The republican state central com
mittee has an indebtedness of several,
hundred dollars which must be paid.
The republican committee of Platte
county has on hand $35, the amount
left over from the $300 received from
the state committee last fall. Why
not return the $35 to the state com
mittee. The present contest over the revision
of the tariff has reached a plan where
the ultimate consumer can well be
likened to a newly-born and helpless
calf who is being devoured by a bunch
of razor-back hogs. Each member of
congress seems to be satisfied if he can
get one mouthful of the divy. Ne
braska Liberal.
Senator Tillman, who has not been
very much in evidence since his ex
posure as a land grafter, has emerged
from obscurity long enough to denoun
ce protectionists as "hogs," and then
cast a vote for a protective tariff on
iron ore, with sixteen other democratic
senators all "hogs," according to the
South Carolina senator.
And now the Republican papers of
the state are claiming that the credit
for the daylight saloon law should be
given to their party. This doesn't
sound like the noise we heard just af
ter its passage and before the governor
signed it Then they snickered and
quoted the old phrase. "Be d d if

Bishop Williams of Michigan is re
ported to have denounced the good old
hymn, "Rock of Ages," because he
thought it encouraged an effeminate
and enervating religion. His idea is
that a religion that is passive, that
teaches a man to lean on something, is
sadly overdone, and that it is often
made a substitute for Christian life
and character, instead of for inspira
tion. There is, no doubt, a good side to
the bishop's view of the case,but we are
sure that "Rock of Agea" will be sung
long after the bishop is forgoten.
The absolute surrender of the soul
declared by those vigorous lines should
hardly be called effeminate. It is not
good theology to call it so; not even
good science. There are many hymns
written long ago, in which the sub
stantive sense is so strong as to hide
the spiritual, but if rightly handled
they will not crowd out the devotional
spirit The good old sacred hymns,
together with somerecent gospel songs,
constitute the best music since the
morning stars sang together. Ohio

Tne Omaha Bee gives an interesting
account of the way Senator Burkett
went after Senator Aldrich on account
of certain features in the senate tariff
bill, and says in part "Today a lively
tilt occurred between Senator Burkett
and Senator Aldrich in which the Ne
braskan came off with honor, causing
very considerable chagrin to the Rhode
Island tariff sharp. Mr. Burkett com
plained of lack of information given to
the public, and even to the senators
themselves, by members of the finance
committee as to the import of various
schedules and the effect their passage
would have upon trade. He cited the
barb wire schedule as an example of
sharp practice, and proceeded to tear
to flinders the committee proposition
that a rate of $2.70 per 100 should be
charged. He said that as to this par
ticular manufacture of wire the sena
tors from states where it is chiefly
produced had not been consulted, but
now a tacit 'agreement had been reach
ed which he believed will eventually
place a rate of $1.00 per 100 upon this
product Mr. Burkett added smart to

HONORINC A MURDERER.
The Georgia division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy recent
ly unveiled a monument at Atlanta,
erected to the memory of Captain
Henry Wirz, who had charge of
Andersonville prison during the civil
war where Union prisoners were con
fined. If ever a devil in human shape
existed, that man was Captain Wirz,
and it is no credit to the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and
those who participated in the unveiling
of the monument to thus, honor a man
who was directly responsible for the
death of so many men, and whose
fiendish cruelties and inhuman treat
ment of Federal prisoners has been
denounced, 'not only by the North,
but by many southern people as welH
The honoring of Wirz recalls one of
the most exciting scenes that ever
occurred in congress. It was in 1875,
when the democratic congress with
seventy majority over the republicans,
attempted to pension Jefferson Davis,
that the horrors of Andersonville
prison were discussed. "James G.
Blaine took the floor and in one of the
most dramatic speeches ever delivered
in congress denounced the majority
members for attempting to honor the
former president of the Confederate
States, charging that Davis could have
removed Captain Wirz and appointed
a more humane man in his place.
Blaine's fiery address was the com
mencement of a week of speech mak
ing in which Garfield, on the part of
the republicans, and Hill, Gorden and
Sunset Cox on the part of the demo
crats, took part. Although the demo
crats had seventy majority, the bill to
pension Jefferson Davis met the fate
it deserved, enough northern demo
crats voting with the republicans to
defeat the measure.
This effort on the part of the
Daughters of the Confederacy to make
a martyr of Wirz, naturally arouses a
protest from northern people.
