The vote of the people in the last election Indi cated that they desired a thorough revision of the code. The idea most generally held in mind was the placing of authority for all departments in the hands of the constitutional officers. Governor Bryan was elected partly on account of that public desire, which he fed in his campaign speeches. Ths house of representatives, by passing the Mat hers-Dysart bills, has proposed to give the peo ple the form of government which they want at this time. Sentiment throughout the state has approved this measure. It is now up to the senate to* give the same full measure of recognition to public opinion. What has yet to be discovered is whether Gov ernor Bryan wants to meet the demand for the placing of state functions under the constitutional officers. This can only be done by giving him the opportunity to vote yes or no by passing the Math ers bill or one substantially like it, through the senate. This measure is a compromise which not only fulfills the republican pledge for a reorganization of the government, but also coincides with the demo cratic platform declaration. Let the people find out if the governor still stands on his platform. No chance of deadlock should be rUn between the upper and lower houses. The action of a senate committee in withhold ing the Mathers bill and putting forth a bill of an other sort is not' to be commended. Coming at the fag end of the session it may complicate the situa tion beyond cure. Three Omaha senators, Cooper, Robbins and Saunders, are on this committee. It is puzzling how men of this caliber could fall so far short of gauging public sentiment. The Mathers-Dysart bills have the virtue of com bining three departments of inspection into one. This meets one of the objections made by the gov ernor concerning the possibility of duplication of effort among inspectors. The senate substitute fails here, although its proposal to give^the governor charge of the department of .finance is excellent. Undoubtedly the house would amend its own bill to give the finance department to the governor, as this i> the office which devises the budget and con trols state expenditures. Jealousy and partisanship must be laid aside. Even those who fikVSr*WS Cdde Is ft was originally designed must recognize the fact that the majority of the people of the state wish it to be thoroughly revised. The legislature owes it to the public to put the subject before Governor Bryan in clear and unmistakable form. He can block the revision, or be can acquiesce in it. Only thus can he answer the question that is in so many minds, whether he will choose to retain the old code if he can not at tain the one-man power that he sought under the Bryan code. HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS IN OKLAHOMA. If you are speaking of the Osage Indians, do not ! say “poor,” for these happy, carefree sons and ! daughters of nature are rich as mud, or, rather, oil, j and are getting richer every day. One of the little i ironies of fate is that when the Osages were located ! on the reserve that now is theirs, it was the inten tion to give them ample acreage that was of little or no use, sa\je to accommodate the red man when he wanted to, stir his sluggish blood by cavorting around what the poets love to call “the grand open >paces.” Down at Pawhuska, capital of the Osage nation, j an auction is going on by means of which 32,000 j acres of land is to be disposed of, and from which ' it is expected that more than $10,000,000 will be received, this to be added to the tribal fund of $68,000,000. Oil rights, however, are retained to the tribe, and a share in every barrel of oil that comes out of the ground goes to the Indian. At present the income of each Osage, buck, squaw or papoose, is more than $10,000 a year, or the equivalent of 4 per cent on $250,000. No sign here that Uncle ?>am has dealt unjustly with this group of his wards. What do they do, with it? Well, a short time ago the news columns carried a story of how one millionaire Indian dis missed his white wife with a considerable bundle of money, shut his bedroom door, rolled up in his blanket and laid down on his living room floor, an nouncing he was going to have one more good night’s rest. The biggest job of the agent is to keep rascally white men from fleecing the wealthy reds. Justice, as generally understood, awards this im mense wealth to these ignorant men and women, but some will wonder why the wealth is not going to better use, and why the whole people may not share in it, rather than have it devoted to a few who never can employ it with intelligence and foresight suf for she is again under