LINCOLN LETTER
While the mothers are holding con
ventions for the betterment of tho
homo we venture to suggest that fath
ers would do well to emulate the ex
ample and consider in what maimer
they might exert moro forco in tho
training of their children ami not
leavo it all for the overworked mother.
Many fathers think that when thoy
Imve, provided enough to eat and to
wear their responsibility ceases. Wo
have in mind one father whose son
asked him for a dime to go to a show
and the father freely gavo tho boy the
money and evldontly believed himself
to be a first class father. But he did
not inquire what kind of a show it
was which the boy wanted to soo. It
might have been highly objectionable
yet tho father mado no attempt to in
form himself of Itsnature. Indulgent
parents aro not the wisest mid yet
wo doubt not that they often wondor
in future years why their children
iavo brought reproach to tho family
name. Fathers should not refuse to
assumo tho responsibility of parent-hood.
Moro than passing notice should bo
given to the mother's meeting held In
ino scuooi uouse last wonic. Tlio pro
per training of ehlldron is a problom
dlfllcult of solution even for tho most
loarncd and oxporlonced, so that a
meeting of this character gives an ex
cellent opportunity for parents to ex
change ideas and plans, which thoy
have learned in tholr own families.
Tho ladies have not boon content to
use only such things as they themsel
ves have experienced but they havo
also secured tho vory best thoughts
and plans from the most prominent
educators, dootors and social workers
of the cntlro world The1 Chief is
pleased to know that these meetings
Lincoln, Neb,, March. .10-(Special
Correspondence) Kopubllcan news
papers havo been unable to point to
ono single law placed on the statute
book by this legislature than any
farilt can bo found with. This is tho
serious trouble with these fellows.
This Isevldoncod by tho fact that tho
Omaha lice a few days ago attempted
to twit tho legislature because thoy
had not passed an auti-injunctlon
measure, when every thinking person
knows (hat this is not of consequence
so far as tho stale government U con
cerned. Our republican brethren are
pretty hard up for thunder when they
resurl to inconsequential matters of
thin kind. The law makors havo ful
filled ovory pledge made to tho people
and I ho record will bear the closest
Investigation.
(itivornor fjhiilleiibcrgur has vetoed
tho bill which would havo permitted
tho licensing of a saloon at Fort Crook.
There has been a wide dilVereneo of
opinion a lo the merits of this moils
un1, and many of tho legislators voted
for.lt because of tho fact that tho
colonel in command of the fort favored
it. Tho governor's action in refusing
his sanction to tho law is being gcu
orally commended.
The passago of tho new oil law is
ono of .tho best things done by this
legislature. This bill was prepared
and introduced after consultation with
tho stato oil inspector and his depart
ment. Heretofore under the old law
Kansas oil has been excluded from
this slate and this fact lias rebounded
to the Interest of tho Standard OH
people. Tho now law admits this oil
and it is conceded now that tho meas
ure will save to tho people of this stato
a quarter of a million dollars the first
year. Several changes havo been
mado Under the old systom oil was
Inspected only with inference to Its
iullammabllity and without reforctico
to its quality. A good deal of com
plaint has boon heard about this.
Koroseno oil has been placed upon tho
market that stood the flash tost, but
admittedly of the poorest grado. It
will now be ono of the duties of tho oil
Inspectors ofllco to test oil both as to
its quality and tlammablllty. Consid
erable credit is duo to Inspector Mul
len for tho consummation of efforts
that should havo been mado Into law
years ago.
Tho Ollls warehouse law bill has
passed both branches of tholegisloturo
and will bo the law. This is u measure
of far reaching importance, and is one
of the wisest laws placed upon tho
statute boohs It provides for tho es
tablishment of warehouses in tho state
for the storago of grain. Certificates
will bo Issued by these bonded ware
houses and these will at once becomo
negotiable It is concedod that tho
prico of grain in tills stato has always
been poundod down by manipulators
of tho maihet just at the time that the
great bulk of It was ready for tho nlar
kot. Thero is always a class of fellows
who havo to sell and thus prevent any
organized opposlt'on to cutting down
tho price. This now law will prevent
nil this. Grain mnv bo stored nt vnrx-
little cost and hold until prices adjust
themselves, and the man who stores it
can realize upon his certificates, thus
preventing the necessity of soiling at
any price that may bo offered. Sovcr
al of tho southern states havo enacted
tills principle into law and thereby
enabled tho cottou raisors to resist tho
efforts of tho cotton manipulators to
got tho commodity at tholr own price.
For thellrht timo in the history of
tho stato a lawjluis been passed fixing
the salary of tho clerk of tho supremo
court and his assistants. Nobody
knows howlhigli the rcvonues of this
ofllco havo run, but It is known that
they havo been enormous, and that
this ofllco was ono of the juciest from
a iinanciai standpoint In the state. It
is generally concedod that tho enact
ment of the now law will inoreaso tho
rovenucs of the stato at least $10,000
eacli year, enough to pay off lu six
years the accumulated wolf bounty
claims. The old method of running
this ofllco is u rclio of tho spotles sys
tem of politics, and tho legislature ia
to bo commendod for Its reform In this
direction.
Another bill passed by tho law
makors at Lincoln is ono that will re
ceive tho ondorsomont of ovory right
thluklng.eltlzon. This ia tho law that
prevents tho collection of campaign
contributions from ofllco holders. It
nas been tho custom in the past for
tho commlttco in charge of the cam
paign to assess every holder of repub
lican procuvitlos. l'ostmnstors, rovc
nuo officers, court roportors, every
body that drew a salary, was notified
to oomo across with tho sum named
by the oommtttoo or run tho risk of
I
having his polilhul head dieapilatid.
Under the wlo provision of tho new
law tills will be prevented ami heavy
penalties exacted from ofrvndors
(inventor Shalleubeiger sent n --pc
in I message lo tho legislature request
ing tho pasHiigu of it bill with which ho
accompanied his message providing
that public service corporal ions shall
bounder the control of tho lallroad
commission and that they shall not be
permitted fo Issuo new notes, bonds j
or stocks without the permission of tho '
commission after an iiivesliiriilton bv I
that body, and then only when the
now Issuo is for money needed in Im
provntents. Tho governor lias takeil
an advanced stand on all questions re
luting to the control of corporations,
hi his speech at the llryan banquet
and again in his message to tho legis
lature enclosing tho now bill ho vigor
ously demanded tho passago of tho bill
providing for tho physical valuation of
railroads, lie contends that It is the
only proper method upon which . to
base rates. With reference to tho law
asked for by him ho says that no reas
onable mind can object to tho pnssago I
of the law, and that no corporation
wishing to do business on tho square j
could find fault with its provisions. '
it has been tho custom In the past for I
public servico corporations to issuo i
stocks and bonds largely in excess of
the value of tholr property, thus coin-1
polling tho payment of exorbitant j
rates in order to pay intorest on these
ootids, and at ino same tlmo deceiving
tho investing public. Under the "pro
posed law I ho public would bo pro
tected in tho purchase of stocks and
bonds bfceauso the sanction of the rail
way commission had been given, and
tho law making power would know
tho oxaot valuation of corporations
when thoy attempted to llxMates.
The governor has signed Mr. Kohl's
bill which provides that the stato con
ventions shall bo held the last wool: in
.luly, so as to havo the platforms,
adopted prior to the primary.
The bill requiring thatall campaign
contributions inns' bo published before
tho election has passed both branches
of tho legislature and Is now tho law.
As an uvifionco of tho manner in
which business is expedited by tho
men in oitargo of the records in both
branches of tho legislature it might bo
mentioned that on Wednesday Gover
nor Slmllonborgcr's bill preventing
tho issuance of stocks and bonds by
corporations without the permission of
the railway commission was Intro
duced lu the houso and read the first
tlmo. On Thursday It was read the
socond tlmo, engrossed and passed on
Friday. Undor the old system this
legislature would have probably ad
journed before tho bill got bock from
tho printer.
Tho houso has passed the bill pro
viding for the appointment of a beer
inspector, whoso duties will be tho in
spection of all boor mado In tho stato
The cost of this falls upon tho brew
ers and It is admitted that the lawn-Ill

