CHAKOB IM ADDRBBB-Wmb orteriac iata Bryan thinks there is too much "Johnson" talk abroad in the land. The editor of the Columbus Tele gram has discovered for the 'steenth time that President Roosevelt is not sincere, and this time it is because postmasters are taking part in politics. And why should not a ' postmaster take part in politics? Is his citizen ship revoked because he is a postmas ter? A-nd could President Roosevelt or any other person prevent a post master taking a part in politics, which is not alone his privilege, but his duty? The Telegram editor makes a person weary. Schuyler Free Lance. The Journal is greatly pleased with the delegates elected to represent this Third congressional district at the Chicago convention, and also with the delegates selected by the state conven tion. The whole delegation is bright, strong and clean, and will compare favorably with that of any other state. Our choice for national committeeman from this state is Victor Rosewater, editor of the Bee, as his selection would add to the certainty of Ne braska's vote being cast for W. H. Taft in the electoral college, in spite of Bryaa being the democratic nominee. On Friday morning the sixteen warships under command of Admiral Evans came to anchor at Magdalena bay, on the coast of Lower California. This virtually ended the outward cruise of the fleet, which left Hampton roads, Virginia, on December 16. The fleet reached Magdalena bay three days ahead of the schedule,and accord ing to the report of Admiral Evans, in better condition than when it start ed. The fleet will remain at this place for several weeks engaged in target practice. The accounts of the excellent condition of the ships after a voyage of thirteen thousand miles covering nearly three months time were received with intense satisfaction in naval circles in Washington. Aside from passing appropriation bills and making speeches for cam paign purposes, congress is wrestling with financial bills. Whether the Aldrich bill or the Fowler bill, or a mixture of both, will eventually be come a law, is very uncertain. It looks now as though some bill would pass establishing a government postal savings bank. This looks like a move in the right direction, and would prove very popular with the people. It would encourage economy and thrift and would go a long ways toward pre venting panics. Of course, if the gov ernment would guarantee all bank deposits, there would be no need of a postal savings bank by the govern ment. We would prefer the postal savings bank to the government mak ing itself liable for all deposits. The congressional committee of this Third Congressional district, at its meeting held, in Norfolk during Feb ruary, called the convention for the nomination of delegates to Chicago, naming the place and date and size of the convention, and after a long dis cussion, by a unanimous affirmative vote of every member present, autho rised all county central committees to select the delegates to the congression al convention, if they so desired it. It is largely upon this instruction, and the well known fact that practically every republican in this county is for Taft, that the central committee se lected the delegates, ihe congres sional convention ' at Norfolk went ' back on its own rules and instructions sad seated ihe insurgents. This may not be pleasing to the "regulars," but we believe it is good politics, for while we cannot say as to what the "insur gents" would have done in case of de feat, we know that the "regulars" are out smiling, anxious to put their shoulders to the wheel to help elect the entire republican ticket this fall. Fonr years ago Platte county went for Roosevelt and elected the major part of the republican legislative ticket, and we must do as well this jear and carry it for Taft.

On the first Tuesday in April the city of Columbus will hold - its bien nial election for mayor and six mem bers of the city council and other officials. We believe it is in the in terest of good government to have our citizens meet, regardless of party, and put up a good, clean ticket. The compensation for the disagreeable work and duties of these offices is too small to compel a good man to make a campaign for h,is election. We re cognize the fact that the republicans are in the minority and we would con cede the democrats the majority of the officers... Put good,, competent -men in the offices, -no matter whatparty they affiliate' with. And wp would like to see our present mayor continu ed in office, even if he is a democrat. Everybody should work for the grow th and upbuilding of Columbus and put petty politics aside. A writer in the current Atlantic, discussing the growth of German cities, says that since 1870 Berlin has grown relatively and absolutely faster than Chicago, the Greater Berlin having today a population of over 3,000,000. Thirty years ago Leipzig was less than 150,000; today it is more than 500,000. Hamburg then had almost precisely the same population 'as Boston; today, although Boston's growth has been so great, Hamburg, with more than.800, 000 people, is larger than Boston; the growth of its commerce has been vast ly greater, and its docks and port facilities are incomparably finer, mod els commended to Boston for