OUR weekly COMMENTS.
Congressman Kinkaid of Nebraska,
has a bill pending before the Commit
tee on Agriculture providing for the
free distribution on the residents of
the territory, covered by his home
stead at. of young pine trees from
the nurseries maintained on the
Nebraska Forest Reserve.
Tomorrow's dinner need not cost the
fastidious quite so much as did last
Sundays. The prices on a number of
things that enter into high priced
menus have dropped during the week.
But how about the common mans
dinner tomorrow. 1t has been
up-in-the-air for a long while and
shows no signs of a McGinty des-
cent.
Representative Hinshaw has sub
mitted for the Committee on In
dian affairs, an adverse report upon
a measure appropriating a large sum
of money to members of the Delaware
Shawnee, Absentee-Shawnee, Texas
Cherokee n Chootaw Indians for
A-depredations committed against them
by the whites between 1850 and 1868.
The whole matter is dismissed as be-
~ longing to a class of claims in the
''exigencies of war classific alton.

DR.. Tanner has found a cure for
the evil known as high cost of liv-
ing" His remedy is simple enough
inc would without a doubt be effect
-r~ i've. The shrewd doctor proposes
that when. meat is high we quit eat
ing it. Naturally to the person not
buying, the price at that time will be
r. im-material. Likewise with other food
products. When the price is too
high quit eating. Play the Chinese
ga~me-Starve. 1t may not be the
most agreeable method but it's bound
to be a success. And success is
something. Try it and report re-
suits.
New Orleans comedies the Panama
exposition to San Francisco. The
southerners have decided to accept
the action of the house as final, and
will interpose no opposition to a
vote in the Senate when the House
bill is taken up for consideration.
Numerous conferences between citi-
zens of Louisiana and the senators
and members of the state COMPRESSION
al delegation resulted in this decis-
ion. The headquarters of the New
Orleans boomers have been dismant-
eled. 1t is said that New Orleans
people spent $4,000
AS we wander again through the
land of mud. We are prone to won
der about the streets that are not
paved. For nearly a year there has
been comparatively little rainfall
and correspondingly little mud to
contend with. The citizens of Falls
City are in this respect much like
the man whose house had no roof
on it. When asked why he no roof
he replied; when it is nice weather
l dom need any roof, and when it
rains | can't roof. Now, that it is
raining and the mud is everywhere
in evidence, our thoughts revert to
the advantages of paved streets.

Another radical step to prevent the
concentration of power in a few
hands in the House of Representa-
tives has been taken by the newly
designated democratic members of
the way and means committee Of
the next congress-. 1t was determin-
ed that in the makeup of the CONT
tees of the new house the chairman
Of all committees that have the pow
err to prepare appropriation bills and
the chairman of the judiciary, inter
state, and foreign commerce, and
District of Columbia committees, will
not be members of any other commit

preside.
That there is strong opposition to
the Canadian reciprocity measure is
borne out by expressions from repre-
sentatives and Senators. Senator Nor
ris Brown of Nebraska, is one who
does not favor action by the pres
ent congress-, and while he has ex-
pressed no views as to the merits Q
