NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

Grand island independent: MIR. Bryan
comes out In a belated editorial endorsing
the daylight closing bill. The bill has been
on file in the legislature since February.
That is why 1t may fifty he said that the
editorial comes a little late. MIR. Bryan
evidently insists that MIR. Snallenberger
shall have no advantage.
Schuyler Free Lance: This legislature
session is in marked contrast with that Of
two years ago and will do the democratic
party no good as a comparison. That was
considered the best session the state ever
had and this is classed as the worst. Two
years ago the democratic minority was
permitted to participate in the proceedings
and claimed a share in the honors, but
this year the republican minority was not
permitted to do mucn and no doubt but
that it, is glad to not share in the disgrace.
Neigh Free Lance: The editor of the
democratic Columbus Telegram criticises
the Omaha Bee for its alleged bad treat
ment of William Jennings Bryan, and the
democratic press of the state generally
takes it up in me too aSticles. The ex-
pressed sentiment is that election il over
now and Bryan is defeated and he should
be let alone. Now, that would read well
II lHdi VERY dl there was W H. bul lnb
fact Is that while election is over and
Bryan has taken his regulation beating,
but he has not retired as a private citizen.
He not only discusses public men and meas
ures each week in his Commoner, but in
his interviews given to the press he goes
the same way. Not long since he was pub
licly expressing himself as prefering defeat
to election by the class who voted for
Taft, this really slurrins the president.
But according to the Telegram The Bee
nor any other pa per must say a word in
criticism of the Peerless One, no difference
what he may say through his W publica-
ton, through the public press or on the
lecture platform. If Bryan had retired to
private life after election. then continual
and persistent editorial comment of The
Bee would be properly denounced, but as
IL is II is but proper. However. I'm the mind
OF the Telegram editor and other demo-
Gratis you must not say aught adversely
to the immaculate Bryan. The sickening
hero worshiplng of such fellows makes
one weary. If the Telegram editor could
each morning be privileged to kiss the
hem OF the Peerless Ones garment he
would imagine he had a halo about his head
the rest of the day.

The Turmoil in France.

The crisis which confronts the
French cabinet and incidentally the
nation is a most confusing one to
those who have not followed closely
the trend of events in hat country.
On it's face it is simply a labor dis
turbance, but in reality it is much
more political than Industrial. The
state of political equilibrium in France
is generally unstable and the slightest
discomfort in any quarter is taken ad-
vantage of by agitators to undermine
whatever faction happens at the time
to be in power. Minor discontents
among the government employees have
been seized upon to foment strife,
which has become so acute as to be a
source Of worry for other European
nations. 1t is pressure from this
source as well as self-preservation for
the ministry which has induced
Premier C~lemenceau to take stringent
measures to meet the emergency.
1t would seem that a people so
frugal and thrifty as the French and
where almost everyone is to a greater
or less extent a capitalist would be
less given to excuses which threaten
ever the continuance of the govern
ment, but the instability of French
character is beyond the comprehen-
sion of the less impulsive Anglo-Saxon
or German. In the present instance
a vast army of government employees
have been made dissatisfied over pro-
motions and various working condi-
tons, and so persistently have the
a~gitators operated that the entire pub
lie service is threatening revolt.
Removed as we are from the scene
Of disturbance the interest of the
United States is not direct, but both
anarchy and turmoil, wherever they
exist. have a widespread influence,
particularly when those conditions ex-
list in a nation strong commercially
and politically. But France has wealth
cred many storms more serious than
the present and will doubtless find a
solution for the present difficulties.

SMALL TOWNS IMPROVING.
Betterment OF Living Conditions in
Modern Communities.

Wall Street journal.
a striking characteristic OF the improve
ments which are steadily being made by
the country is seen In the many issues of
bonds for school buildings, for extension
or installation OF lighting plants, and for
a better and more abundant water SUI ply.
These three fundamentals are being pro-
vided for out of the accumulated wealth
which the country has derived from Years
of good crops, of prosperous industries,
and of active trade.
The larger towns took the first step, and
the smaller ones aspired to do as we'll for
their own inhabitants. The ering
profession and the ~financiers began to CO.
operate to overcome the difficulties Of con-
struction and management. At first there
was a scarcity of talent to operate the
small-sized public works. But this has
been largely overcome with the result
that small towns of the country, east. west
and south, are enjoying quite as good a
public service in these lines as rIany OF
the larger cities. In fact, their Htandsr,i
OF service Is often superior 10 that Of
the large cities. where the evil Of political
preferment impairs the efficiency Of public
service.