imitation at this very moment by an expert commission. The Hamburg-American line and the North German Lloyd are the largest steamship companies in the world, larger, than any English com panies, the former having more than 150 ocean steamers in its service. The great railway stations are the finest in Europe, incomparably superior to those in the great English cities; the finest of them all as yet, the Union station, now building at Leipzig, will cost $25,000,000. The University of Beling is planning a special depart ment devoted to the wise and beauti ful laying out of cities, with provision for making the lectures available to the directing municipal officials of Germany. ( In industrial and technical education, from top to bottom, Ger many's achievements are far ahead of England, as it is in so much ahead of us. It is by science that-it has pushed its way to industrial supremacy in so many fields, that it has captured the chemical industries of Europe and in so large degree the electrical industries, and that it is distancing or crowding England and ourselves in the markets of the world. DEPORTING CRIMINAL IMMI GRANTS. Robert Watchorn, commissioner of immigration at New York, has made suggestion of amendment to the im migration laws that is receiving very favorable consideration by the com mittees of congress that are. investi gating immigration conditions and preparing new legislation to be offered at the present session. Mr. Watch orn's recommendation is that the law be amended so that any immigrant who commits a crime within three years after landing in this country may be deported. Under the existing law immigrants may be deported if within three years after they have been ad mitted it is learned that they had been criminals before coming here. Records show that but few aliens have been deported on account of crimes committed by them in their native lands before coming to this country. Evidence of such criminality comes to light now and then, but the accused men usually plead their offense was political and the American auth orities are slow to exhibit any partic ular activity in prosecution of such cases. The amendment proposed by Mr. Watchorn appears to the point. The behavior of aliens after arriving in this country is a matter that con cerns the police authorities and the adoption and enforcement of 'such an amendment to the immigration laws would at least serve to place immi grants upon their good behavior for three years after their arrival. Even a foreigner with the anarchistic taint and the hate of authority in his heart is quite apt to take a different view of things after he has complied with the law for three years and has had time to get an idea of American institu tions. Omaha Bee. ENGAGEMENT CONTRACTS, Stimulated, perhaps, by the "affin ity" talk in which society indulged a short time ago, sober-minded people are beginning to take thought of the question of marriage as a serious pro position and are trying to see their way to a solution of the problem of misstating. It is a difficult under taking. The question is so distinctly a personal one that no broad roles can be laid down. The following dispatch from Omaha' explains 'die terms of anew rule of. the Catholic church, just promulgated, which is to go into effect after Easter, not merely in the diocese of northern Nebraska, but throughout the world: biahop Btcaard 8caaaellof the Catholic dlo caaa of aorthera Nebraska made a formal raliBR for hi diocese that all marriage eagaceaMBta lit be made ia writing, witaeaaed by two per oas, before prfoato will be permitted to perform a marriage ceremoay. lie declare that eagage meaU have coma to be looked apon ao lightly that this raliag ia aeceaaary. This is a return, in a manner, to the old process of calling the banns. There are many people today who de plore the passing of thev ancient cus tom of the public crying of the names of those who intend to join in matri mony. There was undoubtedly a certain formalism about the proclama tion of banns that invested the engage ment with solemnity. "Courting" was no lightsome process, no merely frivo lous course of calls. It was a serious business. When a young man "walk ed out" with a girl he was assuming a certain responsibility. When he "set up" with her responsibility deepened. And courting was sufficiently pro tracted to enable both the man and the woman to know something about the other's character. It was not a matter of meeting at a dance, with a few calls, bouquets and boxes of candy, a theater party or so and then an en gagement ring, followed quickly by a marriage ceremony, and possibly in a few months or years by a divorce. There was significance in the injunc tion: "What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." Possibly if witnesses must sign the engagement agreement, to be produced before a priest will perform the mar riage ceremony, there will be fewer hasty couplings and still fewer divor ces. The experiment is worth trying. The real divorce problem goes back to the question of haste in marriage and that in turn goes back to the evil of haste in engagements. Perhaps the Omaha bishop has touched the center of the trouble. Washington Star. MAKING MURDER EASY. Howard Maxim, who has just in vented a noiseless