Well, who threw the first brick,
anyway?
It takes a good deal of heat to thaw
the heart of the ice trust.
Faint heart never won a ball game
any more than a fair lady.
Dr. Wiley's troubles seem to have
multiplied after he got married.
The Wiley case is adulterated, It
seems, but probably more with patent
medicine than politics.
Would it be proper, then, to refer
to the discoverer of the "Dick to Dick"
letter as a muckrakess?
According to the political advance
agents, our old friend, Berge, is get
ting ready for another splurge.
The girls who shot Millionaire
Stokes In New York are indicted on
three counts, a count to a shot.
Another proclamation giving the
reasons why over the signatures of
our Water boarders is about due.
Canada's Ideal government will be
better when it does something toward
preventing those deadly forest fires.
The only music lacking in the dem
ocratic anvil chorus Is the click of
Colonel "Johnny" Maher's typewriter.
"A Revolution is On in Hayti."
News Item. No. "A Revolution is not
on In Hayti" would be a real news
Item.
Mr. Bryan names two presidential
possibilities from Texas, but neither
Cone Johnson nor Joe Bailey Is among
them.
This Damon and Pythias act be
tween Senator Hitchcock and Would
be Senator Shallenberger is almost
pathetic.
Why should not congress begin in
vestigating Ty Cobb for stealing
enough bases to beat Washington's
ball team?
The War department has Jobs for
college graduates on the Philippine
constabulary at $100 a month. What

Champ Clark says hoodlums run
nine-tenths of our elections. Was
Champ "put over" by the one-tenth

The direct primary levels all. The

police Judge and for supreme Judge
occupy slde-by-slde window space.
They were to have excavated the
Maine last January. But, anyhow. Its

Senator Bailey does not know all about?

Now, there you go again, trying to
besmirch a fair name.
No doubt some of the men who de
cided to tell the truth about the Lori

Involve a lot of blackwashlng from
Lorimer's apologists and defenders.
This qcean-to-ocean automobile
highway will look like the trail of a
serpent, or perhaps the map made by
a centipede procession, if it takes In
all the cities and towns that would
like to be located on It.
The Nebraska rural life commission
Is starting out by taking up the ques
tion of taxation. We should think
we would have had a taxation commis
sion if it were the tax problem that
the legislature wanted tackled.
The democrats will meet in state
convention at Fremont, while their
old-time allies, the populists, will hold
their stat convention In Lincoln. In
the division of the show it looks as if
Fremont captured the main perfor

