KEEP NEIHARDT IN NEBRASKA.
How much do the people of Nebraska appreciate
the genius of John G. Neihardt? The ceremony by
which he was declared the poet laureate of this state
was not much more than a gesture. There are many
lovers of literature who feel that something more
substantial should be forthcoming.
The new3 that Carleton college, at Northfield, 1
Minn., is trying to take Neihardt away from his na
tive state and attach him to its faculty is a challenge
to those who look to the development of a typical
Great Plains culture. Frank Judson, chairman of the
hoard of regents of the University of Nebraska, has
hit on a practical plan. His announcement that he
will propose to make Neihardt a member of the
faculty of the university at Lincoln shows the proper
spirit.
Other great universities, such as Michigan and
Miami, have brought great poets to their campus,
rot primarily to teach classes, but to influence and
inspire the students by contact with them. Robert
Frost at Ann Arbor, and Percy Mackaye in Ohio,
have made a place for themselves in the college en
vironment.
Neihardt is engaged in the writing of an epic
which some literary critics compare to the works of
Homer and Vergil. It deals not with the adventures
nf ancient Greek and Roman adventurers, but with
the life of our own prairie country. It requires three
years to complete a work of this length. During that
time Neihardt will have but the slenderest income.
Surely if a college in Minnesota appreciates him so
much as to consider making a place for him, the
great state of Nebraska can do no less than match
the offer.

WHAT WILL THE CHANGES DO?
President Harding has nominated Dr. Hubert
Work, postmaster general, to be secretary of the
interior, succeeding Albert M. Fall, who retires on
March 4. For a postmaster general the president
has sent to the senate for confirmation the name of
Harry S. Ne’e/, retiring senator from Indiana.
The flection of Dr. Work for the Interior de
partment will probably bring satisfaction to those
who were disturbed by the policies of Secretary
Fall. Dr. Work has shown great capacity in the
Postoffice department, over which he has presided
since the retirement of Will H. Hayi. His long
life in the west has made him familiar through as
sociation with many of the big problems that will
confront his department.
Having lived in a region where irrigation worked
its wonders, he will be ready to aid in all legitimate
reclamation endeavors. His attitude towards cer
tain other phase* of his new department’s adminis
tration must be developed. Among these are the
question oT forestry, which was one of the subjects
of disagreement between Mr. Fall and Secretary
Wallace, and in which the president declined to
■ take sides with the retiring secretary. Another is
\ the handling of the Pueblo Indian lands. Dr. Work
is personally familiar with the inside of this fea
ture of the government, and it should be unfair
to assume that he lacks sympathy with the Indians
nr fails to see the injustice of the attack that was
made on their rights by the Bursum bill, so happily
dispatched.
Senator New’s selection will be listed as a “lame
■ duck’’ selection, although he will enmr the Post
office department with a record of service in the
senate and in business that justifies the expectation
that he will carry on the mail service at the high
afandard it has attained, and give it auch improve
ment and extension as will meet with growing de
mand*.
WHEN FATE STRIKES BLINDLY.
A little home on the edge of the dty, ju»t where
the town merges into the country, a haven of hope
•nd a source of courage—that is a place where brave
hearts, sustained by love, have faced the world in
the beginning of life’s battles. And when the little
snes come, their childish prattle adds to the picture,
j and makes the prize all the more worth striving for.
What an unspeakable horror it is to discover that
little home, on which so much of life and loving ef
fort had been expended, wrapped in flames, and to
know that inside it were the two little children, the
babies who had brightened it by their lives, exposed
to the most awful of deaths?
Omaha was profoundly shocked at reading of the t
tragedy at the Hildebrand home on Sunday night. |
Nothing more terrible has ever been experienced in !
ell the history of the. city. Two little ones trapped in
the blazing wreck of the home they had made so ,
bright and beautiful, caught in the bed where their
parents had left them but a little time before—and
v atchers of the fire unaware of their presence.
What element of pathos, of trrror, is larking in
this picture of a complete tragedy?
Father and mother are heart broken; their grief
' is heavy and their souls are sore. Out of the depths
they will lift themselves, for they must have courage,
and can front disaster with stout hearts to press on.
They will know that human sympathy is not in vain,
for the great heart of Omaha will open to them In
their sorrow and distress.
Wc are reluctant to use so sad and distressful an
event to illustrate a lesson, or to point a moral. What
ever it touches is as complete as its tragedy. Only
the utmost of watchfulness, of self-sacrifice on part
of parent will secure the absolute safety of the child.
