The Republican Party and the Farm


In 1862 Lincoln signed free homes
bill which has added millions to the
vests farming population. In 1902
Roosevelt put his signature to a Ma
tional irrigation act which will place
other millions of farmers in the new
empire which it will create in the arid
region. BY its protective tariff acts the
republican party has put the United
States in the lead of all nations in the
extent and variety of its industrial ac-
tiyities, and has created home market
which has advanced the price of every
thing that the farmer has to sell, has
increased the value of his land and all
other sorts of property belonging to
him. has reduced the cost of things
which the farmer has to buy, and has
made an addition to his comforts and to
his general prosperity and social infiu-
ence undreamed of in the years proceed
ing the foundation of the republican
party.
In the republican scheme in which
the nation has been developed there has
been no forgotten man, white, black
red or brown, low or high, and there
has been no neglected calling. In a
direct and emphatic degree the Ameri
can farmer has reason to be grateful
for the work which has been done for
him by the republican party.-Leslie's
Weekly.

LIrroAT1Ho SAN FRAsorsc0s LossE S.

LITIGATINo SAN FRANCISoos LOssE S.
After several months of fFuitless
effort to settle San Francisco losses
with some of the fire insurance com
panies litigation has been inaugurated
which is likely to prove almost inter-
minable. The crucial point In contro-
versy is the question of fact whether
loss was caused by fire or by earth
quake, liability for the latter being
excepted in nearly all the insurance
contracts In many cases the two
causes are obviously SO intermingled
that II is almost impossible to deter
mine which one was the true source of
loss in the legal sense, while by far the
greater part was due, directly or in
directly, to fire which the earthquake
caused. The Held thus for legal con-
troversy is almost illimitable.
The mere fact of serious litigation,
however. practically cancels insurance
to a great extent. SO far as property
owners are concerned, no matter what
the ultimate decision in the courts
may be, because insurance protection
depends upon prompt payment. The
costs and the delays in such a case
will have a paralyzing effect even
though Judgment for the full amount
should be finally won. and doubtless
prompt settlement for Attraction of II
without litigation. If it could be got
would be more advantageous.
1t is fortunate that many Of the com
panies, including some of the stronges
ones having extensive risks, have al
ready settled or agreed on a settle
ment basis. But the submission o.
the controversy to the courts by othel
strong companies will naturally tenC
to prevent or delay settlements wher'
they have not been yet reached. UpoI

strategy OF the contest. so that their
legal and constitutional case may be
presented to the courts in the most
advantageous and effective manner.
The prospect, therefore, is that any
hope that the carrier corporations
might submit to public authority un-
der the rules laid down by the national
legislature will be disappointed, and
that a corporation effort as memorable
and arduous as the popular movement
to secure the statute will be made to
annul or at least to emasculate II
through the judiciary. Confederated
corporation interests undoubtedly
have 1t in their power to force the is
sue IL they are 30 unwise as to hazard
the consequences to themselves OF

lie interest. but whatever the court
decision may be. they are powerless to
prevent public control.

ATTACK ON THE RArE LAW.

The first concerted effort of the
great railroad companies to minimize
the effect of the amended interstate
commerce law was addressed to the
commission itself, which was put un-
der great pressure to suspend indefi-
nitely some OF the Important require
ments like the one relating to notice
of change of rates. but that effort
failed completely. the commission re-
fusing to commit itself to narrowing
the laws effect by so much as a hair
breadth.
But that move is only preliminary
to the real struggle. for which the
railroad companies In union are now
making. preparations, and which is
said to have for its purpose nothing
less than the humiliation by judicial
decision of the important new powers
over transportation rates and services
provided for in the act passed at the
late session of congress. The secret
conferences now in progress In New
York of a hundred lawyers known to
represent the great carrier corpora.

the ablest railroad officials, are plausi

TIE GRAND ARMY MINNEAPOLIS


The spectacle of $4,000 veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic
massed in Minneapolis for the annual
parade is full of pathetic as well as
inspiring interest Age and infirmities
cannot but be as apparent in their
ranks now as vigor and buoyancy we're
when they and their comrades who
no longer answer roll call marched
forth 10 save the threatened union.
Forty-one years have passed since Sum-
ter was fred on, almost as long period
as that which separates the breaking
out of the war of 1912 and the civil
war With only the rarest exceptions
the veterans marshalled at Min
neapolis must be beyond sixty years,
many of them past three score and
ten, and stricken with the deep hurt
of wounds in battle and the hardships
of camp and march and hospital. The
records show how rapidly the ranks
are thinning now and make sorrow
fully sure that they must thin more
rapidly henceforth. 1t can be only a
few. a very few years, when the last
public array of survivors will appear
and not long till the host that sus-
tanned Abraham Lincoln for the union
will have vanished forever from the
earth.
The nation would be untrue to IT.

in increasing honor as their circle mar

CROPS AND PROSPERITY.
Another Year of Plenty Assured by
the Harvest Fieids.

