,Tho lenders in Congrosa proposo to
mark tho nunivorsnry of tho birth of
Abnham Lincoln by tho passage of
legislation providing for n great monu
moot in Washington. Tho bill has
tho I'pproval of tho leaders of both tho
Uou'O and Senate. It contemplates
spending t.i,000,000 and tho plan is to
havo tho prcsidont sign tho bill on
Lincoln's birthday, Feb., 12.
Tho monumontitsolf istocost3l,00o
000 and tho remainder of the amount
is for the purohuso of n site.
New Lincoln monuments are to bo
unvellod nt Lowoll, Mass., nnd Ornuge,
New .Torsoy.
Perhaps tho most satisfactory monu
raont yet crcotod in honor of our presi
dent Is tho ono in Lincoln, III. It Is
strikingly truthful as a portrait of the
lamp. tjhe ino plcVii'cs-iuo ,poliitln
ms career, ami equally successiui us
nn Idealized typo of pioneer .
Nearly overy importnut city lu tho
United States has erected n in6ntlmont
to this man whom the people love.
Perhaps tho first ono erected was In
1808, in Union Square, N. Y. It Is n
life sized statute showing him in tho
act of addressing an,audieiico and was
erected by popular subscription.
In our state legislature both hous.s
havo recoimnoiitied a bill to pass pro
viding for an appropriation for $15000
with the proviso that tho elticns con
tribute 810,000 more, for u monument
to Lincoln at our state capital.

The many words of approval which
wo havo receivi d on our position taken
in regard to the public school problem
encourages us to further ell'orts. We
havo no means of knowing the exact
number or young people In this county
who are attending business colleges
but wo venture to say that it is vastly
larger than most, people ihluk. This
ought not to be. Our publlo schools
should provide for the education of all
classes and wo would very much liko
to seo a business course provided in
our own high -uhool.
This would keep in school many who
drop out befoio llnishing tho eourso.
We have in mind one young man who
is now in business in this city. His
parents weio anxious for him to bo in
school, lie had no desire or aptltudo
for latin, chemistry or higher nuithe
unities and it was risking too much
that his teachers furnish him natural
ability for thoso branches. Yet the
eourso of study demandod that ho take
those subjects or quit school and tho
result was ho quit Now if this young
man had been olTorcd an oleotlvo in
tho studies which he wanted ho would
have remained in school and would
havo flttod himself for what bo had
mado up h's mind to do nnd hat he
is actually doing nt tho present timo.
What ho knows he was forced to Jearn
outsido of school. His oxporionco is
but tho experience of mnny another In
"bur community.
In ono way tho university recognizes
the need of prnctlcal training along
practical lines by establishing and on
oouragiug the Agricultural college.
Here men aro trained to bo farmers
4nd wo of the present generation havo
learned that to bo a real farmer ono
must have training Even the Japs
are learning to make two blades of
ilco grow whore ono grew boforo.
- If tho financial condition of our
Bohool district will not warrant' tho
addition of another teacher so. that a
thorough busluoss eourso can bo added
to tho system then by all moans do
away with xmough university subjects
to give us this practical course.
In this connection wo wbh to say
thot wo havo no fault to find with the
teacher for sho has her work planned
for her and bho must advance tho
p plls to tho certain btaudard sot oi
bo lu duueor of giving up her place to
no who will do tho required work.
The VolDi) Bill
Known .is Semite Filo No. JOO, al
though revised sinco our first criticism
of tho measure lu these columns, is
still ii makeshift in so far as oifcriug
protection to depositors. Wo bopo
our legislature will carry out the de
mands of the voting public and give
us a bill that will contain a
guaranty" feature that will
somothiug
The "Depositors Protectlvo Fund" is
by the terms of this bill authorized to
oxlst It Is not compulsory upon any
bank to subscribe. Private banks,
partnership banks and linns doing n
banking business aro "prohibited"
from membership. Incorporated banks
that ineot certain requirements aro
"allowed" to subscribe. Such banks
must at least havo live diiectors, and
each one shall own at least ten slimes
of Its stock. (The par value of, tho
shares is iminatetlnl )
What tho people demand Is protect
ion for tho depositors in each and every
bank that receives u charter from the
stato authorizing it to receive thoir
deposits. The people want to know
that when they doposit their earnings
lu a place called a "Hank,"' wherein is
displayed a charter from tho stato of
Nobraska. that their money is safe.
U hen they know this, there will be
plenty of money In tho banks at all
times. Tho bankers as well us deposit
ors Will profit by such a law.
It Is not improbable that under n law
such as Semite File No. 100. there
would bo no banks whatever willing
to mako tho start toward building up
a "Depositors Protective Fund." And
even if they did subscribe they have
the prlvlligo of withdrawing their
membership at any time. And if a
bank which is a subscriber to "The
Depositors Protective Fund" is u llttlo
shaky and the depositors in danger tho
stato has authority to "demand" Its
withdrawal and what tin n?
We wonder If Nebraska, tho home
of the groat Commoner who mado his
last great raco upon this issue, will al
low hor neighboring republican states
of Iowa and Kansas to put her to
shame; to place upon their statutes
laws in confo tnlty with Democratic
ideals, while she, Nebraska, stauds
idly by and contents herself with n
mako-bellevef
Wo havo not examlnel tho Wilson
"House" bill but understand n joint
commit! co from the Senate and House
aro preparing ti now bill embodying
tho good features of both tho Volpp
and Wilson bills, which will bo consti
tutional and give us what tho peoplo
demand. This bill will bo introduced
this week.
UTiffapcctf flio books of bnn1c9"atitl
building and loan associations for the
purpose of ascertaining who hns money
oti deposit and how much tlioy have.
A comparatively small per cent of the
money in banks is assessed under tho
prosent system, fut with this proposed
law lu force there would not be much
that would csenpo.
Tho committee on railroads in tho
senate hns reported favorably on u bill
to prevent drinking Intoxicating liq
uors on trains. Tho bill, it booms,
lias a good show of becoming ii law.
Another measure which has been
passed by the senate designates tho
governor as tho ofUcial to have charge
of tho publication of contitutionnl
amendments. It will bo rcmomborcd
that a few years age qulto a furor wns
created bcaaiisojr wactbcllovcd tho so-
CTcuiry'or sruo unu uoiaycu mo puo
licntioli of amendments for the delib
erate purpose- of defeating them in tho
Courts In the evout tho people should
haveudoptid them. It will also bo
remembered that when that secretary
of stato O3ino up for re-nomlnntion ho
was defontcd in the convention. Orig
inally the governor had charge of the
publication of these amendments but
on ono occasion when thero was n
fusion governor nnd n ropublicau leg
islature tho law wns changed so that a
republican secretary of state could
throw them to his party newspapors.
The legislator has now blmply placed
control over them back whero It was
orglually.
Tho bill by Representative Sink or
Hall county providing for nino foot
sheets seems some what ridiculous to
to thoes who are not familiar with
the conditions which worn ibo cause
for Us introduction, but practically
every man, or woman, who is in tho
habit of btoplng at hotels is in favor
of it. Whilo the linen on beds in all
tho better hotels is usually changed
daily, yet tho quilts, comforts and
blankets remain until they are prac
tically worn out. Uy the use of tho
long sheet the top of it may be turned
back over tho cuds of the quilt, etc., It
is argued, that havo been coming in
coming in contact with humanity for
tlio bed bugs only know how long
and as a result future guests protected
from the germs with which the boding
may be Infected. A similar bill was
first adopted in Texas but it has been
gradually working its way north, hav
ing beou adopted in Oklahoma and
Kansas since Texas first tool; action
on it.
One of tho most eloquent speakers in
either branch of the legislature is the
brilliant young Senator . I. A. Donahue
or O'Neill. Ho Isn't in tho habit of
speaking eviry timo something is up,
but when ho does speak people through
out the corridors ami committee rooms
are attracted to tho senate chamber
by his eloquoneo, and ho receives tlio
closest attention throughout.

