CF.LLS YAWN FOR “GUN-TOTERS.” " hen a man with a criminal record is found carrying a revolver, the inescapable conclusion is that he is planning to use it for some wrongful pur pose. When William A. Rich was discovered by police practicing at a target in the railroad yards, it did not require the acute mind of a Sherlock Holmes to conclude that he was preparing for something less regular than joining the army. This is the man who now in Cleveland confesses to slay.ng the Siefkins in Omaha. His career con , sists of one crime after another. He was arrested at his target practice just two weeks after the shoot ing of the Siefkins. It was known that he had lecently been released from a cell in Iowa. Ac cording to report now, he was carrying a weapon of the same kind with which the killing was done. Setting aside the question why he was not brought under suspicion of this crime, the question still may be asked why he was not given a heavy sen tence for going armed. If he had saved $200 from the proceeds of his lawless career, hej^ould have been released at once. As it was, he paid off his tine of $200 and costs by remaining in jail for about two months. Law-abiding citizens frequently inquire why stricter laws are not passed against carrying weapons. They do not know that under the law as it now stands any person of suspicious character who is found armed may be sent to prison for two years. Here is the statute: "W hoever shall carry a weapon or weapons con i call'd about hjs person such as a revolver, pistol, liowip knife, dirk or knife with a dirk blade at tachment. brass or iron knuckles, or any other dangerous weapon shall on conviction be fined in any sum not exceeding *1,000 or imprisoned in the state peiiltentiury not exceeding two years: Pro vided. however, if It shall be proved from the testi mony on the trial, or at a preliminary hearing of such ease that the accused was. at the time of car rying any weapon or weapons as aforesaid, engaged in any lawful business, calling or employment and the circumstance in which such person was placed at the time aforesaid was such as to justify a prudent person in carrying the weapon or weapons aforesaid, for the defense of his person, property or family, the accused shall be acquitted or dis charged." When a man of known criminal tendencies arms himself with a revolver, the public safety clearly i* menaced. The law makes it a felony and au thorizes a stiff penalty, If the custom should be established of giving such persons the limit, many crimes might be nipped in the bud, and the public ■dould be relieved from the presence of swaggering desperadoes who only bide their time to prey upon society. CORKING UP THE JOKERS. A law just passed jn Minnesota has the approval of the newspapers of the state. It lays liable to prosecution any one who gives false information to a newspaper with the hope of getting the same printed. Persons not connected with the business will not be able to understand just v.hat is involved in this. Any well managed newspaper gives the strictest scrutiny to the items presented for publication. Names are insisted upon, not for publication, but to protect the editor. Requests for announcements are verified by every possible means, and yet, in spite of the utmost vigilance, every now and then some annoying mis-statement creeps in. A joker with a distorted or ingrowing sense of humor, calls up on the telephone and asks that an approaching wedding he announced. He maay even go so far as to give a fictitious name in lieu of his own. On inquiry the story is found baseless, yet sometimes in the rush the item goes through. Then there is grief. Other hits of personal information are similarly proffered, sometimes with malice, and always the danger of deception must be guarded against. Once in a long while the process is reversed. It is oh record in an Omaha netvspaper office how a certain prominent citizen came into the office one night, asking to be posted on what was done at a public meeting. He was supposed to have attended t, but for some reasons of his own did not go. The information sought was given, and presumably it worked, for no divorce was granted. The newspapers of Minnesota are trying to guard themselves from a source of annoyance. News is news, and it should always have the element of accuracy, for without that it is valueless, save as it may give the merely curious a moment of sensation. SHE MADE THE WORLD SIT UP. Helen of Troy, Joan of Arc, Margaret of Anjou, < leopatra Ptolemy, and a few other ladies whose l ames might be mentioned, fitted themselves se <urely into history by different methods. None of them were so simple, however, as that employed by the nurse lady at Eacanaba, who has had the medicos on the qui vive for a fortnight. By the Hiniple expedient of a hot water bottle she managed lo send the mercury in the clinical thermometer kiting up to 115 or thereabouts whenever the doctor took her temperature. She presented a baili ng mystery. Such a fever was unheard of, and thfc strangest part of it all was that the patient did not seem to be a great deal the worse from the effects of a malady looked upon os necessarily fatal. Day by day in every way her temperature stuck around the highest mark" ever recorded for a fever patient, and day by day she went on, living and failing to waste away as one might be expected to when being consumed by such a flame. Finally, one doctor, more astute or more auspicious than the others, located the source of the fever, and the show was over. Why did she do it? Well, why do folks do a lot of things that are not to be accounted for on the basis of reason? If she was looking for notoriety, ►he got it, for columns have been written and printed about her strabge case. Did she have another end view, we hope she secured it, for such ingenuity and persistense as