Champ Clark's toll speech may, as report. i?ay, have been his greatost, but not because ot the repeated references to himself and his own personal fortunes and misfortunes. What, will It profit Champ to get the president's Roat and lot, his noun' dog! Exchange, Tho question. loses its force for two reasons. Champ lost his noun' dog at Baltimore and Is yet to get the president's goat One of our Justices ot tho peaco complains because the Justice court do not command the respect properly due them. There Is always one obvious way to raise the standards of the Justice courts. Of course, when an Indicted lawyer "settles' with Ills alleged victims he Is aa complotoly "exonoraled" and as fully "vindicated" aa tho one who gets off because the vital witnesses aro out of town. "Pure Elections" in Council Bluffi. That Is an Interesting story of election methods practiced In the city olectlon Just held across the river In Council Bluffs which corner from tho responsible local newspaper published there. According to this authority, the democrats had possession of a big boodlo fund for the pur pose of colonizing and buying votos under the old pretense ot hiring "workers." The amazing thing is that this nefarious work was carried on so boldly and openly, and that the Council Bluffs office of tho Omaha World-Herald, the great democratic organ of reform, should have been turned into tho paymasters' wicket, where tho "workers" wero to cash In their orders when O. K'ed for having voted right. Fortunately, the democratic conspiracy to buy the Council Bluffs election failed ot its main purpose, al though apparently successful In sohio minor places on the ticket. That, however, is not tho fault of the corruptlonints. People who want pure elections, not only la Omaha, but In neighboring cities as well not to disfranchise the honest foreign-born voter, but to stop dishonest colonizing, repeating and purchase of votes would like to see the 111 lifted on tho recent proceedings over the bridge. a ees, According to the World-Herald, a republican wlus out for mayor of Council Bluffs "by only 83.' Gee! If they only had known it was that olose thoy would have paid oft a few more "workers" In the World-Herald Council Bluffa office. Mr. Charles O Alton and Mlsa IJlle E.

The President's Mastery. Whatever may bo done In the senate with tho bill repealing the exemption clause of the canal tolls act, the voto on it in the house marks the complete mastery of President Wilson over that branch ot congress. Tho president has proved, even with Clark, Underwood, Fitzgerald and other powerful democratic leaders thunder ing their protosts against him, he is able to porsuado, not only tho house to reverse its ac tion, but also to force his party to ropudiate its plain platform pledgo. To be 'sure, aa things now stand, with tho ultimate form of the bill uncertain and an early voto Improbable, it is still to bo seen whether the president's power to command obedience to the voice from tho White Houso will bo equally rcsultful at the other end ot the capital. This much Is cortaln, that without the pro pelling forco of the president's appeal the move ment to secure rescinding of tho free tolls pol icy, so objectionable to Great Britain, would never havo gotton under headway. In other words, It Is essentially an executive act, and not a legislative act, for no one will contend, or pretend, that tho house divided on the merits of tho question. Its larger significance is its emphasis ot the growing tendency to subtract power from congress and transfer it to the White House. Tho logical end ot this tendency, if permitted to go on unhindered, is subversive of the fundamental idea ot government by co ordinate branches. Tho belief is general, how over, that the reaction is inevitable. Many are convinced It has already set in and will before long bring us back nearer to the balance ot au thority originally contemplated by tbe founders of tho republic. It Is worth while noting that tho protests against the executive overshadow ing of congress does not come solely from the political opposition, but fjesa all tho political parties, and especially tbe president's own dem ocratic following. Our Consular Service. Secretory Bryan contributes to the current issuo ot The Nation's Business a very Instruc tive article on our consular service, of which 'ho says American business men apparently aro so poorly informed. "It is surprising to loam," says Mr. Bryan, "that many of our citizens aro unaware ot tho exlstonco of a consular service which roaches to tho four corners ot the world, Others seem to bollevo that consuls aro maintained In for eign countries for tho express purposo ot enter taining traveling Americans and to perform the combined duties ot tourist agent and social sec retary." Ho then enumerates some of the ex ceedingly Important duties ot these agents abroad, 000 in all. Commercial reporting Is but one, and by no means the largest duty. An other more Important one is reporting to the Treasury department the correct values of for eign merchandise Imported Into this country. Undervaluations by shippers frequently result in groat loss ot revenue to Uncle Sam. To every cabinet department tbe consuls make respective reports on dlttorent matters. Through them our nation keeps its finger on the pulso ot the world about it, very largoly. The secretary points out that the consular service as now organized dates from 1006. De velopment even more recently, during tho ad ministration ot President Tatt, is now bearing excellent fruit. President Taft and Secretary Knox realized the necessity ot applying the civil sendee rules rigidly' to secure the maximum, ot efficiency, and