Nebraska Press Comment

Hastings Tribune: Eighty thousand dollars
for a hog barn for the Nebraska state fair is
what the Nebraska house decided was the proper
caper. 1t must be that Nebraska pigs are used
to being kept in parlor.
York Republican: Owing to the high cost of
chewing gum the state legislature thinks it neces-
sary to raise the wage of all the girls. The
chances are they will fix it so most of the girls
will not have anything do do but chew gum.
Nebraska City Press: The legislature prac-
tces economy by appropriating $4,000 for a fair
at haywood, Neb.-wherever that is. haywood
said It wanted money because the western part
OF the state wasn't being treated right. The pork
barrel seems to have been transplanted to Ne
braska.
Kearney Hub; 1t behooves the Nebraska leg
islature to get in line to share with other states
in the governments appropriation for road i'm
Improvement. The state can no more afford to pass
up that gift than it can afford to abandon its
own system for road improvement by the various
counties.
Loup City Times: Reports coming from Ord
show the town very much wrought up over the
murder of the little Parkos girl On account of
the removal of the murderer from that city, we
understand that petition is being circulated
to have the sheriff and county attorney resign be-
cause of misrepresentation as to the whereabouts
of the prisoner. When the first excitement dies
away and the people regain their normal feelings
they will regret their accusing the officials Of
misconduct because they insist on the law taking
its course.

What the Farmer Wants.

Central City, Neb., Feb. 21.-To the
Editor of The Bee: We have noted
with interest the program of the Rural
School conference in Lincoln the lat
ter part of this week. We wish to
compliment the leading spirits in this
movement for their interest In rural
school affairs We hope they will Join
with us in guarding against any COM
mercialism of the rural part of the
public school system. We trust they
will join with us in urging construc-
tive school legislation which will
leave the control and management of
rural schools in the hands of the To-
cal communities.
Inasmuch as we have rejected the
county unit plan, we propose House
Roll No. 586, by Oils. as the rural
peoples constructive substitute for the
county unit plan, we propose House
provides for the equalization of taxes
in rural districts and for the redis-
tricting Of rural school territory, We
endorse House Roll No. 70, by Reed.
for revision of the course of study
to provide for ten years Of work in
the rural schools. and House Roll No.
430, by Taylor, to make state levy
to encourage higher education in the
rural schools.
Back of these measures are the
farmers organization OF the state.
These measures are the crystallized
thought of the farmers organizations.
These measures are respectfully sub
mitted for the elaboration Of the
coming Rural School conference.

Makes the Boy Scouts His Target.

Omaha, Feb. 20-To the Editor of
The Bee: A friend of mine asked
me yesterday when 1 am going to fire
my Calling guns again and / told
him right away. From the numerous
compliments I receive by mail and in
person, it looks as If made good
many center shots, and some of the
shots are so true to the mark that
those who are hit squeal like stuck
pigs.
Some people took it as personal
affront when l called down those who
do not clean the ice and snow from
walks on sloping streets. l did not
mention names, SO they must have
felt guilty or they would not have
made so much fuss about it.
Another intimate friend told me my
writings read as If the words were
oiled by me as l use them, as the sem
fences run along so smoothly. If l
please so well as that l will now pro-
coed to fire my Calling guns once
more.
Since the beginning of the war in
Europe, the most dastardly and
causeless war of all history, we have
had it dinned into our ears about the
ruthless military system Of Germany
and of the iron heel of despotism that
has ground the people of Germany
down to earth and forced them into a
war that they themselves would have
condemned had they dared to do so.
We have been told that German in
fants in cradles have been taught war
from the time they first see the light
of day and that their first playthings
and toys consist of drum, guns, caps
and uniforms and that preparing for
war is taught them from the time
they first have any comprehension.
That is what has made Germany a tre-
mendous military camp and is the rea-
son the allies have such a hard time
to conquer them. In the last presi-
Dental campaign it was dinned into
our ears that Wilson had kept US out
of war, and that is the reason that
tens of thousands Of women voters
voted for him.
Now we see the spectacle Of the
manufacturers Of Boy Scout uniforms
booming the organization of Boy
Scouts In every part of the country
and to have them prepare for service
in case we have a war with Germany.
They almost invade the cradles Of our
citizens to form the Boy Scout or
CARNATIONS and we will soon be in the
same class with Germany, for we will
become a nation of warriors ready to
fight at any time the least excuse
comes for it

Washington.

Americans today more than ever in their his
tory reverently recall George Washington and
his inestimabe services to humanity. In all the
countrys history his exampleand precept, shin
ing brighter as years go by, have well served to
guide his successors, while his counsel has seemed
to grow in wisdom as experience accumulates.
1t is therefore most fitting that at this critical
time the words of our first president be recalled,
and the advice he gave be allotted full weight IN
determining our course. Not that Washington
sought to lay the weight of his dead hand on the
land he loved so well; no nober patriot ever de-
voted his life to his counrys service, nor ever did
statesman so modestly yet SO firmly admonish
his countrymen as to what his own life had taught
him might be expected, nor counsel more wisely
as to proper methods by which to secure the per-
petuity of the liberty he did so much to estab-
lish.
Washington was carefully conservative, but
he also was prudently progressive, He was not
militarist, but he did believe in resort to arms
to defend the liberties of the people, to uphold
the law, If need be, and he consistently advocated
proper preparation for the serious business of ma
tional defense. His maxim, an time of peace
prepare for war; is familiar to US all, and it is
inconceivable why a nation, pretending to so
deeply and sincerely reverence this truly great
American should persstently ignore his SOL
emn adjuration on this point.
Advice he gave as to our relations with the
governments of Europe looms larger today than
ever in the history of the country. Washington
laid no claim to prescience but he could foresee
that any meddng by the United States in Euro
pean politics invited disaster. This is as true
today as it was in 1896 He would maintain our
rights against the world, and that duty is no
more nor less today then when he delivered his
Farewell Address" in which so much of genuine
political wisdom is expressed in terms easy to
understand and apply.
In all the worlds history no nation has thrven
in all ways as has ours, nor did ever republic
before endure so long as has the United States.
Through all our growth we have not departed
from the precepts Of the first president; does our
destiny now require that we 60 beyond what
Washington deemed the limit of our safety?

Omaha, Feb. 21.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: The old proverb, "a prophet
Is not honored in his own country
Is fittingly illustrated in the article
in your paper announcing that the
Omaha street railway company would
try out some new cars with closed
doors on the rear platform, with a
view to seeing how the public will
take to them and also to prevent acct
dents Incidentally, this decision has
been fastened by possible legislative
action.
The prophet in this case is an
Omaha man, whose inventions and de-
vices covered these requirements for
safety and was tried out on their sys-
tenn several years ago 1t met gen.
eral approval and had the written en-
dorsement of the crews who operated
the cars during period of forty-ave
days. Its advantage over doors be-
ing no interference with ventilation,
quicker in action and no additional
element Of danger to passengers.
This safety device, greatly improved,
including platform guard, step and
motorman's danger signal and adapted
to the "pay-as-you-enter car or the
open summer car, lies dormant be-
cause the old saw says. mot in your
own home town" Now If they want
to do this, why not give the public
the best, boost Omaha and break that
old adage? o. T. G.
