tional Congress Attracts Crowd
to Nebraska Capital.

Lincoln, Neb.-National problems
OF great import are to be dis
cussed at the thirtieth annual ses-
sion of the Farmers National Congress
which was called to order October 6

harbor improvements; for approval Of
national and state forestry bureaus;
for the work of the national bureau of
animal industry; for the national
reclamation service; for good roads;
for teaching agriculture and domestic
science in the public schools; for an
extension of the parcels post, and con-
solidating the third and fourth classes
of mail; for the development of in
land waterways; for the United States
department of agriculture; for restric-
tion of immigration; for federal aid
for extension work; for an improve
ment of tenant conditions; for federal
aid to secondary agricultural schools.
The congress is opposed to the exist.
ing free seed distribution, to gambling
in farm products, to ship subsidies, to
weakening the oleomargarine laws"

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
It's Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark It az
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion OF the Panama Canal
in 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great international Exposition In
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress at It's ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
Ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums OF
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
"World's Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be great ed
ucational movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
tion who can secure It's educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
| New Orleans there are 17,500,000
| people. Within the same radius FROM
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
principal cities with a combined
population Of 20,0O0,o00 Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a COM
bined population Of Just 100000.
The average distance OF all these
cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 75 per cent of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December
: Many of our readers will wish tt

tion, and II held in New Orleans |

time and money for the trip thai

 Chihuahua Enterprise: word was received in Douglas today that the trial of Van Lee for the killing of Cummins was ended and that the defendant had been sentenced to imprisonment in the Moctezuma jail for four years. The Mexican law does not recognize justifable homicide, as does the law of this country, and selfdefense plead only when the killing is done as last resort. Hence it was impossible under the circumstances for Lee to escape some Imprisonment for the affair at Moctezuma. Under the sentence he escapes the penal ser vitude which many expected he would have to undergo, and elem ency seems to have been exercised by the Mexican officials so far as their laws permitted.
