Wives who cling to their maiden names are mis guided, in the opinion of G. W. Wickersham, for mer attorney general of the United States. Hi* flat declaration was drawn forth by the question of the Lucy Stone league, an organization of women who keep their own names. Doubtless these inde pendent spirits were cheered by this sign of oppo sition, for to most people today it is a matter of indifference how husbands and wives arrange these details. There may be reasons aside from vanity for such a custom. There lately died in Omaha a woman who con ducted a commercial enterprise under her maidei name and not that of her husband. She had started on her career before marriage, and it was a natural and sensible thing to do to retain the name about which had grown up a considerable amount of good will. Actresses have for many, many years ob served the custom of preserving their separate iden tity. Many women authors who began writing before they had a husband continue their work without any change in name. For several years Mrs. Fisher issued her books under the name by which she was known to Nebraskans as a girl, Doro thy Canfield. A recent volume by a writer of pop ular romances illustrates the difficulties that some times occur. Her fame was first gained as Grace Livingston Hill; after marriage she quite faithfully turned this into Grace Livingstone Hill Lutz; but now she places on the title page her maiden name, and in brackets beneath, “Mi's. Lutz.’’ This concession to the old-fashioned proprieties doubtless would please Mr. Wickersham, who de clares: “I can hardly express with sufficient em phasis my opinion concerning the movement on the part of some women to retain their maiden names after marriage. Fortunately I was born in a gen eration whose women thought it a glory to take their husband's name when they married. They looked up to the husband and their respect and admiration for him made them happy to be iden tified with him; secondly, they looked forward to having children as the greatest glory of life, and they desired to give their children the father’s name and identify themselves with that name.’’ One can think of a number of complications sur rounding the system of dual names, but the femin ists have not yet suggested giving their own names to their children, if any. There was a primitive era of society in which children took the name of the mother instead of their father, but that is past. If Mr. Wickersham had been born in that age, doubt less he would have stood up boldly for the mainte nance of the custom, and would have resented the idea of a child taking its father's name as much as he now resents a wife not taking her husband's. LO! THE POOR INDIAN HAS LANDS One of the scandals that hovered over the Sixty seventh congress disappeared when the Bursum bill, dealing with Indian lands in the southwest, went to it# doom. It left a bad odor, however, and the Snyder bill, which came up from the house, was nearly as sweet-scented as the Bursum measure. One of the first things to be discovered will be the combination of stock grazers, oil well borers and ranch land speculators, who see in the big reservations in New Mexico, Arizona. Nevada, Utah and Colorado a great opportunity. The stockmen already have crowded the Navajos off a consider able portion of the land that was assigned them by treaty understanding. Ranchers have interfered with the Pima water rights, and the Meseallpros are similarly threatened. Holes are being punched into the earth on the great Navajo resen ation, where oil seekers gamble on the chance of finding some thing. ThiS enterprise may return something of benefit for the Indians, for any well that produces only water goes to the government free of cost for the Indian's use. It is unquestionably true that these Indians hold a great region; far more than is needed to pro vide each with the allotment that went to other tribes when they were induced to abandon tribal customs and take lind in severalty. Equally is it true that the land is not of the same nature as that of Oklahoma, Dakota, Nebraska, or other states where the settlements have been made with the In dian. Also, it is true that the government has made agreements with these Indians, and it is high time that some of these solemn treaties were being ob served. A full inquiry into the whole situation will prob ably bring out a better understanding of the rights of the Indians, and indicate what is a just and rea sonable eoursc to pursue. Uncle Ham can well af ford to be on the level with the last of his once numerous wards. "VENGEANCE IS MINE!" A murder has been committed in Omaha. One man is dead, another is in prison. A mother is without a son; another mother, wife of two hus bands, sits dumb with mental agony; two of her children aide with her, the third with hie father, who also is a slayer. What brought this about? -Inability of a man to control hia own pensions. Jealousy, "the gTeen eyed monster that mocks the meat he feeds on,” possessed the soul of the man who did the shooting. His wife had left him and gone to another man. Sha aaya ahe had a divorce; her first husband says he never heard of it, and invokes the "unwritten law** to Justify him in hia deed. Why did ha not invoke the written law? 8urely, courts would protect him in any of hia legal ^BB^^ffutoad of bringing any benefit to anybody, hel^Wirought misery to all connected with the af fair; sorrow to himself, to the woman he professed lo love, and disgrace nnd shame to their children. J'ar better would it be fur all had this man ap pealed to the law he act aside. "Vengeance is Mine, raith the