Time for lind to Talk.
As tho president's confidential agent in
Mexico, John Lind distinguished hlmaelf for his
sllonco, and yet, If disclosures now being made
aro correct, ho was not a more onlooker.' State
ments purporting to come from "inside" rep
resent Mr. Lind as giving advice and comfort to
Carranza, playing with the constitutionalists.
Indeed, even advising them how to got muni
tions of war in evasion of our embargo. So
imprcssod with Mr. Llnd's friendly advice wero
those in closo touch with Carranza that he was
referred to as their good friend. Very natur
ally, It is now recalled that the president In ad
dressing congress on his plan of appointing Mr.
Lind to this remarkable office Bald:
Ho cannot In the circumstances be the partisan
of either party to tho contest that now distracts
Mexico.
If he wero not' a partisan, It Is unfortunate
that one of the parties to this contest should
have proceeded as If ho wero. Before long Mr.
Lind will havo to shed what light ho may on tho
situation. His appointment was commended at
tho time because ho was regarded as a man of
rare tact and discretion, but If what Is now dis
closed be correct, then some explaining by Mr.
Lind is duo to convince our pcoplo that his mis
sion was not misused. For the beclouded situ
ation Is embarrassing, not only to him, but' to
the president and his administration.
Those Wheat Crops.
Kansas, Nebraska and other middle western
states havo enormous wheat crops this year,
most of thorn bigger than they ever had before.
Tho crop In Kansas has been placed na high as
180,000,000 bushels. The official estimate is
now out, placing tho harvest at 154,000,000
bushels, and oven that is 60,000,000 more than
Kansas over produced. Its banner wheat crop,
provious to this year, was In 1003, when it
throBhod out more than 94,000,000 bushels.
Tho 1911 yield in Nebraska has been run up
on paper as high as 90,000,000 bushels by some
of our evor-vlgtlant estimate experts. Con
servative grain men, however, figure it to run
from 60,000,000 to 70,000,000 bushols which
will exceed the record thus far and make a
mighty handsome wheat harvest for this state.
It must bo remembered, of courso, that Ne
braska has a largor acreage in wheat this year
than it over had, and tho yield per aero is unus
ually good. Tho most reliable grain men feel
.confident they aro not undershooting tho proba
ble mark in placing tho yield at from 60,000,
000 to 70,000,000 bushols.
With such a showing, nothing Is gained
either in Kansas or Nobraska by unwarranted
inflation of, tho figuros. States like ours do not
need' padding; the crops aro bountiful enough
,-and the farms rich enough to stand on actual
merits. But Nebraska has a real need In this
connection which' U ought to meet, and that is
for. a reliable agricultural bureau furnishing
systematic crop reports on which accurate esti
mates may bo based -at all times.
, ... Coburn of Kansas.
Though; his usefulness is unimpaired, F. D.
Coburn has retired "from the position of secre
tary of tho Poard"of 'Agrlculturo of Kansas md
gone into prlvatohffe entirely. Ho lays down
a work ho carrJo!'6j for .twenty years,, does so
only because he is-'tlred and feels the need of
rest. Kansas would !be glad to hold him In the
position for llfo. Kansas once tendered him
what seemed to be'-a life tenure United States
senatorshlp, but Coburn said no, ho preforred
tho agricultural Job,- Coburn could, apparently,
have had anything; Kansas had to give. He
might havo gono ttf Washington and spouted his
head off on tho floor of tho senate without ever
doing half for either Kansas or tho country at
largo that he has ,been able to accomplish as the
agricultural dlrectorof tho state nnd tho west.
Coburn is master of tho science of agricul
ture, a profound student. Ills advice . was
sought from far and' wide. Ho raised. Kansas to
a peerless position 'in many lines of farming.
Ho contributed to tho literature of intensive ag
rlculturo facta of invaluable price. His vWork is
permanent. Ho made of public office; not a

