The Gorernor'i Fears Are Unfounded.
According te advices from the state house,
Governor " Morehead has been delaying action
toward Greater Omaha consolidation because of
alleged defects in an entirely different law em
bodying our charter amendments, which he bsA
been led to fear might prove troublesome In the
administration of the greater city.
Why the governor should let himself be both
ered by our purely local problems, or assume a
responsibility for them which In no way de
volves upon him, Is not clear to ns, Somebody
has apparently made the governor believe that
the charter change are vital to consolidation,
when, had the charter amendments failed alto
gether, no serious difficulty would have been
presented.
Let us call the attention of the governor to
the fact that Omaha has It wholly within its
power to frisk any necessary charter changes
by simply calling another home rule charter
convention and adopting a new home-made char
ter, which In all probability will be done, any
way. Let the governor carry out his part f
the intent and spirit of the consolidation act and
ft will he up to the people of the Greater Omaha
to do the rest themselvee.

the Death of Lincoln
The New Electrio Light Kate Schedule.
The new electric light rate schedule about
to be established by ordinance, with assured ac
quiescence of .the) lighting company, la A real
concession to consumers, and a vast Improve
ment on the old schedule which It displaces.
That much must be admitted even though we
are not in sympathy with the company's atti
tude on other matters. The reduction In th
charge per kilowatt from 11 cents to 8 rents Is
more than a 20 per cent reduction, this highest
rate being the one that concerns the small user,
and a 20 per cent redaction should be appre
ciable. '
What is to be heralded aa a still greater Vic
tory for the people, however, complying wiyt the
demand voiced by The Bee, la the abandonment
of the delusive lamp-capacity estimate, and th.
establishment of a straight meter-measurement
charge. Under the new light rate schedule elec
tric current will be sold in Omaha at specified
prices per kilowatt hour Just as water Is sold
by the thousand gallons, and gas by the thou
sand cubic feet. Heretofore a meter reading
meant nothing understandable to the user, while
by the new rate schedule the face of the meter
wilt disclose exactly what the charge Is to be
without any Chinese puszle computations.
The main thing Is that the new straight
meter" measurement rate will let us know where
we are at, and wilt give us the comparison.- ab
solutely needed for demanding further reduc
tions from time to time as they may be warranted.
Will They Learn the Lesion?
Something of a sermon might be preached
witH the Terr Haute crooked election gang aa
a topic, The leaders In this Iniquity do not
teem to appreciate the enctrnity 6f their offense,
else tbey are cloaking their feelings with an ex
hibition of bravado that very illy becomes them.
Chosen by their fellow citizens as officers to
represent the people In the management ef com
munity affairs, they most shamelessly betrayM
their trusts, and when overtaken by the law, de
fiantly entered court. When convicted on over
whelming testimony and sentenced tbey listened
with smiling faces, and made merry on their
Jourpey to Prison, deriding and abusing one of
the gang who bad confessed his gutlt.
Will they learn while they are Imprisoned
that they are being punished because of a most
flagrant offense against the liberty of the peo
ple, or will they come out as they go In, regard
ing themselves somewhat In the light of heroes?
The aaddest comment that could be written on
our form of government would be to have these
men come out of prison of the same mind as
when they went In.
It is not for the purpose of taking vengeancu
on them that they were sentenced, but that th.
majesty of the law might not be mocked. Their
crime was the greater because It was not against
person or property, but against the sanctity of
the ballot. If this Is not brought home to them
during the time they are Imprisoned, then the
effort of the law win hare been in tain.
tttm the Csarier-Jearnal.

"Swat the Fljr."
One of the most Important features of the
clean-up campaign should not be overlooked.
Housewives and ethers must keep the fly Id
mind and not permit him to get a start. Pat
campaigns have been done wonders in way of
red ad ng the pest, hut they ef past, and the
campaign of the coming summer is the one to
have attention now - The warfare against th
fly must be Jukt as relentless and Just as vigor
ous as if It had only been commenced. Premises
should be carefully cleansed and every precau
tion taken to prevent the breeding of insect
pests, and especially the house fly, a product of
dirt and a spreader of disease. A little tare
right now will prevent A lot of trouble later Ad,
for a fly killed In the spring removes the danger
of billions later l the season. Bwat the fly,
and escape annoyance and danger.
Another War Cloud Gone Tip in Smoke.
Alarming atories from the Pacific coast con
cerning the Operation of h Japanese fleet la
Turtle Bay, Lower California, have burdened
the wires for severs! days, and visions of th
Invasion of America by the little brown men ef
Nippon have disturbed the dreams of the timor
ous. Now, the danger has proved Imaginary,
the war clouds being dissipated by the report
of naval officers of the Vnlted States, who cer
tify that the Japanese are occupied solely with
efforts to save the cruiser Osama, which went
cn the rocks some time ago. No Japanese naval
base Is being established there, nor has the
mikado a force 6f fighting ships assembled in
that vicinity.
It Is now up to the Pacific toast experts') to
Invent some other excuse for dewandiag that
the United Stated establish war fleet on the
western ocean. This, perhaps, wilt not be dlfft
cult, for wars and rumors of wars are the rdm
tnonest of daily occurrences these days. Uncle
Sara, however, manages very well to maintain
his serenity, but he doesn't relax his watchful
ness. Our fellow rltisens on the Pacific roast
are not so detached from the general country as
they sometimee Imagine, aor Is their welfare at
all Overlooked. ...

