TELLS HOW THIS NATION HAS
GIVEN AWAY LAND

Warren S. Stone, chief of railway
engineers brotherhood, and w. Jett
Lauck, statistician and walking cy-
clopedia, at the rail wage hearing
told story that made men clench
their fists and wonder what sort of
a country this is we are living in.
They told how this nation has Civ
en- away to the railroad companies
free of cost, without payment of one
cent from the railroads, more than
100000 acres of land.
They brought before the wage ar
filtration board records of the general
land Office at Washington showing
that the railroads own 296, 875 square
miles of land. And this land was
presented to these rail companies for
nothing. All the timber and all the
coal and oil and iron deposits under
and over and in this land belongs to
the companies.
Outside the federal building while
StOne and Lauck testified the news
boys were yelling about another story
from New York. In that city two
men who don't own any land are said
to have been caught in a bomb plot
to kill other men. These other men,
the RockefeIlers, are railway stock
holders. They own more land than
they could walk across walking in a
straight line for weeks.
"a While thousands of men roamed
across the town of Chicago hunting
jobs, asking only to sell the labor of
their arms in exchange for wages and
a living, Warren Stone told of thou
sands on thousands of acres of land
lying idle and not touched by any
tools of man, fanced off from all idle
men who want land.

I You can get on a train at Port
land, Ore, and ride to. Sacramento,
Cal It's a 682-mile ride. 1t takes
! the fastest train 81 hours to make
the run.
Well, for thirty miles on both sides
of this railroad all land is owned by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. It's
strip so miles wide and 682 miles
long. Anybody who gets on this land
and tries to make living on it with
out seeing the railroad company first
gets a jail sentence if peaceably ar
rested and gets shot if he resists.
And here in Illinois, where over
100000 men are wearing the side
walks looking for jobs in Chicago,
2, 595, 1873 acres of land were given
away to the Illinois Central road. Al
together the rail companies of the U.
S. have. been given land equal to the
area of all the New England states
and the areas of the states of New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Billions of feet of lumber, billions
of tons of coal and iron, billions Of
gallons of oil, are owned by the COM
panies that own this land. Every
body who buys lumber, coal or oil
pays a profit to them.
The argument of the railroads that
they are not able to pay the wages
demanded by the engineers and fire.
men was disputed by Stone. He
said: Wage payments and trans
portation rates should be made on
basis which will involve distribution
of this unearned increment to the
employees of the roads and the pub
lie rather than perversiOn of these
land grants for the enrichment of
stockholders of the railroads. . y

Cash Notice,

After careful investig Of the
automobile business as conducted by
some of the largest and most success
full concerns, we have, decided to go
on a strictly cash basis. We have
also weighed carefully the fact that
a goodly number Of our customers in
sist on paying cash as they do not
care to be bothered about remember
ing little items purchased. "a cash
customer is entitled to- purchase his
goods cheaper, as he saves the con-
Germ the expense of bookkeeping,
mailing statements, making collec-
tions and other savings besides. A
merchant, who discounts his bills can
buy his goods cheaper and is in a
position to save the consumer money.
We shall sell for CASH only, nor
could we make the prices which we
have to offer, unless we went strictly
on basis of CASH. vf:s4 5.5.5sz.z4 +.

enough men and teams on this road
to grade and macadam ze it at their ex-
pense. The rock sufficient for this is
already on the roadside, and the crush
|er is in easy access to the entire dis
tance. This is one of the best road
movements that has ever occurred in
this section and should receive the
hearty cooperation of every citizen
whether they live on this particular
piece of road or not. This road has
been almost impossible for the great
er part of this winter, and it certainly
VIII be of great advantage not only
those participating in it's construction,
but to all who may travel over ii who
live at a distance. This movement, if
followed by other communities, will
soon give us some fine roads and at a
small cost to each individual concern
ed. Why not combine this project
with other sections of the county un-
til the good roads movement has
reached the remotest corner of our
county and entire country The tax
alton on automobiles will soon give us
a large sum to use, AMI with the
help of the citizens and few weeks
work each year there is no reason
why this or any other section cannot
have the best of roads, and when they
are built give little time TO keeping
them up.

LYNCH, NE B.

Learn of me; for | am meek and
lowly of heart. Matt.11:29. Truly in
a meek and quiet spirit is the secret
of rest. To be meek is to cultivate
the graces of patience, of loving sub
mission to the will of God ;of abiding
confidence in his love and care and in
the wisdom of his guiding counsel
and oververruling providences and to
persistently persue this course through
evil and trough good report or through
favorable or unfavcrable circum-
stances. Let the beloved children of
God seek more and more to copy
Christ's meek and quiet spirit accept
ing the providence of God and obey
ing his precepts and leading as he did,
armed with the strength which he
alone can supply and will to those who
take his yoke upon them and learn Of
him.
Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation; for when he is tried he
she'll receive the crown of life, which
the Lord hath promised to them that
loved him. Jas. 1:12. If we could
but keep in memory. the fact that ev-
cry trial, every persecution, every
difficulty of 'fe permitted to come up
on those who have made the covenant
of sacrifice with the Lord, is intended
to prove them, to test their love, to see
whether or not their characters are
Rxed rooted and grounded in righte-
ousness and being built up in love, it
would put all these trials difficulties
and temptations in new light before
us, and greatly assist us in fighting a
good fight and overcoming. We
would say if by these little trails the
Lord is proving my love and devotion
to him, then, however trifiing they
may be or however important l will
them as favorable oppor-
tunities to demonstrate to my Lord
the fulness of my love and devotion to
him and his cause.
