Dfrcocrats Ilave a Chairman Fight.
The fight for temporary chairman
of the democratic national convention
In Baltimore promises to be pecu
liarly interesting because it is likely
to draw the lines of distinction very
close between Bryan and some of his
old adherents.
Champ Clark, for instance, always
heretofore a Bryan man and not even
now an ex-Bryan man, is said to pre
fer Senator Ollie James of Kentucky,
another old-time Bryan war horse,
for temporary chairman. Mr. Bryan,
however, next to himself, is reported
to favor Senator O'Gorman of New
York, occasionally mentioned as a
prospective running mate of the Ne-
braskan in the event of the latter's
fourth nomination, or the ultra radi
cal Congressmen Henry of Texas.
Then there are others in the race
for temporary chairman Theodore
A. Bell of California, a 6taunch
Bryan man, also a friend of Clark,
who has done the job before, and
Congressman Clayton of Alabama,
among the number. Ic certainly seems
that the Chicago convention is not
going to be permitted to monopolize
the country's interest when it comes
to organizing. By which it is plain
that, for some reason or other, Mr.
Bryan Is still determined to continue
as commander-in-cbief of the demo
cratic party.
The Amy Bill.
Whatever need may exist for pass
ing the army bill so as to wipe out
of existence a number of officii po
sitions and prevent certain officers
from attaining the rank of chief of
staff, congress should be sure that
its action Is entirely free from ani
mus of petty prejudices, its feeling
toward an individual or an organiza
tion should certainly not Impel it to
enact legislation tending to cripple
the service, or palsy this important
arm of the government, the army.
If it were not necessary to maintain
a standing army, It would be abol
ished entirely. . It certainly is not
necessary or wise to maintain an
inadequate or Inefficient organiza
tion. There is no doubt some merit
in this bill, which the senate has re
fused to consider, but it seems
equally true that there is some
thing beside merit also.
Buffalo's Koine Education.
The special effort of the Buffalo
committee of the North American
Civic League for Immigrants has
been to instruct unskilled housekeep
ers among alien women in the essen
tial art of home management good
cooking, cleanliness and comfort. A
woman for. general superintendent
has three paid workers and twelve
volunteer assistants, who go Into the
homes of the foreign families and
teach tho womeh how to do their work
as it should be done. 'The results
ara said to be mtfst gratifying.
Now, this certainly looks like prac
tical benevolence and if jit really can
be done successfully In Buffalo, why
not in other cities? We imagine it
is needed in many native American
homes as well as tne homes of some
aliens. . But It Is quite probable that
the American would not take as
kindly to such Instruction as her sis
ter from abroad. One thing is cer
tain,' amelioration of the home means
amelioration In its ..simplest and sur
est form. Buffalo's good women are
doing a ''good work.
. The Silversmiths.
'Ah exchange, which ventures to as
sert that special' interests have a
larger hand In governmental, affairs
today than ver In the history of any
country, evidently has tdrgotten some
of the; experiences ot the Apostle
Paul. ."' ''
' JTroar 'Athens to Jerusalem, con-
deiflhins Idolatry of "unknown gods,"
Paul 6ffend'd none' so much as those
silversmiths who were in the busi
ness of jnaking these metal Images
for foolish people to worship. Felix,
Festus and Agrippa were easy for
Paul to satisfy, as compared with
these captains of industry, who saw
the foundations of their magnificent
temples of trade crumble and crum
ple Into ruins If this preaching of
Paul's took too firm a grip upon the
masses. Felix very quickly washed
bis hands of the apostle, and passes
him over to Festus, and Festus ad
mits he finds nothing really bad in
the man and insists on throwing th
responsibility directly upon Caesar,
whereupon King Agrippa, himself, in
terposes and is so far from convince!
ot any heinousness in the reformer
that he finally exclaims. "Almost
thou persuadest me to be a Chris
tian."
But all this while, not a silver
smith relents. Orders fall off with
each riBlng'wave of Paul's popularity
and the market drags. Something
must be done and In the course ot
time something was done.
These modern silversmiths In the
steel and powder business, for in
stance, who think It is Impossible, to
exceed the limit, of "appropriations
for naval and . military extensions,
carry one's m'tact, irresistibly, back
to the recollection that, aside from
their patriotic concern for their na
tion, their business is the manufac
ture of steel and powder. And they
are rather active today.

