It hns boon estimated that Chicago

Some of the congressmen would do-

The sympathy of the northwest Is
given to Slonx City which met with
such n serious llro disaster when the
Hhor people of the country wore

great day. The flames nto through
mo of the bcBt business portions of
ho town , leaving ruin nnd distress In
: holr wnko , nnd In n few hours had
consumed millions of dollars worth of
property. It was a serious loss but
iho friends nnd admirers of the city

section of the city that suffered from
the disaster , hut It IH expected that

Improved contrast to the section de

The town hns business men of vigor

energy In the commercial world and
It will certainly build better than be

begins.
CAN CONGRESS REFUSE ?
For the purpose of keeping the high
ways of commerce , the railroads , open
to the use of the public on equal
terms to everybody , the president
innkes the recommendation that the
public hns asked for and ono that ev
ery fair minded business man who has
studied the question will npprovo.
Ho asks that the Interstate commerce
commission bo given the power to
say in any case what rnto Is fair nnd
that Its flat bo affective until n judi
cial authority shall determine other
wise.
Under the present law nn unfair
rnto can bo changed only by the long ,
tedious , nnd expensive course of a
contest through all the courts. Evi
dently only a small proportion of the
shippers discriminated against can
afford to mnko such a tight against
the power of the railroads under the
present arrangement While the
roads are forced occasionally to re
fund overcharges to shippers , they
are nt the same tlmo able to continue
such overcharges In other cases In
defiance of all rules of law or fair
ness. The Interstate commerce com
mission under the present law Is a
warship without guns. It can recom
mend , but beyond that It Is powerless.
The change asked for by the presi
dent reverses the proceeding. When
the Interstate commerce commission
finds a rate to bo discriminative or ox-
horbltant It will have a right to set a
rate such as It deems fair , and the
railroad then has the privilege of go
ing into court If it feels that the rate
is unjust. Such a law simply gives
the commerce commission the posi
tion of the lower court that hns the
right to enforce Its decrees until a
higher court shall decide differently.
It turns against the railroads the In
junction device which they hnvo been
so fond of applying In tholr own de
fense.
The president nnd the people now
see clearly that It is the system of
overcharges and discriminations In
the Interests of favored shippers un
der nn ineffectual regulation of rates
that has made it possible for certain
corporations to gain control of pro
ducts that could not bo monopolized
otherwise , nnd they are asking con
gress for the simple means of protec
tion to which they are entitled. The
railroads will mnko a strong fight
against the proposed measure. The
people nro in favor of It. It Is up to
congress to say whoso Interests it
will servo. State Journal.
The democrats nro reported ns
ready to take up the railroad reforms
that have been advocated In Presi
dent ItooHOvell'H tnoHHiigo. They
should not bo In any undue hurry.
The recommendations hnvo been
made by n republican president nnd
n republican congress will see tlmt
they nro duly Incorporated Into n law
before the democrats hnvo an oppor
tunity of substituting them for their
other "paramount" Issues.
With the Lincoln hospital for the
liiHano crowded to overflowing nnd
the four wnlls of a Inrgo nnd siihstan-
tin ! wing stnndlng In Norfolk , the plan
for relieving the situation should at
once suggest Itself to the incmberH of
the coming legislature. With only'
the doors nnd the roof to bo placed
nnd the finishing to bo done there Is
a prompt nnd economical method of
meeting the demands for more com
modious quarters for the unfortunates
of the state. With the Norfolk hospi
tal providing for the unfortunates of
north Nebraska the Lincoln nnd Hns-
tings Institutions should bo abun
dantly ample for the unfortunates of
the Houth Plntto country.
Democrats hnvo been meeting with
Mr. Hrynu nt Lincoln nnd there Is n
suspicion tlmt they are preparing to
nssert Mr. Urynn's claims to the lead
ership of the party nt n very early
date. Mr. Urynn Is certainly ns com
petent IIH others nnd his friends feel
positive that under his guldnnco the
party cannot possibly suffer worse de
feat than that sustained whllo the
tiller wns In the hands of the eastern
