rhat enforcement MeetIpa.

KEARNEY. Neb.. Feb 15.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: According to your Lincoln
Correspondent the meeting held by Repre-
sentative s. c. Bassett at Gibbon Monday
endorsed that gentleman unanimously The
facts are that there was no endorsement
and what was intended to have been was
flzzle, During the meeting there we're
few nipples of applause. As ] sat with
Representative 7. D. Evans and near Hon.
S. G. Bassett I could easily note where
the applause started and how. A man sat
near Mr.. Bassett, after he had made his
speech there was no cheering while he
talked and after he closed, only when
Representative Evans was introduced). and
this man started the applause each time.
The cheering invariably died out before It
was communicated to the middle OF the
room. At the close OF the meeting some
one moved that Mr.. Bassett be given
vote Of thanks. Half the audience was
leaving and the remainder were rising
preparatory 70 leaving. No one paid the
least attention to the motion, and to the
best OF my knowledge, there was no second.
II was a prodigious feat OF Imagination to
dstort such a meeting into an endorse
ment.
At the closing Of the meeting one man.
and only one, came to MIR. Bassett and
said, I'm with you At least half dozen
men came to me when went into the hall
and said; I'VE are Mr. Bassett's neigh
bors, but don't think because we are that
we're with him. We're done with him
now"
A true report OF that meeting reflects no
credit on Mr.. Bassett nor. on Representa-
tive H. c. Taylor of Merrick, nor Repre-
sentative l. ID. Evans OF Adams. Each
spoke in defense OF Mr.. Bassett's action in
voting against capital removal. In refer
ing to the petition sent Mr.. Bassett askins
him to vote for the removal BILL to which
1000 names of voters all over the county
were attached, and which petition was so
signed in three hours, each speaker stated
that the Buffalo representative was a
courageous man because he opposed the
popular win" And in less than five min
utes the gentlemen would contradict them
selves by saying there was absolutely no
sentiment in favor OF relocating the state
capital
Representative Taylor stated, after the
meeting that he could go out into his
county and secure signatures to any kind
OF petition. While 1 think such a refiec-
ton on the intelligence OF his constituents
is not warranted, / speak for a majority of
Buffalo county electors when / say. that
he would receive a severe Jolt II he should
attempt to execute any such policy In this
county. ANTHONY NJ EASTBRLING.

Illogical.

When the direct legislation bill was so
drawn as to provide for constitutional
amendments by the initiative process II
was drugged There was no demand In
any party platform for such a provision.
All true friends Of direct legislation ought
to see to Il that no one mlsunderstands
what II Is that Is operating against the
enactment Of direct legislative law
Lincoln star
This criticism strikes us as illogical
and untenable. When the platform
makers proclaimed about direct legis-
lation they. of course, used general
terms to avoid the pitfalls which speci-
nc definition might have opened up,
but every one knows that the term,
direct legislation" as employed by
advocates Of the initiative and refer
endum, includes both constitutional
amendment and statutory enactment
So far as we can ascertain, every
state that has already adopted the
initiative and put It into practice, has
made It applicable alike to the chang
ing of constitutions and the chang
ing of laws, and there is really no
proper dividing line between them. The
purpose of the initiative and referen-
dun is to enable the people to get the
the legislation they want without watt
ing for the aid or consent OF any body
Of lawmakers on earth. Suppose a
case in which a measure is submitted
by the initiative only to succumb when
subjected to the test OF constitutional
ity, would not the next logical step be
for its advocates to initiate a consti-
tutional amendment removing the OBJ
stacles in the fundamental law in order
to make the original measure constitu-
tional?
If the popular vote OF approval is
the only requisite to sound and desir-
able legislation. no good reason can
be advanced why the same method of
initiation should not be employed for
putting constitutional amendments in
motion as for submitting bills to relo-
cate the state capital or establish a
new code of judicial procedure. In
view of the record of reform legisla-
ton which Nebraska boasts, achieved
through existing law-making machin-
.ery, The Bee has not been able to see
the need Of the initiative and feferen-
DUN ito restore popular government"
lin this state, But If we are to have
the Initiative and referendum, we
might as we'll take the tonic full
strength, as they have it in Oregon,
rather than diluted and adulterated
by amateur medicine mixers.

Heating Orchards by stove..