arrest. MOTHERS, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT? Now, take the case of Louise, the Lovely Lady Bootlegger. She did not toil, nor did she spin, but she accumulated $46,000 in less than two years by the simple process of breaking the law. That’s that. When she is finally overtaken, and brought to book, she is fined $100, because she is a “first of fender,” not having been earlier face to face with the court. Her fine paid, she retires to the seclusion of her luxuriously furnished home, and there re ceives many bouquets from admiring customers, after which she announces that she is "through.” However, the law is not through with her entirely, The Omaha Bee would like to ask the mothers of Omaha what they think of the “patrons” who sent bouquets and messages of sympathy to the woman, who rose from indigence to affluence in two years by peddling bootleg booze? Can they not find a voice to express the indignation that they must feel at the spectacle here presented? What do they hink of the effect on public morals of the success of a lady bootlegger? If she can recklessly flout the law, what will be the effect on others who are in clined to break the law? GIVE THE CAPITOL A CHANCE. Nebraska may yet be ashamed of having placed the designer of its new state capitol in the pillory. Thus far the legislative investigation has been, in the expressive phrase of an old plainsman who has watched the hearings, “like shearing a pig—a lot of noise but no wool.” The charges brought by George E. Johnson, for mer state engineer, deserve a thorough, but prompt investigation. The matter, however, should not be al lowed to drag. The patient must not be left to die on the operating table. Former Governor McKelvie expressed a thought that will find echo in every cor ner of the state when he said that his earnest hope was that this monumental project may be carried to complete success and that it may be saved from the maelstrom of peraonal'dissension and strife. Un less this dispute is soon concluded, instead of being proud of the capitol, no one will be satisfied. Apparently what is needed to insure the proper carrying on of this great work is supervision by a building engineer who is in full sympathy with the project, and not a carping critic, or worse. There is need for a liaison officer who will connect up the ideals of the architect with the capitol commission and the people. It has been developed in this investigation at Lin coln that practices complained of have been the uni versal custom among architects. Mr. Goodhue does not pretend to be a business man, and there is no dispute over the allegation that many of his tenta tive proposals have been overruled by the com mission, no doubt with a saving to the state. In some instances the building may not be as splendid is it might have been if the architect had had his aay. That is one thing to be considered, and an other is that thus far there has been no undue cost and no failure to keep the work up to standard of quality and on scheduled time. The whole state will be interested in the dis cussion of the probable cost of this structure. Mr. Johnson alleges that it will reach $7,000,000. Mr. Goodhue simply says that he is endeavoring to hold it within the appropriation of $5,000,000. It is mainly a question of the rise or fall of the costs of labor and building materials in the next few years. Before the war building costs averaged 40 cents per cubic foot. At the peak of inflation they reachetj $1 per cubic foot. The contracts for com pleting the first unit of the capitol averages 60 cents per foot, a total sum of $2,700,000. It is evi dent that wide fluctuations are possible, but if this latter rate prevails at the time of the letting of the contracts for the second and third units, Mr. Good hue estimates the final cost at between $5,400,000 and $6,000,000. He quotes one authority as an ticipating a slump in prices a year from the coming summer. If this occurs, and if the state takes ad vantage of the opportunity to push the work, the cost will fall accordingly. On the advice of plumbing experts the architect advised letting the entire contract for this phase at one time, but was overruled on the advice of Mr. Johnson, who contended that it would bar out small plumbing firms from competition. Since that time plumbing prices have risen steadily, which may or may not indicate that Mr. Goodhue had the better position. This matter of encouraging small local firms to enter the competition for capitol work is very dear to the heart of Mr. Johnson. Just as some prejudice exists in certain quarters because a New Yorker was chosen as architect, so does it offend others that greater preference is not shown Nebras kans who would like to