ixsurixo popular c hoick
Talk fttlll continues In torn, quarters
of an attempt to get the republican
state convention to pass the nomina
tion of a candidate for United States
senator, notwithstanding its inclusion
In the call. Popular sentiment, how
ever, is strong and growing stronger
among republicans throughout Ne
braska insisting that the nomination
be made and that the party take the
people into its confidence in advance
of the election by telling who will be
the senator If a republican legislative
majority is returned. Having put the
party on record In favor of the election
of senators by direct popular vote and
having set the precedent for a conven
tion nomination to refuse to nominate,
this would be regarded as a step back
wards. The democrats might ask the people
to follow them blindly, because con
sistency is never expected from Ne
braska democrats, but the consensus
of opinion is that republicans would
be at a distinct disadvantage unless
they came out In the open. The ex
tent to which this feeling goes is
shown by the fact that two counties
which have backed up local candidacies
for .state officers by delegations In
structed for them, but free as to other
places on the ticket, have at the same
time adopted resolutions in their
nomination of United States eeantor, J
thus obligating their representatives to
vote against any motion to omit the
senatorshlp from the list. This pro
cedure should be followed In other

new ha tura lization law.
There Is a very broad line of de-
markatlon between the right of every
man to better his own condition and
that of his family by emigration and
the right of the immigrant to citizen
ship in the country ot his adoption.
The policy of the United States always
as been to keep Its doors open . to
men of all lands who desire to seek
an asylum or a livelihood under the
stars and stripes. All restrictions
embodied in Immigration laws have
simply been designed to safeguard the
American people from the Intrusion ot
criminals, paupers and people af
flicted with contagious disease' or men
tal derangement
To confer upon men of foreign birth
the right to participate In government
Is quite another matter. The elective
franchise Is a high privilege, coupled
with duties and obligations which
every American citizen should be
capable of fulfilling. Our naturaliza
tion laws have been very liberal and
the misuse of the franchise by men
not qualified to exercise It intelligently
and conscientiously has become almost
a menace to the safety of our free
American Institutions.
The new naturalization law recently
enacted by congress was primarily de
signed to check -and prevent fraudu
lent naturalization and Incidentally to
raise the standard of American citizen
ship. The new requirements, though
rigid, are believed to be for the most
part reasonable and necessary and
many of them have been urged by
representative forelsn-born as well as
by native citizens.
Under the new naturalization .law
a bureau of naturalization will be or
ganized in the Department ot Com
merce, charged with keeping a de
tailed record of all foreign immigrants
with a view to Identification that will
afford proof .of residence for the courts
charged with the Issuance of natural!
zatlon papers. In order to acquire
full citizenship aliens will be required
to file in a federal or state court of
record their declaration renouncing
allegiance to the rulers of countries of
their birth or adopted citizenship, and
thereafter to file In not less than two
nor more than seven years a petition
setting forth their eligibility; this pe
tition must be filed ninety days before
hearing and the hearing must be had
in open court on stated days. No cer
tificate of naturalization to be Issued
within thirty days prior to any gen
eral election within the territorial jur
isdlctlon of the court.
In this respect, however, the new
law la practically modeled after the
provision of the constitution of Ne
braska, which prohibits any alien from
becoming a voter unless his declara
tlon papers are taken out thirty days
prior to the day ot election, the only
difference being that the provision of
the Nebraska constitution relates to
aliens who are privileged to exercise
the franchise six months after their
lesidence, while the new law applies
t,o the acquisition of full citizenship
after a residence of not less than five
years, which is the shortest period for
the acquisition of citizenship In most of
the states.
The only drastic requirement of the
new law to which exception has been
taken is that the petition "must be
signed oy the applicant in his own
handwriting and verified." and that
"no alien shall hereafter be natural
lzed or admitted as a citizen of the
United States who cannot speak the
English language." While it Is true
that very few aliens cannot wr(lte their
own name in some language, quite a
number, perhaps, will not be able to
speak the English language at the end
of a residence ot five years. This pro
vision, however, Is not likely to be en
forced by an unreasonable language
test. Many American-born citizens do
not speak English grammatically or
pronounce English correctly, and per
fect pronunciation or correct luterpre-
tation of words Is not likely to be In
sisted upon by the courts.
While the efficacy of the new natu
ralization law is yet to be demon
strated, there is no doubt that it will
materially lessen the evils of fraud
ulent naturalization and tend to make
the franchise more precious and bet
ter appreciated.
GREATER OMAIIA.
The consensus of opinion among all
classes of our citizens who have given
the subject any thought is gradually
crystallizing In favor of the annexa
tion of South Omaha and the consolid
ation of our municipal and county gov
ernments incorporated aa the city and
county of Omaha on the solid basis of
home rule. This radical change of lo
cal government cannot be brought
about In a day or In a year. It will
require both legislative act and one
or more amendments to the state con
stitution. The preliminary step toward the
consolidation of the machinery of
county and city government has been
taken by the abolition of the offices of
city treasurer and tax commissioner.
The next step should be the con
solidation of'the auditing departments
of the city and county and the creation
of the office of county comptroller, ex
ercising the functions now devolving
upon the county comptroller ana
county auditor.
This should be supplemented by leg
islation that will bring about the an
nexation of South Omaha, to take ef
fect in any event not later than the
census of 1910.
Last, but not leasts must come sub
mission and adoption of amendments
to the constitution authorizing the con
solidation of the city of Omaha and
county of Douglas under one govern
ment, coupled with a provision grant
ing to Greater Omaha the right of
home rule. In other words, a consti
tutional amendment granting to cities
of the metropolitan class the right to
make their own charters under certain
restrictions and limitations.
It is a matter of history that two
constitutional amendments contemplat
ing consolidation of city and county
under one government and home rule
for Omaha were introduced in the leg
islature ot 1895. One of these amend
ments authorizing the consolidation of
the city and county government pasoed
the legislature and was submitted for
ratification at the election of 1896, but
failed to receive the necessary majority
by reason of the popular excitement In
cidental to Bryan's first campaign.
which overshadowed all other issues.
The second amendment was defeated
In the legislature through the instru
mentality of local public utility cor
porations, whose managers seemed to
dread home rule.
It goes without saying that It Is
easier to manipulate a legislature than
it would be to manipulate and control
a community of more than 20,000
voters. While it may be premature to
open a home rule campaign, It is never
theless timely to discuss a subject of
such vital moment to every man.

