It may ba a little early for a comfortable etroll in the woods, but if there be any patch of forest jrou can easily reach, we would recommend that you put on a pair of stout shoes, some old garments, and spend a part of today among the trees. However familiar you may be with outdoor life, you will find inspiration in the experience. You will be in almost at the start Not quite, though, for the sap has started to flow through the veins of the trees. The swelling bark shows its presence. You will note, maybe, some little sign of the buds that precede the leaves, tendrils more than usually tender in the first kiss of the air and the sun. Little green things will be noted, pushing their way up through the turf alongside a log, or where the boll of a sturdy trunk offers a little protection. Some of these have made remarkable growth during the last week. They are the promise of the wild flowers that soon will deck the dells and hillsides. One of the most interesting of all your experiences will be your chance to overhear the birds making plans for the summer. * • • Do you know how the sap in a tree gets from its roots up to the topmost branch and twig? This was a mystery to men of science for many years. It is obvious, of coursfe, that the sap does get up to the top of a tree, no matter how high, and many forget trees overtop the tallest building in a city. To get water to the upper floors of a modern skyscraper is a great engineering problem. It has been worked out, but the process is not so simple as it might seem to one who turns on the spigot on the top floor and finds the water flowing. So it is with a tree, whose sap is its life-blood. Every twig, no matter how far from the root, must have its quota of sap, and have it every day, or it dies. The leaves must have their sap. It is through the leaves that the tree breathes. The trunk must be steady and strong, for it has to sustain a great weight. At times it must withstand tremendous pressure, as when a gale blows it about. All these things are commonplace, but the breathing of the tree is as regular as that of a human being, and its circulation is the same. For a long time it was thought tnat, tne circula tion of sap along the system of a tree was the result of capillary attraction. Some experiments proved that this force was not strong enough to lift the sap to the top of a tall tree. The power of atmospheric pressure would not do. Its effect soon is lost, being only equal to a lift of 32 feet at sea level. An eastern scientist has recently made announcement that sap in a tree circulates just as blood returns to the heart through the veins. A cell is filled, closes at the lower end and opens at the upper, then con tracts, thus forcing its contents into the one next above. This goes on stesdily. Through this in tricate system of veins and valves the sap is carried. Return, of course, is similarly accomplished. Through the slimmer season it is believed that the upward process is continual, the excess of moisture being taken off through the leaves in exhalation and evaporation. • • • When next you hear anyone classifying trees or other growing things as among inanimate nature, just recall that they live a life that in many oft its functions fairly duplicates ours. The poet who wrote “The W’oods were God’s first temples,” told more pf the truth than he could heve known at the time. It was in this same inspiration that Joyce Kilmer wrote: "I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree, whose hungry mouth Is prest Against the earth’e sweet flowing breast: A tree that looks to God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may In summer wear A nest of robins In her hair, Upon whose bosom snow has lain, Who Intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by .fools like me, But only God can make a tree.." No time spent in communion with Nature is ever vested, and nowhere can man better “Look through Nature up to Nature’s God” than in the woods. Just try it, even if you can get no farther than the tree on your lawn, or the one on the parkway in front of the house. BEAUTY FOR BEAUTIFUL OMAHA. ' One of Omaha's outstanding appeals to the visi or, especially in the summer season, is the vista presented down almost any street in the residence lection. Shade trees, in many places arching en tirely over the street, broad, well trimmed lawns, and beds of flowers and flowering or foliage shrubs, compose a picture that is a delight to all who look upon it. We properly boast of this attraction. These vistas are now to be made even more at tractive. A competition for the boys and girls has been set up by the Omaha Real Estate board, open to any who desires to engage in it. The test will be the beauty and