EREE PASS ARISES.


In connection with the indictment
of former Postmaster Crow on charges
of attempting to influence members Of
the federal grand jury by the distri-
button of railroad passes the question
naturally arises, why the railroads
and there seems to be at least four Of
them involved-should furnish free
transportation for grand jurors under
any circumstances.
The railroads are known to have
been pretty liberal in the past in
granting "courtesies" to court officers
and court attaches and still more lib
eral to lawmakers and legislative on
hangers, but that the pass system ex-
tended down to the talesmen sitting
on juries had only been suspected.
One can easily imagine a case pre-
sented to a grand Jury disclosing fla
grant law violation by high railroad
officials where every member of the
jury was riding free back and forth to
his home by courtesy" of the self
same railroad.
A prohibition Of the issue of free
passes for interstate transportation
has been included in the new rate bill,
although with too many exceptions,
and some similar law that will control
the issue of free passes for transpor-
tation wholly within state lines will

THE THRIVING WEST.
Eastern People Obliged TO sit Up and
Take Notice.
New York Mail.

New YORK MAIL.
There was a time when the east had to
carry the west. Everything out there
was done on borrowed money-money bor-
rowed from the east Now the west pretty
nearly carries the east. II feeds us. and
buys our goods.
1t is in the west that the foundation
values are produced. Eastern agriculture,
for instance, is a local. subsidiary. mere
side-dish agriculture. The piece de re-
sistance on every table comes from the
west. The west supplies not only the meat
and the bread, but generally the potatoes.
The celery, the Brussels sprouts and the
Strawberries may come from the east but
the substantials are from the prairies.
The other day Judge w. II, Moore, re-
turning from an inspection trip over the
Rock Island and Frisco railroad systems,
said
"A thing that struck me in the southwest
is that the farming is scientific. The peo-
Pile find out just what the soil will produce
before they plant it, The government and
the railroads have done a splendid work
for that country in placing the farming on
this basis Out in west Kansas and west
ern Nebraska they arc raising, on what
were the semi-arid lands, two crops of
alfalfa, and are making fairly successful
euOrts IN wheat culture. only a Few years
ago land in that region sold at $50 an
acre. The same lands now sell from $50
to $40 an acre. That speaks for itself"
1t is in the west that scientific farming.
producing an increased yield by thorough
cultivation, Is now getting IN its work.
BY means OF H. grazing land is going into
agriculture all over the semi-arid west
Year by year Texas, where all public land
is state land, not United States land. an
nually auctions on to the highest bidder
hundreds Of thousands Of acres upon which
grazing leases have run out. The central
and western parts of Kansas and Ne
braska, which were once held to be good
only for stock-raising purposes, are now
producing millions OF bushels of wheat.
Alfalfa, with two 10 five crops a year, has
doubled the producing power Of much land.
Exhausted" farms are being converted, by
scientific tillage, into highly productive ter
ritory.
All this points toward vista OF intelli-
gent prosperity which is far beyond any
thing that the country has yet realized.
The time will yet come when this wave OF
agricultural improvement will roll back
over eastern hills and meadows, but Just
now it is the boundlsss ives. which enjoys
the Midas touch.

The Obvious Purpose.

What is obvious in the hubbub is the de-
termination of the democrats to put the
president in a hole, il asseveration and
abuse can do It, They deal in half truths
and assumptions and nothing is more in
evidence than their coaching Of Mr.. TILL
man, lest by saying too much the fat will
be in the fire. If they cannot make any
political capital out of the rate bill they are
bound to take a fall out of the president.
1t is a game they have played long while
without scoring and they are losing at it
again

rate Bill Compromise.


Whether the president has Surrendered"
In accepting the Allison amendment is an
other and much larger question. The fnal
touches of the bill as IT goes to him for
signature will throw more light on that
subject. But it may be said without disre-
spect to the president that he has always
intended TO accept that degree of eompro-
mise which was necessary I'm the final
roundup, provided he could still obtain sub
stantial results He is a great believer in
the half loaf. He once explained to a
friend his reason for certain lack Of def
niteness in his announced program by
saying that he hoped TO avoid anything so
specific as to prove an embarrassment when
1t came time to agree on the final terms.
The president has not wanted rates regu-
lated by law suit. He has preferred that
degree of court review, conforming to tho
constitution, which would still leave an
administrative body to carry out this work
in accordance with legislative standards,
with the courts to pass on it's keeping
within its proper province. Evidence accu-
mulates that the president has secured sub
stantial results, although not his entire
program.

Strange Charge of DETERMINATION,

Independent coal miners in southern
Wyoming have complained to the Inter
state Commerce commission that the Union
Pacific Railroad company has refused for
three years to haul their coal on any
terms. The Union Pacific controls large
coal company with which the independents
would like to compete This is about as
strange a charge of discrimination as has
ever been made. AS rule, railroads will
do some hauling for independent producers
along their lines

West Point Republican (rep.).
The Republican is unable to see serious
objection to his candidacy. unless it be
on the score Of age. But though he has
reached the allotted age, he is, today, at
the very zenith of his mental powers. and
his friends assert with confidence that
years Of active useful citizenship are still
before him. Edward Rosewater. through
out the many years Of his journalistic &C
tivity dealt many telling blows in behalf
Of the republicans and republican principles,

upon him by the party at the close of his
useful and honorable career, It would be

In q white and starchy apron.
And a white cap on her hair.

With a rapt and thoughtful look.

The impending annual apportion-
ment of the school fund promises to
distribute a larger sum than ever be-
fore in the history of Nebraska, with
one exception. This money comes from
the investment of the permanent
school endowment and the rentals of
school lands. A large income in the
temporary school fund means that the
money has been kept fully invested
and that the rentals are being
promptly paid. For this the members
of the state board charged with the
administration of this trust have a
right to claim some credit.

with Roosevelt on Big Questions
Belden Progress GepD,

Edward ROsewater Of the Omaha Bee
has come out as candidate for United States
senator. The Progress believes he would
be a good man for the place and would re-
ceive the support Of the party II nominated.
He has spent most of his life lighting the
corporations and Is, we believe, in better
position to know what should or should not
be done than any man in the party. He
is with Roosevelt on all questions Of i'm
portance and his vote would always be for
the right. II he Is nominated he will make
good and graft will be suppressed where
il Is in his power TO suppress it, The dele
gates 70 the state convention would act
wisely in giving him the nomination.

Members of the State Board Of Pub
lie Lands and Buildings will investi-
gate personally the conditions at the
Norfolk Insane asylum, against which
complaint has been made. This is
the proper move, for not only are the
warning officials entitled to a square
deal as between one another. but the
helpless inmates of the institution
need protection against mistreatment
of every kind. The state maintains
these asylums for the benefit of af-
flicted dependents rather than for the
officials who happen to be in charge,
and that purpose must be kept con-
stantly in view by those responsible
for their management.

EDWARD ROsBwArER ron SENATOR


Valentine Republican (rep).
The Republican has stated before that
personally there is no other man whom IL
would rather see elected United states
senator from Nebraska than y. Rosewater.
The main reasons for this opinion are
plainly set forth in the announcement.
Years ago he would have been elected
United States senator had he not made
political and corporate enemies by a con-
unued and persistent effort upon corrup-
ton and domination OF corporation rule.
In the past thirty years he has been a
consistent champion Of the people in fight
ing their battle, and many times expending
much money, as well as time and energy.
without even taking a thought Of reim-
bursement The great state OF Nebraska
owes much to the influence exerted by E.
Rosewater and now will have another op-
portunity to do him honor in recognition Of
his efforts to advance the welfare Of the
whole state.
