THE OXLY WAV.
The doty of republicans and all
others who believe in the policies
and the administration of Roosevelt
is to sustain the president not only
by voting for him but by voting for
republican congressional and legisla
tive candidates. And in this state.
district and county a vote for a re
pablican congressman and member of
the legislature it of more valao than
a vote for Roosevelt. President Roose
velt will bo a power for good whether
he is suptortcd by the house and Ben
ate or not ; bnt his power and opportun
ity will be more than doubled if he is
backed by a working majority in both
houses of congress. If the voters of
this county believe in Roosevelt, and
want a continuance of the most brilli
ant administration siuce the days of
Andrew Jackson, they must vote for
Congressman McCarthy and for the
legislative ticket which will help to
elect a republican to the United States
Senate. Roosevelt does not need votes
in Nebraska this year, but he will
need the support of Nebraska congress
men and senators in the years to fol
low, and Nebraska needs the prestige
and influence which she will get from
a republican congressional delegation
under a -republican administration.
THE SOLID WEST.
The expected lias happened in the
democratic national convention, and
. the contest for the presidency has
been narrowed down to the state of
New York. Judge Parker is probably
the strongest man, aside from Cleve
land, that the democrats could have
named, as far as his chances for carry
ing New York are concerned. He is
backed and vouched for by David B.
HiU, the master democratic politi
cian of old New York state, and he
has been endorsed in a published
statement by Grover Cleveland.
For the first time in a generation
there is a companion section to the
Solid South. This year the West is
jast as solid for Roosevelt as the Soath
is for Parkor. Roosevelt is jart as
safe throughout the Western states as
Blaein or Tom Reed used to be in the
atate of Maine, and any white man
labeled ''democrat" is securely in
' possession of the Solid South. With
.Bryan as a candidate against Roose
velt, and silver dead,' the democrats
would have carried the Solid Soath
and nothing else; with Parker, they
-have some hope of New York and New
Jersey, the states where the money
power holds sway, and a diss and
desperate longing alvaoat a hope
directed toward Indiana and Illinois.
That democracy's case is desperate
ami beyond hope is and has bee for
year admitted on all sides. It is
only a question of how near they
can come to "a respectable showing.
They will have the support of Wall
Street and of Tsatsssny in New York
city, and of the trust sgaafes and
railroad corporations pretty generally
throaghoat the country. ' Opposed
to this sapport wUl he that of the
uaases, the common people of the
ooaatry.who hare always bean irresis

be disorganized by the lower prices ;
the profits of dairying will be de
creased by the higher price of mill

merchants will suffer with the farm

closing of the mills. This is no fancy
of the imagination. It is a real con
dition which is confronting the mill
ers and Nebraska farmer. The milling
industry is the third largest in the
United States. The capacity of
American mills is 850,000 barrels a

these mills can grind l.iOO.OOO.OOO
bushels of wheat. The average crop
of the United States is about G50,

enough to fully supply American
mills. If the policy of discrimina

Oar courts decided in the famous
Granger cases that the state can de

up to the millers and farmers of Ne

vote in congress to strengthen the arm
of the Interstate Commerce Commis

rates on interstate commerce and to

This is a year in which the presi
deatial campaign cannot disturb busi
ness. Sometimes the canvass unsettles
trade, although in general the. harm
ful effects of an exciting campaign are
'exaggerated. In 16 the canvass had
a detrimental effect on the finances
for a while. This was because there
was some doubt about tho strength
of the fight which Bryan would put
np. It was felt, of course, that the
succecs of the democrats would be
disastrous to trade. Usually a dem
ocratic victory is damaging to busi
ness, bnt in 18DG it would have been
particularly harmful on 'account of
the free silver menace with which
the democracy was identified in that
year.
But the canvass has no portent - in
1901. Every sane person in tho United
States sees that the republicans are
going to carry the country this year.
There is not the faintest probability of
democratic victory. The conservative
democrats who in 169G and I'.KM) pray
ed for democratic dofcat. will not
need to have any uneasiness regarding
the result this year. Some of them
will vote for Roosevelt, and tho re
publican party will be glad of this.
The republicans stand ready to re
ceive aid from any repeciable quarter
from which it may come. Republican
victory in 11)04, however, i certain
even if every democrat votes for tho
St. Loais ticket.
Business is fairly active at tho pres
ent time. It will improve ns the
weeks and months pas3, and will pro
bably be much better in the fall and
winter than it is now. There is noth
ing in the canvass on which to raise
any specter of peril to tho fi nancer.
The only question about the republi
can campaign is the dimensions of
the party's victory. There may be
some donbt as to whether Roosevelt
in 1904 will get tho 137 majority in the
electoral college bst the ohauces are
that he will equal or beat that re
cord. In any case the continuance of
republican sway for at least four years
longer is as certain as any political
event of the near future can be.
With the republicans in power" busi
ness prosperity is assured, and republi
can control of the government until
March 4, 1909, is no longer open to
doubt. St. Louis Globa-Democrat.
Eight Years of Drought .
Eight years of drought in Southern
Arizona according to the latest report
of tho United States Geological Survey
have worked to drive tho cattlemen
and sheepmen from the country. Tho
report says :" Water is vory scarce.
Eight years ago the reserve was com
paratively well watered but successive
seasons of drought have rendered it
exceedingly dry, and unless a change
for the better occurs cattlemen and
sheepmen will desert tho country.
Numerous small areas wore once profi
tably farmed, but in recent years the
lack of rainfall has caused a marked
decline in agriculture. Grazing, tho
main industry of this and adjacent
regions, has suffered greatly from con
tinued droughts. Tho only remaining
areas which are used solely for cattle
range are on Blue and Salt River and
Eagle Greek. Tne best growth of
wild forage grasses are nearly always
fonnd at some distance from waier,
and are consequently not available for
stock which are unable to mzko the
trip from water to pasture.
The Verde slope, in the Beaver
Creek watershed, is an example of
repeated overstocking. This district
was formerly a source of great wealth
to settlers in that vicinity, bnt the ex
cessive number of cattle and horses
grazed in it has finally resulted in the
complete annihilation of the posture.
Unless stringent rulos are adopted to
regulate the number of stock and the
areas on which, they shall bo grazed
on each permit, this condition will
sooner or later prevail throughout
the reserve."

