One of the dangers of democratism which this country has not wholly es- caped -- Is .a consequence of the wide- spread assumption that 'the natural eauality between men signifies that all' men are equally able to do all things. This view, it is true, has been often borne out by the amazing saccess of Americans, with no evi- dent special training, In the discharge of public duties. Much good7 work has been done by men who have been elected or appointed to positions requiring great special skill, not be- cause they had shown that skill, but because they were eminent citizens or useful party men or men of assert- ive genius who forged ahead to- - the work that their instincts rightly bade them seek. As the nation grows and the work of officials becomes more complex, there is increasing demand in all departments for experts. In response to this demand have come the reorganization of the consular service, the assemblage at Washing- ton of a great number of scientific ex- perts, the tendency in the post office and other departments to leave com- petent servants undisturbed by shifts of party power, and the recognition everywhere that men in public occu- pations like those in private business must be engaged and paid according to their ability. To have this ability they must be trained in their work. Pepartment heads in Washington are calling for experts, and asking In- creased pay for those who have proved themselves expert, says Youth's Companion. Friends of good government in large cities are pro- testing against the conduct of city business by unbusinesslike men, against accounting departments under men who do not understand book- keeping, sewer departments under men who know nothing of sewers. The improvement of all units of American government nation, state and town depends on the training and adequate payment of men who can do the public work. $ Hands Across the Sea. The only good result of the amaz-fn- g blunder of the governor of Jamai- ca in rejecting the very practical offers of American assistance in re- lieving the results of the earthquake in that island is the opportunity given for renewed expression of friendship from the people of Great Britain. The British are much more severe upon Gov. Swettenham than are the Ameri- cans, the latter being disposed to laugh off the affair as a cranky ebul- lition of an overwrought adminstra-tor- . But in London and throughout the British empire the humiliation of the governor's act and of the as- tounding manner in which it was committed is keenly felt, and there is haste to assure the people of the United States that the sentiment of the Jamaican governor does not rep- resent the feeling of the people of Britain, who admire and appreciate the generous offers of American as- sistance and who deprecate any inter- ruption of the good feeling between the countries. With Secretary Root fraternizing with the Canadian au- thorities and with England raising a great cry of protest against the Ja- maican governor's churlishness, re- marks the Troy Times, the unneces- sary question. What effect has the English-Japanes- e alliance upon the British attitude toward the United States? answers itself. The hands across the sea seem still to be clasped, and with no knife up the sleeve. Blood is still thicker than Jamaica spirits, particularly when the 'latter are sour. It is probable that the oldest and most compact book of reference in the world certainly the one most consulted by the great ones of the earth is the "Almanach de Gotha," of which the publishers have just is- sued the one hundred and forty-fourt-h annual edition, consisting of just 1,200 closely packed pages. Its pictorial honors are this time accord- ed to the kings and queens of Den- mark and Norway, and admirable por- traits they are. Prom this authentic publication we learn, says the London Chronicle, that the British people are living not under a Guelph dynasty, but a "maison de wfiich is a delicate question for the genealogists. But the editor of the omniscient red-boun- d "Almanach" rarely makes a mistake. The Chinese on the Rand were al- lowed so much opium, the maximum month being two pounds. This would suffice to stock an ordinary Chemist's shop for a year. Two pounds of opium represents 27,968 average medicinal doses. It Is said that the new shah of Persia has determined to remove a few heads in osder to bring about re- form. The Persian method of remov- ing heads is a little more unpleasant than the Andrew Jackson way. ,A comment on the way In which modern enterprise has brought the improvements of civilization within the reach of nearly everyone is the fact that a woman who died lately in Jersey City in her nineties won Came as a remarkable person because she never in her life had ridden on a trolley or a railroad car.