Wirz was tried by a military com
mission on the charge of murdering
Union prisoners and executed for his
crimes soon after the war closed.
THOMAS BARLOW WALKER.
Ever heard the gentleman's name
mentioned before? Possibly you have,
but he's not a very prominent man
compared with some of the "big guns"
whose names are household words; yet
Mr. Thomas Barlow Walker is a
power in politics in a quiet unassum
ing way. Next to Frederick Weyer
hauser he is undoubtedly the wealthi
est man in America. One item among
his holdings is 750,000 acres of timber
land valued at no less than one and a
half billion of dollars, and some say
the property is really worth twice the
sum above mentioned. Yet with all
his immense holdings Barlow believes
"our infant lumber industry" should
be protected and the present tariff on
lumber retained in the Payne bill in
order that he and Weyerjiauser, the
real promoters and directors of the
great national lumber trust may con
tinue to reap the benefits of the tax
imposed. When a man insists that
the lumber industry of the country
requires a protective tariff in order to
keep the wolf from the door, he is
either a knave or a fool.
TEMPERANCE.
One of the faults with prohibition is
that its followers are unwilling to ad
mit that there is room for a difference
of opinion between the enemies of in
temperance. To them, their way
seems right, and they are unwilling to
admit there may be others more effec
tive, or what seems more effective to
others. Hence the prohibitionists do
a great deal of unnecessary fighting;
indulge in foolish quarrels with others
as anxious as they for the welfare of
mankind, and who understand clearly
that drink does not promote that' wel
fare. Perhaps no other paper of
equal influence devotes as much space
and effort to the cause of temperance
as Collier's, but it is abused by the
prohibitionists, because it- frankly ad
mits that prohibition is a failure in the
larger cities; that it is a failure any
where that it meets with the opposition
of many people. Yet the work of
Collier's for temperance is tangible and
real. It has set the federal authorities
on the makers of vile gin, the labels as
well as the intoxication of which have
played a part in the wave of criminal
assault in the South. It has shown the
physiological effect of drink, which is
universally bad, in several instructive
articles. And still the prohibitionists
regard it as an enemy, and a creature
of the liquor interests.
Temperance is a great advantage;
no doubt of that But it is well to
remember that it may be applied to
speech and action, as well as bever
ages. Drake Watson.
One of the growing-needs at Lin
coln is a school of instruction for elec

YOU TICKLE ME AND I TICKLE YOU.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, in a
recent speech in the senate, answered
some of the special interest members
of that body who had intimated that
he and other middle west senators were
not intelligently informed as to what
schedules in the Payne tariff bill
should be changed, in the following
short but illuminating remarks:
"I was very much amused the other
day when my good friend, the senator
from Montana, called attention to the
valuable documents we have here and
held up the fact that there was no ex
cuse for any ignorance here and that
we who questioned the tariff schedules
were guilty of ignorance. I was very
sorry the senator from Montana did
not supplement a little further the
information we have in this chamber.
"We have a little information in
this chamber that reaches beyond
these volumes. When it comes to
lumber, we have the junior senator
from Maryland (Mr. Smith) and the
junior senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
Stephenson). When it comes to the
matter of lead ore and when it comes
to the matter of wool and woolen goods,
we have our good friend, the senator
from Utah (Mr. Smoot) to instruct us,
and when' it comes to the matter of
glass we have my good friend here, the
senator from West Virginia (Mr.
Scott), whom I do not see."
"And so I go all around the cham
ber and call the attention of the sena
tor from Montana to the fact that we
have far more original information
THE FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Few people are aware that the idea
of starting a Sunday school originated
with just a plain ordinary printer.
His name was Raikes, and he lived in
the old English town of Gloucester.
One Sunday morning, a hundred years
ago. says St Nicholas, a workingman,
carefully dressed in his best suit, came
out of his house on the main street of
Gloucester, and strolled leisurely down
the hill. The "New Inn" was fronted
then, as it is today, by a square gar
den overhung by the carved galleries
of the tavern. There was a moss-clad
well in the center, and about it were
beds of sweet-smelling pinks and
columbines.
But the calm of that Sunday morn
ing was destroyed by a crowd of street
boys who fought over the flower beds,
making the day hideous with their
noise and coarse talk.
