Lack of Wine Cause
OF Tame Celebration

Jewellers on the streets here last
might were the smallest of any in
|Chicago's recent history of new
year celebrations. Only one muir

the year. While celebrating John
Corbet quarreled with another
noise-maker and was shot and
killed. The assailant escaped.
1t is estimated that the cele-
bration cost Chicago $1,000, 900.

Hazing

The papers give number of
accounts of hazing again. We had
hoped to hear of no moresof this
barbarity. Hazingl This is the
name given the brutal sport where
a number of boys get together
and torture another boy for the
simple love of cruelty. There is
not single redeeming feature in
the whole business. The school
which tolerates such a thing should
be ostracised, the faculty made re-
sponsible for any injury which
comes to the boy hazed and in
case of death resulting be made
particeps crimines unless they can
prove they made every effort to
stop the abominable practice. If
it were my boy killed ! think !

This train will build up the coun-

They can ship their cotton and
corn to Iuka and find a ready

will be paid by the Iuka buyer.
This will save your teams on the

These things will make River

Keep boosting this train and it

Editorial in New York World:
No truer description of political
conditions in the United States
has been written than this, from
| the London Nation The real
| fight in America today is between
the powerful vested interests and
| the struggling aspirations of a
people nourished upon the princi-
pies of freedom and progress which
they find themselves unable to
realize in practice. /"
This is a peoples fight for free
dom. That is the meaning of the
Chicago convention. That is the
meaning of the Baltimore conven-
ton.
The strength of Roosevelt in
the republican primaries, the
strength of Roosevelt $ third par
ty movement, springs from the be-
lief of hundreds of thousands of
republicans that he is the cham
pion of the people against pfivi-
lege, that he is fighting their bat
tie against corrupt bosses and
against the plutocratic powers
that prey.
We believe they are mistaken.
believe their condolences is sadly
misplaced; but nevertheless it is
their idealism that makes it posi-
Bile for Roosevelt to tear the re-
publican party asunder.
And at Baltimore Mr. Bryan $
victories have all been won through
this instinctiue belief Of the rank
and file of the democratic party
THAT whatever his blundere he is
honest at heart and IS fighting
their cause. When he appealed
Ito this sense Of freedom he over
turned the Wall street. ammany

vention. The unit rule received

Do you own your farm or do you
rent? If you expect to own farm
do not delay the buying. The
time for cheap land WAS in the
past. It seems to me just now
that that the farmer has very
short kick coming to him. Cotton,
corn, oats. potatoes. hogs and most
everything he ought to raise bring
good price. Land value going
up faster than farm products
though and hence the necessity to
buy now. You raise more stuff
and get a. better price for it. Why
not get you a home now? Tisho-

Ten years litigation has resulted in VIC
tory for Armour & Co. and defeat for the
city Of Omaha IN the famous Bemis per-
sonsl injury damage lawsuit. The United
States circuit court OF appeals at St
Louis has Just affirmed the Judgment Of
the United tSates district court at omaha

holding Of the lower court Was that the
city could not recover from the packers
for the $1,000 Judgment It had to pay to
former Mayor George P. Bemis for In
juries he sustained when he was hit by
a falling Armour billboard.
Mr.. Bemis suffered a compound frsc-
ture of the leg and other Injuries on

Bemis sued the city and recovered judg-

action against the city was that It neg

sponzble. The court took this view Of
the case and so ruled. The city appealed
