The "law" in the Case.
Much misapprehension seem to
persist as to the "law" governing
the formation of and membership on
the national committee of the re
publican party. It should be under
stood that the committee is not cre
ated by law; it is the creature of the
convention, provided for by a rule of
the convention, which may be altered
or abolished by any convention. That
Nebraska should have included the
"office" of national committeeman
among those to be voted for at a
primary election does not have the
effect of establishing the recipient
as either de Jure or de facto a mem
ber of that committee. It only recom
mends him to the delegates from Ne
braska as the person entitled to be
named when the roll is called for the
presentation of names when the
proper time comes In the progress of
the convention for selecting a na
tional committee. It is within the
province of the convention to reject
this name, regardless of the preferen
tial vote behind it. Such a course
is not at all likely, but it could prop
erly be followed, for the convention
names the national committee.
The waterlogged statesman from
Omaha says he deferred his presenta
tion of his credentials at the advice
of Senator Dixon; he very likely did,
for Senator Dixon is too experienced
to advise him to make any further
display of his egotism- and lack of
understanding than be bad already.
As to his being the "legal" member
of the committee, this will be deter
mined after the convention has acted.
He will doubtless be appointed by the
delegation' and confirmed by the con
vention.
That Law of Self-Preierration.
Mr. Ismay having admitted before
the London board of inquiry that he
knew when he escaped from the
sinking Titanic that others were left
helpless on board, was asked: ,
"Where were these passengers
when your lifeboat left?"
He replied: "I really was not
thinking about that."
"Didn't you think, as managing
director of the company responsible
for the number of boats aboard, yon
should have been the last except the
captain to leave the ship?"
He replied: "I did not."
To J. Bruce Ismay this law of self
preservation is Inscrutable. His eon
duct on that tragio occasion shows
the logic of the law in grlmest
climax. While 1.600 lives entrusted
to his ship's keeping and Indirectly,
therefore, to him, are being de
stroyed, he is succeeding in saving
his own, nor with a single compunc
tion of conscience that he owes aught
to that army of men and women the
pitiful prey of his company's crim
inal neglect..,.,...,,, ,
How many people placed In the po
sition of J. Bruce Ismay would have
done what he did? How strong
hold has this "first law of life" upon
the rest of humanity? Did we ever
stop to think?
Planting- Trees on the Hills.
Every western state, and particu
larly Nebraska, could with great
profit to itself and posterity, utilise
vsst areas of land for tree culture
which now lies Idle. Why waste this
soli when It could be turned to such
tremendous advantage as the raising
of timber? And why bemoan the
rapid Inroads on our forests, so long
as we fall to make use of the means
at our command to produce new
forests?
No need to go to remote places to
look for semi-arid land which may
be spared for this purpose; nearly
every county in Nebraska and per
haps most of the farms in every
county have some waste land, land
that is difficult or unprofitable to
till and cultivate. Put this land out
to trees. Let every farmer begin at
home the seat reform or reforests
tlon and In a few years our state
shall be selling where it is buying
lumber, and If other states will fol
low the same example, they will all
together be so vastly enlarging the
timber supply as to do away entirely
with all anxiety for the future. Here
is a good place to practice intensive
soil culture.
Slow Down at the Crossings.
Omaha autolsts need no more
demonstrations to convince them that
racing past crossings or intersections
or waiting street cars at corners is
dangerous. City ordinances prohibit
It. The nuisance should be abated
and the ordinances rigidly enforced
Sf It is not.
Neither the law nor publie senti
ment seeks to circumscribe the rights
or enjoyments of the autolst. He is
welcomed to the highway, but he
should remember that the pedestrian
was there a long time before him
Furthermore, tne pedestrian is not
nearly so likely to run over the au
tolst and Injure htm as the autolst
is to knock down the pedestrlsn.
There should be little trouble in
holding machines under safe control
In crowded streets, but if there is
the police powers should be fully ex
erclsed upon the offenders, who, in
the face of law and 'constant warning,
cannot easily offend accidentally.
Since the imposition of the in
heritance tax in New York the state
has collected, up to September 30
1911, a total of $87,500,000. As
means of reaching invisible wealth
the inheritance tax is the most sue
cessful ferret put on the Job.

