Kosewatet : 1 have reau with ,very great
sorrow ot the tleajn of your father and 1
write for tne pui ou"-nf expressing' tha
eympathy which 1 net In your arMlcnon.
Your lather was one of the strong and
able men who have accomplished so much
In laying tha 'Inundation upon which the
growth and prosperity of tne middle west
iihs been hullt. Jhe was a man ol nne Intel
lectual powers, of upright purposes and
combined with these itialitiea a restless
energy and activity which, lor a whole gen
eration, has influenced not oniy the com
munity In which he lived, but tha entire
country. He wlU tne sudly missed, not only
in the uewapnper world, but In our political
and Industrial affairs., For many years 1
have counted him among. my friends and
his numberless act of kindness and good
will will be cherished aa long as I live.
I wish you to understand the feeling of
" sympathy which his-sudden death haa
awakened in my heart.
With cordial personal regards, yours very
truly, J. P. DOLL1VER.
WASHINGTON, T). C. Aug. M. Dear

Brooks and myself our heartfelt sympathy
in your deep affliction, notice of which ha
this moment been posted on the bulletln
boarda. Sincerely yours, '

WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 81.-Mr. Vic
tor Rosewater: I have Just recejved the aad
newa announcing your' father' sudden
death. It seems impossible to believe that
he has Just closed 'his career. I had mailed
him a letter Just en hour, before 1 received
tha message announcing his sudden death.
He seemed to be In perfect health when 1
met him at the convention, and I readily
recall a significant phrase, "This parting
hour," which he Used In hhvapeech to the
convention. J was Very sorry that I did
not have an opportunity to meet him be
fore 1 returned to Washington. I am sure
that many, especially those who supported
him for the senatorial nomination, will feel
. that they have unstained a great personal
loss. Hl thorough' knowledge of public
tiueetlons and his intimate acquaintance
with public men gave him an exceptional
equipment for senatorial service.
With sincere sympathy and best wishes
for you and the other members of the fam
ily. 1 remain, yours very truly.
, W. E. ANDREWS.
NRW VOMTC- Altar. 21 Dear Mr. RnCA-
Wl
ki
hi
water: t have this moment seen notice of
your father a sudden death and beg leave to
send you Just a word of sympathy and of
kindest remembrance and regard.
I knew your father well and held him In
high regard. Ha was determined In either
k4
la favor or tils opposition, but he was al
ways Intelligent, and he always fought In
the open and fair. He did not agree with
vmtv nT&u nw mv . iimvAruiv nn irv 1 1 1 1 1
he waa dependable whether for or against.
He never deceived me, and In tha main he
gave me very helpful support. When I
went to Lincoln I waa warned that ha was
bitterly hostile to th university. I went
to Qmaha at once, and had a very frank
and Satisfactory' conference with him a
conference which was most helpful to me,
both personally and officially: He told ma
, then that he would give me time in ''try
Out" and that Tha Bee would not take art-
. venae grounds' without letting' me know in
advance and In all things, small and great,
he kept hla promise to the last hour I was
In the state.
I speak of this because I believe It 11
lustrataa his character, and because I be
lieve ha would have dealt precisely so with
anyone who would be equally frank with
him.
Of his ability, his versatility, hla Intensity,
his Industry and vigor, and hla remarkable
Influence In tha state, it Is not necessary
to make comment.
When the father pauses from the stage,
. the axin generally feels as though for the
first time he waa full in the footlights snd
must carry his part alone. I know what
'this feeling Is. and I can easily undestand
'.hat you are experiencing this today. I am
flad that you have the preparation and
he strength for the task that conies to
you, and I am glad that your father's
mantle falls on your shoulders. With kind
tst regards and best wishes for the future.
roroiauy yours, .

aiiatalned by the paasing away of vyour
father and our friend.
It ia Impossible to estimate the loss this
sudden call has cattsedrthe state or the
gain that would have reaulted had the
grand old patriarch been spared for an
other decade. The very lesrht we can now
do Is -to express the high regard tn which
we will continue to cherish his memory and
to add our little mite to the fullness of
that sympathy . which goes out from all
over the state !o the immediate family of
our departed friend. - With deepest sym
pathy, 1 am sincerely yours,

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. l.-Mr. Victor
Rosewater: I heard of your father's sud
den death with a shock. He was one of
the founders and one of the upbulldera of
the state, and by his death Nebraska haa
lost one of its strongest men. His independ
ent spirit brooked no control, and the inde
fatigable energy of his mind wore out Its
bodily envelop before he had reached the
usual span of life. At no time in his life
waa he greater or nearer to the people
than, at the moment of defeat in the late
convention. He has left a lasting monu
ment in the great newspaper he founded.
Accept my sympathy In your loss. Truly
yours, CHARLES B. LETTON.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept l.-Mr. Victor
Rosewater: I have Just read with sincere
regret of the death of your distinguished

state and nation need in such times as
these, when reforms, for which he has al
ways stood, are being promulgated.' With
kindest regards to yourself, I am yours
very truly, W. M. GEDDES.

