The Columbus: Telegram and Journ al are devoting considerable newspaper apaoe each week to defending and ex posing grafts and frauds. It makes sensational space filler, but why don't the Journal invoke the majesty of the law to prove its charges and bring the multitude of boodlers and grafters it Mas found, tinder the lime light of psblic scrutiny? Yes why don't it? 'Madison Chronicle. Our brother of the Chronicle has evidently not followed very carefully the editorial pageti of either the Journ al or the Telegram, hence he is par donable for making some wrong infer ences. The Journal confesses to pointing out some specific instances of "graft" In Platte county and writing the names of the grafters very plainly. But if the Chronicle editor r-as ever discovered any denial of our charges or any defense of the grafters in the Telegram, he has a better micro scope than ours. The Journal Has already brought these instances of graft " under the lime light of public scrutiny" more effectively than it could by "invoking the majesty of the law. " The Journ al can prove every one of its charges in a court of law. But what's the use when our charges are admitted to be true by the men whom acts have been questioned? It would be like trying a man after he has pleaded "guilty." Of course any tax-payer can go into court and recover money paid out illegally by the county super visors. And any tax-payers is at lib erty to verify the Journal's charges from the county records. But it has become well established custom amour the American people to administer punishment at the polls for the abuse of a public trust. The ballot box is just as effective and a little cheaper than a court of law. That's "why." TEDDY AND THE TRUSTS. It begins to look as though there might be some trouble ahead for the richest man in the world, and some trouble also for the members of the beef trust. One Theodore Roosevelt has taken up the matter of these two vampires, with the understanding that all laws.whichcan be found hav ing application to the case will be ad ministered without regaid to persons, saoney or Sunday school affiliations. One very interesting provision of the much discussed Sherman anti-trust law is a section which is called the criminal section of the act. This enumerates certain offenses which mast be atoned by imprisonment of the responsible men of the corporation committing the offenses. The prac tical working of this provision may be appreciated by a comparison be tween what might have happened in the case of the beef trust in Missouri last year and what actually did hap pen. Thepackers' combine was found guilty of violating the law and each one of the companies in the combin ation was fined the sum of $.1,000, which, as a magazine writer points out, was to them comewbat less than five cents would be to the ordinary citizen. That is what actually hap- What might have happened to take several members of the Armour, Swift and Cudahy families and give them steady employment in the twine factory at JeffersonCity.Mo. for a year or two. It is very easy to imagine whether this would inculcate in these gentlemen a greater measure of respect for the law than a fine of 5.000. The Standard Oil has so far evaded very law which has been aimed at it. The trouble seems to be that we have ever had a law which was construct ed to deal with monopolies alone. A law framed in general terms would hurt the smaller concerns before it would touch the Standard. Every asaa who is in business is trying with all his might and main to put his competitors out of business, just what Rockefeller is doing, or rather has already done. When pablic sentiment gets to the point where it will compel congress to legislate directly and smMifioallygainEt monopolies, some thing may be done. The mere fact that Standard Oil has attained its present position right in the face of one continuous law-suit proves 'that the laws are inadequate or have not been enforced. The State of Kansas is embarking in-the oil refining bus iness as a 'Competitor of Brother ' "Rockefeller. The State of Kansas ex pects the federal government to com pel the trust to play fair. The pres Meat .has instructed Commissioner Uarield to make a careful examination and report. Ths country is awaiting developments with an idea that there will be something doing. On one aide is overwhelming popular senti ment, led by the most progressive and popular president since Lincoln; on the other side is the greatest aggre nation of money power in the history af the world. The developments will rely be interesting and instructive. la very f oolif h to be a grand WHENWILL THEY PUT IT BACK? Whan Patrick E. McKillip cuts his hair.

