Nebraska linn finally drawn something -
thing In the winter line that looltH
lllco the real thing , hut the people here
have tlio DutlHfncttou of knowing that
It wan favored by the weather man
to the very last.
. The rivals of Mrs. Clmdwlck in
Cleveland Bocloty have her down anil
propose to keep her down. The wo
men of that town to the number of
1,300 have protested to the nuthorltlPH
against granting her any privileges
that other prisoners do not receive.

The Illinois stnto grange has
pledged the support of the agricultural
masses of that state to President
Roosevelt in his endeavors to regulate -
late commerce and the farmers of II-
late intor-stnto commerce and the
farmers of Illinois are not the only
ones In the country who will approve
the presidential policy.
Senator Cockroll of Missouri has
signified his willingness to accept the
appointment of the president to a
place on the Intor-stato commerce
commission and If congress will now
make the appointment worth whllo in
the matter of results , Missouri will by
her late vote have contributed mate
rially to the best Interests of the pee
ple.
Chairman Stewart of the prohibi
tion national committee has boon
asked to step down ai\d out In an ef
fort to preserve harmony. While the
committee cleared him of misappro
priating the campaign funds at his
disposal It evidently considered that
ho came too close to showing to a
wicked people of a wlckod country a
wicked method of campaign manage
ment , and that ho could not further
old In the work of reforming the mor
ally depraved.
At Shcltim n bold , bad robber has
boon found to bo a public benefactor.
A man's homo was entered and among
the plunder secured were a number of
notes and other securities of which
the man who was robbed had neglect
ed to Inform the assessor. The pa
pers were recovered and the assessor ,
who appears to have had a loug mem
ory , considered that the county and
etato was entitled to share in the re
ward , so taxed the property up prop
erly , and an evasion of the law was
made Impossible.
The people of Ohio are frightened.
Not only has the prolonged drouth
brought the rivers to a low stage , with
wells and other sources of water sup
ply going dry , but the severely cold
weather has almost frozen solid the
scant supply of water remaining In
the streams and there Is apprehen
sion of trouble to all the users of wa
ter. When the situation becomes so
bad that it cannot bo longer berne
the people of that state will find a
ready refuge In Nebraska where there
is an abundance of water for all pur
poses. When It comes to dodging
drouths the people of Nebraska will
remain right nt homo and "live hap
pily over afterward. "
The Alnsworth Star-Journal thinks
that the lands In Brown county nro In
need of a raise. With the crop of
wheat the past season bringing In re
turns of $20 per acre , It does not look
fairly consistent that the price of the
land should not bo above $10 per aero ,
which might easily bo paid out of the
first year's crops. Not only In Brown
county , but throughout north Nebras
ka the lands will certainly very soon
show an additional ralso in values ,
, f
and the people who export to llnd
bargains In this section of the conn-
try will ho doing well to get In line
trer
early. Land values are never likely
Id bo lower than they are now , while
they will assuredly some day ilHe tea
tla
a point connlHtenl with the valno of
the crops they are able to produce.
Iowa IH engaged In n right vlgoioiiH
eontioveisy regarding the advisability
f holding Its general elections less
requently , It being argued that the
avlng to thu state and the counties
f which It Is composed would amount
o a very generous sum , whllo the of-
rlaln , having longer terms , would bo
tetter able to demonstrate their fit-
is for olllce and accommodate thorn-
lelves to the duties and environments
if their iHisltlons. The politicians do
lot smile with favor on the scheme
if cutting down their ( line ami op-
) oiunity ( for agitation ono-half , how-
jvor , and It Is likely that the proposl-
Ion will go down In defoat.
With North OMKWYlwvCI I3TAO
With north Nebraska shipping IfiO
cars of corn and oats directly to the
Philippines there Is an Intimation to
the balance of the world where U can
como If It wants to for Una grains at
market prices. The stock In hand Is
long ways from bolng depleted by
the 0110 demand from the Islands In
the far east , but It will have some sort
of Inlluenco on the markntn , beyond a
doubt. Then , too , the farmers of this
section nro receiving some evidence
of the value of the Philippines as
an American possession and as afford
ing a gateway for the Introduction of
Nebraska products to other peoples
of the orient. The recent shipment
should provo an advertisement of Ne
braska's resources that will ho found
profitable In the future.
Things begin to look favorable to
the taking In of one or two now states
by Uncle Sam. The boosters of Okla
homa , Indian territory , Arizona and
Now Mexico have done some tall hus
tling to keep their territories In the at
tention of congress and are deserving
of success. Beside the other states
will not bo averse to welcoming a
couple of now sisters at' a tlmo when
they fool particularly clover toward
the whole world. Basing Its conclu
sions on the fact that the now state
or states may grasp tholr political In
spiration from tholr slstor state Tex
as , a republican congress , In vlow of
the magnificent results of the Into
election , has nothing to fear from the
now state or states should they decide
to go the way of Texas. But they un
doubtedly figure that the showing of
the way the country Is bound as the
result of the late election will cause
the now stnto or states to take the In
itial stop In the right direction.
