The reserve stock of recuperative power shown for weeki pait needs no assistance to withstand the northern shock. Crowds at the municipal bathing beaches ought to fill the park commissioner with an ambition to make them big enough and numerous enough to accommodate all. Omaha has plenty of water for everybody to swim in, and it should be treated as one of the city'i best asseti. Visitors to Omaha continually express admira tion for the many new buildingi going up in the downtown section, but they mist the most in spiring part Of it when they fail to get into the outskirts and see how the city is spreading itself over the hills. The new homea that are being built are quite as important from every point of view as are the magnificent business palaces. Cheyenne's annual "Frontier Days" present a striking contrast between the past and present Survivals of cowboy horsemanship cavorting with in a ring of automobilei visions the narrowing bounds of pioneer memories, and the mighty span from the cayuse of yesterday to the gas wagon of today. Whatever be the reflection! of fron tiersmen and women, the cushions of their limou sines no doubt absorb the shock. Nebraska Press Comment What the Tractor Show Means. No longer does "the plowman homeward plod his weary way."- He comes clattering down the lane on the driving seat of a big tractor, which has pulled not one but a doaen shares through "the stubborn glebe," and turned more furrows in the course of one working day than Gray's farmer would have thrown up in many years. Machinery has put the romance out of farming, but it has put the profit in. One of the greatest steps for ward in the agricultural industry has been the adaptation of the internal combustion engine as a locomotive power. It has not only simplfied but amplified the operations, and in a large meas ure done away with the drudgery connected with seed-time and harvest. That is why this week is given ever by thou sands of tha most progressive and energetic of modern farmers to the business of watching the performance of various types of machines at the Fremont show. For the farmer ia coming to be as particular about hia tractor as he is about his automobile, and the variations it makes means as much to him as does the gradation in the live stock he raises. The day has passed when any sort of animal will do on the farm; only the beast that returna a aure profit ia tolerated nowadays, and the same is true of the machine. The maker realize this, and between them is a rivalry aa keen aa any ever known to turn out a working tool that will not alone be serviceable, but which will pos sess some quality of superiority or attractiveness to catch and hold the buyer's fancy. The greatest builders of farm machinery in the world are represented at Fremont this week, showing their machines under working conditions, and putting everything to the real test It is an object lesson in the progress of the world's great est industry, that of farming. Hughes and American Labor. Mr. Hughes ia showing a happy faculty of put ting much in few words. From his speech of ac ceptance cornea the great logan of the compaign, "America first and America efficient" This terse summing up of the purpose of the republican party is ao complete that it needs neither explanation nor extension. At Detroit Mr. Hughes stated the aim of his party as to the American working man in language aa plain and aa full of meaning, de claring that "the American workman ahould not be regarded aa a mere economic unit, but aa a fel low worker, a human being." Thia haa been the policy of the party from the time of its founda tion, and Mr. Hughea merely reatatea a funda mental principle in simple terms. Despite the frantic aaaertiona of the opposition, the republican candidate has a aympathetic underatanding of the worker and his problems, and under hia adminis tration will see that he ia regarded aa a human be ing, and not as a mere economic unit. Working men of America have never felt under a republican adminiatration the hardships of depressed business conditions such as they have had to endure under the brief rule of the democratic party. Mr. Hughes haa simply voiced the history of the re publican party, which is atill the party of good wages, steady employment and "the full dinner pail." - . s-:.- . Lexington Pioneer: The democratic atate con . vention ia reported to have been a "very harmo nious" gathering, and incidentally it may be men- tioned that none of the Bryana were In attendance. Bloomington Advocate: It is reported that the troops will not be ordered home from the Texas south boundary until after election. Won der what figure politics cuts in the war movements with Mexico? - ,.:., Franklin News: That "independent news paper, the Lincoln Daily Star, ia greatly worked up because the progressives are flocking back to the republican standard, instead of helping the . democrats elect their ticket again like they did four years ago. i. , Lynch Journal: John L. Kennedy ia making many fritr-d by the open way- he ia en tering the campaign for United states senator. With Kennedy and Norris as the working team of the party no progressive spirited man could complain about sur. representatives in the upper house of congiesa. ' Personal Property Assessment. The State Board of Equalization haa Just made rather peculiar announcement to the effect that k will not disturb. the figures returned by the county assessors on the personal property valua tion. This suggeata that the atate haa auddenly acquired an aatute lot of county aaaessora, or that the atate board doesn't car to trifle with the re turn In the face of an approaching election. The taxpayer of Nebraska are not inclined to shirk their juat obligations, and Justice to all requires that these obligations be distributed aa nearly equal as possible. Experience haa proven that re markable diacrepanciea in values fixed by county asaeaaora reach the state board, and no doubt these will be found again. It is not enough that the peraonal property valuation be equable in comparison with other property situated in the same county. It should in all countiea bear a just proportion to the whole, and that values in one part of the1 state compare reasonably with values in any part of the state. Some adjustment by central authority ia necessary to secure' this ap proach to equality, and thia adjustment can only be made by the State Board of Equalization. If the returna from the leveral counties are left un touched, injustice to torn is certain to follow. Romance of Rubber. From beleaguered Germany cornea a story that the wonder-working chemists of the kaiser have practically produced synthetic rubber, to be made aa cheaply aa $1.50 per pound. Thia price will sound a little high, even to the man who is buy ing at war prices "shoes" for his big automobile, but to the Germane, who have needed rubber ao sorely for uses in the war, the figure will seem reaaonable. The romance of rubber haa in it aome chapters that are not especially creditable to the white man. The tales of the Congo ahocked the enlightened world, and later these were duplicated by accounta from the Orinoco and the Amazon. It ia curious to note at this time that it was in connection with the atrocities of the rubber trade in South America that Roger Casement first began to climb to knighthood. Hia toilsome Investigations broke up the practice, and won for him such notice as brought him to high honor, lately forfeited because of hia devotion to an ideal. . , ' '. - . England has one chapter of the story to its credit. While other countries were vainly aeeking for the artificial substance that would serve in atead of rubber, the British took the far more practical course of planting rubber plantations around the Straits Settlements. Within ten years the production of rubber there haa risen from nothing to more than 60 per cent of the world'a supply. This has given Great Britain almost con trol of the rubber market of the world, and has proved a wonderful source of profit The Dutch followed suit, and from the plantations in the East Indies and around Singapore now comes three-fourths of all the rubber used. Milliona of pounda atill come down from those steaming jungles of South America at the foot of the Andea, but thi supply, like that of the Congo, no 'onger dominates, and soon may be' actually neg lected as a factor. : - .- , The United Statea haa a ahare in the romance of rubber, too, for it usee more of the material in process of manufacture than any other nation, but it must buy its supply abroad. Therefore, the German discovery is of Interest here. ' , . Directors of the New York atreet railways are assuming much of responsibility in turning down a proposition that might lead to a reasonable set tlement They show little regard for public rights in thus insisting on their own privileges. ....

