VERY SMALL BUSINESS.

The attempt to derlde and villify
Governor Saunders because he has seen
fit to take an active interest in post
Office location is very small businiss for
great newspapers to engage in. Gov
ernor Saunders had as much right TO go
to Washington as Judge Crounse, John
B. Furay, jim Creighton and John A.
Harbach. He had right to go there
as citizen, either in his own interest
or rs a representative of other property
owners who are interested with him.
He has right to remain there as
long as he feels able to pay
his hotel bills. His presence
at Washington is not an offense
against public morals or a menace to
good government.
He may even go so far as to take din
ner with the president and play peek
aboo with the presidents grand-daugh-
ter, who happens also to be his own
grand-child. And SO far as Omaha is
concerned, she ought to feel proud Of
tho fact that one of her honored citi-
zens enjoys relationship 10 the presi-
dent and his family.
We have exhibited great deal Of
pride because the father of one Of our
citizens was at one time a partner
of the father Of General Grant
in the hide and harness business,
at Galena. We have even thrown up
our hats when this Omaha citizen was
taken into partnership by President
Grants brother as post trader at Fort
Laramie.
Now has it come to such a pass that a
man who has been governor of Ne
| braska for seven years and United
States senator for six is to be lam
pooned and blackguarded because he
| has free entire at the white house? And
| one of the blackguards who is con-
stantly flinging mud at Governor Saun-
ders never refers to him excepting as
Father-ln-law Saunders, as if it were a
| disgrace that his daughter had married
| the son of Benjamin Harrison.
And this conceited and greedy BOBBY
| has the insolcnce to intimate corruption
and dishonesty in connection with the
senator's course in the postoflice loca-
tion. We're he manly man with a
| grain of common decency in his make
up, he would realize that he Is the last
man to talk about the greed of Father
in-law Saunders.
| How about Father-in-law Crounsei
Was he entirely disinterested when he
| Joined Son-in-law in calling that post
office meeting in a city in which he
does not reside? Was he guilty oi
| re ason when he went to Washington
| help his son-in-law sell one-fourth of
the Planter's'house block to Uncle Sam
for two prices, and at the same time
was trying to double the value of his
rool1ery across the street? If the shoe
fits one father-in-law, why is it a misdt
on the other? And why should man
who helped to obstruct the erection of c
city hall for three years keep
up his howl against Senator Saunders
and others because the postOffice has
not been located within sixty days after
Harrison had become president. Some
people never know how small they ap-
pear until their measures have been
taken in public view.

THERE is probably a good deal Of
truth In the report that the Sioux are
ready to give up nearly eleven million
acres of their reservation lands. From
all appearances, little opposition will
be made to the signing of the agree
ment to be laid before the Indians by
the Sioux commission. The new bill Is
eminently favorable to the Indians. 1t
grants them even more than what they
have demanded. Barring unforeseen
emergencies, the reservation will be
opened for settlement By the president
within comparatively short time.
The lands of the Sioux are we'll adapted
to the raising of corn and stock. They
are thoroughly watered, and compare
favorably with those in the best agri
cultural counties of Dakota.

ADVERTISEMENTS in readv-m

ADVERTISEMENTS in ready-made,
hand-me-down newspapers are worth
no more than street dodgers and cir
culars. Papers that are given away
ale seldom read and hardly ever
appreciated. AS advertising mediums
they are a sham and fraud. This
is well known to expert business
men who have made a study of adver-
tising mediums and explains why some
papers in these parts that circulate
their papers by throwing them into the
front and back yards of people who do
not want them cannot procure patron
age for their advertising columns at
any price. Merchants who pay money
for printers ink want to see results,
and they usually keep themselves we'll
informed as to where their investments
will bring largest returns.

conduits and compelling the varions
telegraph and telephone companies to
string their wires through them at an

DAKOTA evidently enjoys high rat
ing in the centers Of finance. The re-
cent sale OF territorial bonds was with
out precedent in the history of the
public credit OF that or any other terri
tory. University bonds drawing inter
est at four per cent running twenty
years, but payable at the option of the
territory after ten, sold at a premium OF
three and one-half per cent. Other
four por cent bonds commanded pre-
MUM OF five and ouo-quarter per cent.
The active competition for tho purchase
of these bonds is evidence Of the conf
dence of Investors in pakota's public

1929 Il STREET,

LINCOLN, MAY v.
Some gentlemen from Plattsmouth were
in Lincoln, to-day, who unfold scheme that
now tickles the Imagination OF the citizens of
that place. In word II is this; Engineers
report that canal can be built from Cedar
creek, fourteen miles west, into the city that
will provide water power that
will rival the noted falls of ST. An
thony at Minneapolis and, moreover, the
intiatory steps have been taken for its con
struction. In conversation with The BEE
representative the gentlemen stated that the
Is. Il Nj. railroad company stood ready TO aid
the enterprise. and would cooperate with
the city as soon as it could run engineers over
the route TO further test its praCticaDility.
There seems to be no doubt in their minds
but that it would prove to be winning
venture, and that it would realize before
cold weather. With water power they sen
sibly argued That there would be opportu-
mites for manufacturing establishments
without a rival in the state. II is learned,
also, that the canal can be constructed with
very little more expense than the average
price per mile of railway construction. Cap
itallsts stand ready to back the enterprise,
and it is understood that as soon as prcllm.
inarcs can be arranged, the permanent sur
vey will be made and work commenced. 1t
is quite probable that the metropolis of Cass
county has u bright future before her. At

quently, druggists and drug stores in some
quarters have been under very close police
surveillance, and not in vain. Warrants for

ing beer glasses. The evidence of their guilt
is thought to be conclusive. Other arrests in
