FOR THE GLORY OF NEBRASKA. 1 ourists some day will come to Nebraska from nil parts of the world to view the state capitol that 1 rising from the ground in Lincoln. It is for just this that the building is so remarkable—it seems to grow out of the very soil and natural conditions of this prairie commonwealth. As the temples and public buildings of ancient Greece echoed the life and environment or that place and age, and as the Gothic cathedrals of northern Europe harmonized with conditions then and there, so does this house of state of ours strike a chord with all that is best in the middlewest of today. This promises to he the most impressive piece of architecture in all America. Prof. H. B. Alex ander of the University of Nebraska found no dif ference of opinion when he expressed this belief before a meeting of architects in Omaha. It would be difficult for any citizen to view the designs with out a feeling of admiration and pride. The simple grace of its exterior, the strength and artistry of its bas-relief decorations which retell the story of the race, and the dignity and beauty of its interior ar rangement will make it a monument for the ages. It is with those thoughts in mind that the citi zens of Nebraska must regard the controversy that has arisen over the construction of their state house. The foundations are laid and the walls of huff stone are now above the first floor. Further work has been held up while charges of improper letting of bids and faulty construction are threshed out- There is a dispute between contractors and a clash also between the engineering and artistic temperaments. Nebraskans want a state house In keeping with the worth and dignity of their state. They desire it to be both beautiful and useful, and moreover ihey insist that it shall he honestly constructed. When the old capitol building was put up, the wall of one wing soon cracked and today the roof is propped up by huge timbers. Nothing of that sort is expected from its successor. And thus far no evidence has been produced that any work has been slighted or money wasted. The cost of this building will be small compared to what other states have expended for the same purpose. Some leadership is needed in Nebraska that will leave not the slightest suspicion concerning the man ner of construction. The architects have already expressed their united confidence in Mr. Goodhue, the eastern architect who has planned the work. Why should not they accept it as their sacred task ;o watch the progress of construction and safeguard the public both against misapprehension and viola tion of trust? Nor should this great state be ungenerous in its attitude toward the great architect whose fondest hope is to live and see his handiwork complete. There is little sympathy for those few who object ihat native Nebraskans should have been given the honor and profit of this work. The day is gone when men have to wear a broad-brimmed hat and tuck their trousers in their boots in order to win the country votes. Honest men and capable ones, too, are found in well cut clothes, just as dependable architects may be found in New York. Local pr.de and prejudice should not figure in a matter of such importance as the building of the state house. This is not to he made of concrete blocks, neither is it to he judged by purely mechanical or engineer ing standards. When one remarks that the walls are of different shades of stone, variously finished, 'his is not an objection, for it is exactly what the architect designed in order to avoid a flat, dead ap pearance. Architects are aware of these values, having long since got away from the striving for absolute uniformity. At one time every brick in a building was required to be of exactly the same ■hade as the rest and the wall was considered per fect which most resembled a piece of painted wood. Nowadays it is the tapestry effect that is seen to have the best appearance, and variegation instead o£ uniformity is sought. Details of this kind are not readily understood by the general public, and are best left to the dis i retion of men who are adept in the art of building. Here, also, there is need for public advice from the architectural bodies of the state. There must be no waste of public funds, no slighting of the struc tural strength of this steel-framed capitol. Assur ance of that should be given. But neither should the genius of the designer be shackled by unfounded nagging. This is the crowning opportunity of the architect, t is also the moment of opportunity for the people of the state. Both must live up to the requirements 'or the sake of the wonderful public building which will so add to their glory. WHAT IS THE AGENDA. MR. BORAH? At Akron Senator WilliBm E. Borah predicted lire calamity for the republican party unless its leaders adopt a strong platform and openly advo cate it with all their might. He anticipates the formation of a third party, and says that, even now party lines are “dim and shadowy. ’ I hus far it is •asy to find ourselves in agreement with Mr. Borah. \t no time in the history of the United States, at east since party government took definite form, has the obligation of party fealty rested more lightly lhan it does just now and none feels the restraint of party discipline or engagement less than does William K. Borah. As to a third party, vuch a contingency is ever present in America. Or a fourth, or a fifth, for that, matter. Our organized government o sufficiently loose and elastic as to admit the formation of many political groups, that the views of, those who com tone them may find outlet for expression. If ever „f these becomes a major, or a dominant party, ii will be because a sufficient number of voters have , pted its platform of principles. < onsoquently, t will remain true thnt the party in power is the one that offers the more attractive program and , . record of performance give, the greater *v HI,,', of Its being able to enrry out its policies. In In address at Akron Mr. Borah set forth no nl,;,- around which republican leaders are to rally. Win w. ask i that he specify a few of the things he think,, will arouse the voters. “UNFINISHED BUSINESS” IN UTAH. Out in Utah another of the periodical rows be tween the Piutes and the whites is under way. It may be Uncle Sam’s Inst wild west show, and it may not. However, it will serve to rivet attention to the ' fact that relations between the red and white men in that region are not as harmonious as they might 1 be, or properly should be. San Juan county, Utah, is