Julius Sterling Morton was one of the most en ergetic souls of his time, and that included a wide span of the constructive period of Nebraska’s his tory. He helped to lay the foundations for the territorial government; he was actively engaged in the formulation and carrying out of plans that M up to statehood, and, once Nebraska had been made a member of the sisterhood of states, he was con tinually engaged in the councils of its wise men for the betterment of its life in every way. While his services in the legislature and elsewhere were notable, and he came into national prominence as a factor in the affairs of the democratic party, and was a member of the second Cleveland cabinet, his fame rests chiefly on his advocacy of forestry. Scientific forestry had not advanced as far in his day as it now has, yet he understood the value of trees, and appreciated the great need Nebraska had for planting them. His slogan, “Plant Trees!” preceded Arbor Day, the latter being chiefly the means through which the motto found expression. Thousands of beautiful groves adorn the broad prairies of the state, a monument to the idea so gen erously and steadfastly advocated by Mr. Morton. What might have been a monotonous landscape now is diversified and beautified because he preached the gospel of three planting, and encouraged others who worked with him and after him to the great end. His own home he made a show place, because he could thereby better exemplify in works the faith he had in tree culture. When he passed away, his splendid life work was perpetuated in Arbor lodge, dedicated to hie memory. This is now about to be taken over by the state of Nebraska, as a gift from the sons of Mr. Morton, who seek to give the whole affair into the care and keep • ing of the people of the state to which this great man gave so much of his life. On Thursday the formal transfer will be made at Nebraska City, where appropriate ceremonies will give the occasion the dignity it merits. Arbor lodge will be kept as a public pa»k, a show place, for the edification of the citizens and the visi tors to Nebraska. Its splendid collection of trees and shrubs, its delightful vistas and its general loveliness should make it one of the state’s most cherished pos sessions. As the first of what ought to he a steadily increasing number of monuments to the builders, Arbor lodge will be doubly dear to patriotic Nebras kans. SILENCE NOT A POULTICE HERE. Down from Spokane, in the land of other won ders, comes the latest story of wifely patience. Mrs. N'ettie F. Hammerly complains in court that her hus band has not spoken to her in 20 years. If he has communicated with her, it has been through the medium of one of their children. She has stood the silent treatment as long as she can, and now asks that she be divorced from the man who will not talk to her. Such incidents have been reported before, but are sufficiently rare' to excite comment. First thing that will strike the average man is that this husband, must have little comfort or consolation out of his family life. To sit in glum silence at the head of the family board, studiously ignoring the partner of the finn, seated across, must have become irksome at times, even after it became a habit. It is easy to understand how husband and wife may become estranged, or that now and then they can indulge in a general quarrel or even commit assault and bat tery one on the other. Yet either of these exhibi tions presupposes more or less oi conversation, aerimonius, bitter, unforgivable, but expressed in words. % Yet this man's grouch grew so strong and so deep through the years he could repress any sentiments ■ hat arose, refusing utterance even when he was most moved to speak. Just what started him is not stated, hut it must have been something unusual. As to the wife, we are of two minds in regard to a woman who would rut up with such treatment for so long a time. First, she shows a high sense of duty, both to her children and to her marriage vows. Against this may be asserted a lack of spirit, or else a spiteful . determination to see whether she could outlast her husband’s will to be silent. Sometimes there is a satisfaction iii that, even if the spirit back of it be a little bit Ignoble. In this case, the record is made up, and a divorce will not he charged with severing I wo loving hearts. BOYS WHO KNOW THEIR STUFF. Another of the groat indoor and outdoor sports m Nebraska is the judging of livestock. This means to know the fine points of an animal, and to be able to rate it for any one of the several uses to which it may be put. Knowledge of this tiort is gootl to pos sess. In days gone by the successful buyer of cattle end hogs was the one who could look at an animal and tell within a few pounds of what it weighed. I [is guess and the owner’s were compared, and if too much of • f-proad was noted usually the deal was de clared off, but if they were close enough together the difference was split and the money paid. Few hances to weigh stock were presented outside the big towns, and gt>od judgment controlled the trans actions. Other factors besides weight entered into the con sideration, but weight was the prime element, and guessing contests were popular as intended to de velop individual judgment. All this has passed be fore the modern methods of doing business, and estimating the weight of an animal Is of less real importance than the fixing of other qualities that must be determined upon. Livestock judging, then, has come to bo a matter of careful technical train ing, and an expert ifc one who really knows much about a steer, ft heifer, a pig, or a horse. All of which is prefatory to congratulating the boys from Webster county who have just won first place at the