For years the Weather bureau has been issuing a weekly statement of trie condition of the growing crops which has been a valued source of In formation, especially to growers and (mall dealers not in a position to col lect the data for themselves. A differ ence between the statistical division of the Agricultural department and the Weather bureau last year robbed these reports of the greater portion of their value and this year threatens their discontinuance altogether. Last year the weekly bulletins were confined to rainfall and temperatures in the various sections, leaving the reader to guess as to the effect of these conditions upon crops. This was decidedly unsatisfactory, although perhaps, better than nothing. The pub lic cares nothing for the squabble be tween the two branches of the ser vice. If the statistical division objects to the Weather bureau reporting on crop conditions, It should undertake the work which it Is forcing the other branch of the service to abandon. At present the statistical division issues a monthly crop statement only and the same machinery which collects the ma terial on which this Is based could be made to meet the additional demand. The condition of the growing crops is a matter of too vital importance to the commercial world to permit any bureau, through jealousy, to shut off Information, which In the past has been found reliable, unless it Is ready to supply it Itself. Duplication of ef fort by the two branches of the ser vice may be wasteful, as the statistical bureau alleges, but failure to furnish the service Is a worse evil. The whole question Is now up to Secretary Wilson for settlement and as that official has been foremost in pro moting measures to enhance the use fulness of his department it is reason able to expect something positive from him. Delay, however, Is almost as serious at this time of the year as a reversal of policy. The public wants the service, as is amply testified by the action of commercial bodies pro testing against its discontinuance and cares less about Its source than about its reliability. International Commerce. The statistics of international com merce for 1907 Just made public are of such stupendous proportions as to be almost beyond comprehension. They show that the interchange of trade between nations for that year amounted, to $30,000,000,000, of which the commerce of Europe com prised two-thirds. These figures do not take into account the trade be tween a home government and Its colo nies and dependencies, such as be tween England and Canada or India and its numerous other colonies and the same is true as to other countries. Of this vast trade the imports of the United States represent a trifle over 14 per cent and our exports 9 per cent. For all Canada Is a British colony, It took 58 per cent of all its imports from the United States and 53 per cent of all the purchases Mexico made abroad came from the same source. The one thing which such figures bring favorably to mind is the growing interdependence of the nations of the world. With such a worldwide com merce no nation is so remote or Iso lated that It is not touched by It. No nation is so poor that it does not have something to sell and need something in return which is produced elsewhere. Nations can no longer live alone under such a vast scheme of International commerce, but whether they will It or not, must be a part of the world pro gress, for with such an interchange of products there is the Inevitable ex change of ideas. Few of the world's great movements have had back of them anything but the expansive force of commercial intercourse and the im provements of means of transporta tion have put all the habitable parts of the world In close touch with each other. ' Free Hand for Loeb. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has made it plain that Collector Loeb of the port of New York, la to have a free hand in dealing with abuses dis closed ' there. Influential people have appealed to the secretary to call a halt on the collector, but the secretary haa turned a deaf ear. Backed by the secretary, Mr. Loeb is likely to revolu tionize things in the custom house business as he is going about to remedy the evils In a most vigorous and thorough manner. Ia an Interview Secretary MacVeagh is quoted: My visit here at this time ia with a view 10 a closer touch with the problem of the port and with the men who ana handling them. Beyond- rhls It U only necessary to say that It would be a, great mistake to assume that everything ia wrong at the port, notwithstanding the as tonlhlng revelations we are all familiar with. It would be equally a mistake to think that there ia going to be anything like an insuperable difficulty In setting right what la wrong. What ta 'essential, first and foremost, la simply a public conviction that the cus tom house la sincere and determined on the one hand and that on the other hand it la impossible to go beyond the custom house and get aid and comfort against It at the Treasury department In Washing ton. In both theae matters the aituatlon Is aa it ahould be. It will, not take long to convince all concerned that Collector Iieb means what he aays, and It won't take long for anybody who trlee to withdraw the support of the Treasury department from the reforms needed at this port to find out that 'that ia not practicable. The statement of Secretary Mac Veagh clearly means more than an en dorsement of the particular action In question. It is a notice to all con cerned that every official of the Treas ury department is'eXpected to adminis ter, the, affairs of his office Id an im partial and honest manner