The senate and the free press of the country are a unit on the proposition that "pitiless pub licity" exercise needed restraining influence in the executive department , While the spring may have been backward, and all that, it has been a long time since corn was is nearly all planted at this date of the sea son in Nebraska as it is now. Congreaswoman Rankin's experience with acute rules differs little from that of male mem bers, For young and old congress is a continu ous school of hard and mild knocks. Lingering echoes of grain' pit life suggest "dehorned bulls" and "hidelesc bears." A mere illusion,' Cessation of activities means healthful rest, recuperation and time to bank the money.

WitS on enthusiastic gardener demanding the extermination of the sparrow and another wanting to do away with the squirrel, the ama teur nature lover hardly" know which way to turn. Maybe ft will be well to let Mother Nature attend to the.! matters and keep" the balance herself, The tPrice of Coal Perhaps the iederal trade commission under estimates its own powers of control over the hard coal situation, but if it will fulfill to the letter the intentions outlined in its preliminary report to the United States senate it will find that even the formidable combination of coal producers and car rier will hesitate about carrying to an extreme its policy of extortion at the expense of the consum ers. The power of publicity which the commission threatens to use to check dealers who attempt to extort extravagant profits is a potent one. The public has been officially informed by this body, which speaks advisedly and only after full inves tigation of the . facts, that there is no reason for panic as to the adequacy of the anthracite supply and that as the present prices are unwarranted by market and labor conditions there is conse quently no good reason for an advance in those prices. - Ordinary consumer will hardly take to them- selves the commission's warning against panicky purchasing of coal, for this is a commodity which the average householder or even the average busi ness concern cannot hold in storage in any con- siderable quantity. Siimmtr reductions in the price of anthracite have been made expressly to encour- age the domestic consumer. !to be forehanded in the matter of his fuel supply and not to leave' it until winter to buy, when the demands of the improvident increase the troubles of distributors. Such timely cool purchases, early in the Season; are encouraged in theory if not in practice by the discount offered -kr the dealers. ' r, ( It is the speculators, possessing large storage facilities and the power to hold loaded cars, who are to blame, 'lhere ought to be no difficulty in locating and dealing with offenders of this class. Such practice could not have been possible with out the consent or contrivance of the carriers. If the latter cannot apply the remedy the time must come when.the . powers pf government vyitt be brought 1o bear upon a trade that performs a service to vital-to the We of the community. American Ships in War Waters. Wcinl (mm Washington anil London con tirnir. the news published exclusively in The Bee a week ago, that our destroyer flotilla had been sent across the Atlantic to join the British navy on patrol duty. Rejoicing of Britons at the pres ence of American war ships in the troubled wa ters surrounding the islands will have a milder but sincere echo in this country. The actual physical presence of the United States in the war arena must bring to us more directly the serious side of our self-set task. I'rirle will be felt at the expressions of the British commander, when he discovered the readiness of the Yankee tars for their duties. Our terriers of the sea are now pitted against the terror, and the hope of the nation follows these little fighting vessels into the region where destruction lurks on every side, above and below the surface.' They'll make good, just as the American navy always has made good since the day when John Paul Jones sailed its first ship to victory through the wa ters where our destroyers have joined the watch for U-boats. Public Lands and F ood Bu Frederic J . Ilatkin Another Move on the Irish Question. Lloyd George has made John Redmond a pro posal that home rule with Ulster excluded be ac cepted by Ireland for a term of five years, with the alternative of a convention at which repre sentatives of the different groups and factions be given an opportunity to compromise if possible on a plan for self-government for the island. Mr. Redmond, it is reported, has chosen the alterna tive, and a convention may be looked for. This is proof only that the British premier is moving to redeem his pledge to the Irish, but is not to be taken as guaranty of settlement. It is hard for outsiders to understand the depth and intensity of the differences that hold the Irish groups apart. That internal politics has much to do with the perpetuation of the grievances is ad mitted by close students, who point out that neighborly relations exist between Ulstermen and others of the Irish, save on the 17th of March and the 12th of July. Extremists have held the atten tion of the world for years, to the exclusion of the great body of Irish, who sincerely devote them selves to the pursuits of peace, and look ahead to the time when bickering will cease and Ireland may have a place among the nations. It is conceivable that an Irish convention may bring about a basis on which agreement finally may rest. One group should not be permitted to forever enforce its views to the detriment or ex clusion of the others. Under the convention the Irish will at least be given an opportunity to say what sort of government they want, and this may mean progress towards the solution. . Hysteria Versus Patriotism. . One of the leaders of the war work among the women says economy should be made "pa triotic, and not painful." She might well have added that it should not be spasmodic nor hys terical. What really is required is a simple re adjustment of our domestic economy. Elimina tion of wastes does not mean and should not be come parsimony. Extravagance may be done away with without resort to stinginess, and peo ple need not unduly stint themselves in order to be careful. "Business as usual" is just as es sential as military preparation. When our peo ple get steadied down a little, life wilt still flow in its orderly course, and we will be all the bet ter, off because of our preliminary shaking up. Economy will then be practiced as part of the daily routine and not as a sacrifice. Life will be all the sweeter because of its increasing sobriety, but to get onto a sane plane of living calls for no reckless disarrangement of business. Buying the "Liberty" Loan. Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury depart ment urges on citizen the desirability of sub scribing to the Liberty loan. The success of the issue should not be left to the banks and the heavy capitalists, for the people are deeply concerned, and are sincerely invited to purchase. Bonds are issued in denominations as low as $50, in order that modest - investors mav oarticinate in thr loan. Many banks are arranging to assist their customers in buying these bonds under conditions that wilt permit payments to be made with little inconvenience to the buyer. This will enable many to get possession of at least a portion of the securities. It is a good way to demonstrate personal interest in" the government's project, as well as to practice thrift. The: popularity of the CaUSe Will induce manv in hilv anil almn.t anybody on get into the game. Ownership of a Liberty bond will draw the tie closer between the citizen and his country.' Help yourself by helping the country to make good. Our Touchy Senators, Folks who have smiled at the Russian coun cil of workmen and soldiers berating generals and minister for not first submitting their or ders for revision, may get another laugh if they will consider the spectacle at Washington. Here we have revered senators of the democratic ma jority railing at a democratic president for dar ing to go ahead about the business assigned to him under laws recently passed. When the Council for National Defense was provided for, it was understood to be empowered to set the country ready for war; the resolution declaring existence of a state pf war carried with it power for the president to use all the country's re sources in defense. Under this authority some thing has been done while the congress has been debating details of additional legislation. Sen ator Lewis, Martin and other democrats find in this occasion for great indignation, and demand that in the future they be consulted before ap pointments are made, contracts let or anything else is done looking to preparation. These per fectly good democrats may some day be aroused to the fact that war does not wait on their de liberations. Scolding the president may relieve their minds, but it will not check the progress of events. The first principle of a sound revenue system is that it shall not unduly hamper industry that produces the wealth out of which all taxes must be paid. Another equally sound principle is that the federal government shall not interfere with the sources of revenue of state and local govern ments. The war tax. hill pending in Washington, however, violates all principles of sound finance. ' John Bull's family accepts without a whimper food restriction and regulation that would have been impossible three year ago. One may grasp tlje revolution in mode of living in Great Britain by the simple statement that the Englishman's afternoon tea is a thing of the past and cakes, buns and muffins have gone along into Tne dis .card.. ... - Washington, May 15. With the nation organ izing all of its resources to increase the produc tion of foodstuffs, the commissioner of the gen eral laud service will begin opening to entry this summer one of the last great bodies of valuable agricultural lands which the United States gov ernment has to offer to it citizens. This will make it possible to obtain fruit and grain lands, some of them of the very best quality, for $2.50 an 'acre, payable in installments in compliance with the homestead law. About 2,300,000 acres will be made available in the next few years. These are the lands which the government has recovered by its suit against the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad company, now a part of the South ern Pacific system. The lands were granted to the railroad long ago on condition that they should be sold in small tracts to actual settlers at a certain price. They were sold at higher prices and in larger tracts. An act was recently passed by congress revesting the title to the re maining lands in the government, which act the supreme court has now decided to be constitu tional. The land office will therefore classify these lands as power sites, timber lands and agri cultural lands. The agricultural lands will be sold to qualified citizens at the stated price of $2.50 an acre, on condition of compliance with homestead law. Doubtless considerable areas will be a bargain at that price. i The timber on the timber lands will be auc tioned, and then these lands will be opened to entry under the homestead laws, free of any cost. The conditions of the homestead laws are that the lands must be taken up in tracts not exceed ing 160 acres; the homesteader must reside upon his claim for three years, and he must cultivate a certain part of it. It is true that there are over 200.000,000 acres of public lands, and newspaper dispatches have indicated that much of this great area is to be promptly plowed and seeded, so that immense crops will be produced upon them this year. This idea is erroneous. As a matter of fact, a large fiart of these lands are now producing all the ood in the shape of range stock they are capable of producing, and any marked increase of pro duction is a matter of time, improved methods and reclamation by irrigation. As Clay Tallman, commissioner of the general land office, points out, our government has never taken any steps to make a general and compre hensive classification of the public lands. The Interior department has been surveying them since its foundation, but the government has left the task of classification to the settler. Thus it first offered to its citizens homesteads of 160 acres, and left them to find the lands which could be successfully cultivated in Units of that size. Practically all of the lands suitable for farms of that size have now been taken. Also, many fruit less attempts have been made to cultivate lands which are too dry. and much money has been wasted in that way and settlers needlessly dis couraged. . . Perceiving the need for allowing men to take larger bodies of land, congress passed a law enabling any citizen to take up 320 acres of arid land which could not be irrigated from any known source. It is this law which brought into being the science of dry farming. As a result of it great areas in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming which were cattle range ten years ao have become a rich wheat country, dotted with towns and grain