The "short and ugly word'' does not ap
pear la the dispute between Secretary Daniels
and Admiral Flske, but the Inference and the
punch, are there.
The disappearance of Harper's Weekly pe
culiarly befits these troublous times. "A
journal of civilization" la out of place In an
era reddened with the blood of civilization.
80 long as the Methodist jllvlsloos, seventy
years apart, cherish hopes of getting together,
the prospect of a reunion of Nebraska's demo
cratic factions is not as hopeless as It looks at
the present time.
It Is very evident that there sre two sides
to this Recreation board controversy, turning
on which of two pole l long enough to pull
the fifteen salaried playground supcrvisorshlp
jobs with their easy money.
. The effort of Senator Norris to bring the
machinery of the proposed rural credits board
within civil service rules met with prompt re
buff. Democratic professions of fealty to civil
service are for platform purposes only.
Fate's unerring finger points to Chicago's
Solomon as the right man to settle the war
controversy. Having disposed of the Shakes
peare dispute with. rare celerity,, solving the
problems of war sheuld be a trifling pastime.
tmaba's boulevard system looks longingly
toward the Missouri heights where visions of
beauty abide. Until the crests north and south
are annexed for pleasure highways, the system
must be considered unequal to Its opportunities.
But when the school board abolished the
teacher's training course, at the eleventh hour
after the applicants had earned their admis
sion by competitive examination, hardly a
"peep" was raised except for The Bee's vig
orous protest.
Nebraska democratic organs caauot repress
their fear that Justice Charles E. Hughes may
be the republican standard-bearer. It Is this
fear that Insplrei their valiant efforts to head
off the one nomination which they know spells
certain democratic defeat.
Colonel Roosevelt wants It distinctly under
Stood that he Is neither for or against any man
for the presidential nomination to be made at
Chicago. It Is safe to assume, however, that
I e would be for certain men a great deal
stronger that for some others among thoe
mentioned.

Building of Boulevards.
Another boulevard is being agitated, with
much of good reason to support the project. It
is suggested that the route follow the line of
the bluffs along the river. A road meandering
the contour of the hills near the crest would
provide a magnificent panorama of continually
shifting In alwayi pleasing views, and would
give the greatest of delight to all fortunate
enough to follow It. Omaha's present boule
vard system, far from being compjete, is open
to one serious' criticism. In the very nature
of things, because of being restricted by lack of
funds, the builders have been compelled to fol
low the line of the least resistance. As a re
sujt, rndch of the splendid driveway through
and around the city and the parka is hidden in
the ravines. Some stretches of exquisite beauty
are thus obtained, but they should be varied
with the road along the hill tops, winding in and
out, skirting the ravines, and giving tne drive
the spice of pleasure that comes with the
broader vista thus provided, Omaha Is big
enough now to adopt a more ambitious and
comprehensive plan for Its .boulevard system.
Blunders We Keep Repeating:.
A Harvard professor, speaking to an
Omaha audience, dwelt on the fact that hu
manity has not yet reached Its fullest develop
ment, that all our systems of social and Indus
trial arrangement are experimental, subject to
modification or abolition.- A correspondent,
writing to The Bee, pleads for an International
police to aid In the establishment of reason as
a substitute for war. An eminent eastern citi
zen in a public address calls attention to the
fact that no modern war has been caused by an
issue that was Justiciable. All of which evi
dence supports the proposition that blunders as
well as history are repeated.
Man Is still a selfish animal, and nations as
well as individuals become self-centered, and
disinclined to look upon the world through any
but their own eyes. A time may come when
Justice will universally prevail, and all will
submit to rule that means more for too general
good than for private Interest. Whether an
International court, supported in its authority
by an international police, will hasten this end
Is still open to argument. The proposal In it
self premises the continual presence of cause
for dispute and disagreement. National ambi
tions and aspirations are quite as potent and
fuly as selfish as those of the Individual, and
necessarily more difficult to deal with. It Is
not easy to curb the bent of a people, once an
Idea bas taken firm hold on the popular mind,
and no form of government yet devised has
been able to withstand the full force of an
aroused populace. The probabilities are we
will go on repeating the blunders that have
caused wars in the past.
This should sot discourage those brave
spirits who are earnestly striving to establish a
better way. Their efforts are not wholly In
vain, because they are keeping bright the light
of reason in a world that Is darkened by Ignor
' Debate That Should Be Ended.
The wrangle between Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and Bear Admiral Flske has reached a
point where dignity Is fast disappearing, and
official statomfnts from these gentlemen are
taking on the nature of personalities. Fiske
has directly challenged he veracity of Daniels
In a. letter addressed to the senate. This
brings the controversy to a point where an
Inquiry Is In order. One or the other of the
gentlemen Involved has been guilty of misrep
resenting the facts In regard to a vital matter.
It ought to be easy to establish which Is the
guilty one. When responsibility Is fixed, he
should be summarily dismissed as unfit for
the public service. The Importance of the
Issue as well as the credit of the government
requires that this debate should he ended in
action.
President and Congress.
An ardent admirer of President Wilson, re
viewing in the Atlantic Monthly the record of
his administration, lays special stress upon
what he has done to entrench the presidential
initiative in law-making and the presidential
domination of the work of congress. Speaking
of Mr. Wilson, he says thnt "he conceives it to
be the president's duty to take an active part
In shaping the details of legislation, in pro
moting action and enforcing party discipline,"
and ventures this prediction that "it will be
practically Impossible hereafter for anyone who
takes office as president of the t'nlted States
to preteud that he can acquit himself of his
legislative obligations merely by requesting con
gress to take matters Into consideration." This
statement that the president is coming to sup
plant congress. If he has not already done no,
in the making of the laws may perhaps he over
drawn, but. If true, It has transpired without
the people fully realising It. Unquestionably
we now hae a stronger centralised power lu
the national executive than anyone ever before
read Into the Constitution The strans.it pait
of it, ti. Is that the height of this centralisa
tion should tie reached by a tl'mocratlj pre!