WHAT I WANT TO DO FOE OMAHA
By Dan B. Butler, Commissioner in Charge of Accounting.
What I propose to do for Omaha as
one of It first councilman elected under
the commission form of city government
is, first to exert all the Influence I have
to secure local self-government for the
city, It was on that principle I, in com
mon with sis other gentlemen, went be
fore the voters In the recent election and
obtained their commission to come here
to this city hall and do business for
them for three years.
So I consider that I have no option
in the matter, although I must say that
my own mind makes me determined in
favor of this local self-government. We
simply must have that to put Omaha
ahead as It deserves to go. That, then,
comes first
One of my bobbles, If I may call it
that, is a better downtown lighting sys
tem. But we can't do all we should do
until we have more money, and we can
not get more money until we get a
charter of our own making that will
enable us to levy taxes as we, the people
of Omaha, see that we ought to levy
them. We can, within the year, improve
our lighting system from the Tenth
street depots, up as far as Eighteenth
and Farntm in front of the city hall and
this will be a big improvement
Another feature Of the new work in
which I take great pride and have great
faith is hls purchasing department cre
ated by the new commission law and
placed under the supervision of my de
partment. It Is going to save the tax
payers much money. We have found that
out already. With a purchasing agent In
personal charge, devoting his entire time
to this work, the possibilities for scien
tific buying and economy are large, as
anyone can see. We shall not have to
bother to make contracts for purchases
of less than 150, which will net a saving
In Itself.
I have already instituted the system of
paying city employes on the works, which
Is a worthy one. I am sure it saves the
employe the time and trouble of coming
to the city hall for his pay, and, of
course, operates advantagously for the

Pertinent Comment on Matters of Interest.
The JJelsrlon Riot.
To an ingenious system of plursl voting
which enables a minority to overcome
the majority may be traced the cause
of the riots following the recent election
In Belgium. The disturbances have sub
sided, the authorities are Invoking the
law against the leaders, and property
owners are taking stock of what was
destroyed or stolen by the looters. Back
of the wreckage and the attempted revo
lution lie the animosities aroused by
political campaigns for tha overthrow of
the dominant clerical party. Belgium has
a controlling Catholic population. The
parochial schools of the church until re
cently have been the chief educational
agency. The Introduction of public
schools without religious Instruction pro
voked rivalry.. Both systems being sup
ported In the race for the publlo treasury,
which grew in Intensity as the school
factions struggled for advantage. In the
preceding Chamber of Deputies the fac
tions were too evenly divided to score,
but fo?ed an appeal to the country. The
result of the last election gave the cleri
cals 101 members of the chamber, against
forty-four liberals, thirty-nine socialists
and two social democrats, a clear major
ity of sixteen. Manhood suffrage Is s-J
hedged In that the man who cannot show
a tax receipt or a school diploma Is a
minor force at the polls. Payments of
taxes on property gives the owner an ad
ditional vote, if h Is also a graduate of
a high school or a college, he gains an
other vote. The heads of families, with
out either qualifications, become double
voters. Taxpayers, heads of families and
professional men are entitled to one or
two extra votes. Only a small percent
age of. socialists, recruited from the
working clashes, qualify for plural voting.
Hence the "plain people." unvexed by
taxes, hleher education or families, ar
readily outvoted. The results, while not
a victory, prove them to b numerically
strong and valiant campaigners under the
handicap. As rioters they are a dismal
failure.

In reviewing the growth of paternalism
In Germany Joseph T. Orth la World's
Work thus summarises the situation: "A
laborer may begin life attended by a phy.
siclan or nurse paid by the state; he Is
christened by a state clergyman; t
taught the rudiments of learning and his
handicraft by the state. He Is drafted
by the state Into the army, devoting two
of his best years to the drill sergeant. If
he falls 111, his suffering is assuaged by
the knowledge that his wife and children
are cared for. and that his expenses wl.
he paid during illness, and he spends his
convalescence in a sumptuous state hos
pital. If he falls victim to an accident,
the ample insurance, even It he be per
manently Injured, is a balm to his suf
fering. If he gets out of work, city and
state unite to find or make work for him
If he wanders from town to town In
search of work, the cities through which
he passes offer him tree hospitality. If
he wishes to move to another part of his
town, the municipal bureau will be gla
to help him find a Bouse, or even Unfl

rermlaaton to Prove Claims at End
of Three Years.
Philadelphia Record.
President Taft has signed the new
three-year homestead bill, wnlch permits
entrymen on public lands to prove their
claims at the end of three years Instead
of five years. The bill also further liber
alises the law In permitting five months'
absence from a claim each year and by
reduclng the acreage to be cultivated on
large claims from eighty to forty acres.
By making easier the terms of settlement
on public ' lands It is expected that a
check may be put upon the heavy ini
migration of American farmers to th
western Canadian provinces. It Is also
Intended as far as possible to offer In
creased inducement to immigrants arriv
ing In the United States who may make
new homes for themselves In the
sparsely Settled states where large
stretches of arable lands ire yet open to
occupation.' Tho high prices now obtain