her* deserves success. And, when you think of it, she might have sent the tem perature to n much higher point, if that would have Jielped any A HIGH-PRICED STRAWBERRY. If anyone still has the idea that the farm does not offer some wonderful possibilities, they have not read the story of Harlow Rockhill, a plain Iowa farmer, whose name was flashed over the wires not long ago with the announcement that he had sold a strawberry of his own creation for $50,000. The first thing that would strike the casual reader is the idea that this is a large amount of money for ' a strawberry. But there is another angle to the story, and that is the fact that Harlow Rockhill spent twenty-five years of ceaseless endeavor t* creating the strawberry of his dreams. Buring that time he grew thousands upon thousands of plants only to throw them away for the reason that they did not satisfy h:s ideal of a perfect strawberry, or that when satisfactory, the seeds would not reproduce | their kind. Rockhill is not a college trained man. His knowledge of plant breeding was obtained in the I school of hard knocks, wrung out of the very soil upon which he toiled. He had set his heart on grow ing a superstrawberry and he did not cease his plodding and patient endeavors until he reached the goal of his ambitions. He has the satisfaction of obtaining more money for a new plant creation than has ever been obtained before. But there is a far greater satisfaction than that—the knowledge that pluck and hard work and thinking deeply of his task, has won the day. The work of Rockhill in obtaining this new strawberry which bears his name, involved the crossing of thousands of plants and studying the re sults of these crosses. The average man would have given up long before, but this man was not a quitter. The purchaser of the Rockhill strawberry, who will propagate and advertise it extensively, is well pleased with his purchase and he takes occasion to praise the man who had the ability to produce it. “Opportunities on the farm are gone,” say some. Hardly, not until some one produces a superwheat, a superior variety of corn or oats, or potato, or any one of a score of other superior types of plants. The lesson of Rockhill shows what brawn coupled with brain and with the spirit of stick-td-it-ive-ness will accomplish on the farm. ARGENTINE’S VANITY EXPANDS. Argentine is yet a new country, and yet we hear j a great deal of its culture, especially as represented in Buenos Ayres. A few years ago the tango swept the country, even after the truth was disclosed that it had its origin in the dance halls of the Argentinian capital. Ibanez has made the locale familiar, through the pictures he drew in “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” This has not detracted from the ad miration expended on the gay city, where grand opera, the great newspaper. La Prensa, and other evidences of extreme culture jostle with squalor and degradation. Buenos Ayres has now attained the last fillip of excitement. From the pampas comes a conqueror, and the word flashes over the cable to the South American metropolis that Luis Angeles Firpo has put the kibosh on Bill Brennan in a prize fight. It does not much matter that Brennan consists largely of what is called in the vernacular of his profeyion a “set up.’’ He is a stepping stone to Jack Dempsey, and his being vanquished removes one obstacle from the onward march of the Argentinian to the throne. Therefore we read that “Buenos Ayres went wild when the news was received.” What Ameri cans can see in it is the forthcoming of another deluge of propaganda, leading up to the renewal of a million-dollar “audience” along about the Fourth of July, to watch a meeting between the eminent emergency ship builder and the late vaquero, while the pair exchange wallops and look ahead to shar ing the munificent gate receipts with the astute business men who are promoting the affair. The outcome? What difference does it make? .tlillions will be wagered on the event bitween pa triotic Americans who would like to see Dempsey knocked for a row of derricks and equally pa triotic Americans who can not abide the thought of another land having a bruiser who can excel one of our own in hammering an opponent into subjec tion. Great world problems may be set aside for the time, but none of them will be settled by the impending prize fight. The bill to purchase the Louisville and Platts mouth bridges for the state will be welcomed by all who have reason to travel by these roads. By ap plying the tolls to paying off the cost of the pur chase the government will be achieving what, is gen erally held impossible—lifting itself by the boot st raps Congress gets more kicks than kisses, and the declaration of the American Farm Bureau federa tion that the last session “has done more for Ameri can agriculture than any other session in history,” therefore seems startling in spite of its obvious truth. The house joyously boosted the bonus law one i notch nearer the people. It has to get by the senate and governor now. What has become of the o. t. street car con ductor who always called the names of the streets? If the World-Herald is to be believed, it hopes | soon to be almost as good a paper as The Omaha Bee. A lot of lawyers' heads will now sink back on the pillow, realizing it was only a dream. ‘‘Cho Oho" is one educated down. * Homespun Verse Ry Robert Worthington Davie BILL’S LUCK. "1 used to have ri sweetheartsaid lanky Bill to me— I "An" once I thought the world of her, an’ dreamed of days to be— j A cozy home, a little farm, a fuithful little wife— An’ everything a fi ller needs to live a happy life—• An’ when she up mi turned me down an’ took another guy I thought ’twould get the host of me—I tried an1 tried to die— f’cried just like a baby, ’twas mighty near a year Till loneliness an’ sorrow began to disappear.