The bankers of the country general
ly propose to take no chances on be
ing "Chadwlcked" In the future.
Mr. Greene In confronting Tom Lawson -
son fearsoinoly has evidently lost
some of the nerve that distinguished
his record on the frontier.
With only ono more pay day be
tween now and Christmas the fellow
on salary who has not saved his
spending money Is likely to enter the
now year with his account showing In
red ink.
There Is ono man who will have no
tlmo for the mother-in-law Jokes. Ho
Is an Iowa man who has recently de
serted his wife and run away with her
mother. To him there Is nothing In
the assertions of the jokers that the
mothcr-ln-law is not a splendid indi
vidual.
Since the prohibition party has de
cided to dispense with the services of
Chairman Stewart It Is not finding It
as easy as might bo to find a substi
tute for the place. Perhaps the next
best thing for the managers would bo
to declare everything off and dispense
with the party organization entirely.
U would hardly bo missed.
The people of the east are suffering
from excessive cold , disagreeable
snow , high winds and a lack of water.
What further will bo needed to cause
the people of that benighted section
to see the advantages of n residence
In Nebraska ? Now Is the tlmo for them
'to ' move west and grow up with a
country that Is developing magnifi
cently from year to year.
Sioux City Is only fifty years old
and stands as an evidence of what can
bo achieved by the western people In
a half century. Sioux City , like other
towns In the west Is a mere infant in
comparison with eastern towns and
It Is not a vain Imagining that In an
other fifty years It will have advanced
remarkably in position , affluence and
beauty. Like other towns of the west
It Is developing with the country and
not until all the vast resources of the
west have been developed can It bo
considered as having attained to Its
full growth.
The prospects seem favoinhlo for
the short session of the present con-
gtess to he one of achievement , with
credit for n great amount of business
accomplished. The way the represen
tatives of the people are passing on
hills and creating legislation Indicates
a willingness and an ability to earn
their salaries and It IH expected that
before the sitting closes there will be
ft record that will redound to the cred
it of the body. Nobrnskans are lookIng -
Ing forward to a legislative session
that will take Its cue from the nation *
il gathering and accomplish a lot of
needed legislation with no largo
imount of lost time spent In dallying
: > ver Important subjects.
With bank clearances and business
enorally Increasing over the showing
of last year there Is every reason for
ho people to believe that there Is tote
to a continuance of the prosperity that
las been known In the country for the
past ton years. There have been a
few minor setbacks , just enough to
enforce requisite caution , but on the
whole there never was a tlmo , per
haps , when the business Interests
were bettor able to advance and do
volop. The little flurries In the Wall
street stock market have had no of
foot tin the general business conditions
of the country and there seems m
doubt but that conditions will contln
no prosperous with a healthy tone t <
business for a number of years.
Perhaps no prominent candidate for
president who has over gone througli
a campaign has ever dropped as sud
denly and completely out of sight as
has Mr. Parker. Tom Watson Is re
colvlng a great deal more attention
than the recent democratic nominee
and Mr. Bryan In all his eight or tci
years of prominent political life has
never been as completely submerged
in oblivion as Is the Now York Jurist
but a little more than a month since
ho led the democratic hosts to defeat
In a few more months or In a ycni
unless ho takes a brace on public no
torloty there will be many people Inquiring
quiring- to who Judge Altoji B. Par
ker might bo. The tremendous vote
under which ho was burled started n
squelcher from which the judge cai
never hope to recover fully , but ho
might at least cause his party to realIze
Izo that they had had a leader at on
tlmo during their recent career , b >
paying a little attention to the gal
lory. Grover Cleveland nmlntalnci
his position before the public by tnk
Ing up his fishing rod or gun and go
Ing out to commune with nature. Th
Judge might receive reliable Instruc
tlon from him If ho chose to avail him
self of the method of procedure fo
retired and deposed candidates.
Japan appears to have a number o
Hobsons on her war pay rolls , bu
they usually get killed off before the ;

Three more days until Chrlstmn
and many who would bo generously
Inclined to relatives and friends nro
still hopeful that their ship may come
in.
The way north Nebraska real estate
is changing hands Is evidence that
there are still a few who are willing
to let go of n good thing for the advantage -
vantage of the new comer.
Dr. Lyman Abbott's revised version
of his scriptural beliefs Is not likely
to provo the acceptable belief In n ma
jority of the churches for a number
of years to come. Ills Is a radical
departure from the usual teaching and
if it is capable of proof ho will bo
many years In convincing any large
following of the facts.
