Which Way Looks Beitt
A movement has been Inaugurated to sub
mit by Initiative procedure at the coming elec
tion the question of ordering a constitutional
convention called In Nebraska. The affirmative
Tote If It be affirmative will have to be fol
lowed by enactmrnt by the legislature of a law
making provision for the convention, and then
later by an election of members of the conven
tion, and still later by submission to popular
vote of whatever npw constitution or amend
ments to the present constitution msy he agreed
upon by the convention, and the whole thing, In
the end, subject to rejection.
No one contends that our state constitution
Is anywhere near perfection and yet It has stood
the teet of years and change tolerably well and
with the door open all the time to amendment
by popular Initiative, It cannot possibly block
the way to any reform the people really want,
to say nothing of the Invaluable rights guaran
teed to us which we would not want Jeopardi
sed. Where this document most needs bring
ing up to date is In the unnecessary mul
tiplication ot elective officers and In the Inade
quate salaries provided for positions calling for
ability and responsibility. Revision In the
direction of a short ballot and a new salary
schedule would give us a state government
under the present constitution equal to all re
quirements. These fow changes could be ef
fected, practically without opposition, by one
vote making them Immediately operative; on
the other hand, a constitutional convention sub
m'ttlng a long list of radical Innovations, all at
one time, would cost all kinds of money, con
sume a great deal of time and evoke contention,
sure to throw the whole result In doubt.
Well, Edgar Howard always was cast for the

At last our suffrage friends have a real Issue,
suggested by one of their number: Let them

Public Schools and Farm Life.
Superintendent Peterson of the Loom Is pub
lic schools writes to The Bee a most illuminat
ing contribution on the relations between farm
life and the public schools. He touches immedi
ately on the most vital factor in the problem of
rural development. Social growth on the farm
or In rural communities is In direct ratio to
the school service. This Is of first Importance,
because of the fundamental Influence of the
raining gained at school In fixing the bent of
the mind to the city or to the farm. Superin
tendent Peterson Is right In his conclusion that
the teacher Is the pivot on which this determina
tion turns.
This presents a condition that embraces
practically the entire scope of the public schjool,
ard, therefore, is not to be immediately settled.
It should be carefully studied, that responsi
bility for deficiency be located and the remedy
applied. Elementary education should go a
little beyond instillation ot rudimentary knowl
edge, and should open up the child's mind that
it may expand along ways now closed by bar
riers ot text-book information that often are
never surmounted, no matter how many years
ot experience may follow school days. Orad-
grlnd's principle of "applied facta" still per
sists, and the imagination. Instead ot being de
veloped is smothered under a mass of co-ordinated,
but not easily assimilated, knowledge
th-ough which the way to wlsdpm is made the
more difficult. Hers is a reform that mtist
com from above, for it will require much broad
ening of our educational methods before it Is
etf'cient.
In some measure the patrons of the publio
schools are responsible for the conditions that
exist. Our talk of "free" schools has brought
About a state of mind in which those who prop
erly 'should support the schools look upon them
as "free," and shirk a duty that is paramount.
Better teachers can only be had for better pay.
Reforms already under way in Nebraska should
be supplemented by measures designed to bring
still greater Improvement to the public schools
of the state.

People who flout the Influence ot Bryan poli

President at a Politician.
The demand of the president for a vote of
confidence in his foreign policy Is a crafty move,
one that reflects some credit on the acumen of
the executive, whose single-track mind Is now
pointing to the St. Iouls convention. It shows
the professor is no longer a novice in the gams,
and that his discernment has broadened to
where even the shrewdest of his party opponents
will have to watch closely, else they may be
laid by the heels. In all his dealings with con
gress, Mr. Wilson haa moved with cantlon, In
sisting only when he bad control, tracking the
whip over th recalcitrant, and sparing not.
If he makes demand for a vote now, it is because
ho knows it will be his way. This confirms the
expressed view that all the uproar in congress
last week was for political effect, and that the
pretense of patriotic concern was sham. It is
too bad that grave negotiations with foreign
powers could not be carried on without mixing
In cheap politics, but this seems to be the demo
cratlc way of doing things.
Anti-Havy Cue Well Stated.
A correspondent, who hides his identity be
hind Initials, has very completely summed up
th case for th anti-navy force. H says th
big navy will be used to support a big merchant
marine. In turn a big merchant marine will ha
used to export materials that might be usd at
home, and to Import materials that might b
produced at horn. Also, it means a war within
fifty or sixty years. Th postulate 1 that w
abandon all plans for naval expansion, and by
degrees approach the state ot "splendid Isola
tion," in which we fonnd Japan some sixty years
ago. We might, by close application ot this
correspondent's notion, even attain to that
subllm stat of seclusion and excluslveness in
which Korea rejoiced, just befor th Hermit
Kingdom waa made vassal ot Japan. It Is
passing strange that In this day of action men
ot Intelligence can entertain, let alone express
th debilitating ideas advanced by this anony
mous writer.

