Some differential between klaaea at $60,000 a piece and kisses at 10 cents ft bushel. Tree planting not only helps the "City Beau tiful," but also comes within the rule of "Safety first." Despite attempted persuasion, those Italians seem still to prefer 'the bleachers to the scrim mage line. Spring plowing and planting In Europe are proceeding energetically under the direction of General Shrapnel. The pulsing vigor of spring air carries suffi cient purifying power to render Innocuous the caloric of campaigners. Hail the first of June brides South Omaha, Dundee and Florence. Where does Benson come In best man or bridesmaid? The neit time a subpoena to appear In court Is to be served on him, the eolonel will probably run to meet Abe sheriff at the gate. Aa an example of the lasting influence of obedience to authority taught In the High school, that alumni prom is a shining success. Cleveland also gets water tor 6 cents a thou sand gallons as against Omaha's charge of 21 cents a thousand gallons. Why do we pay SI cents? Now, if the city council will Just strike out that minimum rat clause while the eleotrls lighting ordinance ts in transit. It will atop most of the kicking. Charley Murphy of Tammany hall has been accused of all the sins In the political calendar, but no one can Impeach the wisdom which re strained him from fooling with a libel suit buii aaw. ' According to the colonel, big financiers hand out big campaign contributions Just the same aa they drop money in the church box. Then the churches might do better by putting their collections in the hands of experienced politicians. Jn the matter of publlo utility servlo rates It Is not a question of the general result, but of the effect on the Individual's personal bills. The wise rate-maker, therefore, looks to the little fellow who is numerous as compared with the big fellow who is few. x Natural life and Domesticity. A most lamentable illustration of woman'j Ingratitude is given In the case of the Chicago wife who asks divorce from her husband because he insists that she eat uncooked food. He la professor of dietetics and several other similarly useless branches of sublimated Ignorance, and has a profound conviction that he knows whst is good for his helpmeet She has tried his menu of raw things for more than a year, and now openly confesses that she Is not able to overcome a deep-seated longing for rare roast beef, and that the thought of a sirloin steak fills her with unutterable and unappeased yearnings. Ehe Is not only untractable, but singularly lack ing in adaptability. There was a time when man knew not a blessed thing about cookery. Why should he persist in doing things his forebears eschewed T Nature has wisely mad provision of edible roots, foliage and fruits, but perverse man in sists on turning aside from the natural life and 1-ursulng with fatuous devotion to his own de struction the application of heat In the prepara tion of his food. This brav soul In Chicago, who is trying to lead the race back to th joys of the arboreal era of man's existence, told his wife when they were wedded she was to be hi helpmeet indeed. He would make lis of her la bis experiments, and through her would demon st rate th correctness as well as th beauty of kU theories, but now she selfishly dacllnes to appreciate the delicacy of th compllmnt h paid her and wants to leav him and go back to the drudgery of pots and pans, and Hv on fried or baked, boiled or atewed, fricafoed or deviled fodder! What chance has a man got to. reform th race If bis wife acta thia way In the Wake of War. While the rare has made progress in many ways since first we have records with which to compare achievement, in on particular progress Is notable for Its absence. No improvement Is shown In the art of war. The mechanics of de struction have advanced, and man's ingenuity is now able to accomplish slaughter and devasta tion In a few hours that once took weeks or months to produce, but the net result is the same. The cry for food from stricken Poland, whore millions are starving; for medicine and nursing from pest-ridden Serbia, and now froti the devastated portions of East Prussia, proves that war is in this respect just the same as It was in the beginning, when savage tribe swooped down on savage tribe, and annihilation followed. Armies leave only wreckage behind them. As the one exception It may be noted that In recent yesrs the armed forces of the United States have several times set foot on alien soil, and each time It has been to work actual im provement. Cuba, the Philippines, Central America, China, and in some little degree Met ico, have been Improved because of the tempor ary presence there of our soldiers. In