Roscoe Pound is one of those brave souls who fights and runs away, in order suppose that he may return and fight some other day. Mr. Pound's bravery has that delightful stealthy quality for which rorporntion attorney are noted.

The, Nebraska state railway rommis aion asks the Inter State Comemrre com mission to equalize the rates in Nebraska on coal from western mines. Men who are still young should make a memoran dum of It now. When they are old and gray they ran atill lie wondering what became of Nebraska's complaint of rate And now Harriman adds the prepon deranre of testimony that "coal is going to be ararce." Million of tons of coal ar in sight, but it is going to be scarce. Thousand! of new oar and hundreds of new locomotives nave been provided, but nevertheless tl I going to be scarce. The people have all kinds of money to buy any kind of coal, but nevertheless it is going to be short.

this the true view Has not the administration of justice suffered bwaus of the aheine of erit immii The treat mass ot the tHoiile have regarded the Su winiM ration of justice as a thing apart; something that thev knew little or noth ing Ik nit ami nave et it exclusively to lawyers ana juuges. Molm and lynching generally are due to popular distrust of the administration of the law. Is it not vastly better to have these causes of dissatisfaction frankly discussed? This is the method we generally rely on in America for discovering de and providing remedies. It is not safe to leave to the lawyers alone the correction of abuses in the administration of justice. Kew, if any.

public or corporate wrong occur without the aid and sanction of some lawyer. Sometimes all the leading lawyers of a city get so mixed up with the wrongs complained of that lawyers from other state have to lie called in; as witness the recent experience in Philadelphia. Beside. olitical bosses and bad business men have secured the elevation of unworthy men to the bench. And judges are only human beings, subject to like passions, prejudices and failings as other men.

Therefore, the purity and efficiency of the administration of justice require publicity and criticism. F.uiinent lawyers and judges recognize this. Sir Frederick Pollock, one of the most eminent English lawyers, in an address delivered in this country a few years ago, said: "Our guiding principle is that justice ought to be done in the light of dsy; and if I may somewhat alter the words of my learned friend, Mr. Justice Holmes, of the supreme court of Washington, originally applied to different context, 'We are, on the whole, of the deliberate opinion that publicity is worth more to society than it Judge William H. Taft, in 189S, in replying to criticisms against the federal judiciary on account of its part in the suppression of the disturbances following the strikes and boycotts inaugurated by Eugene V.

Debs, said: "The opportunity freely and publicly to criticise judicial action is of vastly more importance to the body politic than the immunity of courts and judges from unjust aspersions and attack. Nothing tends more to render judges careful in their decisions and anxiously solicitous to do exact justice than the consciousness that every act of theirs is to be subjected to the intelligent scrutiny and candid criticism of their fellow men. Such criticism is beneficial in proportion as it is fair, dispassionate, discriminating and based on a knowledge of sound legal principles." After referring to criticism by lawyers, he proceeded: "But non professional criticism also is by no means without its uses, even if accompanied, as it often is, by a direct attack upon the judicial fairness and motives of the occupants of the bench; for if the law it but the essence of common sense, the protest of many average men may evidence a defect in a judicial conclusion though based on the nicest legal reasoning and profoundest learning. There are few men, whether they are judges for life or for a shorter term, who do not prefer to earn and bold the respect of all, and who cannot be reached and made to pause and deliberate by hostile public criticism. In the case of judges having life tenure, indeed their very independence makes the right freely to comment on their decisions of greater importance because it is the only practical and available instrument in the hands of a free people to keep such judges alive to the reasonable demands of those they serve." SOCIETY OF EQUITY WANTS $1.25 WHEAT Statement Issued by the National Presi dent of the Society.

IniliuniiKlis. Ind Aug. 12. President A. Kveritt has issued the following bulletin establishing a price of $1.25 per bushel as the standard of the American Society of Knuitv: The winter wheat crop is a short one.

We estimate it at 385,000.000 bushels. The outlook for the spring wheat crop is not good and cannot reasonably lie expected to be more than 75 per cent of lost year's, or about 185,000.000 bushels. This is a total of 570,000,000 bushels, which we believe ia rather above than below what the Anal figures will show. Also the Canadian wheat crop must be shorto account of late seeding, short acreage and not an entirely favorable season. Coupled, with the foregoing we are confronted with admitted shortages in some of the chief foreign producing countries.

