So rapid has been the commercial
growth of the United States and so
clever have been the inventions and
industrial triumphS of our citizens
that as a nation we are never tired
of Wanting our progressive CONNER
cialism. THE world is our market"
is the cry of the American manufac-
turer and jobber and it ought to be.
But there is another side to the
picture. Complaints are made from
South America and other countries
that American exporters pay no atten-
ton to orders. They send what thay
think is suitable, not what is ordered;
that goods are carelessly packed and
not promptly delivered at Seaboard
towns: that a man ordering from
American manufacturers never can
depend on getting his goods. 1t is
such cases as these that are giving the
German, French and Japanese trade
which Americans might hold if they
were more attentive to details. A
dozen South American consuls should
do home missionary work here in
America and show our manufacturers
the error of their ways.

NEsRASKAN DIES BATHING.
J. Hamin, Wealthy Dixon County
Farmer, Dies at CrystaI Lake.

Sioux City, July 21.-Stricken with
heart failure just after entering the
waters of Crystal lake at Central park
at 1890 O'Clock this morning ]. Ham
lin of Allen, Neb., died before friends
who were within a few feet could take
him from the lake, and before they
had placed him on the banks and
called in medical aid in the hope that
there still remained the spark of life.
DR.. Charles II. Maxwell of Dakota
City was called, but could do nothing
to revive him and expressed the be-
lief that death had been caused by
shock. b. f. Sawyer, county coroner,
was notified at Jackson Neb., and
will make arrangements for the in
quest.
1t is said that Hamlin went to Crys-
tai lake with the intention of spend
ing few days fishing. Previous to
his taking up his residence in Allen,
Hamlin farmed near that town and
had accumulated considerable prop
erty, it being estimated that he is
worth at least $4,000.

There is a great deal of talk these
days about equalizing opportunities
and conditions, and there is some truth
in the statements that are made, but
we should be careful to remember that
everything in the natural world has
an individuality of its own and the in
CAPABILITIES of nature add tremend-
ously to it's value as a whole. Is 1t
not probable that the same things
under the guidance Of wise Prov
idence holds true in human affairs
The welfare of the many should al
ways be paramount, but in the spirit
which is abroad in the land today Of
leveling conditions there is some
danger that the value of the individual
may wither in our eyes. AS the
New Orleans Democrat well says:
LAS the nation flourishes we are
prone to assume that the judgments of
the majority are the judgments OF
God" Experience teaches us that
wise leadership is the sole safeguard
against the madness of the millions
who take their appetite for lunches.
In leveling the mountain to the plain
of the valley the landscape is lost.
We must cultivate thte habit of look
ing up to the personality who brought
the spirit that made us great and will
keep us so. Without this istinct rev.
erence--so easy for the Greeks, so
difficult for us-the very wealth and
power of the land may drag us down,

ONE USE FOR A TRUST

1t is reported that the great cor
porations and wealthy individuals own
ing the timber lands of the country
have united in the form of a merger,
and that one of their purposes is to
look after the forestry interests on the
lands that they control. If this is true,
it gives an illustration of the possible
utility of the trust.
There is no investment for capital
of greater return than engaging in re-
foresting lands from which the timber
has been removed. These lands may
be had for a song. For the most part
they are worthless for agriculture.
1t will take many years to grow trees
commercially valuable, and capital
will have to wait for its returns. But
when the time does come, the price
of lumber will have been so far ad.
vanced that nothing produced from
the soil will give richer reward. And
then by controlling these new planta
lions according to the approved princi
pies of forestry, they can be made to
! yield a handsome revenue forever
1t is this prospect that naturally at
tracts men of immense fortunes, look
ing for a long and safe investment
and careless of immediate profits.
We see here again how it Is that the
work of the trust is almost always
consequent upon the neglect of duty
by the several states. II the states
of this Union had done their duty, II
they had enforced their own laws
and refused to give undue advan
tages and legislative favor to aggrega
tons of capital, there would not be 6

DEMOS WANT SOME HARMONY
Some Third District Democrats Held
Conference in Sioux City.

Sioux City, July 21.-With a view of
promoting harmony in the democracy
of the Third congressional district of
Nebraska conference of the demo
cratic leaders of that district was held
yesterday afternoon at the Mondamin.
In attendance are J. p, Latta of Teka-
nah, present senator from the Seventh
district; j, c. Ecker of Wnside, and
c. A. Kngsbury, a POnca attorney. S.
f. Cobb of Emerson, editor of the
Emerson Enterprise, came in with the
politicians.
Mr., Latta desires to go to congress
from that district and will submit his
name TO the primaries, which will be
held in Nebraska on Sept. /. Edgar
Howard of Columbus, also would like
TO go to congress and C., A. Kingsbury
has aspirations in that direction. II
appears TO be the desire of those lead
ers to eliminate one of the three, thus
preventing the three-cornered fight
which must be the result of all OF them
staying in the race. The indications.
are that Latta and Howard are the
two most prominently mentioned and
so that there need not be too much
strife in the democracy 1t is the hope
that in the interests Of harmony one
OF those opposing Latta will withdraw,
leaving the field to but two. Thus the,
