C. S. Morrison has been working
the road all along the divide this
week. He has ditched it deep on the
sides, making a good drain for the
water. Of course all roads should be
wider, but to make them the width
they ought to be only a few miles
could be gone over each year.
The two good roads days will be
held the last two days in October.
Let us put down your name for two
days. Don’t refuse two days’ work
on this piece of road, because it does
not help you. Come help on it and
next year I intend to put in one big
day from Johnson's corner past C.
W. Burts’ place, and the second day
from Bill Brown’s west to the Prairie
Gem school house, so you see you
will all be benetitted by it next year.
All farmers this year will harvest
two crops on their potato ground this
year, one crop of good potatoes and
a heavy growth of grass. Hundreds
of tons of prairie hay has gone into
the stack in the finest shape in many
years. There will be no poor hay put
on the market this year. The past
three weeks has been too dry for fall
plowing, but good for corn. Stack
threshing has commenced. The pas
tures are still good and horses and
cattle have never looked better. A
lot of winter wheat is being put in
the cornfields.
I want to thank all for coming out
and attending the picture show like
you did. As I said, before, the pic
tures cost me over $450. I got back
at the opera house door, over and
above all expenses, $117.50, leaving
a balance to get yet of $343. My ex
pense was quite heavy, for I got good
reels to show with the Route pictures.
1 wanted you to get 25 cents worth.
I will show the pictures to all the
towns around here and will let you
know how I come out.
One of the saddest death that has
occurred on Route 2 for a long time
was that of N. P. Nielsen. He leaves
a wife and nine children to mourn
his death. Mr. Nielsen had been ail
ing for over a year and the cause of I
his death was said to be heart trou
ble. Last spring Mr. Nielsen was tak
en to a sanitarium for treatment and
he returned feeling much better, but
was only home a short time until he
had to be taken back again. He again
came home feeling quite a good deal
better and did considerable work up
to the very day of his death. The sad
dest feature of his death is that only
four of the nine children are able to
take care of themselves. Mr. Nielsen
had quite a lot of live stock and two
quarter-sections of land. Mr. Nielsen
was a fine man, liked by all who knew
him. The carrier and patrons on
Route 2 who knew him sympathize
with the family in their trouble.
I know all have been anxiously
waiting for the decision of the judges,
to see who were the winners in the
parade contest. The first float was
awarded to Mrs. Jas. W. Conger, In
dian s.quaw; second float, to my little
girl, Sadie, with the float of Peace to
Our Ship of State. The third award
went to the postoffice float, gotten up
by C. F. Beushausen, and assisted by
the rural carriers and office force. I
was sorry that these floats had been
judged, for none of us Intended that
our floats should be judged, but I for
got to tell the judges, so it was my
fault and not theirs. The next floats
that were chosen were the Red Cross,
first, gotten up by the Ladies’ And
society on Wiggle Creek; second was
Mrs. C. W. Conhiser and Miss Bettie
Rettenmayer. This also had to be
thrown out as there were neither one
route patrons. The second prize then i
went to the Horn of Plenty, gotten up
by the grange; third prize was award
ed to the peace float, gotten up by the
Prairie Gem Sunday school. In Class
B, the first prize was won by Roy
Conger and W. H. McLanghlin for
their meat market float, in which they
made bologna out of dogs, cats and
old horses. This float never failed to
bring the laugh. The second prize
was awarded to Mr. and Mrs.
John Gallaway, the Chinese Restau
rant, assisted by several others. It
was also fine. The third prize was
awarded to the court house. This
happened to be my sou, Harry, and
some other float had to be chosen
again and the award went to the
iirowu Loach. you. can see that the
judges had a hard time. 1 hope that
all will be satisfied with their decis
ions, for each one took down their
own notes and then compared them
with the others, selecting several to
fall back on in case something was
wrong with the one that they had
chosen. The judges were Supt. L. H.
Currier, Prof. J. H. Burwell, and J. F.
Nicoson, and you all know these men
to be good judges. The prizes were:
Class A—First, $2; second, $1.; third,
50 cents. Class B—First, $2; second,
*1; third, 50 cents. Please call and
get the prizes.
C. S. Morrison has been working
the roads along the divide this week.
He has ditched it deep on the sides,
making a good drain for the water.
Of course, all roads ought to be wider,
but to make them the width they
ought to be, only a few miles could
be gone over each year. Everybody
wants more or less road work along
their lines and if only a few miles
were done and the rest let go there
would be a big holler. The way Mr.
