Nebraska voters should know that
the poorly dlagultuHl efforts of the
lnture minority to ahnpe, certain iarts
of the primary election law have ben
solely with a view to making It possible
for democrat and populists to continue
In their masquerade of fusion in future
campaigns In this state as in the past.
They are insisting that the same candi
dates may be filed for nomination by
democrats and by populists, so that they
may have the advantage of two pnrty
labels when it comes to casting the vole
at the regular election.
This may be accepted as Indicating
a purpose to repeat fusion Indefinitely.
Kvery year since the 1000 presidential
campaign the people have been told
that no more fusion would go, but the
democratic and populist place seekers
have found the excuse to go through the
old performance In the same old way.
What they wnut now Is the chance to
fuse once more on presidential electors
In 1008, and If not 'permitted to do It
by double nomination they 'would ac
complish the same object by pulling off
one set or another of the electoral candl-
dat Nebraska voters have Wonie
so familiar with the fusion game that
we do not believe they will be fooled
whether the cards are played under the
table or in plain sight.
EDUCATIOX AKD COMMERCE.
The Bureau of American Republics
has taken a step which promises much
toward the development of better com
mercial and business relations with the
South and Central American republics.
The United States has been handi
capped seriously in efforts to develop
trade with the neighbors on the south,
due largely to a lack of understanding
of the Lntln-Amerlcan chnrncter, lan
guage and customs. Consular agents,
diplomatic representatives and trade
bodies have made every effort to en
courage closer business relations with
South and Central America but the re
sult have been far from, satisfactory.
The French and Spanish speaking peo
ple of these countries have been warm
in expressions of their appreciation of
American overtures but their trade has
persistently gone to European countries.
Secretary Root and the American of
ficials of the Bureau of American ' Re
publics have appreciated this handicap
and propose now to overcome It by the
inauguration of n campaign of educa
tion. Dr. William R. Sheppard of Columbia
university, who has published many ar
ticles on Spanish and Sp9ulsh-American
subjects, has been engaged by the Bu
reau of American Republics to make a
tour of South American capitals during
the coming summer for the purpose of
getting in touch with leading men in dif
ferent callings and thoroughly acquaint
ing them with the opportunities and re
sources of American colleges and uni
versities. The purpose will be to in
duce South American students to come
to the United States to be educated and
make friends and to study American
conditions.
It Is expected that success In this
line will prove of great benefit to Amer
ican trade by placing in the leading
capitals of South America men who
have been educated in American insti
tutions and have a knowledge of our
ways. Increased Intercourse in social,
intellectual and educational directions
is sure to be followed by Increased com
mercial development between the coun
tries. Germany is the leader in this
method of trade cultivation. Its consuls
and commercial agents being required
to take a course of special training in
(Jie language and business methods of
the countries to which they are assigned.
The plan of the Bureau of American
Republics Is commendable and can
hardly fail to be productive of desirable
results.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture is usually a wise prophet
when his predictions concern matters
relating to the American farm, but he
made a wide guess when, a few years
ago, he declared that it would be but a
short time until America would cease
to be an exporter of wheat and bread
stuffs. He supported bis prediction by
an array of Interesting figures showing
that the wheat belt could not be well
enlarged in this country and that the
remarkably rapid Increase in the de
mand of wheat and breadstuff for
borne consumption would soon exhaust
the supply and leave nothing for ex
port. He went even " so far as to de
clare that it would not be long before
America would be compelled to import
wheat for home use. Broomhall's ta
bles. Just Issued, showing the world's
available supply of breadstuffs on
March 1, indicate that the fulfillment of
Secretary Wilson's prophecy is not im
ml nen t, at least
Comparison of stocks show that out
side of North America the wheat-growing
nations of the world have In store
less than 43,!V0,000 bushels of wheat.
as compared with 50.000,000 bushels
on March 1, 190ft. Stocks In the United
States and Canada shrunk less than
4.000,000 bushels in February and there
has been an increase in receipts, due to
the oientng of traffic from the north
western states that were under block
ade much of the winter. The United
States and Canada held 122.(310,000
bushels of wheat on March 1. making
tho- total world's supply 214,710,000
bnshels.
The tables relating to American
wheat show that the crop of 190ft, with
the supply left over from the previous
year, amounted to MS.OfiO.OfO bushels.
Of this the requirements for domestic
consumption and seeding amounted to
535,0110,000 bushels, leaving 900.000,000
bushels for export. Of this export sup
ply 105.000.000 bushels had been sent
ubroud yrior tg March 1, leaving, the
balance ready for foreign markets at
1 tB,oi(,oio, or about "O.ooo.ooo bushels
more than were available for that pur
jKise at this time last year. That the
foreign demand will soon exhaust this
supply is Indicated by reports showing
a shortage of the crop In Russia and
other whent-ralRlng countries in Europe.
The demand for wheat for home con
sumption has grown at about the rate
