The rumor that Nebraska farmers
, ro tearing the rails from the rail-

It Is said that the talk of running
resident Roosevelt for another term
irlgitmted down In Texas. This might
10 taken to mean that the Iono Star

lilug can , In time , ho done , even In
Texas.
Mr. Bryan approves of the action of
ho Iroquols club of Chicago In enter-
alnlng the president and likewise
nkcs a stand In favor of the presl
dent's views on the matter of rail
road rates. The last days of the re
public cannot be In sight when great
[ inlltlcal lenders will express hnrmo-
: ilous views on the same subject.
With the retirement of Jeffries from
the prize ring It Is up to some of the
minor pugilists who have been afraid
of the big champion to put up claims
for the championship and prepare to
defend the title , and some heavy fight
ing In the heavyweight class Is to be
anticipated by those who delight In
the amusement furnished by the ring.
The farmers of the country can af
ford to feel n certain pride in the fact
that New York state Is out with an
appeal for more tillers of the soil. It
Is n certain sort of evidence that the
farmer Is rapidly approaching the
state where he can eclipse In power
and prosperity the wealth representei' '
on Wall street.
The pro-convention fight in the Sec

a fight of their own in other parts o if
the commonwealth.
The French railway men who hav
been attending the international rai
way congress express their delight I
everything American that they have
seen , but they have not yet said that
they would pull up their railroads nnd
transfer them to this country. Until
they do the Americans will bo in
clined to take their "taffy" with sev
eral grains of salt.
Mr. Bryan almost half way took the
stump for President Roosevelt last
year , but if the president ran In
and had his railroad rate platform to
too
stand upon , while someone like Judge ;
Parker took democratic nomination , it
would not bo astonishing If the former
leader of democracy should ho for
him without reservation when thonoxt
national context IB pulled off.
In response to the charge that
Franco linn been violating the neutral
ity laws , that country declares that
Japan and the United States are oth
ers In the mtino boat. It Is claimed
that .Inpan'B IIBC of Philippine waters

the coast of Cocbln-Chlna. Perhaps
Franco would like to walk out Into
the alley and Hay it to Uncle Sam's
face.
Jninefl .1. Jeffries Is ex-champion
In the pugilistic world. RhcunmtlHin ,
with malaria ns ( miner , has met him
and put him out In a few roundB. So
badly IIHH the fighter boon punished
that ho announces his retirement from
the stage along with that from the
prlzo ring. He will fight no more un
less , perchance , ho IB able to train
up and successfully meet the present
champion again and put him out.
The Blurting of the trans-Atlantic
yacht race has sot Sir Thorns Llpton
to thinking altout that American cup

