Rebellion Against a Bad Deal.

The last weeks political news makes it evil
dent that Nebraska farmers are not going to
be without direct representation in the July pri-
maries.
J. O.. Shroyer Of Humboldt, one Of the most
widely known farmers Of the state, has become
candidate for the democratic nomination for
United States senator. Petitions are being cir
culatcd to nominate c. H. Gustafson Of Lincoln,
president Of the United States Grain Growers.
Inc, for the same Office the republican ticket.
Meanwhile w. ]. Taylor Of Custer county has
filed for the progressive nomination for governor,
appealing to all loyal members Of the new party
to repudiate the bargain whereby an attempt
was made to have the progressives play second
fiddle to the candidacy Of ]. N. Norton, =
democrat.
OF the three the Shroyer candidacy is the
most interesting. Shroyer furnishes rallying
point not only for farmers who have been
fouted by Senator Hitchcock but also for
progressive and "dry" democrats, whether farmers
or not, who cannot forget Hitchcocks past record
and who see no prospect Of his reformation. The
Shroyer and the Taylor candidates. indicate
that progressive democrats and progressive
third party members are alive to the effort be-
ing made to bind them to support reaction
ary leader without return guaranty Of support
for the principles which they hold dear.

Cutting Out Duplication.

Missouri is hard At work drafting modern
constitution. One Of the proposals now before
committee of the constitutional convention is
interesting to Omaha. This reads:
In all counties having city therein con-
tanning over 100000 inhabitants, the city and
county government thereof shall be console
dated and the general assembly shall provide
by law the method Of such consolidation at the
first session after this action becomes effective.
Since St. Louis is already operating under a
combined city and county government, Kansas
City would be the only other place in the state
falling under the provision until St Joseph
grows up.
Taxpayers of Omaha, complaining under city
and county levies, would welcome such move
toward economy and simpliheation. Already
something has been done toward consolidation in
the treasurers and assessors Office. Junction Of
the Omaha police force and the Douglas county
sherif's Office could be made the next step, if the
inevitable process Of reducing duplication is to
proceed gradually, and not all at one time as the
Missourians would have it.

Canada and the Waterway.

Western Canada will be heard from on the
setback that has been given the Great Lakes
waterway project by the dominion government.
To the offer of the United States TO open nego-
tiation Of treaty authorizing the construction
OF the canals and dams along the St. Lawrence,
Premier Mckenzie King has responded that he
can not consider the proposal at this time.
The land-locked grain fields of Canada, like
the agricultural industry Of our own middle west,
suffer from heavy transportation charges. Pros
pect Of waterway that would bring ocean
freighters to their very gates was greeted there
as here with hope 4Ts
Opposition to the international project has
been strong in the port Of New York. which an
ticipated the divergence Of great quantities Of
export freight to the waterway Equally selfish
reasons have animated the opposition Of the
Canadian port Of Montreal. .
The province Of Quebec, with its two ocean
ports, has built up an immense business as the
point at which railroads and steamships meet
and exchange cargoes. Once these vessels can
pass the La Chine rapids and carry their goods
hundreds OF miles into the interior, the business
interests built up in Quebec fear for the profits
of handling. And Mckenzie Kings adn,inistra-
ton holds its slender majority Though the polit
cal support Of that province.
1t is fact that with ocean cargoes loading
and discharging at docks comparatively close to
Winnipeg, Omaha and Minneapolis the toll taken
by New York and Montreal would be reduced.
Measured on national or human scale, how
ever, there would be no loss but actual gain
from the shortening Of the freight routes
Such waste as exists in the neglect of cheap
water transportation on this continent cah not
continue. Western Canada is to be heard from
and the middle western states will back it up.

Ways to Farm Ownership.

Indicative OF q spirit OF fairness that will 60
far to upbuild the wellbeing OF Nebraska is the
| search OF the agricultural committee OF the
Omaha Chamber OF Commerce for satisfactory
lons.term lease. Back OF this investigation are
the ideas Of giving farm tenants q proprietary
pride and interest in the land. thus preserving
It's fertility. and Of charging the opportunity for
becoming owners.
Prof. H. {. Filley Of the state agricultural
college. speaking before the committee. made
the point that the government estimate which
lists 40 per cent OF Nebraska farms a. being
cultivated by renters 10 an exasgeration since
many OF the tenants are sons or grandsons OF
the owners. with the expectation Of falling heir
to the laad. While this 10 true. il does not alter
the relative position Of Nebraska with tenancy
figures for other states. The average the na-
ton over Is less, 1871 per cent. There are Is
states, most OF them in the east, but including
Wisconsin, Michigan, Washington and Oregon,
where all except l76 per cent of the farms are
run by their owners. ."'
The congressional investigation found that
these states are also the ones in which diversified
farming Is we'll developed. Farmers there sell so
per cent more Of livestock products. such as
milk, eggs and butter, than do those OF other
states. The roughage Of the farms and much
Of the crops are fed to dairy cows. Their dairy
output especially bring them steady cash in
come throughout the year, hence the need for
borrowing is not SO great and the security is
better. Accordingly, farmers there have better
credit opportunities for owning their own farms.
And tenancy in these Is states is less than half
Of what it is nationally.
A long term lease, or a partnership or stock
share lease might be expected to encourage d.
versi6ed farming and reduce tenancy.

