Quite a difference between Easter In Omaha this year and last year. The Bee is for Bale every day In tho year at tho regular price per copy. Dr. Wiley shows by his aversion for plo that he Is no good democrat. Giving us grand opera and the opening of the base ball season In one week Is piling It on pretty thick. Tho thooBophlat'who says tho "dead are very much alive," must have some inside knowledgo of American politics. Why should tho city's Illuminated arch of welcome be used to advertise private enter prises at public expense? Dr. Mary Walker takes an undue advantage cf tho dead In telling at this lato date that former President Chester A. Arthur proposed to her twice. An ezchango observes that tho "Aurora boroalls Is a mystery still misunderstood," And yet Jlmhamlewlu seems like a vory frank, open minded chap. 'I have a new guillotine and it works fine,'" tays the bloody-handed murderer commanding tho Moxlcon rebels. Nothing doing only "watchful waiting!" Tho best sign of real headway to republican reunion is the actlvo interest of oiir democratic friends In everything happening on tho repub lican stdo of tho fence. The election of Ambassador Pago to bo vlcj president of tho London Sphinx club completely destroys the old Illusion that the Englishman, haii no sense of humor. A gentleman playing the rolo of defendant In a breach of promlso oult doclares that "those kisses wore simply Illusions." No doubt of It They are all dreams, exquisite dreams. It should bo understood that tho dry order in tho navy affects only tho officers. Tho com mon sailors have all along had to wait for shora leave for a chance to wet their whistles. A litUo present of $25,000,000 from Uncle Sam would doubtless come In mighty handy to our Colombian neighbors right now when tho bJJla for spring millinery and wearing apparel are arriving. , , Much ado is made about a contested will case now finally adjudicated attor fifteen years In tho courts with the result that the lawyers take the whole estate. What's unusual about that except the length of tlmo consumod In doing the job? Tha Illinois Christian Endeavor society haa invited Secretary Josephus Daniels to tako up his residence in that state, promising him hla choice of either the governorship or tho mayor alty of Chicago if he will. Just how tho rest of tho voters feel about it, wo know not. If a man suing a saloonkeeper cannot count on a square deal in the Omaha courts, how can tho saloonkeeper expect a square deal when ho U ttod in a distant dry county? But then, per haps the theory of our law is that the saloon keeper Is not entitled to a square deal. rouintMo moM ace rt.ej Thla Easter Sunday found fitting celebration in tha churches. At 8t Phllomena'a Bishop O'Connor celebrated high mass with the amUtance of Fathvr Madden aa deacon. Father Connor subdeaeon and Father Kelly in waiting. A special musical service .under direction of O. F. Wayer was supplemented by Hoftraan'siorchestra. At Trinity. Dean MllUpaugh officiated with a musical program arranged by Prof. Duller The B. It M. has put in a new time card effective today by which the fast mall train will be run through to th Missouri rtver. Up to this time it has run tn Ottawa only. II. a BipUh & Co. have begun publication or a farm paper known as -Rural Nebraska," especially de signed for farmers, stock breeders, dairymen and nurserymen. Th Easter concert of tha Saratoga Union Sunday school was postponed a week owing to the tncleraeney of tha weather and the Impassable roads. J. Vf. Carpenter, one pf the founders of the Her ald, received a ttlegrani from Colorado Springs an( nounclr.g the sudden death of his aon, William P. Carpenter, who had grown up hare. For the Emmet Monument association ball the arrangements committee consists of Michael Lee, p, I Hughes. P J. TIghe, P J. Barrett, Bernard Mc Caffrey and Edward qulnn. The Toll Question Ramifying. The Wilson administration seems to have gone tho limit In pacifying Colombia in the new treaty which provides for freo pnssago of, tho Colombian war craft through the Panama canal, In addition to an Indemnity of 125,000,000. By this concession, however, it raises a new ques tion of our right under the Hay-Pauncefoto treaty to make any discrimination In view of the literal construction placed on that instru ment by the president when urging ropoal of the toll exemption clause of the Panama act. 1 Tho roference recalls European reports that several of the governments across tho wator aro preparing to give subsidies to