Nebraska Development.
I admonish you sot to let this great agricultural
state drift Into the condition of more than halt the
states of the union, where country life has relatively
decoyed, and where the brilliant allurement and the
rich opportunities of town life absorb the human
energy and the material resources that ought to
make the farms ever more productive and country
Ufa mora wholesome, Intelligent and desirable.
Dr. Albert Shaw of the Rovlow of Rovlcws
in his commencement address at the University
ot Nebraska could hardly havo offered us moro
appropriate advice than this. Hero we are In
tho United States exerting every effort to divert
the tide of population from the city to the coun
try. In tho last quarter of a contury we havo
seen that tide and tendency Increase to alarm
ing degrees. Even boys and girls born and
reared on tho farm cannot bo held there. All
sorts of economic Ills exist in consequence. Tho
overweening lust for tho fleshpots of urban life
havo wrought disastrously with tho cost of liv
ing and character of the people both on the
farm and In the town; have complicated tho
problems of both producer and consumer In a
hundred ways. Our economists have racked
their brains, our publicists almost written thorn-
selves out of ideas, If not words, in an attempt
to remedy the evil. State and federal govern
ments, private social and altruistic agencies
have poolod their enorgleo behind the "back to
tho farm" propaganda and still It makes little
headway. But discouraging as is the present, it
Is dazzling with hope as compared with tho
future unless tho courso or ovents Is soon re
versed.
As Dr. Shaw points out, wo In Nebraska
have thus far not seriously fallen Into this way
ward (ondency, not suffered as somo have from
its consequences. That Is all the more reason
why wo should act upon such advice and warn
lng as he gives, remembering that prevention
Is bettor than cure. Ous is, Indeed, pre-eml
nently an agricultural state and should be kept
so and will with the effort and energy of our
peoplo properly dlroctod. Tho state will never
como wholly Into Its own if that Is not done
Let It develop, as it will. Its natural centers of
population with tholr great Industries, but they
aro only by-products, the superstructure, so to
speak, with agrlculturo as the basis and founda
tlon. Magnify, solidify and build up our agri
cultural resources and the rest will normally
take care of Itself.

Grade Crossing Death-Trapi.
How many moro lives are to be sacrificed
loforo grade crossings are adequately pro
lected?
Tho rocont catastrophe In which four auto-
lstfl were Instantly killed li only ono ot many
such grim reminders ot the need of better for
tification. Various theories and explanations
aro advanced to determine the facts and burden
of responsibility, but, aftor all, thero stands tho
grim specter four lives lost in a collision of
an auto and engine. Something more than
meroly tho "human element" on tho part ot
those In tho accldont manifestly Is required to
make that intersection reasonably sate. It Is
provided with an alarm gong, but is tho gong
audible ovor the clanging notso of three trains
passing at nearly tho same time? Thero 1b also
an embankment at this point, obscuring trains
and road vohlcles from each other undor certain
circumstances.
But this Is not tho time or place to thresh
out the details of tho situation. That Is a dan
gerous crossing; it Is one of tho many similar
death-traps In and about the city. Aro those
responsible going to wait for another such
awful tragedy beforo doing all they should to
provent it? The Bee but reiterates a plea It has
been making for many years In urging scientific
protection at these intersections.

Coit of Commission Flan Government.
The census bureau's latest bulletin of finan
cial statistics of American cities offers somo fig
ure for comparison between so-called commission-plan
government and the customary
mayor-and-council cities. The principal argu
ment for tho commission plan wherever It Is
proposed Is oconomy and efficiency. Tho ques
tion is a natural one, therefore, aa to whether
the expectation of economy is, in fact, met.
The census bulletin includes 195 cities of
over 30,000 population, of which alxty-nlne are
undor commission plan. It Is only fair to say,
however, that the sixty-nine commission-plan
cities are, with tew exceptions, cities ot less
than 100,000 population. For tho entire 195
cities the census bureau finds tho average per
capita tax to be $17.34, and tho average net
debt $68.74. As against these figures we have
for Omaha an averago per capita tax ot S16.3G,
and an average per capita debt of $109.23, Of
tho commission-plan cities not moro than threo
or four, mainly cortain California cities, havo a
higher per capita tax than Omaha, and only one.
Atlantic City, a higher per capita debt. It
should, of course, be understood that the big
part of the Omaha debt represents monoy bor
rowed to pay for the water works, although the
purposes for which the debts ot the different
cities have been Incurred do not show In the
figures. Another thing to be remembered Is
that most of the debt, and much ot the tax bur
den, has been accumulated, before the cities
adopted the commission plan.
Summing up, all that can be said Is to re
peat that no particular scheme of municipal gov
ernment has any monopoly on extravagance or
economy.

