The fact that President Koosevelfa
advice to the KtiHslsn government
through Its Htnlinspudor at Washington
has been well received by the press and
pubile generally of St. Petersburg, and
Is also favorably regarded at some other
of the European capitals, is encouraging
to the friends of peace, to whom it gives
reason to at least hope that the frank
views expressed by the chief executive
of the United States, In the most friendly
spirit toward both the belligerent powers,
will exert an Influence which will count
strongly in behalf of a termination of
hoHtJrrrfTt-in the far east. It must te
apparent to the caar and his counsellors
that President Roosevelt's position was
dictated by the highest motives and Is
absolutely disinterested, since our gov
ernment could afford to be quite indif
ferent to the struggle, so far as any
American interests are concerned. The
United States has nothing to apprehend
from the triumph of Japan.
It Is said to be feared in diplomatic
circles at St. Petersburg that President
Koosevelt's efforts will be fruitless. This
is quite natural in view of the statement
that Emperor Nicholas is still firmly de
termined thnt the war shall go on and
Is inclined to turn a deaf ear to all sug
gestions to ending the conflict. This,
however, may not be altogether ac
curate. It was not to be expected thnt
even after the crushing disaster to his
navy the czar would nt onee throw up
his hands and sue for peace. Though
he mny realize the hopelessness of Rus
sia's cause he would not immediately
confess it to the world. Such a course
might, and very likely would, mean the
overthrow of his dynasty. He undoubt
edly feels that he must maintain, nt
least for n time, a bold front. The re
sources of his empire are not exhausted.
While rendered powerless on the sea,
Russia can still send soldiers into the
Held, though to do so is to give them up
to certain sacrifice. The people must not
bo allowed yet to feel that their coun
try has been hopelessly beaten, though
not a few of them know this and are
quite satisfied, since they expect it to
ultimately result to their benefit in n
complete reform of the government.
Terhnps If Nicholas were sure of the
security of the dynasty he would not
hesitate to seek peace. That assurance
lie cannot have under existing condi
tions, but he clings to the hope that n
success in the field will Improve the
position of the government with the
people and then peace may be sought
with less danger to the autocracy. It is
a hope that seems doomed to disappoint
ment. The armies of Japan in Man
churia are stronger than those of Rus
sia, are at least as well prepared for
another great battle, and are not at all
likely to be defeated. On the contrary,
the reasonable expectation Is that they
will win a decisive victory. Such a re
sult might convince the czar and his ad
visers that the time hod come to ne
gotiate for peace.
Meanwhile there Is very good reason
to believe that what has been sold by
President Roosevelt will not be wholly
futile or fruitless.
OUR SHARE OF JAPAN'S TRADE-
In l'.HH Japan's Imports amounted to
$lsri,HKi,tRW and the share of the United
States was $2!),hj0, XX, an increase iu
ten years of ?24,(XKi,(XH). During that
period the increase in' Britisli exports
to Japan was only $1G,000,CHK. This
makes an exceedingly good showing for
this country, and it will probably be
very much bettered this year, since none
of the Japanese industries that get their
raw material from the United States
have been affected by the war and the
government has bought here a lurge
amount of supplies for Its armies. The
balance of trade between the two coun
tries, however, is largely in favor of
Japan. The total exports from that
country last year amounted to f 159,000,-
000, of which the United States took a
little more than f."0,000,000, principally
raw silk, silk manufactures and tea.
A continued growth of our trade with
Japan is reasonably to be expected.
After the war the Japanese will un
doubtedly push forward, Industrially
and commercially, with nil possible
vigor and this will, of course, menu au
augmented demand for raw materials,
a considerable part of which will be
obtained here. It is thought that
especial effort will be made in the de
velopment of cotton manufacturing and
from this country Japon must get the
raw cotton. Of course her competition
In the Asiatic markets will be Increased,
but this will not necessarily be to our
disadvantage if she buys most of her
raw cotton here. At any rate It is
obviously to our Interest to cultivate the
Japanese market and not to do any
thing which might impair friendly re
lations with that country.
