Busineia On the Canal.
The president shows he means bus
iness every foot cf the way in the Pan
ama canal enterprise by bis determina
tion to make a personal Inspection of
the work and the Important problems
attending it. No man in public life is
0 well Qualified to grapple with these
questions, for he has made them the
subject of long and patient study and
be Is determined to have the canal
completed before the time set for Its
opening, in January, 1915.
It seems that the two most difficult
and Important matters to be disposed
of are the adjustment of tolls and the
plans for handling the coal. What
the government has to keep in mind in
both is the fact that the canal is pri
marily a business enterprise that must
attract shipping to be successful. The
mere building of the canal itBelf will
not bring all available shipments
through its portals. This has to be
understood at the very outset. There
Lis juBt one thing that will get this
business, and that Is fair and just
rates, or tolls. The vast amount of
transoceanic freight that Is now being
traiiffported by other routes can and
will continue to go the same way after
the canal is built just as well as at
present unless the canal makes an, at
tractive bid for it that will save the
3hipper time or money, or both.
The other emergency to be met, that
of providing for the coal and prevent
ing the possibility of private interests
building pockets along the way and
laying the foundation for a monopoly
In the fuel, is scarcely less important.
It may be necessary in this case for
the government to go Into the business
of selling coal. The work of con
structing the canal is proceeding so
fast and so satisfactory that It would
be unfortunate to err at the outset In
any of the details of management.
Police the Forests.
Surely our government realizes that
greater protection to our forests is es
sential. Its astounding loss of human
life and priceless timber this year
must have convinced It of that. All
the different theories and policies of
conservation In the world will do no
good so long as the forests are left un
protected and subject to the ravages
of fire, which In the last few months
have consumed millions of dollars and
scores of lives, wiping out towns and
homes and lifetime prospects In vari
ous portions of the country.
One thing is proved beyond cavil or
question; our forest ranger service Is
pitifully inadequate and should be
augmented. It should be brought up
to a quota that will at least offer some
reasonable hope of protection to the
forests and the people within or near
them. It does seem that this Is the
first and most essential step In the
process of practical conservation, no
matter by what theorist's name It may
go, no matter whether it contemplates
state or national control. It is no
time to discuss mere theory when life
and the nation's resources are at
stake. Here is something that could
be done this Increase In the forest
ranger service. And if that is not
sufficient, take the next step. But at
all events the government Is simply
marking time when It stops to indulge
the theorist when It is the practitioner
who - is-wanted.
. Another simple thing that should
be done is to adopt such rules and reg
ulations as will stop tourists and hunt
ers in' their criminally careless habits
of leaving fires burning In timber do
mains. Many destructive conflagra
tions have come from Just such trivial
causes. It Is also necessary to tlrow
up better safeguards against sparks
from locomotives on railroads travers
ing forest country. These are all lit
tle matters that could and should be
attended to.
Greeting the Stranger.
The stranger visiting Omaha period
ically cannot fall to note with each
fcQccc6Bive view a steady improvement
in Omaha's general appearance, and
yet he cannot fail to observe many
places calling for still further Im
provement. The stranger In every city Is largely
governed by first impressions, while
those of us who live here have to go
away from home and come back in or
der to get the point of view of the
outsider.
The visitor to Omaha cornea by rail
and gets his first glimpse through a
car window. He sees Omaha from
across the river or from the sunken
right-of-way between Omaha and
South Omaha. This car window view
is not bad, but could be much better.
The vicinity of the river front and of
tho railroad right-of-way Is by no
means a thing of beauty, yet could
easily be mado more attractive by a
little care and attention and not
much money.
When our stranger debarks from
either of our passenger stations he
ought to have a means of reaching the
center of the city by a highway afford
ing sightly and comfortable transit.
There is now no way of bridging the
gap from the viaduct except over
rough and Jolting granite block pave
ment. The roadway has often been
worse than It Is now, but there should
be at least one smoothly-paved artery
of traffic kept coubtantly in good con
dition connecting the passenger sta
tions with the district in which are
located the hotels, amusement places
and business houses.
It should be Eald that our de
ficiencies are not due to lack of desire
to Improve, but rather to lack of sys
tematic plan and persistence. With
a definite plan to work to, Omaha
could noon be made to put on a better
faco'ftfccu tt i' vets the stranger and
make visitors feel that they are com
ing in by the front door and not by
the back gate.
Now for the Maine.
Nothing remains to be done now to
ward raising the Maine but the actual
work, the red tape preliminaries hav-
lug been gone through with and the
president having approved the plans.
The experts say they will have the
wreck ready for exhibition by the mid
dle of February. Aside from the
humanitarian and sentimental aspects
of the case, the resurrection of the
vessel can have little significance.
What will it matter whether the evi
dences support the thtory that the ex
plosion was from within or without?
The Spanish-American war has been
fought and Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines stand as living monuments
to the fact that the world is better off
as a result and all that justice needs
for Its defense is the record of the war
itself.
What if the declaration of war did
follow the explosion in Havana har
bor? That was not the cause, but a
circumstance In the cause of the war.
It did not create, It only precipitated
hostilities. It cannot possibly change
anything, therefore, at this date,
whether the explosion came from a
submarine mine set by Spanish sol
diers or from an accident within the
vessel due to American carelessness;
whether it was Spanish perfidy or
Yankee neglect. " No amount of senti
mental hurrah or jingoism now can
alter the facts.
It Is an evidence of American fair
ness to have a representative of the
Spanish government present when the
ship Is brought from its resting place
of a dozen years and more, but, after
all, even this can serve no decisive
purpose. So far as that Is concerned
American experts seem to feel certain
that the fact, of an exterior explosion
will be established when the ship Is
raised, and the United States govern
ment Is not worrying over the matter
one way or the other. Probably the
most important object of all Is to re
bury the remains of the sixty odd
heroes In Arlington cemetery.
The Scholar in Politics.
There seems to be excellent author
ity for the statement that the demo
cratic party this year la the party of
corporation boodle; that the money
bags of "predatory wealth" It has so
loudly condemned are open to its lead
ers and candidates and that enormous
sums are being spent In the effort to
elect the democratic ticket in New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts.
Ohio, Indiana and other states, east as
well as weBt. But the great effort
centers in New Jersey, where Morgan,
Carnegie and other powerful interests
are said to be engaged in a desperate
combine to elect Dr. Woodrow Wilson
governor of the state in the hope and
for the purpose of grooming him for
the presidential nomination In 1912.
Dr. Wilson's friends, who admit
that money is being spent lavishly in
behalf of the democracy, declare he Is
Innocent of any collusions and not
cognizant of such a move. Some of
his political opponents generally are
willing to concede as much. The
president of Prtnceton has entered the
race as "the scholar in politics" and
is being accorded every consideration
of fair treatment. But grant that it
is all true; grant that he is completely
Ignorant of the methods and money
being employed to bring about his
election now and his nomination in
1912, of what credit is that to Dr. Wil
son? Of what possible account or
good use ia "the scholar in politics" if
he can be used as the dupe or instru
ment of sinister Influences? If such
trickery as this can be played around
him without his finding it out, how
much better is he for the cause of
good government than the man of less
lofty Ideals and ideas who cannot be
thus fooled and foiled?
It really Is not doing Dr. Wilson any
credit to make these excuses and ex
planations. i