cover the tolls paid by their ships passing through the Panama canal. This is what many of them have donu nil along for tho Suez canal, which, as Tho Be has previously pointed out, operates under pre cisely tho same toll clause as govorns the Pan ama. If theso .subsidies are received by tho forolgn vessols, then American ships will be about the only ones paying tolls without reim bursement for uso of this canal, built, owned and operated by tho United States government. President Wilson, bo It remembered, basod bis original appeal for a back-up on toll ex emption on tho wish to court the favor and good will of other nations, so that, after all, tho wholo question scorns to be, oven with him, moro a matter of expediency than of principle. Raiding the 3onng Herdi. Ono of the an6mal!oe of our present eco nomic Inequalities Is that with veal retailing at 40 cents a pound, tho consumer continues to ask why meat prices aro so high, Thero Is little hopo of relief In this direction so long as the Insistent demand for veal keeps up. It will boar frequent repeating that it Is Impossible to raid tho herds of young stock to meet the market demand and Increase the supply of fin ished product at tho samo time. We cannot eat our cake and havo It at once. The consumer, who invariably demands his veal is one of tho chief factors responsible for the presont situa tion, and only the unthinking will attempt to evade such responsibility by charging it up en tirely to tho butcher or even the packer. While thore may bo so mo room for complaint against tho latter, the bulk of It belongs with thoso who make it Incumbent on tho marketer to supply his patrons with the growing, unfinished cattle. When wo consider this In connection with tho brcaklng-up of the great ranges over tho west Into homesteads of 1C0, 320 or 640 acre tracts in tho last docado or so and certain other restrictions placed upon the livestock business, we can more readily locate the responsibility for prevailing meat prices. It was natural that In tho courso of events these great cattlo ranges would bo cut up, for tho populating of tho country had to go on and eventually tho re adjustment will come. Individual farmers and ranchers will do moro cattlo-ralsing, but suffi cient time for this has not yet elapsed. Lind's Much-Needed Rest. John Lind, the president says, comes home for a "much-needed rest." Evidently the bur den of "watchful watting" on tho doorstep of tho Mexican government haa exhausted him. His nerves aro distracted, his spirit distraught, his voleq husky from the' tedium of silence and inactivity. Secretary Bryan, undoubtedly, was first to appreciate Mr. Lind's need of relief. Doubtless he roachod his conclusion by Imagin ing hlmsolf in Mr. Lind's place. Lot anyone who can imagine William Jennings Bryan sit ting on a lid as John Lind did for months with nothing to do but keep his lips sealed. While, of course, it Is not as grave In the caso of Mr, Lind as it would bo In that of Mr. Bryan, It is serious enough to suggest tho need and deslro of a change. Not oven Mr. Bryan's most rabid political opponent, wo take It, could bo so ruthless in hla vengeance as to wish such a species of torture for Mr. Bryan. It Is a question if a great many others aro not beginning to feel the rub and chafe of thla yoke of "watchful waiting," that has galled Lind Into withdrawing from bis anomalous watch tower Job at Vera Crus. He must havo wondered a good while ago, In hla stem, prac tlcal way, Just why ho continued to hold the fort. Going Back on tho Initiative. . When Nebraska engrafted the Initiative and referendum on its constitution many people wore led to belteve the goal of popular govern ment had at last been completely gained; that with the initiative and roferondum the peoplo Mere in position to got any law they wanted or to block any legislation they did not want; and moro than that, to change the constitution, Itself, at will; that along with the lnltlatlva came the key to all other reforms by a process speedy, etfoctive and Inexpensive. But now wo havo a campaign, Inaugurated by tho Popular Government Jeague, made up of sponsors of the direct legislation idea, to per suade or compel the next Nebraska legislature to call a constitutional convention, The initia tive method of amending the constitution is pro nounced Inadequate, expensive and cumbersome, and promiscuous amending unsatisfactory as calculated to make the constitution lack coher ence. Nothing but a wholly new state constitu tion made by