Morrison is doing, all the ditches are
cleared on both sides over most of his
district. One thing that we could not
help but appreciate was that he cut
all the tall grass and weeds on each
side of the road and had them raked
to one side. It only takes a short
time to do this and the amount of
time saved in not having to bother
with the weeds on the point of the
brader saves a good many dollars to
his district, and when he gets through
he has not got a big bunch of trash
piled in bunches ever few feet from
the center of the road and it is in
good shape for the road drag. An
other thing Mr. Morrison expects to
do is to put the road drag on the
newly made roads this fall, settling
them as much as possible. If he does,
watch his roads and see the fine con
dition of them for winter. The road
drag is the best and cheapest road
tool there is. The only thing, it is
not used half enough. The rutted
condition of the road on all hill roads
could be avoided and the money that
is spent to fix them up in the fall
could almost all be saved if the drag
were used. Of course, the past year
has been a hard one on roads. But,
for example, go look at the road Fred
Pinckney and Frank Zwink have kept
in shape all this year with the drag.
This piece of road is very hilly and
the soil is such that it washes badly
each year. Take a look at it and see
for yourself if road dragging pays.
Hans Johnson, road boss in a Logan
township district, is another road boss
who believes in the road drag. His
roads have shown the effects
of the drag most of the summer.
There ought to be a law passed in
the house and senate next fall making
it a fine for the road boss or the town
ship officers if they neglect this duty.
Many road bosses do not like to drag
the roads because a great many peo
ple in their district think that it is
money thrown away, not realizing
the value of it yet. If the road drag is
used no weeds could grow along the
roadside. Keeping the ditches free of
trash would cause the roads to dry
up twice as quick and the water could
not stand in them. Andrew Thomp
son is another road boss that realizes
the value of the drag and his road to
the brown bridge shows the effect of
it.

south Seeks New Curb on Negro Vote
Political leaders at Washington are
beginning to take stock as a result of
the supreme court’s two decisions re
cently knocking out the "grandfather
clauses” in the Oklahoma and Mary
land election laws.
New legislation, both by the states
and congress, is one of the things pre
dicted by those familiar with the at
tempt of the southern states to pre
vent the negroes from voting.
Unless the states are able to Ind
|ome new means of curtailing the ne
gro vote between now and 1916 heavy
Republican gains are predicted for
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
Southern states, still intent on re
stricting the negro voters, are expect
ed to turn to the literacy test. Tfte
objection to the literacy test is that it
would deprive a great many white
citizens of the southern states of the
ballot.
It was pointed out that the decisions
may have a direct bearing on legisla
tion at the approaching session of con
gress. During the closing days of the
last session the Democrats attempted
to obtain the adoption of a cloture
rule in the senate. The Republicans
opposed it in order to prevent the
passage of the ship purchase bill.
When cloture was up before the
Democrats opposed it because they be
lieved the Republicans would use it to
break down their election laws. Now
that those laws are in danger, it is be
lieved by some persons that no fur
ther attempt will be made in behalf
of the cloture rule and that the Demo
cratic leaders will take their chances
on legislation in preference to opening
a way for the tearing down of the
southern bars on negro suffrage

MISSION OF THE
OOSINESS MAN
Elihn Root to the Union Leape,
Philadelphia.
SHOULD ASSERT THEMSELVES.
Urges Campaign of Education For
Clearing Away of Misunderstandings.
Men Now In Control of Government
Hostile to American Enterprise.
I had been thinking, as I came over
In the train this afternoon, of my as
sociations with Philadelphia, and 1
found, strangely enough, that of all
the dear friends I have known here,
my mind went back constantly to Mc
Kinley. I recall how, eighteen years
ago, I came here upon a telegram to
meet him, to talk about the condition
of things in Spain. I remember how
he said, “There is danger of war;
there must not be war with Spain;
there shall not be war with Spain. It
must be and it shall be prevented at
all hazards.” Then I thought of how
little any one man can do. The tend
encies of the mighty 80,000,000 of peo
ple moved on along the path of their
destiny, and even that great and skill
ful man with all the power of his high
office could not prevent it. And I re
member how, a couple of years after,
one of my first journeys as a member
of his cabinet was to come here to
this club to be with him in one of
those great receptions for which you
are so famous. And that led to reflec
tion, not upon specific differences be
tween President McKinley and this
administration, between the legisla
tion or the policies of that time and
this, but to reflection upon what in
the retrospect can be seen to have
been a great nation-wide movement
along the path of the nation's uncon
scious purpose.
When we elected McKinley in 1896
and again in 1900, it was the business
men of the United States who con
trolled the election. It was the gen
eral, the almost universal awakening
of judgment on the part of men who
carried on the great production and
commerce and transportation and
finance in the business of this mighty
and prosperous country, which elected
McKinley and maintained the policies
of his administration.
