North Nebraska Is certain to bo Infer

It Is not probable that Atllal Steven

The people have heard rumors of

It must bo admitted that the result

If Mr. Bryan is as fearless of re

The reason the democrats are urg
ing llanna , _ Taft , et al , on the atten
tion of the republican party for the
presidential nomination Is given away
by the Cellar ItapIdH , Iowa , Gazette ,
which says : "A united democracy
cnn beat any other man than Hnose-
volt. " The republicans have , however -
over , reserved the right to name their
own candidate , and ' that candidate
will be the man the Gazette says can
not bo beaten. ,
It Is becoming inoro and moro evi
dent that Mr. Webster will never no

less perclmneo the unmo of Theodore
Roosevelt heads the ticket. Tlio tem
per of the Nebraska republicans Is
such that they will not submit to any
oilier proposition than that Uooscvolt
should head the ticket , and If ho does
not Mr. Webster must go down to defeat -
feat with him.
After being freed from Spanish
tyranny by this country and being
made the recipient of a generous
reciprocity treaty , Cubft offers to repay
<
pay the 'American people by passing
tariff measures that would exclude
ecu-tain American manufactures and
products from the Island. That would
certainly bo : i generous way of treat
ing her big friend and It might bo ex
pected that the American congress
would fall all over thonisolves to
grant the now republic further favors.
A Dritlsh expedition has penetrated

In this ago thcro Is any part of the
world that has never boon visited by
the modern Englishman or American ,
but this Is a portion of the glebe that
has never before been scon by a white
man , The poplo are a savage and
brutal race and heretofore no white
man has been permitted to outer the
country. Some Interesting disclos
ures regarding the people and the
country are expected when the expe
dition again returns to civilization.
It Is evident that some of President
Roosevelt's enemies who have been
booming Senator TIanna for the nom
ination , have about decided that it
is impossible and have recently been
bestowing the same attention on Gov
ernor Tuft. Mr. Taft's best friends
hope to see him prove as level-headed
as Senator llanna. in which event
there will bo w > mo lively skirmishing
for anotlior public man who might bo

The tlmo is not far distant when the

, The Hague tribunal will not bo an

rush at each other's throats are about
as strong ns can bo , and it takes re
markably cool heads to keep them
apart. It has boon many years since

llriim making thls mcdlelno have recently -
contly formed a trust and boosted

that inasmuch as n largo portion of

It IH estimated by a statistician that
the toltil wealth of the farmers of the
United States Is $20,51-1,000.000 , a
sum that makes the fortunes of a
Rockefeller or u" Morgan or a Gould
look ridiculously Inslgu'.ilcant. There
are moro to share In this stupendous
wealth , but the miiHl-mllllonalrcs are
not moro certain of their fortunes and
their profits than are the farmers of
the land. It is a splendid showing
and a matter of congratulation for
anyone that owns the proud distinc
tion of being classed with these wealth
owners and wealth producers.
It seems as though Panama was
ready to moot all omrgenclcs , and If
the committee added these amend
ments to the canal treaty with the
Idea of holding the measure up , they
were counting without considering
the possibilities of the leaders ofHho
now republic , and their ready acquies
cence makes It highly probable that
congress will either be compelled to
pass the measure or look for some
more valid reason /or the delay than
can como out of the Isthmian republic.
The Chicago city council is becom
ing exceedingly precise regarding the
theatres of that city , and the law re
cently passed Is a death-knoll to n
number of the play houses thnt have
heretofore been In operation. It Is
right though. If the amusement
places are not thoroughly protected
against a possible repetition of the
disaster that awoke not only the Chicago
cage council but tlio councils of
many other cities of the world , It Is
a matter of right to the public that
they should bo closed.
The republican editors of Missouri
have assured President Roosevelt of

If they could only assure him that

It Is not Impossible that the presi
dent may bo surprised with this sort
of an endorsement by the time the

time for it to do so.

