Give the Country a Rett.
Senator Hoke Smith's forecast of an extra
session of congress will hardly be received with
shouts of joy by a country beginning to feel
just a little bit bored by the performance that
has been slmont continuous for three yesrs.
From the time .of President Wilson's inaugural
to the present, congress hat been in session,
with the exception of shor vacations at elec
tion and holiday time, and the country, more
than the members, needa a rest from its labors.
The laws of real importance enacted have been
for the most part such as only could operate to
disturb business; In fact, they were passed for
that express purpose. In his address at the
opening of the short session last month, the
president stated that his program for reform
was practically complete, the only measure he
considered vital yet unenacted being the ship
purchase bill, which Is now being driven through
under caucus pressure.
In justice to our business world, whose
commerce and Industry has been deranged by
the democratic program, congress should be
permitted to adjourn on March i and give the
people a chance to readjust their affairs as far
as possible to the conditions that hava been
created.
Nepotism Hit It Everywhere.
A bill hat been Introduced In the legislature
down at Lincoln designed to prohibit the em
ployment In a city of metropolitan class of rela
tives of any commissioner or municipal depart
ment head. We ask the sponsor of this meas
ure, Senator Dodge, why he alms only at city
employes? Why does he not Include employes
of the county board, the water board and of the
school board. Why does he not make his bill
general, so as to hit at. nepotism wherever it
seeks a lodgement?
The Bee Is heartily Jn faror of putting aa
end to the nepotism graft anywhere and every
where, and of adopting as drastic measures as
necessary to accomplish the object, but it baa
no favorites to play. To our mind putting
brothers, sisters or cousins on the public pay
roll la, Just as obnoxious and Indefensible for
the county, school or water board payroll as for
the city payroll. Having no one to protect o
to shield, The Bee would not make part of the
city hall a shelter for nepotism whllo driving
the relative brigade out of the rest of the build

