The base ball season of 1902 is up to
Its last Innings.
Governor Savage still persists In hold

From bis discussions of the tariff, it
will not be bard to Infer President
Roosevelt's idea of "the Iowa Idea."
The Union Pacific machine shop lock
out was not a circumstance to the lock'

Aa the Iowa papers are now speculat
ing on the future of Speaker Hender
son, the sensation caused by his with
drawal may be regarded aa closed.
The total of 308 tons of anthracite coal
banled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
company la decidedly discouraging from
the consumers' standpoint at this par
Ucular season.
Make sure that the temporary, review

are substantially constructed. Omaha
wants no wrecks to mar the Joviality of
1U jubilee.
Ex-Governor Boies will hardly use as
the keynote of bis campaign this year
his famous document showing that corn
In Iowa Is produced at a net loss of 07
cents per acre.
The frauds perpetrated at the repub
lican primaries by the wholesale Issue
of affidavits and certificates emphasizes
the need of some radical changes In the
primary election law.
Omaha's theatrical season is again
on. Omaha used to be down on the list
of towns to be avoided by the best theat

anxious to come here as formerly they
were to stay away. ,
After that dressmakers' congress, In

Here's a chance for a guessing contest.
If the Union racttte has already im

When a few United States marines

In most of the Nebraska cities to be
Tielted by President Roosevelt the pub
lic school children will have a part In
the reception accorded the nation's chief

