Dr. Charles F. Akd, the newly Im
ported New Tork pastor, and Luther
Burbank. the plant expert, have both
sounded warnings within the week
against dangers which threaten the fu
ture of the American people. Dr. Aked,
fresh from Europe, devoted his first
sermon to discussing the Immigration
question as presenting a problem for
solution by the American people. He
spoke pointedly of the menace to the
nation's future which Is a part of the
cargo of each Immigrant-laden vessel
arriving at our porta. "It Is a ques
tion." said Dr. Aked, "whether the
primal American stock Is vitiated by
the interpermeatlon of an Inferior
race," and he urged great caution In
the admission of Immigrants and In
their education and Instruction after
their admission. ,
Prof. Burbank seea a similar danger,
but he has a different remedy. , "We
are more crossed," says he, "than any
other nation In the history of the world
and her we meet the same results that
are always seen In a much crossed race
of plants, all the worst as welt as all
the best qualities of each are brought
out In their fullest Intensities." Prof.
Dnrbank would have plant cultivation
methods adpoted in population rearing,
crossing and development, combining
by gradual process the hothouse speci
mens with the hardy outdoor wild
plants, to the final production of per
fect species. Rome such method, he
Insists, is essential to the saving of
Americans of the future from the evil
Influences that come over with the Im
migrants from inferior European
countries.
Both Dr. Aked and Prof. Burbank
are worrying themselves needlessly
about the dangers that threaten the
"primal American stock." The "lnter
permestlon" of the races has been
going on since the days, now being
celebrated at Jamestown, when the
Anglo-Saxon landed In "Virginia, for
permanent settlement. The "interper
meatlon" has been going on for about
$00 years. The broadened field of op
portunity in America has furnished un
limited opportunity for the immigrant
to throw off and overcome his "Inferi
ority" and he has taken advantage of
It to an extent which robs the warnings
of racial alarmists of their terrors.
OPTIMISM VP THE QOVLDS.
George Gould and his associates in
the railroad business have refused to
share any of the gloomy forebodings
of other railway financiers as to the
outlook for either the immediate or
remote future of the transportation in
terests in this country. "The one great
problem which confronts all of the rail
roads," says Mr. Gould, "Is to furnish
facilities to handle the business of the
country, which la growing at an un
precedented rate and is already taxing
the .facilities of transportation com
panies beyond their limit. I have no
fears for the future. The country was
never bo prosperous nor the outlook so
bright as at the present time." Mr.
Gould adds an endorsement of Presi
dent Roosevelt's railway policy and ex
presses a belief that good would result
from the adoption of some system of
judicious government supervision over
issues of railway securities.
Moreover, Stuyvesant Fish, recently
elected a member of the board of di
rectors of the Gould system of rail
roads, furnishes evidence In an inter
view that thw Gould optimism is to
take the form of deeds, rather than
words. He explains that Mr. Gould
proposes to commence the general re
construction of the railroads of his
entire system, Intending to spend about
$100,000,000 a year for this purpose,
the work to extend over a period of ten
years. This Is no philanthropic move
on the part of the Ooulds. They simply
recognize that the country grtdlroned
by their rails .has developed 8 traffic
far beyond the possibilities of existing
facilities and that lmprovementsmust
be made to care properly for the busi
ness offered at profitable rates. The
determination of the Goulds to spend
a vast sum of money in Improving their
roads Is proof that they see no possi
bility of a serious halt In the progress
of prosperity.
8ACCT NIC AH AQUA.
President Zelaya of Nicaragua ap
parently Is taking a mean advantage
of the fact' that Secretary Taft, the
political diplomatist of the administra
tion at Washington, has engagements
that will keep him busy for several
months. Under such conditions, the
Nlcaraguan president Is openly refus
ing to be satisfied with any peace prop
ositions offered by the United States
authorities looking to a settlement of
the troubles growing out of the latest
Central American revolution.
The trouble arises over the refusal
of Honduras to pay the expense of
being whipped by Nicaragua. Not satis
fled with achieving a victory over the
Hondurana and driving President B6
nllla Into exile, the president of Nica
ragua has filed a claim for Indemnity
la which he asks Honduras to pay all
the eipenses of both parties to the
contest. Honduras refused, and ap
pealed to President Roosevelt, who ad
vised Zelaya to make pear with Hon
duras and cut out the money consider
ation. Zelaya answers with a defiant
refusal to modify his terms and inti
mates that the Nlcaraguan forces will
be marching on Washington unless
President Rooaovelt backs down.
Th!o business of policing Central and
South America Is getting to be a pretty
big lob even for Uncle Bam. As soon
as one insurrection or revolution Is
