Shafts AIMED at Omaha

Fairbury News: Victor Rosewater would have
an excellent foundation for libal suit against
the Omaha Examiner for the pictures it pub
fishes of him from time to time They
fierce
O'Neill Frontier: Now comes the word that
President Wilson is going to abandon his policy
of "watchful waiting" in the shade of Shadow
Lawn, and hike out to Omaha to attend the
Ak-Sar-Ben While at Omaha, it is understood,
the president will be prevailed upon to deliver
one of his non,partisan addresses. Somebody
must be "skeered."
Fort Calhoun Chronicles The Omaha papers
are trying to make their readers believe that
President Wilson's visit to that city on Octo-
OF Ak-Sar-Ben's greatness, Perhaps it is, but
there is possibility the president and his ad-
vsors realize that his presence there on this occa-
sion may be helpful to the cause about Novem-
Der 7.
Neigh Leader: Senator Hitchcock told the
voters of the county during his visit why he thought
he should be reelected Outside of pure politics
the Leader cites some reasons why he should
not be reelected. In the first place, the sena-
tors quarrel with Bryan and the president, which
was purely personal one, lost to Omaha and
this section of country a chance to obtain the
location of the branch of the federal reserve
bank The same incident lost to Omaha the
Indian supply depot and the headquarters OF
department of the army and will in all probable
ity operate to lose for this section the location
OF one of the rural credit banks. These are
few of the things the senator has done for
Nebraska.
Beatrice Sun: The editor of the Omaha retail
grocers' publication declares in favor Of limiting
the number of grocery stores, He declares that
in Omaha there are nearly twice as many stores
as are needed to serve the public, and that a
smaller number, the exact number to be fixed
by law would be able to serve the trade better
and at lower prices. The question which would
at once arise, of course, would be whether the
owners of the limited number of stores would
be willing to sacrifice an opportunity for greater
profits merely for the purpose Of giving their
patrons better service and winning their good
will Any interference with the normal course
of business, such as limiting the number Of con-
Germs engaged in any business, must always have
tackled to it some provision for regulating prices
and the methods OF operating the business

Among the many wild and ignorant state
ments made on the floor Of congress during the
Consideration" Of the "eight-hour" law and dur
ing its subsequent defense by democratic men,
bers, the blue ribbon should undoubtedly be
awarded to Senator James A. Reed Of Missouri,
which is worth repeating as illustrating the
amount Of information on the subject possessed
by some Statesmen" who voted for the bill. He
said: 4 talked with man who is manifestly
more than half a nervous wreck. He used to
pull the Twentieth Century Limited between
Chicago and New York, He told me that by
actual mathematics 1t could be demonstrated
that upon that run the engineer holding that
throttle had to read and record in his own brain
six signals every second. Eight hours day is
long enough for that kind of labor Eight hours
is long enough for the passengers to ride behind
man under that kind Of a strain Senator
Reed has apparently been listening to some OF
the talk of the brotherhood leaders, and has re-
ceiyed the impression that the trainmen pull"
their trains without much assistance from the
locomotive He would probably be much sur
prised il informed Of the actual facts viz: That
the engineers on the Twentieth Century are
changed seven times in twenty hours between
Chicago and New York; that not one OF them
runs for more than four hours trip and that
each OF them receives considerably more than a
days pay for each trip Of three or four hours
that he makes on the Century He might pur-
sue his investigation further and find that five
hours, or 100 miles, is the basis for days pay
or all passenger engineers on the eastern roads
and that practically no passenger ever rides be-
lind an engineer who works as many as eight
hours day. We do not blame the senator for
becoming excited about the six signals per sec
ond. but little actual mathematics" would have
shown hin/that a train running sixty miles an
iour traverses lightweight feet In q second and
he 10 doubtless enough Of traveller to know
that the scenery along the New York Central Is
got obscured by signal every fourteen feet
The artless creduty shown by statesmen OF the
Reed and La Toilette type when they are talking
to members Of the labor unions is only equaled
by the impossibility Of getting into their heads a
single real fact or truth regarding railway
matters.

