OmahanlDhere the West is at its Best
|. AUTEN WRITES A “MOUTHFUL.”
One day, after the patriarch had been more
than usually tried by the windy arguments of his
friends, he ejaculated: “Oh . . . that mine
adversary had written a hook;” James Auten, who
i aits as one of the democratic representatives in
the Nebraska legislature, has written a letter which
will do as well as any book. It illustrates the view
of the chief opponents of the gasoline tax. Shows
their inconsistencies, their uncertainties, and their
windings in what amounts simply to factious oppo
sition to a republican proposal for the benefit of
the state. As a matter of fact, the good roads prob
lem has no partisan bearings, and never should have
been tinctured with party politics. It was Governor
-Bryan, however, who brought the whole matter into
the arena from which it is now difficult to remove it.
Writing to the editor of the North Bend Eagle,
Representative Auten expresses his views on the pro
posed tax on gasoline. His first appeal is to class
prejudice:
“To Illustrate. A large property owner pays
quite a heavy road and bridge tax end he con
ceives the idea of a gas tax to make the poor
flivver owner build good roads to enhance the
value of his land holdings but not its productive
■ - - . powers.”
Then he tackles It from another angle, although
•just how this applies to the problem as he sees it
1s not plain:
“We are asked to build many long lines of grav
eled highway and then tax ourselves to put In a
great system of publics parks so the people will
have some place to go. You know P. r. liarnum
said there was one born every minute.”
Finally, Brother Auten admits that the gas tax
will ‘‘all he used on trunk lines of roads that the
farmers haul their crops to market over.” How
that can possibly harm the farmer is beyond under
standing. He gives a remote inkling of what he is
driving at when he says that $1,500,000,000 of prop
erty in Nebraska escapes taxatidn, and that $n00,
000,000 of tax free bonds also exist. Admitting
fhe truth of these figures, which at best are conjec
tural, how can it materially help in solving the road
problem? Unless a direct tax is laid, and on whom
will such a tax fall heaviest? On the farmers, whose
Unorganized condition Mr. Auten bemoans as follows:
5 "The Chambers of Commerce, commercial clubs,
• I,Ions clubs nnd Cubs are organized and they work
as a unit for what they want nnd they usually get
it. Tn fact all classes are organized except the farm
ers and the Inmates of the asylum.”
He concludes his plea with an adjuration to all
that they remember the gasoline tax is one more ruse
of the wealthy to shift the tax from wealth to labor.
That part of it sounds like something coming from a
*oap-box. If labor drives the automobiles that now
go flitting over the highways of Nebraska to the
tune of something like 300,000, not to speak of the
thousands of “visiting” cars that use the roads every
day in the year, then labor ought to pay the tax.
The fallacious quality of the Auten arguments
are made clear from his own expressions. The gaso
line tax rests only on those who use the roads. It
will be expended to build and maintain roads. Only
one way to escape the direct tax is to levy the in
direct. Or else abandon the idea of goods roads.
And to that point the Auten plea tends.
REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.
Those senators who were elected as republicans,
but who gaily wandered away in pursuit of fancies
• outside the pale of party discipline, are about to gain
their reward. In thp reorganization of the senate
the element of party regularity is to control. This
Is made the more certain by the evinced disposition
of the democrats to abstain from participation in
What they regard as a republican family affair.
Two years ago the democrats, acting as partisans,
eided in electing Smith of South Carolina to he chair
man of the Interstate Commerce committee. This
course will not be repeated.
Only two so-called republicans are to he severely
disciplined. T.a Follctte, who boldly undertook to
'encompass the defeat of the party’s candidate for
the presidency, will forfeit his standing completely.
Ilis long career in the senate will conclude with the
position of leader of a small group of adherents,
none of whom professes allegiance to either of the
'old parties, unless the label lightly worn by Brook
hart, Ladd and Frazier may he regarded as con
necting them with the republicans.
' Brookhart, who blatantly assailed the candidates
I’of his party, faces a contest for his scat, which may
terminate In his removal from the senate. He Is not
prominent on any of the committees, however he
imay attract attention from the floor. Ladd will
•doubtless he removed from the ehalrmanshih of the
public lands and surveys committee. Frazier will he
iset aside In like manner. Each of these three recal
citrants voted with the republican majority in the
election of Moses to he president pro tempore.
We do not believe that this will end “insurgency"
within the republican party. It will do much to
establish order. However, so long as men of inde
pendent mind, like Norris and Howell of Nebraska,
'for example, sit In the senste, thst long will there
be from time to time opposition to purely psrtissn
programs. Indeed, It Is well thst this i* so. The
republican party Is not an oligarchy, despotically
'wielding power over Its adherents. Yet it hss an
{undoubted right to cast out of its membership those
Who flagrantly offend. Such ai the men who aought
to defeat the nominees of the party, nominees chosen
by the people themselves.
The rebuke administered in Novemher is to be
mildly echoed in the reorganization of the senate.
The republican party now boars full responsibility,
and it should decently exercise complete authority
within its own councils.
AN AMERICAN PRINCESS.
“My family has been American in «all its
branches; both direct and collateral, for many gener
ations.’’ So wrote Ulysses S. Gi’ant in the opening
sentence of his memoirs. One must study well the
character of that great general and former presi
dent to appreciate the pride he felt in the fact. And
the resentment he must have had at the marriage
of his daughter to an Englishman, from whom she
was afterward divorced.
American history presents few pictures more
noble than that of the old warrior, sitting on the
front porch of his home overlooking the Hudson,
expending his last conscious effort to complete his
life story. It is not alone a monumental work of
history, but it served to clear an honored name
from the cloud into which it was plunged by an un
worthy business partner. And in and out through
the rooms of that home over which hung the pall
of certain doom moved a little girl, named for her
grandmother, Julia Dent Grant. She, also, was to
mark another break in the Grant tradition of exclu
sive Americanism.
With her father she spent many months at the
brilliant Austrian court, going to school with the
daughters and playing with the sons of the proudest
nobility of the world. Here she fell in love with
and later married the son of one of the oldest
houses in Europe, Michael Cantacuzene. Back of
his name stretched a thousand years of honorable
service. Ten centuries ago the Cantacuzene family
was an eminent one in the annals of the Byzantine
empire. So the scion of the house might well be
looked for close to the throne of imperial Russia.
Michael Cantacuzene was not a play noble. He
managed a great estate in the Ukraine, took part
in the business of the empire, and when the war
came on went to the front wtih his regiment. His
valor was attested by wounds that incapacitated him
for service, but he was doing what he could to carry
on when the revolution swept him and all his like
out of the picture in Russia.
His wife, who is as well Princess Esterhazy as
Countess Cantacuzene, has given Americans a lively
picture of life at the czar’s court as well as the
early days of the war and the revolution up to the
hour when she was forced to flee with her children
to escape the ravages of the reds. Omnha will hear
her today, and should appreciate the opportunity.
In spite of her expatriation by marriage, even her
stern old grandfather could hardly wish a better
American .than Julia Dent Grant (ant-acuzene.
OUT OF LINE WITH THE AGE.
Something not altogether encouraging may be
noted In the efforts of certain zealous advocates of
particular brands of religion. In one great weekly
review we read the editor’s opinion that a notably
successful football team was helped to its victories
because most of its members attended a religious
ceremony each day. From another source we get
information that a basket ball team that has made
a proud record this season won its honors because
its members knelt in prayer before each game and
during half-time.
No note is made of the fact that perhaps prayers
were offered that the teams vanquished by these
champions might win. A more notable example of
the lengths to which bigotry may go is the sugges
tion that back of the flareup between Gutzon Borg
lum and the monument association is the fact that
Ihe sculptor declined to draw a line .between relig
ious beliefs as closely as the committee desired.
He has resolutely refused to be guided by a senti
ment that is unworthy of Americans, no matter i
where they may he located.
Long ago Tom Moore, one of the sweetest of Irish
singers, wrote of the sentiment:
"No! Perish »he heart and the cause that
would try
T.ove. valor or friendship hv ft standard
like this." ,
Til all the history of the United States no religious
test has ever been set up as a standard to measure
men by. Under God our people have exercised to
the fullest that dearest of all rights, to worship
according to their conscience. Those who would
measure or judge otherwise are out of line with the
true spirit of the age.
Eighty-seven more names have been added to
the citizenship roll in Omaha, and that many more
foreign-born are ready to take their full share in
carrying the republic to its destiny. Such news is
welcome.
After listening to Vice President Dawes for a
few minutes the senators proceeded to stage an
inaugural bawl of their own.

