Repilatinf Price Movement.
Another of the forgotten promises of the Bal
timore platform is now being resurrected by the
democrats. The high cost of living is being
forced on attention as it never was before, and
various excuses for the increase under the demo
cratic administration are being presented. Four
years ago the voters were appealed to by this
plank in their pfatform:
The high coat of living la a aerloua problem In every
American home. The republican party in Ita platform
attempta to earape from reaponafbility for prenent con
dltiona by denying that they are due to a protective tariff.
We take laaue with them on thla aubjeet and charge that
exeeaalve prleee reault in a large meaaure from the high
tariff lawa enacted and maintained by the republican
party and from truata and commercial eonapiraciea fos
tered and encouraged by aueh lawa, and we aaaert that
no aubatantlal relief can he eerured for the people until
Import dutiea on the neeeaeariea of life are materially
reduced and theae criminal eonapiraciea broken up.
Three years of democratic rule finds the cost
of living still going up, but nothing now is said
about "import duties on the necessaries of life"
or "criminal conspiracies." It is tacitly confessed
that the condition is not due to the republican
policy of protecting home industry, and "infla
tion" is ascribed as the cause for advancing
prices. To check "inflation," the management of
the federal reserve banks is called upon to limit
rediscounts. The proposal should open the eyes
of the voters to a condition that is possible under
the new banking law, concerning which the ad
ministration clacquers have so loudly prated. The
Federal Reserve board can turn "prosperity" on
or off as it will, simply by manipulating credit
which is in its control.
Failure of the democrats to redeem a promise
to reduce the cost of living will scarcely be im
proved by invoking the tremendous power of the
Federal Reserve board to limit credit and check
the ordinary business of the country, When Mr,
Wilson entered office; he threatened to hang any
banker who would try to precipitate a panic;
what will be tay to the present proposal?
Prophecies That Failed.
Barely half a dozen years ago prophets of woe
filled the land with lamentations for the country's
safety. Every patriot with money to lend fore
saw the country rushing to disaster. Nearly
every banking house echoed with dervish wails
and every trust company shed" scalding tears be
cause the powers that be heeded not their warn
ings. Earnest, vigorous and innumerable were
the pleadings against postal savings banks. The
fateful step was taken by a heedless congress.
What arf the woeful results?
The system of savings decried and denounced
before birth has proven signally successful in a
few years. Half a million depositors have over
$80,000,000 to their credit, and that great sum
piled under the $500 deposit limit. The results
have been so satisfactory and the public benefits
to clearly established that congress raised the
limit of deposits to $1,000 each without a squab
ble. Those whose fears kept them awake nights
long since ceased to worry. Their alarms were
imaginary and there prophecies without sub
stance. No financial institution was hurt by the
innovation. There is an abundance of money to
go around.
The moral of the incident is: "Don't holler
before you are hit."
Pageant of Lincoln Deserves Support.
A group of enterprising citizens of Lincoln,
co-operating with the faculty and student body of
the University of Nebraska, has taken up the
pageant idea and is prepared to make one of
the most remarkable displays ever offered in the
state. The plan of the pageant for illustrating
historical events, or for presenting a novel form
of entertainment, is one of the oldest known to
man. The ceremonial procession was a promi
nent feature of early religious worship; the
dances and other similar demonstrations of
primeval man, the triumphal parade of the bar
barous conqueror, projected well into the civil
ised life of man, partook of the nature of pag
eantry, and made use of it in its best form; that
of impressing on the beholder the simpler facts
of the occasion. Recently it has been revived in
America, and is proving most useful in cogently
connecting historical episodes and incidents that
are otherwise likely to become separated or lost
from the general fabric of the record. In this
regard its value is indisputable, and as a high
form of rational divertisetnent it is also service
able. The subject chosen for illustration at Lin
coln this year is especially interesting to Omaha,
The Gate City." having to do with the rise of the
metropolis. Neighborly spirit should prompt
Omahans- generally to take advantage of Lin
coln's cordial invitation and be present on Tues
day when the great performance is given.
