That a groat nal ion-wide crop next year will give us tho largest trade balance wo have over known is un doubtedly true mid yet, with having to lltiiinco all our monetary needs at homo from this time on anil buying buck miPioiis of foreign owned secur ities, tho fufiiro at best is precarious. However, tho heaviest strain of all will come when tho war ceases anil when Knropo begins to rebuild tho hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property which has been destroyed lor tills period Is certain to force tho highest, interest rates the world has over known, and if at that time American railroad secuiitlos are not earning a fair return upon I ho In vestment, nothing can ptovenl them from going into the llniinelul scrap heap anil it is to prepare for this omorironov- to keen railroad secnii ties linn becoming a point of national weakness, which vill bring the whole tomplo of American investments tum bling down over our heads to pro loot tho hit nd red -I-of banks, life and llto Insurnn -o eoinpnntL's, etc., whoso H'sots nro largely Invested In railroad 'bonds lis well us tho railroads thotn- selve.s.-thls is the fivir which Is grip plug him Irods of nnHiieiotv, ami stn tleiits of economic conditions In the niesciit hour men, many of whom herolofoie hnve Hover seriously con cerned t'.ioins,-lvo3 over tlio I roubles of American railio.uls.

And have not tlio railroads plajoil a tremendous pint In these advancing land values in the past, and will they not also have much to do with tho value which will be lidded from this time forward? Have not tho interests of the furiiioi- and tho railroads always goi.o hand in hind in this great Western country?

Splendid as bss t) on our progress iu the past, Nebraska today stands mere ly on tho threshold of her truedosliny Wo have ample room for thousands of additional tillers ol the soil. So, too, our splendid inland towns and cities plead for factories in order that we may ourselves produce much of tho fin ished merchandise for which our peo nlc spend millions of dollars an nually. Again, we still need hundreds of miles of new railroad mileage be fore we shall be able to make tho most of our agricultural and commercial possibilities and the millions neces sary for tlio construction of these fac tories aiuf theso added transportation facilities will not bo forthcoming un less wo treat fairly the millions al ready invested within our midst. No state can riso higher than Its people The state is what its people muke it. Wo arc nil dependent upon each other. The welfare of tho town and The surrounding farms depends upon a spirit of kindly co-operation between those who live in town and those who live upon tho farm, With out splendid HI tic inland towns we would have u rural atmosphere which would drive every bright country boy tin I girl to tho cities while without Ihe. fartiis tho towns would wit her anil die. Kven so it is with oiirgreal until motiwcultlr as a who'c a common wealth which for its o.mi sake and for tlio suko of the great nation of which it. is a part hou.'d contribute its full share to tho "Now Duj" to which so beautifully a day fraught tlio President, referred In recent address with n broader understanding nnd ins tioc for every man or Intoiost, whether grout or small.
