The Lure of Cheaper Land.
Nebraska's land area excoods
0,000,000 acres. According to tho
910 federal census, nearly 39,000,-
000 acres was "land in farms," of
which more than 24,000,000 acres
was improved farm land and tho
average size of farms was 207 acres.
This gives some Idea of the oppor
tunities for permanent farm home
seekers In Nebraska, whoro nearly
alt tho avallablo farming land Is
rich apd productive.
Now, as to tho argument ad
vanced by Speaker Clark and others
that tho "luro for cheaper land" is
loading good Americans out of tho
states into Canada, it may bo Bald
that Nebraska and sovoral adjacent
western states offer opportunities
far superior to any available In the
Dominion, with Its short growing
season and rigorous climate. As to
the prlcos being within roach of tho
man of small means, the govern
ment's consus shows that land in
Nobraska may be bought as low as
1.0 C an acre and tho rango Is up
ward suitable to almost any cir
cumstances,
Of courso, It will bo asked It such
land is fit for farming. Tho nnswor
Is that tho average prlco ot farming
land in soma other counties is $126
an acre, which moans, of course,
that values range up to several hun
dred dollars an aero for tho choicest
land. Time was whon this land (in
tho older counties of the Btato) also
was bought for a nominal prlco and
under cultivation has been, made so
very valuable In many ascs not
all, to bo euro It is tho samo land
as some of the maiden sou further
west. It Is Idlo to argue that young
men must leavo tho United States
for cheap and oxcellont farming
land with such dominions of natural
wealth 'as Nebraska, with its addi
tional advantages In climate, trans
portation, markots and social facili
ties, lying at their very door.

A Genuine Personal Sacrifioo.
According to press advloes, Presi
dent Wilson has closed down the re
frlgerator plant undor his otfico so
as to dony himself .comfortable ro-
llof from Washington heat, which
members of congress do not enjoy.
This la what we call a gonuine per
sonal sacrifice Any man who has a
chance to eacapo the effects of a
Washington summer and deliberately
forfeits it out ot sympathy for others
not so fortunately situated, makes
a sacrifice that is not open to ques
tion. Of courso, tho president's ac
tion will not mako it easier for tho
senators and representatives and
thero is really uothlng galnod.by It
except as to show his willingness to
suffer, as tho one responsible for
prolonging the extra session.

election commissioner law, those
born in this country need only state
the fact under oath while those born
abroad, answering likewise under
oath, must produco the documentary
evidence of their naturalization.

discrimination when the same penalty
attaches to false answering by one
as to false swearing by the other f
Why should not tho word of a for

Ethic Versa Faith.
OMAHA, June M.-To the Editor of
The Bee: It Is the common practice these
daya of not a few scholars and meta
physicians to discard the doctrine of sal
vation by faith, and substitute an ab-
Iract theory -of ethics which can tmly
be understood by men or superior In
tellects; they must be logicians In order
to comprehend It, and the trouble Is, that
after a disciple has been thoroughly
trained In the agnostic and positive
philosophy, he possesses the ability to
wrangle and dispute about It with his
masters. On the other hand, When these
abstractions are unrolled tor the In-
pectlon of the hurried and practical man.
he will take the whole argument for
granted without a moment's hesitation,
to the utter disgust ot his Instructor,
whose desire la to have him understand
It. Spread out under the gaze of a
trained logician, the principles of this
new philosophy, and he will discover
the same blunders, the same treacherous
analogies, the same delicate and com
plex Improbabilities that he discovered
In the doctrine of the atonement. A
theory of morals, separated from prac
tical conditions, Is harder to understand
than the nebular hypothesis. The hope
of reward may be a selfish hope; the
desire to live, may be a selfish desire;
tho ambition to avoid sleeping In a pau
per's grave may not ba a laudable one,
but these desires and ambitions do ac
tually exist In per cent ot tht human
race, and cannot be expelled by any
process of logic however Irresistible and
unanswerable It may appear to be. Ot
course, Ihe mother's love for the child
Is not bestowed 'through hope or fear,
for mother love Is an Involuntary emo-
.tlon that cannot ordinarily be resisted,
and not a deliberate act of virtue
prompted by tho wll. But when this
mother love Is overpowered by a stronger
passion, as sometimes happens, the
fear of punishment, either her or here,
after, may prevent her from deserting
the child or taking Its life. Our passions
and ambitions often receive a check by
reflecting on future consequences. A
lady who undertakes to turkey trot Jn
a pair of plow shpes will be punished by
being laughed at. B. O. M.

