To those who believe in the fundamentals of American In stitutions as Interpreted and 'main tafned by the party of Lincoln, Mc- Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft this speech comes with a force of logic far too great for resistance. The speech completely vindicated the choice of temporary chairman: MadeJn the very vortex of fiercest a(lm.6ny, it was signally free of the suggestion of rancor. The beneficent efferctof this may be realized best by Inverse ratio, so to speak. Let us Imagine exactly the opposite kind of speech made at this time and conjure. if we can, what would have been Its effect. Tact, wisdom and all the powera that make an intellectual stent reside in Ellhu Root. They. iskved 'tne day. Whatever may, en sue, Senator Root, by simply resort ing to a plain discussion of facts, ap pealing to reason and not passion, rendered a distinguished service, al ways to be appreciated. Xeneved Attack on Civil Service. Little fear, we think, need be en- terUined for the survival of the civil service system after this democratic house has gone out of existence, but nevertheless the people should not be indifferent to the fact that If the bousa had the power It would destroy civil service and turn the - country over once more to the viclous old spoils system. That Is precisely what the house bill,' backed by Champ Clark, Chair man "underwood and other demo cratic leaders, contemplates. 'Z Of course even if such a thing should happen as the bill's passing the sen ate, which is most unlikely, the pres ident could never be depended on to approve it, for no president has ever gone .quite as far with civil service reform as has Mr. Taft. It win require more than ordinary sophistry, even for a Champ Clark, to explain away this brazen, attempt at destroying a system for which the people clamored long and Insistently and believe In as 6ne of the most es sential', elements . in . governmental justice and usefulness. Some Simple Remedies and Beformi. x Doubtless many .readers of. The Bee iiave come to the conclusion; after perusing the series of articles by our city commissioners on what they want to do for Omaha, that the making of a bigger and better Omaha" Is, after all,' a Very simple thing. , Well, it ia. In the main. At least, t involves simple things. For ex amplest has been pointed out that Individuals may help much to im prove "sanitation and appearances by keeping - their own ground yards, Vacant lots, alleys, sidewalks and streets free of refuse and rubbish, both' downtown and in the residence districts. These are little things, taken separately, but in the aggre gate, they make one of the very big gest 'problems with which any city has to deal. - i vfe need no new charter or larger self-governing powers to do all this, Ve do need just a little more thoughtful civic pride, though, and each resident of Omaha should prod himself to see if the lack is in htm. Here is an opportunity to help the new officials help us. , Let's em brace it. . '." j t-i Cn Swatting the Fly. - . JMnqng the other oddities of the season'is the conspicuous absence of "the. fly..'

WHAT IWANT TO DO FOR OMAHA ' By Joseph B. Hummel, Commissioner in Charge of Parks and Boulevards. What I want to do for Omaha Is more folks. What are our parks for if not to than I can do under conditions as tbev exist' I am la tha same position and f the same, mind as other members of the commltSion-I find my aspirations re- strlcted by conditions that only a new charter and the power of local self-gov- ttntmi pan change. i .w 4w.A.i..'nMuin t am -anxious first for a' modern lighting system all over the city.

Of course. In all our financial plans we have to cut our clothes accord- ing to the amount of cloth We have. It is not good reform or good business or good sense to pitch in after a lot of things we know we have no money to. pay lor and no way of getting the money. I think as to our parks we should let the blue grass go to seed In one of the larger ones and cut It for seed to be used elsewhere. Our people want and. should have places for comfortable rest and rec- reatlon, and we cannot glv them to much of this In our parks. Their limit. should be developed-that is, they should be Improved up to their limits. Now, I would provide for tt.e pleasure, In the parks of young and old. T would see that we have comfort stations for all, ample grass, modern sanitary bubble drinking fountains and plenty of them, swings and wading pools for tr.e little folks. Every park should have, a wading pooi for the children. It would be a treat boon, a place of delight In the hot weather, and It would be a fine thing to , provlde swimming' pools for th older WHY LIVING COMES HIGH American People Ignorant of True Economy. : New; Tork Journal of Commerce. It costs more to live because the mass of the people live bettor and think they really must have many things. In order to be comfortable which they, could do without," If they" had to without feeling privation. ''"'" ; y ' '; The improved standard of living . Is a desirable thing and pinching economy ia not commend able when it ia not necessary though always maintaining' a -margin of earning above spending is always praise worthy as well as prudent But there Is a great deal of extravagance and luxury whloh lis wickedly wasteful,'.' It uses up the materials, the substance that goes to the sustenance and comfort of people, and .tends to create Inequality Jn the distribution of the fruits of r labor. Tf half of that, which Is squandered in lav ish and unwholesome living wore left In the general supply Instead of oelng In ordinately consumed by the self-indulgent few, It would make a substantial dif ference In the price of things. Not only Is much- more devoured or used up than. Is - wholesome .for . mankind, . but a vast leal Is thrown away in sheer waste. The expensive hotels and restaurants and the lordly mansions where banquets are given utf up an' tmntflrtse snare of the cnotceSt -products and materials to the depletion of the stock Upon Which those . of mod est means or small income must depend. There Is a fallacious Idea of economic dvantage In luxury and extravagance because It ? makes work and gives em ployment to many. There Is no occasion to decry that Which gratlfleo taste and contributes to' refinement or elegance of living,' but there Is much that 1 sheer superfluity, which turns much material and labor to no use but the gratification of gross appetite or vulgar display.

' I should like to second what has been said by the mayor; 'that these commis- sloners are ready to receive suggestions from those who have advice to give us that may help us In our work for tbem. I really think that every one of the seven men recently elected under the new form of city government feels quite keenly ris responsibility to the taxpayers' and pre- fers to. do what they would like to have done. But w must , take the Initiative and that calls for acting upon our Juflg- ment In many cases, you know. . and If bestowed upon other lines of pro duction would increase the supply and lower the cost of that wtden ministers to comfort. .The greediness and .selfUhuesa of those who have mora ..than enough, who do not mind what things cost or how much they, pay for, are depriving a multitude of others of what thoy aro better entitled to, because their extrava gance takes all. the best, depletes the stock ' and makes " the Inferior, high priced; ' ' The cost If high living, the lavish using up of the products of labor by those who can afford It is One of the causes of the high coat of living for those of small means. Another Incident of the Improved standard of Mvlng..ls thai too little at tention Is given to making a little go far.

Living costs more because peo ple insist. Upon living better, which is not to be deprecated within the limits of mod eration. It Is the excess, the waste,- the gobbling -of the ;greedy or the heedless, and the little thought of those who have for those who have not, that la respon sible for much privation and misery. -At 7 o'clock five mule I teams with camp supplies and provisions had arrived on the ground,. .but at 7:30 there was not a sign of an automobile.
