In explanation of the purpose of the census to be taken this spring Presi ‘dem Taft has issued a proclamation, 'asking all the eitizens of the United States to answer questions frankly and without hesitancy, assuring them that nothing told the enumerator will be disclosed under penalty of law. The purpose of the census is not to Investi- gate ncomes or property- values for taxation or to pry into business or pri- vate affairs. It is“to compile a vol ume of reliable statidtical {nformation as a sort of decennial stock taking for comparison with previous compila- tions and for government reference during succeeding years. A source of wonderment to all is the amount of ‘information gleaned during the taking of a census. The data thus gathered at this time, especially will be of untold value, covering as it will race, occupations and professions, in- comes, property, agricultural and com- mercial conditions and everything, in fact, necessary (o' complete under- standing of, what America'is and owns. Much depends on the results also as the basis for future congressional and state affairs. The enumeration will be the guide to the formation of new con- gressional and representative dis- tricts in many states of the union. It will also determine the rearrangement of all sorts of governmental districts. for the facilitation of public business. Many people ‘do not like to tell about théir business or private affairs, regardless who the questloner may be, and especially if he is an official of the law. The average person is tempted to twist things for the sake of appear- ances, to give one sort of a twist to the assessor, another to the ‘census-taker and several original varieties of twists to’ the newspaper reporter. The pur- pose for which the information is to be used governs very largely the amount ‘and accuracy of what is given, But for the coming census it is hoped full compliance will be made’ to re- quests of the enumerators, not be- cguse of the penalty of a fine for re- fusal, but because we all want full and reliable returns. Meat Prices in England. While Anerican consumers are find- ing fault with the price of meat in the United States, it is little consolation, although no rellef, - to know that the Englishman is from 4 to 6 cents a pound worse off. It matters little whether the meat is American refrig- erated, South American frozen or Brit- ish slaughtered, the general prices of any and all kinds are higher in England to the extent mentioned. This condition prevailg_throughout the British isles, varying unappreciably even where lo- cal competition is keenest, Compari- son of prices there with the corre- sponding prices here has recently been made by the conmwar-service. and has been .of- no small interest /among all English-speaking beoples, '~ . In America the brisket sells for 5 cents a pound, 'whilé -in England the same plece sells for 10, 'Stewing beef sells for 11 cents here, as against 14 there; round, 14 here, as against 18 and 20 cents; rib roast, 14, d4s against 20; sirloin, ‘16, as agalnst 2 ump steak” (our porterhouse) ‘sells for 20 cente here and: 26 there. This same ratio is disclosed also ‘in prices of other meats. ’ A general sentiment prevails in Eng- land favoring domestic products of all kinds, and this is so noticeable in the meat markets that some shops make it a point to advertise “British beef only is sold here,” and these shops get the major portion of the trade, even though imported beef 1is slightly cheaper and often’ better. It is charged that, like their American cousins, English butchers frequently ‘“‘fudge” on the public so that ‘‘British beef” is any beef slaughtered on Eng- lish soll, no matter where it is raised or fattened. Consequently \ several hundred thousand head of cattle are shipped to Englaind annually to be sold as native beef. The cause for high prices in Eng- land is the same as that given here— the high cost of beef om the foot and of the, feed necessary for fattening. The English people complain and have started lnvut(ntionf Just as we have, which, very like those in America, Have 8o far resulted chiefly in enlight. enment, but not in lightening the load. . Western Ideas on Eastern Farms. With the establishment of an agri- cultural department as an adjunct to the New York Central railroad a new idea is being introduced in the rural districts of the east. It is the applica- tion of western metnods to eastern farms and to eastern conditions. The rallroad expects to make it a success- ful experiment, not only from the farms to be cultivated, but also be- cause of the trafiic résulting from put- ting new life, new energy and new ideas into the farming constituency of its territory. ‘The idea obtains quite generally, al- though erroneously, throughout the east, that the soil there fs run out and worthless and that the farmers of fhat section cannot compete with the more vigorous soll of the middle west. But the fact that the westerner is learning to, renew the soil by sclentific pro- cesses and make it capable of cultiva- tion for an indefinite length of time has never occurred to them. It has also been forgotten in the east that coptinental Europe, which has