INCOLN is one of the few Ameri-

I INCOLN is one Of the few Ameri-
can cities which have been grow
ing steadily but are not as large
as they once were. Lincoln now has
$4,000 Inhabitants, but in 1890, when il
was a mere village, 1t contained over
$4,000 inhabitants This was because
the Nebraska census enumerators OF
those days counted a mans first, mid
die and last names separately and then
added them up.
Lincoln is in the eastern part Of Ne
braska and so years ago contained
few white men and several thousand
buffalOs. Both white men and buffalOs
came to get the salt which is scattered
profusely over the country 70 the west,
but the former soon crowded the latter
out and in 1867. with seven houces
within its limits, Lincoln demanded
the state capitol As 1t was large
city for those days IN Nebraska, Its
demand was granted and It has been
the storm center of the struggles be-
tween Nebraska legislators and Nebras-
ka railroad attorneys ever since II has
had a fairly peaceable polticsl career
however, and there are no bullet holes
in the state house
Nebraska is a fine modern American
city with wide streets, protuslon OF
colleges, vast number OF Burlington
trains which meet each day from all
parts Of Nebraska and a secretary OF
state. Manv years ago, William j.
Bryan chose Lincoln for his home, but
this was not, as has been sometimes
stated, because salt creek runs past the
outskirts of the city. Bryan made Lin
coin famous and in 1900 Lincoln men
could be told by copies Of the Com
moner sticking from their coat pckets-
Lincoln was once peOpled by the

right thing, and that he is backed up
in his course by majority OF his

home district praising his course, and
the others who opposed 1t claim to be
backed up by the same impressive

many braves from his constituents
for his stand opposing repeal as
Major Nicely has from the First dis

bills. They thought they were get

paying for it. Now when they get
manufactured milk they will have q
right to demand an accounting. This
experience in Indianapolis suggests
tnat if any Idahoans find conditions in
their milk bottles reversed, with o
settlement of cream at the bottom,
they should Immediately notify the
State Food Commissioner and have
the commodity examined to deter
mine whether this practice is in vogue

Artificial Milk the Latest

The latest product of the artificial
food laboratory is brand of Cow
less" milk, which, it is now discov.
cred, has been for some weeks sold
to large number of Indianapolis
people as the real bovine article. In
spectors of that city have just proved
this by noting that the cream settled
at the bottom of the bottles instead
Of rising to the top. and on analysis
it was found that this milk was manu-
featured by mixing powder with
water and adding sufficient quantity
of cream to yield the proper percent
age of butter fat. 1t would appear
that technically this is as whole
some as the real cows milk, but never
theless fraud is practiced when it is
sold without being disclosed In its
true character This case is analo-
gous to that of oleomargarine, the
makers Of which originally sold it as
butter and obtained for it butter
prices. 1t is now under the laws Of
the United States and most of tho
states required to be so prepared and
marked as to be identified unmistak-
ably as imitation butter. This the
authorities of Indianapolis are now re-
curing in the case of artificial or
manufactured milk. Every consumer
has right to know that exact char
acter of the product for which he is
paying. It is altogether probable that
the artificial milk costs less to make
than cows milk and yet there Is no
reason to believe that the consumers
