POpuliStS in Nebraska.

Kansas and Nebraska are the two
states in which Populism has been
tried to the greatest extent, and as
result they are the strongest Popu-
list states in the union. The record
OF the party in Kansas is we'll un.
derstood by readers of the Advocate
and News, but the splendid record
of the Nebraska PopuIst administra.
ton has not been frequently referred
to. When State Treasurer Meserve
took charge, one year ago, he found
defalcation on the part of his pre-
decessor of SS75,555, and the Treas
ury empty and warrants passing at
about 90 cents, discount of 7 per
cent. This was certainly an un-
favorable condition to begin on.
AT the end of the first fiscal year he
had registered 81 ,O9l, O53, compared
with Sl,624,O2O during the CORE.
spending preceding year of his pre-.
deceSsor's term. Strict and absolute
economy on his part and on that of
his associates in state offices and in
the Legislature brought about a re.
duction of S6O2,s67. This is lust
what any sane business man would
do in his private affairs, and these
Populist officers introduced sane
business methods into public affairs.
State warrants were paid promptly
and honestly as fast as money was
received and they soon rose in price
until they now bring a premium of
three-fourths of l per cent, where
they had previously been discounted
Z per cent. Then, instead of allows
ing these warrants to be hawked
about, the treasurer bough; all that
could be obtained with money from
the school fund, thus securing to the
state the interest on them. His
predecessors had allowed this school
money to lie in banks where but a
small amount of interest was paid to
the state. This evidence of business
sanity Drought good fruit, as the in
terest derived from the school fund
for distribution to the schools
amounted to s739,59l, while the
average for the previous years had
been but s56O,2O5. He also man.
aged things so that he paid s74s,Ol5
of the public debt. A year or two
OF such management will put
Nebraska on her feet financially
Instead of pulling that state down
and running her credit, the new
officers have given the state good
name and have shown their ability
and disposition to give the public
good, economical, business.like
service. Nebraska should be con-
graduated for the selection Of such
efficient officers.

Ex-Governor LeweIling had a two
column article in last weeks. Wichita
Commoner on the railroad question
We did not waste the time to read
it. We dismissed it with the thought
that votes are more consistent and
more effective than words. The
people of Kansas would relish less
advice and more obscurity from this
palm-itching gentleman.

OWNS HER RAILROADS
Prussia Has Tested The Public
Ownership OF Railroads.

Consul Monaghan, at Chemntiz,
Germany, sent to the state depart
mrnt a report on Prussian railroads.
State ownership OF railroads." he
says, plays an important part in
Prussla'S finances. Earning enor-
nous sums, serving commerce and
manufactures in times of peace and
tor all strategic purposes in times Of
war, they have more than ju> titled
the arguments that urged the gov
eminent TO own them and the liberal
policies that have put them down
and pushed them out into all parts
of the empire"
The receipts for lS96.97 have gone
beyond the estimate OF the budget
of 1920, 592, 400 marks, and the esti-
mate for lS97.9S is l,ll0.9lo, $50
marks, while the total income of the
kingdom is only slightly more than
100000 marks. After giving
statistics in some detail, the consul
continues:
"No other branch Of public prop.
erty pays so surely and { so well.
The certainty of the receipts, their
size, the ease with which they are
obtained, and their cash character,
render them most useful of all the
monies turned into the public treas
ury. How successfully they are run,
in other respects, whether better
than they would have been under
private ownership, it is hard to say.
The state has had its hands on the
road from the very beginning. See
ing how successfully they would aid
armies, and also how necessary they
would be in the development of the
empire, Prussia did not hesitate to
take the railroads over 10 the state.
Their quasi-public character has
helped the people to understand that
they should be controlled, at least,
if not owned, by the state. The
tendency all over the empire is to>
ward state and city ownership Of all
kinds of transportation facilities as
we'll as of telegraphs, telephones and
other means of communication"

Save the Quails.

The ranchmen in different parts OF the
county are complaining at the fact that
the naepies are destroying the quails.
and they ask that the sportsmeu Who
were instrumental in having the quails
brought in. aid them in exterminatipe
their long tailed quackins enemies. Jim
Moore says he knows oftwo quails' nests
being destroyed on his ranch by mag.
pies, aud Deacon Biz Williams Gays
the pcsky things have not only eaten
young quails. but all kinds OF song birds
about his place, and he wants to sec the
cannibals exterminated.
1t has been suggested that . system
attic tisht be made on the maGpies by
hanging up poisoned liver in the trees in
the ncishborhood where the pests con
gregate, and a. they are very fond Of
liver. they will soon cease from troubling
other birds. Another scheme 10 that
hunting parties be organized and all
magpies within shot gun range be die