LABOR OS PANAMA VASAL
It Is announced thot the secretary of
war will soon call for bids for furnish
ing laborers to work on the Panama
canal and that he will go Into the mar
kets of the world In his search for com
petent laborers to do the manual labor
of constructing the great waterway. It
is stated Unit representative of or
ganized labor have protested against this
procedure, but the protests will not be
heeded by the administration. The
statement is made that ubout 15,000 Jap
anese luboiers will be contracted for at
the very start, it being apparent that
they cau be employed at much lower
rates thau laborers from the United
States or from any other couutry.
While a considerable number of white
lalxuers have gone to Panama from this
country it seems to be pretty well set
tled already that they cannot work there
for any great length of time. Of course
a few may Iks able to endure the climate,
but most white laborer soon have to
give up. Such being the case, the gov
eruuieut must depend very largely upon
the class of laborers who are able to
stand hard work In such a climate as
that of the Isthmus, where hitherto
Jamaican and other colored labor only
hag been fouud available. It ia there
fore not easy to understand why or
gsnlred labor in this country should pro
test against the administration's rlan of
getting the needed labor wherever It
can be had. It Is very probable that no
Inlxirera will go from the United States
who are identified with unions, but If
there are any such who desire to work
on the canal undoubtedly they will be
given the opportunity. There will prob
ably 1m no more troublesome problem In
connection with canal construction than
thot of labor, and if the government
were compelled to draw its supply
wholly from the United States the canal
might not be completed In a generation.
It Is not an inviting field for American
labor and very little of it, it is safe to
say, will go there.
SO WILD-CAT BOOM.
When the real estate boomers of the
'80s, who had platted thousands of acres
of cornfields into town lota, were carry
ing on a brass band and mock auction
campaign, The Bee sounded the alarm
and cautioned the boomers against the
Inevitable relapse. Thereupon the real
estate wild-cats launched their anathema
against The Bee and denounced it aa an
enemy to Omaha. When the collapse
came the people most interested In
Omaha realized that the alarm sounded
by The Bee at a sacrifice of real estate
boomer patronage hod been timely and
well founded.
It has taken Omaha nearly twenty
years to recover from the blighting ef
fects of the wild-cat real estate specula
tion, and again The Bee deems it its duty
to raise its voice against wild cat boom
ing. Omaha was never more populous
and never more prosperous than it is to
day, and the prospects of its growth
were never better. Omaha real estate
Is lower than that of any other city of
its population and investors in Omaha
realty can safely count on a material ad
vance within a comparatively short
period, always providing they are not
carried away by brass band and mock
auction campaigners to invest their
money In cornfields with the idea that
they will be in the heart of Greater
- Un upon the mere turn of a wrist.
. Ii.'gln with, Omaha and South
Omaha occupy an area larger than Paris
with a population of over 3,000,000, and
there is abundant room within the area
of the twin cities for 500,000 peo
ple. Suburban acreage property will
undoubtedly advance some, but most of
it will remain acreage property for years
to come in spite of all the wild-cat boom
ing. It is to be hoped the bitter and
costly lesson of the boom days has not
been lost altogether. The new genera
tion may imagine that history does not
repeat itself, but it often does.
By the return of Mayor Moores Acting
Mayor Zimman has been relieved of
duty in his capacity as temporary head
of the municipal government in which
he has been Berving uninterruptedly sev
eral months. We believe we voice the
sentiment of the entire citizenship of
Omaha, with possibly a few exceptions
harboring personal grievances, in saying
thot the service of the acting mayor has
been eminently acceptable and satisfac
tory. While Mr. Zimmon has perhaps
made a few mistakes, he has put in full
time, giving conscientious consideration
to the various problems of city adminis
tration presented to him, endeavoring as
far as possible to carry out the same pol
icy that would have been pursued by
Mayor Moores, whose place he was tak
ing for the time being. A vote of thanks
for Mr. Zimman by the council will have
the cordial approval of the public.
