No candidate for United States
senator will bo nominated this year
by the socialist party In Nebraska ,
owing to the $50 filing fee required by
the state law to secure- place on the
primary ballot under that heading.
Tim socialists choose their candidates
in advance of the primary , and names
are illed only to comply with the legal
icqniromonts for getting them on the
ballot at the November election. The
nominees are not expected to pay the
illlng fees out of their own pockets ,
but the expense Is berne by the party
treasury.
Lincoln a Healthy City.
Lincoln has had remarkably few
deaths in the past few months and
during the last year. The normal
death late Is said to be V ! 1-2 per
thousand population. According to
these figures Lincoln ought to have
812 deaths per annum. In the year
190 ! ) there were only G20 deaths , ac
cording to the statistics kept by one
of 'the local undertakers. This puts
Lincoln about 300 below the normal
mortuary record.
Lumber Rate Hearing Continued.
The State Railway commission has
postponed the hearing of the Omaha

WE MUST ADVERTISE.
Otherwise Nebraska Is Going to
Lose Out ,
JIou backward Nebraska Is In ad
vertising Its wealth and resources
was told members of the Lincoln Ad
club recently by W. A. Campbell of
Omaha , manager of the bureau ol
publicity of the Omaha Commercial
club.
club.Mr.
Mr. Campbell issued a warning
with respect on emigration from this
country to Canada saying :
An individual who does not make
the great energy of advertising In
crease his business knows himself
what ho is doing , but others don't. In
the caeo of Nebraska wo do not even
know ourselves what we are doing
except In small spots.
In the meantime Canada and "the
last best west" are taking our citizens
atid it is costing them but $1.80 per
capita to secure them , while every
migrating American farmer takes on
the average of $1,000 per capita to
Canada with him when ho moves. In
two days recently 150 farmers from
our own state and the states about
us , passed tluough St. Paul and they
had assets of nearly $200,000. The
Canadian banks showed an increase
during the month of March of nearly
$8,000,000.
'
At the rate of $1,000 per capita ,
which Is low , more than $90,000.00 of
new wealth was taken from the
states to Canada last year.
While it formerly cost Canada $8
per capita to secure these settlers , It
has decreased to less than $1.80 and
is going lower each year.
But this is not all. Practically
every state about Nebraska Is mak
ing a systematic effort to get settlers
by ad\ertislng and Intelligent work.
Wo have a letter from Governor
Hadley of Missouri who says "Tho
last session of the legislature ap
propriated $25,000 for Immigration
work , but as the appropriation was
not available , the banks of the larger
cities have contributed the amount
and the work has gone on. We also
have a bureau of labor statistics for
which $20,000 Is appropriated annual
ly. "
Then to rub It in on us Nebraskans
the governor adds : "The state also
appropriates something like $100,000
to $120,000 for the support of the
State Board of Agriculture. "
I had the pleasure of promoting the
first state conservation congress ,
then called by Governor Eberhart In
Minnesota. It was a great success as
an advertisement for the state of
Minnesota and we have Governor
Eberhart's word for It that Minnesota
secured 19.000 new settlers from
March 1 to May 1. The governor
writes , "We have $20,000 per annum
for 1910 and 1911 and there is con
siderable talk of making this $100,000
annually. " ,
If Minnesota ever appropriates
$100,000 for advevtlslng the north
trtar state , I want to go on record as
saying that over 1,000 Nebraska Irish
men will become Minnesota Swedes ,
The Police Record.
The police report for the month ot
June shows 133 arrests. Of these 119
were men and fourteen women. The
meals served to prisoners were 305
and amounted to $30.50. All of those
arrested were able to read and write.
The married men numbered 19 and
the women 5 ; unmarried men 70 ,
women ! ) .
Penalties Under Primary Law.
Voters who may regard the primary
law as something to be looked lightly
upon and who view It as a law that
can bo violated without punishment
would be surprised to llnd themselves
in jail for half a year , or in the peni
tentiary for.a term of years , or be
compelled to pay a fine of $500. These
are borne of the penalties that can be
imposed for violations of various pro
visions of the primary law. In fact
any act declaied an offense under the
general election laws concerning cau
cuses and elections shall albo In like
case he an offense in all primaries.
State pair Attractions.

UNITED STATES CONSUL IN NICA
RAGUA IN DANGER.
THE AMERICANS ARE DISLIKED
Official Madrlz Organ Is Bitter In
Its Attitude and Calls United
States Common Enemy
of the Race.
Washington. Fear exists that Ed
win W. Trimmer , United States con
sul at Cape Grades , Nicaragua , maybe
bo assaulted or even assassinated ,
wherefore it has been decided to send
the cruiser Tacoma to the port to In
vestigate and 1C conditions seem to
demand it to land marines to protect
American lives and property. This
was the report made to the state de
portment by Thomas P. Moffat , United
States consul at Blucflelds.
Two officers and forty-flve men
were ordered to Capo Graclas on the
Tacoma , this action leaving been de
cided on after a conference between
himself and Commander nines of the
Dubuque.
It was because of the continual
abuse of the governor and other of
ficials of the Madrlz government at
Capo Gracias that the fear arose for
the safety of the American consul
there. An article published in La
Naclon , an official Madriz organ pub
lished at Managua , Indicates the feel
ing In Nicaragua against Americans.
In part it reads as follows :
"We Nicaraguans have some limited
means to which we mny resort as a
final recourse If It comes to the point
that the Yankee tries to execute his
threat ; let us lay hands on all the
'North ' Americans residing in Nica
ragua and let us say to Mr. Taft : 'For
each shot you hurl against us , 'a head
of one of "your countrymen shall roll
on the ground. '
"Another of the means to which we
may resort to for revenge for so great
an injury and for this I do not be
lieve we are less able than the young
Turks let us organize , in the form ,
of a powerful coalition , an active
propaganda , to the end that in all the
Latin-American countries no goods
shall bo purchased from the United
States , making our people understand
that this Is the most efficacious meth
od of combatting the common enemy
of our race ; so proud on account of
its power ; so Insolent on account of
its pride , and so detestable on account
of its insolence. "
Iowa Executive Is Indicted.
Des Moines. Governor B. F. Carroll
has been indicted for criminal libel by
the Polk county grand jury , which re
turned the bill against the governor.
The indictment Is the outgrowth of a
lengthy investigation by the grand
jury of affairs at the Iowa Industrial
school for girls at Mitchelville. It is
alleged in the bill that the governor
made llbelous statements concerning
John Cownle , former chairman of the
state board of control , in an article
published in the Des Moines Capital
of May 24 , hiwhich the governor set
forth at length his reasons for de
manding the resignation of Mr.
Cownle.
