No matter what tho merits or tho outcome of

situation. Americans, though deprecating the
wisdom of all tho Pankhurst performances,
have from the first looked askanco at tho obvi
ously stupid moves of the British government.

Of course, Mrs. Pankhurst and her followers
havo gono beyond all bounds of reason In their
cnisado, have disregarded and violated tho law
and carried on an Intolerable and lndofcnslblo
reign of terror, but England seems at fault at

In Sore Distress.
Tho president of our local bar association,
who seems to fear people may forgot that ho
graces that distinguished position, scorns to be
in'soro distress. Wo fear somothlng terrible Is
likely to happen unless someone comos to his
relief. Ho wont boforo the last grand jury to
complain that "ugly rumors" were rlfo about
crooked work by membors of tho sacrod legal
profession, and Insistently domanded that the
grand jury cite ovory ono and any ono who
might bo supposed to know anything about any
lawyers who had engaged in any attomptod
blackmail, embezzlement, perjury or frame-up
litigation.
To tho groat disappointment of tho im
maculate president of the bar association, tho
grand Jury took him at hla word, went after
what he said thoy should hunt, and found what
they went after. And still he Is not satisfied.
Becauso tho grand jury indicted Bomo of his pals

Investigation to find out why?
By all moans, let us havo another Inquisition
If that Is what Is wantod, Tho moro the merrier,

Mr. Bryan's Friends.
In connection with tho allegation that Co
lombia has put up a pot of $10,000,000 to se
cure ratification of tho treaty carrying a bonus
ot $25,000,000, Interesting sidelights revoal at
least three ot Mr, Bryan's personal and political
cronlos in rather favored positions. Hannls
Taylor, former minister to fepaln, former mem
ber of tho Alaskan boundary commission and an
authority on international law, is Colombia's
counsol at Washington In tho lntorest of this
treaty-bonus deal. This ho admits, but denies
that ho has been promised tho doflnlto sum of
$1,000,000 nn his slice of tho bonanza if ho
lands It Another frlond of Bryan's, Charles
Douglas, 1b employed as attornoy for Nicaragua
in tho ottort to put a $3,000,000 treaty through
thq sonato, and, still anothor, Charles A. Towne,
was rotalncd ly tho Clontlflco loadors of Mexico
City to try to socuro tho selection of one of their
party for provisional prpsldent ot Mexico.
Taylor, Towno and Douglas are all supposed
to bo "closo" to tho secretary of stato. Towne,
it will bo Tecallod, ran as a tall to tho Bryan
klto in ono ot his numorous presidential cam
paigns, having como over with John Llnd and
others from the republican party Into tho ranks

bian treaty strong; in fact, it seems to bo a pet
project of his. Whilo his slncority Is not
brought Into question in this connection, It is
not singular that attontlon should be challenged
by tho fact that so many ot his friends should

Alfalfa.
Ton Nebraska counties Adams. Burt. Dodeo.
Hall. Kearney. Otoe, Polk. Red Willow. Sarnv
and 8aunders havo, according- to the Stato
Board ot Agriculture, lncroasod their combined
acroago of alfalfa by 7 nor cont. or 7.817 acres.
bringing their total up to 116,880 acres. It Is
interesting to noto that according to tho 1910
census, 4 9,0 8 D Nebraska farms were ralninc
alfalfa In 1909 Tho total yield was 1,522,136
tons off of the combined aroa ot 685,282 acres
and tho total value was $10,743,813. SInco that.
ot courso tho prlco of alfalfa has gone up.
Nebraska ranks second among the states of
tho union In the production of this klnsr nf
forage crops, and It Is cutting throe and four
crops a year. As to quality, our stato goes Into
first, instead of second, placo. Now. consider
ing that practically only 50,000 farms In No-
nrasKa are producing alfalfa as compared with
114,000 producing corn and 65.000 wheat, it Is
not hard to figure out that in a short timo we
will rank ahead of. all the states In nuantltv as
well as duality. It takes nn adroit
convince an Intelligent farmer that tbero Is big
monoy In alfalfa In Nebraska Tho next foderal
census, wo dare say, wilt Bhow that this $10,
000,000 annual valuation has been multiplied
several times, for by then wo aro going to havo
a vast amount of new land under cultivation, as
well as lncroasod acreage In alfalfa on farms
already highly tilled.
. A Louisville Judge suspended four prominent
attorneys of that city from practice the other
day becauso of shady methods. Now, If that
Judge were within reach of a certain flambovant
bar association president he would bo duly casti
gated and Impressed with the fact that "all
members of the profession aro without blemish
and honorablo men." Well, this Judge soema to
bo, anyway.

