The VESTS Ample Cron.

Ever since that little episode In the
Garden of Eden the apple has been the
staple fruit in most countries. About
1t the memories of childhood cluster,
the lines OF the poet jingle and tradi-
lions Of art cling, Scientists say it
contains more nutrition than any
other fruit, and certainly 1t can be
turned into financial profit as readily
as any other, II not more so. It Is in
digenous to more kinds OF soil and
climate than any other and is always
in demand, and in late years has been
at very fancy price.
For these and other reasons 1t is
extremely gratifying to know that the
Pacific coast states have this year pro-
duced the biggest apple crop in their
histoTy-that Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho, Utah, Montana, New
Mexico and Colorado, forming what is
called the box group OF states, have
raised so per cent more apples this
year than they did last year. and the
largest crop they ever raised. At the
same time the quality is said to be the
best ever. All this is exceedingly for
tunate for those farmers who have ap-
pie orchards, for the prices this year
are on a par with their crops, so that
It stands to reason some snug fortunes
are going TO be carved out Of western
apples
We need more apples in this coun-
try. The supply is nowhere near
equal to the demand and in late years
prices in some parts of the country
have become all but prohibitive. 1t Ii
most encouraging, therefore, to know
that immense areas OF this far new
west are being devoted to apple cul.
ture and. as the returns are quick and
sure and large, greater areas will b.
SO devoted IN time. The Pacific north,
west is especially adapted to the pro
duction OF fine apples. but It has nc

The Truth About Diamonds.

With one short-arm punch, Collec-
tor Loeb of the port of New York
knocks in the head the whole hula
balloo about the enormous increase In
the American importation of precious
stones. From the large import duties
collected on these costly articles the
people very naturally concluded that
the country was going diamond-mad,
but Mr.. Loeb says this is not true.
at is merely that We are getting a
record of the stones that we never
knew of before, because they were
struggled" says Mr.. Loeb. 1t is all
as plain as day. And the chances are
that instead of increasing our impor-
tation of diamonds. pearls and other
precious stones we shall begin to OBJ
serve a significant falling off in their
importation. for the duty on such arti-
cles, especially since sthe last tariff
went into effect year ago. is very
high. 1t is far cry from smuggling
precious stone in free of charge to
paying the regular duty on it, so as a
people we shall have to sort of get
used to the new conditions before
overstocking on diamonds.
William Loeb is giving his country
very vivid demonstration of actual
reform in the system of collecting for.
eign revenue. In one year he saved
to the government the sum of $12,-
100000 and. better than all, he has
seemingly destroyed system of graft
and gain, which amounted to robbery
of the nation, in an amazingly briei
period, though 1t had been entrencheC
for years. And, after all, 1t was a sim.
pie work, requiring only common hon,
esty. courage and the determination
to do what strong mind conceived tt
be right and possible.
1t sets a high. standard for future
collectors at the port of New York, too
high to offer much ground for tbs
belief that 1t will ever be safe or pos
sible to return to the old order o.
things.

Jauan's Big Task.

Winning the confidence of the peo-
pie to the extent of benevolent as
sanitation" is the biggest task Japan
assumes in annexing Korea and the
Mikado's government seems to recog-
nize this fact, for in it's official state
ment of the transfer of sovereignty.
it says: THE spirit of suspicion and
misgiving dominates the whole penin-
sular."
This spirit will have to be con-
quered before the absorption of the
hermit kingdom by Japan will ever
become profitable to either, and there
is where the real test of Japan's states
manship will come in. Banded about
between Japan and Russia as trophy
of military triumph 1t is perfectly nat
ural that Korea should be suspicious
and have her misgivings as to the good
faith of her new sovereigns, nor is it
to be wondered at that the diplomatic
expressions OF fidelity as contained in
the treaty of annexation, guaranteeing
equal rights to the masses and proper
distinction to the titled classes, fail
all at once to allay these feelings of
apprehension. Koreans too long and
too tenaciously opposed annexation by
the mikado to peremptorily forsake
their traditional suspicious of anything
Japanese.
Thus, while the outside world may
well believe that Japan is perfectly
sincere in ali its pledges in this treaty
for obvious reasons that affect the in
tegrity and prosperity of Japan, quite
as much as they can possibly affect
those of Korea, II cannot help but see
that herein lies the most serious task
involved in the whole scheme of con
junction. And this task will have to
be effectually met before any progress
can be made toward building up a CO.
herent nation out of the two peoples.
Koreans will be slow to give up Ia
menting their own national effacement
and this, together with the natural
misgiving OF the Japanese, must make
the process of winning their confidence
slow one. japan can never afford to
make any slip that may add to this
spirit of suspicion. 1t has only come
to the real test of its own national
powers.

