Where Relief ii Needed.
By laws enacted by tbe last Ne
braska legislature tba governor has
been relieved of a large part of tba
labor formerly devolving upon him
in connection with applications for
pardons and parolee, the Pardon
board being charged with conducting
the hearings and making recommen
dations to him upon each case. But
tbe time of the governor la still taken
up altogether too largely with a
similar class of cases presented by
applications for requlsitlona upon
Nebraska from other states for tbe
delivering up of persons accused of
crime and the protests and objections
urged by the parties for whom the
requisition are asked. There la.no
good reason that we know of why the
requisition business should not also
be handed over to a board properly
constituted with tha rnv.mnp m.li

condition of tbe country could soon
be restored to normal. Judging from
reports and statements of Dun's and
other commercial authorities. Even
with many extraneous obstacles to
meet, the movement of trade con
tinues encouragingly toward higher
atandarda Dun'e says. "In spite of
war. Industrial disputes and other In
fluences tending to Impair confidence
and retard enterprise, tbe movement
of trad contlanea large, although
still below producing capacity and
tha recent gradual Improvement Is
maintained."
It la extremely unfortunate to have
had a train of oonfldence-ahakfng ele
ments assert themselves at a time
when the tide of commercial activity
waa already low, though beginning to
rise. We may Judge for ourselves
how fast and firm would be the bust
nesa Improvement If these outside
factora were withdrawn, or better
till, had not projected themaelves.
It is giving business hardly a square
deal or a fair chance to Judge of Its
tone under such etrcufnatances.
The galna which are indicated
by bank clearings and railroad
earnlnga abow what a struggle In
dustry la having to maintain a bal
ance between quickened demands on
tha one hand and labor disputes and
alack trade oa the other. Yot the
tendency Is upward, which is some
encouragement, and our hope must
lie In our ability to steady buBinaaa
conditions and strengthen business
confidence.
Tie Stat and Publio Utilities.
The tendency toward atate com
missions for regulating public utility
corporal lone la quite marked. Four
teen states now have such commis
sions with regulatory power over
companies supplying gaa. electrio
light transportation, telephone and
water to cltlea, whereaa five years
ago only two states, Mausachusetta
and New York, had them. Twenty-
seven states now have commlaalona
exercising control of varied decree
over one or more classes of utilities.
Including steam railroads.
Theae facta and figures were re!
cently recalled by Arthur 8. Huey, a
publio utility expert of Chlcaxo. at
the national convention of the League
of American Municipalities at At
lanta, aa showing tbe tendency of
legislation with respect to auch busi
ness; showing that tbe regulation of
public utilities has emerged from the
domain of public discussion and ex
periment Into practical usage, Tboae
who fear or dread public ownership
msy find in the proper regulations
under a system of government con
trol the desired goal. Public owner
ship often comes from corporate
abuae of privilege. It rests with the
corporate owner to say whether this
eause shall exist
Mr. Huey hits It pointedly when be

Ita very being to the publio and
therefore owes, over and above every
thing else,, the very beet service that
it can possibly render. Misuse of
power or privilege by such an insti
tution is tha short-sighted method of
inviting trouble. Tbe people are
learning how to exert control, but
the pnblle utility corporation a are
also learning how to respeot public
rights.
Apple Growing
At tha Omaba Land show and
other big exhibitions of farm prod
ucts apples occupy a lsrge place In
the center of the stage. Special at
tentlon was devoted to apples last
fall snd will be again this month at
tbe Omaha abow and nothing so fas
tened Interest on the great west
where Uiese apples are grown, as this
exhibit. Some of tbe fruit grown
slong tbe Pacific coast northsrn
states In prodigious in quality and

there are right for tbe apple, but
back of these climatic eondltiona Ilea
scientific knowledge as to their cul
ture. At any rate, land tbat a short
while ago waa worth little Is now
selling for fabulous sums because of
tbe apples It produces
Right here In Nebraska fine lus
cious apples are raised and they
make a profitable crop, as they do
wherever produced. But our N
braska horticulturists are not devot
ing the attention to tbe apple they
might well do and with profit They
should produce the prise apples of
the Omaha Land show. The state In
spector of orchards and nurseries in
Ohio tells of a man In thaj state who
cleared f 1,000 on an acre of apples.
and of another man who sold $15,000
of apples from fifty acres of land. He
says Ohio is an idesl place to grow
applea and last year produced a crop
worth $7,000,000.

THE CITY'S NIGHT.
Chicago Post.
We know the city, when at dawn
She turns sleep-hungry eves on us
But through what trial has ah rone
Tbat she must waken, weary, thus?
We know her. with a laugh at noon
Her careleas laugh at toll's unrest
Her smile that greets the twilight croon
The shadow waft her from th west.
We know the lights that flaah and glow.
The gold and silver lights that gem
Her form. In woven loop and row
A glrle and a diadem.
We know her singing and her amfle
When night Is young and Joy's afield.
But In the allent afterwhile
What brooding sorrow Is concealed?
We know her lights die, one by one,
And darkness cornea with aolamn nana
To hush the revelry and fun
And draw a veil across her facet
And then the city, lone and still.
Is hidden in her solitude,
What grief comes then her mind to fill?
upon wnai sorrow aoa sne D rood 7
We know her In her hours of light
Her times of reetlesa work and prajs
Who holds the secret of her night
When sll the songs are swept awavt
Why should she. in the gray of dawn.
Turn sad. Bleep-hungry eves to us?
