Colonel Rooserelt in Omaha.

Omaha is to be honored by a visit
from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and
his party touring the west and will
accord him the true hospitality for
which our city has become noted.
Colonel Roosevelt comes as the
guest of the citizens of Omaha as a
whole rather than OF any particular
party, faction, club, association or or
ganization, and the entertainment that
is to be provided for him is entirely in
keeping with the character of his visit
Colonel Roosevelt honors Omaha
by staying here an entire twenty-four
hours, and the opportunity is utilized
for q varied program. At luncheon
he will meet informally representative
citizens, not only of Omaha, but Of all
Nebraska, and his address at the Au-
ditorium at o'clock in the afternoon
will be entirely public, so that everyone
who desires to hear him may do so to
the limit of the capacious hall. In
the evening the dinner is necessarily
more restricted in numbers, but is to
be followed by an excursion to the Den
under the auspices OF the famous
knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, who will show
him some things which he could not
see even in Africa.
1t is needless to say that Omaha
bids Colonel Roosevelt welcome as the
nations most distinguished private
citizen, and with fond recollection Of
his former visits to this city, both as
private citizen and as chief executive
of the republic.
Omaha and Nebraska extends greet
ing to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.

A Strange Anomaly.

A strange anomaly OF the anti
saloon movement in Nebraska is found
in the post-election comment of the
official organ of the anti-Saloon league.
From this the only inference to be
drawn is that the organized forces for
which it speaks were all exerted in the
recent primary for Governor shallen-
berger without consideration for any
other candidate. For example, 1t says:
Many anti-saIoon men, seeing the hope
lessness of their own candidates, turned
democrat and voted for shallenberger and
Metcalfe Most anti-saloon men felt that
Governor Shallenberger deserved another
term and voted for him regardless Of
party.
And in another place 1t gives this
additional endorsement:
Mr.. shallenberger has been a model gov
ernor and deserves a second term.
Here we have open acknowledge
ment that the anti-saloon reformers
preferred to take a democrat running
on a platform opposed to county OPP
ton, which he had helped to make,
rather than a republican running on
county option platform, which they
had themselves made for him. AL
though Governor Shallenberger had
been elected in the first instance by
the help of the liquor dealers votes
and money, and probably expected the
same support again, the anti-saloon
men were also for him in the primary
and apparently ready to join again
with the liquor crowd to elect him
later. This, however, is no more
strange than that these two antag-
oniStic forces had united behind the
same democratic candidate two years
ago.

Adapt Seed to Soil.

A scientific farmer in Oklahoma has
produced a species Of corn under the
dry farming system which he calls
Mexomer that yields sixty bushels per
acre and which he hopes to bring up
to 100 bushels per acre before he has
ceased his experiments with 1t. The
secret of his wonderful success is
adapting the seed to the soil, which
is the secret of any and all successful
farming. He looked for a variety Of
drouth-resisting corn, since the sec
ton OF Oklahoma he was in was a dry
section and he finally discovered what
he was looking for by crossing old
Mexico varieties with home seed, pro-
ducing a corn that was entirely
adapted to the soil and climate of Ok
lahoma.
Here is the explanation of this
whole scheme of intensified farming
Soil and cultivation are5 to be sure,
important factors in producing results
and the proper treatment of seed is
another immensely important factor,
but before both Of these comes the
proper adaptation of the seed to the
soil. When the farmer gets that he
has the largest part of his problem
solved. Irrigation, fertilization of this
sort and that--nothing can count for
so much as the science of selecting the
kind of seed that is best suited to the
particular kind of soil. OF course this
system of selection requires careful
study and research, but why should
that deter the plans or progress Of a
farmer?
The dry farming congress that
meets in Montana will do we'll to take
the case of this Oklahoma farmer in
hand. 1t seems to offer something
Just a little in advance OF anything
which the other dry farmers have yet
achieved. A seed that will yield sixty
bushels of corn to the acre with rain
or irrigation is worth investigating.

Roosevelt at Osawatomie.

IL is natural that the occasion of
celebrating John Brown day at Osa-
watomie should have inspired Colonel
Roosevelt to talk about the reform
program. His utterance is noteworthy
because of the comprehensive ground
1t covers and the far-reaching changes
he advocates. Yet most of the things
he urges are not new to him and many
of the proposals are even now being
put into effect by the operation Of
laws enacted by republican congresses
carrying out recommendations of a
republican president.
Two lessons may be drawn from
this occasion, namely, the need OF the
new era to strike q proper medium
between ultra-radicalism and ultra
conservatism and that, what substan-
tial reforms have come in this coun-
try, have come through the agency of
the republican party. Both Of these
propositions receive emphasis in
Colonel Roosevelt's address. AS to
the first he says:
/ do not want people to follow men
whose intentions are excellent. but whose
to trust them.
And there is ample emphasis
throughout the address of the latter.
This new era, which affects business
as we'll as politics. has unquestionably
come to stay in this country, but its
destiny is yet to be worked out. It
has but made It's advent and its form
is yet indefinite. While 1t brings us
as a nation to advanced ground from
which, in the dispensation of a wise
statemanship, there will be no reces.
sion, 1t is nevertheless still incumbent
upon the people to find the equilib-
rum between the two extremes al
ready ,1entioned and that equilibrium
is neither insurrectionary nor reac-
tionary, but an eVenly-balanced pro-
gressivism, such as that for which the
republican party, as the party of prog
ress and action. stands and toward
which it has always moved. In this
era Of transition, when the people are
looking for the solution of new prob
lens to lit them to new conditions
they will have to rely on the only
party that has achieved anything
worth while since the beginning Of the
civil war-the party of Lincoln, Nc
Kinley. Roosevelt and Taft. II is the
only political party in this country
that has succeeded in governing the