gold men. Democracy Is In n hard
wny , nt the best , nnd It might ns well
continue experimenting around until
It finds Its Moses , Blnco It hns been In
search such n number of campaigns.
Mr. Urynn'R friends think tlmt It IB
now capable of proof that ho Is the
man for the place. They will certain
ly not concede that he will fall behind
a couple of million votes ns n result
of the transfer of lendershlp.
North Nebraska farmers nro next to
bo favored with some Instruction ro <
ganllng pure seed nnd the npproprl/
nto manner of selecting and securing
the best results. The Northwestern
Is to run over the lines a special dur
ing the first week In January giving
the farmers nlong the lines sugges
tlons nnd Instructions that will help
them to bettor tholr crops , nnd so
euro grcnter returns from tholr labor.
Where these seed specials have been
run they have proven very popular
nnd the farmers of north Nebraska
will not be slow to avail themselves
of the ndvnntnges offered. Numbers
of them will bo In Lincoln nt the tlmo
taking the regular winter course of'
fered by the university of Nebraska
but there will bo many others at homo
who will glndly tnko ndvantngo of the
generosity of the railroad and univer
sity people making the trip with the
special.
The sale of $5,000 of bonds by the
town of CInrkson , Colfax county , for
the purpose of providing n town wa
ter system , Illustrates the credit nnd
solid financial stnndlng of our Ne
braska communities. The bonds ,
which bear 5 per cent Interest , were
bought by n Nebraska man , who .had
to pay $15 premium , against local
competitors whoso bids wore within
n hair's breadth of that of the pur
chaser. These bonds run twenty
years , but payment Is optional after
live years. It Is said that they will
bo paid soon after the option becomes
effective , and that , too , with hardly
a perceptible burden upon the tax
payer. The town of Clarkson other
wise has not a dollar of indebtedness.
It Is worth whllo to pause and con
trast such a Nebraska town of today
with the situation that existed only
ton years ago. Lincoln Star.
President Lcavltt of the Ames su
gar factory thinks that his factory Is
bettor located for drawing raw ma
terial from the west that can raise
llttlo but sugar beets and Indicates
that this is the only condition that
would prevent the Ames factory
from following the Norfolk factory to
the west It Is perhaps more flatter
ing than otherwise that the farmers
of eastern Nebraska find ample re
ward In raising the numerous crops
to which the soil and climate Is adapt
ed , without the necessity of doing the
hard labor that Is required In raising
beets for similar returns. The Nor
folk company has certainly offered
every possible suggestion that would
enable the farmers of this section to
raise beets at n profit and has second
ed the suggestion by bidding higher
from year to year for the crop , but
without success. The farmers find
the growing of wheat , oats , stock nnd
other sources of farm revenue abun
dantly reliable and cannot bo Induced
to raise beets in sufllcient quantity.
That portion of the forming Industry
will therefore bo relegated to the
sections of country where they can
raise beets and nothing else.
This Is about the tlmo that the old-
fashioned kids used to keep n sharp
look-out for the man with as manv
eyes as there are days In the year.
December has done very well In the
winter line in Nebraska. Usually It
Is loft for January and February to
depress the mercury below the zero
mark but old man winter hns exerted
his authority early In the season nnd
It would not bo surprising If ho became -
came tired early In the season nnd
relinquishes his grip on the affairs
of the weather early In the now year.
With the passing of the business
rush the morchnnts nnd other Inllu-
entlnl factors can afford to devote n
portion of tholr tlmo to arranging
that the now year about to dawn will
bo ono of the best In the history of
north Nebraska. The country Is one
of the best In nil out doors and It
should bo advanced properly along
the lines tlmt It cnn so effectually fill.
A llttlo energy nnd ndvertlsement
will call the attention of the people of
the drouth stricken cast to ono of the
most fertile regions ! ! the world nnd
they cnn bo nttracted hither with the
proper efforts. A big movement for
the west will undoubtedly tnko place
next season nnd north Nebraska
should share In the advantages of the
movement.
The Incoming legislature should
undertake to see that the law permit