city. It shuts off the warrant nuisance.
We are inducing the men to wait for their
pay direct and cut out the warrant
broker and loan shark. This will take
time for perfection. It cannot be done at
once. Neither would It be fair, even to
the money lender, to do it at once. He
must be given time to get his accounts
squared. This may. probably will, re
quire a few months. But the big point is
that in time we shall have put the em
ployes on a sound basis, where they and
their families will get 100 cents out of
every dollar they earn from the city and
stop giving the loan shark a large slice
of what they work so hard to get. Of
course, this will call for co-operation
from the employes, but we naturally
assume we can count on that, since the
reform la for their advantage, chiefly.
One of the biggest tasks confronting
Omaha right now is a modern and ade
quate sewer system, and If I may be
permitted to go outside of my own lm
mediate department Just here and say
what I want to help the other commis
sioners bring about. I will lay stress on
this. The city is building at a rapid rate,
erecting large structures downtown which
must have deeper and better sewers- than
we now have. We cannot afford to tem
porarise with this Important demand. It
calls for the speediest possible action the
city of Omaha can render. It would be
poor encouragement. Indeed, for those
who are putting their money into modern
buildings on a large scale, not to hustle
up with the construction of new sewers.
But, of course, this takes money, more
than our funds contain. We must en
large the supply In the sewer bond fund
at the earllst possible date. I want to
insist that if we are to proceed with
many of these urarent necessities we shall
have to open our purse strings a little
more generously.
As to my own department. It Is one with
which I am quite familiar and I am
giving my closest attention with the
view of making It as strong as any other

Lost and Woa.
Ten years ago last month the treaty of
peace which ended the existence of the
two Boer republics was Signed at Pre
toria. In the decade that has passed sine?
the fighting Dutchmen yielded to tho
force of overwhelming battalions and re.
sources they have recaptured the sub
stance of what they surrendered. The
government Is theirs. Only the Boer flag
is lost. In 1908 the two Boer colonies and
the two British colonies came together
as the Union of South Africa, with a
constitution modeled in many ways after
that of Canada. After the bonds of union
had been closely drawn the Boers pro
ceeded to take possession of the govern'
ment, which they have persistently held
ever since. They now have control not
only over the provinces that were for
merly the Bouth African republic and the
Orange Free State, but also over Cap"
Colony and Natal and large outlying dis
tricts. Political Vituperation,
By contrast and comparison with
British samples of political vituperation,
Amerilcans can afford to lift their heads
a trifle, moderate the feeling of shame in
duced by unseemly mud-slingtng and feel
some ..relief over the assurance that we
are not the worst of offenders. Listen
to the scream from the National Review
of London and compart it with our
moderation: "As a protest against the
infamoous conspiracy of a needy, greedy
cabinet of political charlatans and ad
venturers. In conjunction with the "kept'
party' of 'Molly Magulres,' subsidized by
our enemies In America to smash the
United Kingdom, that great community
of which Belfast Is the capital held a
demonstration in Easter. week to
resent an outrance the Impudent impend
ing effort to read them out of the United
Kingdom and too subject them to a gov
ernment compared with which Tammany
Hall would be pure and immaculate."
Movement Affalnst Dueling.
Germany's movement against dueling,

Who send challenges, whether they be
members of the army or not, dueling

EXrORCrS'G PURE FOOD LAWS.
Co-Operation of State and Federal
Regulations.
Philadelphia Record. .
In sustaining the Indiana pure food law
as constitutional the supreme eourt of
the United States afflrmtd the general
principle that a federal regulation of
Interstate commerce does not suspend
tho police power of a state. The right
to determine the quality of tha food of
fered for sale within its jurisdiction and
to iiafeguard Its Inhabitants from adul
teration Is inherent to a state as an
attribute of sovereignity. Furthermore,
the power of the states to enforce their
inspection law and to charge the coot
of Inspection on ' commodities brought
into them from other states or from
foreign countries, is expressly recognised
In the federal constitution. . The pure food
laws Of a state may Impose any require
ments ( deemed necessary for the public
welfare and good health and foods pro
duced In other states must come up to
these requirements, even though they be
different and more strict than those im
posed by federal law. Th- latter sup
plements, but cannot supercede, the state
