Are you ready?- "Father and Son" week is going nicely. Both dad and the boy enjoy it Another unmistakable sign of spring is the tall for amateur bait players. D'Annunzio says Italy can not annex Fiume now. He refuses to abandon his claim. Governor Edwards' name goes on the ballot in Michigan. Those fellows know a good thing. Mr. Baker's resignation now will not make M much 'difference as itmight have done two friars ago. Douglas county employees are getting wages Increased after a fashion. It was slow in com ing to some. It ought to be good when the State of Ne braska and' the United States of America clash on the dry law. . They may call General Pershing the "Duke of Victory" in New Orleans, but he will be "Black Jack" forever up this way. Home rule has been within reach of Omaha for a long time, but never a reasonable effort to take it. Why not do as Lincoln did? , The expedition which brought Columbus to America for the first time 4s now reported to have cost $7,000. It was money well' spent, too. 1 The bootleggers' bund is up against a double header now, with Uncle Sam on one side and the state on the other, and all cylinders hitting. ; New Jersey's public utility commissioner says the consumer must pay the incras in coal miners' wages. Winder if he thinks that is an original discovery? The British House of Commons has rejected a capital - tax move, as the government has no intention of repudiating its debt or encouraging extravagance. The "Plumb plan" for a similar tax in the United States would stlrely meet a similar fate were it ever brought forward iff congress. " The reported merger of the Burlington, Great Northern and Northern Pacific 4 into one system may simplify the Hill management's problem, but as a matter of curiosity we would ' like to know how it will get around the North ern! Securities and the Union Pacific-Central Pa cific decision? v , Th constitutional convention has made 'wtat looks like a blunder in opening" a way for tale of public school lands. If anything hould be kept inviolate, it is the endowment of the common schools of the state. These lands are growing more valuable with each passing Hay, and wih careful management should bring ft steadily increasing revenue. We may well idoubt if the people will consent to the aliena jdoa of this heritage of the schools. Parable of a Prodigal Father A certain man had two sons, and the younger tt them said to his father: "Father, give me the portion of thy time, and thy attention, and : thy companionship, and thy counsel which fall th to me." And he divided unto them his liv- ' ing in that he paid the boy's bills, and sent him to select preparatory school, and to dancing achool, and to college, and tried to believe that he was doing his full duty by the boys. - And not many days after the father gath ered all his interests and aspirations and ambi tions and took his journey into a far country, into a land of stocks and bonds and securities and other things whichdo not interest a boy: and. there he wasted his precious opportunity of i being a chum to his own sou. And when he had spent the very best of his life and had gained money but had failed to find satisfac tion, there arose a mighty famine in his heart; and he began tc be in want of sympathy and real companionship. And he went and joined himself to one, of the clubs of the. country; and they elected him chairman of the house com- ' mittee and president of the. club and sent him to congress. And he would fain have satisfied himself with the husks that other men did eat, and no man" gave unto him any real friendship. But when he came to himself, he said: "How many men of my acquaintance have boys whom they understand and who understand them, who talk about their boys and associate with their boys and seem perfectly happy in the comrade ship, of their sons, andI -perish here with heart hunger?, I will arise and go to my son, and will say unto him, Son, I have sinned against Heaven and in thy sight; I am no "more worthy to bfjcalled thy father; make me as one of thy : acquaintances."- And Tie arose ahd came to his : son. But, while he was yet afar off, his son saw -him and was moved with astonishment, and instead of running and falling on his neck, he drew back and was ill at ease. And the father said unto him: "Son, I have sinned against ' Heaven and in thy sight; I am do more worthy to be called" thy father. Forgive me now and let me be your friend." 'But the son said: "Not so, I wish it were possible, but it is too late. There was a time when 1,-wanted companionship "and counsel and to know things, bufyou were ;- tbo busy. I got companionship and I got in formation, but I git the wrong kind, and now, alas, I am wrecked n soul and body, there is no more heart left in,nie, and there is nothing you can do'ifor me. It is too late, too late, too IN THE WAY OF A BARGAIN. Introduction of an ordinance lookiifg to abandonment of proceedings in the way of ac quiring the city gas plant for the peopla brings Nup. squarely a point that may have been lost sight or. Messrs. Lre, Ziniman, lowl and Ringer rest their action on the belief that the price fixed by the condemnation board is too high. Mr. Ure ?s quoted as saying that it is excessive by the amount that it surpasses the estiaiate of the experts employed by the city to survey the plant. It is implied that were the oompany to signify its acceptance of the city's figures, $3,750,000, the proceedings might go on. ( 1 1 Against this Mayor Smith interposes the fact that the condemnation board reached its conclusion after full hearing and consideration. It set a price of $4,500,000 as a fair valuation of the plant. This is above the city's and below the company's estimate. ' If proceedings are abandoned by