The efficacy of more publicity at a
mean of remedying, popular griev
ance Is once more signally Illustrated
by the Chicago packing house expos
ure. Aside from the assurance of the
early enactment of a satisfactory fed
eral meat Inspection law, and more
stringent enforcement of existing state
and municipal laws, publicity has al
ready brought about many, If not all,
the desired Improvements In Ch con
ditions and methods of meat prepara
tion In the big packing houses. Al
though new national and local legis
lation may not be enacted or go Into
effect for months, the publication of
the reports of official Investigations
haa already accomplished Important
reforms which would remain as sub
stantial gains even If not a line were
added to national or state statute
books as a result of the agitation.
Wisely realizing the necessities of
the occasion, those In control of the
great meat Industries at Chicago have
bestirred themselves without delay to
remove the offensive conditions and
methods agalnat which the president's
pedal Investigators had lodged com
plaint. The moat objectionable . fea
tures have been completely remedied,
the different establishments have been
thoroughly cleaned up and arrange
ments made for more perfect sanita
tion everywhere. The packers not only
at Chicago, but also at other points,
have of their own volition, according
to best reports, gone further in many
directions than they would be required
to go under the strictest laws and reg
ulations that have been proposed. In
all thia they are giving evidence of
determination to meet the most ex
acting demands of meat consumers for
cleanly and healthful handling of the
meat supply.
Although so vast an Improvement
has been brought about. It will of
course be followed up with Inspection
legislation that will make Its regula
tions compulsory upon big and little
meat packers alike and 'assure the
public that there will be no backslid
ing under stress of competition In the
future. But the material ' betterment
secured In advance of legislation must
be put; down as a notable admonition
of the Inherent remedial possibilities
of publicity by Itself.

It is unfortunate that the item in
the aundry civil appropriation bill de
voting $25,000 for the traveling and
like expenses of the president should
haye been open to a point of order,
and that the opposition ' leader In the
house should have felt himself moved
to raise the point. Public opinion is
practically unanimous that some such
provision should be made, this Item In
the pending bill having been received
with emphatic approval by . people of
all political parties. The point of or
der, ot course, does not go to the sub
stance of the matter, nor would the
Item have Invalidated the measure.
Congressman WllUa'ma therefore might
well have omitted the purely tech
nical objection, . . . .v
It is no longer a question as to the
policy of defraying traveling expenses
of the occupant of-the White House,
but a. question of only a little time
when an appropriation to cover them
wl.ll be made. Public sentiment will
not now approve of a situation in
which the progress ot the president
through the country on public business
must be made at his private" expense
or by grace of the transportation com
panies. On the other hand, such
means of contact between him and the
people, with all the educational In
fluence and other mutual benefits in
volved, is more than ever appropriate
and even necessary now that the move
ment for more closely harmonising
government and peopto-ig going for
ward so rapidly. Though not a part of
the written program,' custom" from the
foundation of our government has
been for the. chief executive to show
himself among, the people, and he In
expected to do so aa much as to com
munlcate officla.Iy with congress. Nor
is it a light task since the country
haa grown bo great.
The means for performing so impor
tant a public duty obvioualy should be
supplied at the public charge. It will
devolve upon congress to make the
appropriation at the earliest possible
day in a manner that cannot' be de
feated by mere techlncal objection.

The little family quarrel In the dem
ocratic household In the city hall Is
getting Interesting.- The head of the
family persists In asserting his rights
and declaring his Intention to rule the
ranch If' he has to call Out the whole
cowboy brigade to do It. He says he
la responsible for the way the place Is
run. having been Installed In the
raayor'a office by vote of tbe people,
while the democratic council got In by
mere accident after he had beaten
down tbe door.
To the Impeachment that he baa uu
dertaken to distribute the pie without
first consulting the councllmanic mem
bers of the family, the mayor replies
with the counter charge that the coun
cil was organized by the election of a
president and the appointment of com
mittees without consulting him, not
withstanding the tact that the presi
dent of the council aa acting' mayor In
hla absence might upset the entire pol
icy of his administration and undo all
the good work he may have accom
plished. The mayor reads the platform prom
ises of good government to mean the
appointment of subordinatea with an
Idea to fitness for the office rather
than mere party allegiance, but the
democratic coun'cllmen refuse to admit
that any republican can possibly be
better qualified to do anything than
are the democratic camp followers
who are, making Iff miserable for
them. Campaign platforms, anyway,
were not in their opinion meant to
hold good after election as against
democratic office seekers, and good
city government Is Impossible so long
as the city hall Is besieged by political
retainers dogging their footsteps from
pillar to post.

