Through Smoked Glasiei.
The reception accorded President
Taft in his tour of the west and the
effect of his visit upon the people
who meet and hear him, are natur
ally subjects of Intense Interest to all
who look ahead to next year's polit
ical campaign. For that reason sev
fral of the large eastern newspapers
have sent special representatives to
trail the presidential party and make
a report of findings. Dut, as might
be expected, those representing an
tagonistic organs persist In looking
through smoked glasses warranted
to make things look dark and brown
and In order to disagree with more
unprejudiced observers.
To be more specific and have ref
erence particularly to the president's
sojourn in Nebraska, the correspond
ent sent to spy out the land for the
Chicago Tribune, a paper which has
not been over-friendly to the presi
dent, reports that while "undeniably
there Is a great deal of republican In
surgency In Nebraska, it 1' not nearly
so prevalent as In Kansas or Iowa."
He quotes a number of farmers and
business men as expressing them
selves strongly for the president and
but a few voicing doubts, and reports
finding demorrats as saying that the
president "made a fine impression."
Just to show the difference, how
ever, the emissary of the Philadel
phia North American, which berates
Taft on every occasion, describes the
president's visit to Nebraska as ac
tually strengthening the campaign of
his enemies who favor La Follette
for the presidency. He goes on to
declare:
Nebraska promlaes to prove aa strongly
progressiva aa any other state In the
middle Writ. There Is little reason to
doubt that Nebraska will oppose the re
nomlnatlnn of Taft, and no doubt what
ever that If Mr. Taft la nominated the
state will go democratic.
He quotes an unnamed "small
merchant" in Omaha as complaining
about the rise in the price of sugar
and for that reason declaring:
I am for Bcnator La Follette and the
men who stand with him for the proteo-
tlon of the public against robbery.
Presumably, Nebraska will be trav
ersed from now on by a succession
of political weather prophets, whose
forecasts will be similarly made
through smoked glasses Just as
they are Instructed to see things. Ne
braska will got lota of publicity from
it, but, we take It, we will have to
wait until the primary next April for
official and conclusive Information.
Overbuilding: a City.
Large lenders of money on new
buildings In New York are said to be
shutting down tight on thla character
of loans because they believe the city
already overbuilt, particularly In the
Una of apartment houses. According
to the New York Times, "not for
many years has It been so difficult
to obtain a building loan aa It Is
today." The Times adds:
That New York la overbuilt, not only In
apartment houaes. but In several other
clasnea of buildings, was admitted by the
head of asveral of the large financial
Institutions which loan money mora or
Usa freely on building operations.
It Is believed that It comparatively
little building is done in New York
for a year It will be better for the
city. So if the coming building
statistics show a falllng-off for
Gotham, let It not be ascribed solely
to "dull times" or slack Industry.
What Is true on a large scale In New
York Is doubtless true In lesser de
gree In many smaller cities. Build
ing has been going on under a boom
Impulne for several years. Most of
It, doubtless, was In response to
legitimate demands, but evidently
the demands have been rather well
met. Beyond that It becomes a mat
ter, largely, of- speculation. At least
the heavy holders of money to loan
seem so to view It, and they are tak
ing tho safe course In restricting
loans. They prefer to let the cities
that have been overbuilt have time
to fill up, to expand and develop
within, so as to make for a more
wholesome, economic, aa well aa so
cial condition all around.
It la quite Interesting to bave this
phase of New York's growth turned
toward us. It helps to allay the
anxieties that had been felt over Ita
problem of finding ground space
enough on which to expand In ac
commodation of the urgent demands
of constantly Increasing population.
Perhaps It will not be necessary now
for a time to hoist any more sky
scrapers out of sight.
Bestriding Marriage.
The Women's Christian Temper
ance union of Kaasaa seems to have
