The small boy will readily agree with the conclusion of congress to put 8 tariff on shingles. The flowers that bloom In the spring, tra la, have nothing to do with the case. A sentimentalist announces that one touch of spring makes the whole world good-natured. But for all that no one loves the umpire. A Massachusetts man has Invented a machine which he asserts will im mediately detect an untruth. It Is not a political machine. It is to be noted that Nebraska's su preme court commission has gone out of business, but not until the salary appropriation had lapsed. A man named Kouwenhovenberg re cently won a clay pigeon Bhooting match in New York. Probably the name struck them forcibly. Presumably no one will take a chance this year on sending a complimentary case of Nebraska brewed bock to the executive mansion at Lincoln. Debts no bar to matrimony is the decision of a California court. If they were the market for American heir esses would be seriously Impaired. The tariff bill as it stands retains the duty on menu cards. If u will deal gently with the dinner the aver age man will willingly dispense with the menu cards.

Who says there's noth ing In a name. i Here is a chance for the purchasers Of foreign titles. Make Uncle Sam a present of a dreadnaught for the navy. It would be cheaper than buying an Impoverished count. I After all the efforts of the legislature In creating Jobs for democrats it Is au thoritatively stated there are still 47, III hungry ones in Nebraska who can mot be provided for. A charge of Insanity has been pre ferred against an Iowa school teacher because she wants to get married. On that basis will not Iowa be working the alienists overtime? For a city which came out west at the League of Municipalities meeting to tell how a model city should be run, Baltimore la doing right well, it has only developed three municipal scan dals within the last month. Chairman Norman E. Mark's pro posal to publish a monthly magailne as the official organ of the national democracy looks like lese raajeste to Mr. Bryan and his Commoner. Who constitutes the democratic party, any way? A party of Chicago men accused of swindling by the collection of $20,000 for a de luxe edition of a book are .said to have Jumped their ball bonds. What the books were does not appear, but the price has a decidedly de luxe Appearance. If Omaha's worldllness has been keeping the good people from the rest of th state away, the 8 o'clock clos ing law should remove all objections and bring us a big Influx of country cousins aa soon as it takes effect. Walt and see. Time to Wake Up. It Is time for the people of Omaha, and especially the business men of Omaha, to wake up to the necessity of seeing to It that this city and county are properly represented In the legis lature. Omaha every year spends hundred of thousands of dollars to cultivate trade territory and to cement a feel ing of friendship with the cities and towns and rural districts of the whole state. Omaha holds its annual Ak-Sar-Ben festival for the express purpose of en tertaining visitors from surrounding communities and making them feel that we appreciate their confidence and favor. Omaha has projected and carried oa successfully the National Corn show, designed to help educate the farmers to more modern methods of agricul ture and Insure prosperity on the farm In which the city will later share. Omaha Bends out each year several trade excursions to return In person the friendly visits we receive from the merchants an trades people who pur chase goods here. Omaha annually entertains a score or more conventions and meetings of societies or organizations interested in special work In commerce, education, social reform and religious propa ganda and tries to keep in touch with what Is being done in these lines throughout the state. And then after this tremendous ex penditure of time, effort and money to get closer to the people of the state, we permit a bunch of disrepi tables, self-seekers, corporation hirelings and notorious grafters to go down to Lin coln as our accredited representatives in the legislature, to undo In a few short weeks what we have laborious! accomplished in years. The Bee does not hesitate to say that, .with not to exceed two excep tions, the Douglas county delegation in the. late legislature could scarcely have been worse. Instead of making friends for Omaha and shaping legis lation to benefit their constituents, their disgusting behavior and brazen subserviency to corporation masters antagonized and alienated ttve decent membership of the legislature or dinarily disposed to be fair. Assuming that the roustabouts and tricksters constituting the Douglas delegation were truly representative of the people who sent them there, and that their flagrant misconduct was typical of Omaha as a whole, the law makers from the outside districts simply refused to give Omaha any con sideration whatever or to place any dependence upon the Douglas county gang. Advocacy of a measure by the delegation from Omaha came to be equivalent to its condemnation either as a boodle Job or a corporation scheme. The Bee hopes the sad and costly lesson will not have to be learned again soon. It will take a long time to repair the damage done to Omaha by its misrepresentation at Lincoln this winter, even if the reckless ex periment Is not repeated. Home Building and Prosperity. No better evidence of the perman ency of the prosperity which Omaha and this section of the west Is enjoy ing could be had than the amount and character of the building operations, not only of this city, but of the smaller towns and surrounding country. There Is not a single structure being erected which is Intended to