For a Commission ON "Pork"

There is good deal to be said in favor of the
proposal, said to have emanated from the White
House, that a national commission dealing with
all phases of the rivers and harbors and inland
waterways and irrigation projects shall be an
thorized by congress. The only reason for such
commission is to take the pork" of sectional
ism and OF partisanship out OF the scandal that
arises from the passing of the average rivers
and harbors bill. 1t is easy to see that unless
the commission be made up of men who shall be
men truly national. its recommendations will be
of no more value than those of the present COM
mIttees OF congress based on the supposedly i'm
peccable reports Of the army engineers. If such
a commission be called into being however, and
If it actually does work the miracle of making
these improvements represent all that common
sense and sound principles Of transportation call
for and the local grabs suffer, then the in
jured can only blame themselves for bringing the
punishment that has been their due these twenty
years.
Experience shows that pork" dies hard 1t
is intrenched everywhere. And if one is to Judge
by the weak address OF General Bxbv, retired
before the recent Rivers and Harbors congress,
or the equally unsatisfactory address of General
Black, the present chief of engineers or the reso-
lutonS OF the congress itself. no one in or out
of the War department in or out of congress
dareS resist the local pressure, no matter how
much talk there may be about scientific methods
General Black, for instance, after saying that
while it could be demonstrated that the returns
to the people of the United States at large would
be greater by the Improvement of New York har-
Dor than by deepening the upper reaches of Cape
Fear river. then surrendered bodily to giving these
small local streams appropriation General
Bixby got rid of the pork" cry by saying there
has been nothing unworthy in the way Of rivers
| and harbors appropriations in the last six years
| To cap the climax, the Rivers and Harbors con
gress, after admirably recommending that
"a general plan be devised applicable to the
| country as whole, by which the most impor-
tant projects from the standpoint of national
efficiency, including defense and the needs of
| commerce, be selected, so as to fit into har.
monious and comprehensive system that fea-
ture of such system shall be Standardization
then stultihed itself by endorsing the annual riv
ers and harbors bills" as at present made up.
Naturally, the president, with such confusion
and such hopeless Bourbonsm before him ant
also with the evidence that something is surel,
wrong, turns to commission to save the day

Working Ones Way

The observation is frequently made that on
portunities for young men have become restricted
in recent years as result OF the growth of bust
ness. More and more frequently the complaint
is heard from young men that they have not the
same chances that their forebears had They
think it was easy enough for Lincoln to work
his way up from woodchopper to president. while
nothing like that would be possible today
Opportunity, now, heretofore is almost
entirely matter OF personal initiative As in
Lincoln's day, the young man who sits back and
waits for the proverbial knocking at the door by
opportunity is doomed to disappointment
In the annual report OF great university the
statement is made that in the year which ended
May 81, last, 7l8 students earned $lssOOO The
earnings averaged more than enough to paw tut
ton in the most expensive courses. The majorit,
were aided in getting employment by commit
tee, whose records show that since 1893 student
have earned at total $l,Sl4,0O0
The 7l8 students who thus worked their wa,
through college were made OF the right stuff

Fish and the Cost of Living.

State Fish Commissioner O'Brien renews a
suggestion to the people of Nebraska that they
fish for the purpose of providing food and not
for mere sport. He is following propaganda
set on foot many years ago by Lou" May, who
did more than any other man to get Nebraskans
interested in fish as food. 1t is not necessary to
raise carp or similar intoxicating fish, for the
noblest of fresh-water hnny tribes the black bass
and the channel cat, thrive in Nebraska waters.
Perch and crappie also do we'll in streams and
lakes, while the swit-runnnig streams in the cen
trail and western portions of the state filling
up with trout, and provide splendid sport as well
as dainty food.
The possibilities of the fish pond have never
been thoroughly tested by Nebraskans. 1t has
been proven that an acre in fish pond will pro-
duce more of real food material than can be had
from similar area through any other means.
Moreover, good dieticians alege reasons why
fish are deemed worthy Of permanent place on
the menu, while eminent Psychologists have en-
dorsed the Friday practice of substituting fish
for flesh as conducive to good health, no matter
what its religious significance may be. This is
another resource of Nebraska undevcloped

Go Slow on Unlimited Bond Issues.

Giving power to the municipal authorities to
issue bonds within limited amounts yearly for con-
structon work that must be planned ahead and
continue over long period of time may conduce
to economy but there is no such reason for bonds
desired for any particular one-time project on
which popular vote of approval can easily be
had To authorize unlimited bond issues for any
purpose subject only to veto by referendum, would
be merely to put projects OF the second class on
the same basis as the continuing projects on
which referendum can now be taken.
The fact is Omaha has not been unduly rcuc-
tant to vote bonds for any purpose answering
real demand on the contrary the general feeling
prevails that the participation of non-taxpayers
in bond elections increases the chances Of carry
ing the bonds and safeguards have been imposed
against reckless bond issues by requiring abso-
lutte majority of all ballots cast in general
election or two-thirds majority in special
election. Omahas municipal debt has been
growing apace and does not need automatic de-
vices to initiate it further.

Lieutenant Governor Howard's Inaugural.