these cases the United States has given the world a splendid example of what a properly disciplined army can do In the way of construction and bet terment Our soldiers do not march In millions, and we are told they lack In the "efficiency" of the European armies. This may be true, but no trail ever left by the army of the United 8tate Is remembered because of the women and chil dren who starved after the soldiers bad marched on. It will take more than th philosophy of Nleteche to Justify the nations of Europe for their present debauch when the future sits In Judgment. The "Third Degree." The limit of application of "third degree" methods has been reached In Arizona, where officers of the law killed one and fatally Injured another prisoner, from whom they were seal ously striving to extort a confession. This prac tice of forcing a prisoner to confess, although an old one, Is opposed to th humane theory of the law, and is not warranted by any of the re quirements of Justice. On the contrary, the law contemplates that an accused prisoner will have every opportunity to establish his Innocence. 1; Is not part of th duty of the policeman to ex tort involuntary confessions from persons under arrest. Arrest Is not always conclusive evldenej of guilt, and impartial investigation quit as often establishes Innocence. Our police officers should be trained in the theory that they ari ministers of Justice, and not of vengeance, and that their true duty Is to see that the fact art established rather than that proof be offered to support them In making an arrest. Confessions secured by brutal methods may serve aa apparent Justification for arresting th accused, but the ends of Justice do not require auch service. Efficiency and Freedom. "Y canna be balth gran an' comfortable," commented one of Barrio's Scotchmen, referring to his companion's Sunday raiment. And now comes "Tom" Marshall, our volubl vice presi dent, and tells us we cannot be both efficient and free. W must, according to Mr. Marshall, aoon make our choice as between efficiency and freedom. Much depends on what Mr. Marshall consid ers efficiency. In his speech he referred to tSe German government and the Mormon church as being high typea of efficient organisation. This will be granted, but does efficiency entirely con sist of machine-like automatism in all the func tions of life? If so, th American will never be efficient, but h will ib free. .On the other hand, if productiv ability is to bo taken as a' test ror efficiency, then the American has long ago set a mark so far out Jn front that the other peoples of th world, with all their patient at tention to detail of organisation, have not yet been able to approach it Tor many years it hat been a aoure of national pride, aupported by exact figures, that th American workman la unexcelled In his production. . Not only Is thia tru of th workmen, but In other and mor Important ways has the Amer ican vindicated hi claim to efficiency. In art, philosophy, science, polities, all that goes to mak for man's welfar. th American Intellect ahlnes with a brilliancy that does not dim when placed alongside that of any other nation or age. Th American has given the world th steam boat, th tlegraph, th telephone, th typeset ting machine, th aeroplane, and a host of other things of such common servlc that folka no longer think of their origin. Even the machin ery of war Is more destructive, becauee th American Invented the multi-chambered fire arm, th rapid fir gun and other Improved ma chinery for th wholesale taking of human life Th btter way of living 1. also an American nol lion, and is being slowly worked out No occasion exists for worry over our out put; we'll contlnu to produc enough to llv on. and will remain fre and happy, even If we do not attain to th rarefied height of absolute efficiency." In the Matter of Spelling-. An 11-year-old Japanese girl won honor in Palling in competition in a Washington school Nothing ao very wonderful about that, except that It calls attention to a fact that migbt otherwls hav remained unnoticed. Spelling I still taught In th public schools, but apparently to very llttl purpose. On letter coming into Th Be office from a Nebraska college, con taining fewer than 100 words, had in it alx misspelled words of common usage, and on proper nam spelled wrong. Another, with fewer than forty words, announcing the election of a superintendent of schools in a Nebraska town, and written by th superintendent himself had in it four misspelled words. Is it because spell ing no longer counts. In th rush of modern days, or is it because people 0o not know how to spell? m som ways th old-faahlond achoolmaaur was auperlor to th