COMPETITION AFTER THE WAR.

In the recent campaign not much was said
by supporters of Mr. Wilson about the i'm
portance of preparation in this country to meet
foreign competition after the war Apparent
" they and Mr.. Wilson believed that we had
little to fear from commercial and industrial
rivalry abroad. But now some of them are ex-
pressing other and different views.
Highly significant is the statement of James
Kelley, editor of the Chicago Herald who has
recently returned from a visit to the capitals of
the belligerent nations. Mr.. Kelley was one of
those who saw much in the Wilson program to
commend and he boosted for the presidents
reelection with all the ardor of an original
Wilson man. As Golfers says: eff President
Wilson had the temperament the lack Of imagi-
nation, and other qualities of President Cleve-
land. for example, he would probably today be
standing on the historic democratic ground Of
tariff for revenue only, instead of being, as
he now is, in favor Of protective TARIFF Mr..
Kelley sees the oncoming of the clash of COM
merce and urges the president to appoint mem
bers of the tariff comission at once. The tariff

! OMAHA, Neb., Dec 1.-THE SEN
sation of the week in Omaha is the
trial OF the conspirators of the wild
horse fraud which has deceived 2
number of innocent victims in several
western states. The United States
district court is prosecuting certain
ones of the company who have been
using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. 1t is amusing and pitiful to
read the testimony OF the victims,
who are good citizens who, being
| Integrity of their fellow beings. But
really it is a little strange that intel
ligent persons would part with sec
lions OF good Nebraska lands for the
uncertain values of wild horses roam
| ing over the deserts OF Arizona. One
man contracted for seventeen hun
dred invisible ponies, and another
bargained for four car loads of very
wild animals upon very profitable
terms to the conspirators. Land pir-
ates continue to flourish and next
week new scheme will appear.
One morning the Omaha Bee re-
ported that certain articles had been
stolen from grocery store In the
city the night previous. The report
specified that fifty nice big potatoes
were taken. Some common products
of the farm are outranking the yellow
fruit of California. Oranges were
not stolen.
A friend who is interested in land
values east of La Platte, where the
Missouri river is dealing in real
estate transfers., asks me what
think of the situation there. Well,
the situation is exceedingly large in
the territory for a couple of miles
north of where the-Platte joins its
clear waters to those of the angry
Missouri. My easy Judgment in the
subject is that the Missouri river has
invaded the district upon determi-
nation to make large conquests and
to hold them until it takes notion
to go visiting across in new field
few miles south. The Missouri
river has fancy of it's own to go
around on little excursions and con-
vince several farmers that their
farms belong to, not themselves, but
to the Missouri river.

FBLINES' OBSERVATIONS

across the continent. or all enter
prises in the progressive business of
the new world, the Railway system
excels. - -
On Saturday made a Journey out
to the Florence district. where the
city water works Is located. This
enterprise is situated near the Mis-
souri, river The valley on the Iowa
side is very broad. and the bluffs
appear smoky, and far away. ihe
river formerly occupied a route far
to the east, where now are large
fields of corn. A friend pointed to
the little valley where the Mormons
camped for two on three winters fol-
lowing their exodus from Nauvoo.
Their wagon-worn trails may be seen
in places yet, where they pursued the
journey to the promised land in 1886
and 1847. Ihe bluffs of the Missouri
on the Nebraska side are prominent
and rather of an individual character.
The first geological report OF Mis-
souri, contains engravings of some of
the beautiful bluffs just below where
the Platte enters the Missouri. The
reservoir of the water works is of
some acres in extent. Here the
water, pumped up from the Missouri,
is given time to settle, and Is then
subjected to process of publication.
The pumping machinery Is immense
and perfect. One revolution of the
large fly wheel draws seven hundred
gallons of water into the processing
department FOR chemical treatment.
Civilization charges high rates for
benefits. But that's the way we are
travelling, that is. in some parts of
our land. Other sections of the world
are now engaged in a highly civilized
but degraded conflict which for I'M
just and inhuman proceedings out
rank all the savage warfare OF all
the heather tribes of the world.
At a charity hospital in Omaha, on
Tuesday, the soul of little Peter
Selwyn, g, Sioux boy. passed to ans

IAN invalid for two years, being sent
from his home at Gregory, South Da-
kota, for treatment. During his years
at the charity home, Peter continued
to wear his war bonnet all decorated
in eagle feathers, which are the pride
of the North American Indians. With
bow and arrow, he was favorite
>of the white boys. At the home he
was called Little Chief. in honor of
his true Indian nature He WAS stoical
and brave, and said he was ready to
die. The city papers gave liberal
notice OF Little Chief. and his pass.

SHORTLY before Mr. Kelley made his appeal
to President Wilson, Ambassador Gerard adj
mitted that the United States must protect its
industries, it's manufacturers and It's working
men if it is to hold its own in after-war compe-
tition with England, Germany and other ma
tons. This has always been considered re-
publican doctrine, and it was rejected by the
other ma ior party advocates when the presl-
Dental and congressional campaign was, on.
The department of justice at Washington
should be interested in one method OF protec-
ton that Mr. Gerard had in mind and to which
he gave unqualified approval If our peace and
prosperity are to continue, he said, manufactur-
ers and exporters must be allowed to reduce
their expenses by pooling their interests in the
campaign for foreign markets. This doctrine
has been preached by businessmen throughout
the campaign period of governmental activity
in the prosecution of corporations for doing
what must be done if competition with great
foreign combinations is to be successful. Mr..
Gerard knows a good deal about European,
particularly German, business methods, and he
has no illusions concerning the competition the
United States will have to meet after the war
The price of bread in Sacramento, Calf, re-
Gently raised to and II cents a loaf, will be re-
duced to the former scale of 5 and 10 cents
cording to decision by the Sacramento Master
Bakers association. Unsatisfactory condi-
tons which arose when the prices were in
creased and the falling off in consumption of
bread are among the reasons assigned for the
reduction. However, the Sacramento bakers
need not despair. They can try the experimnt
of reducing the size of the loaves while still
selling them at the old prices. It is being done
elsewhere and in many localities the lump of
baked dough has assumed the proportions of
a breakfast roll.
