With the advent of gentle springtime, It h up to us to proceed systematically with our clean-up of streets, yards and vacant lots. A year ago wo had tho tornado debris to call forth a con certed effort at such work, to which two days i wore given, with splendid results. Happily, no such disaster provokes our heroism this year, but our civic pride should Inspire us all. While 1 ll n nAn 1.1. . 1 . 1 1 .. . . t.

For them kind words, thanks, colonel. As a letter writer "Uncle Dan" Stephens would bo a much greater success If he know hot ter when to cut it Bhort. And yet tho tax on business must never bo come prohibitive, for tho best interests of wago worker as well as of employer. The Flood of Bills. Tho most striking parts of tho report on re- form of legislative procedure are to be found in 1 tho tables giving the number of bills annually 1 or biennially proposed in the different states, l'or last year in tho forty-olght states the flood ( of bills totaled tho staggorlng aggregato of 55, S7", and adding in tho figures for the p.c- , ceding year, which Involves little duplication be causo most of the states have only biennial scs- j sions, this total becomes 72,188. ( Equally significant Is the oxhlblt going back a Bcrlea of years, indicating that the number of j bills is stoadlly Increasing In nearly every ono of the states. At one time it was supposed, and urged, that tho establishment of a professional bill-drafting agency, such as we havo In our log Islatlvo reference bureau, would check tho out pour of impossible or unnecessary proposals. Tho oxporlonco,. hot only of Nebraska, but of most of tho states as well, scorns to have proved otherwise, if not precisely tho opposite, for tho states which furnish a deportment for bill-drafting ns un aid to tho law-makers show no diminu tion of bills, but, on tho contrary, a continued and often notable Increase. Tho curtailment of tho tlmo limit for introducing bills, accom plished by an amendment to our Nobraska con stitution, was expected to help toward fewer and better measures, but, ob wo all know, tho result was disappointing. The only explanation offered is "tho seeming deslro to regulate all human activity by law a law for each concolvablo idea of merit" which is plausible enough except that too many of the ideas havo no concolvablo morlt. Yot no satisfactory means has been dovison for sifting thorn out and hoading them off boforo thoy en cumber the legislative files. In other words, tho only visible safety valve Is election to our legislatures of law-makers possessing ordinary intelligence and enough common sonso to put on the brakes and kill off tho freak Bchomes and impracticable proposals with which our statute books aro menaced. Tango cafes are now closed at 2 a. 111, along Broadway. Thoy inuBt think those Now York era want to sloep this sweet lite all away. Mary Garden is ordered to cough up J1,33G for sorno clothes alio recently bought. Sho must wear thorn after abo loaves too stage, though. Still, if our city commissioners would confine themsolven to playing tho old-fashioned gamo of checkers thoy might do as well and avoid much grief. Today's styles for women's attire aro pro nounced more sanitary than those of thirty or forty years ago, So wore tho Qardon-of-Eden stylos. In tho obituary of a Chicago banker it is noted that ho bolongod to ovory country club in Cook county. And still ho died at tho youthful age of 60, s Never mind, tho description of the catas tropho in tho rapids ot tho Amazon will bo a thriller when tho colonel reaches that part of his narrative It is gratifying to havo tho assurance ot ProBldcnt Walker of tho School board that what ever retrenchment measures aro to bo taken, tho efficiency ot tho Bchools, with particular rofer enco tq tho welfaro of tho pupils, will control. There's a difference botween using an axb and using a pruning knlfo. Something must have happened Bomowhero, for a vigorous cry of "robbery" agalnBt tho Water board has found Its way into tho columns of a local contemporary that heretofore has steadfastly proclaimed that tho Water board boss could do no wrong. Or did it slip in merely through accidental oversight? In any other country tho situation confront ing us' with referenco to tho supply of radium would Je solved forthwith by slopping on an al most prohibitive export duty. Our federnl con stltution, however, prohibits levying taxes or 1m posing any discrimination upon exports, so that we will havo to work it out some othor way. The Sohool Girl and Dame Fashion. "One of tho most sorlous problems of tho educator to day is tho problem of tho school gjrl tho most loyal dovptoo to tho Ooddcss of Fashion," says tho president of tho Omaha Woman's club, In lino with a thought expressed on nioro than ono occasion by Tho Uee. "How can knowledge bo instilled in tho heads plied high with false tresses? As ono teacher .rcarily sighed, 'If thoy woro more concerned with what wont