Lord, and I will repay." When a man sets about to right his own grmtga, taking the law Into his own hands, he gen erally makes a sorry mesa of K, KEEPING THE LIGHT UNDIMMED. Many nien are made or broken by the way in which they consume their leisure time. Even more i is this the case with adolescent children. A criti cism of the American educational system that is coming more and more to be heard is that it is de voted too much to workaday matters without tak ing into consideration the possible uses and abuses of leisure. Children in the cities have more idle time on i their hands than those who are brought up on the farms and in the small towns. Lester F. Scott, a national executive of the Camp Fire Girls, referred to this in an address to the Lions club yesterday, and was corroborated by every man who had lived as a child in a smaller community, where chores and errands were a part of the regular routine. Homes are different in the city, where so many forces are at work to decentralize the family circle. Some of them are little more than boarding houses where individuals sleep and eat, but have few in terests in common. Mr. Scott is correct in assert ing that parents are getting a long way off from their children. Recognition of this fact, and the effort to remedy it, are found in such movements as that of Father and Son week. “If the boys and girls of Omaha are like those of other cities, they are all right," Mr. Scott says. “The problem for them is to fill their leisure time with wholesome interests.” People are a little frightened over the flappers, but *underneath the superficial aspects they are sound enough. What is needed is an outlet for the high spirits of youth and a closer contact with the realities of life. Not all can be done through the schools, nor through the modem home, in many instances. That is where the Camp Fire Girls’ organization and others like it come in. An understanding love of nature is one of the moral substitutes for trashy diversion. Too many children and grownups, for that matter, feel lost in the out-of-doors. Last year 125,000 Camp Fire Girls went camping under the charge of competent leaders. There they learned to work with their hands, to live close to nature,, and to perform nu merous pleasant and useful tasks. They wove blan kets and textiles and baskets and returned home with some new glimpse of the real but simple joys of life. In the home, through a system of honors, the ordinary household tasks that are usually looked on as drudgery ate made part of the game. Girls wash dishes, iron, scrub, sew and care for smaller children as part of the work for higher degrees in their lodge. It is not hard to apply one’s self to such work if it can be made to appear not an end itself, but the means to a higher object. It is this way of looking at life that must be impressed on the rising generation. Not only that aimless idleness and illicit pleasures leave lasting scars, but that useful, wholesome living builds strong minds and bodies and brings permanent hap piness. A great deal has been said about the man ners and habits of some of the high school children in Omaha, but little of the criticism has been of a constructive nature. There are dark corners in which vice lurks, but these can not tempt those whose lives, in school and out. are filled with whole some interests. Thus, and only thus can the spirit of the Tochbearer's pledge be spread: “That light which is given to me, I will strive to pass undimmed to others." GHOSTS OF BYGONE TIPPLES For all the praises by Senator John Sharp Wil liams, it is unlfkely that any public subscription will be raised for the row disappearing race of bar tenders. Though the traffic in which they we.re en gaged is now outlawed, and never was high in pub lic repute, yet among their clients they were held in the greatest affection. One is reminded of that old piece of exaggerated humor which dc™ared that the happiest moment of a man’s life was when he kissed the bartender good night. On the night of his retirement from congress Senator Williams, who might have dined with states men whose names are known from one end of the nation to the other, chose instead to sit at tabic with Phil, a veteran bartender who since prohibi tion has been a senate doorkeeper. ‘‘I have known president*, many of them,’’ i-aid the senator in a farewell toast, ‘‘I have mixed with cabinet officers; indeed, I have made some. I have been friends with great judges, ambassadors, states men and representatives of kings; but there is one friend whoso memory will stay with me longer, whom 1 will cher.sh more dearly than that of all the lords of fame with whom I have been associated —and that friend sits by my side." This tribute, perhaps inspired by the memory of mint juleps, gin liekeys arid other forbidden fruit, will shock a good many good people and cause the rest to chuckle in unholy reminiscence. However, it docs not refer to one characteristic of the best of the breed—that they seldom or never drank the concoctions they purveyed. No one knew better than tho bartenders the unhappy results of over indulgence. They realized the evil* of the drink traffic better than any temperance workers, but like the philosophers they were, blamed it not on them selves, but on human nature. February’s building permit record indicates a con siderable campaign in itself, anil there are eleven other months in the year to be counted A man at Kansus City bar, just died from hic coughs. They have a habit of carrying things to an extreme down there. .7. Pluvius must have heard about the drouth in Nebraska At any rate, he made good.

