GROWTH OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
The relative Importance of munich
pal government has been recently
forced upon public attention in many
ways, but never more notably than
by the facts developed by the national
census bureau through it's investiga-
ton into public debts. 1t is a sur
prising and pregnant fact that the ag-
gregate debt of cities of 5000 popu-
latiOn and upward in the United
States exceeds S1.6OO,OOO,O 900, or an
amount, as the census bureau states,
greater than that Of the combined
debt of the national and state gov
ernments and of the counties, school
districts and other minor civil dis
tricts."
The comparison throws into clear
light the immensely greater place
which municipal government occupies
now in the life of the people and the
rapidity with which it is taking on
and enlarging functions which were
formerly either left to private enter
prise or were entirely. unperfOrmed.
The facts likewise carry a most i'm
pressive lesson on the neglected sub
iect of municipal taxation.
The most vital suggestion, however,
arises out of the circumstance that
the prodigious municipal debt bears
directly upon only the oue-third of the
total population of the country which
in 1900 was included in cities of over
5000. Concentration of population is
going on so steadily that within a
generation fully one-half, instead of
one-third, of the total will almost GER
tainly be MISSED in cities of over
| 5000. II the tendency to serve urban
wants, which rapidly assume the char
acter of necessities, by municipal
( agency and taxation shall continue at
the rate shown during the last two
decades and especially the last few
years, as in all probability it will
problems Of organization and admin
istration of great complexity and diff.
J .hculty will have to be solved.
As the case stands municipal ar.
rangements are antiquated, clumsy
ineficient, uneconomic. Particularly
In our western states the typical sys
tenn for municipal regulation is the
crudest sort of patchwork over a con
stitutional and statutory frame orig

II there be a place on earth where
good fortune and abundance and
every happy Circumstance impart sig
nifcsnce to the Thanksgiving cere-
monisl, Nebraska is that place, and
this is the year, climaxing as it does
series of years of unexampled pros
perity. The expansion of fruitful ac-
tivity is nation wide. indeed, in a
sense world wide, but it may we'll be
doubted II in the nation or in the
world there is another community in
which so many felicitous ciroum-
stances combine in an appeal to graft
tude as in our own commonwealth.

mensely enhanced by the retrospect Of

Of pioneers who in eontrastiRgs scenes
prepared and made straight the way
that has led to such pleasant places.
That hardy. enduring, intrepid race OF
men and women whose faith and
strength it was that transformed the
desert are entitled above all to a
place in the reflections Of this day,
the more because the circle OF the
survivors is so rapidly narrowing.
mot less is there admonition, if
there be wisdom TO discern it, that by
those virtues alone by which the
abounding blessings of this situation
we're gained can they be retained and
perpetuated. The arduous conditions
of the earlier years-poverty, depriva-
tion, the formidable menace Of the
plains, the disaster of sterile seasons
and devastating visitations -- chal-
lenged and developed the qualities that
bring success. Prosperity also, though
in a different way, is a test of char
acter and is attended with it's own
peculiar dangers.
The true Thanksgiving, If its in
forming spirit be intelligent and loyal.
will lead away from mere fatuous self
satisfaction and into serious appre-
citation of the duty that is inseparable
from power and opportunity.

THE MISSOURI RIVER.

Public thought is again being
turned in the direction of the Missouri
river and the rehabilitation of COM
merce on that turbulent stream is
again considered. The advantage of
water transportation is unquestiona-
BILE. Neglect of the Missouri river as
a factor in commerce has been due
solely to the fact that the country it
traverses has developed at rate that
would not brook che delay of water
transportation. The grand old river
carries today the same volume of
water and flows In the same general
direction as it did an hundred years
ago when Captains Lewis and Clark
followed it from it's mouth to that
magnificent scene in the heart of the
Rockies, where the Missouri is born
of the turbulent union of the Jeffer-
son, Madison and Gallatin. The OBJ
ject of that expedition was to estab-
lish communication by water, IL posi-
BILE, between the eastern and western
pedition determined the navigability
of the Missouri river as far as the
Great Falls. and for more than half
century it's bosom bore the freight of
the great northwest. The coming of
the iron horse drove the slow-going
and uncertain steamboat from the
river and now for twenty-five years
the Missouri has practically been
abandoned
Much misdirected effort has been
expended with the process of restoring
the Missouri river to its usefulness as,
an artery of commerce. Considerable
sums of money have been wasted in
vain attempt to check its erratic cur
rent and confine it within we'll defined
limits. Experience has proven what
may and may not be done with the
Missouri Present projects have the
advantage of this experience and are
basing their calculations on fairly ac-
curate knowledge of the Yagaries of
the great stream.
a line of boats is plying with con
siderable regularity between Kansas
City and st. Louis and bulky freight
is being handled at a rate Tar below
what the railroads ask for similar
service. Omaha has been invited TO
come in and patronize similar line
and the project has a number of en-
thusiastic supporters. No question
exists as to the feasibility of the plan.
It only remains to determine that the
shippers are willing to avail them
selves Of the advantages afforded by
water transportation. Public interest
in the matter can go no farther. The
question must now be decided by pri-
vate individuals.

ROMANCE OF THE CORN CROP
Husky Monarch Considered Founda-
tiOn OF National Prosperity.

Boston Transcript.
The people OF this country do not fully
realize the distinction that attaches to our
corn crop. 1t is a crop that for the most
part is peculiar TO this country and by
many million bushels exceeds every other
If not all others in It. Tire most recent
government report upon this years yield,
which is no longer a natter of guessworh
but a practically determinable quantity.

bushels more than last year. which also
broke all previous records. This means

S1,lO0OOo,OoO Forty years ago the crop was
S67. .946, 2a5 bushels, and large as those fig
ures seemed at the time, We have this
year returns of over three times as much.
II is said that this Is not cereal that
goes abroad and helps to pay off our Euro
pean finance bills" inasmuch as the an
nual export is only between 10 and 20 per
cent. That is true Of direct shipments of
the grain, but It is not true when we con-
slider it's relation to other articles OF stan
dard commerce. "Cornfed" is an American
term. Literally It means that for rapid
and rich fsttening Of either hogs or cattle
# is the grain upon which we most do
pend. Other countries may have sweeter
pastures, but none other can equal us in
what Is known as stsll-fed beef and pork.
This fact is so generally recognized that
We apply the term "cornfed' in a figura-
tive sense to many things that have ma
tured quickly to a very prosperous condi-
tiOn. It is applied to trusts and 70 heavy
dividend combination of all kinds. More
than anything else corn is the foundation
OF national prosperity. In an average year
We consume about 2,S)0,OOQO0O bushels in
our own country and It ought to have it's
praises sung by home market clubs all