ting bonding companies to become
Biirltles for state ofllccrs Is made supreme
premo court proof. Nebraska's ex
perience with personal bonds Is not
such as to create enthusiasm of the
people over such a security , nnd It
would bo much more satisfactory to
the general public If the bonds were
placed with companies that make that
their business nnd that go after
the prosecution of n derelict official
without sentimental stnys on Its nc-
tlon. With responsible bonding com
panies belli ml the state ofllclals to see
that they glvo honest work nnd cor-
lect accountings of funds there wlil
not bo the fear that the stnto will
find It Impossible to collect should
thcro bo default In any of the olllces.
The Incoming ofllclnls nro doubtless
as trustworthy ns any that could be
selected but It Is a general proposition
that Is right to protect the people
from any possible loss.
When Uncle gets his new navy all
li ) fighting trim , some of his nephews
nnd nieces would almost excuse him
for picking n scrap just to glvo a prac
tical test of the now machinery , before
the peace movement becomes so pro
nounced tlmt It will bo Impossible for
him to get a fight anywhere with a
foe worthy of his steel. Only Ger
many or Great Britain could be de
pended upon with any degree of cer
tainty to furnish the neucleus for n
first class sen battle and both of these
governments nro BO good to America
and BO friendly , withal , that It would
seem nlmost llko kicking up n row In
the family. At the present time ,
therefore , It seems almost possible
that the now navy will bo permitted
to do nothing more strenuous than
war maneuvers and threaten the Turk
until It will become obsolete. By that
time , perhaps , the money thnt would
go Into the construction of another
new navy may bo used for some pur
pose tlmt will prove of greater bene
fit to the people In general.
It Is suggested that the farmers are
as largely Interested as any class in
the proposed new national law ex
tending the rights of the interstate
commerce commission nnd giving it
the power to enforce rates after they
have found certain schedules discrim
inative. The trusts and the big man
ufacturing concerns are given rebates
by the railroads to secure their busi
ness , but the farmers are not usually
largo shippers though they as a class
glvo more business to the railroad
companies than any other Interest.
The farmers and stockmen should
therefore urge upon their congres
sional representatives that they sup
port the proposed new law. This can
bo done either by petition or by let
ter and the congressmen or senator
who Is urged to support the measure
nnd realizes that such support Is the
desire of a largo portion of his con
stituency will hardly care to risk a re
fusal. It is believed that the Nebras
ka representatives In congress will
realize that the state Is favorable to
the proposed law , but they should not
be left in doubt nnd the small ship
pers who will receive the largest ben
efits In the aggregate should make It
their business to see that the con
gressional delegation is thoroughly
informed on the wishes of their con
stituents In the matter. Influences
that the members of congress will
recognize nnd respect should bo set
to work nnd special efforts should be
made to Inform the senators of the
desires of tholr people , ns it Is In the
senate , If anywhere , that the pro
posed law will receive It defeat
GULF STREAM AND ITS COURSE
THROUGH THE OCEAN.
BRINGS WARMTH TO FAR LANDS
Many Irregularities are Known to Oc
cur In Doth the Direction and In the
Velocity of This Peculiar River of
the Atlantic.
Seamen sometimes seem to forget
that even the most permanent of ocean
currents are occasionally driven out of
their usual track by n succession of
I Iron K winds from one direction , and
the fairy tales with respect to the al
leged vagaries of the gulf stream told
BO frequently only tend to show that
navigators rather too fre iiiently re
gard that river In the ocean ns not less
firmly fixed In velocity and direction
than If It were flowing to the sea be
tween banks formed by the solid earth
of our planet. As u un tter of fact
ever since the gulf stream was first
dlscoveied about four centuries ago It
WIIH recognized by thoughtful naviga
tors that fixity of tenure did not and
could not hold for that vast body of
relatively warm water cushioned oft
from the Atlantic coast of America by
the colder waters of the Labrador cur
rent even us far toward the equator ns