the variety of flowers. These must be planted, tended and cared for by the competitors, and will be judged according to their merits. Con ditions that have been laid down for tha competition are not hard to meet, and nona need refrain from entering the contest if a plot of ground big enough for a flower bed ia available. Naturally, the object is to stimulate the growing of flowers out of doors, this in turn to cultivate the innate sense of the beautiful. With estheticism de veloped in this direction, it. will find other avenues for expression. Thus the spirit of the city as well as its appearance will be improved. Whatever adds to one element of beauty adds to all. We may also expect that the *»oys and girls who are interested in growing their own flower beds will have ifcgard for those of their neighbors. It will br surprising if w# hear much of the petty vandalism that has been so annoying to some housekeeper*. Lore of the beautiful can not be too early in*tilled. It brings a reward in many ways, not the least of which is gentle behavior and self-control. WHAT ARE THE YOUNGSTERS THINKING OF? School is the avenue through which the boy or girl moves to a permanent place in the world life of which they must become a part. It is interesting to know what hopes or aspirations they carry with them on the journey, the goal at which they aim. The State Board for Vocational Education has just tabu lated and published replies from 25,914 Nebraska high school students, in answer to a questionnaire which sought to develop what these boys and girls are thinking in regard to the work they expect to do when school work has been completed. Here is a summary of the replies: Boys. Girls. Total. Agriculture . 2,210 61 2,271 Athletics, sports, etc. 129 106 235 Art . 340 239 370 Auctioneer.. 39 19 Aviator . 90 1 91 Army and navy.23 ... 23 Business . 1,382 816 2,198 Clerical . 361 2,715 3.076 Communication . 99 18 117 Engineering . 2,386 1 2,387 Government work..... 138 9 147 Homemakers . • 245 245 Law snforcement. 17 3 20 Literary . 88 96 184 Professional . 2,436 10,243 12,678 Science . 105 18 123 Social and religious.. 22 155 177 Stage or platform.... 51 1ST 240 I$hlIroada . 168 ... 168 Trades . 952 114 1,066 • Miscellaneous . 34 36 70 Totals.10,849 15,065 25,914 While any such tabulation is open to the objec tion that some vague or uncertain quality may at tach to the replies, yet it affords a basis for interest ing speculation. It may as well serve for an attack on the general system of vocational training as to support it. What it does contain worth while is an indication of the ways the-pupils in the public schools are seeking to shape their lives.. A few more then one-fifth of the boys propose to go back to the farm. A similar group plan to take up engineering, and another of about the tame size will engage in other professional work. Of the remaining less than two-fifths a third expect to enter business, leaving about 18 per cent of the entire number for the other classifications. The great num ber of girls listed as planning on professional work is accounted for by the fact 7,970 expect to become teachers, 1,218 aim to be nurses, and 799 plan to make music their life work. On none of the an swers can greater reliance be placed than these, for the girls will probably carry out their plans. What the report emphasizes, if anything, is the aspiration of the boys for “white collar” jobs. That ia not to be wondered at. The boy of ability and am bition naturally seeks to equip himself* for such places. Until some change comes over our social system, through which the so-called “overall” occu pations will be given better standing than comes through mere wages, the drift will be in the other di rection. The boy is not to blame, if he turns his pursuit of fame and fortune along the lines in which he has seen those who have gone before him succeed. More than mere vocational training will be needed to alter this tendency of mankind. School men may aa well set themselves to the problem, for it is now their greatest challenge. BACK TO TijE FARM FOR MRS. MAGNUS. Eyebrows are being raised in Washington over something other than oil. The wife of a senator has declared herself homesick for the farm. To the amazement of the quid nuncs and high brows of capital society, this good woman admits she is not happy, even with her prospect for adknission into at least the outer fringes of the dizzy whirl of society. You know a senator’s wife can glimpse herself every now and then in “The Mirrors of Washington.” Mrs. Magnus Johnson knows some joys those sophisticated persons may have heard of but never realized. She has seen a baby chick pip its shell, and then come forth, soon to stand a delicious little