Anv Two.pollar Bills Get Lost

A few days ago The Bee nailed the lie being
spread through the state, by circumstantial
account on the authority OF the Kearney Hub
and the Lincoln Journal OF how $4,000 in two
dollar bills distributed among purchasable vot-
ers In Omaha at the last election were receipted
for by putting one crossmark opposite the name
of one Of the candidates for governor and throw
ing away the vote on all the rest OF the ticket
The Bee punctured this air bubble by showing
that out OF a total vote for governor aggregatng
24,91s. despite the long ballot and other dis
fractions, only $50 failed to vote for land COM
missioner, being the lowest office on the state
ticket
But we now have a more striking exhibit to
make in a comparison OF Douglas county with
Lancaster county, where the Lincoln Journal
holds FORTH and with Buffalo county. where the
Kearney Hub has its headquarters.
Computed on the percentage basis, out of
every hundred voters in Douglas county who
marked their ballot for governor. only 81 failed
to vote for land commissioner.
In Lancaster county the total vote on gov
ernor is 1907, and on land commissioner 49,
20S, so that out OF every hundred voters mark
ing their ballots for governor SIX failed to vote
Tor land commissioner.
In Buffalo county the total vote on governor
Is ,4,433, and on land commissioner 4,145, so
that out Of every hundred voters marking their
ballots for governor 6,2. failed to vote for land
commissioner. -
The fact that the complaint of excess votes
for governor would have more OF basis In Lam
caster county and in Buffalo county than It has
in Douglas county warrants the question. Did
any Of those two-dollar bills get lost and land in
the vicinity OF our critics?

The account OF his death merely adverts to
the fact that the former Mrs. Burdstte was an
invalid and the romance Of the marriage at what
was supposed to be her death bed. Old friends
along the Mississippi tell many beautiful stories
OF the constancy OF this young husbands love
and devotion to his invalid wife That man

Land and Liberty.

In citing the land question the root cause
OF the revolution and declaring that war will not
cease until the workers are permitted 70 own
farms John Lind but voices the view Of many
students Of Mexico. II took the Mexican people
long while to awake TO their oppression and
rights. Whatever may be said OF the short
comings OF Madero. he displayed the zeal Of
patriotism in his basic claim Of agrarian rights
for the masses and the demand that land
monopoly cease. Mexico's recent history is but
counterpart OF that OF every country dominated
by the feudal system. Rome's greatness dated
from the distribution Of land among the middle
classes under the new agrarian laws. At the
bottom Of all OF 1reland's trouble is the same
blight Of bigoted landlordism. The superb and
surprising greatness Of our own country lies
chiefly in the fact Of Uncle Sans being rich
enough 10 give a farm to every man who would
work II.
Land and liberty have always gone together
in the progress OF the state. And until they are
yoked one to the other in Mexico, Mexico mead
not expect more than merely desultory cessation
Of war. II cannot reverse or reject the laws OF
natural progress. Land artstocracy never has
and never will develop a country. II II could not
under the more favorable conditions Of ancient
or medieval civilization IL certainly cannot hope
10 do so today. So long, therefore, as the Next
cans may properly be described "a homeless
nation" to use the words OF Mr.. Lind, peace and
order are impossible, for human nature is not
undergoing any fundamental changes, This
leader and that, this provisional president and
that. may come and go and all sorts OF theories
may be assigned for the trouble in Mexico, but
until this one primal cause is done away with,
until the people freed from the bondage Of
feudalism and permitted other civilized races
are. TO enjoy their commonest OF all rights, next

by believing that Mexico is or can be at peace.

OMAHA, Nov. lS.-To the Editor of The
Bee; The Douglas county fair is now re-
ceiving some discussion among the farm
ers as to what 1t is, what It has been,
and what 1t may be made, II given the
proper attention by those most interested
in upbuilding the agricultural interests
OF the county. The general expression
among the farmers and live stock produce
ers is that the fair should go into the
hands OF the people of the country ais,
tricts.
1t is urged that ever since the Douglas
County Agricultural society was organ
feed in 1858, that the fair has been held
at Omaha, and that by its MANAGEMENT
in recent years II has lost all connec-
ton with the general agricultural inter-
est and sentiment OF the people OF the
county, who represent agriculture. And
that there is now a disposition among
the farming classes to take hold of the
fair and make II a real county fair"
1t is argued by this same class of farm
representatives that there is no reason
why the farmers and breeders OF pure
bred stock cannot get together on a To-
cation and establish the fair for q period
of years. say five or ten years. sufficient
to justify local interests in contributing
suitable grounds and buildings. There can
be no question as TO the desirabilIty of
country location for the county fair
Tho farmers and live stock men are al
most unit on this feature of the sub
ject. There is more or less riyalship,
however. on location. Every town and
village in the county recognizes the de-

when carefully weighed by the sober
Judgment OF the board OF directors.
The 1914 fair at Elkhorn demonstrated
the claim that fair can be held IN Doug
las county outside Of Omaha. and be well
represented In exhibits and attendance.
This fair was well pstronlzed by country
people. the farmer and his family, from
this and adjoining counties The attend
ance from Omaha did not exceed lH0 per-
sons. largely office seekers and their
+ friends, the city farmers who periodically
farm the farmers. The success achieved
proved that country location can be
made a useful and practical place for
the holding of the county fair