not very well known to i the world outside. It should not be confounded with what is usually referred to as ‘‘the San Juan coun i try’’ of Colorado, for a considerable rise in the ground separates the two. They have a common link, though, in the Grand river, which, with the Green, gives the Colorado a flying start before it. enters the canyon that bears its name. In that great drain age basin the possibilities for agriculture rest on the opportunity for irrigation, and this is eagerly sought, because it provides a certain and fairly re munerative return. Long ago the Mormons pushed ‘‘down into the Juad,” which means this part of Utah, and tbev got over into Arizona and New Mexico. Here the In dians practiced a primitive form of agriculture, al though the Piutes never have been noted for their industry in any way other than that of making trouble for their white neighbors. In this they have been quite as successful, although not on so extensive a scale, as any of the other tribes. The fact that the particular band of Piutes en gaged in this disturbance amounts to an 150 all told, is not reason for their being deprived of the | lands that properly are theirs. Nor is it any argu- j ment against the white intrusion that this backward | tribe of Indians, whose chief diet is grass roots and j grasshoppers, or was until the federal government J took over their care, should be permitted to entirely prevent development of such part of the desert in | the region they infest as is capable of being devel- j oped. While man’s justice ought to go along with white man’s government. The Piute is listed among thr lower grades of j Indian, so far as mentality and general development , are concerned. Ho has never been tractable and the | problem of dealing with him is complicated by his propensity for misbehavior. It is extremely prob able that the present situation is aggravated to a considerable extent occasioned among the Navajoes, ■ Pimas, Mescalleros and other southwestern tribes by ' the Bursum bill, which principally affected the Pueblo lands in New’ Mexico and Arizona. Not much I of a pretext is required to set the unruly Piutes off on the war trail. A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE. America needs more public men of the sterling | brand of C. M. Gruenther. His untimely death is a tremendous loss to the people of Omaha and the surrounding territory. Thousands of Nebraskans have watched with hope the remarkable fight he j made for life, and in every part of the state there is sorrow today at his end. In an age when so many are content simply to talk of service, •‘Chris” Gruenther gave it. Nor was his the ordinary sort of political career. He was of the new type of public servants who contribute busi- ] ness ability to the functions of government. His work as secretary of the Federal Land bank of Omaha had back of it a thorough knowledge of ! farm values and agricultural conditions. His life in Platte county and his wide experience as a youth fitted him for great usefulness. Not only did he un ! derstand, but he was thoroughly in sympathy with I the establishment of co-operative credit institutions. Much as he did for agriculture he was active also in movements to better the city of Omaha. He found his natural place as a director of the Metro politan Utilities district, the body of men controlling i the municipal gas, water and ice plants The rise through poverty and adversity made by this genial man was in itself remarkable. But the ■ finest thing about his whole life was the way in | which he devoted himself to public work of a prac i tical kind. A GREAT ARMAMENT HOAX Competition is undoubtedly the life of trade in the armament business. An example of how gn it 1 armaments are built up by one naGon's deGi not to be outstripped by any other is uncovered in the authoritative statement that Great Britain is not ; changing its naval guns as had been reported. On the assurance that the British were refitting certain warships in such a way as to give their guns greater range, the congress of the United States was in ! duced to make a Urge appropriation for similar im | provements. Now Secretary of StBte Hughes announces that j he has learned that no such plan was being under taken in the British navy. How did such a mistake ; arise? The inquiring public may remember in the days before the world war how munitions mongers spread j false reports in France of the extent of German j preparedness, and how when the French government | hnd taken steps to meet this tho same alarm was ! spread in Germany, thus keeping up an endless suc cession of armament buying. America took a great step toward ending this competition in the disarmament conference at Wash ington. There must be no turning back from the principles enunciated there, and their application must be extended. In a well ordered world there would be no reason for tho people of any nation to impoverish themselves for the upkeep and extension of great armaments.

Wrong Way to Cul Taxr*. From th- Fremont Tribune. Let tis see where Mr. Bryan pro poses to save money. Three millions • re to be cut off the ro.nl appropria tions. This would practically put an end 10 ail slate aid road construction in Nebraska, but far more important than the building of new roads, it would make impossible the proper re pair aand maintenance of existing highways. The state has invested about $20. 000,000 in its highways up t*» the pres ent time, an investment that has done more toward building up the farming communities than any other on* fac tor. The state aid highways are the main arteries of agricultural trade, they give the farmer his outlet to market, place him in closer touch with the town and with the world, give his children better educational opportuni ties and give bis wife- a chance to brighten her life in the society of her neighiwirs Do the people of Nebraska want to save money by cutting down their roads? More reasonable would be a proposition to increase the expendi tures for this purpose. But that is not all. Mr Bryan claims that he will '■av* $2,000,000 through the crippled soldiers’ relief fund. This is pure de ceit. Two years ago a republican leg islature set aside i fund *-f $2,000,000, the Income from which was t** be de voted t** the interests of disabled vet erans This is an endowment fund and only the interest is to be drawn upon. It will not be necessary for any legislature to renew the appropria tion, and Br.vanV claim that h** can save this two million is hia first real attempt at buncomb.
