The Farmers' National congress has
adopted a resolution, without a dis
senting vote, recommending to con
gress the abolition of the system of
distributing free garden seeds each
year. This resolution will be filed
with the committees on agriculture
in the senate and house at Washing-
ton and will be properly aired at the
meetings of those bodies and then the
appropriation bills will, go through,
carrying an authorization .of about
$300,000 for the annual free seed dis
tribution. This has been the program
for a number of years, in spite of the
fact that congress has been petitioned
by every farmers' organization in the
country to abandon the seed habit.
The free seed distribution is one of
the cheapest forms of graft and use
less expenditure. Originally the law
governing the distribution was de
signed to facilitate the distribution
and introduction of "rare and valua
ble plants," but that design has been
entirely lost sight of in the last few
years. Now the seeds sent out are of
the plain garden variety, without ref
erence to their adaptability for the
different' sections of the country,
their only recommendation being that
they do not cost the farmers anything.
Each congressman Is allowed some
thing like 14,000 packages. The rep
resentatives from rural districts, by
trading with members from cities, fre
quently Increase this allowance to 60,
000 or 70,000 packages and the malls
are burdened with the franked pack
ages going to farmers who have no
use for them, who have better seeds
of their own raising, anyway. ' But
the packages come In a franked en
velope bearing the signature of "our
member," and that seems ' to be the
only excuse for the large expenditure.
The seed distribution is a sample of
class legislation of the rankest kind.
Congress has no more right to furnish
farmers with garden seeds free of
charge than it has to furnish city
dwellers with pianos or coal shovels.
AHS YVU REQlSTKHEDt
The change in the law governing
registration makes it necessary to pro
pound thU question repeatedly, be
cause more than 2,000 voterB who par
ticipated in the primary failed to reg
ister at that time, although, doubtless,
supposing that they were registered
by that very operation. The fact that
a man voted at the primary does not
necessarily indicate that he is regis
tered. Every one recel'-ing a notice
from the various campaign committees
to the effect that he is unregistered
should, therefore, make It a point to
appear before the registrars next Sat
urday and supply the omission.
The importance of registering nt
this time cannot be too strongly em
phasized. The registration, books aa
now made np will serve not only as
the list of voters entitled to ballots at
the November election, but also as the
enrollment for all primary elections
for the ensuing year. Only those on
the registration lists will be entitled
to a voice in the selection of delegatea
to the national nominating conventions
in the early spring and again in the
primary election to be held in Septem
ber of next year, at which candidates
will be nominated for all the state
offices, for member of congress from
this dUtrlct, for the legislative delega
tion and for the county offices. Failure
to register now means self-disfran-chisement
for all these imperative
civic duties.
Are you registered? If not, be sure
to register next Saturday.
ABV8K OF CORroHAUOn SVRPl.VS.
The financial flurry in New - York
has resulted in calling direct atten
tion to a condition that is causing
some worry and much speculation
among bankers over what appears to
be a radical defect in the laws govern
ing corporations. William O. Rocke
feller, treasurer of the Standard Oil
company, testified in a recent investi
gation of that company that It was his
custom as treasurer to make large
loans to "brokers, individuals and
othert," for operations In stocks. He
defended his action by stating that
the Standard, on account of its great
business interests, usually had a large
amount of money on hand which It
considered thoroughly legitimate to
lend to anyone furnishing adequate
security.
No objection is raised as to the
right of an individual to loan his sur- !
a different question appears when a
corporation embarks in the money
loaning business or . into any other
form of business not specifically pro
vided for in its articles of incorpora
tion. It is urged that the directors
of the Standard, by using the corn-
pany's vast surplus for apeculative j
purposes in stocks, through loans or
otherwise, have disregarded the rights ,
of the stockholders to whom such sur
plus funds belong. It is charged, too,
that the use of such funds seldom
gives the stockholders any enlarged
profits, because the directors and syn
