Railroads at Their Old Tactics.
Tho railroads are making tholr
customary protest before tho State
Board of Assessment, alleging that
their valuations for taxation aro too
high as compared with other prop
erty. The representatives of tho rail
roads must bo having a hard time
to keep a straight face while present
ing this pica. The State Ilallway
commission has been making a phy
sical valuation of railroad property
In Nebraska, and an far as It has
gone Its figures are higher for tho
physical proporty alone, without the
franchise, than aro tho assessed
values of the roads. But more than
this, tho valuo of tho physical prop
erty fixed by tho engineers, under
direction of tho railway commission,
Is considerably less In each caso, than
tho figures nt which tho railroads
Insist they should be put.
To a man up a tree It would look
as If tho railroad protest against the
tax assessment wero simply a move
to offset and divert attention from
tho physical valuation appraisement.
Republican Reorganization.
That thoro will bo somo tangible
stops taken toward republican reor
ganization along national lines has
teen plainly manifest ever since the
last presidential campaign. It Is
natural and inevitable that some
thing. should bo done to removo somo
of tho causes of dissatisfaction ro
bponslble for defeat, and more par
ticularly to prevent recurrence by
mnklnc It certnln that the next
standard bearer may havo an un
questioned title to his nomination.
Tho consensus of opinion seems
to be that the most feasible way to
bring this about Is to hold an Inter
mediate convention to change tho ap
portionment, of delegates. By such
change, representation in tho subse
quent nominating convention would
bo made to conform more closely to
tho party strength in tho rospectlvo
states and congressional aisiricis,
and tho outcry against overweighted
southern delegations stopped.
Just now a competition threatens
over rival claims for tho credit of
starting tho reorganization move
ment Certnln party loaders, chiefly
United States senators, want it to
appear that they first turned tho
whoolB, although it will bo necessary
for tho regular party organization
through Its duly constituted office
Inaugurate and carry through
whatever plan may ue auopieu.
While tho party door will, of course,
bo open to all who aro ready to Join
hands again under tho old bannor,
tho qualification tost for leadership
will havo to bo sincerity of purpose,
ot.imv tn tnnnlro confidence ana
ToadlnosB to fight tho battles ahead
of ub with patriotic and unselfish mo
tlves.
Service that Should Be Appreciated,
Tho retirement of Charles a. i'ick-
ons from the Ak-Sar-Bon board of
governors, of which ho has for years
been president, Is occasion to remina
tho nooplo of Omaha that thoy no
not fully realize, nor adequately np
Droclato. tho service rendered to tlio
community by a man in this capac
ity. As Droaldont of the Ak-8ar-Bon
orcanizatlon, Mr. Plcitens parucu-
larly -haB been consclontouB and aa
siduous In his devotion to Its Inter
ests. To lnsuro its success ho has
given time, energy and ability that
could not (have been bougnt ror any
amount of money, but ho has glvon
it all froely out of (real publc spirit
and patriotic prldo in tno city.
The Eleotion, Commissioner.
In the appointment of an election
commissioner under tho new law en
acted by tho last legislature, Dover
nor Morehead 1b to be congratulates
on having gotton away from the
wnrd-heoler cIobs, for all will agroo
that his seloctlon, Harloy Q. Moor
head, is a young man of unblemished
reputation and good standing In tho
community. Ho has been regarded
as a rising young lawyer, and made
creditable raco for tho district
bench at the lost Judicial election
Bo tho only surprise is that he
should bo witling to accept a Balarlod
nosltlon that through the proper per
formance of the duties will taKe mm
completely out of his profession.
Tho expectation, however, that we
will get "pure elections" over-nlgnt
that the contested olectlon 1b now a
thing of tho past, and that every
defeated candidate will hereafter bo
satisfied he has been honestly beaten
Just because the supervision of tho
election machinery has been turned
over to an appolntco of a nonresident
governor Is likely to bo illusory. The
new taw may work some improve
ments we certainly hope, It will
but the millennium in elections Is
yet to come, and our best wish for
the now commissioner is that Ms
troubles will be little ones.
The point has been raised whether
tho appropriation for an armory at
Nebraska City, against which tho
referendum Is threatened, is really
subject to popular review. Tho
referendum clause of the constitu
tion exampts from its operation ap
propriations for any existing Instl
tutlon, and advocates ot the armory
appropriation are trying to claim ex
emption for it.