into their heads than what wont on, wo might hopo to accomplish something.' " But tho problem will novor bo solvod by tho school alone. It calls for' tho Berlous co-oporatlon or tho home. Of courso, it is difficult becauso it is a virtue of swoot femininity to wIbIi to ap pear beautiful and attractive and a virtue we should hato to lose, so there is a' delicate dis tinction botween proper and improper adorn ments at least, many go on that supposition. Clearly this fault is nioro tho mother's than tho girl's; if It woro not, perhaps tho mother wov.ld bo at school and tho girl at homo. If tho distinction referred to is so delicate tho boundary between propriety and impropriety may have to bo determined by lotting tho girl woar whntovor sho wishes up to tho tlmo it be gins to interfere wjth her work in tho school room. Porhnps no girl Is overdressing whoso mind Is not diverted by these artificials from hor schoollug, yot oven then sho may bo sotting a bad example with pernicious offect on her BChool matos. Tho paronts nro, or ought to be, tho beat qualified to pass judgment and correct fol lies and thoy make egregious blunders when over; thoy ignore their duty and attempt to slough It onto tho teacher. V eie Short Sermons nml Church Golue. OMAHA, March 3b. To the Bdltor of Tho Bee. A reader signing "II." says every Sunday would bo "go-to-churoh" Sunday If ministers preached short ser mons. Of course I don't know what ho considers a short sermon, but If ho Is regular church attendant he knows that the average sermon these daya In not nioro than thirty minutes, many not more than twonty. But no one can say that If the sermons wero shorter every Sunday would be a "go-to-church" Sunday. People who go to church with a serious purpoBO aro not 11 f raid to listen to good preaohlng, re gardless of time. Our friend I fear is merely echoing something he hoard a j good long while ago when sermons really j were of great length. He certainly la j away behind time with his wall. It III I become a people of our character and I day to complain of the llttlo time spent once- a week In spiritual devotion, ns compared with tho six big busy days j and nights given to other things. i Isn't It a llttlo strange, though, that ! while mon will put up with tho Grossest sort of Inefficiency In all other spheres of endeavor they demand perfection In tho chut cli, In tho hands of the fame old, erring humans who run tho rest of the world? Perhaps It Is a way of salv ing a troubled conscience. Most men feel that they ought to go to church; know that the church represents what Is best In life; that it appeals to tho best In men, and, of course, It takes a stout lira r tod man or a badly calloused con science to turn away from such a con viction. Ho cannot do so without trying to Justify himself, and that Is why some men offer these pitiful palliations, think ing that a poor excuse Is better than none. It takes more than a preacher to make a church, or oven a Bood sermon, and If tho laity Is In earnest It wilt not stand back and shirk Us part Just because It may be ablo with the microscope of n fault-finding mind to discover a weak point or two In the preacher or his ser mons. BRASS TACKS. Trnlnlnur Our Trnt'.hers. OMAHA, March 23. To tho KdlUr of Tho Bee: "What Is the matter with our daughters, aro they not doing their duty as teachers In our public schools? Are they not proficient to hold the position as public school teachers In Omaha? Do wo havo to go outsldo of Omaha to so licit girls for Instructors In otir own pub llo schools? What Is the matter with our own training school? Is it not cap able to train our own girls from our own high school for our own uso In our own schools? And why should wo havo to go outsldo to solicit girls for our teaching staff at a greater expense to our peoplo? I thought that our school system is ono of the finest In tho land, so ac knowledged by everybody everywhere. Is not tho success of our school system responsive to tho efforts of our school teachers, a great many of whom aro graduates from our own training school? "Why is it that many othor cities main tain such training- schools for tho very purpose wo maintain our training school and wo never hear of any other city trying to abolish their owp institutions In order to patronlto outsiders. Do wo in Omaha posses so llttlo pa triotism and local prldo as to tolerate oven tho mero Intimation of such inten tionsand by whom, by our own mem bers of tho school board? t 1 can hardly believe that such a move Is contemplated by anyone, and particu larly by members of tho board. , I, as taxpayer and father of a teacher graduated from our own training school, most emphatically protest against such a contemplated move, and I am suro that a great many patrons and taxpayers talco tho same position. Our city will not stand for such a move, and the Board of Edu cation should think twice boforo doing anything of tho kind. TAXPAYER.