OMAHA, June 2f To the Editor
of The Bee: In your paper today
I read an article under the1 heading,
"Passionate Love fpr Flowers Leads Old
Woman to Steal." Patrolman Thorpe,
the article runs, caught a woman ot 63
years digging geraniums from a yard
not her own and tpok her to Jail. Thero
she kissed the desk sargeant's hand and
Pleaded not to bo locked up, the artlel
relates, but the manly desk sergeant
(who couldn't have been thinking of his
own good mother by contrast with, this
poor woman) "shoved her roughly aside
and she was locked up In the cell room."
Then, unless your reporter in his pardon
able zeal for a good story, has overdrawn
the facts, "for several hours her piteous
cries kept other prisoners awake, but
finally sho became exhausted and fell
asleep on the cement floor." Somebody
beside the flint-hearted desk sergeant
s at fault, if the facts are as stated.
Is It the city of Omaha? Doe It provide
tor or condone' such Inhuman treatment
o.f unfortunate old women nearing their
three-score and twenty, whose offense
against the peace and dignity of trie state
consists In yielding to a "passionate love
for flowers?" Love for flowers Is not
criminal Instinct. If that is the
worst a woman of 6S years does, a great,
wise state In this day of benevolent as
similation and human uplift ought to
be able to devise a correction that would
not subject the poor old woman to Ig
nominy and pain; that would not subject
her to (he cruelty of belnr roughly shoved
aside by a minion of the law with a
mistaken motion of Its function and his
duty and the disgrace of crying herself
to sleep on a cement floor. Must w
revert to medieval days and make of
the law a hydra-headed monster eager
to wreak Its vengeanco on such pitiful
prey as fall under Its clutches? Haven't
we here a matter for official attention?

Little Stories ani Talks About Adrtrtising
(Copyright, 1913, by Harry Scherman)
"I'm Too Smll Yet to Advertise"
Whenever a mercant says that, at once he ought to
sit down and consider how long the "yet" is going to
last. HOW LONG DOES HE WANT TO CONTINUE
TO BE "SMALL,"
For is point of view is as logical as that of the man
who always insisted that he was in the ripest health and
for that reason did not need insurance. But one fine
day he suddenly lost his health, and then he found that
no company would take his risk.
The primary purposo of advertising is to make "small" business
grow larger. Comparatively tew large businesses advertise to In
crease their size.' Thoy generally advertise to maintain their size.
IT IS THE SMALL, BUSINESS THAT NEEDS ADVERTIS
INGS MOST.
It you fael that your business is "too small," advertising is the
nutrition to make it grow. ;
The proper plan to follow the one followed by every
successful advertiser is to appropriate! a fixed percent
age of your gross receipts to advertising, and if you ad
vertise sensibly you will soon see a tangible growth.
The great businesses advertised now did not begin ad
vertising when they grew big. In almost every case, they
began advertising when they were comparatively small.
They arq now harvesting tho results of their advertising.
A representative of THE BEE will call upon request and give
advice -and assistance to Intending advertisers. Phone Tyler 1000.

VACATION SCHOOLS.
The school room seats are empty.
The tuneful pencils still,
The thumb worn books are on the shelves,
And free o'er vale and hall
Oo little brown legs speeding
To many a shining pool
Where blrd-notes wild ring out the call
To Mother Nature schoot.
The old school room Is vacant,
Its clock no longer ticks
Its wlndown stare on emptiness
Where once sat Toms and Dicks
Perplexed o'er many a problem
No longer do they ponder
They're adding notches to the score,
Out In the ball field yonder.
"1
The big school house Is lonesene
Its roof In silence rears
As If to hark for childish tone
Its lofty fancy hears;
But outdoors are many teejon
For bov and g.'rls to read
And In Dame Nature's school trie sky
Is the only roof Jhey need.
Dame Nature's school once held the
boards
In summer without rival
But In her ranks this year wu find
Only th fit survival;
1,'or none are Rtv-n to her charge
Not ono can Join her clause
Kxccpt the boy who digs and delvee
The lucky boy who passes.
