"The rate war now on among the rail
ways Is of the greatest consequence tj
Omaha; as U Is decided so will Omaha be
a thriving village or a metropolitan city.
1 believe the people of the city and the
producers In the state do not appie.-late
Its significance. Klther must Omaha, be a
way station, with Its people watching the
car of frleght going through to othi-r
points, or It will be a, place for the origina
tion of freight, as Is Katisn.s City or Minne
apolis. The former will no doubt be mnre
ratlsfactory to the railways, but thrtUKh
lac k of a local market end because of ex
cessive freight rates for the long haul to
other markets the farmers annually pay
the enormous toll a clear loss to them
of between IIO.OhO.OiiO and KO.OOO.QOO.-
So spoke a prominent local grain denier,
and In support of his theory produced tho
following figures taken from government
reports and other sources:

Kehraaka Most Pay for It.
"If Chicago Is to be made the great mar
ket we will have to pay for It. I have
seen figures which show that the Minne
apolis mnrket for wheat for a number of
years has paid on an average as much as
the Chicago market sometimes a little
!e., sometimes a little more; so saving to
the producers of Minnesota the entire
amount that would have been raid In
freight to Chicago. The same thing Is
true of Kansas City. This Is not satis
factory to the railways for they would
of course like the longer haul. There are
no conditions for a market at Minneapolis
which Omaha docs not have. We are even
farther from the Chicago market. When
the grain markets were started In the
other cities their people had the same
fight we were having. In Minneapolis the
Northwestern swore It would never put In
a rate which would cut It out of the long
haul. These cities won their tights, and
so must we.
"The Great AVestern has thrown Its
weight on our side, but If wo lose we -vtll
not soon And another mllroad willing to
take up our fight.
As long as the railways maintain
hrotigh rate 2 cents less than the sum of
the two rates Omaha will be a thriving
lllage for they cannot prevent us from
irlvlng on the line with all the products
passing through to the market at the
nd of the roads; but If we win the fight
e take our place with metropolitan cities
nd the state will have a market near
at hand, and will not have to pay tribute
for the hullng to the distant eastern mar
kets. situation Not Satisfactory.
"The situation is not all satisfactory. So
long as this uncertainty continues, no one
la going to Invest capital In mills or ele
vators. If we win I know of Interests that
will put up a l.OOO.OOO bushel elevator and
there are plenty of others. At one time
the legislature passed a maximum rate
bill, know as the Newberry bill, which
only reduced the existing rates a very
small proportion as compared with the
owa rate. At the time of the enactment
temporary Injunction was Issued in 1894
by the United States supreme court. These
were the years of drougth and panic and
the railways held that with the reduced
business In consequence, t"he cut ordered
If put in effect would be practically a
confiscation of the earnings. When the
ecree was rendered It was provided that
the case might be opened up at any time
when other conditions prevailed and the
reduction would be no hardship. It is a
question If the time has not arrived. I be
lieve that' the time has come for the peo
ple' through the attorney general to ask for
the opening of this case and the enforce
ment of the law."
The directors of the grain association
spent two hours Tuesday afternoon In dls
cussing the situation. They desire to at
once take some action which will bring
to an end the uncertainty regarding rates.
Several courses of action were considered
and plans were made for further active
work In aid of the grain market. It Is
not known, what move will be made, but
It Is understood that something of import
ance will be done at once.

were debated In the RelchBUg today. Heir
Blnger tsoclalistl leading the attuik on
the government for excluding, as he saw.
Impressionistic paintings from the Uermtfn
exhibit.
Kmperor William, he said, had termed
Impressionistic work "'gutter alt" and after
nowlng his majesty's view, naturally the
government commission could not be fair
the . Impressionistic school. America
did not wsnt the opinion of one mini, but
wished to Judge for Itself what the Mer
man Impressionists were doing. America
could become a great market for German
rt, and therefore national srt ought to be
completely represented.
Home Secretary von Posadowskl-Wehner
said he did not profess to be a deciding
udge of art matters. The impressionists
would be represented at St. IjouI. He be
lieved the Impressionists were working on
lines that would be wholesome for art.
The debate brought many covert attacks
on Emperor William's Influence, and many
oyallst members of the Reichstag, like
Count Orlela and Herr von Kardarrf. de
precated Em per 0 William's activity as a
patron of art.
Referring to the Impressionist school.
Count Oriela said this was an Intellectual
movement In the people which It was Im
possible to suppress by artificial measures.
No man, he said, however high in the em
pire he may be, can order art to pursue
other paths. Helnrlch Ernst Mueller
quoted from Emperor William's well known
art speech, delivered March 20, 1301, as fol-
ws:
"Art, Ignoring the limits I . have de
scribed, is not art."
Herr Mueller said that never a speech
from royal lips has been received with
uch a degree of protest. Millions of con
servatives and loyalists dissenting from
this conception of art.
Another speaker said the press could not
o everything and that his majesty must
call a halt at art. Herr Mueller, speaking
again, declared that court aesthetlclsm was
beginning to be born and "what are Its
achievements? Everywhere meaningless
decorations." Continuing the speaker re
ferred to the groups of marble statues of
the Rrandenbourg and Hohenitollern rulers

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. lti. The republican
leaders are making a strenuous effort to
prevent a contest oyer the election of a
successor to the late Senator Hiinna and
strong Influence will be brought on the
governor to this end.. Events are moving
rapidly, however, and despite the effort
to keep the senatorial, .succession in the
background for the present tho lines are
already practically drawn.
The active political adherents of the late
Senator Hanna ' In Toledo, Cleveland and
Columbus are outspoken for the selection
of General Charles .ruck. The friends of
Senator Foraker are ijf'g up for Governor
lerrick, whose election , to the senate
would place Lieutenant Governor Warren
S. Harding, a Foraker man, at the head
of the party, 'In the state.
The Hanna men have not decided what
o do !n the event of Governor Herrlck
being a candidate. They . may support
him. Some of them talk of continuing to
support Dick In that event, and if he
should not be strong enough, to line up
for Secretary of War Taft. The reported
candidacy of George It. Cox would com
plicate matters. They however profess to
believe that Herrlck will not be a candi
date. A Hanna leader today declared to be true
the report that Senator Hanna, shortly be
fore his death, expressed the desire that
he should be succeeded ' by Ceneral Pick.
This request from the dying ronator Till

spring from a too acid blood and the depooit of gritty,
irritating particles of acrid matter in the joints and mus
cles, producing keen, cutting pains, inflammation and
swelling, and a levensn condi
tion of the whole system.