It was Kansas where the rainmaker
undertook TO thwart the plans of the
Almighty and take meteorological con-
ditions in his own hands. The rain
maker failed, of course, but not until
he had got to himself a great amount
of advertising and some more imme-
date recompense. So people have come
to look to Kansas for similar expert
ments and to look not in vain. others
have been made with more or less sue
cess, none more interesting, perhaps,
than one which a Kansas farmer is
going to introduce this spring. He will
attempt to ward off the frost by heat
ing his fruit trees with oil stoves. He
has an orchard of 500 acres and he
will use about thirty of these oil
burners, holding ten gallons of oil
each, to the acre. He believes the eff
feet will be entirely complete and that
his trees will come out OF the frost
season safe from all harm.
The principle involved is not new,
VI NOhAoNf AAbAh HLIhM
has long been used by orchardIsts in
Kansas and many other states, but
somehow the frost has succeeded in
nipping the buds, smudge or not. The
oil stove plan may prevent It. OF
course a large volume OF warmth and
a more evenly sustained temperature
will be possible by this plan and as oil
is a natural resource. abundant in
supply in Kansas, the expense OF the
innovation should not be prohibitive.
II the scheme proves successful in this
case, IL will be a great boon to fruit
growers and open up q new Industry
in the manufacture OF the orchard
stove. OF course il might be a little
difhcult to figure out a paying result
from the plan in states where oil is
not as plentiful as It is in parts OF
Kansas.

Nebraska and Reciprocity.


Notwithstanding realization that the
principal articles on which duties are
removed in the Canadian reciprocity
agreement are largely agricultural pro
duets which are the output OF our
farms and ranches, public sentiment
in Nebraska has crystailized largely in
favor OF reciprocity fact, more
favorable than was to have been ex-
pected. Just what has brought this
about. II ig dlfacult to say with pre-
cision. but most probably the feeling
that the protection offered by the tar
IN is not needed as against Canada,
where conditions OF labor and industry
are so nearly like our own The ten
dency OF food prices to fall somewhat
Is already in evidence. even now be-
fore the reciprocity agreement has
been acted upon, so the producer may
also look for a measure OF relief in
his capacity as a consumer
What then does Canadian trade ex-
tension promise as a countefbalance?
The agreement places on the free list
all timber, sawed lumber, posts, poles,
railway ties imported from Canada and
materially reduces the duty on laths
shingles and planed lumber Nebraska
produces no lumber at all and as we
must buy all the lumber we use from
outside Of the state any reduction in
lumber prices ensuing should be Of
direct and measurable benefit
Lumber and lumber products are
presumably our chief items Of gain by
this reciprocity, but there are at least
two others worth considering. The
agreement puts fish Of ali Kinds on the
free list. OF which our imports from
Canada to the United States are nearly
IS, 100000. A concession is likewise
made on barbed fencing wire and gal
vanized iron or steel wire which should
at least help steady the prices of these
staples used in farming and stock
raising and impress the farmer that
the trade is by no means all one-slded.
II giving free lumber, for which the
agricultural sections have long clam
ored IN vain, brings relief from the
high lumber prices and by competition
pulls down other building materials
and supplies, the benefits OF recip-
rocity with Canada will be tangible
even In Nebraska.

The Missouri CAPITAL Fipht.

Now that Nebraska's s0-called state
capital fight is in allegiance, perhaps
we might be interested ID turning our
attention to the contest down in Mis-
souri, to wrest the state house from
Jefferson City Since the fire that de-
stroyed the historic old structure, sew
eral cities have jumped out with bid
for the new seat of government.
st. Louis is among the number The
general proposition Is 10 submit the
matter to the people as soon as pos
sible. for the state will have need of
headquarters and cannot afford TO
postpone action, sst ~ 81. Z,
The Kansas City Star has rebuked
St. Louis for trying To lmpose on poor
little old Jefferson City during its az
Fiction and there is justice and sense
in the rebuke, From a sentimental
standpoint, no more than from a ma
terial standpoint. 1t would, seem rather
unfair for the metropolis of the state
to take advantage Of the smaller
towns misfortune. Take the capital
away from Jefferson City and it has
not very much left. But add it to st.
Louis and no one would be able to
discover the difference. AS the Globe
Democrat observes, that city is too
great to be hurt or helped by the ad-
dition of the state capital Why, then,
one is naturally constrained to In
quire, does the city make the effort to
get It?
But aside from sentimental consid-
Grafton, It would seem to outsiders
and It certainly seems 30 to Kansas
Cityans-that st. Louis is too remote
from a large and growing part Of the
state for the capital. That is one of
the arguments urged in this state
against Lincoln But 1t was urged by
the western part of the state which
favors geographical centering-the
same argument supporting a demand
for capital removal In Nebraska and
opposing capital removal in Missouri
