By a unanimous vote the Jefferson County Teachers institute last night passed resolutions objecting to the bill pending in the legislature to have uni- form system of text books for the state, and endorsed bill to be introduced to have a uniform text book for each coun- ty. The teachers claim that there are many disadvantages in state uniformity which exempts practically all the largest cities and counties and special districts, and puts the burden of the books on the rural districts.

White River Utes lose their Lands
to the Actual Settler.

Indian Commissioner Jones has re-
ceived and transmitted to the secre-
tary of the interior the report of In
spector Mclaughlin, telling of his
failure to secure the consent of the
White River Indians to the allotment
of their lands. In view of this atti-
tude of the Indians, the department
has determined under the act Of the
last session, to override the Indians
and will press surveys Of the reser-
walton and as fast as lands are laid
off allotments will be made and the
unallotted portion of the reservation
exclusive of 25O,OOO acres reserved
for grazing), aggregating more than
u million and half acres, will then
be opened to entry under the home-
stykd law, settlers paying $l.25 an
aeee for the lands. The contract for
ttse survey Of the reservation will be
m1tIe within a few days. The land
office expects one year will be re-
qutred to complete the work, which
mqst cover 1000, 600 acres.
Zach head of u family on the res
eryation will reserve eighty acres

cultural in character, and so situated
as 10 be readily irrigated. Allotments
must be completed by October l, 1904,
when it is expected unallotted lands
will be open to entry. The report of
Inspector Mclaughlin confirms that
mach of the land to be open to entry
is very desirable for agricultural pur-
poses, and examinations made by the
geological survey have shown an
abundance of subterranean water
that can be utilized for irrigation on
these lands.-Price (Utah) Advocate.

THE SOCIALIST VOTE.
Extent and Distribution Present Sig
niacant Feature.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
One of the subjects worthy of study in the
returns OF the last election is the extent
and distribution Of the socialist vote. In
twenty-nine OF the forty-five states candi-
dates representing one body or another OF
the socialists we're before the people, and
received about 100000 votes. They won
three members of the legislature in Mass
achusetts and FIVE in Montana In several
cities in the last few years they have also
had considerable success on local issues.
Their parties are variously called socialist,
socialist labor, social democrat. Some are
more extreme in their views than others,
but all are agreed upon a change in the po-
litical and Industrial organization OF So
ciety along the lines of the philosophy OF
Marx and Liebknecht.
|. AS might be expected. the socialists are
almost entirely confined to the north,
though they are not confined TO the great
centers of population. A handful OF them
are found in Texas, and some 5000 in Mis-
souri,, which is doubtless to be accounted
for by the large foreign population OF St.
Louis. From no other southern state Is any
return made OF socialist votes. In Massa-
chusetts the socialist organizations cast So
900, in Illinois $4,000, in Pennsylvania H.
900, in Ohio 1900, in Wisconsin I6, 900, in
California $500. in Indiana $500, in New
Jersey 5000 and In Michigan 5000. All
these states have great Industrial centers
and large foreign-born populations, New
York. likewise, gave about 40. 900 votes to
socialist candidates, except candidates for
governor. who suffered to the extent OF 49,
900 votes from Mr.. Coler's popularity with
socialists and from the democratic declara-
ton for government ownership Of the coal
mines. We find socialism manifesting itself
| also in the wholly agricultural states. It's
vote in Kansas was 1000, in owa 5000. in
Nebraska 5000, in North Dakota 1000. In
South Dakota 400. in Utah 5000. in Wash
ington 5000 and in oregon $500, These hg-
ures suggest that with the decadence OF
populism some Of its more radical elements,
Instead Of drifting back into the old par
ties. have gone on in the way they had
I started. and ended up as socialists. Ger
talnly in these prosperous rural states there
is none Of that pressure OF factory life, with
its close labor organizations, which in the
cities oner such opportunities for the So
cialist propaganda. Socialism there must
be founded on pure theory or on a different
sort Of discomfort from that Of the town
wage Garner. II reflects the granger side
Of the antitrust feeling.

WORDS OF APPRECIATIoN-

, SOUTH OMAHA Jan. Ito the Editor
Of The Bee: l was deeply Interested in
viewing the pictures Of the Grant family
and reading your entertaining article
narrating your notable visit at the modest
home OF the venerable Mr.. Grant in Cow
ington in today's Sunday Bee. General
Grant was my ideal of a true, patriotic
American citizen, the greatest and most
successful military commander the world
has yet produced. while his general makeup
constituted more fine, desirable qualities
than any other prominent parsonage his
tory gives any record Of. He was the
foremost soldier and statesman and perfect
citizen combined of America. almost
idolize the memory Of this gallant hero.
Mrs. Anderson and myself have always re-
vered the name Of Grant. In fact. the
whole Grant family were models of good,
old"fashioned A~merlcanism. We hold the
generals portrait dear to us for nearly
forty years and shall preserve this days

