are of value only for grazing pur-
poses. 1t is probable that the con-
gressman from the Big Sixth has hit
upon the plan that will operate to
prevent the land frauds and the ques-
tionable methods of gaining title that
have been going on in the past. Ger
tain it is s'that much of this land will
never be of value except to the stock
men, and it should be made possible
for them to get title legitimately and
without trouble. The time and money
required to prove up on homestead
is moro than the value of the land
under the present homestead law,
and Mr., Kinkaids plan, or some other
plan of the same nature should re-
ceiye the thoughtful consideration of
congress.

ECCENTRIC CITIZEN TRAIN.

There are not many who know the
man or of him, but will be sorry to
learn of the death of the venerable,
eccentric Citizen George Francis
Train. Perhaps Nebraska, and Omaha
in particular, owes more to this
strange man than any other portion
of the country, although he was
well known everywhere over the
civilized world, because he was
the moving spirit in the development
of the Nebraska metropolis and the
state. He originated the movement
for the building of the Union Pacific
railway, and after this was done the
development of Omaha, Nebraska and
the west was rapid In spite of his
vast projects, and the immense
amount Of money handled by him,
Citizen Train died a comparatively
poor man, although he was not in
want. The later years of his life
were given to literature, of which a
history of his remarkable life will un-
doubtedly be his best and most valued
legacy to the people of the country
Citizen Train was at the height of
his notiriety when in 1872 he made
the race for president on an indepen-
dent ticket, but that his candidacy
was not popular was shown by the re-

If the live stock interests put into

The stockmen certainly have a great
advantage over the packing interests
in the matter of controlling the un-
finished product and if they get into
the part of the business in which the
packing is done and the finished pro

as strong as can be, and it takes re-

Congressman Brownlow and his bill
are quite likely to come favorably be-
fore the attention of the people of
the country, because good roads is
pertinent subject in almost every
state in the union and the Tennessee
congrcssman's measure gives promise
of dealing with it in a manner that
will he satisfactory not only to his
constituents but to others in widely
separated districts and states The
$2i,OO0,0OO that the bill contemplates
would receive wide distribution and
for good purpose and with an addi-
tional $24,OOO,0OO that the states will
be required to put up there will be
a showing in the matter of roads that
will be appreciated by the farmers
and every one who has or will have
occasion to drive Nebraska is gen
orally better off in many respects re-
garding its roads than other states,
but the $G16,O0O that the bill provides
for this state could be used to ex-
cellent advantage, and with govern
ment supervision of the work it is
certain that the roads built would be
permanent and satisfactory. The pub
lie money might be spent in many
ways less advantageous to the people
than that suggested by the congress
man from Tennessee.

Since the telephone has gone into
use it is noticed that some of the best
and quickest returns from advertise
ments are recorded over these CON
Venient wires. The person who lives
in the city after reading an advertise
ment and seeing in it something that
is desired for the household at right
price Immediately calls up the mer-
chant and has the purchase delivered
at the door With the farmer patron,
the delivery is not made but the mer-
chandise desired is ordered wrapped
up and laid away until such time as
the patron may visit the town when it
is bundled into the wagon and carted
home. Speaking of this modern meth
cd of transacting business the Boston
Advertiser says; This does not
apply to the very rich alone. People
OF the most modest fortune who have
a telephone in their homes send in
their orders in preference to making
personal calls. The use of the tele-
phone in this way shows how news
paper advertising is bringing more
business all the time to retail stores
OF course the people who send in
their orders do so because they have
seen in their newspapers advertising
columns mention of this or that bar
gain. They do not need to go to the
store to look over the counter or in

CONcERNING GOVERNOR MICKEY


The question whether or not Gov.
ernor Mickey can be reelected is dis
turbing some of the republicans of the
state, and is a matter of considerable
moment to the party. They remem-
Der that his majority was not large
and overwhelming in 1902 and there
is considerable doubt expressed as to
his having added anything to his per
sunal strength since he was in
augurated. The vote of his home
county and home precinct was a
matter for comment when the re-
turns were counted in 1902 and it is
a question if the condition which lost
him votes at home has not spread out
over the state and will lose him the
election. The governor has many
warm personal friends who wish him
well, but are fearful if he is again
placed in nomination his candidacy
viii be discredited by the people and
that his defeat would result in his
political death, and would much pre-
fer that he should decline to again
make the race.
Many who were ardent supporters
during his first campaign, have be.
come chilly or positively in opposi
tion to his denomination, and this con.
dition in few districts of the state
would undoubtedly bring about his
defeat TO offset this condition the
governor has won no warm personal
friends, in fact his record in the exc
cutive Office has been of a negative
quality and he has done nothing tc
call forth the ecomiums of any large
number of the people of the state
At the beginning of a year when
great things, politically, are to be
done, when great fights are to be
won and lost, there is a notable lack
of enthusiasm for Governor Mickey S
denomination. The press is practi
calIy silent regarding the governor
office, and this is an unfavorable
omen when so much space is being
devoted to President Roosevelt and
candidates for state Office
There are many in the state who
would be willing to again make a
fight for Governor Mickey, but even
they are doubtful of the results
should he be placed before the people
while there are many more of his
party who are thoroughly convinced
that his reelection would be impos
sible, and none are enthusiastically
supporting his candidacy. If the gov
ernOr were to get next public senti
ment and the sentiment of his party
it is possible that he would decline tC
permit the mention of his name in
connection with the office, and he
would do well to heed the advice OF
his friends in the matter and save
himself and his party from an en-
barassing situation.

1t is estimated by statistioan that
the total wealth Of the farmers of the
United States is $2O,514 100000 a
sum that makes the fortunes of Il

wealth, but the muti-milionaires are
