Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1904-12-29

Several weeks ago President
Roosevelt ordered that the reports
Of the weather bureau be withheld
from the Boston Herald because
that paper printed a little story
about one of the Roosevelt children
chasing q stray turkey about the
white house grounds, but after
cooling down he again ordered that
the service be restored to the Bos-
tcn paper. Likewise, few days
ago he ordered Ben Baker remov.
ed from the bench in New Mexico
but upon a second thought and q
Little cool reflection he withdrew
the order and restored Ben to the
bench. This seems like . school
boy way of treating matters. Get
angry and do something and when
ns.:,e heat of the moment has passed
Of, be sorry about it and make
everything right. This manner
Of doing business is certainly not
TIE method of a great statesman.-

thirst; always searching for some
thing to eat, where there's moth
ing; always staring with dumb,
hopeless eyes, blinded swollen and
fostering from the suns glare on
the wastes of snow"
twenty-five years ago the same
wicked conditions prevailed in
western Nebraska, but it is very
different now. Most of the ranch
ers make ample provisions for
watering their stock at all seasons
of the year and while their cattle
do splendidly on the range grass
when there is no snow, a sufficient
quantity of emergency hay is pro-
vided in the fall so that it is only
in unusually severe and stormy
weather that there is much suffer
ing of range cattle in this state

The Old Cattle Business.

One of the most pathetic pic,
lures of animal misery is that fur
nished by E. K. Whitehead, sec.
rotary of the Colorado state bureau
of child and animal protection,
concerning cattle wintered on the
plains of the great southwest. 'In
the winter of 1929" be says.
ION a single ranch in Texas, five
hundred thousand dollars wortl,
of cattle died; on many ranches
half were lost; on some three
quarters, and on almost all, man! ;
while all the rest went down 10
the very verge of death, and SUI
sered all it's pain without it's relief.
Imagine q single animal in Decem-
Der already guant from hunger,
cold and thirst (for Of the three,
thirst is the most terrible,) imagine
this wretched creature wandering
about in an illimitable plain, COW

II is reported that . vigilance
committee has been organized in
eastern Keya Paha county, which,
IL true, will probably bring old
Keya Paha to the front as the
dark and bloody ground" of the
border. The reason for reviving
the rope court is said to be the
Wholesale stealing of horses, and
the ghosts of Kid Wade, Msupin,
Barrel Scott, old man White, the
Hills and other men who incurred
tie vengeance of the old vigilanter
gang, are liable to have company
in their nightly rsmble along the
Niobrara. But, if the new COM
1aittee is like the old one, it would
he we'll for the honest members to
invoice the committee and do some
judicious hanging before they start

A Huge Burlesque.

It certainly is one of the jokes
of the season to read about county
attorneys in Nebraska assembling
in Lincoln last week to discuss
methods for fighting railroad cor
porations on the tax question.
Imagine these valiant pension
4rsbbers armed with rsilroad pas
eos doing anything toward COM
pelling the companies to do more
than give assurance that their pas
ses will not be taken away from

aheir own breastworks. The chanc-
% are that before the companies
stand for tho holdup, some of their

Gliputians will be wearing dia-

in store not long ago. Each was
a cigarette smoker. In nearly ev-
cry case where a boy breaks into
q store the first thing he steals is
tobacco"
The connection between tobacco
and toughness in boy seems to
be much the same as that between
whiskey and crime in q man.
The injury of cigarette smoking
to youth is not merely physical.
1t invariably leads him into bad
associations that pervert his ideas
of manliness.
A gang of boys secretly smok-
ing cigarettes submit to the tead-
ership of the toughest in the gang.
There is z magic power in the
practice to lower all to the level
of the lowest.
The boy who thinks it is manly
to smoke has a wrong notion OF
manliness. He is training himself
to admire and emulate mans vices
instead of his virtues. He is cul-
tivating the qualities that count
for failure instead of success.
The companionship and moral
influence that a boy comes into
through cigarettes is like that
which man comes into through
the drink-the kind that debase.

Lobbyists.