interstate fair at Sioux City. Cecil Means, Alfred Sommcrfield ami Earl l’orternier de ‘enc notice for having picked up information that will he of value to them all along the way of life, and we will hazard n guess that each of them knows baseball as well us he does livestock. MOTHER NATURE’S COMPENSATIONS. , If Mother Nature gives us a vicious sideswipe now and then, she must be credited with making speedy amends. Just about the time the farmers of central and southwestern Nebraska were figuring on harvesting a bumper crop of wheat, along came the dreaded black rust and blighted their hopes in that direction. It was a hard blow, and Mother Nuturc soon relented and sent along one of the finest corn crops of recent yea^s. And with this enormous corn crop comes a price that is highly gratifying, and com pensates in splendid measure for the loss of the wheat crop and the low price of that cereal in other sections. The immense corn crop means more hogs and more fat cattle, and these mean returning prosperity for the farmers. The Nebraska farmer who depends upon one crop is the exception these days. Time was, and within the recollection of men still on the sunny side of mid dle age, when corn was the. dependence of Nebraska farmers. It took a long time to convince them that winter wheat Could be profitably grown in central und southwestern Nebraska. The idea of raising anything in the western end of the state was hooted at. That was intended by Mother Nature for cattle grazing. But just as soon as the early generation of Nebraska farmers had learned to adapt themselves to soil and climatic conditions, instead of trying to make soil and climate adapt themselves to the farm ers, diversification began. Now, while Nebraska still ranks well at the front in corn production, it is also in the first four as a wheat producer. And along with corn and wheat comes the succulent sugar beet, alfalfa, potatoes and small fruits. A few states ex ceed Nebraska in total production of agricultural wealth, but not one exceeds Nebraska in the per capita production of agricultural wealth. Now that this position has been attained, Nebraska is steadily forging to the front as a dairying state. Mother Nature has indeed been kind to Nebraska. Her kindness will increase as Nebraskans learn bet ter how' to adapt themselves to her varying moods. A COMING DAIRYING SECTION. A number of bankers and business men in Scotts Bluff county have contributed to a special fund to defray the expenses of a committee to investigate the dairy industry in Iowaf-Minnesota and Wisconsin. This committee will soon make its report, which will deal largely with the methods employed in success ful dairy countries. With this report in hand the purpose s to establish a “revolving fund” to loan to responsible parties who will devote a goodly share of their time to dairying. It is Apparent to even the most superficial ob server that there is no better dairying country in the west than the upper North Platte valley. With beet tops, beet puljf, alfalfa and corn in abundance, an adequate supply of the best milk producing feed is insured the year around. The climate, too, is ideal for dairying. The upper North Platte valley has al ready learned the bitter lesson that dependence upon one crop is unwise. Heretofore sugar beets was the principal crop, and in hundreds of instances the only crop produced by the farmer. While this crop has been a profitable one, it has meant only one pay day a year. Business men real ize that this is not good for merchandising and bank ing, so they are determined to lend every assistance in bringing about a greater diversification. The cream check means money coming in every week, and that means fewer running accounts at the stores, more money in the banks, and greater net profits from the beet crops every fall. Expert dairymen will be brought into the North Platte valley to teach by example, and young men and women will be given evdry encouragement to engage in the industry. The campaign will be an intensive one, and the promoters are sanguine of ultimate success. They realize that the work can not be accomplished in one year, nor two or three. But the time is not far dis tant when the North Platte valley will be as pre eminent in dairying as it now is in sugar production. The enterprise shown by the bankers and business men of that section might well be emulated in other sections. Another way to make the corn crop profitable is for men and women to eat more of it. If there is a better breakfast dish than fried mush, smothered in butter or swimming in syrup, it hasn't reached this fa£ west. President Coolidge has been in office long enough for the democratic newspapers that gave him such nice words at the beginning, to begin using their little hammers promiscuously. Now that the heavyweight championship remains in the United States, let all who are glad of it lift their right hand. We see two, Jack's and Tex’s. With winter just around the comer people will envy Mr. Ford's millions less and his producing coal mine more. The league of nations has done something the United States senate could not do—it has amended Article X, but we fear it is too late to fool Americans. Armistice day is close at hand. Hut let us hope that it will be many a long month ere an armistice ends the gasoline ruction. Jean Acker is right, as to the clothing worn by prize fighters and chorus girls, and there arc other points of difference. ■ As usual, the football heroes are stepping right on the heels of the base ball warriors, who are just getting off the stage. Speaking of high wages, there’s a considerable difference between earning and receiving. Homespun Verse —Ily Omalm'a Own 1’iwt— Robert Worthington Davit WHEN THEY GROW UP.