President Taft's letter to Represent
alive Mckinley, as chairman OF the re-
publican congressional committee, is a
sound and rational plea for unity
among republicans. AS the president
says, It is TO be either a republican or
democratic victory at the polls this
fall; there is no such thing as an Gin
surgent" or regular" victory. Why,
then, would any republican refuse to
lend his vote and influence toward Sc
curing the reelection Of a republican
majority in the next house of repre-
sentatives? Suppose he does not ap-
prove every schedule in the tariff law,
or every provision of the railroad law,
or every detail in this law and that
enacted by the last two congresses, II
he believes in the fundamental prin-
ciples of republicanism as well as in
the general good of the measures en-
acted, why should he not stay with his
party and secure completion of the
program outlined to the people in
1908?
Nothing could be gained to the coun-
try at large by electing democratic
house Of representatives this fall. but
much could be lost. 1t would simply
mean a deadlock In congress, for the
democratic house, of course, would
baIk at every administration measure
and lock horns with the republican
senate, Tho sum total Of its labors
would. of necessity, be negative,
whereas the election of a republican
house would continue to work in har-
mony with the president and thus Sc
cure the enactment or perfection of
those measures the people called for
in 1908, not yet reached by congress.
It stands to reason that il the next
house is republican the working har-
mony between congress and the chief
executive will be more nearly complete
than 1t was in the recent congress, and
with all that may be said as to past
relations, the record shows more tangi-
BILE, practical legislation accomplished
than any other congress has enacted.

nisnrohortionate Representation.

During the recent primary election
campaign incidental reference was
made to the disproportionate and UNI
fair representation in the legislature
which has prevailed in Nebraska for
SO many years. Former Supreme
Court Reporter Judge Wilbur F. Bry-
ant, in a published letter stated the
case in plain language as follows:
In direct violation Of the constitution
the legislature for twenty-five years has
refused to reapportion the representation
in our legislature. One county below
south Of the Platte river. which divides
the state, has 10000 inhabitants and
three representatives; another has 1000
Inhabitants and one representative and a
float. North of the Platte Thurston and
Dakota counties are unrepresented In the
Legislature except by float with Cum
ing county; and Cedar and Pierce with
$4,000 Inhabitants, have only one repre-
sentative. Douglas county ought to have
thirteen members in the lower house and
four senators. 1t has nine representa-
tives and three senators. Do you pretend
to say that a legislature like ours voices
the people of the statef
The way this condition Yves brought
about and the reason why 1t has not
been remedied rest on the same foun-
dalton. The last legislative redistrict-
ing in Nebraska was made in 1887 on
the basis of a state census that sub
stantially confirmed the then existing
apportionment. A new apportion-
ment should have been had in 1891
upon the federal census of 1890, but
the populist legislature refused to act
because Omaha would have been the
largest gamer. The mid-decade state
census went by the board owing to the
drouth and panic poverty which
afflicted the state in 1898 and 1894
and the redistricting due after the
1900 census went by the board through
the greediness of overweighted dis
tricts declining to consent to reduced
representation.
This explains how Nebraska comes
to be suffering in 1910 the injustice Of
legislative apportionment made in
1887. In the intervening twenty
three years the population of this state
has been. largely redistributed. Great
areas that were then almost uninhab-
tied have become dotted with prosper
GUS towns and villages and tracts sup
posed to have been wholly desert and
barren have been made to yield pro-
life crops. Omaha, which in 1885
had 10000 people, will have more
than twice that number by this years
census. These later settled commu-
mites, however, have practically no
voice in their law-making correspond
ing to their numbers.
The first thing needed to assure the
rule of the people I'M Nebraska is a
redistricting for legislative representa-
ton that will conform with present
day conditions and remove the
shackles forged upon us a quarter of a
century ago.

The demand for the establishment OF
postal savings banks Is thus far much more

lends itself to a new economic or political
experiment In advance OF the conservative

England is represented by only about pen
cent, and Oklahoma is considerably ahead
OF New York in this respect. These in
