All Ready for Canning.

A bumper crop of fruit is in prospect for Ne
braska, to judge from the laden boughs OF the
fruit trees in Omaha back yards. Ont. Looks at
the green apples and the cherries turning red
and infers that the orchards stretching north and
south along the Missouri river are doing equally
we'll, or perhaps better on account Of the care
taken in their cultivation. -.- -.
Grain and live stock form the principal part
of Nebraska's harvest, although the fruit grow
ers play Target part than is generally known.
The king Of fruit, as the apple is sometimes called,
brings good income to many farmers in the
region of Auburn, and heavy shipments are
made in the east, while from the fruit lands of
the Pacific coast come substitutes.
Taken the nation over, the fruit crop is
likewise larger item than might Be thought.
The value of fruit and fruit products on farms
in the United States last year was $52S,000, 900.
The apple output alone amounted to $l6300O,-
600 and grapes $6S50O000. Oranges were sold
for $64,000,000 and strawberries brought $4l,-

That was in year Of killing frosts, which
fortunately has been spared this time. Truly,

A Word for America.

THE United States is far behind other nations
in physical training" runs a newspaper state
ment. This is not true. In fact, it would be hard
to say in what desirable direction America is
outstripped by any other country.
The proof of our physical deficiency is not
to be found in the Olympic games where our
athletes meet the best that Europe can provide
1t is not to be found in the record of our troops
abroad 1t is not to be found in the amateur base
ball games, the innumerablc track meets, the ten
mis- and basket ball courts, the gridiron, the SWIM
ming pools or the gymnasiums. Not even the
unfavorabe showing in the physical tests Of
drafted men proves lower standard.
In many foreign lands compulsory military
service has hindered the growth Of athletic sports
The ideal of strength plus skill nowhere is as
prevalent as among Our own people. From the
calisthenics classes of the schoolrooms to the
golf courses we are striving to develop the body
n proportion to the mind -. d.
I What the journalistic indictment was intended
to convey, no doubt, was not sense Of our
national inferiority, but that more might be done
along the line Of physical culture. That much
is true. Americans have not reached perfection,
physically, mentally or spiritually, However,
this gives no warrant for denying our very real
achievements. n e. 80 g. .~,,t+

Lending Their Ears.

Ever Americans without an ear for music
are able to recognize the national anthem, al
though it is to be suspected that many are in a
position similar to that of the man who only
knew two tunes Zone was Yankee Doodle and
the other WASN'T.
Little of such unfamliarity with one Of the
greatest arts will persist with the coming gener-
alton. It is fair to say. People hear more music,
thanks to the phonograph and the radio, than
they used, and most OF it is very good, too 9th
e,wise such contest as was recently held under
the auspices of the teachers college at Peru
would be impossible. ~,.-.
This was 4 music memory test in which an
orchestra played number Of classical selections
to an audience Of school children. Beethoven,
Brahms, Dvorsk, Gounod, Grieg, Liszt, Meyer
beer, Saint-Saens. Schumann, Strauss, Wagner
and Tschaikowsky were among the composers
who were heard. After each piece the children
were allowed few minutes to write down the
name OF the composition and of the composer.
The correct spelling OF the names counted also
toward the prize.
\ A surprising familiarity with the classics was
revealed in this contest which in itself served to
further the interest of the boys and girls in
music. When good -susic has become so much
part of their lives hat they hum OF whistle it
unconsciously then we may be sure that-the hold
of jazz and ragtime is being displaced.

Interesting Rule in Divorce Law.

