Under a Lincoln date line there appeared in yes terday's edition of The Omaha Bee a story of trag edy that every mother and father in Nebraska, fathers and mothers everywhere, should read. In the simple words of an ignorant man, bowed down by grief, Adolph Vajgrt told a s{ory heartrending in its appeal, and bearing a message in every word that should awaken parents to a sense of their re sponsibility to the children they bring into the world. Listen to the cry from the breaking heart of this peasant-born son of toil as he sits behind prison bars awaiting trial for avenging a wrong done to his little daughter: "They never toM my wife anything about life, and ehe has raised my daughter the same way. Alby didn't know either. I couldn't tell her, and my wife wouldn’t. My daughter, she didn’t know she was doing anything wrong with Tony. She'd never been told. If she had, we wouldn’t be in this trouble now.” The deadly blight of sex ignorance! Mothers, through ignorance or a mock modesty that has no excuse for being, fail to take their daughters into their confidence. Fathers, too busy or because of a mistaken notion of modesty, fail to take their sons into their confidence. People who are so ultra good that to them all things seem rotten, raise their hands In holy horror at the very thought of teaching knowl edge of sex, and children left to grow up in ignorance and get their first schoolings in that knowledge from perverted sources. The pity and the shame of it! “Alby didn’t know, either!” It was not Alby’s fault. Perhaps it was not the fault of Alby’s ig norant mother. But it was somebody’s fault. Some where lies the blame, and in time it will be definite ly located. But society itself is largely to blame; to blame for a mistaken idea of what constitutes mod esty that results in children growing up in ignorance of their own bodies; in ignorance of their God-given functions; in dense ignorance of what constitutes the defilement of the temple that temporarily houses their immortal souls. And because of these parental shortcomings, because of this mistaken idea of what constitutes modesty, young lives are wrecked in the making and the hearts of mothers and fathers, them selves largely to blame, are Tended and torn. Is it not high time that Christian America take some heed of the lessons that are presented every day? Is it not high time that parents be made to understand the duty they owe to their children and to society, and rid themselves of a lot of antiquated notions and begin teaching their children the stern facts of life, the real fundamentals that will make for a stronger and more vigorous race and a higher civilization? I GETTING AT THE REAL FACTS. Not alone the Nebraskans living in the irrigated sections, but Nebraskans in general, will be inter ested in the results of the investigation* of the fact finding committee appointed by Secretary of the Interior Work immediately upon his assuming the duties of that office. At the initial session of this fact-finding committee Secretary Work truthfully and emphatically asserted that the entire scheme of the government reclamation service was endan gered by the present situation of the more impor tant projects. He added with equal truth that rad ical reforms and improvements must be effected if the settlers upon these reclamation projects are to be protected from loss and the government’s inter ests safeguarded. Among complaints filed with the fact-finding commission were charges that the original estimates of costs of projects were too low, and that settlers who accepted these estimates as approximately cor rect now find that the estimates are from 60 to 100 per cent too low. That this charge is well founded is known to be true by hundreds of Nebraskans in western Nebraska. Another charge is that engineer ing mistakes had been made, adding materially to the cost of projects constructed. And again many Nebraskans realize by experience the truth of the charge. And still another charge is that the over head costs of the service and of many of the indi vidual projects, all borne by the water users, are excessive and burdensome. • That this latter com plaint is well founded, especially that part relating to individual projects, will be affirmed by many hundreds of farmers in western Nebraska. If Secretary Work shall succeed in his efforts to reform the abuses that have crept into the reclama tion service, then he may rest secure in the knowl edge that he has performed a service that will never be forgotten. The government is notoriously dila tory in every work of peace it undertakes, but never more so than in the construction of reclamation projects. Western Nebraska has an example of that in the construction of the Gering and Fort Laramie unit of the North Platte project. Authorized in 1913 and begun in 1914, it is not yet completed, and the first estimate of its cost already exceeded. It is only fair to say, however, that since Secretary Work assumed the duties of his present office the work on that unit has been speeded up wonderfully. The facts are that more actual construction work has been done during the last six months than dur ing any year since the work was started. If Secretary Work will speed up construction, cut down overhead costs, prevent engineering mis takes and put a large share of the money into actual construction, the west will arise and call him blessed. Nebraska will watch the sessions of the fact-finding committee with more than usual interest, because every Nebraskan is vitally interested in the work of the reclamation service. Lloyd George has been compelled to revise his speaking dates. His voice is holding out, but his alimentary tract is protesting. Let those who worry about the weakness of our air