house a purely speculative enterprise. In the commer cial world we have evidences of ex pansion and enlargements innumer able and new enterprises along well established lines, but these are simply responsive to pressing demands. The most notable feature Is the erection of homes, providing not only accommodations for more people, but quarters more and more comfortable than before. The poor and those who used to live in squalor have not been altogether eliminated, and it would be too much to expect that they will ever be, but the conclusion is driven home to all who will observe, that the peo ple generally, are year by year, on the average, living in greater comfort and enjoying greater household con vepiences. More Light on the Kealing Case. The tender solicitude recently ex pressed by Mr. Bryan in ' his Com moner for the United States district attorney who "showed himself willing to resign an office rather than to en ter upon a criminal prosecution which he believes to be unwarranted and dangerous to the public" gets some new light from the report Just sub mitted by the special committee of the National Civil Service Reform league which devotes a paragraph to the per nicious political activity of federal officials In Indiana. This Is what the committee says about Mr. Kealing, the "honest lawyer," over whom Mr. Bryan hps been shedding crocodile tears: In Indiana the republican organisation has ben for years controlled by what Is known aa the Fairbanks machine. The head of the machine all the time has been Joseph II. Kealing. I'nlted States district attorney. In the seven years during which he has held that office lie has devoted much time and effort to building up and strengthening that machine. It covers both state and federal politics. It forced the nomination of the rvcently defeated candi date for governor. Wealing was u delegate to the last national convention and had charge of the Fairbanks candidacy. A con siderable nuir.ber of fedeial officeholders In Indiana are opposed to the machlr.e. On on aide or the other. In the governor ship nomination, nearly every federal officeholder In Indiana in the unclassified service was desperately engaged, and their activity was of the same kind and nature and Included the aame wast of public tlm and contained the same element of advantage over private clttaena, whose time was not paid for by the government, as In the case of Mr. Keallt.g. Mr. Bryan evidently thought he could make some political capital out of the Kealing Incident, but. again, by Jumping too hastily at conclusions has plainly gotten off on the wrong foot. The Eaitr Festival. Easter sentiment as symbolizing the reawakening of nature Is as old as the race and with each recurring Easter festival that sentiment grows stronger In Its hold upon humanity. It has Its origin in the Inborn Instinct that the hopes, the aspirations, and the little of accomplishment of the few years given to us on earth are not the whole purpose of the creator whose wisdom Is exemplified In all that surrounds us. The symbols of Easter are but re flections of those changes which na ture unfolds with the coming of spring when whatever was apparentfy dead once more becomes Instinct with life and the bleak landscape again takes on Its dregs of green. In the beauty of the budding flower nature renders its dumb tribute, while In songs of praise man gives voice to the hopes which nature teaches him are well grounded hopes not born of philoso phy or beyond analysis, but grounded on the concrete evidence which nature furnishes of their truth. The symbolisms of Easter and the thoughts which they engender must be elevating and inspiring. The universal observance of the festival furnishes conclusive proof that the modern-day world Is not wholly centered In sor did and temporary things, but remem bering the uplift of the past Is still seeking constantly for what is better. Stopping Waste. Until within comparatively recent times the people of the United States have been living and acting under the hallucicatlon that the natural re sources of this country were boundless and have drawn upon them with a prodigality born of that Idea. Fortu nately the awakening has come before Impoverishment and we are realizing that the fertility of the soil must be preserved and that slipshod and waste ful methods of farming cannot be de pended upon indefinitely to support our population. The opinion once common that our timber resources were sufficient In per petuity has given place to a certainty that the forests must be protected and restored else In the near future the country would be without lumber, to say nothing of the damage from denu dation of the forest areas. Probably In no one direction has the national habit of waste been so predominant as in the use of timber. In the earlier days of the lumbering industry only the best was taken and the remainder burned simply to get It out of the way. Railroads,' once among the" worst offenders, are taking the lead in re forestation and are also employing scientists to treat artificially varieties of timber previously considered value less in order to make them serviceable and also to increase the life of ties and other timbers which they use. A re cent discovery promises a process which it is maintained will render val uable the hitherto worthless gumwood of the south and make the short leaved pine of that section equal to the more valuable species. The former waste of the coal mines is being utilized, the packing houses and petroleum refiners have brought to their aid the ocientlst and there is now little waste product in these in dustries. All lines of manufacturing are aiming at elimination of waste and sooner or later the