Senator Root's speech !n accepting
the temporary chairmanship of. the
republican national convention was
a masterpiece of dispassionate' logic,
ft -Was a penetrating iIea for party
regularity, based upon the historical
faf t that the greatest reforms and ad
rauces 1s government Lave come
through the medium of organized
party'und; with very little exception.
through -the republican party.- lit
showed that Irregularity meant Irre
sponsibility. 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.

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

Cn Swatting the Fly. -
. JMnqng the other oddities of the
season'is the conspicuous absence of
"the. fly..' The swat-the-fly crusader
stand ready with their swatters and
have so stood for some time, but
there' Is nothing to swat, not .in this
sectlon:,as yft. : The housewives are
not grieving over this, of course, but
it must twit them Just a little to
think, how perfectly beautifully tbey
wire prepared for the deadly enemy,
which has come not, 'at least not. In
afiy nunVbcrs. .
If there were pessimists among
women,'.tbey would now be saying! 'to
"Ah, if we had not or
ganized to kill the pests they would
be ii pott us in droves."' Our advice
would "be not to disband the organi
zation.'' The fly may only have, re
sorted, temporarily to a warmer li-
mate, "awaiting the final passage f
winter here, and when the sun be-
lio'ihe with anything likje rig-
ufartty. n$ may swoop aown nrtonp.
Or; U may- even, be that the work of
cleaning up the haunts of the-fly fce
tually has had Its effects. We may

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

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

treat boon, a place of delight In the hot

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. The
labor employed In panderln.i to this Kind
of demand is worse 'than thrown away

' 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.
Our people do not eoonomlse in the true
sense of the word by making the most of
what they have. ' The oommon people of
France have a reputation for thrift and
'economy, acquired by a careful and pru
dent habit -of wasttnir nothtnr and ap
plying sklll' (o making' the beat of -theft;
material.-'This is not meanness or peT
nurfouBtiess, unless carried to an extreme
. which -the means of the person , doea not
justify. It Is getting comfort and ease out
of a little by making much of it v Most
people, who have no superfluous; Income
get much less out of what they bavethan
they might by giving thought and taking
paiiig,vThere, Is more to divide than'tver
before .. and v the individual shares : are
greater, though distributed with more in
equality. 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. '
"In Dubuque, which was the base of
supplies,- the automobiles and mule teams
vied with each other to make the belt
showing in the time It takes to get to th
front, -and the' loads that can be carried.
A couple of the automobiU -came to grlof
on the hnis'of the city, and the" mule ha-t

What is the brilliant erratic, ficklo

SUMMER RESORT KEEPER
Denver Republican.
Who wouldn't keep a glad resort ,
. For those who quit the town
In search of rest or health or 'sport, -v
And eplderm of brown. -. "
Who wouldn't lure the weary soul . -
Who turns from city gay. .
And separate him from his roll
- In efficacious wayf
Who wouldn't skimp on table fare
And Charge the Broadway rate,
And tax for water and for air?
The chance for gain is great;
Who wouldn't rent as saddle stock,
Old Dobbin from the plow? - t
The Wall street game It beats a block
The game that's open now.
. ; . i
Who wouldn't locate on the sea.
Or In a mountain nook.
And run a -hostery
As per the railroad book?
Who wouldn't advertise that fish
Yield to the simplest means, '
And, When for trout the boarders wish
. Regale 'em with sardines?