That the repub- licans have got themselves into aa embarrassing position over this nt rate' bill no one denies. Each member of the joint committee which drafted the bill agreed to support it. and to fight any and all amendments to it When the amendment to permit the railroads to go before the railroad commission on the matter was offered, few of the majority knew it was com ing and hence it was lost Now some of the republicans believe to carry the amendment will be to place in jeop ardy all the other joint committee bills, for the reason if one committee bill is amended opponents of the plat- form measures will have an excuse to attempt to amend the other committee bills. A big fight will be the result, and it might terminate in the state- wide primary bill being seriously dam- aged and it might hurt the terminal taxation bill. Professor Howard of the state uni- versity, head of the department of in- stitutional history and sociology,, was one of the speakers before the senate committee on judiciary, in favor of the passage of H. R. No. 9 or S. F. No. 50. the child labor bills. Senator King of Polk presided as chairman of the committee. Many men and women, some of the latter club women of Lin- coln, were present to favor the bill. A large number of members of the senate and some of the houseTlistened to the addresses. The speech of Pro- fessor Howard made a profound im- pression. He reviewed the history of legislation in favor of children, be- ginning in 1802, in England, to the last bill of the kind, one that was passed in 1903. He told of the condi- tions that once existed, told hair-raisin- g stories of abuse and torture, and narrated the changes that had been brought about by public sentiment and laws, some of the latter having been in force in Massachusetts, New York and Illinois for many years with marked success. Governor Sheldon's scheme for the local taxation of mortgages, either do- mestic or foreign, scored a signal vic- tory in the house, when it was re- ported by the committee of the whole for third reading by a decided major- ity. The bill provides for the taxation of all real estate mortgages in the county where the land on which the mortgage is held lies. At the present time mortgages are taxed as personal property so long as they are recorded In Nebraska and not assigned to some- one outside the state. Repairs on the capitol building and grounds are to be the subject of in- quiry by the house committee on pub- lic lands and buildings. A resolution by Dodge of Douglas condemning the way the building is being kept up, was passed and authority was given the committee to ascertain the cost of needed repairs. Mr. Dodge said the capitol was a disgrace to the state in its present condition. He was not in favor of building anew until the struc- ture fell down, but he said he was in favor of doing some repairing. A movement to revive the county option bill, killed in the senate, has come to light and is being aided and abetted by some senators who voted against the measure. The plan is to have the house amend the measure providing for election once every four or five years instead of every two years and providing that the county election shall govern the entire coun- ty until the next election. As tne bill was drawn it allowed cities and vil- lages to vote no license even after the county had gone wet A bill of importance to the 6chool districts of that section of the state in which the revenues do not permit of a seven months' school a year was in- troduced in the house by Doran, Henry, Hill, Metzger and Wilson. The bill provides that the state shall come to the financial assistance of those school districts which, though levying the maximum rate of taxes, cannot maintain a seven months' school, so that every school district in the state may have school each year for that length of time. A measure important to all the peo- ple of the state was introduced in the house by Wilson of Custer county. This bill provides the state board of assessment shall use the unit system :n assesing railroad property and the asessment hall be distributed accord- ing to mileage without regard' to main lines or branch lines. Should the "bill be signed by the governor after the terminal taxation bill is signed, it is thought by some the measure would nullify that measure. The railroads had their innings he-for- e the house committee on railroads on the 12th on the prposed nt pas- senger rate bill, and of the four cor- porations represented, each argued that the rate would not be compensa- tory and each said not only would inch a rate be detrimental to the rev- enues of the roads, but harmful to the state in general, while P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic manager of the Bur- lington, told the committee the first step his road would take should the bill become a law would be a test in the courts. The senate passed the bill increas-- j ing the salary of the commandant of the Milford home for soldiers and providing that such officer shall be an ex-uni- soldier and that he may be removed from office at the pleasure of the governor. Bailiffs of the district court of Doug- las county want more monejr They are bow paid $75 a month and several tt them were at the capitol to get the Douglas delegation interested ia a bill which will increase the salary to $87.50 a month. ABk. W b? VMs'nT'lB'VVt ar'Bnv The state wide primary law pledged