Sovoral thousand attended each evening's concert, but not tho numbers that such a superb triumph In music deserves. The Auditorium should havo been filled at all thrco concorts. Tho charactor of tho music merited that. Wo may well Indulge tho hope, though, that another year may develop larger pride and love resulting In larger Interest. Pride wo say, for tho choir Is a local-Institution and shouia , a normnnnnt nil. OVOktnC lOCBl enthlinlBBm that would overrun tho accommodations of the building. Mr. Kelly, as tho builder and conductor ot Mnnrtnloaohn Choir, deservos all tho praise that la hp hostownd on him. for what ho has hero given Omaha; he deserves far more than he has mrplvpil. It la not moot for us to pass critical judgment on his choir; that has boon done by eminent technical critics, and their verdict Btnndn tho country over. The effect Is to place this choir at tho top of the list of great choral organization. Certainly In conjunction with tho Ercat orchestra front Chicago and tho solo ist' whh took nnrt in these concorts, It fur nishes an occasion of genuine nrt and delight for thoBO who lovo the rarest of music. McReyholds and Light. Th'e extent and character of tho light Mr. Mellon is shedding on the. factory of certain Now Haven transactions must make tho presi dent wonder why his attorney general was so inslBtonf on trying to keep Mr. Mollen off tho witness htand. It scorns that Mr. McRoynolds either has not road or docs nqt agrco with tho "Lot Thoro Bo, Light" chaptor of "Tho New Frodflom' If ho has'nover read It, it might bo commended to him as very interesting reading. That chapter qgnclmles thus; Wherever aPX public business la transacted, wherever patia affcCtlng tho public are laid, or en terprise touching th public welfare, comfort or 'convenience go forward, wherever political programs are formulated or candidates agreed on over that place a voice must speak, with the divine prerogative of a people's will, the words: "Let thoro bo llgh'tl" Surely tho present Is a case In hand. air. Wilson undoubtedly adheres to tho dictum so boldly laid down In his famous book. The at torney general ovldcntly does not. Ho has shown tho same attitude in provlous cases, re sulting In such a way as to Indicate that a most embarrassing blunder would havo been made had not Uio prosecution gone forward. And such is tho forecast in tho Now Haven situation. It Is hard to roconclie the president's well known vlows on theso mattors with those of the head of hia Department of Justice. Many are beginning to wondor if, when the first break In tho cablnot comes, It will not bo in this depart ment.

His confidants aro at hand, though, nnd with ln credlblo alacrity ho gathers up tho stray throads of things and masters the situation.

As soon as he returns from Spain, whero he goos to the wedding of a son, ho will enter upou plans for his most compre hensive American tour. "There aro those who Imagined Colonol Roosevelt would not re-enter active political life," runs tho commont of an exchange. Ab for ourselves, we nover dreamed thoro were any such. Aa long as Roosevelt is Roosevolt ho may never bo expected to do that. Whatover his fu turo, his present Is still occupied by a man of alnioat superhuman energy, unusual powers and groat ambition. In tho wolcomo home accorded by his follow countrymen goes a never-ending anxiety for his next raovetriont. Wheat Almost Perfect' Within less than one month from harvest tlmo, Nebraska wheat, according to oxperts, shows virtually perfect condition. With no radical mishaps in tho weather lino, they Bay wo should come up to the cutting season with the most magnificent crbp wo ha!e had In many yeara. Tho spring has been unusually propi tious and -the grain has had everything In its favor. Only a phenomenon of some sort could now materially affect tho prospects. The soil generally Is in better condition now than, It was .a year ago. True, as some of our pesslmUtically-lnclined friends are prompt to remind us, our excessively dry and hot season of 1913 set In after a May ot some very copious showers, and by autumn the soli was absolutely eriep. Rut It Is generally understood that the ' soil. Is very much bettor off now than it was last May; Jt has far moreeubmolsture to help it out. Should a very dry summer follow, v'lt would not, therefore, be as bad, according to this theory, as last year. ' Rut why cross bridges before wo come to them. Lot us look upon our wheat fields and 6mlle and be content with that. : ..