firearm, is panic stricken. He declares that he realizes the awful possibilities of this gun and that his conscience is far from easy. "When you can discharge a bullet," says he. "with practically the same velocity and accuracy as with the old gun, and do it silently, it is evident that you have a very dangerous pos sibility." Mr. Maxim fears that his invention will be taken advantage of first by those who have no right to it, to be used with perfect adaptability in the art of private assassination. He wants congress to control the inven tion and allow its use only by the military and police authorities. Unquestionably, Mr. Maxim's in vention may add a certain refinement to the art of taking life. The burglar and strongarm men have been slow to resort to the use of pistols because of the noise they make. With a gun that will do its work effectively and without noise, the greatest obstacle to successful crime and secret assassina tion will have been removed, and the perils which crime brings upon hon est folks greatly increased. But there is a silver lining to the cloud. If the Maxim invention is as dangerous as he would have us believe, it will serve to hasten legislation regu lating the sale and use of firearms. Lawmakers of the government and of the states will have to take cognizance of the new danger and its possibilities for evil and adopt stringent measures against earring concealed weapons. It will be accepted as a great instru ment for good if it results in labeling the man who carries a pistol, in a peaceable community, as a public menace and subject to the attention of the police. Omaha Bee. How Sawfish Uses Its Saw. More energetic than any other sharks are the sawfish, whose snouts are prolonged into a broad blade of cartilage, which is horizontal when the fish is swimming in a normal posi tion and has both Its edges set with slightly curved teeth about an inch apart. The end of this formidable looking weapon is blunt and compara tively soft, so that it is quite incapa ble of the feats popularly attributed to it of piercing whales' bodies, ships' timbers, etc It attacks other fish by a swift lateral thrust of the saw be neath them. Then it feeds upon the soft entrails.which are apparently the only food it can eat from the peculiar shape of its mouth. It has an enor mous number of small teeth, some times as many as 50 rows in one indi vidual, but they are evidently unfit for the rough duties required of their teeth by the garbage-eating members of the family. Fish Lore. Item for Psychologists. Thomas Flood, of Philadelphia, Pa., who is critically ill with typhoid fever, called loudly for his wife at six o'clock the other morning. "There's a man in a cellar over on Dickinson street with a rope trying to hang him self. 8top him." Mrs. Flood, think ing he was raving with delirium, tried to quiet him. Then he-became wildly delirious, but the woman paid no fur ther attention to him. At ten minutes after six o'clock Mrs. James Sullivan, who lives on Dickinson street, 'started downstairs. As she stepped from the stair she felt a hand brush her face. The light she carried showed her the body of her husband banging from a PROMISES OF ELECTRICAL ERA. Advancement That Will Open Natures Heartvto Man. Fire made man master of the mole cule; electricity makes him master of the atom and opens nature's heart Fire melted sand to glass and pre pared the path for a telescope for Gal ileo, a camera for Daguerre, a micro scope for Pasteur, engines for Watt, Stephenson, Parsons and De Laval; all the streams of lead and iron, cop per and zinc ever smelted from their ores, all the acids, oils and -alcohols. But all these electricity' can do, do it better than flame, and' greater works than these, tasks beyoad the power of fire. The electrical era is only dawn ing. There are motors and dynamos, heaters and lamps, chemical dividers and batteries. The larger the field of electricity the cheaper it will become and the bigger will be the demand. When there are not only telephones in every house, but sewing machine motors, fans, smoothing irons, chafing dishes and the like, electricity will be gin to mean as much for man to-day as, long ago. did the first kindling of fire with slowly won arts of furnace and lamp, oven and smelter, crucible and still. Thus saith a prophet of electricity. TYPE THAT HAS PASSED AWAY. Country Schoolmaster of the Early Days of America. Apropos of the country schoolmas ter of the early days of America, an old manuscript in the New Jersey Historical society contains the follow ing characteristic anecdote: "A traveling person coming into a country neighborhood where was a vacant schoolhouse offered himself as a teacher. The neighbors convened to examine into his abilities. He was asked what branches he could teach. 