FOOLISH THINGS YOU DID.
Baltimore American.


It's good to wander back again
Among the old home folks,
1T rather satisfies a man
To hear the same old Jokes:
To hear somebody say: "I knew
You when you were a kid"
But some one always tells you of
The foolish things you did.
Your heart beats lightly as 1t did
In long-forgotten days,
When at some well-remembered spot
Rehectively you gaze.
But 1t seems queer that all your eoot
Ana noble deeds are hid.
And people only call to mind
The foolish things you did.
They talk of others who've gone ont
into some foreign land:
Iney tell OF things these other folks
Have done-and they seem grand.
But when 1t comes to talk of you
Their minds cannot be rid
Or the belief you'd like to hear
The foolish things you did.
You know you've done a thing or two
Which show you've got some sense,
But every time they talk of you
Ineyre certain to commence
With tales of "What a fool YOU vera
When you lived here-a kid"
They have forgotten all except
The foolish things you did.

Excessive Sleeping Car Rates.

The amalgamation Of the sleeping car
companies BODIES no good to the public. The
Wagner company, for instance, charged only
$3.50 for a berth from New York 10 Syra-
cuse distance of nearly 300 miles. But the
Pullman company makes the exorbitant
charge of 50 for a berth from Philadelphia
to New York. distance OF ninety miles.
Now that the companies have combined the
minimum 81 charge of the Pullman company
will probably prevail everywhere. Sleeping
cars are necessity and the exOrbitant
charges should be reduced by congress.
There is no reason whatever why the sleep
ing car companies ehould not be brought
under the Interstate Commerce commission.

Many times The Bee has pointed out
the urgent necessity of revenue reform
in Nebraska and the direct means of
attaining it. Local taxation is vital
question with at least 30 per cent of
the population. If equal taxation could
be secured there would be no such thing
as excessive taxation. 1t is the in
equality of assessments against which
the taxpayers protest. The responsi.
bility does not rest with present otfi-
cials. The statutes and the constitu.
ton must be amended in certain par.
ticulars. To this end the Real Estate
exchange, the Commercial club and
every taxpayer in omaha should agi-
tate the question and after full and
free public discussion formulate n plan
of campaign which would result in a
reform. The question is nonpartisan.
1t Is paramount to any other local issue
Every nominee to the next Legislature
of whatever party should be pledged in
advance to work constantly for Il law
providing for tax reform. If, however
the people of this city do not get to-
gether on this proposition there is little
hope that any relief can be obtained.

Europe Eating Our Apples.

I'dINIITFUI0 . 1fTIVTIN''I''
So far this season over 900 barrels OF
apples have been shipped from this country
to Europe The weekly exports have run up
to 10000 barres.o The market on the ether
side, especially in Germany continues strong,
which means that the prices are good. Our
apples are now ahringing in Europe from
$3.50 to s4.25 a barrel,r Certain eastern states
are doing most of the business, because,
while the west can produce fine apples,
freight rates to the seaboard are an i'm
portant element.m States not until resent
years large producers are finding profit in
growing apples for export. In northern AMI
southwestern Virginia, for instance, the
acreage is being steadily increased and the
apples are good.

Southern pabifiC Has Been Working
Quietly But Earnestly To Sc

cOncensus of opinion in favor OF COM

"Since that time, and acting prob
ably that article as a basis of action
the Southern Pacific company asked
one of it's officials to select the site
most suitable, in his opinion, for the
new Union station. This selection was
made, and it embraces all that land ex-
tending west from Oregon street along
the line of the G. b. track two blocks,
and thence extending south and west
one block.
"No more convenient and cOmmod-
ious site for station could be found,
and the road, perfectly satisfied with
the selection, set about pricing proper
ty which it would be necessary to buy.
''Here the first hitch occurred, be-
cause in some manner the property
owners heard of the scheme, and
prices went up TO tne Top nOtcu. 1ua1
stopped further negotiations for awhile,
and matters are therefore in allegiance.
s'But the scheme has
been taken up quietly
with other roads, and some thing de-
finite is bound be result, for II the pro-
perty owners on the site selected do
not come to terms, another locations
will be considered.