It is gratifying that this princi ple is still being adhered to.. These men must become exports to be ot any great service. It was under tho Tatt administration that tho sys tem waa Inaugurated of bringing tho consuls' home periodically and having them go about the country advising business men of the fac tors to be dealt with in foreign markets. Our consuls at some of the larger European capitals have shown that one chlet reason why Amer icans lag behind others in commerce there is because they havo not given the same amount of study to the needs and desires ot the people, suiting their wares accordingly. Our merchants and manufacturers should make vso of the government's agents in this way tar more than they do, but even as It is the con sulates, as Secretary Bryan shows, play a very big and Important role for us abroad. Every postofflce bill passed by congress con tains mall contracts in the nature of ship subsi dies, so it cannot be merely from prejudice against building up an American merchant ma rine that the democrats respond to the British demand for repeal ot free tolls. Politics In a Democratic ToTrn. COLUMBUS, Neb.. Starch M.-To the Editor of The Bee: I noticed an item In your Sunder issue about the "cltl tena' ticket" placed In the field this spring by a "harmonious" gathering of our representative cltlicns, and feel that a word ot explanation might not be out ot place. I first want to say that my father was a democrat, I am a democrat and expect to be one at least on national Issues, and my son Is a democrat. For this reason I feel privileged to comment on the actions of my own party, and, ir possible, warn them of their, danger. PJfttto county is, now andWs been for years tho banner democratic county of tho atate. The politics ot Columbus han for years been controlled by as un scrupulous a bunch of politicians as ever scuttled a political ship, and tho people have stood for It, for they did not think they could help themselves. In the spring of 151$ a call was made for the organisation ot a "cltlxens' " party to Improve the almost Intolerable conditions. The convention waa held and the different nominees named, and things ran along uiMl the eleventh hour, when the city clerk was told to advise the cltl xens' nominees that their names could not be placed upon the ballot. The mat ter waa taken to court and the district Judge finally decided that "while he was not quite clear on the point" at Issue he "guessed" the point waa well taken. Those familiar with Platte county poli tics "guess" they know why the Judge "guessed" aa ho did, Nothing was left for the citizens to do but to write In the names of their candidates, and the result showed that with anything like an even show the old ring would havo lost out by an overwhelming majority. This year another convention was called and every precaution made to avoid the fate of the year before, the dates of the democratic and citizen's conventions were the same, but In different buildings. When the "eltixen'a" began to gather they found the democrats had the hall packed with henchmen who took posses sion by mere force ot numbers, nominated a state which had been printed for them, adopted the "eltlsen's" platform and ad journed and Immediately reconvened as a democratio convention, nominated tho ticket they had Just nominated on the citizen's ticket and adjourned, feeling secure for at least another year. How tho good citizens of Columbus can put up with a condition of this kind I do not know. It Is said they can elect a "yellow dog" In my ward providing It has a democratio brand on It and I am sometimes forced to think they are about right There Is no question but what. If the people could have an opportunity to ex press themselves .at the polls, the bunch In control ot our city affairs would be turned down. It Is also evident that they know this and will stop at nothing to keep the people from expressing their wishes. AX AMEIUCAN-OERMAN DEMOCRAT, Experience- of a Working Woman. OMAHA, April. l.-To the Editor of The Bee: I take the pleasure of writing a tew lines for publication ot the experi ence of a working woman out in the world. The arUole I write, T venture to say, la a. truo statement and worth While for the public to read and get wise to the facta of what they have to contend with. I believe the public at large does not know what a working person has to put up with when out in the world, getting. In with all kinds ot people. I havo been out In the world doing for myself tor the last fifteen years. And I have not found It very pleasant yet. What haa a person got to live for when one haa to take the abuse from the ones they are working under. I think it fierce when a person of a high-minded opinion ot self respect and of a religious nature has to hear all kinds ot talk and slang. I find It so in laundries and hotels, es pecially in hotels, when the chefs will use all kinds ot language to the girls, and without any reason at all. AVhat does the proprietors care for a girl who Is down And out and no place to go, and without alms? They turn them out on the street sick, and then who is their friend but the hospital and the, doctor? It there was ever any good done It Is through the hospital and the doctors. Teople of today care not for anyone, but the dollars and cents. What do some caret They Insist on a poor girl selling her pride and sometimes her virtue tor the price to get fine clothes and plenty of money. People ot today look at It In this light, as1 long as you have money you are all right, and when you are down and out they have no use for you. Girls, beware of those fellows who have a signet ring on with a snake'a head In It. and red