'Almost any,' was the answer. He could instruct children how to read without first learning to spell,, to write without first making marks, and it was indifferent to him in what rule they first commenced arithmetic 'Are you acquainted with mathemat ics, sir?' was the next question. Sup posing some great literary character was meant, the fellow assumed an air of great Importance and quickly re plied: 'Matthew Mattocks, sir? No, sir. I am not acquainted with Matthew, but I know his brother, Tom, very well!'" Secret of Elaborate Wardrobes. "You've heard of the little boy that had to stay in bed when his brother had to wear their one dress-up suit of clothes." remarked an exclusive dressmaker. "Well, that plan of trad ing clothes isn't confined just to lit tle boys or to people in poor circum stances. I know of three sisters out in the East End who have all kinds of money and whose wardrobes are in terchangeable. "The only objection to their plan is that some of their neighbors have been, observant enough to notice their exchanges. "Aside from these sisters I know a number of prominent Cleveland women who think nothing of borrow ing a gown apiece from three or four of their friends when they are going away on a visit of a week on two." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Where Woman Excels. "Woman's sense of color is better than man's. Where one in 30 women are slightly color-blind, one in five men are so." The speaker, a physician, continued his experiments with the tintometer, or testing machine. "You," he said, "can't tell green from blue, and are therefore defective, sir. But you are aot absolutely color blind. Absolutely color-blind persons are very, very rare. I have met but one. He couldn't tell red from yel low, or yellow from blue. "Why are men's eyes less reliable than woman's as regards color? Some say it is the tobacco smoke that dulls and weakens them. This may very well be, for I have noticed that non smokers have a somewhat sharper vision." Horse with a Speaking Tube. Perhaps the only horse in the world provided with a "speaking" tube di rect from its stall to its owner's liv ing apartments is Birthday, a hunter, owned by Mrs. Walter Wadham-Petre, of London. Hearing it neigh at night, she concluded to have an arrange ment constructed v so that she could speak to it from her rooms. "Now," said she to a visitor recently, lifting up a trapdoor six inches square, which was hidden beneath a Turkish rug, "when I say, 'Hello, boy!' you will hear Birthday respond with a cheer ful whinney." According to a writer in a London paper, no sooner had Mrs. Wadham-Petre spoken than the horse set up a series of whinnies. These Married Men. "That excellent actress, Clara Blood good, sat beside me one night at a din ner," said a Philadelphia playwright, "and with the fish some one began to talk about wifely extravagance. "Mrs. Bloodgood listened to tale aft er tale of the ruinous extravagance of wives and finally she said: " 'Wives' extravagance oh, yes! You men are all alike. You are all like the broker who, at midnight in his club,, hiccoughed, wiped his eyes and said brokenly: " 'This is the sixth bottle of cham pagne I've drunk to-day, all through my wife making me lose my temper. It is terrible what a lot of money that woman cts me.'" MANY MEN WORK THIS SCHEME. And Their Guileless Fellow-Men Mar vel at Their Knewledge. We are astonished at the familiarity of our friends with the different makes of automobiles. As wo walk down the boulevard he notes each machine that whirls by us and without the slight est hesitation gives the name of its make. "Here comes a Steerocar," he says, "the next is a Pothard-Plump, that taa comer ia a wnack; the "one coming now is a Poker rnotlve," and so on. In no single in stance does he fall to name the ma chine. While we know him for a man of keen observation and quickness of intellect, we are astonished at his catholic knowledge of automobiles. We beg him to tell us how he gained so much information. He demurs for a time, but upon becoming insistent he laughs at us and confesses: "Old man, I don't know one from the other. You were so blamed anxious to know what kind they were that I just named them offhand for you as they happened along. And you would have been just as well sat isfied, if you hadn't forced me to give my scheme away." Success Magazine. FORGOT HER HOUSEHOLD CARES. Atchison Woman Succumbed to the Charms of Romance. An Atchison woman had company coming to dinner, and the house to clean, so at nine that morning she be gan the cleaning by putting new paper on the pantry shelves. When the company came at one o'clock there was no sign of the host ess or dinner, so they began to search the house to find her. At last their search was rewarded. She was sitting on a pantry shelf, reading a continued story in a newspaper, and when the guests looked offended be cause of the lack of preparations made for the meal, she showed them the following paragraph, which began the story, and which had tempted her to drop her work and read more: "'O, Frances, Frances!' Cynthia's low rich voice shook with emotion. Hirney Gates turned his head in her direction and met her eyes. Curious gold-green eyes they were, shadowed by long, black lashes langourous and enticing. For one moment he gazed as if under a sudden spell. Later the girl dropped her fan and he stooped to pick it up for her. As he handed it back his fingers touched hers and the contact thrilled him strangely." Now do you blame her? Didn't that promise to be more interesting than wiping off sugar bowls, soup ladles and porridge pots? Atchison Globe. Japanese Woman Philanthropist. Miss El Inmra, a young Japanese woman, has come to this country on her own