forces be comforted. Congress will soon be in session. Nebraska’s next primary will be in April, but due note should bjt, taken that it is not on April 1. NEBRASKA’S WONDERFUL FOSSIL BEDS. j The discovery in Nebraska of the fossil remains of a gigantic camel inclines numerous envious con temporaries down Atlantic way to grow humorous at our expense. We do not begrudge them what ever laughs they may get out of the subject, but we insist that they do not mistake the real facts. Nebraska contains the world’s most wonderful fossil beds, but we would have the newspaper breth ren in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere east of the conjunction of the Allegheny and Monon gahela know that these fossils are found far down in the earth under the deposits of the glacial period, not in richly upholstered apartments nor in editorial rooms of metropolitan newspaper establishments. Our fossils are the ossified remains of things that were, not of things that are. Grave and dignified scientists from all parts of the world foregather in Nebraska to dig and delve for our wonderful fossils, but no such diligent and expensive search is required to locate fossil specimens of humorous if not scien tific aspect in the rich fossil deposits considerably east of the murky waters of the Missouri. Scientists who dig and delve for our fossils han dle them with reverent care and carefully guard them against damage by enclosing them in glass cases. Other fossils of far less value but of more joy to a thoughtful public, are allowed to roam at will in the land from whence comes unseemly jibes at our pliocene camel and our two-toed horse. Let them indulge in their jibes and jeers to their hearts’ content. Nebraska will continue to produce the fossils that startle the scientific world and make the animate fossils of eastern commonwealths even cheaper by comparison, if that be possible, than ever before. Nebraskans will smile and be well content to let those who jeer and jibe think we are smiling at their wit, said Nebraskans enjoying, as we always do, the spectacle of a man thinking that people are laughing at his wit when they are only laughing be cause his necktie is up behind. Holt county now comes forward with the claim of having harvested and threshed a second crop of oats from the same field this year. If the diabolical lyric can be forgotten the banana crop in Nebraska may yet be worthy of a place in the statistical column. Governor Bryan says he will attend the meeting of governors in Washington if he can arrange to do so without endangering the state’s interests. How ever, there may be some differences of opinion about this endangering thing. No wonder an Omaha wife complained when her husband’s back became the lodging place of a chunk of ice deftly placed by a neighbor woman. Wifely cold feet must continue to be sufficient for spinal chilling purposes. May we be pardoned for suggesting that if raid ing disorderly houses is pushed to the ultimate limit it might result in disturbing some session of the board of city commissioners? A machine that will measure the millionth of an inch has just been made in London. Probably will be used to measure the intelligence of the reckless gas wagon drivers. One way of decreasing the number of auto acci dents on Sunday would be to prevail upon more peo ple to go to church. That would be good fire pre vention, too, A leading musician declares that the cause of Rome’s downfall was jazz music. That confirms a previously formed opinion that Nero was not much of a fiddler. Religious fanatics that sought to destroy Kimball are thought to be insane, according to telegraphic reports. The presumption does seem to be well founded. *_ Los Angeles bootleggers who leave their cards will have reached the acme of efficiency when they form a profit sharing agreement with the under takers. Perhaps President Coolidge believes that if he lets the legislators do all of the talking now he will have a better chance to be heard after congress con venes. By cable comes the information that the famous Chinese bandit, Tan, has been captured. Now let the authorities play the game and tan Fan. “When the Earth Lifts Skyward’’ is the title of the prize winning lyric in a recent contest. It will not strike a popular chord in Japan. Pending the decision in the controversy over horsehair snakes, let us consider again whether it is possible to conjure warts away. A deficit in the state hail insurance fund will doubtless be sufficient to bring forth another indict ment of a former administration. Among others who denounce betting as a means or getting something for nothing are those who backed the Giants to win. Several eminent statesmen can not understand why Mr. Ford should leave the people in this state of uncertainty. The per capita circulation is now $42.86, which leaves us in doubt as to the whereabouts of the other $41.97. It would be easier to write a state song if some other word than Alaska could be found to make a rhyme. The trouble with most presidential dark horses is that they are too light. Homespun Verse —By Omaha’s Own Toet— Robert Worthington Davit TIME IS. Time Is when love Is deepest; time Is when farewells burn. And leave the path of sorrow beneath the dormant soul. When man and Wife are parted to never more return. And sadly must n baby grow onward toward life's goal. Beneath the outward anger, beyond the words of strife, A longing lies and flutters—a yearning dear ami drop, And, O, the pangs of sadness that gloom the path of Ilfs, And darken dawn of morning and haunt the hours of sleep. Tims Is when love should battle discordancy nn.l win. And keep tho homo completed, life's whulesoineness retain. And build a splendid future and let ths virtue in. And teach