All meth- ods of farming up to the year 1890 had been directed to making possible the cultivation of great tracts of land and little or nothing was done for breeding up the seed, developing intensified farming and the sclentific study neces- sary to make the cultivation of the soil a profession It was but a few years ago that the| first articles on dry farming appeared in The Bee. The ploneer in dry farm- ing, Mr. Campbell, was scouted as a crank and vislonary at that time and his theories were laughed down in all parts of the world. It was also about the time that the first ideas on the sub- ject of breeding seed corn and seed | wheat were advanced by the progres. sive experimentalists of Nebraska, 1111 noig and Minnesota. But since then all of the Campbell dry farming ideas have and also the breeding of seed as practical factors in the suc- cessful development of farming and the materfal increase in both yleld and profit It is a fact which needs little ex- planation that in the vegetable king- dom, as in the animal kingdom, like breeds like. That seed from a big ear of corn or wheat will produce big ears, the “nubbin” will invariably produce nofs are far ahead of other states in sbed culture, The University of Minne- sota has also been working successfully for the development of better seed wheat in a like manner. Other states in the union are awak- ening to the fact that the future de- velopment “ot farming must begin in the betterment of the seed. The soll may seem to run out in some cases, but more often the seed has run out in- stead. Since the breeding of better seed has been in progress a material increase in yleld has been noticeable. It is only a guestion of time until all the agricultural schools ard colleges in the country will take up this work, so successfully begun in a few western states, and assist in its completion. Of course the new ideas and methods which ‘are being evolved may tend to decrease the size of the farms, directly on account of the increased care neces- sary in the work. But so long as the profits are increased by so doing the average farmer, like the rest of men, will be willing to make the most of his opportunities, Roosevelt in Europe. In spite of his mild protest France insists on entertaining Colonel Roose- velt officially and giving him a recep- tion as the guest of the republic. In addition to state festivities planned in his honor he will be raceived by the French scientific societies of which he is a member, and everything possible done to make him feel that France is a friend of America and an appreciative admirer of him personally. A distin- guishing mark of all these occasions will be an absence of ostentation, it being Mr. Roosevelt's desire to be re- celved simply as & scientist and as a man of letters. J There have been times in the history of the world when an American ex- president would hardly receive the ac- claim accorded to Gemeral Grant and that which had been planned for Mr. Roosevelt, The people of the old world |admire our hunter statesman and are | all eager to show their appreciation of | American who has done most to ad- vance world peace, but because he ranks as the foremost private citizen of the generation in which he lives. France always has been the friend of America and in many ways has evi- denced it in acts of material courtesy and in honor to prominent Americans. | Mr. Roosevelt is not the first former president France will have entertained. Other nations of Europe would also like to receive the ex-president in a| fl‘llng manner. Germany has extended an invitation to him to visit Berlin, but his change of route makes this impos- |sible. He expects to spend a short time in the British Isles visiting places of historical importance. Leaders of Eu- ropean thought have pronounced Theo- dore Roosevelt “the foremost man in Railroad, rates from the Missourl river to Chicago are high enough in all reason.

Announcements have been made | through the foreign consular service at Washington that expositions are soon {to be held in England, Austria, Italy and Russia in agricultural, horticul- tural, mechanical and artistic fields. According to the statements given out all'of them are for the purpose of de- veloping international commerce and | trade relations to secure new ideas for future work. This is especially true in the English exposition, in which Rus- sia is to be an active assistant, These expositions are on a small scale as compared to recent American |and French expositions, but the same idea is emphasized. The Austrian ex- position will be in the nature of an au- tomobile show. Amerrca is invited to send an exhibit, but such representa- tion does not appeal to our auto mak- ers, who regard it as too much of an undertaking for the trade possible of development, the conditions ©of manu- facture In America making competition practically an impossibility For several years England and Rus sian needs and Russtan resources. Russian students go to Kngland by the hundreds to study modern methods and advanced ideas, belleving It for the mu tual good of the countries concerned. It is also significant that Russia and England are to unite in an exposition. The exclusively Russian expositfon is to be artistic, being photographic, will naturally be small. The exposition in TItaly, however, {8 to be part of the celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the kingdom of Italy, and will be more extensive in scope than any of the others mentfoned, and will have a larger international section, One peculiar, and at the same time landable, feature of these expositions Is the avowed effort to profit by the latest in commerce, trade, manufacture | and in art to be found anywhere in the world. Optimism and Autopsy. To be able to make a virtue of necessity is evidence of a disposition sufficiently sunny to avoid cynical de- pression, and our estimable double- ended contemporary, which has re- cently sold its home and rented it back, has this in a degree that war | rants its being entered in the Mark Tapley class. In referring to the val- entine party at Lincoln it says: The banquet was the lurgest in point of attendance from outside the city of any similar demooratic gathering held In Lin- coln for several years. This in face of the fact that the most distinguished of Ne- braska democrats was not present to serve as a “drawing card,” and there were no famous speakers from abroad save Mr. Reed of Kansas City. The several autopsies that have been held on the valentine party have disclosed other facts than this. The “Jimocrats,” for example, have dis- covered that the large attendance from outside the city was mainly due to the efforts of the ple-biters’ brigade, who rallied in force at the call of Ashton I. These were there to furnish forth the tumultuous applause, and not only to wake the echoes, but make the welkin ring, and do other uproarious stunts in order to demonstrate the excessive popularity of the governor over the ambitious mayor, who would climh into the governor's seat. And the ambitious mayor of cowboy fame had rounded up some few of his adherents and they were there with the same identical purpose, with the position reversed, and thus the matter of mere applause was carefully attended to, as well as the assemblage of those out- side the city. It was unfortunate that the Peerless Loser could not be present in his own proper person, but he left them some- thing as inspiring as anything he has ever done in the shape of a declaration in favor of county option. Standing in awe thereof, the democrats gath- ered on this momentous occasion, bared their heads and lowered their voices, and gave no outward evidence of the storm that raged beneath, Mayor Reed of Kansas City was merely one of many distinguished statesmen from abroad who were sought after, differing from the others only in that he accepted the invitation. He must have been highly edified by what he saw and didn’t hear at Lin- coln and has undoubtedly returned to his Misgouri home much encouraged by his experience. Indeed, the valen- tine party was a success In every way —except it added nothing to the dem- ocratic chances for the future. Opening the sealed box that was enclosed in the cornerstone of the Douglas county court house twenty- nine years ago, is an eloquent tribute to the progress of the city. The men who sealed up those records for pos- terity had little notion that the great majority who witnessed the ceremony would live to see the box opened. They were building as they thought for the remote future, and now in less than a generation they are building again with an eye on the future. This illus- tration of the changes that have come over the city in ite growth are more forcible than words. The dispatches from Washington speak of Glavis as the prosecuting wit- ness In the Ballinger investigation. Must be a fearful mistake. The im- pression is cultivated by our amiable democratic contemporary that these {echarges were made and proved by its congressman-editor before a witness was sworn. single The report now is that the earth will be destroyed by the cyanogen gas in the tall of Halley's comet.