A Social ReTolatlea.
Social unrest widespread In Great
Britain. The Industrial world is a vast
cauldron of discontent, manifested in
labor strikes and threatened strikes. The
dockmen's strike is an offshoot of the coal
miners' strike, and the latter threatens
again te burst forth owing to the un
satisfactory results of the arbitration
boards. Among the laad holders and the
well-to-do Increased taxation and de
creased Income provokes lamentations
and bitterness. Remedies for both con
ditions are numerous as the causes.1
The latter class imagines if the toriea
were returned to power the favoritism of
former tunes would be restored. But they
forget that government expenses keep
pace with Increased revenue, and the
torief, to keep the pace, would be !
obliged to seek revenue from sources best
able to hear It Relief in that direction,
therefore, is an Idle dream. Industrial
discontent is a far more difficult problem,
having many sides and sources, from
sindlcallsm to simple demands for a living
wage. Jerome K. Jerome, addressing
some undergraduates at Cambridge uni
versity cogently expressed the views of
unbiased minds In these words: "I have
no fear of labor. I see a body of men
realising the vastness of the power that
has corns Into their hands, and recognis
ing the duties and responsibilities that it
Involves determined to claim for them
selves no more than Justice and experi
ence demand; grasping the interdepend
ence in every civilised state of class upon
class wished to regard themselves as citi
zens first and as member of this or that
particular section afterwards. The social
revolution has got to come. The duty
of every thinking man Is to help to pre
pare the way for it that it may corns
upon us, not armed with anger, and with
hatred, but clothed in reason, bearing
promise In Us hand."
Csitr aad Effect.
Premier Giollttl of Italy declared In
recent Interview in a London news
paper that the war with Turkey over
possession of Tripoli must end soon.
Italy, he said, "had been merciful, but
her patience was nearly exhausted." No
explanation was offered as to the man
ner of ending the war quickly. A sug
gestion of one of the ways a.v meant
comes with the news of an insurrection In
Albania. As a fire In the rear the
Albanian affair helps to Increase the em
barrassment of the young Turks In con
trot .t Constantinople and thus force
thesn to listen to overtures for peace
Rumor puts the number of Albanians
under arms at 12,000, of whom half are
said to be massed near Ipek, white 3,(X

who, in the ttth century, successfully de.

Troable la Morocco.
There Is no direct connection between
the insurrection against the French In
Morocco and ths Arab defense in Tripoli.
In Tripoli Italy Is fighting a race and a
religion. In Morocco France Is contend
ing against ths Berber tribes, who prefer
murder and pillage to the avocations of
peace. "France," says the New York
Sun. "has simply Inherited the sultan's
discarded task of suppressing freebooters
of the Ralsull brand. The Berber tribes
were always at the sultan's throat, be
cause he had always to endeavor to pro
teot the plains from all pillage save that
Of his tax officials. Alt efforts to ere-
serve order, to protect life or property,
are necessarily injurious to the hill peo-
pie and bound to awaken their resistance.
As Moroccan chaos has increased re
cently, moreover, their area of pillage
has widened and already French occupa
tion has begun to restrict It. Thus while
the French task In Morocco is difficult
and will take a long time, It does not
rise to ths dignity of a war of conquest,
tut rather takes the form of a huge po
nce operation, to describe it as any
thing else is to miss the real character."

The troubles of John Chinaman are not
wholly political or economic. There are
a few individual troubles which are
shifting from one common source to an
other. Just as soon as he began to re
strict his appetite for the opium pipe.
Originally Introduced by western clvllU
ers, along comes another combine of
civlltsers with ths cigarette as an offer
ing of good will. "The use of cigarettes
In China." says an American consular
report "Is increasing rapidity among
the natives, and It is possible that If
the same methods were used to Intro
duce chewing gum tt would have a
similar success. Ths British-American
Tobacco company entered this field sev
eral years ago. With headquarters In
Shanghai It has established large houses
In each of the treaty ports, from which
traveling men are sent through the cities
and towns of the Interior, placarding the
walls with hugs Illustrated posters
printed In Chinese. These salesmen dis
tribute sample packages of cigarettes on
the streets, giving away many thousands
as an advertisement and then arrange
with some native merchant to carry a
stock of their goods. By these effective
and energetlo methods they have built
up an enormous traffic, which Is steadily
growing."

Liberty of the press as It existed In
Turkey under the rule of Sultan Abdul
Hamid was not a thing of beauty nor
much of a Joy. The then regulations of
the press have lately been published.
Editors were left In no doubt as to what
they must and must not print For ex
ample: "The papers most publish, in the
first place, the news about the Inestim
able condition of health of the ruler,
then about the condition of the crops,
then about the progress of agriculture
and trade In Turkey." "Alf blank spaces
or lines made up of dota must be care
fully avoided, as such procedure can
easily give rise, to wicked suspicions and
disturb people's minds." "AU matters of
a personal character should be strictly
avoided, and. If .the editor hears of such
nd such a governor or governor general
bfilng dismissed for theft, or murder, or
some such criminal offense, he should re
sard the report as npX true, and abstain
from publishing it"