The bill passed by the bouse of rep resentatives makes an appropriation for naval expenditures of nearly f 100, 000,000 and provides for two battle ships. This is a considerable reduc tion from the department estimates which contemplated three battleships. The administration is understood to have been quite insistent upon the program of the' Navy department for enlarging the navy, but owing to.the prospective treasury deficit and the general sentiment in favor of keeping down expenditures wherever it was practicable to do mo without injury to the public service, a good deal of op position arose among the republicans to the department's recommendations. Whether or not a like feeling exists among the senate republicans is not known, but it is probable that body will not support the three-battleship recommendation of the department. The question of naval appropriations has come to be one of commanding interest. The prevailing sentiment in the country is unquestionably in favor of maintaining and gradually enlarging the navy. We cannot safely permit any weakening of our sea pow er. But there is also a feeling that we should not build up the navy at the expense of other important public in terests. In a speech by Representa tive Littlefield of Maine he presented figures showing that naval appropri ations for 1898-1905,inclusive, amount ed to over tG81.000.000 and he pointed I out chat in point of tonnage we shall be the third naval power in the world when the Teasels now authorized are completed, exceeded only by Great Britain and France, while in the mat ter of efficiency we shall perhaps be second. There are some who think that the United States ought to take first place among the naval owners but it is doubtful if a majority of the people are ready to approve such a policy of expenditure as would be necessary to give us that position. We should not permit the navy to decline and there is no likelihood that this will be permitted at any time in the future. On the other hand there is no good reason for rushing naval en largement especially if in order to do so other interest must be neglected or receive less consideration than is de manded in the public welfare. The house naval appropriation is sufficiently liberal under existing con ditions and it is perhaps safe to say it will be increased by tne senate. Omaha Bee. DOES IT PAY. The Eighteenth Annual Bulletin of the Nebraska Experiment Station, just published, contains some striking re sults which should interest every farmer and lead him to send a request to the Experiment Station.at Lincoln, asking for bulletins published at this Station. The Station makes the fol lowing statements regarding a few of the results of experiments carried on at the Station. The winter wheat production of the State has increased 10.000.000 bushels per vear, due largely to the work of the Experiment Station. Kherson oats, introduced from Russia by the Station, out yield the common varieties by ten bushels per acre in central Nebraska. Experiments with corn to secure better adapted varieties have increased the yield 10,000.000 to 30,000,000 bushels, and will result in still further increase. Experiments at the Station prove that land which has been seeded to alfalfa will grow from 10 to 35 bushels more corn per acre than other lands. Apple scab has been almost perfectly controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Cedar rust on apple trees has been controlled with Bordeaux mixture. Straw mulches have greatly increased the yield of garden vegeta bles and improved the quality of cab bage, tomatoes, beans and cucumbers. Milk fever has been treated with practically no loss, by inflating the udder of the cow with air when the first symptoms of the disease appear ed. Feeding experiments have shown that alfalfa hay and corn is the most economical ration for fattening steers. Tnis ration gave a profit of fSper head more than where corn and prairie hay was fed. Extensive experiments in feeding al falfa nav with grain to hogs are now in progress which show the great economic value of alfalfa when fed in connection with a grain ration. Eigteen thousand hand separators have been purchased by farmers in the last six years, and the number of cows used for dairy purposes has in creased 200.000 in this time. One hundred and fifty farmers in stitutes will be held during the season of 1904-1905, if sufficient funds are available. You can secure tne bulletins of the Experiment Station free by writing to the Director of the Agri cultural Experiment Station, Lincoln, Nebr. THE ORIGINAL CONSTITU TION. A. E. Sheldon,dlrector of field work for the NebraskalStateHi8torical So ciety some time ago dug out of the "dust and gtoom"of a state house vault the minute of the constitutional con vention of 1871. Mr. Sheldon writing of these documents says'They areof rare and stirring interest. The great questions of, public policy and inter pretation argued today in our courts and upon our platforms, revenue, cor poration liability and control.munici pal instttlutions were there debated by such giants of young Nebraska as Mason, Maxwell, Anderson, Woolworth, Weaver, Wakely, Lake, Boyd, and many others now noted." Mr. Sheldon also has all the original matter relating to the conventions-of 1864, I860 and lS75,except the minutes of the 1875 convention which framed our present constitution. The Hcnse of Representatives, by resolution, has transferred this matter to the Stato His-torinal Society for publication. It will fill ihree large voloms and cost about$.'500 to print it. It is highly important to preserve theso invaluable historical documents and to have them priutui while there are survivors whu may be consulted and who may road proof. