The farmers of the United States are with President Roosevelt and his poli- What a tower of strength! Evekithixq republican from Maine to California. Hoopee! A solid north against a solid south is a sure winner for Roosevelt in 1904. The glowing editorials we hare been reading in fusion papers about W. J. Bryan making-votes wherever he spoke i to have had no foundation in fact The republicans will have thirty majority in the next house of representa tives and fourteen in the senate. In the late election President Roosevelt's poli cies have been strongly indorsed by the eoantry, no such compliment to a presi dent in an off-year since the election of 187a Miss Inkes of Fremont, a niece of Mrs. demmons of that city, was the fortunate winner of a 81,000 prize from the pub lishers of the Brown Book. The com pany informed her a few days ago of her good fortune and wrote that she had the only correct answer out of thousands of contestants. The war department recently sent out a statement to the effect that the oppor tunity of a great future for the Philip pines was growing brighter every day. Thia is all due to the elevating influences brought about by the policy of civiliza tion advanced and advocated by the republican party. Considerable corn has already been husked in the vicinity of Fremont and many farmers report the quality of the corn much better than anticipated. There is not much soft corn, but some that is not well filled out. Some farm ers claim that the average yield will run np to sixty bushels per acre. i An interesting experiment was made recently, says the Philadelphia Medical Journal. ' A pint of various fruits was picked at random from one stand, wash ed, and the washing analyzed. From the pint of fruit 1130,000,000 germs were secured, and that publication suggests that's the place to get your microbes! If busts persist in overcapitalization, the Indianapolis Sentinel suggests that taxes be assessed on the property at the valuation placed upon it by the trust. It the property of a trust is worth $1,000,000 for bonding and stocking it ought to be worth 91,000,000 for the pur poses of taxation. Well, that's not so bad. The election of J. H. Mickey by such a large majority in an off year, notwith standing the opposition of many repub licans who were in a position to do harm, the saloon element of the state, who left no stone unturned to elect their "Little Giant," proves to all fair-minded men that this certainly is a sure republican state. Stand up for Nebraska. C. D. Caspeb of the David City Press in closing an editorial on the recent election in that county deplores the fact that the republicans were successful in carrying the county when several years ago the fusionists boasted of a thousand majority, saya: "It is not easy to smile with your mouth full of quinine, but that is what fusionists must learn to do." Rehtbucaxs read with amusement the declaration of Judge Howard in the Columbus Telegram that the railroads, '"booted and. spurred," are now in pos .aeaaion of the government of Nebraska. The record of the fusion party in this kale on the railroad question is one of the things that has brought about its defeat year after year since 1897. State Journal. The following dates of incidents will be of interest to the student of history.

Such a ball is sometimes composed of hundreds ef enakes so closely interwoven aa to be suite dimcult to separate. November Woman's Home Companion. - It will be a surprise to most persons in the east to learn from the report of Ceuuauaeioner Hermann of the general land osace that more homestead lands were given to settlers in 1901-1902 than in any previous year says the New York World. Uncle Sam still "has land fluofu to give ns all a farm." He gave way 19,488530 acres last year enough teaaakel20,000average "quarter section" tanas and to support 1,000,000, including fnuulies and farm laborers.