done what a lot of people have been
thinking of doing In formally raising
the question of restricting marriage
aa a step toward the cure of the
divorce evil. What la the um for
people who are in earnest in protest
Ing against the Increasing number of
divorcee to deceive themselves
longer aa to the vital part over-hasty
and Indiscriminate marriage plays In
forming the evil?
So long aa the bars are let down
to everybody to wed under substan
tlally any conditions and ctrcum
stance and the existing lawa even
shaded tn favor of thoughtless mat
rlmony, ao long Is the country liable
to be confronted with the perplexity
of, the divorce problem. Matrimony
must he recognised as the gateway
through which many, phases of the
problem enter la their lnclplency.
Until that gateway Is at least safe
guarded It la useless to talk of hav
ing solved the problem.
But society Is at last awakening to
the possibilities ot this divorce evil.
When it gets a sufficiently large and
clear vision It may be relied upon to
ao after the thing. Much attention
Is already being given to the subject
and when the facts are more gener
ally known and understood folks will
wonder that they let things drift
so long as they did.
Butter Soaring-.
Forty-cent butter Is predicted for
this winter. Inasmuch as we have
had 4 5-cent butter in recent winters,
people are not likely to become
stampeded, but they will want to
know what Is likely to cause the
sharp rise in the price. Have the
storage houses cornered the market
so completely aa to be able to dictate
arbitrary figures to the consumer'.'
l)o the pastures and meadows go into
the autumn bleak and parched? Has
feedstuff recently taken another
Jump In price?
Reports are to the effect that the
Chicago storage plants have on hand
nearly 20,000,000 pounds of butter
less than they had this time last
year. The pastures and meadows have
been refreshed and regreened by the
recent heavy rains and feedstuff Is
steady enough. Perhaps, then, the
cold storage people are expecting to
coin this difference In supplies on
hand Into more money. In fact, that
Is the Intimation.
To the consumer It looks a little
like playing both ends to the middle
on htm. When the cold storage
houses were overstocked and they
had Virtually a corner on butter, they
exercised the power by boosting
prices out of sight. Now that they
have a diminished supply they
threaten to use that also as an argu
ment for boosting prices.
The cold storage plant Is one of
the very needful of modern improve
ments, but It becomes more and more
evident that with It also there Is
such a thing as over-straining the
virtue and by so doing the cold stor
age plant la but pressing the ques
tion of restrictive regulations as ap
plied to Itself. The advantages of
cold storage do not rightly Include
the privilege of using the necessities
of life for speculative purposes.
If the democrats were on the
square In the matter or alleged
fraudulent registration, they would
do something more than talk. All
the registrars are appointed by the
city council, which the democrats
control. AH the prosecuting machin
ery Is In the hands of the democratic
t ty attorney, and there la nothing
op the democrats from doing
Kw.ni'iss except lack of desire, and
probably also lack of evidence.
Our democratic United States sen
ator evidently put his foot Into It
when he talked for federal Inspection
of grain before the Grain Dealers'
association in the mlataken belief
that they were for It. A republican
senator might be expected to favor
centralisation In government and
federal inspection as against state
and local Inspection, but the demo
cratic creed is supposed to be against
centralization In any form.
Our democratic organs are busy
propounding questions to the repub
lican nominee for congress In the
Third Nebraska district, which sim
mer down to this, "Will you, sir, If
elected aa a republican, vote as a
democrat?" Every republican candi
date1 must give 'the right answer to
this question under penalty of for
feiting democratic support which he
wquld not get, anyway.
The only unsatisfactory thing
about that commerce court decision,
entitling bridge passengers on the
street railway to transfers, Is that
there Is only one bridge between
Omaha and Council Bluffs and no
chance to work the transfer game for
a free return trip.-

