Parli. r.ica (J Rue UX. Honer
Ncbraska'i Distinguished Men.
Response by (lie Hale editor to a request
lor nomination! for three name to be distin
guished above oilier in Nebraska' Hall of
Faroe brought uggcuion that generally will be
accepted. A majority named J. Sterling Mor
ion, who well deserve to be honored by Ne
lrakan; next in popularity it the name of Gen.
John M. Thayer. whose public service were no
table; William Jennings Bryan U also a natural
selection, although a number of editors qualified
th(ir tuggestion by dating reluctance to in
(fusion of a living man; Edward Jjtotewater wai
named, and teveral other whose life work wa
ilevoted to the upbuilding of the itate and its
institution.
The list, however, i capable of extension, a
must have been well appreciated by those who
tecorded their choice, and it is not an easy mat
ter to select off-hand three and say they are to
be preferred above all other. Among names
that might have been, included is that of Alger
non Sidney Paddock, who served the state as
i.enator of the United States, and who, among
' other things, gave the country its first pure food
law. Charles F. Mandcrson .also has high claim
on .such distinction, for his long and honorable
career as a United States senator, and Charles
W. VanWyck brought credit to himself and
benefit to the state by his efforts in behalf of
certain reforms which since have become pop
tlar. Has everybody forgotten "Jim" Laird, so long
congressman from the Second Nebraska district,
and one of the most popular figures of his day?
If living men are to be considered, William Vin
cent Allen has a claim that can not be over
looked, and so also has Moses P. Kincaid. In a
icarcely lesser way Senator Akers might well
be given a place, for his irrigation law, now
thirty years old, is yet a model for similar legis-.
lation everywhere.
Many more names could be cited of men who
deserve to be remembered by Nebraskans. Sam
uel Maxwell, for example, Isham G. Reavis,
Eleazar Wakeley, and other giants of the bar,
are among them, but these are mentioned, more
or less at random, as an indication of the idea
The Bee had in proposing that the new state
house be decorated with paintings or sculptures
of eminent Nebraskans. Nothing in this is to
interfere, with the Hall of Fame Mr. A. E.
Sheldon has established at the State Farm, and
to. which additions are annually made. It is for
the new capitol building, exclusively, and to
preserve for posterity names that might be cov
ered by the dust of accumulating experience.
The Inspired Ad Writers.
William H. Simpson, so Poetry Magazine in
forms us, has been for years in the advertising
service of a western railroad. Mr. Simpson
writes verse, and some of it is printed in the
current number of this magazine. One of his
poems, entitled "Bareback,", follows:
The winds ride bareback.
Swinging lassos. ,
Their rein hang loose,
, Their knee eling tight.
The tree bend down ..."
Behind, rides the rain.
The picture is a clear and pleasing one, an
apt description of the coming of a storm. Its
brevity i such as is more characteristic of ad
vertising copy than of literary manuscripts.
A vagrant thought steals upon the mind
can it be that the poetic instinct is fostered by
the life of an advertising agent? Sherwood An
derson, another ad writer, is becoming famous
as a novelist of the realistic school. Certainly
he is not poetic, but both he and Mr. Simpson
are alike in their realism. Perhaps a new school
of literature is .to come out of this craft many
of the advertisements in the magazines and other
periodicals are more readable than many of the
stories that are sandwiched in between them.
Taxes the Price of Democracy.
Long ago Montesquieu observed, "The gen
eral rule always holds good; in constitutional'
states liberty is a compensation of the heaviness
of taxation; in despotic states the equivalent for
liberty is the lightness of taxation."
It is indeed worth more to live in America
than any' other nation. Insofar as the choice'
lies between taxation and liberty, few would "
hesitate to shoulder the burden. And to a cer
tain extent it is true that democracy is expensive
business. A benevolent tyrant quite probably
could administer affairs at half the cost. As
things now stand, every time a group of citizens
develops a want, the state is asked to satisfy it
it the public expense. A tyrant could shake his
head where now our representatives only nod in
agreement
"Taxing is an easy business," Burke said.
"Any projector can contrive new impositions,
any bungler can add to the old, but is it alto
gether wise to have no other bounds to your
impositions than the patience of those who are
to bear them?"
Almost it seems that taxation, local and na
tional, in recent years has followed the rule on
railroad rates and has been set at all the traffic
will bear. Overtaxation cost England its
colonies, but today we have only ourselves to
lama. Electing men to office on hazy pledges
to reduce th com of government Ml not
worked, nor it lecret posiibt by this along.
Thert must b widt pub! sentiment igamst