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the senate fi nance committee will report favorably for the small appropriation required for this important work. SQUELCHED AGAIN. We have been called down again, and called down good and plenty. We had thought that we had reached the limit of earthly triLulation in the sorrowful compassion which the Ar gus has extended to us, the silent dis dain of the Telegram and the crushing sarcasm of the German Supplement. But it seems not. Here cometh one from afar off, even from Merrick county, and lands on us with both hands and both feet, not to mention punctuation marks. We have always believed in giving both sides of a question, even though we get the worst of it thereby. Ac cordingly we herewith print, verba tim et litteratim, a communication which w have just received from an outraged citizen : Central City, Neb.. Feb. 23, 1905. To the Editor of Colombus Journal, Columbus, Nebr. Dear sir: it wonld be much easer for a Republican Editor to go through the Eye of a ueadip. than to tell the truth about W. J. Brran. the onley cose for this strange coincident is in the fact that Mr. Br van. is sn much larger inteilectcaly than the average Republican Editor he is not able to understand him. to i-ooipair a Repub lican Editor to Mr. Bryan world be like comparing alieh'ning Bag of a Dark night to the Glaring sunrayp. of the nocuday snn, they have served corporations fo long that thare minds has become warped, nieacy of them now has conicntcU to denounce Mr, Rosevelt for his reform Ideas, they will soon be calling hitn a nanacrhist for trying to infon-a Democratic Prin caplcs. Yours Vev Respectfully, M. D. HADDOX. INDIVIDUAL Oli COMMUNAL. Oar constitutions, federal and state, stand for a minimum of goverument, a maximum of individual liberty. The makers of our constitutions had suffer ed the ills of too much government, and tney naturally could not foresee the ills of too much individual liberty. Unhampered by government re straints, strong individuals and groups of etrong individuals have grasped so much of wealth and power that many of us are led to fear lest these strong individuals, whom in organization we call trusts, may become stronger than government. The agitation, for federal control, for municipal ownership, is simply a swinging back of the pendulum from the extreme "individual freedom" idea of our forefathers toward the ''strong government "idea from which they suffered. And the serious question which con fronts the American people today is to decide juEt how much of individual initiative and power it is cafe to trans fer to the government. A wholesale transfer of the indi vidual powers of onrMorgan andRocke- fellers to the hands of the less com petent public officials would be ajnmp from the "frying pan to the fire. 'But there is probably no danger of such a wholesale transfer of power. Brothers Rockefeller and Morgan ride with a pretty firm seat in the legislative sad dle of our state and nation. A TIME COMIXG. The railroad lobby at Lincoln who are fighting against anv and all rail road legislation on the theory that "the farmers are eo prosperous tbat they are demanding no changes," will be rudely awakened from that delus ive dream, if not by the present legis lature, bv some other legislature not very distant in the future. Railroads form one of the most im portant parts of onr industrial sys tem. They should have a voice in legislation proportionate to their im portance. But the public's interest in transportation is greater than the railroad's interest. And the public in Nebraska feel tbat local freight rates in Nebraska' are too high1 and that there should be a reasonable reduction. And the railroads had better submit to a reasonable reduction at the hands of reasonable men who want to be fair than to be forced to stand an unreason able redaction at the hands of a body of men aroused to unfairness by con tinued abuses. The Journal wishes to go on record emphatically in urging Platte county representatives to use their utmost in fluence for the passage of just one reasonable freight rate bill. .4 YANKEE TRICK, Yankees are not all dead, nor are they confined to the bounds of the New England states. And thanks to this fact, Nebraska may discover an unconstitutional method of constitu tional amendment that will work some long needed changes in our ob solete constitution. A Nebraska legislator has hit upon the happy thought of increasing the constitutional number of judges of the supreme court, without submitting the question of a constitutional amend ment to a vote at a general election, as required by the constitution. He proposes to have the partv conventions nominate six judges, and have it un derstood that every vote cast for an additional judge, is to be counted as a vote for a constitutional amend ment, to increase the number of judges. If this plan will stand the test in our supreme court, it promises us a quick and practicable means of amend ment. All honor to this Yankee, if he turns the trick. If some of that surplus water in the Loup were now being piled up in a reservoir, to be used to run a trolley car from Omaha to Beatrice, we might save some expense in the matter of dynamite. BRYAN AND STANDARD OIL. The Washington correspondent to the Chicago Tribune is authority for the statement that W.J.Bryan." Tom" Taggart and Senator Penrose have contaminated the pore white lining of their pockets by the potssrscit u of the "Foster Icai-e." This leaae, i well known, covers several hemtred thousand acres of Ramus oil land, secured from tho O.