IN defense OF large combinations
that usually 90 by the name OF trusts.
a Wall street publication reproves the
American government for what it has
done and is doing TO control industry
by declaring:
We have n thIs country been trying to
suppress a world wide process which Older
nations recognize as useful and seek to
direct wisely,
It "a manifestly unfair to say that
the United States is not seeking to
direct wisely this very process. The
trouble is, Il Is not wise direction that
these interests want They prefer di-
rection that will allow them unre-
strained freedom in working out their
own plans We are reminded that
Germany and Great Britain sanction
combinations in manufacture and
trade that fix prices and limit competI-
ton. The Prussian minister OF com
merce however, could veto any pro-
posed increase in prices and eompetl-
ton IS subject to rigid regulations.
a German professor Is quoted AZ
saying that but for these comhina-
tfons Germany would now be In
dangerous Industrial crisis. because Of
the reckless speculation from unre-
strained competition The repressfye
measures adopted 10 the United States
have never contemplated the tiissolu4
ton Of Combinations, except In re-
stFaint Of trade, and no amount az
specious pleading is ever going to con-
yinea our people that combinations of
that sort are justifiable. It Is con-
tended that without these combine
tons prices might, by competition, be
forced so low as to wreck ali indus
tries. No such danger exists in this
country, II in any other. The only
solicitude we need to have about prices
is that they do not become inordi-
nately high and there is no DISPOSE
ton to make them Unfortunately how,
for this is not low-price country.
This Wall street paper says that
our Interpreted law has not recog-
nized that there may be good as we'll
as bad eOmbinations.' . Which, OF
course, Is a misstatement, Our laws
have plainly recognized that and Pres
ident Roosevelt preached It until IT
became automatic. The reminder is
thrown out that In spite of all our
reprsssive legislation, trusts go on
exercising sinister political influence
in this country, Yes, and that is one
Of the chief reasons why the govern

IN THE SPRING.

In the spring a poets fancy lightly turns
to thoughts OF buds
And the plowshare turns the farrOW for
the planting Of the spuds.
Maidens linEer on the bridges ..
Bonfres blaze upon the ridges
And our thoughts from things religious
no lightly turn to thoughts Of duds.

And the winds OF heaven go wRiins with

Then some warm night brings a chorus

And the poet comes before US with an

Something Wrong--What Remedy
The report Of The senate visiting
committee on the condition of a num-
Der OF Nebraska state institutions Is
the most iutslligeut document OF the
kind that we can recall, and the com
mittee should be credited for conscien-
tious effort and good intentions. The
report relates chiefly TO the physical
condition OF the institutions visited,
although IN one or two instances II
commsnts upon the work OF the insti-
tuition. The members Of the commit
tee are unanimous ia condemnation Of
the architecture end construction Of
the newer buildings with q FEW excep-
lions, and have found that Ia many of
these institutions a merely casual IN
spection will convince that something
is radically wrong.
Assuming that the structures of this
committee are we'll founded--and the
fact that 9 majority are democrats
criticising democratic as well as re-
publican acknowledgement forestalls a
cry Of partisanRhip--the question is.
what is the remedy? D. We do not Be-
heve any one persoh b at present
qualified TO give the answer. 1t is
plain that no Legislative COMMITTEES
deYoting few days At most 10 per-
sonal inspection can tell Just what
SHOULD be done. E tss5 +
The problem is much larger even
than IS indicated By this report II
embraces the whole field occupied BY
our state Institutions for the care Of
detectives, delinquents and Deepen
dents. and all the states educational
activities outside Of the State univer-
sity Nebraska has taken up one part
of this work after smother in response
to the agitati6ns OF some energetic
society OF organization, or to meet the
demand OF some town or county for a
state appropriation, without sufficient
attempt at correlstion, and making
then ut into a harmonious system.
AS a consequence we, havs at present
a haphasard, ilI-managed and poorly
housed multiplicity Of institutions,
none of them filling their mission as
well as they ought.
The Bee has this suggestion to offer
that the legislature empower the
governor to appoint q commission,
with authority to calI witnesses and
compel answers under oath to inveati4.
sAte tho whole subject Or our state in
situations for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning present conditions and future
requirements, their inertia and their
shortcomings, and defects in the laws
governing them, and to recommend to

for future deyelqpment We belieye
that II Governor AIdrich were given

teriaI available; whose personnel
would compel public conHdenee, ana
that no patriotic citizen OF Nebraska
could refuse to respond to such a
requisition. This task once performed

payers hundreds upon Hundreds of
thousands of dollars and be an infiu-
ence for good more far-reaching than

Even the antiquity Of the shamrock, In
vaFiably associated with 81. Patrick, b
assailed. The learned and painstaking DF.
p w. Joyce, says; 1t Is not easy 10 de-
termlne the origin OF the Irish custom Of
wearing a bunch Of shaTnrocks in the hat
on st. PatriciS's day-Maroh II. According
TO the popular belief II commentaries an
incident IN the life Of st. Patrick-that on
a certain occasion. when he was explain
ing the mystery Of the Trinity to the pagan
irish he took up a single shamrock and
pointed out the three leaves growing from
one stem 10 illustrate the doctrine Of the
three persons in one God. But this story
must he an invention OF resent times for
we find no mention OF II IN any OF the old
lives OF the saint. Neither are we able 70
say that the custom itself is OF any higher
antiquity; for. though Il IL now observed BY
me Irish all over the world. and though
r. Is mentioned BY few writers OF the
last 300 or zoo years-as for instance by
Thomas Diney IN 1870, who describes how
The Irish wore crosses and shamrocks on
II. Patricks day yet we find no allusion
to II IN ancient irish writing. For present