tlio assertion that he has given up
the fight for the trophy. Ho says that
ho will BOOH have a design In hand
which ho hopes will bo preliminary to
thobulldlng of n winning boat. Ho
expects to keep after it ns long as '
he lives nnd his enthusiasm seems to
wnrrant the belief that he will provide
In his will for the construction of fu
ture cup racers.
There Is at least one Colorado wo
man who does not fully appreciate the
advantages offered her sex through
the granting of suffrage. She was
summoned to servo on a Jury In n di
vorce case but Ignored the writs nnd
was finally arrested and hi ought Into
court where she was immediately
elected by her fellow Jurors as fore
man of the tribunal. The pleasure of
serving on Juries nnd working out
poll tax should bo the shard of all
who are granted the right to vote.
According to the testimony before
the Interstate commerce commission
at Chicago , at least one member of
the packing house combine has ar
ranged to promptly steer clear of the
commissioners' power through a se
cret telegraph code that can put their
people on guard and head off any
thing that Is likely to prove damaging
to their Interests. The testimony of
the stenographer at the recent sitting
of the commission IB interesting , if it
docs not prove effective In showing
up the methods of the trusts.
Women who have succeeded in
growing out the hair on their heads
that was banged a few years ago will
bo interested , no doubt , to learn that
along with hoop skirts , It Is decreed
from certnln fashionable quarters that
bangs nnd curls nro to soon be nil
the rage. The now style of dressing
the hair Is called the "poodle dog ef
fect , " but that will not deter some of
the followers of fashion from coming
as near to the poodle dog look as pos-
slble , provided only that it Is the
fashion.
The fact that President Roosevelt
was entertained by the strongest dem-
ocrntlc organization of Chicago and
that the president responded with the
same spirit that characterized the In-
vltatlon may or may not Indicate that
the two had similar political views
and Inclinations , but it nt least means
that there are democrats and repub
licans who are broad enough and gen
erous enough to at times subordinate
their political differences and meet on
terms of friendship nnd equality. The
people of the country are gradually
approaching a higher plane nnd bet
ter understanding of one another , nnd
the time may come when men of all
political parties will , even In the
midst of n campaign be inclined to
treat their opponents with fairness
nnd courtesy.
New York claims to have It straight
that Governor Mickey Is about to sum
mon the state legislature in special
session to consider n freight rate bill.
Nebraska is , of course , as anxious as
other states to receive Justice In the
matter of freight rates , but It Is not
ns Impatient ns the New Yorkers ap
pear to believe. The matter can rest
until congress decides what it will
attempt to accomplish In the matter
nnd the regular session of the legis
lature will come in time sufficient to
prevent the railroads from getting a
corner on all the wealth of the state.
It certainly cannot bo what would
bo called n picnic exactly for the pres
ident to take n trip out through the
country nnd meet tbo demands of his
constituents. On the route the people
are out long bcforo the dawn to in
slst on catching a glimpse of the executive
ecutivo , and nt night they are up until
the \ree sma' hours for the same pur
pose , so that ho would not bo per
mitted to sleep at all if his clamoring
admirers had their way. President
Roosevelt's record in Chicago is un
doubtedly n fair sample of his stren
uous existence on the road. Out of
twelve hours and n half In that city
tlm president put In cloven nnd a
half hours In entertaining nnd being
entertained. One luncheon , three re
ceptions , one banquet , four carriage
rides and n conference with labor
lenders was the program ho had
dished up to him In tbo windy city.
John N. Baldwin , Burlington legal
advisor , has Informed the Intornatlon-
nl railway congress that no legislation
on the rnto question Is demanded
from the west. Mr. Baldwin should
return long enough to place his ear
to the ground nnd learn what the west
demands on this subject. It Is safe
to bellevo that about nine out of ten
people will consider that the Honor
able Mr. Baldwin has cither delib
erately fibbed to the congress , or that
he Is remarkably Ignorant on a sub
ject he pretends to nuthorltntlvely dis
cuss.
If It was not for the fact that Ne
braska has extra good underpinning
the millions of tons of water that have
been soaked Into Its soil nnd that are
held In the depressions of Its surface
might well bo calculated to sink the
commonwealth out of sight. If the
stnte could now bo picked tip nnd
wrung llko a dish rag It Is possible
that n lake Michigan would bo
squeezed from it. It is not desired
that the stnte should be treated In
that manner , but the weather man
might at least hang it out to dry for
a few days.
If any easterner can doubt that
"drouth-stricken" Nebraska can be
flooded It would be almost worth their
transportation out here to convince
them that they are both pig headed
and foolish. During the past decnde
Nebraska has had more flood than
drouth nnd the records are In hand to
prove that neither extreme has been
injurious to Its crop-producing qual
ities. In spite of every adverse clr-
cumstnnco the corn and the wheat
and oats , not to mention the swine
and kino , have been making prosper
ity records that have created bank
accounts , big of girth nnd tall of
stature.
The fraternities and churches have
taken an advance step for the caring
of consumptives by-establishing nsnn-
Itnrium nt Las Vegas , Now Mexico , for
the especial treatment of tbe great
white plague. Ten thousand acres of
land have been given by the city and
a million dollars is the contribution of
the Santa Fe railroad toward the en
terprise. The fraternities nnd church
es nro to keep up the expenses and
maintain the patients at the sanitari
um. It Is expected to bo able to ac
commodate 5,000 patients by next fall.
The . number will be Increased as rap
idly as funds can be raised to provide
for their care. It is n highly com
mendable ' scheme and will doubtless
prove the most worthy movement the
\sorld has ever seen.
Rockefeller Is now said to be in
favor f of a church trust , and thinks
that t religion nnd Christianity would be
benefited materially by doing away
with creeds and dogmas and getting
fewer fr nnd better church organizations.
r
There are ninny reasons to suppose
that t if this way of combining is good
for j business It will benefit religious
endeavors. In small towns , particu
larly j that could support one church
and do it well , it hampers the work
.o have three or four half-supported
jhurches , and with frequently no pas-
: ors. It has been an era when every
person or clique In a church having a
grievance withdraws and forms a new
society with the result that neither
they nor the original society prospers.
The fact that the Presbyterians , Bap
tists and other denominations are get
ting together would Indicate that Mr.
Rockefeller is not entirely original in
his ideas , and with this sentiment
working it is perhaps a mere matter
of time when not only the different
Presbyetrlan and Baptist churches ,
but the various denominations will get
together in one body and make of
themselves a strong and enduring
body.