That Element of Waste, Government exports compute a $300,000,000 waBto in our uunual egg production,' that Is, that 'white our egg crop amounts to $500,000,000 a year it should como up to $700,000,000, on tho basis of tho number of eggs laid. From tho hen houso to tho consumer they figuro $50,000,000 worth of eggs broken and destroyed and $150, 000,000 worth spoiled in poor handling', pre sumably In storago and otherwise. Again, tho heu, being a porverse creaturo, invariably lays more eggs in tho warm months than people con sume and fowor In tho winter, thus arbitrarily Ignoring the fine points in tho ancient law ct supply and demand. At a glance, one perceives an arduous task in solving the egg problem, for It involves tho handling ot two obstreperous factors, tbo per verse hen, who does the laying, and tho boy who totes the eggs from the nest to the house. Ju6t as soon as our exports find a way of persuading Miss Biddy to adjust her production tq tho vary ing shades of consumption demands and the ooy to bo careful and not drop halt a hatful ot eggs on the ground every time ha raakeB a cleaning, Just so booh will we find ourselves woll on the way to a complete simplification of this Irritat ing eltuatlon. But this element of waste is a Berlous factor in all our economic problems, even tbo govern ment, itself, which former Senator Aldrlcb onco Editorial Snapshots Louisville Courier-Journal: Evidently things aro In a bad way abroad.

Bnltlmoro American: A stato's attor ney In Chicago says It Js almost Impos sible to convict a woman ot murder when sho la good looking enpugh or Is able to shed tears and faint sufficiently to exclLo tho sympathy of a Jury. This offsets tho charge against women that in similar canes they would be influenced by handsome- criminals and eloquent lawyers. After all, human nature Is the same, re gardless of sex.

Jim has had pretty much his own way down thero for some years, but we hardly think tho sober, intelligent voters of that district wllj send him to congress. Just think how they would feol If he should mako tho kind of speech In tho capital ot tho nation that ho made when he thought he had been elected governor of Nebraska. He would surely prove a poor advertisement for Nebraska. Better keep him at home. Grand Island Independent: The restaurant men of Omaha want an ordinance that will artificially glvo them a bigger patronage legislation for special In terests, in other words. They want tho 'serving of lunches, oven though paid for and of meals, forbidden in places in which beer and wines aro sold. It could probably easily bo proven that there is comparatively less Intemperato drinking when thoso seeking refresh ment can at the sam tlmo partake of a meal or lunch, than when men have no other privilege than of drinking only, at the bar. In tho larger centers tho most orderly of tho saloons aro those which are at the same time eating places. But that Is frankly not tho point.

Well, It Is admitted at last. If Omaha would lend a helping hand to the country town for better train service, for Instance, on all lines running into Omaha, and interest Itself more In matters pertaining to tho welfare of tho state outsldo of Omaha, that city could soon ftnjoy the friendship of tho whole state.

Once, In delivering on Impromptu eulogy over a dead resident of his town ho said of him: "And, finally, our friend was, above all, a man of great inigosfty and general understanding throughout the neighborhood!" At another time he was making the raco for county Judge. Ho and his opponent were holding a Jpint debate. He thought some of the other man's state ments rather reflected on him and up he Jumped.

"Reverend Sir: As you have announced that you are seeking to enlighten young men, kindly tell me who was Cain's wife." Tho preacher read tho noto carefully, and then, during the breathless silenco which reigned, said: "I lovo young men. especially thoso Inquiring for truth, and should llko to give this young- man a word of advlco.