an old-fashioned convention with delegated powers, we are told, will fill the bill. Our own opinion Is that a constitutional con vention is, aa a matter of fact, the slower, moro cumbersome and more expensive way to amend ttie constitution, and its success moro hazardous. A constitutional convention necessitates not less than threo elections, one to pass upon the ques tion whether It shall be raited, a second to choose the members of the convention, and a third to ratify or reject Its work, whereas amendment by initiative calls for only a petition and one election. It took two attempts to se cure tho present constitution or Nebraska, the first draft having been voted down, and oasum iug general agreement upon what would bring it up to date, it would naturally be more diffi cult to securo acceptance of a complete constitu tion than of specific changes that would not concentrate the opposition to each upon all, Possibly a constitutional convention is what Nebraska most needs, but a full discussion of ' both sides is desirable before wo conclude, with out even trying it, that the open door of the In itiative Is a delusion and a disappointment. A St. Louis union depot usher has Just re tired on money saved from tips in ten years. And the public pays the freight, while the em ployer, who should meet his own wage bills, soaks the public a little more tn the bargain. fio Degree In Ilrnren, OMAHA, April U.-To the Editor of The Bee; Why don't some people econo mise? They say everything Is so high they do not aeo how they can keep help or pay their expenses. I realize things are high; rents aro high, and so Is everything else. A per son could hardly realise what It costs to run a boarding house. I know one board. In house that let some of their board ers get behind with their board, and what I would call a "star" boarder may use a phone to the limit of thlrty-flve or forty minutes, yet they say they don't sen how they can get along, and that they must economize to save a lit tle Alt well and good, but if they would economize on buying dresses and hata at the rate of 10 to $25, they might be able to save a little. It we working ptopln tried to keep up with the fash lens, we never would have anything. Will tho cost of living be any cheaper If our next president Is a republican? If the United States continues to havo goods shipped In from tho old countries, whero they manufacture them and put them up at a price that a common laboring man cannot reach, I do not see what will be come of the poorer classes. A poor man should share In the world's goods as welt as the rich man. In heaven there will be no degrees, and, we are all working for the same place. O. D. Jamil Ins on Normal Hoard. OMAHA, April 12,-To the Editor of The Bee: If I may have a little space I desire to .express my views In regard to the State Normal board. It Is scheduled to meet In Lincoln this week, and If tha one member of the "quartet" Is not too much occupied in defending himself be fore tha governor on charges of graft some entirely new stunts may be pulled off. The 'public Is not much surprised any more at anything this board does. Most of the board's unexpected moves are said to originate with Majors, but they are advanced by A. U Cavlncss, who is Majors' understudy. Cavlncss poses as a school man and la said to havo an itching to become president of one of the schools. He rarely consults tho presidents of the schools or their faculties, yet he seldom permits a meet ing to pass without springing some new scheme affecting tho organization and work of the normals. If he does not suc ceed In destroying the efficiency of tho schools and thereby make It seem neces sary to have a great school man 'like himself at the head of one of them, it Wilt be because the rest of the board wake up from their slumber and see what ha Is doing. The general tendency of the board to play horse all the tlmo keeps the facul ties In a turmoil. Tho teaching force of the normals would not be surprised any day to read of a secret session in which a president or two and several teachers had been fired. Of course under such conditions It is Impossible for teachers to do their best work. The four normal schools cost the tax payers of the state nearly $500,000 a year, and their work should not be handi capped by a bunch of cheap politicians who hold secret sessions and Inaugurate moves, not for the good of tho schools, as they say, but to gratify some grudgo. or to pay soma, political dtbt, or to ad vance their own