Has Learned Nothing.

Mr.. Cleveland thinks the Tariff
should be the great issue for
the Democrats to bring to the
front next year. The ex-Presi-
dent is 20 years Cd. He lives in
the past and has learned nothing
since he left the White House.
He imagines that the issues that
interested him then are still
alive and that people are think.
ing now pretty much as they
thought then. That was long
ago. A great deal has happened
since, but Mr.. Cleveland has had
no hand in it and thinks the
country should get back and take
up the work where he left it.
Both Bryan and Hearst have
come to the front since Mr..
Cleveland's time, but he scarcely
recognizes them, though they
represent ten Democrats where
he represents one. Grover is an
excellent fisherman on a pond,
where he can get good seat,
but not much in quick water,
where he has to wade.

He Paid For Ii!

We received a letter this week
from some subscriber signed,
"a Farmer" who tells OF a
neighbor of his who lost the rod
from the end-gate of his wagon
and sent to a mail order house
for a new one. The mail order
house charged rs cents for the
rod and the farmer paid IS cents
express. Our local dealers sell
the rod at Is cents, and now the
man who lost the rod is trying
to figure out how much money
he saved by buying of the mail
order house. We wish few
more of our farmers friends would
study on this question and let us
know where the profit comes in.

, AS corporations are compelled,
from time to time, to advance the
wages paid their employees be-
cause of the high cost of living,
there is tendency on the part
of some states to increase the
salaries paid its officials. 1t is a
notorious fact that state officers
free from all forms of graft
are cheap affairs. Many men
spend as much or more than their
entire salary in campaign *
penses. Only men of wealth can
afford to become candidates for
some Offices. A great state
should not be persimonious in
paying its hired help-even if in
creased salaries would increase
the number of candidats.

Rankin lntervied in X. E.

The Kansas City Telegram of
the 4th contained the following:
p. w. Rankin, of Broken Bow,
Neb., who owns a cattle ranch
near Deming, N. M, stopped off
here while on his way to the
ranch. Mr.. Rankin has lived up
in Custer county for a quarter of
century. He notes many
changes in that part of Nebras-
ka. Zone thing is certain" he
said, "the cattle feeding belt is
fast extending toward the West.
A few years ago no cattle feed
ing was done outside of = few
counties in the east end of the
state. Now Custer county feeds
about as many cattle as any other
county. There is a reason for
this Western cattle feeding. 1t
is the cheap feed. We have the
corn and alfalfa in abundance,
and there is where cattle feeding
can be done at a less cost Gus
ter county was on the frontier a
few years ago. Now farms that
bring $50 an acre are very COM
mon. We can raise hogs at a
less cost, and feed cattle cheaper
out there now than either can be
produced in Iowa or any other
state east of the Missouri. And
| believe that this increase in
cattle feeding and hog raising
will move on still farther west"

lovely costume of light blue
taffeta silk, jumper style, with
white silk waist, trimmed in val
lace and insertion.
After the ceremony and con-
gratulations, we were invited 10

was simply loaded with good
things to eat and only those who
have eaten of Mrs. Galpin's cook
ing can understand how the
feast was relished. The groom
goes at once to Manhattan, Kas.,

The situation in the tobacco
growing districts of Tennessee
and Kentucky is becon ing more
acute The damage of the
"nig hit riders" to the property Of
tue men not members by the
tobacco growers organization
has reached enormous sums.
During the winter the warehouses
and their contents were burned
and this spring the plant beds
have been destroyed. The VIC
Tins are those who, for one
reason or another, refuse to join
with the organized growers.
The cause of the present des-
perate action was the high
handed methods of the tobacco
trust which ground the growers
down until they were forced to
accept any price offered for their
crops and often had to wait for
months before the crop could be
sold. Finally, in retaliation,
the farmers organized and are
now carrying on their warfare
against other growers. They
want to force the trust to pay
better prices and to buy on salts
factory terms as to time. The
sympathy of the country is so
unanimously with the might
riders" that convictions are i'm
possible. The present conditions
are lawless to the extreme but
they were created by the unjust
methods of the gigantic trust.

If farm laborers become much
scarcer it may be expected that
when one arrives in the state he
will be met at the depot by a
farmer with carriage and driven
to the rural precincts where he
will occupy the guests chamber.
At the table all the delacacies of
the season will be spread before
the h. M, and occasionally
when he feels like it-he will be
perpitted to exercise himself
doing manual labor stunts at a
salary that will make bank presi-
dents envious.

1t is surprising that bankers,
who have so much at stake,
would permit such loose methods
that employees could get away
with large sums so frequently.
The creation OF private bank
examine or inspector, to do the
work every day or every week,
that the public examiners do,
might help some. The salary of
such an official could easily be
saved-if shortages and defalca-
tions can thus be prevented.

