Wilson's Promise.
In his speech ot ncceptance, Mr.
Wilson said In defining tho wants of
tho country:
We need no revolution: wc need no ex
cited chsngr; we need only a new point
of view ami a new method and spirit of
counsel.
Speaking particularly of tariff re
vision, he said:
It Is obvious that tho changes we make
should be made only at such a rate and
In such a way as will least Interfere with
the normal and healthful course of com
merce and manufacture.
Inasmuch as agriculture and live
tock raising are two of the princi
pal Industries of the country, for tho
present purposes they may bo pre
sumed as coming under the classifi
cation made by the president. If
the changos now proposed become
law, surely they will make It impos
sible for President Wilson to keep
this pro-elcctlon promise to the peo
ple. For Illustration let us turn to
some deductions made by Congress
man Sloan of Nebraska, show
ing what the Wilson-Underwood
schedules will do to staple products
of the west:
Duties Reduced.
Meats, free list 100 per cent

Cattle fifi per cent
HorsM , CO per cent
Raw wool, free list... 100 per cent
Hay M per cent
Wheat SO per cent
Dairy products and eggs....... 0 per cent
Poultry M per cent
No one will deny that tho Ameri
can farmer is a business man. If
the president can squaro free meat,
frco flour, free wool and the other
reductions of from 60 to 66 por cent
with the promise not to Interfere
with tho normal and healthful condi
tions of business, It Is up to him to

Bryan's Mission to California.
So far as preliminaries are con-
corned, tho felicitous correspondence
between the president and Governor
Johnson of California indicates a
satisfactory adjustment ultimately
of the affairs on tho Pacific coast
affecting our Jnpaneso friends. Tho
federal government has approachod
tho problem in tho utmost spirit ot
friendly counsol and Its offices have
been kindly received. Secretary
Bryan's personal mission to Sacra
mento, therefore, should result in a
solution, If not wholly acceptable to
Japan, If, as It appears, California
persists In its determination for
somo kind of legislation denying tho
right of owning land to Japanese,
yet avoiding dlroct offenso by mak
ing the law general rather than spe
cifically aimed at that nation.
Thus tar, not to question Califor
nia's right to apprehensions tho
stato is not ovorrun by alien Japa
nose land 'owners. According to tho
Oakland Tribune, only 12,000 acroa
Is now owned by thorn and only 17,

the, storm whero It did pass through a
portion ot tho residence section was it

Omaha could nk for no better pub

the workers, then go away and do
scribe what they bad seen and heard.
It is hard, Indeed, to turn to our ad
vantage a calamity that costs human
life, but astdo from that Irreparable
loss, our people are cortalnly making
the most of what compensatory re
suits came from tho storm, and this
will be even more appreciable In
months to come.
Of course, it was never to be sue

could be quenched by even this ad

Must Shorten Oar Ballot.
As a result ot an' amendment to
the cpnstltutlon, and legislation
enaoted to make the terms ot elective
officers correspond, the number ot
general elections In Nebraska has
been cut In two,
Eliminating the off-year elections
however, without reducing the num
ber ot places to be filled merely
throws two elections into one, with
the consequent multiplication of of
fices. Simultaneously with this
change from annual to biennial elec
tions, we in Nebraska have been In
creasing rather than decreasing elect
Ive offloes, and adding proposed con
stltutional amendments and direct
legislative measures, so that the bal
lot at our next state election Is sure
to be the longest ever.
Efficacy of the rule of the people
can be nullified by confusion of Is

YORK, Neb., April M.-To the Editor
of The Bee: I wish to ask through your
busy columns when the laws of fact and
logic were changed, for I read in the
World-Herald that the position of the
president was unassailable. Then In the
same paper I found something like this:
"The president says the tariff must
come down, no matter who it .hurts, so
the people can get their living cheaper."
Then a protest goes up from the farmer
and the president alms to put him to
flight by saying that he was not pro
tected anyway; as there was no Importa
tion of his wares, It could not hurt "him
Now, why must It come down In their
line if it does not affect them. And If
this Is so how can It hurt the other fel
low now, or how will It help him to re
move It. That may be democratic logic,
but It should have a label on It, as com
mon people would never tako such a
looking critter for logic. But it Is on a
par with a party that with great acclaim
and much Jesture declares for "Equal
privileges to all, and special privileges
to none." And then put wool on a free
trade basis and give sugar protection,
when the promise was no protection, no
free trade, but tariff for revenuo only.

HUMPHREY, Neb., April 24. To the
Editor of The Bee: Congressman Steph
ens' letter in The Bee a few days ago
to the voters of this district regarding1
method of appointing postmasters, read
very much like a Joke, Insofar as the
town of Humphrey Is concerned. Ho has
let it be known broadcast over the
district that the primary Bhail govern In
his recommendation, yet In a letter to a
personal friend here he says he will.
and. In fact, has recommended a candi
date without regard to the primary or
giving the other applicants an opportunity
O voice their protests.
Ninety per cent of the voters of Hum
phrey are democrats, but It seems that
he thinks that democratic voters are In
capable of choosing their postmaster, nnd
wants the primary system to be used only
h republican communities.
It is rumored that his decision not to
allow a primary was arrived at shortly
after Congressman's Stephens' visit to
Lincoln, during the last session of the
legislature. One of tho applicants for
the Humphrey office Is a member ot tho
legislature and was approached and
solicited to vote for the purchase of tho
Fremont Normal by the state. This ho
refused to do. It was said at the time I
that unless he voted for the bill to buy i
the Normal he would never rccclvo Mr. i
Stephens' endorsement. Whether tho
party spoke with authority or not may j
never be known,' but the Humphrey peo-,
pie are to be denied what they thought
was their right under the oJten repeated
promise of their congressman, as far us
a recommendation of Congressman Steph
ens Is concerned.
Why not bo plain about It. Democrats
will not be allowed to choose their post
masters, but In republican cities tho pri
mary will be allowed, if Congressman
Stephens can gain credit for It regardless
of the rights ot tho people.

New York Sun.
The shining drops of rain come slowly
down
As crystal gems from God's own Jew
eled hand,
And from behind the cloud bank's sliver
crown ,
The sun rays gild with splendor all the
land.
Each blade of grass Is llko a silver
spear,
And far moro fair than pearls wet
sandstones gleam,
While In bright pools of water far and
near
Are mirrored scenes fair as a seraph s
dream.
Now falls the rhythmic patter of the
rain
And free from clouds tho gleaming
sunshine fair.
While blazes all the scintillating plain
And newborn eplendor fills tho earth
and air.
With what a vibrant touch of freshened
life
The tender plants unfold fresh healed
from blight!
While trees and fields with bursting
songs are rife
As all the birds proclaim their new delight.
and invigorates tho scalp, forever stop
ping Itching and tailing hair.
Danderlno Is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine aro to
vegetation. It goes right to tho roots,
Invigorating and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-producing
properties causa tho hair to grow
abundantly long, strong and beautiful.
You can surely havo pretty, soft,
lustrous hair, and lots of It, if you will
JUBt get a 25 cent bottlo of Knowlton's
Danderlno from any drug store or toilet
counter and try It as directed. Adver

This is the season
when a man, spend

day in his office, is
looking for an office
in a cool building.
