Back to decided ay tto govera- but every case win tto psrallsrlty of tto telephone Tto telephone is a natural for it is to tto advantage erery sshseriber that all users oi should be on the same ayv rim. More ttoa one system that a subscriber mast hare instrument, or be out isaJcatto with part of tto world of tatepuose-users. It is diM catt. however, to adjust human nature to ideal mechanical conditio. Estab lished companies, without rivals, lack tto motive of competition to keep ..rates dowa and service good. There fore some commaalties have welcomed aew companies which promised better and cheaper service. Dual systems, 'like labor strikes, are on their face economic looses, yet it may be worth while to endure the temporary dis comfort and loss in order to secure better conditions ultimately. The jbutcher may be on. one system and. tto baker oa another, yet low rates may bring two instruments within the. -previous cost of one, and may so in-: r i coin the number of subscribers within call as to atone for the Incon venience. If finally one company ab sorbs the other, the community may have become so well established in. tow rates that the surviving company dare not raise them. Oa tto other, toad says tto Youth's Companion, the elect of competing companies is' sometimes merely to divide the tele .phone users of a community without adding many to the total number, and If tto companies then make an agree ment to keep rates up, the community is worse of than before. In the strategical game which a community plays with nubile service companies, it is dimcult to determine in the case of tto telephone service how far the actual or threatened establishment of a rival company stimulates mechanic cal improvement and checks the na tural tendency of a monopoly to extor; tlon. No community can settle the question without careful study. ! Mr. Bryce Incog. ! The last time Mr. Bryce visited this country was two years ago last sum mer, when he landed in Boston. Hd is a very modest gentleman, and he 'prefers to travel incog, when he can .conveniently do so. So it happened that on his last voyage hither neither his name nor that of Mrs. Bryce, who came with him, appeared on the pas senger list, and his fellow voyagers 'did not suspect his identity until- aftei several days out Meanwhile NMr Bryce had tto pleasure of asking his itable companions all about this coun try and its institutions. And they glibly answered his naive questions, never suspecting that they were talk ing with the author of "The American iCommonwealth." Fancy their chagrin ilater on, remarks the Boston Herald, when they discovered by accident that they tod been undertaking to en lighten aa inquisitive foreigner who knew far more about their institutions 'than they did!

The town is that of Bejar, near Salaman ca, whose people are using their ut .most endeavors to have themselves distributed men, women and chH 'drsa among the South American re jpubttcs. Bejar was once a nourishing jtown, with a reputation for its cloth fabrics. Fifty years ago the popula ttoa numbered z2,90 people, but the, place has gradually declined, and to jdey contains no more than S.Ove souls. who seek to lee from it as fast as they can.

The subcommittee has agreed upon tto following- bin to re sort to tto joint committee: Section 1.

Senator Roidbrook will this week introduce a bill into the senate to es tablish a state fire commission, sim ilar ia function to the fire marshals of some of the eastern states. It is said to be backed by a number of fire in surance companies. The bill makes tto coventor fire commissioner and? allows Mm a chief deputy and two as sistant deputies. The chief mast re side ia Lincoln and is to receive a salary of $2,000 a year. The assist ants are to receive salaries of $1,500 la accordance with the recommenda- of the state bar association, Rep- itative Tucker submitted a joint ilutlea for an amendment to the titntion to reorganize the state court. The bill provides for a supreme court of seven members, fsne ot whom Is to be a chief justice. Instead of the senior member of the court serving as chief justice to is to be elected for the full term of twelve 7ars. Each of the judges is to serve tto same length of time. A. reciprocal demurrage in the opin ion ot Senator Holbrook of Dodge aouaty would do away with the pres enh objections to demurrage charges against shippers, and in accordance with his opinion he has introduced s) Mil applying the reciprocity theory to the unloading of freight cars'. The bill allows a shipper forty-eight hours ini which to unload each car consigned to him and provides that if the unloading is accomplished in less time the aaased time shall be credited to him to ofiset delinquency in future unload- The state board of educational lands and funds has authorized the purchase of another block of $10,000 of bonds of the state of Mississippi to net the state of Nebraska 3.75 per cent interest. The house finance committee has agreed to recommend an appropria tion ot $75,000 for the state board of agriculture, if the money is to be ex pended at the discretion of the board. There is disposition to have made ready tto appropriation bill, so it can be discussed intelligently and not be rushed through at the last minute when all is excitement, thus allowing boards, superintendents of institu tions and others to drag money out ot the state treasury with impunity. Indications are that every request win be investigated thoroughly, and if tto money is actually needed it probably will be appropriated, but if not tto legislators doubtless will use tto pruning knife freely and ehTectu-Dy- By a vote of 10 to 4, the joint com mittee oa. direct primary decided