Any government, whether it be local, state or national, that devolves or attempts to devolve upon the shoul ders of one man cannot stand. Any man who ventures to assume dicta torial powers in the ministration of the affairs temporarilv placed in his hands through the will of the people' will soon find his position untenable. There is no place In the governing forces of Americans for the imperious will be a man of czarlstic ideas. Governor Bryan has proposed to set up a one-man state government in 1 Lincoln by which all Nebraska is to 1 bo ruled and regulated. He was to ! bo the dictator, the czar, the all-pow- I erful potentate. The state house sin- j gan hereafter was to be "The Gov- | trnor Shall-!’’ The first session of the legislature had hardly settled down to business before Mr. Bryan brought forth his famous thirteen bills designed to re- [ place the, McKelvle code system and to give the state of Nebraska the most j dictatorial and imperialistic form of government it had ever had in its his tory. All through these thirteen bills the phrase "The Governor Shall-i" , was dominant. House Itoil No. 315 said, "The gov ernor shall have all appointive power.” House Roll No. 6S1 said, "The governor shall be state health director." House Roll No. 6M said, "The governor shall supervise and j control ihe state engineering depart- ; ment.” House Roll No. 631 said, "The governor shall be known as the com- ! missioner of insurance. House Roll I No. 693 said, "The governor shall be commissioner of banking." House Roll No. 697 said, "The governor shall lie commissioner of labor." House ; Roll No. 669 said, "The governor shall be state veterinarian." House Roll No. 770 said. "Tbe gov ernor shall be vested with aiffhority, control, regulation and supervision of the bureau of inspection." House Roll No 701 said, "Tlie governor shall ! bo the chief enforcing officer of the i department of fish, game and ath- ' I'-tV's." Each of tlie above nine hills create new departments and they pro vide for salaries of the heads of de partments aggregating $26,750 annual- i ly, and provide unlimited power in the governor for providing additional as sistants. None of these appointments is required to bo approved by the [ house or senate. Governor Bryan makers the claim that if these proposed bills are at- t lowed to become law the state of Ne- ! braska will gave the mammoth sum of $9,000,000 annually. George F 6itaat.s. republican representative from Fremont, declares that the Bryan plan would not save the state a solitary dim In the first place, the governor has usurped the powers of the legislature in framing his bills, and. in the second place, he merely created the head of an octopus with more tentacles and arms and legs branching out than any octopus ever I possessed. Government In the first person Is distasteful to the average American citizen. Charles W. Bryan is not the first man elecicd to public office who has held the idea that the reigns of government have been delivered Into his hands alone. The others have long sice fallen by the wayside, os will Mr. Bryan. As long as we pre- . end to maintain a representative h rrn c-f government we will never tolerate a dictator for the simple rea •on that no one man can be strong ’nough to be representative of all of the people.

Wayne, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Uec: The University of Ne braska, In fulfilling its ideal of pro viding the best, in all lines of learning for the students should and does have the Interest of the young people at heart In selecting their surrounding*. An atmosphere of refinement and culture Is present. To maintain such nn atmosphere the university must be continuously on the lookout for men or women of talent who can be of desirable Influence. Such an in fluence they might have in John O. Neihardt If he were appointed to an honorary chair In the institution. His poems are inspiring; they represent the best in literature and. with him present, they would carry more to the students. Though Neihardt had no classes In the school, his presence, his contact with school life and the acquaintance he might have with stu dents, would be of gnat benefit. The poet la a Nebraskan. He writes the history of Nebraska, in his epic poems. He has served his state, has loved and made Immortal the coun try and Its early inhabitants. Now that he is engaged in furthering Ne braska's interests In "The Song of the Indian Wars," it seerns but right tliat he should have the distinction he de serves. To place Neihardt on the uni versity faculty would be recognizing Nebraska talent. Neihardt is poet laureate of the state, and when he is devoting his lifetime largely to this section of the country it would seem a just compensation to the poet that he might continue his work. Men are paid to preserve the forests of the state; others preserve the birds and animals. Should not the state pre serve its poetic talent? Catjeton collpge in Minnesota has offered Neihardt an honorary’ posi tion with compensation, the purpose being to secure hie presence as an asset to the institution. Would not his presence be valuable to Nebras ka? Should not the state he makes Immortal help compensate such a gift as his talent? Should the best of lit erature be hampered by a lack of financial means, necessitating a stunt ing of talent1 Should not Nebraska keep and cherish its poet laureate? To .ill these- questions the solution is obvious. Neihardt shquld he award ed an honorary position in our high est institution of learning the Uni versity of Nebraska. EDITH HU6E. Rebukes the Gloom Spreaders. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Did you ever read ' Mar tin Chuzzlewit?' Do you remember Mark Tapley? He who could, under all circumstances, find Borne reason for being Jolly? No matter what con ditions prevailed. Mark could always think how it might have been worae, and consequently was always happy. Today, when on every aide wo come in contact with gloom spreaders and calamity howlers, we almost pray for the spirit and deposition of Mark Tap ley. I have no doubt that when our ar boreal ancestors found that one of their number had loet tha prehensile member of his anatomy and could no longer swing among the branches as he had been wont to do, the majority of his contemporaries thought that UW end of all advancement was near and the reputation of the family was forever ruined.