aud that tn so doing he will be protected from any onslaught by parties at Interest; fur ther, that officials who fall short of this measure of duty must expect to walk the plank and that no outside In fluence will save them. Japan Shows Good Faith. Figures furnished by the Immigra tion bureau for April indicate that Japan Is acting In perfect good faith in its agreement to prevent the Influx Into this country of any considerable body of Japanese laborers. Each month since the understanding was arrived at between that government and the the United States the number of Japs returning to the home country has ex ceeded those reaching the United States. During April only 194 Japan ese of all classes were landed on our shores, while 253 departed and from Hawaii the difference was still greater. Aa a matter of fact, the number of Japanese in the United States has at no time been large enough to be a serious menace to labor or to any phase of our national life and there was scant warrant for the hue and cry raised on the Pacific coast. The attitude of President Roosevelt, at the time of that agitation has been amply Justified by results. Whatever we may think of ourselves It is patent that Japan is a power to be reckoned with and a radical policy pursued against a sensitive,, people might have led to serious complications. Fortunately the country, as a whole, did not lose lta head and stood firmly behind the president In a course which haa solved not only the national difficulty, but the local trouble on the Pacific coast as well. "To Be Regretted." As a matter of right and of law those new republican supreme Judges should not have been recognlxed. Their appointment was as Illegal as a crap game. Their only claim to recognition was the fact that three of them were working republicans and the fourth one a democrat who wqrked tu suit republicans. It Is to be regretted that the highest court In Nebraska should admit to seats thereon appointees who come under the commission of political greed. Columbus Telegram. It Is "to be regretted" that our old friend, Elgar Howard, Is so afflicted with party blindness that nothing that bears a republican label looks right under his critical vision. In his de nunciation of the Sheldon supreme judge appointments, however, he has again gotten his trolleys crossed. If their "only claim to recognition" was the fact that "three of them were working republicans and the fourth one a democrat who worked to suit re publicans," how does he explain the further fact that three of the Shallen berger appointees had likewise been appointed by Governor Sheldon, two of them the very same Identical work ing republicans? If the Sheldon appointees who were seated "come under the commission of political greed," what difference would there have been on this score If the Shallenberger appointees had been seated? What is "to be regretted" is that the democratic governor and legisla ture should have been so Inspired by political greed as to have undertaken lawlessly to use those supreme court vacancies as pawns on their political chessboard. Another Place to Save. The same county comptroller's re port that shows that tor the year 1908 nearly $4,500 was paid out of the county treasury for appraisers' fees In probate cases discloses that $2,745 was likewise paid out as attorneys' fees for defending indigent persons on trial in the district court. This Item for the year is smaller than it usually is be cause no very important cases required defense at the expense of the county, but it is safe to say that at least half of this money could have been saved if an attorney of fair ability were reg ularly employed on a salary to attend to this work. A deputy county attor ney drawing not over $1,500 a year does the prosecuting and the defense could easily be cared for on the same basis without overtaxing the time or talents of the attorney employed. Of course, to put the assignments to defend indigent prisoners all in one basket would seriously interfere with the practice of the Judges of distribu ting these favors as perquisites per taining to the Judicial office, but the same result could be obtained, if de sired, by making appointments of short terms and rotating them. If the judges were willing, this saving of money for the taxpayers could be done right now without any change in the law. Otherwise the legislature will first, have to act by the creation of the office of defending attorney. Another Commercial club trade ex cursion is off for a trip to booBt Omaha as a market town. The trade excursion haa become an established institution by which our business men are enabled to return the friendly calls they receive from merchanta In neighboring towns and to' cultivate new trade territory. With the experi ence gained on previous occasions the present trade excursion is a foreor dained success. The suggestion that our city council needs a chaplain brings forth the cheerful assurance from a local preacher that "If every session was opened with a word of prayer and with a verse of scripture, I know there would be no crooked work done." In tending no disrespect, we beg to recall that the late session ot the Nebraska legislature wag opened In each house with prayer every morning. Th midden killing of Chria Srhav land, secretary of the State Board of Assessment, just as the board was tak ing up the annual valuation of tuft railroads for. taxation Is particularly untimely In addition to Its other sad features.

Omaha has fewer banks now than it had twenty years ago, so if new banks enter the field it does not follow that they are the result of the new banking legislation.

