' ( ORD MMMit. ' ' '
In assuming undivided responsibllty
for the editorial policy of The Bee. I
reallxe keenly the weight of the bur
den I will be etpected' to carry. I re
allre also that t have a great oppor
tunity .and a great handicap at once
l-efore me.
The handicap lies. It would seem
paradoxically, In the magnificent rec
ord made by The Bee during the
thirty-fire years that It responded to
the every pulse beat Of Its founder,
who supplied to Its life blood so long
as the blood ran In bis own veins a
record I will be expected to maintain
and to protect. I will be compared
and contrasted with my Illustrious
father, whose abilities I cannot possi
bly equal and whose achievements 1
cannot ever hope to match.
The example set for me In his ca
reer, however, shows me my oppor
tunity. His contribution to the growth
and prosperity of Omaha, of Nebraska,
of the whole west, both through .his
newspaper and through his individual
personality, has been immeasurable,
and If I can make The Bee continue to
contribute to a still greater growth and
prosperity for the future In even a
reasonable, degree I shall feel that the
opportunity Is not being lost. If I can
keep the newspaper which he has left
to the people as his heritage firmly In
the path on which he started It, con
stantly alert to champion popular
rights, or redress public grievances, I
know I will be doing wb.ft.t he would
have me, do, no matter how short I
may fall, of accomplishing what he
would have accomplished.
To discharge this duty with fair
success I must have support and as
sistance from all who are Interested
with me in the welfare of our city,
state and nation. I want the help of
the publlc-splflted men of Omaha and
Nebraska, the leaders of business, of
politics, of education, of religion and
ot state. I want the help of. every
reader of The Bee without regard lo
high or humble station, and especially
the kindly counsel pf those 'intimate
friends of my father; .wlthk whom he
counselled. And I here, publicly ask
that they one and all freely advise and
criticise. . I may, and doubtless often
will, make grievous mistakes of judg
ment, but with the help of those whose
help I have a right to expect, J will do
my bea( as under Divine guidance the
way Is shown.

BUiOER CANAL LOCKS.
The decision of the Panama Canal
commission to construct the canal
locks with a width of 100 feet and a
usable length of 1,000 feet, Instead of
90 feet width and 900 feet length,' as
recommended by the board of consult
Ing engineers, Is one of great Import
ance. Under the physical conditions
the increase of dimensions adds enor
mously to the difficulty of construction
as well aa to the cost. No such locks
have ever been constructed, although
the feasibility ot the work Is nowhere
questioned.? 'I '. f 'KW: V: y..'
The original act of congress requires
a canal 'of sufficient capacity and
depth to afford convenient passage1 for
vessels ot the largest tonnage and
deepest draft, and such as may be reas
onably anticipated," and that it should
be "supplied with all necessary locks
and other appliances to meet the ne
ceBsitles of vessels passing through the
same from ocean to ocean." The In
crease In the length and draft, of ocean
steamships is going on so rapidly that
locks according to the original plan
would likely be too Bui.ll.te serve
ships that will be afloat by the time
the canal Is opened to commerce, and
the administration has therefore wisely
decided In providing for the future to
build as big as Its probable necessities.
It Is these locks and the two great
dams that are required, and not mere
excavation, which constitute the real
difficulties of the isthmian' waterway
and require the lion's share of the ex
pense. The change ot plan involres In
creased first expense, but a more than
proportionate increase of value. .
BELPISO OCR MEAT TRADE.
Elaborate Investigation of slaughte
places, meat markets and canning fac
torles throughout Great Britain Is pro
ducing already a notable reaction b
public sentiment touching the genera
subject of meat supply. The exposures
officially Ad Indubitably certified have
been such aa to cause deliberate con
fession In the public press, In the mu-
nlcipal , governing bodies and on the
floor of Parliament itself, that the
worst exceptional - conditions reported
early In the yeaMn the Chicago stock
yard district have long been the rule,
and today still commonly exist. In the
British meat trade. The details which
daily fill the newspapers are Irrealatl
bly driving home In the popalar mind
the conviction that consumers have
been imposed upon,, designedly by the
home trade and to no email extent un
Intentionally by the home press,' when
the American exposures were aensa
tlonally exploited and taken advantage
of to Injure the over-sea meat products
supply.
"Such a state of facta could not tall
to inure to the benefit ot our western
live stock growers and the slaughter
Ing and packing Industries for which
they furnish the raw materials, and
the evidences are multiplying that the
restoration of onr export meat trade is
already In rapid progress. Indeed
popular demand In Great Britain for
our meat products is visibly asserting
itself by way of protection against the
dangerous and repulsive conditions
the local'alaughter places.
Nothing could more signally, vindl
cate President Roosevelt's wisdom
frsnkly and boldly facing the facta of
our own packing house conditions. an