stato treasury about 8150,000 per year.

The Difference.
What Is tho dliicrouco between high
grado and low grado baking powders?
All baking powders aro whlto and
aro sold in round cans with bright
labels. Thoy look alike, but in con
tents thoy aro vory different.
High grade baking powders aro
made of pure cream of tartor derived
grades. Thoy are healthful and eco
nomical to uso.
Low-grado baking powdors aro mado
of alum an astringent mineral aoid.
Doforo tho pure food law only a
chomlst could toll by analysis ono from
tho other.
But now baking powders havo tho
iugrodionts printed on tho back of tho
label. By reading tho label the house
keeper knows the Ingredlbnts and bo
lug careful of tho wolfuro of her
household, avoids the alum kind of
baking powdor.

most usoful things in tho kitchen aud

MICROBES IN THE IHIR
The latest Explanation Is That Microbes
Cause Baldness.
Professor Uiina of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand of Paris,
France, share tlio honor of having
discovered tho hair microbes.
Baldness is not caused through a
few week's woik of these hair mic
robes, but Is tho result of conditions
brought about by tholr prosenco.
mildness may nat occur until yeais
after the microbes began work, but it
Is certain to como sooner or later.
Tho microbes out oir tho blood sup
ply. Thoy feed on tho fatty matter
about tho root of the hair, through
which the blood Is absorbed. Finally
tlio fatty matter is wholly consumed,
the food supply of the hair is gone aud
it starves and flnaly dies. Hcsoroln is