The shortage in this country under last year will Im bout 165,000,000 bushels and the most reliable authorities estimate the shortage, under last year, in foreign countries at about 300,000,000 bushels, making a total of 465,000,000 bushels short for the world's crop under 1806. One of the principles of the American Society of Kquity is that producers shall lie paid for their labor and rewarded for their skill and investments equally each year, and in proportion as those in other lines of endeavor are paid and rewarded. It has been well understood and accepted that no crop of wheat, no matter how large, shall sell for less than $1 per bushel. The crop of 1906 was, by government estimate. 735.000,000 bushels, hence should have been valued at $735,000,000 dollars.

To bring the same amount of money for the estimated crop of 1907, will require a price of $1.20 per bushel, nut the agreed price is 91.23. And the price will not work anv hard ship on the consumers, notwithstanding the tanners opponents have inspired an article that has gone out over the country to the effect that a 25 Iter rent ad vance in the price of farm crops will rnaks the cost of living 25 per rent more. It will do nothing of the kind, orshould not. Twenty five cents a bushel on wheat is $1.50 a vear to the average ndividual (6 bushels a year) or $6.00 for a family of four; or 1 cents a dav. The eost to grind $1.25 wheat, handle the flour and liake file bread is no greater than with $1.00 wheat, hence the cost to the consumer should not be more than above, and if it is the American Society of Equity will look after the middlemen and In a way that then craft will he regulated, if not more.

There can be no question about the equity the considering the short crop advances in prices of things farmers mt buy. Hut the chief question is. can farmer force this price? TROOPS FIRE INTO BELFAST MOB Thr Killed, Six 8rlouly and Hun. drds Slightly Wounded. Belfast, Aug.

That Burlington extejiMoii along the valley to North Platte and Bridge port is still a probability and ia being watched with interest both in this city and North Platte. A dispatch to the World Herald from North Platte states that it has been currently rumored that the Burlington railroad purchased an option on a large tract of land about twelve mile east of that city, known as the K. W.

ranch, and that this option will expire soon. It has been asserted that if this land is purchased it will muke a competing town tor latie, ami a division station located there. This is not very strongly believed there, as the Burlington has purchased a large tract of land immediately east of the city which it expects to use for right of way and track and switch purposes. The Burlington om cials have examined, and probably nego tiated for the h. V.

ranch, and it is likely that a town site of some kind will be located there. RELIEF CORPS WILL ENTERTAIN Relief Corp of Gibbon and Their Husbands will be the Guests.

Dennis Heals Skin Many Cures Reported. The medical world is stirred by the great number of eczema cures now being effected with the method discovered by a prominent skin specialist, Dr. D. D. Dennis of Chicago.

Several year ago Dr. Dennis announced to the medical world that when the skin Is diseased It Is curable through the skin alone, and that If the patient Is In good health otherwise, it Is nonsense to dose the stomach of a perspn suffering from ecxema, psoriasis, or any kindred ali ment. Dr. Dennis compounded a prescription of vegetable mixtures, perfectly harmless, soothing and refreshing to the skin, and quickly eradicating the disease. This prescription has now been put up In bottles and may be secured from drug stores.

Many wonderful reports have been coming In from all parts of the country and some right from this city as to the remarkable cures effected by Dr. Dennis' prescription, especially when It is used In connection with D. D. D. soap.

"Not Doing Any" The reporter called as usual at the Henline weather factory to copy the bul letins put out by the weather department this afternoon. But the bulletin was missing. For several days past it has been notoriously inclined to predict fair weather. The clerk was asked in confidence to reveal to a waiting public what was in store for the morrow, and tremblingly he announced that it again said "fair." This prediction did not meet with the approval of several prominent citizens present, and in the dilemma to get a correct forecast they were appealed to for assistance. Walt Barney, who has several farms to sell, thought that it looked like ruin, or at least it ought to rain.

Others concurred so the bulletin today was decided on to read that way. And then the unexpected happened right away. The clouds rolled thicker and thicker and distant mutterings of thunder were heard and without much further ado it began to rain. Prominent citizens walked the streets in their shirt sleeves and let the gentle moisture suturate their skin to be sure that it was real. The corn crop, which had been hanging precariously in the balance was saved, the croaker who has leen saying ''I told you so" for several days took to his dismal lair and all was serene.

The rain is here and still there is more to follow. Stand up for Kearney. Miss Alice Hayward Entertains. Miss Alice Hayward gave about twenty five of her girl friends a days outing at the Industrial school Friday, August 10. A sumptuous dinner and supper was served them.
