TAYLOR and tho University.

The gentleman from Custer wants to do
something to the University Of Nebraska that
will bring about the segregation OF the College
OF Agriculture from the other colleges of the
institution. His public expressions, in commit
tee and on the floor of the house. have not been
very coherent, nor do they definitely state any
purpose. but he has said enough TO warrant the
conclusion that his desire is to divorce the study
OF farming from the study Of languages, litera-
ture, mathematics and other forms OF polite or
scientific learning
If this be his purpose, Mr.. Taylor is working
along the wrong track. One OF the great ad-
vantages OF having the College OF Agriculture
connected with the other schools of the Univer-
sity Of Nebraska is that 1t permits the agricul-
tural student to gain a wider knowledge and
broader grasp Of other sciences than those which
pertain strictly and exclusively to farming. It
must be kept in mind. too, that farming today
consists of something more than the mere turn
ing over OF the SOIL planting of the seeds, Guilt
walton OF the growing stalks and harvesting Of
the crops. The properly equipped farmer is .
scientifically trained man. versed in the science
Of botany and its various branches, with a
knowledge Of chemistry and a working grasp Of
the fundamentals at least of animal physiology
and anatomy Some or these branches are
taught at the agricultural school, but others
must be taken in connection with the general
university course. II the divorce that Mr.. Tay-
lor pleads for is granted II would necessitate
duplication OF equipment, instructors and plant
to properly provide for the needs Of the agricul-
tural school. Other objections are obvious.
II is plain that the College OF Agriculture
will suffer IL IL be segregated from the Univer-
sIty OF Nebraska The strongest argument pre-
sented in favor of the consolidation of the great
university on single campus, and one which
applies with as much force today as ever, was
that through that consolidation the students Of
agriculture would gain great advantage by rea-
son OF accessibility OF the other schools in which
they must take part of their work 1t would
be grievous mistake to deprive these students
of their opportunity to acquire elements Of
broader culture which should properly accom-
pany scientific instruction in farm methods.
Mr. Taylor's zeal is misdirected.
The university administration has little
cause for apprehension SO far an honest in
auiry into its details of management is con-
cerned but II has cause TO apprehend the effect
of making the university the subject of partisan
debate or division. Keep the university safely
out of politics, and 1t viii prosper in spite of
material obstacles

The Hotel Fontenelle..

omaha will formally note the opening OF the
splendid new Hotel Fontenelle this evening, and
with that ceremonial will mark the beginning
OF n new era in the citys life.
From the very beginning of things to the
present. a patriotism unquenchable has marked
the residents OF Omaha to the end that every
crisis has been met and every swell in the tide
has been turned to advantage. II was this spirit
that brought the Union Pacific terminals to
Omaha in the far past; It was this spirit that led
TO the fuller growth and development Of the city
in the sos IL was this spirit that. when the out
look was the darkest, financed and directed to
its magnificent success the great Transmissis-
sippi Exposition; IL was this spirit that built the
great live stock and packing industry here, and
that is making Omaha one of the great grain
markets OF the world II this spirit that has
made the Omaha banks and wholesale houses,
factories and retail establishments, solid and re-
liable institutions, and has given Omaha stand
ing in which its citizens have justfiable pride
When the tornado tore its way through
beautiful residence district two years ago, wlp-
ing out many lives and scattering in bits hun
dreds OF splendid homes the spirit Of Omaha
rose, and with the indomitable courage OF its
united citizenship, the city faced the crisis and
came out Of the wreckage fresh and fair. and
full OF a new determination And in that time
the Hotel Fontenelle was born. Omaha men of
means and public spirit have built this hotel as
an evidence OF the Omaha spirit II stands high
on the hill top, where 1t typifies the soul of
Omaha, courageously determined on further
achievement
To Mr.. Burbank. the manager, and his as
sociates. The Bee again says, You are welcome;
you will like Omaha. and as you share in the
prosperity OF the city. you will be glad your lot
has been cast among us"

The Railroad Campaign for Higher Rates,

The Railroad campaign tor hBner hates'
The Nebraska Railway commission calls at
tention TO the condition that has developed in
connection with the railroad campaign for in
creased passenger and freight tariffs. 1t is that
commercial clubs and similar organizations are
being persuaded by the railroads to pass reso-
buttons making requests of the railway COM
missioners that the asked for increases be
granted. The danger in this lies in the ex parte
presentation Of the plea. The Nebraska COM
missioners direct attention TO the fact that the
commissions OF fifteen states are now acting
together TO give calm and careful consideration
TO the railroad petitions and win be thereby
better enabled TO determine II the advance in
rates is justified For this reason II is sug-
gested that organized bodies of railroad patrons
exercise little prudence in connection with the
manifest effort OF the railroads TO enlist public
sympathy for their cause.

Utilize Water Power.
NORTH LOUP, Neb., Feb. 1S.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Suppose the present
legislature adjournE. not having passed
a few measures demanded by the people.
Their prospects as future officeholders
will be materially lessened. The power
full Hobbies want adjournment in hope OF
defeating those measures. Various men
OF the office-holding class have been
urging that water power legislation Is
uncertain, speculative and theoretical.
This writer is not the first to advance
the issue. Thomas A. Edison says:
I'm perhaps fifteen or twenty years
depending on the financial condition Of
the countrywide locomotive will pass
altogether out OF use. and all our main
trunk railways will be operated by cleo
tricity.
"A new fertilizer will spring into ex-
istence. containing a large percentage OF
nitrogen. This wifi be drawn from the
air by electricity and will be used to in
crease the arability of the land. Even
now this IS done to a large extent In
Sweden Cby government ownership.
IAN our water power will be utilized
by electricity to an extent now almost
unthought Of and will be used with great
advantage. both industrially and for
railroads.
Twenty-Five quotations from statesmen
and scientists of the standing of Edison
may be produced in strong support of
water power. The object is to keep down
legislation in order to monopolize the
country's resources. We have the rivers
with the power, there is no question, but
can we turn the power to electricity by
proper methods of engineering? The
proper way to find what may be done
rs to appropriate $4,000 and appoint a
competent man to do the necessary work
by which to find the engineering facts.
II the matter is placed with the Board
OF Irrigation, see that the state engineer
Is In sympathy with the public demands.
To do anything less Will mean failure,

heutenants, not for what they did, but

turc should not adjourn until these mat
tiers are fully adjusted. Opposition comes