There havo boon several bank guar
antee bills introduced in tho two
houses, but in order to get up one that
will moot all tlio requirements a sub
commltteo has been appointed by the
two(commlttocs on banking, and Judge
I. 1.. Albert of Columbus has been
employed to assls. tho committoo in

tho proccduro which It was expected

JM BNJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary Cnrthartlcs nnd Pills and
Harsh Physics Cause Distressing
Complaints,
Yon cannot bo over careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only .the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever bo given. Ordinal, y pill",
cathartics and ourgatives are too apt
to do more harm than good. They
cause griping, naufcoa and other dis
tressiugafter-eJVects that are frequent
ly health destroying and a life-lasting
annoyance.
Wo personally recommend and guar
antee ltexall Oderllos as tho safest and
most dependable remedy for consti
pation and associate bowel disordorp.
Wo have such absolute faith in the
supremo virtues of this remedy that
we sell It on our giuiMiiiteo of money
back in every instance where It fails
to give entire satisfaction, nnd we urge
all in need of such medicine to try it
at our risk.
Hexall Orderlies contain aa entirely
new ingredient which Is odorless, taste
less and colorless. It embraces all tlio
best qualities of tho soothing, laxative,
strengthening nnd healing rcmcdlcal
activo principles of tho best kuown
intestinal regulator tonics.
ltexall Oderllcs iirooxtromoly pleas
ant to tnke, aro particulary prompt
and agreeable In action, may bo talcon
at any time, day or night; do not cnuso
diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive
looseness, or other undcsirablo effects.
They havo a vcrv natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
como in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon tho relax, dry
muscular cnat of tho bowels, remove
irritation, dryness and soreness, over
como weakness, and tone and strength
en tho nerves and muscles, andrcstoro
the bowels and . associate organs to
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Itcxall Orderlies not only cure con
stipation, but they removo the causo
of this allmont. (They-also overcome
tho necessity of constantly taking
laxatives to kcopthe bowels in normal
.condition.
There Is really no similar medlclno
so good as Rexall Orderlies, especially
for children, ngod und delicate persons,
They arc prepared In tablet form and
in two sizes of packages; 12 tublcts,
