DEpLoRABLE AND INExcUsABLr.

DEPLORABLE AND TNExCUSABLE.
The race riot at South Omaha is
not only deplorsble, but It is abso-
lutely inexcusable.
The killing of a policeman does not
warrant vengeance upon a whole race
because one of its members happens to
have beer the slayer.
What is demanded is swift and GER
tain melting out OF justice with the
regular machinery of the law rather
than wholesale law~-breaking that
makes innocent men, women and chill
dren the victims.
The outbreak at South Omaha, how
ever, cannot be regarded az spontane-
BUS Several contributing causes have
led up to it.
First, the laws delay and the senti-
mental and senseless exercise of execu-
tive clemency, granting reprieves and
combinations to convicted cold
blooded murderers. The fear that the
law will be cheated is founded on too
numerous cases in which red-handed
criminals have gotten away from their
deserts.
Another contributing cause lies in
the incendiary appeals to race preju-
dice by political demagogues and SEN
timental newspapers. eliminating in
the d~isgraceful public meeting at
South Omaha. The local yellow jour
mails that have been tanning the flames
against the Japs cannot escape respon-
sibility for the fury let out upon the
Greeks.
Irrespective of the causes, the stu
alton calls for a firm hand on the part
of the law officers. Every law-abiding
person, Greek, Jap or American, is en-
titled to protection of life and property
whether citizen or not.
The law and not the mob must rule.

AN INsULTING pBopOsAL.

1t is ~inconceivable that the State
department should waste any time in
rejecting the proposal of Russia, in
connection with the negotiation of a
passport treaty, that no passport shall
be granted by the United States to a
naturalized citizen to whose expatria-
tion the government of his native
country has not given it's consent. The
proposition will be resented by liberty
loving and self-respecting Americans
everywhere.
The alien who seeks to become a
naturalized American citizen is not
asked in this country whether HIS ma
tive government consents to the
change or not. The United States has
laws forbidding the admission OF
criminals, paupePs and certain classes
of mental and physical incapables,
but it does not require the applicant
to produce evidence that his repudia.

The whole theory of u naturaliza-
tion laws and our practice In admit.
ting foreigners to citizenship is di-
rectIy contrary to the Russian pro-
posal.
Russia's interest in this matter il
evidently based upon the experience OF

An up-the-state democratic paper
complains that "the republican press
seems to be urging the few republican
members of the legislature to antag-
onize all good legislation" The trou-
BILE with this critic is that he imagines
all legislation bearing the democratic
label to be good legislation, when
the presumption is really the other
way. It is the duty of the republican
members OF the legislature to favor all
salutary laws for the benefit of the
state, but It is not their duty to help
the democrats eager for political ad-
vantage to blot out or mutilate good
laws placed on the statute books by
preceding republican legislatures.

KEEP roUR HISTORY STRAIGHT.

In all this discussion about Omaha
police boards 1t is just as well to keeI
history straight. Our amiable demo
cratic contemporary, flashing itself into
fever heat, keeps reiterating that the
mayor-appointed police board under
the Moores administration made
Omaha the wickedest city on the map,
when it knows hat it is telling a de-
liberate falsehood.
Omaha has been under a metropolis
tan police commission system since
1887, with police boards v~ariously ap-
pointed by the governor, by a state
appointing board and by the mayor,
and we do not hesitate to say. and
stand ready to back it up with proof,
that the very worst police administra-
ton we ever had was that given by the
board appointed by Governor Holcomh
at the dictation of the World-Herald,
against whose members impeachment
charges were preferred and who es-
capped removal from Office only by a
timely court decision that seated the
board appointed by Mayor Moores by
Affirming a constitutional right to mu-
nicipal home rule.
Since then, we have had successive
police boards in Omaha appointed by
Governor Savage. Governor Mickey,
Governor Sheldon and Governor Shall

boards we're appointed to spite The
Bee, and most of them made up of men
politically unfriendly to The Bee, we
do not hesitate to say that every one of
them was a marked Improvement on
the board selected by the World
Herald for appointment by Governor
Holcomb.
To go into history a little more in
detail, the mayor-appointed board I'M
der the Moores administration was al
ways made up of a bipartisan member
ship and the minority party members
were representative of their parties in
good repute, as, for example, the late
DR.. v. H. Coffman, P. G. Heafey, now
democratic coroner, and F. A. Ken
nedy, the ardent Bryanite editor of the
Western Laborer.
So far as The Bee is concerned 1t
has no other interest in the police
board than its interest in good govern
ment. Making the police commission
ers elective win. in our Judgment, put
the fire and police departments back
into politics and give new incentive to
the liquor dealers. dive keepers and
half world to control our city cleo
tions.

