Canton IN Voters.

Omaha, Nov. ITO the Editor Of
The Bee: In spite Of weighty issues
which must be settled by the voters
next Tuesday, affecting the country
and its international relations, there
is one question on the ballot which
means more for the future Of good
government in Nebraska than any
other. refer to the proposition to
call a convention to revise and
amend the constitution of Nebraska
The opposition to this measure ap-
pears to have faded away; it has
been endorsed by both political par
ties, and each straight party vote
should be counted for it.
Nevertheless, the proposition is too
important to be overlooked or lost
by neglect Voters who are scratch
ing their party ticket should see
that they vote in favor of the con-
stitutional convention.
But more important than all, the
election boards should be cautioned
to count in favor of the proposition
sometimes neglected.
In the days to come we will ap-
preciate more than ever the value
of constitutional government. The
German philosophy is turning out
to be correct after all, in way they
did not anticipate. 1t is to be the
survival Of the fittest! The cars
and bolsheviki, kaisers and anar-
chists, alike are found unsuited to
their environment and must perish.
The constitutional government, the
orderly rule by majority of the
whole people, most beneficent in
time Of peace, is proving victorious
In war.
We should strive to perpetuate
the blessings Of free government, by
bringing our constitution up to date,
removing its minor blemishes, and
making it fit instrument for the
government of great people.

What Republican Success Means.

Lake Andes, 8. D., Oct. 1910
the Editor Of The Bee: We are now
approaching the most critical point
In all Of the great world war-the
settlement. If, in the close of the
conflict errors are made and al
lowed to stand, they will be written
in blood in the history Of coming
generations. The world has paid
too dearly for the opportunity it
should soon exercise to run any risk
Of allowing deviations from the
proper path. The time has long
since passed when the world should
think of negotiating with a pre-
tended government on the inside of
the big circle of Prussian armies.
Remove the German armies and the
rest of mankind can counsel with
the, German people. Unconditional
surrender Of the kaisers forces will
open the only road to correct and
enduring peace. An armistice would
invite disagreement and leave room
for plotting, treachery, trickery and
deception
There was an armistice in the east
when Russia laid down its burden
and was taken prisoner and stabbed
with poisoned daggers. Common
sense forbids that the leaders Of en-
lightened nations should wander into
the wilderness where Russia was be-
trayed.
In substance Wilson asserts, that
republican success at the polls next

BENEFIT OF SHADE TREES
In Wisconsin Owner Is Given Annual Bounty of Three Gents for Each
 Rod of Highway.

The Wisconsin law provides that financial consideration may be given by the state to people who plant and cultivate trees by the roadside. Ev- cry person along or through whose lands highway passes may plant and cultivate on one or both sides of the road where he shall own land. trees of such varieties as commonly grow at least 40 feet high. These must be set two rods or less apart and in a row within eight feet of the outer line of the highway.
 When such trees reach 12 feet in height the superintendent of highways shall give the owner upon request a certificate accepting the trees as pub lie shade trees. Thereafter they be- long to the public and are protected as public property, but the title to them or to the fruit they bear belongs to the owner as long as he maintains the trees and replaces such as die. The owner shall receive an annual bounty of three cents for each rod of highway along which such trees are planted on one side and six cents If planted on both sides. to be credited on his highway taxes.

Prior to the war the strength of a bakery company was one officer and 6l enlisted men. On account of the increase in the size of division in our army it was necessary to draft new regulations increasing the strength of the bakery company to two officers and 10l enlisted men and increasing the equipment from F units to 15 units. or 15 ovens. On July 16 the bakery branch secured authority to proceed with the organization of these new bakery com panies. On August 20. 90 of the new bakery companies had been organized, equipped and trained. and were on hand to produce bread for the National army and the National guard. 4 Sample Days Rations
 Never at any time while the drafted men were assembling-and of course they reached their camps at all hours of the day and night-were the kitch- ems unprepared or unready to serve a hot meal.

New York.-The boys of New York have been getting better gradually for the last ten years. The annual report of the Union settlement, which de votes it's efforts to South Harlem, where the boys are representative of the entire city. is authority for this statement.
 Gaylord s. White. secretary of the settlement, has several theories.
 Thousands of boys have been so- bcred by the departure of older broth CTS for war service" said Mr. White, "and the work of the junior police in the tenement districts has Quieted an- other large detachment of potential mischief-makers. Things that were considered smart and amusing have lost their value In the boys eyes with the burden of war reflected all about them"

TAR AND GRAVEL APPARATUS
Device Invented by New Jersey Man ufaeturer for Heating Materiais
 for Pavements.

Enulating the famous hunter of the olden days who killed two birds with one stone. a New Jersey manufacturer has recently brought out combina- ton tar and gravel heater that heats these two dissimilar materials quite in- dependently but with one operation. The device, which is shown in the ac- companying illustration, is particularly fitted for street paving where block pavements with tar joints are laid.
 The apparatus consists of two main parts, a rectangular tar kettle and a Y-shaped gravel bin. with . furnace extending beneath both parts. from one end to the ether. The furnace Is fired from the gravel end of the de vice. The smoke and gases escape through an ordinary stove pipe in the kettle end. The inside of the gravel

and in consequence my husband could not accompany us. The colonel insist ed upon my taking my two children with us, although both were very small my little boy. John A. Logan. Jr., mere baby. However, he regard cd the trip in the light of an historic pilgrimage and felt that the children should see some of the battlefields over which distinguished generals had led their armies
 Tt was cold. bleak day on which we arrived in Richmond. and the ho- tel was Il desolate place of refuge. It afforded one of the evidences of the privations which the people of the Confectionery had suffered. These evil dences were very plentiful throughout the city. as We later discovered. The vehicle which Colonel Wilson found for our conveyance for the drive to the battlegrOunds nearby was wretched carriage drawn by two miserably poor horses. The driver was the picture of dejectiOn. and the small boy who served as footman was no better, and

 As We drove over the battlefields We observed colored people picking up the bullets and pieces of shell, shrap- nel, minnie balls. bits of broken can- non and other iron material. FOun- dries had set price on this product. and 1t afforded quite livelihood for a time fo the poor about fortified cities and battlefields.
 We visited the churchyards and cemeteries at Richmond and Peters burg made historic through the strug- gles which had taken place in and around those cities. There were a great many burial grounds in those neighborhOOds. because the globes, which were land grants from Eng land to the Episcopal church in America. had still existed as church grants at the time of the Civil war; and were used as burial grounds for the citizens and soldiers.
 Tn the burying ground near Peters burg We saw many hundreds of graves of Confederate soldiers. and they nearly all bore small, faded flag. and the dark. withered wreaths and remains of their floral decoration of nearly year before These mournful mementOes of the bygone tragedy of the South touched me deeply, and on our return home from the tour of the battlefields I told my husband of this tribute of the Southern men and women to their soldier dead.
 General Logan reciprocated my feeling as to the fitness of the senti- ment expressed. He said that it was a revival of the ancient custom. for the people of ages past In old countries had performed the rite of decorating the graves of their dead heroes with flowers. He considered the matter for a time. and then said he did not see why it might not be revived in the case of the fallen Union soldiers.
 General Logan. who was then con- mander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, decided that he would issue an order for the decoration of the soldiers graves on the following 3Oth of May. Sending for General Chipman, adjutant general of the Grand Army of the Republic. he die. tated order No. II for the first dec oration of Union soldiers graves which ever took place in the United States.
