FRUIT SEASON HAS OPENED
California Product Is Now On the
Way East.

The California deciduous fruit sea-
son has opened. The latter part of
last week the first car of cherries
left California for the east. In a very
short time the middle west will be
well supplied. Apricots, early plums
and peaches will soon be on the
market. Pineapples will come in
liberal quantities in short time.
The California fruit crop promises
to be large and quality of the best.
The season for early vegetables and
berries from the south is about two
weeks later than usual.
Texas has already begun to har-
vest and ship their crop of new
potatoes, and the crop is reported
extra good. The first shipments
left the state of Texas a week ago
which will put them on the market
in short tine. There is plentiful
supply of old potatoes still on hand.
Arkansas berries are on the market
and very reasonable in price ana
should go into consumption very
literally. The canning season will
soon be on in full force.

The creation of a federal depart

posed to hasten the reclamation of

country for which the National
Drainage congress recently took up

Congress there was informal dis

new federal department whose head

was formally launched by the Iowa
State Drainage association and it is
said that drainage association of
other state also may take it up. The
Iowa association adopted resolutions
which pointed out the scattered adj
ministartiOn of federal construction
and reclamation work, the fact that
their departments are not organized
to administer public works and that
they and public building should be
placed under the engineering or

is curious and instructive fact
said Mr.. Hamlin, that the only
from which it is seriously
to remove the protection
of the tariff duty is the one industry
in which the farmers of the west
are deeply concerned. The interests
of the small group of refiners in
New York would be served by such
action while the western farmers
and consumers would be seriously
injured. That this would be the effect
is shown by the report of the ma

say that "the industrial position of
refining deserves primary considera-
ton" AS a matter of fact the whole
agitation for free sugar has been
brought about by the New York

Public School Sanitation.

The school board is to be com.
mended for earnestly undertaking
the improvement of the sanitation
and sanitary arrangements of our
Omaha public schools. Not that our
school buildings here are behind
those of other cities, but that modern
heating, ventilation and plumbing
have made such strides that ad-
vanced steps must be taken to keep
up with them.
1t must always be remembered
that children spend as much, II not
more, of their daylight hours at
school than at home, and that their
health and physical comfort should
be prime consideration In both.
Whether sickness among children is,
or is not, due to unsanitary condi-
tions at school, there is no question
that good or bad school sanitation
has much to do with It's spread.
This Is one place where the school
board should not stop with halfway
measures.

Not a Very Creditable Record.


n" The democrats boasted they would
stand in this campaign upon their
record in the present session Of con-
gress. II they persist In 80 doing they
will be risking themselves upon very
thin ice, for their record is not very
creditable. 1t leaves off as 1t began,
trying to put Taft in the hole, .
with an assortment of hodge-podge
tariff bills counterparts of which the
president had once vetoed. The
democrats knew In the first place
that, since, the president was defi-
nitely committed to scientific tariff
revision, he could not, without self
qualification, approve catch-penny
measures.
In wasting good time playing petty
politics, the democrats have COM
pletely ignored the country's urgent
demand for legislation looking to an
adequate government for Alaska and
have but partially responded to the
imperative needs of the Panama. 1t
will take an unusual lot Of sophistry
for the democrats in congress to de-
ceive the people into believing that
they have served them faithfully and
not fought simply a sham battle.