tune which comes to you In the death of
your beloved father. His demise la a serious
loss to the state, the nation and tha world.
Stnce a boy 12 years old, when I came to
Nebraska In 1879, I have been a reader of
hla paper, The Omaha Bee. What a monu
ment to his genius is this signal Journal.
The senatorial toga could add nothing to
his fame. He wielded a weapon mightier
than the sword. He had the heart to apeak
for the poor. He .' t-U the courage to ad
monish the rich. H, .n.rked out for him
self a path of. duty m l he walked in It
fearlessly. He preaohtC the gospel of ever
lasting truth that lm the long run It is well
with the good, and in the long run It is 111
with the wicked. God bless you and sup
port you In your sorrow and affliction.

from tha fact that we had among ua a
master mind to be classed with men ilka
Horace Greeley, Jefferson, Wendell Phillips,
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas,
who lived years ahead of their times. It
took Boston forty years to find out who
Wendell Phillips waa, and then 66.0000 of
his fellow-clttsens cams out to pay him

Edward Rosewater has founded tha great

and what he has done for Nebraska and
Omaha will be a monument to a master

OUR LETTER BOX.
- Hayes f'oaaty.
HAYES CENTER, Neb., Sept. J.-To the
Editor of Tha Bee: An editorial in the
State Journal of August X regarding
Western Land Values," doe the south-
wsetern part of the state a great Injustice.
When the writer of the editorial makts the
Statement that . only the "dry farming"
method is successful; that "one of the re
quirements Is that the land must ha tilled
two years to make one crop; that It re-
u Ires a double portion of labor to produce
crop; that It i more difficult to get a
stand of alfalfa In the west than in the
east." and other like statements, he either
made them from absolute ignorance or with
deliberate Intent to Injure the western
part of the state. The facts are that had
tha Journal asked G. A. )oveland, director
of the United States weather .bureau at
Uncoln, it would have found that tha pre
cipitation at Lincoln for the year 1906 waa
35.S7 Inches, at Hayes Center 32.8 Inches, a
slight difference of 2.61 Inches during the
ear. The monthly reports of tha bureau
for 190S will enow that about the same
ratio has been maintained, so the dear ofd
Journal would better begin teaching the
farmers of Lancaster county the principle
of "dry farming."
From a few figures taken from the ata-
tlstlcs furnished by the bureau of labor,
with offices at the capltol building, Lincoln,
Neb., .about ten blocks from the Journal
office, we find that the area, of Hayes county
720 square miles; county organised In
1884; Lancaster, 864 square miles; organised
In 1S59, somewhat larger and older than
Hayes. Total population of Hayes, ,70;
towns, 260; total farming population, 8.458.
Lancaster, 64,835; cltlea and towns, 4,232:
total farming population, 18,808. The re
port from the same bureau would hava
shown the Journal the following facts:

Totals.
836.B80 t3.960.62S 46,192 8461,132
From this we find the per capita value of
Hayes county to be H83r Lancaster, $207, a
difference of only 824 in favor of Lancaster
county In tjhe eastern part of the state and
Hayes jcounty In the southwestern.
On the basis of one farmer to each five
Inhabitants, there would be 492 farmers In
Hayes, and 8,721 In Lancaster. From this
we find that each farmer In Hayes farms
ninety-four acrea and raises tfilT worth of
grain. Lancaster farmers each farm ninety,
two acres and raise $1,064. Basing the value
or land In Hayes county at $10 per acre, we
find that the average Investment to each
farmer ,1s $840, his Income $917 or 97 per
cent. Basing the value of farm land tn
ncaater county at $60 per acre, which the
Journal will admit is not high, we find the
average investment of each farmer to be
$6.620,, hi Income,. $1,064. or I a per cent, i
It will be seen that the farmer in Hayes
county Is making 97 per cent on his Invest
ment, while his brother In Lancaster county
s making only 19 per cent.
From the same source we find that
each farmer In Hayes county has thl. y-one
nead or cattle and eighteen head of hogs;
in Lancaster county he has' fifteen head of
cattle and twelve head of hogs. The re
port does not give the value, but it will
be observed that In the per capita produc
tion of meat products the Hayea county
farmer haa twice the number of cattle and
one and one-half tlmea the number of hogs
Considering the price of cattle and hogs!
me loiai average income of tha Have.
county farmer will exceed the total Income
oi tne iancaster county farmer.
The statement that tha land must ..
tilled two years to make one crop, is ab
jolutely false, for there ia not one
tilled without raising a (crop each year Just
mo stuns aa in Lancaster. A to alfalfa
there are -now but few farmers in the
county who do not hava their alfalfa it
having been demonstrated during the paat
lew ywe inn 11 will grow and do wall
even on the highest divides and there are
very rew wno rail to get a good stand tha
nrai year.
The statement that It requires a douhi.
portion of labor to produce a crop la also
''' r Mit . man wun en horses will
rarm more acrea In Hayes countv than
can be dona In Lancaster, because our soil
wotbs easier ana we do not have so man
of the obnoxious weed with which tha
Lancaster rarmer tMU to contend. I ber.
aonally know of several farmers In Hayea
county who, without any help, put out and
cultivate ira to rw acres of corn and do
not pay one cent for help except to get
the corn husked. The facts are It costs
tha farmer less In Hayes county per acre
to plant, cultivate and harvest his crop
than it does the farmer of Lancaster
county.
Tho only conclusion to be drawn from tha
true facta and conditions are that In pro
portion to tha average production for the
paat ten yeara the lands In southwestern
Nebraaka ,are far below, or the lands In
the eastern part are far above their true
value. Judging from experience and ob-
servatlon in Hayes county for the past
eighteen yeara, I believe lands In Hayes
county win continue to advance to twice
yes, thrice thalr piesent prices, and then
the farmer will make a greater net nroflt
on his Investment and for hie labor than
tne rarmer in Lancaster and other coun
ties in the eastern part of the atate. '