. The Early Day Reporters.
John T. Bell very justly resents criticism of
the work done by the reporters who made up the
records of the Nebraska constitutional conten
tion of 1 A71. He holds, and rightly, that the
young men who did the work at that time should
be commended for their industry and ability,
father than be taken to task for not having made
up a record as complete as is possible today. The
auhiMntial achievement of that convention is a
lustier of permanent record, it doesn't much mat

The Mystery of Dreaming
Garrett P. (Iervl.
WHAT causes dreams, and how can they be
prevented?" asks a correspondent.
"Subjective phenomena dependent on
natural causes, or trains of ideas which present
themselves to the mind during sleep," is the defi
nition of dreams given by an authority on the sub
ject if trrere be such authority.
The "natural causes" may mean disturbances
of the nervous system produced by such things
as indigestion, latent disease, over-fatigue, ex
citement of the sensorial nerves not sufficiently
intense to awake the sleeper, etc.. and their reac
tion upon the cells of the brain is easily enough
understood. But whence come the "trains of
ideas?" Do the brain cells themselves produce
ideas? When you are awake you summon and
control your thoughts, or think you do, but dur
ing sleep that sort of control is lost, the engineer
is absent yet the thoughts come thronging along
as if a mysterious wind were noiselessly blowing
through the temporarily abandoned web of the
brain and agitating its gossamer threads in the
most capricious manner. When consciousness
comes back or awakens it tightens the loose ends,
re-establishes the central control, selects, chooses
and arranges among the flying thoughts, rejecting
some, combining others and directing the current.
Yet this same consciousness has seen the flit
ting dreams, for often if remembers them, though
usually not clearly, and frequently not at all, if
Sir William Hamilton was right in thinking that
we dream always when we sleep, even though no
recollection follows.
If we knew the real nature of consciousness
and of thought we might contrive a better ac
count of dreams. As it is. we cannot go beyond
mere mechanical explanation. Accordingly, the
only way to prevent dreaming is by avoiding the
"natural causes" enumerated above. But for my
own sake I would not prevent dreams if I could.
They are a par? of life, just as important to the
soul, for all that we can tell, as any mentalstx
perience of the waking hours.
"In a dream, In a vision of the night when
sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the
bed; then he openeth the ears of men and sealeth
their instruction." The wonderful old Hebrew
who wrote that was not usirlg vain and empty
words. In all times, by all peoples, dreams have
been reckoned among the important phenomena
of life. They, distinguish between sleep and death,
and possibly it was that consideration which led
Hamilton, one of the greatest philosophical think
ers that ever lived, to assert his belief that we
never sleep without dreaming.
Perhaps, after all, the characteristic of dream
ing is not, as generally assumed, incoherence, but
freedom. When awake, you hamper the mind
with those obstacles and impossibilities of all
sorts that tyrannize over your waking life, during
which you are the slave of physical limitations,
but in a dream the'inmagination, the highest of
all human faculties, shakes itself free from these
things and thowt their essential futility. There
is something more and greater in the universe
than rocky earths and fiery suns, than the laws of
gravitation, cohesion and chemical affinity!
,True, it may be affirmed that the experiences
which we teem to have in a dream are based upon
those of waking life, to that, after all, the imag
ination does not entirely cast off the fetters, Bur,
granting that, still the mystery is not explained.
All dreams are not incoherent, by any means.
Poets have composed wonderful verses, mathe
maticians have solved intricate problems, lawyers
have mastered difficult cases while asleep.
In some of these instances logical reasoning
has been the conspicuous feature of the dream;
in others, intuition or invention, Is the brain
when thrown out of connection with the waking
will capable of these achievements, all by itself,
running on like a flywheel after the belt is off,
continuing to actuate the machinery, and causing
it to turn out its regular products by stored up
energy? Or is the mind something which does
not sleep when the body sleeps, and which, like a
master musician, in an idle moment, now gives
whimsical touches to the keyboard of the slum
bering brain, and now plays a complete tune? ,
In view of considerations like these it is no
wonder that dreamt have been regarded as fur
nishing a proof, or at least an argument, in favor
of the independence of the mind or soul. If that
were accepted the authority of so-called
"prophetic dreams" would be vastly increased.