ball of fuzzy down. Little calves are coming to town, and baby lambs, and a colt or two. All theae appeal to tbo woman heart that has warmed to cud dling babies of her own. Then all the other wonders that are now coming to pass, in forest and field, in garden and everywhere under the April sky call to her. No wonder she is homesick. What can Washing ton offer her in place of the things she is accustomed to? She may go down to the Botanical garden, or watch the coming of the leaves along the avenues; Cabin John drive may lure her, but none of these will fill the void that aches for the farm. Mrs. Mag nus Johnson may never have heard the ragtime 3ong: "I think your big city la very, very pretty. But I want to bo there, X want to see there— Down on the farm.” *lt is motherhood, the mofherhood of nature call ing to her, and she will not be happy until she has responded to that call, down on the farm. —, --• McAdoo supporters are claiming the Iowa dele I gation, but they are ignoring the fact that some of them are outspoken anti McAdoo, and none are in structed. The fight at Davenport has just been ad journed to New York, that is all. A luncheon club speaker sought to classify all the fools in the world, but it it a safe guess some got away. There are too many kinds for one man to know them all. The Irish Free State puts in with Uncle Sam on i the crusade against the rum runners. Life on the Atlantic may yet become quite an exciting affair. Senator Pepper wants a national baseball monu ment erected at the capital. Why not wait until Washington wins a pennant? An Omaha judge has just sentenced a speeder to walk exclusively for 60 days. Wonder how the sen tence will work out? So, Omaha is to be dry as dust this summer. All right, but pleaae do not stop the sprinkling wagons. Charley Gardner wants a slogan for Ak-Sar-Ben. How would “Go get ’em" do? Hurling of charges at Washington will soon give way to hurling of baseballs. A candidate says he can see light wines and hcer, but does not say where. Iowa democrats fight just as earnestly ss if they expected to( win. Charley Bryan knows now where Charley Graff stands. Cock Robin can now say ‘‘1 told you so." SUNNYSIDE UP 7ake Comfort,nor forget Mat Sunrise nrterfguqdj^ye t - DAY DREAMS. I long for the days of the barlow knife, And the sore toe tied with yam; For the "mumblepeg" and the "Boston taw" In the shade of the moss-grown barn. I even yearn for a stone-bruised heel. Or a back burned red by the sun; Fur the old-time zest for my couch of rest I had when the day was done. I long for the days of the "sight unseen," And the peg tops spun with twine: For my old-time place down at eecond base As one of the village "Nine." I even yearn for the Anger bunged Of the thumb with a ragged split: Or the old-time lump on my bulging brow That showed where the baseball lilt. I long for the days of the swimmtn' hols, And the “swish" of the old fishllne; * For the "crockrfes," "aggies," "glassies" and The "nealies” that once were mins. I even yearn for the blistered bands That came from the old grub hoe; For the appetite that came with night In the days of the long ago. It is rather difficult to get Alliance people all het up over the oil investigations down in Washington. It will be remem bered that Alliance was at one time about as deeply Interested in potash as Sinclair Is In Teapot Dome. A lot of people along the line of the Union Pacific tre thinking seriously of Having •» Law Passed compelling General Manager Jeffers and Chief Claim Agent Watts wear distinguish ing badges. They look so much alike that people often tell one secrets that are Intended for the other, Jeffers and Watts enjoy it, because it affords each an opportunity to get some- • thing on the other. Nebraska Limerick. There was a young man ln'Alllanca Who had only one button for tleancs. At a swell party bell He rushed from the hall. For It had betrayed Its reliance. A tourist drove up a flivver to a filling station at Bridge port the other day and shouted: "Gimme half gallon of gas and & half pint of oil!” "Great gosh, they’ve begun putting the durned things on a diet!” exclaimed the garage man. > The political campaign is deadly quiet In a certain western Nebraska community’, compared with the excitement going on in a certain church sewit)g society. One elderly sister had her 1ialr bobbed and missed the next meeting o? the society. But she heard about some of the caustic remarks passed by her sisters concerning her bobbed hair, and now the ecclesiastical fireworks la something gorgeous. In his campaigning around Charles H. Sloan often runs Into some young fellow who served with his song overseas. And right there and then Mr. Sloan adds a staunch supporter of his