A ruling by the supreme court of Nevada
that the state was not an aggrieved party in the
Pickford divorce case, and so could not inter-
yene to ask that the decree be set aside adds a
new principle to divorce law. Perhaps It would
be more accurate to say an old principle is ap-
piled TO divorce practice. The moral and not the
legal aspect of marriage is in question only. A
peculiar sanctity surrounds the institution, to
which the church gives not only approval but to
a large degree insists upon observing The state,
however, looks upon marriage as civil contract,
enforcble or dissoluble as other contracts are.
Where no public interest is at stake. the state
will not interfere other than to stipulate the man.
ner under which marriage contract may be
terminated or set aside.
Such course is in harmony with our theory
Of liberty and the responsibility of individuals,
but unfortunate developments have shown that
some citizens are disposed to regard with ievity
the obligations resting on them, and to indulge
their liberty by treating rather lightly the i'm
plicatons if not the exact terms OF marriage con-
tracts. Examples recently afforded have not
been especially edifying. The state has assumed
control of public and private morals in other
regards to an even greater extent than was
sought ID be appiiedein the Rekford ease there

Truth About the Tariff.

Even the most circumspect OF free trade ad.
yoeates occasionally blunders onto great fun.
damenta fact in connection with the tariff. Our
esteemed democratic contemporary frankly ad.
mits that
People have been coming to Wash.
inEton. British steel manufacturers. German
manufacturers. Italian manufacturers, and
they have complained that II the present
tariff bill goes through they will not be abs
TO sell their products here.
II the English and the Germans make our
steel products for US. our own mills will have
to close. Nobody disputes that. But the World
Herald goes on further:
Mr. McCumber and Mfr. Smoot and the
rest Of them know that things are different
now, that Europe owes us many billions
Of money. that Europe has come to be our
chief customer. the chief factor in keeping
our own prices up and our own wheels OF
trade humming, and they know that unless
Europe sells 10 us she cannot buy from US.
The argument in this is that we will sell our
wares in Europe while Europe sells its output
over here. A more transparent proposition never
stood on a Aimsier base. OF course we expect
Europe to pay its debts, but not at the expense
of American industry. II the plan outlined by
the democrats is followed, Americans will even
tually pay the whole cost of the war, not alone
the loans we, made to Europe. but Germany's
bill for indemnity and reparations to boot. The
prospect is pleasing only to democratic editor.

Three Important Decisions.

The supreme court OF the United States has
just handed down three very important de.
cisions. One OF these has to do with the re.
sponsbil,es OF labor unions for damages result.
ing from strikes; the other two deal with ques-
lions OF interstate rights in water Of streams
available for irrigation purposes.
In the first instance, that Of the Coronado coal
mines OF Arkansas against the United Mine
Workers OF America. the supreme court extends
the principle first laid down in the Danbury hat
ters case. In that it was the secondary boycott;
in the present il is a direct suit for damages
against the union. The court holds that labor
unions can be held liable for property and other
damages caused by acts Of members. during
strikes. This is sound conclusion, and should
have the effect of doing away with great deal
Of the disorder that has come to be all accompani-
ment Of the modern strike.
Chief Justice Taft. who delivered the opinion
discussed at length the question OF the stability
OF the national and international unions if the
unions were responsible for what was done, point
ing out that in common law unincorporated or
CARNATIONS could be sued as individuals but from
necessity of existing conditions it was utterly
impossible of doing justice otherwise than by
holding labor unions suable."
In one Of the irrigation suits the state Of
Wyoming was forbidden to interfere with the
use by the state of Colorado of certain waters
from the Laramie river. Justice Vandeventer
holds that the doctrine Of appropriation applies
in both states. In another, and similar suit, the
Colorado authorities are enjoined from interfer.
ence with project that diverts water from the
South Platte and uses it in Nebraska. These
suits are of importance because Of further settling
the law with regard to the use of interstate wa
tiers, a most important factor in the development
of the semi-arid region, where land is being re-
claimed by private enterprise and where water
rights have come to have considerable value.
Slowly but surely, the supreme court is,
;crystalnzing the law and making more clear and
certain its application. Its contribution to the
service of civilization is the more notable be-
cause Of the effect of its decisions, and the i'm
provcment that follows in their being adopted, as
better rules for the government of a complex
society" .'
