Lobbyist Domestics and Imported.
How well naturally discerning
peoplo see far-away dangers whllo
blind to thoso right closo at hand
is illustrated by tho outburst In
dulged by tho Lincoln Star on tho
spur of the president's diatribe
against lobbyists. This Is what it
says.
At each scnslon of the legislature we
see the city haunted by men, and some
times women, who come here for no
other purpose than to Influence legisla
tion In which thoy have no other Interest
than what they can get out of It. They
are the Hessians of legislation. Wo so
them on the streets dally and In the
halls of tho state house. Wo know who
thoy arc, and in a general way what
they aro here for. We can discern tho
effects of their subtle ministrations
through the conduct of legislators. How
ever, although we know they are here
for no good purpose and for no advan
tage of the nrnmwi, we submit to their
being here and with rather unbecoming
docility etand for what we know they
aro doing. We mingle with them ns our
fellows in social life, Just as If wo did
not know of their desplcablo colling.
Now, as a matter ot fact, wher
oror tliero Is molasses In summer
time thpro are likely to be flics, and
wherovor legislation Is being com
pounded, or tho contents of pork
barrels distributed, It is pretty sure
to attract spokesmen for special In
terests, appropriation grabbors and
pio biters'. ' '
But don't let our Lincoln friends
lmaglno for a moment that all this
oily crow consists of outsiders. Tho
only dlfforenco betwoon tho Im
ported and domestic variety of lob
byist Is that tho domestic variety Is
on tho ground doing business nil tho
time, is moro insidious In his opera
tions, and succoods hotter In hiding
his identity. At every state capital
tho profession of wire-pulling, and
lnflucnco selling, is moro numer
ously roproscntod than anywhero
elso, and If tho lobbyists wero' really
put out of business, as they should
bo, tho blow would fall heaviest
right in tho shadow of the stato
house.

Theater Improvement.
Tho widespread demand for purg'

This movement is much too general

spusmodic vagary. Jt rosta upon
and proceeds from tho need for then
trlcal improvement. The fact is aim
ply this, that peoplo aro not trying
to put tho theater out of business,
but they havo recognised Its logltl-
raato right of existence and its pecu
liar sphere ot influence and are try
ing to get it to rccognlzo tho same

mitted, is hero to stay. It is an In
stitution which formorly caroo nearer
fulfilling a eorlous purpose than it
has of lato years. The purposo etlll
needs to bo fulfilled. The standard
of the stage must be elevated to meet
tho purpose. It must no longer bo
imagined that the stage la to servo
whatever mean ends men sordid as
to money and morals care to have
It servo. And, as Is being demon

