Hot Shot for Bates County.

The Warrensburg Journal-Demo-
crat reads the Bates county people a
lecture on good roads. 1t seems that
there is provision in the new law
creating the office of highway engi-
neer, whereby it can be abolished
by a vote of the people, and the sug-
gestion has been made that the office
be abolished. The Journal Democrat
says:
"There is certainly something
wrong with county that has no use
for county engineer. If the Bates
county people would come up in
johnson they would find the high
way engineer the hardest worked
man in the whole list of officers. If
there is single officer who gave full
measure, heaped up and running
over, in return for his salary last year
in johnson county, it was David
Mohler, the county engineer. He had
all the concrete culvert construction
on his hands, the SUPPLEMENTARY of
all the steel bridge building, the
working out of special road funds in
different parts of the county, and the
general supervision of the work of
all the overseers in the county. If
Bates county can get along without a
county engineer it is because they
are absolutely inert so far as public
improvements are concerned.

Taylor on IngersOn.

Il sat in great theater at the Ma
tional capitol. II was thronged with
youth and beauty, old age and wis
dom. | saw man, the image of his
God, stand upon the stage, and
heard him speak. His gestures were
perfection of grace; his voice was
music and his language was more
beautiful than | had ever heard from
mortal lips. He painted picture and
sympathies of home. He enthroned
love and preached the gospel of hu-
mainly like an angel. Then l saw
him dip his brush in ink and blot out
the beautiful picture he had painted.
| saw him stab love to death at his
feet. saw him blot out the stars
and sun, and leave humanity and the
universe in eternal darkness and
eternal death. | saw him, like the
serpent Of God, worm himself into
the paradise of human hearts and by
his seductive eloquence and the SUBJ
tie device of his sophistry inject his
fatal venom, under whose blight the
flowers faded, its music was hushed,
and the soul was left a deserted waste,
with only the new made graves of
faith and hope.
81 saw him like a lawless, erratic
meteor without an orbit sweep across
the intellectual sky, brilliant only in
self-consuming fire, generated by ac-
ton with the indestructble truths of
God. That man was the arch angel
of modern infidelity and said: How
true is Holy Writ which declares, the
fool hath said in his heart there is no
God"
"Tell me not, o infidel, there is no
God, no heaven, no hell,
A solemn murmur of the soul tells of
world to be
AS travellers hear the pillows roll be-
fore they reach the sea.
Tell me not, o infidel, there is no
risen Christ!
When every earthly hope has fled,
When angry seas their pillows fling,
How sweet to lean on what He said,
How firmly to His cross we cling"
1t is in the desert of evil, where vir-
tue trembles to tread, where hope fall
tiers and where faith is crucified, the
infidel dreams. To him all there is Of
Heaven is bounded by this little span
of life; all there is Of pleasure and
love is circumscribed by few fleet
ing years; all there is Of beauty is
mortal; all there is of intelligence and
wisdom is in the human brain; all
there is of modesty and infinity is
fathomable by human reason, and all
there is of virtue is measured by the
relation of man to man. To him all
must end in the 'tongueless silence
of the dreamless dust" and all that
lies beyond the grave is a voiceless
sky. To him, there are no prints of
deathless feet on its echoless sands,
no thrill of immortal music in its joy
less air.
''He has lost his God, and like
some fallen seraph flying in rayless
night, he gropes his way on tagging
pinions, searching for light where
darkness reigns, for life where death
is king"

bud and that IL has reduced the num-
Der of native American birds. OF which
we have been so proud.
A few years ago the sparrow in
tested the public buildings at Wash
ington to such an extent hat much
damage was done. The custodian Of
the grounds and government buildings
employed an expert rifeman to shoot
them Off. With a small callber rife
the expert was busy for many weeks.
But this method is practically out of
the question in cities, besides being
very expensive. Attacking the nests
seems, therefore, to be the best
method, although poisoning and trap
ping are not prohibited. The trouble
with all methods is that care must be
taken not to carry on the war of ex-
termination so carelessly that we de-
feat the end in view by killing hum

The Stock and Money Market.