selfish. Interests, If tha governor cannot break Up the game of this "quartet" then the legisla ture should let Its first act bo to abolish the normal board. While there have been but a few meetings of the board during tha last year tha expense accounts of nearly all the members are high. Nu merous items for hotel bills and travel ing expenses are listed at times when thero was no meeting of the board. Tho statutes clearly provide that rpember shall haVe their actual expenses at board meetings only. There ta not a member of the board except the state treaaurer who haa not drawn expense money to which he was not entitled by law. Any way we look at the matter, the normal board Is a useless and expensive luxury- D. B. JOHNSON. The ranania Toll Qnestlon. OMAHA. April 10. To tho Editor of Tha Bee: In reading the arguments fa voring the repeal of freo tolls through the Panama canal to American coastwise, shippers I am surprised at the ignorance Of American history displayed by Its ad vocate. Is R not a hlstorlo truth that Immediately after the Spanish-American war the United States decided to con etruct a, canal across Nicaragua, aa a government undertaking? Did not con grass proceed with the necessary legis lation and our president obtain the con cessions In Nicaragua? Was It not then that the Hay-Paunoafota treaty waa en tered into? But later congress decided to abandon the Nicaragua route, bought out th old French Panama company and secured rights from the new Republic of Panama, and constructed the present canal, at our own expense, on our own territory, and without waiting for tho aid or consent of England or any other nation on earth? Therefore, this canal is subject exclusively to the sovereignty of the United States, and the American congress haa voluntarily provided that It shall be open to tha commerce of the world upon fair and reasonable terms. Snd haa exempted from tolls American coaatwisa trade. If our coastwise ship ping wpuld constitute a monopoly so strong that remission of the tolls would result in no benelit to shippers or the people, the remedy would bo not In re peal, but tn the destruction of the mo nopoly. And If free tolls is a subsidy to coastwisa shippers, then fre tolls through St. Mary's Falls li a subsidy to lake shipping. Think what audacity Oreat Britain has in its effort to have this law repealed, which Involves solely a regulation of do mestic; commerce, and basing its daman:! upon the Hay-Pauncefoto treaty, not withstanding that treaty was made on the understanding that the canal should b built tn territory alien to the United States, and since which time tha United States haa acquired by purchase the right and sovereignty over the territory through which the canal has been constructed. In short, why all this quibbling about toll rates, free or otherwise, throurh the canal? This is not an International ax fair, It is purely a domestic matter, passed on by two of our presidents and approved by our house and senate and ratified by tha votes of lO.CCD.OOO Ameri can citizens. If the advocates of repeal are, under the Impression that the loyal American citizens who voted to sustain our representatives in the passage of thla law, the repeal of which would mean tha national humiliation of this republic, I would ask them If they heard tha recent news from New Jersey, then would hava them alt up aad take notice. ED F. MOKBAHTY. Cultural Effect of Music By Rev. Adolph Hult, Pastor of Swedish Lutheran Immanucl Church The spirit of musical culture Is coming westward! Pioneering days will not laat forever. IJfe'a flnost and richest goods, the arts among them, will find these western plains a fit storehouse. The tilling of the soli may be our chief commercial asset It cannot remain Ufa's supreme task. Tho heart, tho wonderful human heart, haa IU crying needs. It asks for tho amenities of an ennobled home life. It calls to the world unseen and eternal, and waits for the wireless messages from that homeland of the aoul. When Its human aspirations and Ideals waken, kindling the Imagination, It must have art In our era of history, especially the musical art Despair of tho cultural and musical situation in this glorious breeze-swept west? Not a bit of ill Westward moves the empire of Intellect and music. Twenty and more yearn ago I sat In a Massachusetts town hall on the speaker's platform. It was Decoration day. The orator of the occasion was a fancy-free son of Erin, a young attorney. This enthusiast for Moore'a poetry sang of the