for th-!r prep-sIMc-uj was that Incompetent
and tnaccurnte work Is b' lng done and that
some steps should be Itikc-n to stop It. A
rumbor of members here Joined In the
(horn against the employes for bad work,
but the Good and Orcpg motions weut to
the table, It being thought that they atii,ed
at depriving the speaker of his pre-oira-.
tlves. Tb .speaker slated that he would
tromptly let cut any man not competent.
Thl:i question of employes studied lh flume
v hlch was arising ovrr tho printing mat
ter and t'jere were soiiie real Interesting
doings about that time.
Invent Ipnte the Contract.
"A committee was appointed by this
bouse some time ago to see that bills were
printed In their regular order," put In Bur
gcsB of Lancaster. "Now 1 want to know
what that committee has done along this
linn. I know one thing; It has not suc
ceeded In having this order carried out.
nilla ore not pointed In their regular order.
And another thing the printers who
snatched this contract sway from the house
are not complying with that provision
which enjoins upon them the duty of re
turning' all bills within three days. To my
certain knowledge many bills have been
rnd are now being kept out five or six days.
I want this thing corrected."
This seemed to tickle all aroi'nd. Nel
ton of Douglas then swung high to the
left and landed his faithful sledge squarely
on the anvil.
"1 certainly want to add my protest to
what baa been said about the Inaccuracies
in printing," said the chairman of the Ju
dicial committee.
But Mr. Nelson found his chief source
of complaint in tho poor proof reading that
has been done.
After Rouse of Hall bad delivered a
short speech on the subject and Sweesy of
Adams had put In a couple of healthy jabs,
Sears of Hurt brought matters to a cli
max by Introducing a resolution provid
ing that the judiciary committee be In
structed to investigate tho printing con
tract and determine whether or not it is
binding on the house. Mr. Sears, Uk'e
many others, took the position that the
house had been robbed of a right when
outside parties made the contract for Its
ow'n printing.' '
"That Is our printing, and I believe we
are the ones to let this contract," said
the tall sycamore from up the woods. "Out
at -any rata, I want to be satisfied on this
point. I wsnt this committee to
determine the point. . I want to know . if
this house can't tnajk, mora satisfactory
rontract. I know one thing, that the print
ing board and party of the second part did
iiot make thia contract for our health.
And I 'won't be entirely satisfied until my
fund of information is Increased."
The resolution was adopted. .'
In connection' with this printing contro
versy it may be of interest to state that
had the opponents ef the Howell-GUbert
water works bill not been on the alert the
downfall of that tueasuro might have been
accomplished, Before this. It contained a
very serlbus defect when It was, as the
Lowell bill, being acted on by the ' senati.
Tha title and the body, of the measure
vera at variance and as the- bill passed th
nenate it was absolutely illegal,
"That is why," said a friend of the bill
itnd a member of the Douglas delegation,
"we have taken steps to have the Gilbert
Mil substituted for the Howell bill in the
Uouse. - That bill was absolutely Illegal, as
it was acted on in the senate. This was
due to an error either In printing or proof,
reading. It is true, but that would not have
cut any figure had the .measure been then
. attacked." - '
Legislative Motea.
Kennedy of Douglas, the only democratic
member from Omaha, made his first ap
pearance 1q the; hoase this afternoon, hav
ing beon detained because of illness.' Mr
Kennedy was presented by Ten Eyck and
sworn in by Speaker Mockett. The chief
Justice Ind the associate justices were out
of the city and the- lawyers of the bouse
decreed that tho speaker had the right to
perform this function.
Rouse of Hall has introduced In th.
bouse the bill providing for participator
by Nebraska In the Louisiana Purchase ex
position at St. Louis In 1H04. It maker
provision for the appointment of a boarr
of commissioners by the governor to look
out for the state's interests and appropri
ates $75,000.
Omaha labor unions arc against the pas