The Wriaht Brothers and Their Triumphs Abroad. New York World. Orville and Wilbur Wright are Ohloans by the accident of parental migration. Eefcentlally they are Yankees of the' lean, angular type that has furnished its share and more of the world s Inventors. With the great inventors these two bicycle repairers of a small Interior city have placed themselves In ten years, by a combination of courage, ingenuity, persist ence and self-won scientific attainments of no mean order. It la not a small thing that they have done in reversing the cur rent of aerial invention and experiment, which recently set so strongly toward the dirigible balloon; In making the aeroplane a practical traveling machine, and In clos ing foreign contracts for actual delivery. Like most Inventors the Wright were poor. They had to earn a living while experimenting with costly and fragile ma terial. The plotting of the curves of an aeroplane propeller and of the set of Its wings la as complex a the problems of marine engineering and the Wrights had in effect to make 'their own text-hooks. Like Maxim, likeHltchcock, like the Irish American schoolrriaater Holland with his submarine boat, the Wrights found abroad the governmental recognition they could not win at home. They have not revolu tionized warfare, as Ericsson did with his Monitor, which turned to Junk the wooden navies of the world, but they have added to it new terrors, new complications, newJ corps d'tllte of men ready to die In a des perate cause. The Zeppelin airship will carry sixteen men, but It is very costly, it can alight only In a large body of water and it Is more than 400 feet long, an enormous target for the new Krupp vertical machine guns. The cheap little aeroplanes may yet be een by the hundred, like flights of battle birds, wheeling and swooping over the set field or falling with broken wings to earth. It ia a prophetic vision of terror but of beauty that the two Ohio Yankees have forced the world to look upon. CLEANING IP PITTSBIRO. Sentences Imposed In the Recent Graft Case. Pittsburg Dispatch. Sentences were Imposed upon five defend ants in the recent graft cases and upon two men charged with embracery yester day. The penalties range from one and a half years to three and a half years in prison, coupled with tines of S500 to $1,500. The flva defendants convicted of bribery and of conspiracy have appealed their cases to the superior court and have obtained supersedeases to stay execution of Judg ment until their cases are reviewed. The two convicted on the charge of embracery have apparently decided to take their medicine without a further resistance. While the previous good character of some of these defendants has excited the utmost sympathy for them In their predica ment, no one is likely to assert that the sentences are excessive for the crimes charged. The courts appear to have taken into account the extenuating circumstances In each case. Of course, there is the chance that the convicted . men may prove their innocence to the satisfaction of the higher court, or that they have not been given opportunity to present their full defense. In auch event the sentences will not stand What is said of them Is necessarily on the premise that the proof haa been adequate, as held by the trial court. . In any event, the main object of the prosecution has been gained; that la. not the severe punishment of the men, but the demonstration that the law cannot be set at naught Vith impunity. Bribery haa been branded as a crime, subject to sever,. penalties. This fact waa apparently In danger of being forgotten. Illicit bargain ing, according to common report, had come to be regarded aa the only means to obtain official action or favor. No matter what may be the final outcome of these cases, the proceedings have certainly destroyed the fancy that bribery has become an ac cepted custom. Stomach Trouble. Your tongue is coated.

The largest bunch of trouble ever passed up to a bureau of the Navy department Is d Ing Marathon speed from Donaldsvllle, l.a., to Washington. The bureau to which the package ia consigned devote Its atten tion to vindicating the dignity and enforc ing the rights of Vncle Barn's Jack tars and Is particularly energetic In pursuing and punishing ilrwice house proprietors who refuse ndmlttance to sailors in uniform. The IVmaldsvIll incident presents a com plication without precedent to guide the bureau, hence its perplexities will multiply the gray hairs of the bureaucrats before a satisfactory solution Is found. According to the advance notices, these are the facts: The younger society women of Donalds vllle held a reception and bull in honor of the crew i f the battleship Mississippi, now In these waters. Not conversant with mili tary discipline, the young women had in vited both officers and men. It was noticeable during the Introduction ceremonies that a coldness existed between the superiors and their subordinates, but matters went along pleasantly ennugh until the grand march. When every young woman had been ap portioned to her young man and waa ready for tne ball proper to begin, it was found that fully twenty men were unprovided for. They were all officers.' The orchestra swung Into a breeiy, rhythmic march and the fortunate young men. most of them Jacklcs, each with a beaming girl on his arm, went promenading up and down, change your partners, grand right and left, alternate couples to the right and all that sort of thing, while surplus officers retired, grumbling, behind a bank of palms. Before the first note for the first walla was struck, the officers had held a solemn conference and had' made a decision. The Jackiea must go. Kacli Jackie was told quietly hy a w liter that the officers of the ship were unwilling to depart from naval discipline of many years standing, whlcn stipulated mat privates might not mingle with their super iors on equal terms. Each Jackie, chagrined, was admonished to leave nis partner and the bright lights and the music, and all, and go elsewhere. It was an order from the officers, said the wait ers. Each Jack cast an anxious glance at the officer nearest him and read in his determined looks that orders were orders. So the Jackiea, & sorrowful crew, filed out of the hall. i But there is another chapter. When the officers looked for partners for the first walii the very first, mind you there weren't quarter enough girls to go round. The young women, loyal to the Jackiea, had departed with them. Attorney General Wlckersham was not long in office before his brother cabinet officers began to ask