CUMMINS WANTS TOGA.

Governor Cummins of Iowa, who
broke his pledge and ran for third
term as governor, has done what 1t
was charged he was striving to do all
the time. He declared he was run
ming for governor because the states
interests demanded it. Now he is go
ing to forsake the state, If possible,
and, by use of his governorship as a
lever, boost himself into the United
States senate. Senator Allison of
Iowa is one of the statesmen of whom
Iowa Is proud and who is a credit
to the senate. For many years he has
rendered honorable and clean public
service. Now that he has white hairs
young Cummins would throw the old
man out and take the seat. Cummins
succeeded in preventing Iowa from en-
dorsing a resolution for Roosevelt's
third term He thought Iowa might have
facorite son named Cummins, to boos
as a dark horse for the white house
Having been both tariff revisionist'
and a "standpatter" at polite mo
ments, he considers himself a "com
promise" candidate acceptable in 1
pinch to both extremes in the repub
lican party of the nation. Success il
getting this idea circulated has givel
him faith, perhaps, that he could s.
to the senate as easily as not. Nov
and then demagogues break into tn
senate, but Cummins may have hare
er fight in Iowa for a toga than h
figured on.

UNIVERSITY TEACHERS.

The Nebraska university has corps
of educators who are famous not only
in tits country but the world over for
their work along various lines of spe-
cialization. Many of them have been
offered much higher salaries than Ne
braska can afford to pay, but there is
a loyalty about many of them to the
university at Lincoln which holds
them to the institution regardless of
monetary inducements. The time
will come when Nebraska must pay
its university teachers better salaries
If they are to be kept. During the
past year a number have left the in
stitution. And in the very losing OF
them, Nebraska ought to find com
pliment to the men who have been
steering the university ship.
A short time ago Wisconsin took
Ross. A Minnesota school took Hodg
man. And now Professor Frederic e
Clements, who is Nebraska man anC
whose botanical training has come
from DR.. Bessey, one of the most ia
nous botanists in the world, has gone
to Minnesota to become head of the
department of botany in Minnesota
university.

SOLDIER SHOULD HEAD THE LINE

Memorial day Is distinctly day for
the soldier. 1t was set aside for the
heroes who fell In defense of the stars
and stripes and 1t has been perpetual
ed by the veterans who offered their
lives, but who returned to live on for
years after the civil war. But since
the day Is one for the soldier, day
In which the nation pays tribute to
ls memory, the few remaining soldiers
should be given first place in all of
the ceremonies of the occasion. They
should be joined by the younger gen.
Grafton of civilians, but the old soldier
ought to be kept in the front rank.
In many places the old soldier has
been badly crowded out of the pro.
cesson on Memorial day. Frequently
the old soldiers are far back in the
line of march which proceeds to the
cemetery to decorate graves of the
dead. Onicials and other organizations
are not uncommonly far in the lead,
and the old soldier is left to trail in
the dust.
Perhaps there Is a rule that renders
this essential. But there ought to be
a rule placing the old soldiers at the
very head of the line, with others in
the rear. 1t is the old soldiers day
and If anybody is to lead, it ought to
be the veteran who earned position
at the head of the line
And 1t ought not TO be necessary for
the old soldiers to walk all the way
to the cemetery. There is little good
evolving from the custom of walking
for several miles which the old SOL
dlers almost always do. They have
earned rest and the day should be
made one of as much ease for them as
is possible, instead of day of eXer-
ton. Human lives are involved in the
matter, and the time is ripe when the
arrangements should be shifted.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

When Norfolks sugar factory was
dismantled and moved bodily to La
mar, Colorado, because the company
then operating the plant was unable
to secure enough beets to successfully
carry on the industry here, the i'm
preston naturally followed that in a
fertile country, where other high class
crops would flourish, the sugar beet
was unable to hold its own because
of the hard work attached to its cult
walton. That this may have been a
well founded impression, and that the
secret of the Norfolk factory failure
may have lain in the methods en-
ployed by the company which operat-
ed the plant, is apparent from the
success of the sugar factory at River
dale, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago,
where, in a country which richly sup
ports other kinds of crops, the sugar
beet has enjoyed a thrifty success.
And in the fact that the sugar beet
industry is growing instead of de-
creasng, without regard to the lower
ing of duty on sugar from Cuba, there
ought to be some encouragement to
those of Norfolk who have had, since
the old factory here was dismantled,
ambition to re-establish sugar fac
tory here which would attract sup
port from farmers of the neighbor-
hood The growing importance of the
beet industry, together with practical
demonstrations that it is not the arid
land alone which will allow the indus
try to flourish, ought to have a mean
ing of more than passing interest to
Norfolk and northern Nebraska
Last year Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture issued a
bulletin in which he stated that Nor
folk presented an excellent opportu
nifty for the establishment of beet
sugar factory. This years bulletin
shows that for the first time, beet
sugar surpasses cane sugar produced
in the United States.
The department of agriculture is ac
lively engaged in extending the beet
sugar area in the United States by
disseminating accurate information as
to the character of soil and the treat
ment required to produce the best
quality of beets, and conducting ex
periments with a view to improving
the strain of beet seed used. Their,
are now seven states with two o.
more beet sugar factories in operation
and nine with one each. The larges
production is credited to Colorado
where land cultivated by irrigation
. produces a larger yield of beets pc
acre than any other state except Utah
where also irrigation is used.