The governments of northern Kurope
never looked with favor on the tides of
emigration which mnviil westward from
their shores In former years. All possible
pressure was eTrrted to minimize the at
tractions of the land of the free and the
home of opportunity, but In' vain. Ob
structive measures proving futile. with
rare wisdom the authorities turned their
efforts to the betterment of conditions at
home, and thus gradually cheeked the out
flow of national vitality. With one excep
tlon no attempt has been made hereto
fore to Induce a return of some of the
prodigals, and to Sweden belongs the
unique distinction of making the effort,
a systematic come-back campaign was
started a year ago and Is In full swing
It Is too early to tell what effect the
campaign will have on the millions of that
nationality who have contributed greatly
to the development of the middle west and
shared In Its prosperity, but the chances
are decidedly against an exodus. The at
tractions offered by Sweden to homesick
sons and daughters, If there be any such
are chiefly improved agricultural conditions
and facilities for actual ownership of the
land, which the state is about to provide.
The ultimate object of the authorities I

The British Review of Reviews prints
a notable interview with Mr. Lloyd-Ueorge,
chancellor of exchequer, dealing chiefly
with thu question of disarmament, and an
Anglo-American alliance. "We cannot dis
arm in me midst or an armed camp," says
the chancellor. "Any remedy must be lie
ternatlonul, and we are not merely willing
but eagerly anxious for an international
arrangement by which we could arrest
this headlong race to destruction. But
when we have piped to other nations they
would not dance to our music. Nay, they
nave even mlscontrued our Invitation to
cover an Inslduous design." With the
nation's motive thus lmpunged, the chan
cellor remarks that England is not aC
present disposed to make new overtures for
an international agreement. On the sub
ject ol closer relations between Great
Britain and the United States, the chan
cellor says: "I am enthusiastically In
tavor or everything that will draw the
two great halves of the English-speaking
people Into fraternal union. Think
for a moment what might not be effected
for the welfare of mankind If the empire
and the republic together were to address
themselves to the solution of the great
problems which make for the world's
peace. No other state could regard such
an alliance as a menace to its safety or
to Its Independence. It would be an
Anglo-American Insurance corporation
against International anarchy. International
brigandage, International lawlessness in
any part of the world. Its moral Influence
would be Immense."

