Corn crop Yet 20 he CInched.

EXETER, Neb., Sept. 1S-To the Editor
OF The Bee: Much Is being published In
the larger state papers about the enor-
nous corn crop Nebraska has about Sc
cured. but l want to say that from re-
ports of many farmers from various
parts of Fillmore county; this county has
less than half Of the crop secure from
frost at the present writing. and from
reports of the armers tributary to this
town, less than one-third of the acreage
is safe from frost, and will require full
two weeks Of mighty favorable weather.
Yet to save the balance, to simply pass
along a field OF corn. on the cars or
other vehicle, one is led TO say. that
CON is past danger" but to go into the
fields and examine it. you will find the

THE MOST USEFUL MAN.

ali the names so far suggested for
this distinction. The IntelIigencer
agrees with the Parkersburg Sentinel
that that of the Hon. Earl W. Oglebay.
OF this city. according TO strictly lust
measurements. leads all the rest.
Mr.. Oglebay's usefulness to the
State stands out as clear and clean
cut as the finest cameo. He has great
wealth and has used IL most unset
hshly in the practical uplift. and
not through fads OF selfaggrandize-
ment. Whatever he has done has
been done quietly and modestly. Nota.
bly, has this been the case Of HIS gifts
to his alma mater. Bethany College.
Mostly is he interested in agriculture
and the Advancement Of scientific
farming. AS a member Of the State
Board OF Regents. he has given his
time ungrudgingly. and has brought
to the councils Of that board a ripe
experience that has been OF great
value. In every enterprise looking 10
the betterment OF the social condition
OF the people he has lent a helping
hand. All of his activities have been
inspired by a public spirit. a State
patriotism and a personal concern for
the welfare Of all. and with no hope,
no desire and no possibility OF pccu.

wards will be all the richer In the
respect and esteem Of his fellow citi.

CITY DAY AT THE FAIR.

when 1t is expected that the high mark

FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY.

Nikola Tesla. one of the inventive
wizards OF the world. gives a wonder.
full picture OF the amazing possibili-
tise of electricity in the future, in
the current issue OF the Manufacture
ers' Record He precedes his predic-
tons With an interesting review OF
the practical uses to which electricity
has been put in recent years. IL Is a
veritable romance OF accomplishment.
But he opens up a marvellous field OF
greater achievements. The telegraph.
telephone. photograph and incandes-
cent lamp. induction motor. oseillato-
~ transformers, Roentgen ray, ra-
dium. wireless and numerous other
revolutionary advances which have
been made within the last century
may suggest the thought that nothing
is left TO be done in electricity. Tesla
says all this is as nothing as com
pared with what the future has in
store, and which. In brief. may be
outlined from his forecast. as follows:
Hundreds OF millions OF dollars may
be saved annually by a comprehensive
electrical plan for the mining. hand.

mates the strength OF the Chinese.
They have maintained a civiliza-
ton and an independent govern.
ment for over three thousand
years and they have grown to a
population Of from three to four
hundred million people. Man for
man. in industry and trade. they
are as strong as any other people
upon the globe. During ninety
eight per cent. Of their history the
Chinese have been stronger poll
tically and as a military power
than the Japanese. II is NOT m
credible that during two thousand
years OF history even a strong ma
ton might suffer from illness and
a small nation might temporarily
excel her in military power. But
II Is quite incredible that a people

No wise nation will enter lightly

facing to-day disasters and wars
and even temporary overthrow

people are not facing permanent
conquest by any foreign nation.
AS TO the type of government.
the Chinese have been accus-
toned, TO a large extent. to local
self-government for more than
two thousand years. Even during
the long centuries in which the
government OF China has been
IN form and, to some extent. in
reality a despotism. that despot-
ism, has not gone below the
Hsien. or district city. The Hsien
official was the lowest official al.
pointed by the emperor; and mis-
duties were largely limited TO the
collection OF taxes and the pre-
servation OF peace throughout mis-

free to make their own local regu-
lations.
In these local regulations the
authority of the family rested
largely with the father. As the
family multiplied and became a
clan the local authority rested
nominally with the oldest father.
But as his clan was always m
competition with and sometimes
in an open struggle against neigh
boring clans. the nominal ruler
was accustomed TO select the man
most acceptable TO the strong
men in the clan as his repre-
sentative; and this Lieutenant ex-
ercised the real authority. Some
times the clan leader was selected
openly by vote as In a New Eng
land town meeting. More gener-
ally his selection was determined
by conference OF the father and
the strongest men in the clan or
village.
Along side OF the clans were
the gilds. Every business In
China, save farming. is organized
into gid and the officers OF the
gilds are selected by the members
OF the gid. Gid government,
therefore. Is purely democratic:
and the gilds and clans in every
district in China formulate all
regulations governing business IN

ment TO the provinces and 10 the
nation at large; and the world
was astonished at the ease with
which this extension was made. al

which characterized the new gov

and years; having exercised a

years, and now having extended