HOUSE HAS LIVELY; SESSION
Printing and Honae Employes Fur

bate. . .
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. 26. (Special.) The
house, after a recess since Saturday noon,
convened at 2 p. m. today the beginning
of the fourth week of the twenty-eighth
session. It immediately took up Governor
Mickey's message on the Dietrich land-
leasing bill as the' epeclal order.
After the reading of the governor's mes
sage the resolution submitted Saturday by
McAllister of Deuel waa read and num
ber of resolutions on the subject intro
duced. But on motion of Sweesy of Ad
ams, consideration of the entire subject
was deferred until 10 a. m. Tuesday, be
cause of the absence of ao many mem
bera.
A resolution by Jones of Otoe provided
that the' house' flatly reject the request of
Nebraksa's congressional; delegation that
the legislature petition congress for tbo
passage of the Dietrich bill, and that in
stead the house recommended the defeat
of the bill. The McAllister resolution, for
which this one was offered as a substi
tute, favored action In line with the rec
ommendations of President Roosevelt and
Governor Mickey.
Junkln of Gosper offered a resolution
condemning the practice of fencing graz
ing lands as wrong and calling upon con
gress for their immediate removal.
Herron of Antelope introduced a resolu
tion favoring the holding of public land
for the purpose contemplated In the home,
stead law, and providing tor an Increase to
two sections to each homesteader of arid
and aeml-arid lands. '
Shelly of Douglas was the author of a
resolution providing for the recommenda
tion by this legislature of the adoption of
President Roosevelt's plan that a commis
sion of experts be appointed to investi
gate the condition of leasing and fencing
grazing lands and aubmit Its report to
congress.
Ten Eyck of Douglas at this time an
lbunced that Kennedy of Douglas was pres
ent for the first time this session, having
been detained by Illness and moved that
iio be sworn in. The speaker named Ten
Eyck, Sears of Burt and Good of Nemaha
to wait ou a Justice of the supreme court
to administer the oath, but all the justices
being out of the city this function waa
performed by Speaker Mockett.
Prlntlnv Matter In.
The committee on public printing here
reported. In compliance with previous in
structlons of the house, that the contract
for printing bouse documents was let by
Auditor Weston, Treasurer Stueffer and
Secretary of State Marsh, as tho State
Trlntlng Board, to the Stste Journal com
pany at $1.34 a page for 500 copies, as com
PRred with $1.18 last term, providing for
the return of bills in their order and
within three days after their delivery and
a penalty of $25 for each breach of con
tract.
At this juncture general discussion
arose over the house printing contract,
which resulted in the adoption of a resolu
tion by Sears of Burt that the house judi
ciary committees be Instructed to examlno
the contract let by the 8tate Printing
Board to the State Journal company and
report as to its legality and binding effect
This discussion came up when Good of
Nemaha submitted a resolution that all
officers and employes of the hous be made
amenable to the chief clerk, which resolu
tion was sought to be amended by Gregg
of Wayne, glvlug the chief clerk power to
discharge any Incompetent employes or
officer. Both members explained that the
object of their motions was to correct cer
tain, inaccuracies la the printing of bill
and house journals.
Wilson of Pawnee thought this would be
encroaching on the Speaker's prerogative,
and finally both amendment and resolution
were tabled, having, however, induced
step to accomplish the desired result. -
During the period of discussion Speaker
Mockett stated that be had appointed sev
eral employes, uuknowa personally to him,
on the earnest reroniniaadattoa of friends,
and that it be became satisfied of the in
competency of any employ and. had the
power he would discharge him. It waa

the relief of Russell F. Loom Is, was also

Gathering Irrlscntlon Statistics.
The acceptance by congress of the prin
ciple of fedoral aid In the construction of
irrigation In the western states has given
a great Impetus to every industry in that
section of the country. The people of the
eastern states are Just beginning to realize
the opportunities offered In the territory
to be opened up. Aa the proposition do
velops a tide of immigration will inevitably
set in and this region will become one of
the most populous and prosperous in the
country. With large areas cf reclalmable
land and plenty of available water Ne
braska especially will be benefited by the
measure.
The actual work of surveying, locating
and constructing reservoirs and other Irri
gation works will be done Ijy'the geolog
ical survey. In order to obtain a 'better un
derstanding of the present extent cf Irri
gation, the location of the areas Irrigated
and to gain other Information useful in
this work, the Fifty-seventh congress au
thorized the director of the census to bring
down to date the irrigation statistics ob- i