az PRIcE oF HHEAr


The American Society Of Equity has
again decided to suspend the laws of
supply and demand by fixing the price
of wheat, regardless what the millers
at home or abroad may deem it proper
and necessary to pay. The society has
gone to the extent of figuring the cost
of wheat and has reached the surpris-
ing conclusion that every bushel of
American wheat Is worth net. covering
only the cost Of production and stor-
age by the growers. $1.195. On this
basis, the farmers who toiled in the
production of the wheat crop of some
500, 000, 900 bushels in this country
last year lost a round amount of
money, as most of 1t was sold at less
than 81 per bushel. This is all to be
remedied and the society has issued
this formal decree to that end.
The Society of Equity. by it's board of
directors, hereby officially declares that
the farmer is entitled to as much profit
on his business as the manufacturer, or
the merchant, and that the minimum
price for wheat on the farm should be
$1.25 per bushel.
The Cotton Planters association of
the south tried something Of that kind
not long ago, fixing the price of cotton
and ~instructing the planters to store
their product in that line until the
buyers came to terms. Somehow the
plan failed to work. Either the world
began wearing wooden or silk or some
planter did not obey orders. At any
rate. cotton prices tumbled and the
mills quit buying. When the industries
were resumed, cotton prices went up.
in response to an increased demand at
home and abroad and the planters
have not been complaining. The So
ciety Of Equity has not been alarmed
by the experience of the cotton plant
ers, but is going ahead to put wheat
on an iron-clad price basis that will at
least be highly satisfactory t the
wheat growers.
The Society of Equity takes the
position that producers have as. much
right as buyers to fix prices and con-
troll production. In such commodities
as coal, oil and iron the production
as well as transportation and sale are
controlled by a few men, but when 1t
comes to the production of grain the
bases of production are not so well
regulated, because the articles can be
grown in 80 many quarters and such
a large number of individuals are in
volved. Then the local price for
wheat and other grains is fixed, not
only by the demands from foreign
countries, but by the local demands
which increase or decrease as the con-
sumers are employed and prosperous,
or forced to partial idleness and small
pay. If the foreign crops are abundant
and the offerings of wheat so large
that the markets cannot absorb them
the Society of Equity's prices nay be
considered too high and there is not
enough money available for the pur-
pose of holding such quantities of
wheat or other cereals pending a
shortage in the foreign crop or a fail
ure at home.
Organization among farmers may,
and should result in better methods of
harvesting and shipment, but the at
tempt to fix wheat prices arbitrarily
is foredoomed to failure.

THE POWER OF THE SPEAKER.

Members of congress who have been
advocating changes in the house rules
for the purpose of ~curtailing the
power of the speaker will hardly be
satisfied with the concession which it
is reported from Washington Speaker
Cannon and his close supporters are
willing to make, The concession pro-
vides for a calendar Tuesday" Oh
which days members may call up their
bills or get recognition from the
speaker without having consulted him
in advance.
The concession does not reach the
source of the complaint that has been
made against the present rules of the
house. Under existing conditions, the
speaker has absolute power In naming
committees and, with the aid of a
committee on rules, absolutely decides
what measures shall be passed and
what shall be rejected. Speaker Can
o has been called a car and criti-
cised for his exercise of "one-man
power" but he has done only what
he has been allowed to do under rules
adopted by the majority of the mem
bers of the house. The concession Of
fered would be of little value IL the
power of appointing committees is to
remain Internationally with the
speaker. The vital reform. If one is
to be effected to make the house q
more representative body is to give
the members more of a voice ii com
mittee assignments and the business

Mingled scents of mint and rose,
Pungent tang as fine as musk
Drifting through the drowsy dusk,
And the wild-grape smell, and whiffs

Till we close our eyes, and dream
That we see the blossom-gleam.
Dream of richards where the trees
Shake white petals, and the bees
Buzz and hum and dive and dip
For the honey that they sip;
Dream of dandelion gold
On the meadow lands outrolled,
And of Violets that nod
On the carpet Of the SOD

But the flavor of the air
Sets you dreaming OF the caves,
And the vines whose tangled weayss
Build a fabric where Is blent
Symbols Of the orient,
Build a canopy OF green
Where the sunshine drips etween.