great credit for this display of your I'M

The insistence of President Roosevelt
that there should be antitrust legisla-
ton by the present congress promises to
have the desired result. 1t is assured
that an antitrust bill will pass the
house Of representatives, based IN the
plan submitted by Attorney General
Knox and having the support Of the ad-
ministratiOn. The outlines of such a
measure have already been published
and have received pretty general COM
mendation, though in the opinion of
some less drastic han the conditions re-
quire. 1t is not the policy of the adj
ministration, however. to adopt a revolu-
tionary or destructive course in dealing
with the combinations, the effect Of
which would be Injurious to the entire
Industrial system of the country, and it
is believed that intelligent public senti-
ment is in accord with this. Men who
have given serious and unprecedented
thought to the question recognize the
danger that might result from its reck-
less treatment and incline to conserv-
atism. They agree with Senator Hoar
that it is wise to go slow, step by step,
lest by rash and radical measures the
entire industries Of the country be
p~aralyzed and our progress and pros
perity halted.
While it cannot be confidently pre-
dicted that an antitrust bill will pass
the senate, it is to be regarded as prob
able. Senator Hoar will make an ear
nest effort to secure action upon his
measure, but according to Washington
advices It is not regarded with much
favor in the senate and 1t seems doubt
full II 1t will have the support of a ma
jority of the senate judiciary committee,
of which Mr.. Hoar Is chairman. How
ever, 1t is not to be assumed that in the
event of this bill not being accepted
there will be no action by the senate on
the subject. 1t is not improbable that
most of the republicans of that body
recognize as fully as do those of the
house Of representatives the earnestness
of the public demand for additional
legislation dealing with the trusts and
also the popular approval Of the presi.
dents insistence that the present con.
gress can and should provide such legis.
lation. 1t is not believed that there will be
any very strenuous opposition to anti
trust legislation on the part of the demo
Gratis Of the senate. They will of course
urge the removal of tariff duties OF
trust-made articles, merely as a pOlitica.
move, but they will hardly attempt tc
defeat legislation, since that would
clearly be to the disadvantage of theil
party.
The prospect, therefore, appears ia
vorable to the enactment Of a law at the
present session supplementing the exist
ing statutes and giving the government
broader latitude and greater authority
to deal with the combinations engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce.

COMPULSORY MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

COMPULSORY MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
All streams run through the demo-
cratic mill race. The attempt to turn
the Howell water works purchase bill
into the municipal campaign in the in
terest of the democratic ticket will sur
prise nobody. The animus Of the bill
is manifest on its face. Mr.. Howell has
a long standing grievance against the
present owners of the water works and
hopes to get even by his compulsory
purchase bill. The only question is
whether his scheme would be for the
benefit of the city or the profit of the
water company.
The city Of Omaha has a right to pur-
chase the works this year and every
year hereafter until 1908 without pay
ing a dollar for the franchise. If Howell
has his way the city would be COM
PEELED to pay for the franchise as well
as for the tangible property. On those
terms the company, we feel sure, would
c%heerfully sell out, but the city might
have to pay anywhere from one to two
millions more than the plant could be
duplicated for.
The question naturally presents itself,
Why should the power Of the legislature
b.. invoked to compel the city of Omaha
to bond itself for the purchase Of water
works unless the conditions of the pur-
chase are satisfactory? The right Of the
city to assume the ownership of the
water works is already expressly guar
anteed by the charter, but the mode of
acquiring the property is left to the
Judgment Of the municipal authorities.
Under the present charter the city
voted three millions of bonds for the
purchase Of the works three years ago.
city has a right to submit a revised bono
proposition at the coming city election
or at a special election for the additional
amount required. There is nc more
reason why the municipal ownership
should be made compulsory in the mat
ter of the water works than in the mat
ter of gas works, electric lighting works,
or for that matter the street railways
and telephones.
There Is no more reason why the gov,
ernOr should be given the right to ap-
point n water works purchase commits.
sion for Omaha than there would be fol-
him to appoint a commission to pur.
chase parks or a commission to manage
an electric power plant If a municipal
franchise Were granted for such a con
Germ. On broad gauge lines the prin
ciple of municipal ownership Of public
utilities is sound, but the property W
ers and taxpayers of every community
should have the right to decide fol
themselves how much they are willing
to pay and how much they do not wan
to pay, when to buy and under what
conditions they shall create a public
debt in payment Of existing public utiI
ity plants owned by private corpora
tons, or whether they shall build, owI
and operate their own water works il
case the price asked for a corporation
owned concern is excessive.
In any event, an issue that involve,
an addition of from three to six mil
lions to the City's bonded debt should
not be thrust into the campaign as t:
partisan issue.

WANT

The manufacturers of Wisconsin have
just organized a state association and
among the objects in view is that of
promoting commercial reciprocity. In
his address the president of the asso-
citation said that a subject of great i'm
portance is the establishment of reci-
procal relations with foreign countries,
through which their manufactures may
be permitted to enter this country at a
reduced tariff, upon condition that the
manufactured products Of America are
accorded the same privilege. He sug-
gested that our relations with the Brit
ish provinces of the north require
thoughtful attention.
This expression Of northwestern manu-
facturers favorable to the principle of
reciprocity is not without interest and
significance and possibly will not be al
together without weight at Washington.
1t undoubtedly reflects a quite general
sentiment among manufacturers of the
northwest, who while opposed to general
or sweeping changes in tariff schedules,
believe that such n policy of reciprocity
as was advised by Mckinley and is a
well recognized republican principle
could be adopted with advantage to our
foreign trade and necessarily with
benefit to our industries. There appears
to be a very strong probability that this
sentiment will grow and the demand
for commercial reciprocity may figure
very prominently in the next national
campaign, unless in the meantime there
should be action by congress favorable
to it. There is little prospect of any.
thing being done at the present session,
but those who are opposing the policy
will do well to note the declaration OF
the association of Wisconsin manufac.