The American Railway asso-
citation is after the manufacturers
of steel rails, claiming that the
present output is of poor quality,
likely to break under the weight
of heavy passenger engines
travelling at high rate of speed,
endangering life and property.
The reports of defective rails, as
the cause of wrecks, are remark
ably frequent. The manufac ur-
ers are rushing their work too
rapidly and are thus not exercis-
ing the necessary care il regi I'd
to the quality of material they
sell.

Since the State Junior Normal

or if you will take boarders dur
ing the Junior Normal, please
leave your name, address, and all
necessary information, at the
office of the county superintend-

Secretary Taft will engage in
no unseemly scrap with Senator
Foraker for the Ohio delegation
to the National convention. He
will continue in the performance
of his duties and if Ohio wants
to indorse him the secretary will
appreciate the honor. If, how
ever, the Buckeye voters prefer
Foraker, Taft is not the man to
weep over his misfortune.

There is growing opposition
among experienced educators
against girls domitories at the
big institutions of learning. Re-

proven satisfactory. In some
the scandals developed have been
OF most unsavory nature, though
generally suppressed for the good
name of the girls involved and
the educational institutions.

and Increase the term, the way would
be blazed for once more increasing
the salaries because, with long term
ahead 1t wouldn't really make much
difference whether they were reflect
ed or not. One small congressional
term, at an increased wage, might then
satisfy the appetite of the ordinary
mortal and feather his nest besides.
1t is no doubt true that $4,000 is
not more in Washington for con.
gresham than $500 would be for an
ordinary citizen in a country town. 1t
Is no doubt true that the salary of
So, 1000 was too small to be in keeping
with the dignity of the position. This
government can afford to pay its law
makers decently.
But congress ought not to run such
bluff and then want it's money refund
ed. 1t ought to treat the masses with
more sincerity. Congress, in fact,
ought to be ashamed of itself for the
way it has acted in this salary-increase
business.

VACCINATIONS.

Down in Omaha the other day n
chorus girl broke out with the small
pox and the entire theatrical company
was compelled to be vaccinated. FL
bert Hubbard has just written some
things about vaccination that the show
company In question did not read.
Gilbert Hubbard says that vaccina-
ton is the result of an old old preju-
dice based upon grossest ignorance
and that It is all wrong. He declares
that girl away back in the dust-cov-
cred years, once contracted certain
sore upon her hands from milking n
COW. The sore had come from the
animal. There was smallpox In the
town and this girl failed to get It.
Somebody set up the claim that this
sore of hers acted as n preventive.
Experiments were made and those on
whom sores from the diseased COW
were introduced, walked past houses
that were quarantined and. not be
coming stricken, were declared i'm
mune. The myth grew, Hubbard says,
until 1t was taught in our schools and
we passed laws compelling people to
submit to the introduction of diseased
COW sores as an immunity bath against
smallpox. Ebert Hubbard says that
many become permanently diseased as
result. He tells of one doctor who
vaccinated little girl three years ago.
The sores are upon her still and the
physician, so Ebert Hubbard says,
now admits that she will die at the
age OF about sixteen of tuberculosis
resulting from this vaccination. This
particular physician will never vacci-
nate another child.
Ebert Hubbard is editor of mag
azine Of protest. II he had been writ
ing for the dramatic papers that COM
pany of actors in Omaha would not
have been vaccinated the other day.

One of the results of government
ownership of railways, which would be
sure to become prominent In this coun-
try, Is now to be seen In Germany
Socialists are trying to carry the cleo
ton because of the kaisers colonial
policy in Africa. Railway employees
and the railways are owned by the gov
ernment-have been in the habit OF
distributing socialistic literature. The
government has ordered that this
cease. In other words, the party In
power has the railway employees under
it's thumb, which would be no mean
consideration here where there are
over u million employees on railways.
The party once installed could never
be ousted, regardless Of Its admins
tration.

THE "DIPSO" LAW.

Down at Lincoln bill has been in
troduced into the legislature providing
for the repeal of the law which allows
dipsomaniacs to be placed in the state
insane asylum for treatment The law
has been operative for about two
years Up in South Dakota they have
just introduced a law providing for
the establishment at Mitchell of an
asylum for this very purpose. At
Rochester, Mimi, there is a state in
sane asylum where inebriates have
been sent for years. The Nebraska
legislature ought to very carefully in
vestigate the matter before that law
is withdrawn.
There are now from Madison county
about dozen patients who have gone
under the provisions Of the law. One
man has come back to Norfolk who
took treatment and from a frightful
being before he went he has come to
be a pretty respectable citizen; he
used to abuse his family and now he
is good to them.
There are certain percentage Of