The printer for printing was his
work on weekdays stopped in the
midst of the crowd and looked steadily
at the boys. Presently he said to
himself: "At this rate those boys will
soon go utterly to the bad. That must
not be! There are good possibilities
in them. Here, boys," he called aloud,
"come with 'me."
He led them, yelling and pushing,
down the street 'into his own quiet
house, planning as 'he went how. to
keep them there.
"I am going," he said presently, "to
start a school for you. Now and
here. It shall be a free school, I will
be the teacher."
The boys received the news with
shouts. They were too ragged and
grimy to go to church on Sundays.
No other decent place was open to
them.
The idea of a free school on Sunday
appealed to every Christian as a most
hopeful plan for.the rescue of children
from, wickedness. It spread through
the town, through the shire, through
England. It was adopted in France
and Germany; it made its way to
Australia and to the United States.
Now, in every country in the world
and in every sect there are these
schools, which every Sunday morning,
the Bible story is told, without money
and without price.
In the staid old city of Gloucester
they still show you the New Inn and
the garden where the boys played and
the old brown house with its peaked
roof in which Robert Raikes, that
long-ago morning," taught the first
Sunday school.
THE AFFLICTED SUGAR TRUST.
4.
No general feeling of prejudice
against mergers and -combinations
against trade which is well enough
in its broader application should be
permitted to check a generous outflow
of sympathy for the sore affliction
which tile American Sugar trust is
suffering through the conspiracy of
treacherous groundlings in its employ
to cheat the government by short
weighing raw sugar and thus defraud
ing Uncle Sam, who has been 'so kind
and sweet to the Sugar trust
For mere tools and groundlings,'
theseshort-weighers displayed remark
able skill and cunning. By means of
secret springs they "fixed the scales"
and while the great and good Sugar
trust was rejoicing in the consciousness
of its own virtue and resting secure in
the happy belief that its weighers were
as honest as itself, it was betrayed by
those in whom it'eonfided. v
It is pleasant to know that, these
than is contained In these volumes
piled up on the desk. If I want infor
mation 'about smelting and mining, I
would not think of getting books
which the senator from Montana piled
up. I would look right in front of me
to that seat (indicating a seat ahead)
ffor information."
Here Senator Nelson pointed to the
desk of Senator Guggenheim of the
Smelter trust
"But these men who are possessed of
that information are not cranks like
the' senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
LaFollette). He is a crank not to vote
on a schedule that affects his own purse
or affects his own interests.
"Mr. President, I am tired of being
lectured about' these schedules and
about orthodoxy of the republican
party. Let us recognize the fact that
with a tariff bill it is just as it is with
the river and harbor bill. -There is no
use disguising it. You tickle me and
I tickle you. You give us what we on
the Pacific coast want for our lead ore
and for our citrus fruit and we will
tickle you people of New England and
give you what you want on your cot
ton goods.
, "That is all I desire to say in reply
to the eloquence of the senator from
Massachusetts the other day. How
patriotic he was. When you boil
down the patriotism you come to the
same basis as that of the river and
harbor bill. You vote for my creeks,
you vote for my harbors, you vote f r
my rivers and I will vote for yours and
shut my eyes, and it is all right."
low-down scoundrels who manipulated
the scales have been indicted. It
would probably be a wicked waste of
time to grope around for those "higher
up" since the principals of the Sugar
trust are "all honorable men" and
could not, therefore, have had even an
intimation of the skullduggery prac
ticed by their base hirelings or shared
in the profits of the steal, even to the
extent of a farthing.
It is when the government lays hold
of the thieves who are taken in the act,
and hurries them off to jail, while the
trusts whom these rascals scandalize
are left unmolested with their deep
sorrow and torturing regret, that un
reasonable and intemperate persons
set up the ataurd clamor that there is
in this country one law for the rich
and another law for the poor. Kan

A NEW BRAND OF DEMOCRACY.