1-abor day was quiet In otith Omaha
though it waa generally observed. Only the
necessary work was performed and most
of the mores were closed. There were no
parades or outward demonstrations. Bev
unl organisations held picnics of a more
or leas public nature In various parks of
the city. The Ladles' Auxiliary of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians gave a picnic
In Syndicate park during the afternoon to
which many friends' of the order flocked.
The time was spent In numerous races and
contests. Dancing Was a favorite pastime.
The women were on hand with plenty of
the best things to eat. Every one was
satisfied.
The Foresters gathered their forces and
their good thing and took special tars to
Hanscom paik. In Omaha. '
. .Vurlng the afternoon the Bohemian Turn
ers of tiie Tel Jed Sokol paraded the
ttreets In the Interests of their order. On
reaching the pavilion at Twenty-first and
streets a public meeting was held at
which City .Attorney H. B. Fleharty dellv-
red an address of welcome In place of
Mayor Hoctor, who was Indisposed irom a
cold. Following this address several tele
grams of greeting were read to the delight
of the crowd. Following this Otakar Char
vat,, editor of the Redaktor Fokrok Zapadu,
the Bohemian paper of Omaha, delivered
the oration of the day ia the native tongue
of the Bohemians. A gymnastic exhibi
tion followed In which the young women
played a large part.
There were three or four picnic parties
mong the members of the South Omaha
country club. All were enjoyable. One of
the largest of these, twenty-eix in number,
under the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Bolln
nd Mr. find Mrs. C. E. Arnold, spent the
entire afternoon at the club grounds and
finished up with a delightful little dance
In the evening.
Opening; of Carnival.
The formal opening of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen carnival came last
night with a phenomenally large attendance.
There was a parade which was led by a
band and consisted of drill teams, a few
comics and floats. The crowd, however,
was so anxious to see the parade that they
rushed Into the street in advance of it and
all around It until it waa fairly swallowed
up with the exception of the sound of the
plcelo and the baits drum. Nobody seemed
t" care whether it wiivi good parade or
whether1 there were any attractions inside
the gates or not, but flocked in behind
the. band and In front of it In an astonish
ing and uproarious manner. Freedom was
what the most of them wanted. A chance
to throw off the strictures of decorum for a
couple of hours, jostle, and shout, and
laugh, and play the thouwind pranks of
carnival time.
For the most part the crowds were civil
and lolly. One or two cases of arreet were
ada when a few colored'boys carried rpat-
tera too far. All the shows were generously
patronised.
The company haa beeri a little unfortu
nate In getting a good start. They came
here Sunday from Tarklo, .Mo., and ex
perienced several, delays In getting; on the
grounds. In the first- pIAce there was a
delay of several hours In getting trans
ferred Into the South rOmaha yards. Then
wrecked freight car: omtbe Union Pacific
kept tnatterw at -a stantlstHl' for- several
hours more. A carfctad af -apparatus, in
cluding the merry-go-round and wheels has
failed to arrive up to the present time, it
will bo set up later In the week. Other
wise the carnival' Is on. If the present

tread, causing several pedestrians to turn
around and remark, "aee the poor old man,
I wonder If he hat any home?" At length
a little boy accosted the old man and, re
membering his dead sire, asked tha septu
agenarian whither he waa going, at the
same time offering the elderly one an apple.
"Blessings on thee, my boy," quothed the
old man. '

sidewalk, and took the boy on his knee,