the city at this point, the alter native is a suit to compel specific performance ofthe contract contained in the determination of the voters to acquire the plant, or that the company -shall accept the city's offer. It may well be questioned if either of these exactly squares with the ethical obligation under which the city rests. v Admitting the motive that actuates the ma jority of the commissioners, tr?at they are look ing to what is better'for the city, we may also question the form which their method of bar gaining is assuming. When the citizens voted to "acquire and appropriate by exercise of the power of eminent domain the gas plant of the Omaha Gas company," no price was- fixed, nor was it then or since expected that the value would be determined exclusively by the city, or that the transaction would be concluded oti a take it or leave it basis. If proceedings are broken off now, what will follow may or may not turn out well for the public. It js very sure that no reduction in gas rate will ensue, and it is not at all certain that a new move to set a price will bring any more favorable estimate. It would seem a wise and popular move to close the deal and acquire ,the, plant withput ljStigation if a course to such an end is open. Ships at Junk Prices. Bids offered at the auction sale of the Ger man ships seized by the American government indicate that the newly formed shipping con cerns are alive to the bargain instinct For example, when the Leviathan was built its cost was stated at $12,000,000, and estimates on its reproduction at present prices range between $?5,000,000 and $30,000,000, yet this tremendous vessel was grouped with six others, including the George Washington and President Grant, and $14,000,000 was offered for the lot. Other bids are in line with this. Americans want a merchant marine. It has been the hope of most for years that our flag would be restored to the high seas. Billions were spent during the war to create ships, with the understanding that when peace came they would become commerce carriers under Old Glory. Thirty splendid German vessels, in cluding the flower of the great Hamburg-American fleet, were seized by our government, a magnificent nucleus for the new . merchant marine. " Many good reasons exist why the govern ment as such should not go into the shipping business. No good reason has ever been ad vanced why it should not foster a merchant marine, by favorable duties, subventions or even by direct subsidies. But all of these combined do not. constitute any reason why certain great shipping combinations should be given the enormous favor that is included in the proposed sale of a great fleet at junk prices. If the Leviathan were piled up on a rocky lee shore, with a fair chance of being floated again, the insurance company could sell the wreck for more than is now offered for the vessel in going condition. " f Congress may have to aot in some way to aid the American shipping industry in peace time. Relaxation of the dry law may be needed to enable passenger boats under the American flag to compete with foreign-owned liners, and other assistance may be needed. This -fact, however, does not justify the proceedings which have marked the ship auction up to date- On the Making of Platforms. When Chairman Hays announced his com mittee that is to collate and codify material for the republican platform, Mri Bryan, among others, emitted the hoot of scorn. Platforms, said the great commoner, should come sizzling hot from the convention. Delegates, fresh from the people, should express the sentiments and formulate the issues. Just so. And now comes Mr. Bryan, from one of his winter homes, this time at Miami, Fla., and with great particularity proceeds to outline the planks that are to be promulgated at San Francisco. .These may be incandescent, - corruscating, tjen fluid in the intensity of their heat, but they will em body the views of the peerless leader as he has now prescribed them. Thomas Riley Marshall, vice president of the United States, ah;o has is1 sued a proclamation stating what the platform shall contain. Likewise, Governor Edwards of New Jersey. By the time the entries close, it willbe found that the San Francisco delegates will have to deal with a considerable number of self-appointed keepers of the democratic con science and' any heat noticeable in connection with the platform will probably be the result of friction in driving it through a dominated gath ering. The Hays plan for deliberate action still seems good. Nebraska Women At Chicago. A mere man has nothing easy before him when he sets out to follow the ramifications of the suffrage movement, and therefore it is wise to take it as it is told. Thus it is, without any pretense to detailed knowledge, that the male portion of our state's population is today step ping softly and saying little. Mighty few of the men in this great and glorious common wealth have ever thought that the women folks were such capable leaders and genuine go-getter as has come to the surface 6ince the cele bration started over at Chicago. It does not need adherence to the principle involved in woman suffrage, nor absolute acceptance of the dogma of the association, to understand that Nebraska women have been influential and have occupied honorable and arduous posts in the bat tle that has brought the cause to victory. 