children of Omaha ought to be arranged
In the reception program In this city.
One of the subjects on the program of
the coming Christian church convention
is "Advertising." Why not? The live
merchant who has a good thing adver
tises to bring it to the attention of the
people who may benefit by It. If a
religious organization has a good thing
(or the people, why not let them know
It through up-to-date methods?
The Bee's expression, of apprehension
that the retirement of Speaker Hender
son will lose the speakership to the west
has already drawn out the names of
several wet-tern congressmen as speak
trshlp candidates. That's just where
tie trouble is likely to come in. Too
many western candidates for the place
would give the east iu chance to carry
off tha honor.
A ORE AT LEADER'S WORDS.
Thomas B. I"ed Is out of politics, but
hat distinguished republican Is not out
of sympathy with the foremost principle
of the party of which he was for years
one of the grrat leaders. Among the
champions of the protective policy there
has been none abler or more consistent
than Mr. Reed. During all the long
ruriod In which he was a member of
congress, much of the time exerting an
nfluence probably greater than any
other man in public life, Thomas B.
Reed was the uncompromising advocate
of protection to American Industries and
American labor. Whatever he may
have lacked In practical work he fully
made up In brilliant and logical ad
vocacy of the policy of protection.
The most powerful speech made In the
house of representatives against the
democratic tariff bill of lf4. the dis
astrous consequences of which are still
remembered by most of the American
people, was that of Thomas B. Reed.
It discussed with great luclility and
force the principles of free trade and
protection and demonstrated. .most con
clusively the great benefits and advan
tages to the United States of the protec
tive policy. lie pointed out the unassail
able facts of the official statistics that
protection had built up industries and In
creased the price of American labor. He
showed the splendid results of that pol
icy, then being realized. In our foreign
trade. He pointed out what protection
had done In building up the home mar
ket, to the enormous benefit of American
farmers. He declared that our people
consume nearly three times as much as
the people of the next best nation on
the globe, for the plain reason that as a
whole they have the income which en
ables them to do this.
It Is eight years since Thomas B. Reed
delivered that great speech In the bouse
of representatives and the arguments
that were applicable then are of equal
force now. The distinguished states
man who uttered them Is still an ad
vocate of protection. In the published
Interview with hint a few days ago he
said: "They bad better let the tariff
alone. I believe the sentiment of the
people of this country is radically op
posed to tariff revisiou, and if It Is not.
It certainly will be should the tariff ever
be revised." The meaning of the clotting
observation of Mr. Reed is plain. The
country has had one experience of dem
ocratic tariff revision and should cer
tainly not need another.
The position of Thomas B. Reed on
this most important subject should com-
luuud Uie eeiluUs altciitiuU of all repub
licans. He speaks as an advocate of
protection who has only the Interests
and welfare of American Industries and
American labor at heart He has no
political ambition to promote, but looks
only to the good of his country. The
counsel and admonition of such a states
man Is entitled to the highest considera
tion.
S0LV1HQ THal FRUR PROBLEM.
There Is every Indication that the friar
problem in the Philippines will be solved
without any serious difficulty. Thus far
the disposition manifested at Rome has
been entirely friendly and conciliatory
and It Is the evident desire of the church
authorities to comply as soon as practi
cable with the wishes of the government
of the United States, the soundness of
the reasons for which is practically con
ceded. A few days ago two American
priests of the Auguslinian order received
orders to go to the Philippines as pio
neers In the movement of American
priests to the islands to succeed the
Spaniards. It is expected that these
will In a short time be followed by
other American Augustlnlans, a number
of whom have volunteered to go to the
archipelago.
It Is not to be doubted that the effect
of replacing the Spanish friars by Amer
icans will be exceedingly salutary.
Although there are among the church
authorities some who Insist that the
Spaniards have been misrepresented and
even maligned, yet It Is unquestionable
that there is a very strong and general
feeling of hostility toward them among
the Filipinos, and were the Unlttd States
to permit them to remain there it would
be a source of constant trouble. Most
of the Spanish friars are now being
protected and provided for in Manila,
not daring to go Into the Interior, where
they have property. Their withdrawal
is one of the conditions to the preserva
tion of peace and order and it should be
effected by the church authorities as
soon as practicable.
WHO FREE TRADE WOCLD HIT.
"We can injure some trusts by free
trade," says the San Francisco C'bron
Icle, "help others, and on some it would
have no effect. But it would bit hard
every American worklngman and every
American farmer. This expresses a
view that is rapidly obtaining accept
aiice throughout the country. It was
in effect voiced by President Roosevelt
In his Cincinnati speech when be said:
"The trusts can be damaged by depriv
ing them of the benefits of a protective
tariff only on condition of damaging oil
their smaller competitors and all the
wage workers employed In the Indus
try."
No class of our people is more Inter
ested in this question of the tariff than
the wage-workers. A majority of the
people ot the couutry who are now em
ployed in the various industries are in
those which are independent of the in
dustrla! corporations, or so-called trusts,
The authentic statistics In regard to this
ure conclusive. Not only this, but the
facts show that the wages of labor are
on the whole better In the individual in
dustries than In the combinations, while
tne t nances lor continuous work are
quite as . good. What sound reason
therefore, can be given for a policy that
would have the effect of Imperiling the
existeuce of these individual Industries,
which contribute so largely to our pros
perity and especially to the welfare of
labor? It would seem that no rational
man, and especially no worklngman,
could doubt for a moment the wisdom
of maintaining a policy that conserves
the Interests of our" Industries and the
benefits which are being enjoyed by
American labor.
At this time there Is no country on
earth In which labor as a whole is so
well requited or enjoys so many advan
tages and opportunities as In the United
States. Is it necessary to go Into de
tails to show this? Whoever doubts It
let them look at the statistics of the
savings banks, at , the figures of the
building and loan associations, at the
facts regarding the number of homes
owned by worklDgmen in this country.
AH these facts bear indisputable and