suppressed trouble breaks out ts the
next block, and Mr. Taft cannot be la
more than three or four places at once.
It Is hoped war with Nicaragua may
b) avertftd. particularly as we are right
on the eve of an International peac
conference at The Hague and also be
cause the American volunteers will
Boon be needed In the bfvrvest fields.
It might be a good scheme to get
Santo Domingo, Venezuela, Cuba, Nica
ragua, Salvador, Honduras and other
South and Central American countries
to agree upon a schedule, like a base
ball league, so that trouble would not
be breaking out in more than one place
at the same time.
TR HIQHIH PRICK LKTEtS-
The bureau of labor at Washington
has just completed the compilation of
statistics secured from a wide investi
gation Into the cost of living for the
year 110$. The figures now published
relate to wholesale prices, and the
bureau Is at work upon returns show
ing retail prices which will be printed
In July. The consumer will not be sur
prised to learn that the wholesale
prices of living commodities are still
increasing and are higher than at any
other time In the seventeen-year period
covered by the bureau's Investigations.
Wholesale prices on 268 commodities
reached a higher level in 1906 than
at any other period since 1889. The
average for the year was S.6 per cent
higher than for 1905, $6.5 per cent
higher than for 1897 and $1.4 per cent
higher than the average for the ten
years ending with 1899.
The Investigations by the bureau In
cluded prices of farm products, food,
clothes and clothing, fuel and lights,
building material, drugs and chemicals.
furniture and house furnishings and all
of the necessities of living. In but two
groups was a decrease In prices shown
In 1908, compared with 1905, In farm
products and drugs and chemicals. The
average price of farm products In 1906
was but one-half of 1 per cent less
than for 1906, not enough to make
any appreciable difference in the
family's butter, egg and milk bills.
Food as a whole increased $.6 per cent
over the average prices for 1905, the
Increases being In fish, fruit, hog prod
ucts, rice, milk and vegetables. Minor
decreases were shown In coffee, eggs.
beef, sugar, flour and tea. These de
creases were In wholesale prices only
and were not noticed In retail prices.
Of the seventy-five articles included In
the clothing group, sixty-six showed an
Increase In price, five were stationary
and only four showed a decrease. Coal
and fuel prices Increased and there waa
a big boost In metals, building ma
terials and all articles entering Into
house construction and house furnlsh
ln. Officials of the bureau of labor make
no attempt to explain the causes of the
rise and fall of prices, explaining that
the causes "are too complex, the rela
tive Influence of each too uncertain, in
some cases involving too many eco
nomic questions to permit their dis
cussion In an article dealing only with
the facts and figures." The consumer,
however, lias his own explanation of
the causes. While he may blame some
to trust combination and the manipula
tion of prices In food supplies, he
knows that the old law of supply and
demand Is working overtime. With
work for every man, at advanced
wages, with an unequaled export de
mand, with the population increased
greatly by natural growth and Immi
gration, the mills and factories and
farms have been overtaxed to supply
eager customers waiting with cash In
hand. The people are buying more anil
better goods than ever before and in
creased prices are Inevitable until the
factories and farms get ahead of the
demands upon them.
LKS5I POLITICS-MORK BUSINESS.
No" that the district court has
banded down its decision In the man
damus suit brought to determine who
is city engineer, the people of Omaha
who pay city taxes and want to get
the worth of their money will all join
In a petition that we may have less
polities and more business In the city
hall.
While the councllmen have been
playing peanut politics to connect
democratic pie biters with the pay
roll, the real work of the city admin
istration haa been neglected or ob
structed. The streets of Omaha are In a de
plorable condition, not only Impeding
traffic and endangering the lives of
people passing over them In fast
moving vehicles, but they are abso
lutely repellant to visiting strangers
who would otheiwlse have the most
favorable Impression of our city. The
asphalt repair plant should be started
up at once and kept busy until the
holes in the pavements are patched.
New street Improvements which havo
been ordered for months have been
waiting for the council to clear the
track for the public works department.
There Is no good reason why our pave
ments should not be laid and com
pleted for once without waiting until
after the open season Is over and the
cold weather sets In In the fall.
It Is htgh time tor the officials In
the city hall to give some considera
tion to the demands of the public and
to work together so far as the public
interests require, even If to do so they
must cut out personalities and politics.
The application of the Northwestern
road to oe allowed to base Its passen
ger fares on circuitous lines according
to the mileage of the short distance
route would Indicate that there is no

