workman: You can drink what you

would impair your efficiency and in
crease danger to your fellow-workmen
and TO my property. you must find

tically the same as that of the banker
who will not tolerate visits by any
clerk or teller, however trusted and
capable, TO race tracks or gambling
houses. The railroads almost without
exception now prohibit employees from
using intoxicants while of duty as well

longer is deemed an asset by whole
sale houses. Scientific craftsmanship,
as well as modern manufacture and
transportation, demands more and
more the elimination of drunkenness.

Farmers who have built the stave silos

the silo depends upon the number Of
animals that are to be fed from 1t.
In the main 1t should be tall and
slim. 1t is difficult to build a sllo too
high. but It is easy to build it too large

II is more than a quarter of a cen
fury since the American farmer be-
gan to can some OF his green crops in
a vessel, called a silo. There has been
much written and great deal Of ex-
perimenting done to prove the feast
bility OF preserving some OF our green
food In this manner. There is no
longer any question that this method
Is one Of the best as well as the
cheapest ways we have of storing
some of our green crops.
In the beginning many ill-construct-
ed silos we,s built and extravagant
claims were made for their use. In
many instances the silage was very
poor I'm quality. which led many
thoughtful and conservative people to
condemn the silo.
Since we have learned TO I'LL them
properly the prejudice and suspicion
are fast disappearing and silos are
being built In every part of the coun-
try where livestock is kept The silo
has become n permanent factor In
American husbandry and the stock
depend largely on the contents OF the
silo for green feed.
The progressive dairymen have long
realized the value OF succulent food
Tor their cows. and they have been
using silos for many years IL is the
more conservative farmers who are
now rapidly becoming converted to
the use OF silage and are making I'm
quiries In regard to the building OF
silos and many other questions per-
tanning to this method OF preserving
feed. These questions hive led the
writer TO prepare these notes on the
silo and silage.
II Is a settled question that the silo
should be built round. for in a build
In OF this shape the silage is best pre-
served. In a round structure the con
tents settle more evenly than in any
other shaped building. and If the corn

In pasturing hogs on alfalfa it is
better TO provide more pasturage than
the hogs need Then cut what is left
for hay. just as though 1t had not
been used for pasture. Cutting gives
IL fresh start. and the field produces
more pasture than it would If these
patches were allowed TO mature.

questions that make the coming weeks
radiant with interest to those who are hold
ing a glass over the late presidential can
didate.
A second portent of embarrassment for
Mr.. Bryan appeared i'm the inaugural mes
sage of Governor ~Shallenberger. After a
violent struggle against the bosses in the
republican party, the legislature of 1907 en-
acted a statewide direct primary law. This
law has been used in but two elections, and
though some defects easy to remedy ap-
peared in minor points. its main purpose
was served with crushing force. The poll
teal machines dwindled under its touch
like snow men in a spring thaw. Before
the election nobody dared attack IT,, even
the dethroned bosses and their puppets
keeping their disgust down to a subvocal
grumble. Both party platforms promised
amendments to strengthen the law. Gov
ernor ~Shallenberger's inaugural address
proposed, however, to substitute for a gen
eral primary to nominate state officers a
state convention of each party to select for
the primary ballot two names, between
which the voters might select their candi-
date. This pleasant plan would mean, OF
course, that the convention fiXers would
merely have the trouble of nominating two
candidates for each office instead of one,
as in the good old times. The governor
closed his remarks on the direct primary
by aging that 1t should either be amended
on the lines he suggested or repealed. 1t
is surmised that Senator Ransom will agree
with him.
People Ap~prehensive.
In Nebraska the people consider that they
never began to rule till they seized the di-
rect primary. They are apprehensive now.
Is it to be one of the early pleasures of the
peoples rule" party to divest them Of the
opportunity TO rule? Their deliyerance de-
pendsi on Mr.. Bryan's willingness to risk
the wrath Of the politicians to protect his
declared principles.
In the framing of a plank in accordance
With the pledge TO insure bank deposits, Mr..
Bry an will be on the rack again. The peo-
pie Of Nebraska, irrespective of party, in
cline toward deposit insurance. The plat
form convention of the republican party
would have adopted a guarantee plank had
not the bankers made a mighty effort and
packed the convention with bankers and
bank directors. Public resentment at the
success OF this effort had something to do
with the democratic complexion of the
present legislature. Mr.. Bryan is well sup
ported on the guarantee question. But the
new governor Is a banker. and advocates
a much more moderate guarantee law than
Mr.. Bryan. He favors a tax to provide a
guarantee fund. but has the bankers nat
ural antipathy TO undertaking al unlimited
liability of assessment for this fund. lie
advocates q limited assessment, which
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-30