President Roosevelt has been indorsed by the American people. In the elec tions last Tuesday every republican state of the middle west and the northwest gave more than the accustomed off year majority for republican candidates. In New York, where the moat deter mined fight was made by a reunited democracy against the Roosevelt poli cies, and most particularly againat hie policy toward the trusts, the republican majority is as large aa it waa in 1898, when Roosevelt himself waa a candidate for governor. In all the large cities of the country except Boston, in all the strong states, including Pennsylvania and Indiana, the republicans have gained ground. The main contest was on congress. Here national issues were at the front, and the fact that the fifty-eighth congress will have probably aa large a republican majority aa the fifty-seventh is the strongest possible indorsement of Pres ident Roosevelt and his policies. In the results in the several states and in the heavy vote in the congressional districts, President Roosevelt will read the verdict of the people. He has won. The seal of the nation's approval is upon him. Chicago Inter Ocean. AS TO IRRIGATION. In an address by George H. Maxwell before the Omaha Commercial club recently on "Reclamation of the Arid Region" he said: "In the next two years there will be about $10,000,000 available for construc tion because we started with a fund of nearly $6,000,000 when the bill was passed. This fund of $10,000,000 is aa much as can be wisely expended during the next two or three years. It will be enough to build a few great reservoirs and main line canals as object lessons to prove the truth of our claims to the eastern people of what can be accomplished by national irrigation. It is not material where these projects may be located. Our association will back up the Interior Department in any selec tion they may make. But the people of any section of the west who unite their forces can do much to promote the con struction of any particular project if it MMConon every merit and promise of success. I would urge the organization of a section of the National Irrigation Asso ciation in every city and town in the west to study and to teach the true principles of thia whole irrigation prop aganda. It is not limited to government con struction. It covers the whole field of private irrigation enterprise; of the organization of water companies; of the betterment of our laws of water along right lines; of artesian development and of pumping for irrigation from every underground source. And last but not least it takes in tha whole field of forestry. The bleak plains of western Nebraska should be dotted with forest groves planted by Uncle Sam. Every farmer should be induced to plant trees and then to plant more trees. The children in your schools should be taught to love the trees and to preserve those we have and plant more every year until the whole state of Nebraska is dot ted over with groves of beautiful trees." In an article occupying almost a col umn The Columbus Telegram relates that several section men working for the Union Pacific railroad were taken out of town on election day before the polls opened and not returned until it was too late to vote. These men, The Telegram says, would have voted for W.H.Thomp son for governor and were anxious to do so, but the corporation cormorants blocked the game and for base partisan purposes deprived them of their sacred right as citizens of this republic If Howard is right, the Union Pacific rail road company ought to be ashamed of itself. These men were entitled to ex press their choice of law-makers and executive officers with the same freedom accorded to the patriots of Lincoln who went to the polls and forgot to vote for W. B. Price for county attorney. But let us analyze the vote of Columbus and see if Judge Howard in his mad haste has not made a mistake. In the First ward, where we once ran for alderman and received 54 votes against 185 for August Boettcber, 66 ballots were cast for J. H. Mickey to 222 for W. H. Thomp son. If any of Mr. Thompson's sup porters were kidnaped in the First ward, you will have to give us their names and when, if ever they were naturalized. The Second ward shows 74 for Mickey and 132 for Thompson. This isn't so bad, but it is so emphatically democrat ic that one must be a political ingrate who would cry for more. But here is the mysterious feature of the returns. The Third ward of the city of Columbus has always been republican. In the past it has stood pat when all other parts of the county went plunk and look at it now, 105 votes for Mickey to 136 for Thompson. There are but two ways to account for this remarkable decadence in the morals of the Third ward, either republican voters were de bauched by the use of democratic money or some of them were spirited away in the early hours of the morning and kept in hiding until after the mischief was accomplished. The Third ward of Co lumbus is in disgrace for having per mitted so great a calamity to come to pass at a time when no man could offer a plausible excuse for voting the demo cratic ticket Bixby in State Journal The folowing from the Fremont Trib une gives an account of an old-time Nebraskan, well known to many Jour sal readers in this section: "Seth P. Mobley, formerly of Grand Island, for thirty years in the newspaper business there, was in the city Tuesday night, a guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Tracy. Mr. Mobley baa for a little more than three years been in the revenue service in Manila. In August he was granted a vacation, to come home on a visit. He has since then been making the journey. He came by way of the Suez canal and the east, being on the ship seventy days to Boston. After visiting a week or two at Grand Island he will resume his journey, reaching Manila again about Christmas. Mr. Mobley is looking the picture of health. The climate there agrees with him perfectly, and with the members of his family. He is chief of the consular and statistical department of the Philippines customs service, hav ing about twenty clerks under him. The revenues of the islands, he says, areauScient to meet the requirements for all purposes except the maintenance of the army, they being about $4,000,000 a year. One who baa been in the islands he saya, aa long aa I have, can actually see the stages of progress aa they come into being. I think it positively is a fact that in the last twelve months there has been more progress than in any twelve years in the previous history of the city of Manila and adjacent territo ry. A vast amount of building is going on; American thrift and induatry is pro jecting into all channels. When we went to the islands we found them asleep. The old natives and Spaniards were lost in a lethargic dream and cared little or nothing for commercial or industrial advancement But these fellows have been awakened by American ways and now they are assimilating these modern customs with commendable progress. The better class of the natives have learned that it is to their own advantage to become Americanized aa rapidly aa possible and these now show a remarkable anxiety to acquire all the knowledge they can." State Woman Sairaga CwTemtieu. The twenty-second annual convention of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Asso ciation will be held in Teeumseh, Dec. 2, 3 and 4.

One of the most cold-blooded and hor rible crimes ever committed in Platte county was the murder of Gerhard Bor chers, a well-to-do farmer living three miles northeast of Humphrey, a week ago last Friday. The murder waa com mitted by the step-eon, Herman, who had purchased a shot gun the Wednesday before for the premeditated purpose of taking the life of bis step-father. Two younger boys were parties to the crime, but claim that the older one committed the deed. The boys are Herman, aged 14, August aged 12 and John, 8 years old. Mrs. Borchers, the mother of the boys, died last spring leaving an infant and four other children to mourn the loss of a mother and wife. His intense feeling in the death of his wife deeply affected Mr. Borchers and the gloom and sadness that pervaded the home ia probably the cause of this unnatural occurrence. It is hard to believe that three young boys could have planned and executed so dreadful a crime without the sad condi tion of absence of kind home influences. The story aa told by the boys, after going through a cross-questioning by Sheriff Byrnes, is about as follows: The boys bought a shot gun the Tuesday before, hiding it in the barn. About 9 o'clock Friday morning Herman quietly slipped up behind his step-father, firing about six inches from his head killing him instantly. The boys then dragged the body, out of the house, thence to an old straw stack, and placing a load of fresh straw on top of the body, set fire to it On Saturday the boys went to town and wanted to purchase a water tank of a merchant but he refused to sell it to them without an order from their father. The boys stated they did not know where their father. was that he had left home. Friends of Mr. Bor chers were notified, and after a search the charred body of the man was found in the burned straw stack. Sheriff Byrnes was notified and a close investigation made. After cross-examination of the boys the above story waa got from them. The coroner's jury composed of D. T. Bobison, Charles Schueth, Nels Peter eon, Peter O'Shea, Jacob Fischer and Con Heesecker, with Dr. McKinley aa acting coroner, rendered a verdict accus ing Herman Borchers of the crime and implicating August and John aa parties to the murder by the fact that they knew and had discussed among them selves and pre-arranged the murder. Herman and August are in the jail here but John, the youngest son, was allowed to return home with hie uncle, George Borchers. The funeral of Mr. Borchers waa held Sunday morning in Humphrey from the German Baptist church of which he waa a member. The deceased wss highly respected bv all who knew him and waa never known to be cruel to hia family. He waa about 53 years old and a native of Germany.
