WILL CROSS THE ISLAND OF LUZON .Mlaunricraf nndlnii ot Xcsr Oamr l,n l Corrected .luilae Kiilllvnn In llnill)' Ilnrt Oriicrnl Sen at the Slate. (From n Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 20.(8ppcIhI.) Informa tion cometi from Manila that Senator Diet rich will ndvocnto In tho next congress the construction of n canal across tho Island of Luzon. Hp will nlso urge the estab lishment of American banks In tho Islands. Concerning his plans Senator Dietrich spoko us follqws; "My observations as yet havo not been fumclent for rr.o to form an opinion of what tho archipelago needs and thercforo I cannot say (Infinitely what I will recom mend In thu forthcoming congress. Condi tions may bo different In other Islands from those In Luzon and they may necessi tate special legislation. "From a mercantile standpoint I think ft system of American banks Is noedod here more IhHn anything cleo. Doth the Hong Kong nnd Shanghai banks nnd the chartered banks of India, Australia and China havo only branches here, while their principal Intcrasts llo elsewhere. "Now, if a system of American banks won to bn established In the various cities of tho Philippines banks having all their Interests In tho Philippines they would help greatly In developing tho country and would encourage commercial and other In dustries and enterprises. I think American liai.k niiMt bn established hern beforo a gren. deal of American capital will bo brought to tho Islands. These branches of Hong Kong and Shanghai nnd tho chartered banks nrn not greatly Interested In en couraging business her?, as their principal Interests nrn not In theso Islands. As soon ns the franchises ran bo grantod I think thero will bo no lack of American capital to develop tco Islands. "Another thing which Is badly needed Is a largo port on tho eastern coast of Luzon, to he used as n distributing point. This port should be on the east coast, op posite. Manila, and a ranal should be con structed through tho Islnnd to allow traffic between the two ports. I think a canal might bo constructed by way of tho Pnslg river and tho Ink, as I understand thnt tho distance from the uppor end of tho Jkn to tho rnclflc Is not groaf." Commenting upon Senator Dietrich's sug p t Inn tho Manila Now American says: "Senator Dietrich's scheme of n canal across Luzon Is not so chimerical as It may seom. It 1b ahead of tho tlmo, that Is nil. The obstacles, great as they are, apparently, nro not Insurmountable. Tho senator's suggestion relatlvo to tho establishment of a system of American banks Is not only thoroughly practical, but timely. Amer ican banks nro nn nbsoluto necessity for thu dnvelopment of the country and they will no doubt come after congress takes action looking to tho better government of tho Islands. Wo hopo that not only Senator Dietrich, but all Influential Amcrlcnns, will, on their return home, point nut the field held by tho Philippines for nmplo banking capital." Opinion mi .Vi-ltrnNlm t.nnit I.atvN. For the purpose of correcting a general misunderstanding among the county clerks of the stnto regarding n provision of tho Nebraska game law, Attorney General Trout today delivered tho following opinion, it being In response to nn Inquiry from Treasurer Sttlefer ns to whether n clerk, In remitting ltcenso fees, is required to pay exchange or tho expense of transporting thu funds: "Under Hocllon 1, article iv, of chapter xxxl, of the compiled statutes, It Is the duty of tho county clerk to 'remit the llcenso fco to raid state trensurcr.' The duty of remitting the llcenso fees Is thus Imposed upon the county clerk. There Is no Inti mation In tho stntute that the state treas urer Is to receive tho money at tho office of the county clerk or that the former shall pay tho expense of transmitting tho fees to tho treasury. Section 7 of tho chapter cited requires tho stnte treasurer to pay over for tho uso of tho school fund 'all moneys derived from licenses and per mits Issued pursuant to this act.' He can not, therefore, deduct from tho funds the expense of exchange or transportation. In appropriating money for tho use of the state treasury the legislature mndo no pro vision for such exponscs, but, ns already stated, that body did require county clerks to re 'It lo tho stnto treasurer license fees collected ur.,1- tho gamo law. The duty thus Imposed is not discharged by de livering license, fees to an express company without pnyment of tho carrier's charges. "Tho supreme court, in defining the du ties of public officers, has suld: 'A public officer- must perform every servlco required of him by law nnd he must look to tho statute for his compensation. If It pro vldeu none, then tho services nrn gratuitous. A person accepting a public office takes It with Its burdens and whenever those bocomo Insufferably oppressive he may re sort to that excellent nnd adsquato remedy which a wise legislative foresight has pro vided, viz., a letter of resignation, ad dressed to the proper authorities.' "An official duty Imposed by statute HURRY UP! Kverywherr one bears that exnresslon "hutry upl It Is a genuine Americanism expressive of the "rush" in which we live. Nothing is swift enough for us. We race against steam and lightning and find t h e m slow. We grudge the time given to eating, and rush through meals ns though life depended upon our haste. Life does depend on j our haste, but not in 'that sense. Look at the obituary columns of the papers and sec bow many promi nent men are carried war by "stomach trouble,' "acute indl- f ;ration and other re sted diseases. Their lives have in general been sacrificed to the haste and rush of business which over looked the fact that food can only nourish the body when digest ed and assimilated and that the digestive and assimilative processes fan' be hurried. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, cures disease of the stomach and the asso ciated organs of digestion and nutrition. The source of all physical strength is food, ptopetly digested and perfectly assimilated. By enabling; the perfect digestion and assim ilation of food "Golden Medical Discovery increases and enriches the blood supply and sends new strength to every organ of the body. "I was st one time i I thought almoat at death1 door." wrltra Nr. J. . Dell, of leaodo, Vn nuren Co., Iowa. "I was confined to my hou and part of the time to my bed. I had taken qtiaiitltit of mtdlcints but they only sremed to leed the disease ; but I roust say that 'Golden Medical Dlaeovery' has cured me, and today I am'atouter than I nave been for twenty yeir. I am now fort)vhree years old." FxitR. Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser sent frtt to you on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only.

Pierce, Buffalo, N, Y, i cannot be evaded because Its performance Is attended with a slight pecuniary burden. "According to my understanding of the law, the county clerks are required to transmit to the Btato treasurer, without ex pense to him, all the fees collected by them for licenses Issued under the new game law." 1'lnliti for I'lnlliltiK Siiitll'. Tho iitate Board of Public Lands nnd Rulldlngs will meet tomorrow lo consider the motion for a reconsideration of the action taken In discounting the claim of W. J. Falk for clothing supplies furnished tho Hospital for Insane nt Hastings. The purchases were made by the fusion admin istration and It Is claimed that they were extravagant beyond reason, tho clothing being bought In large wholesale lots at tho highest retail prices. The board, nfterd carefully considering the evidence In tho ense, r.greed unanimously that a reduction of one-third In the amount claimed to be due would be equitable to nil concerned.