and especially to the taxpaying citizens
whose burdens would be materially

TBS FIGHT AGAIXST TUBERCULOSIS.
The annual report of the Henry
Phipps Institute for the Study, Treatr
ment and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
an elaborate document of 480 pages,
beyond its value to physicians and
specialists. Is Important to the general
public for the practical and easily com
prehensible lessons which it enforces
The fact which the report emphasizes,
though by no means novel, is that tu
berculosls is produced by artificial con
dltions of life indoors. "Of all dis
eases," it is declared, "tuberculosis
more than any other, is a house dis
ease. It is implanted in tne nouse, de
velops in the house and it matures in
the house." Indeed, the report goes
so far as to maintain that the disease
cannot exist under proper conditions
of air, light and cleanliness In houses
One of the general and most
disastrous popular misapprehensions
relates to the-symptoms which really
mark an advanced stage ot the disease.
The overwhelming majority of cases,
it Is found, pass unnoticed until the
cough or some ot the mote pronounced
signs of grave progress appear. "It
Is surprising." the report says, "how
advanced a tuberculous patient may
bo and yet retain the appearance of
physical well-being." The result is
not only that the patient fails to resort
in time to the only means of recovery
but also that the disease is spread by
him through contact with his family
and with others indiscriminately In
the schools and places of public as
sembly.
The vital point necessarily is detec
tion of the disease in the early phases
because upon that depends the. success
ful preventive measures by isolation
and of cure by treatment, the para
mount feature of which is simply fresh
air. Conversely it appears that little
or no dependence cin be placed upon
the traditional treatment with drugs
of which many that formerly were
most used are declared to be positively
harmful to the tuberculous patient and
can by no possibility help him. In
this class Is alcohol, once the main re
liance, except for rare and temporary
purposes.
Coincident with the Henry Phipps
report Is the publication ot statistic
covering ten states and 334 cities, era
bracing a population of 34.000,000, in
which records have been kept for a
considerable period, showing encourag
Ing progress in the fight against "th
great white plague." In brief, they
show that the mortality rate from tu
berculoBls has fallen from 245 4 In
1890 to 172.6 In 1905, per 100,000 of
population. This result has bren
mainly achieved by the agtlallo-n tor