-ago Iudians. The Standard Oil Company is operating under this lease which the Kansas legislature is trying to have set aside on grounds of fraud. It will look funny to see President Roosevelt join the name of his "railroad bedfellow" with that of Rockefeller in suit for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. It will doubtless develop that Bryan is an innocent partner of Rockefeller in this alleged fraudulent lease. THE BIGGEST TRUST. They tell us now that the most grasping, the most absolute trust of all is tne "refrigerator car" trust. Is it not strange that we should have read the signs on the refrigerator cars for all these years, and paid exorbitant prices for fruit "out of season, "with out even guessing the trust's exis tence? The" beef" magnates aro mixing up a nice does for themselves. They are said to be operating in the same old way, utterly ignoring the injunction of cur highest court. Meanwhile a grand jury is grinding away in Chic ago, and it may grind ont some strip ed clothing for our arrogant brethern who choose to place themselves on the level of highwaymen. COME AHEAD. If we should get a power canal and Columbus should increate and multi ply and have a pormlation of ten thoufranr1, what would be the greatest of all the great blessings that would follow: Old Platte county would be in the republican fold just as safe and sure as Lancaster county. Let her come. STRONG RESOLUTIONS. Tne editors in convention atKearney this week went on record most em phaticaly in favor of a direct primaiy law and against the political pass. If the boys hong together on these propositions they will win out. Pub lic opinion and not legislation is the cure for the pass-evil. The erratic Senator Chandler of New Hampshire sees in the dim fu ture the election of Bryan to the pres idency and then government owner ship, free silver and everythng tbat Bryan used to think he stood for. The gentleman from New Hampshire seems to forget that the president is not the- law-making branch of the government and furthermore tbat Mr. Bryan is an advocate of the gold stand ard, unless he has flopped again since the last campaign. Never give in was the lesson taught to young husbands by Helen Grantly's ' Her Lord and Master." We saw at least oneColumbus young husband who admits he has started wrong but thinks it may not be too late to re treat. Another soon to be young hus band is thanking his stars Helen Grantly did not delay her date here till May. And the floods came and the ice de scended, and took out a piece of the Loup bridge. Thank the Lord, there's one thing thoy'll have to put back. Spring is surely here. Two of the Journal's correspondents are writing poetry this week. COLUMBINES. We are in favor of the bill to remove the state capital from Lincoln to Co lumbus. We have experienced this imigration ourself and we recommend it to the state capital or anybody else who may to seeking a change. We would respectfully call the at tention of t he World-Eerald. Telegram, Silver Creek Sand, et al to the fact that the partnership of Mickey, Rocke feller & God has undergone tome change in membership. It transpires that tho celebratedFoeterLease where by the Standard Oil Co. maintains its monopoly in the South and West, is owned by one W. J. Bryan and other Lincoln men. We are not informed as to whether the style of the firm will now be Bryan, Mickey, Rockefeller & God, or whether by the advent of the new member the political affilations of the partnership have been changed and Mr. Mickey thereby elim inated. Anyway, it's darned unfor tunate right at this time when Mr. Bryan is joyfully proclaiming that he is a follower of Roosevelt in the fight against the octopus. Poor old Kansas! And William was the greatest Pop of them all. I'm going down to Omaha, To Omaha today, To hear a man I never saw Upon the fiddle play. I'm off for Omaha, I my. To see the man thev call Ysaye. It does beat all how folks will go. Nor stop to reason why. To hear a Frenchman pull a bow And watch his fingers fly. And read the dreamlight in 'is eye. Thai's why I'm off to see Ysaye. Now 1 can tease a fiddle some, "Durang" and "Old Rye Straw," Though I wa'nt raised in Belgium. But down by Arkansaw. And folks don't flock to Omaha To hear me as they do Yaye. O. that confounded heathen name ! I havent time today To make it rhyme, but all the same I'll near the geezer play. I say, I see, I sigh, I saw, I'll see you down at Omaha. If a fellow adopts a practice of writ ing foolishness, and continues it for some time, and especially if he looks a little foolish anyway, he is gener ally up against it when he undertakes to talk sense. However, we have al ways believed in tackling anything that we saw anybody else do, and ia pursuance of this policy we shall now for a brief moment make as near an approach to a dignified form of expres sion as any member of our family has ever accomplished. The topio upon which this serious discourse is now n process of deliverance