"The Tyranny o. the Roof"

"The Tyranny o. the Root
We think of the savage tribe as liv.
Ing outdoors, and free from the re-
straints which come from civilization
the garment, the house and the
cook. But there is barbarism which
spends its winters in huts and holes
from which every breath of fresh air
Is shut out, and where the sitting at.
mosphere is heavy with old shapes
of foul disease" Akin to the life OF
the hut and the slum is the life OF the
home of whatever grade where cold Is
dreaded more than bad air. The farm
house, the millionaire's palace and the
village grocery alike shelter miserable
sinners against natures laws. The
crusade against the ravages of con
sumption has awakened thousands to
the fact that the need for pure air is
more imperative even than the need
for good food, although it speaks with
a less insistent voice. But, remarks
Youths Companion, hundreds of thou
sands of housewives yet need to learn
the danger of the comfortable double
window and the alright stove, and
the healing power of pure, cold air,
STEPPED in Gods own sunshine. A
woman who was known as the queen
of the Gypsies died recently in Eng
land. She was of great age and amaz-
ing vigor, and real character" in
her reserve and her hatred of modern
conditions. She seldom talked, but it
was known that she considered educa-
ton as rubbish, houses as no better
than prisons, and the persons who
died in them as the victims Of their
own effeminacy. In a phrase both
telling and memorable, she boosted
herself free from the tyranny of the
roof" That is truly noble freedom
and one which every wise woman may
covet for herself and her children.
Perhaps another hundred years may
see the stuffy bedroom everywhere
supplanted by the airy porch, and
find civilized man again sleeping I'M

Sheen Rajsino In Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia
is sheep raising, mainly for the sake
Of the wool, but also in part, of
course for the meat. Australia now
ranks second among the great sheep
raising countries, Argentina being
first with 100000 sheep, Australia
second with 100000, and Russia
third with 100000. Only a few
years ago Australia was first, pos
sessing no less than LOG, 100000 head
of sheep. That was in 1891. Pro
longed droughts were the cause of the
destruction Of many millions of Aus
tralian sheep, but since 1902 there
has been an annual gain. Yet these
sheep were not Indigenous to Aus
tralia. They were first introduced in
1897. being Of the Spanish merinC
species.

A Photographic device that will call
the police by telephone adds a new
hazard to the dangers of the burglar s
profession. When an attempt Is made
to force a window or door with which
the proper connections have been
made an electric current operates a
monograph in the garnet. The ma
chine calls up central and asks for
the police station. The monograph
then informs the officers of the rob.
berry, giving street and number, and re-
peats this information as long as the
receiver Is down. Meantime, the in
truder, all unconscious that an alarm
has been rung in, virtually walks into
a trap, and if the call is promptly re-
sponded to is soon in the lookup.

Because of poor olive crop In
Spain the demand for peanuts is
brisk, and the peanut growers in the
province of Valencia are holding their
crop for high price. Peanut oil is
largely used by the Spaniards instead
of olive oil, and the peanut completes
with the olive at the oil-crushers. The
consular report from which this in
formation is taken does not say
whether or not the Spanish dealers
sell the peanut oil as olive OIL They
may be more scrupulous in their trade
designations than some dealers in cot
tonseed oil have been.

Lincoln Letter
Current Gossip from the
STATE CAPITAL
Legislative and Otherwise

The Aldrich maximum freight rate
bill, which caused a deadlock in the
senate was next day amended and
recommended for passage by a vote
which was close, but apparently de-
cisive. The vote in committee in ia
vor of the bill ranged from 10 TO IS,
while the vote against it stood at IL.
When the report of the committee
was made to the senate a motion not
to concur in that part of the commit
tee report relating to the bill was lost
by vote of 10 to 20, giving the bill
to all appearances enough supporters
to insure its passage by the senate.
The debate on the measure lasted over
an hour and, while 1t was heated at
times, the personalities that marked
the discussion the previous day were
omitted. Considerable time was spent
on the legal side of the question,
those who were opposing the bill as
sorting II would hamper rather than
help the railway commission. The
the question of freight rates should
be left entirely to the commission.
The friends of the bill contended it
would give speedy relief from exorbi-
tant freight charges and would give
the commission a basis from which
to work. Tho original measure pro-
vided for a cut of 20 per cent in all
present schedules, giving the commits.
sion power to raise or lower these
rates as proof presented to 1t by the
roads or by shippers might justify. In
order to secure good working ma
jority for the bill, those who were
backing 1t consented to amendments
making the reduction in rates Is per
cent instead of 20 and making the bill
apply only to live stock, pc
tatoes, grain and, grain pro.
ducts, fruit, coal, lumber and build
ing material in carload lots. The
change in the amount of the cut was
made on motion of Wilcox of Thayer
after motion to cut it to 10 per cent
made by McKesson, had been voted
down. The first vote in committee was
on motion of Bpperson of Clay tc
indefinitely postpone the bill. Thii
was lost, IL to Is. When Aldricn'!
motion to recommend it for passag,
was put, 1S voted for it, and the mo
tion was declared carried withou

Over the protest Of It's author, the
Adams stock yards regulation bill was
recommended for passage by the
house committee of the whole,
amended by the committee so that it
will hold water. AS originally drawn
the bill attempted to run the whole
live stock business of South Omaha
and was discovered to be unconstitu-
tional by trying to cover too many
subjects. The committee amendments
struck out that portion Of the bill at
tempting to reduce the charges of the
commission men and simply retained
those sections which regulate the
stock yards, One of the most impor-
tant Is the reduction of the charges
for feed. The yards are also declared
to be public yards.

they have a guarantee from the manu-
facturer or wholesaler.

1t is likely that the legislature will
be able to adjourn by Saturday of this
week There seems to be a general
sentiment that all the work can be
finished by that time, but to do all
that is required to be done may take
longer than this and Speaker Nettle-
ton is not going to stand for any
thought "f adjournment until every
important measure is out of the

The report of the conference COM
mittee on the railway commission bill
was adopted in both the house and
the senate and the bill is now ready
to be enrolled and sent to the COVER
nor for his signature. While the gov
ernor has not made any public ex-
preston of opinion about the bill, it
is believed that the measure is satfs-
factory to him as it now stands.
Express rate schedules now in force
will be cut 25 per cent, if bill recon-
mended for passage becomes law.
The bill is by Sibley of Lincoln coun-
ty, 1t provides for a reduction of all

schedules and gives the railway com
mission power to equalize unjust
charges.
Sleeping car rates came in for full

lower berth, 81 for an upper berth
