Senator l.orinn r may be innocent of evil intent in the matter of his election. Hut this much is certain the "interests" that got him his bit terly contested seat, and are now moving heaven and earth to keep him in it, are not innocent. A man who lias such a pull on the moneyed interests of the country may well be regarded as, a questionable prop osition. The interests of the com mon people certainly demand his re call. Money and innocence, like oil and water, do not mix. We are kinder than wo once were. There is less cruelty towards the dumb and helpless tilings about us. The efforts of the organizations for the prevention of unnecessary cruel ty are having their effect. Man’s most willing slave, the horse is enjoy tug a respite. The birds are not so generally abused as they once were. Iflven the cat and the dog are accord ed certain privileges because it is becoming recognized more and more that those humble creatures actually have feelings. And creatures with feeling claim our consideration. Nebraska City lot tiro contract for their new high school building to an Omaha concern, yesterday for $44,760 Tho cost of the heating plant and the furnishing which was given to other contractors will bring the price of the new building w< II up in $60,000. This will not be without interest to Tails City as wo also have a serious school building proli lorn before us. There is no more important work before the people ill any time, than the task of providing adequately for the education of the youth of tho community, ltefore this other business can afford to wait. Our boys and girls grow up to manhood and womanhood whether taught or not. It is for us to see that they gt t every inducement to grow wisely and well. Falls City lias, for some time been pressed for school accomodations. Tli high school building is already crowd ed. Tlio situation one year hence when the children of the shops and railroad people -apply cannot well be described In advance. The nec essity is upon us to do something be fore that time comes, that will pro vide needl’d ri lief. Why not use the Central building as a ward school and build a new high school in n more central location. With the center of population moving rapidly toward the south, the present loca tion of the high school is anything but central. The present experience which we are having because of lack of houses, should teach us to pre pare against the future. Not much light has as yet been thrown about the dark subject of the coming spring election. There is a very general plea for the divorcing of the saloon issue from the elec tion. The efforts to decide this troublesome issue heretofore have been anything but gratifying to both factions. That the administration of the city's affairs lias sufferedserious ly as a consequence of the divided state of affairs is evident to every one. There is a growing sentiment in favor of calling a truce, and by common consent tabling this issue until such future time as the people may elect for its further considera tion. In the mean time with the saloon question out of the way, it is believed that the people of Falls Ciy can be united upon a strong and thoroughly progressive platform, and in support of an administration made up of Falls City’s livest and most aggressive citizens. No reasonable person can find serious fault with a plan like this. And Every fair minded voter in town can throw his support to it. All that remains to be done is for the leaders of both fac lions to get together in a spirit of fairness and real magnanimity and select a ticket that will fairly repre sent both sides. This should not appear unreasonable and aught not present any serious difficulties. CATTLE AND LUMBER Concerning grains in general, Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, de clares that the United States with profit could take all the grains Can ada has to sell, and devote its own lands to less exhaustive crops. But whether we realize it or not, grow ing wheat for sale from our farms can be only temporary. After a few years the land refuses to yield profit able crop*. Recuperative farming must be re.sorti d to in ord< r to build up a soil robbed by grain growing. For this reason the older prairie state farmers turned to grass, < orn, and domestic animals us scon as they could bring about the* change. They buy their flour, and thereby keep up the fertility of the soil. The new departure has been bo prof itable ttiat lands have risen in val ue from $100 l o $2<S0 an acre. But how, then, by admitting cattle free, does the agreement help our farm ers? In tills way: Canada cannot turn to tiie production of beef and pork as we can, because the more northerly climate prevents a large corn crop from being grown there. Hut, witli cattle entering the United States duty free, the American farm er will l.e able to fatten them on liis corn and sell them at a profit. At prose lit, owing to the tendency to split tiie ranches into homesteads, there is a dearth of such cattle in tills country. The rumor that our meat trust lias had anything to do with the framing of the Canadian tariff limy be dismissed. The very tiling; it wishes would be the r**el proeal admission of free fresh and cured meats. This, with its resul tant domination of the Canadian market by our packing interests, the Dominion government would not permit. The agreement further af fects the farmer favorably by se curing as the president points out, the free listing of such important agricultural products us cotton seed oil, all kinds of fruit and vegetables, seeds, baiter, and numerous oth er items, in which the movement to Canada from the United States is much greater than from Canada to the United States. Finally, as to lumber, tiie agreement is also in the interest of the farmer—that is to say, the remission of $1,300,000 in duties on rough lumber imported into the I'niteil States by free-listing it along with pickets and palings, and a heavy reduction on dressed lumber, laths, and shingles. Briefly stated, the economic advantages proposed by the agreement are: first, a regula tion of the price's of very many nec essary artic les generally consumed by our people; second, in times of scarcity, a tendency io keep prices down on particular article's; third, by augmenting prosperity, an in crease of purchasing power, and hence an Increase of trade DAWSON John Smith was in St, Joe last w'eek buying his spring stoek.
