Nebraska,s semi.Centsnnial.

Definite plans for the proper celebration OF
the semi-centennial OF Nebraska's admission to
statehood being determined upon, only the carry
ing out OF these in detail by the committees re-
mains to make the issue the success II should be.
The people OF Nebraska have sufficient patriot
ism and state pride to enter into the spirit. and
performance as well. of appropriately observing
this important anniversary. Nebraska has
played no unimportant part in the affairs of the
nation during these fifty years OF magnificent
progress 1t is true that this state has not at
tracted public attention by its clamorous insist
ence upon some vagarious form OF political or
social activity, nor has Il been made notorious
through any OF the agencies that have so widely
advertised some Of its neighbors. But Nebraska
has contributed notably to the statecraft Of the
nation, through it's representatives at Washing
ton. II has participated prominently in national
politics and has been an important factor in the
life Of the nation in all ways.
At home its citizens have much more cause for
pride than they readily realize. In fifty years
Nebraska has been brought up from the condi-
tion Of almost a wilderness TO such degree OF
productivity as places II in the very front rank.
Its social growth has kept pace with its material
progress. till now an enlightened people ration
ally enjoys the unlimited bounty OF a state,
whose fecundity and range OF resources is be-
ycnd estimation.
With these reasons for rejoicing to inspire
them. the people OF Nebraska will heartily sec
ond the efforts OF the committees planning for
the semi-eentennial aud the success OF the sew
eral funds now contemplated is as nearly as
sured as anything can be thus far in advance.

NORTH PLATTE, Dee. i3.-ro the
Editor of The Bee: OF the several farm
ors' conferences recently held, raost OF
them BY political appointment, there
seems 10 be. aside from politics, two par.
amount considerations. First, to avoid
the expense OF middle men in producing
and marketing. concerning which there
has been much defamation and very
little remedy. Second. as to rural credits
1t Is claimed that the democratic fed
eral reserve act furnishes to big business
unlimited means for securing easy money
for speculative purposes; but to small
business. laborers and farmers, not a
dollar leaving the latter at the mercy
OF big business To alleviate this injus-
tice ON the eve Of an approaching nd
tional election, It is proposed 20 organ
lie rural credit system for farmers"
This rural credit system provides that
sections of farm land can be organized

OF course. the farmers are supposed TO
support the administration that organizes
the rural credit system.
Bear In mind. that this little rural
credits circle operates Inside the great
federal reserve octopus. to which the
farmers must first pay tribute in the

Christmas GIFT from Congress.

In the haste Of the annual holiday rush con-
gress has handed the United States a Christmas
gift by continuing the so-called war tax" on
certain proprietary articles. The excuse for
this action is the same that warranted the i'm
position of the tax in the first place. other
democratic measures for raising revenue have
failed to produce sufficient income to meet the
running expenses Of the government. The OBJ
jections to war tax in peace times are many,
and have been stated many times. II was a
poorly considered makeshift in the beginning,
and is now continued with all its imperfectlons.

actment. It's endorsement even as temporary

For Better Country Schools.

Secretary Lane of the Interior department
gets in line with present-day thought In his adj
vocacy OF Improvement in the rural schools
This is not a novelty in the progressive states
of the central west, where great stress always
has been laid on the public schools, and par
tcuiarly the public schools in the rural districts
II IL characteristic OF these states that the adj
santages of education are as freely and as liber-
ally provided In the rural districts as In the
cities. and continual efforts are made to adj
vance the work by the adoption OF improved
methods. Unfortunately. among some OF the
older states This practice does not prevail, and
II Is encouraging in high degree that the mat
ter should be urged upon the attention of con-
gress, and thus be brought directly TO the pub
lie. It Is not properly subject for national
legislation or regulation. and yet II is possible
that national action may be taken of a nature
that will stimulate the laggard states to a more
realizing sense OF their responsibility to the
children Of the rural districts. The permanence
Of our government rests finally on the general
lntelligence OF the citizenship. SO any project
for the Improvement in methods OF their applica-
ton TO the purpose Of spreading enlightenment
Is good for the people a whole.

ground between Italy and Austria. For dozen
years past both nations fought diplomatic bat
ties over that region, created into picayune
kingdom after the first Balkan war. Austria
prevented its absorption by the Balkan states

east side Of the Adriatic makes Albania the
most tempting territorial grab for Austria and
Italy, and It's possession is bound to be contested