As an index 20 the nations prosperity
the government crop report Just issued IL
fully up to the most sanguine expectations
with which has been awaited. II holds
out the promise Of the largest wheat crop
in the history Of the country and Of an
enormous yield In other grains, II is estt-
mated that the wheat production will ag-
greeate 5eo,e6sooO bushels. as against a
total yield of SeeOO0,OOo for the year pre-
cedlng. while the output Of corn will be in
the neighbofhood of Ass. 10000 bushels.
Not only has the acreage devoted to wheat
been greatly increased. but there has been
an Increase In the average yield TO the
acre
While the huge crops and the prospect
OF market conditions which should bring
good prices for them promise a continuancJS
OF our great prosperity. Indications OF q
hcurishing business life are to be found in
other branches OF industry. A. a result OF
present conditions and in snucipation OF
still further Improvement there has been
period of tremendous Industrial activity
all alonge the line Iron and steel mills are
unable to meet the market demand. which
is still strengthening, with promises OF a
further advance in prices and no apparent
immediate danger of overproduction. Tha
fall buying season Is opening briskly ana
there Is a notable Increase In railway earn
ings over last year. The report that the
western states are so literally supplied
with money as not TO require any large
withdrawal of funds from the east for crop
moving purposes Is typical feature OF q
general condition in which prices are high
business Is brisk and money abundant.
For another year at least the nation
seems to be safe from disastrous reverses.
While we are enjoying the prospect we
shall be unwise IL we do not recognize that
these conditions cannot endure forever and
that they involve problems peculiarly diff
flcult and delicate. Oyerproduction, specu-
lation and general extravaganza are very
real dangers which frequently follow in the
train of such periods OF opuIence as we
now enjoy. In proportion as we adopt
safeguards against them we shall escape
the worst of the evils of adversely which
are to be expected when the nation enters
upon period Of lean years

POSITION OF EDWARD ROSEWATER
Record Shows that is the Friend and Not the Enemy
of Religion and Education.
Lincoln Journal.

IbulHdl.
Within the period of my residence in
Omaha 1 have contributed thousands and
thousands Of dollars to various protestant
religions, philanthropic and educational in
stitutions in Omaha and Nebraska, and
have several hundred dollars of those
subscriptions yet to pay.
/ contributed $3.50 to the Young women's
Christian association building and another
$50 to the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton building now under construction in
Omaha.
have subscribed $500 to the Swedish hos
pital.
1 gave 500 to the First Methodist church
building and 500 more to lift the mortgage
from that structure.
have contributed from SIS to 500 toward
the erection of nearly every other Prot
estant church in Omaha and hundreds Of
dollars to charitable institutions at Omaha.
Strange as 1t may seem l hold a receipt
for $50 to lift the mortgage on the Cotner
university at Lincoln.
And these contributions in money made
in the face of the fact that am a heavy
borrower and pay interest on every dollar
/ have given, are comparatively insignia
cant, when measured by the value of the
space devoted by The Bee to the dissemi-
nation of religious doctrines embodied in
the sermons of Protestant ministers en-
abled thus to reach tens of thousands
through that medium where they would not
reach hundreds from their own pulpits.
While being stigmatized as the enemy Of
education let me recall that l framed the
law of the Board of Education OF the city
of Omaha and put It through the legisla-
ture when / was member, and at the same
session / also secured the first legislative
appropriation for the erection of the State
Deaf and Dumb institute, designed solely
for the education CT that unfortunate class
As to my championship of the vicious
classes, let me call attention TO the fact
that / have repeatedly urged Governor
Mickey to requlsition his Omaha police
commission to close the saloons In the So
called prescribed district operated in con-
junction with dens of social vice. but found
no responsive chord in his makeup and nc
encouragement frem the Ministerial as
ISOLATION. I had a bill introduced in the
last legislature to effect this reform, but
received no backing or encouragement from
the Epworth league. which seems to prefer
calamity to relief.
One thing I cannot comprehend is how
advocates OF prohibition and champions Of
strict temperance can advocate county loca
option while denouncing the liquor traffit
as sinful and criminal. II the sale OF liquor
in any form. except for medicinal purposes
is sinful is II less sinful to license It un
der county option than under city and towr
option? If the people of the town canno
make the traffic in liquor right. the peopl,
of the county cannot do II, nor for tina
matter the people OF the whole state.
