Empty ( fnrlflcatlon of our past amounts
to less than nothing if we put It forward,
and an excuse for not doing our duty in the

crooked business and crooked politics, the
alliance which adds' strength to the al

"That is as foolish as to say that It is
an .assault on 'the upright political leader.
The high regard In wlilch we uphold the
upright and honest business man who

service to the community Is the measure
of our contempt and abhorrence for that

cess by corruption and fraud, who Swindles
the publlo Instead of -serving' the public.
"rn short, 'our attitude Is merely that we
staad for -honesty as well as for progres

both bnslness men and politicians should be

courageous and fair-sighted. We are against
crookedness In the small men, but we are
against it Just-ae strongly In the bljr men.
We Judge each man by his conduct and not
by his wealth or his social station; and we
hold It to be our bounden duty to strive
steadily to make and to keep this great
American commonwealth as a true democ

legislation and our social conditions so that
there shall -be a far nearer approach than
at present towards equality of opportunity

BANKERS ON, FIRU FOOTING
(Continued ' from r'lrat Page.)
The western banks have the power of
exerting the very greatest Influence In be
half of all these-remedlal processes."
Fleet Session.
The convention began with an Invocation
by Kev. T. J. Mackay, who was followed
by J. C. French of South' Omaha. Mr.
French said a few words of welcome to the
visitors. T. E.' Williams of Aurora re
sponded, and then President Welpton gave
his annual address. 'r-
Mr. Welpton reported an Increased mem
bership and better organisation of the sev-
era! groups. Also he told of prosperity be-
Ing rife In the banking business and farm
ing interests of the state.
The address of Victor McLucas, which
as to have followed, was omitted, because
Mr. Mcl.ncas waa unable to appear. The
convention then adjourned for luncheon.
State Aedltor Barton Sneaks.
8tate Auditor 8. 11. Ha r ton told the
bunkers that "as a msyer of safety and
public policy, I believe some restriction
should be placed on the number of banks
In ,k community-staking Into account ter
ritory, population and wealth of the com
munity." ,
Mr. Barton declared that there had been
no loss to depositors (n, failed Nebraska
banks since 1904;; "In fact, there has been
but one failure since that time and In this
bank it Is conceded . that the depositors
will not lose." The speaker, made a com
parison of deposits In 1HQ0 and 1910, saying
the figures are,, respectively. 74,2f0,7OJ and
1S2, 429,288,. auincrease qf 108,148,799.
Loan Money at Home.
President Welpton told the convention
Tuesday ' morning that ' "western bankers
ought not to lend their money to the east,
but keep for our own uses. We need th
money in this part of the countrv." added
Mr. Welpton, "and therefore do not let
Wall street got hold of It.".
This and an' exposition of the resources
and wealth of Nebraska formed the essence
of the retiring president's address.
President Welpton before the noon ad
journment announced the' appointment ot
committees on nominations .and resolutions
as follows: Nominations C. K.. Burnham,
Norfolk, chairman; F. yi. Davis, Omaha;
J. P. A. Black, Hastings; G. A. Gray, Cen

results if fbr one moment we countenance
those irrigation operations that are de
signed to-filch the public.
"History ' discovers to us' that Irrigation
by private enterprise has always been In
the van. This has been true lit India, Syria,
Babylon, Egypt. 'Java, under the subjects
and successors of Montezuma; In Chile.
Peru, Argentina and the United States. Be
fore the English Imperial government began
Its great work in irrigation In India, the
people ot India, by private -enterprise, had
constructed works of various types capable
of irrigating 26,000,000 acres of land. This
acreage has been Increased to over 80,000,
000 acres by private enterprise and over
30,000,000 acres by imperial government.
Such has been the' history of the govern
ments abroad that iTiave named; in 1901
1902 the United States 'of America played
the crowning act,' on these lines for its
people in the passage' of the reclamation
act. Howeter,'-' previous' to the enactment

the large arndunty pi money .going Into
private irrlgatlm 'speculation.' If these
references haye .to do with Illegitimate ir
rigation enterprses and to when I have
already made reference, I applaud the
same. If, on the other hand, reference is
had to. the immense investments that have
been and are being made In sound, com
mercial and productive Irrigation enter
prise, then I condemn that part of the press
that has used its power In that way. It
Is a narrow and circumscribed view, and
discovers great lick pf understanding,
that, today would place any stumbling

M. Cattle company of Jay Em, In Converse

Wool Growers association was pieced on

denco against the Incendiaries has been ob
tained,, and' arrests will follow In a few
days. The Vlotlms, aided by the Wyoming
Wool Growers .association and the I..are
mle county- authorities,' will push the case
with vigor, for this 1 not the first act of
outlawry that has beau committed in the

Lambert Is a Wyoming inan.' and a member
of the Wyoming Wool Glowers association.
iMrt year his ramp was burned and Herder
Gordon assassinated. The suspected per
sons were acquitted, but It Is believed thst
the parties that burned his wagon a few
days ago will be appiehended and con
victed. One of the sheep wapons of the Platte
Valley sheep company, ranging In northern
Albany county, was destroyed by an Incen
diary fire a week ago. The work Is be
lieved to have been that of sheep camp
thieves who, after 'making away with
everything of value, burned the wagon to
cover the crime.
