tertainers they know how. 1t will
be pleasing to many to learn that
the company will return here in a
few weeks to again entertain them.

Some splendid street grading

the good work will go on unhinder-

been put in good shape. There
should be more attention given to
properly draining the streets and
the road beds would probably hold

Tree Planting for Service.

Arbor Day is still some months ahead, but 1t
is not too soon to commence planning for its
observation. The value OF carefully directed
arboriculture has been often and so fully dis
cussed by The Bee. that repetition OF the ar
guments in favor of the planting of useful trees by
Nebraskans might be tedious, IL they we're not
timely. Tree planting has always been i'm
portant to the people OF this state, but Il has
now more than ever an appeal to those who
building for the future. In the early days. trees
we're needed for shade. for windbreaks and
for various purposes that called for quick
growth rather than for permanent usefulness
Conditions have been established that make 1t
reasonable that more care should be exercised
In the selection of woods that are to be grown
with an eye to future rather than to immediate
requirements.
Nebraska's soil and climate are favorable for
the growth OF the most valuable forest trees
indigenous to the temperate zone. Experiments
have demonstrated this, and with the feasibility
OF the undertaking established, tree planters
should look ahead. directing their efforts TO the
development OF woods that will be OF service TO
generations yet to come. No better crop could
be fostered. Hard woods are OF slow growth
but certain of return. A little grove OF black
walnut. hickory or oak trees on every farm
would mean a wonderful asset to the state in
time, while the waste places could easily be
made to produce timber OF great value. Trees
planted along roadsidos may easily be made to
serve in time to carry a portion of the expense
of keeping up the road.
Sometime the state will take up The Bees
oft-repeated suggestion that 1t take up seriously
the work Of forestration and enter on the devel.
opment of an industry that will bring great re-
turns

The Republican Convention Call.

The PRONUNCIATION OF the formal call for the
republican national convention which Is to meet
ia Chicago. June Z, next is attracting attention
to the revised delegate apportionment adopted
last year and now incorporated into 1t for the
first time BY this apportionment the total num-
Der of delegates is reduced by ninety-three. prac-
ticaly all Of the shrinkage coming in the south
ern state representation, whose influence In the
party deliberations will be proportionately cur
tailed. The insular possessions are accorded two
delegates each, but without voting power. but
WILL II is understood appeal to the convention to
restore them to full rights and privileges.
The noteworthy thing about this call is that
IL is the first and only substantial step made by
any political party in the direction Of more
equitable apportionment. AS progressive meas
ure for popular rule, this republican innovation
outdoes the democratic party, anA the progress
sive party, too, for that matter, neither of
which have made any change in the ancient and
inherited system which both have so roundly
denounced
Attention is also being called to the fact
that the republican call is a broad invitation
not only to republicans, but also TO "all other
electors without regard to past political affilia-
lions who believe in the principles of the re-
publican party and endorse it's policies" to unite
in the choice OF convention delegates. There is
nothing new or novel, however, in this phrase
ology, for It has been copied in every republican
convention call since the organization of the
party. In other words, the republican party is,
and has always been, a truly progressive party,
built on a common belief in principles and
policies regardless of previous political differ
ences. 1t is party national and not sectional
and with open door-and this is its strength
and it's promise.

Federal Farm Loan Banks.

The administration federal farm loan bill has
been introduced into congress, but only meager
details OF its provisions are so far available. 1t
seems to be projection of the federal reserve
bank idea into the realm of agriculture, with the
intention Of loaning money for the financing OF
farm operations along lines similar to those that
now provide for the operation Of the reserve
banks in providing money for commercial pur-
poses. II this is true. good reason for estab-
fishing new form of bank is apparent. Amend
ment to the existing law would make the ma
chinery Of established reserve banks available
for IL is quite reasonable that money be issued
against the farmers security against that of
the merchant manufacturer The matter OF
length OF life OF loans thus made could easily
be adjusted 1t is only a step farther and on

Declaring that their gowns were

Each time there comes shift in style
To change the contour of the ladies,

y hhNtAe memory OF bhshop ScNunShs
OMAHA, Jan. $40 the Editor Of The
Bee: II is now a number OF years since
the autumn evening which added this
pleasant picture to my mental gallery.
Having gone with a companion on an
errand to the modest episcopal residence,
sitting so peacefully withdrawn among
the trees on its quiet corner, we pene-
trated to the library, and there, all alone
in the twilight shadows, sat the bishop
taking a lesson in Spanish. with his
photograph for sole instructor.
Not too absorbed to be hospitable. but
as simply delighted with his Language
school, as a studious boy, he quickly
turned on the lights, and the shrewd.
kindly eyes in his delicate, somewhat
ascetic face twinkled happily as he ex-
planned all the little mysteries OF the
teacher-machine and dllated on its merits
and efficiency. This was just before his
long journey abroad, which was to in
clude a visit to Spain. They said that in
few weeks of such study he gained an
excellent working knowledge of the Ian
guage. and that with other languages he
had followed the same method meeting
the same success.
A characteristic glimpse was this, and
one we Snall Rladiy TeCdh Oh lnt Niilillnb
human individual beneath the reserved
church dignitary. Always a student, al
ways ambitious and quick OF interest,
always keeping abreast of the times and
never losing the youthful spirit by reason
OF the flying years-so we shall wish to
remember him. So vivid, so forceful a
personality. It is hard TO accept the
thought that those quiet, tree-shaded
streets where he took his daily walks
will no longer know the tall, impressive
figure, passing back and forth between
his home and the cathedral of his dreams.
Keen and brusque of manner and i'm
puslve like his race, he did not always
receive credit for the immense warmth
and geniality beneath the surface. Strict
as he was and answering in his own
ideals and observances he was wonder
fully tolerant toward people Of other
creeds, meeting with a hopeful friendli-
ness even those who must have seemed to
him cropping in outer darkness and re-
spending promptly to the element. OF good
in every one.
Is IL not flower to lay upon his bier
that he Is mourned not only by those or
his own faith, but also and with as sin
cere a grief by many "outside the fold?'
of whom one ventures this little offering
OF remembrance to a great and KINDLY
soul entered upon its glorious heritage.