to the people by the republican, demo- cratic and populist state conventions, will be introduced into the legislature the first of this week. The hill has been blocked out by the subcommittees and sent to the joint committee. The bill gs prepared in the rough provides that the general election officers shall be the officers of the primary, the same machinery being used at both elections. It has been decided that in- stead of electing the precinct and county committees that task will fall to the lot of the nominees, it having been agreed that under the latter plan people will be selected for those im- portant places who will have some in- terest in the election and who will not leave all of the work to the chairman H and secretary. Senator Gibson's employers lia- bility bill and Senator Thomas' biU al- lowing street railway companies to own securities in and own, operate and lease interurban companies and inter-urba- n lines passed the senate without debate. The Gibson bill did not re- ceive a negative vote. It relates only, to tlB3 more hazardous occupations on railroads and provides negligence by a fellow servant shall not be a bar to recovery by an injured employe or by relatives of an employe killed, by ac- cident. Contributory negligence ont the part of the Injured is left to the Jury, which is allowed to scale the damages in the verdict according to the proportion of negligence. It also provides the acceptance of insurance money or relief department policy hereafter taken out .shall not be a bar to recovery from the company. The child labor bill was reported back favorably to the senate, but a fight is scheduled in favor of the farm- -, era. Tne bill was amended in tne com mittee changing the hours during which children will be permitted to work, from 7 o'clock in the morning until 7 at night, to 6 o'clock in the morning until 8 at night This was done to permit the milking of cows and to do the chores on the farms. Mr. Fries of Howard, a member of the minority party, succeeded in get- ting recommended for passage his bill providing a tax of. $3 to be levied against persons entitled to vote who do not avail themselves of the oppor- tunity. The bill was amended to ex- empt from the law those who are kept away from the polls by unavoidable circumstances, though a statement to this effect must be filed with the county treasurer or the tax will be levied. The senate on the 12th spent three-quarte- rs of an hour listening to a spe- cial program in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday and then adjourned! out of respect for the day. Rev. I. F. Roach of Lincoln delivered the ad dress before the senate and eloquently eulogized the life and influence of the martyred president. The Oberlin quar- tet sang the "Battle Hymn of the Re- public" and responded to an encore with "America." The services were impressive, though brief. The joint committee appointed to draft a statewide primary law has concluded its work and the bill will be introduced the first of the week. Pat- rick, the fusion member of the com- mittee, objected to the filing fee and may make a fight to have it stricken out by the legislature. The committee generally is pleased with the measure. It is a compilation of the Brown-Dodge-McMulI- en bills. Senator King's free high school bill was recommended for passage by the senate. Itallows any child living in a; district which does not provide a full high school course to take the missing grades at some high school in the state. The tuition, which is fixed at 75 cents a week, is raised by taxation in his district The senate displayed a disposition to push the railway commission bill through as rapidly as possible when it voted to take the bill from the stand- ing committee on railroads, to which it had been referred, and place it di- rectly on general file. This will ad- vance it more rapidly than the regular course. 8. F. 227, by Goodrich of Fillmore, providing that persons convicted of murder in the first degree shall be placed in the penitentiary and not put to death except by order of the gov- ernor, and in any event not less than one year after date of conviction, was indefinitely-postpone- d by the senate. The three uniform divorce bills rec- ommended last fall by a meeting of divorce experts were introduced into the senate. The main bill changes the general divorce law, making it more stringent Sentiment for the most stringent anti-pas- s law possible has developed to such an extent in the house that the exceedingly stringent bill drawn by the joint committee is likely to prove inadequate to meet present ideas. In its place a substitute bill will be offered that has been prepared by Representatives McMulleri, Jenni-so- n, Hamer, Cone and Quackenbush. It cuts off everyone from the free list save railroad employes, caretakers. of live stock and railroad attorneys and physicians, who are on an nnnpi sal- ary of at least $1,000 each. One of the first bills to receive the approval of Governor Sheldon, aside from the appropriation bills, was S. F. No. 28, by Root of Cass. It is said by some to be unconstitutional because it amends a section of the Cobbey stat- ute that is' believed to be unconstitu- tional: The Kearney Normal school people have started a letter writing lobby and many letters have been received by legislators boosting for the appro- priation to double the capacity of the normal school at Kearney.