modern. H did not teach jauch, but b did teach well To lend th deft touch of Interest to th Greater Omaha Union, South Omaha will pre aept with Ita compliment S3 43,000 in twenty year refunding bonds bearing t per ent Their annual draft on th consolidated treasury will aaaiat la mphaslxlng th data of th union. y TXCTom aonwam. Tim Nebraska edltora' meeting here In Omaha last week not only marked progress of the State Press association, but emphasised moat of all the sub atantlal proareaa which the newspapers In Nebraska have made alone; with the development of the state's population and reaourcea. I have participated In numer ous editorial conventions and excursions rrom time to time for many years, and no one with that experience could help noting the general Improvement In appear ance, behavior and manifest purpoae. .Time waa when an editor's meeting was nothing but a Junket end a free entertainment, but now the entertainment fea tures are subordinated to the rxislness In hand, which la an Interchange of Ideas and dlacuaalon for the bet terment of the newspaper profeealon. The preaa association la a big trade organisation Just aa are the other trade organisations maintained by business men to promote the Interwate which all have In common. The co-operation of forces like thl for hlirher standards among themselves and for the upbuilding of the atate cannot fall to produce tan gible reaulta. For a state organisation, the Nebraska Preaa aaao elatlon owea a debt that ahould be eome day liquidated In something more marketable than gratitude. It owes this debt to the secretary and treasurer. C. C. Johns. by virtue of whose efforts a balance aheet eould be produced showing not one cent of financial obllga tlon to anybody. Think of a man running a secretary's office for any kind of a atate-wlde proposition, pay lug postage, traveling expenses, typewriting and minor Itema for a year, and keeping: the total down to 152.16. No wonder the new constitution making the Job pay a salary of I WO. equal to 12 a week, went through -with out opposition. Speaking of old-time Nebraska newspaper men, aug- geatert by the contest for the honor of having been longest and continuously connected -with the public' tlon or editorship of a paper, recalls my first exploit with the editorial bunch now Just twenty-five years back. Thia waa an excursion party, organised by the Burlington road and sent out as Ita guests over the line through northwest Nebraska, Just opened, aa far as Newcastle. Wyo. We had a apeclal train, and eur Pullmans, which we occupied even when we halted at atop-over points. I think there were thirty er forty or us, although I have been unable to locate In m file any roster of the names. I remember that the Lincoln Journal waa represented by H. D. Hatha way, and the long-defunct Call of that city by John M. Cotton, and that Lou Weasel and Fred Beitalnger were along for the Lincoln Courier. It la my impres sion that W. Morton Smith waa there for the Omaha Republican, and Beth MoMey and John A. MacMurchy the others I do not now recollect An editorial excursion to the sand hllla and sod houses was something exceptional In those days, and we were royally greeted and entertained. We had banquets at Hemlngford and Crawford, and In the coal mines at Newcastle we dined with coal 'miners' tin tableware and rude cutlery, but not with coal miners' fare. The head and front of the .reception committee at Newcastle waa the mayor of the city, then a diffident slender young man, but In these days known as Congressman Frank W. Mondell of Wyom ing. We left our train at Buffalo Gap and drove In coaches and wagona fourteen mllea eereaa country to Hot Springs, not yet readied by the Burlington, stop ping over night there, and returning to our train the next day by the same eushlonleaa mesne of tranepor tatlon. This waa In June. 1896, and the hot sun burned blisters on hands and faces. The Jaunt consumed the most of a week, which waa long enough to get every body well acquainted with every other member of the party. I am wondering whether my . present recital will come to the notice of any of the others who took part In that expedition. The marvelous achievement of Frank O. Edge combe, who, although totally blind for twenty-three years, haa been a publisher and editor all of 'that time, and has been the resrular attendant at .associa tion meetings, has been referred to In all the news paper accounts of the convention, ' but I do not be lieve any of us fully realise what that means, "what obstaclea he must have overcome and what Indom itable energy ha Tnuat have exerted. Mr. Edgecombe went along with the other guests In th theater party Invited to .witness the -performance