The Nebraska supreme court has
done the unusual thing in denying the
right of an appeal In the action of the
county board in fixing the tax levy In
volved In a case brought up from Lan

to permit such an appeal would in

ultimate tax-levying power from the
county board In which It Is lodged by
law to the court which would be regu-

Secretary Wilson disagrees with those
who say that the eleventh commandment
Is to mind your own business. The other

The next day he had occasion to reprimand

Rubber heels at the expense of th lend-
lords or fist dwellers Is the latest Innova
tion of renting agents In Washington.
There Is a clause In the more recent leases
of Bpartmente that every memoer oi ...
family must wear rubber heels on snoes
while In the spartment. Tha innovation Is
for the purpose of securing some manner of
quiet In the crowded apartment bouses. In
apartment houses where go-carts are per
mitted it Is specified that the wheels- must
be equipped with rubber tires.
On moving In tenants are sent to a nearby
shoemsker, who has a contract with the
landlord to equip their shoes with th noise
less heels, and. consequently, there Is never
any complstnt of "th raeket overhesd."
Agents say few-tenants make any objection
to th rubber heel clause.

North Piatt Tribune (rep ).
Tha venerable Mr., Crounse of Omaha
has consented to become a candidate for
United Statea senator. Mr. Crounse has
not altogether passed the age of useful
ness, but a younger and more active man
should represent Nebraska In the senate.
As Mr. Crounse's senatorial aspirations
were hatched . by th Fontanelle club of
Omaha his candidacy Is largely a dig at
Edward Rosewater.

Senator Millard now 'suggests th ad
visability of th state convention making
no nomination for senator. This was his
attitude two years ago, but th conven
tion decided to tha contrary by a vote
of 80 per cent of Its delegates. Last winter,
however, th senator, cam out tn a publlo
announcement Id favor of the convention
plan. Why this flip-flop attitude? It Is
doubtless a scheme of th railroads, aa
there are other evidences beside the ex
pression of Senator Millard to Indicate
their vlsh to throw the matter into tha
legislature, where they always have a
better chance to win. But If the repub
lican convention falls to nominate w
might as well glv up any hop of carrying
th next legislature. .The people are not
going to willingly surrender the tight to
have a mors direct vole In choosing th
senatorial candidate.

Convention Nasnlaatlaa Certala.
Kesrney Hub (rep.).
Senator Millard vouchsafes a statement
to a Washington correspondent that . he
prefers that th republican state conven
tion In Nebraska do not endorse a csn
dldat for United Sttes senator, and pro
fesses to believe that if th election wer
left to the legislature without Instruction
from the state convention It would not be
difficult for him to win. He also under
stands thst ther Is a movement in th
stat to hav the convention nomination
given up. With due respect to 8enator
Millard, for whom th Hub holds the high
est esteem, h Is undoubtedly mistaken In
hla conclusions. The convention nomins
tion will not be given up. If It were, and
he Bliould take hla candldscy Up to the
next legislature, he would be disappointed,
for he would then have a harder fight than
he haa now, with Wttle prospect of win
ning. Bun

Utlca Fun: John Wsll of Valley county
was Indorsed the other day for governor
at th county convention held In that
county by a unsnlmous vote. This cmnty
furnished the present stste treasurer and
it looka now like It will furnish the candi
date for governor.
Friend Telegraph: Senator Sheldon of
Nehawka haa announced himself as a
tandldste for th nomination as governor
of this stste. Senator Sheldon also
sqtisres himself on the questions of rail
road passea and th election of a railroad
commission st one and th sam time.
This alone will go a great ways towards
recommending him to th .voters ,f thla