DISEASED MEAT CONTROVERSY.


With the new rule that packers have
promulgated, it becomes all the more
urgent that Nebraska and every other
state should provide for rigid local
inspection of dairy products and meat
products sold within the state. 1t is
crime against the state to allow
tuberculosis to keep on spreading into
human bodies as a result of milk and
meat from diseased cattle. And that
is what, in a measure, is now going
on and what will go on all the more
when the packers turn away, by re-
fusing to pay for them, diseased car
cases.
This country passed a rigid meat
inspection law last year. That law
was for the protection of the people
of this nation. 1t was discovered that
we were being fed diseased meat in
many instances and disease naturally
was spread into the human system.
The packers complained when the
meat inspection law went into effect.
But the public realized that it's steak
was at stake, and the law passed. The
packers argued that their profits
would suffer, but it was only fair to
expect that the consumer would pay
the freight. In the long run the con-
sumner generally pays the freight. And
meat prices adjusted themselves, no
doubt, to meet the new conditions.
Under the old order of things stock
men were paid for stock when it went
to the packers. If an animal was
found, after slaughter, to be diseased,
the packer either used the carcass for
a profit or suffered a loss 1t is fair
to assume that he sold the diseased
meat, since there never was any howl
until inspection began, about paying
! for the diseased carcass.
But the new law changed things
| Inspection by the government pre-
vented the use of diseased animals in
packing. The diseased carcass be,
came a loss to the packer. Then he
squealed.
The packer declared he would not
pay for live stock until it had been
slaughtered, and the diseased stuff sift
ed out. He wants the producer tc
stand losses on his diseased stock
And the shipper objects. He insists
that the packer ought to buy a dis
eased COW for a good one and then
finding it diseased and unavailable
pocket the loss without grumbling.
The fact that the diseased carcasse'
are of great enough quantity to raise
a row, ought to give the public som,
concern in the matter. The shippers
and commission mems stories wer,
told last week. They objected to tn,
credit system and to being compelle,
{ to accept the packers words as t
dead stock They said the packer
, would get interest on millions of do
lars not due them. They relied on tn
> lpublic's complaint, when prices shoul
go up, to force the packer to pay TO
{ the diseased animal.
: 1t ought to be apparent that tn
l public will pay for the diseased al
imal if the packer is forced to TAX
< it and lose it. He will make that los
: up in good meats sold. But if tn
!, packer refuses to pay for disease
animals, it stands to reason that di
e eased animals will stop going to ma
!. ket and that they will either be sol
e at small town markets, for consuml
e ton by small town people, or the herd
a will be cleaned up and the diseas
driven out.

U. S. STEEL In GARY.
Bugs $500 Acres at $4,000, 900 and
vii ASk Congress for Harbor.
LRr Teleeraph % rhe Trfbun..l ]

Chicago, Jan. 25.-The United States Steel
Corporation has just closed the purchase Of
$500 acres Of land in the new town Of Gary.
comprising the remainder OF what is known as
the Packer tract. for $S.000.O00.
1t is the largest purchase in connection with
tho operations of the steel corporation at that
place. and it's requirement gives the company
eight thousand acres Of land upon which to
build its industrial city. which. when completed.
1t is now believed will represent an investment
OF S75.O00.OO0.
It's requirement is the result Of the broad
ening scope of the company's plans and nego-
tiations have been under way with Armour &
Co. Swift & Co. and Morris s Co. the owners
for some time past.
The property acquired IS on both sides OF the
Calumet River. The west tract will be used for
railroad purposes, while that on the east side
comprising about 1900 acres. probably will be
used for town purposes. The ground north Of
the river in all three tracts will be used as a
site for the company's plant.
The company. il is said. may bring in the Belt
road. elevating it over the surface tracks. and
also the Indiana Harbor Railroad. The Calumet
River which runs in tortuous course. Is to be
Strengthened and other extensive public works
undertaken. including a harbor for which Con-
gross will be asked for an appropriation.
The Packer tract was acquired in 1891, when
IL given out that owing 20 the unsatisT G
tory attitude OF the roads the packing firms In
terested would move their plants to the nes
site. Satisfactory arrangements subsequently
were made with the roads. however. and the
moving never took place.

the new town It is said that the schlitz Brewing
Company recently paid $4,000 for ffty-fooi