The Farmer PAYS the Freight.

Closer study Of the situation growing out OF
the Adamson railroad wage law convinces the
farmer OF the quality Of the solictude for his well
fare shown by the democratic party. This law,
driven through congress as was no other law ever
enacted, provides that an arbitrary increase OF Is
per cent in wages paid to specially favored
class OF employees, amounting to $lO0OO0,OOO an
nually is to be forced on the railroads. This i'm
position can only be met by additional income;
the railroads have but one way Of adding to their
revenue, and that is by increasing rates. The
money must come from freight and passenger
earnings. To increase passenger tariffs IS I'M
practical, therefore the hundred millions required
to meet the demands OF the Adamson law must be
derived from additional freight charges The
president of the United States told 'the railroad
managers he would assist in securing authority
for them to make the increase. The whole bill is
to be charged to the shippers.
This brings the matter directly home to the
farmers. They are the principal patrons OF the
railroads, in that they provide the greater part of
the freight that is carried. Manufacturers and
jobbers may avoid any share OF the increased
rates by simply adding the amount to their selling
prices, but the farmer can not do this. He does
not fix the selling price on his commodities, and
will find that instead Of being permitted to add
the increase in freight to the price OF what he
sells, it will be deducted. Thus, he will be pay
ing the whole sum- for it will be added to what he
buys and subtracted from what he sells.
In plain words the farmer is to be made the
goat in this, as he has been in other ways by the
democrats Agriculture, our greatest industry,
has had but scant consideration from the party
now in power.

Not this year, some other year, perhaps, the
American electorate will realize their mistake in
passing up the rich and juicy offerings OF pres-
dental bush leaguers, Everybody worth while
understands how far the major candidates will
go in saving the country. The bush leasuers go
much farther aheld, promising not only saliva
ton but the abolition of cuspidors and the inau-
guration Of an era Of joy-riding with the gov
eminent furnishing the limousines and the gas.
Native perversity and the party grip Of the
majors will as heretofore persist in rejecting

THE WEDDING DRESS.

Beatrice Barry In New York Times
All, we'll. the wedding is over and Sue and
the boy are gone.
And somehow although l miss her, / don't
feel a bit forlorn
know he will make her happy, and. now
that the thing Is done.
I don't feel I've lost daughter; feel that
I've gained a son.
Well, we'll! The day when Sue told me her
voice had wondrous thrill,
My thoughts went back to my own youth,
for It all seems vivid still.
Jack says that we look like sisters, though
I'm AZ today.
But / was just Sues age-20--when Jack
and 1 ran away
met him down in the garden by the tall
pink hollyhock.
I was dressed in blue sunbonnet and III.
tie Bingham frock.
We just ran off and got married. and 1t
grieved me more or less
wanted a veil. and flowers. and satin
wedding dress!
Then Jack found out. and he leased me.
though he said, 1T you but knew.
No wedding gown could have added to the
loneliness of you.
Your eyes were like deep blue gentians. and
sunbeams frightened your hair
What mattered the gown you wore, love,
when your rosy lips were there!"
OF course that is just Jacks folly, and IL
happened years ago:
laugh myself at the memory-but do
love ''pretties' so!
It all came back when Sue told me, and
quite suddenly l saw
My chance for the truly" wedding that I
couldn't have before
Sue left 1t to me to manage-she seemed to
be in a daze,
And all I could do this morning was to
feast my eyes and gaze.
My Susie looked like an angel, though she
seemed trifle pale;
Her eyes shone bright with loves own
light through her misty wedding veil.
She had the things had longed for-f
tingled with pride to see
How sweet she looked and how pretty.
(They say that she looks like meD
My dead youth rose up to greet me-and
then (oh how did he guess?)
Jack afterward came and caught me-
decked out In the wedding dress.
Said he, WAS the bride forgotten7 Well
here Is another groom!
Suppose that we start tomorrow on another
honeymoon
He touched my hair. oh, SO gently. and
tenderly smoothed It back:
And II reached up and kissed him.
There's nobody like my Jack!
