How much of the value Of steel is the
product of the men who work in the
mills? Can anyone say that the value
of steel belongs wholly to the men who
mine the ore and smelt and fashion
the steel? Does not part of that value
equitably belong to the school teacher
who taught those men and gave to
their brains intelligence? Does not
part of it belong to the chemists, the
philosophers, the inventors who have
preceded them?
Let every man have for his own, not
as an S0-millionth part owner, but for
himself alone, all the wealth that he
produces, but don't let him set up a
claim to wealth that he never pro-
duced, and don't let him he robbed of
what wealth he produces by means Of
tariffs, trusts and railroad extortion.
In regard to what would be done
with railroad presidents under govern
ment ownership, and it is strange that
any man should raise such question,
it may be said that they would still be
railroad presidents just as they are
now. They would be in the service of
Uncle Sam instead of Hill, Hartman,
Gould and Rockefeller. That would be
true of all railroad employees. There
would be no strikes and the railroads
would be out of politics, just as the
postoffice is out of politics. Politicians
would pay their fare with just as much
certainty as they now put stamp on
letter if they expect it to be trans
ported in the mails.

Figured It All Out.

Universal disgust is expressed
among republicans allaover the state
in regard to the present legislature.
They will everywhere assert that it is
corporation body, that the state Off
GERS are like the legislature, that the
conventions Of the republican party
are all manipulated by the railroads,
they will denounce the pass system
and repeat with bitterness what pop
ulists have been saying about the re-
publican party for the last tell years.
After all that, if one of them is cor
nered and is forced to answer the ques-
ton whether he will continue to vote
the republican ticket with conventions
under the control of the railroad and
officers universally riding on passes,
he will answer yes.
It is probable therefore, that the
republican party will continue to rule.
A young lawyer in the northern part
of the state has figured it all out. He
says that the way to obtain office in
Nebraska is to denounce the eXtor-
lions of the trusts and railroads and
always stand in with the republican
party. What the people want is a
man who will always denounce the
railroads, ride on passes and always
vote the way the roads dictate. It will
never do for a man to vote against the
roads. The man who does is always
downed at the next election. The.
same thing happens to a party that
does that sort of thing. The young
lawyer gave as an illustration Of the
last statement the manner in which
the peoples party was treated. That
party came into power by an accident,
went to work in the hardest times that
this state ever saw, and without in
creasing taxes one cent, paid off $780,
900 of the state debt. Just as soon
as the people could get whack at
that party, they proceeded to knock it
cold and stiff Then the republican
party came into power in the best
times that the state had had for two
decades, and increased the state debt,
with nothing to show for it, million
and half, in two years. The repub-
licans denounced that extravaganza
with the same vehemence that they
are now denouncing pass grabbing,
and then proceed to elect an almost
solid republican legislature. The
young lawyer continued his philoso-
phising as follows:
II am going into politics. I am go
ing to be a republican and denounce
the corporations and trusts with all the
spare breath that have. am going
to do that very thing and always vote
just as the railroad magnatcs and
trust magnates tell me to. You just
keep watch on me and you will find

| in 1901 for the Franz Josef archipela-
go, north of Nova Zembla, in the be-
lief that the land of that group ap-
preached nearer the pole than any
other land of the north polar region
Peary, on the other hand, believed
that the northern portion of Green
land was nearer the pole than any
other land, and all his explorations
have been conducted from the Green
land coast.
The Baldwin expedition of 1901 was
equipped to reach the pole. Baldwin's
plan was to establish base on the
northermost land of the Franz Josef
archipelago, spend his first winter
there, and make dash for the pole in
the spring from Rudolf Land. Bald
win was not able to get farther north
in the fall of 1901 than Camp Ziegler,
so degrees and 20 minutes north, and
he did not make the dash to the pole.
Disappointed over results, Mr.. Zieg-
Ter organized another expedition, un.

had been a member of the Baldwin

Ia taking advantage of his experience
in the Baldwin expedition, would sail
directly to the point where the stores
had been left by Baldwin and lose no
time in making a dash to the pole.

fixed for the dash to the pole Fiala's
ship was crushed in the ice in Schlitz
bay, and that for over year the mem
bers of the expedition were held pris.

on stores left by previous expeditions,

petition under William S. Champ,
which left Norway in May.
The Baldwin expedition failed of its
main object because of the ice that
blocked all the channels of Franz Jo-
sef Land. The Fiala expedition failed
to do its appointed dash north because
its vessel was crushed by ice. Mean
time Commander Peary is proceeding
in a specially constructed vessel for
the waters of northern Greenland.
from which he expects to work his
way to the northernmost point ever
reached by any vessel and then cross

DIAMONDS WHILE YOU WAIT.
Valuable Crystals Made In Laboratory
of Prof. Moissan.

The art of making diamonds has
been given a step forward through a
study of the demonstrating meteoric
iron of Canon Diablo. In section of
this famous meteorite Prof. Moissan
has found numerous diamonds-both
black and nsparent-together with
graphite and phosphorus and sulphur
combined with iron. He has also
made experiments to determine the
effect of silicon, sulphur, and phos-
phorus. Iron was fused with a large
mass OF sugar in a crucible in an cleo
trio furnace. A soon as the molten
iron had become saturated with car
bon-partly from the sugar-a small
proportion of iron sulphide was intro
duced, and the crucible was plunged
into cold water. With rapid cooling
as an essential, the carbon crystal.
llzed out from the center of the mass.
The iron sulphide considerably in.
creased the yield of diamond crystals
as did also the silicon, but phosphorus
had no MISUNDERSTANDING Siftings.

IRON ORE SUPPLY FAILING.
Worlds Store May Not Suffice for the
Demands Made Upon 1t.

oNi'aIoo NdeS SPS'' 80
The amount of iron ores still avail
able is very great, doubtless many
times, perhaps twenty-fold. as great
as has been won to use. Yet already
in the continent of Europe the fields
long in service are beginning to be ex-
hausted. Great Britain has practi-
cally consumed its store, which cen
fury ago seemed ample. Practically
all the supply for its furnaces is now
imported.
The supply from the Mediterranean,
that promised to be ineXhaustible, can
not endure for many decades to come.
The same is the condition of the ore
districts of central Europe. At the
rate of the increasing demand they
are not likely TO meet the demands
of 100 years. There remain extensive
deposits of rich ores in the Scandina
Wan peninsula and in fields of the
confines of Belgium and France which
have hardly begun to be drawn upon,
yet it is evident that at anything like
the present rate of increase in the
consumption of metallic iron in Eu-
rope the sources of supply are not
likely to endure for century.
The best-placed field for the produc-
ton of iron in North America. or,
save that in northern China, in the
world, is in the central section of the
Mississippi valley, mainly between the
great river and the Appalachian sys-
tenn of mountains and northward be-
yond the great lakes to the head
waters of the streams flowing into
Hudson's bay, the physical conditions
on the whole being favorable for the
cheap production of the metal and it's
ready transportation to the principal
markets. 1t is question, however, If
the store viii supply the demands
OF the future.