tho sections of the population that will be
benefited by that espenditure.
Government, which in ancient limes evicted
only is a defense against outside enemies, now
hat many other functions of an expensive Chirac
irr. ftw of the.e ran be dropped, and even
those who propose elimination do not declare.
definitely just what function they would forego.
And for the most part these agencies do not
really limit the liberties of the cuiien, but widen
and socisliie them. Freedom i indeed priceless
and eonly.
Art and Fashion Clash.
Fashionable women art grotesque, take the
word of that artist and esthete, Frank Alvah
Parsons. Not since the beginning of time have
women been io fantastic and preposterous and
so ugly In their proportion as those of the fash
ionable set seen today on Fifth avenue or at the
upera, Mr, Parson has informed a suburban
v. oman's club.
"The women of today expose part of their
bodies that are a ugly a can be, showing a
total lark of common ene jn the important mat
ter of drex, and they make their bodies entirely
dut of the natural proportion by such fashion
a the lowered waist line, and they even em
phasise that ugly fashion with a chain" he said.
"A woman should wear clothes in proportion to
brr body. She is bounded by curved lines, and
her clothes should follow the curves. That is
an important point in the esthetics of clothes."
Thus is formed a new tchool of criticism.
Mr. Parson, who is president of the New York
School of Applied and Fine Art, doe not side
with the critic who hold that the object of dress
is to conceal the human form, but he would have
it more fully revealed or luggested. Once the
discussion is removed to thi high artistic plane,
he will be heard with real interest.
"Clothes," he said, "should express the
wearer's personality. A dignified woman should
not wear plumes; quills would be more becom
ing, while a person with fluffy-ruffles personality
should wear fluffy ruffles. But no woman should
wear fruit or vegetables on her hat. Another
thing the face in relation to clothes. A woman
with a round face should wear a neck-line that is
V-shaped, and an eliptical face looks best above,
a round neck-line. Women also should be care
ful in the choice of colors, each wearing only
those that best become her, not because they
happen to be the latest shades."
It is not often the subject of women's dress
is approached in this serious fashion. Even those
who rise to denounce the fashions resort to
humor and ridicule. The sober judgment of an
artist is needed much worse than the prejudices
of moralists. And it might be well, since vir
tuous condemnation of the habit of painting the
complexion has failed of effect, to call on the art
colony for lessons in the art of facial makeup,
and at least have the thing done well.
First Costs. '
It is not always nay, it is not often that
thrift Consists in buying the creapest article of
its kind. One of the most intelligent acts of the
public during the discouraging days of deflation
was to hold fast to the ideal of quality, not mak
ing price the sole consideration. There has been
no such flood of shoddy and cheap goods as
might have been expected in this period of.
economy. -
Real value rests on the service that can be
obtained from a purchase. And yet there are
some who can not see beyond the first cost, who
reject something good for something of poor
quality which costs less. The one may be priced
twice as high as the other, but it may wear,three
times as long, and it will give, very often, a sat
isfaction or pride in ownership as a bonus.
' Some succumb to the temptation to buy quan
tity rather than quality. Instead of one or two
good pictures on the walls of their living room
there may be a dozen chronios, and the mantle
piece may be littered with cheap trinkets.
Waste is always in poor taste, and good taste
and good business combine more often than not.
Overlooking the Consumer.
Another merger, this one of fourteen large
independent steel companies, is announced. With
out doubt the consolidation will effect real
economy in operation, cutting down the over
head, eliminating much of the waste that comes
through the competitive search for trade and
mobilizing their capital more efficiently.
There may have been a time when the Ameri
can people were so unsophisticated as to imagine
that such mergers would be of public benefit. It
is indeed apparent that there must be some ad
vantage to the plan, or it would not be adopted.
And yet the entire benefit will be, to the mem
bers of the companies involved.
The price of steel will not be lowered by this
arrangement, even though the cost Of its pro
duction is decreased. Whatever saving is made
will be capitalized and stock issued against it.
It sometimes seems thajt the world would be
better run if everything were regarded from the
standpoint of man as a consumer rather than as
a producer. : .
' Secretary Wallace comes right out and says"
that unless freight rates are restored to normalcy
agriculture will have to be completely readjusted.
One change, presumably might be an eastward
migration to the abandoned lands of the east,

