So far as thwm meas ure go they are apparently stops In tho right direction, but conflno their provisions for tho moat part to grain elevators whnn, It scorns to us, tV.at is only a part of tho Warehouse proposition. Tho grain elevators havo cvohe.l generally accepted trade customs which would perhaps bo strengthened by being written on the statute boolcs, while warhousoj in which other food products nro stored for legiti mate purposes, or for market man ipulation, havo up to tho present been loft to do about as they pleased with no protection guaranteed to the public.

A shattered army, demoralized soldiery, revolutionary Intrigues and an empty treasury are Irresistible forces driving Turkey to a beggar's attitude In suing for peace. The appeal to the powers two weeks ago having failed, Turkish emis saries were reported asking "our good friend" the czar of Russia to Intercede in behalf of the shattered Ottoman empire. The surrenscr of Adrlnnople, which the Voung, Turks party resisted and thereby gained control of the government. Is now conceded, but tho ministry seeks to "save Its face" by means of an Intermediary. Direct negotiations with the victors, in the circumstance, Is too humiliating to be considered only aa a last resort. 15vl dontly tho Porte must como to It, for the allies have made known their terms, Theso terms are more extensive than the conditions of the trenty rejected by the Turks In Janunry. They Include the ad ditional domands for the surrender of tho peninsula of Qalllpolt and a war Indem nlty of $300,000,000. The demand la a Joker Intended to prevent European holders of Turkish obligations from spreading a pro portlonate share of the Turkish debit over the. territory which the allies will annex. Winter Weather render's military opera tions impossible and affords the 'Turks tlmo for negotiation. Evidently the end Is In sight, for Europe, knowfngftirkeyU' plight, regards the war as finished, UeBees UferlS OS tho plo.

It was agreed that bo foro ovor achieving the Ideal of "bit ter farming, bettor buslnoss nnd bot ter living," tho social factor must bo strengthened, and that the school, as a center of social activity as woll as education, must como In for good deal of attention. Tho tendency in most state3 is to send young girls fresh from gradua tlon, without knowledge or special adaptability, to handle tho: fctUrdy youths on the farm?

Letters from Paris correspondents of American papers confirm the earlier Im pression conveyed by press dispatches of tho great popularity of the now president of France, M, Raymond Poncalre. Tne people are pleased with his stmplo ways, his activities, his energetic Interest In public affairs and tho absence, of the somber aloofness of fornur presidents, Innovations Introduced and customs over thrown whet public admiration for his democracy. President Poncalre has sent word along the H1V0 to omit formal courte sies except on official visits. The re publican guard around the palace has been sent to Its barracks, and with It goes tho soldier vigil at his sleeplng-room door. He goes about Paris Just like a private citizen, visits friends without formality, attends meetings and social functlona( apd enjoys life with the seat of a care-free, healthy gentleman. Paris enjoya tjie change Immensely, and party opponents In the chamber, even the rad ical socialists, show signs of a desire to jump Into tho band wagon of a "live' president. Money to Dcrelop Nebrnakn. OMAHA, March 7. To the Editor of The Beo; I was glad to read your article about loaning money to Kfnkald home steaders. 1 havo Just had called to .ny attention a condition that exists In one locaiiy that will Illustrate how important it Is! for farmers to be able to get money at A reasonable rate of interest so the stale may be developed rapidly. In the locality mentioned u large num ber of men want to borrow money to buy milk cows, and the security seemed so good that I could not understand why they could not get It at their local bank, but Investigation shows that the local bank Is able to place Its money as fol lows; Several farmers finding themselves unable to borrow money aro having sales, selling out preparatory to leaving the country, and tho local bank gets 2 pjr cent for clerking the sale and passing upon the paper; takes tho notes drawing 10 per cent at a discount of C per cent and thereby placing their money nt 17 per ceht of the faco Value of tho nrtes, which 1 really costs them only 03 cents on the dollar, or practically 18 per cnt on their monoy paid out. . Dots anyone think, this, is, going, to buli-1 up.our state? "Not much. , The importance of this matter cannot bo over-estimated. The business men jf Denver are preparing to meet the heeds Ip Colorado, and Omaha should now com? forward and meet the needs in Nebraska. There can bo no aafer loans than tho kind mentioned, and thousands of Ne braska farmers are, anxious to keep thci farms and get Into the dairy business. D. CLEM DEAVEtt. SMILING REMARKS.

To the Editor of The Bee: My attention has been called to a letter signed by Mr, John F. Behm In your Issue of February 7, and how true Is that old sdfylng that a truth can never catch up with a mis statement. Md Behm gives a 'black el'c .to California, after ta ataj here pf on.ly a few days. This short sojourn was dur ing a most unfavorable time of the year audtupplemented with an unprecedented) cold wave of three days that reduced tne temperature-to ten degrees below freezing and caught tho fruit growers unaware. as they were not prepared to combat the calamity; tho consequenco being that Instead of 1,000 carloads of lemons being shipped from this county this year It will be difficult to fjnd fifty carloads. Through climatic conditions and freaks of natuto Nebraska and tho middle west states have In the past sufferod the failure of their staple crops. The cold wave In this section this year being the first on record, wo hope that It will not be re peated In years to come. After tho sun goes down, Iri January nnd February, near the coast, heat Is needed for comfort nnd warm clothing Is necessary, but fuel oil being cheap, jno enrf Keep very comfortable at slight -x pense. As regards building, Mr. Behm must havo looked through dark glasses, as tho city of San Diego has Just commenced to grow. The building permits of 1912 Wero over Jtl.OOO.OOO and the building per mits since January 1, 1913, aro over 1,500.- 000. Buildings of all sizes and kinds are In process of construction and I can ceo no reason for any man to be out -of work unless he Is Incapacitated or lazy, I have traveled all over this country and from my point of vlow San Diego s tha largest and busiest small city In the United States and In five years will havo a resident population of 160,000. Tho San Diego exposition Is unique and being built along different lines of past efforts of like character, and will be the exposition of opportunity, progress and development. Southern'Callfornla has an Ideal climate and by the proper conservation of water the undeveloped areas can support mil lions of people In comfort and even lux ury now eking out an existence In the larger cities of the east and middle west.