Scepter Passes From Business Man.
How great has been the change.
The scepter has passed from the busi
ness man. The distinguishing charac
teristic of recent years has been the
conduct Of the government of the
country by men who have
but little concern with the
business of the country, by men who
distrust the man of business, who sus
pect the man of business. Measures
relating to the great business and
the small and multitudinous business
of the country have been framed and
put into effect under influences which
have rejected the voice of those whom
they most immediately affect. The
railroad man’s testimony of what leg
islation there should be affecting rail
roads has been rejected, because he
was a party in interest. The banker's
testimony about finance has been re
jected because he was a party in in
terest. The manufacturer's testimony
about commerce has been rejected be
cause he was a party in interest. The
shipowner’s testimony about the mer
chant marine has been rejected be
cause he wras a party in interest.
Knowledge of the business affairs of
the country has disqualified men from
taking any part in the conduct of the
increasing participation of the govern
ment in the control and direction of
business affairs.
Causes of the Change.
Now, this has not been accidental.
It is not a matter of individuals. It
has had several causes. It has been
partly because of the old hatred of
wealth. Those parts of the country in
which all of the people have been of
comparatively small means have been
filled with men who came to hate the
rich in the great industrial communi
ties in the north and east. Of course
I need not tell you this hatred of
wealth is more than half mere vulgar
worship of wealth. God knows that
too much money does no man any
good; too much money is more apt
than not to ruin his children and in
rite for him kidney disease or harden
ing of the arteries.
But to the poor farmer on the prat
ies of the west or the cotton fields of
the south, it seems as if the rich men
of the eastern cities were living in
heaven at his expense.
Another element of this change has
been an entire or an almost failure of
understanding of the processes, the
conditions, the requirements and the
result of the vast and complicated
business by which the wealth of the
country Is created and maintained.
Under simple conditions we all under
stood each other. Every man of the
community understood in general
about the life, the business and affairs
of the other men in the same commu
nity. But life is so complicated now,
the affairs of this great country are
so involved, that there is very little
real understanding by one community
of the affairs of another. How can
the man who raises a crop of wheat In
Dakota really understand the compli
cated machinery by which his wheat
goes onto the breakfast table in Eu
rope, and the price comes back to
him? So, through a fee’ing of envy
greater wealth of the east and
north, of these industrial communi
ties of which this city is a conspicu
ous example, and through misunder
standings, there has come about a feel
ing of adverse interest instead of the
feeling of common interest that is so
essential to the prosperity and perpet
uity of a country.
Why Business Does Not Start.
I say the scepter has passed. The
control has changed, and it is impos
sible to resist the conclusion that
there lies the reason for the stagna
tion, the hesitation, the timidity, the
unwillingness of American enterprise
today. You cannot say it was the tar
iff alone. You cannot say It is the re
Btrictlons ilpon toe truSTs, the suits
J against the trusts or the great cor
porations which are called trusts,
alone. You cannot say it is the Clay
ton law or the trade commission law
alone. But the men who are control
ing the government of our country to
day are men who have been fighting
the tariff so many years, have been
fighting the trusts, or what they
thought were the trusts—the great
corporations—so long; have been
fighting the railroad companies, the
express companies and the telegraph
companies so long; have been fighting
the banks and the bankers so long,
that when they come to administer the
government of the United States they
can’t rid themselves of an underlying
hostility to American enterprise. And
the reason why business does not start
is because way down in the heart of
Americans there is a doubt as to what
is going to happen at the hands of a
hostile government.
Now, what is going to he done about
it? It is not something to be dis
posed of by conquest. It l.t ».ot some
thing which we ought to be satisfied
with disposing of by more votes
Merely electing a Republican presi
dent in 191fi ought not to be enough.
The country can’t live and prosper
with such misunderstandings. The
people who are doing these things are
honest and good Americans, but they
misundertand a great part of the coun
try. I say that this ought not to be
permitted to continue We cannot live
with that kind of misunderstanding
between the people of one section and
the people of other sections.
Time to Wake Up.
The first thing winch is plain is that
the business men of America, the hon
est, reliable, good fair citizens who
are doing the greatest business of our
country, should become vocal and take
pains to see to it that they are no
longer misrepresented or misunder
stood. What does an honest and fair
man do when he fiiids that somebody
whose good opinion he respects, mis
understands him? He does not try to
shoot the other fellow or injure him;
he tries to remove the misunderstand
ing, and that is what we ought to do.