to draft a bill state-wide in elect for submission to tto legislature. The decision was reached alter a general discussion of primary buis now be fore -the' legislature, together with methods for nominations employed In various states. Wednesday of this week railroad bills pending in the senate will be heard to opea session, at which time an citizens or representatives can ap pear and present their views. Tto joint committee oaf a busy time , with their Tto committee met sooaei tad succeeded to. tag oa a two-cent fare bill to be In troduced to tto house by Harrieoa of Otoe, aad made some changes to tto railway fommissjoa bffl aad heard tto ot railroad attorneys aad against a reciprocal demur- bill. Tto -two-cent- farr bill wffl merely change the word "three" to tto pres ent statute to "two" cents aad pro vide that half-fare tickets stall be given' to children under 12 years of age, tto latter being: a rale now in force oa most of the railroads ia Ne braska. The bffl wffl be totrodaced as a committee bffl by Harrison of Otoe, chairman of the Bouse, rauroaa committee. When it came to the committee bffl conferring power upon the rail way commission, the joint committee succeeded in going through only about six sections of the proposed bffl. Tha Aldrich bffl has been fol lowed in many particulars. The joint committee decided to give the com mission a lump sum of $6,000 a ?ear for clerk hire instead of giving $2,500 for one secretary and $1,200 each for two clerks. It was also decided that instead of compelling the commission to Inspect all railway bridges in the stat twice each year, this duty is made merely optional. The following provision is from Representative Cone's bffl affecting weights: "It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation owning within the state goods or merchandise in original unbroken packages' lo cated within this state, to offer for sale any such 'original unbroken pack age' unless such package shaU have plainly printed or stamped thereon ia the English language the full net weight or volume contained therein. Provided that the natural shrinkage ia the course of handling such goods to the amount of 5 per cent ot the net weight or volume thereon shall be ex empt from the provisions of this act." The claims committee of the house met at the Lindell hotel. Claims and deficiencies have been filed that at present do not aggregate as-much as ufcual. Of the claims so far handed to the committee there is the one by En gineer U. O. Sawyer for $750 for in juries received while a public employe, the old claim of Mrs. Mary M. Hox'.e. for $2,333.33 for salary as matron of the Kearney industrial school; by J. H. Mickey for $191.83 for railroad fare paid while governor; for $1,750 by the estate of John F. Cornell for expense incurred when his office was iavosti gated while he was state auditor. Members of the legislative commit tee which inspected the Soldiers' home at Grand Island entertain dif ferences of opinion regarding the ap propriation which this institution should have,. The commandant haz recommended that $75,000 bo appro priated for permanent improvements, and some members of the committee believe such a large sum is unneces sary, inasmuch as the maximum of the number of old soldiers who will become members of tne bom is reached. As a compromise between conflict Ing interests on the compulsory edu cation bffl which he introduced into the senate early in the session Sen ator Thomas has a new measure which he may offer as a substitute for S. F. 50. The aew measure is not radically different from the old one. but It ia not quite so rigorous. It provides that every child between 7 and 15 shall be required to go to school not less than two-thirds of the entire school year ia his district or in any case not less than twelve weeks during the year. The house Indefinitely postponed the bill by Raper which abolished the pres ent optional death penalty. The bill was recommended for passage on the previous day without discussion and some of the members said they were not aware of the scope of the bffl at the time. - CarUn of Rock moved to re consider and after a long debate the bill was killed. The house killed the bffl by E. W. Brown of Lancaster pro viding that judges of the supreme, dis trict and county courts are ineligible to election to office save judicial tions. Before a packed gallery and a crowd ed lobby the senate laid the county op tion bin to rest by the decisive vote of twenty to eleven. Though not much has yet been done in the legislature, the majority say all partv pledges will be fulfilled before the close of the session. The house got busy on the 5th and passed eighteen bills. Most of them, however, were of local interest. The house passed Mr. Cone's bin providing that railroads shall not em ploy boys under 21 years of age as night telegraph operators or tower men. Author of the measure declared that he believed many wrecks ar caused because young and inex perienced men help In handling trains. A bin to be forthcoming wffl revise present methods at tto South Omaha stock yards. Fusion members are be hind the measure, fortified by stock raisers of the western section of the state.- Employes of the legislature became happy when they received their pay for the duties performed for the ben efit of the istate. From the janitor down aU received their, stipend. Leg islative members were paid a day or two later. The senate passed S. F. 73, by Xing; relating to the descent ot real prop erty to decedents. The bffl gives tto surviving husband or wife a share to fee of the property Instead of allow ing the wife the dower interest of one third under the present law. BUYING A WAGON How air.

