Indostrial Education a V,
No state can be said to have an Ideal
educational system which does not
provide for the education of the indus
trial classes. The industrial classes
must have opportunities to fit them
selves for the, greatest efficiency in
their chosen work, If the state does its
whole duty toward them. The last
few years have seen great progress In
industrial education. Strange to say
the opportunities for farmers' sons and
daughters to acquire an education fit
ting them successfully to solve the
problems of farm life, have not been
provided in quite a number of states.
True, there are agricultural colleges in
most of the states, but before a student
can be admitted to these colleges he
must have a high school education,
and quite frequently the student loses
all taste for farm life before he ?s
prepared to enter. Undoubtedly thero
should be in every state a school of
agriculture to receive as students the
eons and daughters of farmers ' who
have completed eight grades in the
public schools. Nebraska has estab
lished such a school In ' connection
with, her state university. In thi3
school are taught the following sub
jects: Algebra, breeds, botany, chem
istry, dairying, economics, English,
Entomology, field crops, geometry,
histology, horticulture, physiology,
shop work, stock judging and veter
inary practice. The school is now in
session, but students are still being re
ceivedand it is hoped that those who
read this paragraph may decide to

ORGANIZED LABOR
Bom of the Lines of Work Planned for
the Future Many Sided Activity
' The idea of many people is that the
organization of laobr is mainly for
the purpose of carrying on strikes an ci
a constant effort to secure more wages.
In a recent issue of the American Fed
erationist the future work of the or
ganizations is pointed out and many
things enumerated which are now in
progress.
Three important branches of work,
which have to do with labor legisla
tion and organization, have just been
initiated by the American federation
of labor.
The wage-workers of Porto Rico are
desirous of organization and affilia
tion with their American brethren.

The class in stock judging in the
university of Nebraska school 6f agri

five students who show the greatest
proficiency in this work by the closa
of the school year are to be Nebraska's
representatives in . the Intercollegiate

never been represented in this contest
and it Is hoped that with the amount
of practice that Is to be given this
year, a good showing will be made u
December, 1902. A fund is being
raised to. pay the expenses of the five
students selected. Are there not a
number of young men in Nebraska
sufficiently interested in live stock to
cause them to take advantage of this

The Reorganizer Builntii Didn't Work
Worth a Cent In the Great State
of Ohio
If one wants the truth about the ef
fect of the election in Ohio he will not
find even a reference to it in the dail
ies, but weekly papers in that state
have a few words to say that are well
worth attention. The Putnam Coun
ty Sentinel, published at Ottawa, O ,

The city press are out with state
ments claiming that the slump in the
northwest was caused by the silver
men remaining away from the polla.
All the silver men in this section did
not stay at home. If they had there
wouldn't have been enough democratic
votes polled to carry a precinct. A
great number of men who were
staunch supporters of the Kansas City
platform went to the polls and voted,
but they were not enthusiastic for
their party this year. Putnam county
was not the only one to slump. Allen
county fell 699, Auglaize 379, Darke
861, Henry 308, Mercer 1,043, Sandusky
980, Seneca 583. The county commit
tees were powerless to arouse the vot
ers from their lethargic condition.
They were not to blame for the slump.
Tom Johnson didn't back up to vic
tory in Cuyahoga county. He went
at it head first, with an axe, and kept
it in sight every minute. Mark Han
na's "let well enough alone" went in
other parts of tb3 state, but it didn't
go In Mark's own county.1
Under Johnson's vigorous and intel
ligent leadership the democrats of
Cuyahoga made a state campaign of
it in letter and spirit. The result was
a sweeping democratic victory In a
republican stronghold. Johnson con
vinced voters that they could do better,
so they were not satisfied to "let well
enough alone."
Governor Nash is out with a post
election statement that he will urge
tax reforms upon the next legislature.
It will be noticed that the governor's
decision was announced, after he had
heard the returns from Cuyahoga and
Franklin counties.

