Nebraska Women At Chicago.

A mere man has nothing easy before him
when he sets out to follow the ramihcations of
the suffrage movement, and therefore it is wise
to take it as it is told. Thus it is, without any
pretense to detailed knowledge, that the male
portion of our states population is today step
ping softly and saying little Mighty few of
the men in this great and glorious common
wealth have ever thought that the women folks
were such capable leaders and genuine go-get-
ters as has come to the surface since the cele-
braton started over at Chicago. 1t does not
need adherence to the principle involved in
woman suffrage, nor absolute acceptance of the
dogma of the association, to understand that
Nebraska women have been influential and have
occupied honorable and arduous posts in the bat
tie that has brought the cause to victory. This
is established beyond peradventure by the pro-
ceedings, and the daily accounts coming to
The Bee from its staff correspondent are most

On the Making of Platforms.

When Chairman Hays Announced his COM
mittee that is to collate and codify material for
the republican platform, Mn Bryan, among
Others emitted the hoot of scorn. Platforms,
said the great commoner, should come sizzling
hot from the convention. Delegates, fresh
from the people, should express the sentiments
and formulate the issues. Just So And now
comes Mr.. Bryan, from one of hs' winter
homes, this time at Miami Fla, and with great
particularly proceeds to outline the planks that
are to be promulgated at San Francisco. These
may be incandescent, corruscating, even fluid
in the intensity of their heat, but they will en-
body the views of the peerless leader as he has
now prescribed them. Thomas Riley Marshall,
vice president of the United States, also has is.
sued proclamation stating what the platform
shall contain. Likewise, Governor Edwards of
New Jersey. By the time the entries close, it
will be found that the San Francisco delegates
will have to deal with considerable number of
self-appointed keepers of the democratic con-
science and any heat noticeable in connection
with the platform will probably be the result of
friction in driving it through dominated gath
ering. The Hays plan for deliberate action still
seems good

ROBERT S. TRIMBLE.

The worthy horticulturist has got heavy
job. He furnishes the apples, plums and
peaches for the mob. The cabbage and carrots,
the bananas and peas are not produced upon
the vines with soft and silken ease. He has
to start at sunrise with the sprinkler and the
hoe and give polite attention to each turnip in
the row.
He cannot. obviously, then, employ his time
and strength by marketing his produce in detail
of endless length He trusts to Robert Trim
bic, who accepts it in his care, the melons and
the cantelopes, the pumpkins ripe and rare, and
steers them to the places where they ultimately
meet the sorts of persons who desire such sorts
of things to eat
For he's smooth commission man of keen
and careful eye. The worm who pecks an apple
cannot hope to pass him by. He knows By
looking at barrel what's happening inside, and
senses just the policy that needs to be applied
to heave the contents on the dump or drop
them in deal, for farmers sometimes ship
some fruit too truly ripe to peel.
The soft and gentle profits which he hastens
to amass have put him in the circles of financial
weight and class. He took a trip to Europe
when the war was at its height, to boost the
welfare of\the boys whose function was to fight.
Among the, many Omahans of quality and edge
he holds place of prominence, we earnestly
allege. .I.

Where Was the SuQar?

According to the combined reports of inn
portatlons and domestic production there was
never before so much sugar in the United States
as last year. 1t has not yet faded from memory,
of course, that there was not enough in distr-
button to go round. There was shortage dur
ing the last half of the year, which at times
amounted to famine. O.
The reports do not mention the shortage,
much less explain it. To the sugar statistician
an enormous supply was visible" or available" )"
but SO far as millions of consumers were con-
cerned il was neither.
Exports last year amounted to more than
l,500000000 pounds, while the year before they
were below 1000000,000. An explanation of
sort may be discovered there. We are now
hearing that some of the exported sugar has
been returned to this country. This prompts
the question: Was the governments fixed price
primarily responsible for the reduction of the
visible and available supply by exporting? 1t
has been provedin other instances and in other
countries that, while the government may fix a
minimum price, it cannot compel anybody to
sell, or even to stock up with the goods.-Provi-