initiative to study methods for teaching the deaf, the dumb and the blind. She has been for several years a teacher in the state school for the deaf and dumb in Tokyo. Her mother was the first Christian in her district and her daughter was brought up in the same faith. She states that the deaf and dumb children in Japan are born chiefly in the homes of the rich families, where cousins intermarry in order to keep the money in the family. Blind chil dren, on the other hand, are found mostly among the very poor. These defective children are looked upon as disgracing their families and are as a rule much neglected in their homes. Miss Imura's object is to start an industrial school for the deaf, dumb and blind In Japan. In the hours not devoted to visiting the Institutions of America she is engaged with an as sistant in preparing conversation books in Japanese, Korean, Chinese and English. Wanted All the Warts. "You would be surprised if you knew how careful outdoor advertisers are to have their signs just so," said the billboard painter. "They have ail sorts of notions as to just how they want their advertisements to look, and the slightest deviation causes trouble. Not long ago a gang of us painted a big billboard in the center of which was a large pickle. We thought we had done rather a neat job of it, but the firm for whom we did it refused to approve, saying there were not the required number of bumps or warts on the pickle. "The upshot was that we had to paint out that pickle and put on a new one, with the spots for the bumps marked so there could be no mistake. I never see a pickle sign now that I do not want to stop and count the bumps oa it." Easy to Swallow Raw Egg. Raw eggs are bloodmakers and may be taken Jn any way one wishes. The simplest method of getting them down is to take a shallow wine glass, pnt in a drop of clear lemon juice and then break the egg In this, taking care not to injure the yolk. Over this put about four drops of lemon, scattered, to make the egg go down easily with one swallow. This is readily accom plished If the head is held back and the contents of the glass tossed into the back of the mouth. Eight eggs a day are none too much when one is trying to recuperate. Pitch-lners and Crawl-Outers. There are two classes of people in the world, the Pitch-iners and the Crawl-outers. We do not commonly use the term, yet everyone will recog nise the faithfulness of the classifica tion. Test it.

There will be a minority who will discern the op portunity and pitch in; the majority most likely will crawl out Zloa's Herald. The Reason Why. It is a strange thing that though the great grandmothers of many of us smoked, and pipes at that, and were never considered unwomanly for doing it, in this day and gener ation there should be so much com motion about the woman who smokes a cigarette. On the other hand, as civi lization has advanced and the physical ills Induced by tobacco have been ex ploited, the attitude of men in the matter is ao doubt that of protec tion. Exchange.

Gerharz - ALL FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR. Proof That the Modern Maiden Is Not Easily "Stumped." It was his first dinner at her house, mother was away, and it was the maid's day out. The girl sat down and considered. She didn't know a blue bean about cooking. But dear. dear. Rome wasn't built in a day and one couldn't acquire the gentle art of cooking in an afternoon. So the old rule of "When in doubt use the telephone." was applied, and little girl smiled to herself and set the table its prettiest. The cakes, salad and Ices for that dinner were perfect and the roast and vegetables were delicious. He looked elated and she maintained a discreet air. Only the baskets and boxes ia the kitchen told the story. Some were from one of the best caterers In town, the others, the ones that the roast and vegetables had come In. were from a delicatessen shop that makes a spe cialty of sending out dinners to order. So, of course, be liked the dinner, and the demure little maid only puckered up her brow and said to herself, "I wonder if I am an old fraud." Where Politeness Ooesnt Pay. "French and German hats," said a natter, "only last half as long as ours. It isn't the poor quality of the hats but the fine quality of the manners that causes this. "Lifting the hat in salutation is the Hardest work that falls on the head piece, and the French and Germans lift it to men and women equally, thus giving it twice as much labor as we do. Naturally, then, it wears out twice as quickly. It goes in the brim in no time over the water." Outside of His Practice. "All that is the matter with yoa. sir," said the eminent physician, after a thorough examination, "is lack of nutrition. You doa't eat enough." "I eat all I can hold, doctor," said the attenuated caller. "Then you need to have your ca pacity enlarged, and that's a case for a surgeon. Five dollars, please. Good morning." In Time Past. Julius Caesar was making a few changes in the calendar. "I could get along with the old one well enough." he said; "but the life insurance companies have begun tc kick for something new in the way of advertising matter." Then, ostensibly to please the women, he decreed that every fourth vear should be a leap year.
