not more scientifically prepared for our
consumption anywhere in the world than
here in South Omaha, Neb. IL as much
energy and push and power were devoted
to the state government as in devoted to
this great industry 1t is hard to say how
far we would go. We all have the same
interests; we all are the same people and
we want to stand by each other. ! want
TO counsel the legislature never to do any
thing unjust TO this great enterprise or to
any other. We are proud OF it and want
to see it prosper. You seem to have done
