A New Union Pacific
The statement of Carl Gray, president of the
Union Facific railroad, published in The Sunday
Bee, conitituted a atrong appeal for the develop
ment of the Union Pacific-Central Pacific route
from Omaha to San Francisco at an independ
ent transcontinental line.
Mr. Gray confirmed all . that The Bee laid,
at the time the federal supreme court ordered
the divorce of the Central Pacific from the
Southern Pacific system, as to the-importance
of the decision and its possible benefit to Omaha.
In addition he pointed out that the terms tinder
which these two railroads were originally built
require their operation as' a continuous line of
communication under co-operating if not identical
ownership.
The Union and the' Central Pacific were
constructed under authority of the Pacific rail
road legislation, by which the federal govern
went subsidized their building by grants of pub
lic land. This legislation provided that the two
roads be "operated and used for all purposes of
communication, travel and transportation, as far
as the public and government are concerned, as
One connected, continuous line."
The supreme court has declared that owner
ship of the Central Pacific by the Southern
Pacific is not in the public interest. It has ruled
that the Southern Pacific's divergent interest,
due to its ownership of a competing line to
1 Paso and New Orleans, is contrary to law.
Accordingly, it requires the separation of the,
properties. ' -u
Mr. Gray says that the Union Pacific is will
ing to buy the Central Pacific line, from- San
Francisco to Ogden. Whether it buys it or not,
he insists that the Central" Pacific must be
operated as a part of the continuous line from
Omaha to the coast If it is independent of
Union Pacific ownership, it must be operated in
narmony with union racihe and not under
domination of any competing route. , '
The hope of Omaha is that the first alter
native be achieved, that the Union Pacific acquire,
the line to the west, and that Omaha thereby
become the eastern terminus and headquarters of
a truly transcontinental railroad. By that only
can the real destiny of the transcontinental rail
road, as dreamed by its builders in the years
during and following the civil war, be fulfilled.
" Rebellion Against a Bad Deal.
The last week's political news makes it evi
dent that Nebraska farmers are not going to
be without direct representation in the July pri
maries. ; , V. ' ' , -;'
J. O.' Shroyer of Humboldt,'one of the most
widely known farmers of the state, has become
a candidate for the democratic nomination for
United States senator. Petitions are being cir
culated to nominate G H. Gustafson of Lincoln,
president of the United States Grain Growers,
Inc., for the same office on the republican ticket.
Meanwhile W. J. Taylor of Custer county has
filed for the progressive nomination for governor,
appealing to all loyal members of the new. party
to ' repudiate the bargain whereby an attempt
was made to have the progressives play second
fiddle to the candidacy of J. N. Norton, a
democrat" : 'f' y' --: V''
Of the three, the Shroyer candidacy is the
most interesting. Shroyer furnishes a rallying
point not only for farmers who have been
flouted by Senator Hitchcock but also ' for
progressive and "dry" democrats, whether farmers'
or not, who cannot forget Hitchcock's past record
and who see no prospect of liis reformation. The
Shroyer ' and the. Taylor candidacies i indicate
that progressive democrats and progressive
third party members are alive to the effort be
ing made to bind tnerrto support a reaction
ary leader without return guaranty of support
for the principles which they hold dear.
Frisky Coks of the Automobile.
A motorcycle rider, losing control of his
machine, is thrown against a brick wall and
suffers a fractured skull. T Unfortunate, of course,
but he will get scant sympathy.
Many hundreds of , carefully chosen words
are used to explain in detail the traffic regula
tions of. the city, but most motorcycle riders
appear not to be aware that rules of the road are
made for their observance, v r V,-'K--r?'v;
Every highway is a speedway and crowded
intersections are exhibition stages; the pedes
trian is a matter of no importance.
Efforts of traffic officers apparently avail
nothing. The only remedy, perhaps, is a few
more brick walls.
Passed Up by a Street Car.
A man was fined in South - Omaha police
court because he forcibly boarded a Q line ear
which he claimed had failed to stop for him in
answer to his signal. .
The conductor on the street car, he alleged,
made as if to assault him with the iron handle
which controls the folding doors' of the rear
platform. ,
: 'Details of the brawl between the passenger
and the conductor apparently satisfied the judge
sitting on the case that the pedestrian 'was in
the' wrong. ; ' . ' , .
' But how many of us are there who haven't
' at some time or other boiled within ourselves
at the flippant manner in which many of the
" .i.ituv;-.:
street tar crews have pined us up at a clearly
marked car ttopf
We did not resort to the tactics of the nun
who was fined in court, of course. Our breeding
and intelligence retrained us. But it does seem
that a school o( Instruction in courtesy might
not be amiss for goodly number of the com
manders of tram can in Omaha. .
Alter all, lervici is the purpose of itrtet
car system.
Ways to Farm Ownership.
Indicative of a spirit of fairness that will go
far to upbuild the wcllbeing of Nebraska is the
search of the agricultural committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce for a satisfactory
long-term lease. Back of this investigation are
the ideas of giving farm tenants a proprietary
pride and interest in the land, thus preserving
its fertility, and of enlarging the opportunity for
becoming owners. '
Prof. H. C Filley of the state agricultural
college, speaking before the committee, made
the point that the government estimate which
lists 42.9 per cent of Nebraska farms as being
cultivated by renters is an exaggeration since
many of the tenants are sons or grandsons of
the owners, with the expectation of falling heir