'Tlfis is established beyond peradventure by the pro ceedings, and the daily accounts coming to The Bee from its staff correspondent are most gratifying in -this regard. As it has many times in the past, The, Bee again takes its hat off to, the women of Nebraska- , Indians for the Army v From the New York Times. The proposal to organize "one or more" di visions of Indians for the regular army, which has been brought to the attention of congress and may be made a part of the reorganization bill, is commended by General Pershing and other officers, who know how brilliantly the In dian "soldiers acquitted themselves in France. Maj. Thomas Keilly of the 165th infantry thus sums up their merits: wThey are expert in rifle fighting, game, strong, brave, resolute." They were superior in scouting and palrf-work. They were unexcelled in every phase of every fight." " In short, there were no better soldiers in the American expeditionary forces. It is said that most of the 10.000 Indians in the serv ice enlisted. Only Indians who were citizens could , be drafted, and a considerable majorit rity still of the. Indians were not citizens and are s outside the pale. " . In the last annual report of Indian Commis sioner Cato Sells there is a stirring passage in which he describes the review of a brigade, of American troons that had returned from France. "In that triumphal scene," he Wrote, "were the flescendants of men who were .Ameri cans before 'Attila's fierce Huns' were beaten at Chalons, perhaps before the Siege of Troy." .And there was this reflection: "Probably nothing more helpful has come to this aneicnt Indian race than the enrollment. of 10,000 of its sons simply as American soldiers to challenge the barbarous rule of Central Europe." , . In the readiness of the American Indian to fight the battles of the white man, at whose hands he has suffered such wrongs, there is a reproach which should bear fruit in -justice to his race in the future. The nobility of the Indian J knaiokui yy at t,.jico3cu Ju 111c act vice, utkcii heroic, that he rendered on the battlefield in France. 'If vindictiveness had been the domi nant trait of the Indian's character, he would never have worn an American uniform It should turn out to be true, as Commissioner Sells has said, that '"nothing more helpful has come to this ancient Indian race" than the server ice it gave and the sacrifice it offered on fields where civilization trembled in the balance. Con gress is disposed to do the fair thing by the In dians ajt last. iThe Carter bill, conferring citi zenship as" a right upon all Indians born within the United States and providing for a distribu tion of tribal property among Indians judged competent to administer their shares, was passed by the house of representatives on Jan uarv 14. After this measures becomes a law thereNwill still be Indians who tpust be pro tected as wards of the nation, but the purpose is steadily to reduce their number by training and education. Whether Indians under the new dispensation will desire to wear the army uniform in time of peace -can be determined only by the test now proposed. It will be the policy of the War department to recruit units from localities and organize them into regiments to be identi fied with those localities. Therefore it would be appropriate to enlist Indians for service where there are reservations. But is not the Indian too restless and active, too little used to re straint, to endure the routine of peace duty? Time will tell if Indian regiments are to be or ganized. As an American division consists of about 25,000 men, it is not to be expected that enlistments for more than one division could be obtained, but possibly two peace-strength di visions could be organized. Many Indians would naturally prefer civil occupations. It must be remembered that the number of Indians of en listment age would probably not exceed the strength of two full divisions. Where Was the Sugar? According to the combined reports of im portations and domestic production, there was never before so much sugar in the United States as last year. It has not yet faded from memory, of course, that there was not enough in distri bution to go round. There was a shortage dur ing the last halt of the year, which at times amounted to a famine. ' . The reports do not mention the shortage, much less explain it. To the sugar statistician an enormous supply was "visible" or "available," but so far as millions of consumers were con cerned it was neither. Exports last year amounted to more than 1,500,000,000 pounds, while the year before they were below 1,000,000,000. An explanation of a sort may be discovered there. We are now hearing that some of the exported sugar has been returned to this country. This prompts the question: Was the government's fixed price primarily responsible for the reduction of the visible and available supply by exporting? It has been proved in other instances and in other countries that, whije the government may fix a minimum price, it cannot compel anybody to sell, or even to stock up with the godds.

A's husband roade a con tract with B to purchase certain lands, and B had the lands trans ferred to A in consideration of e.tfr tairi money that A had previously loaned him. B, in order to induce A' to buy the land, misrepresented the land to A. A conveyed the land to his wife. Can the wife sue B and recover damages for deceit? Answer This depends on the question whether in buying the lands the husband was, acting for his wife or-whether he was acting for him self. From your meager statement of facts I would say he was acting for himself. He took tho land in exchange for his own property. He and not his wife owned the right secured by the contract to have the lands conveyed. The conveyance to his wife did not carry with it a cause of action, for this cause of action is in no manner accessory to the title to the lands, but is entirely in dependent of it. 5 4 3l 2Sb 4z4o You Can But on That. , As soon as Mr. Hoover definitely decides which party he belongs to, the other won't find it bard to give 57 reasons why he. couldn't be presi dent.