Chicago and Detroit are not tha only ciUea
where the Jobl&ss prefer the Jostling poverty of
the city to the quiet prosperity of the country.
But will creation of a Jury commissioner'.
Job ou a fat salary stop business and profes
sional men from asking to be excused from Jury
service.
- There is some satisfaction In the fact that
Mexican presidents do not stick to tha Job long
enough to get their pictures In general circu
lation.
As a stimulus for British recruiting German
airship raids serve to wake up natives beyond
the range of sea craft guns. Cousin Bill Is an
accommodating enemy.
So long as deraocratlo leaders In Nebraska
disagree on the division of federal spoils, repub
lican holdovers cannot escape tha unwelcome
duty of taking the money.
If those air raiders guide themselves by their
own eoarchllfht. It must ba merely another les
son learned from the midnight joytider, who In
cludes a storage battery lamp in his equipment.
What Omaha needs 4s to secure the best re
turns from the money It can afford to expend
in public activities. It can spread out safely to
new fields only as the city feels able to spend
more money.
Note Mexican dollars quoted on the market
at 37 Vi cents. There dollars contain more stl-
er than the American dollar, and are the same
dollars that the free coinage advocates would
have made circulate In this country at par or
tetter.
Ob. yes, It is perfectly ethical to print in
medical Journal, read only by medical practi
tioners, an article criticising hospital manage
ment as it exists In Chicago, but reprinting por
tions of the same article in a dally newspaper
that spreads it before the general public Is at
once a venial offense.
Where the -resident Slipped.
President Wilson's foolish remark 'in h
(Indianapolis speech about the republl an party
not having "had a new Idea for thirty years'
Las naturally drawn fire from (all directions
We did not believe the president in this ever,
took himself seriously, for he knew all the time
that the republicans had been at the helm of
government continuously for thirty years, with
'the exception of the two Cleveland administra
tions, and that therefore every new Idea writ
ten on our statute books was put there by the
republican party. Without going back any
where near thirty years, tha Outlook has com
piled a few of the new Idaas for which republi
cans are entitled to credit, as witness this for
midable list:
Reciprocity, established under the MeKlnley law,
In pursuant of which ten treattea wera cunoludad
with foreign nations.
The antt-truat movement, embodied In the Sherman
law.
Federal Inspection of meat and cattle, and federal
supervision ef food products, embodied, respectively,
In the meat inspection and pure food lawn.
Tha employment of the federal power to destroy
lotteries.
Government of dependencies on a new model, as
exemplified In Porto Rice and the Philippines.
Tha peculiar relation established with Cuba under
tha Piatt amendment.
The enlargement of the field of government In tha
creation of tha Department of -Comrr.;n ?nd Labor.
The extraordinary and aurcaatul experiment
auhloved In the Panama canal sole.
The Idea of a voluntary collect on of customs for a
neighboring country instituted In the Santo Domingo
euatoma collectorehlp.
Conservation and reclamation Instituted and ex
tended.
Postal savings bank. - t
Parcel post.
Tha movement for the conservation of children.
culminating In the establishment of the children's bu.
reau.
Tariff revision under the guidance of a board of
experts.
Federal railway regulation.
Tha direction of army affairs by a general staff.
Currency reform Instituted by the u-eatlon of the
Currency commission.
As the Outlook Buys, "whether these ideas
are good ideas or bad Is not the question; thoy
are Ideas." It might, and should have added.
that not even President Wilson, .with full su,-
port of party majorities In both houses of con
gress, has undertaken to erase these Ideas from
the statute books. It Is a safe guess that if he
were making that Indianapolis speech anew, tho
president would expunge the sentence charging
the republican party with a thirty-year void of
new Ideas.
IP EVER a nwrpaper waa Justified In Issuing a com
memorative anniversary edition, the San Francisco
Chronicle certainly had right-of-way for Its hand
some JuMloa number, marking the signpost, pot only
of fifty years of its Journalistic career, but r fifty
years of continuous active editorship and manage
ment by Its principal founder. M. H. de Toang. I
sent Mr. de Young this message of congratulation,
which la rrlntf-d in the Jubilee number along with
similar greetings from the editors of the leading news
papers of the country:
"To me It Is a rare privilege to be able to extend
greetings and felicitations to the Chronicle and to
Mr. M. H. de Young on their Joint completion of
fifty years In attlve newspaper work. I couple
with my congratulatlona best wishes for long con
tinued usefulness, although U goes wltnout saying
thnt the Chronicle, as a successful and progressive
' newspaper, must outlive Its founder who has given
It a permanence no Individual can poaeees.
"The Chronicle dates back a little over seven
years longer than Tim Bee. The founder of The
Pee, my father, the late Edward Roaewater. who
was Intimately aosoclated with Mr. de Young In
many public movements, was permitted to guide
Its destinies continuously for thirty-five years,
which we felt was making a notable record in
journalism; and yet to hava held the reins for an
even half century, as has Mr. de Young with tha
Chronicle. Is much more exceptional. Everyone
who knows anything about Journalism knows that
such an achievement would be Impossible without
brains, brawn, bravery and business ability."
The etory of "Joumallam In California" written by
John P Young, the managing editor of the Chronicle,
as the necessary setting for the history of that paper
In all Ha endeavors and achievements, reads almost
like a fairy tale, yet Is replete with vivid realism.
Mr. de Toung has often stopped off In Omaha when
passing through our city. He headed the California
State commlsalon for our Trans-Mlaslsslppl exposition
and. as a. friend In need, was a friend Indeed to that
great enterprtae on several oocaalona. It goes with
out saying that he la now prominently Identified vlth
the great Panama exposition that Is about to be opened
in San Francisco.
Judge "Ben" Baker Is again voruntarlly a private
citizen instead of a public servant. I notice his .name
on the door to his new office In the Bee building in
neat lettering with tio ether explanation but this
"Law Business." Judge Buker evidently believes the
earning of a livelihood Is a matter of business, and
takes no stock In fancy sign posts deitlgnrd to make
people think tfce practice of the legal profession Is
either a philanthropy or a missionary Job.
While down at Lincoln I looked Into the offices
of tha law firm headed by former Senator Burkett.
'fcently enlarged by the addition of a room hand
somely furnished with a long table and comfortable
chairs, th door to which is Inscribed, "Director '
Room."
no -vou iij to tell me." I inquired, "that a
law firm has a board of directors?"
I5.u'lly that." was the answer, "but we have
IPled up this room In this way. as you see, so we can
use It ourselves for consultation purposes, but
nrtmurtly for the Kneflt of our clients. You see we
represent a number of small corporations, and some
large ones, too. that do not feel warranted in main
taining a directors' room of their own.' Se we Just
place this at their disposal whenever they want to
have a meeting. I am sure It is appreciaieu. and 1
am also sure It Is not going to drive any law business
awsy from vs."
I mention this for the benefit of my lawyer friends
merely to remind them that progreeslveness is possi
ble in the legal profeislon.

Service from the Missouri.
The Missouri river continues the Joy apl
despair of the utilitarians, who are ever seeking
to make It serviceable to roan. A correspondent
of The Bee suggests, as a counter to the navtga
tlon plan, that the Missouri be harnessed, by
means of dams, and the force of its turbid cur
rent be transmuted into electricity for our vari
ous uses. With its fall of eighteen Inches to the
mile throughout its long and winding way, it
here presents a most attractive field for specula
tlon.
Tbe electric force that might theoretically
be had from tbe waters of the Missouri mounts
high into the millions of kllowata. The prob
lorn of generating thla force Is also in theory,
simple In Its malu phases, but it preseuts some
difficulty In its minor details. Such, for ev
ample, as to what disposition will be made ot
tbe electricity, once it Is generated. Where will
It be used? How can It be transported to the
distances necessary to reach .the people who will
need the current? What will It cost to produce
and deliver this current at the point of con'
sumption? '
Tbe future will determine this and other
dreams whose object Is to utilise the Missouri.
The present bss problems more pressing and
more practical and when thee are solved, there
will be plenty )of time to tackl the Missouri
river with a definite plan for putting it to worn
Conscleatlooa liens.

