POINTERS TO PLATTE COUNTY
FARMERS.
The table of Platte county statis
tics published elsewhere in this issue
of the Journal from the report of
County Assessor Galley affords some
excellent food for thought.
If the farmers of Platte county
could increase the production of win
ter wheat two bushels per acre, the
increase in one year would build a

figuring
wheat
at 50 cents a bushel.
If they conhl increase the average
yield of corn one bushel per acre, an 4
sell it at 25 cents a bushel, they could
add $30,000 to Platte county's treas
ury. If they could increase the yield of
tame hay 20 per cent they could add
$25000 annually to Platte county's
wealth.
These examples might be multi
plied to illustrate the opportunities in
the hands of the farmers of the coun
ty to increase not only their private
wealth, but to promote the general
welfare of the county.
Just a little more care in the se
lection of seeds, jurt a little more at
tention to the scientific methods of
1 la. J 1 1 "11 J 11
sun uuuure auu a uau million uonars
yearly would be added to the present
income of Platte county farmers.
Is it not worth while for every far
mer of Platte county to consider it a
part of his business to bring about
this result?
The Humphrey Democrat says that
one Humphrey farmer has produced
a beautiful piece of road near his
farm by the use of the King drag and
by sowing alfalfa along the roadside.
The farmer gets a profit from the
alfalfa besides beautifying the roads.
Why not make this practice unani
mous in Platte countv?
Aubrey A. Smith, son of Pierson
D. Smith of St. Edward, is a candi
date for representative from Boone
county. Mr. Smith is a graduate of
Yale, is vice-president of the Smith
National Bank and is one of the
cleanest and brightest young men in
Nebraska. It is gratifying to see this
sort of young men seeking places in
the public service.
Judge Sullivan is going to Europe.
He will not admit that he is going to
sprout a pair of wi gs in the Euro
pean senatorial incubator and declares
he has no political ambitions. How
ever, if the fever attacks him as it has
Edward Rosewater, we advise him to
choose a republican craft in which to
return home. It is ths only kind that
will carry him safe past the demo
cratic Scylla and Charybdis to a seat
in the United States senate from Ne
braska. William Jennings Bryan has a
good 'heart. So have many other
folks. But what evidences are there
that he has the right kind of a head
to preside over the biggest nation in
the world? He entered the presiden
tial field when people were shy on
money and he thought he could be
elected by advocating "free money."
Conditions changed. Under a wise
republican administration business
confidence was strengthened and
everybody who was willing to work
got money. When another four
years had rolled around people re
fused to listen to free money" argu
ment. But Bryan was equal to the.
emergency. The United States in the
meantime had thrashed Spain and
found herself in possession of some
islands inhabited by a brown skinned
people. Bryan recalled the history
of the negro slave on American soil
and believed he could be elected pre
sident by proclaiming the doctrine of
imperialism and likening McKinley
to the Czar of Russia. Again he was
wrong. Then passed another period
of prosperity. In that time he has
written many sophormoric essays on
many sides of the same questions and
now he is in Europe. From the dis
tance he thinks he sees that the peo
ple are dissatisfied with republican
radicalism as typefied by President
Roosevelt and he is making his ap
peal this time to the "conservative"
people of the United States that they
choose him to deliver them from the
radicalism of Roosevelt. Bryan, then,
brought down to date, can claim hon-
or from the American people because
of his championship of the three
"isms,"
bimetallism, imperialism, and
conservatism, and the greatest of
these is conservatism, for it is
the last. If this record proves