tained in 1900 by that office. Letters of
inquiry and schedules are now being sent
out to secure the necessary information.
All Interested In irrigation should answer
as fully and as promptly as possible any
inquiries they may receive, so that the
merits of the various sections of tbe coun
try may become known. Irrigators who do
not receive blanks within a reasonable
time should notify the census office at
Washington and they will be supplied.
It is Interesting to note in this connec
tion bow much it will mean to the coun
try at large to have the arid lands of the
west reclaimed. According to the census
of 1900 the total Improved farm area of
the United States was 414,800,000 acres. It
Is conservatively estimated that the re
claimable area is not less than 60,000,000
acres. Its reclamation, therefore, will add
nearly one-eighth to the actual crop-pro
ducing area of the country and will exceed
by a liberal margin the tillable land of all
the states, excepting New York, on the
Atlantic coa3t from Maine to Florida. Al
lowing forty acres, the average size of ir
rigated farms, this area will make 1.250,000
farms, or a little less than one-fourth the
number In the United States in 1900. The
occupants of these farms will add directly
to the population 8,250.000 and indirectly In
the accompanying mercantile, professional,
manufacturing and Industrial classes at
least 3,125,000 more, a total Increase in the
population of the United States of 9,375,000,
or nearly 124 per cent.
The figures of the last census show that
tbo works required to Irrigate 7. 263. 273
acres cost $64,289,601, an average of $8.85
per acre. At this rate the expenditure re
quired to reclaim the area proposed would
be at least $450,000,000. After the govern
ment has performed Its part there will bo
no delay by the farmers 1 carrying on the
work. While tbe initial expense Is enor
mous, it Is not comparable with tbe value
of tho crops which will be grown on the
lands reclaimed. The total cost of all the
Irrigation works in use in the country Is
only three-fourths of the value of the crops
produced each year on irrigated lands.

Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts,
a soldier of tho uuion, responded to the
toaBt of "Robert? B. Lee," and Colonel
Henry Watterson, a toldier-of the Con

of Abraham Lincoln. The .third toaBt to

of New York city.
L'pward of 500 comrades of the camp and

was drunk standing, amid great ap

to Geiieral 'Lee, "Nature Made Him and
Then Broke tho Mould."
Lee Uentleiuau In War,
In responding Mr Adams said:
Reckless of llf to attain the legitimate
ends of war Lee sought to mitigate its hor
rors. Opposed to him at Oettysourg, I here,
forty years later, do him Juutire. No more
creditable order everr Issued from a com
manding general than that formulated by
Robert K. Lee ue, at the close of June,
he advanced on a war of invasion.
"No greater disgrace," he then declared,
"can befall the army, and through it the
whole people, than the perpetration of bar
barous outiages upon the innocent and de
fenseless. Such proceedings not only dis
grace the perpetrators and all connected
with them, but are subversive of the dis
cipline and efficiency of the army and de
structive of the ends of our movement. It
must be remembered that we make war
only on armed men." Lee did not, like
'J'illy and Metac, . exhort hla followers to
kill and burn, to make war hell. He did
not proclaim that he wanted no prisoners.
He Old not enjoin It upon his soldiers as a
duty to cause the peojwe of Pennsylvania to
remember they lad been there. J thank
neaven he at least was still an American
and not a Tilly nor a Melac.
While war at -beet fs bad. yet lta neces
sary and unavoidable badnees.wns not in
that campaign enhanced. In scope and
spirit Lee's order' was observed, and I
doubt if a hostile-force ever advanced in
an enemy's country or fell back from It In
retreat, leaving behind it less cause of hate
and blttefnttHt 4han'dld the army of North
ern Virginia in .hat memorable campaign
which culminated at Gettysburg. Because
he was a soldier Lee did not feel it Incum
bent upon him to Aroclalm himself a brute
or to exhort his (oTlo.wers to brutality. . . ,
One word more and I have done. Some

My suggestion was met with an answer
to which l would now make reply. It was
objected that such a memorial was to be
provided for from the na'.lonal treasury,
and that Lee, educated at West Point,
holding for yeara the commission of the
United States, had borne arms against the
nation. The rest I will nof here repeat.
The thing was pronounced Impossible. -
Now, let me here explain myself. I never
supposed lost Robert K. Lee's statue in
Washington would be provided for by an
appropriation from the national treasury.
1 did not wish It; I do not think it fitting.
Indeed, I do not rate high statues erected
by act of congress, and paid for by public
money. They have small significance.
Ieast of all would I suggest such a one in
the case of I-ee. Nor was It so with Crom
well. His ef!ly is a private gift, placed
where it is by act of Parliament. So,
when the time la ripe, should It be with
Lee, and the time will come.
This was succeeded by the rendering of
the "Bonnie Blue Flag" and songs .of ante