to the land. While this is true, it does not alter
the relative position of Nebraska with tenancy
figures for other states. The average the na
tion over is lefs, 38.1 per cent.' There are 13
states, most of them in the east but including
Wisconsin, Michigan, Washington and Oregon,
where all except 17.6 per cent of the farms are
run by their owners.
,The congressional investigation found that
these states are also the ones in which diversified'
farming is well developed. Farmers there sell SO
per cent more of livestock products, such as
milk, eggs and butter, than do those of other
states. The roughage of the farms and much
of the crops are fed to dairy cows. Their dairy
output especially bring them a steady cash in
come throughout the year, hence the need for
borrowing is not so great and the security is
better. Accordingly, farmers there have better
credit opportunities for owning their own farms.
And tenancy in these 13 states is less than half
of what it is nationally.
A long term lease, or a partnership or stock
share tease might be expected to encourage di
versified farming and reduce tenancy.
Canada and the Waterway. .
- Western Canada will be heard from on the
setback that has been given the Great Lakes
waterway project by the dominion government.
To the offer of the United States to open nego
tiation of a treaty authorizing the construction,
of the canals -and dams along the St. Lawrence,
Premier McKenzie King has responded that he
can not consider the proposal at this time. -
The land-locked grain fields of Canada, like
the agricultural industry of our own middle west,
suffer from heavy transportation charges. Pros
pect of a waterway that would bring ocean
freighters to their very gates was greeted there
as here with hope.' y!. . i
Opposition to, the international project has
been strong in the port of New York, which an
ticipated the divergence of great quantities of
export freight to the waterway. Equally selfish
reasons have animated the opposition of the
Canadian port of Montreal
) The province of Quebec, with its two ocean
ports, has built up an immense .business as the
point at which railroads and steamships meet
and exchange cargoes. Once 'these vessels can
pass the La Chine rapids and Varry' their goods
hundreds of miles into the interior, the business
interests built up in Quebec fear for the profits
of handling. And McKenzie King's administra
tion holds its slender majority through the politi
cal support of that province.' V :j
It is a fact that with ocean cargoes loading
and discharging at docks comparatively close to
Winnipeg, Omaha and Minneapolis, the totl taken
by New York and Montreal would be reduced.
Measured on a national or a human scale, how
ever; theje would be no loss, but actual gain
from the shortening of the freight routes.
Such waste as exists in the neglect of cheap
water transportation on this continent cah not
continue. Western Canada is to be heard from
and the middle western states will back it up.
Cutting Out Duplication.
Missouri is hard at work drafting a modern
constitution. One of the proposals now before
a committee of the constitutional convention is
interesting to Omaha. This reads:
! In all counties having a city therein con
taining over 100,000 inhabitants, the city and
county government thereof shall be consoli ,
dated and the general assembly shall provide
by law the method of such consolidation at the
first session after this action becomes effective.
Since St. Louis is already operating under a
combined city and county government, Kansas
City would be the only other place in the state
falling under the provision t until St, Joseph
grows up. ,
j Taxpayers of Omaha, complaining under city
and county levies, would welcome such a move
toward economy and simplification. 1 ' Already
something has been done toward consolidation in
the treasurer's and assessor's office. Junction of
the Omaha police force and the Douglas county
sheriffs office could be made the next step, if the
inevitable process of reducing duplication is to
proceed gradually, and not all at one time as the
Missourians would have it.
In conferring an honorary degree on Vilhjal
mar Stefansson the University of Iowa honors
itself, for this Icelandic throwback is one of the
greatest of modern explorers. The University
of North Dakota, which expelled him for some
student prank, no doubt is wondering if its judg
ment could have been faulty.,
. Education of the hands supplements that of
the brain, and Monmouth Park school makes a
fine'showing of the handicraft of its boy and girl
pupils. Something deep down in human nature
seeks to express itself in creative work, and
those are fortunate, beings who early learn such
practical outlets. ' ' : ;
The motion picture theater owners have con
demned the "vamp," but it is worth while to
note that this action follows the discovery that
such movie heroines do not attract patronage.
Few of the evils that vex the virtuous would con
tinue long if they did not pay.
Somehow, no great amount of hilarious
laughter is heard among the politicians at the
Henry-for-president movement , Mr. Ford's an
nouncement that there will be no bandwagon
was unnecessary: of course one of those small
cart will be used,' -
Prisoners and Paroles
Nebraska Editors, While Holding Humane
Sentiment, Call for More rirmneaa.
cotublut New.
George Grlints: Results apparently demon
strata that Nebraska's parole system and the
indeterminate sentence law coddle the criminal
and do not act as restraint upon law break
ing, much lets as a corrective upon those who
have offended. Theory seems to incline toward
the present systera,-1ut practice seems to dem.
onitratc its futility.
Alliance Times
E. G. Jones: The purpose of the Nebraska
parole syitem is being defeated by a too liberal
application. More thorough investigation is
needed before granting paroles. If crime is to
be checked, escape from adequate punishment
must be made less easy. The indeterminate
sentence law is fundamentally sound but its
purpose is likewise being thwarted by too much
executive clemency. The fault of both lies not