Moves for Income Tax,
Springfield Republican.

pfA iib AAbiu iNCpubiAIdils
Some of the wealthiest members OF the
United States senate favor a federal tax on
large incomes and will support the Cum
minis or Bailey bill. One of them is Mr..
Guggenhelm OF Colorado, whose wealth
runs into the tens of millions, and who
would pay a personal tax OF more than
100000 under the Cummins bill. Another
is Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, who
spent over siOo,o 600 In his campaign for re.
election. Washington has a story that sew
eral senators favorable to an income tax,
along with Justice Harlan Of the United
States supreme court, dined at the White
House Saturday night and talked the mat
ter over with the president. 1t will be
recalled that Justice Harlan wrote an
extremely vigorous dissenting opinion when
the income tax law of 1894 was overthrown
by a bare majority Of the court.

Bankers on the Rum.

Cleveland Pain Dealer.
On Monday Of this week the former head
OF a private bank in Cleveland, whose de-
falcation caused the banks ruin, was
placed on trial. The hearing lasted two
days. The jury after celebrating an hour
returned a verdict OF guilty.
On Wednesday. two days later. another
Cleveland banker who had proved false to
his trust. was placed on trial for grand
larceny. One day only was required for
this trial likewise and thirty minutes were
sufficient for 'thctsjury to agree upon a
verdict of guilty.
These two trials established a record of
promptness perhaps unique in the local
criminal history.

Defects Of Young America.

Young America is willing to wreck any
thing but his pride and his independence.
The worst Of It all Is that, after he is
spoiled in such ignoble strife, he loses his
balance and his sense of discrimination
and is bad-mannered everywhere and at
all times. even toward women. If bad
manners among the young men and boys
Of this country are springing out Of evil
social conditions it would pay those respon-
slble for such conditions TO correct them.

WEBSTER MORTGAGE STATISTICS
One Stage in the Movement of Pros
perity Clearly shown.
Chicago Record Herald.

Chicago Record Herald.
Ten or fifteen years ago the farm mort
gage in the west was synonymous with
ruin. That was because the rapid develop
ment of western states by men with little
or no capital had been checked by 4 series
of years of crop failure combined with
nationwide Industrial depression. Only
too many Of the borrowers found them
selves without resources to tide over the
hard times. Then came a period OF recu-
peration on the basis of splendid crops for
many successive years. The debtors put
all their energies at work to pay off their
creditors. and some of the western states
got themselves into such a condition that
a farm mortgage was almost as hard to
find as a farm without a mortgage had
been a few years previously.
When that stage had been reached the
fortunate farmers, along with the towns
people who shared their prosperity, found
themselves accommodating funds which
needed investment. Purchases of adjoining
lands sent land values rapidly upward,
and in many cases farmers began to pur-
chase cheap lands still farther west for
their sons. In this way Nebraska and Kan
sas and Dakota are engaged in doing now
what Illinois and Indiana and Ohio did a
generation ago. Such purchases often in
volve temporary debts, and so the farm
mortgage now begins to become a little
more frequent, but with a different signif-
icance from what 1t was two decades ago.
The Nebraska Bureau of Labor and In
dustrial statistics reports that last year
the farm mortgages filed amounted to a
total Of $44OO. coo. as against $50, 10000 re-
leased. a slight increase. The city real
estate mortgages filed amount to almost
Sia. OOO,O 600. as against 10000 released,
which indicates an era of home building,
partly due TO farmers moving into the city
and acquiring town homes, while at the
same time keeping their farms as a source
Of income. Chattel mortgages filed
amounted to $54.4OO,OCO, as against 100000
released. a large part OF which may prob
ably be attributed to the appearance OF
tenants on the farms which the owners are
ceasing to work with their own hands.
This mortgage extension is one stage IN the
movement OF prosperity. There are no in
dications that states like Nebraska and
Kansas can ever again suffer such depres-
sion as that OF the sos.