YORK, Neb., May 19i-To ths Kdltor nf The Bee: While some continue to raise, revise or keep alive the single tax, I wish they would give me some light. If the prtaent law Is so very bad because It lets some escape, will It better matters to exempt half of them, and make the other half pay double? One advocate ot this dream Job naned several ot the big land holders In his county, and said, we. want td make the tax so high that such men cannot afford to .hold It, then the poor man can get It for a home. Thcso men of which he poke wcro rich and out of debt, and It the tax Is fixed so high they cannot pay It, how Is the poor man to buy on time, pay Interest and this high tax with the principal, and yet live on a small part f It? Then, there is Mr. A., who has a lot n which he has a fine mansion, fur- Ishcd accordingly, with Jewelry for per sonal adornment of much value. But Mr. II has a lot with a very modest little cottage, with only barely enough really needed furnishings, with clothes to match, but no Jewelry. Will you make him pay the same tax as Mr A., and call that Just or reform? Then, there Is the vacant lot that Is such a trouble-maker. My friend said, the alue In it waa made by the community, nd It ought to get some ot It back, in taxes. Well don't they get their share? I have In mind a lot In an eastern city that fifty yeara ago was worth P,0, but today Is worth over a tl.OOO.OOO, and as paid taxes all these years on that high valuation. If you count the Interest on the Investment, and tho taxes, and compound It, whero is the owner's big thing that he has not given anything In return for It to the city? Our friends say, give him a dose of single tax; that will fix him. Let us see who It will fix. They tell us It will force them to Improve their lot Well, you are going to exempt his Improvements so he will Just pay taxes on tho lot, and get a big return out ot his Improvements. The lot of which 1 peak Is now to have a SS.OOO.MO building on it. Who would be benefited by single tax in this caso? Why,' the owner, of course, not the city. If not. why not? FRANKLIN TOPE. A Protest Annliist n 3Iovli. OMAHA, May 19.-To tho Editor of The Bee: I want to voice a protest, through our paper, against allowing Institutions like our "Qayety Theatre" to exhibit the grossly misrepresented and exaggerated rot depicted under the titlo of "Breaking tho Vice Trust." Any man who has lived, who Is an ob server and thinker, knows the sources from which brothels recruit their mem bers and the causes which perpetuate this blot on our civilization and that the prac tices claimed by the reformers who un earthed, theso "facts" are not universal and never wilt be unless the solid body of our people become Insane. Such overstatements which Intensify the emotions ot the unthinking public serve no useful end since they do not ap peal to their Judgment so why allow their minds to bo debauched and Inflamed en tirely for the profit of film producers and exhibitors. That men like Dr. Parkhurst, notorious self advertisers and poseur endorse and recommend the afore-mentioned pro ductions to parents; that Mr. Whitman gives evidenco to the "facts" portrayed by allowing his name and picture to be used, proves nothing except the blindness and weakness of men generally,' 1 someone ougni to iniorm me worm who comprise the "Natloijal Board ot Censorship" If such a body exists for the purpose which the title implies and what rules govern them In censoring film pro' ductlons, for the "movie" Is a useful In stitution and has come to stay. Let us help to make it more useful by regulat ing. Its productions and thus strengthening Its power for entertainment and Instruc tion". PAUL BAUER, flenlas nnd the Mniisrs, OMAHA. May 30.-To the Editor of The Bee: Talent or genius Is lightly consid ered so long aa the Individual possessing Is not already known. Nearly every body has read the effect 'this disregard has had upon Individuals ot unequal tem perament. "Bobby" Burns was a vic tim to this, and as a result brought, with his selfish Cvstructlve habits, an end to his career. Jtn Keats waa so affected by the Indifference of his poetry that he died from the effects, though he was a consumptive. Shakespeare, who no doubt was somewhat wealthy, did not fling his genius upon his age, as no doubt he was aware of the Indifference of the people. And so on one can name multitudes who have been possessed of unusual ability In some certain line who have met the same repudiation, and more than ever la this true with men who have workedMn the field of science. But after all these men had passed away, the humanity spirit manifested Itself in noble statues and memorial edition ot boofes. But why genius should so often suf fer Is somewhat simple. Men ot genius are tempered different from the masses. They see, and understand,- and no oppo sltlon can blind, their vision. They are im pelled to do works