Nan Patterson is evidently the
deadliest rival Mrs. Clmdwlck now has
in the favor of the editor and publish-
or. She was obscured for a tlmo by
the Chadwlck story but has risen tea
a new dignity In public sensation
with the waning of the Chadwlck tale.
Mrs. Chadwlck will require a now sen
sation or two in her career to hold
her own or recover what has been lost.
It may have been fatal for her notori
ety to leave New York for Cleveland.
The weather man had things fixed
all right for Christmas but the Ne
braska Italian brand of temperature
came along In tlmo to queer the deal
and unless the weather man can again
hustle some frosty bits and some zero
temperature within a few days the
people of the state will bo compelled
to make the best of the proposition
and hold their Christmas festivities
out In the groves with linen dusters
for attire , fans and parasols for com
forts and Ice cream and lemonade for
the luxuries suitable to the season.
Sioux City is patting itself on the
back in celebration of its semi-centen
nial. It has indeed made progress In
the fifty years since it became a fac
tor in the western world , and It has
many friends In the northwest who
are Joyful with It over the achieve-
louts of the half century. It Is to bo
loped that Slonx City will continue to
eop pace with the development of
ho resources of the great west , In
vhlch the city of the Sioux occupies
an enviable position.
The advocated of something for the
ship builders and ship owners have
leposed the word "subsidy" consider-
ng It a possible hoodoo to their plans
ind bring It out In the new bill under
ho title , "subvention. " Regardless of
ho title there are a largo number of
leople In the country , not Interested ill-
ectly In shipping , who would bo
( loaned to see American shipping In-
crests advanced in n measure to coin-
Hire with Its record as the leading
commercial nation of the world. The
carrying trade should as certainly bo
: lone In American vessels as that
American machinery turns the raw
products Into manufactured merchan
dise , and the work should as certainly
! io performed by Americans as that
fVmcrlcans do the wonc of producing.
In building up everything American at
home and abroad It is essential that
America should create a place among
the nations of the world In the ocean
carrying business.
Thomas W. Lawson , having knocked
Wall street down and gagged It , now
proceeds to read It a lecture on Its
foolishness and he'promises that he
will stay by the frenzied financiers
until the game Is all won. Ho says
that lie has a number of cards up his
sleeve yet to bo played and shows
their edges to provo that ho Is in the
playing. Either Lawson Is assuming
a great deal that ho cannot deliver ,
or ho Is about to become the best
friend of the public that the street
has developed In a number of years.
He Is original In turning his knowl
edge of the street to the benefit of the
people and should bo In possession ol
a number of street secrets that will
come as a campaign of education to
many lambs who have been bled right
and left Indiscriminately for many
years. Ho Is certainly giving public
ity to Wall street practices that for
the people at largo should be as large
ly beneficial as the publicity that is
threatened to be used against the
trusts and on behalf of the people.
Bernard McOrcovy , president of the
defunct Elkhorn Valley bank at
O'Neill , has learned that the arm of
the law Is a long one and exceeding
hard to evade and the tlmo may come
when his partner In the transaction
former Cashier Patrick Hagerty , will
also learn of Its wonderful reach
There was a tlmo some years ago
when defaulting officials and othei
ontrngers of the law were quite sue
cessful In hiding and evading punish
ment , but when their Identity Is once
known to the officials it Is extremely
difficult In these later days to escape
the demands of justice. The papers
are full of accounts constantly where
delinquent officials are ferreted on
and returned to the scene of thel
crime for the punishment that Is de
served. It appears to bo the expcrl
once that the most successful at cvail
Ing punishment are those who remali
and fight their way through the courts
but there is a change bolng worked In
this particular and It will not Jbe Ion
until all who are deserving of punish
ment draw their full penalty.
It will not be surprising If the jurj
In the Patterson case gives a verdlc
of acquittal , providing it is Influ
enced by public sentiment , whlcl
seems to be quite decidedly in ( ave
of the show girl. This prejudice
sometimes manifests itself with un
due prominence. A newspaper ac
count of the trial says , "In the cours
of one of her ( Miss Patterson's ) an
swers , she exclaimed In a voice ring
ing with sincerity , 'I have alway
tried to bo tmthful and honorable. '
The mere statement is open to cha
lenge , but when the reporter put 1
that her voice rang with sincerity
there Is evidence of a bald prejudic
in the account. There is said to b
honor among thieves and if there i
there may have been a certain degre
of honor in Nan Patterson's llfo from
her own viewpoint. It is possible tha
she may be truthful throughout , bu
one docs not require a flno sense o
honor to challenge the latter claim o
her statement and her voice ma
have had a ringing tone when she ul
tored it , but It could scarcely hav
been with sincerity In view of her tes
tlmony regarding her Hfo and her re
latlons with Caesar Young. At leas
what she might have considered honorable
orablo would not apply to any reason
able modern code. Taking money
from a married man , following him
across the continent , appointing fre
quent meetings , going with him to sa
loons , drinking whiskey and being"
with him In a cab when ho met his
death from a bullet wound would
hardly accord with the popular concep
tion of honor , and her voice should
not have rung with such astonishing
"sincerity" when she uttered her al
leged moral standing.
