LOOK AHEAD

The legislature Of Nebraska has
reached a point where every member
Of the republican majority, which "
charged with the responsibility for the
measures II enacts or fails to enact,
should look ahead
II is useless TO attempt 10 disguiss
the fact that the work OF the present
legislature will be an important and In
eli probability deciding factor in the
election that will determine whether
or not Nebraska shall be IN the repub-
lican column when the next president
comes to be chosen.
Passing by the election, this year
which because Of its comparative un-
Importance will have small significance.
the real fight will be to re-elect Gov
ernor Sheldon two years hence and to
cast Nebraska's electoral vote for the
republican presidential nominee.
/. Unless conditions change materially
the leadership Of the opposition will be
centered in none other than William ].
Bryan. and II will devolve upon Gov
ernor Sheldon by his personality and
by the record of achievement of him
elf and Of the present Nebraska legis-
lature to convince the people of this
state that II is their duty and to their
interest to remain loyal to the repub-
lican principles and republican candi-
dates.
II Governor Sheldon can come before
the people and say to them, Here is
what we promised" and Here is our
fulnllment Of those promises" success
will be assured. If he is compelled to
appeal for popular support over leg

regarded pledges. It will be dificult for
him, or for any other republican in any
way responsible. to secure a renewed

II should be remembered. too, that
the Importance OF the situation in front
of us far transcends the question of re-
publican supremacy in Nebraska. The
election Of the next president of the
United States may turn upon the votes
OF Nebraska's members of the electoral
college and the election of democratic
president would mean the transfer Of
the whole executive branch Of the fed
eral government to democratic hands,
with consequences incalculable and
far-reaching.
II rests with the republican legisla-
tuSe to say whether the campaign of
1908 shall be reasonably safe sailing
or whether the party shall be loaded
down with an extra hazardous risk that
will make the outcome doubtful. II not

Preliminary bulletins Of the census
department on the value Of farm lands
in America show an increase in the
first six years of the present century
that is simply beyond comprehension,
even in these prosperous times, when
millions and billions are words that
roll trippingly from the tongue and
figure prominently in tables showing
the nations development in different
lines. The bulletin estimates the
value of American farms on December
81. 1906, at $2s, 1000 ,O00. 200, an In
CT tease. of more than $1,000, 900, 900
since 1900. The best estimates of the
total aggregate wealth of the nation,
with the beginning of 1907, Is about
s125, 900, 900. 900. On this basis the
farm lands of the country represent a
strong one-flfth of the total national
wealth. not counting the farm prod
ucts, stock and other equipment that
make total almost equal TO the value
of the real estate.
Compared with the mere advance in
value of farm lands in six years,
$1,000, 900, 900, the other transactions
and wealth showings in various lines
seem really puny. The entire capital
of all the national banks in the coun-
try is less than one-eighth the sum
represented by the increased value of
American farms. The increase is ex-
ceeded only by the capitalization of the
American railroads, including watered
stock and the enlargements due to
modern methods Of railroad financier-
ing. Even at that. the increase in
farm values for six years amounts to
more than go per cent of the over
capitalized railroads of the country.
The value of the American farms Is
about equal to the total of governmen-
tai expenditures for all purposes since
the establishment OF the republic.
While the increase in farm values
for the last six-year period has been
remarkable, the record will doubtless
be surpassed in the future. Farming
is rapidly being reduced to a science.
Old-time methods Of robbing and i'm
poverishing the soil have been aban-
doned and succeeded by intelligent
management which is resulting in IN
creased productiveness each year,
without injury to the soil. Farm work
under the new conditions has lost Its
terror and become one of the most
attractive fields of human 'endeavor
The old-time worry about the young
men leaving the farm for work in the
cities has lost its charm. Statistics
show that there has been a constant
and rapid increase in the farm popula-
ton, from 10,437.OO0 in 1900 to more
than 100000 in 1905. The man
whose future prosperity is apparently
assured is the American farmer and
owner of American farm lands.

Mr.. e. H. Hartman has made dis
covery that viii give surprise to GER
tain senators of the United States. He
says, in an interview. that President
Roosevelt needs mental discipline and
that he is capable of doing great
things If there were mere fixity Of
purpose" Admitting that President
Roosevelt is highly impulsive, that he
inaugurates movements that he does
not press to conclusion, and that in
few rare instances he has apparently
retreated from or abandoned positions
taken on more or less important ques-
lions, the record of his FIVE and a half
years in the White House and his, pub
lie service in other capacities fails to
reveal any lack of that desired ''fixity
of purpose in the championship of
policies to which he has been COM
mitted
AS police commissioner of New
York Mr.. Roosevelt exhibited a fixity
OF purpose that established number
of desirable reforms in the police sys-
tenn of the metropolis and made him
highly unpopular with the machine re-
publicans Of the city and state. AS
assistant secretary of the navy he
showed hxity of purpose strong
enough to cut red tape that sur
rounded the ways and means OF MAX
ing provision for the war with SPAIN
He displayed some fixity of purpose,
generally recognized, at San Juan and
on other Cuban battlefelds. As gov
ernor OF New York, his fxity of pur-
pose so annoyed the ringleaders OF the
republican machine that Senator Plat
forced the vice presidential nominal
ton upon him to sget rid of him."
When he became president he found
senate openly hostile TO him on
many issues, Senators OF both par
ties were against him on the creation
OF the army general stan bill, the Gu

The railroad managers are playing with

but II IL always dangerous TO put up such
bluffs as Mr.. Hill recently attempted.
There is always a disposition to take
prominent men seriously. and when they
say that capitalists are showing disposi-
ton to pull In their horns. many are ready
to act on the hint who would not other
wise have thought OF doing 30. Mr.. HiIl

really afraid that the legitimate business
done by the railroads of the country will
be interfered with. They know that the

the only thing connected with railroading
that IL menaced is the improper manipula-
ton of the securities and properties of the
great transportation companies. Their pro-
test is against any interference whatever.
When they find II unavailing they will go
on and run their roads and get reasonable
