BOOTLEGGING AND CRIME.
bootlegging like smuggling and a
variety of other occupations, is a
v 11 crime It is the law prohibiting
the tiling that marks it a misdemean
or. because of this many think i*
perfectly consistent and in no sense
wrong to engage in these disrepu
table lines of work, provided you can
lu ep out of the hands of the law
From their way of looking at it, the*
wrong does not consist In selling bud
whiskey without a permit, but the
cm lies in getting eattghl ai it

Boosting new industries ia a two
sided proposition. There are phases
of progress and growth that arc
not always to lie desired. In other
words a town may tie the poo i t i for
having added a new industry, The
coming to a town of a new factory
means more to the town than bring
ing In.of a number of new families
and a larger home consumption it
has a moral significant e This is
thiefly determined by the eharaeter
of people employed. Kails City has
been fortunate in this respect Rail
roads insist upon tlieir men being
efficient and dependable. T his re
quires them to live clean and sober
lives. Intoxicants are practically
forbidden, as are gambling and idle
loafing, even the use of tobacco is
being discouraged \s a result rail
•road employers are coming to repre
sent it high class of labor. \Y1ut
ever they go they will add strength
to the cause of decency and right
And any town will he the better he
cause of their presence,

A sewerage ami a strictly hygieie
water system costs motley also. Too

grave diggers charges and even tin
tombstone agents claims

It costs money to pave streets amt

really good things and things worth

Jim Dahlman and his ilk is an old

The moral fight now on in Vmer
ica is a very real one, and many
of the tactics resorted to are war
measures. That some of these meas
ures should entail more or less hard
ship is inevitable.
• * *
War measures are necessarily more
* or less arbitrary, and imposes limi
tations and restrictions upon the peo
ple, which under normal conditions
would not be tolerated.

No amount of juggling with figures

CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

commission men and wholesalers, and
similar dealers In other large cities,
who during the last few months have
dumped into holes in the ground in
out of the wav places carloads of
good potatoes, cabbage and other
foodstuff Just to keep down the
supply and maintain stiff prices. It"
i ently such Incidents have been re
ported time and again, and authenti
cally, too.
With all the misery and suffering
and want in the world, the destruc
tion of food in such a manner is a
crime of which ll is hardly possible
to believe than any human would be
guilty. The scriptural prophecies of
,intonation for those who, having
wealth, know not how to me it or
have gained it by oppression of the
suffering, were never more applic
able than now.

HAYWARD FOR CONGRESS.
What Others Say of William Hay

of file older horses, bill there is a
mighty lot of republicans in N'cbras

William Hayward lias announced
himself as candidate for representa
tive from the first district, if the
republicans so wish it. Mr. Hayward
Is an Otoe county product and t
young man of rare ability. We have
previously expressed our opinion hi
regard to Mr Hayward trying for
congress and will stay by him to
the end Palmyra Items. *
The Journal would like to see Will
Hayward announce himself a candi
date for congress. Ho seems’ to us
to tie the man best fitted to re
deem the district.
Later We are pleased to note
that Judge Hayward, in Thursday’s
State Journal, declared his candidacy
for the nomination of congressman
from (ids district. Will will make a
strong race and we believe lie will
win out Syracuse Journal.
A New Richmond in The Field.
William Hayward, secretary of the
republican national committee and
state chairman, has entered the con
gressional race in the first district.
In the field already are Former Con
gressman Pollard, who believes that
he lost two years ago through fluke,
and George K Toby, for a number
of years private secretary to Sena
tor lUirkett. Mr. Hayward's standing,
liis personal popularity and the pos
! session of qualifications that cannot
1 lie denied, will make his camlidacv
I formidable. He takes strong ground
, against Cannon and fannonisni as
j represented in the rules, and asserts
liis opposition to ship subsidy, which
was championed by Mr. Pollard. No
mention is made of the temperance
question in tin platform put out by
Mr. Hayward, but he lias quite gen
erally been regarded as a iounty
optionist Lincoln News

City, Neb My Dear Hayward I be
lieve that if you enter the congros
sioal race you can be nominated, and
elected. Many Grand Army men and
other friends of your father’s have
urged your candidacy. The young

you as state chairman, those of us
who remember your unselfish and
square, conduct at tho Falls city
convention when so near a nomination,