IT MAKES WEALTH F0I ALL Buy sf the Man Whs Will Buy of You and Your Dsllar Will Come Back Again., (Copyrisht by Alfred C. Clark.) As on the western prairies in pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire, kindled to prepare his frugal meal or to warm him from the biting wind, fanned into renewed vigor, spread, first on the tiny blade of grass to neighboring blades, and thence to the tangled masses all around until the broad plains were one vast sea of seathing flame destroying all before it so the mail order business, started in the eastern cities on a small scale, fanned by the breeze of judicious ad- vertising, has spread until it now cov- ers the length and breadth of our land and threatens disaster to the smaller dealers everywhere. The note of warning has been sounded, the light is visible in the sky, and yet, appar- ently oblivious to it all, the ones whose safety is being endangered, heed not the alarm nor the signal of disaster. The country merchant and the farmer, whose combined efforts can stem the tide of destruction that threatens to engulf them, are alone unconscious of the approaching devas- tation, that like a great sea of con- suming flame, Is threatening to engulf them. The country merchant and the farm- - j er the simple, honest dwellers in the rural districts, are the victims this gigantic peril is reaching out for to fill its rapacious maw. Each year its grasp becomes firmer, its power greater. Only a few short years ago the catalogue house was a thing un-nea- rd of, today it stands as one of America's greatest Institutions. And with great fortune comes great pow- er, so now the mail order business may well be classed among the powers of the nation. Its efforts are already being felt at the national capital, h. rnBsssKJMKKOT 453 wtS! if,, The Endless Chain It Keeps the where our laws are made, and unless a check is administered the passage of the parcels post bill will mark one of its greatest triumphs. But let us look at a few of the simple reasons why the farmer should patronize the home dealer. In the first place their interests are cen- tered in each other. Every season of plenty on the farm means a prosper- ous year to the country merchant. So In the prosperity of the farmer does the. country merchant expect to gain. The farmer finds, therefore, in the country dealer, a staunch and loyal friend and a defender of his rights. They pay taxes together, live side by side, their children play and go to school together. When the crops are poor or misfortune comes, to whom does the farmer look? Not to the mail order magnate, but to his neigh- bor, the country merchant How often does the mall order concern take any Interest in the political ques- tions or legal measures beneficial to the farmer? Yet with their bright-hue- d catalogue of pictured "bargains" they reach out an open hand for the farmer's hard earned dollar. And does he get value received? Not often. The first order he may, but that Is only a bait The business is not founded on principles, it is not builded on honorable methods, its mighty walls are erected on graft The goods are shop-wor- n or shoddy, or perhaps many kinds of goods have defects so cunningly concealed that the naked eye can scarcely see a dif- ference between these articles and those of a much higher grade. You are expected to send cash with the order or have It ready when the goods arrive with the big C. O. D. mark on the package. Your crop fail- ure, or shortage of money doesn't In- terest the mail order house, your credit with them is good only so long as your pocket book is filled. Your order Is made out and you pay for goods you never saw, put up and se- lected by men you do not know. If these goods do not prove to be worth the money, 4f the shoes do not wear well, or the suit Is shoddy goods, will the mail order firm make them good? Not often. Yet the local dealer will do this. He knows his honesty is his best drawing card. So much for the advantage of dealing with honest men, and not with grafters. Still other issues present them-aes- s sub-statio- ns or branch houses selves in this connection. With the rapid growth of the mail order bus!-ar- e being established. These large firms are dally reaching out for new sections of trade. What wiU be the result along this line? With the growth of the catalogue house comes the death of. the rural mercantile trade. Let them once destroy the country merchant and the markets of the world will he in the hands of a few wealthy capitalists. Their branch Besses will appear la all the country towss aad the farmer will no longer be Independent. His friend, the conn- - try dealer, who through competition was forced to pay the value of the' butter, eggs, etc, will be a thing-o- f the past, and la his place will appear the fat, gloating face of the capitalist. in whose benumbed conscience there is no thought of pity, whose ''breast contains Instead of a heart a great lump of cold stony gold, whose one ufiibitlon is to build up a greater for- tune than the world has ever seen, and who cares naught for the tears or trials, woes or -- weeping of his victims so long as die can squeeze a little more of the coveted glittering treasure from him. Again, the dollar spent with the local dealer stays In the community where it blesses the spender over and over again. The merchant pays it to the butcher for meat the butcher gets his,bread of the baker and therefore drops the dollar into the baker's till, the baker pays it to the miller for flour, and the latter buys his grain from the farmer, so the dollar once more jingles merrily in the farmer's trousers pocket .But spend it with the mail order house and it is gone never to return. It goes to build up the great commercial interests of New York or Chicago. Does it pay the farmer to send his money to help beautify and build up these great cities? Has he not more interest in beautifying and building up his own section of the country? If not be should. If a place is good enough for a man to live in and to make his money in. it is good enough for him to spend his money in. Who helps build the churches, school houses, streets, bridges, etc.?' Does the mail order house help? Will they give a dollar to educate the farmer's children, or donate anything to support the farm- er's widow or orphans? Do they help to. pay the taxes, or add anything to bring comfort or necessary improve- ments in the country places? Then why should the farmer patronize them? By actual test it has been found that the same goods can be pro- cured as cheaply, if not -- at more rea- sonable prices, at home. Trade with your neighbor, whose interests are your interests, whose hand is always ready to assist you in time of trouble. Patronize those who patronize you. Use the flashy catalogue of the mail order house to help kindle the kitchen fire, and keep your money at home where it will benefit you and yosr Dollar at Home Where It Belongs. neighbors over and over again. The farmer's dollar, earned by honest toil, should not be added to the blood money of these great mail order cor- porations. The farmer must join the local merchant and the country editor in battling this great peril that is creeping, creeping onward with great rapidity, and unless these forces are combined and their efforts prove in- creasing, the day is not far distant when the chance will be gone forever the power will be too great to con- quer. IVER H. SMITH. Snakes Reared for Their Skins. The idea that snakes are useless creatures and should be exterminated wherever found, will have to pass away, says the Shoe Trade Journal, as in Australia they are now being systematically reared for the sake of their skins, which have a considera- ble commercial value in London, Paris and New York. Snakeskin is the fashionable material for slippers, belts, bags, purses, jewel boxes, card cases, dressing-tabl- e accessories, etc. Rabbit trappers supplement their means considerably by catching young snakes and extracting their polnson-ou- s fangs. The blacks are also ex- pert snake catchers. To them the snake is an agreeable article of diet Artistic Building Saved. At Arezzo, the little Tosco-Roma- c city, famous for the birth of the musician monk Guido and of the poet Petrarch, the very modern savings bank has moved into the old Alber-got- ti Bacci palace, after having neatly and scrupulously restored it at no lit- tle expense and with a great deal of artistic taste and discrimination, so that haply what might have been a disaster is this time a most felicitous revival of ancient glory and a model oi reconstruction. Bone Turned Into Opal. At a meeting of the Geological soci- ety of London there was exhibited by Prof. Seely the upper bone of the leg, or paddle, of a plesiosaurus which had been almost turned into opal, the mineral having replaced the substance of the bone. The fossil was found in an opal mine in New South Wales. The plesiosaurus was a long-necke- d Inhabitant of the sea in the age of the great reptiles, or Jurassic time and sometimes attained a length of 30 feet. The Fortune Tempted. A wen known British nobleman was actually engaged to Miss Coutts, but on her challenging him one day wheth- er it was her personality or her great fortune which appealed to him he frankly acknowledged that although he was much attached to her, her vast property had been his special induce- ment in betrothing himself.