Mother, Where la Voir Daughter t
OMAHA, June 5.-To the Editor of The
Bee: As I was returning to my room Ian
night after the show at 10: o'clock, go
ing up Chicago street I passed a neatly
dressed young couple. Tbey were, ap
parently, of the would-be refined class
The girl, doubtless, was In her 'teens,
and the young man perhaps a little older
As I passed them the girl was saying to
her escort: "I am getting so I dread to
go home. When I am home I have to be
so darned decent I Just have to keep
watch of myself all the time,"
Mothers, what la going to be the result
of that young girl keeping late hours
out at night In the company of young
men? What about your daughter? wna:
about hundreds of daughters we meet
on the streets every night under similar
circumstances, and engaged, in similar
conversation? If their habits abroad in
the city. In the company they keep, arc
so Indecent that the decency of their
home keeps them on watch to avoid giv
ing themselves away, what is going to bi
the result? Mothers, do you care? Does
your duty to your daughter extend out
side the walls of your home? In what
measure are you responsible for the fu
ture character of your daughter? How
far are you responsible for her choice of
the company she keeps, the character of
her associations and entertainment? How
responsible are you for every influence
that touches her life?
Mothers, think this over. Stop right
here Place your elbows on the table.
rest your head on your hands, close your
eyes, and get in tongh with yourself.
Hold a little discussion with yourself
over this matter. Remain thus till you
really love your daughter; till you really
appreciate the relation, and accept the
duty of a pure, loving mother to her
daughter. Then go and get in real touch
with your daughter, such as, perhaps, you
never have known, as yet Lay your
mother heart against her child heart,
till you have established a power that
will overcome evepy outside Influence
In the world. You will soon be surprised
what an influence you are having over
your daughter; what a new interest she
takes in her home. Soon she will have no
secrets from her mother; she will not
have to watch herself not to give away
her Indecent tendencies, her mother wll'
be her confidant, as every true mother
is to her daughter. She will consult her
concerning atl her associations, and con
fide In her the essentials of her Ufa
Mothers, when you have done this you
will save your own household; and have
done more for your city, for the state.
and for society, than the ballot will ever
help you to do.

Rev. Kid Wedge Explains.
GENOA. Neb., June 4.-To the Editor of
The Bee: The morning edition of The
Bee contained an article entitled "Kid
Wedge Arrested Again." If you are go
ing to print, a statement that comes from
an enemy of mine, who seeks to ruin my
home arid my life work, then It Is no
more than fair that you print my side
of the affair. A large majority of the
citizens of Genoa are with me and are
Indignant over my arrest Saturday even
Ing. It waa done to keep me from
preaching Sunday. The warrant was
withheld for several hours and served
late In the evening to prevent me from
securing bonds. Several hundred people
gathered In the streets and held an open
air Indignation meeting, resulting in send
ing two auto loads of business men to
Fullerton, finding the Judge, sheriff and
county attorney, securing the required
bonds and bringing me back to Genoa.
The church was too small to hold the
crowds who gathered to hear the mes
sage and I was unanimously elected pas
tor of the Genoa Presbyterian church for
another year, good evidence that I have
the approval of every right-minded cltl-
sen In Genoa.
It Is true that I did give Lawyer Rose
a beating and I did no more than any
other man would have done under the
circumstances. By his malicious perse
cution In serving papers on me when my
wife was 111 and a little boy 4 days old
was In the home, he caused Mrs. Wedge
to almost lose her life. He knew the
sad state of affairs in my home last
winter and when asked to defer action by
my attorney he said "he didn't give a
damn, he was going to serve the papers.
When I met him at the depot and asked
him If he was trying to murder my wife
he replied In an Insolent manner that
aroused me to action. Since that time
be has hounded me In the courts and out
of court till I became to ill to provide
for my family and Mrs. Wedge bad to
sell our household goods to pay my
doctor bills and trip to the springs and
keep herself and baby. I am now well
rnd came back to Genoa to resume my
I . jtoral duties. I Intend to remain here,
because the majority want me to be their
pastor and believe it Is the will of God
that I continue the work begun.
freely forgive those who have wronged
me and my home and didn't mention
anything from the pulpit that would re
flect upon those wbo have made efforts
to wrong me and my loved ones. Atl f
ask Is that the public know the real
facts in the case and that I be permitted
to continue in the work of helping others.

A CHEWING GUM E0MANCE.
-
W. D. Nesblt, lii Chicago Post
When first he met her she was fair,
And chewing
Chewing
Gum.
A rosebud nestled in her hair;
He breathed his love unto her there;
But she she smiled a smile so rare
While chewing
Chewing
Gum.
v
She listened while he urged his suit
Still chewing
Chewing
Gum.
He vowed her charms had made nim
mute; , ...
And tuned his passion on a lute,
Then she declared the tune was cute
Still chewing
Chewing
Gum.
She strode in state adown the aisle
Still chewing
Chewing
met fier with a happy smile.
And they were wedded there, the while
She wept In pretty, bridey style
Still chewing
Chewing
Gum.
Today I saw her down the way,
Still chewing
Chewing
Gum.
Three chtldren, joyous, blithe and gay.
Were shouting In thetr romping play
And they were hers, I know, for they
Were chewing
Chewing
, Gum.