A prominent reputilhap politician and political manager sa.va lie thinks Theodore Roosevelt 2d will be presl ! dent, of the United State* some day. This gentleman declare* the former j president’s son Is sure to gain in pop ular favor, and If lie does not become a candidate too soon ho is sure to be an occupant of the presidential chair. Teddy Itoosevelt, Jr., may be presi dent some day. Stranger things have happened. However, ho lacks a good deal of having the presidential liber that characterized his father. His father was only elected president after serving the unexpired term caused by the murder of President MeKlnley. It is doubtful if Theodore Roosevelt the Great could have Iioen elected president at the time that Mc Kinley was selected. Roosevelt knew practically nothing about tariffs and economics, a field that was well ex plored by McKinley. Roosevelt made a very good president, though his ad ministration was noted for panics, political scandal and double crossing, such as the country never saw before. Young Roosevelt has made many breaks, but he has been excused be cause of his tender years. AVhen he is older, however, the breaks will not be forgiven and he will have to stand or fall on his own merit. Prize Fighting as a Business. From tno New York Evening Font. Pugilism has finally received ifs ac colade as big business. Last Friday, accompanied by a host of admirers, representatives of Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion; Harry Wills, a contender for Mr. Dempsey’s title; Tex Rickard, boxing promoter, and the state boxing commission, all went to the supreme court in Brooklyn to argue on a writ of mandamus hy which Mr Wills sought 'to prevent Mr. Dempsey from meeting one Luis Firpo front the Argentine Friday night. A contract as drawn between Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Wills and ap proved by the commission was Intro duced In the proceedings and lawyers [set to work to discover just what It meant. The justice presiding listened and reserved decision. What a contrast to the days not so long gone hy when prize fighters were forced to sneak off to some dark cor ner, a barge in the river, a boat on the ocean, a carefully guarded barn or a meadow, there to exchange punches before a crowd of the elite who were admitted only upon proper identi fication. Wliat a contrast to the purses also. Mr. Rickard has spent $50,000 getting ready for me Firpo fight. Ages and ages ago boxing got its start in some prehistoric forest on the edge of sotpe antediluvian swamp where two shaggy males battled to the death. There were no on lookers then and no prizes save food or mate or life. Then personal combat de veloped Into contests waged between gladiators where one man sought an other's death with sword and spear. And. finally', down through the course of knightly battles came the fight with fists for money. Then gloves and science were introduced. And now. guided by lawyers, sanctioned by courts, and paid for by millions, prize fighting has become a business and a great big business at that. roolldge’s Consistency. From the Washington Siar. In Chicago a Coolldgefor President club has been organized, and the sec retary wrote to President Coolidge ap prising him of the fact, in reply the president outlined his attitude toward the post he now holds and to friendly efforts looking to his possible continu Mice In it. Ho frankly appreciates the motive, expressive of confidence in him. nut makes It > bar that seeking the nomination fnr 1*24 is at this time secondary to a duty which has prior claim upon Ills attention, that of carrying on the policies of the Hard ing administration and fulfilling to his highest ability the responsibilities of the office of chief executive of the United States. This outline of the action snd feel ing of President Coolidge is consistent with the course he has undevlatlngly followed since he succeeded to th* presidency. He has shown It In word anil deed. Not dissimulating or dis playing false modesty as to the nom ination, to which any American citi zen Is entitled to aspire in 1921. he nevertheless foresaw from the outset lh.it the first thing at hand was to take up the duties of which President Harding v is relieved by death before thinking of politics for the future. The American people were quick to grasp his interpretation of his respon sibilities and duties in the premises, and have continuously applauded him. Consistently carrying out this policy Is calculated to attract more genuinely effective supportjnext year than all the boosting clubs that can be or ganized. Francis Parkman, Hero ami Historian From tho Xttnneanolts Tribune Tho centenary of the natal day of Francis Parkman has Just passed. As a historian he has been extolled over tho wide world, but as an every day hero ho lias been little sung, and