spread assumption that 'the naturaleauality between men signifies thatall' men are equally able to do allthings. This view, it is true, hasbeen often borne out by the amazingsaccess of Americans, with no evi-

dent special training, In the dischargeof public duties. Much good7 workhas been done by men who havebeen elected or appointed to positionsrequiring great special skill, not be-

cause they had shown that skill, butbecause they were eminent citizensor useful party men or men of assert-ive genius who forged ahead to-- thework that their instincts rightly badethem seek. As the nation grows andthe work of officials becomes morecomplex, there is increasing demandin all departments for experts. Inresponse to this demand have comethe reorganization of the consularservice, the assemblage at Washing-ton of a great number of scientific ex-

perts, the tendency in the post officeand other departments to leave com-petent servants undisturbed by shiftsof party power, and the recognitioneverywhere that men in public occu-pations like those in private businessmust be engaged and paid accordingto their ability. To have this abilitythey must be trained in their work.Pepartment heads in Washington arecalling for experts, and asking In-

creased pay for those who haveproved themselves expert, saysYouth's Companion. Friends of goodgovernment in large cities are pro-testing against the conduct of citybusiness by unbusinesslike men,against accounting departments undermen who do not understand book-keeping, sewer departments undermen who know nothing of sewers.The improvement of all units ofAmerican government nation, stateand town depends on the trainingand adequate payment of men whocan do the public work.

Hands Across the Sea.The only good result of the amaz-fn- g

blunder of the governor of Jamai-ca in rejecting the very practicaloffers of American assistance in re-

lieving the results of the earthquakein that island is the opportunity givenfor renewed expression of friendshipfrom the people of Great Britain. TheBritish are much more severe uponGov. Swettenham than are the Ameri-cans, the latter being disposed tolaugh off the affair as a cranky ebul-lition of an overwrought adminstra-tor- .

But in London and throughoutthe British empire the humiliation ofthe governor's act and of the as-

tounding manner in which it wascommitted is keenly felt, and thereis haste to assure the people of theUnited States that the sentiment ofthe Jamaican governor does not rep-resent the feeling of the people ofBritain, who admire and appreciatethe generous offers of American as-sistance and who deprecate any inter-ruption of the good feeling betweenthe countries. With Secretary Rootfraternizing with the Canadian au-

thorities and with England raising agreat cry of protest against the Ja-maican governor's churlishness, re-

marks the Troy Times, the unneces-sary question. What effect has theEnglish-Japanes- e alliance upon theBritish attitude toward the UnitedStates? answers itself. The handsacross the sea seem still to beclasped, and with no knife up thesleeve. Blood is still thicker thanJamaica spirits, particularly when the'latter are sour.

It is probable that the oldest andmost compact book of reference inthe world certainly the one mostconsulted by the great ones of theearth is the "Almanach de Gotha,"of which the publishers have just is-

But the editor of theomniscient red-boun- d "Almanach"rarely makes a mistake.

bill and the anti-pas- s biR a specialorder for Tuesday afternoon, and theaction of the republicans on this mea-

sure will be fully determined by a rul-

ing before the time. That the repub-

licans have got themselves into aaembarrassing position over this nt

rate' bill no one denies. Each memberof the joint committee which draftedthe bill agreed to support it. and tofight any and all amendments to itWhen the amendment to permit therailroads to go before the railroadcommission on the matter was offered,few of the majority knew it was coming and hence it was lost Now someof the republicans believe to carry theamendment will be to place in jeopardy all the other joint committeebills, for the reason if one committeebill is amended opponents of the plat-form measures will have an excuse toattempt to amend the other committeebills. A big fight will be the result,and it might terminate in the state-wide primary bill being seriously dam-

aged and it might hurt the terminaltaxation bill.

