stock has been subscribed already to
make the gentlemen in charge san
guine of success in a shorter time
than they had dared to hope for when
they started.
Naturally enough some opposition
to the location of a brewery in Lin
coin has made itself manifest, but
this opposition is not as great as
some might imagine. As a rule the
people are considering 1t from pure
1y business standpoint, which is rea-
sonable and just.
The erection of a brewery in Lin
coin would not mean the consumption
of more beer in Lincoln, but it would
mean an increased market; for labor
and grain, and q consequent enlarge
ment of the pay rolls of the COM
munity. That would mean more bust
ness for the merchants, more taxpay-
ers and more building in Lincoln. It
looks like good business proposition
all around.

AN OLD EXCUSE.

When a man wants to find an eX-
cuse for not doing what he knows to
be his duty, he seldom has any diff
ficulty in mastering one that satisfies
him.
the need of Labor Temple, and every
union man knows, deep down in his
heart, that he ought to have a part
in building one. But there are some
happily few in numbers but unfortun-
ately loud of lung-who want some ex-
cuse for not helping, and they have
provided them.
One refuses to take hold because
he does not like some man who is
actively engaged in furthering the pro-
ject. s..
Another refuses to take hold be.
cause he just knows somebody viii!
graft
Another refuses because he does not
like the plans adopted.
Another refuses because ne was not
personally consulted before definite
action was taken.
All these things are put forward as
excuses. In a majority of cases the
excuse is not sincere and is put for
ward to hide the real reason-and
the real reason is that the man max
ing them is unwilling to make sacri-
fees with his comrades, although
eager to participate in the benefits

And another thing that would be
funny were it not pathetic is the bull
letin's estimate that the average ex-
penditure for rent per annum is $99.49,
or $3.50 per month. What do the
wage earners of Lincoln think about
it? Are they paying an average of
only $3.50 a month for house rent?
Is it not fact that the average is
more than so per cent greater than
the estimate of the government sta
tisticians? According to the bulletin
the item of rent represents less than
Ii per cent of the total expenditure.
Social economists whose knowledge is
not confined to desk investigation are
practically a unit in declaring tina.
the item of rent amounts to more than
% per cent of the total expenditure
of the average family.
One has but to thumb the pages OF
the bulletin and compare its statistics
with his own experience to demon
strate beyond preadventure that the
bulletins statistics are absolutely I'M
reliable, and that the whole thing is
the very quinessence of statistical
tommyrot.

NATIONAL

One of the dearest privileges of a
class of European agitators and ad-
venturers was abrogated by the last
congress. It has been the habit of GER
tain foreigners to visit the United
States long enough to take out natur-
alization papers, then to go abroad to
reside permanently. Usually they en-
gage in operations of q character cal
culated to embroil them with the au-
thorities, in which event they call
upon the land of their adoption for pro-
lection. Uncle Sam has had no end of
trouble over such people, some of the
cases involving considerable expense
and risk. The kidnapping of Perdicaris
was a case in point. The new law pro-
vides that an American who goes
abroad and resides for five years shall
be presumed to have abandoned his
citizenship. Had this law been in ef-
feet In 1904 the whole navy would not
have been set in motion and war with
Morocco threatened because of Rails

worth while for foreigners to adopt

Young People on the Farm.

If the young people on the farm
are discontentcd, says the American
Farmer, would it not be wise to in
vcstigatc the case? If there is dull
ness and lethargy there is something
wrong. A morbid disposition kills
every JOY, and it should be combated
at once. Morbidncss is infectious,
and its contagion is evil. 1t is a duty
we oWe to ourselves and friends to
be cheerful, and the cheerful mood
is also contagious.
Our young people on the farm can,
and they should cultivate cheerful
ness, s~elf-control and serenity. The
blues are notcommendable. Things
will happen to annoy us, but we can
keep our voices low and our faces
pleasant. We achieve something
worth while every time we repress in
speech, tones and gestures and ex-
preston, irritation, impaticnce and
i'll temper.
Our young people on the farm
should be thoroughly interested and
alive in all that is going on. We must
keep OF climbing the mountain side;
we can not stay where we are, and
We must not fall back. Advancement
must be made, and our interest should
be SO great there will be no room for
morbidness. If we cease to grow we
cease to live.
Our young people will not suffer
from the blues if they read good,
strong books, if they study with
carnestness the preparatory course
for their life work, if they keep up
their music or anything else in which
they are interested and have some
thing to talk of beyond the gossip of
the neighborhood and the mere friv-
olitics of life.
All of our young men and women
should have a practical work to do,
and then some skill of the hands or
some fad to fill in the old moments.
Many of our girls like the needle, and
beautiful pieces of embroidery have
grown, little by little, using the frag-
mcnts of time.
We must live outside Of ourselves.
make self worth something to the
people around US, and this will give
us a large interest beyond self; with
the other young people, enlist in a
cause that will help the world. If YOU
DO this, it is not likely that you will
often be very moody or depressed