sell materials to the state. Thus, Mr. Goodhue would prefer to purchase hard ware direct from the manutacturers, while his op ponent complains of the inability of wholesale dealers : at Lincoln to swing the job. The charge against Mr. Goodhue is “gross in competence or gross negligence.” The list of build ings that he has constructed in his forty-year career as an architect does not suggest such a possibility. No such complaint was heard when he put up the United States Military academy at West Point. Evi dently the federal government found no fault, for later he was given the contract for the hotel at Colon, in the Panama Canal zone, and still later was en gaged to design an aviation group and marine base at San Diego. He also designed the buildings for the San Diego exposition. At present he is finishing the National Academy of Sciences at Washington, and his designs for a public library have just been en thusiastically accepted by the city of Los Angeles. The list given the investigating committee in cludes five New York churches, costing from $1,500, 000 down, a number of homes costing from $500, 000 down, the Taft school in Connecticut and a great many other college buildings from California to New York. If Mr. Johnson has discovered this man to be in competent, he has done more than any of these for mer clients. It is to be remembered that the ac cuser is an engineer, not an architect. His work has been building roads and badges, and it is gen erally considered that he has done that excellently. He has also built several packing plants, as super intendent of construction for Swift A Co., and has erected no less than 108 electric light plants. One may search in vain for any proof that he is by na ture or training suited to act as critic of monu mental architecture. *, So the dispute lies. It should be decided as promptly as possible, that Nebraska may have noth ing to suspect or regret. Martin Dineen admit# that he ‘‘cusses’’ a little at fires, but you are to remember that he started his career under ‘‘Jack’’Galligan, who was a peerless dispenser of double-edged profanity when at work. j I That advertising man who picked the most pro gressive town in the state must be coming in.

Minn.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: It Is an old truism that it requires some genius to recog nize genius w hen at presents itself. In the light of this fact, the concern of many Nebraskans regarding Carle ton's offer to Neihardt goes a long way to vindicate our Intellectual status. Yet. a moderate dose of aelf skepticism might prove salutary. When we Nebraskans compliment ourselves on the recognition we have accorded Nelhart, it is well to remem ber that we have had him with us for over a quarter of a century. While with us how much thought did we give to his person and well being? It seems as though we were scarcely aware that poet* have human nesjls until he suddenly fled to a warmer climate to relieve the stress and strain of the struggle for existence. Now, since a Minnesota) college has extended an offer to him. we have become keenly aware of our own negligence. We ha'd heard mu« h of Neihardt. we had sung his praises and some of us have even read his poetry. Yet we feel a sense of chagrin at the challenge flung us from Carlelon. But what of Nelhardt's connection with Carleton? It is of a more recent date than that of Nebraska. Prior to his visit here last winter Neihardt had never met any member of the • Carleton administration or faculty. The connection rested entirely on the merits of his work. J. E. Boodln, a philosopher of flrst-rate standing both In Europe and Amerii-n. was the first of the Carleton groups to begin cor respondence with Neihardt. This correspondence being occasioned by the ap|>«arance of Boodin's "A Kealis tic Universe." a book which by its multifarious merits made a profound impression upon the poet. At last, when the poet sppeared on the rostrum of the Skinner Memorial chapel, he was greeted with a full \ house. "Nome one In the hack of the house please raise your hand if you hear me plainly," he said in a friend ly voice. Nome one responded to the request, and when the bustle of ap preciation liHd subsided ho began reading from the "Indian Wars.” With the first line bis voice rose through a dead hush. The audience was entirely hla. and aa the epic un rolled before our Imaginations, the spell of the frontier settled upon us and thralled ua for the belter part of two hours. When he had finished wo remained spell-bound for a mo ment and. thru, the clapping of J.OOO hands broke the alienee like a crash, i The impression that ho bail left was 1 deep and lasting But w hy should Carlelon offer him ! a chair?

