state, and as il is applied will bring much re-

working quietly but energe,ically to attract pub

Baseball as Usual

Baseball levels rank in America. The office
boy sits in the beaehers within sight OF his boss
in the grand stand, and both, in critical moments,
shout aloud the pous hope that violent death
will be done 10 the umpire.
A president and his cabinet nudge one another
in the ribs at the Washington game. even though
the New York team which wrestcs with the de-
tenders Of the capital lacks the aid of the great
Ruth, sent to the bench for temporarily taintng
the national pastime with touch of super
acquistiveness
Baseball is fine American tonic. 1t will re-
main so as long as it is kept straight and clean.
In the achievements of the heroes OF the dia-
mond the people can see their own ambition for
physical prowess attained The players do for
them what they would give almost their all to do
if they only could.
The sport ought to live forever as the great
American institution. 1t will if its managers re-
main vigilant in keeping crookedness out OF the
damond.-New York Tribune.

Farmers and Motor Cars.

Nebraska specializes in corn, in hogs, in
politics-and in automobiles. The latest figures
give Nebraska tie for second place in the per
capita ownership of motor cars Iowa leads
with one automobile for every So inhabitants;
Nebraska, South Dakota and California tie for
second with s.3 people per automobile. Last year
California was second, with Nebraska third.
The leadership of Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota, coupled with the tendency Of California
to slip backward testihes to the practical use of
the motor vehicle. Compared with California,
few automobiles are used for pleasure exclu-
siveiy in these three states. The high proper
tionate ownership tells Of farmer demand which
means the use Of cars for practical purposes, for
hauling products to market for lessening the
economic losses due to time spent in getting
from farm to town or from house to distant acres.
That demand is permanent demand, for it
arises from a real need.

Comrades

When Justice Boyle Of the ehildrens court
decided on Tuesday that Tom, a l0-year-old boy.
should not be separated from his dog Rags dur
ing his stay in an institution to which he had
been committed as waif he showed qualities Of
heart which proved that devotion to the law
had not made him callous.
Boy and dog were alike homeless, the for.
mer turned adrift on the world. To Rags how
ever, he was beloved master to follow as long
as life lasted Ever since puppyhood on the
East Side Rags had been the companion OF Tom,
and it will be written in letters of gold in the
book Of good deeds that when there arose the
danger OF forced separation the lad refused to
go without his faithful dog.
Tradition and custom were alike shattered
when Justice Boyle signed the papers committing
Rags to the institution on Staten Island along
with his master, but nobody can fathon the joy
which his action gave to the devoted friends, for
which better days would seem to be dawning.-

Honor for Vice Presidents.

1t is proposed to rename some Of the larger
vessels controlled by the shipping board: At
present these vessels bear the nicknames 81 some
Of the states. This is objected to as infringing
their dignity-the dignityof the states that is. SO
it is suggested that these vessels be renamed
after some Of the presidents. Would it not be
better to rename them after some OF the vice
presdents? This could hardly be objected to as
undigni6ed and it would be far more educational.
The names Of good many of the presidents are
fairly familiar, but who knows the names OF halt
four-t was four, wasn't t?-who became pres-
dent upon the death Of their chief? We can not
think at this moment of any method SO well
adapted for suddenly raising the average Of what
is called general information in this country as
to name few we'll advertised ships after few
not very we'll advertised vice presidents. Incl
dentally the practice might attract bigger men
to the office than we have sometimes had.-New
York Evening Post

Gallery for Nebraska Immortals.

The Ravenna News, noting the proposals for
statuary at the new state house, suggests that
certain Nebraskans be substituted for Washing
ton. Jefferson, Jackson, and others. While not
agreeing with this entirely, for it is proper and
fitting that the eminent Americans named be
given place in the decorative scheme for the
new building. The Bee seconds the motion that
place be made for Nebraskans who have brought
credit to the state and honor to themselves in
public service. Nebraskans have not shown
much inclination to set up permanent memorials
for citizens who have given their time and ca
paety for public good, and this neglect has given
rise to the thought that our people are unap-
preciatve in this regard. The Bee has no
thought Of nominating those who deserve to be
honored, although it could fill considerable of its
space with names Of men who had large and
honorable part in building the state, in making
Its name known beyond its borders, and to whose
constructive efforts great deal Of present pros
perity may be ascribed.. Every Office and every
corridor of the new state house should bear evil
dence that Nebraskans do appreciate the service
of their public men. Such displays are not vain,
because they stand as continual reminders of
work done for the good of ALL and will be inspira-
tion to patriotic duty for ALL We do not know
how far the plans for providing for the deoora-
ton OF the new state house have progressed, but
hope that somewhere provision will be made to
properly honor Nebraska men and women who
deserve to be honored by the citizens of the state
they helped to build.

Our Own L.andru.