An old lady near Burnley called at farm house just a the family were sitting down to tea. She was invited to take off her bonnet and join them. "Nay," she laid, "I have no time, but I don't mind hevin' a cup o tea an' a bite o' cake." She was (upplied with thia, and, finishing the cake before the tea, took another piece, "just to get the tea doon." This performance was repeated until she had been helped to seven cups of tea and eight pieces of cake., Then, looking round complacently, she said: . - ' Well, I think, after all, I'll tak' me bonnet off an" get me tea retght."

To the Editor of The Be: Elliot Loomi in the Aaanat 1 issue of The Bee argues against a heated surface for the sun, and give several reasons for his Helief. X shall try to eonvinee him to the con trary, answering hi reasons in their order, I. "Aa we are 9,000,000 miles nearer the un In January than In July, taking the world over, we see no rise in temperature." X agree with him on this point; there it not only a raise in temperature but an actual low ering, because January is a winter month. But the cause is not as he supposes. As the earth draw nearer the tun In January, there Is a riie in temperature, but this i more than counterbalanced by the tilting of the earth's axis in such a way that the sunlight strikes the northern hemisphere at a greater slant In January than in July. Now the more obliquely the ray strike, the les heat they bring to each square inch of surface. Also the rays when oblique have to travel through a greater thickness of air, which robs them of atill more heat Thus we have, winter when we are nearest the sun. : 8. "Were the sun radiating heat as or dinarily supposed, those inner planets (Ve nus and Mercury) would be burned to a cin der, while the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranu and Neptune) would be locked in eternal frigidity." N Mercury and Venus are Indeed, figurative ly, "burned to a einder." Mercury alway turn the same face toward the sun, and Ve nus i suspected of doing so; therefore, the face turned toward the sun would be at a high temperature (above that of boiling wa ter), while the dark hemisphere would be at approximately the temperature of interstellar space (278 degrees below sero). The four outer bodies are practically planets in the making, and probably are still feeble suns, not having developed a solid erust, (Jupiter is suspected to shine partly by its own light.) 8. His third reason (as to the Inhabltability of the planets) X would like to tak up with him In detail, but space will not permit I would advise him to read the last chapter of Simon Newcomb'e Astronomy (University edition), in which he treats of the cos mogomy. i 4. He says In substance: Because a hum ing glass bringing thaO-ays of the electric are to a focus produces heat effects Identical with those of the sun, therefore the sun's light and heat are merely letrlcal mani festations, and that "any light or heat pro duced by combustion, no matter how in tense," will produce no results if H is fo cused with the burning glass. He is mistaken In thia. The acetylene light (gas) gives a very appreciable amount of heat at the focus of th burning glass. The reason th ordinary fire or oil light gives no heat I because of the great disparity in temperature between ft and the arc, acety lene or sunlight. This difference is consid erably over 1,000 degrees between arc and oil. 9. The sun does not depend on combustion for Its light and heat X agree with him there. But neither does it depend on electri cal energy. Modern physicists and astrono mers are practically all agreed that the sun's light and heat are produced by its gradual contraction upon Itself due to th effect of gravitation. Th sun on this hypothesis needs only contract 180 feet per year to keep up its present energy for 10,000,000 years to come. The radio-active elements probably have a good deal to do with th upkeep of th sun's energy, too. 6. Th outermost "lighting or heating plant" does not receive the "same degree of intensity" as those nearest the dynamo. There ia a progressive drop of vtltag all along th line, as can be easily proven by Ohm' law. In th outlaying district of large cities supplied with direct current "boosters" (small dynamos) are cut Into the line to help rail th voltage that ha, been lowered by distance. 7. Sunspot ar not holes In the photo sphere showing the "coal dark body of the un," Th darkest part (th umbra) of a sunspot I as hot and gives out as much light as th acetylene, and almost as much as the electric are. It is only by contrast with th daiiling surfac of th photosphere around that they appear dark. They are caused by vapors that have rushed up from th body of the sun, cooled, condensed and fallen back on its surface again. In general, their spectrum Is like that of the rest of the olar surface, yet it shows several interesting differences, (See chapter 17 of George El lery Hale' book, "The Study of Stellar Evo lution"). WILLIAM SMITH. Rejoinder t Bremner. ' Bennington, Neb., Aug. 7. To th Editor of th Beei In reply to th statement of George Bremner In your issu of August 4, we are waiting for the court to set a date for a hearing. The statement that there la no opposition to his place except from Brewster, Anderson, Knight Hibbard and Evans is wrong. We are all property holders within this vicinity except Rev.