Is the south swinging back to the
protectionist position which it held in
Calhoun's early days? It begins to
look that way. The query propound
ed by several democratic papers dur
ing the campaign of 1908, "What is a
democrat?" and which was answered
in many ways at that time, would get
some new sorts of answers if put for
ward now. Thirty-seven democrats,
chiefly from the south, voted against
free lumber in the division on that
item in the house, and their votes de
feated that amendment Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina has made a
very eloquent speech in his chamber
against any reduction in duties on
lumber. The Dingley rate suits him,
except that, as he intimates, if it is to
be altered at all, he wants to have the
rate increased. The North Carolina
senator was one of the persons who
shaped the tariff plank in the Bryan
platform of 1908, and, among other
things, that plank said: "We demand
the immediate repeal of the tariff on
wood pulp, print paper, lumber, tira-
I ber and logs, and that these articles be
placed upon the free list" Senator
Simmons and a powerful minority of
his southern Democratic associates
reject that declaration so far as regards
lumber, timber, logs and some other
things. On these points they stand
with Senators Aldrich, Hale and the
old guard of the republicans. St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
Nance county; with one-half the po
pulation of Platte, county, has three
good iron bridges spanning the Loup
river, and taxes are about the same in
Nance as in Platte. Nance county al
so has iron bridges spanning the Cedar
and other small streams, and has paid
for a large brick court house. Why
this difference between -the two coun
ties in the management of business af
fairs? The question is easily answer
ed. Platte county has had too much
partisan, politics mixed up with its busi
ness. To perpetuate the power of one
party breeds bad management in pub
lic affairs sometimes corruption. Why
not make a change at least once in a
quarter of a century, possibly good re
sults would follow.

ORUNKENNESS IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Autheritiaa Ar .-Planning, a
''Against thi Viot.
Fight
v-Owing to' the prevalence of drunken
aess in the Russian army' It has. been
decided to abolish the traditional gift
of a glass of vodka on certain gala
days and replace it by a glass o'f Cau
casian wine.
Gen. Keppen affirms that 70 per
cent of the crimes committed by sol
diers are, done when under the influ
ence of alcohol. Another authority
goes as far as 95.4 per cent Twelve
per cent of the confirmed drunkards
in Petersburg began to drink in the
army. The reason, for this is said to
be the excessivly low temperature
(ten degrees Reaumer) in the bar
racks. The commissariat try to "econ
omize." It is conclusively proved
that in one of the Petersburg bar
' racks, where six poods (28 pounds) of
wood a day are assigned for heating
the building, only 30 pounds, or one
fifth Is used. The soldiers are cold,
and therefore try to warm themselves
with vodka. '
Thia reform, if it may be so called,
will cost the government, which has
the spirit monopoly, a goodly sum.
One regiment alone spends over 25,000
rubles annually on vodka. If this is
replaced by wine private people will
get the benefit oMhe change. But as
one general remarked: "You can no
more teach a Russian soldier to do
without vodka than you can teach a
duck not to swim." So there is little
hope of fighting successfully against
"the vodka fever."
WOMAN MADE HOME AT KABUL.
Aged Mrs. Lincoln's Wanderings
Among Oriental People.
A singular romance is related in
connection with the announcement in
the Irish newspapers of the 'death,
at Kabul, Afghanistan, of Emily, widow
of Henry Simpson Lincoln.
Some twelve years ago a young In
dian Mohammedan studying at the
Royal College of Surgeons' at Dublin
resided with Mrs. Lincoln, who was
about 70 years of age. When the
young Indian finished his studies she
determined to accompany him back to
India, and left .the Unitarian church
for "Mohammedanism. In the course
of time the Indian obtained a position'
in Kabul as secretary to the amir of
Afghanistan, and there Mrs. Lincoln
followed him, braving the formidable
journey from Lahore to Kabul by
horse and palanquin, although about
80 years of age.
Arriving at Kabul she was obliged
to live in the retirement observed by
Mahommedan women, and saw the
young Indian no more, though she was
allowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told of loneliness beyond ex
pression and of her belief of ap
proaching death. Almost immediately
afterward came a telegram stating
that she had passed away.
First American Paper Making.
The first attempt to manufacture
paper in the United States was made
in 1690 by William Rittenhouse and
William Bradford, who established a
paper mill at Roxborough, near Phila
delphia. The paper was made wholly
of linen rags. In 1710 William de Wers
erected a second mill In Germantown,
and a third, which was erected in 1714
on the Chester creek, furnished Ben
jamin Franklin with paper. By 1810
the number of paper mills in the Uni
ted States was estimated at 185, near
ly every state possessing one or
more. In 1890 there were nearly 700 of
these mills, manufacturing printing,
writing and wrapping paper, with a
capital of $97,000,000. The manufac
ture of straw pulp for paper manufac
turing was introduced in 1854, and of
wood pulp in 1857. The census of 1900
shows 763 paper-making establish
ments, with a capital of $167,507,713,
and the value of the product $127,268,