idea will permeate the American home, which is without doubt the most wasteful of all. This great country of ours can soon become many times richer simply by stopping needless waste. Relief for a Suffering Public. The New York court of appeals has come to the relief of a long suffering public which has borne none too pa tiently with the injustice forced upon it. The court has decided that simply placing one's baggage In a car seat does not hold it for the owner of the baggage while he occupies another seat with a friend or calmly reposes on the cushions in the smoking com partment. In other words, because the owner of the baggage has paid for one seat he cannot legally duplex him self by utilizing his baggage to hold two seats while some poor, tired mor tal stands up and waits for a passen ger to get off at the next station. All hall the court of appeals of New York. It has opened up a field of re form in judicial decisions which scarcely knows a boundary. The principle involved, carried to its legiti mate conclusion, will correct more of the ills of present-day humanity than any judicial pronunciamento since It was officially determined a passenger had no right to snore loud enough to wake the porter. Under the ruling "one fare one seat" not only has the passenger no right to hold an extra place with his baggage, but be is prohibited from holding an extra seat with his feet, lie can no longer look deliberately out of the window while his overcoat rests peacefully on the outer end of the cushion and the tired woman holding a baby patiently and sadly waits for the friendly nod which bids her shove over the overcoat and be seated. Even the weary strap-hanger may get In on the benefits. No more will the two stout women be permitted to spread out and absorb the space just vacated by a third, for the legal principle has been fixed that available space belongs to the available passenger. The faith of the American people In their courts has teen once more justi fied. Hall, all hall, to the court of ap peals of the great state of New York, which has blazed the way to this great reform. Dust and Tuberculosis. Problems of human life arc prob lems of dollars and cents to the insur ance man. Nothing which adds to or detracts from the sum of human exist ence is overlooked by him. Of the diseases which afflict humanity none compares in the number of victims with tuberculosis, and the investiga tions of one of the big life insurance companies as to the causes of this mor tality disclose some Interesting Infor mation. The company classifies deaths from this disease by the occupation of the victim and the figures obtained lead to the conclusion that one of the most potent. If not the most potent, cause is the dust which finds Its way Into the lungs of the victim. Federal statistics and those of the insurance company indicate that of deaths from all causes of males over 15 years of age 14.8 per cent were from consumption. According to in dustrial Insurance statistics in those exposed to metallic dust the rate was 36.9 per cent, 26.6 per cent In those exposed to mineral dust, 2 4.8 per cent among those exposed to vegetable fiber dust and 32.1 per cent in those exposed to animal or mixed fiber dust. It these figures served no other pur pose than to fix the rates of life insur ance in the occupations involved they' would be of little real service, as the Industries of this progressive age will be carried on no matter what the toll in human life. The same investiga tions, however, disclose the fact that this startling death loss Is in a great measure voidable. It is paid today because so many factories . are illy ventilated and without provision to prevent the dust which the worker Is compelled to breath. Expert opinion holds to the belief that Intelligent methods can reduce the consumption death rate among wage earners from 2.2 per 1,000 to 1.5 per 1,000, which would mean an annual saving of 22,238 lives a saving surely worth striving for. Trusts in England. In the stress of effort to throw off oppressive burdens, people In one country are too apt to overlook the fact that other countries are suffer ing from the same Ills, often In greater degree than themselves. So vital and absorbing has been the contest in this country to curb the power of the trusts, great industrial and railroad combinations, that we have largely overlooked the fact that other coun tries have the same problems and none has yet attacked them with the same vigorous effort. . " " x I The solution in this country Is ad mittedly only in its "formative stage, but a good start has been made. Some abuses remain to be corrected and thinking men concede that they present a difficult problem, on whose right solution our industrial future in great measure depends. The political moun tebank can fix it all with the wave of a hand or by a stump speech, but his remedy is usually more fatal than the disease. To those who are Impatient at tha seeming slow progress of governmen tal efforts to control and regulate these combinations in the United States the following from a report of the Manufacturers' association of Great Britain should prove interesting: Manufacturers regard with Increasing anxiety the- working arrangements entered Into between various railway companies In Great Britain. Nb adequate steps seem to have been taken by the Board of Trade to safeguard the interests of manufacturers and traders and the association will closely watch developments and collect evidence bearing on the matter. Likewise In ship ping there continues to be a growth of "rings" or "conferences" which aim at the complete elimination of competition in trade with certain markets, with the In evitable