. It Is .nojLa question whethor homes
destroyed by the tornado will bo re
placed; It is simply a question of the
timo required to replace them. As
tho late 13. H. Harriman said when
Rsked after the carthquako if San
Francisco would rebuild as great on
before: "It is not a question of its
rebuilding; San Francisco is as es
sential to tho west coast as New York
Is to' the east, and the only question
about Its rebuilding Is how long It
will Uiko to xoplaco tho city greater
and stronger thant over."
With hearts still sore with nffllc-i
tlon, Omaha people aro oven now im
mersed In the work of rehabilitation.
Tho great majority of thoso who lost
homes aro determined to robulld
them without unnecessary delay.
These homes, so many ofUliem mod
est, formed a vital part of the city
which tho city cannot long do with
out, henco will not And this is not
all loft to scntlmont and heroic
spirit, but Is being facilitated by prac
tical measures carefully laid out by
far-seeing heads.
Omaha ranks high among western
cities In percentage of homo-owners,
especially In wage earners. Theso
people aro riot content tcj do without
their ow"n places, and will not long.
This will all cost groat sacrifice and
much grit and grajce, but will bring
Its own recompense In' time.
A Purely Irfjcal Matter!
Why MoKlsslck. ' a '.Beatrice

In a
purely local Douglas 'county matter is a
mystory-VoiidOIerald. .
Well, this, .is rlich, raro and racy,
Tho only -mtCn 'vhom the 5,000-a-
year hydraulic politician, and his

Polk, and why any mombor .from a
distant rural district "should bo so
greatly interested lna purely local

of a "mystery.'-'. , .
But this situation 'exposes tho in-
oxcusableness of tho lcglplaturo, nlne-
tenths of whose momuers como from
outsldo DouglaB county attempting
at all to handlo for us a purely local
matter, when tho people of Nebraska,
by adopting tho homo- rule amend
ment to the constitution last yoar
expressly empowered Omaha to do
termlno by iteolf how 'It should bo
governed, and how its property
should' bo managed, without bother
ing tho legislature at all. If tho
principle, "Lot tho people rue," Is
applicable anywhere, it Is especially
so In -"a purely local matter" that
concerns only a particular community
in which tho law-makers from tho
rest of tho stato can rightfully have
no Interest except to trust our own

The appeal for a general cleanup

Bhould be hoedod. The soonor wo
get rid of this disheartening debris
the better for all. Let us, therefore,
join hands in removing the litter
from streets, alloys, yards and va
cant lots. Thon the real work of re
building and rehabilitating can pro
coed with greater facility, No one
can look upon theso piles of wreck

the wind or not, wlthbut a feeling of
depression. Not all the clearing
away can be done In a day, perhaps
but a large part of it can, and the
impetus growing out of a splendid
concert of action will tremendously
help to complete this big task.
Fortunately our catastrophe had

while planting trees I suggest Russian
mulberry trees in the suburban and nun!
districts. Last summer I visited a farm
in Thayer county where two acres of
Russian mulberry trccB had been planted
In rows eight feet apart and cultivated.
I found "the farmer's chickens and pigs
feeding themselves on f the berries as
they fell from the trees and was told
that this two acres was the most profit
able acres on the farm. During nearly
six weeks time tho berries kept falling
and they are splendid feed for young
frys and young pigs and this feed comes
on Just at the right time. As tho last
year's feed Is scarce and they ripen bei

BRYAN'S STOVEPIPE. HAT.
Roberts Lane In New York Sun.
Don't you hear the news R-hummlng up
and down the mighty land.
From the prairies ot Nebraska to the fur
Florid Ian and?
Don't you sense the modern wonder
.booming up like Thoric thunder?
Common People, etand from under since
you cannot understand.
For It's William Jennings Bryan In a
halt-what's that?
Yes, it's .William Jennings Bryan In a
stovepipe hat! (
I have seen a plague of places and -observed
a lot of things
In a thirty-year meander 'mong the cab
bages and kings;
I have witnessed cataclysms', been a
party unto schisms,
Known of many mad surprises such as
ardent living brings;
But I never yet imagined such a shock
as that
Namely, William Jennings Bryan In a
stoveplne hat)
Is the mild and meek ' Caucasian now
eternally played out?
Is there, nothing more to. marvel at a"nd
nothing left to doubt?
Have the stars begun to tumble In a
universal Jumble?
Has the sun begun , to rumble, with the
planets In a .rout?
Well. I reckon things are crostwlse, for
it seems like that
Since the-William -Jennings Bryan wears
a stovepipe hatl
If I ever go to heaven, which I own I
hope' to do, -
I shall not lay out a beellne for the
cherublmlc crew;
Nor tor Socrates go looking soon as I
have had my booking.
Nor for Shapespeare, nor for Shelley, nor
for you, dear reader, you.
Nay, I'l mosey round the throne rodm In
the seventh heaven flat
Till I greet the angel Bryan In a stove
pipe hat!