THE SPIRIT OF INDIA.
la of Mo Aceoaat to fhs
ias ( TaaasM aa Tcnsploa.
The ancient fcmples and tombs of
India with their intricate carving are
the marvel of all who see them, says
the author of "Cities of India," and the
wonder of the beholder grows when be
realizes that the enormous- blocks of
marble and sandstone have been
dragged, by band in many cases, up
steep and lofty cliffs.
Some years .ago Mr. Forrest, while
walking through a remote village of
the Deccan. noticed a large stone pillar,
richly carved, lying by the roadside.
He asked the origin and destination of
the monolith. It was for the porch of
a temple on the brow of a precipice
two miles away, overlooking the ham
let "The villagers drag It," said the head
officer of the place, "on great festival
days.. In tny lifetime, sahib, tbey have
moved it 100 yards. And see bow much
carving they have done."
He pointed to some eight Inches of
wonderful decoration. The officer was
nearly fifty years of age. and the trav
eler looked iu astonishment, wondering
bow long before the pillar would com
plete Its journey. An old Brahman
standing by noticed bis expression.
"You English are in such a hurry."
he said. "There arc the ages of brass
and the age of iron. Tbey come and
they go. 'Others have come and gone
their way. and so will you. But the
pillar will rrtich the temple."
His reply v::s the spirit of ancient
India, which takes no heed of today,
but, having set about the construction
of such a monument, goes .steadily at
work, satisfied to devote a thousand
years to it if the temple be worthy to
endure when it is done.
LEFT HANDED CHILDREN.
Do Hot Try to Force Then to Beeosne
RiKfat Handed.
I have never seen anything .but bad
results from the attempt to train chil
dren to use the right hand instead of
the left when 'there is a decided tend
ency or habit to be left handed. More
over, the attempt is never successful.
The best consequences are poor and
are only awkward mixtures of the two
forms, which yield confusions and in
decisions during the entire subsequent
life. One is that of a naturally left
handed friend who; by arduous and
continuous training during his child
hood, was compelled to write with bl
right hand. For all other acts 'he is
left banded, but he cannot use his left
hand for writing. Although now past
fifty he has always hated any writing,
the mere act of doing so. and he ca:
not do any original thinking while
writing. He is for this purpose com
pelled to rely on a stenographer, and
then his ideas flow freely and rapidly.
If ho tries to think, plan or devise and
to write at the same time there is a
positive inhibition of thought and he
must make sketches, epitomes, several
efforts, copyings, etc., in a painful and
most unsatisfactory manner. The at
tempt at ambidexterity has been a life
long obstacle to him in bis profes
sional progress.
The chief centers most closely Inter
related in writing and thinking are
thus demonstrably better harmonized
when in. one side of the brain. The
mechanics of neurology are plainly less
difficult than could be achieved by
any foolish and unsuccessful ambi
dexterity. Dr. G. M. Gould in Science.

THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Tradltleaa That It Will Last but Six
Taeaaaad Yrarn.
There is a general ami widespread
notion, which the curious investigator
will find scattered throughout both
mediaeval and modern literature, that
the world will last 0,000 years from
the date of its creation. An inscrip
tion in one of Martin Luther's books
reads as follows: "Elijah, the prophet,
said that the world had existed 2.000
years before the law was given (from
Adam to Moses), would exist 2,000
years under the Mosaic law (from
Moses to Christ) and 2,000 years under
the Christian dispensation, and then
it would le burned."
In the Etrurian account of the crea
tion (by Suidas) I find a similar tra
dition: "Tho Creator spent ,000 years
In creation, and 0,000 more are allotted
to the earth."
In the black letter edition of Foxe's
"Acts nnd Monuments" there Is a
whole sermon given, with the 0.000
year limit of the earth's duration as a
text. (See above work, editlou of
1032.)
Some writers contend that the "six
days" referred to in Holy Writ really
mean 0.000 years, and that the "sev
enth day" is a type of the coining mil
lennium, or "Sabbath of a thousand
years." The psalmist says. "For a
thousand years are in thy sight as yes
terday." (Psalm xe, 4. See also II
Peter Hi, &)-St. Louis Republic.

Small singing birds live from eight to
eighteen years. Ravens have lived for
almost a hundred years In captivity,
and parrots longer than that. Fowls
live ten to twenty years. The wild
goose lives upward of a hundred years,
nnd swans are said to have attained
the age or 300. The long life of birds
has Ihmmi Interpreted as compensation
for the great mortality of their young.

cea Used la War.
There are at least two recorded In
stances In which bees have been used
as weapons of defense in war. When
the Roman general Lucullus was war
ring against Mithridates, he sent a
force against the city of Themlscyra.
As tbey besieged the walls the inhabit
ants threw down on them myriads of
swarms of bees. These at once began
an attack, which resulted in the rais
ing of the siege. These doughty little
insects were also once used with equal
success in England. Chester was be
sieged by the Danes' and Norwegians,
but its Saxon defenders threw down on
them the beehives of the town, and
the siege was soon raised.
