APPLES-AND APPLES.

In a recent issue Of the Omaha
News Is a comparison OF the apple
crop OF Nebraska with other sections
of the country. and the statement is
made that. in 1911. Nebraska raised
more apples than the whole North
west raised m 1910. That is to say
this one state raised more apples
than the states of Washington. Gre
gon. Colorado. California. Idaho. Mon
tana and Utah. Ten counties in
Eastern Nebraska raised $4,000. GOO
worth Of apples alone. In the Grand
valley OF Colorado. land sells as high
a. ti.0eo AN acre. Five Nebraska
counties raised more apples than the
entire Grand valley. and did it on hun
dred dollar land" All of which is
probably true. nut there are apples

their products were either made into
cider or fed to the hogs Every fall
enterprislng Missouri apple growers
loaded up cars of their apples and
shipped them to the Nebraska apple
counties and sold to consumers liv-
ing in the towns who gladly paid a
higher price in order to get superior
article. And, as we have come to
know apples since living in oregon
they didn't get much for their mon
ey, even then. The grocery stores
carried large stocks of apples gener-
ally, but they were not Nebraska APP
pies because they couldn't sell that
variety. They were Michigan and
york State" apples, with some of
the choicest varieties from Oregon
and Washington. And the fact that
people would buy the Oregon and
Washington apples, paying fancy
prices for them, clearly demonstrates
why the land on which they were
raised sells for a higher figure than
the soil which produced the inferior
brand.
Nebraska is not fruit country,
nor it never will be so long as pres
ent climatic conditions exist there.
Sunshine, and lots of it, is required
for successful apple culture. Absence
of heavy. winds is another feature
that is needed and this is one partic-
ular in which Nebraska is not defic-
lent She certainly has the wind, and
at all seasons of the year, and hardy
must be the fruit that can Withstand
the continued onslaught of the fierce
"zephyrs" that sweep her prairies
with now and then a cyclone by way
of variation.
Nebraska is all right in some ways.
She can raise great corn and grain
crops and she has w. j. b., but she
isn't a fruit country-not by several

PREVENT THE CRIME.

No good can possibly result from
the publication of cartoons similar to
that which recently appeared in the
Oregonian relative to the murder of
little Mildred Green at Eugene The
Portland newspapers Well-knoWn an
tipathy for Governor West does not
excuse such horrible eXpositions of
the thought of the editor. BY infer
ence, at least, the illustration con-
meets Governor West with the trag-
edy in that it is hinted that his hand
saves the criminal from punishment
and hence encourages crimes of the
atrocious nature of the Eugene and
Hill murders.
No sane mind can really accept
this doctrine as truth, in the humble
opinion of The Observer. Does any
one for a moment suppose that
thought of punishment found lodg
ment in the heart of the brute who
committed the Eugene crime or was
the author of the Hill murders? If
it did he must have believed that if
caught, the temper of the public
might not be appeased until his life
less body swung from the crOss-arm
of a telegraph pole. Monsters who
commit crimes of that nature have no
thought of the hereafter and even the
certainty of the seVerest penalty that
could be imposed would not deter
them. In the South hundreds of ne
groes have suffered the sentence of
Judge Lynch for crimes of the most
atrocious nature. They have been
frightened and threatened as race,
until they are often on the verge of
collapse. They know that death is
practically certain for the ravisher
and the thug. Yet such extreme
measures have not stamped out the
crimes and lynchings are still COM
mon for the Southern negro.
Knowing the negro and his cow
ardice it would certainly seem that
he would be the first to remember
death at the stake or moose. The
death penalty is certain in the South.
yet the negro thug is still abroad and
perpetrates his crimes in utter disre-
gard of 1t.
What society needs is protection to
prevent the crime and save the lives
of innocent children rather than
lengthy dissertations on what shall
be done with the criminal, if caught.
And what we need, further, is the
certainty that the right man shall be
and that he must suffer
for his crime rather than be permit
ted to take advantage of every tech
nicality of a ponderOus system of
laws and court procedure, which may
lengthen his life or his freedom in
definitely.

HARD SURFACE SAVES MONEY
Money Spent in OiIing Would Have
Paved Long Distance.

DlStdHCN'
(To the Editor. If [ read cor
rectly, it cost Dallas $1213 to oil the
business thoroughfares and a few of
the residence streets-about $500
more than the highest published es-
innate of the city officers. While
am not prepared to say whether this
was a reasonable price for the SER
vice rendered, the fact remains that
$1213 was a large sum of money to
pay out for a temporary benefit of
something like 40 days duration.
Think of what lot of hard-surface
pavement that $1213 wauld have paid
for. Twelve hundred dollars worth
of pavement would have lasted for
20 years. With anything like a nor
NAL season, the oil will not be need
ed more than two or three weeks
longer. Surely, it ought not to re-
quire any great amount of argument
to convince the taxpayers of Dallas
that the pavement would have been
the better investment.
| object to the macadam streets
now, as | have always objected to
them, for the reason that in the bus
mess district, where the traffic is
annoyance and expense, and are both
unsightly and unsanitary as we'll /
have never yet seen a town where
macadam streets were anything more
than a temporary makeshift.
In the residence district where
travel is light, crushed rock streets,
when properly built, will serve all
purposes well for many years to
come. The Dallas council has dem
onstrated that oil will subdue the
dust nuisance, and this writer can
see no reason why the city itself
should not apply the oil next year.
Crude oil is not expensive, and it is
certain that the apparatus for apply
ing it could be built right here at
home.
If the council shall be able to
prove that it can oil the streets at
a reasonable cost, it will have rem
dered valuable service to the taXpay-
eIs. If it shall demonstrate that the
dust nuisance can be abated at a low
annual figure, there would seem to be
no reason why the property owners
in the residence district should be
burdened with the cost of the hard
surface pavement until such time as
they might Join in asking for the
more expensive improvement
But i'm the business district where
the lots are small-where each prop
erty-owner has but a few feet front
age at most there is absolutely no
good reason why the pavement
improvement should not be made
without unnecessary delay. If there
