Colonel Roosevelt is a great trav eler, but he never loses his head and leaves the earth In his navigation. Parisians referred to Colonel Roose velt as . the "great commoner." Colonel Bryan is containing himself well. it is eviaenuy nara to suit tome Lincoln visitors in Omaha after S o'clock, even with a banquet other wise pre-eminently successful. Folks who criticise Caruso for laughtng-at the stories he tells have to remember that It is always up to the Btory teller to start the laughing. If the Burlington Is going to spend $30,000,000 on improvements and new equipment Omaha, will gjadly furnish a few places to put some of the money. Ambassador James Bryce thinks the United States ha too many candidates at an election. But what of France, where 667 men run for about a dozen offices? A medical journal contains a learned dissertation on the advantages or the fat man, failing to mention, however, his chief advantage in being able to put up a big front. The advance in rents and commuta tion rates in New England for the suburban resident and summer tourist is a direct slap at Mr. Hill and Secre tary W'llsou In their cry of "Back to the farm." The Nebraska state medics are reg istering vigorous protests against the itcious practice of city surgeons divid ing fees, with country doctor who uteer patients to tbem. Somebody roust be outbidding the others. Chivalry In the case of men and women on a sinking steamboat costs the lives of many women, while the lack of chivalry among youths in a lowing boat accident causes the death of several girls. Cool headed Judg ment boats chivalry al! hollow In such ruiergenflea, Growth of the Wet. Itailroad expansion Is one' of the surest Indexes to the growth of a coun try and nowhere Is this more forcibly demonstrated than here In the wpst. The Burlington ha .made public Its in tention to expend $30,000,00(1 this year for Improvements. It is a western railroad, traveling those sections most prolific of mlnerat and agricul tural wealth. TUU huge expenditure of money means that the development of the went la gigantic and demand such enormous outlays on the. part of the railroads lo enable them to keep pace with and meet the requirements of the ulead I ly growing population and Industry. There Is not a slate or section of the Transmlsslssippi country that Is not making rapid and substantial progress and this condition of affairs leaves the railroads no option; they have to ex pand as a simple consequence. Traffic, freight and passenger both, Is steadily on the increase, as the periodical dearth In train facility surely indi cates. James .1. Hill, himBPlf, has warned the railroads of the Imperative necessity of enlarging equipment and terminals to meet the growing de mands of traffic, which, he saye, in two years will overwhelm present facili ties, and he is showing his good faith by ordering this expenditure for the Burlington. Other western lines arc pursuing a similar policy and this year promises to be one of the busiest and biggest for railroad aggression. The Burlington penetrates or i traverses as much of the new and 17 43,600 ' growing part of the west as any other as 3.09ojroad, and it has already done a large work toward colonization and empire building. Its purpose to put $10,000,- 000 of this great outlay into new lines Indicates that there is to be no let-up, but a decided pushing of this policy. This will mean thousands of home? in this new land where the man with a few acres is the least conscious indi vidual as to the worries of high prices. As p. Revenue Producer. Critics of the new tariff law cannot attack it on the ground of its revenue- producing powers, for since last Au gust, when the law became operative, the receipts of the government have increased $00,500,000 more than for the corresponding ten months a year previous. This increase came from the stimulation of import trade effected since the tariff law was enacted. Duties received on imports alone in creased $38,000,000; internal revenue gained $18,000,000, wnlle miscellane ous sources showed a falling off of $5,000,000. The ordinary expendi tures of the government for these ten months have been $2,000,000 less than for the corresponding period a year before. But these detail figures, signify cant as they are, do not tell as graphic a story as do the com parative deficits. The deficit for these ten months is $16,700,000, while the total deficit for the preceding year- only two months' greater period was $69,236,000. This showing is made in spite of the fact that since last July the Treasury department has paid out on the Panama canal account $27,000, 000, without disposing- of any bonds to make up the