It Is In accord with the eternal fitness
of things for the railroad attorneys to
cite before the federal court editors of
newspapers that have advocated the as
sessment and taxation of railroads on
the basis of their actual value, com
puted by the market value of their
stocks and bond's or by their earnings
capitalized at current rates of interest.
It is not proposed, however, that the at
torneys and tax agents of the railroads
shall be cited into the federal court to
show what pressure they brought upon
the State Board of Equalization to con
tinue the Iniquitous system of underval
uation of railroads that prevailed prior
to 1004.

The new official report on the condi

True, vegetarians may be, often are,
good men; but no one will contend that
they are Jolly. For steady companionship
the redoubtable feeders are to be preferred
men whom neither roast nor pudding
can intimidate. Who would not choose to
hold cheerful converse with the matchless
eupeptic, Sydney Smith, rather than sit
under the glooming of the saturnine Car
lyle, whose digestion was wrecked by sim
ple porridge? Never was there a more
efficient stomach than that of the merry
parson, the habitual diner-out, whose buoy
ant spirits and good humor always charmed.
His brilliant wit prevented hla elevation
to a bishopric, but It made him an ever

spirit the scolding Carlyle, who disliked
eating almost as much as he disliked hla
friends. The difference was chiefly due to
their diverse views of the matter of eating.
Ixrd Holland went so far as to assert that
"some men are better and abler than
others because they eat more."
It Is fortunate for the race that, whether
they admit or not, whether they know It or
not, most persons live mainly to eat, and
show little concern about the nutritive
value of their food. They eat what they
like, aa far aa they can afford It. ..

BIT YET A HERO.
Oatbnrat of a Yoath When Decorated
with a Carnegie Medal.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Among the awards recently made by the
trustees of the rmcri h.m
- in tw iuku won
one of a bronze medal to Louis A. Bauman,
Jr., aged 17, for saving a companion from
drowning while swimming last July. At
that time Bauman was a farm boy In Penn
township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania.
Now he Is a water boy in a coal mine at
ttoai, a tew miles from Pittsburg.
A representative of the r'umso.i.
went to Rodl Monday afternoon to find
Bauman and tell him of the distinction
awarded him. He found a youth, his day s
work done, sitting hv thm moA-tA- u Li.
' -" ..... 11. IT, nun ins
dinner pall, munching an apple. A Pllts-
uurg oispaicn inus relates the ensuing in
tervlew: "Know where a fellow named Louia A.
Bauman lives?" asked the Carnegie rep
resentative. "Yep," mumbled the lad with the apple.
"Where?"
"Here," said he of the core, aln nnln him
grimy bosom.
"Well, do you know that the Carnegie
hero commission has awarded you a medal
for saving life?"
"Wot?" Tne announcement was repeated.
"Medal? Me! Wot the h-l will I do with
that?"
Many peraons of culture will undoubtedly
resent Loula Bauman'a nar.n
speech and lack of appreciation. These are.
ui course, to oe regretted. Yet through
thla rough exterior shines the diamond
park of the real hero spirit Ita uncon
clouanesa of Itself.
Loula Bauman did hla brave deed not be
cause he expected any sort of reward or
recognition, but because the human need
arose and he was there and met It aa any
really human being would if he could. Ha
did not think of himself as doing anything
extraordinary. He merely did with all hla
might the thing that his hand found to do.
He saved a comrade s life. It was all In
the day's work.
Expecting nothing, he waa eurprised when
offered aomethlng-especlally something
whose value was beyond his narrow horl
son and expressed his surprise after the
manner of his environment. Of course ha
will learn In time what his medal stands
for. and that the public applause which
goes with It Is at least pleasant.
It is to be hoped that In learning this he
will not be made n self-conscious poaer, but
will remain tha strong and useful cltlien
that he Is today.
TUB EVTORIL MCCEMIOS.
Fremont Tribune: The Tribune Is pleased
to have the weight of Senator Millard's In
fluence on th slle of a convention nomi
nation of I'nlted States senators. It bids
him welennie to the ranks.