to adjust rates to the new conditions.
The redaction of through rates to the
sum of the locals will also come la
time.
William Jennings Bryan has suf
fered the first severe setback la his
propaganda for government ownership
of railroads. The battery of high
school debaters, right out of Mr.
Bryan's home town of Lincoln, has
been silenced by the representatives
of the Omaha High school, arguing for
private ownership and operation, sub
ject only to government regulation.
The inviolable freedom of the press
has been Invaded by the Institution
by the faculty of a Nebraska college
of a censorship over the student pub
lication. This Invasion of a sacred
right guaranteed by the 'constitution
should bo Indignantly resented and re
sisted. No college newspaper can be
considered successful until It has out
witted an attempted censorship.
No postoQce red tape should be al
lowed to prevent prompt transporta
tion of the mall between the Omaha
poftofflce and depots and substations.
The Postofflce department will surely
find some way to give Omaha people
modern mall facilities rather than
lore them back to the pony express
of pioneer days.
According to the report of the city
comptroller, Omaha's Water board has
spent $24,894.85, of which $23,000 In
round figures haa been absorbed for
salaries of the water commissioners,
its lawyers, engineering experts and
stenographers. And no municipal
water works to manage yet!
Commander Peary needs but $60,000

Rather let the fund be placed In soma en

go, not ostentatiously, but quietly and
effectually, to spewjt for him whose pen
and tongue are silent One of the charities
In which Rosewater waa Interested during
Ufa wou'd be the proper plaoe for the en
dowment Beatrice Times: There is a generally
favorable response to the suggestion that
a monument should be built by, Nebraska
newapaper men to the memory of Edward
Rosewater. As to Its location, we entirely
agree with tha Kearney Hub. It says:
"And what more appropriate place for It
could ba chosen than tha center of the
msln corridor of tha capltol building, a
perpetual reminder to the stste officials
and representatives that the living embodi
ment stood alwsys for 'Equality before the
law' and for good government and honest
legislation."
Aurora Republican: The suggestion has
been mads by the Hastings Tribune that
It would be a fitting thing for tha newapa
per men of Nebraska to raise a fund for
the erection of a mot turner to the late Ed
ward Rosewater. whose voice and pan did
much for Nebraska throughout the third
of a century during which he edited The
Omaha Bee. No class of men are mors
capable of appreciating the services ren
dered by Mr. Rosewater to the state than
his fellow workers In the newspaper vine
yard, and the Tribune's suggestion should
be acted upon without dolay.
Wlsner Free Frees: A monument to Ed
ward Rosewater haa been suggested by the
Hastings Tribune. No greater monument
oould exist to his Industry and toil than
the Bee building In Omaha, and The Onuiha
Bee Itself. This Institution was the result
of his own effort, however, and a monu
ment erected to his memory by fellow men
would bring an added tribute to one of tha
foremost Nebraskana of hla time. As sug
gested by the Hastings paper, Mr. Rose
water spent bis life fighting for the prin
ciples which he deemed to be right That
he originated srtne thirty years ago and
kept persistently at until the time of his
death a campaign along the lines of pre

to give him tha state's highest political
office, and now that he Is dead It la not sur