conclusive testimony to the superior
condition of the workingmen of Amer
ica over those of any other country on
earth. Foreign investigators of condi
tions in this country have been unquali
fied in their statements that nowhere
else in the world was labor so free and
so privileged, or so favored with oppor
tunities, as In the United States.
The policy that has produced this for
tunate condition every intelligent wage
worker should understand and ought to
support the party which is in favor of
its maintenance.
ABOLITION OF THE SCBTREASVRT.
From Secretary Shaw's remarks It Is
plainly to be Inferred, although he
makes no direct assertion, that one of
the recommendations in his annual re
port will be the abolition of the sub
treasury system. This recommendation
has been repeatedly made by secre
taries of the treasury, and the change
was never so strongly advocate in the
business world as now. The one strong
point in the sub-treasury system Is Its
safety, but the conviction Is growing
that other methods for the custody of
treasury funds can be devised suffi
ciently safe and at the same time free
from the Inconveniences and the evil
results of the present system.
The treasury is now absorbing cash
to the extent of $4,000,000 to fO,(X0,000
per month In excess of its disburse
ments. Just now the business of the
country can ill afford the loss from
active circulation and use of any con
siderable amount of money. It is all
needed for the crop movement and for
other commercial uses. Yet under ex
isting laws it Is practically impossible
to prevent the piling up of dead money
In the treasury vaults Just when It is
most needed outside of them. It is ab
solutely impossible to prevent such ac
cumulation by any adjustment of rev
enue laws, so that the income will
always balance the outgo, because the
same provisions will at one time pro
duce more und at another less rev
enue, according to the fluctuations
of business. Indeed, the time of great
est need for money In business is
almost certain to be the time when the
greatest amount is taken from business
for payment through the custom bouse
into the treasury.
The only way so far suggested to rem
edy J;he trouble Is to give the secretary
of the treasury a wider discretion for
meeting such emergencies by disposing
of Idle balances than is possible under
the present law.
And now it transpires that the North
western road is pursuing the same policy
with regard to the taxation of the Blair
bridge that has been adopted by the
Union Pacific road with regard to the
Omaha bridge, the only difference being
that, whereas the Union Faclflc bridge
Is assessed for one-sixth of a mile at the
rate of $0,810 per mile, or just $1,560, on
the west half of the Union Pacific
bridge, the west half of the Northwest
ern bridge at Blair has a mileage of a
fraction over one-half a mile, which,
computed at $3,500 per mile, makes it
assessable for $1,890. In view of the
fact that each' of the two bridges at
Omaha and Blair could not be replaced
for $1,000,000, a conservative estimate of
the west half of these bridges would
be $500,000, and the most liberal assess
ment would be $75,000, or from thirty
five to forty times as much as the rail
roads are disposed to pay. And this is
a fair sample of uniformity.
The Bee has made it a practice never
to issue an extra unless the event really
justifies such an extraordinary proceed
ing. It has also made It a practice not
to Issue Sunday extras unless for ex
ceptional events of utmost and Immedi
ate importance. The Bee believes in
considering the wishes of its patrons and
is satisfied that people of Omaha do
not want to be startled, especially on
Sunday nights, with cries of newsboys
raising fears of terrible calamities when
their papers contain nothing more than
ordinary news Items. This is the reason
that whenever occasion really de
mands the Issue of an extra edition The
Bee is sought for by all who want re
liable Information, and purchasers of
other local papers are not convinced un
less the news Is verified by The Bee.
In dealing with the big corporations
we Intend to proceed, not by revolution,
but by evolution. This is the keynote
repeatedly sounded by President Roose
velt in his speeches. It is a terse
declaration that corporations, which are
the creatures of tbe state, must be regu
lated and controlled by the state which
gave them life and to which they look
for protection. To put It more pointedly
still. President Roosevelt Insists that the
policy of the government should be not
to destroy the corporations, but to hold
tbe corporations In ( heck, so that In their
rapacity they shall not destroy the gov
ernment
It Is hard to please- fault-finders
bound to criticise. One set of critics
complain because President Roosevelt
deals only In generalities about the
trusts, while another set Is busy trying
to prove that his proposed remedies go
too much Into detail to be at all prac
ticable.
It la to be noted that Tom Johnson
whom Colonel Bryan eulogizes for "bar
ing bis breast to organised wealth,"
made a good part of his $5,(jO,0u for
tune out of 5-cent street railway fares.
Nor did be agitate strenuously for a cent
fares till after be had taken the pru
dent precaution of disposing of his street
railway holdings. Before he bared his
breast he was pretty busy organizing
wealth for himself.
When the ministers commence to dis
cuss industrial combinations from the
pulpit, with side lights on the great ben
efits of concentration. It Is noticeable
thnt they carefully overlook the great
economies that would flow from a con
solidation of the churches that would
enable one preacher to expound the faith
to congregations now supporting half a
dozen churches and accompanying
preachers.
Philadelphia's allied business organiza
tions are keeping hot on the trail of the
Insurance underwriters in protest
against the unwarranted 25 per cent In
crease In fire rates throughout the coun
try. Why can't the business men's or
ganizations of Omaha help along this
good work? The 25 per cent markup of
the underwriters is just as grievous a
burden In Omaha as it is In Philadel
phia. Tha republican county nominating con
vention was in such a hurry that It
adopted no platform resolutions. That
should not, however, prevent the candi
dates from declaring themselves on mat
ters of local Interest with which they
will be called upon to deal. The voters
will want to know where all the candi
dates stand before the time comes to
cast the ballots.
When the names of the thirty addi
tional policemen are announced by the
Mercer-Broatch police board we may ex
pect an exclamation from the 250 dupes
that have been confidenced into filing
applications for those positions. That
will sound very much like the exclama
tion that usually follows the announce
ment of the telling number In the game
of keno.
The award of contracts for beef, mut
ton and pork products for the slate in
stitutions made by the Iowa State
Board of Control looks much as If the
meat trust were working with regularity
and great equity as among its own mem
bers. The bids seem to have been fixed
so that each should get a fair share on
the basis of an unfair price.