in the system but u their application.
Holdrege Progress
E. J. O'Shea: Nebraska is mighty lenient
to her criminals. Our indeterminate sentence
law is grave mistake and our parole system
a farce. The action of the pardoning board in
the Brown case is probably typical of the system
and, if so, it defeats the purpose of enforced
regulation. It is an injustice to society to pardon
one criminal only to make room for another.
If we must continue the lenience, every known
method of identification should be employed.
. Falls City Journal
Aaron Davidson: The parole system is com
mendable in principle, but as practiced in Ne
braska offers a splendid incentive for crime. All
a murderous highwayman needs to do when
caught and convicted is to become religious and
fain the sympathy of some prison social worker,
he way to freedom is then made easy. When
a man's moral record ia closely checked rather
than his religious activities, then the parole
system can accomplish some good.
Kearney Hub.
M. A. Brown: ' The parole system and in
determinate sentence are neither ideal nor per
fect, but provide a degree of necessary flexi
bility in prosecution and punishment of violators
of criminal statutes. They can- not be perfect
But they are necessary, notwithstanding oc
casional mistaken clemency.
Hastings Tribune.
Adam Breede: The Nebraska parole system
and indeterminate sentence law could be im
proved upon. However, there is entirely too
much political criticism connected with paroles
and pardons. When a democratic board pardons
or paroles a criminal the republicans howl their
heads off, and when a republican board exercises
its prerogative the democrats immediately begin
to use it for political purposes, and there you
are. . .,
St Paul Phonograph.
J. F. Webster: Our parole system is wrong,
when it is possible for men of the Brown type
to get out of the penitentiary and endanger the
lives of our citizens. The next legislature should
repeal that law or change it so that no man can
secure his release from the penitentiary without
the consent of the trial judge, who is best posted
on all details of the case. The prosecuting at
torney should be consulted as well, when our
parole officers will admit that they parole a man
and then 'release him for all time, as in the
Brown case. It is time for someone to put a
Stop to such rotten work.
Beatrice Express
Clark Perkins: I am in favor of a system of
parole and pardon that will salvage to citizen
ship men who have erred and who during their
prison life show true evidence of reform. I be
lieve that these men should be selected for parole
and pardon by the governor, the warden of the
penitentiary and the members of the oarole board
of their own initiative and resulting from the
convict's conduct and evidence of return to
probity. I do not believe in the privilege being
granted to outside influence or to the convict to
institute petition or proceedings for parole and
pardon. 1
I do not believe in the indeterminate sentence
law, sinte it limits the discretion of the court to
fix a penalty in conformance with the turpitude
of crime or the moral status of the offender
against the law. t
' - . . Leigh World,
i Charles R. Kuhle:1 In the light of recent
events the Nebraska parole system is working
out quite detrimental. In our opinion the inde
terminate sentence should be used only in rare
cases and paroles should be given only when new
and favorable evidence warrants it.
Blair Pilot
Don C. Van Deusen: Nebraska's parole sys
tem and indeterminate sentence law is evidently
better than; the ones who are responsible for ad
ministration of it, else it isn't a very good law.'
We are inclined to blame the administrator!
rather than the law, but realize we all make
mistakes. The parole of Brown was certainly
one of these.
;, Grand Island Independent
A. F. Buechler: The Fred Browns and Beryl
Kirks are the only real beneficiaries of the parole
system and indeterminate sentence law as now
carried out. State governors and parole boards
have thwarted more justice and exposed society
to more danger than have all the reds in the
country. The indeterminate sentence law log
ically, calls for paroling and pardoning to be
done not by. the governor or by board members
who do not know any of the facts but by the
convicting and sentencing court which does know
all of the facts.
Bloomington Advocate.
H. HL Crane: The abuse of the parole and
pardon system is stimulating crime. A man
that wilfully breaks the laws of the land ought
to pay the penalty. The indeterminate Sentence
does not mean much to a criminal. Crime is on
the increase; no increase of laxity in enforcing
our laws. s
' Aurora Republican. V
.... " C A. Carlson: We have never been able to
see the logic or necessity for giving a criminal
an indeterminate sentence for executive clemency.
Let the penalty fit the crime according to the
evidence available. It is also our opinion that
a convict's good behavior while serving time
cannot be given much consideration as often' the
most desperate criminal becomes a model pris
oner in order the sooner to gain his liberty.
The Colfax County Press (Clarkson).
The principles of the Nebraska parole law
are good but there still remains considerable
room for improvement. The present parole sys
tem should be abolished and the power of par
doning vested in a commission of three members
the governor, warden and the district judge by
whom the convicted prisoner was sentenced,
and a public hearing given in the county seat
where the prisoner was given his first trial This
measure would then prevent such blunders as
were made by the pardoning board at Lincoln in
releasing Brown, one ofthe. most notorious crim
inals the state penitentiary' ever housed.
Seward Blade. .
E. E. Betzer: The parole system as now
conducted ia a disgrace and a menace to the
state and is causing a contempt for the law
that wijl lead to serious trouble if wholesale
paroling is not stopped. The indeterminate sen
tence law allows the criminal to apply for parole
after serving only a short part of his sentence.
Both laws should be wiped from the statute

