Mr.. BrYan,s Friends.

In connection with the allegation that Co
lombia has put up pot of 1000, 900 to Sc
cure ratification OF the treaty carrying a bonus
OF S25,000,0O0, interesting sidelights reveal at
least three of Mr.. Bryan's personal and political
cronies in rather favored positions Hannis
Taylor, former minister to Span former mem
her OF the Alaskan boundary commission and an
authority on International law, is Colombia's
counsel at Washington in the interest of this
treaty-bonus deal. This he admits, but denies
that he has been promised the definite sum Of
$I,oOO.OOO as his slice Of the bonanza IL he
lands 1t. Another friend OF Bryan's Charles
Douglas is employed as attorney for Nicaragua

Militants to Have a Hearing.

Premier Asquith's agreement to receive a
deputation OF East End working women in Lon
don and listen TO their plea for suffrage may
not satisfy the women, but It will at least put
q better face on the attitude OF the government
No matter what the merits or the outcome Of
the case may be. history surely will record some
severe structures upon the Asquith government
for the way in which II has met this epochal
situation. Americans, though deprecating the
wisdom OF all the Pankhurst performances
have from the first looked askance at the obvi-
ously stupid moves of the British government

have gone beyond all bounds OF reason In their
crusade. have disregarded and violated the law
and carried on an intolerable and indefensible
reign Of terror, but England seems at fault at
two vital points-first in not attempting to
avoid occasion for these outbreaks, and, second,
in not dealing summarily with those who re-
sorted to violence For the good OF all let us
hope that something looking toward a more
peaceful solution OF the British problem will
come out Of Il.

In Sore Distress.


The president of our local bar association,
who seems to fear people may forget that he
graces that distinguished position. seems to be
in sore distress. We fear something terrible is
likely to happen unless someone comes to his
relief He went before the last grand jury to
complain that ugly rumors" were rife about
crooked work by members OF the sacred legal
profession, and insistently demanded that the
grand jury cite every one and any who
might be supposed to know anything about any
lawyers who had engaged in any attempted
blackmail embezzlement perjury or frame-up
litigation.
To the great disappointment of the i'm
maculate president of the bar association, the
grand jury took him at his word, went after
what he said they should hunt, and found what
they went after. And still he is not satisfied.
Because the grand jury indicted some Of his pals
for crooked practices, he now wants another
investigation to find out why?
BY all means, let us have another inquisition
II that is what is wanted. The more the merrer,
and the more will be uncovered for the late

Alfalfa.


Ten Nebraska counties-Adams. Burt, Dodge.
Hall, Kearney, otoe. Polk. Red Willow, sarpy
and Saunders--haye. according TO the State
Board OF Agriculture. increased their combined
acreage OF alfalfa by per cent. OF 1917 acres,
bringing their total up to 116.SS6 acres II Is
interesting to note that according to the 1910
census, 4s,9s5 Nebraska farms were raising
alfalfa in 1903 The total yield was 1,522,136
tons off OF the combined area OF 6S5.2S2 acres
and the total value was $10.74S,s13. Since that,
OF course the price OF alfalfa has gone up.
Nebraska ranks second among the states OF
the union In the production of this king OF
forage crops, and It is cutting three and four
crops year AS to quality. our state goes into
first, instead of second, place. Now consider
ing that practically only $4,000 farms In Ne
braska are producing alfalfa as compared with
$4,000 producing corn and 1000 wheat II Is
not hard TO figure out that in a short time we
will rank ahead OF all the states in quantity as
well as quality II takes no adroit argument to
convince an intelligent farmer that there is big
money in alfalfa in Nebraska The next federal
census, we dare say, will show that this $IO,-
100000 annual valuation has been multiplied
several times. for by then We are going to have
vast amount OF new land under cultivation, as
well as increased acreage in alfalfa on farms
already highly titled.

OMAHA, June 10-To the Editor Of The

a former street car conductor in Omaha
and a resident OF this city sentenced to
two years In the federal penitentiary at

act for bringing his wife from Sioux City
to Omaha .....

cision could possibly be handed DOWN.

the formAlitles OF those high laws which
regulate sexual union?

reading the above clipping, and so--'otn

probation of such a law as convicted this

Note-The law prohibits the transporta-
ton OF woman from one state to the

OMAHA, June i9.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Reading Of the grocers' and butch
ers picnic day, am reminded:
About a year and a half ago one Of
several legislative committees appointed
for the purpose made report on an In
vestigation held In Omaha, and following
that report the house OF representatives
at Lincoln adopted a resolution, setting
forth that an illegal combine for the
control OF the price Of foodstuffs exists
in Omaha, and directing the attorney
general Of the state 10 begin proceedings
against the combine aforesaid.
Have you any record OF the attorney
general ever undertaking to carry out
instructions thus given him by the lesis-
lature?
few weeks ago The Bee exposed a
mess Of democratic political corruption
In Council Bluffs. giving names, dates
and places Attorney General Cosson Of
tho great state OF Iowa took charge Of
the affair and promised immediate in
vestigatlon and proper prosecution He
took charge OF the grand Jury, ousting
the district attorney Of Pottawattamie
county. and now comes forth the in
formation that Attorney General Cosson
was not prosecuting the election bribers.
but was busy securing indictments against
reputable citizens OF Council Bluffs for
constructive perjury in connection with
the circulating and signing OF saloon
