Tells OF New Forage Crop.

Newton. Tex-To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: / would be pleased il
you would let me tell the readers of
your most valuable paper about
Sakarino. the most wonderful variety
of cane in the sorghum family. Makes
abundance OF seed which are white.
similar to white maize or feterita.
and the heads are fully equal to
maize or feterita for stock feed or
poultry. while the stalk is sweet.
equal TO any and superior TO many Of
the saccharine varieties. Ii is one
OF the most hardy varieties of the
sorghum family. II makes and ma
lures early. producing large crops of
both forage and seed heads where
other varieties have failed.
1t makes syrup as bright as honey.
As n forage, it has the feeding value
OF red top. 1t also has the curing
and keeping qualities of red top or
sourless varieties.
In Texas have been originated some
of the most valuable varieties of both
grain producing and saccarhine sorg-
huns but 1 believe this is far superior
to any on account OF its making the
finest syrup and at the same time
producing more grain than the other
varieties and its earliness and hardi-
ness puts 1t in class by itself.

SEEKING THE BUBBLE. REPUTATION. .

Amy lowell distinguished as the high priestess
of libre, has her lucid moments. Underneath
the fine frenzy of poets mood Turks the saving
grace of common mated to fine ideals. That
is why Amy can come back at an emancipated female
in these terms:
IF any human being does care
something in their lives than for their indiyd-
uality, then they good, and the quicker they
lose their names. the better. All you have do
do something and you will be known whether you
have name not l don't approve OF shouting
your individuality carrying 1t with a banper"
She replying to Ruth Hale, who, although
married to Haywood Broun, declines to be known by
his name. miss Hale resents the control of a
father over his daughter the implied control of
husband the wife, saying: "If the world realized
=. how revolt at having our lives conditioned
by men nearest to us, it would then understand our
sincerity"
That sounds good but, fortunately for society,
the age-old institution of matrimony rests on the
substantial foundation of "a man shall take his wife
and cleave unto her, and the twain shall be one
flesh" The independent idea is very modern, and
shows little sign of taking deep root. Miss Lowell
says truly that if does anything worth while the
world will find it out. The old adage with regard to
the rat trap and the beaten path applies here exactly
Many woman has come to fame wearing the name
she took when she welded Some have attained
fame after marriage.
Better than all, however is the adjuration that
unless one has in life some object that is higher
than SELF "then they are no good" An existence
entirely self-centered is futile. The world has no
for quarrel with anyone who is earnestly
striving to achieve something. Fame will discover
merit, however it may be hidden. Those who seek
it BY methods that partake of eccentrcties
clearly within their rights. They will be respect
ed accordingly, however much they may run counter
to custom Most of would prefer, though, to rest
claims for recognition or distinction on something
substantial than peculiarities.

JAIL FOR FOOL DRIVERS.

The American Society of Engineers, which re-
Gently held its annual meeting in Chicago has some
definite ideas on traffic regulation Particularly is
this view with regard to automobile drivers who
endanger the lives of others. Here is the code pro-
posed by the engineers for nationwide use:
Jail and license forfeiture for drunken drivers;
trial on charges of murder of all drivers responsible
for fatal accidents and careful physical and mental
examination of all applicants for licenses"
If such rules were adopted and enforced, we
think most of the danger that besets the high
ways would disappear. Even the most careful driver
has his troubles, but they few and far between.
1t is the reckless driver the without considera-
ton for the rules of the road the lives he puts
into needless jeopardy the law should reach.
1t will be happy day for all hands when the
reasonable of the highways is universal. and
everybody will feel safe in venturing out because
there will be no fools driving cars

What Shall BE Taxed.

Oakland. Neb.--To the Editor Of

Kansas has introduced a bill providing
that all tax exempt securities should
be made subject to 25 per cent in
heritance tax. hoping thereby TO make
such securities less desirable. Now
all the federal. county, school and
municipal bonds are exempt from
taxation by virtue of the law that
was prevalent at the time when such
bonds were issued. and for that rea.
son are drawing very low rate of
interest. Should we In the future
make such bonds subject to taxation
or In any other way spoil the market
for such securities, We would have TO
