who gets transportation gives
nothing in return except his in

bribery.
Central City Nonpareil--One

sort of way IN which the fusion
papers poke fun at the republi-
can press for it's criticism of the
late lamented Legislature that
there are no skeletons in their
closets, but their high and nigh
ty you-can't-touch-me style of
humor is a little disgusting to
those who remember the sessions
where their crowd was in con-
troll. The session just closed
was pretty bad in some respects
and full deserves the things the
newspapers are saying about it,
but in point of accomplishment
it is no more barren of results
than the pop Legislature of few
years ago.

radical republicanism in the re-
publican party. While the re-
publican press of the state and
the strongest representatives of
the republican Legislature have
been pounding away for needed
rate legislation the democratic
press has been sitting silent,
using its influence only to help
such corrupt Hobbies as the

Is a Pass a Brlbel


being bride is being discussed
more or less by the newspapers of
the state and the general opinion
expressed is that railroad pass
is a bride. This opinion is ex-
pressed qy a large number, who
formerly claimed that it was not
a bride. The change of opinion
on this subject is due wholly to
the record of the last legislature,
which declined to pass twenty
six bills introduced, each of
which in some way attempted to
regulate the railroad business,
Whether there we're any more
persons in the recent Legislature
than in former sessions that we're
susceptible of influence, by the
favor of pass, we have no means
of knowing. 1t may be that
never before were they subjected
to so thorough test.
1t has always been the custom
of the railroads to favor the
members of the legislation with
annual transportation and grant
them special trip passes for their
friends, regardless of what party
they affiliated. The acts in this
respect have not been different
than in former years. We had
not regarded the practice as one
of bribery nor do not believe that
it was so intended by the railroad
officials, or the railroad compan-
les authorizing the policy. 1t
was a courtesy in recognition of
the honor conferred by the citi-
Gems Of the state. If the pass is
now a bride the recipient of the
favor alone and not the railroads
are at fault. A man who de-
clines to vote or vote against the
interests of his constituents be-
cause of favors received or ex-
pected from any individual or
corporation is guilty of receiving
bride, whether the favor was
intended or not.
We still believe that there are
men who can accept pass and
remain true to his constituents,
but in the light of the recent leg
islature, we would suggest that the
parties hereafter make the pass
question an issue in their politl.
cal conventions in stead of in the
legislature and nominate nc
man who will not pledge himself
not to accept a railroad pass, OF
any favor from any individual o,
corporation during his term Of
Office for himself or friends. Thi,
rule should apply not only t.
members of the legislature but I,
all state and county officers. Thi
would remove the temptation AM

Stnte Press Comment

The following is fair sample
of the views generally expressed
by the press of the state on the
recent Legislature.
Ainsworth Star-Journal-It is
almost unanimous opionion Of
the members of the Legislature
that the present session has been
a record maker in the matter of
the ability of the members, in
the class of laws passed and in
the kind Of bills which were turn
ed down. The rest of the state
is not so unanimous on the pro-
position.
Stuart Ledger-The legisla-
-ture of Nebraska did not over
look the best interests of monkeys,
parrots, quails and beasts Of the
four-footed species, including
prairie dogs. But they side
tracked twenty-seven bills to
lower eXorbitant freight rates,
that would have brought good to
countless people in every town
and hamlet in Nebraska.
York Times-The only way to
beautify the bad influence Of the
lobby is to elect men to the legis-
lature who have wilson enough
to distinguish between good and
bad counsel and stamina enough
to do what they think is right.
There is no way to keep men
from going to all public places
in the state capital and talking
with members of the legislature.
Men do that from good motives
as we'll as bad. When the
governor of Nebraska spoke of
"untrammeled advisers" he coin
ed sentence that will stand, for
its means something. They are
there alone with the rest and
even those who have a special

some and honest advise as any
one, Indeed it is not proof thai
measure is bad because interest
ed men are on the ground t
favor it. A member of the legis
lature has all these conditions t
meet and he must be strong anC
wise enough to do so withou
compromising himself.

PURE

Boiling or Cooking In Amy Form De-
stroys Germ Life.
A pure water supply is rightly look
ed upon as one of the greatest essen
tials to the healthfulness of a COM
munity. Many foods, salads, for exam
pie, cannot be cooked, OF subjected to
the effect of a high temperature,
while, on the other hand, washing
them in infected water may render
them the means of conveying disease.
Among the chief ways of preventing
typhoid fever must be mentioned the
highly probable that the natural juices
of the healthy stomach are able to des-
troy many germs of disease; but the
number which any stomach may be
able to digest must always be uncer-
tain, and it is not desirable to test
its capacity In this direction. The fact
that only certain persons out OF a num-
Der who have partaken of food or
drink infected with disease germs may
suffer is explainable on the ground Of
their different general physical condi-
ton, or Of the varying stages of their
digestive organs. Boiling or cooking
in any form destroys all germ life;
and food or drink about which there is
a question of typhoid infection should
be subjected to one of these processes
before it is taken into the stomach

Lone Inhabitant of Lyman, S. D., Runs
Village.
The extension of the Milwaukee
railroad westward from Chamberlain
to the Black Hills has played havoc
with some OF the little towns which
were established years before there
ever was any prospect that a railroad
would be built through Lyman county.
A conspicuous example of what has
happened to these towns hat were left
off the route Of the new railroad ex-
tension Is the little town of Lyman,
which at one time promised to become
quite an important hamlet. 1t now has
only one male %inhabitant, in the per-
son of L. l.. Armstrong, a pioneer resi-
dent of Lyman county and of the town
of Lyman. He states that he is now
the entire town of Lyman, from post
master to chief Of police, and that
when he leaves town the entire male
population of the town goes with him.
Armstrong constitutes the mayor,
board of education, town council and
other officials Of the town, and he
thinks he is entitled to congratula-
lions, for no matter what official &C.
ton he takes with reference to munich
pal or educational matters there is no
one to criticise or apply for injunc-

Building Are Encouraging.
State Land Commissioner Bach has
returned from Mcpherson county,
where he held a second offering Of
state building lands. He disposed of
700 acres, all to residents Of the coun-
ty, who took the land at the minimum
price of $40 an acre, bringing to the
fund another $1,000. This sale, with
the former one held. has brought the
fund from that county alone to more
than $4,000.
Besides these sales the department
IL disposing of tracts at private sale
on the same terms as the offerings at
the auction sale. In the last week 240
acres has been disposed Of In Ed.
munds county, where there was not a
bid at the time OF the auction. ~
Commissioner Bach is well pleased
with the outlook and thinks there will
be no trouble in disposing of the re-
quired amount of land to proceed with
the work on the capitol building early
next spring. AS soon as the spring
land business opens there probably
will be another offering at auction in
all counties east of the river where
such lands are located.

GEOGRAPHY As IT 10 TAUGHT.
Map Making Made Easy, But Little
knowledge Absorbed.


Little Rob was the prize geogra-
pher of his class; that is. he could To-
cate cities, and bound countries with
great glibness. He could draw the
most realistic maps, printing in the
rivers, mountain ranges and cities
from memory. Rob considered geOg.
raphy purely in the light of a game,
in which he always beat, but he never
associated it with the great world
about him. Rivers to him were no
more than black, wiggly lines; cities
were dots and States were blots. New
York was green, Pennsylvania was
red and California was yellow.
OF course Rob had never travelled.
He was born in a canon near the
country school he attended. One day
n teacher made the discovery Of
Rob's idea Of geography through the
following incident. After vainly in

where British Columbia is located, she