HAT KPRINUS. Nek. March 1 -To tha
Editor of The Uee: The supporters of
the migratory game law are doing a
great dfal In the line of publishing arti
cles In the dally pnpr. trying to force
the idea In the true sportsman's head
that he will he greatly punlehed if he
hapens to kill a few d icks and geese
this spring during their migration to the
far north, which in Nebraska only lasts
from one to three wtoka. We read ac
counts of the supporters of thla special
privilege law (the millionaire game hoga)
slaughtering the wild game by the thou
aanda In the gulf atatea. their winter
quarters, which la allowed by this law
until February 15, and as soon aa the
game starts north, which is shout the
time the law closes tn the south, these
same game destroyers begin to howl their
heads off. If the sportsmen of the middle
states think of doing a little spring shoot
ing. We venture to asy that all the game
killed In Nebraska In one spring s shoot
ing by the real Nebraska sportsmen does
not amount to a drop in the bucket, aa
the saying Is. to what is slaughtered by
these millionaire game hoga in the south
during the winter months. The true Ne
braska sportsmen are wondering what wa
have our federal district judges for. We
read of several of these able jurlsta de
clared this law unconstitutional, and
over all thla w allow ourselves to be
dictated to by a set of selfish gam mon
grels, purporting to be for th protection
of our wild game. If the so-called ao
clety for the protection of our wild fowl
bird life Is made up of such fellows God
help tha birds. Perhaps some of the
sportsmen remember reading an article
in the Sunday World-Herald of January
13 giving a detailed account of several of
the millionaire olasa of sportsmen of
Omaha, of their trip to the gulf the fore
part of January, and how easy It was to
gat the bag limit every day, and the Lord
only knows how many more. The plo
ture of a $300 shotgun made to order ap
pears In a Sunday paper belonging to one
of these gentlemen. Th sportsmen of
this part of the state sincerely hope that
the publishers of the dally papers will
give the true sportsmen of Nebraska an
equal share of apace In their columns,
and we will give the true facta in regard
to the unfairness of the federal migratory
game law. We contend that It la no more
than a special privilege law and should
be repealed. w. R. BOWMAN.

HEARTWELU Neb.. Feb. 21 -To tha
Editor of The Bee: Recently In a little
town near Hastings a couple of Wilson
enthusiasts, who . evidently ree-ardad
themselves to be of oonalderable Import
ance, advanced ara-umenta h
equivalent to the assertion that Wilson
la the only man In the United States.
the people can consistently choose at the
coming election for president; that It is
Impossible to tell what a man's real
ability is until he has served for a time
In the presidential chair. 'They further
contended that governors and postmaster
are- unnecessary officials; that they per.
rorm no real service, have no reanonai-
oiiity and do not exercise Judgment in a
way to give an Indication of fitness.
In th llgJht of suoh reasoning, if it can
be oalled reaaonlnar. atransw it la .
the demorratio party discovered Wilson's
sterling qualities while he was serving
a governor of New Jersey, and that.
as progressive as the democratic party
would have ua believe It Is, poatofflce
officialdom haa not been abolished, and
no start made to abolish govemorahlpa.
Assuming that the democratic party
has the government fully In Its own
hands, if Wilson will accept, we may ex
pect hlra to be president the rest of .hi
life; and when he expires, that Bryan,
who probably will still be hale and
hearty, will be given a tryout.
Now, we have a dream of the past.

the full definition of democracy was gov
ernment by all the people. But the peo
ple wandered Into the wilderness, threw
way their spears and were sung to sleep
by the silvery, tingling strains of ninety

charmed into submission by the senctl-
monlous song of High Holders.
Oht ye gods of Inoumbency, If we would

MILTORD, Pa., Fab. IS. To the Editor
of The Bee: I write to ask your help to
defeat a moat aerloua attack on our pub
lio resources. Since the fight over th
Alaska resource waa won there baa not
been so pressing a threat against the
conservation policy as the present effort
In congress to give our publio water
powers for nothing Into monopollstlo
control.
The Shields bill, now before the senate.
glvea to the power Interests without com
pensation the uae of water power on
navigable streams. Tha amount of water
power these streams will supply la larger
by far than all tha power of every kind
now In uae In th United States. It pre
tends to, but doea not, enable the people
to tak back their own property at tha
end of fifty years, for In order to do so
under tha bill the government would have
to pay th unearned Increment, and to
take over whole lighting systems of dtles
and whole manufacturing planta. Private
corporations ar authorised to selae upon
any land, privet or public, they choose
to condemn.
Bills which gave away public water
powers without due compensation were
vetoed by PreaHent Roosevelt and Prasl
dent Taft. The Shields bill would do pre
cisely the same thing today. '
Another water power bill, the Ferris
bill, relating to the publio landa and na
tional forests, was In the main a good
bill as It raset'd the houae. Aa reported
to the senate It encourages monopoly by
permitting a corporation to take aa many
public water power sites as It may please.
Under It tha corporations could not even
be kept from fastening upon tha Grand
canyon, tha greatest natural wonder on
this continent. Thla bill takes the care
of water powers on national forests from
the experienced and competent forest
service and glvea It to the Interior de
partment, thua entailing duplication and
needlea expense.
In my opinion there la undue carwlaaa
nee aa to the disposal of publio resources
at present in Washington- The watar
power legislation now before the senate
Is too favorable te th man who, as See
rets ry Houston's admirable recent report
how, control through, eighteen corpora
tions more than one-half cf tha total
water power used In public service
throughout th United States. The water
power men charge that conservation
hampers development The Houston re
port shows, on the contrary, that the
most rapid developrwnt Is tn the national
forests, where conservation la beet en
forced. On the other hand, 130 public
service corporations own and are holding
undeveloped ar.d out rf uae an amount of
water power equal to four-flftha of all
there Is Ovaloped and In uae by all the
public service corporations In the whole
I'rlted State.
'A concerted movement la on foot to
bleak down the conservation policy.
Feeble resistance, or none at all, la being
made by official Washington. I'nleaa the
press and the people tome to the rescue
the power Interests are likely to win.
Thla Is a public matter wholly removed
from political partisanship. Your help Is
needed, and that of your paper. For
nearly ten years this fight for th public
water powers haa gone on. Wo ought
not to lose It now.