Parable of a Prodigal Father

A certain man had two sons, and the younger
Of them said to his father: Father, give me
the portion of thy time, and thy attention, and
thy companionship, and thy counsel which fall
eth to me-" And he divided unto them his liv-
ing in that he paid the boys bills, and sent him
to select preparatory school, and to dancing
school, and to college, and tried to believe that
he was doing his full duty by the boys
And not many days after the father gath
cred all his interests and aspirations and ambi-
tions and took his journey into far country,
into a land of stocks and bonds and securities
and other things which do not interest boy:
and there he wasted his precious opportunity OF
being chum to his own SON. And when he
gained money, but had failed to find satisfac-
ton, there arose mighty famine in his heart;
and he began to be in want of sympathy and
real companionship And he went and joined
himself to one of the clubs of the country; and
they elected him chairman of the house COM
mittee and president of the. club and sent him
to congress And he would fain have satisfied
himself with the husks that other men did eat,
and no man gave unto him any real friendship.
But when he came to himself, he said: How
many men OF my acquaintance have boys whom
\ they understand and who understand them, who
talk about their boys and associate with their
boys and seem perfectly happy in the comrade-
ship of their sons, and perish here with heart
hunger? / will arise and go to my son, and
will say unto him, Son. have sinned against
Heaven and in thy sight; am no more worthy
to be called thy father; make me as one of thy
acquaintances." And he arose and came to his
SON. But. while he was yet afar off, his son
saw-{,im and was moved with astonishment. and
instead of running and falling on his neck, he
drew back and was i'll at ease. And the father
said unto him: "Son, have sinned against
Heaven and in thy sight; am no more worthy
TO be called thy father. Forgive me now and
let me be your friend" But the son said: "Not

Ships at Junk Prices.

Bids offered at the auction sale of the Ger
man ships seized by the American government
indicate that the newly formed shipping con-
Germs are alive to the bargain instinct For
example, when the Leviathan was built its cost
was stated at $12,000,000, and estimates on its
reproduction at present prices range between
$25oO0,00o and s30,OOOOOO, yet this tremendous
vessel was grouped with six others, including
the George Washington and President Grant,
and $l4,O00,000 was offered for the lot Other
bids are in line with this.
Americans want merchant marine. 1t has
been the hope of most for years that our flag
would be restored to the high seas. Billions
were spent during the war to create ships, with
the understanding that when peace came they
would become commerce carriers under Old
Glory. Thirty splendid German vessels in
cluding the flower of the great Hamburg Amer
'ican fleet were seized by our government, a
magnificent nucleus for the new merchant
marine.
Many good reasons exist why the govern
ment as such should not go into the shipping
business. No good reason has ever been ad-
vanced why it should not foster merchant
marine, by favorable duties, subventons or even
by direct subsidies. But all of these combined
do not constitute any reason why certain great
shipping combinations should be given the
enormous favor that is included in the proposed
sale of great fleet at junk prices. If the
Leyiathan were piled up on a rocky lee shore,
with fair chance of being foated again, the
insurance company could sell the wreck for
more than is now offered for the vessel in going
condition.
Congress may have to act in some way to
aid the American shipping industry in peace
time Relaxation of the dry law may be needed
to enable passenger boats under the American
flag to compete with foreign-owned liners, and
other assistance may be needed. This fact,
however, does not justify the proceedings
which have marked the ship auction up to date

IN THE WAY OF A BARGAIN.

Introduction OF an ordinance looking to
abandonment OF proceedings in the way of ac-
curing the city gas plant for the people brings
\ups squarely point that may have been lost
sight OF. Messrs. Ure, Zimman, Towl and
Ringer rest their action on the belief that the
price fixed by the condemnation board is too
high. Mr.. Ure is quoted as saying that it is
excessive by the amount that it surpasses
the estiplate of the experts employed by the
city to survey the plant 1t is implied that were
the company to signify its acceptance of the
city's figures, $5,750000, the proceedings might
go on.
Against this Mayor Smith nterposes the
TACT that the condemnation board reached its
conclusion after full hearing and, consideration.
1t set price of $4,500O00 as fair valuation of
the plant. This is above the citys and below
the company's estimate. If proceedings are
abandoned by the city at this point the alter
native is suit to compel specific performance
ot~the contract contained in the determination
OF the voters to acquire the plant, or that the
company shall accept the city's Offer 1t may
well be questioned if either of these exactly
the city rests.
Admitting the motive that .actuates the ma
jorty of the commissioners, that they are look
ing to what is better for the city, we may also
question the form which their method of bar
gaining is assuming. When the citizens voted
to acquire and appropriate by exercise of the
power of eminent domain the gas plant Of the
Omaha Gas company" no price was fixed, nor
was it then or since expected that the value
would be determined exclusively by the city,
or that the transaction would be concluded on
take it or leave it basis.
If proceedings are broken off now, what will
follow may or may not turn out we'll for the
public. 1t is very sure that no reduction in gas
rate will ensue, and it is not at all certain that
new move to set price will bring any more
favorable estimate, 1t would seem wise and
popular move to close the deal and acquire the
plant without litigation if a course to such an
end is open.