the glowing baby that living Is not vain. “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— Clark Will Be Remembered. From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. Some one has discovered that the grave of Champ Clark at Bowling Green, Mo., Is practically without marker and without care. The report is entirely credible. In this day and age people frequently are found who are unacquainted with their nearest neighbors. For years Clark represented his district in the house of representatives at Washington. He served as speaker of the house. On nine successive ballots! in the national democratic convention in Baltimore In 1912 Clark received the votes of a major ity of the delegates for the presiden tial nomination of his party. He was defeated in this contest when Wil liam Jennings Bryan threw the weight of his influence to Woodrow Wilson. Clark was known nationally because of his ability as a debater and his popularity ns a Chautauqua lecturer. During these years Clark spent lit tle time at his home. Very likely there are many people in Bowling Green who know little if anything about this record and care less. If this distinguished legislator, patriot and citizen should for any rea son he forgotten by his neighbors and relatives ho should and doubtless will be remembered by his friends in the country as a whole. In some manner, some time, a suitable marker will be erected over the final resting place of one of the most dis tinguished democrats of his time. Clark had his faults. He was human. But his virtues far outweighed his frailties and he should not he forgot ten and his grave should not be neg lected. The Mnffatt Tunnel Next. From the Lincoln Journal: The Moffat road Is now to go under James peak through a tunnel a little more than six miles long and costing five and a quarter millions, under the contract just let by the tunnel com mission of Colorado. It Is expected that this tunnel will enable the Mof fatt road to operate at a profit and eventually place Denver In a better position In transcontinental travel. A great deal has been said about the possibility of finding enough ore In the tunnel to pay the entire cost of construction. It Is also said that enough water can be diverted to the eastern slope through the tunnel without Interfering with transporta tion to pay Interest on the bonds. An other argument In favor of putting the public credit behind the enter prise was the claim that one of the main automobile highways could be helped across the mountains by put ting the cars on trains and thus shortening the route enough to make the toll seem trifling to the tourist. In the end it will no doubt be found that the tunnel Is a railroad tunnel and nothing more. If it doesn't pay, the public will carry the load. A Noiseless Street Car. From the Washington Star: It Is very important if true. From Minneapolis and St. Paul a report comes of the trial of a noiseless street car. It cannot be believed that the car makes no sound in running on the rails, swinging around curve* and crossing intersecting tracks, but it is believable that much of the noise which it is the habit of ears to make has been done away. It is said that much noise has been eliminated "bv discarding the old fashioned Journal box and the iron brakeshoes and put ting rubber gaskets between the body of the car and the trucks.” It is dis couraging to read in the dispatch that no plans have been made for building more of the cars, but If a noiseless street car c*n be made it is likely that cities will demand it. Some j’ears ago we had long and exact accounts of silent rifles and cannon, and it seems true that the reports of these weapon* were much reduced by the use of silencers. It was said that because of the discovery the bat tles of the future would be noiseless. Vet the battles of the late war were not quiet. Quite the contrary. Per haps we will have a silent street car, hut cautious persons should not let their hope of that rise top high. Seeking a Toga. From the Salt Lake Tribune! The announcement that Governor McMaster of South Dakota is a full fledged candidate for the seat In the the United States senate now occu pied by Senator Sterling and that he proposes to make a warm contest for the nomination at the coming repub lican primary election Is of more than ordinary Interest. One wonders If there could possibly be any connection between Governor McMnster'a sena torial ambitions and the role he played recently as the friend of the user of gasoline. McMaster. It will be recalled, dis covered that gasoline was selling at several scales of prices in Smith Da kota and that the slump which one might expect from an oversupply Was not forthcoming: rather, that prices had hnen boosted So .ct about to have the state sell gasoline to the consumer. Prices took an Immediate fall. McMaster was hailed as a South Dakota David, conquering the Go liath of Gasoline, fie got a heap of publicity, was accorded ovations when ever he appeared at public meetings, which was pretty often. Not much has been henrd of him lately. The gnsollra flurry subsided and McMas ter befran to play a lesser role In the m-wspuper prints. Now ho wants go to the senate, and a very natural supposition is that ho proposes to capitalize his work In behalf of the public In the gasoline fight. Pack of that, however. Is a creditable record In the gubernatorial office. McMaster Is young, ambitious Rnil may now consider himself snme _ Daily Prayer Prey without etuis*.—I Three. ■ 1:17, Our blessed Savior. tVho dost dwell In our hearts try faith, grant us such n dear consciousness of Thine In dwelling that each mny be able to say, "I live, and yet no longer I, hut Christ llvnth In tne " Show ue that our Interests and Thine are one.

