Lifting1 the Cigar Box Lid.
In tbe trial of defaulting State
Treasurer Hartley a cigar box contain
ing notes, certificates of deposit, secur
ities, I. O. U.'s and other cats and
dogs, said to represent the current
and school funds entrusted to the
great embezzler when he turned over
from his first term to his second term,
figured promlnsntly In the evidence.
It became common belief that If the
lid could be pried off that oigar box
its contents would disclose the Iden
tity of a large number of accessories
or beneficiaries of the crime to shield
whom Hartley went to the peniten
tiary with his lips sealed.
Once the cigar box lid lifted enough
to let tbe public know that Bartley
had tried to Sx the candidate nomi
nated to succeed him in office and to
drive this candidate after his defeat
in ignominy from the state.
The lid tilted again a. few years
later sufficiently to blaien forth the
loan of a small sum of stolen money
to a candidate for re-election for uni
versity regent, who, though he bad
repaid the amount to .Hartley In the
pen, quickly gave his resignation to
the republican state committee and
made way for another on the ticket.
Now the cigar box lid has lifted
again and verified what had been pre
viously generally understood upon in
formation and belief that Congress
man Hitchcock, now aspiring to be
United States senator, editor of the
democratic World-Herald, which al
ways palliated his offense and de
fended his pardon, was cheek by Jowl
with Bartley while he was plundering
the treasury and was a borrower of
stolen public money which has not to
this day been repaid to the state. The
proof is positive in spite of Mr. Hitch
cock's shifty denials that any docu
ments bearing his autograph helped
bulge the cigar box.
Will. Hitchcock get off tbe ticket as
he forced another Bartley beneficiary
off the ticket?
Will Hitchcock put it back as he has
often called on other public freeboot
ers to do?
Wu and the Hair Market.
Now gome hypercritical fault-finders
are ascribing ulterior I motives to Wu
Ting-fang's crusade against the Chi
nese queue, suggesting that it pos
sesses a commercial aspect. Some
evil-minded critics are mean enough
to hint that the wily Wu Is getting a
"drag" or "rake-off" on every pig-tall
discarded; that the whole scheme
originated in the fertile brain of for
eign hairdressers Paris, perhaps
and that the former Chinese minister
to the United States was chosen as the
best agent for carrying out tbe plan.
Of course, this entire story Is a pure
fabrication. Minister Wu would not
have anything to do with such a trans
action. In the first place, he is above
it, and In the next place, he does not
need the money. But that does not
entirely eliminate the commercial as
pect of this queue-killing crusade, over
and aside from any motive Mr. Wu
may have. False hair, we know. Is In
demand these days, in America as well
as Europe. Dealers are finding it ex
tremely hard to supply the demand.
They are urging women to save their
combings and have them made up into
rats and other head animals, so that
they will no doubt be quick to pick up
the Chink's queue when he has cut It
off.
And women need not blink at the
Idea, either, for they have been wear
ing hair from China a long time. It
may not have been queue hair, but It
was off Chinamen's heads the real
thing, whether amputated before or
after death. One wonders how far
this foolish fashion will take women
before they awake to the realization
that their own natural adornment
might, in most cases, be used to much
better and more sightly advantage
than these huge bundles of Imported
wares.
Stamping Out Smuggling.
Emboldened by its success in the
Sugar trust fraud and other large
smuggling cases, the government has
undertaken another Immense task in
the matter of collecting absorbed im
port duties and bringing to Justice
men, who, it is said, have systematic
ally cheated the revenue laws for
years. The alleged offenders operate
one of the largest art and jewelry es
tablishments on the continent and the
government has seized the entire
place.
The day of the wholesale smuggler
Is rapidly passing In this country.
Large and small importers are being
brought to rigid compliance with tbe
law and the present administration is
showing itself to be no respector of
persons in this regard. Men, and even
women, high up in social and finan
cial distinction have Seen humbled in
this laudable undertafc tng and tbe gov
ernment deserves all th praise It gets
for this deterniinc-d vffort.