The stories of such dreamt are innumerable,
beginning in the Bible and running all through
human literature and tradition. We who pique
ourselves on our knowledge are apt to smile a
little loftily at these and put them all aside with
the phrase "mere coincidence." Perhaps we are
right and perhaps we are not. If we were omnis
cient we should know but then we should lack
the joys of uncertainty.
Twice Told Tales

Father sat in his study one afternoon writ
ing out a speech, when his son called shrilly
from the garden:
"Dad I Look out of the window I"
"What a nuisance children -are at times I"
grumbled the parent as he put down his pen and
advanced to the window. With a half-smile he
raised the sash and stuck forth his head. "Well,
Harry, what is it?" he asked.
The boy, from a group of youngsters, called
out, "Dad, Tommy Perkins didn't believe that
you had no hair on the top of your head." Har
per's Magazine.
What Could He Do?
"I hate to be contradicted," she said.
"Then I won't contradict you," he returned.
"You don't love me," she asserted.
"I don't." be admitted.
"You are a lutein! thing," she cried.
"I am," be replied.
"I believe you are trying to teaae me," ah

Warne Agalnat War.
Lincoln, June 3. To the Editor ot The
Bee: What have we learned by living in
the world T To read the aermona delivered
in the New England etatee on Decoration
day, and the edltorlala of the big newapapera
of the large citica, one would almoat come
to the eoncluaion that we were living In
the dark agea. But, we are not. The coat
of arma that once diatinguinhed nobility
haa been chanved by the proceaa of time.
It ia doubtful if very many people will be
willing to go back to the thinirt that exittcd
among the anclenta when military emblema
were the distinction of nobility. The peo
ple of the old world that followed the teach
ing of the military advocates, have been led
Into a war of death and ruin, and are now
ao eager for a ceaaation of hoatilltiea that
they are looking to the United Statea and
other neutral countries for mediation.
That the 1'nltcl .State's ahould become in
flamed with the war spirit, or see the nee
essity of building walla arund the country
to prevent assamilnation, ia atrange and not
eaty to explain. The eaatarn people live on
aacltemviit. "Billy" Sunday can go to New
York or Boston, erawl around on the plat
form on hla diaphram, and by the use of
poor Engliah and bad grammar, etart a tre
mendoua excitement.
The people who have not become de
lirious over the wild talk of war, should get
diligently to work to atop the miachievoiia
Influence of the war advocates, aa it may be
reasonably expected that every farmer in
thla country will aoon have a mortgage on
hla farm, and the laboring men a burden
some tax laid upon them, to be paid aa a
debt in conaequence of war preparedneaa
when all the world desires peace.

Poor Little Sick Bear.
Omaha, June 2. To the Editor of Tha
Bee: What ia the Idea, in tha indifference
ahown to tha "baby" bear at Rlvervlew
park, with the injured paw? And wjiy haa
not the Humane aociety investigated thj
affair and aeen to proper treatment given?
The little one ia indeed enduring intenae
Buffering, and ao far nothing haa bean
done to give relief and bring about a cure
or a chance for health. The bone la ao ex
posed, and all around the wound look a un
clean and diacolored. To neglect auch a
wound will aurely mean decay of tha bona,
and blood poiaoning, not to mention tha
intenae suffering to poaaible madness. Be
sides the wound, I noticed one claw on the
other fore paw, appeara to be festered like
it had been injured Borne way, and needa
attention; especially so bow that warm
weather ia to be expected.