is Eagene Yaye, a man who plays on the violin. There are paople who believe that the production of musical tones which oliftive a prescribed se quenre iif time acd pitch is mus ic Snch people chouid purchase a phonograph ithoat delay. Other people are of the opinion that if a per former should tday behind a curtain, ont of sight of his audience, those of the audience who possessed musical appreciation would get the same en joyment from the performance as if he were in sight. The exponents of this idea should own an automatic piano player. When yon find a world leader in any branch of tho musical art, the technical performance is not more vi tal to the forming of your judgment than is the performer himself. If a man has within him a spirit which can be played into his instrument, it will be radiated from him likewise at all other times, off the stage as well as on. Ysaye is 43 years old, something over six feet tall, and weighs about 230 pounds. He has the forehead of Plato, the eye of Daniel Webster, and in his mouth and jaw he resembles William McKinley. Bis straight black hair he wears long, after the manner or Liszt. His voice is like the roar of a bull, he shakes hiuuls like c bear and his expression nud manner are those of a baby. Not a little baby, how ever, but a big, fat, buster of a baby who is tickled to death to see every body and wants to pat everybody on the head and be good friends with the world. On the stage he presents a very re reshing variety of gigantic awkward ness and the most delicate grace. To a spectator he seeaii absolutely uncon scious of everything while he plays. Hn will go through a bravura pas sage with bis feet about a yard apart, his head bent down over bis violin, every tone as clear a a piccolo note, and finish with a fierce dath of hpecd in chords, harmonics and staccato, shake his black mane like a lion, and settle back into a little melcdv with a tone as delicate and soft as the vibra tion of a harp string. It is very hard to describe the per son and playing of this Ysaye wihout drifting into extravagances of langu age. His tone was the most otautifnl we have ever heard and his execution was of course perfect. He is past the stage of technic. The program ranged from the mighty Kreutzer Sonata to Schumann's Abendlied. His only en core number was a part of the Bach Chaoonne and another movement from the same sonata. He bad a masterful accompanist, one who seemed to un derstand that he was not playing the solo himself. Ysaye's fiddle speaks for itself in the fact that it was made by Joseph Gnarnerius in old Cremcna. in the days of Shakespeare, and is played npon by the man who is generally considered the greatest violinist of the time. Big Woodmen Doings. Albion, Nebr. Febr.. 24 1005 (spe cial.) The Modern Woodmen of America held a rousing meeting at their ball in this city last night. About sixty new members were adopt ed and the most exciting time ever had in a lodge room was participated in. E E. Kester and J.O. Burgess of Lin coln conducted the work of the order and Mr. Keaster gave a very eloquent address to the members of the lodge and te candidates. For the last three weeks the Woodmen have been work ing hard getting new members and that success cmwned their efforts was clearly demonstrated in the fact that they got so many. Mr.E.Rymer, Deputy Head Counsel of Lincoln and Mr. James of Madison have been here working in the inter est of the lodge and another bunch of new ones will be taken in a week from tonight. This makes the Albion Camp No. 651 of the M. W. A. the largest in this congressional district and the members here are more than proud of their record. Albion certain ly is a Woodman town as they have the only lodge hall in the city and the largest membership by far of any local lodge. A banquet was given after the initiation by the Ladies of the Royal Neighbors. The revelry kept up uctil about two a. m. and the topic of conversation on tho streets this morning is the "Woodman initia tion of hut night." Sweet Clover! How sweet the words fall from the tongue.Sweet Clover, Mr theme, my topic my song. Tis laden with memories of olden times. And smacks of our youth and fond lover's rhyme. Sweet Clover! It takes us back to the years. When Life was all sunshine.unwat- ered by tears ; For it leads us away to a far away day Then cares were unknown, and all life was gay ; And it leaves as alone in our spring time career "The air. sweet with Clover", for that's what vou hear. 'Tisastory of love, as pure and sweet As the clover itself, for, wherever you meet On the fields or hillside its potent perfume It drives away cares, and it ban ishes gloom. Just so does the play, of Sweet Clover its tone Is a strong moral factor, wherever 'tis shown; For it teaches what's good, and de nounces what's bad. In laughable scenes, and scenes that are sad. 'Tisa play that's akin to the first morning's sun When all is serene, save the little bird's song; Yet one, that will roll o'er your thoughts like a billow, When the evening's done and you seek the soft pillow 'Twill linger on" lixe the scent of 8weet Clover." When the curtain rings down, and the "last act" is over. Jno. Marnice Sullivan. Jfi&$ Special Kedked Pilflr Excirsion Kates Washington.
