THE GOVERNORS POSITION.

Wednesday morning the new two
cent passenger fare law, just enacted
by the Nebraska legislature, will be-
come effective. Whether or not we
shall be able to buy>a ticket at two
cents mile remains to be seen. The
law will go into effect without the sig
nature of Governor Sheldon, but it will
not be blocked by his veto. Several
interesting points will be watched in
connection with the new law by the
public.
Governor Sheldon takes the position
that the law had no business to be en-.
acted by the egislature-that the
regulation of rates on railways had
been expressly and constitutionally
delegated to the new railroad COM
mission, and that for the legislature
to take into its own hands the matter
of thus reducing a passenger rate was
usurping some of the rights that had
been turned over to a commission
created for that purpose And because
he does not believe that the legislature
should have passed the law, Governor
Sheldon refused to sign the bill.
On the other had he did not veto it.
He took the position in this respect
that many of the Legislators had voted
for the bill not because they believed
il tho thinu IN do not looo,,o ~ Il
business judgment told them that this
was the sane way of going at the
matter, not because they believed that
1t was the fair thing TO do without
investigating thoroughly, but purely
and simply because a wave of popular
sentiment q, then and tIoy
lacked the courage to get out of rs
way. The governor believes that

UNION DEPOT ACCEPTABLE.

The point brought up by Norfolk
man with regard to a union depot in
this city, to the effect that concontra-
tion of station work would reduce the
number of families here, IL Offset by
the many arguments that could be
brought In favor of such an institution.
Aud IL Is doubtful If very great re-
duction in force would result, since
the added business would require more
than enough men to handle one station
ut present.
But union depot would mean much
to the city in other ways. 1t would
bring people into the city at an invlt-
Ing center and the union station would
be enough OF an advertisement, In IT,
self SO far as the travelling public's
eyes are concerned, to Offset the re-.
duction In force A handsome union
depot, presenting n creditable picture
to new arrivals, would give the first
impression to the outside world, and
they tell us that first impressions are
lasting ones.
Again, union station would bring
people into the city at n point conve.
nient to Norfolk's business interests,
so that, by the time saved over former
long transfers, the business houses
would be visited and would get a ben
eft every day of the year.
With union station up town, con.
venient to the city, more people would
feel like visiting Norfolk, AS 1t now
is, people from the main line of the
Northwestern dislike to start out on
the journey because they know that
as much time will be taken in getting
up town as is required in getting to
Norfolk.
All in all, Norfolk would take a un.
ion depot without much protest, If it
were offered as Christmas gift

THE REDSKINS INTERESTS.

THE REDSKINS INTERES
Some of the nations preserves down
east, near the strip of land now worth
billions as the center of Gotham but
bought for $2i from the redskins In
years agone, have been greatly worried
lest the white settler should come out
here and settle up Trip county's mill
ion acres as they ought to be settled,
| without giving poor Lo silver coins
enough to spend for a good sized jag,
They consider Sc too small price
to pay for an acre of the unbroken
prairie and point to the value of
Gregory county farms today, after the
hand OF civilization has turned 1t into
productiveness, as argument against
the lottery which is, with President
Roosevelt's official sanction, to be
pulled off in these parts about year
from now.
Lands worth $40 an acre out In the
desert have been converted, by irrlga-
ton, into lands worth several hundred
dollars an acre. But 1t took brains
and toll and science to wave the
magic wand that brought about the
change.
Lands in Trip county may be worth
more than they will cost the settlers.
The Sioux wanted 500 per acre for
them But the nations reformers
down east should remember that the
men who go out on these acres, have
20 build their homes and till the
soil and earn those lands If ever
homesteader did earn his land There
is no charity business about this lot
terry game as 1t is worked in the Rose
bud drawings. A man surely gets his
moneys worth in land, but he has to
give his time and his labor to the gov
eminent in return.
These lands are worth little to the
reds as they stand today. 1t will re-
quire white hands to put dollars into
these prairies. 1t is the duty of the
government to open up these lands
that the citizens of this country, ever
seeking new homes, may be given OPP
portunities to earn homesteads. 1t
is the governments duty to cultivate
the virgin prairies up in Trip county
and make them help do their share
toward producing the worlds break
fast. There Is only one way in which
this can be done-and that is to throw
open the lands at prices which will
attract white men from their already
comfortable homes and lead them off
into the frontier to help do the work
that the pioneers always have to do
for the generations that follow.
The Indians are the nations wards.
Dollars mean little to them, and ought
to mean little. They are entitled to
homes and comforts and their livings.
This is owed to them whether the
government sells their lands for high
or low prices.
The government is not harming the
red man in the transaction, for he
must be cared for in any event. Open
ing these lands to settlement at fair
figures, on the other hand, will be
performing proper service to man
kind.
The Outlook and others ought not to
waste their tears over problems that
are being cared for with the white
man just as fairly treated as his cop
per colored cousin.

PARTY ORGANIZATION.

Deserted and ignored by radicals
chiefs and his close supporters and
helpers, Governor George l.. Sheldon
of Nebraska, solid and cool headed,
has refused to abandon the principles
which he advocated in his campaign
speeches and which were placed into
the republican platform for him and
Others of the party to stand upon. And

and democrats to fight against their

To such an extent have some of the
self styled apostles of reform gone in
their madness that the democrats of
the state are already said to be laugh
ing up their sleeves at the trap which
worked so well. And, after the legis,

by those who have kept their fingers
on the pulse of parties, that the demo

their plans to further disrupt repub-

admission, they condemned themselves
as traitors to the republicanism that
chose Mr.. Sheldon as its leader. And
the very stability of the governor
forced them to admit that he was right
and that they had been guilty of de-
sertion.
There is grave need of watching
party organization at this time. In
spite of the popular cry, largely pro

party organization is no longer needed,
it remains fact that nobody has yet

AT Moscow Idaho on last Tues

cause.

tee says: Ever since work
commenced on this building it
has been one continual misunder-

Our first strike was for wages

due for wages and men with
