The opening verses OF the Psalm de-

Gods words behind him. This take Il
means that he was heady and high
minded. that he had vain self-esteem
which MADE him unteachable. And the
charge of casting Gods words behind
him would imply that he gave them Il
subordinate place in his life and put his
own judgments and thoughts before
those of God. More than likely. intel
lectualism and higher criticism were
barriers that prevented Gods words
having due weight and influence in his
life.

Free Rural Deliver .

President Roosevelt has the
following to say for the Free
Delivery mail system:
"The rural free delivery service
has been steadily extended.
More routes have been installed
since the first of July last, than
in any like period n,the Depart
ment's history. X No
governmental movement of recent
years has resulted in greater i'm
mediate benefit to the people of
the country districts. Rural free
delivery, taken in connection
with the telephone, the bicycle
and the trolly, accomplishes
much toward lessening the isola-
tion of farm life and making it
brighter and more attractive. In
the immediate past the lack of
just such facilities as these has
driven many of the more active
and restless young men and
women from the farms to the
cities, for they rebelled at loneli-
ness and lack of mental COM
partnership. 1t is unhealthy and
undesire liable for the cities to grow
at the expense of the country;
and rural free delivery is not only
a good thing in itself, but is
good because it is one of the
causes which check this unwhole-
some tendency toward the urban
concentration of our population
at the expence of the country
| districts"

ligion and made all deseuting

en- of it is denied by those who
seemed to know, as being a part
of the original vision. l was
quite we'll acquainted with
daughter of Hoags, who was a
teacher of some note in our
county and who declared that
this in regard to a mona rchal
government was not a part of
her fathers writing as she had
seen the original document often
when she was a girl and there
was no such declaration in it, but
was added by some other person
she knew not who. This declara-
ton of the daughter was made
before the Civil War began three
or four years. But of one thing
we are sure that the other part
of the prophecy was fulfilled al
most to the letter and the ques-
tion has often been asked was
this an emination from the old
gentlemen's mind or was it as
George Fox put such things,

cities adjacent thereto.

cities adjacent thereto. The
question of road building for the
benefit of the rural district have
gone unaided as far as the
government is concerned. AS
matter of justice and right as
we'll as a benefit to the whole
country the government should
aid in the building of roads.
Other nations are building their
wagon roads and why should not
ours. 1t is said that France has
23,603 miles of wagon roads
which were built and are being
maintained by the government.
Italy has about 5000 miles built
and maintained the same way.
This bill in congress creates a
department at Washington with
proper superintendent and EN-
ployees to take charge OF the
building Of these roads. Each
state, county or town receiving
Federal aid is required to add
like amount to the amount re-
ceived from the government.
This would mean $49, 100000 for
the betterment of our roads. AS
the distribution of this fund is
based on the number of inhabi-
tants of the state it makes the
distribution equitable. No state
can receive more than its share.
1t is not so with the River and
Harbor appropriations as only
certain localities can share in it.

CREATpD WEALTH.

Something from nothing-a garden
from desert. Sch is the history of ir-
rigated sections. Take land that sells for
fifty cents an acre, put water on it, and
it sells for-what2 There are quarters of
land in irrigated sections of Colorado
that cannot be purchased for $40, ooo 90
and which earn numerative interest on
that valuation.
And yet you can purchase irrigated
lands where the soil is perfect beyond
belief, where the water supply is plenti-
ful and inexhaustible, where climatic
conditions are healthful and exhilarat-
ing, where fuel is abundant and cheap,
for from SIS an acre up.
THE REASONS. 4.
The North Platte Valley, extending
from Bridgeport, Nebraska, to Guernsey,
Wyo., and the Big Horn Basin, Wyo.,
have been but recently made available
for settlement b. the extension of the
Burlington Railroad into those sections.
The Irrigation Companies must have
settlers along their bitches and they offer
substantial inducements in the shape of
low priced water rights and lands.
HOW LONG WILL THIS CONDITION
CONTINUE?
None may say surely, but it won't be
for long, and the sooner you invest the
cheaper will you be able to do so, for the
advance is just as sure as has been the
advance in the price of similar lands in
other sections.