Professor Howard of the state uni-

versity, head of the department of in-

stitutional history and sociology,, wasone of the speakers before the senatecommittee on judiciary, in favor ofthe passage of H. R. No. 9 or S. F. No.50. the child labor bills. Senator Kingof Polk presided as chairman of thecommittee. Many men and women,some of the latter club women of Lin-

coln, were present to favor the bill.A large number of members of thesenate and some of the houseTlistenedto the addresses. The speech of Pro-fessor Howard made a profound im-

pression. He reviewed the history oflegislation in favor of children, be-

ginning in 1802, in England, to thelast bill of the kind, one that waspassed in 1903. He told of the condi-tions that once existed, told hair-raisin- g

stories of abuse and torture, andnarrated the changes that had beenbrought about by public sentiment andlaws, some of the latter having been inforce in Massachusetts, New York andIllinois for many years with markedsuccess.

Governor Sheldon's scheme for thelocal taxation of mortgages, either do-

mestic or foreign, scored a signal vic-tory in the house, when it was re-

ported by the committee of the wholefor third reading by a decided major-ity. The bill provides for the taxationof all real estate mortgages in thecounty where the land on which themortgage is held lies. At the presenttime mortgages are taxed as personalproperty so long as they are recordedIn Nebraska and not assigned to some-one outside the state.

Repairs on the capitol building andgrounds are to be the subject of in-

quiry by the house committee on pub-lic lands and buildings. A resolutionby Dodge of Douglas condemning theway the building is being kept up, waspassed and authority was given thecommittee to ascertain the cost ofneeded repairs. Mr. Dodge said thecapitol was a disgrace to the state inits present condition. He was not infavor of building anew until the struc-ture fell down, but he said he was infavor of doing some repairing.

A movement to revive the countyoption bill, killed in the senate, hascome to light and is being aided andabetted by some senators who votedagainst the measure. The plan is tohave the house amend the measureproviding for election once every fouror five years instead of every twoyears and providing that the countyelection shall govern the entire coun-ty until the next election. As tne billwas drawn it allowed cities and vil-lages to vote no license even after thecounty had gone wet

A bill of importance to the 6chooldistricts of that section of the state inwhich the revenues do not permit ofa seven months' school a year was in-

troduced in the house by Doran,Henry, Hill, Metzger and Wilson. Thebill provides that the state shall cometo the financial assistance of thoseschool districts which, though levyingthe maximum rate of taxes, cannotmaintain a seven months' school, sothat every school district in the statemay have school each year for thatlength of time.

A measure important to all the peo-ple of the state was introduced in thehouse by Wilson of Custer county.This bill provides the state board ofassessment shall use the unit system:n assesing railroad property and theasessment hall be distributed accord-ing to mileage without regard' to mainlines or branch lines. Should the "billbe signed by the governor after theterminal taxation bill is signed, it isthought by some the measure wouldnullify that measure.

The railroads had their innings he-for- e

the house committee on railroadson the 12th on the prposed nt pas-senger rate bill, and of the four cor-porations represented, each arguedthat the rate would not be compensa-tory and each said not only wouldinch a rate be detrimental to the rev-enues of the roads, but harmful to thestate in general, while P. S. Eustis,passenger traffic manager of the Bur-lington, told the committee the firststep his road would take should thebill become a law would be a test inthe courts.

The senate passed the bill increas-- jing the salary of the commandant ofthe Milford home for soldiers andproviding that such officer shall be anex-uni- soldier and that he may beremoved from office at the pleasureof the governor.

The state wide primary law pledgedto the people by the republican, demo-cratic and populist state conventions,will be introduced into the legislaturethe first of this week. The hill hasbeen blocked out by the subcommitteesand sent to the joint committee. Thebill gs prepared in the rough providesthat the general election officers shallbe the officers of the primary, thesame machinery being used at bothelections. It has been decided that in-

stead of electing the precinct andcounty committees that task will fallto the lot of the nominees, it havingbeen agreed that under the latter planpeople will be selected for those im-portant places who will have some in-

terest in the election and who will notleave all of the work to the chairman H

and secretary.