And came upon a river flowing deep Between black crags that made the sky a well. And eerily the feeble starlight fell Upon the flood with water lilies strown. But when he stooped, the stream began to moan. And suddenly from every lily pad A white face bloomed, unutterably sad And bloody browed. A swift, earsing flame Across the dusky picture, morning came. Mike lay a moment, blinking at the blue: And then the fear of yesterday broke through The clinging drowse. For lo. on every side The paling summits watched him, Argus-eyed. In hushed anticipation of a roar. He fled. All day, intent to see once more The open plain before the night should fall. He labored on. But many a soaring wall Annulled some costly distance he had won; And misdirected gullies, white with sun. Seemed spitefully to baffle his desire. The deeps went blue; on mimic dome and spire The daylight faded to a starry awe. Mike slept; and lo, they marched along the draw— Or rather burned—tall, radiantly white. A hushed procession, tunneling the night. They came, with lips that amiled and brows that bled, And each one bore a tin cup on its head. A brimming cup. But ever as they came Before him, like a draught-struck can dle flame *% They shuddered and were smilTed. ’Twaa deep night yet When Mike awoke and felt the terror sweat Upon his face, the prickling of his hair. • Afraid to sleep, he paced the gully there Until the taller buttes were growing gray.

Any hazard in the light, Or aught that might befall ’twlxt liv ing men. Were better than to be alone again And meet that dream! Now the heights burned red To westward. With a choking clutch of dread He noted how the dusk was gathering Along the draws—a trap about to spring. He cupped his hands about his mouth and cried: "Talbeau! Talbeau!” Despairing voices died Among the summits, and the lost wind pined. It made Talbeau seem infinitely kind— The one thing human In a ghostly land. Where was he? Just s touch of that warm hand ' Would thwart the dark! Mike sat against a wall And brooded. By and by a skittering fall Of pebbles at his back aroused the man. He scrambled to his feet and turned to scan The butte that -sloped above him. Where the glow Still washed the middle height, he saw Talbeau Serenely perched upon a ledge of cla v!

From The Hay Spring* News, Recent years have seen splendid progress made In the effort to make country homes attractive. The old time country place was often sadly defective in this particular. Many farmers and village people would leave their tools and machinery lying around in their yards, and it never occurred to them to do a thing to wards giving their dwellings any charm or attractiveness. Any home owner can make his dwelling more salable, more livable, and more of an advertisement for his business if he will put a little more time and effort into making it more beautiful. If he Is not willing to de vote time each year to flower culture, he can at least see that his grounds are well provided with trees and shrubs and vines that will grow year after year with little or no care. Or he can set out perennial flowers that will come up, year after year, and give his place a wonderful touch of color and life. When a place has been developed In that way, and if disorder and Utter have been carefully removed, the change ie marvellous. Any buyer would pay considerably more for such a home, because It would ap peal so much more to his imagination. People who desire to havg buelness dealings with the owner of such a place are favorably impressed with the spirit of improvement that he showe, and will believe that a man of that type will be more useful and successful. Tha man who thus im proves his place makes it more at tractive to his family and keeps them constantly contented. His improve ment must Influence his neighbors and Incite them to do something for beau tification. When that spirit gets started in a loan It will in due time raise the whole tone and character of the place and give it a reputation for -progressiveness. Thus beautification of even a single home does something for the public welfare. The Thoughtless Honker. From Tho Ohio Btat* Journal. A young man sat In his automobile In front of a young woman’s home the other evening and honked loudly to announce his arrival. She did not appear at once and he honked and he honked and he honked, keeping up the raucous solo until after what seemed like 15 minutes, the girl came out and got Into the car with •him and they drove away to the mqvie or wherever they were going. ” i Now. of course, the young man did not know it, but in the house just ; across the street was a woman des ; perately sick. Quiet and freedom 1 from nerve Irritation meant a great deal to her. perhaps her life. These nightly honkers, and their name Is legion, are at best a good deal of a nuisance to people who feel that they have a right to reasonable quiet, and sometimes, probably rather often, they are more than a nuisance, a posi ; ttve peril. The interests of the out side public aside, it would be much more courteous for a young man call ing for a young woman to go to the door and ring the bell, like a civilized human being, than it is to sit in his automobile and honk for her. like a bull calf standing at the bars and bawling for companionship.