poses. It is probable that the con
gressman from the Dig Sixth has hit
upon the plan that will operate to
prevent the land frauds nnd the ques
tionable methods of gaining title that
have been going on in the past. Cer
tain it is-that much of this land will
never bo of value except to the stock
men , and It should bo made possible
for them to got title legitimately nnd
without trouble. The time nnd money
required to prove up on a homestead
is moro than the value of the land
under the present homestead law ,
and Mr. Klnkaid's plan , or some other
plan of the same nature should re
ceive the thoughtful consideration of
congress.
If the llvo stock Interests put Into

The stockmen certainly have a great
advantage over the packing interests
In the matter of controlling the un
finished product and if they g.et into
the part of the business in which the
packing is done nnd the finished pro
ducts are put on the market , the pack-
era may bo compelled to go begging ,
or retaliate by going Into the business
of ratbing stock. It will bo an Inter

An American naval ofllcer who had

With the advance of llfty cents a

the raising of beets a good proilt at
the old prlco , hut with the assnrnnco
of llfty cents additional for every
twenty hundredweight of the roots
many more should join In the work
of producing tlio raw material that

sugar. The factory should , at thia
prlco , have all the beets that can be
handled and the campaign should be
long and satisfactory to the factory
management as well as the growers
and the men employed. Contracts aio

Congressman Urownlow and his bill
are quite likely to come favorably be-4
fore the attention of the people of
the country , because good roads Is
a pertinent subject In almost every
state In the union and the Tennessee
congressman's measure gives promise
of dealing with It in a manner that
will bo satlHfuctory not only to his
constituents but to others In widely
separated districts nnd states. The
? 21,000,000 that the bill contemplates
would receive wide llstrlbutlon and
for a good purpose nnd with an addi
tional $21,000,000 that the states will
bo required to put up there will bo
a showing In the matter of roads that
will bo appreciated by the farmers
and every ono who has or will Imvo
occasion to drive. Nebraska Is gen
erally bettor off In many respcts re
garding its roads than other states ,
but the ? 01G,000 that the bill provides
for this state could bo used to ex
cellent advantage , and with govern
ment supervision of the work it is
certain that the roads built would bo
permanent and satisfactory. The pub
lic money might bo spent in many
ways less advantageous to the people
than that suggested by the congress
man from Tennessee.
Since tlio telephone has gone into
use It is noticed that some of the best
and quickest returns from advertise
ments are recorded over these con
venient wires. The person who lives
In the city after reading an advertise
ment and seeing in it something that
ls _ desired for the household at a right
prlco immediately calls up the mer
chant and has the purchase delivered
at the door. With the farmer patron ,
the delivery Is not made but the mer
chandise desired Is ordered wrapped
up and laid away until such time as
the patron may visit the town when it
Is bundled Into the wagon nnd carted
homo. Speaking of this modern meth
od of transacting business the ttoston
Advertiser says : "This does not
apply to the very rich alono. People
of the most modest fortune who have
a telephone in their homes send in
their orders in preference to making
personal calls. The use of the tele
phone in this way shows how news
paper advertising is bringing moro
business all the tlmo to retail stores.
Of course the people who send in
their orders do so because they have
seen In their newspaper's advertising
columns mention of this or that bar
gain. They do not need to go to the
store to look over the counter or In
the shop windows. I3y reading the ad
vertising columns the customer knows
what to buy nnd where to order it. "
The time for planting trees is yet
In the quite distant future but it Is
none too early for the farmers anl
the land owners to lay their plans
for the orchards , groves and wind-
brakes that are necessary to a coun
try that was formerly entirely devoid -
void of trees but is gradually being
liberally covered with healthy grovet
and productive fruit orchards. The
sooner this metamorphosis Is complete
ploto the sooner may the proportj
owners hope to gather the fruits 01
their labors. With the majority ol
purchasers and prospective buyers
the presence of trees on a farm adds
materially to its value , and they urc
standing arguments to the fertility ol
the Boll that cannot ho disputed
With nn abundance of trooa In the
country to conserve the moisture thr
liability to crop failure will bo mated
ally lessened , and there Is an ovei
increasing demand for the lumber ami
firewood , thu posts and ties Ink
which trees can ho converted , so thai
their planting is an investment certain
tain to bring returns any wny It it
viewed. Every farm uliould have
from one to twenty-live acres of trees

evidenced by the beautiful groves and
prolific orchards now standing aa tos
tlmony to the foresight of the plon