OMAHA, Juno 19.-To tho Editor of Tho
Bee: Reading of the grocers' and butch
ers' picnic day, I am reminded:
About a year and a half ago one of
several legislative committees appointed
for the purpose made report on an In
vestigation held In Omaha, and following
that report the houso of repress ntatlvea
at Lincoln adopted a resolution, setting
forth that an Illegal combine for the
control of the price of foodstuffs exists
In Omaha, and directing the attorney
general of tho stata to begin proceedings
against the combine aforesaid.
Have you any record of the attorney
general ever undertaking to carry out
Instructions thus given him by the legis
lature? A few weeks ago The Bee exposed a
mess of democratlo political corruption
In Council Bluffs, giving .names, dates
and places. Attorney General Cosson of
tho great state ot Iowa took charge of
the affair, and promised immediate In
vestigation and proper prosecution, lie
took charge of the grand Jury, ousting
the dlstrlet attorney of Pottawattamie
county, and now comes forth the In
formation that Attorney General Cosson
was not prosecuting the election bribers,
but was busy securing Indictments against
reputable citizens ot Council Bluffs for
constructive perjury In connection with
tho circulating and signing of saloon
consent petitions under the Iowa mulct
law.
Isn't the moral to the situation very
plain? Or, does It need a diagram?
OLD FOOT.
Wntch Wooate-r Come Hack nt This.
PHILLIPS, Neb., June 19.-To the
Editor of The Boo: Several times of
lato I have been tempted to protest
at the large Indulgence accorded by the
press to one Charles Wooster of Mer
rick county. Ho antagonizes religion,
he ridicules the Bible, he attacks men
like Secretary of State Bryan, ex-Congressman
Stark and R. L. Metcalfe,
citizens who havo brought credit and
renown to Nebraska, and kills a lot of
valuable newspaper spaco with long,
tlrcsomo articles that are animated by
petty motives and can accomplish no
good purpose.
The ruling prlncfplo of Charley
Wooster's Jlfo Is vanity. The chief disj
unction ever accorded him was his ser
vlco In the state legislature. But for
tho organization of stiver democrats In
May, 1894, when W. H. Thompson, Judge
Ong, James B. Kitchen, Judge J. H.
Broady, O. A. Lulkhart and two or three
others, met In conference with this samo
R. L. Metcalfe whom he criticises, were
able to set In motion a movement that
has elected thousands of creditable
men to office and resulted in good
throughout tho whole breadth of state
and nation, Charley Wooster would
never have been heard of outside the
borders of his county.
It Is now proposed to accord the
governorship of Nebraska to the man
who was so greatly Instrumental In se
curing these results,
Charley Wooster saya, "No." But I
would like to hear from all parte of the
slate, through communications and
recorded In the ballots of democratlo
voters, a resounding "Yes." BhoJld we
nominate and elect XL U Metcalfe to
the highest executive office In tho state,
we will, in my Judgment, honor our
selves fully aa much as we honor him.

Scope ( tbe atnnn Act.
OMAHA, June 19.-To the Editor of The
Bee: I note an Hem In The Bee about
a former street ear conductor In Omaha
and & resident of this city sentenced to
two year In the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth for a violation ot the Mann
act for bringing his wife from Sioux City
to Omaha. .
Will you pleaso explain how such a de
cision could possibly be handed down?
To what end aro marriage laws coming?
Do they not mean anything In this dayT
And how In the name of common sense
can the law Imprison a man for moving
from one state 'to another with a woman
who Is his legal wife by the grace of all
tho formalities of thoso high laws which
regulate sexual union?
This particular case Impressed me upon
reading the above clipping, and so-iota
because ot curiosity and desiring Inter
pretation ot such u law aa convlctel this
man I ask that attention bo paid to my
little request
ST. BERNARD BENTON.
Note The law prohibits the transporta
tion of a woman from one state to the
other for Immoral purposes. The fact that
a man exposes his lawful wife to com
mercialized vice Is no defense.
If nothing else will, the weather at least ought

