The gathering of the aitrlcultural sta
tlstlca is of the greatest Importance to Ne
braska, ulnee her pec-vle chiefly belong to
the farming class and her manufactures
are based on agricultural and stock rais
ing products. The principal difficulties ex
perienced In the work have been occasioned
by awessnrs refusing to fill In the blanks
forwarded from the bureau, and by such
farmer aa objected to Impart the necessary
Information required. The Idea has been
advanced that giving statistics to the pub
lic works a detriment to the proluclng
classes and Is wholly In the Interest of
train dealers and stock ryndleates. The

In Roumanla the corn harvest waa vari
ously estimated from 41.000,000 to 104.
(41,000 bushels, but the wheat crop, hav

not be fit for transportation before next
spring. The weather In Turkey had been
favorable to newly sown grain, and In Bul
garia unfavorable.
In Italy the weather has been cold, but
the young wheat had been protected by
anow.
Throughout the greater part of France
the outlook for the young crops waa favor
able. The French vintage of 1902 had been

that of 1901.
The Danish crops of 1902 were a good

Another feature waa the submission of a

Gentlemen of the ";nBtc and House of
Representatives: Since the meeting of the
last legislature the people have mourned
the loss of three of Its most dinstlngumheJ
citizens: I'nlted States Senator James H
Kyie djed July 1, llsil; Attorney General
John L. Pyle, February 2i. l2, and Circuit
Judge Frank J. Washataugh, May 9. lisU.
The extraordinary and extremely difficult
task of tilling the vacancies thus created
In theee .mportant positions waa thrown
upon the executive ot the slate. It is a
source of comlort that the appointment
made have alven entire satisfaction.
1 hese men were honored officials of the
atate at the time of their death and their
memory will he lastingly cherished by all
who knew them.
To the oeoule of South Dakota the nrst
two years ot the new century have been
a period of contentment and Happiness.
It haa been a period of wonderful growth
and unrivaled prosperity. All Industrial
and commercial energies have flourished
under most favorable conditions. All the
Intellectual and moral forces of the state
have been active in the cause of enlighten
ment and rlghteousnet s.
Two yesr ago. In obedience to tne will
of the people, nearly all oftlcial positions
and come or the slate Institutions required
appointments in harmony with the new
administration and subsequent develop
ments In three of the institutions revealed
conditions which not only justified, but
imperatively demanded a change.
Never berore nad me executive or tne
state oeen confronted with so many
vacancies. Impressed with the belief that
the affairs of the elate should be man
aged according to rule of business recog
nised Dy managers 01 great ana auccessiui
Industrial corporations, my first efforts to
apply these convictions came in the aelec
tlon of men to till the various positions in
the service of the state. I soon found that
my ideala of good government were not
easily put into practice. Whenever I be
lieved that the public service could be
made better I have Ignored applications
for appointments and even the recom
mendations of my liest friends In order to
carry out my convictions of duty.
DlfHcalt to Kill Office.
Generally rpeaking, the offices have been
seeking the men. Sometimes it required
a personal appeal to their sense of duty as
good citizens to assume official burdens
which to them meant neither honor nor
reward.
1 have constantly endeavored to enforce
the doctrine that the office were not
created for the benefit of any Individual
or class of individuals: that with each
position there are certain peculiar duties
and responsibilities; that whenever any
official falla to measure up to tne require
ments of his position he must step out,
willingly. If possible, but, if not. then
expeditiously by order ot the appointive
power The act of the legislature of 19ul
giving the governor power 10 unceremoni
ously remove officials is a most Important
step toward good government. In the per
formance of his duties the executive la
constantly hampered by a mass of restric
tions and limitations of power that should
be swept away. A distribution or respon
rlblltty Is uemoraltzlng and not productive
of the be 1 results to the people. With
greater freedom of action, more power,
would come greater personal accounta
bility. An enlightened and active publlp
enllment under such condition would be
productive of the highest degree of
efficiency In every department of the public