yet lie was as distinguished in the one role as in the other. Parkman was a remarkable exem plar of a man rising above serious physical handicaps through many years of a busy life. His health was miserably poor, and his eyesight for a long period was so Impaired that ho had to depend on the services of others who could read to him the ixioks, documents and manuscripts which he made the basis of his his orleal writings. In this disability he mtight himself to take notes with his own hand, unaided and unguided by ills eyes. Despite these infirmities Parkman was one of the most painstaking nnd diligent writers of his day. lie went ns scarcely any before hint had done to original sources for bis raw ma terial. In this part of his big task lie was virtually tirelpas. He had to r< treat time and again, but ns often as he did so ho returned to his labor, which became to him a l ilsir of love, and the substantive part of bis ilfe. He lived among the Indians of New Vnrk. Maine. Canada nnd tlie west. Tho Hlaek Hills, the Platt river coun try and tlie eastern slopes of the Rockies became familiar ground *o him ns he sought out I lie purpose nnd spirit of the ted man nnd drew from him legends and stories particularly stories of fact- about personages and events that entered Into the making over of the North American continent from a Innd of aborigines to u coun try of the white man, with nil his vices find virtues He gleaned the libraries of kin gland and Franco. He sought out Kuropenn monasteries for what thev might disclose to him of the beginning of things, their courses and the persons and Influences that shaped and determined them. Most other men would have yielded to the stresses that ravaged Park man's body sin! thereby imposed ex tra burden- on his Intellect, but not Parkman He had set himself in bis youth to a g 1*0at work In practically ' login soil, and when he died In 1811,1 It could lie said of him truthfully (hat he fought n good fight Hint lie fin ished liif course nod that he kept the faith according as hr saw' and Inter preted the duly he laid upon himself. The name of Packman is secure ns long a- \inei lean history shall be read or written Whatever he the assent tu oi UlsMiit from what lie has set down on the printed page, he will be adverted to j^s one who suc cessfully challenged diversity and touched history with the charm of romance. Coolidge on .Solid Ground. From the Kearney Hub. Secretary Hughes states the present foreign policy of the administration very clearly when he says, "that if all will join In naming a commission of experts we will participate in academically studying the 'amount that Germany should pay, but with the express provlsloh that we under take no future responsibility." That is certainly fair enough. The United States has no financial or other interest In the matter except repay ment of war debts that are due and overdue, and for which all possible consideration is exercised, and is therefore a disinterested friend and impartial adjudicator. homo democratic newspapers, hap pily not all, are nevertheless de termined that we shall identify our selves with any European program, no matter how crooked the path nor how far into the wildernesi it leads, and are free In their criticisms and slurring references to the administra tion position laid down by Harding and taken up by Coolidge. A southern democratic newspaper charges that President Coolidge “is the victim of tho timidity, irresolu tion and subservience to politics which marked the foreign policy pur sued by the republican administration before France moved into the Ruhr,” etc. The contrary fact is that Hard ing and Hughes were not timid, but using ordinary caution in avoiding for eign complications that did not con cern us; that there instead of "irreso lution" a. resolute determination that we should not meddle with the mat ter that were the concern particularly of Germany, France and England, and that Instead of "subservience to poli tics" there was on the contrary an utter disregard for the game of poli tics being played by tire democratic press and politicians. A large body of democrats still in sist that a republican administration shall act as administration for the fur therance of Wilson's democratic league policy that was snowed under and condemned by many millions of votes u_[ the last presidentian election. That issue is therefore* all past and gone, except so far as it is re-embod ied in a Hannon's ghost with which to frighten timid statesmen and cow ardly politicians. Rut the Coolidge administration, as wag that of Hard ing before him, is immune from spinal weakness and mental irresolution. If I ho democrats are not pleased they have an opportunity to take the issue Hu to tlie people ncain in the election of 1524 and see what happens. Sanitarium Debates By "BIGS" BAER.