Godlike words, the Inspired cue and keynote of his
mind and heart.
Two short month before those awful scenes In
Ford s theater, he had Said at Fortress Monroe to his
old friend, Btepheno th now vice president of the
confederacy, mit still to Lincoln the loved whig col
league of other days Stephens, let me write 'union'
at the top of thla page, and you rosy write below It

poverished widows and orphans, snd babes in their
cradles when war was declared and waged he of
fered payment for the Slave, along with the complete
rehabilitation of the seceded states in the union, for
the Immediate cessation of hostilities.
Nothing seems harder to reconcile both with reason
and existing conditions, witn the actual and envious
state of the contending parties, than the rejection of
this offer. It seems a part of the fatality that pur
sued thd sotith front first td last. It was the will of
Heaven that the Confederacy should be destroyed, root
and branch) that there should be no possible equivo

been Sufficiently punished, Lincoln a, son of the soil

additional years of travail ensuing as dtfe consequence
of the causeless murder.

OMAHA. Artll JO. -To the Editor of Th
l!ee: Jt seems from your editorial en
titled, -Tho Light Rat Puxxle Card."
that the present system of elect rV light
Inc rates In Omaha is not understood.
This systetr of rates contrista of aa in
itial rate for the flrtt thirty hours us
of tlM) connected Ioa.t or the equivalent.
I. e., sixty hours use of one-half the con
nected load, etc., in th case of residences
Only SO per cent of the total-connected
load Is used, snd a lower rate for all
the excess current consumed.
It must re remembered that one Who)
ue electricity for light or power does
not buy a commodity such as wster or
gee, hut actually buys energy which
must be generated at the power plant at
the same Instant that H la being used by
the consumer. In spite of Mr. FloweH's
pot analogy of ptitnpmg electricity like
water, one may with safety assert that it
Is not possible to economically store up
electrical energy In a form to he suc
cessfully distributed In large quantities
over a Isrge area.
Suppose the ease of two users of elec
trio lights; on has a large houas con
taining say ton tight totaling S,00e watts,
which would require about six Snd one
half mechanical horsepower to supply.
The other hss a small house containing
say fifteen lights totaling 1M watta and
requiring one mechanical horsepower to
supply. It Is quite possible that both
woifll ctmsume the same Amw nt of eleo
trtcltr In the course of A year. The Sec
ond csn not at nny time reenilre more
than "SO watta, but the first may occa
sionally turn on all his lights and hi
demand on the power plant would be
about six times heavier than the other's
cotiid possibly be.
The lighting company must be In readi
ness to mert this demand at any time.
It must have generators and br.ller large
enough and Its feed wires and dlstrlhut
Inx apparatus must be heavy enoUKh,
Th man with th smaller house may
actually consume more electricity than
the other, b'lt he can be supplied With
only a fraction of the investment re
quired for the other.
This system of rates automatically
places a higher "readiness to serve"
charge on th consumer who Is respon
sible for tho greater overhead expense to
tbo llghtln company, snd it is only by
placing the proper share of the overhead
charges on those who should pay them
that fares for th4 actual energy Con
sumed csn be kept low. '
The public service commission of Wis
consin, New York and other States have
uphold this system of rates. At least
before further condemnation ait effort
should be nad tu comprehend.

And neve, a thought of age Is there.
So it's off with the old.
And U on with the new.
With a thousand years and a day to
spare.
There Is peace of love In the magic hour,
with the hay and the aun and the sing
ing bird.
So U s off with the old.
And It's on with the new.
Where the trumpeting call to life Is
beard.
Oh, It's up snd away where th reoun
tains dwell.
By the broad highroad of the sky and
. air. r
And It'a off with the old.
And It's on with new.
With the heart of a child where there's
life to spare.
