an account of his trip to Lincoln
but handed the article to the Re-
publican first and when he went

the article set up but hadn't proof

publican force thought it was a
legal notice. They never sent it
over nor notified US that they were |
through with it. They've prob
ably filed it away.

right to persons having filed on
homesteads between April % and
June Is, on 100, expecting to fill
out the $40 acres after June %.
The commissioner holds that per-
sons having filed after April %
are cut out of the right to secure
the other three quarters. 1t be-
ing matter of gross injustice to-

A Poor Man for the Job.

President Roosevelt really seems
t, be in earnest in his endeavors
t, regulate the railroad rates, and
i, making strenuous efforts to get
c ,ngress to pass such measure.
But if he is honest in this regard
be has been sadly deceived in the
selection of one of the members of
his cabinet. We refer to Secre-
tary Morton, of the navy. For a
number of years this man has
been vice president of the Sante
Fe road and has had charge of the
traffic management of it. 1t has
recently developed that there
has been the most fragrant abuses
on this line in the matter of secret
rebates, and when Morgan's at
trntion was called to the fact he
said that the road did right in
granting the rebates to the favor
ed shipper and that he would have
done the same himself. This is
the man whom the president has
selected because of his knowledge
Of railroad affairs to aid him in his
war upon secret rebates and I'M
just rates. The people will not
expect much of such man as this.
The president may be honest but
he is exercising pretty poor judg-
ment in the selection of his lieu
tenants. -Papillion Times.

A Heartfelt Tribute.

That was a splendid tribute the
minority party in the state legisla-
ture paid to Richard Metcalf of the
World Herald in naming him as it's
candidate for the high Office of L.
S. senator from Nebraska. Elmer
j. Burkett was elected to the place
at the dictation of the railroad cor
porations by men who we're on the
verge of revolving against such
action. The honor was conferred
upon him without cheer and
without a "Godspeed' coming
from the hearts of those who
wrapped the toga around him.
There may be those who think the
mention of Metcalf's name, by the
handful of men in the legislature
who represent the minority. Was
an empty honor, but deep down in
his heart Elmer j. Burkett would
have been proud of a nomination
born of the same feeling than he
was of capturing the prize he
sought. Metcalf, loyal, lion heart
ed champion of the peoples rights,
fighting alone seemingly hopeless
battle, is one of the most heroic
figures in Nebraska today. He
may never be rewarded with the
emoluments or the honor of high
office, but he will be rewarded
with that which is far nobler, far
more dignifed-the love of those
who love the old order of things
the ideals of our revolutionary
sires, our forefathers and the saint
ed patriots of our country's youth
full days. And he will have the
appreciation of his own conscience
as pure and as unblemished as
child's. We would rather be Rich
ard L. Metcalf today than Elmer
J. RwkNtt. -Neuaba Co. Herald.

Integrity, good judgment, pride
and stable business conditions are
the factors which make banks reas-
enable, safe and trusty. Once we
saw q woman who had inherited a
few hundred dollars, go into d bank
to deposit the money. She asked
the banker what security he was
going to give her for the deposit.
With a smile he told her that it
was not the custom for banks to
do business that way. 1t will be
understood that she was not famil
lar with business. She possessed
tho truth instinct of preserving
what she had, and SO laughed out
into an argument. She said she
could not borrow at any bank
without security, and she could
see no reason why she should en-
trust her money to the bank with
out security. While such a sys
tenn does not seem practical, a
good many people have had
thoughts not unlike this woman
who pressed the claim of natural
reason.-Chadron Times.

Ten Men Will Own Us All.
That is Thomas Laws:n's Theory This
Month.

Thomas w. Lawson's "Frenzied
Finance article in Everybody's
magazine for February, is the story
of the scare he threw into'' the
system" last month, and a lesson
in the financial system of the ma
ton. Mr.. Lawson shows in this
dual article that be has not lost the
power to shock much shocked
people into close attention. He
makes this startling prediction of
the coming power of the men at
the head of the system"
1t is only a matter of simple
mathematics to ascertain the day,
and that only few years away,
when ten men will be as absolute
ly and completely the legal owners
of the entire United States and all
there is of value in it, as John D.
Rockefeller is the absolute legal
owner of the large section of it of
which today he is possessed.
RUNNING THE MACHINE.
He says as a preliminary to this
prediction:
In fact, the system has cum
ningly possessed itself of the f.
nancial mechanism of the country
and is running it, not for the OBJ
ject for which the machine was de-
vised. but for the benefit and per-
sonal profit of it's votaries, and so
the vast correlated organization of
banks, trust companies and insur-
ance corporations which we're
brought into being for the safe
handling of the peoples savings
has become an agency for trans
ferring these savings to the con-
troll of INSCRIPTIONS manipulators,
who take liberal toll of every dol
lar that passes through their hands.
Mr.. Lawson makes an interest
ing comparison between the old
Louisiana lottery and the 'sys-
tenn" quite in favor of the former.
I'm the height of its prosperity
he says, the Louisiana lottery
only took from the people paltry
SlO,O00,O00 or S2O,OOO,OOO a
year, while today there are single
groups of banks, trust companies,
corporations and trusts which take
from the people, by might, by
trick and by theft, hundreds of
millions each year.
