FARMERS' UNION WILL OPERATE ELEVATOR HERE Officers Vote to Take Neces sary Steps to Obtain Seat on Omaha Grain Exchange. The Nebraska Farmers union proposes a terminal grain e!cva'.or in Omaha. It also proposes having a seat on the floor of the Omaha Grain exchange. Officers and members of the ex ecutive committee of the unon met in Omaha yesterday. President C. H. Gustafson presided and after considerable discussion it was de cided to enter the co-operative grain business in Omaha. Resolutions were adopted, instructing the offi cer to take the necessary steps "to procure a seat on the Omnha G.cin exchange, using necessary funds from the treasury of the state union until such time as a state to-opca-tive elevator association is oian ized." The committee recommended a meeting be called October ', oi as soon thereafter as convenient, for the purpose of effecting a statewide association of Farmers' union co operative elevators. The meeting of the officers was held behindcloSed doors. Upon its conclusion President Gustafson an nounced that within a .short time they would make a formal demand upon the officers of the Omaha Grain exchange for a seat on the tradirtg floor. If the seat is refused suit will be brought in the courts. If the union loses there, an appeal will be taken, the purpose being to obtain a decision that will determine the rights and status of the union. Whether or not the union will be given a Seat upon the trading floor is a matter for the directors to de termine, Secretary Manchester said. He said that the application would have to be presented in the regular way and voted upon the same as an application coming from an individ ual, firm or corporation. When the application for a trading seat will be made, President Gustaf son could not say, but probably with in a short time, though possibly not until after the October meeting of the elevator men. According to President Gustafson the Farmers' union elevators in Ne braska represent an investment of more than $300,000. More are being erected and through them the grain of union members is being marketed. Members now demand that at ter minal points this grain he handled through a union elevator and by men who are in sympathy with the prin ciples of the association. $20,000 Subscribed In Saunders County For Bridge at Yutan Wahoo, Neb., July 22.

" "Professor Fiske in his 'Cril'cal Period of American History,' makes the following strong and virile as sertion: 'If the day should ever ar rive (which God forbid) when the people of the different parts of our country shall allow their locai ah'iiis to be administered by prefects sent from Washington and whenNthe self government of the states shail hae been so far lost as that of the de partments of France or even so far as that of the counties of England, j on that day the progresive. political career of the American people will ve come to an end and the hopes! that have been built upon it tor the future happiness and prosperity of mankind .will be wrecked iore'er. "Under whip and spur the prohi bition bill has been forced through the house without giving that care ful consideration to certain features of the legislative which the impor tance of the legislation demanded and in my judgment when people come to know this act in its last analysis I believe there w'!l oe a re vulsion of feeling for less diastic enforcement of the 18th amend ment."
