SECttKTABT BAT.
It was announced several weeks ago
that In the event of Uie election of
President Roosevelt Mr. John Hay
would continue to h the head of the
Department of State. This Is now con
flrmed upon tie authority of the presi
dent himself and it will be recorded
with great satisfaction by all who are
familiar with the valuable' service
which Secretary. Hay haa reudered the
country and appreciate Ibe distinguished
place he holds amoug the world's diplo
matists. There could b no siroiivi-r
assurance of a wise, conservative and
straightforward policy in our
relations than Is contained in the an
nouncement that Mr. liny will continue
to direct that policy. The country enn
feel perfect confidence that all American
interests and rights abroad will be most
carefully looked after and protected,
while at the same time the traditional
policy of the government will be strictly
observed.
It haa been remarked that It was not
till .the accession of , Mr. Hay. us bond of
the Department of State, that the In
dustrial and commercial community of
the United Stub1 began to feel that the
foreign policy of the administration was

FREDERICK THE GREAT.
Sext Saturday there will be unveiled
at Washington, with appropriate exer
cises, a statue of Frederick the Great,
the gift of Emperor William. The occa
sion will be especially Interesting as
marking an Innovation, this being the
first statue of a monarch In our national
capital. When the emperor of Germany
proponed Its presentation there was n
considerable protest against accepting It
and when it was accepted by President
Hoo8?velt be was somewhat sharply
criticized. The proffer of the statue was
made with the best of motives and
prompted by n cordial friendship and we
believe there are very few now, even
among the objectors, who do not think
that the president acted properly in accepting-
the gift.
Frederick the Or?nt. who was king of
Prussia at the ti-ne of the American
revolution, was n friend of the colonies,
Then Is the authority of the historian
P.aui njfl for this. The Prussian king
did what he coiild to aid the cause of the
colon !nt. among other things, rejecting

tion!: is. Ilr paid in reply to the Rritl.-di
proposal flint "If thr.t crown could give
nil th millions possible I would not fur
nish It two small files of my troops to
serve n.wtlnst the colonies." Early In
the war he promised not to be the last
naigrcnts to settle In the south. As
the New York Journal of Commerce
point out, the opportunities and ad
vantages of settlement in the west have
been widely and persistently advertised,
not only by those concerned in getting
new settlers, but by the Immigrants
themselves who have made their homes
thero and desire to bring more of their
former compatriot to live with them,
Nothing at all corresponding to this has
yet been dono In the south,
Moreover, as that paper remarks,
there Is no r.sc In blinking the fncl that
political and social conditions In the

rightly or wrongly, have tended to repel

ab!o that the more Iniolllent of the

of course no adequate effort Is made to

11'jIA'T ARBITRATION TREATIES
It 1 Btuted that a number of the coun-
' trie of Central and South America are
manifesting a desire to inter into urbl-
Hague conference is nsboiubled, in con
formity with the cull recently issued by
President Roosevelt.
In the nienntlme It Is presumed that
our government will give to the southern
republics desirous of entering into such
arrangements assurance of its willing
ness to negotiate arbitration treaties
whanovcr that can bQ done. The matter
I one of hardly les Importance tha
that of tutoring Into such conventions
with European nations. It is u means
of promoting friendship between the
Un'ted Htate nnd the republics of Cen
tral and Fouth America that tdiould be
realouxly cultivated. There Is repson to
thlnU tlat at present tome of Mii.sn coun
tries re not so confident of the friend
ship of this republic as It is to be de.
slrvd they should b. There certainly is
no substantial ground for distrust, yet
It undoubtedly exists to a greater or less
extent and all proper and practicable
efforts sliould be made to remove It We
wish their good will. We desire Uielr
trade. With the construction of the
Isthmian cana! we shall necessarily have
closer relations with most of them and
in the meanwhile everything possible
should be done to establish these rela
tions on a sure and permanent basis.
Arbitration treaties would be a very con
siderable step in this direction nnd the
southern countries should therefore be
encouraged to eipect such arrangements
as soon as they can be effected. While
such treaties are directly in the interest
of international peace, they might prove
a to the southern countries an Incentive
to commercial agreements that would be
of mutual advantage. Whatever pro
motes friendship between nations is fa
vorable to trade relation. We should
lose no opportunity to let the republics
of this hemisphere understand that we
desire to be on the friendliest terms and
It Is manifestly in our interest to en
courage the sentiment in favor of arbi
tration that appear to be growing
among them.

Our doleful popocratlc contemporary
derives some enjoyment from the after

Candidate Berge may uot occupy the
executive mansion, but he can look at
himself pictorially portrayed in the Chi

paper of usually good Information re
sources should make aueh a pnlpalde
mistake, but perhaps It should not be so
surprising in view of the persistent dis
semination of fuke election new out of
the office of the local popocratlc organ.
Mr. Berge might spring a surprise by
writing a letter of correction to the