The Fremont (Neb.) Tribune
commenting upon the proposition
to abandon the professional lob.
BY" says that the idea is good
one, but asks: "Who is to deter.
mine just who the professiona
lobbyists are; by what sign OF
token is the professional to be told
from an amaeturE'
1t is sometimes difficult to dis.
tinguish. Indeed, sometimes it is
difficult to tell whether man is a
professional lobbyist or public
spirited citizen who has made
great personal sacrifices in order
to bend the winter at the state
capita and instruct the legislator
in his duties.
In 1891, Mr.. Newberry. the re-
puted father of the famous maxi
mu n freight rate bill, concluded
tina he would provide the people
of Nebraska with relief from ex-
to tionate freight rates. Mr..
Ne yher v wanted to introduce a
bi providing for the freight rate
schedule that was then in force in
10 va. He confded his secret with
q Very agreeable gentleman whose
acquaintance he had formed, and
this gentleman declared that be-
was in perfect sympathy with
Newberry's plan, and offered to-
8 lure TO- hfm Il copy of the Iowa
schedule.
Newberry was under lasting OBJ
| .atiOns, of course, and thanked
MS friend very cordially when the
Iowa schedule was placed in his
hands. Newberry introduced the
bill.
The late John NJ. Moan, that
inc old democrat from Dakota
county, was member of the COM
mittee charged with the cousidera-
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1904-12-29

ton of this measure. Being a
large shipper himself, Moan un-
derstood freight rate schedules,
and, after investigating Newber-
rvs bill, he asked Newberry where
he obtained the schedule. New
berry told him a friend had given
it to him. Moan insisted upon
learning the friends name, and
when Newberry revealed it Moan
said: why, my dear sir, that
man is professional railroad lob
byist, and the schedule he has pro-
vided you with is not the present
Iowa schedule; it is an old Iowa
schedule, and, instead of decreas-
ing Nebraska rates, it would, if
enacted into law, increase those
rates by about rs per cent"
The result was that Mr.. Moan
was charged with securing the
proper Iowa schedule and with the
preparation of the bill. The in
side of the bill as originally intro
duced by Newberry was thrown
into the waste basket, while the
bill prepared under Means d.
rection took it's place. The bill,
however, retained it's original
number, and it became law, and
was popularity known as the New
berry bill, although all the New
berry" there was to it was the
title number and the name of the
man who originally introduced
the bill.
In the coming session of the Ne
braska legislature the dificu ty
will not be so much to distinguish
between the professional lobbyists
and the amateur lobbyists. There
will be a few amateurs there.
There will, however, be at least
three professional lobbyists; one
will represent the Union Pacific,
an 'ther will represent the Elkhorn
and another will represent the
Burlington & Missouri. The diff
fculty will be to distinguish these
professional corporation lobbyists
from the republican party. Every
well-informed man who wants any,
thing done by the Nebraska legis-
lature will not waste time in talk
ing to the members of the legisla-
ture. He will 90 direct to head
he will plead for favors
at the knee of the corporation lob
byist, and there he will obtain
either the favor or the refusal
and that will be the end of it

bar With Barnum & Bailey.
Unquestionably the most superb
spectacle ever created by man was
the gorgeous Durbar at Delhi, which
took place in January, 1903. No mat
ter how fanciful the mental pictures
of ancient magnificence, historical
reading and tradition of childhood
may have conjured, all were immeas
urably surpassed by the Durbar. 1t
brought together the magnificenca of
ancient India handed down through
the centuries to the present generation
of the ninety-two hereditary rulers Of
India, and all the splendor of modern
civilization. which from sheer gor-
geousness should serve to impress the
four hundred million subjects of His
Majesty, Edward VII, King OF Great
Britain and Ireland and Emperor Of
india.
This unparalleled scene is being Wv.

est Show on Earth. 1t is the most
wonderful demonstration yet made by
the boundless enterprise and limitless
scope Of the greatest of all the world s
amusement institutions. 1t requires
the expenditure of more money and
the employment OF more men, women
and children than any other spectacle
ever before exhibited. There is no
ballet with the Durbar There will
be no dancing girls, whose gyrations
consume SO much of the valuable time,
but instead there will be an unbroken
line of pageantry in which will be seen
scores of elephants, camels, sacred
cattle and all the long list of elements
which made up the glories Of the Dur.
