The First Prerequisite

Discussing proposed improvements
in the direction OF providing a perma-
nent plant for the Nebraska State fair,
the Lincoln Journal declares:
1t goes without saying that no more ex-
pensive buildings should be erected until
a comprehensive plan is adopted for the
entire plant
In this the Journal is eminsntly cor
rect, for there is no more reason why
the public money should be wasted on
state fair improvements than 1t should
be wasted in response to any other use
full or useless demand. Having sec
cured the permanent location Of the
fair, 1t is natural that Lincoln should
want a permanent plant built for it at
the states expense, but there should be
more behind the argument than the
mere spending OF money in Lincoln.
The obstacle to be overcome is the re-
luctance to invest large amounts in
costly buildings TO be used only one
week in the year. A permanent state
fair plant, should there ever be one,
should be adapted TO q permanent ex-
position of the states resources, and
erected upon a plan, not only oompre-
hsnsive and systematic, but holding
that purpose in view.
What the Journal says about state
fair buildings 10 even more applicable
to state university buildings. The de-
velopment of the university campus
and equipment should also be accord
ing to a comprehensive plan that looks
forward TO the future That is why
The Bee has advocated the transfer OF
the university from the present i'll
adapted downtown site, that never car
be made to meet requirements except
at a colossal outlay. to the roomy uni
vsrsity farm where it would be fully
accessible, and could be easily and
economically projected and built on 6

instead OF continuous reconstruction
and patchwork. That is why The Bee

THE WAGES OF SIN.

Washington Herald: The lesson of it all
was told long, long ago in single SEN
tence-the wages Of sin is death
st. Louis Times; But the point seems TO
us to be not so much the final question OF
the guilt or innocence of this one person
but the fact that rich man accused OF
most serious crime has been arrested, tried
and convicted within less than two months,
In spite of the multiplicity of hish-prlced
legal talent at his command.
Chicago Inter Ocean: With the life of
human being-still human though most oe-
prayed-in their hands these Virginia
farmers were not ashamed to pray together
for divine guidance They were never IN
DISAGREEMENT. The proofs were to clear
and convincing They felt that they could
not do otherwise than condemn the &C
cused by the punishment decreed by human
and divine law for his crime.
Baltimore American: The appearance of
principals in unsavory cases on the stage
in any capacity and in moving pictures de-
serves all the denunciation it receives. The
influence of this notoriety and the COM
mercial value placed upon it by those quick
to take advantage of the unhealthy, NOR
bid public curiosity in such cases is about
the worst which could be brought to bear
upon young immature minds 1t lessons
their horror Of crime to see such an atmo-
sphere thrown around it, and it puts a
cash premium upon it's actual commission.
To healthy public opinion the exploiting of
this notoriety is nauseating. And in many
cases the sound public opinion has made
the commercial appeal a failure

Death Of Congressman Iatta.

While not unexpected. the death of
Congressman James P. Latta Of the
Third Nebraska district comes az a
shock to his many friends outside as
well as throughout the state. That he
possessed a host of friends and ad-
mirers made during nearly a half cen
tury OF residence in Nebraska was at
tested by the huge majority he ran up
on his last contest for reelection.
which represented much more than his
mere party following. These tributes
we're brought to him by his own
rugged character and sterling person
ality for he made no pretense at
either oratory or statesmanship. He
stood as a sturdy pioneer farmer
evolved into a solid business man with
a comfortable fortune by persistent
and well-directed effort and square
and honest dealing with his fellow
men. The high esteem in which he
was held by his colleagues in the halls
of congress is attested by the fact that
when the makeup of the committees
was under consideration at the begin
ming of the recent extra session he
was given important and keenly sought
assignments despite his open declara-
ton that be wanted no committee
places at all.

A Tuf1e Premature.