i
Is Intensive Farming Losing?
Ad agricultural and good roads ex
pert at the real estate men's conven
tion In Denver raises the cry once
more about soil robbery and renews
the dark prediction that unless our
farmers give attention to the methods
of Intensive agriculture the "soil of
the country will be exhausted in fifty
years." He states unequivocally that
farmers are not acting on the scientific
advice given them as to intensive cul
tivation and that this is the source
of much discouragement to govern
ment experts.
We are at a loss to know by Just
hat method of computation this ex
pert figures out that fifty years will
be required to impoverish all our soil.
James J. Hill, who used to make sim
ilar forecasts, has even placed the
limit as low as twenty-five years.
Though, be it said for Mr. Hill, he
seems to have had his gloom dispelled
and Is now viewing life very cheer
fully from the cool, breeze-blown
coast of Labrador.
We may be permitted to doubt
whether this expert is correct when he
says that the farmers are not learning
the lessons of intensive agriculture.
There are evidences to show that they
are. The steady Increase In produc
tion per acre is one of them, one of
the very best of them. Competitions
and schools of farming all over the
oountry are others. It does not seem
quite reasonable to believe that, hav
ing had all the advantages of Intensive
crop raising pointed out so systemat
ically to them, the wise old farmers of
this country would deliberately turn
their backs upon them. We believe
that Intensive farming is making head
way every year and that there Is
abundant proof of it. The govern
ment's own agencies show it. Their
aid in reclaiming and Irrigating land
Is the essence of intensive farming. To
take a different view one must believe
that all the agricultural colleges, ex
positions and government experimental
stations are failing to accomplish re
sults and the people are not prepared
to believe that.
Athletics in College Course.
The board of regents of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin has made athletics
a part of the regular course of study,
which, when combined with literary
work, will count toward a bachelor of
arts degree. As great an innovation
as this Is, It seems to be but the log
ical result of the tendency of large in
stitutions in late years. Development
of the physical side of the youth has
come to be generally recognized as
quite essential in the intellectual ed
ucation and Incorporating athletics
into the curriculum is but reducing
them to a more scientific basis which
will tend to promote their value as a
factor in tne young man's training.
Wisconsin takes this step at a time
when it Is engaged in trying to reform
athletics among the institutions com
posing what is known as the "Big
Eight," and therefore Its action is be
ing criticised as an attempt to entice
students away from other schools.
This comes under the head of prosely
ting, a capital offense with the Big
Eight. All that criticism, however, is
purely technical and may be entirely
ill-founded. The point is, Wisconsin
has taken the most advanced ground
in a direction many Institutions have
tended for years, and If it can accom
plish the two-fold purpose of reducing
college athletics to a better science
and purge them of all unfairness and
unsportsmanshlp It certainly will be
doing something which other colleges
and universities will sooner or later
see fit to emulate.
No school, college or university can
afford to be Indifferent to the physical
development of youth. That is a tru
ism. It was a long time in Impress
ing Itself, but It has finally done that.
Now. the only thing left is to perfect
the ways and means of doing what is
conceded to be necessary without
overdoing it. If Wisconsin has shown
the way, then all the better. Of
course, Its Innovation will be an ex
periment watched with critical obser
vation.
The Shelving of Lord Kitchener.
Americans who have not taken
the pains to Inform themselves that
politics dominates the British war of
fice, may bo surprised to know that
England has sent Lord Kitchener, its
greatest soldier and military genius,
to the quiet, sequestered post of pro
consul In Egypt, instead of placing
him in charge of the army's reorgani
zation. For Lord Kitchener had the
hardihood to say what he thought
were the defects and remedies of the
army, which is admittedly In need of
reorganizing.
Lord Kitchener evidently speaks
his mind too plainly. He is what, In
the vernacular of American kings of
commerce, would be known as an
"unsafe man." Therefore, put him
off in Egypt, where he cannot in
terfere with the bureaucrats in the
British war department. The argu
ment they are using Is that he Is
"advanced in years." He is 63 and
looks to be about 60; as robust and
strong as most men of 40, as was
generally remarked on the occasion of
his late tour across the American con
tinent. It Is estimated that in five
years Lord Kitchener could bring
Britain's army back to a high stand
ard. Certainly he would be good for
five years of hard work.
Too bad tor Great Britain if it has
allowed politics in the military arm
of the government, for that Is an arm
on which Englishmen lean with much