historical fame and the Intel lectual prowess of the Bay state Raising his voice In shrill cock-a-doodle-doo pitch ho cried out: The west furnishes us pork and grain, and then with an oratorical plunga down to chest tones, And Massachusetts (train! Poor me, lone western, perhaps, In that entire audience of a near-Boston town! Walt, it rumbled within me, wait till the turf Is turned and the barns aro built Then our "western "brain" will come eastward. And not a little d.Id I rejoice to think, of some "seedy" western brains even then conquering tho east with Its world-weary breeding and refine ment, clever with tho caustic wit of much-traveled Jacques. There waa that little red-headed philosopher at Harvard, Joslah Royce, whom I had lately heard In tho lecture room, testing and straining the staid Cambridge Intellects to the limits of eastern capacity, the subtltltlea of his rather pantheistic) thought de manding all that his hearers could possibly furnish. Today, what hosts of western minds dominate eastern culture centers! Do not our western universities prophesy? Theso fresh western Intellects of boys and girls, whose faculties are freo from the premature senility of over-culture and supcr-conventtonallsm, what may we not expect from them aome day, once tha pioneering tolls are over. , Musical culture represents a late stage of art In history. Only these last SCO years, forgetting excep tions like Palestrlna and others, has music come to be a conscious world-art. Music requires a libera tion of the emotional and Imaginative Ufo such as history haa experienced, particularly since the cata clysm of the French revolution and tho Romantic school of thought and art The ono universal lan guage of the world today Is music AU the beautiful Ideals of tho human 'heart In ita rhythmic surglngs find no such adequate human expression as they do in music. What art liberates tho fettered and suffocated Ideals of the human soul as the musical? A great and simple song from the virginal soul of Jenny t4nd, or big-hearted Bchumann-Helnk, emanci pates tho finest and most soulful qualities of mind and life. A great score toned forth by the Chicago orchestra makes the tremendous symphony of total existence a palpitating apprehension of our being. "Apprehension," oh, I wish our English, with its giant dictionaries had that rich word "anlng" of tha Scandinavian languages, same aa tho German "ahnung," uniting, as It docs, into one concrete Idea such words as yearning, apprehension, presentiment and tha intuitive sense of the unseen, of which the heart fervidly wishes to be assured without the cold logical processes. Fbr logical reasoning grows paralyzed before the majestlo richness of life. So far wo heartily agroo with Borgson of Paris. "Ahnung" or. "anlng" reminds of-one of the loveliest statements as to tha mystery of music. It Is by Prof. Watdetnar RUdln of Uppsala university, tho now' nged' theo logian and' pulpit orator. "Music," says this man or rara mentality, "haa an essential portion of Its power precisely In this, that the .tone (the Indefinite fullness) touches tho Infinite world of 'anlng' (eter nity's super-stratum) In man." Does It mean some thing to a community culturally, that tho art with a mission as suggested by Rudln'S statement becomes an Integral factor of a community a lite? Ta the hap piness of a community enriched by an art that. Ilka true music, enlarges Infinitely the eternal side of the Imagination? That makes th,e Inner life sensitive to tha expansive vistas of soul, and even puts on the the harp of the heart the mutlo of the spheres and a. mystlo "Ahnung" of the unfathomable depth of Clod's own being? I do not add this last thought for "devotional purposes," but because mustc has tho divine mission of opening the Imagination In soma degree to apprehend tho infinite God whom only true faith makes kin with and happy In that kinship. Qniaha If I may say It without needless obtru sion has ' lagged In the musical art, and woefully Compare German Milwaukee and Scandinavian Minne apolis. Tha late musical article anent this In "The Musical Courier," gavo our nobly .favored city' a sin ister national advertisement. Yet, fellow citizens, I rtp-at what I have often said to my distinguished musical friend, Mr. Thomas J. Kelly, Omaha's Ideal ist par excellence: It may not ever be thus) Omaha has tenough "pork and grain." Money Is abundant Comparo the limited slum sections of our city with those of other cities, and note our prosperity. The unusual penchant