Perverting Commission Government. Omaha—To the Kdltor of The Oma ha Bee: Noting George B. Child'* letter in Jour evening issue of thl* date, w herein lie compares the action* of the city commissioners to those of department heads of a big business, it seems to me that he has, uninten tionally, put lit* finger on the vital point of the whole situation. Among the Omaha commissioners, there is not one who is actually man ager of his department. Pull, polities, personal interest, or merely the desire for publicity make It possible, under our commission plan, for two or three department heads to mix in at any time and tell the manager of some other department how his end of the city's business shall lie run. In what other business would this condition bring good results? In jour own business, could the foreman of the press room teil the sporting editor which reporter should he sent out to cover the Ln-mpsey-F'irpo match? Or if he did not like the way the said match was written up, could the press room foreman force the resignation of the reporter? This is what goes on among our city fathers all the time. If each one, from the mayor down (or up) would mind ilia own business, run his own department, and let each of the others run his without outside Inter ference. either open or underground, letting each department head stand or fall upon the results of his own efforts, perhaps we would have better government. At any rate, no one could' offer any alibi if he failed to make good, and his employers, the voters of Omaha, not the mayor, or any other fellow employee, could vote thei# approval or the reverse at the next election. This is real commission government, such ns has been successful in Des Moines and other places. What Oma ha has is a smaller form of the old city council, with most of its ineffi |clency, log rolling, and petty politics, and not much of tho efficiency of a real commission. Hack in 1910 or 1911, when Omaha, like other cities, wanted the commis sion plan, certain politicians, some of whom still feed out of the public bag, slipped over the present so-called commission plan. The writer, then a newcomer to this city, does not know who was responsible for It, but it surely was a real package. Probably the only real permanent remedy would be to remr-del the whole thing, put in a real commission form, w here each commissioner has absolute power over his own department, with the recall always hanging over him if he fails to make good, or tries to turn the public service to his private profit. Don’t blame the nten in the city hall. The fault lies in the system, not In its personnel X. X. Why Observe Constitution Week. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Let not those who wit nessed the e.bservanre of Constitution week regard it as the function of any particular class or the worship of a fetish. The Constitution of the Vnited States is at the very foundation of or dered liberty Like politics, it seen:* remote to the indifferent in times of peace and uuict^jet strikingly per sonal to all In times of war or serious unrest. Many have fallen Into disrespect for law and seek to correct abuses even to the extent of abandoning the fun damental principles which the consti tution has established. What are these principles' How are they of importance to the present-day man In the street? What movements or measures contravene the constitu tion? Shall we preserve and respect this instrument as essential to the welfare of this country? it guarantees permancy and stabil ity of these rights: the government is no higher than the individual and each citizen no better than his neighbor. The protection of the constitution has been so enjoyed in this country that we are apt to forget the possi bilities if it were removed, though we have before us today examples of what the lack of constitutional limi tation can do for the individual. Just now there Is the perennial dis ■ ontent with the administration of criminal law, especially in our metro politan communities, tluit is causing some to turn away from orderly and constituted authority. Many are the difficulties with which the law contends in the field. Igiw and public opinion do not always keep I'i't; popular impatience of restraint; the rapid growth of commercialized lawlessness; the desire to protect the innocent and prevent the develop ment of a criminal out of the casual offender; these and many more dif ficulties to overcome. But there is nothing in the constitution or the great principles enunciated hv the su preme court for our protection that necessitates taking the law from con stituted authority Into one's own hands. The same is true of all the flagrant abuses, large and small' of which the time Is prolific. They can all be rem edied without sacrificing the great good to be derived from preserving j fundamentals. All personal rights are held subject to the rights of the pub lic health, safety and morals. And no abuse, however needing redress, justifies the turning awaay of the great plan which this country has suc cessfully and happily followed for 134 years.
