The legislative history of two years of democratic rule was com pleted March 4. Those ttfo years have been marked by one of the most active periods of law making this country has ever seen. With a house ready and able to execute his decrees down to the last word and with a working majority in the senate. President Wilson took the oath of office March 4, 1913. With prophetic eagerness he sum moned congress in extra session a month later. With the exception of six weeks of respite last fall the party machinery has been in opera tion ever since, grinding out ex perimental laws that affect every phase ef our social and commercial life. m hat does a study of that record show? It discloses the fact that during that time the democratic congress has enacted and the democratic president has signed more crude, imperfect and nugatory laws than ever were written during the same length of time by any American congress. It furnishes an indict ment of haste and lack of legisla tive intelligence that is bound to be humiliating to the party re sponsible. That there has been a tremend ous quantity of legislation cannot be denied. More than four hun dred public laws have been placed upon the statute books by the democrats since they came into power. These are designated “pub lic” because they appropriate money tor general purposes or af fect general law. In addition to these, hundreds of private bills have been passed. Those who have closely observed the methods of legislation used by the democratic majority are not surprised at the family results. The present admihistration has been admittedly notable, even no torious. for its steam roller short cuts in enacting laws. Every im portant bill passed has been put through with small consideration beyond that of party expedience. As soon as the president proposed a law, then the caucus approved it, the majority rushed it through committees and back to the presi dent for his signature, all with as little debate as possible, and under iron clad special rules that per mitted no chance for intelligent consideration or amendment. It is conceivable that a few bills might be put through a legislative body in this way and emerge in perfect form. But to use such methods indiscriminately, as the democratic congress has done, is practically to insure the enactment of laws which future congresses must either repeal or spend many weeks to amend. This is the task which democratic haste and lust ful use of a powerful majority has Created for future congresses. Specific examples of blundering will not be enumerated in this ar ticle. It is enough at present to make the general statement that the democratic party has “sown a ■ % wind of legislation and is reaping a whirl wind of mistakes.” Future articles will appear that will show in detail the various instances of blundering, careless drafting of bills that finally went on the statute books without correction. A preliminary statement made by the superintendent of the North Platte experimental substation concerning Sudan grass says: “The results of the two years have not proved to us that Sudan grass is superior to sorghum, but later tests under different weather con ditions may give results that will indicate that Sudan grass is su perior to sorghum as an annual forage crop under Nebraska con ditions. It has undoubtedly given remarkable results in many places and is certainly worthy of thor ough trial. It is lauded as a dry land crop but may, like brome grass, prove a humid orsub-humid crop rather than a semiarid crop. ” The complete statement will be sent on request upon application to the bulletin clerk, University Farm, Lincoln. A circular telling of the produc tion requirements of the different breeds of dairy cattle and expenses in securing official tests has just been issued by the dairy depart ment of the University of Nebras ka. The circular and any other information regarding official test ing may be received from the dairy department. University Farm, Lincoln.

The mills of God are grinding with exactness at the end of the long lane .vhich has no turning. He who uses a giant's strength to pull a dandelion will bump the back of his head against a brick. An anxious youth writing to his home paper wants to know if he can kiss a girl when a star shoots. He can, if he has the girl and she will let him. There is absolutely no grain of pity in consequences. To appeal to them for quarter is absolutely useless. We must go back to the cause of consequence and right that, to correct the evil. A man entered one of our stores the other day and asked the price of sulphur. When told it was ten cents he said “I can get it from the mail order house for eight cents.” “Yes” replied our merchant, who had evidently heard that argument before, “and you can get it in hell for nothing, and won't have to pay the freight.” He sold him the sulphur alright. Moses was the first journalist, because he wrote on the tablets of stone but Noah went him one better and advertised. Noah built the ark and announced the day for sailing. He whooped ’er up live ly and made a greatdisplay. The non-believers scoffed at him and died in the wet water. Thus again did the man who advertised triumph. You can’t keep a good man down, especially if he adver tises. The Tornado Season is here! Or had you forgotten it? Remember WISCONSIN in 1914 and Nebraska in 1913 And guard against the loss of your property. I Do you know when your turn will come?

Miss Lucienne Chase was ab sent last week because of sickness. The high school boys have be gun to practice base ball. ‘‘Keep it up boys, and show the neigh boring towns the difference be tween base ball and foot ball. The junior class held two class meetings the past week and as their class meetings always result in acts, be prepared to say yes when they call upon you and ask vou to buy a ticket or tickets for the concert the 29th. The botany class have become so intent upon their search for flowers that they have contracted a mania for anything green. The other day one of their number was found kneeling on the sidewalk trying to dig up a green ’18 with a small pocket knife. The high school pupils were both alarmed and astonished at the radical change which came over Miss Fawthrop last week. For three days she spoke very sel dom. but the change was not per manent and now since her cold has improved she talks as much as formerly. The old brick school house has passed through many hard tem uests, but the building never shook in a storm as it did last Wednesday afternoon in the great storm of sighs and lamentations caused by the contents of the re-! port cards which at that time were given out to the 11th and 12th grades. The second annual debate on a practical topic occurect in the 9th' grade hist week. The question was as follows: Resolved that Miss Fawthrop believes in athletic training. The strongest proof on the affirmative side and it was the following by Tena French. 1 know that Miss Fawthrop be lieves in atheletic training because as I was sitting in my seat chew ing gum she passed up the aisle and after stumbling over my feet asked me to take my gum out of my mouth and put my feet in. I This proof was conclusive and won rhe debate. For Sale.

An Interview With Mr. Ford The following interview was given by Mr. Ford to one of the aggressive Ford agents, who returned to his home and gave it to his terri tory in the following newspaper advertisement: This is the Most Important Advertisement l Ever Caused to be Published.—Read Every W ord—and then Marvel! On a personal visit to Mr. Henry Ford I broached the subject of a possible Au gust 1st Rebate. (Tho Ford Company announced last year—as you well rememb^r— tliat if their total sales eaehetl .'loo.ooo cars between Augusi l. 1914, au«t August 1. 19ir>. each purchaser during that period would receive back a refund of $40.00 to $00.00.) "Mr. Ford,” J suggested, “Is there anything I can say to our people with regard to the Ford Motor Com pany's car rebate plan?” “We shall sell the 300,000,” was the quiet reply- '‘and in 11 months ahead of August 1st!” “Then a refund is practically assured?” Yes—barring the totally unexpected. We are 50,000 to 75,000 cars behind orders today. Factory and branches are sending cut 1800 daily.” i then said to Mr. Ford: “If I could make a definite refund statement we would increase our local sales 500 cars.” " You may say” uas Mr. Ford’s deliberate and signifi cant reply to this—“ You may say that we shall payback to each purchaser of a Ford car between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915, barring the unforseen, the sum of $50. V ou may say that I authorized you to make this statement!” What can I add to the above? $15,000,000 in cash coming back to Ford owners! And to prospective Ford owners up to August 1. 1915, it actually means— Ford Touring cars for $49(1.00—less the $50.00 rebate! Ford Runabouts for $440.00—less the $50.00 rebate! What is there left for me to say? A. C. OGLE Local Agent, Loup City, Neb.