Prisky Colts Of the Automobile.

A motorcycle rider, losing control Of his
machine, is thrown against brick wall and
suffers fractured skull. Unfortunate, Of course,
but he will get scant sympathy.
Many hundreds Of carefully chosen words
are used to explain in detail the traffic regula-
tions Of the city, but most motorcycle riders
appear not to be aware that rules Of the road are
made for their observance.
Every highway is speedway and crowded
intersections are exhibition stages; the pedes-
trian is matter Of no importance.
Efforts of traffic officers apparently avail
nothing. The only remedy, perhaps, is few
more brick walls.

THE OROWINO CHILD

The chief business OF a child II 70
grow and learn things.
Al these two trades the young one
works harder and succeeds better
than the adult does with his job.
For instance, tho baby has the
job Of increasing his weight 200 per
cent In a single year-of ending the
year three times as heavy as he be-
gan IL.
Suppose an adult had the same
job. He would Join q union. and the
union would limit this 10. say. 20
per cent.
Or. again. there are those who say
that the baby learns more the nrrt
day he lives than he ever learns In
any other day. and more In the hrst
year than ever In any other year.
An adult does not learn one-nf-
teenth a. much In q year.

have always said In this column
that babies. and children generally.

hot weather.
Every mother should have q
Erowth schedule for her child. and
she should try to zee that the time

Two or three recent reports are

opinion. Prof. w. T. Porter OF Har-
ward university. studying the growth
records of several thousand Boston
school children, found that the sea-
son OF maximum growth was from
September to January. The season
Of smallest gain was from February

A New Union Pacific.

The statement Of Carl Gray, president OF the
Union Pacific railroad, published in The Sunday
Bee. constituted strong appeal for the develop
ment Of the Union Pacific. Central Pacific route
from Omaha to San Francisco as an independ-
ent trauscontinental line.
Mr.. Gray confirmed ali that The Bee said,
At the time the federal supreme court ordered
the divorce OF the Central Pacific from the
Southern Pacific system, as to the importance
of the decision and its possible benefit to Omaha
In addition he pointed out that the terms under
which these two railroads were originally built
require their operation as continuous line Of
communication under cooperating il not identical
ownership.
The Union and the Central Pacific were
constructed under authority OF the Pacific rail-
road legislation, by which the federal govern
inent subsidized their building by grants of pub
lie land. This legislation provided that the two
roads be operated and used for all purposes of
communication. travel and transportation, as far
as the public and government are concerned, as
one connected, continuous line"
The supreme court has declared that owner
ship Of the Central Pacific by the Southern
Pacific is not in the public interest. It has ruled
that the Southern Paci6c's divergent interest,
due to its ownership Of competing line to
FL Paso and New Orleans, is contrary to law.
Accordingly, it requires the separation Of thu
properties.
Mr.. Gray says that the Union Pacific is will
ing to buy the Central Pacific line, from San
Francisco to Ogden. Whether it buys it or not,
he insists that the Central Pacific must be
operated as part of the continuous line from
Omaha to the coast. If it is Independent Of
Union Pacific ownership, it must be operated in
harmony with Union Pacific and not under
domination Of any competing route.
The hope Of Omaha is that the first alter
native be achieved, that the Union Pacific acquire
the line to the west, and that Omaha thereby
become the eastern terminus and headquarters Of
truly transcontinental railroad. BY that only
can the real destiny Of the transcontnental rail-
road. as dreamed by its builders in the years
during and following the civil war, be fulfilled.

The principles of the Nebraska parole law
are good but there still remains considerable
room for Improvement. The present parole sys-
TEN should be abolished and the power of par
doning vested in = commission Of three members
the governor, warden and the district Judge by
whom the convicted prisoner was sentenced,
and public hearing given in the county seat
where the prisoner was given his FIRST trial. This
measure would then prevent such blunders as
were made by the pardoning board at Lincoln in

A. F. Buechler: The Fred Browns and Beryl
Kinks are the only real benefciaries of the parole

carried out. State governors and parole boards
have thwarted more justice and exposed society
to more danger than have all the reds in the
country. The ndeterminate sentence law log
ically calls for paroling and pardoning to Be
done not by the governor or by board members
who do not know any Of the facts but by the

all Of the facts.