been cultivated for centuries, is still a very profitable farming district. The west is learning and the east must learn the principles of soil restoration and con- servation by both precept and example. It is pathetic to look over the aban- doned farms In some sections of the | east. The weeds and u"grin’h; THE BEE: grown rank and tall and the buildings are in tumble-down condition. No one seems to care what happens to that magnificent country, and yet agricul tural sclentists say that with proper ‘treatment and care those tarms can be made to produce as.much as they ever did. The present condition is attri- buted to the lack of proper methods and the trend of national immigration from the east to the west and to the clties. But that there is now to be an affort to change this is a matter of no small importance. The rejuvenation of agriculture in the east should give back to the states along the North At- lantic seaboard “once more a good, healthy, vigorous farming constit- uency. Base Ball Season Opening. With the coming of the warm days the base ball germ has taken on life and is at present stretching itself for a season of great activity. On the va- cant lots and in the streets of the city the game has already begun and the “kids” have started the fight on the umpire. Away off in California, down in southern Texas and along the gulf states the big league teams are prac- ticing steadily and the sporting col- umns bulge with the dope on the com< ing season. While every season of the year has its sport, no season is quite like the summer season and no sport is like base ball. The American peo- ple can go crazy over base ball with remarkably little ‘effort. When once they are started they do not stop and nobody cares. The boys catch the spirit first and as° soon as ‘the proverbial spring game of marbles is possible the base ball game is in full swing. It has been well sald that the most popular poem in America is— nothing of Browning or Kipling, ‘mind you-—no other than ‘‘Casey at the Bat.” It surely is typical of the Amer- can game, although it gives but a &nnll idea of the extremes of lunacy possible on the ‘‘bleachers.” Is This Another Forgery? Among the collection of self- solicited testimonials which the .lltqu democratic candidate for United States senator from Nebraska modestly prints in his own paper is the follow- ing, which raises suspicion of thc same kind of forgery which the same paper tried recently to perpetrate on an- other distinguished Nebraskan: T. W. Blackburn, active among local democrats, sald: “I belleve that the can- didacy of Mr. Hitchcock will meet with the approval of the majority of Lancaster democrats. With his entrance into the race fresh blood has been injected into the com- ing fight. He will be an able representative of the state, and would not, even if 1,500 miles away, forget that Nebraska was his home and that he was primarily represent- ing this state.”” ‘While this is printed under the head of Lincoln, everybody knows there is only one T. W. Blackburn in Ne- braska and that be lives in'Omaha and not-in ‘Lificoln, and that. he:registers as a republican and not as a democrat and that he said nothing of the kind. It our T. W. Blackburn has a double in Lancaster county, the sooner we know it the better, so that we can keep the republican and democratic twins separate and distinct. The real T: W. Blackburn would never have made the mistake of putting the hiding place in 'Europe, to which Mr, Hitch- cock decamped when the vote on the tariff was impending, only 1,500 miles away. If this is not another rank forgery, what ie it? Changing Preachers. The changes in the personnel of the preachers occupying pulpits in Omaha churches seem this year to be mere numerous than ever, and the move- ment, in response to calls to larger fields or bigger salaries seems more active than usual. As a rule we regret the loss of these departing preachers who stay with' us an all too short time, and almost be- fore they have become thoroughly identified with the community and get really in touch with our interests fly away like birds of passage to other climes. The preachers who are more permanently attached to their churches and who are with us and of us year after year, are generally steady-going, industrious and progressive workers for the upbuilding of Omaha along practical lines, while the new crop, even before they get rooted in' the ground, want to turn things upside down, experiment with impractical the- ories, and accomplish in a day reforms that require years. It is always the latest-come preacher who thinks his new home 1is the worst vice-infested place he ever saw, and concelves it to be his mission to tell how bad we are in order to make his work of redemp- tion shine brighter. Bvery community ought to chliange some of its preachers once in a while in order to appreciate better those we have kept and those we have lost. If the perusal of Commander Peary's proof were to be only a fore- runner of a trip over the country on the chautauqua platform the people of Kansas City, St. Louis and a few other Cooked towns would raise a roar to have the congressional committee sup- press them.

