Many Factors Enter Into the
Modern Marketing of Grain Crops

without tho telegraph il would be help
less Tho telephone Is an instrument
equally necessary to the smooth working
Of tho machine.
Tho steamship Is most important
factor next 20 the railroad for Il opens
up the great markets OF tho world I'm
other lands,
II wheat goes up a penny in London
that fact Is known In Omaha almost as
soon at It happens Chicago quotations
are neatly chRlkcd on the board Of the
omaha exchange half a minute after
they have been chalkcd on the board In
Chicago.
Space and time have been annihilated
in order that wheat. the great cereal
which has supported man from the dawn
OF history and probably FOR a long time
before that may be brought to the place
In the world where II is needed.
Much of tho movement OF grain through
Omaha Is from areas where the crop has
been scarce in any year,
Thus the machinery ot the grain OK.
change acts as a delicate balance in the
operation OF the law Of supply and de-
mand.

the rate to that place was cent a hun
dred pounds less. All the commission
did in the readjustrnent at that time was
to raise the Kansas City rate TO 9.So cents
the equal Of the Omaha rate, without
taking into consideration the greater dis
tance 20 Kansas City.
Practically the same thing was done
with the rates from Crab orchard. Te-
cumseh and several other points where
the situation was much similar. rms
was some relief, but not satisfactory.
4 mortifying situation still standing
for example, Is the rate from Bracken
and Armour. These two towns are taken
as an Illustration for the simple reason
that Il chances that Bracken Is lS miles
from Kansas city. while Armour is eN-
actly 1S2 miles from Omaha Bracken' $
grain rate to Kansas City is s.S cents,
while Armour's grain rate to Omaha, the
same distance. Is lies cents.
Table Rock is III miles from Omaha.
Dawson is liz miles from Kansas City.
The Dawson grain rate to Kansas City is
9S5 cents. The Table Rock grain rate to
Omaha, the same distance, is ll.05 cents.
Fight only Partly Won.
Thus Omaha has i'm twelve years becoms
great primary grain market in spite of
the railroads and their discriminating
rates.
And one of the distressing things about
making a fght is that the railroads make
the reply that grain would not come to
Omaha anyway.
This was the plea made by the railroads
when the Grain exchange asked for more
favorable rates from the famous Gallatin
valley in Montana. The Burlington went
before the Interstate Commerce commits
sion and tried to show that the grain
from that valley had no inclination to
come to Omaha The railroad representa-
tive testified before the commission that
only four carloads had come from that
valley to Omaha in two years.
In spite of this testimony, however, the
commission ordered a readjustment, giv'
ing Omaha better opportunity In com
| petition with Minneapolis and Chicago
! The new rate went into effect August
| OF last year.
! The result was that instead of four cars
in two years, the Omaha Grain exchangt
got 1000 carloads of grain out OF thai
valley from the first OF August to the
first OF January. This is 1900 carloads II
/ five months, as against four carloads II
twenty-four months
Great Legitimate Trade Waiting.
This Montana case is illustrative of tn
volume of grain in legitimate Omaha ter
ritory that is waiting to come here IL tn
railroads will only give Omaha an evei
chance with other grain markets.
Kansas City is an old grain marlSe
The grain rates were established ther
long before Omaha had a grain market
When Omaha established a grain market
it had to take what it could get in tn
way of rates. There has been a per
sistent fight for better rate conditions
and the fight is to be kept up unit
Omaha gets what It is entitled to as
primary grain market.

but that there is stili some in hiding
was proved recently when Fuersten-
valid butcher advertised that he would
soil fat IN five-pound lots TO persons who
paid in gold. and in one-pound lots TO
those who paid in paper or silver
The advertisement caused a veritable
run on the butcher shop-so scarce is fat
and at the end OF the first day the
butcher was able TO turn in almost 1000
marks In gold. People came not only
from Fuerstcnwald but from neighboring
towns and villages with the gold they

Wincing Democrats Trying to Run
Away From the Record Of tho Ad-
minstration and to invegle the
Voters Down Rhetorical Bypaths,
All In the ThinIy Disguised Effort
to Change the Subject
When Mr.. Hughes criticiscs the rcc-
ord OF the Administration the spokcs-
men OF Mr. Wilson cry: What would
you have done" They forget that it
Is Mr. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead Of crying,
What would you have doneW They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them They are trying to run
away from the record Of the Admins
tratlon and induce the people to fol-
low them down some bypath Of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in tho effort to
change the subject
by their fruits ye shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor Of New York he did not pay
political debts by filing the public
Offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after he
entered office. AS Governor, he did
not resort to brave and beautiful
sistcnt deeds. He was careful In his
use Of words, but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve He was not q
rhctOrician, he was not q fattercr, he
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side
Mr.. Wilson'S sDOkesmen seek to d.
vert attention from the attacks Mr.
Hughes Is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him,
"What would you do| They are un-
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
arc recalling to the memory Of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor Of New
York. 1t was then that he first said
public office shall not be q private
snap under my administration, and
made performance square with prom
ise. There IS this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr.
Wilson: Hughes means what he
says SO it Is that the campaign Is
really contest OF character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.
