When Governor Shallen berger signed
the bank guarantee law, there was
doubt and misgiving on part Of many
men. The Law has become one Of the
most popular upon the statute books
Of Nebraska, and bankers ss well ~
business men and farmers are highly
commendatory Oft governors action.
The bankers who fought 1t hardest now
openly aud willingly admit It's good
points. Shallenberger's signature to
that bill exhibited qualities OF states.

Law today IL extremely popular and 1t
emphatically endorses the governors
good judgment In signing the bill in
the face Of such vehement protest
Gov. Shallenberger will have better
opportunity In the United States
senate than even as congressman or
governor and at the close Of his
present campaign the chances are he
will find an endorsement fully rs en-.

Nagging at Silas.

Whether II. ID. Sutherland of the
Fifth district may be elected or not, he
is having enough fun out of the cam.
paign to compensate him for the effort.
Out at Beaver Ciy they had u county
fair last week. Mr.. Sutherland was
there, and one evening addressed an
audience in the city park. He dis.
cussed national issues as the candidate
Of the democratic and populist parties.
Among other things, he recited the
fact that when in Lincoln lately he
called upon his adversary, Silas A.
Barton, for a statement us to whether
the latter was for Taft or Roosevelt.
Mr.. Barton replied through the
press that the moose and elephant are
In close relationship Ia Nebraska, and
then called upon Mr.. Sutherland for q
statement as to whether he Is a popu.
list or a democrat
Mr.. Sutherland told the people Of
Beaver City that he had replied to that
through the press, saying that for
) ears he had been a member of the pop.
ulist party, but that he Is now in af-
filiation with the democratic party
and supporting Wilson and Marshall
But he did not stop there. lie directed
attention to the fact that the versatile
Silas Barton had attended the pop.
ulist convention as delegate at the
same time that Sutherland attended
In the same capacity.
In closing his address Mr.. Sutherland
demanded again that MIR. Barton take
the people Of his district into his conf
dence and tell them whether he |.

for Roosevelt and his platform.
"We stand at ArmageddOn, and w

matters?"- Lincoln Star.

just what did Lincoln mean by his
celebrated phrase ''governme ut of the
people. by the people, for the people?
Did he mean no more than Daniel
Webster did by his very similar ex.
preston thirty years before? Web
ster's reply to Hayne ranked as the
greatest, most significant speech de.
Nvered In Congress when lincoln was
. young man. The future president
was twenty one years old when the
famous debate occurred as to the char
acter Of the federal government. AL.
though Lincoln might not have known
Of the speech ut the time Of his deliv.
cry, it can not be doubted that he had
read 1t again and again after he be.
came conversaut with law and politics.
When Lincoln himself went to Con.
gress seventeen yearsiafterwsrds, Web
ster was still In the height Of his glory,
aud regarded ~ the foremost lawyer
and statesman Of the day. While
Henry Clay was the leader Of the Whig
party, appealing more to the masses
and the uncultured, Webster WAS the
vhig whose speeches we're In the school
books, whose arguments were In the
opinions Of the courts, and whose lead.
orship Of the intelligent was undis.
putsd. The speech in reply to Hayne
Was still the most talked Of speech Of
the time. hsyne and Calhoun had
argued the right Of state to nullify
IN act Of Congress within its bouudar.
-, and conteuded for the power of
state to interpose against . law OF con-
9ress when the state deemed that law
unconstitutional. It was in answer to
thSse propositions that Webster made
his great arguments in which he con.
tended that the general government
WAS the creation OF the people, not of
the states, independent of the states,
and supreme over the states. In his
reply to Hayne he used this language,
s'lt Ii, sir, the peoples constitution,
the peoples government, made by the
people, made for the people, and an.
awersble to the people" Lincoln un
doubtedly had read and pondered this
phrase many times. In that speech,
also, Webster had announced that war
Vas the inevitable consequence of any
resistance to the general government.
The speeches and arguments Of Web
stsr must have been quite familiar TO
Lincoln long before he took his seat
~ President, and they were doubtless
read and re-read during the progress
Of the war. Yet it may be that Lin
ooln had y still deeper meaning than
the meaning Webster had In mind.