candidacy. • ________ % An ardent republican at Valentine proposes g, ticket made up of Coolidge and Dawes. We have an enlarged crayon por trait of Charley Dawes playing second fiddle to anybody. A swing around the Nebraska circle right now Is a liberal education in optimism. The partisan Investigators down Wash ington wav would b" Interested If they came west and got the reaction of the people towards all that evidence of ex bandits, forgers and homicidal suspects. Next Tuesday is primary day, hut a lot of fellows will be so busy cussing the things that are that they will neglect to vote to make things what they should be. WILL M. MAUPIN. f A Merchant Marine Bill | From tbs Kuna City Journal. Representative (Jeorge tV. Ed monds. republican, of Pennsylvania and ranking member of the commit tee on merchant marine, ha* Intro duced a bill In congress calculated to aid our merchant marine without the payment of subsidy. The aids in the subsidy hill Incor porated In the new bill are: The Insurance clause, which allows the shipping board to carry through Its insurance department such Insur ance on Its sold ships as would be exported If satisfactory terms, and rates are not obtainable In this country. Provides that BO per cent or as nearly as possible to that percentage shall be carried In our ships. That the army and navy transport shall be abolished and that merchant ships shall be used for this purpose, and that all movement of anny and navy material shall be made In American ships. Provides for the establishment of a Joint commission between the ship ping board and the Interstate com merce commission for any purpose that may arise where the joint inter ests rnny be involved, and also places section 18 of the merchant marine act In such "a position that It can bfe made operative. (Section 28 prohibits special Joint railroad and steamship rates except In connectldn with Amer ican vessels.) Describe* the home port of a ship so that It can be properly placed In any mortgages or other financing of shipping property. In addition to these aids, Mr. Ed monds has added a number of new sections calculated to aid our mer chant marine. One provides for load lines on ships In the foreign trade, Mr. Edmonds explaining that "recent requirement* of load lines on vessels in several foreign countries on ships of foreign registry forces ns into the position of the necessity of having * loan tine of our own. so that we can obtain recognition of our load line by these marine powers of reciprocal arrangements. Again, the pilferage section extends the United States law* In Interstate and foreign com merce to the numerous Intermediaries, like wharves and warehouses, auto mobiles. trucks, lighters, wagons, etc., which are not covered by thi* section at present, and are subject to the local laws. Interpreted and carried out by local authorlllea. It* Deserved It. "If T style 20 klsse* from you. what kind of larceny would that be'.’" asked the wise on*. "I should call It grand.” sighed the sweet young thing without, bat ting an eyelish. B’eimity—life sen tence. /-—> I Road to the Fountain y/ From the Milwaukee Jourtitl. They're still hunting It. Ponce dc Leon tried to find the fountain of youth by trailing through the Jungles In search of a mythical spring. The historian looks on him as a misguided man. who wreaked Ills disappointment on the natives. But the Ponce de Leons continue to live right down to our time. We have had the gland specialists snd the gland robbers. And now it Is announced In New York that If the fading beauty will only sit a few times a week for a period of three months exposed to the X ray, her wrinkles and double chin will disap pear and the contour of her face will gradually be changed back to that of her girlhood. What a happy pros pect! Always It fa the short cut to the fountain we seek. We forget that the way to beauty—beauty at 40 or 60 as well as at 20— Is good health. Good health means more than beauty of face—It means a radiance of energy that carries bodily charm. Good health Is within reach of near ly everyono who would attain It. The fountain step Is to take Invoice of one's bodily condition—a health ex amination. Then, In the light of that knowledge, apply such rulea of living as will build up instead of tear down. That Is the rood to the fountain and It Is a good deal better way than to be forever trying to rub away the crow's feet and the wrinkles.

