ATTENDING STATE EAGLE AERIE
Col. J. J. Ryder Sings the Praises of
Nebraska to the Tune of Facts and
Figures Elected President of tbe
State Acrle.
In the person of Col. J J. H > der ,
head of Nebraska's bureau of labor
and statistics , Norlolk Is entertain
ing the state's official booster. Col.
H > dor Is In Norfolk ns a delegate to
the state aorle meeting for he was
elected president of tbe Lincoln norio
a few months after ho moved down
from Omaha nnd Thursday morning
was choosen president of tbe statp
aerie
Col. Ryder's chief mission in life
just now is to mnke Nebraskans proud
that they are Nebrnskans and to push
the whole slate Into the lime light.
When bo look hold of his department
down In Lincoln he dusted out the
olllee and got busy.
Nebraska's Worth.
"Nebraska is a great state , a solid
state , whoso great qualities we are
tr.\ing to publish to the world , " said
Col. Ryder today in explaining his
work. "Didou know that Nebraska's
products last yeaV wore worth ? . " 00-
000,000 ?
"When jott rolled that Nebraska
gains its wealth from tilling tbo sur
face of the earth , Mint the state has no
mines , no oil fields , just level fertile
prairies , the value of Its pioductsare
rather startling.
"How about Nebraska alfalfa ? The
crop last > onr was worth $12,000,000.
In this Held Nebraska has no equal.
Iowa dairy men nro feeding Nebraska
alfalfa with corn to their cattle And
tbe men who look upon the hog as a
money maker nnd not as a farm scav
enger nro feeding hogs alfalfa and
corn.
Nebraska and Kansas.
"Nebraska Is a greater corn state
than Kansas. Iowa , Missouri and
Illinois alone loifd us. Kansas does
raise more wheat than we do but our
average \ield last > enr was eighteen
bushels to thirteen in Kansas.
"While not as extensively pursued
as elsewhere Nebraska cannot bo approached
preached along the line of pure bred
cattle , hogs nnd chickens.
"The future of the great dairy In
terests of the state are just being re
alized.
Nebraska is a great , growing state
and west Nebraska Is making wonder
ful strides. No\t week I am going to
drive across the west end of the state
to see that section for mystelf in de
tail.
Kansas Advertises.
"Why is Kansas exploited ns the
great state of corn , wheat and plenty ?
Why Is the Kansas hen in the eastern
magazines ? Uocause Kansas for
years has gone In to systematic adver
tising Kansas appropriates ? 35,000
to ba\o this nnd similar work done.
Nebraska voted $ f(100 ! ( and attached n
labor bureau to the department. We
printed a fall bulletin last fall The
legislature authorised 4,000 copies and
there was a demand for 100,000.
"I am going before tbo next legis
lature to have this department given
proper support.
Child Labor Law Observed.
"As I said wo have to carry on
many lines of work on our slender
appropriation. T have to look after
fire escapes on public buildings. The
enforcement of the child labor law-
comes under the department. That
law. by the way , Is one of the best
observed laws on the statute book.
In fact this reform started before the
law The enl > decrease shown by the
federal census figures for Nebraska
was the decrease In child labor.
Smaller Cities Gain Factories.
"I am Interested In the industrial
development of Nebraska. In ten
years It will startle you And the
factories out In the west are spread
ing out among the smaller towns. This
Is very noticeable In Fremont , Grand
M.ii" ! and Hiatrice. for instance I
want to do what I can in this work-
in f.ict if Nebraska town ? will notlfx

Speech nt Lexington.
Mr. nrynn , in bis apoerh nt Lexlng-
'ton , rofeind , as ho occasionally has
done betme , to tbe tact that those in
the position of leaders get a larger
share of credit than they deserve ,
while the greater part ot the work
done by the rank and Ille escapes no
tice. He oulogl/od Senator -iFol- l -
lotto for his opposition to tbo emer
gency currency bill , saying : "Sonn-
ator LnFollelte is In sympathy with
the masses and has inado a great light
ugalnst great odds. They put him out
of the last Hepuhllcan national con
vention , and I can't predict what they
will do to him in the next ono.
"When the president pit Ked up Mr.
Tnft for eandidato ol bis party lor
piesldent , II he was looking lor an
honriialile gentleman , he could not
have done better , but if bo wab look
ing lor n rolormer be made a great
mistake. Mr. Tall says to extinguish
trusts means to extinguish industries.
Every farmer and every man who la
bors knows better than that Take ,
for Instance , the harvesto , trust It
don't care whether the farmer buys or
not It don't have a corner on every
thing the faimor buys , but it soon will
if lett alone If you woroMo extin
guish that concern would it destroy
every other concern that manufacture.1 !
farm Implements ? Congress Is vested
with power over Interstate commerce
and could contiol these trusts If tbe
business of tbe harvester trust was re
duced 50 per cent there would be com
petition which would result In cheaper
implements for the farmer , nuslneaa
would bo increased by tbo sale of
more Implements and more men would
be employed Thus competition would
help every element of society When
you exterminate trusts you revive
business insbad of destroying It"
Of currency legislation he said :
"Now come ? congtess to the relief
of the banks with nn omoigency cur-
ren'y When the campaign hngan to