The Law of Harmony. From the Tulis World. One person geta nothing but discord out of a piano. Another evokes rav ishing harmonies. No one Halms that ihe piano is at fault. Life Is much the same. It is possible to produce either discord or harmony in it. .Study to play it correctly, and It will give forth exquisite melodies; play it false ly, and it will give forth harshness. Higher than any other is Just the art of living happily, with ourselves and each other. Of course the piano is not to blame for the raucous discords. Because if the laws of harmony were understood and applied, the Instrument would give forth the most ravishing music, capable of stilling the savage In man, or arousing the spiritual in the nth degree. Likewise the world, li^e, human re lations. These are not to be blamed for what you are getting out of life, if you will understand and apply the Jaws of harmony there will be avail able all of heaven that the human mind is capable of receiving and ap preciating. To Ban the Devil's Prayer Book. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Maine is the latest point to be reached by the mania for the regula tion of personal conduct and private life now so widely prevalent In this era of hysteria. The general assem bly has taken up the highly important subject of banishing card playing in the state capital, the joint resolution before it prohibited even members of that body from indulging in a game of seven-up, euchre or modern bridge in the committee rooms- State of ficials and their employed must pot permit this relaxation In their as signed quarters. The distinguished author of the restrictive measure seems to be under the Impression that there Is something immoral In this amusement, ahd hence it must be pre vented in the interest of purity, If not made an adiunct to gambling, the very worst that can be said of card playing Is that It is a waste of time. In this respect It certainly cannot he any worse than taking up the atten tion of a legislature for houra and even days to discuss the advisability of banning it from a public building. Neihardt and Nebraska. From The ,N>bruks City Press It would be poetic justice, in a dou ble sense, if John G, Neihardt, Ne braka's poet laureate, could be in duced to become a member of the faculty of the University of Nebraska. Nebraska cannot afford to lore Nei hardt to some other sehool and Ne braska can afford, the practical mind ed governor notwithstanding, to re tain Neihardt by making it pleasant for him. Poets are born and not made; they are also usually more poetic than affluent. The world today does not read poetry as It did a generation j or two ago, but there are enough folks worth while who realise the necessity | for expression of the beautiful In life | to persuade the rest of us that It j would be a fine tribute on 'he part . of Nebraska to encourage the man 1 who has made Nebraska so well j known to remain and through his j splendid influence transmit to the 1 young folks of tho university some of the things they need to know. Ne- j braska should recognise genius, no matter In what soil it is produced. Roan’s New Code. From th«> G* ring Courier. The Impression grows that Gov ernor Bryan does not want the cotie law repealed for political reasons. It Is evldeht that if he can hv Insisting upon the well nigh lmpoeible sweep ing changes he proposes force a dead lock he can pass the buck to the re publican party, and thus avoid the certainty upon final and practical analysis of his plans in actual opera tion that they will be found in effect m Improvement, but on the contrary rather a step toward more arbitrary domination by the governor than he charged to the McKelvie administra tion. On the other hand, the majority party proposes to comply with its platform pledges by a revision of phases 06 the present system which will remedy the few defects which have become advisable. The governor will accept nothing »*cept hi* own proposal without tho dotting of an "1" or the crossing of a ”1." and asserts he will veto anything less or mon Of course. If the legis lature will not <-oni|dy with his de mands he ran say he had no w.iy of going ahead to fulfill the bomliastlc promises he mads in his campaign. Htid which were regarded as bunk at the time. Then he will be enabled to go ahead with appointments for th* fat jobs for his own partisan*, and at the same time plead an sllhl for him self. Such Is politics, and no one has evaer accused Brother Charley of living anything less than an astute tiollthian, but tho net result will he found that, like his eminent, brother, he Is long on promise and shy on per formance when It comes to govern ment. Allegations that he has a mandate from the people to do so and so nr« made, to be sure, but cnMi judgment fails to reveal any stu b mandate. *He was ele< t«d by a peculiar.combination of circumstances, yet at the same time live sevenths of the state ticket and both branehes of the legislature were elected on a platform distinctly pronouncing for a revision ns needed, not an upheaval, of the code system.