The Two t'olnta of View.
OMAHA, May 2.-TO the Kdltor of The
lice: You have printed lcttera on the
subject signed by K. A. lU.-nson anl
Charles K. Foster and by Dr. J. I. Con
nelly, but I fear the public is becoming
confuaed over the so-called controversy
between Park Commissioner Hummel on
the one side and Superintendent Eng
llnh on the other, and ought to have the
points of view of both of them more
clearly.
Commissioner Hummel has been in
charge of the parks for years and made
such a success of his work that ha was
re-elected with the largest vote given any
of the commissioners as a sign of popular
approval. He believes he represent the
reople of Omaha and particularly the tax
payer, and that all the various activities
of park administration should be devel
oped, rather than Just a few of them,
lie has a limited amount of money at his
disposal and thinks It ought to be used
In a way to benefit all the people, rather
than for on section or one class only. '
Commissioner Hummel believes in
standing by Omaha to the extent of giv
ing Omaha people preference in his depart
ment, other things being equal, anil also
giving preference to people who have to
earn a living, rather than thos) who do
not need It, or who are already on some
payroll, and want merely to earn a little
extra money during vacation. Perhaps
he.olsa put more store by actual experi
ence than be does by book-learning that
would pass a good examination on paper.
riuiKirlntendent Biiglluli, on tho other
hend, cornea here from outside 011 recom
mendation of the National Playground
organization ss a playground expert. He
has his reputation at stake as well s
that of the national association, and
doubtless expects by making good hero
to be called eventually to some other city
which offers a bigger field and a biggor
salnry. He wants to keep In touch with
1he national playground movement and
la pulling all the time for more money to
be epent on recreation, even though It
means less money for park development
end other park activities, lie does not
car whether bu assistants have Inler
et here or not, or, at least, aubordlnatea
that to the possession of so-called train
ing in playground supervision.
The two points of view, so far as they
differ, present the difference between the
home rule Idea and the idea of ruin by
professional experts, Perhaps the two
Ideas are not Irreconcilable, but up to the
present the home-rule idea ha prevailed
not only In Omaha, hut also in most
other cities aa well, and H is a question
whother the time has come to discard It
altogether. , m NET J THAI

SWKDIHH MISSION HOSPITAL,
Water Power Development.
SCOTT'S BLCFF, Neb., May l.-To
the Editor of The Bee; About March
20 some of our engineers expressed
their doubts about the economy and
th practicability of hydro-electric de
velopment. I said then that the be-t
answer was that men with money wero
ready to get at the development. The
effort behind the Myers water power
bill now in congress proves the conten
tlon. The power-grab bill should be de
feated. Otie may not think that thbj
bill will affect Nebraska, but it is no
great distance for transmission lines to
this state from some of the beat power
sites on the Platte and Cheyenne rlveis.
Anyway what Is the una of giving away
great, resources?
The state of Illinois gave to the Illinois
Central railroad a certain franchise right
for a small per cent of Its gross re
ceipts and that per cent hoa for yea's
Iiald' the running expensea of the state.
Any power or law should reserve to the
people the right to acquire the works at
some future period for public ownership
of public utilities Is coming. During the
Iffe of any franchise for power devel
opment thcro should he a moderatu tax
on the horsepower developed and the
public should never yield the right tj
regulate the rates charged consumers.

Happy the man whose single view
No hesiune or doubt complexes,
Who rears his fabric of the true
Without annexes.
Fnr him no half-lights Interfere
To color or distort hi rllon;
For him th prospect Is as clear
As hi decision.
He never dream another side
Might have a. very different viewpoint
But Is convinced bis feet abide
I'pon the true point.
Tn him conviction comes Unsoughb-
No halting-place, no Inconoluslon,
No questionings or subtle thought
To bring confusion.
Neutrality he never claims;'
His sympathies are undivided;
Opinions, purrosea and alms,
Am all decided.