F. of L.’s Opportunity. From the Minneapolis Journal. The American Federation of Labor in its convention at Portland voted by 27,838 to 130, to oust a delegate be cause of his communistic affiliations. It rejected the "one big union" idea. It denounced the ICu Klt^x Klan as dangerous and un-American. It re fused to countenance the movement for American recognition of the Mos cow soviet. The federation, in short, cleared away any fear that it is red, or will ever go red. This is so good that per haps it is ungrateful to ask more. But one can hardly help hoping greater things from it. For the fed eration still remains what it has al ways been, a machine for strategy in industrial bargaining. It is officered by tacticians skilled by long experi ence in ways of filling "the full din ner pail” fuller, without much regard for the public interest. Is it too much tg hope that the fed eration will in the near future rise to its greater opportunities? It has the chance, for example, to further the cause of industrial training and ef ficiency through the development of a good apprentice system. It has the opportunity to take a constructive part in furthering pacific and media torial ways for settling industrial dis putes. It has the chance to rise to that level of industrial statesmanship in which the rights of the public will receive due attention. The federation has done so well that one can but hope it may become something more and better than a fighting machine. Will it rise to this new challenge in a constructive and farsighted way? Home Owning. From the Waterloo Tribune: Business groups, writes Secretary of Commerce Hoover. In a govern ment pamphlet on "How to Own Your Own Home," are looking upon home-owning in a new and favorable light. "They are taking a neighborly in terest in developing sound financing and other machinery for the use of homeseekers, and insisting upon the observance “ of honorable, straight forward methods by those who deal with homeseekers.” He adds that "maintaining a high percentage of individual home-own ers is one of the searching tests that challenge the people of the I'nited States. The present large proportion of families that own their homes is both the foundation of a sound eco nomic and social system and a guar antee that our society will continue to develop rationally as changing con ditions demand." All this is thoroughly sound and rather familiar doctrine. The present demand shows that the American public Is already pretty well con vinced of the advantages of home ownership. Everywhere new houses are springing up like mushrooms. One thing often lost sight of, how ever, is the fact, suggested above bv Secretary Hoover, that the process of acquiring a home is being made easier right along, through the disin terested efforts of public organizations and the better methods used by real estate men. bankers and builders. Facilities of all kinds for building are far more readily accessible than they were a few years ago, and the path way of the prospective home owners is made smoother and more Inviting. The Growing Public Payroll. From ths Lincoln Journal. The national Industrial conference j board has Issued a series of figures Indicating that It Is idle to die. uss whether the United States will be come socialistic. If these statistics are correct we are already well on our way toward communism. They show that one person out of every doxen over 1(1 years of age gainfully employed Is on the public pay roll. The nation Is carrying a public pay roll of nearly four billions a year. These figures are made public hy the national Industrial conference lioard. The question is nsked In the report Just made whether governmental agencies In this country have notover extended themselves. The annual cost of salaries paid directly to active and Inactive government employes Is $91 a person over 10 years of age gainfully employed. While a strong effort has been made to curtail the number of names on the public ray rolls the number of federal executive employes under civil service tends to mount rapidly. Outside of the mili tary and naval service, there are now twice as many persons on the federal payroll as there were 20 years ago. Samuel Go ropers A Kea) 1 eaHer. From 111* Brooklyn Bally Basle. Elected for his 43d term ns presi dent of the American Federation of Labor. Samuel flompers took occasion nt the Portland convention to con gratulate the delegates on the stern ness with which they had treated the radical Dunne of Butte, Mont., and their disposition not to be too tolerant of men who had flatly said they were boring from within to destroy the fed eration movement. Tiro veteran Is. aa he has always been, a fighter. There are plenty of socialists and a considerable number of communists in the federation. Their views, their opinions are not questioned. That they dream of a different sort of labor organisation Is undeniable, but for the present day they prefer to main tain loyalty to the trades unions. Some of them are personal admirers of Mr. Gompets. With none of them Is he nt war. Dunne and his type are dis loyal in plans and purposes. We have not always agreed with Mr. Oompers. We are very likely to disagree with him In the future. But hn hns shown himself a good Ameri can. and he has been and Is of vast usefulness to this country In holding organized labor to the trndo union Idea, an Idea that Is compatible with social order and social progress. So long a* the federation follows his leading, tollers will not he Involved In any attack on the principles of the American constitution.

