Reports from the various
county conventions over the state
which have instructed delegates
to make it certain that at the
state convention on the 18th the
Nebraska delegation to the re-
publican national convention will
be instructed for Taft. There
are OPS delegates to the Republi-
can convention. 1t takes 463 to
ensure an endorsement. Already
65S delegates have been Sc lected.
Of these Sol are instructed for
Taft, 66 for Roosevelt and there
are 3 uninstructed and scatter
ing. So far as it is known, La
Toilette has not secured a single
instructed delegate to the state
convention.

The money that is pouring into

for the particular purpose OF
arousing the activity of republi-
can politicians and encouraging
them to work up contests in dele
cations to the national conven-

but one ending at Chicago and

take place at the morgue of dis
gruntled desire and disappointed
hope instead of in the hall of the

There is one thing that de-
cidedly provokes the newspaper
man, and that is the tendency of
some people to make the paper
pull chesnuts out of the fire for
the benfit of someone else. The
newspaper is expected to advocate
everything for the good of its
home town; TO censure preachers
for not making the people do as
they should, and it must carefully
eradicate many facts from its re-
port so that the "story" will be
tame enough to be allowed entry
to the home. 1t must spur up
officials to do their sworn duty
and condemn prominent men for
doing things which others deem
are prejudicial to the healthy
growth of the home town. Few
stop to realize how many enemies
such course may make for the
publisher one thing they shrink
from doing themselves. 1t is the
constant recurrence of things
like this which makes the average
newspaper man sour on all hui
mainly. "He wants." as a friend
of the writer once remarked "to
get where he can look into the
kindly eyes of the cows who
never deceived man"

1t is inveritably the case that
the adoption of violence as a
means to the attainment of a
private end, results in greater
loss than it can gain. 1t is for
that very reason that violence is
suppress sed by organized society.
In the case of the tobacco growers
of Kentucky it has been possible
to bring the truth home with
unusual clearness by the test of
the imediately proximate facts.
Not only has not particle of
benefit resulted from their night
rulings and acts of intimidation,
but the converse has actually
happened. The tobacco market
is virtually ruined for months to
come and the growers are i'm
poverished and disheartened.

The government Of the United
States is annually spending large
sums of money and going to
much pains of investigation and
experiment in laudable efforts to
improve the breeds of horses,
cattle, swine, sheep and poultry,
and to increase the fertility of
the soil and the quality and
quantity of its grains and vege-
tables, 1t is also doing a great
deal and expanding much to anne
liorate the condition of the poor
and dependent; to relieve the
suffering of the sick and the dis
tressed; to stamp out disease and
to educate the people to a sense
of right, healthful and optimistic
living. Contrasted with some of
the older countries of Europe,
the American states are justly
coming to be regarded as a verit-
able Eutopia of temperance, of
industry, of practical and progress
sive ideas in respect to educa-
tional standards and of civic
virtue, and yet, it is the common
experience of every day life that
the strident voices of critics are
heard in denunciation and the
bandying of drivel touching some
or all of these subjects.

Second Homestead
Entry Allowed.
Homestead Right Forfeited by Re-
linquishment, Abandonment or
Contest, May File Again.

The second Homestead bill has
become a law. 1t provides relief
for all who, for any legitimate
reason, were unable to establish
residence or make proof on their
former homestead entries and re-
linquished or abandoned their
claims before Feb. 8, 1908, with
out securing therefor a valuable
consideration.
The law which was approved
Feb. 8, 1908, is as follows:
"Be it enacted by the senate
and house of representatives of
the United States of America in
Congress assembled, that any
person who, prior to the passage
of this act, has made entry un-
der the homestead laws, but from
any cause has lost, forfeited or
abandoned the same, shall be
entitled to the benefits of the
homestead law as though such
former entry had not been made
and any person applying for a
second homestead under this act
shall furnish the description and
date of his former entry; provid-
ed that the provisions of this act
shall not apply to any person
whose former entry was Cancelled
for fraud or who relinquished the
former entry for valuable con-
Sideration.

1t may be that too much sport
is made of John ID. Rockefeller,
and that there is too much abuse
of the great corporation he has
built up. He is man of great
commercial genius and has built
up a wonderful industry, en-
ployiug thousands of people, and
at the same time cheapened the
product, but it is the methods
that have been used to stamp out
all competition, unfairly, avail
ing itself of all sorts of rebates,
getting just as near the edge of
the law as possible, and acts of
this nature, which have turned
sympathy into hatred and made
it so that every mans hand is
turned against this giant concern.

Cities-especially large cities
are not such ideal places for the
average workingman as many
wage-earners have been misled
into believing. Work on the
farm or in the smaller towns is
better paying and so far superior
in point of healthfulness as to
make comparisons almost beyond
the capacity of average under
standing.

Political, social and business
pressure-greater than has ever

been brought to bear upon the

in the attempt 10 stay the hand
of prosecution in respect to those
who ought not to go unwhipped
of justice, but all such appeals
have fallen upon ears deaf to
arguments founded upon senti-

1t appears that the liquor
dealers associations throughout
the country are endeavoring to
arouse the farmers against pro-
hibltory laws by warning them
that their market for corn will be
utterly ruined if the breweries
and distilleries are closed. In
the face of the easily ascertained
statistical fact that not more
than 2 per cent of the corn crop
is turned into booze all such
arguments must necessarily pre-
suppose ingnorance on the part
of those to whom the circulars
are addressed.
