and more. But Ne
braskans may btar in mind the fact
that there were others.
There are reasons why a good many
in Nebraska would haver liked to .c;ee
Senator Norri.-, make a better record.
n element of his own party is plan
ning to consign him to the dump heap,
a fact which would entitle him to
some consideration among others than
his partisans. Hut ho has forfeited
such consideration. Lincoln Star.
:o:
It would be a god-send to the tax
payers of Nebraska of the legislature
was only allowed to meet every four
years.
PREPARE FOR THE HARVEST.
Not only to give a generous acre
age this year to cereals, but to take
what steps they may in preparedness
to gainer their crops, arc duties that
the farmers of the spring wheat states
owe to themselves, to the country and
o the world. Th"1 best judgment of
ndlitary experts on both sides of the
ocean, is that the European war wiU
not end until late this year. How
much longer it may go o:i there, is
no foretelling. Both groups of belli
gerents have made preparations with
inofey, materials and nu-:: to do des
peiate lighting for at least the next
six months.
Before the next winter or spring
wheat cron in this countrv is rcadv
for the reaper and thresher it is prob
able that virtually all reserves will
l.ae been used up. The situation
then will he unusual. It might be d.1-
eribed a-t extraordinary. It is early
to '"get a line" on what the American
w inter wheat harvest may be, but even
if it should be a record-breaker in both
a: vc -table area and yield, it seems
entirely safe to forecast that every
bushel of spring wheat in our north
western state.; and in the western
Canadian provln-.-os. no matter hr.v
go the production, will be absoi be 1
at profitable prices.
The utmost advance prcpari. dacss in
t!:.-1 matter of field labor, thereto! e. i-
et vitai importance. The iv-rccntaire

RUSSLW HIJ-TM'TLTIES.
In counting up ike
en account of the iia. -ian evol.itlon,
F e relea.-o of the intellectual-; in pr.'s
e is, ia Siberia and in exile mu.-t be
taken into cor, -idci d ion. There are
s iiio thousands of th'T.i and they car
ry about a Iarg ' share of the bra:n -of
Russia. There are also some theu-.-
nds of political prisoners in Siberia,
many of them belonging to an.-irchisi
rr.d nihiii-t groups. While the re
lease of the iidelle-tuals will be a
b.niciit to the country, that lannot be
said of the nihili-ts. The best thing
that the new go eminent can do Is to
make it a condition that the rclea c
o' such men shall depend upon their
enlistment in the aimy, where they
will for some time be under strict mili
tary discipline.
Part of the Jewish population, which
the dispatches say have been released
from restrictions, are men of great
wealth and ability, but there is an
other part of a very different charac
t: r which the better clement may not
he aide to control. They have been
persecuted .m long, denied every privi
b ge to advance and kept in such dis
tressing poverty, that their sudden
restoration to human rights may lead
them to excess. There will bo work
in Russia for the educated and pro-g-essivc
Jews of other countries. The
American Jew can hop;- shortly to
visit his relatives in his native land
under an American passport.
The responsibility of establishing a
new government in Russia is so great
that those who have undertaken it will
have the sympathy of the world. It is
a difficult matter to conduct a demo
cratic government where there is gen
eial education among the people and
a press rear! by all. It is many timcs
more difficult where nearly nine-tenths
of the people can not read. World
Herald. : o :
Evdently the legislature has aban
doned the Idea of extending the terms
cf county ofncials and inn easing their
salaries. That suits most people.

Cirelevillc, Ohio. "All I have said
about Cardui, the woman's tonic, is
the whole truth," says Mr?. Fannio
Ea Is, of R. F. D. No. G, this town.
"I suffered with womanly weakness,
and pains in my back and limbs for
two long years. I wa3 so bad off, I
could hardly walk at ail.
My husband ndvised mo ' to try
Cardui, the woman's tome, and I con
cluded to follow his advice. After tak
ing Cardui according to directions, I
now feel like a new woman, and can
do all of my work.
Refore takirg Cardui, I wes a walk
ing skeleton; now I weigh 150 pounds.
J recommend Cardui to every; suf
fering woman, for I know what it did
for me. My dresser is never without a j
bottle of Cardui on it.
There 13 no reason why Cardai j
won't help you, just as it has Mrs. j
Eads, as well as hundreds of thou- J
sands cf other women in the past 50
years. So if you sulTer from any of
the many ailments fo common to
women, or need a good strengthening