of "Bart" at the Brandels, and I watched him to note what Impressions such a show could make upon a man who could only hear the lines and the music, but could not see the performers. Much of "Sari." as everyone Who saw It 'knows, depends on the spectacle presented by the customary bevy of beauty In abbreviated costumes, and the gestures and grimaces aad clever dancing. I could see how Mr. Edgecombe was drinking In tho aontta and choruses, and how the humor of the Jokea and ftorts was depleted on his face. I have no doubt he followed the play-story and enjoyed It thoroughly aa a whole, r ahut my eyes to try to put myself In his place for a few 'momenta, but the pith and aub atanee of the entertainment disappeared with "'ex clusion from view. I do not believe I could make a success of editing a, Journal without being able to read my own and other papers and to see for myself th things that I wanted to describe or d I souse. Twice Told Tales Uanal of Book Pafcllaher. "Thomas Nelson Page, since he married a rich wife, hasn't written a line. Kipling practically stopped writing as aoon aa he accumulated a, fortune. Sir James M. Barrle, onoe his plays made him wealthy, ceased grinding out anything except -one-tot trifle per annum. It's the same thing with Hall Oalno, too." The speaker waa Bryant Cullen, tha English crltlo, editor and publishers' reader. He resumed: - "Lack of oaah want la the one great cauae f progress. The world moves because, most likely. It can't pay the rent" The Bookman. The HlaklamdevHi Beaoeree. The order had been given to the soldiers at the front that they must not harm any animal unless It attacked them. One day a Cameron Highlander saw a sheep near him and he bayoneted It Unfortunately, Just then an officer appeared. The soldier without hesitation atabbed the eneep again, crying, "Ye dlvtl, ye'd bite me, would ye!" ' The officer passed on and the sheep soon after became a dinner.

It must aha re the views of the old colored preacher that we ate In the hands of "an all wise and unscrupu loua Providence." Houaton Post: A Tennessee minister aaya "hell Is full of chic d reuses, low- necked gowns, silk hosiery and auch things." It may be true, but we do not aee why a minister ahould advertise hell that way. Why doesn't he say It w full of kitchen aprons, gingham frocks and calico sunbonnets? Springfield Republican: The election of Dr. Parkhurst by the New York preaby tery aa one of the eight commissioners to the Presbyterian general assembly which will meet, at Rochester next month emphasises the presbytery's dismissal of charges against him for "unbecoming conduct In opposing absolute prohibition In California. Dr. Parkhurst la not op posed to temperance, but doubts the wto dom of trying reform on too big a soale at first. TABLOIDS OF SCIENCE.

Los Angeles school authorities, spurred by state law, requires alien school teach ers to marry Americans or quit th Job. A Judge In Portland, Ore., Is convinced that a whipping post actively worked la the proper treatment for confirmed crooks.

CYNICAL MUSINGS. Singing our own pralaea seldom gets us an encore. The man who lacks principle can't hope to attract much interest. No man realises how poor his Judg ment Is till he bets on It About the hardest -work in the world is to get along without any. Borne people are so quarrelsome that ven their own statements conflict Lots of men are slaves to money, but then the world Is full of emancipators. , When trouble calls we are more apt to be at home than when fortune knocks. The man who buys hia popularity gen-! rally pays more than the market price. A man's success may depend on the way he ts raised, 'especially In a poker same. The man whose conversation la heavy ahould '.be careful about dropping a re mark. A fellow has to be something of a sprinter to keep .pace with his good Intentions. "How can you be engaged to a man SO years old? He has, however given you some magnificent presents." "That's the point. A first love is ro mantic, but a Inst love Is very lavish."

God's Temple Is the forest, silent true; It's dona the arching heavens, gray or blue; Each rock and tree an altar In the air; Bach leaf a sermon and each flower a prayer.

I Just want to stand In this one spot And look and think and think and look again," He whispered low, as though afraid, and then. The trees, the leaves, the grass, with reverent hand He touched, but still he did not under stand. "It la not here," he said. "It's In the air; It seems to come to me from every where. And touch me here," snd with a sudden start. He laid his hand upon his beating heart. With swift glance In the branches over head, "Say, It's like a church." was all he said. Omaha. DAVID.