A deed Is recorded voaicpis Jot block 4S, from
tho Xarih JTeAjrtrrian to Frank 'A. iHultmaa for a
Next Time A Municipal Fourth.
It is too late this year for Omaha to do any
thing In the way of a suitable municipal Fourth
of July celebration, but our city should wake up
to the opportunity which such an occasion pre
sents. In addition to substituting a safo and
sane demonstration of patriotism, saving, tile
loss of life, limbs and tho nerve-racking of tho
unvare variety, Omaha could havo a celebration
tl.at would attract visitors from all the sur
rounding country instead of scattering our own
people broadcast to seek recreation, amusement
and outing at other places.
Incidentally, attention may be directed to
tho manner In which Now York City and some
other cities aro signalizing tho Fourth by exten
sive electrical Illumination, with promise of
equal beauty, and greater permanence than the
eld pyrotechnic displays. This is to be done by
special electric lighting, artistically planned, by
which the public buildings are to be outlined In
incandescent lamps of varl-colored hues, and the
squares and public parks transformed into
tparkllr.g fjlry bowers. In this age of elec
tricity tho field for spectacular electrical illumi
nation Is almost limitless and the opening for
originality such that designs could be worked
cut uniquely by any resourceful city.
Recalling what a gala day and night the
Fourth of July was In tho memorable year of
(Mr TrrnsmisslsslppI exposition, it seems a pity
that tho great natal holiday should over be al
lowed to pass In Omaha without a municipal
demonstration.
"Cut out the things that aro harmful," is
Christy MathowBon's advice to the boys. - It 'Is
good advice, whether given by a great pitcher
or a faithful, devoted mother or father at home,
It does not tako a halo of fame to make good
advice worth while.
Aimed at Omaha
force of it Dad Kuraplr,
Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee tells of the re
moval of a teacher on the Omaha High school staff
after fifteen years of service and successful pro
motions without a hesrlng or charges being preferred,
and notwithstanding the protection of a so-called
"permanent list" Tills Is the case where bad example
Is contagious. If the State Normal board can do thoso
things, without recourse, what Is tq prevent a lesser
board of education from doing the same thing?

Kearney Times: An Omaha policeman made a
"pinch" on Friday of a young woman because she
wore ."short hose." And yet they tell us that the
young men of that nictropole have no hesitancy In
rolling their pants to the knees? What's the differ
ence, or, to be more exacting, when Is a leg not a leg.
Hero Commission Please Notice.
Grand Island Independent: One Ed P. Smith, In
vited to address an Omaha Women's club on "The
Interstate Commerce Commission," after discoursing
for some little time on his subject, addressed himself
likewise to the feminism of the day and told the
women that even If they went to the polls behind
Antonio Bcarpelll and Worrls Washawskl nnd In front
of Mary McGwire and Christine BchnlUel, they would
accomplish less than If they ccntcrea their efforts
on their homes and children. What Is the present
address of the Carnegie hero commission? Mr. Smith
escaped unhurt.
The nailed Jade Winces.
Kearney Hub: The galled Jade winces! John O.
Telscr wants the Initiative and referendum on a
proposed Nebraska statute regulating the newspapers.
He proposes to give any person, who feels that he
has been "ridiculed, criticised. Insulted or degarded,
the power to go Into the columns of tho paper so
abusing ' him for an explanation or Justification rf
equal length with the original articles, and to give
him the power to enforce thla right by mandamus In
the district court. There Is an old saying which has a
present application, that "no rogue e'er felt tho halter
draw with good opinion of the law," nnd It Is notice
able that these latter day reformers who aro seeking
to protect the people from the newspapers have
mostly desorved the newspaper lash that has, so
stirred their reform Instincts.

George C. Boldt, the doyen of the hotel-keeping
world, said In New York:
"It Is now tho excellent fashion and this fashlo.i
will be permanent to build hotels with a bath for
every bedroom.
"I remember the time of course I was then very
young when baths were not so necessary. In fact, I
once overheard" a little boy say to his father In a
hotel corridor:
" ' Pa, what are Knights of the Bath?'
" 'Why, Saturday nights, of course,' the father
replied.
"Another time we put a rich old lady from tie
country this, too was ages ago-ln our best room, a
room with a bath.
"The room clerk asked her In the morning now
she had slept. She hid a yawn behind her hand and

The Immortal Declaration,
OMAHA, June 23.-To the Editor of The
Dec: "Old, yet ever new," Is an expres
sion that may well be applied to the De
claration of Independence. I think every
newspaper should publish this grtat pro
duction on' the third of July of every
year, so that every person who can be
Induced to read It may have It before
hlin, It Is not sufficient to sit or stand
In a crowd and hear the declaration road
with an accompaniment of firecrackers
and "peanuts, crackerja'ck, popcorn."
I think there Is no single short writing
thst can serve so well for a textbook of
the principles of government as this one.
It should be read and studied thought
fully by all who are old enbugh. It con
tains about 1,300 words, and fifty-six sig
natures are attached.
BERIAH P. COCHRAN.
Snffrnae nnd Feminism.
NEW YORK, June 2.-To the Editor cf
The Bee: It Is a positive fact that many
leading suffragists In this country, In
New York and abroad, have, during the
last six monthfl, been advocating what
we term, "radical feminism," which
really means the plainer things, Mrs.
Catt calls It. While their language Is
not couched in such plain terms as arc
employed In Mrs. Catt's letter, they cay
and mean exactly the same things. It
Is perfectly true that we have been point
ing out from the platform this seeming
alliance between woman suffrage and ex
treme feminism. Another telling point Is
that, while the suffragists have attempted
to repudiate some of the most daring
writers, Insisting they are not advocates
of suffrage, or perhaps not members of
the suffrage party, the suffrages d-j at
the same time include bookB and articles
by these extremists In their blbltosaphlos
of literature recommend for suffragists
to read, and they even put many aster
isks before sonio of these - radical writ
ings to Indicate that they particularly
merit perusal.

