TEKAMAH, Neb., Oct 23.-To the Editor Of
TnE BEE: want to tell you the way the
World Herald got its prohibition statistics in
Burt county. W. H. Korns, editor of the
Burt County Herald, went to Mr.. Malmsten,
county clerk, and to Mr.. Nesbit. county
treasurer. They both positively refused to
even guess at il for him and gave no figures
at all Mr.. Karns then came to me and
asked how much majority the amendment
would have in thus county, anu without even
stopping to think the matter over 1 said /
CUES sed 600 or 800. If the estimate was
made IN all counties the same way, the value
of the World Herald's production doesn't
have to be guessed at.

Well Meaning But Misguided.

Tho Post, while always ready to do full
Justice to tho excellent motives by which
prohlbitionists are actuated, has held that
tho high-licensc system furnishes the best,
most practical and most successful means OF
controlling the liquor traffic and keeping it
within bounds, 1t believes that experience
confirms this conclusion and that all the
known facts in the case point in this direc-
ton. With no hostility to prohibition, there
fore, it is in favor of high license as the more
likely, and consequently the more excellent
way.

MISSOURI furnishes parallel to the
tragic death OF Judge Terry in Califor-
MIA. Lawyer Bowman, who was killed
near st. Louis a few days ago, was one
of the fighting, vlndictive barristers
with whom the state is afflicted. He
was the leader in the frenzied prosecu-
tion OF Colonel Cockerill, then manag-
ing editor OF the Post Dispatch, which
eliminated in the death of a partisan.

FARM PROPERTY IN THE CENSUS.
In providing for the eleventh census
congress judiciously omitted q number
OF subjects which we're embraced In the
tenth, but it might very wisely have
enlarged the scope OF the next census
bv requiring the collection OF data
showing the condition OF the farm
property OF the country. Such an in
curry should include information re-
garding the extent to which such prop
erty is mortgaged, what proportion oil IT
is free from debt, how much OF the
farming lands OF the country
are owned by those who cultivate them.
md the amount that is cultivated by
tenants, such information to be, OF course,
arranged by states.
The importance OF carefully obtained
statistics OF this kind, for obvious
economic reasons, will not be questioned.
At present the country is wholly with
out information OF a trustworthy char
acter showing the condition Of its farm
property, so that there is no means OF
knowing whether one OF its greatest
interests is obtaining an equitable
share of the wealth it creates
or whether 1t is as whole
prosperous or the reverse. grea'
deal of loose statement and intentional
misinformation regarding this matter
has been given the public within the
last few years, the effect OF which hal
been more or less to the disadvantage
OF the farming interests, particularly
In the west, and under existing cir
cumstances anything stated with o
show of authority carries some weight
because there is no way to disprove it.
The only way to obtain this informa
tion so that it shall be as Trustworthy
as data difficult to secure, and subject
| to constant chang IS, can be, is for the
government to prosecute the inquiry.
| Congress not having made provision
| for this, further legislation will be
necessary, and doubtless there will
be no trouble in securing this If the in

HOW 10 Build un n Town.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
makes the following very truthful re-
mark about how to build up Southern
towns, and we commend it to the at
tention Of our readers in the South,
especially to those who are seeking to
develop industrial towns:
Nine years ago Chattanooga, Tenn,
raised large sum OF money for the
purpose of advertising its advantages.
The money was well spent, although
it did not bring in an immediate re-
turn. 1t made the town talked about,
induced capitalists and investors to go
there and examine its advantages
and, as it was built on solid founda-
tiOns, these visits resulted in large in
yestments and immigration. The re-
suits are seen to-day in a city OF nearly
10000 people, where, nine years ago,
there were but 10000, and possessing
hundreds Of new and profitable indus.
tries. Chattanooga has proved what
great advantages come from advertis-
ing, and every Southern city will reap
similar rewards from making known
its resources. We have noticed dis
position on the partof some of them
to expect too immediate returns from
an investment OF this kind. They ex
pect to see capital and immigrants
pouring in the very moment the ap
peal for them is made. Chattanooga
has learned better, has discovered tha
it takes some years for this advertising
to have any effect, but that if the ad
vantages OF town are really all i
claims it need have no fear that capita
will not ultimately find it and build i
up. Chattanooga was one Of the frs
of Southern cities to advertise; it is
consequently, one of the first to secur,
the benefits of advertisements.