dicates generally take all extra earn
ings from such speculation, as was
disclosed clearly in the recent life In
surance investigations. The bankers
are also complaining that the express
companies have been following the ex
ample of the Standard and doing a
general banking business without be
ing held In any measure responsible to
the federal or state authorities.
Perhaps the strangest argument
against this method of using trust
funds for banking purposes is the fact
that no record available to the public
authorities Is kept of these borrowings
and lending, and consequently no
means of regulating their effect upon
THE OMAHA
I the money market. The Standard Oil
i company admits to having loaned from
$30,UOU,000 to $60,000,000 at various
times to stock brokers, completely up
setting all calculations made by bank
ers and financial experts as to the con
dition of the money market. While
Wall street apd New Tork are more
j concerned by this than any other part
of the country, recent developments
tend to support the protest against
mixing up banking with all kinds of
corporation business, as liable In time
of stress to do great injury to legiti
mate business interests.
THE LAW oy lOySOLlDATWN.
The people of both Omaha and
South Omaha . should know exactly
how consolidation may be brought
about and what the immediate effect
will be. The merger act put on the
statute books by the last legislature
provides that whenever petitions
signed by 10 per cent of the ejectors
duly registered in each of two adjoin
ing cities, such as Omaha and South
Omaha, are filed with the county
board the question of consolidation
shall be submitted at the next general
election, so that the voters may Indi
cate their wishes under the headings,
"Yes" or "No." If at the election a
majority of the votes cast on the prop
osition are affirmative proclamation
is to be made by the Board of County
Commissioners within ten days after
the completion of the canvass, declar
ing the result, and the merger "shall
take place and become effective on the
first day of the following January and
'on ana after Bald date the sald cltIeg I
so merged shall bo and constitute one
municipal corporation and a city of
the metropolitan class."
Other sections of the law would
make the Greater Omaha succeed to
all the property rights and contracts
of South Omaha and be liable for all
its obligations. The greater city
would become responsible for the
bonded indebtedness of South Omaha
and would acquire all the debts, taxes,
assessments, fltios, licenses, claims and
demands of every kind due, or to be
come due, to South Omaha. Omaha
would become the defendant in all
suits involving South Omsba and the
records of South Omaha and other
municipal property in the hands of its
city officers would have to be ac
counted for and turned over to the
respective officers of Omaha entitled to
receive them.
Boiled down in a nutshell, then, by
voting for consolidation now, the
merger of tho two cities would take
place on January 1, 1908, and all the
city officers and employes of South
Omaha would vacate at that time un
less continued or re-employed by the
government of the greater city. Be
fore the next municipal election in
Omaha the enlarged city would have
to be redlstrlcted under our charter
into twelve wards of substantially
equal population, which would give
South Omaha its proportionate rep
resentation in the city council by mak
ing of the annexed territory three or
four wards in the greater city. On
the permanent boards, such as the opinions and always wrong. After this
School board, Park board, Library w niay as well conclude that the chan
board, etc.. South Omaha would ac- ellor ha" no ,ntenUon of ever permitting
quire representation as soon as vacan
cies occurred, or more probably by
making immediate vacancies. South
Omaha would at once become entitled
to ita Bhare of the various public im-
prOvement funds for paving, sewers,
narks etc I
The tax levy for Omaha for 1908 is
already made, but would be supple
mented by the taxes due from South
Omaha. In the following year the
Omaha charter would permit an addi
tion of not to exceed $2 00,000 to the
amount to be raised from the tax levy
in order to take care of the additional
territory and extended municipal ac
tivities. But on the enlarged assess-
ment roll oT the consolidated cities this
... .
money wouia De raisea not only with
out an Increased tax rate, but at an
actually reduced tax rate. Within a
year after merger all remnants of pre
viously duplicated municipal machin
ery w ill disappear and the consolidated
city would be governed as one, with
equal voice and representation in
every section according to population
and voting strength.

