had passed the senate In favor of
free transportation for our farm
products to help the suffering
people in another country. He lugged the
Mckinley bill into IL and said that European
laborers mad been thrown out of employment
in consequence of it. To have attacked the
Mckinley till in connection with the resolu-
tion betrays an eXtraordin lry want of judg-
ment and common sense. His talk upon the
resolution was weak, punv and contempt
BILE. 1t was discreditable; but let him go on
in the way he has begun and nothing more
than his own acts and speeches will be neces-
sary to make the people repudiate him in his
own district and state.
THE defeat of the resolution by the house
offers another proof Of the saying often
heard, Give the democrats rope enough and
they will hang themselves 1t has been pre-
dicted that that party, with its over
whelming majority in the house of repre-
3entatives, would furnish the republican
party In the coming presidential election all
the campaign thunder 1T needs. They have
begun it already. They have shown their
resolution because the Russian government
stood by this country in the time of its great
trial, the war of the rebellion. The opposi-
tion was led by two confederate brigadiers
from Alabama. 1t IS the first opportunity
they have had in congress of manifesting
hostility to Russia because Russia was our
friend.

the democratic party out of his mouth. He
would have spurned and denounced it, by
the eternal as unfit to live. jackson was a
hero and a patriot, He loved his country
with an intensity that cannot De described.
He notified Calhoun and his cohorts that If
| they dared to advance one inch with their
reasonable schemes he would hang them,
ana II he had been president in our war time
he would have hung JEFF Davis and his
leading followers. He would have been a re-
| publican.
IF the dead are. ever conscious of what
transpfres here below, the actions of the
democratic party In the last thirty years
would have been sufficient to cause Jackson's
bones to rattle in his coffin. For the democ-
racy to meet in the name of Jackson and
claim his fame as peculiarly their own is an
insult to his memory. TIL democrats would
have been the object of his wrath, for he
hated treason. His fame belongs to his
country
More Relief for Russia.
COMMISSIONS Ludden has received another
big batch of letters from different parts of
the state tendering corn aud supplies for the
Russian relief fund. William Loudon Of
Omaha writes: Having noticed in the
newspapers the kind offer of General Man
ager Holdrege of the Burlington route to
transport grain for the destitute in Russia
free of charge, | would state that | viii con-
tribute a car load of corn To be loaded and
shipped at Odell on any date you may
specify
The Clay county commissioners have made
an Appropriation TO pay for a car load of
corn and write for shipping directions. The
Gosper county board has done the same.
Thomas county will send a part of a car load
or send its equivalent IN cash. The Russian
farmers living in the vicinity of Henderson,
YORK county, have raised 1926 bushels and
will make 1t COO.
Irrigation In Nebraska.
hThe State Bureau of Labor and Industrial
Statistics has been requested by the Depart
ment of Agriculture vt Washington to conf
pile statistics upon the subject OF irrigation
in Nebraska, and the officers of the bureau
are already hard at work on the matter.
Information is being gathered in reference
TO the cost of preparing land for cultivation
under irrigation, average cost per acre of
maintaining bitches, acreage already covered
by lrrlgating bitches, mileage of bitches,
number OF reservoirs, cost of bitches and
reservoirs, cost of water supply TO the user
per acre. etc. The information to be gained
by the answers to the questions above out
lined will undoubtedly throw a great deal of
light on the subject, in which a great many
people OF the state are vitally interested.