Justice C'onrt Fee 31111s.
OMAHA, June 29. To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: While discussing various
reforms, I believe It would be worth while
to consider some of the abuses of our
Justice of the peace courts. There Is a
growing feeling of dissatisfaction with the
conduct of these courts, which have to a
large extent become the tools of various
collection agencies and other Interests.
Under our present system, a Justice of
the peace draws no salary, but Is paid by
the litigants. The costs In the first In
stance being paid by the party starting
tho suit. And tho right to any fees of
course depends on the starting of a law
suit by someone. The result of this sys
tem 1 that It becomes necessary for
the Justice of the peace to solicit
the business of tho attorneys and
to take care when ho once succeeds In
getting the business not to offend the
party bringing him the most law suits. In
this way there grows up an clement
which enters Into the decision of cases
which tends greatly to subvert the ends
of Justice. Perhaps unconsciously the
Justice is led to favor and In the great
majority of cases decide In favor of the :
party whoso good will means bread and
butter for htm.
In Iowa each Justice Is paid a salary,
and It makes no difference to him whether
he tries any cases or not. But when a
case does come before him, he enters the
trial as an entirely disinterested Judte,
and I am told tho litigants are well sat
isfied with the system.
Such, a system need not" Increase taxa
tion, because the salaries could be paid
by the county treasurer out of the costs
paid by the litigants, or If necessary the
number of ustices could be reduced.
HUqH C. ROBERTSON. ,
The Stltllnnr of Wooster.
TlLDpN, Nob., June 27. To the Editor
of The Bee: Recently a cry went up for
the stifling of Charley Wooster of Mer
rick. It Is asked 'that the' press Btlfle
"Wooster because ho doubts the myths
of'the past and refuses to worship the
present Idols of democracy. Wooster
knows too much. Ho must be muzzled
and made as one llumb. He doubts tho
divine, origin of Woodrow Wilson. W. J.
Bryan and Theodore Roosevelt. He Is an
Iconoclast of tho -Missouri vintage. The
democratic schemes do not awo him nor
their platitudes lure lilm. He has Ideas
of his own, and voices them, though those
Ideas bisect the thoughts of those who
assume to have all the wisdom that has
come to democracy since the days of
Jefferson.
Mr. Wooster, please stand! Do you
know. Mr. Wooster, that It Is a crime
against democracy to think? Do you not
know that the divine right of thinking
In the democratic party was given alone
to Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson,
Woodrow Wilson and W. J. Bryan? The
latter never did much of it. Do you not
know that to believe otherwise than this
letters across your brow the word
"apostate?", Being only on ex-member
of the Nebraska legislature, Mr. Wooster,
you have no think coming, and If one
starts your way shun It as unclean, or
take It and "go way back and sit down."
According to this querulous writer. It
Is necessary not only for Mr. Wooster to
quit thinking, but he must forget. Mr.
Wooster must forget that there was a
plank In the democratic platform favor
ing the exemption of our coastwlso ship
ping from canal tolls. He must forget
that the repeal of that clause means that
the transcontinental railroads will aila
Jl.W per ton freight rates between our
seaboards. Ho must forget that Wood
row Wilson during the campaign urged
that this traffic should not be exempt.
Forget that he said, "Our platform Is not
molasses to catch flies It is the
utterance of earnest, honest men;
gentlemen who vvlk one way and
vote another are going to be retired to
a very quiet private retreat."
You must atso forget, Mr. Wooster, that
plank In the Baltimore platform avoring
one term for presidents, it Is atso neces
sary to forget that Governor Morehead
said that ho would only accept one term.
You must remember, however, the lesson
taught by Mr. Bryan, who so loyally up
held the arms of President McKInley dur
ing the Philippine Insurrection and re
fused aid and comfort to Aguinaldo when
the government was harried by war.
Remember Bryan's loyalty at that time
saved blm from belnc a "sniper."
Mr. Wooster, If it disturbs your reas
ol mind to to rerjlbinx scftnx t lhi
devil, remember that this Is a pure
democracy administration and a repeti
tion of all others. Plutocrat Bryan says
It Is "Idealistic." Dr. Vlls4n. who Is an
authority on psyenomancy, Joys that the
proeent Is "psychological." If you Intend
to keep track of the blunders of this ad
ministration you wilt have the whole
democratic party of the state erazy. Bet
ter find "Lethe's fablea stream," drink
Its waters and sleep until 1917. When
yeu awaken you will find yourself living
under a republican administration.
