tine nay tn reduce the high cost nt
living, which one democratic fiiends
seem to have overlooked altogether,
is in reducing the ta burden instead
of boosting it.
It is given out that President ib
son looks to tlte independent vote to
elect him, which means he knows
very well that hanking on the demo
cratic vote would tind him suffering a
latal shortage.
Mr. Bryan is deeply pained that Mr.
Hughes should criticise the adminis
tration because of any of its acts, for
getting that he himself resigned he- j
cause he couldn't go along with the
president's policies.
As usual, prospects are line tnt !
Omaha's streets to lie all torn up
lust at the time wc entertain the big
crowd of out-of-town visitors here
for the Ak-Sar-Ileu festivities unless
those dilatory contractors are speed
ed up right away.
Because the liritish government is
soaking its subjects with war taxes
we should repudiate part of the debts
wc owe to Holland investors who
have loaned us their money. That's
a fine argument for our democratic
senator to put up!
The Lincoln Star says that Henry
Richmond "has no more to do with
Keith Neville's campaign than the
Ahkoond of Swat." Now we object!
It is an undeserved indignity to Mr.
Richmond to mis him up with such
an unfamiliar brand.
Lincoln people enjoy the benefits
of the only public -ownership dairy
supplying householders that we know
ot in this neck-o'-woods, only the
dairy is owned by the state and run in
connection with the University of
Nebraska School of Agriculture. In
cidentally, the state farm is delivering
its extra quality milk produced by
prize-winning cows to Lincohi people
at 10 cents a quart, which price has
not been changed for many moons.
Treatment of War Prisoners.
Various agencies seeking to allevi
ate the condition of prisoners of war
and aliens interned in enemy coun
tries report fairly satisfactory treat
ment and surroundings. Dr. John
R. Mott. representing the Young j
Men's Christian association, after vis- j
iting a large number of prison camps, ,
vouches for the satisfactory condi- i
tions observed. Reports of similar
character have come through diplo
matic sources. These assurances are
gratifying as far as they go, but they
are necessarily based on surface indi
cations. Only those who have ex
perienced prison life are competent
witnesses. One of the number is the
noted scientist, Max Xordau, who
has been given freedom after eigh
teen months in a French camp for
the "crime" of Teutonic birth. He
is one of thousands interned in en
emy countries for the sole offense of
alien antecedents. Men of the high
est culture, Mr. Nordau states,
"lawyers, physicians, scholars,
churchmen, artists and men of let
ters are classed and treated as crim
inals. They are degraded and
stripped of every trace of liberty,"
denied all human rights, subjected
to jail discipline without cause and
"forced to do coolie labor." All this
and more supports a scathing indict
ment of human brutality which Nor
dau draws against all prison camps.

Catholic College Development.

assnciatinu luruishcs instructive first-hand infnr
m.itinu nn the prngiess of higher education under
Catholic auspices. The activities of the church
in teaching its children in parochial schools, con
stituting the chief bulwark nf its growth, is a mal

vance in cnlle.-tate training is not so well known
and is now pie-cntcd in detail from official
sources.

The authors of the bulletin are justified in ex
pressing gratification over the prngiess made in
ten years, and the assurances nf future advance
ment based on the growth of preparatory semi

colleges.
Protection for Wild Fowl.
An order from the Department nf Agriculture
during the week put a quietus on the movement
to re-establish the wasteful practice of spring
shooting in this part of the country. It favors
Nebraska hunters by changing dates for ihe open
time on waterfowl, so that the season begins and
ends later, thus giving the sportsmen a better
opportunity to take advantage of Might of the
birds from the north to the south. On other
points the order is quite as favorable to the true
sportsman, whose love for the chase is not
tinctured with the impulse of slaughter nor by
the desire for profit. In general, the new order is
in the line of true conservation, and its faithful
observance will have the effect of increasing the
flocks of birds. Along with this order comes
from Washington ihe news that the Canadian
government has ratified the treaty that will unite
its elTorls to those ot the I'nited States in afford
ing protection to migratory birds. This treaty
is now before the senate at Washington, and an
effort is being made to secure its ratification be
fore adjournment. When it goes into force, the
wild bird will be given some measure of security
on both sides of the border, and so have at least
a sporting chance' for his little life, while the
hunter will be protected because he will not he
permitted to destroy what is not his source of
pleasure.
The Lincoln Star has discovered that Kansas
City's boasted park system is due to the gener
osity of public-spirited citizens who have, from
time to time, donated the land in order "to leave
something to tell their posterity that they had
lived and prospered there." and gently hints for
emulation by wealthy Lincoln folks. Not a bad
idea either for Lincoln or for Omaha although,
just now, Omaha stands more in need of some
other things than parks.

