What good reason is there why the
term Of county officers should not be
four years rather than two? 1t would
mean less expense and less of time to
the citizens and mean in majority of
cases far better service for the public.
AS it is now man no sooner gets into
an office than he has to begin to fight
and plan to stay in. Under four year
term good official would be free of
any such haunting fear for long enough
time so that he could thoroughly dem.
onstrate his ability and fitness for the
place so that when the next term came
round the people would readily prefer
him to any untried man. On the other
hand the incompetent or unsatisfactory
official would have no trouble in re.
firing promptly to private life az the
end of his term.

TAFT AND THE TARIFF

President Taft has put it up to con.
gress, including a democratic house,
as to whether or not there shall be
downward revision Of the tariff.
In his Winona speech the president
declared the Aldrich tariff the best
yet. Later he qualified this by stating
that, while this bill was an improve
ment on its predecessors, the wool
schedule was indefensible. He has
now concluded in view of the tariff
boards report, for which he has con-
sistently waited, that the matter is OF
such importance as to demand imme-
date reduction in the duty on wool
and woolens, and he has put it up to
congress in special message.
The president has won two stragetic
political points thus far in the pres
ent session-he has put both the trust
problem and tariff revision up to con-
gress, so that if remedies are not
forthcoming, it will be the fault of
congress and not Of the president.
He has recommended such action and
stands ready to sign bills in accord
ance Herewith.

WAKE UP, NEBRASKA!

Nebraska ought to wake up to it's
own possibilities. Instead of following
penurious, small-caliber public pol
icy, this state ought to adopt modern
business methods and get organized
for development. The policy of walt
ing for things to turn up won't make
great state any more than it will
make a great business corporation.
Nebraska's recent legislature ap-
propriated $17,5OO for university ex-
tension work This work includes
sending out trained experts and scien-
lists to instruct farmers how to raise
more bushels of corn to the acre
than they have been raising, and kind
red themes. Minnesota spends $350,000
per year on the same kind of work.
Nebraska's little fund is already ex-
hausted, and if Nebraska farmers get
any more benefit from university ex-
tension service during the coming
year, it will be because the experts
are willing to do charity work, de-
voting their own time and energy at
their own cost in order to help the
great state of Nebraska become
greater. 1t is said that Minnesota's
$35O,0O0 appropriation resulted in an
increase in corn yield amounting to
s., 100000 for the past year.
This state has got to get over the
idea of thinking in little figures, If it
wants to become big itself. The short
sighted policy of refusing to appro-
pirate a fund to advertise the state
in national periodicals, was another
blunder along the same line.
Nebraska has the resources, II it
will wake up to modern business
methods, and get into the game as 1t
ought to.

CHRISTMAS AND THE POOR.

Poverty" writes us asking How
shall l give my wife the embroidered
sofa pillow that she wants for Christ
mas, when l have neither cash nor
credit"
To this the more obvious reply is,
that if Poverty" has neither cash nor
credit, he would much better put any
money he may be able to scrape up
into a good square meal for his fam.
lily, which is probably hungry, than
into luxuries like sofa pillows.
And yet, are the poor to be denied
all display of sentiment? Is the man
who can barely support his family
wasting his substance, and entitled
to the rebuke of the charity visitor.
if he spends twenty-five cents for a
tiny tree, and dollar for few trnk-
cts for the wife and children?
After all, the poor need the glamor
of sentiment even more than any one
else, to cover up the sordid grind of
a losing battle.
The majority of our people are so
comfortable that no family in our
neighborhood ought to lack on Christ
mas day, either for a good dinner, or
for such little gifts and tinery as will
put song into the heart of the wife
and dance steps into the feet of the
children. Let us all look over our own
neighborhood, and try to help any
one who may be heartless and hope
less on the day that should bring joy
to all.

Mayor Gaynor in recent address
to the new school commissioners,
urged certain reforms that he felt
were essential to the prosperity Of the
system of public education. He pleaded
for simple education that will aid
the young to weather the storms Of
life, and for cessation of the refine
ments that lead him to seek a means
of earning his living in some other
way than by doing the worlds work
with his hands, and so weaken his
chances for successful coping with
life's difficulties. The country is short
handed for skilled labor. There Is no
question about good opening and
good pay for the young man whose
brain and hands have been trained in
the public schools to work in har-
mony.