Alain, a union with limitation of

But at that, growth Is not uni

I have always aald in thla column
that bablaa, and children generally,
will not grow much, and should not
be expected to grow much, during
hot weather.
Every mother ahoutd have a
growth schedule for her child, and
ahe should try to eee that the time

The mother of older children will
do well to disregard the schedule In
hot weather.
Two or three recent reports are
only partially confirmatory of thla
opinion. Prof. W. T. Porter of Har
vard university, atudylng tha growth
racorda of several thouaand Boston
achool children, found that the sea
son of maximum growth waa from
September to January. The season
or smallest gain was from February
to June.
Since the schools are not in ses
sion In summer, he had no extended
observations on hot weather gains.
In New York city Oebhart studied
the growth curves of S00 children.

and contempt for law prevails there
isnt much if It worth while, bverv

citizen who believes in law and order.
Gering Courier.
A. B. Wood: There have been
grievous errors made in administra
tion of the parole law without doubt.
but not sufficient to condemn it if
we are to give convicted criminals a
human chance in any manner. No
other way is suggested to prevent our
penitentiaries becoming wholly inad
equate so long as mankind continues
frail. Theoretically the parole law is
correct as well as the indeterminate
sentence and only needs wise and
careful administration.
Nebraska City Press. ,
W. H. Sweet: The abuse of: the

No. 11 of a series of 11 advertisements explaining the A. B.C.
QUESTION: Can local advertisers be members of the A. B. C?
ANSWER:
A local advertiser can be a member of the A. B. C,
such membership entitling him only to reports and
data of newspapers and local periodicals gener
ally circulated in the city where such member
is located. ,
The list of A. B; C. members as revised May 1st shows
that 159 local advertisers are members of 'the A. B. C.
These firms are in a position to know accurately the
circulation, distribution and character of readers of
any paper or magazine circulated in their respec
tive cities. . -
This information is of value in determining the most
profitable distribution of an advertising appropriation.
It places at the space buyer's hand a means of check
ing the verbal circulation statements made by adver
tising solicitors and others.
Local advertisers in Omaha are not compelled to
become members of the A. B. C. to secure accurate
circulation data on The Omaha Bee. Bee representa-;
tives will show either a Publisher's Statement or report
of the Bureau's audit upon request
