' This deserting the farm by Perm tylvaola' young men la a bad thing.

At showing bow faith fully he hat kept bis word, look what he haa done ta prevent action on th reciprocity bill. It look at t Omaha enaperln teodeat of schools la to be president of the National Educational ajuocia Uon. Remember how'he stood on an Ak-Sar-Ben float costumed as Reman warrior, reaplendent In a tin coat-of-mail and a cockscomb helmet ef crimson horse hair? Did Hammond Kadga the King t Such questions as the outcome of the Morocco situation, the fate of th British Mouse of Lords, the 'French ministry and the new government In Portugal, with their International as pects, pale Into utter Insignificance beside this new question ef world wide vitality Did John Hays Ham mond nadse the king? John Hays Hammond, as most everybody Knows by now, wss the spe cial envoy, that Is, the envoy extraor dinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United. States to London upon the occasion of the coronation of King George V and Mary Queen, and coarse rumor has it that he got upon such Intimate terms with the king as to be able to edge up to that sovereign and give him ft poke In the fibs without sustaining any ill results. Now, what the world wants to know la, did he, or did he -notT It Is the International query of the hour. Borne folks may not know exactly why this is' so, except that Congress man Henry of Texas says It Is. Con gressman Henry sees dire evil to the American republic in such undue fa miliarity between one of its sovereign citizens nnd the British sovereign. For ouf own part we would rather feel like extending congratulations to our special envoy upon ingratiating him self to deeply in the confldenco and esteem of kings es to be able to nudge one of them Jn the side without re taliation. It is not every man who can do that. Nor can we quite see the connection between this untoward incident and the occupancy of the am-, basaadorahlp to Berlin by Colone! Hammond, as our Texas friend points out. One thing that would seem to discredit Squire Henry's speech la that he made one like it a week ago and now admit that If he had not been so warm around the collar that day he would not have made It. , Governor WiUon On the lawyer. Governor Woodrow Wilson la evi dently determined to . keep after hit How lawyers until they see their Heed of improved ethics and better methods of legal procedure, for he has made several speeches in the last year severely critical of them. Hie address before the Kentucky Bar association along much the tame linea as bis notable address to the National Bar association last August. Dr. Wilson Is quite right, we think, in saying that the lawyer and not the layman is the one to do the reforming. But with alt the temptations to yield to the ten dency of modern commercialism, is the lawyer really going to do much reforming T He hat not to indicated. All that the New Jersey governor tays by way of criticism might -be summed up ia this: That eagerneas for tat feet spoil the thought of fine ethics. At Dr. Wilson said a year ago, th modern lawyer Is more of a business man than a professional man; afid in large measure be It a specialist. One trouble ia that the profession or business hat been so overrun in late years that many of the mediocret are crowded to th wall and the scramble for practice Is in danger of descend ing to a low plane survival of tb At test. Buch a condition, of course, it not conducive to idealism or fine' eth ics. And those who, like Dr. Wilson. would elevate the profession, find it very bard to do. Another trouble is the magnifying importance given to tb law's technicalities, which many times not only thwarts the purpose of the law and cheats Justice, but makes farce of one and travesty of the other. The Income Amendment. With the action ot New York tbirty- ona ttates have ratified the propoeed Income tax amendment of the thirty five necessary to give the three-fourths majority. Ten states have rejected It and the legislatures of five adjourned without taking action. But this lack of a three-fourths vote does not mean that th proposition Is lost. Congress laid down a rule la 18C8 which holds that a proposed amendment la always pending until carried and that, while no ttate may withdraw ita ratification, any that bat rejected may later ratify. It stands to reason, therefore,' that th legislatures of four more states will act favorably upon this proposed amendment. me aeiay in rauncation seems a little surprising In view of the fact that both leading partlea were virtu ally committed to the proposition and that th amendment passed the senate unanimously and with only fourteen votes against it in tne nouse; more over, that it has had the aupport of every constitutional lawyer in this senate, at well at ot President Taft. In 185, when the supreme court first upheld th validity of th) income tax clause of the 1894 tariff bill and an nulled It a few montha later, as con' servatlve a man aa Justice White, now chief justice, waa the foremost advo cate on the bench of the validity of tb tax. The sentiment of this country, we may well believe. Is favorable to glv Ing congress power to levy a federal Income tax. If it were not, such determined effort to that end would not have been made after the highest court of the land had once declared it unconstitutional. This sentiment is bated on the conviction that an In com tax may be needed for revenue and that it would reach form of wealth no other tax would. The chief