Tonic for Pessimists
New York Financial Chronicle.
While the business man who Is seized
with fright every tlmo he hears the
tariff discussed, while the banker Is com
plaining that we haven't a currency suf
ficiently elastic, and while the average
citizen feels a mood of economy stealing
over him, nature seems unperturbed and
Is working overtime to shower blessings
on all sides. Old Sol Is blessing Mother
Earth with his rich and warm raya In
a sacrificial effort to give us a bounti
ful harvest this fall, and thereby arouse
frail human nature from Its pronounced
case ot dejection and the pip.
They may cut the tariff If they wish
to, they may give the nation a better
currency system, but no congress can
stop old Sol from making the earth give
forth an unusual bounty of riches In tho
form of bumper crops.
The first crop report published last
week is a real tonlo for whatever depres
sion envelops us now. It. Is out of the
earth the new wealth comes each year,
wealth thaf muBt be moved and con
sumed. If nature's moods do not go awry
before the harvest we may confidently
look tor new yields which will exceed
,Hlll's great dream of $0,000,000,000.
Imagine what this wealth means to
commerce of this country. Think what
It represents to the prosperity of the na
tion. It will be crops, nothing else, which
will prove tho saving situation for this
country next fall. We may then hav
so much mpney as to becomo even In
discreet enough to buy automobiles. And
tho soup houses about which we hear the
croakers talk so much will again fade
away as a mere memory of 1833.
Worrying John Bull
Philadelphia Ledger: If these bomb
outrages continue In England they'll have
to force the militant suffragettes to wear
uniforms so they can't hide 'em.
Baltimore Amorlcan: John Bull 1 put
ting the suffragists In Jail, Uncle Sam
Is listening to what they have to say for
themselves. At present, Uncle Sam is
holding the chivalry record.
New York Sun: Prepared as we are
to shudder over the atrocities of the
English militant suffragettes, we are in
cllnod to believe that soma at least of
the bombs found "planted" nowodays are
In reality "planto."
New York Herald: Exquisite Is the
urbanity of the rector of St Catharine's
Church, Hatchom. England, who says of
Its burning: "I cannot aaoriba it to any
other than those delightful ladles," the
suffragettes. Dear delights, England Is
finding them.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: It will be
noted that Sir Edward Orey, the British
foreign minister, who la for peace at any
price abroad, la following similar tactics
at home. He spoke for and voted for the
recent suffrage proposition which Pre
mier Asqulth and most of the cabinet
opposed.
Pittsburgh Dispatch: It turns out that
Lloyd George, whose-house the militants
tried to destroy by dynamite and arson.
voted for suffrage Just the tame, But
there -were others who made the deduc
tion that the suffragette pranks do not
prove feminine qualification for the bal

her followers beat that bill.

Protection for the Birds.
NEW YORK. May 10.-To the Editor of
The Bees Members ot the Audubon so
ciety are deeply Interested In legislation
relating to the protection ot birds. The
aigrette Is torn from the live mother lrd
In the nesting season and the little ones
are left to starve. Intelligent, kind
hearted women wear theee aigrettes,
birds ot paradise and other hat adorn
ments because they are Ignorant as to
the manner In which these things art ob
tained. No self-respecting woman (and,
above all, no mother) with anything re
sembling a heart, will consent to wear
aigrettes or certain fura. once sli has
learned of the unspeakable horrors that
attend their procuring.
President Wilson has this month con
vened a special session ot congretr. tor
tne purpose of passing the revised tariff
act The officers of the Audubon society
have strong grounds for believing that It
will be possible to have Inserted In this a
provision prohibiting the Importation ot
aigrettes, provided a wide campaign of
publicity can be Immediately Inaugurated.
There will undoubtedly bo strong oppo
sition to the proposed law opposition on
the part of merchant milliners who en
courage the aigrette atrocities as a source
of revenue. The matter Is In the hnds
of the American women.

The Real Council Bluffs.
SHERIDAN, 'Wyo., May 10. To the
Editor of The Bee: Noting In the report
of General Grenvllle M. Dodge s speech
at the meeting ot the Eagles in Council
Bluffs, that the good general refers to
Council Bluffs, la., as the place where
Lewis and Clark held their council with
the Indiana and that It had even then
been known as the "council bluffs,' 1
dislike to differ from so good a historian
as General Grenvllle M. Dodge, but must.
If one will refer to the published edition
of Lewis and Clark's Journal which Is
In the Omaha public library, he will
find that Lewis and Clark did not hold
their counsel with the Indians In or near
where Council Bluffs now stands nor
even on tho east side of the Missouri
river. Their Journal distinctly locates
tholr council on a bluff on the west side
the bluff on which Fort Calhoun waa
afterwards built.
This is also referred to in George Cat
lln's book with that Btory of his won
derful travels among tho Indians and
his remarkable drawings ot them and
their life scenes. You will also note
that on George Catlln'a return he writes
that he visited tho grave of the great
Chief Blackbird who had been burled on
n bluff on tho west bank of tho Missouri,
sitting astride of a live white horso which
the Indlanb had enwalled about ana
over-covered with sods. A badger, or
some other wild animal had dug a hole
In tho top of the mound, exposing BlacK-
blrd's skull, which George Catlln records
he took away with him.

About Dandelions.
SOUTH OMAHA, May 12. To the EM'
Itor of The Bee: It has come to mV notice
lately and I have heard others speak of
It that where white clover Is pretty
thick, dandelions do not grow as well as
hnv do In other places. White clover
seems to retard the growth of dandelions.
For my own part I do not think they
are such ugly flowers, for In some places
thev really Improve the loolts or wings.
It Is Impossible to exterminate them, so
people might as well take them as they
come tor they will grow as long as vege
tation grows. There aro worse things
to worry about than dandelions any now.

And consider you a pest
Twinkle, twinkle yellow sprite.
Twinkle on with all your might

Whilst dubious eyes on you are bent.

As they gaxe where you serene

Fixed as are the stars above you

And a million mayors grown Irate,
Your splendor cannot exterminate.

How we spilt and curled your- milky
stem
Such curls, I've ne'er seen the likes of
them.
And along with the memory of them
lingers
The unctions feel of milky fingers
And a fuszy feel on the chin and a stutte;
From childish Hps, "Do you like but

And so I 'spect you'll hold the fort
Tho' the mayor should drag you into
court:
For your roots are long and they've got
a hold
Deep down In our hearts aa well as the
mold.
And altho' we dig you up with a vim
As dutiful subjects of Mayor Jim
Yet with Joy we'll behold you still shin

As fixed aa the stars In your firmament