predicted by Secretnry Wilson, but the
wheat area has been extended beyond
what he thought possible and more In
telligent methods of fanning have In
crensed the production to an extent that
makes remote the prospect of America
becoming an Importer of wheat and
leaves the United States still lu the
proud position of being the granary of
the world.
UMAHA S DAXK STATKMEKT
The coiKlliJon of the Oiuaba national
banks at the close of business on March
22, Just made public In response to a
call from the comptroller of the cur
rency, shows a condition that Is most
encouraging. During the year the total
business of the five national banks has
increased more than $1,000,000. The
(hpoHlts In those banks have increased
during that time more than $3,000,000.
When it is considered that in the spring
of 11(00 it seemed that the very climax
of prosperity had been reached, the elo
quence of these figures will be more Im
pressive. That they do not represent
merely an accumulation of Idle money
Is shown by the fact that the loans and
discounts of these banks have also In
creased during the year to the extent
of almopt $.1,000,000.
Nor Is It alone the national banks
that are enjoying this growth of busi
ness, but that the prosperity is being
shrired by smaller business men and in
daiduals is proven by the fact that the
deposits In the two savings banks of
the city have Increased more than
$1,000,000 during the last year, con
clusively showing that the wage earn
ers and small depositors of the city
Lave thriven during the year.
The condition of the Omaha banks is
the best indication of the condition of
the city's business affairs Jn general.
The merchants and manufacturers of
Omnhn were never busier than at
present. The crowded streets are an
evidence of the life with which the
city teems. The extension of existing
enterprises and the establishment of
new show the growth of the city In Its
btisl'H'ss importance. From every point
of vkv, the outlook for Omaha never
seemed brighter than it does in this
early spring of 1007.
RAILROADS AKD THE 8T ATES.
The newly manifested desire of the
railroads of the' country to escape the
requirements of state legislative en
actments by seeking an asylum in con
trol and regulation by the federal gov
ernment Is finding many distinguished
advocates. Senator Newlands of Ne
vada, whose former close association
with the affairs of the Southern Pacific
Is well remembered, proposes that the
capitalization, stock and bond issues of
the railroads and their relations with
their employes and the public shall bo
made subject to the approval of the
Interstate Commerce commission and
in return their stocks and bonds be
freed from state taxation. This, the
senator urges ' zealously, would put an
end to conflicting legislation by various
states on the question of taxing bonds
and capital stock and would remove
one of the present chief sources of Irri
tation between the railroads and states.
Martin A. Knapp, the veteran chair
man of the Interstate Commerce com
mission, also has taken a stand against
the prevailing activity in state legisla
tures on the question of railway legis
lation and expresses bis belief that
"the present temper of the public mind
operates to check and delay, If not to
prevent, an increase of railway facili
ties when that increase is of the great
est importance." He proposes as a
remedy for existing conditions "the re-
Incorporation of our railroads under an
act of congress or some plan of fed
eral license that, although it would not
limit the actual power of the states.
nevertheless would have a potent influ
ence in preventing improper legislation
by the states and bring state laws into
harmony with national laws. Mani
festly such control as the states may
continue to exercise must be subordi
nated to that larger control which be
longs to the federal government"
Senator Newlands and Chairman
Knapp both support the contention ad
vanced by Mr. Yoakum of the Rock
Island that the railroad securities must
not be allowed to suffer because of the
rights of the stockholders and the small
investors. Mr. Knapp frankly states
that while these securities represent
more or less water they are not in the
hands of the men really responsible for
the fictitious values, but have passed
over to honest Investors who have
bought In good faith. All this may be
true, but the fact remains that the
manipulation of rates and other deals
necessary to neet payments on these
Inflated values places the burden on
the patrons and shippers of the coun
try. The railroad managers are now de
claring that they are tired of flxhtlns
off state legislation, mis is but an
other form of admitting that they are
no longer able to control state legisla
tures, because the public conscience has
been aroused and has become resentful
t railroad methods formerly over,
looked or endured as a matter of course.
While enlarged federal control of inter
state commerce may be salutary. It
will not necessarily Justify exemption
from legislation by the states. The
courts are still open to railroads, who
re familiar with the paths they have
worn to It. If the str.te Imvs pre un
constitutional, the railroads know bow
decrees to that effect may be obtained.
The case between the public and the
railroads Is on trial on Its merits and
It Cannot 1h sidetracked by mere ma
nipulation of the railroad switch.
The annual debate as to dots and
rabies Is now under way. It will take
more than the assurance from the doc
tor to , upset the popular superstition
connecting dogs with dog days, and H
will be a long time lefore the police
man censes to diagnose the dog's case
as rabies and kill him when he Is
merely thirsty. A few drinking foun- '
tains along the sun-baked city streets
will do more to eliminate the danger of
rabies In the summer than all the dog
muzzles that were ever manufactured.