OTHER EDITORS.
Fremont Tribune: It is interesting
to analyze the difference between the
two men. Mr. Bryan's present Donular-
ity comes largely from a fear of some
thing worse in bis own party; from a
blind devotion of thousands of demo
crats who are charmed with his high
character and his audacious and dash
ing leadership. But President Roose
velt has had the arduous duties of large
responsibilities imposed on him, and he
has invariably made cood. He has
hewn his way thru corruption and me
nacing evils. He has bad the courage
to uttack wrongs and the generalship to
worst the organized forces of predatory
wealth. The people love him for this
fine display of moral heroism. Mr.
Bryan has added to his own personal
popularity by endorsing the course of
tne president. His hitherto fame has
rested upon the advocacy of 1G to 1, of
anti-imperialism and opposition to a
protective tariff. Insofar as he is en
joying a revival it is very largely be
cause he is in line with Roosevelt and
modern republican sentiment.
Norfolk News: Despite the figures
given by Prof. Bessie of the state uni
versity, and quoted at the alumni ban
quet the other night by Prof. Bodwell,
showing that the percentage of business
increases with the length of time spent in
school and in college work, there is a
tendeucy among men to give up school
today and rush into business. It Beems
to so many young men that they are
losing time in studying literature dnd
Latin and mathematics, and they could
make more progress adding figures in
an account book. So many fail foresee
that without laying a foundation with
mathematics and literature and even
Latin, which is the best language-training
stndy in the world, they will never
be able to rise up as opportunities offer,
and will always be held down near the
level at which they start. It is true, of
course, that some men win what is
termed success, who have not had edu
cation in any shape, but these are the
naturally keen men who would have
made easier successes if they had had
educational foundations, in the first
place. And then, again, there is alto
gether loo much of a tendency to over
look the fact that all success is not in
business. The man who gets most out
of life learns to enjoy little things, the
finer points, of lifo. And surely there
is no doubt that the man who is educa
ted has a deeper appreciation uf good
books and good plays and good living
than he who has not.
PERSONAL and PERTINENT
The boys tell one on Jonas Welch that
is equalled only by the story of Edgar
Howard, Pat Hart and the ambassador
ship to Ireland and up to date the story
has not been denied. Mr. Welch has a
large acreage of wheat and oats on his
numerous farms and the threatened
drouth last week was depressing his
usually cheerful spirits. How far his
spirits were depressed can best be infer
red from the following story which is
vouched for by the Journal's informant:
"Jonas Welch was as blue as a water-
wukuu uewocrac ever gets, Jdis oats
needed rain and the chances were 16 to 1
that unless rain came soon he would not
raise enough to feed the Bryan demo
cratic mule till the owner's return from
Europe. In bis zeal for rain he draraed
out his Bryan-Penates and oven peti
tioned the Almighty but to no avail. At
last, in deepest despair, he turned to that
never failing source of succor and benefi
sence, the republican party. He went
into his private den at midnight last
Saturday night and with shades drawn
wrote out a telegram to the administra
tion at Washington. On the following
night Jonas Welch was seen in bis
oats field in a boat figuring up what
percentage of his profits from his oats
crop he could afford to donate next fall
to the republican campaign fund."
Women sometines talk. Occasionally
they listen And ence in a great while
they hear things which are "too good to
keep." This happened in the case of
two good Columbus women last week
?M. th TllL 1lhl an.nOUnced
with authority that Columbus is about
to present to the worid a real live diplo
mat. Our fellow citizen Patrick J.
Hart is to be sent as "ambassador to
Ireland" if Edgar Howard has his way.
And Edgar ought to have his way in
this ambition, for he was heard by thete
two women to declare that it was the
only political ambition he possessed in
the world. It was to be the one request
that be should press upon President
William J Bryan, and "no powers on
earth or in heaven"so help him Chris
topher Columbus could prevent said
Bryan being president in 1908. The
women in question are sure he said it
for they heard him. They could not be
mistaken for it was two o'clock in the
morning and all other earthly sounds
had died away save the footsteps of
Judge Hensley slowly wending bis way
homeward in another part of town.
And the hearing of the women was un
usually acute for one of them was the
wife of the future diplomat patiently
waiting in the shade of the vine covered
porch to catch the .sound of her hus
bands home coming footsteps. The
doors were locked and he had the key.
The Indies knew that Howard.was sincere
in bis declarations of devotion to the'
future ambassader to Ireland, for did
he not walk all the way home with the
diplomat, clinging tight to his coat
sleeve? And did he not cllnj? long if
nnsteadily to said sleeve, for many
minutes after the ambassadors wife
should have gone to her beauty sleep?
Of course he was in earnest. And all
the rest of ns will throw np our hats
and shout "Hurrah for Pat Hart tLe
next ambassador to Ireland. May Le
live to honor his political discoverer
and never again carry off his wife's door
key."

Crow Reservation.
The government has made all arange
ments for the registration for the lands
of the Crow Agency, which will be
drawn July 2nd at Billings. The regis
tration dates are June 14 to 28 at Sheri
den and Billings, and the Burlington
has offered exceptionally low rates to
those wishing to take a chance in Uncle
Sam's big lottery. The rates from all
Burlington stations west of the Missouri
river to Billings and Sheridan will be
one fare for the round trip, with a maxi
mum or 2U, which will make the rate
from Omaha, Kansas City and Denver
much less than a fare for the round trip.
From all points ewst of the Missouri
river and from Kansas and the south
west the rate will be 75 per cent of the
one-way rate, with a minimum of $20.
The tickets will be sold June 10 to 2G
inclusive, with a return limit till July
10. All lodging places will be listed and
committees at each town will meet the
excursionists.
The mayor of Billings has wired Gen
eral Passenger Agent Wakeley of the
Burlington that everything will be done
to take care of the registration crowd,
and he will take person.il charge of the
police force. Tents will be laid out in
the streets with board floors. Booths
will all be connected with city sewers
and the best sanitary arrangements
made. The mayor says that Billings
will be able to take care of 10,000 people
at any one time.
Sheriden has already advised the Bur
lington that complete arrangements are
being made to take ca're of the crowds
for registration. Every available room
be arranged for, while necessary cots
and bedding and tents will be secured
from Fort MacKenzie to accommodate
a small at my. Fine camping grounds
will be prepared. Hotels and eating
houses are stocking up ami will be pre
pared to take caro of all that come.
The police force is taking measures to
eliminate all undesirable elements, such
as thugs and gamblers. The Chamber
of Commerce and city conncil are tak
ing vigorous measures to insure regis
tration visitors a safe and comfortable
time at Sheridan.
