there Is soreness down in the east end.
There is bitterness In the air and there
are threats that when the November
election rolls around, some Of the
good old republicans may swing over
to the opposite ticket in order to soak
the west end faction who tried to
steal all the nominations.
And so here we have already fact
ions created, strife aroused and the
tendency to wipe out party lines, as
result the feature of them all which
was painted by the primarys founders
as virtue Here we have sectional ire
stirred up. two factions Of the party
split In twain and threats to bolt the
ticket in November because political
trade which was down on the slate,
failed under the primary election to
go through successfully. AS result
OF the game as 1t worked out, you
couldn't convince the west enders,
who had the strength to nominate all
their own candidates, that there is
lanything good about an understand
| ing" beforehand as to where the NOM
inees shall come from. 1t Is beauti-
full theory, from the viewpoint of the
section that owns the bulk of votes,
that there should be absolute secrecy
about this nomination business, and
that no trades should prevail But
how about the east end? With trades
wiped out and with the majority Of
votes in the west end, the east enders
apparently have no chance now or for
ever of being represented on the party
ticket. For under the primary system
the section which has the numerical
strength can hog all the nominations"
and there's no getting away from 1t.
That, from the viewpoint of the cities,
Is one of the beauties of the primary
system.
The Lincoln News tells us that $50
far as Lancaster county is concerned,
the first trial of the direct primary
was an unqualified success. Lancaster
will be found to have cast a greater
percent of republican votes than any
other county"
All of which TALES with the news
from Ainsworth that the west end
"hogged the nominations" There is
no getting away from the fact that
under the primary system, the cities
which have great bulks of votes can
hog" all of the nominations on the
state tickets, and no power on earth
can counterfeit them. Lincoln and
Omaha can get together and put up a
candidate for every nomination on
both republican and democratic pri
mary tickets. Self interest will direct

parties make their marks opposite the

CROP FORECASTS PROSPERITY

CROP FORECASTS PROSPERITY.
And still comes the good word of
crop abundance and consequent as.
sured prosperity for the coming year,
General reports of the agents of the
New York Central lines from Buffalo
west to the Pacific coast and south to
the Gulf of Mexico breathe prosperity
in every line and forecast It's contnu-
auce for the next year Every summer
the traffic department of the New York
Central and other trunk lines gather
information of the business outlook
for the purpose of preparing for the
movement in the fall and winter.
The outlook, without exception, is re-
ported as bright. Fall orders already
ers indicate heavy merchandise
movement The steel industry pres
ents gratifying conditions with large
tonnage already booked and feeling
that heavier orders will be the rule
now that q good crop Is assured in
many sections.
Manufacturers generally feel that
factories will be open all winter There
is some doubt as to the last six months
of 1908 on account of the election.
Fear of short crops in the west, north
west and southwest has been removed
by favorable weather of the last few
weeks and the Improvement has put a
healthy tone into the business outlook
In the agricultural states. Wheat crops
in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and
enough threshed to form fairly accur-
ate estimate Of the yield. In Kansas
returns indicate crop of 65,000,00 as
against 10000, 900 bushels last year but
IT compares favorably with the aver
age of 55,000000 bushels for the last
ten years. The Oklahoma wheat crop
was reduced 80 per cent by bad wealth
er. Nebraska and Missouri both have
good average crops.
Reports from the spring wheat states
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa and Man
itoba indicate a 10 per cent reduction
as compared with last year, but this
may be overcome If present favorable
weather continues. The total yield
for last year was 250,OO0,O00 bushels.
The corn crop last year in Indiana
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Minnesota amounted to 1854
900 bushels, Illinois leading with 3S3,
100000 bushels. Reports this year in
dictate a good average crop, though II
will be little late. There is some dan
ger Of an early frost in more northern
sections, but reports from Kansas in
dictate a 25 per cent increase over iti
crop of 200,000,O00 bushels last year
1t is confidently asserted that th'
Nebraska crop will be large, as it ha'
matured sufficiently to overcome an!
slight unfavorable conditions.
The oats crop in Illinois, Wisconsin
Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas last yea
aggregated 466,OO0,00O bushels, Illinoi
leading with 133,O00,00O bushels, bu

tary methods to prevent yellow fever
in the south; the regulation and main
tenance of a system of national irri-
cation wherein the state and private
land owners become beneliciaries; the
national pure food law; the national
forest reserve policy; and the propos.
ed national drainage.
The presidents followers are also
pointing to last winters radical and
prejudiced legislation, enacted from
malice and without investigation, as
an argument that more progress and
saner progress would be made under
system OF uniform law-making for
interstate business, than under the
present unequal and uneven system
of state regulation.
AS an instance of this haphazard
state method, the Kansas railroad
commissions act of a few days ago
stands out a conspicuous example.
The Kansas railroad commission rea-
soned that Nebraska had twocent
fare law and Missouri, too. They argued
that conditions were the same in Kan
sas as In Nebraska and Missouri and
| that therefore they were entitled to
the reduction. SO, after investigating
the question for two weeks, they chop
ped down railroad fares thirty-three
and third percent. 1t took the Wis
consin commission eleven months to
obtain the evidence needed upon which
to base a passenger fare and then, be-
cause that fare, based on scientific
calculation, did not suit the legislators,
the state legislature threw scientific
| figures and evidence over the transom
and reduced the fares to suit itself.
The point is this Kansas figured that
it was entitled to a two-cent fare If
Nebraska was. Nebraska figured it
was entitled to this fare because it
was. And so, without going into the
question logically or reasonably, the
fare was reduced. In New York Gov
ernor Hughes vetoed such bill, de-
claring that the matter had not been
investigated thoroughly enough to
show whether the reduction was or
was not just. Nebraska did not stop
to investigate, but enacted the reduct-
ion law. Kansas followed suit, for
the sole reason that Nebraska had
done It, The whole action was the re-
suit of desire to punish the railroads
for past political sins, rather than a
desire to fix rate whose justice was
established by sound judicial reason
ing.
In time the legality of those reduct
ions, however, will be settled by the
courts. The federal supreme court
will finally determine. And the point
that President Roosevelt makes, the
point which Governor Hughes objects
ough investigation and more rationa
results would have been obtained in the
national congress than in the severa
state legislatures; and that, having
found sound basis upon which t.
work, the national congress would
! have passed laws affecting all state:
| alike instead of making rates thirty
: three and a third percent higher il
some states than in others, as has beer
the result of the unequal actions takel
, by various individual states.

Found Money in Tom Har-

.Gaffney, March 5.-Tom Har-

in his confession TO the officials
of the murder of Mrs. Hortense
Morgan, stated that he secured
from Mrs. Morgan at the time
that he killed her about one hun
dred dollars in gold, also that he
had forty dollars Of his own mon
ey. This statement was doubted
by number of the people mas
much as the gold coin was not
found when he was searched.
This morning Harris asked Sher-
iff Thomas for his clothes. The
sheriff carried the grip contain
Ing his clothes to him, and when
the sheriff opened the grip and
examined the coat he found sew
enty-fve dollars in bills loose in
the right coat pocket and ninety
dollars in gold in a tobacco sack
also $2.75 in silver.

really had the forty dollars of his
own money, which he claims to
have had before the killing.