mortgages and other securities call
ing for the delivery of money at some
future date, not a word could they, get
printed. As far as the populists are
concerned, they have always contend
ed for staple prices, which , means a
fixed purchasing power of money.
In an article in the New York Sun,
written by Philip King, there appears
for the first time an' acknowledgement
of the truth of many of the positions
taken by the populists, and, .Bryan
democrats. In refering to "widows and
orphans," he of course does not men
tion the other class who are similarly
affected, the bondholders and those
who . live on interest and never pro
duce enough to feed a sparrow during
all their lives. But the principle In
volved is the same and is one of the
fundamental arguments of all bimetal
lists. The article was as follows:
"An economic state of affairs .n
which everybody is doing a large bus
iness naturally tends, after a certain
duration; to a condition in which the
profits of one's neighbors intrench
upon one's own, and finally everybody
discovers, often about the same tima,
that profits generally have disappeared.
Our great boom has not been a bless
ing to persons with fixed incomes, nor,
in its later development to the ma
jority of wage-earners. Its progress
has been marked, as all such move
ments must be marked, by a steady
fall in the value of. money, or, what is
saying the same thing, by a steady
rise in the value of things that money
buys. Widows and orphans and all
similar beneficiaries living upon the
income of trust funds have had a hard
time of it in the last few years, If
their sole support has been the return
of trust funds invested during the
period. It is a fact that is well in .he
mind of svery householder and head it
a family that such has been the ad
vance in the price' of all commodities
that living expenses are now very
much greater than formerly; indeed,
the official record shows that they are
higher at this hour than at any time
within a decade. The weight of till
this falls heaviest upon the man whose
income does not increase with the in
creased price which he must pay for
his necessities, and the net result is his
comparative poverty. . Nature, how
ever, is busy with her corective and
she applies a solace, at last, that is
both sweet and terrible. The distress
of the man with a fixed income dimin
ishes his power of consumption. Next,
the artisan and the laborer whose
wages have risen somewhat in the per
iod of prosperity find that the rise af
ter all does not make up to them the
additional sums that they are forced
to expend. The farmer who has been
made suddenly rich by his great grain
crops sold at high prices owing to
blighted harvests in foreign countries,
discovers that that condition of af
fairs was exceptional and that crop
failures can fall to his lot as well as tu
that of others. . The great, profits of
speculation cease and the rich and
well-to-do curtail their purchases of
luxuries. So consumption gradually
lessens throughout the community un
til in the natural' course of events it
zines and newspapers thought that
they were doing the service that their
masters required of them by advocat
ing dear money, which they covered
up under the phrase-"sound money."
On the other hand, -whenever any one
tried to get an4 article printed show
ing , that the only good money,"
"sound money," or "honest money"
was money of an unvarying purchas
ing power and that the constant rise
in the purchasing power of the dollar
was to the- sole; advantage of those
who lived on interest or dealt in notes,
falls to a point as unduly low as it
previously . rose to a point extra va-i-gantly
high. A general inspection of
business enterprise ' occurs which , de
stroys many a proud fortune,' and usf
ually results in as unwise withholding
of credit as it was preceded by an Im
proper extension of It. Money rises. in
value, and then in- the general depres
sion which prevails the "man with a
fixed income finds that he is-as com
paratively rich as, when matters were
reversed a few - years before, he was
comparatively - poor. So the balance
of production and consumption con
tinually rises and falls.? Its swing is
slow, but it Is ceaseless and supreme.
Tears and penury accompany it as well
as riches and smiles.''.;',
These Cuctuating conditions of
which he complains are not inevitable,
they are not caused by spots on the
sun as some of the gold standard writ
ers have attempted to prove, they are
the direct result , of our system of fi
nance which allows bankers and other
private parties to control the volume
of money in circulation. The volume
of money should be controlled by tho
government in some such way as Mill
points out and not by banks of issue,
for prices will rise and fall as the
amount !of money increases or dimin
ishes and with as much certainty as
the planets obey the law of gravita
tion. ; The republican party has in
creased the quantity of money enorm
ously, coining more silver than evjr
was coined before in the same length
of time and allowing the banks to par
ticipate in a wild rush of issuing paper
money in addition to the tremendous
output of gold. -
Don't Want Them V
The delay in handing down the d'i
cision in the case of the Philippine
which' Involves the vital question of
Imperialism begins to excite comment.
The other day Senator Turner talked
about it In an interview as follows :
"By its decision in the Insular cases
the supreme court has unsettled every
thing in connection with the Philip
pine situation. ; There is no doubt the
executive branch of the government is
greatly embarrassed in.; dealing with
the Philippines by reason of these de
cisions. The court gave the law to the
democratic, party and the decision to
the republican party.
"The views of the court sustained
the position taken by the democrats in
both houses. When the republicans
legislate for the Philippines they will
come in contact with the views of the
majority of the" supreme court.
"Whenever ; case comes before the
court in wbich' It shall be held that
the territories have distinctly been
made a part of the United States there
will be eight . Qf the nine members of
the court favoring the view that th-j
new possessions are entitled to all thf
rights under the constitution.
"About the only way the republican
party can avoid bringing the Philip
pines into the union and giving the in
habitants and their products admis
sion to this country is to continue h
state of war, because when war ceases
the Philippines are given a civil gov
ernment, according to the theories of
eight justices Of the Supreme court,
and become part and parcel of our do
main. '
"We do not want the Philippines and
do not need them. We will be better
off without the islands. The natives
fought the Spaniards for 300 years,
and the country and people are of such
a character that they can continue to
fight any power which tries to con
trol them."