Senator Gibson's employers lia-bility bill and Senator Thomas' biU al-

lowing street railway companies toown securities in and own, operate andlease interurban companies and inter-urba- n

lines passed the senate withoutdebate. The Gibson bill did not re-ceive a negative vote. It relates only,to tlB3 more hazardous occupations onrailroads and provides negligence bya fellow servant shall not be a bar torecovery by an injured employe or byrelatives of an employe killed, by ac-cident. Contributory negligence ontthe part of the Injured is left to theJury, which is allowed to scale thedamages in the verdict according tothe proportion of negligence. It alsoprovides the acceptance of insurancemoney or relief department policyhereafter taken out .shall not be a barto recovery from the company.

The child labor bill was reportedback favorably to the senate, but afight is scheduled in favor of the farm--,

era. Tne bill was amended in tne committee changing the hours duringwhich children will be permitted towork, from 7 o'clock in the morninguntil 7 at night, to 6 o'clock in themorning until 8 at night This wasdone to permit the milking of cowsand to do the chores on the farms.

Mr. Fries of Howard, a member ofthe minority party, succeeded in get-ting recommended for passage hisbill providing a tax of. $3 to be leviedagainst persons entitled to vote whodo not avail themselves of the oppor-tunity. The bill was amended to ex-

empt from the law those who are keptaway from the polls by unavoidablecircumstances, though a statement tothis effect must be filed with thecounty treasurer or the tax will belevied.

The senate on the 12th spent three-quarte- rs

of an hour listening to a spe-cial program in commemoration ofLincoln's birthday and then adjourned!out of respect for the day. Rev. I. F.Roach of Lincoln delivered the address before the senate and eloquentlyeulogized the life and influence of themartyred president. The Oberlin quar-tet sang the "Battle Hymn of the Re-public" and responded to an encorewith "America." The services wereimpressive, though brief.

The joint committee appointed todraft a statewide primary law hasconcluded its work and the bill will beintroduced the first of the week. Pat-rick, the fusion member of the com-mittee, objected to the filing fee andmay make a fight to have it strickenout by the legislature. The committeegenerally is pleased with the measure.It is a compilation of the Brown-Dodge-McMulI- en

bills.

Senator King's free high school billwas recommended for passage by thesenate. Itallows any child living in a;district which does not provide a fullhigh school course to take the missinggrades at some high school in thestate. The tuition, which is fixed at75 cents a week, is raised by taxationin his district

The senate displayed a dispositionto push the railway commission billthrough as rapidly as possible when itvoted to take the bill from the stand-ing committee on railroads, to whichit had been referred, and place it di-

rectly on general file. This will ad-

vance it more rapidly than the regularcourse.

Sentiment for the most stringentanti-pas- s law possible has developedto such an extent in the house thatthe exceedingly stringent bill drawnby the joint committee is likely toprove inadequate to meet presentideas. In its place a substitute billwill be offered that has been preparedby Representatives McMulleri, Jenni-so-n,

Hamer, Cone and Quackenbush.It cuts off everyone from the free listsave railroad employes, caretakers. oflive stock and railroad attorneys andphysicians, who are on an nnnpi sal-ary of at least $1,000 each.

One of the first bills to receive theapproval of Governor Sheldon, asidefrom the appropriation bills, was S. F.No. 28, by Root of Cass. It is said bysome to be unconstitutional because itamends a section of the Cobbey stat-ute that is' believed to be unconstitu-tional:

(Copyrisht by Alfred C. Clark.)As on the western prairies in

pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,kindled to prepare his frugal meal orto warm him from the biting wind,fanned into renewed vigor, spread,first on the tiny blade of grass toneighboring blades, and thence to thetangled masses all around until thebroad plains were one vast sea ofseathing flame destroying all beforeit so the mail order business, startedin the eastern cities on a small scale,fanned by the breeze of judicious ad-vertising, has spread until it now cov-ers the length and breadth of our landand threatens disaster to the smallerdealers everywhere. The note ofwarning has been sounded, the lightis visible in the sky, and yet, appar-ently oblivious to it all, the oneswhose safety is being endangered,heed not the alarm nor the signal ofdisaster. The country merchant andthe farmer, whose combined effortscan stem the tide of destruction thatthreatens to engulf them, are aloneunconscious of the approaching devas-tation, that like a great sea of con-suming flame, Is threatening to engulfthem.

The country merchant and the farm-- j

er the simple, honest dwellers in therural districts, are the victims thisgigantic peril is reaching out for tofill its rapacious maw. Each year itsgrasp becomes firmer, its powergreater. Only a few short years agothe catalogue house was a thing un-nea- rd

where our laws are made, and unlessa check is administered the passageof the parcels post bill will mark oneof its greatest triumphs.

