It is a questiona- bl t#e at present for the American flag. In Fairness to S8imon. stance the one to be enacted. - Everyone famil- far with legislative procedure knows that where bills on the same subject are introduced simul- taneously in both houses the speedy achievement of the desired result is expedited by acceptance by one hquu of the framework of the measure passed by the other, and this {s what happened with the mothers’ pension biil. The senate file, coming acroes before the house had acted upon the house bills, was amended by Incorporating the additional features of the bills introduced by Represontatives Simon and Jeary, and by an ex- treordinary action recognition was given to the two mothers’ pension champlons in the house by specifically adding thelr names as joint intro- ducers, The record is found on page 797 of the House Journal for 1913 in the report of the committee of the whole, which was unanimously adopted, and reads in part as follows: Amend that part shoWing the Introducer by ad- ding after the words, “Introduced by Senator J.

And Bobby's description s rather vague, sinoe he was unconsclous in his barrel during most of the trip. Tor years before thi t adventure Leach had followed an adventurous &:‘r‘”r as & showman and acrobat. He had made many balloon asrensions and had dropped often in a parachute, once from the height of two miles. He had dived from the great Suspension bridge, 26 feet high, that spans Niagara river, and four times he had gone safely in a specially con- structed barrel through the whiripool rapids, where Captain Webb lost Lis life. Finally, after years of hesitation, he made up his mind that it was possible for @ man to go over the great cataract in a barrel and Itve, and, it so, he, Bobby Leach, was the man to do ft. In vain his friends and his wife (she ran a little restaurant near the falls, on the Canadian side) triel | to dlssuade him, The thing could be done, he declared, | and ‘he was going to do it. At this time Leach was a white-haired man well over fifty, There were two things he could do to help his chances: he could provide the best kind of a barrel to carry him over the falls and he could select an ad- vantageats point for launching tHis barrel.

After the pest ;s cleared out of the ground by the wet treatment the same condition must continue, as the dandelion will start again I believe no lawn shouild city is better than getting up a parade to follow his hearse after he is dead. Mr. Kelly deserves much credit. He has worked hard and the people should sup- port his efforts to give Omaha a worthy singing organization, He is not asking for any particular credit or sympathy, for he is a practical man. He made a five-year contract with the Chicago or- chestra and this contract has just expired. I am told by a member of the choir, a friend of mine, that the recent series of concerts just paid out. That should not be the case. Mr. Kelly should not have to feel any uncertainty to the financial success of such a musical enterprise as this, 1 believe Omaha is Just a little bit tardy in its support of those who are giving their lives to the musical culture of the eity. Music is just as much a part of the city’'s life as street cars, automobiles or other material considerations. Mr. Kelly is a producer, taking this in a strict economic sense.

S———— New Test for the Boyocott. The indictment by a federal grand jury In Chicago of & number of individuals, officers of labor unions, contractors and others connected with the building industry will bring to a test of court another feature of the ‘“‘restraint of trade” function of the anti-trust law. In this fosiance the point involves the refusal by tho ‘agreentent €uced in Chicago. Tho effect has been to close the Chicago market, so far us possible, to man- ufacturers trom the outside. While the action 1s referred to as a boycott, it comprehends a much broader application ot the laws of trade, and is likely to open up for cnnsideration a very general field of commercin) and industrial practice. First of all will come the cuestion of,the virtual monopoly that is thus established, so far as Chicago is concerned, on certain kinds of building material. Then w il come the question of the right of two or ™miro to agree to concerted action in the doing of a thing that {s lawful for either, but which | 1s beld to be conspiracy when subject of agree- { ment. Other lesser points will no doubt be de- veloped, but these main factors in the problei | will be of utmost importance. Theoretically, free trade is an ideal condi- tion; In practice, it has been found expedient to make provision against certain phases of unre- stricted competition by protective regulations. kLiow far these may be applied, fitet by labor unlons in their own behalf, and then by con- trectors and manufacturers with labor unions, for their benefit, is the point to be determined —_— As the administration proceeds with the Alaskan rallroad much instructive information may be gained from Canada’s experfence in bullding the Grand Trunk Pacific. The Do- minion put millions into the road with a view to opening up the northern wilderness to settle- ment.