Mexican Bx-rreslilents.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mexico has never worried over what to
do with Its ex-presldents. It packs them
oft to Havana or Paris, where they aro
welcome, for being president of Mexico
enables a thrifty gentleman to accumu
late much opulence for future foreign
spending. Onco in a while a president
gets shot against a stone wall before he
reaches the dock. In either event the
ex.presldent problem does not become one
of the troubles ot our sister republic

Now everybody wants to talk to the

In Other Lands
Cinch of Famous Explorers.
"Drar Old London" Is evidently bracing Itself
for what It expects to be a bally good rough-and-tumble
on the matter of rivers ot doubt between the
two celebrated explorers, A. Henry Savage Landor
ot London and Colonel Theodoro Roosevelt of New
York. Landor, It may be recalled, Is the person who
dared question the taltdlty ot the cotonel'a claims
as to the discovery ot his River ot Doubt, bringing
down upon htm in duo form and consequence, a
few choice expressions of opinion from the Amer
ican map-maker. Now, rumor has It that Landor Is
planning a bolder and systematic attack on the
colonel's claim. Those on this side ot the water
who know the colonel are well prepared to view
with complacency the spirit ot expectation now
manifest In London. Indeed, there is no doubt that
our British friends surmise rightly tn assuming that
somothlng Is going to happen If Explorer Landor
ever attempts to carry out so rash a resolution.
London has even heard, so rumor has It, that
Colonel Roosevelt la thoroughly prepared to "take
the hide" off this man Landor, In the event of an
other attack. "It Is understood here," says a London
report, "that Colonel Roosevelt will not mince words
on Landor next time."
Vlennn's Loan ot $75,000,000.
American cities may be Interested to know some
thing of Vienna's proposition to float loans for mu
nicipal Improvements, particularly a subway, such
as Is contemplated In Chicago and Los Angeles. The
city council of the Austrian capital proposes to ob
tain authority from the legislature of the province
of Lower Austria to borrow 175,000,000 to meet theo
municipal outlays for some years tn the future. It
wnnts t30.000.000 for a Vienna subway. Tho city does
not desire to expend the full $75,000,000 at once, nor
Is it pressed for the money, that Is, the need for the
Improvement la not so urgent as to make Immediate
appropriation necessary. But there Is occasion,
nevertheless, for securing the authority for 'the loan
from the present legislature, and that occasion Is
that the next legislature probably will not be aa favor
ably Inclined t6ward the proposition aa la the present
one. Thla subway adventure la on that should chal
lenge large attention In the United Statea. Vienna
thinks It should appeal very strongly to American
manufacturers of electrical equipment and rolling
stocK and that when the time tor action comes, It
may expect to find our Yankee contractors on the
job with their bids. And yet the apathy of our
manufacturers Is the subject of comment and con
cern on the part of our American consuls, who are
always eager to further the commercial and indus
trial Interests of their own people. They seem to
bolleve that Americans will get left In the race,
either for a, share in tho loans or the construction
business aa & result of their present Indifference,
French and German bankers and business men are
much more alert.
BIr Masters Still Draw.
The late J. P. Morgan may be missed In the
auction sales of old masters, but there aro some pur
chasers still on the ground, as was shown at the
last big sale of the season In the Georges Fetlt
gallery of Paris, when twenty-nine old masters,
forming the collection of Sir Charles Fairfax Mur
ray brought the tidy little bit of pin moneyof $367,136.
The chief work was one of Rembrandt's portraits,
presumably that of his brother, which went for
C3,300 to a Mr. Rahlr.
Spoons Brlnir $10,000.
Speaking ot art sales, twelve Apostle spoons be
longing to Sir Joseph TIchborne of London were
recently sold for $10,000, which may be a matter of
some Interest to those American tourists who have
a habit ot buying a souvenir spoon at each city or
town they visit. Ot course, the same general idea,
that ot a souvenir, actuates the tourist as well as
the connoisseur who patronizes the more elaborate
sliver sales. At this sale Just mentioned another
very Interesting purchase waa ot a pair of Charles II
sliver gilt cups, engraved with the arms of Wil
liam III and Queen Mary and used at their corona
tion banquet. An English gentleman bought them
In at $1,100.
Suicide of SMlo-llle-West.
Not for many moon have the gossip mongers ot
festive Paris enjoyed so salacious a morsel as that
of the news of the suicide of Ernest Henri Jean Bap
tists Sackvllle-West, a sensation which did not be
come public until some days after the tragedy.
When It did get out It simply set Paris agog. For
this Sackvllle-West a name to conjure with on the
other side was the son of the Spanish dahcer, Feplta,
and for four years, an unsuccessful aspirant to the
Sack-villa peerage. Sackville-West's suicide, which
was by shooting, occurred early In the morning ot
June 3, Immediately after tho death of his wife, a
French woman, to whom he was very closely at
tached. Although reduced to the severe straits of
$3 as his sole earthly possession, Ernest Sackvllle-
West was tho son of tho late Lord Sackvllle-West,
and figured himself In one of the most romantic
marriages that ever agitated the easy-going soul of
Britain. His father married the little dancer, Josefa
Duran de Ortega, professionally known In all Euro
pean capitals as "Peplta," In 1S52, In Germany,
where he chanced to meet her. He was then Just
beginning hla diplomatic career, which, It will be re
membered, he completed aa Great Britain's repre
sentative In the United States under rather sensa
tlonal circumstances In US3. Ernest never succeeded
In his repeated attempts at law to establish his right
to the tltlos and estate ot Backvllle-West, for the
courts held tho marriage with the dancer to have
been invalid.

