TO IMPROVE RIVERS.

1t begins to look as If the most i'm
portant measure which would occupy
the attention of the next session of
congress, will be the improvement of
internal waterways, and from present
indications Nebraska, together with
all other states on the Missouri river,
will benefit. In fact the entire coun-
try will benefit If the present plans
are carried out.
Kansas City men have just appro-
priated 100000 for the building Of
a great fleet of river boats which will
carry freight and save the merchants
and shippers of that city 100000 per

cheaper than rail, 1t is argued that the
rivers could be used down to the gulf
for making cheaper transportation for
the whole inland country.

A few days ago all Nebraska wore
a worried look, and the frown grew
deeper each day, because OF clear
skies that continued day after day, re-
fusing to pour out any moisture, and
because OF hot winds that blew from
the southwark, putting n tan on the
fields that ought to be green. Some
alarm had even begun to be felt, lest
the crops might suffer materially and
lest this might be another OF the old
fashioned dry years. But fun inch
Of ranwater on the level country fell
from the clouds on Sunday night and
Monday morning, and today confidence
has been restored. II was only two
weeks that we were without rain, yet
they were two vital weeks. II has

to provide the proper amount OF water
for Nebraska, and the performance OF
this week shows that there need be
little alarm felt for the coming sum.

OF. And now, with good rain and a
good start in the fields, there is no
reason why there should not be n

new YORK JEWS HOLD MEETING
President Sends Telegram Relative to
Bialystok Massacre.

New York. June 21.--A telegram
from President Roosevelt, relative Ia
the recent massacre of Jews in Rus
sia, was read to a mass meeting OF
Jews in this city. In it the president
said:
IL shall 90 over the matter with
Secretary Root. You know how deep
ly we sympathize with your feelings
and how shocked and Mortified we are
at what has occurred in Russia, but
you know also how well nigh impos
sible it is to accomplish anything but
harm by interference"
The mass meeting was held at the
Beth Hammeddrosch Hagadal syna
gogue, in Norfolk street, to lament the
death OF the Jews in the recent mas
sacre at Bialystok, Russia. The syna
gogue, which holds about 5000 per
sons, was crowded to the doors
while outside there was as large Q
crowd who could not get into the
building.
When the lamentations for the
dead were chanted, there were sobs
from every quarter Of the synagogue
and a number of women became hys.
terical from grief. Several rabbis
made speeches in YiddiJh, after which

There come times in the lives Of all
men when 1t is necessary to take de-
cided and positive stands on various
questions that come up. The man who
fails and shirks the responsibility, per-
haps through the fear of antagonizing
one set OF people or another indicates
his weakness. The man who sees
what he thinks is the right course and
the honest view. and who declares him
self, shows his strength. That is what
differentiates between the strong and
the weak, the leaders and the follow
ers. A man may be ever so nice, and
ever so pleasant to talk with. and
handsome withal, but that is not
enough to make of him leader among
his fellows, The world admires and

CHICAGO'S ZEAL.

The commercial interests Of. Chi
cago have wired to Prof. Peters OF the
Nebraska university experiment sta
tion, asking him to come to Chicago
and, in company with several other
prominent scientists, investigate the
condition OF the packing houses at
Chicago. The investigation is being
had, Of course, for the sake of protect
ing Chicago business interests as much
as possible, from the effects OF the
meat inspection report. But 1t is far
too late for the packing houses to now
satisfy the public with any whitewash
OF this sort. Too much time, allowing
chances to clean up, has elapsed since
the report OF President Roosevelt was
issued, to satisfy the opinion Of the
public on this matter.
The business zeal of Chicago men
just at this time brings back the i'm.
pressions which were written about
the town by Rudyard Kipling when he
toured America and set forth his views
In Letters Of Marque." In Chicago
Mr.. Kipling found gllded hotels. with
people rushing in and out with tele,
grams in their hands, and talking
about how much money they were
making, A cabman drove him around