him for opinions upon various departmental questions. No doubt miny of these were framed by somebody lower down, who had not yet forgotten the sunlight of the Bonaparte smile, . and they went up to Wlckersham as a matter of routine. It was then that the uncom fortable quality of the new attorney gen eral became noticeable. He was not con tent to receive a hypothetical question, framed for the express purpose of estab lishing a convenient line of policy for some bureau and for no other purpose. He de manded the facts in every case, and then calmly proceeded to sit down and mull them over and write an opinion in accord ance with- them. It was hbt long before the effects of thla new policy became noticeable. Heads of departments who all their lives had Jeal ously resented the notion that anyone but themselves should decide dfartmental questions found th.it Wlckersham was de ciding things for them. They asked for the bread of smooth Information based on a hypothesis, and they were given the stone of a cold decision on the underlying facts. It Is now the talk In departmental circles that perhaps the departments had better settle their own . troubles among them selves, and not bother the attorney general unless some genuine law point Is involved. "Beauty sleeps" probably will defeat t'nele Barn's kindly plans to let his em ployes go to work earlier in the summer and quit earlier. The various departments in Washington are now being polled, and it Is the women who are objecting to moving the clock ahead. Kvery summer this plan is started usually by the base ball enthusiasts, who would be willing to go to work before sunrise If they would get off before the game begins. It has been discussed ai several cabinet sessions, and the various department heads are now putting It up to their employes. The departments at present begin work at 9 o'clock and close at 4:30. The new plan contemplates hours from :30 to 2, from 7 to 2:30. from 7:30 to 3, or from 8 to 3:30. These hours would be ef fective for June, July and August. So far the vote has been adverse, and most of the opposing votes come from the women, of whom there are many thousand on L'ncle Sam's pay roll here. "The men are generally In favor of start ing earlier," said one of the officials who has been polling the Interior department, "but, as a rule, the women object. They don't go to hall games much, and they Insist that they want to sleep longer in the morning.' The Navy department Is voting on start ing one hour earlier than at present, and the preponderence of men In this depart ment is expected to result in the change. The city house cleaning crusade which was Inspired hy the women of Washington produced results that are worth having. It appears that 3,7n5 vacant lots have been cleaned, 500 private alleys put In order and lfl.ono cellars, woodsheds and back yards made tidy since the work was In augurated last month. It Is proposed to make the movement something more than a Hpurt. and effort will he made to pre serve the Improved conditions throughout the summer. The work of spring cleaning for municipalities has spread widely throughout the country, having first be come established In the west, and now many eastern cities and towns promote community efforts of this sort. Here is a genuine suffragette victory and right in the capital of the nation: Roosters may no longer be kept In the District of Columbia.

But the gem of thla aerlea of "chicken regula tions" la the following: 4. "No roosters may be kept on the premises." A fine of from $2 to $10 a day la pro vided for all violations.

President Tflft Is putting up too good a game of golf to fret much over the fact that a Porto Rlcan editor needs treatment for a bilious spell. Julia Ward Howe, who will be 90 years old the 27th, Is quoted as saying: "The deeper I drink of the cup of life the sweeter It grows the sugar Is all at the bottom." By the death of Mrs. Christopher U Magee of Pittsburg, which occurred at her winter home In Rome, Italy, on Monday night, a fund estimated at $R,oon.non will become available for the construction of a hospital for women In Pittsburg. The Kansas supreme court decides that a shivaree Is a disorderly and unlawful pastime and that the victims of one have a valid claim for damages against the town or city In which It is permitted to take place. Law and common sense do frequently go hand in hand. Mrs.- Collla P. Huntington has given a large plot of ground at Broadway and One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street. New Tork City, valued at $260,000 or more, to the American Geographical society, on the condition that the society raise money for the erection of a building on the site. COHN' AND WHEAT. Obstacles to the Making of Real Corn Meal. Washington Fst. The Chicago wheat corner that so re cently demoralized the market in that cereal has caused another discussion of the feasibility of substituting corn meal for wheat flour In the economy of the kitchen. The thing would be as good aa ne If there were mills to grind real corn meal and cooka to bake real corn bread. There are a few such mills at the south and many auch cooks there; but the com mercial meal in cities, ground very fine and bolted at the mill, cannot be converted Into bread fit to eat hy the moat skillful cook, and that is the reason why the north haa ao long rejected corn bread other than an execrable stuff, compounded of eggs, milk, baking powder and a flour they call corn meal. Real corn bread is made of coarae meal, ground on a horse or water mill, the ut most capacity of- which Is not over twenty bushels per diem. The corn must be sound and carefully picked from the bin. Take that meal, sift It, mix It to a rather stiff batter with pure cold water, and bake the pone In an Intensely hot oven. Every atom of the meal, as it heats, splits open like a kernel of popcorn, and when exactly done the bread Is simply delicious. Most cooks add a little salt to the meal before mixing It with water, and most people pre fer the salt; but that was long ago voted plebeian, and perhaps that accounts for its popularity, the plebeians being in a large majority In this glorious union of ours. But corn bread will never become popu lar as pone, or hoecake, or Johnny cake, or egg hread, or batter cake, so long as the meal cornea from mills that grind the grain at terrific speed and cook the grist In the process of turning the grain Into meal. Nobody can make real corn bread of that stuff, and that is why the great majority of our people will continue to look to wheat aa the staff of life.