THE COGREIOAL CAMPAIGN.
Wakefield Republican: At election time
draws near Hon. J. J. McCarthy's chances
of being elected congressman from the big
Third grow brighter every day. Mr. Mc
Carthy deserves to be elected and there it
ne question but what ha will be.
Tork Times: Hlnsbaw Is max lng the kind
of fight that wins. He goes and does It
himself and tben he knows It Is done and
done light Wherever he roes he makes
new friends and revives old ones and lie
goes everywhere In the district
McCook Republican: Judge Norris, the
republican candidate for congress, is much
sought for as a speaker at all tbe public
gatherings In this part of the state and bit
fame as aa orator It not confined to this
district, but he haa to decline all outside
invitations lately, at his available time has
been all taken up In hit own district
Pender Republican: One of the strong
points In favor ot J. J. McCarthy in hit race
for congress Is the fact of bis great popu
larity In bis home county, where he It best
known. The fact that he haa alwayt car
ried by good majorities hit borne county,
which for ten years has been strongly
populist, attests the high esteem In which
he Is held by his neighbors. A man could
not possibly be thus repeatedly honored
unless there was extraordinary merit In
him to thut hold tbe confidence ot his
fellow men.
Chadron Journal: When the people call
on Judge M. P. Klnkald for a speech he
glvea them a strong logical address full
of truth and reason. He never haa to
speak by proxy. Klnkald is tbe man whom
tbe people of the Big Sixth want to repre
sent them down at Washington. If you
don't believe It vote for him anyhow, for It
wouldn't be possible for him to do lets
than Kem and Greene and Neville have
done and Barry would do and everything
points to the fact that he would do vastly
more for hit constituency than others have
or could.
Gordon Journal: Judge M. P. Klnkald,
tbe next congressman from this district,
was a Gordon visitor last Tuesday. The
Judge wore an air of confident expectation
and unlets all the signs of the political
zodiac are reversed he will have a walk
away at the polls next November. Sheri
dan county will give a majority vote for
Judge Klnkald. now mark that prediction.
The judge it well known In this county
and hlRhly respected as a man by all par
ties. The people of thla district, regard
less of party ties, know that their Interest
will be safe in tbe hands of Judge Klnkald.
Columbus Edict: John J. McCarthy It
surely the strongest rival John Robinson
has ever raced against for congressional
honors and that fact Is worrying Robinson
to no small extent Platte county la the
one county In tbe eighteen that make up
the congressional district that can be
banked on to return a majority for Robin
son. This majority will largely decide the
election result. Platte will not return as
large a majority for Robinson this year aa
in the campaign of two years ago, which
will materially decrease the small ma
jority Robinson bad over Hayes In the dis
trict Ponca Journal: The Third Nebraska dis
trict showed itself to be In sympathy with
the national administration at the last
presidential election by giving President
McKlnley about a thousand majority, yet
In the halls of congress the district is
practically unrepresented, since the man
who is supposed to represent it devotee
his whole energies tc opposing the national
administration. The Third district it en
titled to representation In congress; It It
entitled to the benefits it will gain by rep
resentation. It can have them by electing
Hon. J. J. McCarthy to congress. It can
do without them by returning the present
congressman.
Alliance Times: Judge Klnkald and hit
opponent, Mr. Barry, have been attending
public meetings together for some time
and It Is touching to see the kindly.
courteous manner in which the Judge treats
hit aged opponent A son could not be
more considerate and tender toward his
father than the Judge It toward th'e poor
old gentleman whom the fusionlstt deluded
Into tbe belief that he could be elected to
congress. The fusionlstt thowed a woeful
lack of taste, not to say of principle, when
in order to give their ticket an air of
semblance of respectability they placed the
burden of a nomination on the shoulders
ot the poor old veteran.
McCook Tribune: The growing popular
ity of Judge Norris, the republican nomi
nee for congressman In the Fifth district
is most btghly gratifying to tbe people of
bla home town and very encouraging to tbe
republicans of the district aa indicating tbe
increasing certainty of his election. The
Judge more than wears well; he grows
In the popular esteem with acquaintance.
Hit apoechet and meetings with people of
the district are naturally resulting in the
enlargement of bit circle of tupportera and
admirers. He compete and strengthens
confidence among tbe people, who have
Just right to expect that he will protect
their Interests to tbe limit of his ability
and opportunity.
Beatrice Express: If It is worth while
for the Fourth district to have a repre
sentative In congress It it worth while hav
Ing one who can do aomethlng for his con
ttltuents. A democratic congressman la a
pure superfluity when the administration Is
republican. A republican congressman, and
especially when be is a man of ability and
address, like Mr. Hinahaw, can do things
for his district Mercer and Burkett have
been the only republican from Nebraska
in congress for some years and they have
done great things for their districts, while
other districts with fusion congreasmen
have been completely out In the cold. Voto
for Hlnshaw for congress, and let us have
a representative who will not be purely a
figurehead.
Albion Times: Borne of the email fry of
the fusion prest are seeking to annoy Judge
Klnkald by asking him what they evidently
consider smart and annoying questions as
to what bills now pending before congress
he will favor If elected. One of these Is
Will you support the Fowler bill? The
Judge will not deign to answer turn a fool
Question because the mereat tyro in civil
government knows that tbe Fowler bill, ana
all other pending bills, will die a natural
death with the ending of the aesslon of
the current congress. Old bills will not
come before the new congress to which
Judge Klnkald will be elected. It will be an
entirely new organization, or legislative
body, and will have original jurisdiction
over all legislation which will come before
It.

