follows:
I'VE are unalterabfy m favor Of the
merit system for the public service, in
all departments thereof and without
equivocation, and in favor of advance
ment therein from rank to rank by
just promotional rules and regula-
tions."
I'VE demand that the people now as
sert their own rights and proceed to
bring about municipal ownership and
operation"
Municipal ownership has proved a
success not only in street car transpOr-
tation, but in better service in the
conduct of all public utilities. Within
the last ten days the press announced
that the British government was pro-
ceeding to take over all the private
telephone companies of Great Britain
and combine them with the telegraph
system, which it has operated for years
to the full satisfaction Of the public"
Municipal ownership is not a the
ory, but proved and actual fact. Most
of the large cities of England, Scotland
and Ireland now own and operate their
street car systems efficiently and econ
omically, and to the full satisfaction
of the people of those cities. 1t has
universally resulted in reduced fares,
increased wages to employees, shorter
hours Of employment and better street
car service. Not single city that has
undertaken municipal ownership and
operation of street car lines has ever
gone back to private control. What is
true of Great Britain is true of a large
number of the chief cities of Germany,
France, Belgium, Austria-Hungary,
Switzerland, Italy, Australia and New
Zealand
To bring down upon those magnifl
cent statements the memory of ST.
Louis, Hill, Parker and Belmont, by
making the leading speakers men who
voted for and advocated the election
OF Parker, and who are known only
by their connection with national poll
tics, is simply to SOW the field with salt
once more.

The Value of q Colora do Farm

A Colorado irrigated farm is, un-
doubtedly the safest and most profit
able agricultural investment to be
found anywhere: Safe because with ir-
rigation crop failure is never known,
and profitable because Colorado's eli
mate and soil are ideal for farming
purposes. But how valuable is a Colo
RADIO farm? We will let figures-which
never lie-answer the question.
First, we must determine what con-
stitutes the true value of an acre of
land. Is it the price at which the
owner will sell? No. Is it the price
offered by buyer? No. The real
value of an acre of land is fixed by
the annual net profit that acre can
be made to produce.
To explain: In Illinois-a typical
agricultural state-a farmer can make
his land yield net profit of from
eight to ten dollars per acre per an
mum; and the current price of i'm
proved farm land is about $13O per
acre. What determines the price of
that acre? In Illinois six per cent
is considered fair rate of interest,
and eight dollars, the profit from an
acre Of land-is six per cent of $3.50;
hence $3.50 is the true value of that
acre, because it will produce eight dol
lars. the same amount that $3.50 would
produce if loaned at six per cent in
terest.
Thus, if one acre of land produced
net profit of twenty dollars a year.
it's real value would be 1888, for twenty
dollars is six per cent or that sum.
In other words, the annual profits of
a farm should be regarded as six per
cent Of its total value.
Having demonstrated that the value

Levi B. Fuller of Holt county had

The wellknown firm of Nye & Buch-

Gambling in Bread.

John w. Gates of Chicago, together
with coterie of board of trade gam
blers, has manipulated a corner" in
May wheat. This cabal of spectators
has secured control of 30,O00,OO0 BUSH
els of the cereal. BY this monopoly
of possession it is proposed to push
the price of May wheat up to $150 per
bushel, and, if possible. to 81 per
bushel. The "shorts"-those who are
on the wrong side of the market-wiIl
be compelled to settle at the price
fixed by Gates.
Let's see. Who is to benefit by the