On every hand The Bee 1s being
praised for IIs strong, constructive
stand In tills matter. The people are
looking to you to sift this matter
down and ascertain the facts, and if
Omaha is harboring a "wrecking
crew” who hope to gain for them
selves at the expense of the great
majority, public opinion should de
scend upon them With such force
that Omaha will be anything but a
pleasant place for them to live.
No business ever built Itself up by
tearing down another Just as no man
becomes great by belittling a brother.
If there la such a vicious ring In
Omaha the people want to know It,
anil the vigorous way In which The
I tee Is going after the truth recom
mends your paper to all honest, fair
minded citizens. The Bee is growing
daily In the confidence of the people
and you may rest assured that If you
befriend the penple and carry on
vour broad, constructive, fearless
policy the people will not fsll you.
There Is so much bitterness In the
beans of the people toward Omaha
in the last few months that It Is high
time some attention Is paid to the
canker that Is eating Into the vitals
of I lie city, and not attempts to haul
over a sore place from the outside by
slogans and such nonsense while the
festering Is going on from within. A
charity worker told me that hun
dreds of Mexicans and negroes had
been brought Into Omaha by the ad
vertising propaganda about Omaha
being a good place to live, and were
taken care of by charity during the
winter, as there was no work for
them. Many of them begged to be
sent back south where they could si
least 1 eep warm. We can't afford
any more parades like the one staged
the other day, for the next parade
will lie a parade of the unemployed,
which will run Into thousands. This
certainly wouldn't he In keeping with
our slogan, "Omaha week." sermon'
in the pulpit and all such fruitless
dry rot. Eet's get down to brass
lacks, and face ths disagreeable facts
T'ntll we acknowledge the failures
and set about to do something to
remedy the situation, all Is but Idle
talk. Incidentally we might develop
a. sense of humor Tf we rant ap
preciate the tragedy of the recent
failures we might learn to see the

Suppose that fMV000 paid for a

to start a woolan specialty mill here
with the raw material at our door
and a large saving In freight over
that paid hy eastern manufacturers,
how would results compaia for
money spent?
In Dowell, Mass,, some of the In
dividual minor executives have left
the Atnerhan Woolen company em
ploy to manufacture specialty woolen
lines on their own. These small plants
are handling short runs on special
designs of cloth, etc., which are un
profitable under the system in vogue
in the trust mills but which are prof
itable to the specialty mlllB. Those
Interested can easily find out why.
Does It pay to squander $50,000
on a ednventlon lasting a few days,
where the value of permanent re
sults are decidedly questionable—I
might say negligible—or would this
money do Omaha more good as an In
vestment In an Industry that has
every natural advantage here? How
does $50,000 wasted on strangers who
don't gl'e a hoot for Omaha compare
with a factory giving employment to
men and women, who In turn spend
their wages rear In and year out In
Omaha?
