The Lincoln Journal tries to make
out that holding first place on the

and that II the ballot rotated in the
election as 1t does in the primary
the result would be different. This
assumption. shuts it's eyes to the
fact that Judge Dean. the only candi-
date on the democratic ticket who
came within gunshot, also held first
place on the ballot, and that rotation
would have set him back just as

HARRINGTON, Neb., Nov. Ito the
Editor OF The Bee: In the year 1905 the
writer was appointed by the governor Of
Nebraska as one Of the delegates to the
National Prison congress. The session
was held at Lincoln. l have always been
nadmirer of John Howard, because l
have regarded him as one of those rare
exceptions in the mass OF humanity, one
OF those unique persons, an absolute
altrmst. At that congress / offered the
following preamble and resolution.
Whereas, II is meet and proper to com
memoIate the name and services of the
lather OF prison reform; now therefore,
be It
Resolved, That we recommend to all
"a lsOn aeforn associations and societies
throughout the United states ard to all
friends of prison reform The proper OBJ
servance OF the second day OF September
OF each succeeding year, to be known and
designated as Howard day, the same
being the anniversary OF the birth OF
John Howard.
1 moved that committee be appointed
to consider this resolution and report at
the next convention. The president, a
beefy prison warden from some state
which n dsremember. either through a
desire to kin the resolution or through
ignorance OF parliamentary courtesy, ulu
not appoint me on the committee; and
that was the last heard of the resolu-
ton. In 1909. l happened to he secretary
Of the judiciary committee of the house
OF the Nebraska legislature and drafted
bill. which Victor Wilson. the chairman,
introduced, making Howard day a legal
holiday in all prison and reformatory in
stitutions in the state. This bill passed
the house, but failed in the senate. The
next session. at my request, James Mar
tin Talcott introduced the same bill. and
with characteristic energy pushed it to a
passage and approval; and it Is now a
law i'm this state. 1 wish every state in
the union would take notice of the action
Of Nebraska and follow suit. The effect
upon prisoners i'm raising their self-re-
spect and bringing to their minds the
work OF John Howard will have "A greater
effect for the reformation OF the human
race than anything I can conceive. When
men cease to glorlfy their butcher the
name of John Howard will stand out as
one of the great names in human history.

Nebraska,s Farm Outlet.


President Howard Elliott OF the
Northern Pacific Railway company
recently called attention 90 the fact
that the value of farm products in
this country last year was nearly
$4,000, zoe, 900, and that the farm s
annual crop value had nearly doubled
In the last eleven years.
That being the case, what should
happen In the next decade? The
farmer OF this country has advan-
tages and knowledge which he did
not have eleven years ago by which
he ought to far more than double his
output. He has at least q rudlmen-
tary knowledge Of intensive farming
and each year this knowledge should
grow and he has the advantage Of
certain governmental aid, as re-
clamation and irrigation In swamp
and semi-arid territories upon a
larger scale and he has larger and
better railroad facilities, therefore,
more advantageous markets But
aside from all this, and yet quito
part OF H. or, at least, consequence
OF It, he has access to an immensely
greater area OF land for cultivation
than he had eleven years ago and
each year this area will grow.
The farmer OF the rich and fertile
state OF Nebraska should mark these
facts, for they have very deep
meaning to him. Does he realize
that his potatoes, hay, alfalfa, rye,
barley, oats, wheat and corn in 1910
made up 1s.190,9T7 of that
$4,000, 100000 total for the United
States? This is taking no account Of
three OF the states chief industries
--dairying, poultry and live stock
raising, to say nothing OF fruit, all OF
which are products of the farm. But
these prodlgious figures have their
larger significance to Nebraska farm
ers only when used as the basis of
computation of what can be done in
the years to come, when more of the
great fertile prairies are brought
under conquest of the plow and the
sower and the reaper.
No state in the union makes a
stronger natural appeal TO the home
seeker today than Nebraska. Il not
only has the soil, purchasable at
reasonable prices, but II has the rail-
road equipment, the market and the
climate. than which there is no bet
ter.
Statistics show that Nebraska
farmers are not raising as much corn
and small grain per acre as they
were in 1879, but neither are the
farmers of Missouri or Kansas or
Iowa. They need, therefore, TO apply
the methods OF intensive farming
with more diligence. They have
made some Roadway but not enough
to get the greatest value out of their
land. OF course, It is only fair to
note the difficulty of making the
yield per acre keep pace with the
increase In acreage cultivation as
compared between now and 1875.
But the average acre yield OF grain
then was only thirty-two bushels and
no agricultural scientist will care to
admit that land like Nebraska's can
not reach that now.

OMAHA. Nov. i3.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: The Bce, Of course. II right, in a
measure, when it rays: "The divorce L.
the effect. while the evn lies In the
cause, and the cause is to be found very
often, In the reckless marriage but Is
not the reckless marriage. very often, the
direct result OF too easy divorce? II men

ton 60 wed than they would be II the
way out Of II was extremely difficult II
not wholly impossible. As things are,
there does not appear to be any very
urgent reason why ordinary people should
be other than reckless as TO marriage.
Divorce Is easy. IL is no longer a dis
honor to be divorced, with as clear a
field TO wed again as though the divorcee
were, instead, the faithful survivor OF a
former marriage which death dissolved,
not a divorce court. There are too few
consequences following any sort OF d.
vorce to make unprlnelpled people shun
1t. They are cordially received into the
most exclusive circles of society as
though nothing at all had ever happened
Even the correspondent, on account Of
whom a divorce was sought and given
may be the man whose wife she wronged,
without FORGETTING her social privileges.
She lost nothing at all that the world
could give, perhaps not even her own
selfrespect. She found her society friends
ready to make parties for her as well
as Christian minister TO marry her.
What did she lose in giving rein to pas
sion at another woman's cost?
II is difficult to see whence the remedy
for the divorce habit is to come so long as
the public conscience about it is as de-
based as It IS now. II Christian people
condemned II by word and act; IL they
refused to receive people into their SO

have anything to do with the remarriage
Of divorced people, there might be hope.