argument agalnat the Income tax amendment has come from Massachu setts, some of whose people believe their state, with such vast wealth would b taxed out of proportion to Ita population strength. Though public sentiment msy V divided at to th immedHt seed of a federal Income tax, it la overwhelm Ingly for the amendment, which Is now certain to be a part of the constitu tion before another year passes. Make Omaha an Auto Gateway. The entertainment by Omaha of a party of ocean-to-ocean automobile tourists, the first large expedition to undertake the through trip In this way, should make us open our eyes to possibilities In this direction. Omaha It the main gateway of transcontinental - railroad traffic and there la no good reason why it should not also be the main gateway of trans continental auto traffic. Whether it supplants other modes of traveling or not, automobile tour ing la increasing tremendously and Is bound to increase every year. To be the gateway and outfitting station for ocean-to-ocean auto traveler would mean great prestige and aomo profit for Omaha, and Omaha can, and ahould, occupy that position on th automobile map of the country. The thing to do la to develop a transcontinental highway along the line of the old overland trail and pro vide facilities and accommodations for auto tourists stopping over that will make them prefer this route above all others. Citizenship and the Schools. At the National Educational aaso clatlon'a annual convention in San Francisco the high school department In Its report laid stress upon the Im portance of the high schopl at the place for Instructing the pupil in the principle of citizenship. "The high school today Is the arena In which our greatest educational problems should be worked out," says the report. That may be true, but the basic ele ments of citizenship should be taught to the pupil long before he gets Into the high school, while he is yet low In the grades, in fact. And the moral aspect of citizenship, more than the po litical, la the one on which chief em phasis should be laid--the Importance of personal honor and integrity. That is where our schools are weakest. They have assumed to share this task with the home and have not met It fully. The home, of course, is . the first place for the moral instruction of the child, but if the school insists on dividing that responsibility, to say nothing of performing It entirely, then It must do better than it has yet done. No citizenship Is stable or secure that does not rest upon sound Ideals of Individual integrity and personal honor. Drill thla Into the young mind ao persistently that it cannot escape it and much wip be done toward lay ing the foundation for good cltisen ship. Teach the evil of private dis honesty and public graft and the vlr toe of upright and righteous dealing between man and man and much will be added to the value of instruction for good citizenship at a branch ot common education. heedlessly Alarmed. ( Our poor self-distressed hyphen ated contemporary, the World-Herald, Is needlessly alarmed about the pend' log adoption by Omaha of the com mission plan of city government Whether the commission . plan pro duces much or little Improvement In the administration ot our municipal affairs, it it the universal opinion that at least cannot glv us anything worse than we now have, and the peo ple of Omaha are willing to take chance on a new broom that may be expected to sweep clean, if only for a little while. At to the submission of the com mission plan proposition at a special election In connection with a primary election or on a registration day, there need be no misgivings. The commit tion plan law itself provides that it must 'be submitted at a "special" elec tion, and It therefore cannot be sub mitted at a regular city election, to there Is no option about that. The only reason for joining the special election wltk a primary election or registration day will be to aave the taxpayers money, which would b needlessly wasted ia holding a special city election independent of any other election or registration day. Whether the officeholders, the fran- chlsed corporations and the liquor dealer are for or against th commls sion plan will make no difference. Th people are ready and impatient to give it a trial, and on a popular vote It will carry, even though these special Inter ests, and the World-Herald as their organ, make open or covert fight against It. When running for governor last year Mayor "Jim," out of self-respect refused to commit perjury by filing as a populist aa well aa a democrat. But candidates for placea on the dem ocratic state ticket thla year, who pre tend to higher atandards, are sub scribing under oath to false state ments In order to get votes under populist-label which doea not belong to them! Verily, the Itch for office dulls the conscience. Two more Improvement clubs have been duly organized. The experience of most of these club la that, after attaining the particular Improvements in view at the start, the club lan gaishes and lapaes into a state of sus pended animation. If all the Improve ment clubs organized In Omaha were alive and doing active business there would be nothing they could not ac complish by concerted action. Just a suggestion the barber Sunday closing ordinance ought to make torn provision by which out ot-town hotel guests may be ahaved on Sundaya without bribing someone to violate the law. , , IHooklncf Backward IhisDciy inOnmlin COMPILED rROM Of.R FILM 1 r J VIA 14.

