PRESIDENTS BOYS BEAT FATHER AT HURDLING

air and the animals they rode at fence and hurdle were full of mettle and in spired with the spirit of the sport. Two of them were the presidents own mounts, Roswell and Audrey. mag niiicent blooded hunters of line of hunters
 The horse that was first sent at the jump was Gray Dawn, a gift to Theo- dore, Jr, by Capt Seth Bullock. of peadwood. If he lacks the style and conformation of Roswell and Audrey, he makes up in ginger and endurance. The jumping started at four and one half feet. The boys cleared this with little difficulty, but the president only topped the hurdle by a supreme effort. Then Baron Sternburg put up the bars to five feet. and the two boys tried it again. There were one or two balks for each but they finally got over, their father and other specta- tors applauding.
 The president was not to be beaten by his boys if he could help it, so he put Roswell at the rail again. Ros. well started well. but the rail was too high and his rider too heavy so he quit at, the bar. Again and again the president tried, but in vain, and to the delight of his sons he had to admit that he was beaten.

ENLARe1Eo THE SUPREME COURT.

ENLARGIEG THE IS UPREME COURT
The Nebraska legislature has sew
eral measures pending before It to en-
large the state supreme court. The
urgent need for the reorganization of
the court at the, earliest possible mo-
ment need hardly be recited, For
years the highest tribunal has been
delegated in large part to a make
shift supreme court commission,
whose work at best cannot possibly be
satisfactory. The commission has
varied in numbers from three to nine
members in addition to the three
judges of the court proper, entailing
an outlay which would easily main
tain, with little II any additions. q full
bench adequate to all the business
that might come before it.
One branch of the legislature has
already rejected a scheme fathered by
bar committee for a court of seven
judges, serving twelve-year terms at
IS, 900 a years with, a complicated pro-
vision for minority representation. The
disposition seemssto be to enlarge the
court to FIVE or seven judges. with
terms OF five or seven years, so that
one may be elected each year, with a
reasonable increase of pay.
The Bee believes the seven-judge
and .seyen-year-term plan is preferable
and that the legislature should be lib
eral with reference. to the salary. The
supreme court enlargement, of course,
can come only through a constitutional
famentiment, bat by electing the add.
tional judges at the same time that the
amendment is submitted. similar to

SECRETARY, LoEBs SALARY.

BY an amendment to the urgent de-

has increased the salary of the private
secretary to the president Of the
United States from $4,000 TO $1,000
per annum. Those at all familiar

may accept the increase and still feel
that he is underpaid. The private sec

It 10 one OF the queer things OF our inter-
national trade that we send $4,000 worth
OF automobiles to Europe and that Europe
sends back 100000 worth OF the same com.
modify to this country That is a trade in
KIND that Is almost like swapping jack
knives. And the statistics show that we ex-
port automobiles largely to the same ooun-
tries from which we import them. Great
Britain last year took 81. 10000 worth OF our
horseless carriages, though the British
pride themselves upon their own make. We
also export champagnes in immense quanti-
ties. and we import them in great values
The suspicious suggestion has more than
once been made that we may sometimes
import exactly the same wines which we
have exported. The foreign label is believed
by some theorists to have a value in this
country sufficient to pay round-trip fretghts
and two customs tariffs 1t will surprise
some TO know that we export bananas and
coffee. This, however is because Porto
Rico is now included within the customs
districts OF this country.
Our cotton exports and imports have fea-
lures well worthy OF reflective study. The

Notwithstanding that this country exported
raw cotton last year valued at 500 1900. 600
It imported Egyptian raw cotton 10 the

mixing with our shorter fiber. The United
States exported last year many millions OF
dollars worth OF manufactured cottons
also. but notwithstanding this fact Inn
ported manufactured cotton TO the value OF
tSs.oOoooo. Another freakish-looking fact OF
our round trade IL that while we imported
copper last year TO the value OF ss7 600. 900
we exported copper to the value OF 10000, :
OO0 The apparent anomaly Is explained by
the necessity which both Canadian and
Mexican copper mine owners are in many
cases under OF sending their ores across our
boundary lines for smelling. Copper 30 sent
must come across as an importation.