The trouble wag '.?iat smuggling had
became almost a babit. People who
have been cheating the revenue offi
cers were not generally people who
under other circumstances would defy
the law. Often they were the victims
of a system and the system had to be
destroyed. That, however, offers no
reason for condoning or palliating the
offense. Po long as the smugglers were
permitted to find Immunity In their
respectability or wealth, or so long as
they could argue the unpunished guilt
of others in extenuation of their of
fenses, the practice could not be suc
cessfully attacked and stopped. It was
only when ton men charged with the
administration of law became to blind
to Justice at the statue emblematic of
that virtue, that it was at all possible
to enforce tbe law and cut out those,
parasitical influences that were nulli
fying it. J
It is not at a.l probable that we;
shall return to the old order and tbe
government will be richer and stronger!
as a result of this splendid, practical
reform, than which none other ac-i
complished in recent years stands out!
with more credit to the men respon
sible for it.
A Relic of Barbarism.
At a recent meeting of passenger
agents representing the big railroads
of the country a set of uniform rules
and regulations were adopted defining
and governing the baggage privileges
of the traveling public. The number
of pounds of luggage, tbe limit of size,
the accommodations for dogs, guns,
bicycles and canary birds, the system
of through checking, the requirements
for identifying baggage when checks
are lost, are all minutely stipulated.
But in addition to these rational and
salutary regulations is a reannounce
nient of the old rule requiring two
full-fare, first-class passenger tickets
for every corpse, one for the remains
carried in the baggage car, with a
right to 150 pounds of baggage free
for the deceased and the other for an
accompanying passenger in the coach.
If there is one thing which our rail
roads are more backward than in an
other it is in this obsolete method of
transporting dead bodies. Why
should the fiction be preserved that
the corpse should-travel by rail on the
same basis as a live person, when the
fiction la maintained in no other public
conveyance? Why should the rail
roads in this twentieth century go
through the motions of carrying 160
pounds of baggage free for someone
who has no use for baggage at all?
Why should a corpse have to go into
the baggage car, anyway, along with
the trunks, sample cases, dogs, guns,
bicycles and canary birds? Why
should the railroads Insist on having
a full-fare passenger in the coach to
accompany the corpse In cases where
there is no need for it whatever? Why
should not the railroads shake off this
tradition, provide proper accommoda
tion for carrying corpses and make a
charge for the service on the same
basis tbat it makes charges for other
services?
To thoughtful people our funeral
customs are little better than barbar
ous, and the way the dead bodies of
loved ones are transported by rail does
not lessen the asperity.
The Curfew'. Muffled Clapper.
"The curfew shall not ring tonight."
Somebody is making good on that
poetic declaration. Somebody is hang
ing on the clapper. Since the death
of the venerable Alexander Hogeland,
the father of this curfew movement,
the old bell does not sound as fre
quently as before. . The ominous hour
of "9" seems to have lost most of its
terrors for young America. Did the
crusade die with the crusader?
For years Mr. Hogeland, whose
home was once in Nebraska, went up
and down the land preaching the gos
pel of his curfew and seeing that it
was kept alive, talking to boys and
those charged with their control. He
was a familiar figure in almost every
American city. But in th last year
and more not only is he missed in
many cities, it seems, but also the
work he founded and did so much for
Is missed.
Is there not enough of practical
good in this custom to warrant what
effort is required to keep it alive?
Boys who are on the streets after
9 o'clock at night need to be told that
It Is time to get home. It is not only
good for them, it Is good for older peo
ple, who, weary with the day's work,
are trying to get some rest and quiet
within, and they cannot get it very
easily with howling voices outside.
Some of out- resident sections might
even be Improved of nights If the cur
few law went Into operation at
8 o'clock Instead of 9.
Virtue of Land Ownership.
This Indomitable desire of Amer
icans to own homes, to acquire land,
whether In city, town or country, indi
cates a steadfast healthfulness of the
nation. Tbe opening up of new terri
tory to settlement and the commercial
advantages involved are not to be
compared with that larger object of
multiplying the number of home own
ers. It inspires thrift and Industry
and produces Independence and pros
perity in the individual citizen,
which goes to make up a strong and
powerful people.
Nations that have gone to the front
have been those whose people were
rooted to the land. No country of
tenantry or seml-terfdom has long en
dured as a strong nation. Agrarian
rights that enlarged private ownership
have always Imparted virtues to the
people enjoying tbem. They have al
ways enhanced the powers and possi
bilities of the Individual and tended
to diminish those of the autocrat or
oppressive government. In France at
one time tbe proposal of an agrarian
law was met by threat of punishment
to tbe person presenting It, simply be
cause the powers feared an equal dis
tribution of land under such a statute.