pulsory reform that every ounce o
J meat and Its derivatives entering Into

foreign nations shoald be conclusively

urity and Its wholesoraeness. It now
Inoontestably appears that nothing less
rastlc, extreme as It appeared at the
time, especially to many who were en
gaged In the packing Industry, could
possibly have prevented further dls-
astroua Injury to onr foreign trade or
could have established the sure basis
of repairing the alarming Injury That
ad been done. With the most thor
ough system of official Inspection and
certification in the world, we may now
look forward, In the light ot what Is
transpiring In Great Britain, the larg
est consumer of our meats, even to a
fsr more extensive and assured for
eign market than we had before the
late agitation started.
DISAPPOINTED BT MR. BRYAS.
Mr. Bryan's expressions of gratifica
tion over his reception in the east may
well be credited. He has certainly
been the recipient of an extraordinary
tribute which moved from persona!
good will without partisan limitations,
and any American should be proud of
such honorable distinction.
In Its partisan aspects for no one
would be dull enough to dissociate
them from the home-coming demon
stration rthe affair cannot in candor
be regarded as having turned out so
auspiciously either for Mr. Bryan as a
political leader or. for bis part'. His
paramount pronouncement culminating
in the committal to government own
ership and operation of railroads. Is
already a conclusive disappointment In
powerful and respectable elements In
the democratic party .that have been
looking forward, more or less hope
fully, for a more temperate and prac
tictft attitude on his part as the excuse
for a union of party factions, together
with important forces not heretofore
for a decade acting with the demo
cracy, under his leadership In the na
tional contest two years, hence. The
signs of disapproval In these quarters
have been promptly and unmistakably
displayed. Tbey are the more signifi
cant because accompanied by the ad
mission. that his nomination seems
nevertheless inevitable and that there
fore the fatal effect of his fault of
Judgment will fall upon the. party.
In the west, and especially in Ne
braska, which justly takes pleasure In
honoring a distinguished citizen, Mr
Bryan's welcome will be none the less
cordial. For the moment, at least, po
lltlca'l considerations will properly
give way .to good fellowship and
friendly and neighborhood relations.
Tet when Mr. Bryan, the friend, the
neighbor and the distinguished fellow-
cltisen, shall have been warmly and
sincerely welcomed home, it Is. likely
that his broad relations as a public
character and partisan. leader will ap
pear In substantially the same light aa
in the east.
TROUBLES Of HAILROAD MaSaQERS
The large number. oiLjiuUa. brought
against the Pennsylvania .Railroad
company by Independent coal dealers
who allege they have been damaged
by discriminations on the part of the
company is an Indication that the new
rate law is not the only trouble In
store for the railroad managers. These
suits have nothing to do with, the ne
rate law, but are the outgrowth xf
the Investigations of the Interstate
Commerce commission. Neither i
the Pennsylvania the only road which
the Investigations showed had been
guilty of discriminations from which
favored shippers benefited. The era
of high finance, which manufactured
millionaires while you wait, milked
the railroad for the profit of compa
nies In which in many Instances the
officers of the road were Interested
If In addition to the loss of revenue
from the first transaction the stock
holder is to be mulcted again for the
payment 'of ' damages to the Injured
parties, the annual meetings of these
corporations are likely to witness
many changes in the managing offl
clals of the companies.
- When the Investigations into trust
railroad1 and inaurance methods and
management first started few thought
It would be more than a passing
shower, but It developed into a gen

average, there Is no indication of a

filed are not sufficient to make per
ceptible Inroads upon dividends and
probably never will be. They do
promise, however, to afford the ra.ll
road attorneys an opportunity to earn
their salaries and the courts to work
full time along with the other Indus
tries.