thorough sanitation and to some ex
tent segTPeatlon of ctinsumptrves. The
establishment of snch an institution as
the Henry Phippa Institute is only one
among the many notable special meth
ods that have been adopted, principally
within the last decade, for combating
the most fatal plague of mankind.
And, while Important progress has
been made within that time, vastly
greater progress is certain in the im
mediate future.
PROGRESS OF 8 A XI TA R T REGULATION.
The movement for sanitary and hy
gienic precautions in food supply
could hardly be better marked than
by the passage in the Chicago city
council of a comprehensive ordinance
for regulation of the 6,000 restaurants
in that city, the chief features of
which are license and heavy bond for
compliance with health requirements
and a rigid system ot Inspection to In
sure enforcement. The bad conditions
disclosed by Investigation of the bake
shops and next of the restaurants
opened the eyes of the Chicago au
thorities and public to the fact that
only the surface had been scratched
n one place by inquiry in the packing
district, and that an equally unsavory
situation demanded prompt attention.
All this is the direct or indirect con
sequence ot the meat products inspec-
ion agitation which came to a head In
the late session of congress, and which
indeed constitutes by far the greater
part of its beneficial effect. It is ob
vious that supervision of public eating
houses in Chicago will ere long be fol
lowed by like action In many other
large cities, and the general educa
tional effect will be to Improve condi
tions also in private homes and other
places beyond reach of public au
thority.
NO "UNWRITTEN LAW" FOR MURDER.
The prompt protest of the newspa
per press of New York, as well as of
the country generally, against the
adroit suggestions ot acquittal of a
rich murderer under the' "unwritten
law" put forth by his friends and sym
pathizers, Is a welcome sign of pre
vailing common sense. The essential
fact is that no such thing exists as an
'unwritten law" by which murder is
not murder, nor to be punished as
murder. Private vengeance is the
antithesis of law, and it will be a sig
nal triumph of law If the resources of
millionaire wealth and the subtlety of
highly paid lawyers shall be pre
vented by sane public sentiment from
nullifying effective prosecution for the
sensational roof garden murder.
The wholesome demand is becom
ing stronger every day that Thaw be
tried strictly inder the only law there
Is, nariiely, the law of the land written
plainly on the statute 'book and bind
ing on all alike. It Is opea to his
lawyers to set. up the plea of Insanity,
or of "emotional Insanity," or any
other defense which Is tolerated by
our over-Indulgent criminal law.' But
the sane press Is doing a worthy serv
ice when it sternly frowns down every
effort to build up the vicious senti
ment that a notorious murderer can
be permitted to go free under a pre
tended "unwritten law" of private
vengeance if he is onlv rich enough.
Twenty-five years ago the fabrica
tion of double-headers had become a
fine art in Nebraska and a republican
Btate convention that did not boast
from five to twenty-five double-headers
was considered very tame. In those
days It was a game of "catch as catch
can" and the faction that manazed to
capture the temporary organization of
the convention usually remained on
top by seating the double-headers
which their own followers had the In
genuity to inject Into the convention.
It is curious but nevertheless instruc
tive that the old Nebraska idea 'has
been adopted over In Iowa this year
and the double-header contests In the
coming Iowa convention will forcibly
emphasize the fact that there Is noth
ing new under the sun.
The International Federation of
Commercial Travelers, which has Just

Put-In-Bay Island, has adopted a res

This is the first natural sequence of
the impending enforcement of the anti
pass provision of the new interstate
commerce law. Should the railroads
comply with the request, the commer
clal traveler will be placed on an equal
footing with the average passenger,
while the railroads will carry more
passengers and Increase their earnings
The decision of a New York court
that there are two varieties of cou
splracy against the United States, only
one of which is punishable by impris
onment, is another of those Judicial
pronouncements which cause people to
wonder if all men are equal before the
law In some courts.

In 1848 Charlee F. McKay of Georgia,
but temporarily in Philadelphia, deposited
with the Glrard Trust company of
that city the modest sum of $337.78, with
directions to "invest It In the public se
curities of Pennsylvania, ' adding the In

process of compounding shall continue un

from the deposits and th accumulation
thereof shall equal the debt at that time

trust company te "to pay over the said