What a pleasant surprise the grand jury could perpetrate by cleaning up its business and adjourning within ten days or two weeks. But then some things are too good even to hope for.

Hot Stuff for Bryan State Senator “Doc” ‘Tanner Hands the Feerless & TFew Oholoe Packages and Then Some. South Omaha Democrat. Egyan has finally punctured his inner tubd and the courty option gas that he has had In cold storage for some time, has all escaped. Brother Charley has been lugging this heavy editorial aronnd for some time, using 1t as a club to intimidate Governor Shallenberger. In faect, it has been written <o long that the manuscript was actually musty. Bryan Is a wise guy when It comes to plucking the suckers for coin of the realm, but he Is Inconsistent. Not only inconsis- tent, but he is an Ingrate of the firet water. In his pronuncamento that Brother Charley carried about until he was hump- backed, he sa Liquor interests interfere in all matters that may even remotely affect thelr inter- ests. They made themseives odlous in the last session of the Nebraska legislature. The democrats had a majority of both branches for the first time in the state's history, and the splendid . record of the lagislature has but one blot on it, and that blot was put there by the liquor inter- estd. They controlled enough senators to prevent the submission of Initiative and referendum, Now, let's call a spade a spade. liryan says the last legislature made a splendid record with the exception of passing one of his individual hobbles, namely, the initiative and referendum. Withotit dis- cussing at this time the merits of the initiative and referendum, every one knows that bill was not an issue in the last cam- palgn. The democrats ran on a specific platform. It suited the people and the democrats elected a majority of the legls lature. A powerful slement of that major- ity of voters was controlled by the liquor Interests. Without it the democrats would have beeen swamped. Bryan knows this, vet he growls because the men elected by the support of the liquor interests will not give them the double cross. The people knew what the issues were. At every political meeting during the eam- palgn the democratic ccandidates for the legislature from Douglas county. an- nounced that they were opposed to prohibi- tlon and opposed to county option. Noth- ing was said about the initlative and refer- endum. 1In fact, while the liquor question is In the air, the initiative and referendum |1s considered a prohibition move. There would have been no such thing as for the liquor interests. For the last forty vears the democratic party has gone on record in every Important convention held as being opposed to the passage of sump- | tuary laws. Bryan helped write many of these planks, and endorsed them all. He accepted the support of the liquor Interests when he ran for congress, and in every Other campaign when he could get it. When he was jumping sideways for bread and the seat of his breeches wore,a patch, | the jack-pots raised by the liquor 1nuruu| for campalgn purposes looked mighty good | to Willie. Now that he has got his bit, and is strolling along the shady side of easy street, he starts the cry of wolf. Bryan s simply out to bust up the democratic party. He realizes that he cannot be eledted himself, and he don't want any other democrat to win. He has enjoyed a powerful following, but it is get- ting away from him fast. Men who have followed him faithfully for years and years now openly announce they are done. But Bryan won't quit. He is bound to keep in the limelight. It fs a boost for his busi- ness. His paper, books and lectures must be advertised. And he may be strong enough to keep the democrats from elect- ing a president next time. And this in the | face of the best opportunity the demo- | crats have had in years. It is all self with Bryan. The success of the party is a secondary consideration with him. His belch in favor of county option and prohibition is nothing but spite work. For | seventeen years he has practically taken the other side of the argument. But he Is | |#ore. He wants to punish someone. His initiatlve and referendum gag would have gone through all right had it been In the plattorm.