How can the mother bear .give the young
cub good rare in regarda to injuries, if the
saliva of their mouth, the acratch of the
claw or bite of the teeth haa so many poa
aibilltlea of ' bacteria, aa we are ao often
told, they poaaeasT Why haa not the
young bear been taken from the mother and
carefully attended? The mother bear could
not attack, even ahould aha want to, If the
little on waa caught while in the adjoin
ing cage it ao often entera. Poaeibly I am
wrong, and alao, very Ignorant, but It Beams
to me that the animal could be caught and
instantly chloroformed (before It got too
excited, and frightened! and then elean the
bone and all around the wound and then
draw the fleah more together to encourage
healing, then bandaged carefully and all
auch other aid the aame aa another animal.
It la enough to be imprisoned In a small
cage, but to endure suffering unaided and
with ao little concern la aurely criminal; and
when not properly and carefully attended
by reason, then the matter ahould he en
forced, aad to auch an earnest extent that
the error would not be repeated.
You have been of ao much aid through
the Influence of your paper In the better
ment of all eonditiona pertaining to any
thing toward uplifting cauaea to higher
atandards that I trust you will call atten
tion to thia matter atao.
(You may print my letter If by doing ao.
It may help, by arousing the intereat of
other animal lovera, and even those who
make no special claim to lova them, but do
heartily believe in a fair deal and humane
practice).
Thanking you very kindly I am

Bellavue and tha College Play.
Omaha, June 2. To tha Editor of The
Bee: Reference baa been made in your
eolumna recently to the Rellevne college
play to be given Monday evening at S.SS
"in the grove." Aa I have witneased thia
beautiful acene In that lovely natural amphi
theater among tha Una old forest trees on
Elk Hill from year to year, I have wondered
why more people did not go to aee it. In
the first place the play ia alwaya well acted
out and the atudenta do their part admir
ably, and that alone la worth the trip. But
the beautiful natural aurroundinga make a
visit to Bellevue and to Elk Hill and the
college well worth a special effort. There
is no more charming arena to he witnessed
in this part of the country than thia stu
dent play "-In the grove," Thla year they
give ua "The Merchant of Venice."
By the way, I think a good many auto
mobile ownera do not know that they are
welcome to go up tha private road to tha
college buildings and the rampua. Thia
rnl la in aplendid condition and la not a
hard hill to climb. Then there la the
wonderful view when it la dons I II ia worth
tha trip In Belevue any lime to gs to the
lop of Elk Hill, Leave the automobile
street In Bellevue at Nineteenth etreet,
which ia the main avenue running east and
west by the Inlerurhan station and 'on.
Ilnue en tap the hill to the college buildings.

BOYS OF THE DAYS GONE BY.
Folger MrKlnaey In Baltimore gun
It seems to me when the spring comes baric
f can alwnva see them so
The -boy with the bee atlng over his eja
and the stone bruise on hla toe;
The boy with a broken arm In a splint, and
the boy with the awnllen knee,
And the boy that I still find bubbling up
way down In the heart of me:
The boys of the days gone by hooray,
Kor the vision that greeta my eyea
When Hi lutust blooms in the month of
May
And the aprlngtlme decks the aklea!
Where the dusty rond winds far and aweel
to the rrli-k al the meadows' end:
Where the nlarkberrle bloom In tha misty
heat and the whole world aeema your
friend ;
Where the willows lean o'er tha muddy
stream, and the catblrda squawk
o'erhesd
Oh, there they go In a aolld row, that troop
of the tousled head:
The boys of the days gone byah. ma,
What a wonderful hoat of light.
With their (henUa that shone In a pristine
glee.
And their hearts that were clean and
white I
Tha nicknames ring through ths sir of May
aa they did so long agone,
And they aound ao queer to the startled ear
In the breath of tha aprlngtlme dawn;
And a vision fair In thla hour of care Is that
troop come back to me
The boy with the stone bruise on hla foot
and Ihe boy with the awollen knee:
The boya of tha days gone by dear shades,
I greet you. one and all
The fat boy clad In a gingham ahlrt,
And tha lean boy, atralght and tall!
