, RAILROADS PROSPEROUS
C. F. Parker, vice president in charge of
purchases for the Illinois Central Railroad
company, recently gave a demonstration of
how to create a business boom. He accept
ed delivery of an order of five thousand box
cars, costing approximately $6,000,000, con
firmed an order for 1.000 new refrigerator
cars valued at $1,200,000, and announced
that he was getting ready to order 100 new
gondola cars.
When interviewed on the subject, Mr. Par
ker said: “It is all a capitalization of our
optimistic feeling. The railroads are quick
to seize upon an indication, and we have
not let up on our buying. Business men
everywhere are optimistic. The manufac
turers of the middle west are all confident,
and that means business. The outlook is
excellent for the railroads, and they are
next to agriculture in importance. The
roads already have given contracts amount
ing to millions of dollars, but there will be
more buying than ever within the next two
months. The opening up in weather condi
tions will give employment to thousands of
rough laborers on construction and other
right-of-way work and cleaning up. This
usually begins about March 1. No one
expects a heavy year in new construction,
but the lines will continue projects now con
tracted for.
“ONE-EYED PETE"
The department of zoology at Harvard re
cently undertook to find out certain things
about the worm family which they suspected
but of which they were not quite certain. A
worm was put in a box with two holes cut in
it, through which it could crawl in and out.
Across the path leading to the exit he would
naturally use, there was a wire charged
lightly with electricity. The worm crossed
the wire and got the shock. He tried again
and took the unpleasant current. The third
time he had the same experience. He only
needek three lessons, and then he became
wise. He never tried that door again, al
ways went out and in by the one that had
no live wire in front of it. This worm, which
the professors call “One-Eyed Pete,” might
teach some people who never learn by ex
perience, people who will run up against the
same snag, butt their heads up against the
same stone wall of opposition, be shocked
by the same electric current of warning
time after time with no wisdom learned by
experience.—Christian Herald.
The value of western history is being more
and more appreoiated as the subject is in
vestigated. Nebraska’s history is as inter
esting and important as that of Massachu
setts; the story of the development from In
dian occupancy to present conditions is as
full of heroic deeds as the recorded history
of any of the New England states. The State
Historical Society has been busy for many
years gathering and preserving historical
data and relics for posterity. By ceaseless
effort a very valuable collection has been
secured. In 1907 a building was begun for
the purpose of providing fire-proof quarters
for its display. A bill recently introduced
in the legislature provides for the comple
tion of this building by a quarter mill levy
for two years, which would be a light burden
relatively, only 81.00 on property worth $10,
000 Nebraska’s records and relics are
worth it.
In furtherance of Postmaster General Bur
leson’s “economy policy.” it is reported that
whole crews of railway mail clerks have been
laid off in some of the eastern divisions of
the service, and that a general order provid
ing for the granting of “leave without pay”
to all the clerks in theservicemay be issued.
In line with this policy of the department
there is under consideration a cut in the pay
of carriers and collectors and the suspension
of the promotion with advances in pay that
has been the custom in the department,
heretofore.
On April 2, a woman’s political meeting
at Chicago broke up in a row, nearly termi
nating in a riot, and was brought to an end
when the managers of the theatre in which
the meeting was held dropped the big steel
curtain and sent in a riot call for the police.
The women of Illinois have had the vote
only a short time and are learning fast, but
from all the evidence now at hand they will

to retain that adornment;'
The state legislature is now working over
time without pay* their time limit expiring
several days ago. Governor Morehead is
making a record of introducing two new
bills a day and members of both houses are
working overtime to bring the session to a
close. A great deal of the taxpayers’
money has been spent and the state treas
ury probably will be in good condition again
two years hence when the next legislature
convenes.
While this winter has been a very hard
one in many respects with deep and perma
nent snow, roads in a terrible condition and
muddy, rough roads still in evidence, the
fact remains that the small grain crops are
practically assured. Many farmers are still
unable to work in their fields and are con
siderably behind with spring work.
One day last week in the Nebraska House
of representatives sixty-eight bills were
killed at one shot. While pot shooting is
frowned upon by true sportsmen the rule is
excepted to in the above case, the only ob
jection being that the “bill killing” was not
commenced some time ago.
Now that the city election is over we can
give our attention to planning a Fourth of

events for the social benefit of the citizens