page:
Omaha taxoarers are. of 'course. In
terested In all sorts ot Improvements that
go to build the city, but they care little
about Improvement clubs built only for
omce seeKers.
Expresses the sentiment nnd the crux
of the policies of tho ten Improvement
clubs, vis., the Southwest Improvement
club, the Omaha View Improvement club,
tho Lincoln Heights Improvement club,
the Northeast Improvement club, the
Lincoln Avenue Improvement club, the
Walnut Hill Improvement club, the Elm
wood Park Improvement club, tho Fifth
Ward Improvement club, the Fontenelle
Improvement club and the Clifton Hill
Improvement club that elected officers of
the Federation of Improvement Clubs of
Douglas county at the city hall last
Thursday evening, and that have and will
maintain In their respective constitutions,
provisions bnrrlng all matters In and be
fore such club of a partisan, personal, or
religious nature, and we believe that our
officers In tho federation will enforce
those provisions.
My experience as president of this club
In years past has demonstrated that tho
very life of an Improvement club depends
upon the elimination of such features as
"the office seekers" from Its midst. Tho
federation as now composed has efficient
officers and will devote Us Interest to
the upbuilding and material prosperity
of Omaha and its surrounding country,
upon which It depends for Its very Ufa
and existence. J. W. MALONE.
Safety First.
OMAHA, June 12. To the Editor of
Tho Bee: Men love danger. I ride In a
baggage car every day at tho rate of
fifty or sixty miles per hour, and It
would suit me better if It was 100. Tho
safety of every pnssongcr on tho train
depends, for one thing, on the intelll
gence of a Greek section hand who can
not read tho book of rules, and may be
sent out to flag tho first train he ever
saw. But the public don't caro and I,
who knows every point of danger on
the road, and have been In wreoks whero
people wore killed, never worry the least
bit about It. Let 'er go! the faster tho
better.
Tho same way with a ship. Do thr
passengers on a liner bother their heads
about the crew, who are a poorly paid
bunch of casual workers who often do
not understand each other's language?
Tct In a storm or collision, these "shock
lng Bailors" must be depended upon to
man the boats and keep the big ship off
tho rocks. But the passengers are busy
throwing rice, emptying bottles, playing
poker and having a good time.
People love danger. It an automobtllst
can cross ahead of a limited etxpress
and "beat the engineer to It" by three
feet or so, ho puts his thumb to his
nore and wiggles his fingers, and the
ladles laugh and wave their handkep
chiefs. I see this trick performed -every
day. As an automobile load were start
ing out from a small station a few oven
Ines ago. the driver snld to me as he
passed the car door: "We aro going to
Herman, nnd we are going to cross every
crossing ahead of your train." And they
did, too; but It was a close shave at one
or two of the crossings.
Part of the Joy of riding Ilea In tho
dangor of getting killed. Few men ever
quit a Job because It was dangerous and
few women over refused a joy-riae De
cause tho driver was drunk, or Inexperi
enced or both.
I said to tho conductor last night:
"Dad, four more killed at a public cross
ing." "What." he said, "is that sot
Well I'll be damned, that's a dozen Or
more this month right In this vicinity."

Remembering how tho Ufa-long republicans

The Nevr French Ministry.
Alexandre Rlhot. the septuagenarian prime min
ister of the latest French ministry, haa been at the
head of several previous ministries. As an old hand
at the helm ot the chip of state he Is fully awars
of the uncertainties of his position and the difficulty
of holding together a working majority of half a
score of man-following party factions. M. Rlhot Is
tho first of three leaders to succeed In forming a
ministry with sufficient support of the new cham
ber of deputies to Insure a start. The chief Issues
at stake aro financial measures and a modification ot
the three-year military service law Insisted upon by
the socialists, but this of Itself would not explain
the failure ot two leaders to form a cabinet. Delay
was due more to the maneuvres of party leaders for
position and power, and the determination ot the so
cialists to secure all the benefits accruing to In
creased membership. There are 391 socialists with
various prefixes In the chamber an ample majority
to put over a socialistic program, but their alms are
as uncertain as the weather. Though the extremists
under M. Jaures have fought the extended military
service bill, and campaigned on that Issue, their gain
will como from some other source. Three-year mili
tary service Is as good as settled In France so long
as Germany presses onward with Increased army
strength.
Alarming; Military Budgets.
Every nation in F.urope Is swelling their budgets
for armies and navies. Great' Britain for the first
tlmo reaches the billion dollar mark In the pending
budget, the greater part of the increase going to
naval defence. Germany's militarists demand more
revenue for a bigger army and a bigger navy.
Franco must havo moro money. Italy haggles about
paying living wages to Its railroad employes because
militarism drains Its resources. Russia contemplates
tho expenditure of tSCO.000,000 on the army and navy
for the current year and of 13,760,000,000 for the next
five years. Army and navy expenditures In Austria
Hungary this year will total $200,000,000. or double
the war budget of seven years ago, In this Instance
the Increase Is out of all proportion to the country's
material progress, and creates greater alarm In the
dual emplro than the swollen budgets of other na
tions, The Austrian war minister took advantage
of the Bosnian annexation and the Balkan wars to
pull off two army mobilizations and burn up na
tional money for war equipment. The pace then set
has been kept up, and no sign of economy Is visible
Meanwhile the groans of the squeezed taxpayers are
everywhere drowned by manufactured war scares,