every acre available for the purpose
Is producing grove or orchard.
CONCERNING GOVERNOR MICKEY ,
Tlio question whether or not Gov
ernor Mickey can bo re-elected Is dis
turbing some of the republicans of the
state , and Is a matter of considerable
moment to the party. They remem
ber that his majority was not large
and overwhelming in 1902 , and there
Is considerable doubt expressed as to
his having added anything to his per
sonal strength since ho was in
augurated. The vote of his home
county and homo precinct was a
matter for comment Avhen the re
turns were counted In 1902 and it is
a question if tlio condition which lost
him votes at home has not spread out
over the state and will lose him the
election. The governor has many
warm personal friends who wish him
well , but are fearful If he is again
placed in nomination his candidacy
will bo discredited by the people and
thnt his defeat would result in his
political death , and would much pre
fer that ho should decline to again
make the race.
Many who were ardent supporters
during his first campaign , have be
come chilly or positively in opposi
tion to his renominalion , and this con
dition in a few districts of the state
would undoubtedly bring about his
defeat. To offset this condition the
governor has won no warm personal
friend's , In fact his record In the exe
cutive office has been of a negative
quality , nnd ho haa done nothing to
call forth the ccomlumo of any largo
number of the people of the stato.
At the beginning of a year when
p-roat things , politically , are to bo
I'one , when great fights are to bowen
won nnd lost , there Is a notable lack
of enthusiasm for Governor Mickey's
renomlnation. The press is practi
cally silent regarding the governor's
office , and this Is an unfavorable
omen when so much space is being
devoted to President Roosevelt and
candidates for state office
There are many in the state who
would bo willing to again make a
fight for Governor Mickey , but oven
they are doubtful of the results
should he be placed before the people ,
while there are many moro of his
party who are thoroughly convinced
that his re-election would bo impos
sible , and none , are enthusiastically
supporting his candidacy. If the gov
ernor were to get next public senti
ment and the sentiment of his party
It Is possibo that ho would decline to
permit the mention of his name in
connection with the office , nnd ho
would do well to heed the advice of
his friends in the matter and save
himself and his party from an em-
harassing situation.
ECCENTRIC CITIZEN TRAIN.
There are pot many who know the
man or of him , but will bo sorry to
learn of the death of the venerable ,
eccentric Citizen George Francis
Train. Perhaps Nebraska , and Omaha
In particular , owes moro to this
strange man than any other portion
of the country , although ho was
well known everywhere over the
civilized world , because ho was
the moving spirit in the development
of the Nebraska metropolis and the
stato. Ho originated the movement
for the building of the Union Pacific
railway , and after this was done the
development of Omaha , Nebraska and
the west was rapid. In spite of his
vast projects , nnd the immense
amount of money handled by him ,
Citizen Train died a comparatively
poor man , although ho was not In
want. The Inter years of his life
were given to literature , of which a
history of his remarkable llfo will un
doubtedly bo his best and most valued
legacy to the people of the country
Citizen Train was at the height of
Ills notlrloty when In 1S72 ho made
the race for president on an Indepen
dent ticket , but that his candidacy
was not popular was shown by the re-

turns , he receiving very few votes.
His eccentric character was well Il
lustrated in his early career at
Omaha , the following incident being
told by the Bee of that city : "m
those days the Ilorntlon house , now
the Union Pacific headquarters build
ing , was tlio most pretentious hotel
building in the west and hero Train
was boarding. Ho became offended
at what ho considered lock of atten
tion to his wants and vowed ho would
build a rival. Ho did it and its erec
tion was a line example of what a
hustler could do when ho set about
It. What for years was known ns
the Cozzons house , on Ninth street
just south of Farnam , was the result.
This largo frame building was erected
In thirty days and as speedily equip
ped as a hotel and for years after the
Herndon ceased to be a hotel was
the leading caravansary of Omaha
find was known from ono end of the
continent to the other. It ceased to
bo used as a hotel a number of years
ago and last year was torn down to
make room for a wholesale ware
house. "
No doubt his dcatli will cause a republication -
publication of tlio stories connected
with his remarkable career and they
will lurnish interesting reading to a
younger generation that knew little
or nothing of the man. ,
