work CT the government agent is
merely to bring prospective Ne
braska buyers in touch with the
western situation, men who want a
total Of $4,000 head have written
directly to him.
Thomas Quinn Of North Platte

his neighbors will take 10000 head

Erickson wants at least 5000 head.
A Long Pine man wants $50 head.

braska State Board of Agriculture
says that bumper crop of wild
hay is assured. The second crop of
alfalfa promises to be large, the
bulletin says, the yield of clover is
exceptionally good, and the condi-
ton of pastures remains excellent.
One Montana rancher has ,sked
Mr.. Heard to help him find 500 tons
of hay Immediately. With hay he
hopes to carry his stock over until
rain comes and pastures green up
again.
Mr.. Heard sent letters to men,
bers of the Nebraska Stock Grow

RESIGNATION OF
VIcTOR WILSON
EXPECTED SOON
Railway Commissioner Gives
" Small Salary as Main
4 Reason; Has Other
Grievances.

Lincoln, July bit Is probable
that Railway Commissioner Victor
E. Wilson will resign and 60 bach
to the practice Of his profession a.
lawyer banker.
When asked by the Bee CORE
spondent if the rumor that he wa.
going to resign was true, Mr.. Viii.
son said that he had not definitely
made up his mind, but was Of the
opinion now that he would.
Asked to give his reasons he said
that there were many. First, the
salary paid was inadequate to the
work which had to be done. 1.-The
salary now is $1,000 a year." said
tic commissioner. "Why few
years ago when I held the appoint
i've position of bank examiner l was
palu 1000 year and when / made
comparison then with now and the
prices | have to pay for the neces-
saries OF life, find that am receiv-
ing just about $1,000 year salary.
| can make more in my private bust
ness and not have campaign ex-
penses to pay either"
Work Amounts to Little.
He said that another reason was
that after the commission had made
Investigations, going into the very
heart OF things, after they had gone
into the evidence, the conditions,
cost. expense and all of that, the
matter would be taken to the
courts, and as far as the railway
commission was concerned their
work amounted to very little, if
their findings were not to be con-
sidered final.
Still another thing which is caus-
ing the commissioner to make up
his mind that the Office is long
way from. being = desirable job he
put as follows:
Ever since the United States
railway administration and the tel
egraph and telephone administra-
ton were created, it has been ap-
parent that both these agencies
have been bent on destroying state
COHtlO anu lCSuldtiOl Va u dhSPOA
tation and wire service and center
ing everything in the hands of the
federal government. This commits
sion has been in a constant strug-
gle with them to preserve the rights
of the public in this state and have
been repeatedly overridden. The
recent decision of the United States
supreme court virtually breaks
down the last vestige of authority
formerly had by state commissions
and even ties the hands of state leg
islatures.
Show Same Tendency.
"The Interstate Commerce com
mission shows the same tendency
and appears to have in mind the
view of becoming sole and supreme
in the power of dealing with trans
portation and like matters. The
National Railway commission and
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion appear to have been working
together to take over the power
which has heretofore properly be-
longed to the state"
Mr.. Wilson censures the Nebraska
delegation in both branches of con-
gress for allowing this to be done,
and says they will have to stand
partly responsible,

True ttappIness.

Edmund Burke said: Taking the
whole view of life it is more safe to
live under the jurisdiction of severe
and steady reason than under the en-
pire Of indulgent but capricious fash
ION" It is not likely that Burke's
doctrine is much followed in these
DAYS of excitement and pleasure.
There is a strong revolt against "se-
we're and steady reason" whenever
one looks about him. Pleasure seems
to be the dominant side in all the
activities which one encounters. Hap
piness is not understood and really
it is the only good. A man who Is not
happy has gone astray; he is not re-
liglOus, nor educated. nor patriotic,
nor helpful to society. His body Is
taking a long journey and leaving his
soul behind. A world of materialism
does not understand this. There Is
much regret behind our sensual joys.
Burke understood this better than we
do. Lives are better built on the idea
he expresses.-Ohio State Journal.

ITS GLORY BUILT ON SAND
Once Famous Shrine in the kashmIr
Valley, India, Today Pathetic
in Its Decay.

Pondrinthan is a deserted ana
crumbling temple in the pleasant
Kashmir valley in India. Its tate Is
an example of the oblivion that comes
+o those who worship false gods
another proof of the heetlng glory VI
kings who build unwisely.
Long ago Pandrinthan stood IN the
heart of a splendid city-the Srlnagar
of history and story. A great king
built the temple walls and planted
tho willow trees on the shores OF the
lake II was the court of Naga, the
snake god. Thousands of dark-faceu
men and women crossed the tiny Dlt
of water to lay their offerings ana
worship at the shrine. .
The great king died a thousand
wears ago and gradually his city mas
crumbled into dust. Its magnihcence
is gone. The tottering temple and the
willow trees are the only reminders
of the glory of the past.
The scene is eloquent of thousand
years of neglect. The waters OF the
holy lake are stagnate and black with
slime. The ancient temple is eaten
with decay. The murmur Of the Wlnu
among the aged willows suggests the
echo of the chant the priests used TO
drOne before the altar. The stiffness
and desolatiOn remind one of the ad-
mOnitiOn. Let there be no other gods

POLL Of LEGISLATURE IS
BEING TAKEN FOR SUFFRAGE
WOMEN OF STATE ANXIOUS TO
GET DELAWARE IN LINE.
Enfranchisement of Women Sure to
Come and Delaware Legislature
Must See Handwriting on WalI'

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw once made
wager that the women of the
United States would be enfranchised
sooner than the women of Turkey. If
she loses her "bet" the fault will not
lie at the door of the men of the
Sixty-sixth Congress, who have done
their best to right the injustices of
the past but rather to those persons,
who, though realizing that the vote
must come eventually to the women
of every State, yet are willing to let
their own State go in the class with
"the old cows tail" and delay the evil
moment as long as possible. A poll
is being taken by the members of
the Delaware Legislature as to how
each member stands with regard to
ratification of the Susan B. Anthony
Constitutional Amendment and with
results, so far, extremely gratifying
to advocates of Equal Suffrage. For
though the entrance of women into
politics may have seemed a calamity
in ante-bellum days, no one who
watched the work done by the women
through the war can not conscien-
tiOusly claim that when women goes
outside that so-called "wOmen's
sphere" of which sentimentalists are
everlasting prating, she has in any
way degraded herself. 1t is only
those who are blind indeed, who do
yet understand that it is not that
women are asking to push aside the
men in order to make places for
themselves for one can readily see
that there are necessarily many things
with regard to laws and the making
of laws with which the mind of man
is better able to cope than a woman's,
but it is also equally true that in max
ing these laws which govern not only
men but women as well there must be
many things which need a woman's
point of view to make the justice COM
plete.

Another remarkable statement to be
added to the thousands already gwen,

that have been derived from the use Of
Tanlac in long standing cases of rheu-

The Commercial club has sent a tele-
gram 10 Representative Sinnott, whose