statement may be accepted a deserved

Edward Rosewater, founder and editor
of The Omaha Be who I dead In tho

Hi reputation it that of a fighter. In
nd out of politics, and he fought In the

Impulse, and once confident of th right
fulness of bl position he .seldom con
sidered retreating.
Aa a young man Rusesater was trusted
and respected. During the civil war he
a telegrapher In General Grant's
service, and through hla hands passed
rriany messages of gravest Import. Later
he was transferred lo th War Depart
ment, and, working under Secretary Stan
ton, was the first man to send the eman
cipation proclamation of President IJneoln
over th wire. The qualities that won
for him the confidence of the political
leader f that day were later respon
sible for his rise to prominence In Omaha.
He went to the western city as man
ager for a telegraph company. ' He was
proposed a a , candidal for the legisla
ture and elected. He becam Interested
in the passage of an educational meamn
and. to assist him In his fight he super
vised the printing of a leaflet which he
gave the characteristic title of The Bee.
Th "Bee" carried many a stinger, and
was notoriously a busy . Bee. "All th

the prominent and Influential newspaper
of the west. '
That he ahould fall In hi greatest am
bition, that of representing Nebraska In
the I'nlted States senate, and that hi
defeat can be traced to the enemies he
made In the pursuance of what he con
sidered his duty to tbe community In
which he Jived, Is t6 be regretted. His
life contained many triumphs, however1.
and the greatest of these was a success

Most resding Americans had heard of
Edward Rosewater, either In connection
with his newspaper. The Omaha v Bee, or
in connection with some of his views on
national questions. H ranked among th
first newspaper men of the land. In ad
dltlon, he wa active In republican politics
and had apoken before public bodies In dif
ferent parts of the country. 8o he was
widely known and. If known, not likely
to be forgotten. His personality Impressed
itself on one.
Mr. Rosewater did not come to this coun
try until he waa 13 years old and yet It
would be difficult to conceive of a more
thorough American. He made one of the
typical American successes. Beginning as
a tinsmith's spprentlce, he waa a telegraph
operator during the war of the rebellion
and did not enter the newspaper business
until soma time after settling In Nebraska.
Hs built his paper up from the bottom. It
Is a great newspaper property, and, what
Is more unusual, a good newapaper. Tel
low newa has never found lodgment In The
Omaha Bf.
The paper Is clean and dignified, though
vigoron. Mr. Rosewater wrote for It a
good deal during the mor active years of
his llf. He was an authority, especially
on economic questions.

Edward Rosewater was born In Bohemia,
and he did not come to America, until he

did not speak th language of this coun

of nothing but failure for the native-born,

The sudden death of EHward Rosewater
of The Omaha Bee removes from public life
one of tho most forceful and emphatio per
sonalities In the west. No one can Imagine
Omaha without Mr. Rosewater. It la given
to -few men In this generation to b as
supreme and Important to hla own sphere
as he. His career was on with which w
have grown familiar, th boy who lands
penniless from Europe In the United States
and works bis way up through most for.
mldable obstacles until he becomes sn Im
pressive figure. Mr. Rosewater was In
many respects very like Mr. Pulltser of the
New Tork World and was Indeed a sort
of Pulltser of the yreat. Hla newspaper
has been a clean and important one and
haa stood for high ideals In state, city and
national affair. Mr. Rosewater was him
self the very embodiment of politics, yet he
was known as a patron of th arts and lit
erature. Ills loss to his community, to the
republican party, to which he gave power
ful allegiance only when he thought It
was right, will be a signal one. In him
one of the last edltora who were Identical

tician by nature, but he waa first a
newspaper man. Th Omaha Bee was th
child of his, energy snd determination, th
object of bis life work and chief ambition.
It waa somewhat remarkable, the work
he did, for when he began Journalism he
wa a tyro and learned a h went. He
was crippled also by lack of means, and
for years bad an uphill fight But his