Clark) Mr. Brown, a farmer Uvtog to Boon county. Ma, decided to buy a spring wagon. Tto next time he was to towa to went1 to tto local dealer to see what he had to stock. One' wagon that suited him was offered to him at $75. He thought he .would take It, but before ordering he looked over a mail order vehicle catalogue. Here to saw described a .wagon which, as "far as description went, was the same as the one he saw in the deal er's store room. In fact, the descrip tion 'was written to such a convinc ing manner and all of the good points of tto mail order vehicle were brought out so thoroughly that it appeared to be superior to the other one. And the price was only $07.45. Mr. Brown thought of the saving of $7.55 which represented several Jiays of hard work. The more he thought about it the more he wanted to save that amount aad ia the end the Chicago mail or der concern got his check. When the wagon finally arrived, with a freight bill of $4.50, he rode to town with his son and -spent half a day putting it together. He had to buy a screw driver and some oil and aaad paper and a few bolts to replace some that had been lost in shipment. t .slpt ) If - WmWMhhWWsmm " FliTm?nOOnS? 1 M m1kwmm9mwB$ Imaw mnffi Jrawwuuy QalPPwSnmwSmH MMtmTiawr Blj- tf .wJESiMBBmn-WMMpgS .awmnnuHimnnnnnnnm3m.Bt-snnnnnwmnnnn mnwsmnvsC mnw m"mmHmmV Like the terrible devil fish the catalogue house is death to everything that gets within its grasp. Once its death-dealing tentacles have wound around your community, there is no escape. Are you assisting the greedy monster by sending your dollar to the mail order house. AU of these cost him 75 cents. He was not experienced at putting spring wagons together and he didn't do a very good job of it, for one ot the seats refused to sit In the right place and he had to get a local blacksmith to help him fix it. This cost him another half dollar and delayed him so much that he and the boy had to go to the hotel for their dinners; an additional expense of 70 cents. S before he got his team hitched to the wagon it cost him $73.90, allowing him a saving of $1.10, which was very stingy pay for the time he had lost. Of the amount he spent for the wagon, only $1.95 remained in Boone county. Tto railroads and the matt order pouse got the rest of it In the meantime his neighbor, Mr. Jones, bought the $75 wagon from the local dealer, who made a profit of $1$ on the sale. As the vehicle was already assembled and there were no extra parts or tools to buy, the amount paid for the wagon represented all of the cost to Mr. Jones. The dealer spent the $16 profit for a new sign on his building; the sign painter hired a carpenter to repair the roof on his house; the carpenter paid his bill at the butcher's and the butcher bought a hog from Mr. Jones. And so the $16 kept going in the county until a farmer with the jnail order habit get hold of it He sent it to Chicago and it never came back. ' But this wasn't the last of the two pwctases. A few weeks after the two wagons were bought, Mr. Brown's boy and Mr. Jones' boy, driving the new vehicles, met on the country road. They drove too close to each other and a smash-up resulted. The weak est part of each wagon gave way; an axle on the matt order product was broken and a doubletree on the other was smashed. Both breaks were plain ly because of defective construction. Mr. Jones took bis broken doubletree to town the next day and the dealer gave him a new one. Mr. Brown at tempted to explain to the Chicago firm that the axle would not have broken if it had not been defective and coupled this explanation with' a re quest for a new part, but after several weeks of correspondence with the piece as far away as at the begin ning, he gave it up and bought the axle himself. This experience told Mr. Brown why he should trade with home merchants instead of patronis ing tto mail order houses. In Boone county and in every other county there are many who send thou sands of dollars out of the county vary year, without ever considering tto fact that they are making their community poorer, reducing .the per capita of wealth, and dwarfing local builsnst. oaly to enrich a concern al ready rich enough to buy several counties. Aa extra thousand dollsrs u. any community will mean, during the year, many thousands of dollsrs In business transacted and increased in some for practlcaUy every one in the community. Often