Here there is no possible doubt that the parents felt
they were leaving all in perfect order, but something
beyond their control or knowledge set off the fire
that wrought the awful damage.
Homes are darkened and lives are saddened in
many ways, by a curious procession of things we. can
not foresee or guard against. Fate is blind, and so
deals terrific blows, lighting on those who least de
serve to be afflicted Yet seldom has fate directed
»uch a stroke of dire misfortune as that which fell
Upon the Hildebrand’s. It leaves dumb the most lo
quacious, and dries up words that usually express
condolence.
RAINBOW IN THE FARMER’S SKY.
A very definite and determined effort is being
made to get through congress some form of legisla
tion to facilitate further extension of credit for car
Tying on farm operations. The senate passed two
measures, the Capper and the I.enroot-Anderson
bills, each containing much of merit, but ma
terially varying in form and even containing some
contradictory provisions. Attempt to harmonize
these measures has resulted in the formulation by
the house committee on banking and currency of
a new bill, which has been reported, and for which
a determined effort will be made to secure favor
able consideration this week.
The bill contemplates the establishment of
twelve regional banks, to be located in the same
cities with the Federal Reserve banks, each to have
a capital stock of $5,000,000, or a total of $60,
000,000 to be held by the federal government.
These banks will have permission to issue debentuie
bonds to a total sum of $600,000,000 for the pur
pose of carrying on business. Intermediary agencies
are provided for, in the form of corporations with
a minimum capital of $250,000 to deal in agricul
tural paper having a maturity of six months or
longer, and discount corporations, having a mini
mum capital of $1,000,000, to handle such paper
for the loaning banks. Under this method it is ex
pected to provide almost double the amount of cap
ital furnished by the War Finance corporation for
agricultural uses. Of the earnings 10 per cent
will go surplus and the residue to the federal
treasury.
On tho surface the plan seems to be workable
and should provide the relief that is needed. One
of the great problems of recent years has bean tho
proper financing of farm operations. Resouices of
private banking institutions have frequently been
strained, and recent experiences have shown that
many of these were unable to stand the strain.
Ample capital at a rate that will enable the farmer
to carry on and realize a profit on his efforts at
production should come from the institutions that
are to be set up to supplement the work of the gov
ernment in providing through the federal reserve
system relief for other industrial and commercial
undertakings, but which relief was not available to
the farmer.
It may lead to that condition where, as was pro
posed by a Nebraska authority lately, that the
farmer can secure his working capital at a rate
around 2 per cent. In time the government will be
reimbursed for its investment, and the institutions
left standing on their own. Experience with the
Federal Reserve banks shows this can be achieved
in a short time, if that is the end sought. The real
purpose, however, should be to give to the agri
cultural interest the assistance it deserves, and i
which will come best in the form of capital at a
low interest rate.
NOW A CENSORSHIP OF SCHOOL BOOKS.
A bill introduced in the state legislature by
James Auten of Boone would prohibit the University
of Nebraska from using any textbook written by
a member of its faculty. The proposal is far from
flattering in the implication that there is anything
that savors of graft in the use of such books. It
would, moreover, drive out of the institution some
of the best members of its staff.
When a man becomes expert in any subject, it I
is natural for him to write a book on it. There is
an advantage, too, for his students in having his
point of view thus set before him. One of the
prime functions of a university staff ia the conduct
of scientific investigations. These results are
usually published in the form of books. In fact,
many men write books for their own classes berauso
they know best what sort, of text they can use most
effectively. If a law of the sort proposed had ex
isted in the past, such great figures as Dr. Bessey, j
' the famous botanist, and Dr. Edgren, the noted
Scandinavian scholar, could never have exerted the
influence they did on the mind* of their students.
Not only would professors be barred from using
\ their own books, but no other instructor in the
school could use them. From this it might be in
ferred that the productions of Nebraska professors
are not up to standard; as a matter of fact many
of them possess World-Wide reputations. Their
books are in use at Harvard, and even abroad. Fur
thermore, in other universities, a textbook is not
i condemned because it was written by a member of
| the staff.
There have been few instances in which this
! right of teachers and scholars has been abused.
I House Roll 611 is at best an attempt to remedy evils
! that do not exist; at worst it is a petty maneuver
by a suspicious and bigoted critic of higher educa
! tion and particularly of the university.