was a tragedy of politics. He had Just

campaign for th realisation of hi life's

Ne other slat delegation at th Bryan
home coming, not even the Phnwmea of
Missouri, commanded the attention, admir
ation and limelight as "Bryan's horn
fotka" from Nebraska. Naturally some
members of the tribe from obscure reserva
tlona, larking In reserve vocal power, are
somewhat envious and disposed to "chew
their badge." "Possibly," says th In
dlanspolla News, "when those Nebraska
horn folks go home and give their fellow
cltisens a full description of Just what
they saw In Wall street, the horror with
which the place haa long been viewed by
all true Nebraskans. will be somewhat les
sened." The point of this Hoosler barb
Is well directed, but patience would be
strained to the limit were the folks at
home obliged to wait until Wednesday for
enlightenment. The New York Bun ha
been shining genially on the bunch since
arrival, and la particularly soclsble In
picturing "our Jim" snd the herd he led
Into th shamble. The Sun's account of
what transpired will prepare the home
folks for the atorlea the prodigals will
reel off on their return. So here goes:
Jim Dahlman, th cowboy mayor of
Omaha, and hi bunun of Nebraskan
threw Out - their chest yesterday
(Friday) In the pride of having
been the first one to grab Neigh
bor Bryan by the hand on Wednes
day, and Just nacher'ly went cavorting
all over town to show how happy they
were. A tour of the Wall street district,
a visit to Governor Folk and Indiscrimin
ate, full rhested visit to the other state
delegations completed a round of whoops
and other things.
About forty of th men from the Platte
atarted off for Wall street with a kt-yl
and Jim Dahlman for leader. These were
the "wild men from the North Platte,"
according to a London man. A more se
date squadron of about twenty from
southern Nebraska, headed by Mfcyor F.
W. Brown of Lincoln and Pres Agent
Johnny Cutrlght and H- C. Richmond,
trotted up to e Jo Polk at the Gotham.
The curb market was the first thing
encountered by the visitors.
"Who sre them yaps? They ought to
be In an Insane asylum," said a longhorn
from the Wyoming frontier.
"They're the noisiest critters I ever ee,"
went on Mayor Jim. "Why, a big bunch
of the boys right after the spring round
up, full of the cussedest red llcker in
Nebraska, couldn't make a quarter o' that
noise. Honest, I think you've got more
real wild west right here In New Tork
than we bare."
The curb market promptly confirmed this
view by cutting out all their work the
moment they spotted Mayor JLm and
surging up in a cheer with a demand for
a speech.
"Sure," said the cowboy mayor.
"Well, now, I want to say first off that
we'v heard tell all about you fellers out
my wsy. Hesrd tell about , the way you
skin the maverick In this here ' Stock
exchange of yourrt and the way you fel
lers do it in a smaller way right here.
What are you ' yelltn' about T Ashamed
to be littler swindlers than the others?
Well, I swan!
"But say, th funniest thing I th way
you fellers Just fight and wrangle, like a
bunch of goats In this here little gutter.
Why don't you Jump over these here little
ropes?' Ones I'll ship you a few hundred
of our sandhills when I get home, so's
you can spread out'n have a little elbow
room.
"Well, I think you fellers are all right;
you're Just gamblers snd we like a little
of that ourselves. Now I'd Ilk to do a
Jtttle gambling royaelf. Just on of you
run Ilk hell past me and I'll bet any on
of you $100 I can rope and drop him every
time."
All the brokers did on this proposition
was to. yell at It, so Jim moved sway,
somewhst sbashed.

Whenever ' a case comes to light of a
promoter cajoling a man of wealth In'o
risking all his means In a craxy specula
tion, people say "hypnotism. Many suc
cessful promoters .not only have wielded
sn influenc that suggest hynottsm, but
have had some of the temperamental en
dowments of hypnotic power, and. havo
even manifested a little skill as amateurs in
putting susceptible subjects into a trance.
Tet their results are secured by strictly
Intellectual and moral means.
AS Dr. Mead says In Trust Finance,
"They must, In order to float their schemes,
appeal to the Imagination and th cupldl'y,
and blindfold, the Judgment of the- people
who buy their shares." The promoter's
atmosphere Is optimism, his field for Isbor
Is the speculstiv Instinct, his weapon Is
the knowledge he seks to obtain of the
vulnersble points In the men whose In
terest he would swaken. Their Imagina
tion, or their cupidity, offers a leverage
sufficient for a resourceful man lo move
mountains of caution, tmldlty and money;
He ran do to the "tight-wad" what no
mendicant college president or wheedling
wife could accomplish.. .
Tour successful promoter Is a blend of
enthusiasm snd craft. It Is a winning com
bination anywhere. Such a man. In poli
tics, love, war or finance, can market his
pur gold above par, and find a ateady de
mand for his gold bricks.

Little Girl's Obstinate Case cf
Eczema Instantaneous . Relief
By Cuticura Little Boy's Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores ; Grateful
Mother Says
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"
" In reply to your.tWter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as ybtt see tit. st year,
after having my 1ft tie girl treated by a
.very prominent physician for an obsti
nate case of ecsems, I resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies,. and was so1 well
pleased with the almoot. instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physician's prescription and relied en
tirely on the Cuticura Bean, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Puis. ' When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem-
. edies her feet and limbsr were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours nis hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sore. W used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cutioura Soap, and
anointed them with, the Cut icura -Ointment,
and then cave him the Cuticura
' Resolvent. In about three weejto his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
C-uticura Remedies. -M'e And that the
Cuticura Rsmrdies are . a ' valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
( it costs from twenty to twenty-Jive dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
