SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

Then, when you have voted for the
president, you wish TO make your vote
effective in his support. No good
citizen would be so hypocritical as TO
extend TO President Roosevelt one
hand in admiration, in gratitude, and
in friendship, then slap him in the
face with the other. A friend of the
president would not vote TO senl TO

would not be consistent. Roosevelt
needs friends in congress TO carry out
his projects that are favorable to the
West. He has an especial desire that
Utah should send to him a friend, and

Elmer Jacob Burkett of

week is a native of Iowa, and 81
years old. He entered Tabor
College as bell ringer for the

from Tabor in 1890 and entered

graduated from the law depart
ment in 1898, and in 1895 receiv-
ed the degree of LII. M. In
that same year he was elected
trustee OF Tabor College in Iowa.
He began the practice of law in
1893, and is now a member of the
law firm of Burkett & Greenlee.
In 1896 he was first nominated
Tor congress without his know

OF his ward and secured the dele

nomination over other formidable
candidates he did not attend the
convention and being at home
asleep did not learn that he had
been nominated until next morn

Nebraska's Wealth.

Prof. A. e. Davisson of the
University at Lincoln has been
at work on ascertaining the
wealth of Nebraska. His esti-
mates places the wealth of the
state exclusive of the railroads
at $1, 9S9, ,434. With the adj
ditional of the railroads, if his
estimates prove correct the as
sessed value of the state will
amount to over two billion doll
ars. His estimates on Custer
county is: land, $1S,2OS, S94;
money on deposit, S479, 249;
stocks of merchandise, $3.50, 500;
live stock, $4,916, 6SS; city and
town real estate, $3.50, $50; farm
products of 1908, $4,5S1, 955.
That would give the county a
total valuation of $50, 500, coo ex-
elusive of railroads. At one fifth
valuation it would give So, 10l 1888

1T will not be long until the valu-
alton of the county has been de-

calculations in Custer county.
While his figures may not be
very far off of the facts we pre-
dict the assessors figures will be
several millions short of his esti-
mate.
