The Lchi sugar factory closed its

There has been nothing unusual In
the run. II has been a little slower
than last year, but owing TO the high
per cent OF sugar In the beets and the
unexcelled extraction, the amount of
sugar turned out per day has been the
greatest In the factory's history. The
average of bects sliced has been up

best In history for the farmers. The
warm spring rains enabled the grow.

and the farmers get their beets out OF

Home Rule in Practice.

Just now Omaha people are being treated to
excellent illustration OF the application OF
home rule to their local affairs. Daily we are
RECALLED by published accounts OF what this or
the other legislator from the interior counties
thinks should be done for Omaha The vital af-
fairs OF the city's government, the admnistra-
ton of its several departments of municipal
housekeeping, all that concerns most closely the
citizens and taxpayers of Omaha, are being de-
termined according to the views OF nonresdents.
In times past the legislature has enacted laws
establishing a board for the control and man
agement of certain OF the most important func-
lions of municipal life, and has set that board
over and above all other forms OF authority,
making 1t a law unto itself, and responsible TO
nobody. And now the legislators in their wis
dom tell us that they can see no good reason
why the citizens OF Omaha should give them
selves any concern about the methods adopted,
or the results accomplished II this example is
not sufficient, are promised that others will
be provided, that the perfect beauties OF
omaha's situation will be plain to the property
owners OF the city. In time they may be willing
to lay aside their factional differences and par
tsan chickering's long enough to take advantage
OF their constitutional privilege to adopt a home
rule charter so that their affairs will no longer
be the subject of biennial discussion at Lincoln.
The state then may be relieved OF the RESPONSE
bility for directing the details OF Omaha's gov
eminent, and the people may really rule.

The Death of Dean Bessey.

The world has lost truly great man through
the death OF Charles e. Bessey, dean OF the
Nebraska College OF Agriculture. DR.. Besseys
services to humanity, through his contributions
TO the scientific knowledge OF the world we're so
extensive and beneficial that Il will be long
before his work is thoroughly understood or
fully appreciated. He stood foremost among
the botansts Of the day, and his researches, in
vestgatons and results. while not set forth in
SNOWY fashion, found their application and uses
in the practical work OF scientific agriculture.
His services to Nebraska in this field we're of in
calculable benefit. AS an educator Dr. Bessey
was efficient and popular The high standing OF
the College OF Agriculture OF the University OF
Nebraska may be ascribed to his personality, and
is attested by the enthusiasm and zeal with
which he inspired his associates on the faculty,
and the students who worked under them. His
passing leaves great gap in the army that car
ries on the peaceful and more effective warfare
in behalf OF humanity, but the influence Of his
leadership will long be felt.

For the Cause of Peace.

OMAHA, Feb. 25.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Can anyone who listened to the
mastery address of Mr.. Irwin Cobb at the
Auditorium last night find any excuse
whatsoever for any neutral nation or in
dividual who makes it possible to carry
on the terrible war one day longer?
The man or nation who furnishes am
muniton or food to the contending
parties is traitor to civilization and a
fit subject for execration.
Can anyone question the hypocrisy OF
those who say they pray for peace and
shudder at the horrors of this war and
still furnish ammunition and food to keep
W the terrible strife?
How long will the papers, the moulders
of public opinion, remain silent on the
crime of furnishing ammunition and food
to the warning nations? The people are
tired of the sophistries with which the
makers OF arms and the spectators cover
their nefarious acts.
IL the papers of the United States were
really neutral as they profess to be they
could not escape the conclusions that
true neutrality can only be achieved by
keeping our foodstuffs and our munitions
of war from all belligerents. II We do
not do this we will be caught in the
maelstrom OF war and We will cause
trouble at home between the various ma
tionaltes which go TO make up our citi-
zenship.
We have everything to gain and moth
ing 10 lose by keeping our breadstuffs at
home and disseminating the making and
selling of war material

Gag Rule in Congress.


10 the democrats in the senate are successful
in their undertaking to expend ninety-odd mil
lions day up to and including Saturday we will
be given the pleasure OF watching an effort to
overturn the ancient landmark of the senate, and
apply the gag OF cloture In the interest OF the
shipping" bill. This measure was put through
the house last week in a single day by the applt-
cation OF rule that transcends in its way any
thing in the history of legislation by congress.
II was reported from democratic caucus and
without ever being sent to a committee without
being considered for amendment on the floor OF
the house. and with debate on its provisions lin
tied to six hours It was passed by the pig demo-
cratic majority, just because the administration
leaders said Il must be passed. As yet IL has
not been considered in the senate. but an effort
is to be made to force Il to passage by shutting
off debate by cloture This will be a glorious
chance for some OF those senators WHO a very lit
tie while ago, were leading revolt against
Speaker Cannon and his committee on rules.
The democrats have restored freedom of
debate in congress in much the same way that
they have applied economy to government expen-
ditures

