Senator Hitchcocks newspaper is
way off when it charges The Bee
with contending that the filing Of
Mr.. Bryan's name for president will
keep him off the primary ballot for
delegate at large to the democratic
national convention, We don't be-
lieve anything of the kind. Submis-
sion to presidential preference vote is
not running for office, and we
doubt even whether the honor of
serving as convention delegate
comes properly within that category.
There is nothing in the law as we
read 1t to prevent Mr., Bryan going
as a delegate and instructing him
self for Bryan for president or for
vice president, too, for that matter

Suburban Wastes and Cost Of Living

Residents Of nearly every city in
the land know that Secretary Wilson
was talking about live subject when
he called attention to the great
amount OF waste land lying around
the larger population centers, and
urged their cultivation as a partial
solution Of the problem OF the high
living cost Some Of the effete might
object TO cornfields and potato
patches at the very door Of the town,
but they would be just as attractive
and ornamental and a thousand times
more useful than idle land covered
only with weeds and real estate
signs. Lots for sale is about all
that grows on many OF these sub
urban tracts. Some boomer has
plated" them and advertised them
as highly desirable residence sites
and In many cases they are and even
that would not keep them from being
also highly desirable for garden
patches and grain fields. But much
Of this waste territory is not properly
situated for immediate occupancy as
dwelling places and could be turned
into more profitable service IL Guilt
waited by the plow and drill and con-
verted into productive soil. Standing
idle II eats up taxes, while cultivated.
1t would be just as salable and at
the same time contribute to the out
put OF agricultural wealth. Utilizing
waste is economy and II this sugges-
ton OF the secretary OF agriculture
we're acted upon generally, 1t would
have very vital effect upon some
ones income and cost of living.

Value OF Fresh Air to Children.


The Survey Is authority for the
statement that results of the open
air schools in Chicago show that
their pupils accomplish in two-thirds
of the regular time as much as nor
NAL children ordinarily accomplish
when they put in full time under the
usual unsatisfactory ventilation con-
ditions OF school rooms and when
their habits outside of the school
room are without supervision.
The idea OF the open-air school
originally was to benefit children Of
tubercular tendencies and It has
vindicated itself, evidently. II Il
has done as much as the Surveys
report indicates, then It has done
enough to emphasize again the
necessity OF better ventilation in the
average public school. 1t is a sub
ject that has been much discussed
and not wholly without results. In
Omaha and other cities especial at
tention'is being paid TO the principle
OF ventilation in the construction Of
school buildings. There is no need
to have school rooms poorly ven
tilated. The O2en-air school is not
feasible or desirable entirely as a
substitute for the enclosed school
properly heated and ventilated. And
with increasing skill in the building
OF schools the demand for the open
air class room viii diminish
This is one OF the things which
the present age OF intensive effort
Will take care OF. It has already

opinion Of army officers who are sum

disclosed, according to the official report
of the hearings, that at least two officers
asked to be excused from answering ques-
tons pertaining to subjects under con-
aderation. one of these officers gave as
a reason that he had been Instructed"
as to the policy Of the War department,
which notice was evidently construed
as imposing silence. There are other

Disease a Factor In Living Cost.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 29.-To the
Editor of The Bee An Associated Press
dispatch from st. Louis. where l recently
spoke on the rise in the cost Of living,
has been going the rounds, making the
absurd statement that l attributed the
rise In the cost of living TO ma
laria, hookworm disease and alcohol
Whether or not this statement appeared
in your paper l do not know
! did not make any such statement,
but on the contrary, said that the cost
Of disease had always been with us and
was not in the least responsible for the
recent rise in the cost Of living or any
hardships connected with it.
! stated that the causes of the world
wide rise of prices were a matter Of
dispute and. that, therefore, there should
be appointed an international commission
to make an authoritative investigation o.
that subject
l am sending you a memorandum de-
scribing the purpose of such an interna-
tional commission. together with a list
OF names of prominent bankers, railway
authorities, editors, economists govern
ment officials and others from the United
States and other countries who have en-
dorsed the plan for such a commission
VIII you not bring to the attention of
your readers either through editorial
comment or otherwise, the subject of this
proposed international commission for the
study of the rise in the cost Of living?
Hoping that you will find it possible
to comment on this subject in your
paper, L am, Yours very sincerely