of art and education aa a result ot knowing that they know things as others do not know them, and the others of different temperament can not fathom theso minds, nor measure their spirits' becauso they, themselves, have not the penetrating intellect to do ao. So much for men of genius. Perhaps genius la a silly .illusion to the reader. Very well. It It is such to him, ha should not worship the dead by erecting statues In their memory, for by such actions he shows himself to be a hypocrite. CLARENCE 8JOBLUM. Nebraska Editors Eradicating Lawn Pest Uncle Sam Puts Oat Remedy for Dandelion. rut Salt on the rtoot. Uncle Barn's Department of Agriculture comes for ward with a remedy for putting out of business the thrifty dandelion and thus remova the yellow streak from lawns which lend nature's touch of beauty to home surroundings. Specialists of the department do not regard spraying with Iron sulphate solution as a good remedy. Although recommended In other quarters their experiments do not seem, to establish It as a practical method. The best way to kill Individual dandelion plants, the department says, la to cut off their tops and put a pinch of salt, about a thimbleful, on tho surface ot each exposed root. This will kill most of them. As salt as generally applied ruins the soli, the salt should be Used sparingly and applied ony to the root tops of tha dandelion. The departmcnt'a specialists say that much effort Is wasted In merely cutting off the dandelion top without applying some poison to the root that re mains. The dandelion has a tap root that grows deep Into the soil and cutting off the plant merely en courages the dandelion to come up In thicker growth. The Time for Action. Tho tlmo to eradicate dandelions Is In the spring before the plant has had time to form seed. The seed sproads rapidly, blown by the wind. The blossoms should be close mown before they have gone to seed, and salt should be applied to each root. A man may be very diligent In caring for his own lawn and yet have seeds blown In from neighboring lawns. This Is of such Importance to thoso desiring fine lawns, that It might be a matter for community action. If the lawn Is very full of this weed, It Is too tedious a process to treat each plant by the Salt method. In this caso two possible methods of eradi cation may bo recommended. The first method Is to thicken the stand of grass to tend to crowd out the dandelion. The grass should be put into a vigorous condition by top dressing with well-rOttcd manure or fertiliser In the fall, and by resecdlng In thin places. Tho second method, advised In extreme Instances, la to start all over again. Plow up the lawn first, or spade It up well, it the area Is small. A generous amount of well-rotted manure should then b- worked In the soil, but not fresh manure, for that Is full of weed seeds ready to germinate. In case manure is not available, commercial fertilizers may be used. Many lawn soils are In need ot lime, and 11 Is often a wise plan to use It. especially If white clover Is to be sown. After plowing the land should bs harrowed or raked frequently to reduce It to a good seed bed oondltloh. This will encourage the early germination of weed seeds with the subsequent ex termination of the seedlings. Thorough cultivation at this period will destroy the dandelion plants, both thoso that come from roots and seeds. After follow ing either of the two plans sketched here, the lawn should be maintained in good condition by careful mowing, rolling and watering. Valor m Truck Crop. The dandelion is not a native American plant, hav- Ing been Introduced from Europe several centuries ago. It was first Introduced In the east and has spread westward with our emigration. The weed Is common all over Europe and has gone Into other lands with settlers from tho older country, always being found near tha communities ot man. Tho dandelion is widely used throughout Europe as a truck crop. Certain foreigners recently arrived In America have continued to use the plant as a veg etable, and Italians In the neighborhood of largo cities have made considerable profit by gathering and taking It to market. Several places around Boston now grow tho dande lion aa a truck crop. Tho seeds are sown In July or August In rows twelve Inches apart, and although the plants are of good size In the fall, they aro not generally gathered for the market until early In the spring. As soon aa the snow 1s ' off tho ground the crops aro gathered and for a time the farmers receive from Jl to $1.25 a bushct for these greens. By May the prices has fallen to about 0 cents a bushel, and then the ground is plowed up to make room for other vegetable's, as the dandelion Is no longer profitable. The name "dandelion" Is said to come from the Frenchi "Dont do Lion." which means tooth of lion and refers to the tooth-shaped edges of tho leaf of the plant. Twice Told Tales Editor O. M.