[BEE W.YM AIlN llltIMi III.MI l‘ Indian Reviews Case for the Indian | •_j Winnebago, Neb.—To th# Editor of The Omaha Bee: I cannot control myself from repeating the true wo man’s voice which ia heard from far In east, whose woman’* heart ha* pleaded *o eloquently for the poor red men. The material* for her story have been taken from official docu ment*. The sad revelation of broken faith, of violated treatiei and of In human deed* of violence will bring a flush of shame to the cheek* of those who love their country. They will wonder how our rulers have dared to so trifle with Justice and provoke the anger of God. The In dian owns no telegraph, employ* no press reporter, and hi* side of the story la unknown to the people. Na tions, like Individuals, reap exactly what they bow; they who sow rob bery reap robbery. The seed sowing of Iniquity replies In a harvest of blood. The American people have ac cepted as truth the teaching that the Indians were a degraded, brutal race offisavages, whom It was the will of God should perish at the approach of civilization. If they do not say with our Puritan father* that these are the Hlttitea who are to be driven out before the the servants of the Lord, they do accept the teaching that manifest destiny will drive the In dian* from the earth. Th* Inexorable ha* no tear* or pity at th* cries of anguish of the doomed race. Ahab never speaks kindly of Naboth, whom he ha* robbed of hi* vineyard. It soothes conscience to cast mud on th* character of th* one whom we have wronged. Th* people have laid th# causes of Indian ware at the door of the trader, th* people on the border, the Indian agents, the army, and the Department of the Interior. None of these are respon sible for the Indian wars, which cost the United States $500,000,000 and tens of thousands of valuable lives. In the olden time the Indian trader was the Indian’s friend. The relation was one of mutual de pendence. If the trader oppressed the Indian he was in danger of losing his debt. If the Indian refused to pay his debts, the trader must leave the country. The factors and agents of the old fur companies tell us that their goods were as safe In the unguarded trad ing poEt as in the civilized village. The pioneer settlers have had too much at stake to excite an Indian massacre, which would overwhelm their loved ones in ruin. The army la not responsible for Indian wars; they are "men authority,” who go where they are sent. The men who represent the honor of the nation have a tradition that lying is a dis grace and that tnert lorreits cnarac ter. General Crook expressed the feeling of the army when he replied to a friend who said, “it is hard to go on such a campaign." "Yes, It Is hard; but, sir, the hardest thing Is to go and flBht those whom you know; are in the right.” The Indian bureau is often unable to fulfill the treaties, because congress has failed to make the appropriations. If Us agents are not men of the highest character, It Is largely due to the fact that we send a man to execute this difficult trust at a remote agency and expect him to support himself and family on $1,1100 a year. The Indian bureau represents a system which is a blun der and a crime. The Indian is the only human being within the territory who has no indi vidual right in the soil. He is not amenable to or protected by law. The executive, the legislative and judicial departments of the government recog nize that he has a posseseory right In the soil; but his title Is merged in the tribe—tbs msn has no standing before tho law. A Chinese or s Hottentot would have, but the native, true American Is left pitiably helpless. This system grew out of our relations at the first settlement of the country. The Iso lated settlements along ths Atlantic coast could not ask ths Indians, who outnumbered them ten to one to ac cept the position of wards. No wise policy was adopted, with altered cir cumstances, to train tho Indians for citizenship. Treaties were mads of the same binding force of the consti tution; but these treaties wer unful filled. It may be doubted whether one single treaty has ever been ful filled as It would have been If It had been made with a foreign power. The treaty has been made as between two independent sovereigns. Sometimes each party has been Ignorant of the wishes of ths other; for the heads of both parties sf the treaty have been on the Interpreter’s shoulders, and he was the owned creature of corrupt men, who desired to use the Indians as a key to unlock the nation's tress ury. Pledges solemnly made have been shamelessly violated. The In dian has had no redress but war. In these wars ten whits msn wars killed to one Indian, and ths Indians who wars killed have coat ths government *100,000 each. Than cams a new treaty, mors violated faith, another war, until we have not 100 miles be tween ths Atlantic and Pacific which has not boon tho scans of an Indian massacre. Ail this while Canada has had not Indian wars. Tours truly, CHIEF MA-NI-SHI-KAN. (Signify) STAND-ON-EARTH. Maybe Bo; Maybe So.