Our penc-pushing brother, Edgar Howard
has redeemed our fondest expectations on assum-
ing office under the constitution. He has lifted
the position OF lieutenant governor from the
abysmal depth of fifth wheel to the wagon to
one of real importance. In notable address he
mparts to the senator's his conception of the Of
6ce and the duties OF the incumbent evncing a
remarkably clear understanding OF his RESPONSE
bties and prerogatives. His pledge to be gov
erned in the performance OF his duties by the
constitution may alarm some of his democratic
brethren. who have developed so marked an in
clnation to ignore that venerable document If
the new lieutenant governor succeeds in swing
ing them back to the straight and narrow path
along which lawmakers may proceed with safety,
he will be doing real service to the state Sena-
tors will profit il they take advantage of the ex-
perience OF their presiding officer and let him
use his editorial blue pencil now and again on

A Good Old Scout.

William Frederick Cody, better known as
Buffalo Bill" was first of all typical American.
He was emblematic OF the great west, OF region
OF mystery and adventure, and through his ef-
forts some taste of this was carried into the
haunts Of the older civilization. That the west
of Bill" Cody's boyhood no longer can be found
is not occasion for much regret, but men who
are not so very old readily recall experiences of the
sort that gave the great scout his prestige and
helped him along the way TO fame. For much OF
the stuff that has been woven into romance with
Buffalo Bill as the hero actually did occur. Peo-
pie who move through the tales OF Ned Buntline
and others OF the ilk really did live and move
and to some degree in the atmosphere therein de-
picted Cody was shrewd enough to capitalize
the interest thus aroused, and throughout two
worlds he carried the vanished life OF the rowdy
west, the cowboys and the scouts, the Indians
and the road agents and vividy pictured to null
tudes scenes that were not lacking in elements
OF fact
That Cody died comparatively poor man is
a tribute to his eminence frontiersman. He
was unversed in the ways Of business and made
bad investments But he had another quality OF
the men who made the west-his heart was big
and his nature guileless, and the wealth he won
went as easily as it came. He came up from the
condition OF poor, unlettered orphan to be COM
panion to the great ones Of earth: kings and
emperors welcomed him, and yet to the end he
was "Bill" to those whose friendship went back
to the days he celebrated in his showman's years
Such of these as yet live will mourn him with a
sincerity unknown to the friend of later times
who knew only the famous Colonel Cody and
had slight opportunity to become acquainted with
Buffalo Bill"
Nebraska had deep interest in him, for the
greater part of his active career was spent in
this state, which once honored him by election
to the legislature and also gave him his military
title Hundreds OF our pioneer citizens will sor
row that the good old scout, in the best sense of
the term, has reached the end OF the trail and
gone to his last sleep.

A Flower on the Bier,

Omaha, Jan. l0-To the Editor of
The Bee: Permit me to say word
out of respect to the memory OF the
late Edwin c. Hardy, with whom l
was associated in newspaper work for
number of years. Those who knew
him well recognized his ability as an
editorial writer and appreciated his
personal worth.
He was a gentleman of the old
school, man widely read, with a
faculty for reaching sane conclusions.
His editorials for the most part treat
ed Of national affairs, and at inter-
walls he would discuss international
politics. Most of his work presented
a fine finish in the matter of construC-
ton and bore evidence of a wide range
of knowledge.
He will be remembered in Omaha
as kindly. courteous gentleman of
rare mental attainments, whose liter
ary product entitled him to high rank
in the editorial profession.

MRS. DEE vINECORE.
Is Federal Road Law Constitutional ?


Silver Creek, Neb, Jan. 10.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: The doctrine that
the United States government has a
right to do whatever it may please
to do is a most pernicious one. Mem
bers of congress take a solemn oath
to support the constitution of the
United States. and its mandates are
just as much binding up them and
even more so, as upon the private
citizen.
The government of the United
States, as every high school boy is
supposed to know, is one of delegat-
ed powers and so far as the states
are concerned congress can lawfully
make no law unless authority for so
doing can be found in the constitu-
ton; while state, on its part, may
make any law it sees fit in regard to
anything whatever and so does not
conflict with some provision of the
constitution.
The power to build and maintain
public roads or highways is surely
one Of those powers reserved to the
states-a power held unquestioned and
in actual operation ever since the
adoption of the constitution more than
1875 years ago.
And now comes congress and by
means of the federal road law un-
dertakes in an indirect way to take
from the people this power over their
roads and place it in the hands of
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington. No matter what in their
speeches they may have said to the
contrary, congressman knew, every one
Of them, that they had no right to
do that, and for this, and other SINH
lar acts whereby the federal govern
ment is fast shearing the states of all
power and obliterating state lines, the
people ought everywhere to arise in
indignant protest.
Put in common, every day phrase,
this federal road proposition amounts
to about this: Congress says to the
people of Nebraska, I'VE know we
have no right to have anything to do
with building your roads; but you
have not sense enough to make good
roads, and even if you did know
enough you are too stingy to put up
the money to do it. Now we make
you this proposition: If you will con-
sent to letting the secretary of agri-
culture say what kind of roads you
shall have and boss the job of max
| ing them we will pay out of your
| own pockets half the cost of them,
provided you will put up for the other
half. If you will not do this then we
will make you pay as much as would
have been half the cost of your roads
to help build roads in other states,
while you get nothing" And thus it
| is that congress-our servants. if you
| please-would punish us-rob us of
our money-for refusing to permit
| them to rob us of our constitutional
rights as to our own local affairs 1t
| is understood, of course, that the
money congress would give us for