Unlqn Feature of tbe Negotiations
From Which tbe Northern Secori.
tlea Company Vaa Born Part Act-
. ed by Morgan Little Sleep For the
Worker Magnitude of the Opera
tion.
- It is regarded as within bounds to
Bay that the successful formation of a
company to take over the control of the
Northern Pacific the Great Northern
and the Burlington railways sur
mounts the most difficult problem ever
presented to American financial inter
ests, writes a correspondent of the New
York Post. This 5s not because of the
extent of the capital Involved, great aa
this Is. but rather because of the pe
culiarly delicate character of the prob
lems presented and the necessity of
conciliating powerful and aggressive
and seemingly irreconcilable interests.
Personality has counted for much at
every stage of the long drawn out
quarrel. It was a question of the per
sonality of Mr. Hill which was largely
responsible for the opening of the quar
rel. It was tbe aggressive personality
of B. H. Harrlman of the Union Pa
cific which . brought the quarrel to a
bead, although it does not appear that
he originated the plan of buying con
trol of Northern Pacific in reprisal
for the Burlington purchase. Mr. Ja
cob H. Schiff's conservatism and peace
ful characteristics were chiefly respon
sible for forcing the truce upon the
younger participants in the contest and
in holding the quarreling elements In
check when passions ran high. Final
ly the touchstone of - success, which
might otherwise have been wanting,
was found in the character and reputa
tion for falrmindedness. of J. Pler
pont Morgan.; These four men were
tbe principals in the organization, the
men whose, agreement was essential to
the successful , formation of the com
pany. But probably no other corpora
tion, not even the United States Steel
corporation, required so much consulta
tion, the agreement of so many men,
such numerous conferences or so much
activity among all the principals.
The organization of the United States
Steel corporation was virtually accom
plished in the office of .1. P. Morgan &
Co. Everybody in interest came to Mr.
Morgan. All deferred in the end to his
wojd. He carried the trust through by
the force of his own character; He
was ahead of everybody else pushing
clerks, steel men. lawyers and bankers
in the' work. The greatest lawyers of
New York then spent days In his office.
He would tell them that he wanted
such and such a matter put into legal
shape. In a few hours he would ask
for the result of their work or bring
new ideas to them to work over. They
were always begging him for time. In
organizing the Northern Securities
company Mr, Morgan has been a less
positive factor. Instead pf being the
actuating force tie has In much of the
negotiations been a sort of umpire,; ap
pealed to when the factions could not
agree. This is hiis position as actually
fixed under certain of the agreements
finally reached. "
If Mr. Hill had, not once opposed the
formation of a proprietary company to
hold Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, he might possibly have con
trolled the latter from Its last reorgani
zation. When Brayton Ives, then pres
ident of the Northern Pacific and
chairman of the stockholders' commit
tee, opposed Mr. Hill's Berlin agree
ment with the Deutsche bank for the
Great Northern railway to guarantee
Northern Pacific a certain fixed
amount of net learnings, Mr. Hill re
fused to agree to the plan of a pro
prietary company. It did not require
an adverse court decree on the Grea.t
Northern guarantee to kill that plan
after the newspapers of the day an
nounced that "Mr. Hill Informed
Messrs. Adams. Morgan and others in
terested with them that the third com
pany plan did not appeal to him and
that he had decided to stand upon his
original proposition." He is now presi
dent and the dominant Interest in such
a third company and after six years
has secured the result be then sought
by the means be then rejected. This
shows Mr. Hill'si noted pertinacity and
his readiness to shift his ground to
gain his ends.
Mr. Hill remained In New York fully
a month working out the settlement of
tbe problem. Scarcely ft day in that
time passed without several confer
ences, and in almost all of these Mr.
Hill was the central figure. The gene
sis of the Northern Securities company,
unlike that of most large corporations,
was not in any fixed committee room,
office or definite location. Most of the
meetings were in the office of J. P.
Morgan & Co. but Mr. Hill in the past
month has been .hurrying from one
office to another. There was no time in
many Instances for office conferences.
The usual spectacle was frequently
seen of Mr Hill and Mr. Bacon of J. P.
Morgan &-Co. and later Mr. Perkins of
the same.(.flrm conferring In a corner
of the entrance to some office building
down town, when there was no time to
go to the office of either and some point
had to be sett!?d immediately.
In a sense tbe yeoman work of the
negotiations, working out of the details
under discussioa by the principals, fell
to the younger men of the two banking
bouses of: J. I?. Morgan & Co. and
Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. Mr. Perkins in the
fornier and Mr. Otto H. Kuhn In the
latter Both of these men are young
for the Immense responsibilities they
have. In personal characteristics they
are the 'opposite of the other negotia
tors except as regards activity, but
with tact and diplomacy where Messrs.
Hill and Harrima a have bluntness and
aggressiveness. They have Wen, more
or less, the unseen and the unrecog
nized factors, b'utthelr contribution to
the success of Ahi final plan has been
material if not fundamental. They pre
pared the way for Mr, Schiff and Mr.
Morgan . to entr . the conferences,
whereas at first these leadera acted
only as advisers j Mr. Morgan, howev
er, did not go out of his office to at
tend any conference. Mr. Scblff attend
ed many ln?. that office, at the Union
Pacific railway headquarters, at Mr.
Hill's office and at his own place of
business, so, that the new Northern Se
curities company" jpame Into being at
many places. , . . s . . . ,
In the final weeip conferences were
almost continuous,, going on up town
after business hours. One of the men
mentioned here eajd after the recent
Northern, pacific meeting, "Now I am
going home to get some sleep, for I
have hardly been out of the clothes I
have on for three days." '.I
In fact,, up to Wednesday, Nov, 13,
when the charter pf the new proprie
tary company wais, filed In New Jersey,
no one knew positively what plan
would be finally adopted. Three alter
native plans badFbeen worked out In
all legal details, and until the last mo
ment any one ofhe three might have
been chosen. The,, legal difficulties were
Immense, with the railroads ; to be con
trolled lying in nfteen statea, most of
them with anticonsolidation laws, and
an adverse sentiment, such as has now
developed in Minnesota.
Even from the standpoint of capital
Involved .the formation of the new
company will A always . stand out as
noteworthy, for It ranks as the largest
capitalized property in the world, mar
ket value considered, , and above the
United States Steel corporation and the
Standard Oil company. The latter has
about $97,500,000 "outstanding, capital,
of a market value of about . $683,000,
000. The United States Steel corpora
tion has $1,013,000,000 of stock capital,
of a market valuation "of $093,100,000
at very recent prices. It has also
over $300,000,000 bonds outstanding
and other Issues on subsidiary proper
ties, making it the largest capitalized
corporation in the United States. The
new Securities company is not far be
hind it in the value of its securities
and' those ''of Its controlled properties.
The only securities of the company
Itself will be Its share capital, now
$400,000,006, quoted at early market
prices at about $440,000,000. In addi
tion, however, the three railways It
controls have at least $642,000,000
bonds outstanding, nearly all selling
above par. many of them considerably
above par. The company therefore
practicall j ranks as a billion dollar cor
poration, the value of the capital out
standing on the property it controls be
ing at least $1,082,000,000.