amount. The last two months of this fiscal year May and June are expected to show snug surpluses. At the end of Juno the corporation tax will be due. The treasury now has to its credit on the year's operation more than $10, 500,000 and the corporation tax is ex pected to produce nearly $30,000,000, which will close the year, June 30, with a surplus of more than $40,000,- 000, not a bad showing for the first year of the new tariff against which there has been so much political clamor. Of course the supreme court may yet decide against the validity of the corporation tax, in which event the year would still be finished with a good balance on the right side of the ledger. King George's Training. King George V comes to tho throne an enigma to his own people and Eng land Is waiting with keen interest to see what he is going to do. Curiosity naturally centers around his political policies will he line up with the tories, as radicals fear, or will he be as liberal as his father in dealing with political parties and matters of state? The new monarch has given no lnkliog of his political views and all his peo ple have to guide them is his charac ter and temperament He is strong, but retiring, and evidently thinks more than he talks. But the king's methods thus far since taking the crown have certainly distinguished him as a far-seeing and broad-minded man, tolerant of others' rights and prejudices. He has limited the period of public mourning for his father, showing no lack of filial devo tion, but a desire to cause no unneces sary business depression or unreal gloom. He also has objected to the ahtl Catholic references in the declara tion he will make to Parliament, indi cating that his best judgment is not fettered by traditional prejudice. In the way he has gone about the details of business at the palace, where the body of the late king still lies, he be trays a Bure sign of indefatigable In dustry. " . ' The king's training is in his favor. He has spent more than thirty years in the service of the navy and be is intimately familiar with all the details of bis navy aa well as those of other powers. This sort of life is not of itself a training school for statesman ship, but in the way it has trained George there is reason to believe that It will help him to give his people a beneficent reign as king. He Is studi ous, conservative, Industrious and possessed of tho highest senfe of ob ligation and responsibility. He may not be able to develop the democratic spirit that made Edward, VII popular, in fact he may never become as popu lar as Edward and yet not fall to be a good king and a powerful factor In world affairs. He is certanly under the disadvantage of his father's popu larity, and if he proves equal to this handicap he will at once have done much to entrench himself In the es teem of the people, which will give him a good start toward making his own place in history. Acquittal of Heinze. Scarcely had F. Augustus Heinze been freed from the charge of misap plying bank funds than be announced to the public that VI stUl have some of the best copper properties In the world." . To, round out his advertise ment, he might have added, "So, come on, gentlemen, and place your orders." Heinze displays the grit that will not down and the pity is that the man's methods cannot be regarded on the same level with his grit. Bit hia acquittal after seteral years of In vestigation and a prolonged trial, is still not a vindication of what is known as "high finance," nor should it be so confounded by the class of men who hae played the game of speculation on the theory that the end justifies the means. Public attention turns directly from Heinze acquitted to Morse convicted. There is, after all, some surprise that the aggressive young .millionaire should have come out so well when Charles W. Morse, the so-called ice king, was convicted on the charge of "bank wrecking," for which he is serv ing fifteen years In a federal prison. Heinze complains bitterly that the de lay 'in his trial has cost him $4,000, 000 or $5,00d,000 and ruined his credit. Of the latter there can be lit tle question, but still he is fortunate. Outside of any moral effect the Heinze verdict may have, it is likely to result in stimulating Mr. Morse's be lief in his own case and in his right also to freedom and lead his friends to redouble their efforts now for his liberation. Party Differences and Agreements. The suggestion that all political parties in Nebraska incorporate into their njatforms this year identical planks pledging the initiative and ref erendum, and other subjects whose partisans represent them to be outside of politics, raises the question how