Storeyette of the Day.
It was his first campaign, his first political
speech even. Although the county committee had
sent him into a rural district to try out his ora
torical wings, he was encouraged by the warm
welcome of the local committee and the elaborate
preparations for the meeting that were evident on
all sides. There was even a band that played on
the stand in the public square for half an hour be
fore the speech. Finally the great moment ar
rived. The chairman stepped to the platform rail
and addressed the crowd.
"F'ellow citizens," he said, "we have with us
today a young man who is destined to make his
nark in the ranks of our party. He comes to tell
us of the burning issues that confront us, and his
fame as an orator has preceded him. He will now
address vnu. and when he has finished the band
will call ou together again." New nrk l imes.

I said lo the rnse: "Oh Rose: Sweet Rose!
Will vnu thrill to my every sigh,

And you wither and fade and die?"
I said to the rose: "Oh Rose! Sweet Rosel
W ill yon throb with my every breath;
Will you give me the bliss nf a passionate kiss.
Albeit the end is death?"
The while rose lifted her stalely head
And answered me fair and true;
"I am happy ami blest to lie on your breast
For the woman who gave me to you!"
By Senator John M. Thurston.
s,ome ol the parodies on this poem and there
was a huge shower of them are also works of

who reads Ihe following;
I said to my nose: "Oh nose, red nose.
W ill you say to me, honor bright,
What Ihe hidden cause in the matter was
That you came to be such a sight?"
I said to my nose: "Oh nose, red nose.
Von shame me at every turn,
And whene'er I run in the hot old sun,
You blister and blaze and burn."
1 said to my nose: "Oh nose, red nose.
Is there anv relief in reach?
Is there anv old dye that I can buy
That wiil work as a nasal bleach?"
The red nose lifted itself a notch
And answered me "Aber nit;
If you drink less grog and inorei water, hag,
It would whiten me out a bit."
By Bixby in Lincoln Journal.
I said to my lunch: "Oh lunch, late lunehl
Will you lie on my stomach tonight;
Will you nestle there, or rare and tear
In'a huge nightmarish fright?"
I said to my lunch: "Oh lunch, late lunch!
Will you thrill me with aching pain:
Will your fits and jerks bust my stomach
works
So I never can lunch again?"
I said to my lunch: "Oh lunch, late lunch!
Will you throb like a stone-bruised toe:
Will v hi" double me up like a poisoned pup
And lill me with grief and woe?"
And my late lunch gave a dyspeptic hump
And answered me fair and true:

I said to J. M.: "Oh John, dear John.
Whatever impelled you to do it?
Had you known in time the fate of your

You wouldn't have lived to rue it."
I said to J. M.: "Oh John, dear John. j
How sad is the life of a poet;
Did ou think of the woes when you sang to I

Perhaps not, but now you know it."
T said to J. M.: "Oh John, dear John.
Will you ever ao it again:
When you sing to the rose, pray do it in
prose
There'll be no parodies then."
Then J. M. lifted his manly brow,
And said to me fair and true:
"The rhyme of my rose heads the tale of my

Going back now to my former remark about
Thurston's possession of an inborn proclivity for
poetry. I happened not long ago to go over the
files of our old High School Journal in which I
found several verse contributions from the pen
of John M. Thurston. v,ho, doubtless, then had
plenty of lime to indulge his fancy without in the
least interfering with a law practice composed
mostly of futures. What strikes me as the best
of these productions is the following, entitled
""nal of the Night?" taken from the January.
1875, number of that long passed periodical, ami
w hich. 1 insisl. is more than a mere prelude to the
apostrophe to The Rose:
Maidenwhat of the night?
"The night is clear and ils joys are sweet;
1 am waiting the sound of my lover's feet.
And the passionate words his lips repeat."
But the night is gone, and thy lover s tread
Is fickle and false as the vows he said;
You will wake from the dream with fancy
bright.
For death and change stalk forth at night.
Mother what of the night?
"The night is calm, and its peace is blest;
1 am clasping my boy to my swelling breast
As his spirit roams in the land of rest."
But the night is gone, and the rest is o'er.
And your innocent may wake no more;
For mothers must weep o'er their fond hope's
blight.
O'er the boyhood promise obscured in the
night.
True heart what of the night?
"The night is mine, for each star gem Bet
Tn the vaulted dome I can never forget;
They recall where I and my true lover met."
But the night is gone, and the stars o'erhead.
Like the troth you gave, are dimmed and fled; j
For pride shall sever each true heart's plight,
As morning scatters the stars of night. I
By John M. Thurston in Omaha High School I
Journal.
How he came to be called "Judge" Thurston
is told by one of his biographers who carefully
explains that he was never a judge. In the fafl
of 1S75, he tells us. Mr. Thurston ran as the re
publican nominee for the district bench, but was
defeated at the polls by a small majority by
James V. Savage and, he adds, "Mr. Thurston
is generally called 'Judge,' not because he ever
held a judicial position, hut because his friends,
it is presumed, thought that when Judge Savage
procured the office his opponent was at least en
tilled to the brevet of that rank."