New Work Sun Senator Root has announced his inten- tion to oppose & pension measure mow on its way through congress. An act of June 27, 1890, granted pensions of $8 a month to widows of deceased soldiers and saflors whose marriage occured prior to the pas- The benetit was limited to those without income or means of sup- port other than their own' daily labor and to those whose ‘actual net income did not exceed $250 a year. The law of April, 1906, removed the fncome restriction and in- creased the rate to $12 a month, thus pro- viding for the payment of that sum to all widows of soldiers and sailors subject only to the condition of marriage prior to June 27, 18%0. The measure now before the sen- ate proposes the removal of the time limit and the payment of a $12 pension to wid- ows of soldfers and sallors irrespective of the date of marriage. Opposition to an extenslon of the pension system calls for independence and courage. The argument of earlier years was the ob- ligation of the:nation to devoted women who cared for the homs and the family while the soldier-husband was In the field fighting for his country. The argument of today is the obligation to the ~devoted women who marry veterans and care for them and nurse them In thelr decliping years. It is estimated that some of 20,00 have been engaged in that laudable enter- prise since June 27, 1890, and the country is asked to recognize their devotion to the extent of $12 a month, presumably retro- active and cumulativ y The United States has pald military pen- sions amounting, in their aggregate, to M, 000,000,000. Sentiment, and not legal or fi- nancial obligation, has beéh the controlling influence. Without sentiment the world would be @ hard and cheerless place of residence, but there is a point at which sentiment goes to seed. It is a fair Infer- ence that Senator Root belleves that senti- ment in the matter of pensions to soldier's widows has réached its proper limit, and there are a great many people who will agree with him.

Mr. Remmel has been in Omaha for five years 16, 1910, While sentimental New Yorkers were shedding gobs of tears over the banish. ment of picturesque horse cars from local scenery, the callous-hearted push to the op- posite extreme by Introducing high power automobile hearses, They reason that a dead New Yorker ought to be put,out of sight as quiekly as soclal regulations per- mit. They consider encumbering the streets with slowly moving funerals a serious dis- turbance to business and a needless tax on the nerves of spectators. The automobile hearse will obviate these discomforts and give the deceased as well as the mourners a joy ride that Is worth the price. The machine combines space tor the casket and seats for eight persons, and can,speed up from five to twenty miles an hbur. The rush to the cities does not find its sole explanation in a general longing for the glitter and excitement of urban life. The city as a labor market draws its crowds. One charitable organization in New York reports that while the supply of man- ual labor for spring will scarcely be up to the demgpd, New York is flooded with peo- ple In search of clerical work, and search- ing in vain. “The class to worry about s that which includes the clerk, the sales- man, and the man who thinks that by not learning @ trade he has a chance to be- come a bank clerk, and then & bank presi- dent. 'Anything to be in New York' is the outsider's slogan. As long as that continues, there will be more men than "Jobs." ( “That's an easy lot which bangs about the broker's office here,” sald the cashier of a fashionable uptown hotel, quoted by the Sun. “They'll bite on,almost anything; even the brokers themselves will, *“The morning that the sentence of Lupe's gang of counterfeiters was announced, as one of the brokers passed my desk I asked him if he had ever seen one of the phony dollar bills that had been passed, He had not, so I took one of a lot of brand- new dollar bills that I had just got from the bank and passed it through the grating. He looked it over. Then he took it into his office, where everybody took @ look at it. Well, they ggt a big magnitying and scrutinized the bill and I'll be ged If they dldn't take & whole hour off just looking at it. Then one of them came out here and offered to give me $5 for it. Of course, 1 theii had to show him the tiliful of such bills Some Brooklyn housekeepers are availing themselves of a plan by which they make two pounds of butter out of one pound and a pint of milk. The pound of regular store butter Is put with & pint of milk into a sort of double boiler affair, in Which the butter is mixed with the milk by means of a paddle not uniike that of an ice