Norfolk News: A monument to the late
Edward Rosewater has been suggested by
the Hastings Tribune. No greater monu
ment could exist to hla Industry and toll
than The Bee building In Omaha and The
Omaha Bee Itself. Tttls Institution was the

monument erected to his memory by fel
low men would bring an added tribute to

Mr. Rosewater spent his life In fighting
for the principles wblch he deemed to be

During his lifetime many Nebraskana
hoped and triad to give him the state's

The Idea is a worthy one and one which
should meet with hearty endorsement
throughout the commonwealth.
Blair Courier: Tha Camden, N. J., Post
Telegram suggests ths propriety of erect
ing a monument to the memory of the late
Edward Rosewater. The Hastings Tribune
seconds the motion and makes the first
contribution, offering $25 for this purpose.
A list of most excelUyit laws passed by tha
lata legislature is probably the moat fitting
monument to the memory of Edward Rose
water, for no one did more to help along
tha cause of reform In Nebraska than he.
For yeans ha fought "a good fight" and
gradually the leaven of his Influenoa
through Nebraska's greatest newspaper
did Its work. He was greatly chagrined
over the losa of the senatotwhlp, but no one
waa more pleased over the results of tha
last republican state convention than be,
both as to plat from and nominee. We can
almost hear him yet In that memorable
speech after his defeat pledging support to
Brown, In which ha said: "Let ua writs
'Integrity' over the door of curt state
house." And again In that last memorable
speech at the Grand Army of the RepuMlo
reunion on ths very day of his death, he
said: "You want to stand up for- Ne
braska and for the nation; you want to
help tia emancipate this great state from
corporate control, and now Is tha hour.
Tha hour ia come because the struggle is
on; becauoe these giant corporations are
not content merely to have fair men in
publlo office; not merely to be treated
fairly, honorably and Justly, but they want
tools. Instead of giving us oak and hick
ory in the state house, they gave us hase
brush and willow. Haael brush and willow
we have had. and, thank God, we are going
to have at least one man (Sheldon) In that
state house within the next six months,
that la made of oak or hickory, yea, of Iron
wood." That very night death cvertook htm,
but who will say he had not done his part
and more to bring about ths reform laws
of which Nebraska Is so proud today. A
monument of stone! Tea. If you wUh, hut
a greater monument la cherished In the
fleshly hearta of every Nebraakan who
really loves his state and his country.

May be only tired liver, or a starved liver. It would be 8 stnpid M
well u Mvage thinjr to bent a weary or starved man because he lagged
in his work. So in treating the lapsing, torpid liver it Is u great
mistake to lash it with strong drastic drups. A torpid liver is but aa
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled btxly whose organs are weary
with over-work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion

And holds the Jamestown fair.

Propelled his birch cam.
The fleets of mighty naval powers
Are anchored on the blue;
A thousand silken banners gay !
Are fluttering In the air,
And batteries from every ship
Salute the Jamestown fair.

Three centuries of renown
In war and pence have won for her
A fadeless laurel crown.
The fruits of all her years of toll
Are proudly garnered there
Beneath the countlesa clustered rooBJJ
That mark the Jamestown fair.
From Indian tepees she has reared
The palaces of trade.
From strings of savage wampum shells
The gold of commerce made.
The smoke from her tobacco crops
Is fragrant everywhere,
Ami like an asure aureole
Surrounds the Jamestown fair.

Among the glittering spires
Arising from the ashes gray
Of ancient council fires,
And ready to receive her friends
With pride beyond compare,
Bhe opens wide her spacious gates
