column of all the states In literacy,
and the state has a larger foreign pop
ulation than many others. There are
fewer people to the thousand in Ne
braska wTio cannot read and write than
in any other portion of the whole world
of like extent. The general intelli
gence of the state has enabled it to
turn a barren waste into the. most
fruitful of countries, filled it with
happy homes, fine residences, large
cities, schools and churches in fifty
years. If the state had been filled with
the illiterate, these things, could never
have been done. - ,
The university furnishes the instruc
tors of high clas3 and efficiency in the
common school system cf the state,
something that is for the benefit of all
the citizens without exception, and not
a paternal favor to a few.
There is a corps of professors there
who are giving our state, not only a
national, but a world-wide reputation
a reputation of great economic value.
Among men of that character are An
drews, Ross, Howard, Bruner and
others. They are known as scholars
the whole world over, and where ever
they are known, the name of Nebraska
goe3. Let the legislature give to the
university what the patriotic, .conserva
uve men-in charge say .they need. Let
those men have the funds necessary
to go to building un this -sron t stat
Every dollar invested there under their
charge will return a hundred per cent
interest in clean cash. And in making
such apopriations there will be no. pa
lernansm, iavorltism or socialism
about it. They make men up at the
university who are not afraid of "com

Freak Legislators
The Nebraska lpsrislntnro ia mitir
AtJ uiuniu
itself a laughing stock all over the
United States on account of the freak
bills that the wise republicans are in
troducing. One of them introduced a
biil making the playing of football a
penitentiary offense. But the worst
ireaic or tne season, taking the whole
country over, is a republican Solon by
the name of McMullen of Gage county
Gage is the county where the republi
can majority is so., big that it takes
nearly a week to count it. ThiS freak
introduced a bill to regulate the prac
tice of medicine in this state. The bill
declares that everyone who practices
medicine must have a license and pass
an examination before the medical
board and declares than any person
-who shall in any manner hold himself
out to the public as being engaged
within this state in1 the diagnosis of
disease for the purpose of the public
health, and for the treatment of dis
eased or injured human beings; or "who
shall suggest, recomemnd or prescribe
' any form of treatment for the intended
palliation, relief, or sure of any physi
cal or mental ailment real or imagin
ary, or both combined, of any person
with the intention of receiving therefor
either directly or indirectly any fee,
gift, or compensation whatsoever; or
shall attach the title, of M. D., surgeon,
doctor, or any other word or abbrevia
tion to his. name indicative that such
person is engaged in the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases of human beings;
or who shall maintain an office for the
examination, diagnosis or treatment of
the diseases or injuries, either real or
imagined, or both combined .of the
body or the mind or both, of any per-
f son whomsoever, should be sent to the
penitentiary. 7
It is supposed that this mullet head
was trying to draw a bill that would
knock out the Christian Scientists, but
it is vnrv AviHotTt that nnw 5rto-nt!ct
, could come before a court, and take a
solemn oath that he never "held him
self out." Any one of this cult could
also swear that he. never prescribed
tieatment for the palliation, relief,
cure, of any 'physical or mental ail
ment, real or imaginary. He would
ppduce his "text book" and read pass
age after- passage o prove that the idea
of disease was a "mcrtal error" and did
not exist and therefore he could not
have attempted to "cure" it. McMul
lin takes no interest in excessive taxa
tion, rebates and extortionate freight
rates or an increasing state debt, but
he is devoting his mighty genius to the
destruction of a religious body of peo
ple, who are only a little in advance of
the best physicians in their theories
about the curative property of drugs,
with a few heretofore unheard of ideas
attached to the orthodox Christian
doctrines.
Perhaps McMullen has heard some of
those Christian Scientists talking
about the unreality of matter and real
ly came to the conclusion that a Scien
tist was so spiritual that he thought
he could "hold himself out," and there
fore it was a kindly thing to introduce
a bill to prevent the Scientist from at
tempting to perform such a dangerous
eat. And then that scientist was not
only going to hold himself out," but
ho was going to do it "for the purpose
of the public health." Every person
who read3 that will agree that some
body certainly ought to be sent to the
penitentiary. -
The Honest Millionaire
It is often asked: Can a man hon
estly make a million dollars during a
lifetime? If by "honest making" it is
meant, a fair, profit on goods sold on
fair payment for services rendered, the
question must certainly be answered in
the negative. But a man may make
some invention, which going into gen
eral use, the inventor having a monop
oly, may. under our laws, acquire much
more than a million. A man may dis
cover a mine, and again under our
laws become "honestly" a multi-mil
lionaire. In several other ways a mil
lion dollars or more could be "made
honestly," but it will be seen in all
such cases that the laws give the man
a monopoly. It does not seem to be
possible for any man to accumulate in
an ordinary life time a million dollars,
unless he does it by means of a monop
oly. It is by means of a monopoly in some
form that the big fortunes have all
been accumulated . Some of these
monopolies ar3 legal, such as a patent
right, and therefore can be called hon
est,' but the great majority of them are
illegal and therefore dishonest. In no
instance has any man accumulated a
million dollars where there has been
competition in every part of the busi
ness. In the case of a man becoming
a multi-millionaire by the rise in real
estate, as the Astore have, there wa3 a
monpolization of 'land in a. place
where there was a great demand, and
competition could not enter.
. Let the means by which any of the
great fortunes of - the United States
have been accumulated be critically ex
amined "and it will be found that the
accumulating force was the destruction
of monopoly.
. Take, the Vanderbilfc fortune It was
accumulated by the monopoly of the
right of way for a transportation sys
tem. , So with every railroad fortune
in the whole United States. There
could be no competition with a rail
road. The McCormaclc fortune and
hundreds of others were built up by
patent right monopolies. The object of
a patent right-is to exclude competi
tion. Many great -fortunes have been ac
cumulated by a monopoly of money.
The laws of the United States make it
a penitentiary offence to try to compete
in the making of money. The man
who does it. is a counterfeiter. By law
the United States national "banker
have been permitted to have a monop
oly of making money. If any other
person attempted to make money in
competition with them he was sent to
serve a long term in the penitentiary.
The J. Pierpont Morgan fortune was
certainly accumulated in a dishonest
way. His great start was given him
by Grover Cleveland in a traitorous
contract whereby Morgan was permit
ted to buy , millions of United States'