means, of course, a limited protection to
depositors. Mr.. Bryan has been committed
to unlimited liability of the banks.
Already It is said that Mr.. Bryan has de-
cided not to press this point. But the Leg
islature is full of anti-guarantee democrats
who propose other limitations. The ques-
ton OF payment, whether TO be made i'm
mediately after a bank failure, or after the
assets Of the failed bank have been real
lied on, divides the MEMBERS. Deferred
payment misses the main advantage
claimed for deposit insurance, that ii would
guarantee depositors that they could have
their money at any time on demand, and so
prevent bank runs. If Mr.. Bryan gives
way on this point also his deposit guarantee
will have the aspect of a placebo.
Legislative Raw Material.
As might be expected, the political land
slide, which made the state democratic,
swept into the legislature a mass of raw
material, men nominated without thought
of their fitness because their election was
not expected. These men will, in large
number, be dominated either by the lobby
or by Mr.. Bryan. Thus far the lobby has had
the best of it. The law which requires paid
lobbyists to register, and state their bust
ness, and confine their arguments to COM
mittee meetings, has thus far been ignored
and made the subject OF jest. The repub-
lican legislature of 1905 was such a body,
and it adjourned under a storm of public
indignation. After announcing that this
legislature will typify democratic policies.
Mr.. Bryan has said that he will not inter
fere with its work. If he persists in that
determination, or if he fails in such efforts
as he may make to direct its work along
commendable lines, there is a prosperous
chance that his typical democratic state
government will not be of a kind the state
will want to repeat in this generation.
Mr.. Bryan may be held responsible for
the administration his popularity has put
in control of the state. II other influences

hold that any person may properly make
the declaration of purpose required and yet
at the same time entertain no real intention

transaction in the public real estate, not
withstanding any view it may entertain
concerning the probable disappointment of
the law. But such Is not our view OF the
law. On the contrary, It is our opinion that
the privilege of Communication is held out
only to those who have made a homestead
entry for the purpose in good faith to secure

SPECTATORS ARE SHUT OUT
Investigation as to South Dakota Land
Brings a Straight Tip.
TAKES FIVE YEARS TO GET TITLE
Case of Gilbert Satrang and Position
of General Land office Indicates
That it VIII he Difficult
to Commute.

Investigation on the part of some of the
careful farm loan companies OF Omaha has
revealed the fact that the Trip and Greg
DRY county lands, in South Dakota, will
not become the actual property of the
homesteaders until after five years resi-
dence. The general land office may per-
nit a homesteader - commute by submit
ting proofs, and certificates may even be
issued, after a residence Of fourteen months
or longer. but the land will not be actually
clear until the homesteader has complied
with the public land laws Of the United
States and lived on the lands five years.
This developed in the case of Gilbert
Satrang OF Canton, s. D., who took a
homestead supposing that he could secure
his Communication proofs after a residence
Of fourteen months, by paying the neces-
sary amount of money, and actually own
the land in his own right.
Inquiry was made by an Omaha COM
pany, which has made small farm loans at
different times on Communication proofs be-
ing obtained. The general land office sent
the company the decision in the case OF
Gilbert Satrang, against whose entry a spe-
cial agent of the government filed a con-
test, after he had secured the Communication
proofs.

Used instalment of true democracy.
zFor nearly twenty years Mr.. Bryan has
been demonstrating to his neighbors unex-
celled capacity as a promoter of political
ideas. Now for the first time he is In po-
sition to put his ideas into effect, on a
smaller scale than he had intended or de-
sired, no doubt, but yet on a scale suffi-
cient to exhibit a fair sample of his capa-
city for constructive craftsmanship. This
presupposes, of course, that he has a domi-
mating influence over his party in his own
state.z That, aslo. is one Of the things
to be tested.
Thus early in the preceding It has be-
come clear that his ~neighbors will learn

The frs. sign OF complications for Mr..
Bryan showed in the organization of the
senate. Senator Frank Ransom Of Omaha,
attorney for the Pullman Car company, and
OF the Nebraska Stock Yards company. a
corporation closely related TO the big pack
ing companies, at Omaha, emerged from the
caucus with a majority in his vest pocket

The direct primary sees to that. If, in

his critics may say again that he is a man