for saving which distinguishes our city elves assurance of a comfortable old age. My wordl we need not develop mora that aids of our ctvio Ufa. Already the Ideal world begins to make Itself felt. Coteries of musical people here recognize, and since long, tho cultural worth and the cultural bliss of music Wo possess one organization, known In all the land by name at least, the Mendelssohn chorus. With thosa blnd-llkn sopranos and that rare poetlo esprit of conception and execution, if this chorus were suddenly placed on the platform of Orchestra Hall. Chicago, the " I will" city of IWnola would marvel at the musical awakening of the west. It seems to me that this chorus furnishes Omaha for the present with lta one tangible rallying center for a musical renaissance. Oh, that our commercial lead era could be possessed of the Ideal of establishing on a ' permanent basla this institution by giving us a beautifully located and worthy music hall plus a fund of maintenance for the chorus! Here and there In the churches thero have from tlma to time been organists and vocalists, who ven erated the best. It Is always pleasant to meet that dependable church musician, with noble regard for the fine English ecclesiastical traditions expanded Into preaenUday magnificence of tonal conception, I mean, Mr. Slmms. With indefatigable faithfulness he haa contributed substantially to the musical educa tion of our city. Touch on supreme church musio ideals, and his rye begins to glitter and grow suf fused with that aomehtlng which betrays the musi cian without guile. Ah. it's useless to try to name them, the many flno musicians who pubUcly and privately have purposed to enrich Omaha with tha culture of the musical art! Unless mention should be made of that daring and doughty promoter of high class concerts, a young woman who Is doing Omaha a cultural service, which tho ruture will see In its true propective clearer than the presents. Miss Evelyn Hopper, a name to b writ large in the musical his tory of our city. What I sold of the Mendelssohn conductor, consumed aa he Is by musical Ideals, needs no elaboration. He Is our pride. Omaha tha musical center of the middle west, the middle from Chicago to the mountains, between the Twin Cities and Kansas City, that Is our day-dream! "Omaha, my Omaha," will one day musically "Rise aloft Starry with Imaginings." People and Events Aa an attraction for womankind the home beats the workshop eighty ways. Only 0 per cent of the females of the country 16 years of age and over are en gaged in gainful occupations. Orestes Zamor, the new president of Haytl chosen by congress, Is a man of affairs, and has had considerable ex perience in public life. Formerly he waa governor of the northern department of tho island and in 1911 held the office of secretary of war. Dr. B. F. Pearson, who built the elec tric light plant which supplies the City of Mexico with light and power. Is an Ameri can, a native of Massachusetts. Ho has made his own way In the world from the ago of 14. when he became a railroad station agent After having worked for one farmer for twenty-five years without being paid any thing and without asking for it, George F. Brown haa entered a suit !n Canton. O., for JJ.OOO hack pay. In his peUtlon he stated that he had not had a pay day for twonty-flve years and that he feared his employer waa trying to cheat him. T. J. Philbrick. who carries mall front the East Alton poetoftlco to tho trains, was working for J12.E0 a month, which he thought waa not enough. Accordingly ho resigned his position, and when new bids were called for offered ono calling for S18. No one else entered a bid and he got tho work at his own price. Walter & Hawley has won tho distinc tion of having tha best hearing in western Massachusetts. While at his home In East Brookfield, he heard the fire alarm In Springfield, thirty-seven mllea away, and was able to count tho number, which waa 671. When In Springfield tho next day he inquired and found that his ears had not deceived him. How big a fool tho law is In spots Is illustrated by the case of a Mrs. Gallo, who is In Jail In Now Tork. Mrs. Gallo failed to appear in court when ordered because sho waa engaged In bringing the sixth little Gallo into tho world, and waa commltod for contempt and actually taken to Jail. The Judge, knowing the circum stances, says he lacks power to cancel tho contempt order without tho consent of the creditor's lawyer and tho latter won't budge without hla bit. THESE GIRLS OF OURS.
