Homestead Land in Nebraska.
With 1,300,000 acres of Nebraska
land still open to settlement, home-
seekers looking for Boil, climate,
proximity to market and transporta
tion advantages will do well to cast
their lot in tbe Antelope state. It
seems this was a prize the govern
ment, bad been, keeping "up its
sleeve," and only recently disclosed.
It certainly will not be long before
all of this, land will be taken up,
The most of it is subject to entry
under, the Kinkald act, permitting a
settler to acquire a full section. This
will be an additional attraction.1
With Nebraska's supremacy among
the great grain producing states be
fore them, which make it, on the
everage, the king of all western
states, home-seekers should need no
further argument to convince them
that here is their opportunity. Tbeyj
do not need to take the word of any
lan Vomer, they can simply take

Clark Crowd Wavering?
Managers of Champ Clark are said
to have determined to throw their
candidate's strength to Governor
Harmon if it develops the Missour
ian cannot be nominated. Of .course,
Clark and his crowd continue to pro
fess faith in their success, but they
lack faith or they would not be look
ing for a place to light at this 'early
day. Their lack of faith first showed
Itself when the speaker filed for re
nomination to congress. .
Clark's candidacy stands on inse
cure ground at best. He was put
into the fight by certain elements for
the prime purpose . of suppressing
Folk in Missouri after Folk had
fairly obtained his party's endorse
ment through the 'state convention.
Then Clark has been projected into
the Wilson state's to head off Wil
son. He baa teen used as a "man"
o the checker board of certain in
terests all along and it begins to look
as if they had about decided .that it
will not be, expedient to move him
back Into the king row to bo
crowned, hut- play iiln to the finish
merely as a "man"- out on tbe board.
f Same Old Debs.
Eugene V.' Debs, opening 'the so
cialists' , national campaign, makes
the, same old speech with the same
old platitude . and' the same old
epithets, the same old hollow argu
ments and the same old mis-state
ments of fact that be and his social
ist 'brethren have been . reiterating
for these many years.
The old party "stands for capi
talism, for the private ownership of
the means of subsistence, for the
exploitation of the. workers and for
wage slavery a spectacle of polltl
cal degeneracy never before wit
nessedln this or any other country,'
' Mr. Debs' began mouthing that
when be was only a wage earner him'
self and is mouthing now while hold
ing a 15,000 editorial Job, and he
probably will continue to mouth it
when, he gets a salary boost to $10,
OfO. This much must be said for
Mr. Debs, he has made his mouthing
pay himself. And in tbe meantime,
under almost unbroken republican
rule, these American workers who
have been "exploited" era the best
paid, the best treated and the most
Independent workers this or any
other time or land ever knew. All
of which,' Of, course, the well-la
formed Gene' Debs knows, perfectly
well, but cannot publicly admit, for
to him and bis that would be to "kill
the goose that laid the golden egg."
Veto of the Army Bill.
President Taft acted broadly and
courageously In vetoing the army
bill. He should never have been
asked to approve the measure. It
was conceived in a spirit of personal
animus, whose whole purpose was to
"get even" with General Leonard
Wood and one or two other army of
fleers. Such a purpose is unworthy
of congress. It has no rightful place
in any of its deliberations. For the
president to have approved the bill
would have made htm a party to
such smallness and subjected the
nation to deserved contumely. He
saved It by his veto, The bill doubt
less possesses some merit; possibly
is In need of some reorganization,
but It should proceed along different
lines. Congress does not permit
class legislation; certainly it cannot
stoop to petty personalities in shap
ing laws for a great government.
After successive appeals up the
legal line supported by a deluge of
technicalities, the appellate court ot
New York clinches the disbarment
ot Henry A. Robinson, head of the
legal department of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company. 1 Mr. Robin
son achieved distinction as a lawyer
and accumulated an air of respects
bllity supposed to be dense enough
to bide from public view jury fixing
and subornation of ' perjury.
Repeated success in this line of legal
crookedness conducted through in
termediaries made him overbold In
passing gifts to court officers, ren
dering tbe task of trapping him an
easy one. Mr. Robinson's disbar
ment is classed by -the New York
Tribune as a moral tonic. Manufac
turers of that brand of tonic might
work three shifts a day without
oversupplying the. local need for the
goods.
John L. Sullivan :s tbe new Ohio
member ot the republican national
committee. He ought to have ' no
trouble in getting a hearing.
THE BEE:
WHAT I WANT TO DO FOE OMAHA
By A. C. XugeJ, Commissioner of Department of Street Clean
i ing and Maintenance.
I want to do many things for Omaha,
Like other members of the commission,
I first want to see Omaha vested with
the legal power to make its own charter,
so that it can have a chance to govern
itself, as any city of its size should. We
want to remember that until we get this
power there is much that we should do
which we cannot do, but in the meantime,
there is much we can and must do.'
I want cleaner streets. Let us look first
at some of the causes of unclean streets
and see how easy it would be to im
prove matters and how simple after all
is part of this problem of clean streets.
Drays loaded with all sorts of materials
and waste are permitted to drag through
our principal thoroughfares and scatter
bits of their loads without picking them
up. Now, this Is a cause that is easy of
remedy. This is a public nuisance that
must be abated.
Again, the habit of throwing paper, on
the sidewalks and In alleys Is bad, helps
t litter streets. . This, too, can be
stopped. Some patriotic and high minded
persons, doubtless are careless enough to
do this. They should stop it. They owe
something to their city and those . In
charge of its affairs and they can help
discharge the debt by being more careful.
Tne emptying of refuse into gutters and
streets is another bad practice that must
stop. Housewives do this often. They
are hereby warned that they will be
watched.
Then their Is another little habit some
householders should get over, that ""of
throwing the clippings from their lawn
mower out into the street That helps to

