In his fight to block the government -
ment plans for irrigating a big
slice of Scott's Bluff county , Mr.
Leavitt had the co-opcration of
some of the most potent railroad
politicians in Ncbraska , and yet
the state board turned down his
application by an unanimous
vote. This is worth mentioning
because so many people jumped
to the conclusion before the hear-
in'g ' that Mr. Leavitt had influence -
fluence enough to jam his ap _
Plication through the statc' ,
They figured it out that the members -
bers of the board would be afraid
of the big politicians and would
vote to give them a boost. In
this case , as in a gopd many
others , the potency of the railroad
pull , has been immensely over.

appeal was to the individual oj

man , for on hts shoulders rests , j
well nigh unparalleled socialogi

much of it as concerns dealing
with men of different color ! ! , we
must remclUbe . two things :
In the first place , it 19 true of
the colored man , as it is tlue : of
the white man , that in the long
run his fate must depend far more
upon his own effort than upon
the efforts of any outside friend.
Every vicious , venal , or 19norant
colored man is an even grea.ter
foe to his own race than to tbe
communitl as a whole. 'rhe col-
ored man s self-respect entitles
him td do that share in the polit-
ical work of the country wh1ch i ! !
I
warranted by his individual ability - I
! ity and integritYlnd ! th position. .
be has won for Illtt1Se1f. But the :
I
prime requisite of the race is
moral and industrial uplifting.
"Laziness and shiftless , these ,
and above n11 , vice and criminality -
ity of every kind , are evils more
poteht for harm to the black race
tban all acts of oppression of
white men put together. The
colored man who fails to condemn
crime in another colored man ,
who fails to co. operate in all law-
f rways in bringing colored criminal -
inal to justice , is the worst enemy
of his own people. Law-abiding
blac1e men should , for the sake of
their race , be foremost in relentless -
less and unceasing war-fare
ag inst law-brealdng black men.
If the standards of private morality -
ity and industrial efficiency can
be raised high enough among
the black race , then its future on
tbis continent is secure. The
stability and purity of the home
is vital to the welfare of the
black race , as it is to the wel1are
of every race.

It developes that theanti-pnss
and reduced passenger rate bill
introduced in the legislature ,
which Berge claimed to be the ,
author was the bill ofV. . J.
Harmona republican of S unders
county , Mr. Harmon had drafted
the bill , but it was not entirely
satisfactory to him and he took
the editor of the Lincoln Herald
into his confidence who rt'com-
mended Berge as a lawyer capable
of putting it in just the shape tl1e
author wanted it. Mr. Harmon
was introduced to Mr. Berge and
arrangements wete made for him
to redraft the bill on the lines
suggested by Mr. Harmon , this
Mr. Berge did , but before Mr.
Harmon introduced it Berge got
himself interviewed and claimed
the au horship of the bill , Mr.
Harmon is a large farmer of
Saunders county and is now serving -
ing his second term in the legis-
lature.

Special Correepondellt-
The legislature adjourned Friday -
day nntil Monday afternoon.
Many f the membere who went ,
to their homes were und.ble to return -
turn for the Monday session on
account of belated .trains. I
Th'e Sheldon bill to levy an annual -
nual tax of 2 mills to pay the
state indebtedness of $2,000,000 ,
was amended by making the levy
one mill , and advanced for third
read1ngas amended. 'l'he author
of the bJll , in defending his measure -
ure for a 2 mill levy , said that
this levy would payoff the state
indebtedness in four years. 'l'he
bill as amended will payoff the
debt in nine years. The bill will
probably pass the senattt this
week.
A bill by Senator Laverty providing -
viding for the election of- precinct -
cinct assessors was defeated in
" - - - . - - - - - - - - -
the senate by two votes , The
friends of the bill made a strong
fight for its passage , but the opposition -
position succeeded in defeating it
by a small margin. A few senators -
tors who did not wish to go on
record as being for oragaiust the
bill , quietly left the Senate
Chamber.rrhis did not escape
tbc notice of Senator FrIes , one
of tbe leaders in favor of the bill ,
who ins1sted that the absentees
be sent for. The presidcnt of I
the senate instructed the ser- i
, geant-at-arms to go in search of
the missing senators. 'l'he bill
was defe < l.ted by a vote of 14 to 16.
The opposition to the bill claimed -
ed that the appointive system of
local assessors was one of the I
strong features of the new revenue - I
ue law ; that the elective assessors
would favor their constituents in
the hope of being re-elected , and
in. doing so the valuation of the
state would SOOI1 go back to where
it was before the new law was
enacted. Senator Fries believed

S. F. No. 59 , hy Di1l1cry , of

the industrial home for women at
Milford , has passed the Semite.
In favoring'lhe consolidation of
the two homcs and rcmong the
inmates of the Lincoln Home to
1ilford , senator Aaron \Vall made '
a brief but c10quent speech.
Senator 'Vall has rare talents as
beautifully c1 thed in choice lan-
guage. The bill received the almost -
most unanimous rote of the
Senate.
At a joint meetiug' of the 1' ,
House and Sena te committees , ! "
the bill introduced maldng it un-
la wful and fixing a penaly for the
violation of the same , to keep in
constant service an ) ' railroad employee -
ployee longer than 12 hours and
without rest , was reported for in. .