Recent reports from Wall street in
dictate that the heavy buying expected
for February has not materialized and
that there is a consequent uncer-
tainty among both bulls and bears.
Where has the trouble and the hest
fancy come from? To be sure, it is
largely speculative and will mo- ma
terially affect legitimate business, yet
it is causing all interests to notice
that conditions are not just as they
would like them. In spite of this the
jobbing trade in all parts of the coun-
try is fairly heavy.
1t is not a surprise that a setback,
however temporary, has followed the
artificial initiation of stocks, noticeable
during the few months at the close
Of last year. 1t is a rule in specula-
over-inflation and booming. That
there has been imitation is admitted
publicly by f~inanciers in both east
and west. Bankers have been keep
ing close watch of it, and although
the stock exchanges Of the country do
not lead directly into banking circles,
yet there is an effect felt by them, a
check, although slight, in trade ex-
tension and business expansion.
Eastern papers are connecting the
protest Of the public against high
prices with the d~ullness of the stock
market. OF course the effect is indi-
rect again, but, nevertheless, such a
protest will have its influence. The
thought brought out by the boycotts
concerns the reason FOR such high
prices on everything, especially the
necessities of life. This would natu-
rally check the demand on the mar
ket.
The fact that spectators attribute
much of the present uncertainty on
the market to the protest against the
cost of living is in itself a confession
that there has been imitation. If
stocks were on a sound basis there
could be no great shrinkage simply
from a protest. These conditions are
naturally reflected in the banking
business. yet the clearings in all
clearing house cities in the United
States show an Increase of IA per
cent over last year. Some cities, like
Pittsburg, Pa, show an increase Of
16 per cent. The bank statements
themselves show a decrease OF $1O,-
100000 in cash, loans have increased
$6,637, 900 and there is a decrease in
the surplus reserve of $9,277, 900.
The margin indicated is $2S,S67,O 900,
which in itself is about equal to the
average of all margins for previous
years.

lawyer and Lawmaking.

A bill introduced in the New York
legislature making it a felony for any
me mber Of either house to accept a fee
or retainer for legal or other services
from any individual or corporation in
terested in legislation, prompts the
Lincoln Journal to say that such a
law is needed in Nebraska. In Ne
braska there has scarcely been a SEES
sion for twenty years." declares the
Journal, "in which some prominent
members we'll known as attorneys for
some interest or corporation have not
appeared" 1t goes on to say that Ne
braska pays members Of the legisla-
ture but $500 for a two years term
for which the election expenses fire.
quently cost the candidates more than
their salaries, and hat when the in
cumbent is in receipt of a large salary
from other sources his work in the leg
islature naturally follows the pre-
ponderance Of compensation.
That there is a measure of truth in
this will be generally admitted. ordi-
narily lawyers would be expected to
make the best lawmakers because of
their legal training and supposed
familiarity with laws. But a lawyer
is so accustomed to representing either
side of a case for which he is retained
that he has difficulty when he goes to
the legislature in shaking of the idea
that he is not there solely to represent
the particular clients who pay him. At
the same time most of our lawmakers
are personally interested in some pri-
vate business or profession, whose vel
fare is their especial care, the chief
difference being that the n%onlawyer is
not looking for good-pay clients, and
does not have so many lines out at one
time. We have had legislatures in Ne
braska made up predominately of
farmers, and they have never failed to
take care Of the agricultural interests,
The assessors, for example, make their
rounds in Nebraska in April, when the
farmers surplus Of grain and live
stock Is at the lowest. The farmer Is
exempt from the laws limiting the
labor of women and children, and has
the benefit of most severe penalties for
stealing horses, cows, hogs and chick
ems. This is doubtless as 1t should be
in a state primarily devoted to agricul-
ture, but IL is because the farmers have
had the say in the legislature,
1t goes back, then, really to a ques-
tion Of representation and misrep-
resentation. The large interests and
corporations should have equality be-
fore the law and before the legislature,
the same as the farmer or wage
worker. A lawyer who has no clients
is certainly not calculated to make a
better law-maker than a lawyer who
has clients. But a lawyer who goes
to the legislature and takes retainers,
which he would not otherwise get, for
the express purpose Of influencing leg
i~slation is simply taking a bride and
should be amenable to the laws we
now have against bride giving and
bPibe-taking. ~"
