Before we go too . far with the
current idea of reform, which pre
supposes that the task in band is to
restore certain standards of purity
and certain tradjtiona of perfection
that bare been overthrpwn by un-
scrupulous forces ia a mad race for
self-aggrandisement, bad not we
better stop and remember, that tbe
standards and traditions of toe past
never vera spywhera near pur or
perfect snd that, even if they were,
they could pot, in thfs day. be d
rantggepusly restored. It would
help ut to yea tha truth and to at
tain it If we would frankly divest
ourselves of tbe false nqtiop that
structed sufficient to take care of lour early econonjlp and political
part of the water that overflows
river banks, not only would l save
destruction In the spring, but other
destruction by means of prevention

Tha senate's reactionary action in

to assume thatVW wpuld fntall

even after we had triumphed on the

confidence of tha native, as essential

"Constant turmoil In Mexico the

the British Journalist "Perpetual

that every nation must protect Its na

Why Llvlaa r-eaaee High.
KEARNEY,' Neb March M.-T) the
Editor el Tbe Be: 1 se that President
Tkf has asked oongrea to'saak Inquiry
Wb Uvtnc U so high la this country. It
seems tq m that one doesn't have to
look tar from home to find wby It la so.
Take the bread question first. Ths miller
her at Kearney pays A cents per bushel
for Wheat, which to its cents per pound.
sad sells th flour for 1 cent per pound
tad the bran, etc, for about tVk cents
pet pound, frblcb makes tb miller about
nt) per cent. ana. of course, a turps bis
money eight QC tn time per annum.
Hie profit is evidently too high. Doe
remedy would be for each county tq build

Th next la th meat question.' The
butcher pays from t to I tea la per pound
gross tor stock to kilt' He sella It ou(

and scarcely any for toes than; 1 cent
per pound. ' Cattle drea away about t
per cent and boss about at per cent, ao
you se the meat men mak about' KO
per cent which I H per cent too much.
On remedy is for people to kill their
owa meat and eat las meat anyway. 8o
yen se th causes of tke klgh prices ef
meat end bread are tight here at horns
peopi hav cet so they want more profit
than they should bay.
