Postmaster Wharton.

Congratulations are due all around
on the accession Of Postmaster Whar-
ton to the office Of which he has
just taken charge,
The welcome accorded him by the
postoffice clerks and carriers, and
employees generally, indicates that the
change affords them an overdue re-
lief. and that they have conferred
great expectations upon serving
under a new head who, not only
stands high in the community, but
inspires their confidence.
The Bee can well repeat what 1t
said at the time Mr.. Wharton's selec-
ton as postmaster was made public:
1t goes without saying that the new
postmaster has q mans job in front OF
him to restore efficiency in q thoroughly
demoraiixed institution. and make II fully
responsive to the growing needs Of the
community. This task cannot be per-
formed in a week. or a month. yet its
accomplishment will measure the success
Of the postmaster. In working out the
problem he will be entitled TO the sup
port and assistance OF both the employees
inside. and the patrons outside. Of the
office.
We believe this Characterization
fits the case In pre-eminent degree.

Central Labor Exchanges.

The commission investigating the
problem OF Chicago's $4,000 idle
men has promptly come to the con-
clusion that at the outset the city
should maintain a central labor ex-
change, where idle men may go and.
free OF charge, find work. The idea
Is for the employers seeking help to
communicate with the exchange and
for the unemployed to do the same.
In fact. for the exchange to become
absolutely the headquarters for In
formation pertaining to the whole
labor situation, equipped with ex-
perts capable OF meeting the de-
mands on both sides.
This looks like a good plan, but ii

the problem. In the first place. as
has already been shown. large num-
Der of the idle men In Chicago
presumably. in other cities-are idle
because they prefer to be. For them
this central exchange can have no
particular meaning. But for the man
honestly seeking employment. II
should become most helpful agency.
In Chicago and elsewhere. Of course.
there are private and semi-public en-
ployment agencies. but there Is no
systematically organized plan Of help
Ing the man out Of 4 job and who
desires to get one.
Hero again, in this central ex-
change Idea, We are borrowing from
our more conservative neIghbors In
Europe. Prof. Charles r. Henderson
Of the University Of Chicago, the ac-
tive leader OF this work In Chicago.
says there are twenty such exchanges
over there and they are doing excel
lent work. There seems to be no
good reason why the plan should not
work ~ well In this country. At least.

A Good Point Raised.

In whatever investigation II makes
Of the so-called money trust, congress
should carefully avoid action that
would tend merely to prejudice pub
lie opinion against the banks OF the
country. A very good point In this

The people Of this country know so lit
tie. have chance to find out so little.
about these great financial affairs in

tional TO them. and. possibly. TO some Of

tons that have been presented to the

which declares that certain great

And SO must other thoughtful per-

for the simple reason that the conse-
quenees Of impaired confidence In the
banks fall heaviest on the people. The
banks cannot sustain the whole In
Jury or burden. The perversion of

ousiy guarded against As matter OF

The governments statistics on
agriculture In Nebraska make q po-
tent appeal to the man with money
TO invest in farming land under the
most favorable conditions. From
1900 to 1910 the value Of farm prop
erty, including the land. live stock,
equipment and improvements. in
creased s1.sS1.sss. 900. or 1881 per
cent. The average value Of an acre
Of Nebraska farm land, with build
ings. today is s4s.s5; without build
ings. s4i.so. The minimum average
value. according to counties, Is s4.es,
and the maximum. s125 and over.
When II 10 remembered that large
part OF the western half Of the state
Is new. unsettled and land uniE-
proved, the significance OF these fig-
ures may be appreciated. First Of
all. II should be remembered that
they are not the fictitious values
fixed by land boomers. but the tangI-
BILE valuations determined by the gov
ernment's critical experts. on the
basis OF what the land actually pro-
duces. This new portion of the state
in the west is an empire OF itself,
Cherry county alone having an area
larger than that Of Rhode Island and
Connecticut combined. or than three
eastern states separately. and land in
Cherry county and other counties ad-
jacent is so cheap now only for want
Of Improvement and development, not
for want Of natural resources. This
is only a hint Of the future OF the
state.
Nebraska's crop values have riser
with its land values. It's annual cereal

Being the first act Of the kind ever intro

no other state having had actual ex-
perience In the operation OF a similar

workable Law.
l am aware OF the efforts to designate
or tag the different party factions on the

does not provide for any such labelling.
and for one am awful glad II does mot.
A republican candidate for delegate ought
to be satisfied to SO on the ballot as a
