Foreslalion for Nebraska.
A month from now Nehra.kans will observe
with fitting cerrinoni.1 a holiday that, originating
in this state, lias spread over the union, and in
some way has influenced the world. Arbor Day
)'. distinctly a Nebraska institution, and its ob
servance has been of immense benefit to the stale.
But the basic idea has uot been realized, and the
small use that has been made of the plan is in
significant in comparison to its possibilities. Also,
regrettable as the admission may be, Nebraska
is among the backward states of the union in the
matter of forestry service.
The magnificent possibilities of the state for
growing trees have been tested until there is no
longer any doubt about what kinds will do well
here. Experiments, carried on over many years,
and on a practical scale have demonstrated that
useful trees will grow just as well as those that
have little or no use, save for shade and orna
mentation. Attempts have been fnadc many times
to arouse a public interest in the matter, with but
little success. Bills have been presented to the
legislature, seeking to set up the proper state
control, only to die in committee or be killed on
the floor, and one of the greatest possible assets
of the state has been permitted to languish.
Every farm lot that has a grove of cotton
woods, of poplars, box ciders or soft maples,
could have similar groves of walnut Or hickory,
pine or cedar, or other useful' timber. It takes
ro more trouble to set out and nurture a useful
tree than it does one that is useless; longer time
is needed to grow a walnut than is required for a
t cottonwood, but when it is grown its owner has
a tree worth something.
; Trees are a crop for the future, and the
present must take some thought of the future.
We have no right to go ahead without making
provision for those who will be here after the
generation now active has passed on. Ne
braskans, when they celebrate Arbor Day next
month, shuuld honor the name of J. Sterling
Morton by giving to his motto "Flant Trees," a
new and worthier significance. They should
commence now to inform themselves as to what
. i. involved in forcstation for the state; let them
see what has been done at Halsey, and then pic-

with a growth of pine timber from which might
be harvested each year a lumber crop of $10,
000,000 or more at present values, and this to be
" a perpetual source of revenue to the state..
It can not be done in a day, or a week, but' if
ft is properly set about, those who live in Ne-

L'ii3Ka 111 years iroin now win nave less cause
.'to complain about the amount of farm produce
;it takes to meet public running expenses,' for
.much if not most of the public funds will be de
prived from the publicly owned and managed
forests.
. Nebraska and Its Builders.
f The builder of the first house in Washington
county is dead. One by one in recent years the
newspapers have chronicled the passing of these
pioneers, the first residents of the various towns
(?.nd. counties of what has become, with the span
of their lifetime, a great state. Few are yet to
, go; time passes and the state grows older. Each
hew story of the toll of the Grim Reaper em
phasizes again the youth of this western country,
draws attention again to the virile manhood and
"sturdy courage which pioneered its prairies and
"gives fresh inspiration to thbse who, unfaced by
" terrors of frontier days, nevertheless have prob
- lems to meet fully as great though of a different
' nature. The story of Nebraska has been a story
of slow and tedious exploration, then the rush of
emigration incident to and following the civil
war, then the gradual organization of the new
community as a complex social and economic
... ' organism. Its story in the future must be the
. maintenance and development of that organism
to enable the fullest possible the of all of the re
sources of the state for the common good of
all its people.
Managers, Mergers, and the Theater.
We question whether the public pulse will be
'greatly accelerated by the announcement that a
: group of New York theatrical magnates have
.'decided to merge their interests. So far as sur-
"face indications show, the project is purely com
. mercial. Such members as are involved have in
. view the limitation of the theater, rather than its
extension. They will discourage building of
'" ; theaters, in order that those now under their
ownership or control will be left without possi
ble competition. Then it proposed to so ordain
' the production of drama that in towns where two
or more . theaters exist, the possible exhibition
of two similar attractions simultaneously will be
evaded. Other regulations will be adopted, to
the end, presumably, that competition will have
. a pretty tough time if any springs up.
All of which is reminiscent of the great idea
.that evolved into the C B. Jefferson, Klaw &
Erlaneef syndicate of twenty-five years ago, with
- " riC lUUSClJUC II l t VI lira vtnaiiiuwua v.-
perience of cities that sought to breakaway
; from the "trust." The "Shuberts" have survived
the various combinations that sprung up toxjo

