form demands that the. interstate com-
"-erco commission be given power to
fix nud change rates an its Initiative.
The Republican platform Is silent on
thispolnt. There is nothing here of
what is commonly called "radicalism,"
tmb ,therc cau be no doubt that, while
the Republican party' lias receded
'Irom. the Roosevelt, position on the
tallroad question, the- Democracy has

iwrtWftTfkM.
Early in the Democratic ' platform
cornea a statement which must "have
abooked more than one complacent
patriot aud made him wonder if he
kad read aright. The present Repub
Mcau administration has boasted of
ibe purity of Its intentions bo long and
:tc loudly that many have come to take
be self-praise for performance. It is
Kuaewhat of a jar to learn therefore,
that in the lust six years nearly 100,
uu$ new federal ofllces have been cre
ated, costing; nunually close to 870,000,
000., This Is qboiit ten times as many
an wcro ever added to the federal pat
jonage in a similar time before Those
who 'attended or kept track of the
Chicago convention can testify that
this increased patronage Is In the
aands of a man who knows how to use
it to further his political plans. In
the light of this information, it Is not
anrprising to be told congress, in the
session just ended, appropriated more
than one billion dollars, and that there
is a deficit for the year of 800,000,000
The Republican platform did not
mention those things,
Antl-lnlanctloii Plank.
And perhaps nowhere did the De
mocracy disappoint its enemies more
than in the anti-injunction plank.
Tho Republican party merely recited
tho present law. The fear was ex
jarcssed that the Democratic party
would make an attack on the courts.
But the Democratic party, strongly
aftlrming its faith in the general good
conduct and righteousness of the
courts, pointed out that there was a
jreXorm ueeded In judicial procedure,
and demanded that cases of Indirect
contempt be tried before, a jury. This
ball that the conservative men among
the- labor leaders want, and it Is some
thing which few judges can deny to
c just.
It Is a platform whleh will grow in
strength the more it is scrutinized,

Tax "Reform" In Nebraska.
Five years ago, when the rallrrad
and corporation lobby down 'at Lin
J coin combined to force the revenue
bill through the legislature, the World-
' "cpaW warned the farmers what would
happen. It asserted then that the
purpose of the law was to compel the
collection of such a large measure of
taxation from the farms that the rail
roads and big corporation would be
enabled to escape the light for a juster
taxation of their own property. It
,. .. ' ' .' . .
preuiciou mai, once ine law got into
full swing, farmers would be found
paying a larger proportion than ever
of the taxes, and the railroads a small
er proportion.
Exactly what this newspaper then
predicted has come to pass.
The railroads, which in 10(K1 were
assessed at 27 millions, In round num
bers, are this year assehsert at M
millions. Their assessment has not'
(uite doubled.
All other property, which was ah-
Hcssed in IU0.1 at 101 millions, is this
year assessed at .12.1 millions and the ,
state board has announced Its purpose
to ralho the llgure still higher when It
sits as a board of equalisation. Other
property, therefore, has been more j
than doubled. I
In a single year, from 1U07 to I'.MW, J
there Is practically no Increase In '
railroad assessments. Hut farm land I
Is jumped from 110 millions-to lt2 1
millions; It will probably go to 200
millions by the time the state boaid
gets through with it. And this same
farm land bears practically the entire
burden of the vast Increase in the to
tal assessed valuation of the state
an increase of almost ID per cent on
Nebraska farms!
I.lttle wonder If the state's ilniuccs
are nourishing! Little wonder if the
railroads arc satislied!
A few years ago Nebraska was
ablaze with Indlgr.ati n because of
"railroad tux-dodging." and all parties
promised to remedy it.
Today under "reform" republican
administration, tho railroads pay a
smaller proportion of the total tax
than they did then, when the light
was begun for justice! World-Herald.

Slaughter of Wild Swans.
Gunners on tho lower Niagara
river almost annihilated a flock ol
wild swans that visited that section
lato Sunday afternoon.
Most of the swans woro brought
down with fowling pieces as the)
hovered over tho lowor river, but not
a few of them were taken allvo. The
birds that settled Into tho wntor
scorned to get caught In the Ico uti'l
eddlos and could not rise and the hunt
era went after them In boatB.
Tho capture of Bwano at that poln
is not an unusual occurrence, thougt

PERIOD OF REST PROCLAIMED.
r -
Absenco of Light Regulates the Hours
of Slumber.
If It wcro always daytime, wo should
never sloop. So says a uclontlst, tic
cording to Answers. There Is no par
ticular reason why we, or any other
animals, should rest, on an average,
eight or nine hours a day.
Tho period of rest has boon deter
mined by tho fact that eight hours Is
tho average time when there Is a
lack of Htilllclont light to enable us to
movo about In comfort.
This most fundamental distinction
between night and day is wholly rela
tive to tho sense of Bight. It only
affocts those typoa of life which have
developed eyes.
Plants, being dependent for their
growth upon the action of rays of sun
light which fall upon their loaves,
havo a wldo distinction between day
and night functions.
They oat and digest In tho light,
and grow during tho hours of dark
ness. Tho lowest forms of animal life
llio sightless denizens of ocean depths
do not rest at regular Intervals.
They prowl around !ncM:nntly, seek
ing prey hy the sense of touch alone.
When they rest. It Is at Irregular pe
riods. In other words, they havo no
distinct periodicity of their own.
Rut as soon as eyest uro developed,
ind In proportion to this development,
animals begin to divide their time Into
two main portlons-a waking and a
sleeping time. While thore Is light
they perform all motive funcd'ms,
When darknes.4 comes they retire to
neat or lair to rest.
ARE MASTERS OF EVASIVENESS.
Bedouin's Answer Typical of the Peo
ple of the East.
In tho far oast, when men converse
together, nn evasion Is equal to nn
tnswor. Riding down to Egypt over
tho old caravan route from Jerusalem
to Cairo, Norman Duncan and a party
pitched their touts outside a Iledouln
village nnd by so doing offended
ignlnst tho laws of hospitality which
tho people so religiously maintain.
Mr. Duncan, writing In Harper's Mag
izlne. sayH that ho was obliged to turn
sldo their reproaches and avoid the
ibomlnablo quarters which wore still
oelng offered. Turning to his guide,
no Bald: "Tho man must bo diverged.
Ask him if tho world is round or
Hat." The reply wao a pure philoso
pher's Jewel of tho oast. "If the world
la flat," came the response, after
beavy pondering, "I am content: If It
Is round, It Is by Gad's wlsaom." And
the raon softiy applauded, In their
ploasure forgetting thoir Injury, for
Setting everything except the Joyous
native craft of words.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be cotisidcretl that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder ot
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify this blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy,' Ur.
Kilmer's Swauip-Uoot, because as soon
r.s your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
wil' convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