School and Endowment Land.
The difficulties encountered relating to
the Investment of school funds have de
veloped two distinct lines of thought or
policies to be pursued Ty the state wiih
the unsold school and endowment lands,
numbering 2,6iu,923 acres. On the one hand
l I maintained that these lands should
be sold within a reasonable time, not only
for the Interest to be derived from the
Investment of the proceeds, but for the
occupation of these lands and development
of the localities where these lands are
found. Counties with large tracts of un
taxed state lands object to a policy which
retards their development and throws an
undue share of the burdens of taxation for
public Improvements upon tne owners of
the Improved lands. Objection Is also made
10 an elaborate state system of tenantry.
The legislature by joint resolution, after
a thorough ulseusfclon and mature delibera
tion, might outline the policy which, In IU
judgment, would best subserve the Inter
ests of the people of the state.

lands recommendr the repeal of what la
known as the "Free Range Law," In force
in that part of the state which Ilea west
of the Missouri river.
During the laat two years hundreds of
homesteaders have established themselves
throughout this part of the state and thou
sands will he seeking homes along th-
streams In the valleys and on the beautiful
prairies where heretofore the vast herds
of caltle companies have field undisputed
possession. Changing conditions require
corresponding legislation. It is for the
legislature to ascertain and determine
whether the time has come. It surely will
come when by a repeal of the "Free Range
Law" the three-quarters of a million acres
now furnishing free range can be made a
source of revenue to the school and en
dowment funds. The stock Industry ap

pre-eminent quallncatlons and the complete
confidence of the people. Never before
have these Institutions been so effectually
under the control of a board of control
In fact as well as In name. Never before
have these Institutions been managed so
strictly In accordance with business prin
ciples so well recognisea among successful '
business men. Today these institutions
are distinctly state Institutions, managed
by the state and in the interests of the
state. By purchasing the supplies In large
quantities from the lowest responsible
bidders large sums of money have been
saved.
Maintenance of Rational Gaard.
1 deem It unnecessary to argue the Im
portance of maintaining a national guard.
Today, by force of events beyond our con
trol, the United Stales Is a world power,
the most important factor In the tre
mendous march of civilization. A large
standing army ia contrary to our traditions
and the spirit of our institutions. Hut a
free people ahould in the future, aa In the
past, on a moment's notice be able to pro
duce an army of volunteers, great, splen
did and unconquerable. Today. In th
counclla of the powers of the world, tha
influence of the United Statea must be for
the cause of righteousness among all men.
Our government must In the future, as in
the past, be able to protect Itself and en
force obedience to Its- just demands. If
necessary, by force of arms.
Members of the legislature: In the lan
guage of the adjutant general, a atate
guard composed or two regiments or In
fantry of twelve companies each, three
companies of cavalry and one or artillery,
numbering 1,239 officers and men, which

erudition and great enthusiasm.
j In view of tha regent act of congress
contemplating a uuHipiroroiv Bymein 01

It the part of wisdom to continue this office

to the entire state.

Charles Sumner once said: "Th road and

agents In advancing civilization."
In thla as well as In nearly every other
respect our atate is as fortunately situa

Here good roads ran be made at a small
expense. What we need is up-to-dat meth

the abolition of the primeval custom of
"working out" the poll and road tax. Thla
custom originated at a time when money

Conclusion.
During the laat two year the various
department have been conducted with the
greatest mutual good will, confidence and
respect, and to my co-laborers lr every
position in th service of the state I desire
to express my thanks for the kindness and
courtesy in the performance of all official
duties.
In conclusion permit me to express the
hope that your session will be pleasant and
harmonious, and that by wise, progressive
yet conservative legislation, your acta will
promote the materlnl. Intellectual and
moral growth and development of the state,
and I wish to assure you of my earnest
desire to co-operate with you In every
measure that will be for the Interests nf
the state and tends to promote the general
welfare and prosperity of the people.