GREED OF THE HARD COAL TRUST
Wage Increase, Doubled, Passed on to Consumers.
Chicago
Vmm nna end to the other of this
country there is Indignation and resent-
mn nvar the average advance 01 jo
cents per ton on hard coal made by the
railroads which monopolise me owner
ship, mining and transportation of an
thracite and fix the retail price of it
In every City, town and crossroads In th
United States. 1
n Anrii i last the miners In the Penn
sylvania anthracite region "suspended
work" Bending- a settlement of certain
demands made by them and counter de
mands made by tbe railroads owning me
mines. The chief demand of the men was
that they be given an Increase of 26 per
cent In wagss, while the railroads In
sisted mainly on the abolition of .the
"sliding scale ' of wages.
The miners have gone back to work at
an increase of 10 per cent In wages and
the "sliding scale" has been abolished.
Both miners and railroads seem satisfied.
How about the public? It sees that
tha Increase in wages to the miners
means an Increase of less than 5 cents per
ton-making the cost of hard coal at the
mines about .S5 per ton. . ' ,
This leaves, the railroads net gainers
ot about 19 cents on every ton of coal
they sell. Their Increase is four times
the Increase they pay the miners. The
general Increase In the cost of living is
a fair exouse for the demand of the
miners tor more pay for their work. The
railroads have not offered any excuse
to the public for absorbing four-fifths of
the general advance In the price of hard
coal. About the only excuse they can
offer Is that they want the money and
can compel the public to pay ltt : .
In lJW the anthracite coal miners struck
tor an Increase of SO per cent In wage.
After .hey iad .oat t35.Oao.000 In wage,
they accepted an Increase of 10 per cent
In wages named by a commission ap
pointed by president Roosevelt The rail
roads made millions ot "dollars by that
strike, for they promptly increased the
price of coal nearly ten times as much
per ton as the commission told them '.o
Increase the wages ot their miners,
yor more than fifteen fears it has been
known to every Intelligent cltlsen of the
United States that a certain group of
railways has monopolised the hard coal
industry. Repeated failures of the federal
government to break the hard coal trust

OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1912.
litter resident streets and makes a mess
for the street cleaners. Let householders
ceaso this and their will thereby contrib
ute to the relief of dirty streets.
I believe in the city nauling all rub
bish and refuse free to the property
owner or tenant This would hava a
great effect in abating this nuisance of
throwing matter into streets and alleys
and vacant lota, which people do to avoid
paying for having it hauled away. The
organic matter decays and causes germs
which breed disease or unhealthful con
ditions. It Is On of the worse nuisances
with which we have to contend, and I
; feet certain that the city would be far
ahead to, , insUtute Its own system of
hauling this matter free to the people.
The city should do its street "sprinkling
and pay for It out of the general taxes,
or create sprinkling districts and assess
abutting property special benefit taxes
for It By this method we would get
continuous sprinkling done and doubtless
for the least possible expense. . I wish
the taxpayers would give some attention
to . this matter, for It deserves their
thoughtful consideration.' We suffer as
is Is from the lack of sprinkled streets.
There is no good reason for this. ,
Weeds must be more generally looked
after. We shall not feel like tolerating
neglect of thero. Property owners should
be held responsible and they should re-
, celve no other notice than that contained
in the newspapers that their weeds must
be cut. , I would make a failure to com
ply with such an order within four days
an offense giving the city the power to
cut the weeds and levy the tax against
the property for the work.

the act to regulate commerce, prohibiting
railroads from transporting coai irom
mines owned by them. i . f
The supreme court of the United States
affirmed the constitutionality of this law,
but practically nullified it and gave the
hard coal trust a new lease of life by
ruling that a railroad company had no
"legal Interest" in a coal mine held In
the name of another company, even If
the railroad company held every share
of the stock of the coal company.
Last week a resolution Was offered tn
congress for another Investigation by the
Department of Commerce and Labor ot
the hard coal trust The Merchants' asso
ciation of New York has Just started such
an investigation, and others are proposed
In Numerous citiea.
What's the use? All the facts as to the
formation and operation of the hard coal
trust are in the files of the Interstate
Commerce commission and the Depart
ment of Justice.
The chief profit of the railroads-and
consequently the biggest share of the
robbery of the public is derived from
the freight rates fixed on hard coal. If
the Interstate Commerce commission has
not the power to order freight rates on
coal reduced to a reasonable basis it can
take steps which will lead to the issuance
of such an order by the supreme court
The unreasonableness ' of the present
rata la abundantly demonstrated by
comparing them with the rates ot the
same railroads for other classes or iraiuc.
If the hard coal trust cannot be broken
u can be curbed and If there Is any
trust In the world which needs curbing'
it is the hard coal trust.

MISS JUNE. - ;
, Baltimore Sun.
With cobweb stockings and a kilt of gos
samer she goes, . .. .
As rich as ny Vanderbilt Miss June,
the Lady Rose. r
I follow in my dreams her way .
Down through the golden land.
By cloud-capped hill and rolling bay
And the sea's singing strand.
If peaches are not ripe they are on her
cheeks of bloom.
This lady of the vales that swim in
foam of faith perfume.
She beckons through the summer
dream,
At least it seems so sweet.
And howI follow, gleam by gleam,
Tho dancing of her feet! .
A strawberry in 'her mouth the while, a
cherry after bit,
And, oh, what Lady of the Smile, what
merry maid of wit! '
An odor of the old romance
Of homesteads near the vine
Clings to the garments of her trance
Like the bouquet of wine.
Dear lady of the effluent spell- of sum
mer dew and mist,
Ever a living memory mine since once
thy lips I klst. s a
Tasting through summer of old dream
Thv flavor and thy tang, -.
Oh, "for the singing once again
That June and childhood sang:
