Up to the Voter..
The so-called primary election, which in tj
eliminate all but fourteen candidate for later
selection of seven (o mans the city govern
ment of Omaha for three yean, takes flare to
morrow. It Is up to the voters, therefor, to see to It
that the fourteen names topping the Hit belong
to men who are entitled to be considered for
the- final choice.
Omaha, noon to be Greater Omaha, Is a cor
poration with nearly 200,000 shareholders, awl
around 1200,000,000 of asset. The corporation
managers will hare to disburse more than a
million and a half dollars a year, not counting
special funds raised by bond Issues. The com
missioners to be chosen, corresponding with the
directors of the corporation, therefore, should at
least be men of responsibility and trustworthi
ness, and a fair promise of creditable service.
It is up to the voters to say what kind of
city government Omaha shall have for the next
.three years.
As to Railroad Kate Experts.
According to the press aocount of the rate
hearing in progress over in Chicago, the statis
tical expert of the Nebraska Railway commission
was, in technical parlance, ''floored," when after
testifying that he had always tried to get at the
facts the question waa popped at him, "As an
expert of the Nebraska commission, haven't you
always opposed Increase in freight rates?" Tuo
unescapable answer was, of course, in the affir
mative, for there would be no occasion for a
publicly employed expert to lend his asslstanco
to the railroads to secure rate increases.
But If the tables were turned, and the high
priced lawyers whose talents are retained by
tbe railroads were asked the same question In
reverse, , they would be still worse stampeded.
. Did anyone ever hear of a railroad repre
sentative coming over to the side of th shippers
or the publlo In any contest over rate reductions?
Did anyone ever hear of a railroad-employed ex
pert ever opposing rat Increases? No, it la
cbvlons that la not what they are hired for, de
spite the constant protestations of th railroads
that they want only to deal fairly with all
patrons. At that, the railroads with their
unlimited resources to hire talent to uphold and
press their demands can be in no danger of
getting the worst of It.
A Triumph for Organization.
A report from Washington that th foot and
mouth plague has again been stamped out sig
nalizes another triumph tor effective organisa
tion. The Bureau of Animal Industry was
charged with a very grave responsibility in this
matter, and six months ago faced a most serious
situation. The forces of the federal government
were supplemented by th slat authorities, and
every effort was intelligently employed to eradi
cate th disease. It was one time when no ques
tlon of state's rights was seriously raised, and
the outcome is that a1 terrible menace has been
removed from th live stock industry. . What
might have happened may be understood by re
calling that on th occasion of th last outbreak
of the dlseaa in Wane more than half the cat
tle of th country were destroyed before the
plague was under control. .
, Intelligent co-operation on part of private
intereeta with th government, aided very ma
terially in making the result certain as well as
expeditious, cattle raisers, stockyards and rail
roads all realized the seriousness of the situa
tion, and each gave full and ready acquiescence
to the enforcement of quarantine and other sani
tary regulations. The loss that fell on the cat
tle industry is negligible when compared to th
amount of property that was placed In jeopardy,
and another vatnabl lesson in the efficacy of
proper organization is gained from the unpleas
ant experience.
Betaking an Art Critic,
Th state senate honors itself and vindicates
the highest ideals of frescoed art by indignantlr
repelling th attack on th artistic decorations
of th chamber. As a body th senate repre
sent the last thought of th commonwealth.
What it lacks in numbers Is more than balanced
by higher Ideals of statecraft. It thinks lofty
thoughts and acts In harmony with human pul
sings for the better life. It Is fitting and neces
sary that its surroundings should possess tba
mute inspiration without whfch statesmanship
too often drifts on the rocks of niedlocraey. For
tunately th lovers of art In former senates safe
guarded the honor of successors by giving the
chamber a, melody of color unmatched by the
sunset tints that give Dundee Its twilight sleep.
In style and tone and subject treatment the sen
ate frescoes are above th rud reflection of
amateur critics. As the state house symbolises
th architectural' and constructive arts of former
times, th senate frescoes likewise embody th
finished, work of a maater! brush. In rebuking
an unmerited aasault th senate upholds its
artistic traditions and 'preserves for posterity an
unfailing fount of Inspiration and holy glee.
Th famous Morgan collection of priceless
!alntlng, antiques and art treasures are defi
nitely booked for sale. Mr., Morgan through
agents combed the world for art treasures, pros
ecuting a sesrch which absorbed ht energies
and much of bis means. Th great vllu of th
collection as a whole renders purchase by a sin
gle individual or Institution practically impossi
ble, and Its scattering la part turns into a
passing fad tbe life pursuit of a piultl-mtUion-
alre.
Chairman Lovett of th Union Pacific la
quoted as enthusiastic, over the project of Cal
lfornla taking over the Western Pacific. Th
slate could not operate it at a profit, he aays ia
effect, and would be obliged to raise rates,
pleasurable anticipation in which competing
road would share. But suppose California ar
ranged to make up a deficit with publlo funds
would that plan provoke enthusiasm among rail
road taxpayers?

SOUTH OMAHA. April l-To th Editor
of Th Bee. The photo play, "Tour Gtri
and Mine," which aroused soro criticism
upon It exhibit In Omaha, is to b shown
la Bouth Oraaha, bene I offer thes
comments for consideration. From an
artist to viewpoint this film should b
analysed with som understanding of
scenario and plot construction. Th
young wife and mother is a com posit
characterisation. No attempt 1 mad to
prove that any on woman ha suffered
all th wrongs thrust upon-this character,
rlh la symbolic of injustice, social and
legal, which woman in ail state have
endured, and which I yet possible la
many states. Incidents ar not over
drawn; they are based on facts lu law and
history, a casual Investigation will verify.
From a legal standpoint the wlfs is th
victim of two grav Injustices, possible
under law governing "Property BlKhts,"
and lack of laws a which grant "Equal
Guardianship" of 'children. Court pro
cedure hss ben and 1 dominated by
"Common law which denies a married
woman any legal listener, any legal
right to hr children, or of property
f"
which she may havw earned before mar
riage, or hav Inherited. With all our
boasted civilisation property rights tak
precedent over human relations, so that
wlille many states amend their property
laws, they lag shamefully In protecting
tit mother' right of custody of her chil
dren. Only eighteen states and the dis
trict of Columbia now giv a married
mother quai guardianship with th
father of their children.
A wrong touched upon In "Tour Girl
and Mine" Is child labor. Her again