Bidding for Billy
Hastings Tribune! Billy Sunday has
been offered for six weeks' evan-
gellstlo work In Omaha. Who said salva
tion's free?
Fremont Tribune: Omaha does not
know whether Billy Sunday will come
there next year and battle with the co
horts of sin. It goes without saying he
will make a big stir If he does come. He
never falls to do that. After all the years
of Sunday's spectacular work It appears
to be still debatable whether there Is rn
It a permanent gain. Whether slang
whanging and buffoonery can really pro
mote religious seal and lift men out ot
their ways of wickedness and lndlffcr
enco Is an open question. If hysteria
and emotionalism have & moral value,
then It may be hoped Omaha may suc
ceed In closing a contract with Sunday;
Otherwise It will not miss much.
Kearney Hub: Omaha la In a quan
dary whether to hire Billy Sunday to
ccme there and ev&ngeltie the town.
The Fremont Tribune butts In, but
doesn't help the Omaha people to make
a decision. When In doubt get busy.
Billy Sunday cannot hurt a Christian
and there are a lot of sinners that can
be Jolted with nothing short of a "billy,"
whether It be Sunday or an ordinary
weekday.
Lexington Ploneerr Blily Sunday, the
base ball evangelist, has refused to hold
his carnival show In Omaha because the
churches were not united In their desire
to have him play the game In tho state's
metropolis. Three of the Omaha churches
black-balled his appearance and ho con
cluded to let satan have full swing In
the wicked city.
Loup City Northwestern: Billy Sunday
was offered $21,000 to go to Omaha and
convert that Dahlmanltcd city, but con
sidered It too tough a proposition to
tackle, with alt due regard to tho Big
Bee's Buzzlnz about tho Beauties, Bene
factions and Beneficence of that Be
witching Burg.
York Times: JSllly Sunday seems dis
posed to fight shy of Omaha, notwith
standing the tempting offer made him.
Omaha better ratso tho ante a few pegs
rather than miss out That city has a
population of 124,093, of whom something
like 124,000 are good material for Sunday
work.
Aurora Republican: Billy Sunday has
declined a (21,000 offer for a series of
meetings In Omaha. He evidently figures
that tho town will either be saved or
past saving when the editors get through
with it next Sunday.
Wayne Herald: When the mountain re
fused to como to Mahomet; Mahomet
went to the mountain. Bo, If Evangelist
Billy Sunday persists In refusing to come
to Omaha, why doesn't Omaha go to
BIlIyT The monoy rolsed would be ample
and results would be quite as satisfactory
as though the original plan worked out.
Plattsmouth Journal: That 2t.000 that
Orrtaha has raised to secure Billy Sunday
to come thcVo and pour forth a rehash
of his Sam Jones slush, hud better have
been donated to the tornado sufferers.
This would havo been rooreln koeplng
with the real Christian spirit.
Nebraska City News: The Omaha
churches combined, all but two, and
raised a fund of $21,000 with which to in
duce Billy Sunday to come to that town
and hold u series of meetings. Evidently
Sunday thought Omaha too tough a town
to tackle, as he refused to accept the
offer. This Is a Harder blow on Omaha
than the tornado was. .

People Talked About
Rewarding the Faithful.
Somehow it is pleasant to think ot
Mr. Bryan recommending our. old
friend "Dick" Metcalfe; for a place on
the public pay roll, for It seems to in
dicate that at last the hewers ot wood
and drawers of water aro to be re
warded this aldo of tho pearly gates.
Metcalfe has stood by, patiently most
ot the time, and seen two of his
bosses climb Into office upon political
ladders which he, as one ot the -party
laborers, helped to build. If now at
last be. is to be called from bearing
the heat and burden of tho day into
the cool shads of the pie-counter,
surely even those who labor in other
political fields will share in the sat
Isfactlon that comes with such a re
ward. It la true that at times Met
has chafed under the rub ot the har
nets and permitted his aspirations to
soar toward a governorship or a
eenatorshlp, but tor the most part, It
v ill bo admitted, her has borne his
load uncomplalc&r'ly,
And this prospect it Metcalfe's
would also seem to indicate that the
pio Is holding out remarkably veil.

OMAHA, June 8. To tho Editor of The
Bee: Your paper quotes the Rev. Dr.
Maokay as saying:
If the real truth of the matter could be
known, we surmise that the coming of
"Billy" Sunday was to be a part of the
political prohibition campaign to be waged
in this state more than the conversion of
sinners.
We are In a position to give Dr. Mackay
and all others "the truth of the matter."
In the first place, tho Anti-Saloon league
has had nothing to do with getting
"Billy" Sunday to come to Omaha to
hold a series ot meetings.
In the second place. It Is our under
standing that the Church federation is
back of the movement to get the famous
"Billy" to come. Now the -federation, or
the committee that represents it, could
not havo had In view tho "political pro
hibition campaign o be waged In the
state," for the simple reason that not
one of them knew what the Anti-Saloon
league campaign was going to be, or oven
that there was to be a campaign. On tho
other hand the Anti-Saloon league cam
paign, which Is about to be Inaugurated,
was settled upon Independent and apart
from the coming of Mr. Sunday. The
prospects of his coming has had nothing
whatever to do with the plans of the
league.
The campaign for tho three things the
league Is going to submit to the voters
ot the stato would have been Inaugurated
Just the same If Billy Sunday had never
been heard of. We are very frank, how
ever, to admit that Sunday's coming will
hot do the campaign that the Anti-Saloon
league Js about to Inaugurate any harm.