What Flag: Shnll Ireland Flyr
Tho soul of Flonn MacCumhall and his Fenian
mliltla rising up from bygone centuries finds ex
prcsslon among the Sinn Fclners of today with re
spect to the new flag for home rule Ireland. The Ire
land of the past has had many natonal flags ot
various designs representing various epochs. The
Irish flag ot today with the sunburst on a green
field originated In 1798. when the United Irishmen, to
signify the blending of the north and south, evolves
a national flag of the hue formed by the amalgama
tion of the blue and orange namely, green. The
sunburst on a blue field was the standard of the
MacCumhaU's Fenians, and Is pronounced the favor
ite design for the new flag. "In all probability,"
writes the London correspondent of the New York
Sun, "Ireland will adopt the sunburst upon a blue
ground, the chief reasons being Its antiquity, Its dis
tinctly Irish origin and Its symbolism of Ireland ris
ing to take her proper place among the nations. But
come what may, the ground of the new flag Is going
to be blue. The Sinn Felners are resolved upon that,
and that the flag's material shall not be silk or cot
ton, but good Irish Unen.
Lrjifftic Aicalnst Bribers.
The recent prosecution and conviction ot persons
Implicated In the British army scandal had its be
ginning In the activity of the "Secret Commissions
and Bribery Prevention league." an Incorporated
body organized seven years ago. The leaguo has a
membership of 400, chiefly representatives of Impor
tant firms and corporations doing business with gov
erning bodies. During Its brief career it has pro
cured lMj prosecutions of bribers, and secured a very
high percentage of convictions. The army bribery
cases, which culminated on" May 27 with the sentenc
ing of nine army officers and eight civilians. Is the
most conspecuous service rendered by the league In
behalf of public honesty,
Backset for Snffrasr- Reform
Progressive Germans in Prussia, which means
two-thirds of the German empire, have had their
hopes of suffrago reform dashed by the first public
utterances of tho new minister of the Interior, Herr
Von Loebell, a former political lieutenant of Prlnve
Bulow. In his maiden speech In the Diet, recently,
Herr Von Loeboll said he had no desire whatever to
b8 known as "the Minister ot Suffrage Reform,"
and was enamored of nothing In the world so little
aa of tho prospect of "a democratic parliamentary
paradise In Prussia." So the fight to overthrow tho
arbitrary and archaic three-class voting system,
which, to quote a deceased Liberal statesman,
"makes representative government In Germany a
He." will havo to go on. Many a man thinks it will
never be won till the streets of Berlin have run red
with proletariat gore.

HOW TO FISH.
Strickland GUIllan.
A slaty river riffled with a wind that's
from the south;
A hummock high and dry beside somo
tributary's mouth.
Where' pours the clear, flood-laden tide
Into the larger stream
That Is the time, the place and all to sit
and fish and dream. ...
(I've been so told by fishers old. who
claimed they knew the game.
But they wens liars by the clock, and I
can prove the same.
For tho' the rules they thus lay down
are fine for dreams de luxe.
The fishers luckv as a dog If ho gets
back his hooks.)
An old snag, by the flood dislodged, its
horrent roots In air.
With cornfield wash and foamy drift
caught round It everywhere.
With shadowy depths and cozy nooks
where crafty bass may hide.
And redeye, perch nnd channel cat may
hnn the ruahlnir tide.
(That is the sort of spot I ort to fish In,
I found It.'and1! fished and fished till all
my worms were dead.
And all I got was two craw-dab, a mus
sel and a chub
I'm laying for those wise guys now, and
laying with a club.)
When I am old and past my prime, when
young men would not strike me,
I'll settle by some stream somewhere
with other dotards like me.
And tell the gullible who camp beside
that limpid streak
Just where to fish and how to fish within
that flshless creek.
I'll tell of how 1 used to bow beneath tho
loads I caught. ....
When I was young and full of pep and
when I went and sought
A mess o' fish. But as I tell the others
what to do .