We admire Rodolfo Valentino’s high soul. Ha is
down to where he is only getting $7,500 a week, but
refuses to sully his talent by appearing in person for
I a film firm that “turns out pictures like savages.”
i Wc know it is tough to try to live on $1,000 a day,
I but we rely on Rudy to keep his oath.
Mary Garden says her American season was “in

Omaha.—To the Editor of Tho i
Omaha Bee: "If I here Is another liv
ing poet who has written a poem :
equal to Noihardt'a 'Prairie htomi
Rune' I have not read his poem!"
The above Is quoted form a letter
which appeared in your columns
from another poet, since you have
been publishing the poems of John
G. Neihardt.
To me this man’s reaction to the
"Prairie Storm Rune" is very tdg
niflcant. It is ever true that all that
is necessary to convert a discerning
man or woman, into a life long devotee
of Neihardt is to get that person just
once to read Neihardt.
An eminent scholar and college pro
fessor told mo recently that he had
gone along in tho classroom for twen
ty years believing that all the great
poetry had been written in the past
centuries and that nothing great was
being done today, until someone by
hard work and much persuasion had
induced him to read Neihardt’* "Tho
Poet’s Town." Then he told me he
fairly leaped out of his chair and de
clared that big things ore being done
lit verse today and that the man
doing them is Neihardt. He eagerly
sought Neihardt a works to gee what
else he had done and found so many
magnificent things that he lias be
come devoted to Neihardt’* works as
few critics ever become devoted to
the works of any one author.
Yes, The Omaha Bee is doing some
thing worth while In seeking to make
Nebraska acquainted with its bard.
The whole English speaking world
knew him. and the leading critics
Mumped him as a giant in American
literature ten years before more than
a score of people in his own state
recognized his genius.
There are poets of the past per
sistently worshiped In the claes room :
whose works were mere child's play :
compared to the works of Neihardt.
As for "The Prairie Storrn Rune”
mentioned by your correspondent s !
few days ago, there can be no douht j
that Is one of the very' greatest I
lyrics ever cast, in the English tongue.
I say It without fear of successful
contraditlon that he w ho cannot agree
with this is either prejudiced or he
has not yet been able to grasp all
the technical points of excellence in
that poem.
I note your correspondent, after
reading this lyric, hastened to com
pare it with Tennyson’s "Come Into
the Garden, Maud," as he said he had
always regarded that, the greatest
English lyric, up to this time. I was
glad to hear that, because he Is a man
after my own heart. No doubt tliat
selection of Tennyson’s Is one the
most magnificent of lyric flights. I
stand as your correspondent stands, a
little undecided whether to give the
laurels to Tennyson or to Neihardt,
but on the whole l should he inclined
to give them to Neihardt. for his poem
Is just as suggestive of what it is
trying to portray, is a little more
musical. I think, if possible, and
shows a technique in many details i
that stireiy surpasses Tennyson.
That is a big statement to make. !
No one realiz-s that. Kite- than I
do. I most hasten here also to say
that I mean no discredit to Teitny- I
son, for l ant a devote-* of Tennyson
myself.
Now, to eo Just a little farther,
one need not stop at Nelhardt’s
"Prairie Storm Rune." Why rot con
sider his "Poet's Town.” his "Woman
Wine," that amazing lyric which is
a veritable pageant of womankind;
“That Battle Cry," that shout of
courageous defiance that has gone j
round the world in five languages; j
"The W. avers." "Break of Bay."
" I TU. 'oey," "And t(io Little
Wind." that lilting, half jesting, eon- |
' .101 to -ockdogy, "The Child's'
Heritage, "Lullaby." and many
others?
And yet, when all these ape consid
ered, great as they are, Neihardt has
only begun. For he finished these
years ago, and now for the past ten
years has b-cn devoting all his time
to n cycle nt five great epics. Here
he hag used his great poetical power
in interpreting ho mighty westward
avalanche of civilization, until he is
recognised as being to the American
frontier what hlr \\ litre Scott was
to the borderland of S. otJatnl. No!
oth- . American poet has ever tinder
taken such « task, and already tin! 1
verrillOH throughout tho t'qited States
are constantly «ngaging Mr. Neihardt
to con jo before the students and i
faculty nud read from these works
Ye*, indeed, congratulations are
due The Omaha Be© for seeking to
make its own people of Nebraska see
what It is that is causing other states !
to call this Nebraska hard from sea 1

one'* foresight or expectation and
which could not have been anticipa
ted. But the xi cat majority of acci
dent* and casualties happen through
negligence and carelessness upon the
part of the injured person or another,
and are preventable by the use of
reasonable foresight and care.