Lincoln's t-ove for Sooth.
In responding to tbe toast to Abraham
Lincoln. "He Was Not for an Age, but for
All Time," Colonel Henry Watterson said:

lived, in this or In any land, a nobler
gentlemun and a knlgntller soldier, de

southern roan or woman and danger. Vet
the south dor not know, except as a kind
of hearaay, that this big-brained, blg-souled
man was a friend, a friend at court, whm
friends wers most In neea, having the will
and the power to rescue It from the wolvea
of brutality and rapine whom the history
ot all wars tella us the lust of victory, the
small of battle, lures from their hiding to

its paaaluns long ago vanished from manly
bosoms. That has come to pass within a
tdiicla atineratlon in America which in
Kurope required ages to accomplish. There
14 no disputing the verdict of events. Let
Ha relate them truly ftnA mtemret them
fairly. When ihosr are gone that fouaht
the battle and posterity comes to strike
the final balanr aheet. it will be shown
that the makers of the const'tutlnn left the
, relation of lut states W the federal guv era-
ment and of the federal government fo the
states open to a double construction.
It will be told how tb mistaken notion

able cultlvutlon of sugar, rice and cotton
raised h p(r'noint property interest In
the southern section of the union, whilst In
thfc northern section, responding to the
trend of modern thought suci tho outer
'movement of mankind, there arose a great
moral sentiment aunlnst elavery. The con
flict thus established, gradually but surely
sections lizlng party lines, whs as Inevitable
as It whs Irrepressible. It was fought out
to the bitter and logical conclusion at Ap
pomattox. It found u n huddle of petty
sovereignties, held together by a rope of
sand. It made and It left us a nation.
Dull Dies a Martyr.
Mr. Russell, In replying to the toast of
Jefferson lav!s, said:
Abraham Uncoln and Jefferson Davis
were both sons of Kentucky. The rojrage,
the slnrerlty, the honesty of purpose that
seem the heritage of all true Kcntuoklans
were their in fullest measure. In their
nucestry. their edurntion, their surround
ings they typify opposing forces and ir
reconcilable political Ideas.
lo trie one the lx-ciarntion or lnuepeno
er.re mennt that "all men are created
equal." and therefore free. That was the
u tnlnant and compelling motive in tne
nubile, life of Abraham Lincoln. To the
other the same declaration meant that cer
tain colonies. owlnK separately allegiance
to Oreot Prltttln. had declared that they
"are and of rlKht ought to be free and In
dependent stales," nnd therefore that the
tares forming the federal constitution
were free and Independent.
The dominant political Idea of Jefferson
Davln was not the Individual man and his
personal rights, but the Individual state
ns the bulwark of conservative government
and exlstlnr; Institutions.
In brief, the rontrast between Lincoln
and Davis Is that tlir one believed in the
inalienable rlirhts of man. the other In the
Inalienable rights of state sovereignty.
Hoth were jlnrere. both honest and both
In lrgo mensure rlitlit.
Jefferson Davis was as morn a prodict
of his environment as Abraham Lincoln,
and he, as i.,uch ps Lincoln, died a martyr
to the principles In which he believed.
Abraham I.Incoin gave bis life for the
union nnd the freedom of man. Jefferson
Davis died politically, and his heart died
then, when Orant. refused his sword at
Aotiomattox.
The name of Jefferson Davis Is. linked
lndlssolubly with the confederate states,
lie made a government where none ex
isted. He overcame difllcultles of colossal
magnitude. His genius dominated a great
war for years. The defeat of the southern
confederacy was his defeat. Its full was
his fall. Its obsequies Ills obsequies.
The final toast of the evening was to
"The SUvnt Brigade," all rising and a
bugler sounding "taps."
TAX LEVY FOR THE SCHOOLS
(Continued from First Page.)
quoted from the reports by Mr. lloman,
Mr. Funkhouser reminded the board that
there was $110,000 in the bond redemption
fund thst had gone into that fund from the
appropriations of recent years and that the
sinking fund had been brought up to date.
He quoted other figures to show why ap
propriations had been larger since 1897
than in that year and where the money had
gone.
By a vote of 10 to 2 the board adopted
a report from the committee on high
school recommending that tho superintend
ent and the chairman of the committee on
high school be authorized to secure a
regular army officer to act as commandant
of cadets at the high school, provided a
satlsfaotory assignment of a suitable of
ficer, regularly trained at ,West Point, can
be secured at an expense not to exceed
the sum now paid for that service.
On recommendation of tbe same commit
tee, Mr. Pearson, now teacher of manual
training in the Beatrice High school, was
elected assistant teacher of manual train
ing and mechanical drawing at the high
school for the remainder of the year at a
salary of$30 per month. ,