be repeated?
The people want the theater, and will put up
with much that t not worthy to get a little that
is, but we doubt if they want another syndicate.'
Unruly Youth at Universities.
Now and then the staid and sober citizens,
forgetful frequently of their own salad days, are
pained and grieved to read at the breakfast table
of some unseemly demonstration, staged by cot
If gf boys, or high school students. It shoiks
one's sensibilities that the peace and quiet of a
community should be seriously dixturbed by
youth whose occupation properly should induce
decorum and grarlmis demeanor. Yet, if that
ame staid and sober ciliren were to follow back
ilong the track of the university or college as
these institutions of learning have come down to
us from medieval times, he might be encouraged
by the progress shown in manners and behavior
of students.
Dr. Albert Mansbridge of England, in begin
r.ing course of lectures at Lowell university,
according to the Boston Transcript, set forth:
In medieval days, students of all ages,
boys as well as men, attended the universities.
Lack of means was no obstacle. If they had to
share a bed and even a cloak one with another,
it did not matter, so long as they were at the
goal of their desire. The student changed city,
university and country as he pleased, lie made
his own laws, and conformed to the custom of
his kind. They were a wild and motley crew.
"Wherever Clerks are met together." said Friar ,
Roger Bacon, "as happens at Tan's and Ox
ford, they shook the world with their feuds,
their contentions and their vices."
Learning was indeed a passion in those days,
and according to Dr. Mansbridge, "This passion
was the first burst of learning. In a sense it was
free of church and king as, it never has been
since." We do not present this as justifying what
the authorities now and again euphemistically
designate as students' pranks, but just to show
that it was even more so in the good old days.
Another One for Solomon.
Is the female of the species really more deadly
than the male? We confess, we don't know. In
boyhood we thought we understood all about
girls. They were fraidy cats and silly things
who played with dolls and little houses and were
even afraid of dead mice.
But we have revised our ideas regarding
them, revised them several times since then. We
have found, for instance, that they have a mar
velous capacity for arousing certain trembly feel
ings in our breasts, feelings which have even de
prived us of our appetites and caused us to write
foolish letters and to make extravagant state
ments regarding their beauty. We have found
also that they have an astonishing capacity for
tenderness and pity and sympathy.
Last week we went to a certain exhibition at
which strong men in a ring smote each other
with their fists encased in boxing gloves. They,
smote each other until they were half senseless,
their noses were bloody, their eyes swollen, some
of ,thcir hand bones broken.
It caused even a revulsion in our own stern
manly bosom.
Two young women of our acquaintance were
there. One is a graduate of a large eastern girls'
college. The other is a devout church woman.
It was the first and only prize fight they ever
witnessed..
"Ah," we thought, "how their tender hearts
niust be quivering with pity at this brutal ex
hibition!'' Next day we asked them about it. "I didn't
see anything brutal about it," said 'she of .the
large eastern college. "I was hoping there would
be a knockout," declared the devout member.
Women seated near us at the fight seemed
much bored even when the males of the species
were in the height of excitement.
We have decided never to even try to under
stand women.
Decomposing a Kiss.
Having resolved the sunbeam, shattered the
atonr, and determined the bulk of Arcturus,,
science is now in. pursuit of its ultimate goal.
The kiss, of whatever degree is to be analyzed,
decomposed, scheduled as to its qualities, and,
presumably, card-indexed, so that the casual in
quirer may at any time refer to the tabulated
charts and determine for himself the exact na
ture and components of the caress he has just
been favored with.
Perhaps. Get Milton's immortal '"Paradise
Lost," turn to and read the glowing, tender pas
sage that describes the' nuptial night in the Gar
den of Eden, and then recall if you can all the
long line of kisses that have come down'through
the ages since. With this in mind, picture, if
possible, the sort of individual who would try to
catalogue a kiss. It means sonicthing or noth
ing; it is responsive, or it is cold, but it does not
lend itself to classification. Passionate, dutiful,
deceitful or trusting, a kiss is a kiss, and usually,
like mercy, it "blesses him that gives and him
that takes."
Also, try to imagine an ardent lover, equipped
with a modified sphygmanomometer, trying out
the instrument on the girl of his soul! To make
it perfect, some sort of registering device should
be attached, that length and number may be
recorded. Then, after the contest is over, and
before he retires for the night, let him pore over
the index card, and discover by virtue of the
lines thereon traced, the quality of response with
which his own advances have been met.
Science may detect deviation from the truth
by measuring the blood pressure, but it will be
some time before it can lay down rules for kisses
that will be observed by those who indulge in
that oldest of indoor pastimes.
Curiously enough, the office of the Scottish
Home Rule association is on Hope street, Glas-,
gow.

wheel is turned a bell rings, and
1.000.000 prayers have ascended to
heaven." At Shekar the abbot waa
supposed to be "the reincarnation
of a former abbot, and was looked
upon m an extremely holy man. .
. . His attendants with much dif
ficulty persuaded him to be photo
graphed, for they said that his time
on earth cold now only be short."
As the expedition went on, they
found superlatively beautiful and in
spiring views.
"From one peak to the north of
Bhong Chu. we had a very extensive
view,, stretching from the snowy
ranges beyond Chomolhari and 120
miles to the east of us to Kanr.hen
junga. and then on to Makula and
Everest, and from there passing on
to the high snow peaks west of Ev
etest and to Gosalnthan, a range of
some 250 miles of snow peaks; but
above them all towered Mount Ev
erest, several thousand feet above
its neighbors."
Photography at the higher alti
tudes required the patience of Job.
In camp in the Khombu pass. 20,000
feet above sea level, Maj. Wheeler
spent day after day "on the top of
a mountain in bitter cold and driv
ing snow" waiting for the clouds to
lift. Near Krcpak a female anchor- i
ite "138 years old and greatly ro-i
vered" was visited. The lady for- I
bade the killing of animals, "and :
hence we found the wild sheep
everywhere were very tame." In the j
Rongbuk valley 400 -hermits and i
nuns lived in caves at an altitude
of 16,500 feet. "All the animals and !
birds in this valley were wonder-j
fully tame." In the main Arun j
valley villages were deserted at the j
Englishmen s approach, the Natives
creeping back one by one when they
found there was nothing to be afraid
of
At length, after many days of
travel, the invaders reached the
Kama valley," "a valley unexcelled,
irr beauty anywhere in the Himalay
as, with the most stupendous, scen
ery." At the extreme end towered
Everest, but a companion peak, Ma
kalu, with precipices descending
sheer for 11,000 feet into the valley,
was more imposing In this country
the leeches were everywhere, a pest
not to be avoided. They climbed
"on our clothes, and legs, and faces;
they got onto our plates and cups
and into our food." On a ridge at
a height of 21.000 feet Col. Howard
Budy saw the sun rise in a clear sky:
"Of a sudden a flash of golden light
touched the utmost summit of
Mount Everest and spread with a
glow of gold all over the highest
snows and ridges of this wonderful
mountain, while behind the deep
purple of ' the sky changed to
orange.
At last, on September 22, the
Lhakpa La col (22.320 feet) was
climbed, "and here the only possi-