elevators. This act also resulted in many failures. The 640-acre homestead law was passed last year, and already 20,000,000 acres have been ap plied for in these units. The rush to get lands in these 640-acre tracts shows that men believe they can make a living on them. Doubtless many suc cessful combination stock ranches and farms will result from the passage of the law. It will lead to the intensive use of lands which have hereto fore lain idle. It will also have its train of fail ures due to the bad judgment of settlers, who will fail to estimate aright the resources of the land they enter upon. It !s obvious that this judgment of what land is fit for js a job for an expert. And the need for expert supervision in the use of our remaining public lands becomes yearly more apparent. As long as there was rich land in abundance any settler could be trusted to pick out a good farm. When dry farming became necessary, it was a task for a scientist to determine upon which lands it would be successful. Hence the many failures that followed in the wake of the 320-acre law. And to determine what lands will support a family in 640-acre tracts by a combination of farming and stock raising is even more of a problem. , The inventory and classification will be a great aid to increasing production from our public lands. There will be no plowing and seeding this year, except on the areas mentioned above. Neither can there be anv ureatlv increased pro duction of beef, for most of those 200,000,000 acres, surveyed and unsurveyed, are supporting all the beef and mutton they can in their present condition. But if the present emergency leads to a recognition of the need for an accounting of our public natural resources, as well as of fac tories and mines and automobiles, it will have served a good turn to the country at large and the west in particular. Our Fighting Men Austin M. Knight. Admiral Austin M. Knight, commanding the Asiatic' fleet, is considered one of the foremost authorities of the United States navy in the matter of ordnance and gunnery. His naval experience 1873. when he sraduated from the Annapolis academy and went on the Tuscarora to the Pacfic station. In the war with Spain he engaged in the blockade of the Cuban coast and in tne rorto rucan cxpeamon. m iaicr vcmis iic has filled many responsible teaching and adminis trative Dositions. From 1907 to 1909 he was presi dent of the special board on naval ordnance, and in 1913 he became commandant of the Narragan sett Bav naval station and president of the naval war college. From these positions he was trans ferred early this year to the command ot tne Asi atic fleet. Admiral Knight is 63 years old and a native of Massachusetts. William C. Goraas. Major General William C, Gorgas, who was made surgeon general of the United States amiy in recognition of his distinguished services in ridding the Panama canal zone of the tropical diseases that menaced the health of the workers employed in the building of the isthmian water way, is considered one ot tne foremost autno i ties on sanitation and kindred problems Born in Mobile in 1854, General Gorgas was appointed a surgeon in the army soon after completing his medical education at Bellevue. He engaged in the usual routine of service until the close of the war with Soain. when he was appointed chief sani tarv officer of Havana, and during the American occupation of that city he applied methods of combating yellow tever wnicn completely elimi nated the disease in the Cuban capital. Then came his selection as chief sanitary officer of the Panama canal, followed in 1914 by his appoint ment as surgeon general of the army. Joseph E. Kuhn. Brigadier General Joseph E. Kuhn, who re centlv became head of the war college, and as sistant to Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, has had a varied military career since he graduated from West Point in 1885. In addition to the routine service that ordinarily falls to the lot of an army officer he has held important posi tions in the army's schools for experts. He has also had the advantage of serving as military ob server and attache ot the American embassy in Berlin during the first two years of the present war,- and, consequently, is fully informed as to the latest developments in war tactics, equipment, etc. General Kuhn was born in Kansas in 1864 and was aDDointed to West Point from that state. In tho war with Spain he served as a major of engineers. I TODAY I Proverb for the Day. Better to have two airings for one bow. One Year Ago Today In the War.

This net would want to,extend down Into the water the same depth as the ship. HARLEY A. SNUWDEN. How to Secure Food. Omaha, May 12. To the Editor of The Bee: Flocking of rural population to cities is rapidly reducing production and increasing consumption. This Is one, if not the main cause of the in creased cost of living. The only rem edy for this Is to go back to the soil and by extensive and Intensive farm ing restore the equilibrium between production and consumption. Shorten the circuit between pro ducer and consumer. A long circuit, in spite of insulation, causes an Immense waste of electricity, Why should not the fHrmers sell direct to the millers and the millers to the grocers? Why not go back to local mills and save transportation to distant mills and back again to the consumer. j rniB uuur ii'Bro nuuui ou pri rvi 111 quantity and the same in quality in artistic milling. Why not grind the whole wheat, abolish bolting and eat nutritious bread? The saving of this 30 per cent would make up for short crops and leave a large surplus In long ones. Waste no food. Make everything palatable and eat all of it. The high cost of living is greatly aggravated by the cost of high living. It's all right to talk about yard and lot gardening, but It will not amount to much. It takes knowledge and ex perience to raise good vegetables and fruits. Give the farmers the labor they need and they will glut the city mar kets. Restore the old city markets. Bring the farmer and consumer together and lower the price of vegetables from 25 to 50 per cent. Such marketB would greatly stimulate suburban gardening. If the cereals now wasted In liquor making were made into bread it would greatly relieve the shortage and leave $2,500,000,000 to pay the increased price of all foodstuffs. This nation has never known a real scarcity of food, but it is now called upon to sustain not only itself, but all the entente allies besides. This will tax us to the utmost God speed the right and hasten the day of universal democracy. D. C. JOHN. NOTES OF INTEREST.