far this duplication, should go. If all political parties were com mitted to the same program there would be no party lines whatever, and government by political parties would practically cease. If voting the re publican ticket holds out nothing dif ferent from voting the democratic ticket, then government becomes sim ply a question of persons and person alities, and men rather than principles become the determining factor. But men are human and transitory, while principles are lasting. The principles of the great political par ties, although applied to constantly changing conditions, are themselves in a measure permanent and make for continuity and stability, of govern ment. Unless there are party issues elections become simply a scramble for office, and the ordinary citizen who has no special interest in the candidates must be Indifferent as to which side wins out. Ours Is u government of the people through political parties, and political parties will disagree on the most vital questions because actuated by different ideas of governmental policy. So it may as well be put down now as later that we will have party issues and party disagreements in Nebraska this year as we have had in previous years, and will have in years to come, and that voters believing in republican principles and republican policies will have good reason to vote the repub lican ticket In preference to voting the democratic ticket. The unofficial figures sent out from Washington giving the population of St. Louis as less than 700,000 shows how absurd it Is to speculate on the census. If St. Louis does not show up at least 750,000 it will be surpris ing, but it will not be if It goes to 800,000. That city's growth has been slow, but steady and very substantial. In general appearances it strongly re sembles a city of close to 1,000,000. Just keep your- eye on aeveral score Ne braska towns and cities. The columns of the newspaper! daily testify to extensive Improvements all over the state. World Herald. There must be some irrepressible prosperity then, anyway, in spite of democratic lugubratlons that every thing will continue to go to the demni tlon bow-wows so long as the country Is under republican administration. The initiative and referendum was first promulgated aa a platform prom ise by the populists, tut It never had sufficiently attractive powers to get Mr. Bryan to renounce bis standing as a democrat and pronounce himself a populist. . Being king, Oeorge V has already learned, Is not an Idle task, not when he has to be at work at 7 a. m. It is an oppressive duty that greets the new sovereign, but the only kind a success ful ruler may expect to begin his reign with. Strange how the succession of out breaks and dissensions In the Lincoln Insane asylum seen to have accumu lated only since Governor Shallen- berger made Its management a foot ball of democratic party politic. A board of. control to take charge of our Nebraska state Institutions, on a plan similar to that adopted In Iowa, might help some Governor Shallenberger saw no "emergency" last January to warrant bim in calling the legislature together in extraordinary session. .What, if anything, has happened since then be sides the return of Mr. Bryan from his South American junket to create an "emergency" requiring a special session? . Those German throat specialists do not know much about their patient if they think they can scare him into submission. He made concession enough to the Danish doctor when he agreed to stay Indoors most of one day. Lucky the smallpox epidemic among the university students at Lincoln can not be charged up to the bad water supply. If it had happened in Omaha it would be blamed on the water works.

Kathnalaam I nder Control. Indianapolis News. Notwithstanding the fact that the comet Is now visible to the naked eye, many peo ple will still be found who are patient enough to wait until It does Its diurnal stunt shortly after sunset. Greater Honor and Better War. Baltimore American. To sit on a throne by virtue of royal birth Is an honor Impossible to but few; to be elected by the free will of the people to preside over the destinies of a ration Is greater honor and may be aspired to by tho humblest An-erican citizen. Booatlnar International Price. Philadelphia Record. Mr. Roosevelt Is making some very good speeches In behalf of international peace, but they are not more cogent than the speeches of other man who were urging peace measures when Mr. Roosevelt seemed to think that the biggest fleet was the only strong argument agalnBt war. We fall to observe In his Christianla address any mention of more American battleships as an assurance of peace. On