Tbe weightiest event pulled off in the
vicinity of the New Tork tblt year waa
the annual meeting ot the American Fat
Men't assoclstlon. It was tbe thirty-sixth
annual meeting of the mighty and thirty
of the rotund cherubs squatted themselves
around tbe loaded tables. Tbe only Inci
dent which marred somewhat tbe joyous
occasion waa the charge that President
Murphy bad within a year faded from 140
pounds to 2M. Three hundred pounds full
weight la the minimum of admission, but
there being no scales bsndy, the president's
denial of the cruel charge was accepted
and he was permitted to remain within
the tacred circle.
The call for dinner was sounded at S
o'clock, and the only reason there wasn't
rush for the table waa that there wasn't
man In the crowd who could do much
more than waddle. The dining hall which
the fat men have used for years was
burned last spring, so they had to eat In
long, narrow room. Everybody man
aged to squeeze Into bis seat - all right
save a Mr. Schaub. He couldn't get seated
because' of the limited room between the
edge of tbe table and the wall behind It.
After everything else bad failed a waiter
brought In a long plank, which waa
forced between Mr. Bcbaab's stomach and
the table. Thla plank was used as a shoe
horn, and tbe tecretary was finally forced
Into the space that had been allotted to
him.
The dinner was sumptuous, and It waa
marvelous to see the fat men get away

