The charm OF the quaint, old fash
Toned fichu is not to be denied, and
this summer fichus are to be much
worn with frocks OF thin, summary
material This fichu of white tucked
batiste and embroidery is combined
with broad sailor collar and the
whole arrangement fastens at the
throat with an old fashioned brooch,
the folds of the fichu being drawn
down and pinned at the belt line. One
reason for the almost universal be-
comingness OF the fichu is its v
shaped arrangement at the neck. The
V'd neck opening is much more apt to
be flattering to the face above it than
the round Dutch neck.

Alien Land laws

The author OF the measure before
the California legislature designed to
prevent japanese from owning land
in that state reflects a much more tenn
perate sentiment on the part OF the
people out there than was apparent
in the last similar effort to enact anti
japanese legislation. lie asserts the
belief that II the legislature passes a
bill conforming with the principle Of
the treaty between this country and
Japan It will not embsrrass the fed
eral government, and yet solve the
problem with which California is
wrestling. II such a way out is found
1t should be pursued. one essential
feature Of any such legislation must
be impartial treatment of all aliens
without regard to race or color
Arguing in support Of his measure,
its author, State Senator e. o. Larkin,
points out that Nebraska. Iowa. Mis-
souri,. Kansas, Texas, Idaho, Illinois.
Kentucky, New York and Oklahoma
have laws that prohibit unnaturalized
citizens from owning land that even
the federal laws themselves, under the
act dated March 2, 1897, prohibit all
persons not citizens and not declaring
their intention to become citizens of
the United States from owning land
in any Of the territories. He finds
another restriction to alien land own
ership in section 2319 of the revised
statutes prohibiting such persons from
on government land. He declares that
while our treaties with Great Britain
Russia, France and Germany particu-
larly mention the right to own real
property, our treaty with Japan gives
no such right to the orientals There
is no provision in this japanese treaty
for the ownership of land, though
there is for the ownership Of build
ings on land and also for making long
leases Of land
Senator Larkin proposes, therefore
that the state Of California prohibit
unnaturalized citizens from land own
ership as other states and the federal
government have done. Answering
the criticism that California seeks to
discriminate against only one class of
aliens, he retorts that that same class
has been excluded by the federal
treaty The problem is a delicate one
and should be handled carefully to
avoid needless offense to a friendly
power and to make sure of this assent
of the State department, charged with
the conduct of our foreign relations.

lation is enacted.

up, costly banquet and then mismanage

Philadelphia Bulletin. The managers OF

more have apparently found 1t easier to
put down the spike-tail than to suppress
discordant booms for 1912.
Louisville Courier-Journal: The demo-
cratic lean years have been long and
many but the bill of fare of last nights
canvas-back and terrapin feed at Balti-

many a long-felt want of the faithful.

ProduetiOn and Formulation.

The statistician of the Department
Of Agriculture announces that the in
crease in American population is not
outstripping the increase in farm pro-
duction, but that, on the contrary,
farm production per acre is begin
ming to exceed not only the normal in
crease in population, but really to ex-
coed the actual increase" This is
certainly an encouraging assurance to
lay over against those dark forebod-
ings that have been drawn by less op-
timistic painters.
For long time Mr.. Hill and other
long-distance prophets have been
warning the people against the day
when their farms would not produce
enough for domestic consumption
Evidently their warning has either
struck home or they have overdrawn
the situation Whichever theory il
correct it is gratifying to know from
official sources that a better balance
between production and population
has been attained, We know, then
that our farmers are finally learning
the lesson of intensive soil eulture\' for
our population strides have been Ions
and steady. 1t seems to us that this
is the most hopeful note that has beer
sounded on the subject and II ought
to encourage a greater effort thar
ever toward the perfection OF scientih,
farming.
Immediately after discussing tn,
production and population problem
the governments statistician takes VI
the subject OF the cost Of living. Til,
two are so intertwined that il is din
cult seriously TO consider one without
adverting to the other. The burdeT
OF the whole plea of intensive agricul
ture, Of increasing the acreage yielC
and improving the crops, has been the
relief from the hardship of excessive,
prices, or rather an equitable adjust

Lively Times Ahead.