TKcBccsLdlcruox IT TT Will They Repeat the Farcvf SILVER CREEK, Neb.. July ll.-To th Editor ot The Bee: I wonder If the demo crat will thl year repeat the blooming farce of pvittlnt a nonpartisan Judiciary plank In their platform. Being a democrat 1 would prefer to wonder In a democratic paper, but a great demoeratlo rapr in Nebraska that editorially admits that It form pubilo opinion could not vary well admit to It columns a communication from a democrat, and would not, at least from this democrat. In sharp criticism ot any of Its pet hobbles. Whether or not the present editor ot Th Be la built that way, I do not know, but I do know that hi father waa not. I sometimes Ilk to talk to the democrats, and t flatter myself there ar som democrat who Ilk occasionally to hear my gentle bassoa With your permis sion I may be able to catch a tew ot them In the column ot Th Be. Under our present parly system a non partisan Judiciary Is an Impossibility; a thing not to bf desired, even if it wer possible. What I a nonpartisan Judge? Did anybody ver e or hear of ene? No; nor never will. Will electing a democrat by republican votes, or a republican by dem ociatlc votes 'make him nonpartisan? Cer tainly not. N matter how a man may be letted, he will be Just much a party man, If he Is an honeit man, after he was elected a before h was elected, and I would think less of him it h wer not. Th only way to get a nonpartisan Judge would b to elect a man that affiliated with no party-a man who had no party politic at all. But there I not a lawyer In the whole state of Nebraska who Would fill th bill, and it there were, who Would want suoh a nonentity f But th nonpartisan Judiciary plank In the democratic platform wa not put there In good faith. It was put there In th hop that it would help elect som democrat to th supreme bench and for no other reason. Then have don with th fare and th fraud; let u hear no more ot It. But If we do wish to resort to a trick, which we ought not to wish, let us be a little more smooth and try to turn on that will fool somebody. A a matter of fact that nonpartisan judiciary plank In th democratic state platform of 1909 was not properly adopted by th convention and ought not to be taken seriously by th demoorat of th state. It was put In th platform by a di vided resolution committee In th hop, aa I have said, that It "might help elect some democrat to th supreme bench. Now what are soma ot th fact a to that plank? J waa a member of that convention and waa present at th tims th resolutions' committee mad ' It report, through it chairman, W, H. Thompson Of Orand Island. Th convention had been waiting nearly all th afternoon tor th commute to report, and finally when it came In probably two-third of th del egates had already left th hall to catch outgoing trains and th others stood with their hats in their hand ready to go, while the report wa being read. On th conclusion of the reading th ohairman of the convention, Mr. Loomla ot Fremont, Immediately submitted to vot a motion to adopt, whereupon Mr. Ferguson of Hart ington, a delegate and also a member of the stat committee, demanded to be heard in opposition to that nonpartisan Judlolary plank. Th ' delegate greeted him with hoots and howl and triad to cry him down, but h wa an old soldier, stood tils ground and finally , forced them to hear him, after which th vot was taken and th report of th resolution committee declared adopted. I should have spoken In support of Mr. Ferguson, but would net attempt to talk to that howling mob. After th convention had adjourned, In conversation with a distinguished mem ber of th resoultlona oommltt, Bishop Sunbeams by name, I guyed him 'for put ting that fool nonpartisan Judiciary plank n their report, aaylng it put ua In a hoi and that our stat commute la th fac of that declaration could not consistently mak any campaign for ' th democratic candidate. With a disgusted