the amount seat to the man order houses is more than enough to turn the balance the other way and business depression exists where prosperity would prevail under normal conditions. Even If the coun try purchaser was able to save a snug by ordering Iris supplies irom a tto. was t tto mnaity would to greater ttoa tto for himself. It Is nsedlssa to out that as tto amonuj of tto mall or der business from any community m creases tto amount of loss to tto com mnaity also lac r saw. natU R Is only a question of time until tto individual loss caused by tto general depression of business wffl exceed tto individual saving. Ia fact if everyone to tto ity bought from tto mail order local markets would disappear the farmer would to compelled to saB as well as bay from tto catalog concerns. The rural districts would be devoid ot business activity who tto wealth of tto country would to centered In on or two points. Bay toe by maU may be attractive, bat tto most pronounced man order lead must look with apprehension oa any conditio whereby to would to com pelled to depaed oa the man order man for a market for his products. But tto idea of savtog oa individual purchases is, to a great extent, a fallacy. In spite of his boasted ability to buy In large quantities, to is' not able to buy for much less ttoa tto country merchant. Competition to aU manufactured products Is too keea for that. And the small saving to Is able to make by large purchases is mora than offset by his larger expenses. These expenses must come put of the purchaser so the 'mail order maa is compelled to make a larger profit than the local dealer. It costs him more to market his goods. He must maintain a large and expensive office force aad he must advertise. As an example of what the mail order man expects to make out of his customers, a letter written by a prominent mail order man might be quoted. Writing to a magazine he said: "Advertising to your publication cost us 17 cents aa inquiry and we made sales at a cost of only 56 cents each for advertising. This is about half of our regular cost." This man was selling "A complete out fit of clothes for $9.95." He was will ing to pay a dollar for each sale the advertising brought him. Ask your local dealer how long he could keep the sheriff away from his doors if he took a dollar out of every ten dollar sale. Tou can't buy the same class ot goods any cheaper from the catalogue houses thaa from tto local dealer, though on may think he can after reading the catalogues. The differ ence comes In the quality of the goods. There is a particular class of goods known as "mail order goods." This trade term is applied to cheap but showy goods and novelties which can be sold at a large profit. It means much the same thing as "street fakir goods" and, as is the case with street fakir goods, mail order goods are'not handled ' by the regular jobbers and wholesalers. They cannot afford to handle them because their customers want better merchandise. The street fskir duplicates, in appearance, the jewelry carried by a first class Jew elry house and makes large profit The catalogue merchant does the same thing but does it on a larger scale and much more cleverly. The country store is one of tto most valuable Institutions of any community. In the order of estab lishment 'it Is first and in the degree of social Importance it is second oaly to tto church and the school. In many communities it is greater even than these. It is here that the members of the community meet and exchange opinions, ideas and news. It is here that most political questions ar threshed out and decided. It Is th center of the community and any community without a center ot this sort loses its first organization with out which progress is impossible. It If. 4nn1 the local StOTO USX UW country boy looks as tne nrsi step ping stone out of the drudgery ot farm' life. Thousands of successful men have risen through a clerkship in a country store. The country store to human. The mall order house to bloodless and soulless. The country store has at heart the interests of the community.' The mail order house has no Interests but Its own. In times of depression the country store give credit too liberal to be prompted by mere purpose of gain. The mail order house demands cash with order. As with our fellow men. we wffl not real ize how valuable the country store is until it Is taken away.
