Here the idea had its birth, though its sentiment and its practicability has 86 appealed to all that now it is observed in every state in the union and in many foreign lands. What more fitting than that it should be made a memorial to the late J. Sterling Morton, who is credited with giving the idea to the world. All his life long he preached the gospel of Plant trees” and he practiced his precepts as assiduously as he preached. Arbor Lodge and the groves all over Nebraska are as grand a monument as the world possesses. Mr. Morton was not alone in the work, however, for Dr. George L. Miller, by volce, pen and example, was a no less powerful factor in the tree planting propaganda. The pro- phetic vision of these two ploneers looked out over the fire-blackened and bleak prairies of the west and gave to the world one of its most beautiful and useful customs. Where once the winds swept unchecked the landscape is dotted with groves which are things of beauty to delight the eye and add to the comfort and profit of the suc- cessor of the homesteader. While the lumberman was de- vastating the great natural forests of other sections of the nation and driv- ing the country face to face with a great problem the idea of Arbor day is laying the foundation for those to follow with the work of building up what unthinking greed had destroyed The lumberman reaped where he had not sown. The founders of Arbor day eaped only the satisfaction of a good work done and generations yet un- born will garner a rich harvest. Verily, these pioneers builded wiser than even they knew. “Plant trees.” Another Chance f;r Bryan. Information i8 given out that as a THE BEE 1 |of his ofice and tell them to mind their own affairs?

It is perhaps true that if Nebraska sets the pattern he is not a democrat. The Question is whether Nebraska s going to furnish the models for the party any longer. A Ma Loralty to the Peerlesss One. New York Tribune. The Hon. Frank Clark of Florida, haled before. the state legislature for speaking disrespectfuully of Mr. Bryan, told that body that aithough he had no great regard for the Nebraskan as a statesman or a party leader, he would cheerfully fall in line and work for the perpetual candidate in 1912.

Those democratic nominees for po- lice commissioners will have to be ac- companied by a blographical diction- ary to introduce them to the voters. We are glad to be informed of the long list of things which the editor of The Bee has been “allowed” to do. This must be a free country, after all. If Nebraska voters want to know just what the discount rate is on democratic promises they have only to study the record of the democratic legislature. It is now proposed to put meters on telephones. If the plan is adopted the stern parent will probably have something to say about telephone courtships. John Temple Graves says that “to love & widow is a liberal education.” Possibly, but many times a liberal ed- ucation may be secured cheaper in some other way. _— “Drinking cups on trains abol- shed, or everybody his own can rusher,”” is the title of a new edict of State Rallway commission. The rtoonist will now find a substitute we Weary Willie which is popularly supposed to have been forced upon them not for their benefit, but,for the protection of their depositors? If anyone is to put up for a legal defense fund the benefici- aries should be the ones to contribute and the beneficiaries would divide themselves between the depositors in shaky banks and the democratic pie- biters who expect to connect with the liberal jobs carved out by the new law. But why hire a lawyer at all? It is notorfous that the Nebraska deposit guaranty law is one of Mr. Bryan's pet legislative measures. It would never have been put through except for the cracking of the whip in his hands. "It wi crumb thrown to him to satisty his insistent demand for some kind of a law of which he might -boast as com- pliance with the democratic platform pledge. If this is Mr. Bryan's pet measure, why not invite him to come to its defense in the courts, if need be? He is a lawyer, admitted to prac- tice and the case is not unprecedented. Mr. Bryan volunteered a few years ago to help repulse the attack that was made on the maximum freight law and made the argument for the state in the United States supreme court. It is true that he lost that case, but he might do better next time. We are sure that no more enthusiastic advo- cate of deposit guaranty could be re- tained and his services ought to be available without raising any defense fund at all. Talking About “Backbone.” Men count, indeed! They count for the backbone they have; they count for the loyalty that is in them; they count for the cotvictions they cherish; they count for the red corpuscles in their blood, the courage in their hearts, the ideus in their brains.— World-Herald. Talking about backbone, the repub- licans of Omaha who are presenting Mr. Breen for mayor, can challenge the record of “Cowboy Jim.” Mayor ‘Jim"” was notoriously elected three years ago by a combina- tion of public service corporation and liquor interests, who contributed their votes and put up the money that cartied him into office. The main asset .of Mayor “Jim's” campaign was his vainglorious boast that he pos- sessed backbone. The first thing the cowboy mayor undertook to deliver was the wide- open town that he promised the saloon keepers. He issued a written order directing the police to pay no atten- tion to open doors, front and back, on Sundays or week days, morning, noon or night, but in two days his “back- bone’" order. The next demand for a display of ““backbone” came when he bumped up against the Independent telephone franchise. Mayor “Jim" had allowed the Bell company to spend its good to believe that he would not be found wanting when they needed him. But | when it came to signing or vetoing the ordinance granting a competitive telephone franchise, his ‘‘backbone” collapsed and he threw down his friends without even offering to return them their money Oun still another occasion the Civic Federation bunch applied to him to A Seattle police judge sentenced a masher to ‘thisty days on the chain gang.

With only a fraction of their numbers residing in the land of their pativity, yet wherever they wander their heart still yearns for and their [fondest hopes are centered around the native home of the race. Wherever civilization {s, there is the Irishman, and under whatever flag he has found his home he has been a loyal subject. Few, indeed, are they who have any desire to return to their native land as an abiding place, even though' its independence were secured. Still fewer are the number who are not impelled by a constant desire to ald their countrymen who remain. It is this sentiment which gives birth to the homecoming idea. What an object lesson in migration it would be if all who have left the Emerald isle should return. The “standing Room Only” sign would be hung out and possibly some extensions made necessary in order to accommo- date the crowd. 1f worse comes to worst, the sultan of Turkey will depend upon the Amer- ican commander of his private yacht to get him out of the country.

CORNERS IN NECESSITIES. Ways of Reaching Grain Monopolies Through tate Lawas, New York World. With wheat and flour soaring in price, with loaves of bread diminishing in size and with an increasing public demand upon the president and congress for action, the man responsibie for the present situ tioln in breadstuffs vehemently denles that he has cornered the market. He {s merely a merchant. He foresaw scarcity. He did no forestalling. He simply bought wheat when he knew it was cheap and he now has it for sale at a profit. 8o sey they all. Few of the daring oper- ators who have attempted with more or |less success to monopolize markets have been willing to admit that they contem- plated a corner, and the one now In evi- dence 1s not likely to do so. There are laws in Yilinois against forstalling and against corners. There is & law also, which has been upheld by the supreme court of the state but rarely enforced, prohibiting deal- ing in futures. Gamblers in wheat are shrewd enough to point to the high price of cash wheat— that is, real wheat—as proof that their speculation is not responsible for the ad- vance in futures, but if it had not been for the manlpuiation of futures there would be no such demand now for the tual | grain. These operators probably have bought and sold many times over all the real wheat that there is in the country. | By such methods they have gained con- {trol of a great proportion of the visible | supply. | 1t 18 not 8o easy to see how the national | government can reach these evils, but states which permit manipulators to mon- opolize food and flich unearned milllons from the pockets of the people are shock- ingly remiss in thelr duty to themselves and their neighbors.