eyes. Beware of them, girls. When you are in trouble throw your handkerchief over your right shoulder where some officer will see it, and he will come to your assistance. What If I would sell myself for ray thing, all they would do would be to laugh at me. No, I would die ot starvation first. Why is It that girls go wrong? Be cause they are not getting sufficient wages to support themselves. They say go to foreign fields to do missionary work. There Is plenty of It right In Omaha. And Kantis City is the next place. It all girls that work In hotels and dlf, ferent places of tbe like would turn on the ones that aro talking so harsh and rude to them and using vulgar language to them; would use a weapon or use the law on there, there would not be so much of this done. Trusting this may appeal to all the respectable citizens of Omaha, I am as ever yours for suffering hu manltyT J. H. O. Aimed at Omaha lixsiuple of flare Tlnalnesa Mnnniceiticnt. St. Joseph Gazette: Somebody with rare business sense and personal Integrity had charge ot the dis tribution ot the Omaha tornado relief fund. A report ot the committee which handled this work shows that 120,000 was paid out to storm sufferers at a cost of but 15,500 for the Work. That was loss than i per cent "overhead expenses. Probably no business en terprise In the tntlre city was half so economically conducted during the same lime. Conelstenry Missing from the Jewel Hot. Columbus Telegram: An Omaha city offlclat has nnnounccd that the daylight saloon law was enacted for the benefit of fatmers only, and not Intended to be enforced In the Jargest cltler. That foolish official advocates the setting aside ot certain tetrHory in Omaha where tho state law shall not apply. On the same theory some country statesmen might ask that a certain territory In a certain county shall be s.t aside for the benefit of horsethlees. sjm5 that tho laws of Nebraskn shall not bo enforced against b.orv thieves in that territory. In oroer to be comflsttnt the Omaha officials should now set asldo a certain part of the city in which Omaha lawyers may prac tice blackmail without fear of the state law against blackmail. And It might also bo well for the Omaha officials to set asldo certain territory in which murder may be freely perpetrated without fear of tho state law. Omaha city officials nre always brilliant, bu. sometimes they are cruelly Inconsistent. Sidelight an llrnir Democratic llnrmony. York Graphic: As n sidelight on democratic har mony be it remembered that Senator Hitchcock, though In Omaha at the time, was too busy to at tend the Bryan birthday banquet in Lincoln. Consolation In the Comparison. Lincoln Star: All of the civic factors of Omaha will doubtless feel like extending a cordial vote of thanks to Superintendent Carron of the Antl-Kaloon league for his tip that Lincoln is a hotbed of Iniquity which he Is determined to purge of It3 rottenness by fire nnd sword. As a highly virtuous community, Omaha must appreciate this Information from one who devotes so much diligent attention to uncovering the cankers of communities. When a Plutocrat Goes Traveling. Seward Hlnile: A man from Omaha went to sleep In a Fremont hotel with a roll of 11.000, tinder his plf tow. Next morning this plutocrat forgot all about his money snd went for a walk. He Is a newspaper man and cares nothing for money. No Bed of rtosrs for Lawyers' Victims. York Graphic: "A lawyer's life Is no bed of roses," according to a cartoon recently in The Omaha Dally Bee. So wo opine. And life Is no bed ot roses for anybody who haa occasion to mix up with either. What Abont the Last Dollar t Norfolk News: At a recent meeting a number of Omahans told how they made their first dollar. It might be embarrassing If they told how thoy made their last one. Good Cover for th Nnmeront'KIcki, Eustls News: Commissioner Kugel of Omaha blames the S o'clock closing law for many crimes. Verily, verily, that poor law covereth a multitude ot kicks.

Twice Told Tales To call the newspaper dismissal ot Superin tendent Graff a "premature publication" puts it mildly. Some folks might refer to it aa "a braxen fake." But no doubt the wish waa father to the thought of those who perpetrated the fake. Philadelphia finds pleasure in gloating over the fact that New York is the only city where horse cars are still in use. Philadelphia may also vaunt itself over Gotham In tbe base ball business.

Tho attitude ot the democrats with respect to the neck of land that they assert was stolen from Co lombia, by the repahlicans reminds us of an episode In the life of a respcctablo colored family in Georgia "Mommy," said Sarah's pickaninny,' "I ain't net her seen no eech watermelons as dey Is In Cunnel Howell's patch.

There arc heroes who have never Hoard the fearful din of battle, Heroes who, unknown forever. Labor where no sabers rattle; There arc heroes who arc giving Joy to others day by day. Who aro making life worth living Just by earning honest pny. There arc heroes who ure wearing No bright medals for their merit; Heroes who may not be sharing Splendor that the proud Inherit: There aro heroes who prefer the Tasks of, righting wrongful things. And thus make themselves more worthy Than the pampered sons of kings. There are heroei, uncomplaining. Who are striving dally, yearly, So the goals we would be gaining May each morning shlno more clearly; There nrc heroes, unrewarded, Who, by tolling late and long In surroundings that aro sordid, Help the luckless to be strong. There arc heroes with wan faces. Who uplift their fallen brothers; Heroes who. In lowly places, Labor for the love of others. Why not pause sometimes to cheer them For the courage they reveal?