the Con trary, he spoke favorably of an agreement to check the growth of armaments. I , Shaking- Off the Peerless. New York Sun. Can it be possible that even the shoulders of the Nebraska democrats, the most pa tient and longest suffering of all demo crats, are at last weary t of the Bryan burden? At all events signs of a novel form of Insurgency among them are not lacking. Only the other day . the demo cratic Board of County Commissioners of Nebraska City flatly refused to permit the thrice rejected leader to make use of the court house for oratorical purposes. Even more recently two democratic state sen ators have declined to accept the com mands of the greatest of all losers. Their letter, in which their refusal Is set forth with great frankness, Indicates the ex tent of the uprising along the banks of the Platte. OVATIONS TO AMERICA. Honors to Theodore Roosevelt Flat ters the Home Gnard. Cleveland Leader. It does Theodore Roosevelt no Injustice to remind his feHow countrymen that the tremendous demonstrations which. are be ing made over him In all countries of Eu rope which he visits are In a vc.-y vital sense tributes to America as well as to a great American. In large measure the country gets the applause and commands the attention centered upon the man. It is perfectly true that no other Amer ican could have caused such demonstra tions, In so many countries. No other citizen of the United States could have called forth such extraordinary evidence of admiration and honor. In that sense the Roosevelt ovations are personal. But, on the other hand, It his career had been upon any lets vast and momentous stage. If It had dealt with smaller things and weaker forces, not even Theodore Roosevelt could have made any such Im pression upon Europe. It would have been Impossible for him to arouse the Interest wlucii bus been shown in every country he has visited. The man and the nation had to be united for the effect which has been produced upon foreign lands. It was necessary for such a dynamic personality to have the possibilities at hand which Roosevelt found In his own country, it his career was to move the imagination of the world as It has. So the American republic may fairly claim a liberal share In the tribute 'paid Theodore Roosevelt In Europe. He would be the first to acknowledge the Justice of such a division of the honors of his won derful journey from one cheering capital to another. Our Birthday Book Ifar 1, 1910. Judge Alton B. Parker, Jurist, politician and once presidential candidate on the dem ocratic ticket, was born May 14, 1802, at Courtland, N. Y. Judge Parker had the misfortune of running against Theodore Roosevelt, and came out worse beaten even than Bryan. James I.

The fifth of the Ungllsli Oeorges reaches the throne at the meridian of lite 46 years. He Is one of the nine old world rulers under fifty years. From that turning point of life the range nf nge reaches almost from the cradle to. the grave. The pat riarch of monarchs Is F.mperor Francis Jpseph of Austria, who is nenrlng four score years, a. id has ruled the. dual em pire for slxty-t-.vo years. ' His only rival In years Is President Ola nf Mexico. From their lofty, Oslerlzed perch the range of age runs down to the nursery of Pu-YI, the baby emperor of China, age four, whose lung exercise Is coinci dent with, the awakening (f the empire. Sultan Mirza of Persia, sge IS, Is tho only other minor with a throne for a plaything. Second to Francis Joseph in length of i ul u is Mutsuhto, mikado of Japan, with forty-three years to hie credit, though only 58 years of age. President Fallleres of France Is 6I. two years older than Em peror Menellk of Abyssinia, who regularly discredits repot ts of his death. Emperor William of Germany, now 51, hns a record of twenty-two years on the throne, rank ing fourth In length of reign. King Fred erick of Denmark Is 7. Sultan Moham med of Turkey, WJ, and King Clustavp of Sweden 53. the stme age of President Taft. Emperor Nicholas of all the Rus sian is only 42, and has ocupied the throne sixteen years. Tho rest of the ruling youngsters are Queen Wllhelmlia, 30; Victor Emmanuel of Italy, 41; King Man uel of Portugal, 21; King A If ouzo of Spain, 2i, and King Haakon of Norway, 3H. " ... The grant of a constitution to the citi zens of Monaco draws attention to one of the few interesting petty rulers In Europe. Albert I, the reigning prince has devoted his life to scientific research, so the money which the spendthrifts throw away answers some useful purpose after all. He is one of the foremost authorities on marine zoology, his solutions of the Gulf stream problem have been recognized by the Institute