The first part of the work will helene lone at Columbus , where water wil be taken from the Loup for develop nient of the power. The projects il connection will be completed a Schuyler , Rogers , Fremont , Florenci ind north of Omaha. In all , the in dtistry in the aggregate will bo mon pretentious than the present powc : lilnnts at Niagara Falls or at Kookuk la. , on the .Mississippi river.

Par of the project has to do with powc development along the Platte , whil the other will bo operated on the Lou ; river. The fall from Columbus t Omaha on the former stream Is some thing more than HOO feet , according t Mr. I3abcock , and is .capable of deve ojiing such power as will surprise eve the best informed engineers of th state.

The registration for Mellette coun ladns was held last fall and that h mouse area of homestead acreage w offered under the usual governme plan at that time. The Rosebud r < orvation is recognized as wltho doubt as great an agricultural count as has even been given to the publ and in consariuenco those who we fortunate in drawing numbers entltlii them to homestead right in Mellet county will without question take .1 antago of the possibilities of beco ng real land owners. The justice in the selection White River as the point for the fill jpon these lands Is apparent.

So largo was the ciowd that three speakers were put Into Immediate action. Fiank G. Odoll addressed a large crowd In the city depot of the Northwestern road ; L. W. Leonard of Pawnee City ad dressed another crowd in one of the private earn and T. A. KolHHelbach of Lincoln took charge of another crowd- cc ! car. Those cars remained In front of the depot and after going over the entire corn crop situation in brief detail , the exports told the farmers with the aid of Illustrations how to test the corn for seed. The Norfolk farmers surprised the experts , who did not expect a large crowd. From the standpoint of the farmer , the seed corn specials are doing great work. "H is very good work ; I have enjoyed and benefited by listening to those instructions , " Is the sentiment expressed by ono farmer a senti ment which seems to be that of all the farmers visiting the corn seed spo- dal. Conductor Wadsworth had charge 01 the special train. Edward R. Rut- lor , trav.Mlng agent of the Northwest- i-rn road , was aboard the train , assist' Ing In making everything comfortable lor the visitors.