Florida. Were It not for the gulf
at ream , or , more accurately , the east
ern extension thereof , the average air
temperature In the winter would be
not less than 20 degrees below the
freezing point of water on n Fahren
heit thermometer registered at the
Shetland Islands. As matters stand
the presence of the relatively cold cur
rant from the Arctic washing our
nborcs , Inside of the warmer gulf
Btrenm , closes up the harbors of New
foundland at the same time ns the gulf
stream extension Is keeping the Nor
wegian coast clear of lee even ns far
to the northward as the North cape.
To put It another way , St John's ,
N. F. , Is sometimes closed with Ice
' oven as late In the year as June , whllo
Liverpool , which Is li degrees farther
to the north , has never been In that
condition hliwo the glaelul epoch.
in fact , it lias been seriously sug
gested that by diverting the course of
the gulf stream Into the Pacific ,
through the narrow necls of land Join
ing the two Americas , It would be
quite possible to freeze out n consid
erable portion of Europe. TVe cool
Labrador current Betting southward
from the Icy regions adjacent to the
north pole Impinges with greater veloc
ity than usual upon the northern mar
gin of the gulf stream In certain years.
Cyclonic storms traveling up from the
southward deflect It also , nnd consequently
quently the gulf stream , although prob
ably the most permanent of all the
great ocean currents , is not invariable
either In velocity or In direction. Gen
erally speaking , this ocean river in the
lower latitudes of the Atlantic Is driv
en westward by the prevailing easterly
winds acting upon the sea surface un
til the western side of the gulf of Mexico
ice Is attained. Thence it follows the
land till an outlet Is found through the
strait of Florida , which , being both
narrow nnd shallow , causes the veloc
ity of the current to Increase. Thence
It sweeps northeastward outside of the
Labrador cool current hugging the
coast until the banks of Newfound
land are reached. About there the
gulf stream proper Is said to lose Its
Identity as such , but the warm waters
thereof are driven by the prevailing
westerly winds toward the Unltec
Kingdom , Norway and even Spltzber
gen. Many Irregularities are known
to occur In both the direction and the
velocity of the gulf stream from time
to time , consequent on wind changes
and variations in barometric pressure
Prior to the age of chronometers mosl
extravagant views were put forward
by navigators and others In a hurry to
the effect that by the aid of nn ordinary
thermometer the longitude could be ac
curately determined If the shipmaster
would but trouble to take a series of
sea surface temperatures when in the
vicinity of the gulf stream. Similarly
the sea surface temperature was re
garded in about the same geographies
position as an infallible guide to the
proximity of Ice. Neither Inference is
true. High temperature Indicates
tropical origin and low temperature In
dlcatcs polar origin generally speaking
but beyond this it is dangerous to pred
Icate. The relatively warm water
may be In a very abnormal position for
the period of the year owing to nature
causes , and a fall of 25 degress Fahren
belt Is sometimes experienced In a
short ship's length on the mingling
places of the warm gulf stream am
cold Labrador current on a beautifully
clear day without the slightest sign of
Ice of any kind above the boundary line
of sea and sky. Many a sailing ship
after vainly trying to reach New York
has got badly Iced up and run to the
warmer wnters of the gulf stream to
tbnw out both her crew nnd her gear
but neither the longitude nor the pres
cnce of Ice can be rightly determlne <
solely by the aid of sea surface tern
pcratures. Nevertheless tbo use of the
eea surface thermometer Is not to bo
despised , because It Is undoubtedly o
approximate assistance in defining a
chip's geographical position. The line
of separation of the two currents , the
cool Labrador and the warm gulf
stream , Is often noticeable either by
the vivid blue of the suiter gulf streau
In close proximity to the green color
of the fresher Labrador current or by
the ripple on the margin. It Is said
that a blockade runner from Wllmlng
ton , N. C. , when chased by a Federa
cruiser , innnntsvu to oscfipc by the ob
servation of this friendly ripple. The
blockade runner edged into the cur
rent more favorable for her , while the
cnil er kept In the adverse current nnd
lost the prlw. American Syren and