Something must be done to save thu

AT the annual meeting Of the Min
nesots State Horticultural society new
and apparently valuable method OF bring
ing fruit trees into early fruiting was
described by o. F. Brand. The opera
tions consist OF removing a section OF
bark from inch to Il, inches in length
completely around the tree-care being
taken not to bruise or cut the cumbium,
then filling the denuded space with the
bark taken from a crab apple tree OF
about the same size, fitting it accurately.
The bark Of the Virginia, Transcendent,
or Farango being perhaps the best.
The bark should fit closely at the top
and bottom. and finally should be wound
with strips OF Old cotton cloth about ]
inch wide beginning inch above the
wound. Draw the band firmly and tie
with small cord we'll wound about.
: The latter operation should be we'll
done in order that the bending OF the
tree may not loosen the bark. In ten
days the bark will be sufficiently united
% that the bandage may be removed.
Possibly it would be an advantage to uss
waved cloth to secure it against the vet
weather.
1t was further claimed that this
method had further advantages over top
grating or grinding with knife or saw
In that it would make the tree bear the
the next season; that it would increase
the trees hardness by causing the tree
10 mature its wood earlier, and that it
would not injure the tree.
II any advantage 10 TO be derived from
the crab stock, this method secures il, as
Ill the wood grown under the girdle OF

physical organism, the greater wonders of
it's intellectual and moral nature? Two
principal answers have been given to this
question. The one is that of the material
list, who studies man from the side of his
physical organization, his relation to other
living creatures, and the brief duration of
his visible existence He assures us that
the animating principle Of mans being,
his so-called spirit or soul, is merely a
product of matter, or a refinement of it.
1t has and can have no separate existence
without the body. The soul is destroyed
o. released to the realm of universal
forces by the event of death. Man is thus
the chance product of blind nature forces.
He has no higher moral significance, no
abiding quality, no future individual des-
tiny
Opposed to this view is the generally
accepted belief in mans spiritual origin
and endowment. This is not only the
view upheld by the Bible and the prevail
ing creeds, but is more and more becoming
the teaching of the most recent science
More and more, as science formulates the
philosophic principles which are to con-
troll it, it is found that these incline to the
spiritual, rather than the materialistic, in
depreciation of nature and life.
The second life question is why Are We
Here?" Its answer is implied in the fore
going discussion of mans origin. AS the
offspring of God, man is endowed with his
spirit for moral and spiritual ends. 1t is
to develop our individual character, con-
scious of our divine essence to make of our
selves pure and holy beings in the spirit of
the Christ in the image Of God. The man
himself is the true end of life. But not
for or by ourselves alone. Together is
the divine injunction, as we press for
ward, each for all, and all for each, to
form a divinely perfected order of So
ciety.
The last query is whittier Do We
Tend?" A blind Scriptural faith no longer
serves enlightened minds in answering this
question. The bible illustrates and con-
firms, 1t does not originate or absolutely
assure the modern mans belief in immor-
tality. But God sends each generation
the truth in form comprehensive to IT,.
New proofs and assurances rise on our
horizon as the old ones grow dim. Evolu-
tion furnishes strong presumptive evil
dence in favor of individual Immortality.
The evolutionary process does not cease
when mans present form is attained, but

Union Reform League

The annual meeting for the election Of

Reform league was held yesterday after
noon in the new quarters of the league,
st. vincent's hall, corner Sixth and Hill
streets. The officers and an executive
committee of eleven were duly elected. The
national organizer, the Rev. w. D. P. Bliss,
spoke encouragingly of the league work
and of the prospects for the future. 1t
was decided to get down to more practical
work in the future meetings; papers to be
presented on practical Socialism to be dis
cussed by the audience generally.
Mr.. Bliss was given permission to devote
some part of each Sunday afternoon meet
Ing to a discussion of Socialism from the
religious standpoint to obviate the objec-
ton of some that the meetings were of too
secular a nature. 1t was decided to aban-
don the evening suppers during the sum-

The services which included an oration
by Rev. Will A. Knighten, and rituai;stc

the organizations history, General McEl-
! fresh introduced Rev. Knighten. who ar
nounced as his text the twenty-second verse
of the fret book Of James.
| The pastor spoke in terms of commenda
ton of all organizations which have goot
| fellowship as an object, and said in part
| "There was a time of disorganization o1
the human race, when the people were
broken into sects, disintegrated, as it were
each part speaking a different tongue
Good fellowship was destroyed, and it has
taken years of labor on the part of just sucl
organizations as yours, my brothers, Il
bring 1t back TO its present condition. Blu
your work is not yet done; ye who hav,
much do not feel as free as you should t.
assist others; ye who are well do not visi
the sick as you might.
True religion influences man toward hi
fellowmen, but some men lose sight of thei
duties to God In their duties to their fellow
men,"
The Foresters were founded on June II
1874, and in this city have membership o
nearly $500.