When wall Street Favored us.


once in a while II would be a good
idea for those in the habit of finding
fault with everything Wall street
does to stop and take account Of the
other side Of the argument. People
impressed with the evidence adduced
at the trial of the meat packers, must
have been interested to note the re-
pressive influence Wall street welded
on the packers plans at monopoly.
The request for $193, 100000 to form
their trust, Wall street declined. The
sum was cut to 100000 and still
Wall street pulled out of It. The
flnanciers scented a panic a little way
off and under the conditions did not
care to put up the money.
The promoters, evidently, had
planned to initiate their stock to un-
heard-of proportions by Wall street
assistance and then pay dividends on
the fictitious capitalization out of the
returns reaped from their monopoly
OF the meat packing business. Moth
ing prevented this, 1t now appears,
but Wall streets refusal to do the
financing
Here is one instance in the COM
mercial history Of a decade where
Wall street, usually regarded as the
perpetrator of our financial wrongs,
saved us from greater burdens.

To Antogranh Cnllentnrs

Under our Nebraska primary cleo
ton law by which a name may be
placed upon the ofilcial ballot as a
candidate for Office on petition signed
by twenty-five electors, or as a candi-
date for convention delegate by petit
ton carrying from 500 to 1900
signatures, a tremendous boom is
given to the autograph collecting
business.
The purpose of the lawmakers in
requiring these qualifying petitions
doubtless was to prevent overlooking
the ballot with Unfortunately pro-
posed names But, as everyone
knows, 1t is merely a question OF an
Industrious person taking the time
and going to the trouble to get the
autographs for a nominating petition
in almost any number, so that the
requirement of a petition may not
be expected to keep anyone out of
the running who wants to get in.
The difficulty seems to be precisely
the reverse-how to keep over
Jealous autograph collectors from
putting names OF men on the ballot
as candidates for nominations with
out their request or consent. For
example, Brother Charley" Bryan is
said to be much exercised over the
circulation of petition to submit
the name OF William J. Bryan to
presidential preference vote, and is
quoted in an interview as saying that
he hopes by persuasion to prevent
the filing OF the petition. Inasmuch
as there is doubt whether, once filed,
any legal authority exists for with
drawal, prevention seems to be the
only way. That was what was done
by the Bryans two years ago, when
petition. after being signed up, pro-
posing Mr.. Bryan for the United
States senate. was sidetracked and
suppressed.
nut the Iact must not be over
looked that the law makes It ineum-
bent upon everyone who procures a
nominating petition to see to il that
1t Is properly hled, and prescribes a
penalty for failure to do so. The
autograph collector, as the law views
him, is trustee for the signers with
the solf-assumed duty OF perfeeting
the nomination, and failure is rec
reancy to the trust, no matter
whether pursuant to the wishes OF
the nominee or not, 1t is hard to
believe that either Mr.. Bryan or
Brother Charley" would knowingly
ask the custodian OF nominating
petition to invite the penalty of fine
or Imprisonment in any such brNsque
fashion. The wise autograph collector

Prctexts of the Wolf.

SO the Persian lamb has insulted the
Russian wolf. 1t has the innocence to
believe that an international agreement
for the settlement of Persian finances
was intended to benefit the Persian peo-
Pile and the temerity to resist the force
with which Russia sought to correct that
mistaken notion. Opposition to the in
vader on Persian soil becomes an insult
to the Russian flag-one pretext is as
good as another to the victim that is
about to be gobbled up.

Trouble. of the Democrat.

Springfield CMass) Republican.
AS for democratic politics, the really
disturbing element continues to be Mr.
Bryan. He plans to write the democratic
platform, or to dictate what is to be in It,
Remembering that in democratic conven-
tons the platform is adopted before nomi-
nations are made, Mr.. Bryans tactics be-
come ineligible. He proposes to have a
platform adopted that none of the candi-
dates he opposes could stand upon. Let
no one assume that tribulation will be
confined to the republican side.