FIGHT FOR A SALOONLESS CITY.
Lincoln Temperance People Are Now
Ready For Activity.
The city campaign is now ready
for active work, so far as the tem
perance committee is concerned. The
i organization has been math.1 com
plete by the selection of John H.
Mockett, Jr., as secretary in charge
of the detail work Mr. Mockett will
| organize the working force thin week,
and commence to superintend a
thorough poll of the city.
Reports come in of good work by
the finance committee, and it. is be
lieved that the money will he twice
as easy to raise this year as it was
last, when the committee failed to
produce enough to clean up the bills.
Those who talk c,f tin1 prcbability
of tile city going back to saloons
•ail to take into consideration the fact
that while last year there was jus'
one newspaper in the city support
ing the temperance cause, this year
there will be just on.* paper support
ing tin* saloon side. The change in
newspaper sentiment lias been more
radical than in any other direction.
Tin* indications now are that the
saloon adherents will maintain a
* vstem of debauchery from now on
until election day This paper pre
dicted a month tigo that such would
he tin* scheme, and that lhiuor bills
and tin* police court fines would lie
paid out of the rani paid) hoodie fund,
in order to give the city a bud repu
lation.
This era nf free booze has alreailv
been inaugurated i iareputable elm '
act era are fllh d up with liquor and
turned out upon the streets, itt
order that tin y may he arrested. It
is believed that dissolute wfflHteii
are to lie imported into town to
add to the reign of debauchery, and
the police department will have u
he on the alert to counteract the
fiendish scheme
Chief ot police Malone, in an inter
view a few days ago, said in regard
to tills:
"It's a ease of the brewers get
ting in their work, and they may
think that they are fooling some
of the people, but they are not pm
ting it mer me for an instant 1 can
boo through tln ir game and know
their object. Free booze is being
dished out to people of Lincoln so
thill they will he picked up here
while full The Havelock saloon
keepers are backed by the brewers
and when manufacturers of booze
say, 'dish it out.’ you can bet that
whiskey will flow as free as water.
There are a lot of professional boo/. >
fighters who can hi used in their
game and the object is to swell
the police register with drunks so
'hat they can cry out that prohibition
in Lincoln has been it failure. The
poor devils who are taking the booze
X
don’t know that they are being over
hauled for a purpose and gulp the
tuff down in! fast as it is dished
out to them. The rial test lias been
gone through and Lincoln 1ms been
a clean city under the dry adminis
tration. The brewers will try to
make people think otherwise. I cer
tainly would hate to see the town go
wet again, and I don't believe that
it will wlien people understand the
true situation." State Capital.
MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond
ent at Kansas City.
Kansas City Stock Yards, Febru
ary 28, 1!)10—The cattle market re
ceived another substantial uplift
last week, values closing 10
to 25 higher for the week. The sup
ply was 34,300 head, about the same
as iu recent weeks, and the strong
and reliable demand that was in
evidence ail wi ek indicates a sound
footing. The extreme high prices of
hoes and sheep makes beef, even
al present prices, about the cheapest,
meat on the market, thereby broad
ening the outlet. The supply to
day is 13,000 head, largest run on
Monday for several weeks, but the
market is fully able to cope with it,
and prices are steady to 10 higher
on killing grades, steady to a shade
lower on stockers and feeders.
Top on native fed steers today is
>7.4p. although strictiy prime steers
might reach $7.75 if they were nvail
, able here today.
Hogs advanced rapidly the first half
< f last week, making a net gain of
■ v cents for the week. The last
four weeks have eacli netted a good
gain, the total advance for the month
of February being i lose to $1.10
pei cwt. The run today is n.OrtO
head, and prices are 10 to 15 higher,
top $0 tin, bulk $n,25 to $11.55, light
hogs $3.15 to $0.45. Eastern order
buyers have Imn a good support
i to the market for some time. and
though packers have repeatedly trie l
their strength against salesmen, the
latter have held the balance of power
right along. Receipts are a third
smaller than a year ago, since tli *
first of the year, at the combined
markets, and only half as large as
two years ago for the same period,
legitimate reasons why prices should
he twice as high as two years ago at
i this time. J. a. RICKART,

bigness to go to Lincoln if possibi".
Quite a number have paid the fe 1

The Ideal Life.
We an* like to him with whom there
is no past and future, when we live
with large, bright, spiritual eyes, do

leaving both past and future to him
to whom they are ever present, and
fearing nothing because he Is in our
future as much as he is in our past—
partakers thus of the divine nature
resting in that perfect all in all.—

How Did He Know?
An ancient Kgyptian moralist, writ

any of her women friends; she will
be doubly bound to thee if the tie is
sweet to her—accord her what pleases
her—she will appreciate the effort.”