But let us look at a few of thesimple reasons why the farmer shouldpatronize the home dealer. In thefirst place their interests are cen-

tered in each other. Every season ofplenty on the farm means a prosper-ous year to the country merchant. SoIn the prosperity of the farmer doesthe.country merchant expect to gain.The farmer finds, therefore, in thecountry dealer, a staunch and loyalfriend and a defender of his rights.They pay taxes together, live side byside, their children play and go toschool together. When the crops arepoor or misfortune comes, to whomdoes the farmer look? Not to themail order magnate, but to his neigh-bor, the country merchant Howoften does the mall order concerntake any Interest in the political ques-

tions or legal measures beneficial tothe farmer? Yet with their bright-hue- d

catalogue of pictured "bargains"they reach out an open hand for thefarmer's hard earned dollar. Anddoes he get value received? Notoften. The first order he may, butthat Is only a bait The business isnot founded on principles, it is notbuilded on honorable methods, itsmighty walls are erected on graftThe goods are shop-wor- n or shoddy,or perhaps many kinds of goods havedefects so cunningly concealed thatthe naked eye can scarcely see a dif-

ference between these articles andthose of a much higher grade. Youare expected to send cash with theorder or have It ready when thegoods arrive with the big C. O. D.mark on the package. Your crop fail-

ure, or shortage of money doesn't In-

terest the mail order house, yourcredit with them is good only so longas your pocket book is filled. Yourorder Is made out and you pay forgoods you never saw, put up and se-

lected by men you do not know. Ifthese goods do not prove to be worththe money, 4f the shoes do not wearwell, or the suit Is shoddy goods, willthe mail order firm make them good?Not often. Yet the local dealer willdo this. He knows his honesty is hisbest drawing card. So much for theadvantage of dealing with honest men,and not with grafters.

Still other issues present them-aes-s

sub-statio- ns or branch housesselves in this connection. With therapid growth of the mail order bus!-ar-e

being established. These largefirms are dally reaching out for newsections of trade. What wiU be theresult along this line? With thegrowth of the catalogue house comesthe death of. the rural mercantiletrade. Let them once destroy thecountry merchant and the marketsof the world will he in the hands of afew wealthy capitalists. Their branchBesses will appear la all the countrytowss aad the farmer will no longerbe Independent. His friend, the conn- -

try dealer, who through competitionwas forced to pay the value of the'butter, eggs, etc, will be a thing-o- f

the past, and la his place will appearthe fat, gloating face of the capitalist.in whose benumbed conscience thereis no thought of pity, whose ''breastcontains Instead of a heart a greatlump of cold stony gold, whose oneufiibitlon is to build up a greater for-

tune than the world has ever seen,and who cares naught for the tears ortrials, woes or --weeping of his victimsso long asdie can squeeze a little moreof the coveted glittering treasure fromhim.

Again, the dollar spent with thelocal dealer stays In the communitywhere it blesses the spender over andover again. The merchant pays it tothe butcher for meat the butcher getshis,bread of the baker and thereforedrops the dollar into the baker's till,the baker pays it to the miller forflour, and the latter buys his grainfrom the farmer, so the dollar oncemore jingles merrily in the farmer'strousers pocket .But spend it withthe mail order house and it is gonenever to return. It goes to build upthe great commercial interests of NewYork or Chicago. Does it pay thefarmer to send his money to helpbeautify and build up these greatcities? Has he not more interest inbeautifying and building up his ownsection of the country? If not beshould. If a place is good enough fora man to live in and to make hismoney in. it is good enough for him tospend his money in. Who helps buildthe churches, school houses, streets,bridges, etc.?' Does the mail orderhouse help? Will they give a dollarto educate the farmer's children, ordonate anything to support the farm-er's widow or orphans? Do they helpto. pay the taxes, or add anything tobring comfort or necessary improve-ments in the country places? Thenwhy should the farmer patronizethem? By actual test it has beenfound that the same goods can be pro-

cured as cheaply, if not -- at more rea-sonable prices, at home. Trade withyour neighbor, whose interests areyour interests, whose hand is alwaysready to assist you in time of trouble.Patronize those who patronize you.Use the flashy catalogue of the mailorder house to help kindle the kitchenfire, and keep your money at homewhere it will benefit you and yosr

neighbors over and over again. Thefarmer's dollar, earned by honest toil,should not be added to the bloodmoney of these great mail order cor-porations. The farmer must join thelocal merchant and the country editorin battling this great peril that iscreeping, creeping onward with greatrapidity, and unless these forces arecombined and their efforts prove in-

creasing, the day is not far distantwhen the chance will be gone forever

the power will be too great to con-quer.
