14 THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. MAY 7, 1903. HARDY'S COLUMN view wherever President Roosevelt lsits. At least one flag out of every, fifty ought to be turned bottom end tip and Philippine written underneath. The stars and stripes represent the Declaration of Independence more than any other government record. Our flag doe.? not. represent slavery any more, but it ha3 just begun to rep resent imperialism. Open, friendly discussion of public questions in print or on the stump is the most direct road to patriotic in telligence now open. The republicans do not dare to hold joint public dis cussions of their party principles. We challenge the leaders bfthe party to debate the tariff, trust cr roony- ques tion. The Uquor, labor and transpor tation questions are also questions of public interest .... '' ' The last week in April and the first In May this year have seemed to go down in temperature much lower than usual. Back in '73 we, had much more snow, but it was not so cold and at that time Nebraska had little fruit in danger. The early cherries, peaches and apples are now sadly thinned out, the late varieties that had not dropped their blossom may survive the chill in part The winter wtieat, pastures and meadows have been set ahead by the heavy rain and snow. Then the ground has been thoroughly soaked fpi corn, potatoes and spring grain. So on the whole Nebraska stands well May day. v Plenty of Beautiful New Spring Goods to be seen while you are in Lincoln and some that you will surely want to indulge in. New anti-strike organizations are being formed in many of the striK towns throughout the country. In bouth Bend, Ind., a citizens' alliance has been formed; the following is a part of the purpose as published: "A!1, patriotic, law-abiding citizens are in vited to unite for the purpose of pro tecting individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution, ajid laws of our country. Men have the right to make use of their , labor in any useful employment either in their own behalf or to hire out to whom soever they chooser they have a right to strike, but they have no right tn force others to strike or meddle with them in any way." ii The law for taxing all recorded mortgages in the state of New York failed to get through the legislature. The politicians are not inclined to tax money loaners in any state; the mon ey borrowers are the "ones they cheer fully tax, even the property they are in debt for. New coal fields have been --found, rich and extensive, covering the we. I half of North Dakota and .the east half of Montana, extending down intc the northeast corner of Wyoming. Sev eral of the mines opened yield good aard coal. a The people of New York state are to vote a tax upon themselves of , hundred millions for enlarging th Erie canal. New York city pleads that the canal must be enlarged or New York city will pucKer up. The wide-oren city of Lincoln will probably pursue the most popular course, which is to fine the low women fifteen or twenty dollars every month, hand over one dollar to the school fund and put the rest of it into the pockets of the city officials as cost. No he-prostitutes are ever arrested. Do you know that . Th All Ukifrt firuA'n DllloC? The popularity of white for this summer has brought out a variety of beautiful weaves in white for dresses.

The Brooklyn bridge, ferry boats and all the street cars, surface and elevated, are crowded. It is thought that one underground street railway will not. be enough, that three or four will be needed in twenty years. Then thev are taking down good buildings and putting up new ones two and three hundred feet high. Park Row build ing shelters 6,000 people and has 1, 000 offices and ten electric elevator?, each run up 300 feet and back in three minutes. They are automatic. Press ing the button numbering the floor where you stand brings the elevator, then pressing the button where you ivant to stop takes you there. No ele vator man is present The government has just completed a five-mile bieakwater in Lake Erie In front of Buffalo, N. Y. Strong northwest winds sometimes fill the city with water up to the second floor , down near tUehabor There is a little Insect known as the honey bee that sweetens the Jiome meals. They need a little care in or der to yield nuch surplus honey. In the first place, they should be pro vided with a water-tight hive. Th.j inside space should be but little mors than a cubic foot. The doorway should be made small in the early spring and no surplus honey boxes should be put on -until May. The hatching of young bees requires a warm house. Then feeding them a little granulated, dissolved sugar early In the spring, when they first begin to fly around, ! seems to stimulate the queen to lay ing eggs earl, thus making th3 swarm stronger for work when the honey season comes. My bee hives are already crowded and one swarm came out May 4 and. are now busy at work. I expect them to give me forty or fifty pounds of surplus honey and perhaps a second swarm. The sweetest in vestment we ever made was two dol lars for a swarm of bees and two more for a standard hive. We have b glad to sweeten a few farmers the same way. H. W.