complacency. It is conceded to be de
moralized In organization, poorly
manned and entirely inadequate to
the needs of the kingdom. All this
Lord Kitchener pointed out and the
ways to reform it. He ought to know,
since for forty years he participated
as a leader In all of England's great
military engagements.
But In Egypt some diplomacy Is re
quired and Lord Kitchener is ad
mitted to have enough of that to
make a good proconsul. When he re
turned from the orient this last time,
England professed to be perplexed to
find a place large enough for his use
fulness, where the kingdom might
profit by his services. That now
proves to have been an illusion. What
was wanted was a place small enough
to hide him with some show of dig
nity.
Commission Flan Signers.
Although The Bee's commission
plan petitions have already been signed
up by many more than the necessary
number of voters to make them effec
tive, we are constantly receiving re
quests from voters who want to at
tach their signatures, but who have
been missed by our solicitors.
There has been no Intention or de
sign In the circulation of these peti
tions to discriminate and we do not
want anyone who has not been asked
for his signature to feel that he has
been purposely overlooked. We have
not the slightest doubt that If the peti
tions could be presented to every
qualified voter In the city 95 per cent
of them would promptly sign up.
For those who have been missed,
and who wish to have their names on
the petition that puts the commission
plan machinery In motion, we have
placed blanks In The Bee business
office, corner Seventeenth and Far
nam streets, where they will be acces
sible generally to the public for a few
daya yet.
Political Archaeology.
Our amiable democratic contem
porary would like very much to side
step "the more or less interesting
archaeological question" as to who
threw the first brick, and to unload
responsibility for the resolutions de
nouncing Mr. Bryan, adopted almost
without dissent In the recent demo
cratic county convention, made up of
that sheet's proteges and employes.
Political archaeology never was its
favorite study, for there are too many
musty documents in the archives that
it prefers to leave sealed and un
opened. The records of the Jackson
Ian club, for example, are still In
scribed, unless secretly expunged, with
the following resolution adopted by
that repository of pure and undented
democracy In the heyday of its power,
not so many years ago:
Whereas, A publication known as the
Omaha World-Herald assumes to speak for
the democratic party of Douglas oounty,
and for many years pant has reoelved some
recognition and patronage therefrom; and,
Whereas, Said publication has proved
Itself recreant to every trujit reposed and
an Ingratc to every favor shown, and has
wantonly and stupidly betrayed the party
and its nominees; therefore, be It
Resolved, By the Jacksonlan club of Ne
braska, That this sheet does not represent
the democratic party of this county and
has forfeited all claims to Its confidence;
that democrats should beware of Its libels
and falsehoods And should know to a cer
tainty that It belongs to the tribe and
speaks the language of the dervishes and
defaulters.
Delving into political archaeology is
a more or less Interesting pastime
even In hot weather days..
Wait for the Verdict.
It might be Just as well If the vari
ous engineers and experts would make
fewer guesses as to whether the bat
tleship Maine was blown up from
within or without. The country had
just about relapsed Into the comfor
table belief that it was an exterior
explosion, when along came General
Blxby, chief of the engineers, with the
explanation that such a thing was im
possible that it was the explosion of
the ship's own magazines that sank it
and nothing else. As we were about
to accept that, after more digging and
developing, "expert" opinion swings
back to the theory of an exterior
blow-up, leaving us high and dry
between the two. Of course, from
the day the Maine went down, and
war was declared on Spain, opinion
has differed as to the cause and con
ditions of the ship's explosion, so that
no one may hope to settle the ques
tion conclusively now. It would seem,
however, that as long as the govern
ment has gone to the trouble and ex
pense of resurrecting the remains of
the vessel, to find out the truth, If pos
sible, we may as well defer the ver
dict as to how the ship came to sink,
it there is such a thing as determining
it exactly, until we have the official
report, which should be near at hand.
Writing to The Bee from Brad
shaw, John B. Dey ventures to ques
tion the standing as a republican of
David Anderson, South Omaha's pio
neer. We would have one and all un
derstand that "Uncle Dave" Is the
original and unterrlfled republican in
these parts. He was present as a del
egate to the convention at Philadel
phia In which the republican party
was born, In 1856, and republicanism
exudes from his every pore. "Uncle
Dave" Is now In his eightieth year,
and he has voted for every republican
candidate for president, beginning
with Fremont aud Lincoln down to
Roosevelt and Taft. The old political
war horse at Bradshaw owes "Uncle
Dave" an apology.