of our district court to the effect that
vacancies on the ticket cannot be
filled by the party committee where
no candidate sought the nomination

"Formerly we could ride across country
In any direction around Washington; and
almost as soon aa wa left the beautiful,
treo-ahaded street of the city we were la

velt, In 8crlhner's. "But as Washington

Fortunately there are now marry delightful

and-ralls, about four feet high, and aome

I ol nl" Jumps in a spirit or matter-of-fact
enjoyment. But he now and then shows
queer kinks In his temper. On one of
these occasions he began by wishing to
rush his Jumps, and by trying to go over
the wings Instead of the Jumps themselvee.
He fought hard for his head; and as It
happened that the best picture wa got
of him In the air was at this particular
time, It gives a wrong Idea of his ordinary
behavior, and also. I slncerelv trust, a
wron lda of m "nds. Generally he
i takes Ma Jump
nps like a gentleman."
Both army and navy have adopted the
finger print syatem In connection with en-
Navy department. If the man deserts and
attempts to re-enllst his Identity Is readily
established, and he Is held for punishment.
The aystem has been used by the police for
the Identification of criminals. There is a
prejudice against Its use by tho army and
navy, when none should exist. For In
stance a man called at the adjutant gen
eral's office and anked the officer In charge
to give him a letter to the auditor so ho
could get a claim allowed.
"I haven't a cent," he said, "and unless
I get the money due me from the auditor,
I'll be arrested as a vagrant."
"I'd like to help you," said the officer,
"but I don't know you. Now it you had
enlisted alnce we adopted the finger print
system, there would be no difficulty about
your Identification."
The man's face lighted up. "I was court
martialed ahortly before my discharge,"
he said, "and they took a print."
With this clew the man's record was
looked up, a fresh finger print compared
with that on file, and. It being found to
correspond, he was given the letter to. the
auditor which he desired.
In the new railroad station In Washing
ton, which will be opened in December,
a private entrance and suite of rooms will
, be at the dlsDosal of the. president of the
United States. The suite Is located In the
: southeast corner of the building and com
pr,e8 an entrance vestibule, three retlr-
ing rooms, one for the exclusive use of the
executive, and a grand reception room
seventy by thirty feet. The entire suite,
finished in the finest mahogany, will be,
when completed, magnificently decorated
in gold leaf of trie most expensive quality
and will be adorned by coats of arms at
either end and superior furniture and dec
orations. The president's private entrance and
apartments are exclusive. They are with
out connection with the remainder of the
building. No other passengers, with the
exception of the diplomatic corps, will be
I Permitted to use the president's
suite.
Should crowds flock to see the executive at
the station It will be a sumple matter for
a handful of policemen to keep them back
from tho two doorways at the corner,
through which the- president and party may
pass at their choice. A private driveway
for the president and membera of the dip
lomatic corps "!ll be one of the features.
When the Union depoi is In use not even

THE SEW nuriDLlCAXHM,
Roosevelt Pollclea Expected to Dom
inate Party Principles.
Philadelphia North American.
In the resolutions committee of the next
national convention Is to be fought out
the question of whether the republican
party Is to write an entirely new platform,
based upon ard embodying the vlewa and
pollclea of President Roosevelt, or Is to
adhere to Its time-worn doctrines which
have outlived their usefulness as absolutely
as the declarations of tha confederate con
stitution. That President Roosevolt and those who
stand with him are advocating an entirely
new set of principles, a general rejuvena
tion of party doctrines to meet the ex
igencies of the present and the future,
without regard for the past, la becoming
dally more apparent, and that they will
auccec-d Is almost a foregone conclusion.
Ther? Is no proposition to change the
name of the republican party, but if the
president has his way, and the loyalty of
the public to Its own and the country's
Interests does not waver, then there will
be little semblstn-e between the organiza
tion which Is to ceak the support of the
country In the next presidential campaign
and that which the stump orators of the
past have made the subject of their
praises.
The new republican party, which the
supporters of the administration will or
ganize If they control the convention, will
be a national party. Ita aim will be the
upbuilding of the nation
n with the individual
members of the great population regarded
as the most Important component parts of
the nation. -No
ohe In' reading the last six speeches
of the president, without any previous
knowledge of his political affiliations, coulv.
tell whether he belonged to any party or
ganization. They would recognize only the
fact that is Is ardently laboring for the
good of the whole country, and Is aa
strenuously endeavoring to persuade the
people to labor In tha same direction.
So absolutely without one note of par
tisan feeling have been the president's ut
terances that the democratic communities
he has addressed have displayed even
more enthusiasm in his leceptlon than
might have been expected from commu
nities composed entirely of republicans.
In his treatment of tha various great
public questions he has discussed, the
president has utterly Ignored the existence
of party lines. He lias spoken only to his
fellow-citizens of the United States, and
he has spoken to them ot the best means
of advancing the common interests of all
in a manner that has enlisted. In support
of his progressive propositions, the non
partisan spirit of the entire country.
In many respects the last speeches of
the president have been the most re
markable, and at the same time the most
admirable, of his whole career.

Oh, the merry, merry summer time ha

The rights are cool and long:
The lark haa hushed her song;
The sumac and the maiden's nose are red;
Fat people with the aathma loudly wheeze.
And. alas!
O'er the grass

Coal la shooting down the chutes,
And the hoot owl sadly hoots
If at all.
While the benches In the park
Are deserted after dark
It Is fall!