CHAPTER XII. :.
by DR.. c. Pickett

About the year 1903, Jose phi
Hoag is said to have had a vision
which seemed to describe to his
mind what was to follow as a re-
suit of slavery in this country.
He being very modest would not
consent to have his vision pub
lished until at the earnest solicit
tation of very close friends to
whom he had confded the matter
he allowed it to go into print in
the year 1909. The writer of
these lines saw it in 1855 or 1856
and the copy seen was in writing
and not in print. I think it was
not ever published So that it
reached great many people as
the old Friends" were very
chary of making themselves con-
spicious in print, especially in
matters like this where there
might be reflections cast upon
the good name of their society
through the possibility of mis-
takes occurring in things profess
ed of or predicted before hand.
1t may be that if some of their
decendents had alwas been like
minded the world would have
been better off, however if they
had all been so modest, Custer
County would have gone without
the privilege of reading after one
of their heirs on the subject of
the Underground Railroad. l
believe that several years ago the
REPUBLICAN, but perhaps few then
knew much about the subject
matter therein contained. This
vision started out with an account
of the planting of the colonies in
this country and the advent of
slavery, it's cause and its conse-
yuences down to the time of the
Civil War, all of which was we'll
described, ending in the perdition
that during a war the south lost
her power and slavery was an
initiated from the land. The
vision went on to say that "Tt en-
a monarchal government arose
and established a national re-

The World-Herald is creating
quite furro over the state in
the matter of Chancellor An
drews effort to secure a donation
from John d. Rockfellow to build
a memorial building for the use
of the State University by claim
ing that the building is intended
as monument for Rockfellow.
On all such questions there are
lot of people, who pretend to
be horror stricken at the sugges-
tion that some rich corporation
or individual to do a philan-
thropic act. Should those persons
be the direct benefciaries of some
of these rich corporations or in
divlduals they would never think
of rejecting it.
Rockfellow's money has been
accumulated by speculation and
judicious management the same
as Helen Gould's or Carriages.
If these people seek to make
good use of their money, it is
better than for them to continue
to hoard it or make other evil
uses of it. Instead of opposing
the distribution of the millions
for the public good they should
be encouraged in the good work
and Nebraska has as good a right
to lay claim to it as any other
state. This over jealous senti-
mentalism is uncalled for and
the World-Herald in encouraging
it knows it, but simply does it for
the sake OF an issue.

The Farmers institute for the
winter will be held February 22nd
and 23rd. 1t is time that the
people began preparations for
making this meeting a great
success. Interest and attendance
will be amply repaid by the value
to be gained. The people should
make of the institute a large
social gathering of agricultural
people for the discussion of SUBJ
jects that are of value to them,
and for the promotion of all their
interests. 1t should become a
permanent feature of the educa-
tional aide of the community.
The value of the meetings will
depend on the interest of the
people of this community. They
can make of it what they villa
success or failure. The state
management may perform its
part we'll, and the speakers may
give valuable addresses, but un.
less the people attend the meet
ings, all the work will have been
done in vain. The state is putt.
ing considerable money into this
institute. The time of such men
as come here to address the
people is valuable. There must
be full house at every meeting
if the community is to receive
the value that it should from the
meeting. The progressive farm,
ers will attend the institute. Nc
time need be spent in telling then
to come out. But the farmers
who do not usually leave the
farm should be stirred up. The
women and young people should
be brought out. Every institute
has something of value for them
as we'll as for the experienced
farmer. The subjects that viii
be discussed are of practical in
terest to every farmer. The mel
who will speak are practical ant
successful farmers who are re
cognized as leaders in their line,
of work. Everybody shoulc
make plans for attending ever,
session of the institute.
