THE FARMER's GREATEST NEED

THE GHFATESI NEED.
President R~oosevelt's Commission
on Country Life in a report covering
three months investigation places the
building Of good roads first among the
reforms needed to raise the standard
of living in rural sections. Many
other aspects of farm work and farm
life are considered, but the members
of the commission unanimously agree
that the first step toward betterment
should be the Improvement of the
highways which furnish the farmer
access to market and communication
with his neighbors and the outside
world.
The commission earnestly recon-
mends the increase in the number and
activity of colleges and schools teach
ing agriculture with particular effort
to furnish farmers instruction as to
the agricultural possibilities of the
soil and means OF preventing soil de-
pletion. The demand, or need, is for
a broad campaign of publicity that
will inform the whole people on the
subject of rural life and the necessity
OF giving this phase of our national
development as much attention as is
given other interests.
The opportunity for state and fed
eral cooperation in this field is great.
Congress can extend the educational
work through it's already established
bureaus, investigate the system of
handling farm products, eliminate
Determinations against farmers In
transportation rates, enlarge the rural
free delivery and parcels post systems
and extend federal supervision and
control of the public health. This
can be still further advanced by the
state in building good roads, equaliz-
ing taxes and state educational work.
The state and federal efforts must be
supplemented by much volunteer work
among the farmers themselves and
among teachers, ministers. editors
and others Interested in the general
development OF social and recreative
life on the farm and elsewhere. To
this general purpose the commission
makes this call for leadership:
on the development Of this distinctivelS
rural civilization rests ultimately ouI
ability, by methods of farming requiring
the highest intelligence. 20 continue L
feed and elothe the hungry nations: I,

men and women, fresh from our school,
and institutions OF learning, and quicl

THE sIxrIErH coNGRESs.

With but eighteen working days re-
naming to the life of the Sixtieth con-
gress, the measure of its work may be
taken, as it is now certain that nothing
can be expected in the remaining days
of the session except completion of the
appropriation bills and disposition of
minor measures over which there is
no room for discussion or time-ktlling
debates. The short session has been
marked by incessant wrangling and
violent language n no considerable
effors at constructive or progressive
legislation.
/. This was evidently the determined
program of the anti-R Roosevelt repub-
licans and the democrats at the be-
| ginning of the session and they have
carried out their program to the let
ter. They have been keen to seize
| upon every pretext offered, and to
make pretexts when none were in
sight. to shift congressional attention
from reform legislation recommended
by President Roosevelt to some trivial
cause for contention. No progress has
been made on currency reform, which
commanded much attention of the
first session of the congress. Nothing
has been done with the voluminous
report of the immigration commission
and no progress has been made
toward additional regulation of rail-
road and transportation companies OF
amendment of the antitrust laws.
AS the net result of this inaction
the new congress that will come into
existence with President Taft's admin.
istration will have matters pressing
for attention that will make it one OF
the most important in years. 1t will
have, as its first duty, the revision Of
the tariff, to which the party is def.
nitely pledged. 1t will have the posta
savings bank problem, the reform o.
the currency, the amendment of the
antitrust laws, the enlargement of the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
commission, the revision of the reve
nue. laws, statehood for Arizona anC
New Mexico, inland waterway i'm
~provement, conservation of nationa
resources and a mass Of matters o
more or less general interest and i'm

and satisfactory disposition will he'll

The bill in the legislature authoriz-
ing the Board of Regents to draw
against the university levy as soon as
made makes the amount Immediately
available 95 per cent of the total that
the tax should produce. This is
higher than sound f%inanciering would
warrant. The usual practice in Ne
braska has been to limit warrants
drawn in advance against any tax levy
to SIS per cent. Here in Omaha the
city charter makes the limit of the
levy to be credited at once for dis
bursement 80 per cen Of the total,
and our experience has demonstrated
this to be the upper line of safety. If
the university regents are authorized
to draw warrants each year against 95
per cent of the university levy they
will soon have a floating debt of out
standing Understanding warrants,
which will never be completely re-
deemed by the proceeds Of the taxes,
and at some future day the legislature
will be called upon to make a special
appropriation to nquidate the deficit.

EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW.

Ii is in accord with the eternal fit
ness of things hat the local Bryanite
organ, the World-Herald, should un-
dertake to fan the anti-Japanese fame
and put in a boost for the Jerry How
ard bill to segregate Japanese labor
ers in Nebraska. Although pretend
ing to be democratic. hat newspaper
has repeatedly stood for class distinc-
lions and lent aid and comfort to anti
foreign outbreaks in all the various
forms.
or course, the japanese in Nebraska
may have few friends, but the princi-
pie involved is not confined to the yell
low skin or to a single nationality. If
the Japs should be segregated and
blacklisted as laborers the next de-
mand may be for the segregation of
the negroes, and then of the Irish, or
the Poles, or the Italians, or the Lith-
uanians, or the Swedes. II is amaz-
! ing hat the effort to put a brand on
the Japs should emanate from a rep
resentative Irishman whose own peo-
pie have themselves been the victims
Of prescription crusades. And yet, as
the mouthpieee OF the democratic
party the World-Herald puts its en-
dorsement on a plan to create a new
serfdom and a new slavery in this
land of the free in this year, when all
are celebrating the centenary of the
great emancipation.
The exclusion of undesirable JaBa-
nese from the country by refusing
them admission as immigrants is one
thing and discriminating against those
who are here quite a different thing.
The government may by law prescribe

THE SECRET SERVICE AGAIN.

The exceedingly frank testimony of
Chief Wilkie of the secret service be-
fore the house committee on appropri-
ations places congress in a most I'M
enviable light in its controversy with
the president over the use of the Sc
cret service. Mr.. Wilkie stated en-
phatically that no member of the serV-
ice had ever Swallowed any senator or
representative in congress n that
the activities o. the bureau had been
confined entirely to Investigations of
law violations in the different branches
of the government service. He in
sisted that the restrictions placed on
the service by congress had resulted
in retarding the work and, In two spe-
cifc instances, in defeating the ends
of justice.
Members of congress are apparently
very anxious to controvert the impress
sion that their legislation was de-
signed to limit the field of operations
of the secret service, but the record
shows that the curtailing of the force
in the Interior department and confin-
ing the work of the inspectors of that
department to checking up accounts
of land Offices have forced the post
ponement or abandonment of some
important land and timber fraud
cases. AS a result of the restrictive
legislation the Department of Justice
has beer compelled to organize a Sc
cret service force of it's own at a cost
probably greater than II its work could
have been done by the regular secret
service men.
Mr.. Wilkie made a strong plea for
the organization OF a central secret
service bureau under the Department
of Justice, whose services would be
available to any executive department
for the actual detection Of crime. He
made it clear that the business of the
secret service is not the shadowing OF
congressman or the collection of facts
for political uses, but simply the in
vestigation of alleged cases of law VIC
lation. In the light of Mr.. Wilkes
statement it appears that the wrath Of
congress was entirely without war
rant and that the detail of secret serv.
ice men to the different departments
should be authorized by law instead
OF being fol- hidden.