THE BOY.
" p. Willis

There's something in a noble boy.
A brave, free-hearted, careless one
With his unchecked, unbidden 10y
His dread Of books and love OF fun,
And in his clear and ready smile
Unshaded by a thought OF guile
And unrepre sented by sadness
Which brings me to my childhood back,
AS If l trod its very track,
And felt its very gladness.
And yet ii Is not in his play.
When every trace of thought is lost.
And not when YOU would call him gay.
That his bright presence thrills me
His shout may ring upon the hill.
His merry laugh like music trill,
And unheeding hear it all
For like the wrinkles on my brow,
scarcely notice such things now
But when. amid the earnest game,
He stops, as IL he music heard.
And. needless of his shouted name
As Of the carol of a bird,
stands gazing on the empty air
AS II some dreams were passing there
lis then that on his face ] look
His beautiful but thoughtful face,
And, like a long-forgotten look
Its sweet, familiar meaning trace
remembering a thousand things
Which passed me on those golden wings,
Which time has fettered now
Things that came DER me with a thrill.
And left me silent, sad and still,
Ana threw upon my brow
hOlier and gentler cast.
That was too innocent to last.
'Tis strange how thought upon a child
WILL like a presence, sometimes press
And when his pulse is beating wild,
And life itself ~ in excess
When foot and hand. and ear and eye,
Are all with ardor straining high
How in his heart will spring
A feeling whose mysterious thral
Is stronger sweeter far than all;
And, on its silent wing
How with the clouds he'll float away,
AS wandering ana as lost as they,

in the state should be proud. The real
estate men Of Omaha have not asked for
annexation.
"Neritas" thinks the unpaid officehold-
ers in Dundee and others are worse
political bosses than those Of the third
ward. He can choose his location IL he
desires. "Veritas" should give his name
for the benefit OF those political bosses"
in Dundee. II "Veritas" wishes TO give
the pure election law a chance. and
wishes to make conditions better in
Omaha. he surely should not wish to
unite South Omaha and the surrounding
suburbs. II Dundee politicians are so bad
1t surely would not help, and IL they are
not such, it would have no influence by
its 800 votes in Omaha elections.
Forcible anneXstionists have not yet
given reason for annexation. II will

more are likely to come II they can

that people ought not 10 insist upon.
Values have decreased within the city
limits south OF Dundee since its annexa-
ton by ordinance. but increased about
900 per cent in Dundee since that time
and because Dundee is a village.
Annexation is based upon selfish
motives and from a misunderstanding as
to results, and will work to the detriment
rather than the welfare of Omaha. Anti
annexation is based upon the love of
home and surroundings.

and venture to suggest your discussing
In behalf Of the passengers some Of the
aspects OF the jitney question as related
to the street railways. There is no city
in the United States where the street
cars are more comfortable, as a rule,
than in Omaha. What breaks that rule
and causes people to use jitneys is largely
uncivil or unaccommodating employees OF
the railway, with some aid OF the com.
pany itself. The company refuses to ac-
commodate north and southbound passen-
gers in the westerly part OF the city.
compelling them to come east to Six
tenth street and return west long dis
tsnces in order to travel a short distance
north and south. This congests with a
lot Of people that do not want to go to
Sixteenth street all the normal travel on
that street. The company insists on car
rying many OF its people several times
as far as they wish TO go. and then claims
that 1t cannot afford to carry passengers
seven trips for % cents. II by building
little additional mileage the company
would cut out this needless travel and
congestion, it would save money for it
self. and time and annoyance for its
passengers.
At crossings Of street car lines. IL
there is any way for a motorman 10 pre-
vent passengers from connecting with a
crossing car. that motorman will find
that way. He will keep the car barely
moving, so as to avoid opening the front
door for the transfer passengers. \ lot
OF passengers then stand cursng the rail-
way until the next car arrives. A COM
transfer car is at hand, would lessen
this trouble.
During the late severe snowstorms, in
very many cases, cars went speeding past

waiting exposed to the storm. The car

company and future passengers to the

past annOyances. Most of us do not
want any jitney arrangement to take

The Attorney General and the Commission.


Attorney General Reed has locked horns
with the railway commission over the matter Of
counsel in rate cases. Whether he feels, as he
intimates in his letter to the commission that
there is a disposition the part OF other Of
ficials al Lincoln to ignore him as the states
CHIEF law officer, need not be considered. The
railway commission is just now engaged in the
prosecution Of the defense against a movement
on the part OF the railroads TO secure increase
in rates. or in other words is defending the
people OF the state against an increase OF taxes.
II is the purpose OF the proceeding to determine
the equity and justice Of the railroad demands,
and not to establish the dignity and prerogative
OF any individual officer OF the state. The at
torney general received an unnecessarily sharp
retort from the railway commission, calling his
attention to the fact that the commission has
certain rights and powers under the law which
had apparently been overlooked in the attorney
generals office. It is unfortunate that any such
controversy should have arisen in connection
with so important matter The state OF Ne