of France, and the ocean ogrnphlo museum which he has founded has no equal. He Is 61 years old, has been twice married and twice divorced, first to the Lady Mary Douglas-Hamilton, whose story Is a romantic and a pathetic one, and twenty years later to the Dowager Duchess of Richelieu. (lle tired of them both, He has one child, tho Crown Prince Louis. Prince Albert divides his time be tween Tiis yacht, with his remarkable scientific equipment, his Paris residence In the Avenue Trocadero and the plnk-and-white palace perched on a rock above the gaming hall which supports him. The Russian government recently ordered the Finnish Diet practically to abdicate Its constitutional authority by enacting a bill drafted at St. Petersburg giving the Russian government full legislative control of Finland. The bill provided that prac tically all Finnish legislation should be made by the Russian Duma, in return for which Finland should be entitled to send a few delegates to that body. The Finnish Diet received that bill . courteously, and considered It very carefully, and then, last week, refused to enact it and ordered it to be returned to the Russian government. The promulgation of the French marriage law of 1907 has had the desired effect on matrimony In France. It is announced that the number of weddings last year was the greatest on record, with the possible excep tions of 1813 and 1872. Many men rushed into wedded bliss In 1813 In the hope of being able to escape service In the army. The large number of weddings In 1872 was accounted for by the ending of the war with Germany. Many couples had been obliged to postpone getting married until the prospective grooms returned from war. The new law Is proving particularly effect ive among the poorer classes and in the cities. It removes the red tape and restric tions that formerly were burdensome If not prohibitive. Great Britain's new naval program, as embraced in the estimate for l'JIO, Just Is sued by the Admiralty, Indicates no dis position to halt in the process of building up a large establishment. An expenditure of over $200,000,000 is contemplated, an In crease of more than $27,800,000 over 1W. This Increase Is largely accounted for by constructions authorized by Parliament be fore the late dissolution. There are to be five new large armored ships of the type popularly known as dreadnaughts, five pro tected cruisers, twenty destroyers and a large number of submarines. British taxpayers are being called upon to pay what was in arrears during the quarrel between the two houses over the Lloyd-George budget. The government managed to carry on business In the Interim after a fashion, but the new taxes became operative only recently, but In many Instances are retroactive. Among the charges which will be painful novelties are those on motors of all kinds. These range from 1 $5) on motorcycles to 42 ($210) on automobiles exceeding 60-horse power. The proceeds go to road Improvement and are estimated to yield $1,300,000 the first year, The largest one sum In arrears Is that for the Income tax, about $112,000,000. The Spanish elections of last Hunday ap pear to have given the liberals a good working majority In the Cortes. The lib erals are divided into several groups, and fuller details are required to demonstrate the ability of Premier Canalejas to carry out his program of reform, which Includes expansion of popular education. If this point Is still somewhat In doubt, the burden of the election as an expression of anti clerical sentiment Is. however, not open to question. The republicans who stand apart from the liberals have made surprising gains, holding or capturing forty-six seats. Madrid has gone republican, but that bus happened before. TORMPHOOF TEl.Kti K 4 I'll I N (.. Wireless System of Train Dlspatphiuif on I nlon Pacific. Cleveland Plain Dealer. The I'nlon Pacific has decided to Install wireless trlegraph along Its linen. The principal reason for this decision Is the prevalence of blizzards and violent strirnis In Nebraska and Colorado. The telegraph lines along the railroad line are not Infre quently out of commission for days at a time, and traffic is badly tied iij' In con sequence. The Installation of wirclem stations will obviate these difficulties u.id permit the rallrnud to laugh at the atorm king. It Is also propfsed to equip the iocumo tlvts with wireless receiving apparatus. Thus equipped p ' messages could be si nt in time to I r. en t Impending acci dents. The engineer. It is held, could, with out moving from his post, receive the moat important orders. Clearly this uie of the wireless on land should open large new fields of prat ti al usefulness.

