Dr. Charle F. Aked, the newly Im ported New York pastor, and Luther Burbank, the plant expert, bare both sounded warnings within the week against dangers which threaten the fu ture of the American people. Dr. Aked, fresh from Europe, devoted bis first sermon to discussing the immigration question as presenting a problem for solution by the American people. lie 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 ports. "It 1b a ques tion," Bald Dr. Aked. "whether the primal American stock Is vitiated by the interpermeatton 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 sees 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 well as all the best qualities of each are brought out In their fullest intensities." Prof. Burbank 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. Some 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 Btock." The "lnter- permeatlon" 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 "lnterper- 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 OF THE QOVLDS. George Oould 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. Oould, "la to furnish facilities to handle the business of the country, which is 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 so prosperous nor the outlook bo bright as at the present time." Mr. Oould adds an endorsement of Presi dent Roosevclt'B 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 Oould system of rail roads, furnishes evidence In an inter view that they Oould optimism Is to take the form of deeds, rather than words. He explains that Mr. Oould 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 Goulds. They simply recognize that the country grldtroned by their rails has developed a 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. t . SAVCT NICARAGUA. 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 Hondurans and driving President B6- nllla into exile, the president of Nlca ragua has filed a claim for Indemnity la which he asks Honduras to pay all the cipenses of both parties to the contest. Honduras refused, and ap pealed to President Roosevelt, who ad vised Zelaya to make peace 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 Roosevelt backs down. This bu since of policing Central and South America is getting to be a pretty big job even tor Uncle Sam. As soon as one Insurrection or revolution Is suppressed trouble breaks out fa the next block, and Mr. Taft cannot be In more than three or tour place at once. It Is hoped war with Nicaragua may be averted, particularly as we are right on the eve of an International peace conference at The Hague and also be cause the American volunteers will soon be needed In the harvest 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. TRJC HIQIIKR PRICK LEVELS 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 106. 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 258 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, 86.6 per cent higher than for 1897 and $2.4 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 1906, 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 190S, 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, Blxty-slx showed an increase In price, five were stationary and only four showed a decrease. Coal and fuel prices Increased and there was a big boost In metals, building ma terials and all articles entering Into house construction and house furnish ing. 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 Borne 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, as 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 nnequaled 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 and better goods than ever before and In creased prlc98 are Inevitable until the factories and farma get ahead of the demands upon them. rss poircs-fOB bpsiaiss.

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 has 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 have 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 ahould not be laid and com pleted for once without waiting until after the open season is over and the cold weather seta In In the fall. It la high time tor the officials in the city hall to give some considera tion to the demands of the public and to work together so tar as the public interests require, even If to do so they must cut out personalities and politics The application of the Northwestern road to be allowed to base 1U passen ger fares on circuitous line according to the mileage of the short distance route would Indicate that there Is no present Inteutlon in that quarter to contact the l-cent fare law, lint rather to adjust rates to the new conditions. The redaction of through rates to the sum of the locals will also come In time. William Jennings Bryan has suf fered the flrst severe setback In his propaganda for government ownership of railroads. The battery of high school debaters, right out of Mr. Brysn'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 be Indignantly resented and re sisted. No college newspaper can be considered successful until it has out witted an attempted censorship. No postofflce red tape should be al lowed to prevent prompt transporta tion of the malls between the Omaha postofflce and depots and substations. The Postofflce department will surely find some way to give Omaha people modern mall facilities rather than lorce 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 has 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 more to eqnlp his expedition for an other dash at the north pole. It would to worth while to subscribe it tor him and let him chase the north pole back where It belongs, Instead of allowing It to float around over the corn belt. One of the lumber concerns Included In the suit brought by the attorney general under the anti-trust law to dissolve the Nebraska Lumber Deal ers' association objects to the report of the referee. Some people do not know when they are well treated. A dog may have the status of prop erty In Nebraska, but' that concession does not authorise any dog owner to eet a vicious animal at large. The dog population of Omaha could suffer material reduction without injury to the community.

As the situation now stands, any milk dealer using a bottle under the proper slse, or not properly marked, Is liable to a fine of from $5 to $100 for each offense.

Aurora Republican: The en guest Ion ha been made by the Hastings Tribune that It would be a fitting thing for th newspa per men of Nebraska to raise a fund for the erection of a monument to the late Ed ward Roeewater, whose voice and pen did much for Nebraska throughout the third of a century during which he edited The Omaha Bee. No class of men are mora capable of appreciating th service 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 delay.

The Hastings Tribune seconds the motion and makes the first contribution, offering $2 for this purpose. A list of most excellent law passed by th late legislature I probably th most fitting monument to the memory of Edward Rose water, for no one did more to help along the cause of reform In Nebraaka than he. For years he fought "a good fight" and gradually the leaven of hi Influence through Nebraska' greatest newspaper did it work. He waa greatly chagrined over the loss of the senatorehip. but no one waa more pleased over the recruits of the last republican state convention than he, both aa to platfrom and nominees.

It would be a stupid s well as savage thing to bent a weary or starved man because he lapsed in his work. So In treating the lagging, torpid liver it is great mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over-work. Start with the stomach nnd allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Tut them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery haa made many marrelo.is cures of "liver complaint," or torpid liver, by its wonderful contM over the organs of digestion and nutrition. Itl restores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions oil the blood-making glands, cleanses the system of poisonous accumu4 lations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by tho: defection of other organs. Symptoms. If yon have bitter or bad taste in the morning, f oor or vari able appetite.coated tongue, loul breath, constipated or irregular bowels, feel weak, easily tired, despondent, frequent headaches, pain or distress in "small of back," gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach, perhaps nausea, bitter or sour "risings" in throat after eating, and kindred symptoms of weak stomaeh and torpid liver, or biliousness, no medicine will relieve you more promptly or enre you more permanently than Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only a part of the above symp toms will be present at one time and yet point to torpid liver, or biliousness and weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread and biscuit, griddle cakes and other indigestible food and take the "Golden Medical Disoovery" regularly and site to it$ uit until yon are vigorous and strong. Of Golden Seal root, which is one of the prominent ingredient of "Golden Medical Discovery," Dr. Roberta Barth olow, of Jefferson Medical College, says: "Very useful as a stomachic (stomach) tonic and in atonic dyspepsia.