What north Nebraska needs more
than an irrigation scheme is to have
good drainage opened to relieve the
Hood situation. There Is enough wa
ter backed up nt the present time to
effectually water several drouth Btrlck-
on states for a month or two. While
disagreeable , It Is a condition that haw
existed for several years and the sec
tions nffectod have continued to reg
ister In with bumper crops.
There nppenrs on the scenp a rail
road man who not only stands with
the president nnd the people but de
sires nothing hut justice In the mntter
of rates. His name Is A. B. Stlckncy
of the Great Western , and his state
ment Is In pleasing contrast to the
selfish tactics of some of his asso
ciates. He has filed with the sena
torial committee n statement In favor
of giving the Intcrstnte commerce com
mission the power to fix rates , and
says that the commission would bo
the most satisfactory arbiter possible.
Speaking of rebates , be says that
"since the injunctions the traffic di
rectors have stopped paying rebates
on grain shipments , but in lieu thereof
have paid elevator fees , which Is an
other way of giving rebates. " A gov
ernment commission , he says , would
bo untrnmmoled by competition or a
desire to secure tonnage for any par
ticular line nnd could frame an equit
able schedule. The people have faith
that there are other railroad men like
Mr. Stlckney but they have not yet
appeared , and until they do Mr. Stlck
ney will stand high In their estima
tion. They might all find it to their
advantage to stand for the Stlckney
principles and do ns he has done.
The more just men the railroads can
disclose , the more generous will be
heir treatment by the public.
There Is no surprise on the part of
quite n number of people that Secre-
ary of the Navy Morton should sud
denly decide that railroad work is
more congenial than holding a portfolio -
folio in President Roosevelt's cabinet
: eon after the return of the executive
rom his hunting trip. The views he
lias expressed on the railroad rate sit-
lation seem to have been ample ex
cuse for his retirement. Nebraska
would have been pelased immensely
f it had been found that President
Roosevelt had a firm supporter on rail-
oad rates and other questions In the
person of Mr. Morton , but If he could
not itbido by the president's program
the state is interested enough in that
position to desire to have him retire.
The state superintendent's office has
undertaken to encourage the school
children of Nebraska in agriculture
and nature studies by offering prizes
to be awarded in January for the best
results from the planting of seed corn
provided from the office. Each pupil
s provided with 500 kernels when he
makes his desire known of entering
the contest and from this planting the
judges are to make their decision In
January. The quality of the seed be
ing the same , it will depend on the
soil , the rainfall , the amount of cul
tivation and judgment of the planter
to bring the best results. The result
of the contest will be eagerly awaited ,
and the prizes are said to be well
worth trying for.
The greatest joke yet sprung on
the senatorial Investigating commit
tee that is inquiring into the freight
rate business Is the testimony that is
being given by shippers who have
been favored through the discrimina
tions against which the president and
the people have registered their em
phatic protests. They give it out
that the present arrangement is strict
ly satisfactory and that they wouldn't
have a change for the world. Com
ing from shippers , the railroad people
ple are confident that It will have a
satisfactory effect on the public , but
they are not as easily bamboozled as
might be supposed. It Is to be ex
pected that the shipper who has been
favored above his fellows will object
to a change of program. He is able
to do business that his competitor
caqnot touch and his power and
wealth have been increasing because
of his advantages in the field. He
has been taking the business and the
profits that should have gone to ri
vals if there was equality and justice
in the matter of rates. These fellows
now assume to speak for all the ship
pers ic their section of country and
demand that the present rates be
maintained. The senatorial commit-
mitteo seems inclined to take this tes
timony at its face value and accept it
as representing the sentiment of the
shipper in general , but the public has
quite a different conception of the
matter and will not deliver Judgment
on any such testimony. They would
much prefer the statements made by
the railroad men themselves , who , at
least have no covert motive in de
manding conservatism.