Omaha has just had the privilege of observ-
ing remarkable exhibition in the criminal d.
vision of the district court. A man accused Of
murder acted as his own attorney, and displayed
in . considerable degree familiarity with court
procedure, coupled with such shrewdness and
even adroitness in his defense as to attract at
tention Of able attorneys and much commenda-
ton from the laity. His plea was that he shot in
self.defense, coolly admitting that he fired the
shot that killed his victim.
An interesting problem is here presented. 1t
is either the honest, disingenuous effort of
man who feels he has right and justice on his
side, or the mpudent attempt of criminal,
whose effrontcry is such as will lead him to trhe
with justice in the hope that he may be able to
misiead the jurors and secure immunity for a
shocking deed. Whichever way it be considered,
the incident is comparable in some respects with
the recent sensational trial of Eandru in France.
There the defendant took/part in his own de-
tense, and regaled the crowds who gathered to
hear the proceedings by his arguments with the
presiding judge, with the witnesses, and with at
torneys on both sides. His conduct was such as
to bring a rebuke on the judge who heard the
case; the trial in Omaha has been devoid OF these
features, for the defendant has managed to keep
we'll within the rules Of decorum and order, al
though he now and then did take advantage of
seeming ignorance to plant an idea to his ad-
vantage before the judge could correct him.
Whatever the end of the case may be, it will
be remembered as one of the most remarkable in
the history Of our courts and it also does much
to discredit the old saw to tire effect that he who
acts as his own lawyer has fool for client.
Whatever else this man may be, he certainly is
not fool in the ordinary acceptance of the term.

America Thanks Its Stars.

Thus far most OF the attention oi the states
men at Genoa has turned TO the frantic eiior,
to keep the conference from falling to pieces.
This object perhaps will be achieved, but the
prospect OF any advanced step toward the re-
generation OF Europe is not promising
Viewed from this distance the disSenSion there
appears to arise from the unchaSened desire OF
each nation or each group 10 slip something over
on the others. Particulars are not needed. There
is absent that old-fsshioned conviction OF sin
that always is necessary for redemption. All ma
tons fall into error, and the preence that any
one OF them has a monopoly on either vice or
virtue can not now be maintained
Americans may thank their stars that PrcSi-
dent Harding did not accept representation in
this conference. The wisdom OF Secretary of
State Hughes note refusing to participate is now
clearly apparent. He wrote last month his
regret that the proposed conference is not
primarily an economic conference, as questions
appear to have been excluded from consideration
without the satisfactory determination OF which
the chief causes OF economic disturbance must
continue to operate, but is rather conference of
. political character, in which the government
Of the United States could not hclpfully partici-
pste.'
This government" Mr.. Hughes continued,
"can not be unmindful OF the clear conviction Of
the American people, while desirous, as has
been sbundantly demonstrated, suitably TO assist
in the recovery OF the economic life OF Europe,
that they should not unnecessarily become in
volyed in European political questions"
Europe, according to the somewhat exasper-
ated view of the American people, ought TO re-
duee its armies, cease TO issue fiat money and
practice economy that would fit its expenditures
to its income. The subject of reparations should
be opened up over the protests OF France. Mr.
Hughes was pointed IN his objection to any
scheme for obtaining special economic advantage
in Russia for any nation.
Foreign economists and statesmen recognize
that the only hope OF saving their whole policy
from impending bankruptcy lies in the participa-
tion of the United States in their affairs. But
their whole attitude is one making such help
impossible. The American note of last March
expressed the hope "that progress may be made
in preparing the way for the eventual discussion
and settlement Of the fundamental economic and
financial questions" That time will come, but
il il not yet, and it is we'll that those who urged
American attendance at Genoa went unheard.

reference TO egg rolling which has been found
occurs IN the Evening Star OF Easter Monday.
1874. and that reference has to do with some in-
terfuption OF the egg rolling q, the Capitol by
rufiians, The reasonable inference Is tina, the
custom OF rolling eggs al the Capitol was then an
old one. When Washington was young the
small. fenced park abou, the Capitol was the only
one in Washington improved with turf trees aud
flowers. Il was the habit OF school children TO
have an Easter picnic. and with their teachers

Capitol park. At the west front OF the Capitol
were steep sodded terraces. In sitting al the
top oi these terraces and eating their lunches. OF
which dyed Easter eggs formed part. some child
or children discovered that the eolored eggs
would roll down the terraces. In that way the
custom started and became part OF the Easter
festival in Washington. When the incident OF
1874 occurred there were several thousand chill
dren rolling eggs down the sodded banks. Con-
gress in 1875, noting that because OF the Easter
egg rolling il was hard to keep grass OH the ter
races forbade the practice, but egg rolling ies-
tiviiies were observed in 1876 and 1877 just the
same. On Easter Monday, 1878. the children
were turned away from the Capitol grounds
Some one thought OF the lawns and mounds in
the White House grounds. The word passed
from child TO child, and the march to the White
House was taken up. They invaded the execu-
tive grounds and began rolling eggs, and the Gus
