The Need For Clean Men.
If one were to go to the presi ,
dent of the United States ant
ask him to name the country'
greatest neecT he would reply it
quick , conclusive way , "Clear
men. " He knows. Smart mer
there are by thousands ; rich mer
abound more than in an.r ethel
age of the world ; able men are
found in every state and township -
ship , but even from a population
of eighty miltions the chief
executive has difiiculty in finding
the man of exceptionnl character
for a post which requires a
square and Hawless morality ,
sa's the June Delineator. It is
to his credit that he misses no
opportunity to preach clean man.
hood. But nc ther presidents
nor preacher nor teachers can do
the work of fathers except in
their own familes. We do not
: mean to understimate the marvelous - I I
ous inHuence of the mother. In
most lands , men who reach
succcss give their mothers the
credit , "All that I am I owe to
m ) ' mother , " said T4incoln. "It
was you who taught me to write
so. You reall ) ' did , dear motherlI
said the crabbed Carlyle. We. .
get our moral qualities from our
fathers , say the ph'siologists ,
and as we look back we find this
maternal afTectiun the loviest
thing on eartb. llut isn't there
a conviction down deep in our
souls that we should have done
much better if our fathers had
taken ti me and trouble to share
our confidences in the years that
counted most ?

Future Of Sund HilI. Sure.
, Judge John Reese receiver of
the land omce at llrokell Dow ,
was ill Omaha 'l'hur day , sum-
monc.d as a witness before the
! federal grand jury in some of the
land fencing and fraudulant land
filing cases.
" 1 do not subscribe to the doctrine -
trine that the public land in the
cattle country comprises a series
of barren sand hills , as is so often
asserted by t.he cattlemen and
others who desire to monopolize
the lands for there private use , "
said he. "As a matter of fact ,
more filings were made on these
lands in our district during tbe
month of April just passed than
in anyone month for several
years. These filings are usually
made under the Kinkaid act for
wl ole sections by bona fide set.
tlers. It bas been discovered in
recent years that seeding these
lands down to brome grass bas
had a beneficial effect. A fine
od is now appearing all tbrough
that country.
"For actual agricultural purposes -
poses there are doubtless many
drawbacks but for . -
! gra7. ng purposes
poses , even for small cattle
raisers ! they are excellent.
Water can be found in abundance
in anyone of the valleys at from
40 to 100 feet , and on the high
lands they seldom have to go
deeper than 200 feet. With the
introduction of brome grass , and
the faculitv of obtaining water
at easy liepths. the future of the
sand hill country is settled.
Instead of the attle business
being ruined by the land investigations -
gations and consequent restoration -
ation of the public domain to
actual settlers , I take it that the
cattle business is on the eve of
its greatest and continued pros-
peri ty.Omaha llee.
