The Practice Of LouroIIIng

When Abraham Lincoln was
a member of the Illinois Legis-
lature his sense of justice was
shocked by the practice of trad
ing votes to secure the passage
of bills that would not be able
to go through on their merits;
in other words, the familiar
system of:log-rolling." Against
this practice he made a sturdy
protest. Governor Aldrich of
Nebraska took the occasion of
Lincoln's birthday to recall this
protest against common legis-
lative practice and to e m :
phasize it's evil in his state.
Speaking before the Young
Mems Republican club of Lin
coin, Neb., he said:
No measure should pa So

which is causing the business
men in turn to "take stock" Of
the good points of their own
town.
The secretary reported at
tending a recent "Home Trade
Evening" where various mer-
chants expressed themselves
somewhat as follows:
Catalogue goods are inferior
except as leaders.
In hiring help, merchants
should give preference to home
citizens.
Don't advertize t h e other
towns, even by suggestion.
Talk your own town.
Women have bent for get.
ting bargains. Educate your
wives to realize the value of
combining your aims and in
terests and those of your fellow
citizens, and supporting your
own town.
Men who do not support the
commercial club of their town
are as much a detriment to the
place they live in as the man
who trades out of town.
The advantage of Wahpeton
as site for a canning factory
was discussed. Mr.. Barber re.
quested consideration until the
next meeting of the fact that
not one vacant dwelling could
be found in the city, and the eff
feet of that CO ldition upon the
city's possible growth.
AT a directors meeting which
followed, the secretary was in
structed to request l1kenesses
of James J. Hill, that one might
be placed in the new Great
Northern station, and another
in the club rooms. Mr.. Hill for
two years has been an honorary
member of the club.

RECIPROCITY 0VERSHAD0W-
ED ALL ELSE


While the Canadian recipro.
city treaty stands out as one of
the biggest things before Con-
gress which is just coming to
a close tecause of the fierce
controversy it stirred up be.
tween different sections and in
terests, and the uncertain ulti.
mate effect it would have on
the general tariff policy of the
country, and also because of
the bearing it had on an extra
session with the inevitable
opening up of endless legisla-
tive possibilities, there were
many other matters before Con-
gress which would have EN-
gagged the attention of t h e
country to a considerable ex-
tent if the treaty had not mono
polized it. The Lorimer case,
for instance, was sensational in
the extreme: there was a bill
for the reorganization of the
consular service, which receiv-
ed but passing attention; there
were the usual appropriation
bills carrying hundreds of mil.
lions of dollars, which had to
be rushed through; there was
the annual and inevitable war
scare personally conducted and
exhibited by Hon. Richard
Pearson Hobson, of Merrimac
fame; and there were dozens of
other things, all Of which suffer
ed as to publicity from the
prominence given reciprocity
and extra session talk.
About 80 members were pres
ent last Wednesday evening at
the regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial Club. Mr..
Eberley for the entertainment
committee reported that $500
prize money must be guaran,
teed for the approaching Fire
mems Tournament, and sug-
gested that the club might do
this upon the understanding
that the money would be raised

He also reported progress II

through the halls of Congress
or State Legislature save and
only on it's merits. Would that
every member of the Nebraska
Legislature would study and
analyze and commit to memory
these words of Lincoln's, and if
by so doing he could burn these
sentences 80 deeply into his
soul that he would only sup
port such measures as had
merit and justice and right on
their side, how infinitely better
the Legislature of Nebraska
would be! How much cost and
trouble and injustice would be
saved in wrong measures being
turned down because they were
wrong and right measures sup
ported because they were right.
This is a warning that needs
to be given to other Legisla-
lures than the one in session
in Nebraska. If laws are made,
not because they are essentially
right, but because they can be
passed by the methods of trad
ing, we may we'll distrust the
character of the Legislation and
its effects in practice.

The Munds mining district, which

Pacific, is being rapidly prospected,
and considerable amount of dev!

A recent visit to the district by y

encouraging fact that within six
six miles Of the station. and on pro-
perties lying closely together, twelve
men are actively engaged in develop
ment work, and that the services Of
several freight teams are required,
from time to time, in hauling the
material and supplies for this work.
Ttis is In addition to many other
properties on which preliminary pros
pecting is in progress, and the com
pletion OF annual assessment work.
IA inspection of the the ten claims
owned by the Copper Bell Gold and
Copper Mining Company was made,
in company with Mr.. W. f. Hager.

Al. Barlow Seriously Injured.

Al, Barlow met with a most dis
tressing accident at Luckyboy last
Tuesday. He was employed as pump
man on the 400 foot level of the
Mountain King Mine, and in some
unaccour table manner his arm was
caught between' the pump column
and the cog wheel. He was held in
this critical position for nearly an
hour before relief reached him, the
large wheel grinding his arm all the
time.
On Wednesday be was taken to
the Sisters hospital at Reno, accom-
panied by Dr. Pache After con-
sultation it was found necessary to
amputate the arm at the shoulder.
At last accounts Mr.. Barlow was
doing as we'll as could be expected,
and while he is not yet out of dan.
ger, it is hoped and believed that he
will survive the operation.