A cablegram just received by the editor
of The Bee from John Jenkins at San Sal

into the vernacular of any known

out this means "three cheers and a

SCauKSTIUXS FOR BETTER SICSICIPAL
anVERSMET.
As a natural scuueucs ot the wldc
open policy that prevailed in Omaha
during the Trauiu.i&isippl expositlou
tolerated vKe obtained a foothold that
ha afforded pur;ou reformers and
scnsatioual revivalists materia! for class
ing Omaha among America's "wickedest
cities," although iu the main Omnha ha
been as well governed as any other city
of its populutlon. There Is, however,
room for practical reform.
Immediately following the adjourn
ment of the legislature of 1001 I ven
tured to make these suggestions to the
ninyor and chief of police:
1. A strict and Impartial enforcement
of the midnight closing ordinance.
2. The closing of nil front entrances
of saloons from midnight Saturday to
mldulght Sunday, and the closing of all
side and back entrances to all orderly
saloons Sunday until after church hours.
3. That the keepers of all saloons
within the proscribed district be re
quired to wall up their back doors and
back windows, side doors aud side win
dows, so that the only entrance or exit
should be on the street fronts, constantly
within sight of the police, and, further
more, that at the end of the license
year ending with January 1, 1002, no
license should bo granted within the pro
scribed district for any saloon.
These suggestions seemed too drastic
to the mayor and chief, nnd, while some
effort has since been made to tighten the
reins upon tolerated vice, the core of the
municipal carbuncle has not yet been
touched. In view of the fact that we
are again npproachlng n new license
year, I nm impelled publicly to urge upon
the mayor and police board the Inaugu
ration of the reforms above outlined.
There Is no valid excuse or reason why
any liquor-selling resort should bo per
mitted to keep open after midnight and
it is no hardship on any habitual user of
liquor to be compelled to gratify his op
pot Ite or make bis purchase of liquor
before mldulght.
There Is no good reason why licensed
salooiLS should be permitted to offend the
sensibilities of church-going people by
carrying on their traffic with front doors
open, or, for that matter, with side doors
open, until after church hours.
The experience of ages and in all coun
tries has demonstrated that the social
evil cannot be suppressed. At best It
ran bo repressed by police supervision
from becoming too offensive or indecent.
Experience has shown that saloons lo
cated within the proscribed district le
come the natural trystlng plnce of preda
tory criminals, such as footpads, bur
glars and porch climbers, and are the
favorite haunt of toughs aud habitual
criminals who infest the slums of cities.
The Joints and dens located within the
proscribed district not only tax the
vigilance and Ingenuity of the police, but
go far toward its demoralization.
Both the letter and spirit of the
Slocumb high license law contemplate
and ordain the wide separation of the
liquor traffic from the social evil. The
enforcement of that port of the law
would. In my Judgment, go far toward
purging the city of its worst element
At any rate, It would materially lessen
the opportunity for successful depreda
tions by thugs, thieves and house
breakers. Incidentally I nm Impelled to urge
upon the police board a revision of police
regulations nlong these lines:
1. No policeman or patrolman .should
be detailed to serve within the pro
scribed district more than two weeks In
any one year, and these two weeks to
be nt least six months apart This sug
gestion is made because I nm convinced
thnt policemen who patrol the streets
within the district for any length of
time become contaminated and fre
quently act as protectors and solicitors
ror tolerated vice instead of being pro-
lectors ond guardians of the public.
The argument that policeman cannot
be efficient until he hns made the ac
quaintance of nil the ppople under his
surveillance does not Impress me as
sound.
2, The 'officers In charge 0'f the police
station should be changed at least six
times in a year, nnd. if practicable, a
change every month would be still better.
Experience has shown that police of
ficer stationed at the police court for
any considerable length of time are 11a
blo to become corrupted and worse than
worthies by contact with criminals,
high nnd low, who seek Immunity from
exposure by the payment of mopey or
by valuable gifts,
3. Lost, but not least, no police officer
or policeman should be permitted to
solicit or accept any gift under nny
pretense from men and wompn who are
nndey police surveillance, and the viola
tion of this rule should be sufficient to
cause the dismissal of the offender, who
ever he may be. E. ROSE WATER.

And a single anointing with CUTICURA, the great skiri
cure and purest of emollients. This treatment, when fol
lowed in severe cases by mild doses of CUTICURA
RESOLVENT PILLS, to cool and cleanse the blood, is
the most speedy, permanent, and economical cure for
torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly,
crusted, and pimply skin and scalp humours, with lossi
of hair, ever compounded.
CURED OF ECZEMA BY CUTICURA
I had suffered terrible agony and pain lor eight long year
irora a terrible eczema on the scalp and face. The best doctors
were unable to help me, and I had spent a lot of money for many
remedies without receiving any benefit. My scalp was covered
with scabs, my face was like a piece of raw beef, my eyebrows
and lashes were falling out, and sometimes I felt as if I was
burning up from the terrible itching and pain. I then began
treating myself at home, and now my head and face are clear,
and I am entirely well. I first bathed my face with Cuticura
Soap, then applied Cuticura Ointment to the afflicted parts, and
took Cuticura Resolvent for the blood. To my surprise and joy
I was greatly relieved after the first application, and continued
use of the Cuticura remedies soon made a complete cure.

FITlllE OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Chicago Chronicle: The democratic party
of the constitution Is dead. The social
democratic party of continental Europe,
preaching discontent and class hatred, as
aAltln? lfiw. nrnnprtv and neraonal rights
and Insinuating confiscation and plunder,
Is here.
Minneapolis Journal: Bryan and his fol
lowers will now regain control of the dem
ocratic organization In most of the states.
They will proceed to build up a practically
new party along lines that will not be
strange to those who have followed
Bryan' career.
Chicago Record-Herald: In all probability
the new alignment will leave no place for
the "safe and sane" In the democratic
nartv. The conservatives will become re
publican, and party conflicts between re
publicans and democrats ' will be conflicts
between conservatism and radicalism.
Kansas City Journal: If Colonel Bryan
had had the ordering of the e'ventB of last
Tuesday he could not have conjured up
anything more to hla liking than what ac
tually took place except that he would
have given a different complexion to tho
Nebraska legislature. All else suited him
perfectly. One democrat, at least, Is as
jubilant If not as demonstrative as the
republicans.

I Join the prayer of popples bended low,
And count the beaded rosary ot the vine.

A choir of birds half hid In copse and

The burning adorutlon of a BUr.