This, of course, was an overdrawn
conception, but it goet to show how
such conditions have been regarded by
those who did not advocate the largest
popular rights. Even the first agrar
ian law enacted In Rome under tbe
tribune, Liclnius Stolo, which re
stricted the rights of the private clti
gen to occupation of a tract of land
still bld by tbe state more than he
had ever enjoyed, was welcomed and
became a step toward better things.
But the conditions in more modern
countries supply better contrasts. The
landlordism, for instance, of the Brit
ish Isles and continental Europe we
see In the present dy have worked
serious Injuries to those countries by
reducing the people to a state of com
parative dependence and, in some
cases, penury and forcing the more
thrifty of the population to migrate to
other countries that offered opportuni
ties to acquire and own land. Here
they may be counted by the hundreds
of thousands In the United States,
happy and wholesome In their land
ownership. And this foreign blood
Infused into ours has brought more
red corpuscles of citizenship than
white, has raised more than lowered
the standard of American Individu
ality. Nearly every enterprising city
among us boasts of having more home
owners, comparatively, than any other
American city. Real estate men
"play up" the fact when it exists that
"the people In this block own their
homes" as an inducement to a pros
pective purchaser. And home-owning
in the city or town Is only one step re
moved from land-owning In the coun
try. In both there Is the virtue of
laudable ambition, of thrift, frugality
and Independence. It is to be hoped
that, instead of Blackening this move
ment to "buy land," everything will
be done to give It reasonable momen
tum. The nation needs the home
owner and the man who tills the soil.
Alfalfa in New England.
It must be the source of some satis
faction to western farmers to learn
that their king of forage crops, al
falfa, has been adopted by the New
England husbandmen. Yet It Is
natural, for the glories and the stories
of alfalfa, its fame and Its fortune,
have gone from state to state and
from land to fand. It may, Indeed, be
considered a matter of some surprise
that the farmers of New England did
not a long time ago come to appre
ciate its value.
Again, it was natural that the east
erners should adopt this grass, for
they have been slowly but steadily
coming to the ways of the west in dif
ferent lines of agricultural pursuit.
Some of their leading railroads have
followed the example of our western
lines in Bending out educational trains
and aiding farmers in promoting their
industry, and our methods of Intensi
fied farming have attracted wide at
tention. Long ago our hogs, In dressed
form; our sheep, our wool and our
grain found comfortable and conveni
ent landing In the New England
states.
Alfalfa Is one of the sturdiest and
most prolific crops that come from the
farm. In southern California, where
land la highly adapted and seasons
long, It has been known to yield as
many aa eight crops a year; In Ne
braska It will turn out four or five,
and It is staple In every western state.
Even in New England one farmer cut
three crops from July 8 to September
8, and believed he could cut a fourth,
but preferred to leave it for winter
protection. It is not only a big money
maker, It is a soil-saver as well, and as
good feed as stock can have. And
with all its vast Increase in production
its price continues to rise. New Eng
land has done well to take hold of It
and It will do better to increase Its
acreage from year to year.
Tragedy of the Ministry.
Much Is being said these days about
the miserably low pay given ministers
of the gospel, but about tbe most im
pressive argument on tbe subject that
has come to our attention is contained
in this letter to the Kansas City Star:
To The Star: I are a young man aakad
could 'he get married on $25 a week. My
husband la a preacher. Ilia salary for the
I ant year waa $460 and parsonage. At the
last conference in September my huaband
M transferred 400 miles from hit lait
year's work. The salary paid In tha naw
field was $2 a year and $100 for missionary
work. To move would coat $100, with all
new stovea to buy again, aa here wa had
natural gas.
The facta aa they are meant tha preacher
took hit trunk where hit alder and bishop
ent him, and I, the wife, will have to hire
out to support myself and our boy.
Each fcucceedlng year some men are put
on circuits where tha people cannot pay
even a living salary. Men who can preach
are never given a trial until they have
worked for years In frontier fields. I
have aupplled all the fundi to enable ut to
live in comfort, but ran do to no more, aa
I woum be in aoaoiute poverty In a year
or two. On our laat year'a work one
church waa fifteen mllea from home. I
bought "the preacher" a horsa and buggy,
and now I have had to dispose of It at a
los-a of $60.