Conserving Home Trade

Conservation Is a wat chword If to.
day. businesses are being made more
profitable, often times not SO much by
extending TO new and untried fields
and by developing the existing field
and saving leaks.
Similarly in the life Of the trade
community. Securing new Industry
to locate here would be profitable to
our city. But II our people can be
persuaded to buy the products OF home
industries, rather than patronizing the
industries OF some other town, the
same result Is accomplished and with
much less risk of loss.
The money is placed In circulation
here and It. helps to build up your own
town, rather than helping to build up
some other town.
The man who breaches aud practices
the idea Of patroAizing home enter.
prises is helping to build up his town
just as surely rs II he made IL some
fine gift And it costs nothing to talk
up nome enterprises.
Prices OF goods tend to equalize
themselves the world over. If you get
an article for less in some distant de-
partmen, store, 1t is because you have
ia. take more pains and time to get II.
Or you have to make it up In payment
OF express charges, or in the fact that
the guarantee of good value Is less
satisfactory. The Examiner.

NO CHANCE FOR ACCIDENT

w. R. Smith, superintendent of
this division of the Great Northern,
takes decided exception to the item
printed in this paper that an acci-
dent was narrowly averted at Eu-
reka recently by the prompt action
of the operation there. He informs
US that there was nothing wrong
with the order and no accident to
be averted, and in justice to the in
tegrity and carefulness of the dis
patcher's force we give the circum-
stances, which were as follows:
On the night in question, No. a.
held an order to meet No. Fl and
Ist No. at Eureka, No. "A taking
the siding. The latter train pulled
up to the west end of the passing
track, but on account of 1st No. 1
being delayed dispatcher sent the
operator out with an order for No.
"a to meet Ist No. I at Tobacco,

Andrew Mock Picks Up Snaps
in Libby Realty. Makes
-Four Investments in Week
and Looking for Others.

Andrew Mock, who came here
from Indiana a couple of months
ago to look over the town, evil
dently has found things to his lik-
ing, as he has made several in
vestments in Libby Realty during
the past week. In South Libby he
has purchased the Greeley house
and lot for $500 and the McCorkle
house and half block of lots for
$2,o In business property. he
purchased the Swanson building
formerly occupied by Bergdahl &
Buseth for 81 200 and the Bergstrom
lot occupied by the Switzer build
ing for SI65o. We understand that
on this latter site the purchaser
contemplates the erection of brick
business building this spring.

CAN SHIP LIQUOR TO DRY TERRITORY.

The supreme court of the United
States has handed down an opinion
which will nullify the work of pro-
hibitionists of years standing, by
decidiug that liquor may be shipped
from any state to another despite
state laws to the contrary. States
may continue to pass laws prohibit
ing the sale of liquor and cities may
refuse to grant licenses, but indi-
viduals may have any quantity
shipped to them without let or
hlndrance In short, the decision
makes all states "wet' so tar as the
individual is concerned.

south of the meat companv's prop
erty were sold TO B. F. Howard

RAILROAD RUMORS
GOING The ROUNDS
State Points Believe c.. N. to
Build Mondak Branch with
Libby Terminal. However,
Kootenai Central Best Bet.

State dailies are featuring reports
of contemplated railroad building
by the Great Northern, which in
cludes Libbv as one of the princi-
pal benefciaries. 1t is stated that
the Mon'ak line, which leaves the
Great Northern near the Dakota
border. will touch Lewistown. Great
Falls. the Flathead and Libby, ioin-
ing the main line here. 1t is also
stated that this Mondak branch
will become the main line. saving
many miles in distance and giving
easv grades.
This dope is very entertaining, hut
we refuse to get excited just vet,
though there can be scarcely any
doubt the road be built in due time.
What will he of more lasting
benefit to Libby is the building in,
Of another railway line, and VILE
we are no prophet nor the son of
prophet. we are of the belief this
second line will be the Canadian
Pacifc's Kootenai Central. This
is the road now being being built
above Gateway to Golden on the
Canadian Pacific. The charter
calls for the building of the line to
the Montana border on the Kootenai
river, about 60 miles up the valley
from Libby.
In this connection press dis
patch dated Monday of this week
is interesting. ]. S. Dennis, Can
ad1an Pacific railroad land commits
sioner, being interviewed by a
member Of parliament. assures him
that efforts would be made to has
ten the completion of the Kootenai
Central and BY fall traffic would be
handled on the Golden section.