Jurisdiction Over the Child.
OMAHA. Jan. 30. To th Editor of The
Bee: I beg to most heartily commend
your editorial under the caption "Ptate
and Parent." It seems to me that you
have written a treatise on the subject
in a short space, and I have only to sug
gest that you follow it up with an edi
torial on the meaning of th word "Jurisdiction."
The line of demarcation that sepsrates
an able Jurist from a mediocre one can
almort be determined by his Intelligent
and far-reaching grasp of th meaning
of that word I car not which horn of
th dilemma Is taken, if th parent de-
sires to release jurisdiction of the child
to th stat it Indicates a condition that
should call for every energy of the state
to retard, instead of promoting, by as
suming the charge; and If the parent does
not' so desire, from whence comes the
authority or right of the state to assume
such responsibility In the Xsoe of th
natural right of the parent?
There Is but on answer and that is
that the parent has no natural right over
the child paramount to the judgment
whim or caprice, as th case may be, of
the Instant governing power, and this
answer no one ia willing to accept.
As you suggest, we plunge ahead by
wedges and not In waves, and the front
wedge fhstesd of encouraging Its tardy
companion, seeks to kill it
In other words, we have forged ahead
with the stat Idea until we hav for
gotten that the state cannot live without
the family. CARL E. HERRING.

A Tin from South Omaha.
SOUTH OMAHA, Jan. l.-To tha Ed
itor of The Bee: There was an item in
The Bee lsst night which ought to make
South Omahans "sit up and take notice."
Especially those interested in the an
nexation question, I refer to the state
ment that there were eighty teams and
800 men at work removing th snow from
the streets of Omaha. In South Omaha
not a shovelful of snow has been re
moved by the city. The only place, even
on Twenty-fourth street where a vehicle
can drive, Is on the street car tracks.
Not a crossing has been cleared, and we
must wade tn snew from six to twelve
Inches deep to get from the sidewalk to
a street car. Are there no idle men in
South Omaha, or has the city no fund
with which to hire this don. I have
been a taxpayer In this town for more
than twenty years and hav paid a good
many hundreds of dollars into the city
treasury. Is It unreasonable to wish to
reap some benefit from It? If we were
a part of Omaha, would we come In for
a share of such benefits as this? If so,
we cannot be annexed too soon.

tatlon of Dual Cltlsenshlp.
SH ELTON, Neb., Jan. 19.-TO the Edl
tor of The Bee: I thank you for your
notice of my letter in your editorial to-
day "Altogether Unduly Alarmed" but,
evidently, I lid not make my meaning1
clear to you. The main point in tho
Literary Digest, to which I meant to call
your attention, waa tha question of th
possibility of "dual cltlsenshlp" on the
part of German-Americans. I wished to
ask you to express your views In an edl
tor 11 particularly with reference to that
question because of it intimate bearing
upon th whole matter of th neutrality
ot German-Americans.
I did not intend to emphasize the ques
tion of the loyalty of German-Americans
to the United States,' but th serious
probabilities resulting from dual cltlsen
shlp In th relatione of German-Amer-fc-ans
to tha nations now at war with
Germany, especially England. I did not
wish to imply for one moment that there
waa the least ground tor suspicion that
any friction with Germany was imminent:
not in the least; but I had In mind tha
ttitud of German-Americans towards
th allies with whom Germany Is at war.
What I wished was your opinion as to
whether It is a fact or not a fact ti.at a
German-American can be at on and th
am time a 'cltisen of th United States
and a subject of the German emperor.
The art kl la th Digest seema to sug
gest that h can. I hav not a copy of
th article at band, or I would quote it,
but you probably have seen It.
I am sura that If such dual cltlsen
shlp is possible, you will admit that It,
raises very serious questions, not only in
reference to other nations, but also, sad.
perhaps, mora particularly with reference
to th United States. .The fsct that ths
Literary Digest should take nolle of the
matter would imply that th question la
at least debatable. Thanks for the
courtesy of your attention to my former
letter. JOHN R. BENNETT.

of her shores and hills has given her
landscape a qttsllty which Is thelra alone.
The maglo of her peculiar atmosphere
and th treasures of man's handiwork
which the Italian genius has bestowed
upon her enhance and complete this, but

structure la tho foundation and frame