1t is already evident that the next
democratic national convention is not
to be a one-man affair If present con-
ditions are a safe indication, it will
be of the old-time order, many candi-
dates and many battles and ballots.
1t will be a return to the days before
Mr.. Bryan had himself nominated and
renominated simply as matter of
form to ratify his automatic selection.
True, Senator Joseph w. Bailey an
nounced, with becoming modesty, at
that Baltimore terrapin supper, that
"If Champ Clark makes a better
speaker than Mr.. Harmon makes a
governor, we will nominate Clark for
president, and if Mr.. Harmon makes
a better governor than Champ Clark
does a speaker, we will nominate Mr..
Harmon for president" But every
body who knows Mr. Bailey knows that
the issue will not be left for settle
ment between Champ Clark and Gov
ernor Harmon. They might not even
be the two foremost candidates. Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, though studi-
ously sighted at that love-feast, is
still a possibility. And there are
others, several others.
So far then as candidates go, the
field will probably be full. Already
we hear rumblings of discomfort over
the cut-and-dried method of Champ
Clark caucus nomination for speaker
in the philippe of Representative
Dies of Texas. "Frame-up," fellow
worms" "Catilines incOg," 'conspira.

and-dried slate under the noses OF
gentlemen" are a few of the choice
phrases employed to characterize these
methods. Manifestly all is not as
serene as the democratic bosses would
have us believe. That is further ap,

Champ Clark method of tariff revision
and the general conflict in views or
this subject,
With a multiplicity Of candidates
added to a confusion OF plans and
ideas account must also be taken in
this reckoning of Mr.. Bryan and flu
ture developments. It begins to looE

In politics, as elsewhere, IT makes a
lot OF difference whose OK is gored
The democrats in the Montana legis-
lature have broken into print with a
resolution directed at the two Massa-
chusetts democrats who voted for the
retention of Senator Lodge, which de-
clares:
We regard any member Of any legislative
assembly who votes for one Of opposite
political faith for United states senator as
a traitor to his constituents and a man
unfit to remain as a member Of any egls-
lature.
Yet only this very week the demo-
cratic nominee for United States SEN
ator in Nebraska was soliciting the
votes of republicans, under no express
or implied obligation to vote for him,
but, on the contrary, morally bound to
vote for the nominee Of their own
party. The Montana democrats de-
nunciation is so unconditional that it
would put the whole Oregon plan off
watch along with the backsliders who
go over to the political enemy.

Home Rule aud Clean streets.


OMAHA, Jan. 2O.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: Whatever charter making rights the
legislature may grant to the city Of
Omaha this winter let us hope it gives us
the power to take care of our streets
Under present arrangements the city Is
unable TO keep It's thoroughfares in re-
spectacle condition. They are unsightly
and uncomfortable It Is the fault of with
holding from cities in our state the right
of local self-government, one OF the most
serious obstacles to we'll rounded growth
and progress we have to encounter. Has
the time not come when our friends out in
the state will recognize the injustice and
unbusiness-like principle of such proceed
ing? Omaha Is making steady and encour-
aging advances, but she will make much
greater Roadway when she is given the
right to govern herself as our citizens
know best how to govern. This street sit
uation is the cause Of much harsh criticism
from our visitors and yet no criticism could
be more unreasonable II the obstacles to
improvement are considered. We have good
streets; more paved streets than any other
city of similar size in the country, but we
are unable to keep them clean as they
should be kept for the simple reason that
our charter does not enable us to take the
work out of politics and appropriate suf-
ficient money for that purpose The legis-
lature has never given us a charter that
would let us clean our streets. We have
been like a 15-year-old boy wearing a 10
year-old boys clothes. They neither look
nor feel well and subject the boy to a
good deal Of unjust ridicule d. r. G.

0verdone Sentimentalism.

While our people are rightly
alarmed at the growing prevalence of
burglary, thievery and hold-ups in
Omaha, they should be reminded that
overdone sentimentalism has perhaps
had something to do with it. Leni-
ency toward offenders, led astray in
spite of themselves, is all right, but
the wholesale pardoning and parole of
willful criminals cannot fail to be a
stimulus to crime We maintain a
police force at great expense and exert
ourselves to catch and identify
thieves, and then after conviction let
them be liberated without punishment
If they can put up a plausible story to
the judge. Within the past year dog
ems of convicted criminals have been
granted immunity, some of them more
than once, to continue to prey upon
other victims with reckless disregard
to human life. We believe the law
vesting this power in a trial judge, if
tested, would be declared unconstitu-
tional as transferring the pardoning
power belonging exclusively to the
governor. But whether it is uncon-
stitutioDal or not, 1t ought to be re-
pealed.

Paul Morton.

The sudden death OF Paul Morton
former secretary of the navy and
later president Of the Equitable Life
Assurance society, comes home partic-
ularly to the people of this state who
had regarded him as a Nebraska con-
tribution to public life. Although
born in Michigan, Paul Morton came
in his infancy to Nebraska, where he
was raised and educated, and which
he always looked upon as his home.
Naturally, his remarkable success,
first in railroading and later in other
big enterprises, was watched with in
terest and pride by Nebraska people
generally. The call to a cabinet port
folio under President Roosevelt, after
his father had occupied a similar posi-
ton under President Cleveland, gave
him unique distinction, due, however,
to his striking personality, winning
the friendship and favor of Colonel
Roosevelt, rather than to any claims
based upon political service. His
early taking-off at the zenith of a bril-
liant career will elicit widespread sor-
row and regret.