Years ago I took my first trip to Mexico, the land of parrots, and en gaged In a thorough study of these birds—the methods of catching, rais ing and teaching them. I sought out an old Mexican who made a specialty of supplying the market with parrots and obtained a great dea! of valuable information about them. Soon after the baby parrots make their appearance the natives climb the trees and gather the birds in bas kets. They are taken to a warm hut, which is used as a nursery. Here they receive their first training These baby birds, taken before feathering, are brought up on the bottle, so to speak, until they show signs of strength. It does not take them long to cry lustily when feeding time is due and it is an unusual sight to see several hundred little parrots, their mouths agape, their eyes riveted upon the attendant, eager and hungry for their portion of the "mazza,” a prep aration fed them from a spoon. Th \ they attack vociferously, closing their eyes to enjoy to its fullest the morsel they have so strenuously demanded. It Is very important, however, not to overfeed the little gourmands, for they will eat In a manner that belies the common interpretation of ”hirdlike appetites.” Some parrots learn to speak quite fluently at a surprisingly early age. It is not uncommon for them to talk plainly at 3 months and thev always talk with ease after * months of training. Never having known other parentage than that of man, they look always to some person as their pro tector and provider. Just as soon as they have become properly acquaint ed they begin to show signs of friendship and trust. At times their affection is most touching. Feeding time will win their regard rapidly. Their Intelligence quickly Informs them who to look to for food. It is a known fact that no bird or animal, captured after maturity, can he successfully tamed After they once know the freedom which nature in tended they do not take kindly to cag ing and that Is why they are taken from their nests as soon as they are hatched. The superior breeds of parrots have unusual intelligence and can be train ed to sing and whistle an entire tune. They have an everlasting memory and can conduct a lengthy conversa tion full of laughs and surprises, al ways passing some remark at the in opportune moment, often to the cha grin of all present. No Powder for Pigs at Show*. An a meeting of the Council of the National Pig Breeders' association consideration was given to a proposal made that steps should be taken to prohibit the uso of artificial whiten ing powder on pies, and the following resolution was carried by 13 votes to 2: "That the use of artificial whitening or powder on large white and middle white pigs exhibited at agricultural shows and at sales conducted under the association's auction rules be pro hibited, and that at a show of an ag ricultural society which had agreed to adopt this rule the judge be em powered to disqualify any pig so whitened or powdered."—London Times.

Nebraska’s Prehistoric Camel From the Brooklyn Eagle. A few hundred years before flippant modern grasshoppers had learned their tantalizing chorus, "In This Wheat, By-and By," the Blackwater state must have been a delirium or a de lirium tremens of spectacles for the fellow that Kipling calls "Arboreal Man." Three-toed horses lent vivid ness to every nightmare. The baby rhinoceros and the giant pig were everywhere, and pork prices were wholly satisfactory to the ultimate consumer. Boar spearing may have been a common sport eons before boro-speaking had been developed. Monkeys roamed the brush along the Platte. The moropus or "clawed un gulate” was a special delight to the arboreal small boys. His long neck and small head and stilted legs, sug gestive of the giraffe, his rhinoceros feet with Immense claws, instead of the hoofs, must have evoked the periodical skepticism: "There sin t no sech animal.” Of all these things we are assured by the researches of the Albert Thompson expedition in the Interest of the American Museum of Natural History. But dwarfing all these features is the giant camel, perhaps a million years old. weighing a third more than the desert camel of today. He was of what we call the Bactrian type, the Sahara front hump being more fully developed than the anti-Darwin rear hump. He could doubtless go 10 days without bibulation .and he could drink more water, or grape juice, than any creature of the past or present without suffering from in digestion. He was a prophetic camel. His place on Nebraska's coat of-arms should be recognized at once by ap propriate legislation. All honor to the American Museum of Natural History. It Is teaching our American commonwealths, one by one, the steps of their progress from a state of nature to a state of grace. Oklahoma hasn’t been* inten tionally neglected. Her turn will come. So will North Dakota’s. The Immense usefulness of this sort of education cannot be blind even to the meanest intelligence. Missouri Wolf Hunters. Joy reigns at last among the wolf hunters of Centralla, who have been working weeks without success to bag some of the large number of vicious wolves that have Infested the sur rounding country for some time. They finally succeeded in killing two big ones, but only after dogs had been imported. The wolves have been so bold and fierce that the local dogs would run them until they made a stand and then return to the hunters because they feared the fray. The imported dogs will carry scars of their battle as long as they live.— Columbia Missourian.