Nebraska's new commission plan law
went into effect July T. On the same
day The Bee started out it's commits
sion plan petitions, which had been
signed, sworn to and filed before the
month was up. The commission plan
election was held, after due notice, on
September 2, and the vote in favor OF
adoption recorded more than two to
one. So far, so good, since all the pre-
liminary steps have been thus far COM
pleted. The commission plan, however,
cannot become operative in Omaha I'M
til the commissioners are chosen and
installed, and the election OF commits
sioners cannot take place until next
April. April, 1912, is still six months
ahead of US, and while it is naturally
to be expected that possible candidates
for commissioners Jobs will lose no
time in getting busy, it is a tritle pre-
mature to become excited this early
over an event that is not to be pulled
off for weeks and months. The peopIa
OF Omaha have lot of things in sight
that will demand their attention in
the interval, and will have plenty Of
time to take up the matter of manning
the commission plan government after
some OF these more immediate and
pressing propositions are out of the
way
1t is a good rule not to try to cross
bridge until you have got to it, and
also not to cross more than one bridge
alta time. The Bee will not neglect
the commission plan proposition nor
overlook the reason for it, which is to
improve our city government, when the
time is ripe for action.

that IT is, the explanations are too

overproduction OF gold has been as
signed as the reason. In the first
place. however, it is not certain that
there is an overproduction of gold. il
by that we mean more gold than is

The annual output of all the gold

Kipl;ng as a Political Seer


That Rudyard Kipling has not made
a huge success Of dabbling in politics
must be due to the time and ways he
dabbles. Many years ago he under
took to tell Canada what 20 do with
it's tariff and provoked a mighty storm
of protest against his intrusion. Now,
be writes a labored letter to a Mon
treal newspaper from some remote vii
lage in England, presuming TO suggest
what action Canada should take on
reciprocity. Whatever Canadians may
think Of the advice, Kipling betrays,
not only his keen anti-American preju-
dice, but a density as to the facts in
the case, which is really surprising.
He has swallowed the old annexation
bogey-hook, bait and line, and warns
Canada that closer relations with the
United States now will mean vassalage
later Being so thoroughly saturated
with the old feudal notions, Mr.. Kip
ling is unable to appreciate that such
thing is impossible on this continent.
Appealing to Canada's pride with a
reminder that it is fast assuming 9arge
proportions as a nation, itself, he ehds:
why. then. when II has made itself
what it is, should It throw the enormous
gifts of its inheritance and its futn~c into
the hands Of a people who by thoir haste
and waste have 80 dissipated their own
resources that even before national middle
age they are driven TO seek virgin fields
for cheaper food and livinE7
Much OF this sort of talk will bring
aonther sharp recession in the tide of
Mr.. Kipling's popularity, which even
the acceptsbility OF his earlier works
has failed effectually to resist. He
evidently had omitted to inform him
self on the essential point that this
proposed reciprocity treaty, whether 1t
is to be regarded as good or bad, may
be terminated at the pleasure of either
country and that it does not bind
Canada forever and aye, as he seems
to think, in the avaricious grasp OF
more powerful nation. The conserva-
tives Of England who got Mr.. Kipling
to write his letter should have given
him better data from which to make
his argument.

A HAPPY LIFE.
Sir Henry Walton

Sir Henry Walton
How happy Is he born and taught
That serveth not another's will:
Whose armor is his honest thought
And simple truth his utmost skilll
Whose passions not his masters are;
Whose soul is still prepared for death
United unto the world by care
OF public fame or private BREATH
Who envies none that chance doth raise,
Nor vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise:
Nor rules of state, but rules of good
Who hath his life from rumors freed:
Whose conscience Is his strong retreat:
Whose state can neither flatterers feed
Nor ruin make oppressors great;
Who God hath late and early pray
More Of His grace than gifts to lend
And entertains the harmless day
With a religious book or friend;
This man is freed from servile bands
OF hope TO rise or fear to fail;
Lord of himself, though not Of lands
And having nothing yet hath all.