result that freight rates have gone up to an abnormal figure and British trade Is seriously suffering from having to pay more for transport to dlBtant markets than has the foreign merchant and manufac turer. Perhaps before long the European governments will help us develop the true policy of dealing with big busi ness organizations. A minister as chier of police is the novelty which Mason City, la., will present to the world. Here will be an opportunity to demonstrate whether the most pronounced critics of present methods of dealing with municipal problems have a more effec tive method for their solution. The Swiss government is debating the advisability of outlawing the merry widow hat. When the first one was imported and an attempt made to bring in another it stuck out over the border and threatened international complications. It has been a standing problem in this country what to do with our ex presldents. The only one possessed by the United States just at present Is solving the problem without waiting for the aid or consent of any nation on earth. Democratic politicians are figuring out Mow long It will be before Ne braska will have another democratic legislature. Turn the Job over to the astronomers, they are more accus tomed to dealing with magnificent dis tances. A new law adopted in the state of Washington makes tipping a misde meanor. Evidently it is Intended that Seattle exposition visitors shall be able to retain enough of their money to get out of town after seeing the sights. One after another come the rail roads with announcements of addi tional trains to handle traffic Incident to the anticipated heavy tourist move ment. If this traffic, carried at less than the 2-cent-per-mIIe basis In costly sleeping cars. Is worth the effort to secure It. it would not appear that the roads In this section at least could consistently object to carrying local traffic in day coaches at the 2-cent rate. Mr. Bryan's 'missionary work in Texas in behalf of bank deposit guar anty Is yet to bear fruit. If Texas falls to enact the law demanded by Mr. Bryan, he may retaliate by selling that farm and moving back to Nebraska. When the executors of an Ohio es tate turned over 1.44 of a bequest of $40,000 to the institution for which It was intended the grand jury decided that is not a fair divide. What do Ohio people want, anyway? If Medicine Hat will keep a little of the freshness which it Is now sending down this way until July and August It will earn the gratitude of the man whose winter overcoat Is becoming a little threadbare.

Mr. Harrlman Insists that he and his as sociates ar anxious to obey the laws, and he declares that he Is not angry at people who have begun suits against his railroads for violations of the interstate commerca act.

Gentle Spring brought its overcoat along. Wise Guy. n the absence of nature's handiwork, Easter hats will serve as visible signs of spring. The winner of the last Marathon Is a Frenchman and a waiter. Chasing tips de velops uncommon leg power. Ono advantage of a belated spring Is worth noting. The open car and the end seat porker are still in the woods. Nothing so effectively takes the starch out of a star-bangled American patriot as to drop into a town where horse cars adorn the scenery. Phlladc tphlans appear puffed because the country has not observed that a Marathon was pulled off in that vicinity. It is really worth while noting that the Quakers are going some. Owing to the extreme mildness of the winter and the unusual hardness of the Ice crop. Chicago dealers announce a ralae of 10 per cent, summer delivery.

Boston Herald: Requests from the pulpit will be likely to fail In materially cutting down the forest of flowers and plumage next Sunday. Full joy without the Easter hat is unthinkable. Philadelphia ledger: Pastors hav just been advised by the bishop to pay their debts. Possibly this will spur congrega tions up to the point of providing some thing to pay the debts with. Cleveland Leader: A Philadelphia min ister says he can "take a $100 bill, a pad and a pencil, and make a fortune In Wall street." Other innocents have thought the same. Hence Wall street's prosperity. Baltimore American: There is a Chicago minister who says he Is going to try and save the souls of millionaires. Religiously speaking, he puts them In the same class of needing missionary work aa hoboes and drunkards. New York Herald: According to Rabbi landman of Philadelphia, King Solomon was clever, but not wise, his forte lying In "solving riddles, coining phrases and turning proverbs." It seems a pity that this gifted monarch Is too far In the past to write the light-opera libretto of the future. lialtlmoie Aemiian: Hinhop Doane wants divorce persons to be socially ostacixed. This Is a diasttc measure on which there will be various opinions, but the recom mendation of the remedy emphasises the fact that it Is effective In cases which the law cannot touch. There Is no doubt that if osttraclsm were applied to many high financial und social sins, the problems now arising from them, would settle themselves.

Self-love keeps the life tramping around In a circle. No church wins men when It seeks to work them. He who consults only expediency soon silences conscience. A man Is quite likely to disclose his conscience by his suspicions. It takes more than sharp angles to prove that a man lives a square life. The drudgery we call a drag may be the counterpoise that helps us rise. When the conceited man sees his shadow he thinks it is night for the world. To use a great truth for wholly selfish ends may be to make a great He out of it. You cannot measure a life by the dis tance between its early poverty and Its later income.
