Indiana, Iowa. Illinois, Texas, Cali
Iornla, Wisconsin, Kansas, Ohio and
Missouri, after starting after the
standard Oil trust, are inquiring.

that we can reply is that Nebraska is
going to build temple of fame in

campus.

Both armies in Manchuria seem to
be making ready for the spring cam
paign, although only skirmishes are
going on. Some of the news indicates
that the japanese are planning a piece
OF grand strategy which involves the
throwing of a larger force into such
position that it will threaten both
Vladivostoc and Kurapatkin's base of
supplies. Admiral Togo left Japan
some time ago to take command of the
japanese fleet which has gone to meet
the Russian feet. No one knows where
either the Russian or japanese fleets
are at present.

The distress among the people of
Japan must be very great There are
tens of thousands of widows and Or
phans, made such by the war and tens
OF thousands more of wounded. The
Japanese have made such brave efforts
to care for the sick and wounded of
both armies that they have commended
themselves to the good will of mankind.
The strain put upon the people-most
OF whom were poor when the war be-
gan by it's awful cost both in money
and lives, is causing very great suffer-
ing. A committee has been formed in
New York composed largely of promi-
nent ministers of all denominations to
receive and solicit help for the sick
and wounded of both armies The
Franklin Trust company of lao Broad
way, N. Y, has been appointed treas
urer of this fund. Among the Russian
prisoners in Japan there are many thou
sand sick and wounded. The Japanese
are straining every nerve to provide
for them, and they do provide for them
the same as their own sick and |
wounded, but the task is very great, |
and they should have help.

The report is current that Secretary
Morton will leave the cabinet some
time during the summer. 1t would
hardly seem possible for him to re-
main in it If Roosevelt is in earnest
in his fight against rebates and extor-
tomato rates. Mr. Morton broke the
law, yet he is an honored member
Of the cabinet. Mr.. Neidringhaus
broke the law and his election to the
senate is being demanded by a large
majority of his political associates. It
is futile to contend that the man who
breaks one law will not in emergency
break another. But if law-breaking
per Sc is not sufficient to disqualify
man from holding public Office, it
would be interesting to learn definitely
what statutes may be, and what stat
utes may not be broken with impunity
by Office seekers The public should
not be left in it's present state of I'M
certainty about so important a matter

Two or three instances have occurred
of late where men who have recently
got work tainted after two or three
hours from starvation before they could
earn enough to buy food. A case in
Cleveland, Ohio, was reported last
week. The man was taken to a hos
pltal. Before he tainted and fell no
one would have thought of aiding him
though his very features told that he
was starving. After he tainted So
ciety steps in, gives him medicine, food
and shelter until he is able to walk.
Things are arranged mighty queer in
this world.