If you draw a deed to a quarter sec-
Ion of north Nebraska land In your

A New York paper suggests that
.he railroad magnates can head off a
growing popular prejudice against
hem by joining In with the plan as
aid down by President Roosevelt and
hcmsolvcs assisting In accomplishing
lint which is demanded by the people.
They may go further and faro worse
than by taking the public Into their
confidence.
The railroad magnates who do not
Iko the plan mapped out by congress
will probably threaten thousands of
employes with reduced wages In the
event that congress compels the rail
roads to give cheaper and more equit
able freight and passenger rates. The
employes should not be compelled to
suffer in behalf of the general public ,
but It Is right that the public should
have justice at the hands of the corpo
rations.
Tom Lawson Is of the opinion that
the frenzied financiers have become
frenzied enough to attempt his life on
several occasions. The rumor that he
had been assassinated is followed
with the expressed opinion of the man
who has been stirring up the bulls and
bears that he had been poisoned twice
within the past month. He has re
fused , however , to succumb to the ne
farious designs of his enemies and
proposes to give the tall of the bull
and the nose of the bear a number of
tweaks before he Is through with the
play.
In vlow of the general results of the
late election It Is believed that the re
publicans of the country would be
willing to concede to the democrats all
the right and title accruing from the
Colorado returns. If they have resort
ed to fraud to obtain their ends it will
as certainly develop as murder will
oufand they will be able to extract
very little comfort and honor from
the deal. Granting that they are not
entitled to any of the showing as
made by the returns , the republicans
may strengthen themselves in that
state by placing a curb on their ambi
tions and not overstepping the rights
that nro theirs but merely holding to
the point of law and order without at
tempting to exceed what the people
intended they should have. It hardly
seems probable that the throwing out
of a few precincts where fraudulent
votes were cast would be sufficient to
overcome the apparent will of the people
ple who gave a plurality of 11,000 to
Adams , the democratic nominee for
governor , and If the republicans at
tempt to force the reseating of Pea
body in the gubernatorial chair there
will probably be trouble and that trou
ble will not be eliminated when the
tlmo comes for the republicans to
again seek approbation at the hands
of the voters when the next genera
election rolls around. The republic
ans can strengthen or weaken their
cause by their actions during the next
few months.
HOME PATRONAGE.
The Nebraska press and the papers
of other states
are energetically argu
ing for the home merchant and
against the big eastern houses which
seek to take the
money from the coun
try and return nothing for it. The
Spaldlng Enterprise contains the fol
lowing argument :
"There are several traveling grocerj
salesmen In this part of the countr >
and they seem to be doing some busl
ness. .It does not seem possible that
people will patronize these follows
but some of the unthinking do. Thej
seem to forget that when times were
hard and they had no money that the
homo merchant carried them and gave
them the necessaries to support their
families and awaited a long time for
the money. This reason alone oughl
to be sufficient to prevent our home
people from patronizing concerns that
pay no taxes here or do nothing to
support the town or country. The bet
tor your homo town Is the better the
country and the higher your land val
ues go , and no town will over amount
to much where the farming communlt >
send their money away. Besides this
the foreign concern must make a profIt -
It on their goods , and they pay livery
hire and the salary of the salesman
All this you pay for , and if the goods
are not satisfactory you cannot return
them , but must keep thorn regardless
if their value. In talking with ono of
> ur merchants the editor of this paper
icard him make the following state-
nent : That If any customer of the
'orclgn concerns would como to Ma
store and buy the same amount of
goods and pay the cash , as they do to
: ho tinvcllng salesmen , that ho would
meet the price made , the quality of
ho goods considered , and always stood
ready to make any mistake or defect
in the quality of the goods right.
Stand up for your home town. When
times get hard and you need an ac
commodation you always go to your
liomo merchant for It. Ho pays the
[ axes , helps to educate your children ,
i-rccts buildings and In every way im
proves the country and spends MB
money. Ho cannot do this If you send
your money away. Many people who
owe the homo merchant send their
cash awny to a concern that cares for
nothing but the money. Wo do not
believe there are many of the people
tributary to Spaldlng patronizing
these fellows , but should there be any
wo hope they will read this and profit
thereby. "