air he dis claimed any responsibility for It and said: That wa th work f a statesman." State conventions ar not deliberative assemblies, their deliverances. Instead ot being of any binding tore ar really en titled to very little consideration. The reso lution committee I a cut-and-drled affair mad up of a few alleged wheel horses. They go out and mix a little medicine, or, trior often, merely fill th prescription of an over-boss, and th convention, which never permitted to diagnose th political situation for Itself, usually swallows the dope at on gulp witnout ven making a wry face. To aay that w should hav a nonpar tisan Judiciary, la to aay that th Judge of our court cannot b relied on to give Impartial decision whin party Interests are affected. ,1 do not subscribe to that doctrine. I believe that our Judges, with very few exception, decide the case before them Impartially according to th law and th facts, Without regard to extraneous consideration of any sort whatever, and that, so far aa th administration of Jus tice is concerned, It does not matter th valu ot a straw whether a Judg Is a democrat or a republican. CHARLES WOOSTER. Reciprocity Versa lasara-encr. SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., July 1L To th Editor of Tha Bee. Doe any on doubt that La Follatte, -Cummin and their co conspirators, who exploit themselves as republican, persistently oppose th reciprocity treaty almply because it I championed and fearlessly advocated by our great president? And doe any un biased person doubt that those democrats In congress, who favor that measure, do so, not to please th president, but be cause they believe It to be an advance movement In favor of free trade, aa this haa always been their principal slogan and Issue in all their national campaign, while th republican statesmen and voter of th eastern and middle state oppose reciprocity with Canada, not because Pre ident Taft favor it. but because It Is Somewhat Tainted with the old democratic dogma of free trade?

DAVID ANDERSON. JiKW Ct RE FOR HIGH PRICES. Massacbaaetta' Plaa for Fraetratlaaj Trad Agreemente. Minneapolis Journal. Massachusetts I about to try a new plan for curing high price due to agree ments In restraint of trad. The general court ha passed a law whereitnder any person who has reason to believe that prices of commodities ar unduly high, may file complaint on oath In isvo supreme or superior court. The latter orders the persons or corporations complained of to how cause why there should not be an Inquiry. If no good cause I shown, a mas ter I appointed to take evidence under the usual rule In equity, and the latter, after a hearing, report hi finding and recommendation to the court, which sends them to th attorney general for ap propriate action under existing law. Tb law excuse no on from giving evidence on plea of aelf-lncrlmlnatlon, but provide that evidence so given shall not be used against th witness in criminal prosecu tion. Thus a simple and effective method of ascertaining the fact with regard to any combination or agreement that afreets the cost of living I furnished. And when th facts ar brought out. suitable action may be taken. Singularly enough very few state have any machinery by which such a Judicial inquiry may be prosecuted. For Instance, there have been suspicion on several occasion in Minneapolis that the price of ice has been raised or lowered by a combination and agreement among the companies. But there wa no effective legal machinery tor looking Into the facta Th same I true of milk, It might be true or anv cnrrtrnndltv of wMa tiaa. mnA such Stuipecttd agreements .might affect merely a city or a whole state. Nothing short of a special investigation ordered by th legislature will reach thl sort of thing now. Probably the chief advantage of the Massachusetts plan lies tn the publicity It provides ' for, and th deterrent effect reaulting therefrom.
