MISSING THE RECORD.

MISSING THE RECORD.
The campaign of deception which
has always been a characteristic part
of the record of the Omaha World.
Herald is being carried out in this
campaign, Notwithstanding that all
previous attempts to deceive the voter
in former years have not PANIED out
successfully.
Its latest attempt in the deception
line is an adroitly worded editorial in
its issue of Sept. 21st, in which it
quotes from statements made by an
opponent of Senator Burkett before
the primary, stating that the senator
had voted against free lumber. This
assertion made against the senator's
record was met and proven to be false
during the primary campaign and the
World Herald knows it. 1t therefore
quotes from that statement in an en-.
deavor to muss up the record in such
a way that the reader of the paper
will be deceived.
In order that the voter may know
the facts in the case We have examined
the Congressional Record and present
the following facts taken from that
document, which as all know is q cor
rect record of the proceedings of the
United States senate and the vote Of
its members upon every question which
comes up.
At several different times Senator
Burkett addressed the senate in behalf
Of a reduction in the lumber schedule
and his votes at different times thereon
are herewith shown:
On page 1871 of the Congressional
Record is found an amendment offered
for reduction of the tariff upon Ger.
tain kinds of lumber. That amend.
ment was defeated, but Senator Bur-
kett, with Senator Brown, Senator
Cummins, Senator Deliver and Sena-
tor LaFollette voted for its passage.
On page $3.50 another amendment
was introduced having for its object
the reduction of the tariff ON certain
kinds of lumber and the record shows
that Senator Burkett, with Senators
Brown, Cummins. Deliver and In.
Toilette voted for it. That amend.
ment was also defeated.
On page 1851 the Congressional
Record disclOses the fact that still
another attempt was made to love-,
the tariff on certain kinds of lumber
this attempt also meeting with defeat,
but Senators Burkett, Brown, Cum
Minis, Deliver and LaFollette voted
for the reduction.
On page 1860 of the Congressional
Record it is shown that an amendment
was offered PUTTING LUMBER
ON THE FREE LIST. The record
shows that SENATOR BURKETT
VOTED FOR THAT AMEND
The record also shows that
Brown, Senator Cummins and
LaFollette with other pro-
gressive senators voted with Senator
for this amendment TO place
lumber on the free list.
The above is the record. The rec
ord is the best evidence. Will the
World Herald give the same promi.
hence to a correction of its former
statement that it did t. the article Of |
Sept. 21st? Will it show the facts in
the case or continue to deceive it's
readers in its effort to elect its editor

has something to do with the question,
but not much. The tariff is the cul.
prit.
They make the point that under
sixty years of free trade in England
wages have increased 81 per cent, and
they argue from this that the abolition
Of protection does not bring down
wages. Where they get their figures
We do not know. Nor does it matter,
for such figures are misleading. Ifin
sixty years wages have actually adj
vanced 81 per cent, one naturally
wonders what they could have been
when the rise began, for after these
sixty years the workingman Of Eng
land is still very poorly paid when
compared with his brother laborer in
the United States.
And what the democratic minority
fails to say, and which is Of the ut.
most importance, is that in England
thousands and tens of thousands are
out Of work and are on the verge of
starvation, and that with two or three
exceptions the journals Of London Is.

policy.
The increased cost of living is not
unique to the United States. It is
felt in England. while in Paris the
restaurants that cater to the slender
purse are raising the price Of the table
d'hOte because the cost of food is 81
much higher that they are forced to it.
Are the wage earners of the United
States willing to exchange the protec,
tive policy ofthis country for the free
trade policy Of England and take
chances under the meagre wage scale

SERIOUS LABOR ALTON
ON SOUTHEASTERN RAILROADS
An Effort Has Begun 10 Amficably
Settle the Controversy if Possible.