In one of the popular musical extrava
ganzas a waiter says to a hotel manager:
What wages do I get?"
'You give me half what you gather,"
sayt the manager.
In exactly thlt way Is much of the serv
ice In hotels snd restaurants paid, reports
the New York Sun. In one well-patronized
uptown restaurant the man who takes your
hat and coat pays the proprietor $3.60 a
day or nlgbt for the privilege. He haa four
assistants and he pays them. He does this
out of the tlpt that he receives.
To all but a few old and favored cus
tomers he glvet cbeckt. Upon thote to
whom he does not give checks he waits
himself.
He addresses them by name and expreaset
the hope that they are well. From tbete
he expecta to get nothing lest tban a
quarter and he It seldom or never disap
pointed. His receipts have amounted to as much
at $23 In a day and night and seldom drop
below $10.
Several noted New Yorkers draw hand
some annual Incomes In the form of feet
for tbelr services at directors of various
corporations. Samuel D. Babcock, who
died recently, waa a few yeart ago director
of more corporation! than any other perton
In the United States and at the time of
hit death was director In twenty-three cor
porations. But hit record hat been sur
passed. Russell Sage and Samuel Sloan,
both of Mr. Babcock's age, are now direc
tors In more corporations tban he. was.
Mr. Sloan's number being thirty-two. Sen
ator Depew now holds the record for di
rectorships, his total being new fewer than
aeventy-slx. W. K. Vanderbllt, Edward
D. Adams and James Stillman come next
with forty-eight, forty-three and forty-one.
Oeorge J. Gould la a director in thlrty-slx
Institutions. F. W. Vanderbllt. in thirty
five; Anthony H. Brady, In thirty-four; D.
O. Mills. In thirty-three, and August Bel
mont, - in thirty-two. There are several
capitalists the number of whose director
ships exceeds twenty-four. Borne of tbe
most prominent financiers are, however,
directors In very few corporations. John
D. Rockefeller, for instance, holds only
three directorships, Jacob H. 8chlff only
fourteen, E. H. Harrlman only eighteen
and Levi P. Morton only eight. J. Pierpont
Morgan Is a director In thirty-one.

New York athletic, the number employed
by tbe Union being 115, and by tbe Metro

THE NEW BAB V.
Kansas Farmer.
Yea. I've got a little brother.
Never asked to have him, nuther,
But he's here.
They lust went away and bought him.
And, last week the doctor brought him.
Weren't that queer?
When I heard the news from Molly,
Why, I thought at fl rat 'twas Jolly,
'Cause you see,
I "posed I could go and get him
And then mamma, course would let him
Play with me.
But when I had once looked at him,
"Why," I says, "Great snakes. Is that hlml
Just that mite!"
They said "Yes," and "Ain't he cunnln'?"
And I thought they must be funnin'
He's a sight!
He's so small. It's Just amazln', -And
you'd think that he waa blaxln'.
Ile a so red.
And his nose is like a berry.
And he's bald aa Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why. he Isn't worth a brick.
All he does la cry and kick.
He can't stop.
Won't sit up, you can't arrange him
I don't see why pa don't change him
At the shop ...
Now we've got to dseea and feed him
And we really didn't need him
More'n a frog;
Why'd they buy a baby brother
When they know I'd good deal rather
Have a dog?