PUCK AKD BUCK.
According to a press dispatch to The
Bee from San Francisco, Judge Frank H.
Dunno of the superior court of that city
said recently before a church society:
"Jmtlo In this country has degenerated
Into a game. The attorney for the de
fense and the district attornoy are tho
players, the defendant the pawn and the
judgo the umpire. If a conviction be
secured and an appeal taken It Is decided
not upon the guilt or Innocence of the
prisoner, but upon whether some rule of
the game has been violated. In other
words, we aro becoming lost In a maze of
technicalities."

And other questions to decide.

Puck favored the proposed regime.
And tor the proposition led;
But Buck, objecting to the scheme.
Looked earnestly at Puck and said:
"If we are wise and good enough
To govern, we don't need the state;
If we are Ignorant and rough,
We then need a protectorate.

You and another and myself
What would a government be worth?

Would you and I the other pay

Be candid now. is that stato true?
Great complications will arise,
If we ourselves the problem grapplet
It Is not true that we'll be wise
As gods by eating of this apple."
Puck chuckled for the briefest season,
With merry twinkle In his eye.
"While that Is true, It stands to reason,'
Ho said, beginning his reply.

Twice Told Tales
Frnatlnar at Sea.
"Seasickness at this season." said Captain Craig,
"is a timely and absorbing topic. Here Is a remark
able Incident bearing on It.
"Once, when I captained a smaller and unsteadler
boat than thla, I took my seat at the captain's table
the evening ot our first day out and was enchanted
to see that, though the weather waa a bit squally,
the table waa full. So I aald:
" 'Ladles and gentlemen. I congratulate you. Here
we are all together, thirty of ua not a vacant place.
Ah, the menu! Let me advise the entire twenty
seven of you to take the clear rather than the thick
soup It is easier to digest. As to drinkables, mineral
water Is best; but a very light, dry claret, used In
moderation, couldn't hurt the weakest one of our
company of twenty-five. Let me repeat that it does,
truly, rejoice my heart. In weather like this, to see
such plucky sailors about roe. Why, on many a trip
my table tn similar conditions wouldn't number a
dozen Instead ot Its present fifteen. Ah. here Is
the fish! If you will choose the light sole Instead ot
the rich turbot. I guarantee that every one of our
octette will sleep the better for it. Aa to the next
course, I recommend the chicken rather than the
pork. Steward, since there are four of ua, bring a
large chicken, fresh grilled. I aay, steward, one mo
mentl Change that order to a half a chicken. That
is quite enough tor two. Or. no a quarter chicken
