Telling Tales Out of School.

Louisiana, democrat, ot courao, and

mate industry," wero written lntq tho
platform "with" especial rcferenco to

It is nlways interesting when

it were, and Senator Ransdell's
statemont certainly bears reflection.

Senator Ransdoll could do no better

A report made on his return homo
from the city planning conference
recently hold in Chicago by a dalo
gate who attended as a representative
for Lincoln embodies some interest
ing recommendations. Horo are a
few ot thorn strjking Us & worthy ot
serious consideration;
1. Tho wasto ot valuable land in
tho occupation and Borvlco of railroad
switching and freight yards. In
theso days of steel and concrete fire
proof construction there Is no reason
for this waste. Let tho track occupy
the surface, and eroct your whole
sale warehouso and factory buildings
above them.
3, Limit the height ot buildings
This would tend to distribute the
business district over a greater area
and equalize rents.1
3, Restrict the construction of flat
dweUlngs, or ot more than one
dwelling on a single lot. Our city is
now admired because it Is a city of
single 'dwelling houses, Let us keep
it so, and thus insure the children
pure air and green fields.

Letters from n Political Henthen11.
SOMEWHERE, June 1. lOlJ-To the
Editor of The Bee; The world often
hears this man or that man dubbed a
leader. Leaders may be divided as a
shepherd dlvldeth his stitep from his
goats Into two distinct classes. The
first really lead by a force ot dominant
and magnetic personality. To this class'
belong Julius Caesar, Saul ot Tarsus,
Mohammed, Martin Luther, Ignatius
Loyala, Oliver Cromwell, Frederick the
Great Napplean Bonaparte. Abraham
Lincoln and Brlgham Young. Each of
these men led to weal or woe a large
part of mankind. The Influence of each
reached beyond his race, his state, bis
climo and his agt; and will extend
through recorded time. To paraphrase
the words of a classic writer, the race
of man will disappear from the earth
before the home of any ono of these will
be erased from the tablet of human
memory. The second class of leaders
have played the role of Aesop's fly on
the axle of the chariot wheel: "What
a great dust I make!" They can best
be described by a dead statesman's par
able, taken from common knowledge and
experience. Mr. Editor, did you ever see
one of theso spotted coach dogs run
ahead of a carriage, stop, sit on hla
haunches at the forking of the road, wait
till the vehicle reached the parting ot
the waya and took one of the branches!
and then run ahead and bark?

leaders belonging to this lass are mired