cream freezer. From this a rather soft substance emerges, to which some of the less con- scientious housewives add a bit of coloring matter, for the mixture 1s & bit paler than the orfginal pound of butter which went in. When the composition has cooled it becomes hard and to all Intents and pur- poses butter. It certainly weights two pounds where there was only one before, and is so like the genuine that mast fam- ilies do not know the difference. As but- ter is now selling in Brooklyn for about 3§ cents a pound, the thrifty souls are get- ‘| ting two pounds of this “‘just ss good” for 42 cents, and in this way reducing their creamery bills. g 4 A portly ‘man, who looked llke ah’ Ar- menian, bogrded “a Broadway car at Bowling Green and sat next to a placld, spectacled old fellow, who was reading a little blue volume bearing the title “Mar- cus Aurelius” The. portly man handed the conductor - a ‘dollar bifl, getting, 9 cents, chiefly in dimge and nickels. He slipped the change in® what he supposed was his overcoat pocket. At Park place the forelgner got up. Before' doing #0 he felt-in the pocket in which he be- lieved he had put the coin. He did not find it. His face lit up, and he turned to his qulet nelghbor, and remarked, “You have my money in your overcoat pocket.” The placid man stared at the foreigner, who took off his hat, and bowing to the imperturbable one said, with emphasls, “I say you have my money, % cents, the ( change of a doliar, In that pocket,” and the forelgner pointed to the other man's pocket. - Again the self-possessed old party stared and went on reading. The foreigner leaned over and putting his right hand in the overcoat pocket ot the disciple of Marcus Aurelius extracted 9 cents. Spreading the money out in his palm the foreigner shook his other- hand at Mr. Aurellus, and sald} “You see, it was as 1 sald. We were sit- ting so0 close that I thought your overcoat pocket was mine," Mr. Aurelius’ calmness was more notice- able than when he first lifted his eyes trom his book. ; A little Greek restaurant in New York has neted its owners a fortune. One of them cooked and the other waited on the few tables when they began business, twenty-five or more years ago. Today one of the men they used to merve with the ples of Pericles and the thumb-bits of Themistocles, is putting up a new building for them. They paid 34,000 for the land, and they are spending $57,000 on the build- ing, exclusive of the cold storage plant, which 18 to cost §16,000. A cellar and two sub-cellars are hewn out of tthe solid rock Above ground there will not be many floors. The speclality of these thrifty Greeks s the serying of food, so they insist upon ample restaurant space. They have | a theory that a table should pay 100 per cent a day. In this country Greek sculp- tors turn easlly to carving out fortunes, ““The announcement that there are more than 1,600 cases of divorce, separation, and annulment of marriage on the calendar of the supreme court at present, to be di posed of before June 1" says the Ne; York Times, “is somewhat disquietin But that court administers the law for a very large and thickly populated district. In & population of 4,000,000 the appeal of 1,600 discontented married couples for re- lease from their marriage ties need not be taken as an Indicaflon that the com- munity is already in a ‘state of moral de- gradation. Doubtless, ‘the complaint in many cases Is justifiable. Until latel; marriages have been too easily contracted in New York. We may hope that one of the effects of the new marriage laws will be & decrease in the number of divorces. Too Much Butting In. Philadelphia Press.

Pollcy of Negation Proves Undeserving of Power, Minneapolis Journal, , Some of ‘the democrats think the demo- Cratic senators were under no obligation to* vote for the postal sayings bank bill, which was a republican program medsure. The platform’had demanded it and the president had adopted it as part of his irreducible minimum of performance by his party at session. This, it Is claimed, made the bill a political lssue and absolved the dem- ocrats from voting for it. Of course, if the democratic senators can reason that way.and make their constitu- ents feel that it is all right, they may have saved thelr own seats. But where have they landed the party with the large inde- pendent vote, which, it Is acknowledged, sways the country, and which flits from one party to another, largely on the merits or demands of their records? Can the dem- ocrats satlsty this element by mere nega- tion? The attitude of the democrats in congress ever since the Taft administration came in has been weak. It proposed nothing as an alternative for the Payne tariff bill.
