PATRONJZE HOME IN DUSTRIES,

''-hH LCo
THE BEE was the pioneer in counsel
ing Nebraskans to %patronize home in
dustries anG it heartily welcomes every
evidence of the value. of this advice to
the manufacturing interests of the state.
Perhaps the most important result from
the agitation of this policy is the better
opportunity which our home manufac-
turers will hereafter be given to furnish
the supplies for the public Institutions
of the state. Until now these have been
almost wholly furnished by outside man
ufacturers, and 1T goes without saying
that the state has not always received
the value of its money. 1t is undoubt-
eddy a fact that the manufacturers else
where who have secured contracts have
rarely carried them out in good faith.
Devices we'll known to the trade have
enabled them in many cases to foist on
the state articles Of an inferior quality,
for which they of course received the
price of better goods.
The home manufacturer has hitherto
had little chance in the competition for
this business, This will not be the case

braska now have an organization that is
| v~igilantly guarding their interests and
is sedulously laboring to promote the
principle OF patronizing home indus
tries. The Manufacturers and Con-
sumers association has done no better
work than in bringing to the attention

state institutions could be obtained from
Nebraska manufacturers at AS low prices
and Of As good qualify as those to be had
from outside manufacturers. No diff
Guilty was found in satisfying the board
that such is he case, and as the mem
bers of the board recognize the wisdom
of p%atronizing home industries, all
things being equal, there is assurance
that in future the bids Of Nebraska man
ufacturers will receive more considera-
ton than heretofore. The result of this
will be that the large amount OF none
which has annually been sent out of the
state will be paid tolour own people and
will play a considerable part in building
up home industries. 1t is results of this
hiihi bIlbp NiiuiSdloephC hlouOIn VI OTSdl-
~ization. Hl
1t will not be out of place in this con
n~ection to again urge upon the people
of Nebraska the duty and expediency, as
a matter of common interest, of patron
izing home industries. Whatever is
produced by the capital and labor of our
own people ought to be given prefer
ence, the conditions of price and quality
being satisfactory. This is a sound
principle from every point of view, and
if generally regarded by our people
would prove a wonderful stimulus to
the industrial progress and prosperity
of the state. This is made manifest in
the good that has been accomplished
from u partial observance of this prin-
ciple. Let it be once an established fact

United States, as, IL is now understood,
is a creation of less than a quarter Of a
century. 1t is a fbint creation of the pri-
vately endowed universities of the east
and the state endowed universities Of
the west, and it is probably due to a
sense OF rivalry between these twoclasses
of institutions and oetween the individ-
uals OF each classithat the progress has
been so marked. @ Cornell represents an
institution began by private enterprise,
but with intimate relations to the state
government of New York. IL is a type
by itself. Its success in the brief quar-
ter century of its existence points TO
some of the advantages of that system
OF management. Starting out upon its
second quarter century with increased
resources and under its new president,
DIR. S%churnan, it promises a long con
tinued career of educational usefulness.

GEORGE T.. MIS-.

The denomination of Hon. George L.
Bemis for a second term for the Office of
mayor is amerited compliment to Il faith
ful, vigilant and incorruptible executive.
When Mr.. Bemis was placed at the head
of the intricate municipal machine two
years ago he was comparatively "a novice
in the management and supervision
of city affairs. He had never
been in public life and had to
grapplc with many difficult problems
of administration. But he entered
upon the discharge of his duties
and responsibilities with Il firm purpose
to constantly keep in view the interests
of the taxpayers and material develop
ment of Omaha. He has devoted his
entire time to the duties of his office and
has made a study of the wants of the
city in every branch of municipal gov
eminent. He is infinitely better fitted
for the efficient discharge of the func-
tions of his office now than he was at the
beginning of his term, and will there
fore be much better equipped for the
task imposed upon the chief executive
of this metropolis.
While Mayor Bemis has made some
mistakes during his present term, he
has been a safe, vigilant and trusted
general manager of the affairs of the
municipal corporations. He has never
hesitated to interpose his yeto where he
believed it to be a barrier to a steal or
a job, or where an attempt has been
made by contractors or franchised
corporations to overreach the city.
The fact that he has secured
a denomination on the first ballot with
out making an active canvass affords
proof of his popularity anc the conf
dence reposed in him by taxpaying
citizens.
The republican party has shown great
wisdom in endorsing Mr.. Bemis for a
second term. No other candidate would
have zee as easy to elect.

THE PLEA For GOOD ROaDS

Advocates of good roads seem to have
abandoned the field Of sentiment and to
have brought the project to rest on the
more solid foundation of individual Pc
cuniary benefit. They no longer ask
people to invest money in improved
roadways because they afford a more
agreeable thoroughfare for driving.
The aesthetic plea hat good roads
make a better appearance than bad ones
has been relegated to the rear. The
charitable act of giving remunerative
employment to men who are suffering
from enforced idleness may be involved,
but it is not the argument upon which
reliance is placed. Good roads are de-
sirable because they are profitable. Bad
roads are dear at any price, while good
ones give returns upon the outlay at a
high rate of interest.
This insistence upon the financial ad-
vantages of good roads is by no means a
new thing. That feature has been prom
inently presented ever since the agita-
ton began. But it is now to become
the keynote of the plea, and it was made
the sole and exclusive argument in the
recent speech which Governor Flower
delivered upon the subject of good
roads before the farmers of Orleans
county, New York. The governor
spared no pains to make his position
emphatic. II venture to say said he,
there is not a county in this state
which, if it would bond itself for 81, OOO,-
600 and invest the money in the sclen-
titic construction of highways, would
not in five years AVE increased the val
uatiOn of its real estate twice the
amount of the investment. But that
would be only Il small part of the gam.
The greater part would be in the saving
OF wagon transportation-a saving in ve-
hicles, a saving in horses, IA saving in
time, a saving in labor, IA saving in
risks, a saving in markets."
Good rOads are like every other in
vestment in improved facilities for
transportation. They are to be viewed
from the standpoint of financial re-
turns. If they have proven to be
profitable in other countries and in this
country wherever introduced, AS has
been demonstrated time and time again,
the farmer should be among the first to
advocate their more extended applica-
ton. And if, as Governor Flower in
Inmates, the next great step in mechan-
ical progress is TO be the perfection of
automatic vehicles, which will 40 away
with beasts of burden altogether" but
which will require as their forerunner
the general prevalence of smooth hard
roads, it will soon become apparent that
good roadways, like steam railways, are
to he a necessity of tho age which can
not be dispensed with.

THE apostrophe to tho strength of
public opinion in the United States
which James Bryce inserted in his work
on the American commonwealth has
been rudeiy shaken by the events of the
last W months. A popular demand for
the repeal Of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver law was indeed
strong enough to eur from the presi-
dent the summoning of congress in extra
session forthat very purpose, but despite
the TACT that it has become if anything
more intense since then, it has not been
able to remove the obstacles To tho
passage ofthe bill in the senate. The
government of the United States evil
IDENTITY affords the means by which the
demands of public opinion may be- re-
listed by a small minority.

MANY of the railroads are being COM
PEELED to agree that cheap rates to the
Worlds fair are a paying resource. In
creased traffic has resulted from de-
creased fares to such an extent as to
more than counterbalance the cut in
rates. A few more experiments of this
kind will no doubt convince the railroad
managers that they can make n better
financial showing by adopting a schedule
OF low passenger rates and trusting to a
gre ltly increased patronage to swell the
t tai of receipts.

THERE is nothing to prevent q state
legislature from surrounding state
banking institutions with every desira-

upon the legislature to do so. This, in n

repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state
