Governor. Morehead't Becommendations.
Governor Morehead's recommendations to
the legislature Include good, bed and Indif
ferent. Perusal of them suggests that the gov
ernor has been collecting heterogeneous sug
gestions from various sources, which he has put
together like a patchwork quilt without match
ing size, shape or color.
On the score of retrenchment and economy
he hits ont along lines blazed by his party plat
form, calling on the law-makers to make the
beginning in their own household. The gov
ernor would have the cost of conveying prison
ers come out of the county treasuries instead of
the state treasury, regardless of the different
distances, which would make this burden fall
very unevenly. He would also save money by
condensing all department reports, and printing
them s a single volume, but his pla'u to do this
printing with convict labor will evoke righteous
protest. Passing -appropriation bills as re
quested before the end of the first forty days
of the session In order to R'lve him time to con
sider items more carefully, would. In our Judg
ment, be a desirable, reform, although alto
gether put of reach.
The recommendation of four-year terms for
state oflccrs with ineligibility to re-election, is
along progressive lines. It Is a question, how
ever, whether It Is not coming too fast on the
heels of our recently adopted biennial elections.
It Is In lino With the short ballot movement, yet
the governor does not go as far aa he should
for converting minor elective offices Into ap
pointive positions. He favors modification of
the primary law to recognize filings by party
committees, a proposal fairly inviting serious
consideration.
The governor has let himself be persuaded
to endorse the lawyers' . demand, for re-cstah-Hhblng
a supreme court commission, although
every one was glad to get rid of It when it was
tried before. The creation of an intermediate
court of appeals seems mora feasible, but the
scheme to elect supreme Judges by districts, as
If it were the function of judges to represent
the sentiments of a constituency, strike us as
wholly vicious.
4 . , The' governor's other recommendations are
either reiterations of campaign pledges, such as
the warehouse law and legislation to stimulate
water powerj4cvelopment, or are comparatively
Inconsequential.
Missouri River Navigation.
The .project of a barge line on the Missouri
river from Omaha to points below 'is being re
newed, apparently with sincerity on the part of
its promoter's. It is not a question of feasibility,
but of availability. The- Missouri river Is as
susceptible of navigation today as at any time.
The point U whether there la traffic to make
profitable the venture. v
Waterway development has passed the ex
perimental stage, and In older and! more thickly
settled regions has been depended upon to sup
plement and relieve the railroads by carrying
tonnage of the more bulky, sort. That the Mis
souri riyer can be made Ao serve as a highway
of commerce is as certain as the ultimate de
velopment of the country through which 'H1
flows. v Whether the time Is at hand, is the
main point 'upon , which must, turn the success
fbt, the prevent project The element ot Income
from revenue earned must finally; control, and
this is a question of fact rather than of theory.

"Whafi ia a Namet" .
Here's a Nebraska man with an answer to
Shakespeare's question, and he doesn't believe
that "that which we call a rose, by any other
name would smell aa sweet." "Call me Jake and
111 sue you," U bis warning to his fellow, clti
tens, accompanying his announcement to the
effect that he wilt no longer patiently abide the
familiar cognomen by which he baa been desig
nated for thirty Vears.
"Jake"' doesn't carry with it any marked
degree of dignity, but what is dignity 'to the
undisguised affection of your fellow man? Dig
nity Is a personal quality, very desirable in the
right place, yet one must unbend at proper time
or be forever lost to the enjoyment of that fa
miliar intercourse with one's fellows ao neces
sary to life's trueet pleasures. Men have always
indulged a fancy -for pet names, nicknames and.
the like, and it Is a mark of either profound ad
miration or equal Indifference for a great man
to be familiarly called by some diminutive of his
baptismal cognomen or a sobriquet reflecting
some personal characteristic or achievement.
- Worse things may happen to a man than to
be called "Jake." or "Jack." or "Jim."
Organization in Baiine?i.
The Implement men are on the right track
in urging the dealers to unite with their local
cluba. This U not for the purpose of forming
a combine in restraint of trade., but rather U
means, organization for co-operation In the pro
motion of better business. Co-ordination of
effort has always been the basts of success in
business. System Is Just aa vital as- haphazard
methods are fatal. Danger of loss and. conse
quent failure and disturbance is minimised by
means .of legUliust'e co-operation through or
ganization of busiuess men. no matter is what
line of trad, aud the. public Is always gainer
when modern methods are properly applied.
Competition Is not eliminated through co-operation,
but Is stimulated and grows along benef
it vet. lines. Standardization lu business has
never operated to prevent individual effort, but
creates a better opportunity for its exercise', be
cause it withdraws attention from the Iftser de
tails of trade and permits coueeutrstlon on more
important aspects, and the development that
follows on the adoption of better ways of con
ducting commerce must be, of help to society.
"A low tariff on Ureas did uot help con
sumers," is the assurance of the New York
Journal of Commerce, in its review of last ysar's
trade. The famous "Rocky Road to Dublin" Is
a smooth blfiunay compared with the route a
bit of money ntunt travel nowadays to connect
with the consumer:

On January S. 1815. 100 years aso. General Andrew
Jackson and his Tennosaee riflemen put tha finishing
touches on what hlatory designates as tha war f

of C'halmette by a vailed program of events extending
ovef Friday, Haturday and Sunday. There will be

The Rrltii-h evpedltlon which entered Ike Borgn,
December 14. 191, was the most formidable In rnUItwy
nnir naval armament which Britain had sent acroaa
the Atlantic. It consisted of forty-eight armed vessels,
eome of them as carrying as many as eighty runs.
none less than thirty-eight, and fifteen transport's
loops. On board the vessels were 19.000 soldiers anj
about the same number of sailors and marines. Among
the troops were some of the moat renowned regiments
in the British irmyj regiments that had driven the
legions of Napoleon serosa the UpenLsh peninsula.
Theae were commanded by Rlr Edward Packenhain,
the .brother-in-law of Wellington, and he was aselatcl
by some of the most experienced and successful gen
erals that had serve In Spain.
General Jackson's fores consisted of a hetero
geneous mass of regulars, parts of the the Fourth and
Forty-fourth regiments Kentucky and Tennessee rifle

men. The actual battle began at 7 a, m. and was
over st t a.' m., so far as the Infantry was, concerned.
(General Jarkaoa'a Areoaat. ' ' , '
General Jackson's account of the battle told In a
letter to James Monroe and published In the Century,
Magasln Is as follows:
"There 'was a very heavy fog on the. river that
morning, and the British had formed and were mow
Ing before I knew It. The disposition of the riflemen
waa very simple. They were told off In numbers one
snd two- Number pns wss to fire first, then Step
back and let number two shoot while he reloaded.
About m yarda from the rtflemea there was a great
drainage canal running back from the Mississippi river'
to the swamp in the rear of the tilled land on wtilch
we were operating. Along this canal the.- British
formed, under the fire ef the few artillery pieces I
had near enough- to them to get their rang. But the
Instant 1 saw them I said to Coffee, whom I directed
to hurry to his Jin, which waa te be first attack:
'By . we have got them; they are our!' Coffee daahed
forward, and' riding along his line, called out, Upn't
shoot till you can see their belt buckles.' The British
were' formed In mass, well closed up, and about tw
companies front - ,
'The British, thug- formed, moved on at a quick
atep. without firing a shot, to within 100 yards of Ihe
kneeling riflemen, who were holding their fire till
they could see the belt-buckles' of thetr enemies.' The
British advanc waa xcut4 as though they had been
Tjn parade. They marched tahouMer to shauldar,. with
the step of veterans, as they"Wer. At' 100 yards'
distance from our line th' order was gtren, 'Exytvl

beydnets at the charge, they came en us at a run. 1

never sn such an attack, Ji6r had they ever before
fought whit men. Th morning, too, was damp; their
powder might not burn. well. 'Ood help ua!' I mut
tered, watching the rsptdly advancing Hn. Seventy,

silent kneeling riflemen. All of my men I could ae

They obeyed their order well; not a shot waa firaJ

th order a crackling, biasing ftaah ran all along our

called Tom Overton and Abner Duncan, of my tff,
and w galloped toward Coffee's Jlne. In a few sec

th smoke flfted enough for me to make out what

pose of boosting a. bill to prohlbit the
sahv of munitions of war to nations at
war. I wonder If the people really under
stand what such a bill would mean 7 It
"would hav the effect of placing a
premium upon a large military establish
ment In every country and the expendi
ture of larg sums upon munitions of war
In times of peace. It la well known thst
high explosives deteriorate In quality and
that they must be replaced from time Xo
time 1t they are not consumed In war or
otherwise. Th peaceful nation would
be at the mercy of the warlike and th
nation Oik Belgium, for Instance), when
attacked on her border by a prepared
neighbor, would b helpless.
We must not forget that the sponsor
of this measure was largely educated in
Germany and that he is more1 or less
filled with German Ideas 'and It ia not
strange that he wants to place th peace

