Apple Growing.

At the Omaha Land show and
other big exhibitions Of farm prod
ucts apples OCCUPY a large place in
the center of the stage. Special at
tention was devoted to apples last
fall and will be again this month at
the Omaha show and nothing so fas-
tened interest on the great west,
where these apples are grown, as this
exhibit. Some OF the fruit grown
along the Pacific coast northern
states is prodigious in quality and
size. Evidently climatic conditions
there are right for the apple. but
back Of these climatic conditions lies
scientific knowledge az to their cul-
ture. At any rate, land that a short
while ago was worth little is now
selling for fabulous sums because of
the apples It produces.
Right here In Nebraska fine fus-
cious apples are raised and they
make a profitable crop, as they do
wherever produced But our Ne
braska horticulturists are not devot-
ing the attention to the apple they
might we'll do and with profit. They
should produce the prize apples of
the Omaha Land show. The state in
spector of orchards and nurseries In
Ohio tells of a man in that state who
cleared 81 1000 on an acre OF apples.
and of another man who sold $4,000
Of apples from fifty acres Of land. He
says Ohio is an ideal place to grow
apples and last year produced a crop
worth 100000.
But what has Ohio that Nebraska
lacks for superior apple culture7
Even a casual observer must have no.
ticed that for several years apple
orchards have been becoming stead
ily more valuable to the man who has
one. This should have prompted
farmers all over this west long ago
to cultivate this fruit One effect of
the Omaha Land show would be to
stimulate interest In that direction,
not entirely in the fine valleys of
Oregon and Washington and Idaho,
but also over the fertile plsins OF

Where Relief /, Needed.

By laws enacted by the last Ne
brasks legislature the governor has
bean relieved Of a large part of the
labor formerly devolving upon him
IN connection with applications for
pardons and paroles, the Pardon
board being charged with conducting
the hearings and making recommen-
dations TO him upon each case. But
the time of the governor is still taken
up altogether too largely with a
similar class Of cases presented by
applications for acquisitions upon
Nebraska from other states for the
delivering up of persons accused Of
crime and the protests and objections
urged by the parties for whom the
requisition are asked. There In no
good reason that we know OF why the
requisftion business should not also
be handed over to a board properly
constituted with the governor merely
passing on the findings-in fact, the
same Pardon board ought to be able
to take the requisition cases as wen.
Here is a chance for the next legisla-
ture TO relieve the governor further
of detail work, and give him more
time TO devote to the really important
problems Of administration and gov
erBment

THE CITY's NIGHT.
Chicago Post.


We know the city, when At dawn
She turns sleep-hungry eyes on US
But through what trial has she gone
That she must waken, weary, thus7
We know her. with a laugh at noon
Her careless laugh at tolls unrest
Her smile that Ereets the twilight Groom
The shadows watt her from the west
We know the lights that flash and glow,
The gold and silver lights that gem
Her form, in woven loop and row
A girle and a diaden-
We know her singing and her smile
When night Is young and joys afisld.
But in the silent afterwhile
What brooding sorrow is concealed7
We know her lights die, one by one,
And darkness comes with solemn pace
To hush the revelry and fun
And draw a veil across her taces
And then the city lone and still,
Is hidden in her solitude,
What grief comes then her mind to fillf
Upon what sorrow does she brood7
We know her in her hours of ught.
Her times of restless work and praN
Who holds the secret of her night
When all the songs are swept awayf
Why should she, in the gray of dawn.
Turn sad, Sleep hungry eyes to us?
what soul trial has she gone
That she must waken, weary, thuse

Movement of Businesa

BY careful nursing, with untoward
influences eliminated, the business
condition of the country could soon
be restored to normal. Judging from
reports and statements Of Dun's and
other commercial authorities. Even
with many extraneous obstacles TO
meet, the movement OF trade con-
tinues encouragingly toward higher
standards. Dun's says, ''In spite of
war, Industrial disputes and other in
fluences tending TO impair confidence
and retard enterprise, the movement
Of trade continues large, although
stin below producing capacity and
the recent gradual Improvement is
maintained"
II is extremely unfortunate to have
had train Of confidence shaking ele-
ments assert themselves at q time
when the tide Of commercial activity
was already low. though beginning to
rise. We may Judge for ourselves
how fast and firm would be the bust
ness Improvement II these outside
factors were withdrawn, or better
still. had not projected themselves.
II is giving business hardly a square
deal or q fair chance to Judge of its
tone under such circumstances.
The gains which are indicated
by bank clearings and railroad
earnings show what a struggle in
dustry is having to maintain a bal
anee between quickened demands on
the one hand and labor disputes and
slack trade on the other. Yot the
tendency is upward. which is some
encouragement, and our hope must
lie in our ability 10 steady business
conditions and strengthen business
confidence.

patents on the best shoe making ma
chinery. Most OF these patents have
expired and the machinery could be man

This policy practically annuls the patent

The State and Public Utilities.

The tendency toward state com
missions for regulating public utility
corporations Is quite marked. Four
teen states now have such commits
siOns with regulatory power over
companies supplying gas. electric
light. transportation, telephone and
water to cities, whereas five years
ago only two states, Massachusetts
and New York. had them. Twenty
seven states now have commissions
exercising control OF varied degree
over one or more classes OF utilities.
including steam railroads.
These facts and figures were re-
Gently recalled by Arthur 8. Huay, q
public utility expert of Chicago, at
the national convention OF the League
Of American Municipalities at At
lanta. as showing the tendency OF
legislation with respect to such bust
ness; showing that the regulation of
public utilities has emerged from the
domain OF public discussion and sx-
pertinent into practical usage. Those
who fear OF dread public ownership
may find in the proper regulations
under a system OF government con-
troll the desired goal. Public owner
ship often comes from corporate
abuse OF privilege. Il rests with the
corporate owner to say whether this
cause shall exist.
Mr.. Huey hits II pointedly when he
says, Most. efficiently and eeonomi-
caliy conducted as monopolles. pub
lie utilities are properly subject to
regulation by the state and by the
municipality" But even before that
point IN the process is reached. there
is that other primary consideration.