"Hope deferred maketb the heart

ably prove, If he only hopes for the
resignation he now needs. It may be
that the governor can find a way of
accelerating the mental process of the

board who insists on banging on when
the others are all willing to quit. It may
be that the charges filed with Governor
Mickey and pigeonholed by., him will
come to trial yet.
Several Nebraska towns had costly
experience with fire while the high
winds prevailed on Tuesday. Omaha
was fortunate In escaping any serious
damage, but Chief Salter and his men
had several chances to show their vigil
ance and efficiency. Regardless of sin
gle or double shift, the Omaha fire de
partment has reached that stage where
It can be relied upon to grapple quickly
and successfully with the ordinary fire.
Wisconsin proposes ty. erect a new
state capltol building at a cost of

Pennsylvania's experience in capitol

sylvania building grew into $1.1,000,000
and the grafters have not finished the
work of division and silence.
It will be noted that the entire Doug

have Intimated to the Interior department
a desire to let go. A corres;ondent of the

Admiral George Dewey and his wife are

General Grosvenor of Ohio Is very proud
of an Incident which occurred In th closing-
hour of the last session of congress.
Shortly before adjournment Captain Mc
Grew, chief of the capltol police force, met
the venerable Ohio congressman In th ro
tunda and with every evidence of regret
placed him under arrest. "I trust you will
come peaceably," he said, with great re
spect, "for I should much regret to use
force." The congressman went alonr. half
Inclined to be amused, but nevertheless
somewhat Impressed. The two proceeded
to the captain's office, where every member
of the police force had assembled. There
upon Captain McGrew presented to the con
gressman a handsome watch and Masonlo
charm, delivering a pretty little speech.
General Grosvenor was visibly affected by
the Incident and was hardly able to express
his thanks. A day or two later th captain
received a long- letter expressing the gen
eral's appreciation.
Samuel J. Crawford, th civil war gov
ernor of Kansas, and Henry W. Blair, for
mer representative In congress from New

large, well built men and In splendid health,
notwithstanding they each have lived In

"Hello, George Washington," was Mr.
Blair's greeting to the Kansan.
"Toung man," Mr. Crawford shook hi
finger In the grissled faoe of Blair and
sternly said, "when you call me George
Washington you admit that I am a better
man than you are."
Going out of the door Blair turned Craw
ford around and took off his hat. "Now,"
he said, "doesn't he look like the Father of
hid Country?"
Tho resemblance between Governor Craw
ford and Washington' picture I remark
able. Crawford possesses the Washington
nose and cheek bones. The entire contour
of the head and face are surprisingly sim

BIT Job for Fool Killer.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
At first blush one might think that th
fool killer would merely have a little busU
nesa with the mayor of Fort Dodge. But
thl task will be much more axtenslve.
Did not the council pass the measure
unanimously? And did it not meet with
the approval of the majority of the cltl
sens? Fort Dodge would doubtless be
decimated If the fool killer faithfully per
formed hi duty.

' THE IIOXDl'RAll MILES.
Philadelphia Ledger. .
Forlorn of ages, can It be
Thnt time, repenting of the past.
Hath tardily accorded thee
Thy due at last?
The heavy burden and the load
The world hath heaped upon thy hack
Have found reward in cuss and goad
And sounding whnck.
The horse hath pranced through rhyme and
song
(E'en one of wood at Troy got fame).
But who hath tried In history long
To boost thy game?
But no, across the wires we're told
Of how a thief with burgl'ous tool
Attacked a stable, pinched an old
Honduran mule;
And how the Nlcaraguan who
Purloined that mule unchained the door
Which freed, although he never knew
The dogs of wary
So dusky braves shall soak the earth
With brunette gore In many a pool.
And all to demonstrate thy worth
Illustrious mule!
