Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-08-21

We are indeed sorry that we
have been unable to please our
worthy contemporary across the
street, known by the misnomer,
"Thc Beacon. Three weeks ago
we gave out publicly that we had
been mistaken and quoted w. II.
Thompson for our authority
that the democratic candidate
for governor had never in all his
life been employed by or received
a cent from railroad corpora
tion and then we gave equally as
good authority for the statement
that we were mistaken and that
we had been misinformed on the
Harrington cpisod as there were
two Harringtons instead of one.
Our confession was severely
criticised by the Beacon because
we intlmated that Thompson's
confession, who is charged with
riding on free rail road transport
tation did not show him to be as
strong man as we had credited
him with being. Last week the
Beacon seems to have forgotten
that it ever criticised our adj
and chews the Same old
rag over again. Poor thing! 1t
is too bad that it cannot find
something TO kick about.

Prosperity Makes Teachers Scarce.

Superintendent Fowler says the
scarcity of public school techers
through out the state is due al
most entirely to the pro sperity
OF the farmers and business men
OF the rural districts.
Take a ride of 100 miles
through any part of the state
and see the fields of good crops,
and then tell me if YOU can why
farmers daughters Chould teach
school for S25 or $50 month"
said Mr.. Fowler. "Thev don't
have to do it any more and that
is Just why there are schools all
over the state without teachers.
81 was in McPcarson county this
week and found that there was
not a teacher in the entire dis
trict," continued Mr.. Fowler.
"This, of courcc isn't big coun-
ty, that is, its population is not
large, but they have eight
schools there and all will have to
closed unless they find
teachers for them. And | see by
the morning papers that Frontier
county still needs forty teachers.
There are numerous other coun-
ties in the state that have been
unable to supply all of their
schools and it looks as though
many of them will not be opened
this year.
The salaries offered in the
rural districts are not high, but
they are just as high as they
ever were. A few years ago a
position carrying a salary of $50
per month would have several APP

The voters of Custer county
should not forget that in S. c..
Waldron they have candidate
for representative who is likely
II elected to do his ncighbors
some good in the legislature.
Mr.. Waldron is one of our first
settlers, and has struggled with
adversely in common with other
settlers, sticking to old Custer
county through thick and thin
until he sees the dawn of better
day. The leading characteristic
of Mr.. Waldron is his firmness of
purpose. When he is satisfied
he is right he goes ahead regard
less OF what anybody thinks.
While not much of an orator. he
has way of expressing himself
that is both plain and forcible
and he has mixed enough with
politicians and public men to
know their ways and hold his
own among them. AS legisla-
tor he would be inhexibly, honest
and a hard fighter for the inter
ests of the communityrepresented
by him. Galloway Courier.

matter is his success as supcrin-

Finest on the Earth.

From Hastings to the Colorado
line, a section of country compris-
ing in all about fifty of the wcs-
tern counties in Nebraska, can
this year show up in grade, quail
lty and yield per acre, the great
est wheat crop in the world.
The greatest crop experts in
the country have no hcSitaucy in
declaring that in no other wheat
producing section on any of the
continents will one find so bio
crop of wheat as the farmers in
the western counties in Nebraska
have to their credit this year.
AS one by one the reports come
in from the threshing machines

1000, 900, 900 in Cereal Crops.

1000, 900, 900 in Cereal Crops.
1t is estimated that the farm
ers Of the United States will re-.
ccivc two billion dollars for the
cereal crops of this season. 1t is
believed that the crops of wheat.
corn, oats, and rye will be the
heaviest in the history of the far
ming states. A few districts
have been thrown out of the mar
kets for the year by the heavy
rains and destructive floods. but
in most of the states the condi-
tions are favorable to the heavi-
est yield on record.
This is not the estimate of
spectators or of the farmers
themselves, but of the statistic
lans and of railroad managers
who are preparing to move the
crops. Last year the partial
failure of the corn crop was
serious matter to the railways.
This year the managers of all
the railway lines travcrsing the
wheat and corn districts are max
ing preparations to meet the I'M
usual demand for transportation
to Chicago and the seaboard.
AS usual, prosperous conditions
for the farmers mean prosperous
conditions for the people at large.
A few years ago the question of
money to move the crops was al
ways serious one, but now the
money is ready on demnnd, and
will go into the hands of the far
mers when they are ready to sell.
In this particular there has
been great change in the last
few years. Hundreds of farmers
are prepared to hold their crops
now where one was twenty-five
years ago. Then the producer
was compelled by his own neces-
Slty or by circumstances to sell
whether the price suited him or
not. Now the knowledge that
the farmer is not victim of cir
cumStances, is not compelled to
sell, but is. an alert observer, with
his eye upon the markets, is al
ways to be rcckoned with, and
the fact that the situation as to
the farmers condition has chang
ed for the better exercises a
wholesome influence through all
the ramifications of the grain
trade.
The money that is in New
York or Chicago banks to move
the crops has been placed there
without embarrassment to other
business interests. Its distribu-
ton to so many points will con-
tribute greatly to permanent
business activity.
The process which involves the
transfer of great sums of money
from the financial centerS to the
pockets of millions of farmers,
that involves special preparations
by railways and steamship lines
for the transfer of wheat, corn,
rye, and oats from millions OF |
farms to elevators, Storehouses
and mills, and individual pur-
chaserS is one of the most in
teresting i'll our business system.
The effect of large or small
crops is seen in every department
of trade. The larger the crops
the wider the distribution of
and when, as in this year
the farmers receive for what
their farms have produced an
amount of money equal to our
national debt, there is no room
n the land for the prophets of
Inter Ocean.