these days is simply, out of luck.
"Every human being controls his own rela
tionship to the sun," was President Harding's
comment on the proposal for daylight saving
.legislation. His opinion, that juggling with
clocks is simply self-deception, is old-fashioned,
but sensible.
It is well that the Omaha Women's club
should protest salacious billboard advertising,
but the best way to kill it off is to improve pub
lic taste so that such appeals will not prove
profitable. . , -
Russia certainly occupies the center of the
stage at Genoa, but whether as the villain or the
hero is not quite clear.

and that hia demand upon the south

ruptive of any future settlement of
the war.
While Gen. Grant was besieging
Vicksburg and immediately follow
ing its surrender, invective, calumny
and anathema were nuriea at nis
name. Bo intense was this propa
ganda that a delegation of emi
nent divines were sent from New
York to Washington to demand the
dismissal of Gen. Grant for drunk
enness. The thousands or soldier
who were serving under Gen. Grant
at that time denounced this close of
propaganda as a lie. They had
fought with him, camped and
bivouacked by hi side and were
competent to speak for Gen. Grant.
When the delegation of ministers
had stated their case. President Lin
coln asked them if "they knew
where Grant got his whisky;" they
were incensed and asked the presi
dent why he asked them that ques
tion. Lincoln replied: "If I could find
out I would have some of the same

generals, for that is fighting whisky
and gets results." President Lin
coln did not say this without knowl
edge of Gen. Grant he had sent his
assistant secretary of war, Charles
Dana, to investigate and he knew
Gen. Grant was not a drunkard.

When Dr. Abbot' work was b.

ohrvlng th solar heat at Hi sur
face of the earth differed bv at least
B0 per cent in their Indications, and
th value of th sun's hftt n it la
ouisld the atmosphere, published In
in tiest text-book, ranged from
1.71 to 4 A calorie per square centi
meter per mlnut. Nothing was
known aa to th limit of th aolar
variability. Now a larg ma of
data on th flcklenr of the sun has
bn obtained.
Our observation have shown
that the aun does not vary so much
na many or th other tnr." Dr.
Abbot said. "It rang of variation
within the Inst SO years has appar
ently not exceeded IS per cent On
the other hand, fluctuations from 1
to 6 oer cent appear to occur fre.
quently at irregular Intervale with
Irregular ranges of variation. For
instance, at tho time of the great
sun spot group of March 12. 1120, a
fall of aolar radiation of about 6 per
cent occurred, corresponding to the
paasag of the sun snot arros th
center of the sun. There Is a long
period soliir variation attending the
changes of solar activity revealed by
aun spots, prominence, and other
visible solar phenomena, so that
high value of aolar variation occur
at time of high solar activity. The
range la about 3 per cent for 100
Wolf aun spot numbers.
"Clearly, if the sun Is thus varia
ble, the planets which shine by re
flected light must vary correspond
ingly, but not necessarily at the same
Instant as the earth, since the earth
and the other planets may He tn dif
ferent direction in the heavens as
seen from the sun. A few highly
accurate observations of the bright
ness of the Berlln-Babelsberg ob
servatory, have been compared with
the solar observations of the Smith
sonian institution. It Is found that
1 per cent change In the eun appears
to produce 1 per cent change In
Saturn, due allowance being made
for the rate of rotation of the sun
which carries the rays of variable
intensity around at the rate of one
revolution in about 2? day.
A connection between the varia
tion of the sun's heat and weather
here on earth haa been worked out
by the weather bureau of Argen
tina," Dr. Abbot announced. "Regu
lar forecasts, a week in advance, are
made there based upon the solsr ob
servation of the Smlthaonian institu
tion at Montezuma. Chile, tele
graphed in from day to day."