Negligence is the failure to do that
which a reasonable and prudent per
son would ordinarily have done un
der the circumstances, or doing that
which such a person would not have
done. It may result from acts of
emission or commission.
The test of negligence Is whether
the person who caused the accident
or injury to another ought to have
foreseen the injurious consequences
of his act. If the injury could not
have le en reasonably anticipated or
foreseen, then the act is not consid
ered negligent. On the other hand, j
if by the use of reasonable care and
foresight the accident could have been
prevented, then the person causing ,
the accident is to blame for not fore- |
seeing and taking steps or changing
his course of conduct so as to pre- j
vent the accident.
It will thu* be seen that foresight ’
and anticipation are the main elements j
in determining whether an act is
negligent or not, and therfore it be
hooves everyone to endeavor to use
foresight in order to avoid causing
accidents.
The greatest number of accidents
ar-i now caused in connection with the
use of automobiles; the next largest
number are accidents occurring at
and about the home. Most of them
could be avoided if people would use I
a little Imagination, foresight and
judgment In considering the eondi- ]
Uom» under wich they are acting and
pursue a course of conduct with a
view to prevent accidents.
It Is not necessary to cite examples <
of the thousand* of ways in which ac

simple accidents occurring evrry day
at the home. Our purpose is to di- j
rect attention to the essential, pri- '
mary cause of accidents, and to im
press upon the, mind* of ait men, wo
men an-i children the need of using
their faculties in foreseeing and an
ticipating accident*, and th»n taking
steps to prevent them. We must
learn this fundamental principle—
keep this fact In mind at ail times—
we must eultivat* the habit of think
ing about accident* and u*ing our

The Bandit's System.
From the Nebraska City Press.
Our present day method of tax col
lecting is called by an expert on eco- j
; nomles a bandit's system of exacting
I "dues" from the public. The asser
| lion may not b<- strictly true, hut as j
: liarsh as the allegation is it cannot
j l>e denied that w e have for years
-.-one on the theory that each man
l shall be taxed for all the traffic will
' oear.
The property tax the most Inequit
able and unfair method of raising
! revenue known to civilized man. Is at
| the bottom of our troubles, but it is
! not likely to he improved on until
| there Is a better understanding among
! the people as to just how the ex
| penses of government shall best be
met. .
| Students of the tax question realize
that the single tax. which places the
I burden on the source of ail wealth,
| ts the best way out, but tho single
1 tax theory Is unpopular, principally
j because It jh bo little understood. And
ho we go on fining those who are
! thrifty and enterprising by Imposing
! a property tax and refusing to believe
that we are doing so.
The single tax. buttressed by a
graduated Income tax, will eventually
|je adopted by all enlightened nations
of the earth, including our own. In
the meantime we shall keep on,
through our legislatures and congress,
building crazy quilts, blindly striking
out at visible forms of wealth, for
ever changing, amending, repairing
and patching—without arriving any
where.
The tax Issue will be with us as ,
long as civilized peoples dwell to- j
get her, hut it need not be a terrifying
Issue, nor an unfair one, if we will
only rememlier that there is but one
honest way to raise taxes—imposing
the tax at the source of all wealth—
the soil. |
College Courses and Maturity.
Frctm th« Minneapolis Journal.
A. Lawrence Lowell, prealdent of
Harvard university, in his annua! re
port. takes Issue with parents who
feel that their sons cannot get the
moat out of colle?- before they are 18
or 19 years old. President Lowell ad
vises that youth go to college as early
as may be, for he finds that those who
enter late are often tempted to shunt
the cultural courses In order to take
up vocational or professional work.
It remains true that without a
grounding In certain essential subjects
no student should be permitted to
take up vocational or professional
work. The technical roof of education
can hardly be built until a solid foun
dation has been laid in a mastery of
the Lr.gllsh language, and a fair pro
ficiency In mathematics, history and
the elements of science has been ac
quired.
After these essentials are possessed
by a student there is no reason why
the college course should not be
shortened and speeded up, with a
saving of time to youth and a saving
of money to parents. Full maturity
is not i.ecf-.ury to sc. much out of
a college course. The idea that it
Is, has been made the excuse for
much loitering and waste of time.
Peace Is Such a Bore.
While the British have been mov
ing against the Turks, the French
against the Germans, the Poles and
Russians againat each other, the
Italians have had peace. Evidently
peace has become tiresome, for Paly
has decided to renew war In Tripoli.
