Watch This Grab Game.

grab game of colossal dimensions and
brazon effrontery may be sighted on the horizon
heading for congress- which is to be asked to
come to the relief of southern orange growers
with a liberal handout from Uncle Sans strong
box The ostensbe excuse for this proposed
raid on the treasury, as indicated by circulars
sent out by the Florida Citrus Exchange, is the
assertion that Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas have been suffering from "citrus canker,"
which is the most deadly enemy ever known to
the citrus industry. 1T is so deadly" we are
told "and spreads with such terrible rapidity
that unless it is eradicated without delay, the
citrus industry of the United States will have
persisted from the face of the earth" And
furthermore, inasmuch as the disease is sup
posed TO have been brought into this country
from Japan through United States custom
house. "the growers in every citrus state are or
ganizlng a movement to ask congress for a suf-
ficient appropriation to eradicate the disease"
That might be all right in its way II the
federal government should undertake to teach
the orange-growers how to protect their trees
the same as II shows northern horticulturists how
to spray their orchards. but that evidently is not
the object in view, witness this lucid expla-
nation:
The only method Of eradication is to destroy by
fire groves thus infected Florida has expended up
10 date over $500 900 In this attempt without success
and our funds are exhausted. We will ask congress
for appropriation large enough that all infected
groves may be destroyed by fire. and the par.
TALLY reimbursed equitable basis for the loss
OF his property.
In other words. Uncle Sam is to be invited to
buy all the worn-out, rundown and worthless
orange groves in the southern states So far
as is disclosed, the California citrus industry is
not to share in the melon except to contribute in
taxes along with the rest of us to foot the hills.
Everyone knows that the south Is in the
saddle in this democratic administration. but we
are not ready to eoncede its ability to play this
/ grab game successfully.

Convention Competition.


Competition is becoming brisker for the big
conventions, but 1t is
much more keen for the republican meeting
than for the democratic gathering. To find the
reason for this no one need go below the suf-
face, for the value of convention to a city
turns the interest II will likely excite and the
attendance Il may be counted on TO attract.
So far as anyone can see. the democratic
national convention will be a cut-and-dried
affair, with candidates already hand-picked and
platform ready-made to fit The republican
convention, on the other hand, will have a large
field OF candidates under consideration, and
with none OF them a certainty before the bal
loting begins. The platform differences, too.
will have to be harmonized right there. The
democratic convention. therefore, will resemble
merely parade and drill while the republican
convention will be a real skirmish in the cam
paign.
Some OF the rival cities we observe, are
going after both OF the conventions but not one
OF them. II It had a choice of one or the other,
would hesitate moment to take the republican
convention in preference.

CHEERING SOME ONE ON.

Baltimore Sun.
Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in life's the simplest.
Love will last when wealth Is gone;
Just be glad that you are living
And keep cheering someone on
Let your neighbors have the blossoms.
Let your comrades wear the crown,
Never mind the little set-backs
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be there when theyre forgotten
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
II you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on.
There's a lot of sorrow round you,
Lots Of lonesomeness and tears;
Lots of heartache and Of worry
Through the shadows OF the years.
And the world needs more than triumphs
More than all the swords we've drawn
1t is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play;
You'll be here with Drawn and gristle
When the conquerors decay.
You'll be here in memories sweetened
In the souls you've saved from pawn
II you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.

Taxing Home Industry.

The remaining import duty on sugar under
existing law soon falls by limitation unless con-
gress takes action. and Il is one OF the big
revenue producers. its continuance is being
urged by the imperative necessity of not only
maintaining present revenues, but of increasing
them. On the other hand, the refining inter-
ests and sugar importers are bending every
energy TO prevent continuance of the present
duty and are advocating instead a tax on the
domestic product, a direct assault on the beet
sugar industry OF the west. 1t is proposed to
levy what they term consumption tax TO be
collected at it's source. viz. from those who first
put the product on the market. This would
remove all protection from the domestic pro-
Queer without in any way helping the consumer
and wants even the pretense of lessening the
cost OF living. II the idea originates with the
refiners as II seems TO- that should be enough
to excite suspicion and cause congressman TO
ask why before they fall for IL.

ments cannot be answered by insults, nor
by invoking the use OF personalities.

three questions:
First-Do the people and clergy If

tics of BILLY" Sunday?
Second-Do they approve OF his ma
licious attack on our school board?
Thlrd-Do they approve of his doctrine
of a realistic, tortuous hell of birthstone

So far not one citizen of Omaha, not
even BILLY" Sundays warmest admirers

nent citizens) have come forth and an
swered these questions. Distance must
lend enchantment, as Mr.. Bradshaw of
North Platte and our unknown friend
from Chadron evidently approve them.
but the chances are they saw or heard

and Mr., lie Barron of Shenandoah have
also drawn cards in the game, but where
are all the Omaha folks? Come forth,
you fellows who lauded the dollar evan