The business men of America should
wake up—get out of the condition of
mind which they have been in for
some time past, in which they have
taken all sorts of misrepresentations
and aspersions, lying down. They
should assert themselves; they should
put upon foot a campaign of education
and instruction for a clearing of the
air. so that all over our broad land
every American may come to respect
every other American in whatever
business he may be engaged, so that
American citizenship shall be forever
for the American citizen a title of re
spect and regard and brotherly affec
tion. We ought to put an end to the
condition in which a number of the
people in our country feel no regret
at the disasters of the people of ofher
parts of the country. It is not an easy
task, for this is a tremendous country.
But If the men who elected McKinley
will arise to the same standard of
courage and determination that pre
vailed in ISilfi and 1000. the task can
be accomplished.
WTe have had missionaries of re
form, missionaries of new theories,
missionaries of every kind and char
acter. except missionaries of good un
derstanding. The business men of
America should undertake their mis
sion to make themselves understood
by the people of America.
WORK HORSES DISPLAY
GREAT INTELLIGENCE
Union Pacific Improvement Work in
Weber Canyon Develops Trio of
Remarkable Animals.
In the construction of a second
track through Weber Canyon a few
miles east of Ogden the Union Pacific
is expending a large amount of money
and among its employes are number
ed three of the most intelligent
horses in the business, if the latest
reports from the seat of this activity
are to be credited.
Approximately 750,000 cubic yards
of earth and 100,000 cubic yards of
rock will have to be moved to com
plete this work. Steam shovels
handle practically all of this material.
A tunnel through over 250 feet of
solid rock on a point near Gateway
Hill known as Sheep Rock is a part
of the great endeavor, and when the
new line is completed it will give the
Union Pacific a sixty foot grade per
mile as compared with the present
old-line grade of ninety-three feet,
nearly all of the undesirable curva
ture of this present line being
eliminated.
The three horses which have won
renown in the gigantic work at hand
have become famous among the hu
man employes. Thera is Keno, a
nine-year coal black; Jumbo, a ten
year grey, and Don, a seven year
black.
Have they brains?—Oh my!
Each of these bright-eyed Union
Pacific animals seems to know when
the work-track switches are properly
lined and has been known to stop of
his own accord when such is not the
case. Any error by a careless driver
has thus been made impossible by
these horses, by actual observation.
No side-swiped cars and no personal
injuries—thanks to Keno, Jumbo and
Don.
In view of the heavy rock handled
there must be considerable blasting,
and it is the custom for the steam
shovel to give a "scatter whistle’’
when a blast is to be discharged,
thus warning the workmen. A series
Of short whistles announces the com
ing explosions and a number of longer
blasts of the whistle indicate the
number thereof.
When the "scatter whistle” i3
blown the three intelligent horses
plainly show by their nervousness
that they expect to be freed from
their trams, and when unhitched they
follow the workmen up or down the
fill. They likewise appear to count
the number of blasts to be fired, and
will not budge from safety until the
last has been discharged.
Keno, Jumbo and Don are both the
pets and the heroes of the big Weber
Canyon second track work and seem
to have picked up the spirit of “safety
first” taught over the entire Union
Pacific System.

TO FARMERS!
BUY LAND NOW!
There is no better investment in sight right now than to
buy Western lands; buy them before values advance, due to
the high prices of products and the present cycle of productive
years in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming.
In the Big Horn Basin and the North Platte Valley, irri
gated farms are being cul in two and offered for sale on favor
able terms. All crops in those localities are the heaviest on rec
ord. You can secure a Government irrigated farm near Pow
ell, Wyo., almost a gift. This year’s crop on thousands of acres
in Nebraska and Colorado equals in value the original price of
the land.
If you are not fixed to buy, even on easy terms, take a 320
acre Mondell homestead in Wyoming, for mixed dairy faming;

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha, I
Sept. 21.—Cattle receipts yesterday
were not only the heaviest of the year
to date, but the heaviest in the history
of the South Omaha market. Up to
noon a total of 643 cars, 17,183 head,
had been reported In, or 400 more cat
tle than had ever arrived at the yards
in any one day. Last Monday's run
was 11,494 head and on the corre
sponding Monday a year ago 9,129
head were received. Ninety-five per
cent of the cattle were from the west
ern range. The few loads of corn-fed
steers met with a very good demand
as a rule and prices were quotably
about steady. The range beef market
was slow in getting started, and while
some of the best cattle sold steady to
a dime lower, the general trade looked
about 10<3>15c lower. All other mar
kets reported sharply lower prices.
Cows and heifers were also about a
dime lower than the close of last week
and the same was true of the bulk of
the stock cattle and feeding steers.
