Roosevelt Home.

Americans all welcome home former Presi-
dent Roosevelt from his somewhat perilous and
historical expedition. According TO all ac-.
counts he has made some history, changed a
map and brought back valuable additions to our
natural science museums.
And he is the same Theodore Roosevelt not
alone In the vigor of physical health, which is
especially gratifying in view OF the dangers he
encountered and suffering endured, but every
other way. His feet are hardly on the soil OF
his country till he has run the gamut OF COM
ment on the events OF the day. Yet he says he
has not seen a newspaper since he left. His
confidants are at hand, though, and with in
credible alacrity he gathers up the stray
threads OF things and masters the situation
With characteristic directness and assurance he
deals the administration a few passing blows
repudiates base canards about his own plans
and purposes and launches out on a campaign
for the future. AS soon as he returns from
SPAIN where he goes TO the wedding OF a son,
he will enter upon plans for his most compre-
hensive American tour.
There are those who imagined Colonel
Roosevelt would not re-enter active political
life.' runs the comment OF an exchange. As for
ourselves. we never dreamed there were any
such. As long as Roosevelt is Roosevelt he may
never be expected to do that. whatever his fs-
ture, his present is still occupied by a man of
almost superhuman energy, unusual powers and
great ambition, In the welcome home accorded
by his fellow countrymen goes a never-endinR
anxiety for his next movement

McReyholds and Light.

The extent and character OF the light MT
Mellen is shedding on the history OF certain
New Haven transactions must make the presi-
dent wonder why his attorney general was so
insistent on trying to keep Mr. Mellen off the
witness stand IL seems that Mr.. McReynolds
either has not read or does not agree with the
Let There Be Light" chapter Of THE New
Freedom" II he has never read 1t, It might be
commended TO him as very interesting reading.
That chapter concludes thus:
Wherever any public business Is transacted
wherever plans affecting the public are laid, or en-
terprise touching the public welfare. comfort or
convenience go forward wherever political programs
are formulated or candidates agreed onovers that
place voice must speak with the divine prerogative
OF peoples will, the words: LET there be ght!'
Surely the present is a case in hand. Mr.
Wilson undoubtedly adheres to the dictum so
boldly laid down in his famous book The at
torney general evidently does not. He has
shown the same attitude in previous cases, re-
sulting in such way as to indicate that a most
embarrassing blunder would have been made
had not the prosecution gone forward. And
such is the forecast in the New Haven situation
II is hard to reconcile the presidents we'll
known views on these matters with those of the
head Of his Department OF Justice. Many are
beginning to wonder II, when the first break in
the cabinet comes It will not be in this depart
ment

Our Mendelssohn Choir.

The annual concerts of the Mendelssohn
Choir of omaha and the Chicago symphony or
chestra proved a greater artistic success THIS
year than ever and 1t Is disappointing, u not
source OF chagrin, that they we're not better
patronized Several thousand attended each
evenings concert but not the numbers that
such a superb triumph in music deserves. The
Auditorium should have been filled at all three
concerts The character OF the music merited
that We may we'll indulge the hope, though
that another year may develop larger pride and
love resulting in larger interest Pride we say
for the choir is local institution and should
be a permanent one, evoking local enthusiasm
that would overrun the accommodations OF the
building.
Mr.. Kelly as the builder and conductor OF
Mendolssohn Choir, deserves all the praise that
Is 10 be bestowed on him, for what he has here
given Omaha; he deserves far more than he has
received II is not meet for us to pass critical
judgment on his choir; that has been done by
eminent technical critics and their verdict
stands the country over. The effect is to place
this choir at the top OF the list Of great choral
organizations. Certainly in conjunction with
the great orchestra from Chicago and the solo
lists who took part in these concerts II fur
nishes an occasion Of genuine art and delight
for those who love the rarest OF music.

Wheat Almost Perfect.

Within less than one month from harvest
time. Nebraska wheat, according to experts
shows virtually perfect condition. With no
radical mishaps in the weather line, they say we
should come up to the cutting season with the
most magnificent crop we have had in many
years. The spring has been unusually propi-
tious and the grain has had everything in its
favor. Only phenomenon Of some sort could
now materially affect the prospects.
The soil generally is in better condition now
than il was a year ago. True. as some of our
pessimistieally-inelined friends are prompt to
remind as, our excessively dry and hot season
OF 1913 set in after May of some very copious
showers. and by autumn the soil was absolutely
crisp. But II is generally understood that the
soil is very much better off now than it was
last May; It has far more asubmoisture to help
1t out. Should a very dry summer follow, il
would not, therefore. be as bad, according TO
this theory, as last year
But why cross bridges before we come to
them Let us look upon our wheat fields and
smile and be content with that.

other half pay double?

the tax is fixed 80 high they cannot pay

principal and yet live on a small part

on which he has a fine mansion, fur

sonal adornment of much value But Mr..
y has a lot with very modest little

just or reform?
Then there ls the vacant lot that IL

value in it was made by the community,
and II ought 10 get some Of II back in
taxes. Well don't they get their share?
/ have in mind lot in an eastern city

but today Is worth over a 100000, and

high valuation, IL you count the interest

compound e. where is the owners big
thing that he has not given anything in
return for II to the city? Our friends say,
give him dose OF single tax; that will
fix him. Let us see who It will fix. They
tell us II will force them TO improve their
lot Well, you are going to exempt his
improvements so he will just pay taxes
on the lot, and get big return out OF
his improvements The lot of which l
speak is now 10 have a 100000 building

Value Truck Crop.
The dandeion is not a native American plant hav-

ago. It first introduced in the east and has
spread westward with emigration. The weed is
common all Europe and has some into other
lands with settlers from the older country always
being found the communities of man.
The dandelion Is widely used throughout Europe
as a truck crop Certain foreigners recently arrived
America have continued to use the plant as veg
etable, and Italians in the nelghborhood of large
cities made considerable profit by gathering and
taking It to market.
Several places around Boston now grow the dande-
lion az a truck crop. The seeds sown in July or
August in twelve inches apart, and although

Genius and the Masses.

Genius and the Masses,
OMAHA, May 9O.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: Talent or genius is lightly eonsid-
cred 80 long as the individual possessing
iB not already known. Nearly every
body has read the effect this Disregard
has had upon individuals OF unequal tenn
perament "Bobby" Burns was a vic
tim to this, and as result brought. with
his selfish Obstructive habits, an end to
hts career. JoAn Keats was so affected
by the indifference OF his poetry that ne
died from the effects though he was a
consumptive. Shakespeare, who no doubt
was somewhat wealthy. did not fling his
genius upon his age, as no doubt he was
aware OF the indifference OF the people.
And so on one can name muititudes who
have been possessed Of unusual ability in
some certain line who have met the same
reputation, and more than ever ia this
true with men who have worked in the
field OF science. But after all these
men had passed away. the humanity spirit
manifested itself in noble statues and
memorial edition OF books.
But why genius should 80 often suf-
fer is somewhat simple. Men of genius
are tempered different from the masses.
They see, and understand. and no oppo-
sltion can blind their vision. They are inn
PEELED TO do works OF art and education
as a result OF knowing that they know
things as others do not know them. and
the others OF different temperament can
not fathom these minds, nor measure
their spirits because they. themselves,
have not the penetrating intellect TO do
so.
So much for men of genius Perhaps
genius is q silly illusion to the reader.
Very we'll. II Il Is such to him, he should
not worship the dead by erecting statues
In their memory. for by such actions he
