where Nebraska Republicans Lose Out.

The official pronunciation of the new appor-
tionment for the next republican national con-
vention has been made. the plan having been
ratified according to its terms by the republicans
in states representing 400 electoral votes or over
twenty-five more than necessary to meet the
conditions for its adoption. The announcement
enumerates the states that have formally ap-
proved the new plan but nowhere is Nebraska
to be found in the list, although our last repub.
lican state convention unanimously adopted the
ratification resolution that was offered. 1t
would seem that either the officers OF the COLI
vention neglected TO forward the properly certi-
fled copies of the resolution or the returns from
Nebraska miscarried somewhere and failed to
reach their proper destination.
The unfortunate thing about It is that II de-
prives Nebraska republicans of any share in the
prestige which the republicans OF other progress.
sive states will have for putting this important
reform into effect and 1t does this when our
state should by rights have been listed in the
forefront Of the reapportionment movement

Still Too MANY Bills.

The present legislature has been guilty of
the same fault that has marked it's predecessors.
in the introduction OF too many bills Even
were there urgent. or only reasonable, need for
all the laws and changes in laws proposed by
the hills presented It is humanity impossible to
give all the pending measures careful consider
alton within the time al its disposal. Many
good bills are included in the long list but these
are sure 20 suffer. because OF inadequate atten-
tion while many bad bills are likely to slip
through in the rush that is inevitable.
Half-baked laws which later require much
amendment TO make them effective. necessarily
result from this course. Other similar evils too
obvious to require specifying. also attend this
effort of the legislature to cover too much
ground. It's most direct, and perhaps danger
Gus. effect Is that the final determination of the
fate OF all measures save those for appropria-
lions required BY Law. win be taken out of the
hands Of the legislature and given over to the
sitting COMMITTEES. which thus becomes of para

HER EYES

What the color OF her eyes?
All. the fact II hard to tell.
There is ever fresh surprise
When upon those orbs dwell.
First, as darkest night they seem,
Then, a flash OF colder gray,
Next a sweet and tender CLEAN
AS Of heavens serenest ray.
What the color OF her eyes?
Changeeble as April skies.
When she puts her hands in mine
With a greeting warm and true,
Then her eyes, uplifted, shine
With the heavens reflected hue.
When ct parting, her white arms
Hold me close in loves embrace,
Not tho least among her charms,
Eyes OF brown, where Just a trace
OF tears beclouds their changing hue
Brown to black OF gray to blue.
When 1 look within their deeps.
Black or brown or blue or gray,
Flame OF love within them leaps,
Lights and shade forever play.
Blessed eyesi Their gaze is pure
Or In sorrow or in song;
And whene'er their pleadings lure
'Tis from evil and from wrong
Heaven shall keep her In it's ward,
And her eyes shall be my guard.

Chnnee for CommercIaI CIub.


OMAHA, Feb. 4--To the Editor OF The
Bee The Omaha Commercial club sent
strong delegation to Lincoln 10 support
the Greater Omaha annexation bill, hut
no one claimed that any advantage would
acerne To the state at large or that any
really great advantage would accure to
Omaha.
But now comes the Commercial club of
Alliance supporting a bill TO efficiently
promote industrial development in the
state OF Nebraska. It's influence for
commercial good might be made a hun
dred or thousand fold that Of any an
naxatlon bill ever dreamed of.
What will the other Commercial clubs
Of Nebraska do about Il? The question
seems warranted. A real opportunity
exists
OF course no Commercial club would
support 1t because OF political influence,
and it is, just barely possible that some
commercial clubs will oppose It (under
cover from narrow, selfish interest
There is probably no use holding back
for any OF our heretofore mighty states
men to become enthusiastic over it, be-
cause there are none of the usual reasons
why they should.