We make so bold as to charge Nebraska with wanton cruelty In refusing to permit W. J. Bryan to make a speech, when the spirit intimated that it meant to move him, If he could round up an audience. It was In Nebraska City., Neb., that this unnatural punishment was put upon him who once was the boasted boy orator of the Platte. , Mr. Bryan4 wanted . to speak on the initiative and referendum, but the county commissioners having their headquarters In Nebraska City would not let him have their court house. Two of the three com missioners arc democrats, but they do not share Mr. Bryan's views on the Initiative and referendum. We do not gather thut the views had been expressed, but it Is plain that the county commissioners be lieved they were pretty good guessers. The incident Is not significant, except that It puts an end to a contemutuotiB ar gument which has become an Institution In America namely, "Uo get a hall" this being a slurring remark made to men who try to force their views upon Indifferent people. It now appears that Mr. Bryan cannot even get a hall, in every instance. And this is the cruel situation, we repeat; for Mr. Bryan was made to talk. He has never done anything else since he and the Platte got on the map. He Is a "pretty" talker, and lie ought to be permitted tu have his say, on the initiative and referen dum, or on any other subject lending itself to resounding perorations. It Nebraska will not give Mr. Bryan a hall, what does that state expect the rest of the country to do? Talks for people If you wanted to have a thorough understanding with a man you would sit down with him and have a quiet, confidential talk, giving him reasons for your statements you would do that, would you not, Mr. Merchant? Apply the same rule to your adver tising, make it humanly reasonable. Talk In your advertising as you would talk to an Individual. Advertising is talking, at long range, to Individuals who cannot be seen personally. If you attempt to talk over their heads or talk down to them they will not listen. Advertising, to be successful, must be broad enough to take In everybody; you cannot successfully advertUe along class lines If for no other reason than that conditions change too Bwlftly. Take a broad human view of tho needs of the average family and adver tise to their Intelligence; tell them of the quality of your goods, the tone of your store, your methods and your prices. Put your own personality back of your advertising and the peo ple will respond never doubt it.

With a thundor-driven heart And tlio shimmer of new wing"1, ' I, a worm that Was, upstart: King of Kings. I have heard the singing stars. I have watched the sunset die, As I burst the lucent bars Of the sky. Lo. the argosies of Spain. , As they plowed the naked brine, . Found tile heaven-girded main Like to mine. 1 Soaring from the clinging sod. First and foremost of my race, I have met the hosts of Uod Face to face. Mel the tempest and the gale. Where Uie white moon-riven cloud Wrapt the splendor of my sail ' In a shroud. When the ghost of winter fled. Swift 1 followed with t tie snow. Like a silver arrow sped From a bow. I have trailed summer south. Like a flush of burnished gold, When she fled the hungry mouth Of the cold. I have dogged the ranging sun Till the world became a scroll. All the oceans, one by one, Were my goal. Other winged men may come, Pierce the heavens, chart the sky, Sound an echo to my drum, Kre they die. 1 alone have seen the earth. Age-old fetters swept aside ' ' In the glory of new birth. Deified! who sell things made (to sell) at home? I have In mind a large knitting mill which makes a high quality of goods and maintains a selling organization and an advertising department to create business throughout the United States, but which overlooks the local trade. Whtt an opportunity Is here to increase the sales by a local adver tising campaign, offering to supply th whole home community with an article made "under Its very pose." "A prophet is without honor In his own country" simply because he will not advertise at home. His neighbors and friends know less about his goods than people a thuusHiul miles away. Don't overlook the trade at your very door, Mr. Manufacturer, (iet busy with your selling talks, or an nouncements, In the daily paper. Tell the people what you make; how you make it; what material you use In Its construction; where It Is obtained; the method of selection and treatment of the raw material; how It Is handled by employes; the number of families supported in the community. Tell them that your workmen will get a benefit from the trade of their neigh bors and friends if they buy goods made at home. Tell them home-made goods are equally as good. Just as well made and tost no more money, than goods made In some other community. There are many sound arguments that might be used In selling talks addressed to peo pie In your own municipality. Not every manufacturer could find a sufficient market for all bis goods in his own city, but who among tbem. will say that he has made a good whole hearted effort to get the business that should naturally belong to him If ht has neglected to advertise anW bin neighbors and friends la bia bora newspapei