(By the Associated PRESS
Washington, d. c., June 18.-The
labor situation on practically all Of
the railroads in the territory south Of
the Potomac and east Of the MiSsis-
sippi river, in SO far as it affects their
conductors and trainmen, it developed
today, is serious. Chairman Knapp
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, and DR.. Chas. P. Neill, Commits
sioner of Labor, the mediators under
the Erdman Act in labor disputes in
volving interstate traffic today at the
request Of the roads and with the
acQuiescence Of the employees began
negotiations in an effort to settle the
controversy.
The situation still is acute. not
wi~thstanding the fact hat mediation
proceedings are under way. The med
iators today, however, declined to
make any statement in regard to the
matter except to admit that applica-
ton had been made for their inter
vention, tina the matter had been
aiken up Immediately and that the ne
gotiations were IN progress.
The demands Of the men include
large increases in wages and some i'm
portant changes in working conditions.
The employees involved are brakemen,
flagmen and conductors,
In fact all members of the train
crews except the engineers and fire
men.
Negotiations between the oad and
the men have been in progress for
some time, but all efforts to arrive at
a settlement were fruitleSS. It has de-
velOped nat the rainme took q
strike vote and some days ago notified
the companies that unless the contro-
versy was promptly adjusted a strike
would be ~inaugurated on all the
roads concerned. An application for
mediation thereupon was made by the
roads.

SELL OFF THE OLD HENS.

AT this time Of tne gear hens hatch
ed a year ago last spring may be
roasted nicely if they are in good CON
dition, and let Tne say right here 1t is
bad policy to market chickens that
are poor in flesh.
A thin hen can be Well fattened IN
three weeks.
She can be made to in
weight from 4 IL pounds to 6 pounds
and this rain of one-third in flesh is
surpassed by the advance In price
per pound at h hands of a discrim-
mating purchaser.
There Is another kind of TOW that
the shrewd farmer wishes to get rid
Of befor winter and his is the time
of year to do it.
I refer to the hen two or three years
old
The hen that you kept owe the last
season against your better judgment
for you knew that as a pullet and as
q yearling she did better work at the
egg basket han she eve can do again.
She accumulated fat during last
winter and will do all right to stew
lots Of good gravy about her; or she
will il stewed a while first make nice
chicken pie.
If steamed a long time she will even
make u prime roast. Sell her now
before the price goes down.
In June last year we disposed OF
our surplus old hens at Is cents per
pound. that is more per pound than
they vii, bring mex fall.
From July first to November first,
old hens scarcely more than pay for
their food by the few eggs they pro-
duce and IS the price Of live poultry
drops so fast In the meantime 1t is
test to sci: early.
You need the room in the summer
quarters for youpger and more pro-
fta3le hens.
You need more room too for the
growing youngsters, for by October
first, the carly pu1lets should come
in to the regular laying houses and
they must not be crowded if they are
to do their best work. So weed out
the fat old hens.-T. E. F.

THE RAISING OF HOGS.
Value of Business and It's Availability
in North Carolina Set Out.

The North Carolina Experiment
Station has just issued a bulletin on
Hog Raising IN North Carolina which
is available to all farmers in the State
who are interested in this subject, and
who apply for a 0 Of same.
The Importance of the swine indus
try in North Carolina has not been
fully appreciated by our farmers, and
it is evident, says Director Williams,
from the inquiries coming to the Sta
ton, that Northern and Western hog
are coming to realize some
thing as to the opportunities afforded
by this and other Southern States for
this industry. Every farmer who
grows hogs should have a copy of this
publication and with its aid help to
place the swine industry Of the State
on a broader and more economical
basis.
there is possibly not another State
IN the Union where hogs can be grown
as economically as in North Carolina.
and 1t should be the aim of every
farmer to do his part in growing q
substantial number of hogs each wear
Thousands and hundreds OF thousands
OF lola are sent out Of the State
for pork and bacon, which
could be produced here in North Car
DINA by our farmers as cheaply as
It Is done in the West.
The bulletin devotes some attention
TO the selection Of breeding stock, the
1eedlng care and management of the
nerd, prevention Of disease and other
important subjects, bearing directly
on the practical side Of the business.
The aim It would seem in preparing
this publication is to bring the farm
ers IN closer touch with a much neg
lected and undeveloped industry which
offers possibly greater Inducements
than other lines of live stock raising
where only small capital is to be in
vested.
Any one residing in the State who
Is interested in building up the live
stock industry may secure a COPY of