increase in the price Of Wheat-a
forced increase? Not the wheat rails
ers, for the most of them have sold
their wheat Not those who must have
wheat to fill their contracts, for they
are in the position of the man who
is. held up at the pistols mouth. Not
the millers, for they must have wheat,
whatever the price Not the bakers,
for they must pay more for their flour.
And not the consumers, for they must
pay more for their daily bread. And
in the last analysis the consumer footS
the bill. The miller and the baker
can pass the price along. The public
must pay.
What is the difference, morally, be-
tween this hold-up of the people by
raising the price of bread and the
methods of the armed robbers of the
middle ages who levied tribute upon a
defenseless people? Ethically speak
ing, there is no difference And the
only distinction is as to the size of
the loot. The medieval bandits were
able to compass the spoliation of a
single district. Gates and his gang
everybody who eats bread.
Legitimate speculation. Modern bus
mess methods? Nothing criminal?
That is precisely the point. Theft is
legitimized. Business" is prostituted
and made highway robbery. Criminal
ity is made to depend upon the scale
OF the crime. Mr.. Gates and his as
sociates in crime hope to take (take,
mind you, not make) $10,000,000 to
$150,000,000 out of this transaction.
And thus are the stomachs of the poor
exploited to make money for these
'shreWd lOng-headed business men,
Can't stop it? Of course not France
stops it, The men who gamble in the
necessaries of life in that country, and
put up the price, go to prison. Not
many of them go to prison. The PEN
atty of the law is sufficient to deter
them. Of course we can't stop whole
sale gambling in bread and meat and
fuel in this country if no one tries
to stop it. And for years nobody has
tried.
But a change has come over the
spirit of mems dreams. Today the
strong hand of government is reach
ing after John d. Rockefeller's "busi-
ness" graft. Inequity of railroad rates
and rebates is become iniquity in the
sight of all men and government says
it must be stopped. The robbery of the
stockmen on the one hand and the rob-
berry of the meat consumers on the
other, by the beef trust, is to be
stopped by government.
We are beginning to wake up to the
fact that our civilization is honey
combed with injustice. We have
grumbled about it long enough. What
was everybody's business was nobodys
business. Now, thanks to aroused pub
lie sentiment somebody is making
everybOdy's business his own. In
obedience to aroused sentiment the
president of the United States demands
"a square DEAL"
Putting up the price of bread for
the sake of revenue is not a square
deal. If Standard Oil jobbery can be
stopped, if railroad rate robbery can
be ended, if the rascally grabbers of
the peoples meat can be punished. a
way also can be found to stop the
wholesale gambling in bread and to
punish the rascally gamblers.

DEFEAT FOR KURCPATKIN.
All Hopes for a Victory Are Rapidly
Vanishing.

st. Petersburg, March 7.-All hope
that Gen. Kuropatkin will be able TO
turn defeat into victory is rapidly van
ishing. The position OF the Russian
army has been growing increasingly
desperate during the last twenty-four
hours. The greatest danger is from
the Japanese left, which has been
pushed northward on the Simintin
road to a point eight miles northwest
Of Mukden, where it has joined a
nanking column from the west around
the village of Tachtakio, which is To-
Gated at this point. The battle ragged
with terrible bitterness throughout
yesterday with all the reserves hur.
ried to the scene to block the stroke
at the Russian line Of communications.
Gen. Baron Kaulbears, who is de-
Tending this wing, is only able to hold
his own. On account of the desperate
situation there Gen. Kuropatltin has
not attempted to drive home his coun.
ter stroke at the Japanese center, and
his offensive, which was abortiye, has
been abandoned. At the same time,
encouraged by the progress of the
main turning movement west, Gen.
Kuroki again pressed forward from
the EAST yesterday against Gen. Line
witch, forcing the Russians to give
ground.
At the war Office it is said that the
Japanese siege guns from Port Arthur,
with a range of eight miles, are caus-
ing terrible punishment. Nothing can
stand up against them.

Spells Of Numbness and Weakness
Recovers Perfect Health.
When she was fourteen years old, Mira,
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable sem
s%ations, which she recently described as
follows:
"One hand, half Of my face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come ON, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times q day. Besides I would
have palpitation of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that I could
hardly breathe. As time went oil these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbncss would sometimes
extend wei half my body"
"How did you get rid of them?"
at seemed for q long time as if I never
could get rid of them. 1t was not until
about six yearsa ago that l found a remedy
that had virtue enough i'll it to reach my
case. That was DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-
tirely cured me-"
"Did it take long to effect n cure?"
"Noi l hadn't taken the whole Of tho
first box before I saw a great improve
ment. So l kept on using them, growing
better all the time, until | had taken eight
boxes and then / was perfectly well, aud
l have remained in good health ever
since with one exception"
"What was that?"
"Oh that was when l had the grip.
! was in bed, under the doctors care,
for two weeks. When ] got up l had
dreadful attacks Of dizziness. ! had to
grasp hold of something or | would fall
right down. l was just miserable, and
when / saw the doctor was not helping
me, | began to take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills again. In a short time they cured
me of that trouble too, and have never
had any dizzy spells since"

Pink Pills are without an equal for the

t%ration. They expel the poison left in the
system by such diseases as grip and are
the best of tonics in all cases of weak.