Orand Islnnd Independent: The next re
publican state convention should not only
select the successor to Senator Millard,
but It should pledge him to be with the
president in the railroad regulation mut
ter, if the question has not been settled,
and settled satisfactorily, by that time.
Norfolk Press: Before Senator Millard
can make much headway as a candidate for
re-election he will have to show pretty em
phatically thnt he la with President Roose
velt for government control of railroads
and freight rates, rather than with the rail
roads. Nebraska must be taken out of the
railroad column In the United States sen
ate. Bancroft Blade: If Senator Millard Is with
the people, he will have ample chance to
prove It In the railroad rate bill. So far
the Interstate commerce committee have
been mighty good dodgers and maintain a
peculiar faculty of summoning such wit
nesses as can best be used to tho advan
tage of the railroads. Should the senator
coincide with the views of Senator Elklns,
hla name ought never to be mentioned for
re-election.
North riatte Tribune: Before 8enator
Millard begins his campaign for re-election
It will be necessary for him to state, with
out a halt or stutter, whether he stands
with President Roosevelt In the demand for
reduced railroad rates. If he doesn't ho
might as well consider himself out of the
raoe. Nebraska republicans are as nearly
unanimous in the demand for lower ratea
aa they were unanimous for Roosevelt's
election, and the man elected United States
senator must let the people know where
he stands.
Valentine Republican: Senator Millard Is
a candidate for re-election to the position
of United States senator from Nebraska,
to succeed himself. There seems to be a
disposition on the part of many to wait for
f . rther developments before deciding to
either champion or oppose his candidacy.
Important questions of a serious nature
to the general public are coming forward
to be weighed in the balance and the people
are Inclined to be very cautious in making
a choice and have no desire to act hastily
In the matter. Personally the Republican
at the present time has little If any objec
tion to Senator Millard, but does not now
care to take a decided position, either for
or against his candidacy. One thing the
Republican does wish to make itself clear
on, and that is as follows: It believes the
man who la to be elected United States
senator should be unquestionably one hold
ing tho same views on the railroad rate
question as those of President Roosevelt,
and who without a possible doubt or ques
tion, will earnestly work and vote for that
policy. The Republican believes it will be
useless for any candidate, who aligns him
self with the Elkins crowd or movement,
to expect support for the office of United
States senator at the hands of Nebraska
republicans with a view of securing the
honored position.
St. Paul Republican: Senator Millard Is
quoted as saying that his candidacy for a
second term was prematurely announced.
The statement ia easy to believe. Had his
friends been consulted In advance, the
boom would never have been launched.
Senator Millard la a fine old gentleman,
but his place is not in the "American house
of lords." Having retired from politics
many years ago, his former ambition was
accidentally gratified at the close of the
legislative deadlock of 1901. His record in
Washington, while free from scandal or
corruption. Is not of the kind to attract
the favorable attention of Nebraska voters.
Great activity cannot be expected from a
man of his years. Senator Millard has
taken full advantage of the ease to which
hla age entitles him, and he has found It
difficult to become familiar with public
affairs. While greatly admiring the sena
tor's many excellent qualities, Nebraska
cannot shut its eyes to his lack of official
record. We have been too long unrepre
sented in the upper house of congress, and
no personal feelings must be permitted to
interfere with the selection of a suitable
colleague for the young, aggressive and
capable Burkett. In endorsing the conven
tion plan of selection, Senator Millard
shows commendable respect for public
sentiment, but he cannot possibly win in
such a contest. He will find the tide set
ting strongly against him before his boom
gets far from shore.

Prof. H. C. AtiBling, in a recent address
In London, said that school and college
education were mostly destructive of com
mon sense. The classical school was not a
school of thought, but of prejudice, and
under the present unfortunate system of
education It was chiefly the games which
promoted alertness. Individuality and com
mon sense.
Up to the first story the front Is of mas

There are two floors above this, and they