An American Claim Upheld.
New York Tribune.
The announcement that the British sov
ereign, acting as arbitrator, has decided
the American claim against Chill In our
favor is highly gratifying. The Alaop
claim has always been rewarded hers as
legitimate and Just, and the dispute over
it chiefly Involved the question whether
Chill, having seised by conquest the terri
tory of Arlca, should be bound by the ob
ligations resting against It. The decision
that she Is thus bound Is In accordance
with equity and with the general principles
of International law. The Impartiality of
the decision, which in any case would be
above susplslon, is emphasized by the cir
cumstance that the two parties to the con
troversy are those with which, of all
Aemerlcan states, British relations are
most Intimate and most cordial.

OMAHA, July 19. To tbe Editor of Ths

Bee are very much Interested as to my
views upon public questions, nor do I
think they are are Interested as to whether
my views at ths present time are consistent
with those held and expressed by me at
some previous time. Thinking this I do
not propose to tag your space or their
patience except for one last word In this

I welcome the opportunity to make public
retraction of It. If I did use It In con

In the matter I want to declare with all
possible emphasis, that I would rather

Medical Etiquettes
OMAHA, July 19. To the Editor of The
Bee: The accounts you print of a doctor
taking off the splints because the patient
did not pay up and another refusing to
respond to a call to set a broken arm are
damaging to the medical profession as a
whole. Why don't you print the names of
the doctor In each cas so he may explain
If he can and at least exonerate the rest
of us from breach of medical etiquette!
M. D.
Note For the same reason that you ask
that your name be withheld. We have
given sufficient details for the doctors to
follow up, but they have never, to our
knowledge, expelled a fellow doctor from
their medical societies for any such mis
conduct. Cat the Weeds.
OMAHA, July 19. To the Editor of The
Bee: The Union Pacific, one of the great
est systems of railroads in the country,
has It headquarters In Omaha. The new
building under course of construction, soon
to be occupied by the large number of em
ployes here of that road, is a credit to the
city and stats. One block from the Union
Pacific headquarters building Is one of
the main business streets, and within al
most a stone's throw to the east, also to
the north, are vacant lots with a growth of
weeds, some of them waist high. On Mon
day as ths "good roads" auto parade pro
ceeded to the "den" I wonder If our Fre
mont neighbors noticed some of these
numerous downtown lots overgrown with
rank weeds.
Many people pass through our city and
during these summer months numbers of
them traverse the streets In autos, not
alone for pleasure, but rather to learn as
much as possible of a city In which at some
future time they may invest capital In some
enterprise. They cannot help seeing what
we who live here see every day, to our
shame be It said, and such things have
an lnfluonce which Is not for the good of
this city. In smaller towns the city dads
would order all weeds removed by the own
ers of the lots, and If not done In a reason
able time the city would have the work
done and the expense assessed against the
lots. The weeds usually disappear in short
order as they also would In Omaha if proper
attention was given the matter by the ones
whose duty it Is to attend to such things.
W. O. TORREY, im Cass Street.
DR. WILEY AND HIS WAYS.
New York Post: We may be sure that
If President Taft does finally demand Dr.
Wiley's resignation. It will be only because
he Is convinced that a great principle Is
Involved in the petty charge, which he can
not afford to overlook.
Boston TranscJlpt: We are confident
that President Taft will not permit such
flimsy considerations to Interefere with his
perception of the injustice of this attempt
to get Dr. Wiley out of the way of the
adulterators and poisoners of the people.
St. Louis Republic: Dr. Wiley, in short
is a crank. Whether an honest or a dis
honest one, he Is none the less volatile
and full of whims. The good effects of his
work have been minimized and modified by
the manner In which the work has been
done.
New York World: Dr. Wiley's dismissal
would be a griev'ous loss to the publio
service. It would be unfortunate for the
people and the Taft administration. It
would ba fortunate only for those who are
deprived of their profits from fraudulent
preparations and adulterated foudstultx.
Chicago Post: Speaking broadly, the
enemies of Dr. Wiley are the enemies of the
people of this country. The chief chemist
has unfalteringly stood between the people
and the cheaters and poisoners in foods.
That he should be dismissed on any back
stairs, underground, snsp judgment of Mr.
Wlrkersham or anyone else Is unthinkable.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: If Dr. Wiley
must go and thousands on thousands of
people who never saw the man nor could
tell what position he holds will hope that
he need not If he must go. It will be in
cumbent upon President Taft to secure as
his successor a man no less able and ener
getic, no less enthusiastic and earnest on
the side of honest food.

He has hewn to the line no matter whose

The people have confidence that he Is not
making any grandstand play to win prefer
ment for himself, but Is fighting a brave
and true fight for the principles that he
believes should prevail.
Kearney Hub: A report of the recent
meeting of the Nebraska Progressive Re
publican league states that Vice President
Van Dusen read the national declaration
of principles, a paragraph at a time, fre
quently stopping to remark that "we have
that In Nebraska." After Mr. Van Dusen
had finished the reading he Is said to have
remarked: "We've got to have some new
Issues In this state, because we've got the
old ones nearly eaten up already." And
so that's the trouble. Mr. Van Dusen Is
just "hungry," having Insurged so hard
that his hunger demands new Issues which
ths national league Is no longer able to

Do Your Cooking in the Coo!
A hot kitchen is little better than a prison in summer. But
the range is there, so all the cooking ana the washing must be
done there, too.
What a relief it would be to move the range where you
pleased. You can do this with a New Perfection Oil Cook
stove cook your dinner out on the porch, if you like. It is the
only range that is really portable that works eaually well in
any place. There are no connections to be made, as in a gat
range ; no wiring, as with an electric stove ; no sooty flues and
ash-filled grates, as with coal or wood.
The long, enameled chimneys carry the heat directly up to
saucepans, oven or boiler ; you get full value from your fuel,
without waste.

RIFFLES FROM THE HOT WAVE.
In Michigan the weather man
.served days all piping hot
The perspiration dripped and ran
Ana breexes cooled us not.
The comments or the press have failed
His scorching powers to squelch.
He Is a red hot number
But he can't compare with Welsh.
In great New York the weather msn
Has blistered every nose.
The water bubbles boiling hot
From the spray upon the hose;
They fry eggs on the pavements
And boll eggs In the bav,
But ole Br'er Welsh Is beating that
Two thousand miles away.
Dear Rrother Welsh, you're working hard
At least that's what I hear.
And tho' your pokers lost to sight
To memr'y It is dear.
But In mem'ry let It still abide
I do not care a penny
Just dole your hot ays without stint
You needn't save me any.