Young women in business had beat re
main theie. A man hua no right to bring
)ila family down to obscurity. The coat of
living affect a the preacher aa well aa tha
bulnean man. The time ia coming when
people will know that their paator must be
supported or else men will look out for
other ways of living. A preacher tnuat eat
and wear good clothea.
A PREACHER S WIFE.
What la there the church can offer
in reply to this shameful Indictment?
What can it say to counteract the
baleful influence of such a condition?
How many cases as tbla there are we
do not know, but only a few weeks
ago some fifty young preachers In tbe
North Irwa Methodist conference de
rnittrd because of inadequate pay.
What Influence can a church expect to
have for good that accords such nig
gardly treatment to the men and
women it enlists in its service as lead
ers? It cannot In this day and age
hide behind Christ's injunction to his
apostles, and even that assures the
minister that "tha workman la worthy
of his hire," or "xvzZ?
The church resents worldly criti
cism, but It must expect criticism bo
long aa it countenances such a state
of sffalrs. Men have been punished
by law for falling to provide for their
families, bnt here is a charge that the
church compels a man In the Chris
tian ministry to neglect his wife and
force her to stoop to mental service,
which unfits her for her relations as
a pastor's wife and must Impair, If
not destroy, bis pastoral Influence. If
it Is to accomplish Its mlstton In this
age of vast enlightenment and pro
gress the church wilt have to turn
around completely on this matter of
paying the men it calls to do Its chief
work.
The case In hand may be an ex
treme, or even an Isolated, one, but
Just the same it emphasizes the low
scale of compensation, entirely too low
for the character of service demanded.
It It not too much to presume that the
scant 4,102 votes by which Bryan carried
Nebraska ware due to thla plank for free
lumber in tha Denver platform. Colller'l
Weekly.
Oh, pshaw! Everyone hereabouts
knows that they were due to nothing
of the kind. They were due to two
things: First, the false labels put on
Bryan electors which enabled them to
go on the ballot a second time, mis
branded as populists, and purloin the
votes Intended for "Tom" Watsnn;
and second, the money and support
thrown to the democratic ticket by the
combine of brewers, liquor dealers and
corporations. The people of Ne
braska are doubtless for free lumber,
but that was not an issue in the last
presidential campaign in this state.
What will Bryan do about it? Will
he knowingly continue to give even
lip - endorsement to a candidate for
United States senator who got some
of the state treasury loot, for which
Bartley served time In the peniten
tiary? Here's a chance for Mr. Bryan
to apply the moral test, and to place
honesty above partisanship the man
above the dollar.

allowed to lie too long dormant, or
poorly used.

Will astonish those who in
vestigate, and for this reason I
would like to have those who are
Interested In making a profitable
Investment give the following facts
careful consideration.
Five-acre tracts, planted and
cared for, are offered for sale at
tbe attractive price of B 750, cah
or on payments to suits purchaser,
which accordlnglng to experts and
the most indesputable authorities
will show a profit averaging
$1,000 per annum from the time B
the Investment Is made: the trees
growing on an average of from 12
to 16 feet per annum, and increase
proportionately In diameter. The
trees can be cut In seven and eight
years, but 10 years Is recognized
as being the most profitable age,
at which time five acres ought to
cut 500,000 feet, which sells today
at from $100 to $140 per 1,000
feet, board measure. The price
per 1,000 feet will increase yearly,
as hardwood Is becoming more and
more scarce and prices advance ac
cordingly. The Forestry Society, in its
Bulletin No. 3 makes this state
ment: "It will not be a question
of finding buyers, but of buyers
finding the trees. Every tree big
enough for poles will be worth
$8 or more and every cross tie will
bring its price"; as we contract to
deliver 600 trees per acre, thu
statement made by tbe Forestry
Society shows a value In poles
alone of $4,000 per acre.
The contract to deliver to you
600 trees per acre in good healthy
condition will be secured by a
bond issued by the U. S. Fidelity
ft Guaranty Co.
Let me urge you to call and in
vestigate, or write me for further
particulars.