Cremation "f the Dead.
OMAHA, Juno 2. To tho Editor of Thk
Bee: Often In war times past, when tho
bodies of the dead were piled In high
heaps or strewn th(ckly over tho ground,
It was found necessary, In order to pre
serve tho health of the living, to bum
tho bodies. Why not. In this very en
lightened and unromantlc age, apply tho
same principle to times of peaco?
Cemeteries crowd out suburbs and dot
tho country side. Every graveyard Is a
menace to life. The putrid flow from
these burial grounds finds Its way to
the rivers, Into wells, and pollutes our
water supply. Valuable land Is taken up,
although but temporarily, for graves,
while the denlsens of tho bigger cities
Bwelter in crowded tenements.
In Justice to the living, the grave ought
to go. It ought to bo logtslatcd out ol
oxlstence in favor of cremation, a moro
humane, safe and sane way of disposing
ot the dead. Burial In the earth 1b a
fanaticism and a primeval practice
smacking too ' much of barbarism for
toleration In an enlightened age.
Cremation Is clean. It may not corre
late with certain religious tenots, but
religion has not been always right, al
thought It grows more sane, as the years
pass. At the most tho grave yard Is but
a makeshift, for the aeons mark It pass
ing regularly, and cities rise where the
dead lie buried and forgotten.
Burial Is the most brutal custom ot
which I can conceive. It ought to be an
act punishable under criminal law, and
will be In time, I verily believe.

OMAHA, June 2. To the Editor of The
Bee: Mr. Berton Braley In one of his
recent poems told us what a vacation
means to tho school kids, and accom
panied his verses by a picture showing
tho old swimming hole alive with splash
ing, wiggling, sun-bllstered kids, diving
pushing, splashing mud and chewing the
knots out of their" shirt sleeves. That is
the way a live boy enjoys himself, and
he would rather do that than chop wood
any time. He may have only one sus
pender and his toes may be stubbed to
the bone, but If his stomach Is tilled with
wild cherries and his pockets with angle
worms he Is happy.
Older people need vacations as well as
boys, and one philosopher has said that
a man Is a man only when he plays; but
when men Play In the city they usuallly

vacations on account ot their health, and
the rich require an, annual rest for the
good of their souls. How glad the mer
chant and the clerk will be to lay down
the cash book and ledger and take to the
hills, where they can forget competitors,
bills and accounts, their false advertise
ments and the Insane bargain hunters;
a two weeks' vacation will repair their
damaged brain and strengthen a weak
and squeamish appetite.
"With what unspeakable delight will .the
society matron take her bird cage and
hammock and pitch her camp on the
banks of some cool, clear lake, and for
three or four weeks do nothing but eat,

tape and the unreasonable whims of so
ciety leaders for a while; how refreshing

THE LITTLE CITY FELLEC
National Magazine.
The little elty feller was 'ns pale as he
could be
My mother had him sent out for a week,
so he could see
Tho really, truly country, an' get lots of,
milk an' eggs,
An' put some fat, ma eatd, on his pore
little nrms an' legs; .
An' then she told me he hain't got no
good home like I got,
An' never knew his father an' his
mother, like as not.
At first he sort of dumped around an'
wouldn't play a thing,
An' wouldn't talk or" answer me, but Bet
there In the swing, , .
Until I brought my i rabbits out, an' took
him down to see '
Old Bess, an her new spotted calf that
daddy give to mci . .
I took htm to the crick, an', sayl what
do you think of him?
A-goln' on eleven an ain't never learned
to swim!
An' then we drove the cows home an' we
helped corral the sheep,
An' he was so done up an' tired, he et
and fell asleep ,
Right at the table, an my pa he carried
him to bed, , .
Because he wasn't bigger than a minute,
daddy sold:
Said we must help him get red cheeks
an' muscle, like I got.
An' cut up Ned I'd have, to show him
how, as like as not.
But now I guess there ain't no devilment
that he can't find;
He keeps me goln' some, but I ain't very
far behind. .. . .
Ma says tho two of us ts all a mortal can
endure, . . . , ,
An' Just another week of It would drive
her crazy, sure: .
He's company, an' going home today, as
like as not, . . , .
Or I bet he'd get a tannin , with a
hlck'ry like I got!