Appeal of Aesoclated Charities.
OMAHA. Jan. E To th Editor of Th
Bee: The Associated Charities have been
criticised'. in Omaha, as well as tn every
other city, becauae of-so-called "over
head expense." This criticism has arisen
largely because the general public, while
not ladttng sympathy in the work, have
not rklly ' Understood the purpose' or
which 'th -Associated Charities are or
ganised. Business men realise that it
costs .money to perform any kind ef
service, especially where It is neoessary
to' closefy Investigate the field of en
deavor. The popular view ef charity,
however, ha been that th entire amount
of money given should igo to the Imme
diate relf of thoe In need, Where
circumstances are such that thta can
be done .it. is ot course, welcome. . So
few cases ever aria wher the cost of
distribution can be eliminated that I
believe the attention of the public ahouid
be called to this speclflo phase of char
ity 'and, som Information cn th subject
be given. , , . ,
Th wonderful work which the people
of the United States have done in send
ing help to Belgium la a caa in point.'
Up to data fourteen ships have landed
In Belgium and their cargoes distrib
uted to giv immediate relief, it Is not
generally known, that th Rockefeller
Foundation board appropriated 7S,000 te
pay for carrying this relief to Belgium,
and this appropriation covered only th
cost of transporting th first four ship
load. Th Rockefeller Foundation board
and th American Red Cross society both
sent their expert -invcstlgstors to Bel
gium 'to carefully laveattgat th needs
of th country before these organise
tlona could Intelligently' die tribute th
article of relief, and the Item, to
gether with, tha cost of transporting and
distributing, hav been equal to at leaat
60 or S per cent of the value of tn
donation. ,
At tha time ot - th tornado in Omaha
wa all witnessed the result ef efficient
management In th distribution of char
ity, and without thinking many would
say that th "overhead coef waa very
amaU. and so It was in actual dollars.
However, two of our bualneaa men have
since died a a result of everwork during
that "period. , The relief committee had
at ita command th service of dozens
of our best and ablest business men
free of charge lor several months. In
th value ot th servlcsa It I aaf to
say tbe "overhead" would hav run at
leaat M per cent ef the total relief.
Some organisation in every city should
be toad a clearing house for that work,
and thd Associated Charities aliould b
that organisation. Investigation is con
stantly necessary and must be made by
intelligent people aa a protection t any
one whe gives te charity in any form.
Our-cty ahouid be, protected against im
posture, of whom there i many. .In
vestigations ar made and record r.
kept - by the Associated Charities, not
only for Intelligently distributing relief
to th worthy, but for keeping families
together. Tbe board of the Associated
Charities is made up of representative
btislnea men and rapresentativea of all
the recogatsod and endorsed charities of
Douglaa county, and I la alin Is te be,,
buaineaa machine through which con
structive charity can be adreinlatered.
On this basis we axe appealing to th
good people of Omaha to support th
Associated Charities.

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE.
Henry p. Lyman-Whr-aton.
There are two klnda of people on earth
today:
Just two kinds of people, no more, I mv.
Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well
. understood
The good are half bad and the bad arc
half good.
Not the rich and th poor, for, to count
a man'a wealth
Tou must flrat know the state of his
conscience and health;
Not th humble and proud, for, in life's
little spent
Who pots on vain aire I not counted a
man.
Not the happy and sod, for the swift
flying year
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears.
No. the two kinds of 'people on earth that
I mean
Are th people who lift and the people
who lean.
Wherever you, go you will find. the World s
masses ..'
Are . always divided In Just these two
Clause;
And. oddly enough, you. will find, too, I
ween,
There Is only one lifter to twenty who
lean. .
In which class are you? Are you easing
the , losd ,
Of 'overtaxed lifters who toll down the
road ? ,
Or are -yot) a leaner, who lets) others
bear -
Your portion of labor and Worry and
. care? .