The extraordinary difficulties with which
Italian ' physicians tn some cholera dis
tricts have to contend are related by a
correspondent of the London Lancet. De
scribing the recen outbreak of popular
violence at Barletta he says: "Under tho
delusion that the sanitary authorities In
oculate the public with the bacillus to pro
long the epidemic and to keep the medical
man In employment, the mob assailed the
town hall with volleys of stones, directed
chiefly at the -Uffiai d lglene;' turned next
to the military barracks, and 'shelled'
them in turn with the same missiles; and,
finally, when the carabineers had to come
out In the interests of public order, re
ceived them with auch a hall shower of
projectiles, gathered from all quarters,
that the long-suffering soldiery had to fire
In self-defense, though with blank car

considerable number, however, of the more

too, were dispersed at the point of the

populace, which, In their absence, has
next assailed the pharmacists, one of

his life ia despaired of."
A striking difference la to be observed
among the money lenders of the world in
their financial dealings with China and
Turkey. Barely two months ago half a
dozen nations were demanding a slice of
China's loan, each exerting all available
pressure for the largest share. Very dif
ferent Is the oourse pursued In dealing
with Turkey. Not only is there no rivalry
for the loan of f30.000.000, but it Is charged
that a deliberate effort Is being made to
compel acceptance of the pawnbroker's
terms of the Ottoman bank of Paris. These
terms Included, besides heavy Interest
charge and commission, the right to super
vise expenditure of the money and direct
most of It to the gun and powder foun
dries of France. An attempt to float the
loan In London was headed off by the
French government. Negotiations for the
loan are at a standstill, greatly embar
rassing the Young Turks government.
Germany am! Austria are the only avenues
of escape from the onerous conditions of
the Ottoman bank brokers. Tho Vaterland.
an Austria Journal deriving inspiration
from official sources, urges Turkey to ally
Itself with Oerm&ny and Austria, as both
control of the political destinies of central
Europe. To test the genuineness of the
hint. Turkey might offer Its loan as an
ev denee of good will. A favorable
response would upset the bargain counters
of London and Paris and anchor the "hal
arce of power" in Berlin and Vienna.
The ministry of public works In Turkey
invites American bids for trolley lines In
and around Constantinople. Hitherto
Smyrna has been the only city In European
or Asiatic Turkey which has had a system
of electric tramways. The total steam
railway mileage of the Ottoman empire at
present is somewhat over 4.UUU miles. Tur

When the Japanese established an agri
cultural and Industrial bank In Corea the
People of the Queer Hats looked upon It
with suspicion and disfavor as a device
of the enemy, and in the year 19o7 they
deposited only $121,140. Last year, however,
their deposits amounted to t'Hl,760, and
this year they will far exceed that sum.

TO THE OVERCROWDED EAST.
1
The east is Just plum full of folks,
They're packed in like sardines;
Some are bllin' over in the clouds
An' float in air machines.
Tho skyscrapers rise like chickens' thighs
An' pierce the great blue crust.
An' It s high time fer spreadin' time
An spread we must,
Fer there Is room out west fer all
In the golden sunset Ian.'
An' If you can't go far out west
Go as far west as you can.
II
The east has plenty to fill up time;
Life there Is one grand hustle.
Tou ain't got no eyes fer a purtv sunrise.
Or ears to hear the corn rustle.
Tls a strenuous time fer a man In his prime
Wtth a tariff on ev'ry minute;
The game Is on an' the stakes are high
An' the prize who'll win it?
But there's a prize out west fer each
An' ev'ry wide-awake man.
An' If you can't go far out west
Go as fur west aa you can.
Ill
I can't see any mortal use
In -human condensation;
We're hound to bulge thro' the upper crust
Or soak thro' the lower foundation.
Some folks niHke me think of a pack of gccMi
Holding gabfest In one square rod
While beyond them stretches invitingly
A good square mile of sod.
Then let us spread from coast to coast,
An' Hve on a generous plan;
An' if you can t go fur out west
Go as fur west as you can.
IV
It's
a mighty
long stretch
from coast t
coast.
The expense, sure, would be great
To take a bunch from the statu of MiUnt
Clean out to the Golden Gate;
But nerve's not larking to meet the test,
An' gilt you'll get on the way.
An' maybe you'll like the looks of things
Ere you reach that Sunset Bay,
Fer the middle west la a mighty fine place;
It's equal you never saw
An' if you can't make It clear out to the
coast,
Come aa far as Omaha.