JUGGLER'S GREAT FEAT.
Bedlnl Caught With Fork Turnip
Dropped From High Building.
Bedlnl, the vaudeville juggling clown,
had a headache the other day and ev
ery tooth saturated with a cocaine so
lution, but he has a nice new thousand
dollar bill, in his pocket, and he knows
that head and teeth aches can't last
long. ,.
He accumulated all these things by
catching oh a fork held in his teeth two
of three turnips thrown at him from
the top of the Masonic temple in Chi
cago, says the New York World. From
there to the street is a drop of 340 feet,
and scientific men said that If the tur
nip did not burst from friction It would
land on Bedlnl's face with force
enougl? 'to break his neck. But the lit
tle clown Insisted on trying. He had
the turnips .wrapped in yarn so; they
could not burst and took up his posi
tion In. State street before an enormous
crowd. .5 '
The first turnip be missed. The sec
ond he caught on a steel band about
his forehead. This staggered him, but
he plucklly stood for the third and
caught It straight on the prongs of the
fork. He was driven to his knees, but
held on and in a few minutes was able
to walk away. ,

er thus summarizes his Judgment of
the president: . v
"Out of the clouds of misconception
and the false impressions thrown about
this picturesque figure by the cartoon
ists and the paragraphers. more inter
ested in sensationalism than In reali
ty, there suddenly emerges this In
tensely earnest, forceful, brave, patriot
ic, humanity loving, broadminded, non
sectional American, this practical ideal
ist, to become tbe youngest ruler of
the greatest country In the world."