Washington , Feb. 28. Reversal of judicial decisions by popular vote , as proposed by ex-President Roosevelt in his Columbus address last week , v.as denounced in the senate today by Senator Raynor of Maryland as "the most dangerous doctrine ever brought forward by pnyonc who has the slight' ist regard for the stability of our in stltutions and whoso opinion is entitled led to any weight or respect. " Senator Raynor declared that ii : I discussing the ex-president , who agaii is a candidate1 for the republican noin ination for president , ho did not spoal * as a partisan , because ho believed tin republicans could nominate no mai who would be easier to defeat. "In tills address of the ex-presi dent , " said the senator , "there are r number of suggestions , such as tin election of senators by the people-am primary elections for the nominatioi of political candidates , with which entirely agieu. What I desire to cal attention to today is a unique and ori ginal conception which ho ndvnncci upon this occasion and which I quoti literally as follows : " 'The decision of a state court on i constitutional question should bo sul jcct to revision by the people of th < state. " 'If any considerable number o people feel that the decision is in dt fiance of justice , they should be give the right by petition to bring befor the voters at some subsequent ele < tion , special or otherwise , as mlgli be decided , and after the fullest oppoi tiinity for deliberation and debate , th question whether or not the judge interpretation of the constitution is t be sustained If it is sustained , we and good. If not , then the populn verdict is to be accepted as final , th decision is to be treated as reversei and the construction of the constlti tion definitely decided subject enl to action by the supreme court of tl : United States. ' "Mr. President , if a proposition i this sort had been advanced by ti ordinary agitator or by an anarc1 no attention would bo paid to it ; tl people would understand that it wi utterly meaningless , and it would 1 volvo no actual danger to the repu lieWo must realize , however , tin this is the utterance of a politic loader who occupies today ns pron nent a place before th public as ai it one in the country , who is gifted wi tremendous power , who comniam great popularity , and who for sev < years occupied the position of pro : dent of the United States and who now a candidate again for the c fice. Calls It "Crazy" Proposal. "I would like to accept the apolo ] that has been offered for him by 01 of the leading papers of the count t- when It says : " 'Wo shall pay Mr. Roosevelt t compliment of stating that we do n think he believes a word of the nc 10 souse ho uttered In this speech. ' it "Hut I cannot do so. I would ral 10 er accept the criticism of anoth jy great paper , which observes in its c te itorlal columns ns follows ; In co id manding to the attention of eve : re body this salient feature of his ; at dross : Do " 'We beg leave to remark that le. is the most astonishing and in t lie view of healthy Intelligence , the cr.i in est proposal that ever emanated el er from himself or from any otl te statesman since the organization ut our government by law. ' rs "I mn Inclined to think that t or last criticism goes perhaps a lit th too far when it says that it Is t ng craziest proposal that ever omanai on from himself , because I have fr ny time to time taken the liberty to s of- mit to the senate a number of otl leho proposals of the ex-president wh ho are equal to It in this regard. mt "People who regard this merely nd a flippant and Impulsive utterance a candidate for public office who trying to attract public favor , making a great mistake. In my ju iss ment , the ex-president has been all fleeting over this proposition he years and contrary to his usual < rts ( torn it is the result of profound sti : lal and investigation upon his part of th- judicial history of the country , of has always been hostile to the d slous of the courts whenever they coin tllctod with his own views and ho. has ever and ever again , In private ami In public , given expression to his op position to them. "Now , there Is a motive for all this , and thoto m a cause for this attack upon the ( munitions of tin1 land. I think I can toll you what It Is. It aris es from the fact that when Mr. ROOHO- \t-lt was president he was not allowed to influence and control the decisions of tlu ' 'ourts , and they declined to pass under the domination of his ar bitrary and imperious will. Of course , judges are only human ; they have * madu mistakes and their adjudica tions are not divine ; but ono thing they have clone to their eternal cred it , and that Is , that they have stood as a barrier between him and dicta torial usurpation. "During the whole of his administra tion ho had an Idea lingering in his mind that It was the duty of the courts to e-atry out the policy of the executive branch of the government and this belief was connected with another Idea , and that was , that so far as executive functions won ? con cerned ho was absolutely supreme , unlimited by the specifications of the Instrument that created them. Needed No Persuasion. "Now. what is tin1 present situation ? Mr. Roosevelt is a candidate for pres ident of the United States. There was no need of any persuasion what ever to induce him to enter the field , There was no dragging of Clnclnnatus from the plow and there was no nec essity that any Mark Anthony should thrice upon the Lupercal offer him the crown , lie was willing to como with his crown and frame a constitu tion of his own In accordance with the charming and alluring platform that ho has promulgated. 1 do not know what sort of a new party he will have If ho is nominated and elect ed. Wo have cpiite a number of par ties on hand now. There are republi cans and democrats and insurgents and progressives and radicals and re- nctionnrlcs and netuotios and pnrn- noiacs and another party will only add to the gayety and festivities ol the entertainment. "I had hoped that outbreaks like this were over when Mr. Roosevelt abdicated hie- place a few years ag < and started upon his restful and harmless loss expedition to the jungles of Afrl en to slaughter animals that provl denco had never created. Hero ho is however , and ho has come to stay I do not know what wo will do will our friend. "Would it be possible if ho consents to tender him to the new republic o China , In the- event of bis defeat am I am satisfied that , oven if nominal ed , ho will be easily defeated. I wouli almost bo willing to make a nev treaty for Chinese immigration i they would accept him in exchange. Would Make Him King. In order to "do away with a groa deal of unnecessary iiitermedlar ; process , " the senator said he had written ton a few amendments to the const tntion for the ex-president which h would like to tender him "if he i again called to the throne. " Thes amendments , from which read a length , would invest in the colonel a the powers of government , leglsh live , executive and judicial , in orde that he might properly govern th people "who have called upon me t I preside over their destinies , etc. " "Yon know what 1 believe , M President , " continued the senator. ' believe that there are a large niimbe of Mr. Roosevelt's followers in thl country today favor vesting in hh autocratic power. Our institutioi underwent a radical change under h administration. He inaugurated a no era of constitutional thought. lie a : nounced over and ever again , in d fiance of the unbroken decisions < the courts , that under the general we fare clause of the constitution co i- gross had the power to enact any le Mature that tended to the gener welfare of the nation. "Mako no mistake , " he conclude "I am not exaggerating the situatio He Is perfectly sincere and his m tlvo Is not corrupt one , and he w do this because ho is possessed wi d mad fancy that this Is and ought be an executive government , that tl powers of thr executive ought to ovc ride those of the legislative and jut clal branches of the public servic- - and what he proposes is not by en stltutlonal amendment , because 1 knows he cannot procure it but 1 all the patronage and all the pow and all the resources that he can co ) t maud to practically force upon t country an interpretation our i ganlc law that will level its distil tions and mutilate and obliterate checks and balances. He will then the pursuit of his own insatiable a bltion possess a degree of autocra power that no president of the United States has ever attained would have over dared to everclse , t cept at the risk of Impeachme Speaking for my own country a not for my party , speaking of the i tonomy and stability of our insti tions , speak'ing for the constitution of all of its parts , if we are to pass again under his yoke , with his o stretched arm under his latest utt le mice hanging over the seat of justl tie the refuge and bulwark of our instl cd tions , ready to strike It down , will im wanton attack upon Its Integrity th ib- In my judgment , it would have In iber er bettor If the constitution had ne ch been framed and its authors had n er attempted by nn apportionment as constitutional functions almost l of feet In their allotment to constr is an Indissoluble union of Indestru ire ble states.