OMAHA, Oct W.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Now that you hava started a good
reform In connection with our Ak-oar-lien
featlvltlea, I take the liberty to make
a auggeallon along these lines.
Jt eeems a pity that people are allowed
to gather In the middle of the streets
along the line of inarch of the parade
only to be herded back againat the more
orderly ones on or behind the curbstone.
Tho disappointment In having one's
view obstructed after having patiently
waited an hour or more. Is little compared
with the discomfort of being bodily
thrown Into the path of this human
stampede, Juat at the moment when you
expect to eve something.
Hla royal highness would not allow his
faithful aubjects. much less his guests,
to auffer these discomfort If he knew;
and I am sure that those thoughtless
merry-makers, who. perhaps, uncon
sciously become rufftns during a brief
hour before the parade would gladly obey
his commands and with the timely aid of
the police keep the streets cleared from
urb to curb.
I should be pleased If In another year
the people of Omaha would not only
find themaelvea In the midst of beautiful,
moral amuaements, but for once they
could view the grand entry of their king
In a quiet, orderly way and that the
gruff "Oet-baek-there" of the mounted
police would become a thing pf the past.

Knnaaa nine' ftkr" Law.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. T.-To the
editor of The Bee: The last legislature of
Kansas enacted a law popularly known
as the "Blue Pky" law. This act re-
qures all companies offering stocks,
bends or other securities for sale In Kan
sas to secure formal permission from the
banking department.
A comprehensive report as to the finan
cial standing, plan of operation, organisa
tion, etc., la required. The department
also Investigates the reputation and
financial standing of the directors, and,
if deemed necessary, expert opinion as to
physical valuation and other data, Is se
cured. During seven months that this law has
been In force over WO companies have
sought permission to offer their securi
ties to the people ot Kansas. But forty
four of these have met the rigid require
ments of the department. Many fake
promoters did not file applications, but
like the Arab, "folded their tents and
ilently stole away." One concern went
as far aa Winnipeg, Canada, to escape
the jurisdiction of the department. A
Utah mining promoter Is now languishing
In jail and faces Imprisonment and fine
for selling stock wthout a permit.
The people of Kansas have been vic
timised, so the bank commissioner states.
to the extent of $4,000,000 to t8.000.000 each
year by fake promotion schemes.
Few Investors could afford to go to the
expense of a personal Investigation, and
many did not know how or where to
secure desired Information. Under this
aw Investors accept the permit of the
banking department as a certificate of
corporate "moral character."
That administration of the law by .T. N.
Dolley, th bank commissioner, and F. J.
Patridge, special deputy In charge of In
vestment companies, has been such that
the Kansas people accept their certi
ficate in lieu of a personal Investigation.
Especially Is this true In the smaller
towns, and In the country, where people
do not have easy access to other sources
of Information.
The writer personally sold $2,ooe worth
of Industrial slock to a farmer who had
never owned a stock certificate before,
simply because he had "that paper from
Dolley."
Kansas Is the first state to supervise
the sale of stocks and bonds. The law
has attracted attention from practically
every state In the union. British and
German consuls have asked lor a copy
for transmission to their respective gov
ernments.
Legitimate companies find that it saves
many annoying delays in disposing ot
securtles to private Investors. A straight
forward, honeat company need only see
Its report Is complete, and the permit 1
issued promptly and at a nominal

As Mr. Bryan has recently declared
solemnly that he will never again be a
candidate for the presidency, any reve
lation that he may 'now make of his
qualifications for that office must be re
garded as having only an historic Inter
eat. Even so, however, It seems worth
nil t notlc auoh an exhibition of
ouality aa that given in his challennge to
Prealdent Taft "to mak publlo th
written and verbal recommendations
ipon which b appointed Justice White
to position of chief juatlce over Jus-
tic liar Ian. and th recommendations,
written and verbal, on which he appointed
th other Justices whom he haa plaoed
on the suprems bench." By way of
answer to Mr. Tail's challenge to pro
rue an example of restraint of trade
that would not come under the scope of
the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust de
cisions, this Is a brlllaat stroke of con
toverslal genius; and were It not for
Mr. Bryan's unfortunate renunciation ot

looked upon as foreshadowing the next
paramount lasu of th peerless leadr.

that appointments to the supreme court

THE CHANGING SEASON.
F. T. Nelson In New York Pun.
The horsehlde clays are ending, !
The pigskin, tinys draw near
When the oblate spheres take the place
laie honored by the sphere.
The stolen base la out of date.
Around the end men go,
And Ktrlkes and balls have given way
xo tacKies nura ana low.
No more will multitudes applaud
i ne Rrtist or the box;
The fickle crowd the halfback cheers.
Who laughs at foemcn'a knocks. j

The fan with pad and pencil dopes
The next year's pennant out.
While rah-rah boys mak welkins ring
With cabaliatio shout.
The symbol with the seasons change?
For each stout striving team;
The Diamond has had Ita day, I
The Gridiron la supreme