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26 At today's ses
sion of the Mine Wofkers' convention the
special committee on tbe defense fund rec
ommended the collection of 'a large sum.
It did not deem It advisable at this time,
however, to eetabllsb a national defense
fund, but, owing to tbe unorganized condi
tion of the 'Vnlnrs lh many districts. It
was thought' best' to continue the 10 cents
per month assessment for another year. It
advocated ' that each district accumulate
and maintain a fund until it becomes suffi
ciently large to meet any crisis. Many dis
tricts already maintain such funds and It
Is believed that If It la necetssry for the
national' organization' to have funds It can
draw on the districts.
I rate Kew Injunction Lave.
The report of tbe special committee on
injunctions went fully Into details, the
committee giving the history of the opera
tion of tbe injunction law ami, alter snow
lng tho grest abuses to which It has con
tribuled. recommended that Mr. Mitchell
appoint a committee of two to go to Wash
tngton and use its influence to secure the
passage of the antl-lnjunctlon bill now ,
pending In the senate, the committee also
to be instructed to get the record of every
senator1 and representative on the bill.
The report ssys:
Injunctions In labor disputes are usually
? ranted against violent or unlawful arls.
or which the statute or common law pro
vides ample remedy, and are a clear vio
lation of the right of trial by Jury. They
go far beyond the point of protecting the
property of the plaintiff and deny to mem
bers of the trade unions restrained their
constitutional rights of public assemblage.
They prevent us from going on our own
property to hold meetings because It may
happen to be near to 'or within sight of the
property- of our employers, although It
would be difficult to Imagine how it would
be possible for us to own any property that
Is not adjacent to some other property.
They deny to us the right to talk to our
fellow citizens and endeavor to persuade
them to ceae working for the plaintiff,
and Injunctions embodying these orders
are granted because It is alleged that If
meetings are held and employes are lnduo?d
to cease work, tbe property of the em
ployer will be Injured beyond any legal
means of redress.
That their property Is entitled to the
same protection ns that of other citizens
receives cannot be denied, but when an In
junction ie Issued restraining the members
of a union from In any manner Interfering
with an employe It carries with it the as
sumption, on the part of the court, that
the emplover socking the order has a prop
erty Interest In his employes, an assump
tion absolutely contrary to the letter of our
constitution and the spirit of our laws.
The trade unionists of the country r.evor
have, and do not now ak. Immunity from
tne requirements of the law. We ore now
and ever have been defenders of law and
order. We ask no special privileges at the
hands of the government. We seek only to
secure for ourselves the same rights tnat
are accorded to other citizens of our land.
Keens More to Make Strike.
The report of the ' committee pn consti
tution suggested many changes, the most
important of which ..was a change in the
voting representation of the district! so
far- as tho power to Inaugurate a general
suspension of work waa concerned. Here
tofore every district baa had one vote In
such matters, irrespective of Its size, and
two-fifths of the d&trlcts could vote to
suspend work in all parts. Under tbo
amendment adopted there will be one vote
for every two hundred members of the
district. Under. the new order It will re
quire about three-foufths of the' districts
to order a general strike.
During consideration of the report of
the committee on Initiation fees, Mr.
Mitchell said: .... .
Von have marie provision for the mem
bers of boys between the ages of 14 and
16. It seems to me that you ought to make
some provision for boyg under 14 who work
In our mines, r or my pari., i uo uui w
Ueve fney should be allowed to wora at an.
Following this -suggestion, Delegate Ray
Hudson offered an amendment that boys
under the age bf 14 years1 old be charged
a $25- Initiation "fee; In order to make It
prohibitive. The entire matter was finally
referred ' to the different districts.
A recommendation that check welghmen
employed by miners must be members ot
the United Mine Workers for three months
and must be elected by the organization.
and that no person shall bave a vote un
less he assists in -maintaining tbe welgh
men was adopted. '
Delegates Get Mlleaa-e.
A bill for 110,980.40 was reported by
tbe committee on transportation to cover
the railroad expenses ef the 746 delegates.
A delegate from Montana, who drew $86.75,
led all of the delegates.
The tellers on tho'receat rljctlon of na
tional officers by the recently taken ref
erendum ..vote, then reported. John
Mitchell, who had no opposition for resi
dent, received 56,032 votes, and W. B. Wil
son, who bad no opposition for secretary
treasurer, received 66,125 votes.
Vice President T. L. Lewis of Ohio was
re-elected over T. V. Nichols of Pennsyl
vania by a vote of 29,03$ to 17,249.
Tbe election for delegates to tbe Amer
ican Federation of Labor resulted In the
selection of President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson, Vice President Lewis, W. D. Ryan
of IlllonjB, John Fahy of Pennsylvania, W.
H. Hoskins of Ohio and John Dempsey of