SOCIALIST LECTURER
TALKS ON SUBJECT
Rev. Buzzell Delivers Lecture
on Subject to Local Follow
ers. Divides Trouble Into 4
Subdivisions. Has Remedy.

Rev Buzzell spoke in the inter
ests of the socialist cause last Fri
day evening in Plummer's hall to
good crowd
He made the point that the la
borer's condition had not advanced
with modern methods and inven-
tions; that one man today with i'm
proved machinery could do the
work of fifty men a hundred years
ago, but his own condition had not
advanced, IN proportion, if at all.
He divided the root of trouble in
four subdivisions, which should be
bettered-povertv, ignorance, dis
ease and criminality. His remedy
was that the means of production
and distribution SHOULD be in the
hands of producers.

TROY BRIDGE LOCATION. WEATHER CAN'T STOP IT.
Troy, Jan. 81, 1912.

Troy, Jan. 81, 1912.
Editor Herald The county COM
missioners are to be congratulated
by their act of changing the bridge
at Troy from a mile below to oppo-
site the town. Following are some
facts in the case
Seventeen claims already have
been filed upon the rich fruit land
in " Brien creek basin. The great
drawback at present is that it has
no outlet. If the bridge were
built a mile below town every time
a farmer hauled his product to his
market would require two miles
extra, or four miles for the round
town. Would this not be a gross
injustice to those farmers?
Another commenda bic thing is
in selecting a heavier steel bridge.
| have been on the Kootenai river
for 30 years and in my time l have
seen the water rise "a feet above
low water mark at the present
bridge site At such times the
river becomes so swift and wild
that the best bridge is none too
good
There is also an advantage in
having the r. r. crossing at the
east end of the yards instead of the
west end, as at present, because
nearby is a culvert which already
has roadway through it, and
should the road be blocked at any
time one can reach town by S or
10 minutes drive, which will be
greatly appreciated by those who
have frequently had to wait over
two hours to get across the track
at the present crossing.
Now, if we can manage to get
high tax put upon the unused land,
this will be the most prosperous
spot on earth.
Yours for its accomplishment.

What is a Kilowatt, a Volt, an Ampere?

1t has been estimated that the
time and labor wasted by those en-
gagged in selling electricity in try
ing to make their customers under
stand kilowatt would suffice to
build string of pyramids from
New York to San Francisco, says a
magazine writer. And the dis
couraging feature of the task is
that after all this effort the Gus
toner still remains ignorant and
cherishes the delusion that the
method of electric measurement is
a devious device for concealing ne
farious practices by the electric
light companies.
The average American is per
fectly satisfied to buy gas by the
foot, transportation by the mile
and telephones by the month, but
watts look suspicious and kilowatts
totally depraved. This difficulty
might have been avoided if the en-
inent scientists who first adopted
these accurate and to them conve-
nient terms had been willing to
show the rest of the world how to
compute electric quantity i'll feet
and inches or barrels and quarts.
The kilo is an cid friend Cor an
cient enemy, if you will) borrowed
from the metric system.
This leads to the definition of a
watt. But in order to know watts
one must first learn about the two
other members of the family-am-
peres and volts. Broadly speaking,
amperes measure volume, volts
pressure and watts the resulting
quantity.
In order to get tangible idea of
the ampere, electricity may be com
pared with water flowing through
a pipe. In this illustration the
ampere will represent the volume
OF water, which is determined by
the size of the pipe, but this should
not be confused with the size of the
electric wire, which has nothing to

were fined $27 each by Judge