Hut do you know Ihe way the others went? Who buys of gods must pay a heavy fee. The world loves not its dreamers overmuch: And he who longs to drink at Castalj , Must hobble there upon a broken crutch. One sins by being different, it seems; At least so in our human common weal. Who goes to market with his minted dreams, Must buy and bear the Cross of the Ideal, Lo, tall amid the forest, blackened, grim, The lightning riven pines! — God kissed was he. How all the little beeches jeer at him, Safe in their snug arrays of greenery! And who shall call the little beeches mad? Mot I. who know how big are little acts. Want what you have, and cherish. O my Lad, The downright, foursquare, geometric facts! II nut—Dh, the ancient glory In your eyes! How bursts a dazzling wonder all around! Wild tempests of Ineffable surprise— Alt color, dream and sound! You Up thp awful flagons of old time. And mystic apples lure you to the bite! Blown down the dizzy winds of woven rhyme. Dead women come and woo you In the night! You tread the myrtle woods past time ami place. Where shadows flit and ghostly echoes rroon; And through the boughs some fatal storied fare Breathes muted music like a Summer moon! I know the secret altars where you kneel. T know vfhat lips fling fever in your kiss. That sorry little drab to whom you steal Ts Queen rfgmlramis! The Bacchanalia of the sap now re signs! TTlapIc fires burn yonder bough with blooms! I,o. gsiat-songs warbled from the vine yard fanes! Lo, Venue, nipples in the apple- j glooms! Ah. who Is older thsn the vernal . surge, And who Is wiser thsn the sap a-thrill? Forever he who feels the lyric urge Shall do its will! Your rhymos'—Some nimbler f «ded have been worse. What broken trumpet echoes from the van • Where march the cohort* of Im mortal Verse!

Omaha.—To the liditor of The Omaha Bee; It was a small game, hut the stakes were high.“The place,” the Juvenile court, the court of dis cipline to teach our youth the lessons and laws of obedience; the partici pants in the game were a school of fleer and a boy who was supposed to bo incorrigible. Now we have the right to suppose that if this boy was taken by this officer to appear before the Juvenile judge he had committed some mis demeanor. If so. are these pitiful cases to be made the butt of a Joke? When necessary to take a child to the Juvenile court it is a Berious mat ter and should be so considered, anti should only be done as n last resort and after all other methods had failed. Then it is a tragedy 4n the life of the child. If wrongfully or needless ly done, it is a crime against child hood. 1 would like to ask what could this boy have done that was worse than gambling or the power of a political puli with any Judge strong enough to avert a sentence if justly deserved? This boy has certainly learned two pertinent lessons. One is, there Is no crime in gambling if you "win," and another, you don't nerd to obey the law if you only have pull enough to square yourself with the judge. Well, he lost this time, but he will hope for better luck next time. He will go down to ‘ Kearney,” an institution that is a factory that grinds out tim ber for our penitentiaries (and work over time at that), and after he come* out if he should become a prince of world wide gamblers he will never gamble for higher stakes than on the memorable day of this notorious mar ble game. And the officer is allowed to go on his way, gambling with other Incorrigible*, and possibly his example may be taken up by other officers, and our adult criminals may, too, have their chance to tie squared with some judge on the merits of a crap game or game of poker As long a* this is the value or the law placed there by the ones who execute It, it is po won der that we are a nation of law breakers. CRISP. The Man Worth While. Omaha—To thq Editor of The Omaha Bee: It is in time of catas trophe that human nature sheds Its foibles and superficialities and stands undressed before the gaze of men. A great transcontinental train, speeding across the Kansas prairies, crashed Into a train of oil cars on a siding and was wrecked. Out of the wreck nine men were taken, some more seriously Injured than others, but all seriously enough. It was a jam of scattered coaches, blazing oil cars and broken steam pipes. It was a trial by tfre and suf fering. Nine men trapped in the crushed car w ere stripped of all sham and pretense and their real characters were repealed. Here was one pinned in the wreck age silent and with grimly set^llps, waiting for the help that must corns soon If it was to come at all. Here Was another, screaming and frantic with the pain of his injury and the fear of the spreading flames. Another with eyes fairly bulging in terror was trying to mumble the words of a long forgotten prayer. But one man among these trapped victims seemed different. He was crushed and broken even more se riously than some of the others, but the smile, which was his natural habit of countenance, was still there. He tried to calm the fear of the others by lViehing at his own predicament. He Jollied and joshed the rescuers as they helped him from the debris of the wreck. He cracked Jokes with the doctors and nurse* as he lay on the old wooden platform awaiting his turn for attention. All through the long hours of suffering when sleep, even under an opiate, was denied him. the Irrepressible smile fought for place among the draw n lines of pain upon his face. Is it anv wonder that a man of that character has friends'' Is it any won der that, when he could he moved and was brought lack to his home town the "boys’ who knew of his comine fairly mobbed the train on Closed or Opened at Will Finally came the Cloeure- Weetcott'a new cloeed model — the ideal year ’round car. €J It providee all tha comfort and weather protection of any closed car, yet may be opened up completely in fine weather.
