The legs are mortised into the shaft or

about three inches from the ground
and the rear ones securely braced, as
shown in the cut.
If desired the sides may be built
from the floor solid and straight up,

slip on for use in handling bulky stuff.
Heavy material, such as bags Of

handled with this type of barrow, as
they may be loaded between the

MR.. SHAWS oPTrM ISM.

While former Secretary Leslie M.
Shaw is now located in business In New
York, he still keeps his feet west of the
Alleghenies and refuses to be STAN
peded every time some high flnancier
on Wall street has a nightmare. He
knows the west and its resources. At a
banquet of the Oswego society in New
York the other night the state of the
nation was the general topic for dis
cussion. Other speakers dwelt upon
the dangers threatening the country
through the fall of stocks and the I'M
certainty that prevailed in the market
for speculative securities. The resultant
gloom was spelling the flavor of the
dinner, when Mr.. Shaw came to the
rescue and assured his fellow banquet
ers that "our prosperity rests on a surer
foundation than stock market quota
lions. Look to the crops"
The former secretary of the treasury
understands fully the relation between
bountiful crops and national prosperity.
He realizes that 1t is the crops to which
the country must look for its signal of
danger. He knows from experience
that a year OF bad crops reduces the
purchasing power of the farmer, who
constitutes 40 per cent of the popula-
ton, affects domestic trade in manu-
features. reduces revenues of transpor-
tation companies, limits the sales and
profits of merchants and bankers. de-
creases our exports and affects every
line of activity. Every citizen suffers
by poor crops, while stock market de-
preston causes loss only to those who
deal in profits on paper-profits that
for the most part are illegitimate.
It is yet too early to estimate intel
ligently what the coming crop will be.
Winter wheat is reported to be in
splendid condition in all the wheat
growing states and climatic and soil
conditions, so we'll as can be known at
this season, we're never more favorable
for the coming seed time. The public
will not be seriously concerned about
Wall streets fears so long as no other
signs appear.

liam Randolph Hearst and his newspa-
per and political methods. Mr. Hearst
came from New York with a stan Of
editors and artists and opened a char
acteristic campaign Of vilifcation and
abuse, In which the other papers Of the
city foolishly Joined. SO bitter did the
campaign OF personalities become that
the issue OF the contest was apparently
lost sight OF, but the voters thought
differently. as shown by their verdict
on the traction question. The Hearst
method succeeded no better in Chicago
than It has in New York. Allied with
the rebuke of Hearstism is the decrease
by so per cent in the socialist vote, to
which Mr.. Hearst made a special APP
peal.
While the election had no great ma
tional political significance, the action

TIE BREWERY BILL.


The Bee does not hesitate to say
that it is not in accord with the
measure which proposes to prevent
brewers and manufacturers of liquor
from having any interest in any place
licensed to sell liquor at retail. The
ostensible excuse for this bill Is that
the divorce of the manufacturer from
the retail business will elevate the
character of the retail trade and give
a better and more responsible class of
saloon keepers.
Basing observations on conditions
in Omaha and South Omaha alone, no
unbiased person will contend that the
character of the saloon keepers Ii
censed here today is lower than It was
ten years ago, before the brewery in
terests we're identified with the retail
business. On the contrary, the aver
age of the licensed saloon keepers In
Omaha today is without question
higher in point of reliability, RESPONSE
bility and decency than 1t was ten
years ago.
The Slocumb law, as It now stands,
vests the excise board with absolute
power to grant or refuse liquor IL
censes. Such licenses may be issued
only upon petition signed by resident
freeholders, setting forth that the ap-
plicant is "a man of respectable char
acter and standing" 1t is, therefore,
entirely within the province Of the ex-
else board to refuse a license to any
irresponsible or disreputable applicant
whether backed by brewer or appear
ing in his own individual behalf
whether renting his place or owning
1t outright. We do not see how the
proposed divorce of the brewers and
manufacturers of liquor from the re-
tail business can be made effective, nor
how, II 1t could be made effective. 1t
would materially improve the condi-
lions of the liquor traffic.

4 WORD as 70 sENAToR SHELLEY.

Il WORD AZ III bHNAIOH SlbIfb4s
A desire to be perfectly fair prompts
a word as to Senator sibley in correc-
ton of any false Impression that may
prevail as a result of his attitude on
the terminal tax bill. The fact that
Senator Sibley offered an amendment
to the bill when it was pending in the
senate, for which all the railroad CO.
horts lined up, has placed Mr.. Sibley's
name in company where 1t does not
belong.
II is only fair to Senator Sibley to
say that he was one of the first to sub
scribe to the republican platform
pledges, urging not only that every
promise be kept, but that the platform
bills should have precedence over
other measures. In December, a
month before the legislature convened,
Senator sibley addressed a letter to
The Bee. which was commented upon
editorially at the time. In which he
suggested that the governor. attorney
general and chairman of the state
committee draw the platform bills and
specifically mentioned the terminal
tax bill among the others.
Senator Sibley's objection to the
terminal tax bill as originally intro
duced in the senate was directed at
the method OF assessing the franchise,
and when he was assured that this
was to be changed in the house he
voted for the bill upon its passage,
and after the house amendment was
incorporated he worked actively to Sc
cure its endorsement in its final stages.
This explanation is due to Senator
sibley in order that he may be placed
right before his constituents.

EuAauelphld It6aS.
The farms OF the United States are
worth, according to the latest official es-
innate, S2s.OOOOO 10000 The combined value
OF all the railroad stocks and bonds and
the securities OF Industrial plants is only
about three-fourths as great as that OF the
farms, There have been many times In the
past when the man who raises wheat and
corn, oats and hay was badly hit. Indeed
the blows were quite as severe as that
which has in the year 1907 fallen upon the
owners of securities.
When farm products fell to prices so low
that there was nothing but loss for the
farmer there was no especial cry from the
capital" interests TO help matters. When
the value OF farms for one reason or an
other was not equal to the mortgages put
upon them there were likewise no wild de-
mands for legislation, that is TO say, none
from the great centers Of population
Now that the farmers are prosperous as
never before, while the railroad magnate
and his high flyers in finance are woefully
pinched, the boot is on the other foot
Those whose sole welfare seems to center
in the stock exchanges wonder why the
rest Of the people are not walking the moor
at nights thinking up plaRs TO stem finan-
cial disaster.
Wall street Is OF all places the most self
sufhcient. When It is happy It forgets that
there can possibly be misery anywhere
else. But when II happens that. as now
Il Is extremely miserable il is louder IN its
cries for help than were the stricken wes-
tern matters In the worst years OF the
