| NO SHORT MEASURE FOR THE PEOPLE.
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.

From a Nebraakan at Carletoa.
Northfleld. 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

ment and. thru, the clapping of J.OOO

A Prize Winning Poem •!Western Cife *
"-'*r JY d’olm GHdhanM
Fink falls asleep and
Then it seemed he ran
Through regions alien to the feet of
Man,
A weary way despite the speed of
sleep.
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.
He brooded much on flowing streams
that day.
As with a weight, he stooped; his feet
were slow:
He shuffled. Less and less he feared
Talheau
Behind him. More and more he feared
the night
Before him. 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!
And Mike forgot the words he meant
to say.
The fitted words, regretful of huw
deed.
A forthright, stark sincerity of need
Rough hewed the husky. Incoherent
pra yer , I
He shouted to that Lord of water
there
Above the gloom A little drop to
drink
For old time's sake!
Talbeau regarded Fink
Awhile In silence; then his thin lips
curled.
"You spilled the only drink In all the
W'orld!
Go on.” he said, "and think of what
you've done!"
Beyond the pointed muzzle of his gun
He saw the big man wither to a squat -
And tremble, like a bison when the
shot
Just nips the vital circle. Then he
saw
A stooping figure hurry down the
draw.
Grow dint, and vanish in the failing .
light.

The Attractive Country Home.
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. Some
day. when we have space, we are
going to write a succinct article of
about a column and a half entitled

Jackson Pay.
I'rom Tho Brooklyn Standard L'ttlSn
It Is notable, though apparently no
body noticed it,- that the birthday of
Andrew Jackson was not celebrated
anywhere In the United States with
dinners and effusive oratory. Evi

Andrew Jackson came to life today
he would surely repudiate the party
of Wilson and Bryan Just as that
party has repudiated all Jacksonian
principles.
The democratic party today Is for
everything that Andrew Jackson
never would have stood for: It is the
party of prohibition, of censorship, of
regulation, of "verboten;" it is 111*
party of bureaucracy.
That party insisted upon keeping
wartime regulations and laws In force
long after the war was over. They
demanded even more of them. Wher
