FOR A REPUBLICAN MISSOCRl
Enthusiastically endorsing the can
dldacy of Mr. Taft for the presidency
and pledging its delegates to work and
vote for his nomination at Chicago,
tho Mlneourl republican convention
Just held In St. Louis took other action
which will enable the party to go into
the coming campaign with assuring
confidence of carrying the state for
both the national and local tickets.
Tho convention declared in favor of
Herbert S. Hadley, now attorney gen
eral of the state, for the republican
nomination for governor and put Its
strongest men to the front all along
the line.
The endorsement of Mr. Hadley for
governor and the personnel of the na
tional delegates are significant evl
dences of the new life infused Into the
republican party of Missouri since Its
triumph in 1904. For many years
prior to that time, party control had
rested with men who, following the
pattern of republican organizations
in the solid south, had given their
chief thought to federal patronage In
stead of to efforts to win at the polls
With the removal of the old regime
and the victory in 1904, the younger
clement secured control of the organ'
lzation and has since been making vlg'
orous contest for all state, local and
legislative offices, with the result that
the party is now thoroughly regenerated
and in fighting trim. Attorney Gen
eral Hadley has made a record which
has attracted attention throughout the
nation and he is accorded rank as one
of the ablest young men in the party.
That he will poll the fullest strength
of his own party In the state and also
most of the Independent vote is con
ceded by the well Informed.
While Mr. Bryan's friends insist that
he s certain of Missouri In the coming
campaign, nothing in the recent polit
ical history of the state or in the pres
ent Indications warrants this confl
dence. In 1896 the democrats, under
Mr. Bryan, polled 363,677 votes in
Missouri, and the republicans 804,940
Missouri democrats were enthusiastic
free sllverites, trained in the school of
"Silver Dick" Bland. In 1900, Mr.
Bryan's vote was 351,922( a loss of
11,755 from 1896, while the repub
lican vote was 314,092, a gain of 9,152
over 1896. In the Parker campaign
In 1904, tho democratic vote dropped
to 296,312, while the Roosevelt vote
Jumped to 321,449. Since Mr. Bryan
last ran. 130.000 new voters have at
tained a ballot In the state and all
tests thus far mado show that a large
majority of them are republicans.
Another gratifying feature from the
republican standpoint lies in the fact
that while the republican party is bet
ter organized and more harmonious
than it has ever been before in tho
state, the democratic party in Missouri
Is torn by factional fights that have
fairly disrupted it. In the fight for
the control of the state the republicans
have every encouragement of success.
ixLASt) waterways report.
The preliminary report of the Inland
Waterways commission. Just submitted
to congress With an accompanying mes
sage by President Roosevelt, furnishes
a hint of the vast amount of work
necessary before any systematic plan
of waterways Improvement can be en
tered upon. In the view of the com
mission, co-operation rather than com
petition between rail and water trans
portation companies is needed to re
lieve freight congestion.
Since present and prospective rail
ways reach all parts of the country,
while navigable waterways are confined
to certain natural lines. It Is clear that
railways can so control trans
portation as to leave the water
ways Insufficient traffic to sup
port the requisite vessels. As the
commission indicates, so large a por
tion of railway traffic is free from
water competition that railways cun
readily afford to so reduce rates on
those portions affected by water com
petition as to destroy the profits of the
water line without seriously affecting
the profits of the rail system, which
recoup these reductions by higher
rates elsewhere. The commission in
sists that before any general work of
mprovement is commenced some plan
should be adopted by congress for se
curing a fair division of traffic be
tween rail and water lines at compet-
ng points and rendering the two sys
tems complementary and harmonious,
and for co-ordinating their rates and
management economically with benefit
to the country.
More important than the Improve
ment of the navigable streams, so far
as Immediate action is concerned, is
the necessity of laws preventing mo
nopolies from securing control of the
sources of water power found la our
running streams. Private control of
this water power deprives the govern
ment and the state of the right to use
these natural resources for the bene
fit of the whole people. Tho import
ance of retaining federal control of the
streams Is Illustrated by the work the
government has done in irrigation pro
jects. Already more than 10,000,000
acres of former waste lands have been
reclaimed and male highly productive,
and by a proper system of storage res
ervoirs and conservation of waters,
more than 70,000.000 acres of land
now arid may be made highly produc
tive and capable of furnishing homes
for 10,000,000 people.
While there will probably be disap
pointment that the commission has not
recommended early start upon some
general improvement work, it must be
admitted that the report is wisely con
servative. The commission recom
mends a further and detailed Inquiry
Into the subject with a view of formu
lating s definite plan of Improvement,
and making certain its continuity and
co-ordination, expert Initiative in th
choice of projects and the succession
of works, freedom In selection of pro
jects In accordance with the terms o
lu-operauon ana tne widest oppor
tunlty to apply modern business meth
ods in executing work finally decided
upon. The entire report serves to
emphasize the magnitude of the ques
Hon of Inland waterways improvement
and the Importance of entering upon It
intelligently.
ADVERTISl OMAHA.
OMAHA, Feb. 2, l!Wt. To the Editor of
Tho Bee: I notice In your editorials a par
agraph saying that "The way to advertise
Omaha Is to advertise." The Real Estate
exchange has been discussing the question
of advertising Omaha, but this advice of
yours does not help us much unless there
Is some hidden meaning In it.
REAL ESTATE MAN
There is no hidden meaning here at
all. When we assert that the way to
advertise Omaha is to advertise, wo
mean Just what we say. There are
various ways to advertise Omaha, only
one of which is under discussion by the
Real Estate exchange, which is flgur
Ing on advertising the city's attractions
and resources In outside publications
Every city gets Its best advertising
every day in its own newspapers
which portray to the public both at
home and abroad its manifold actlvl
ties and its various industrial, political
and social movements. But there Is a
phase of the work of the newspaper In
advertising a city which Is too often
without proper appreciation. The ad
vertising columns In the leading news
papers of each city form one of the
best indices to the enterprise of tho
business men in that city.
People who pick up a strange news
paper and find It crowded with attrac
tive announcements of retail dealers,
banks, factories, Jobbing houses, brok
ers and professional men are quick to
be Impressed with the pushing, thriV'
ing, substantial character of its bus!
nesa life. The head of a great dry
goods establishment at Kansas City
said the other day that his firm used
eleven full pages In local papers each
week for its advertising and was aston
Ished to hear that a full page ad tn an
Omaha paper had been a rarity during
the preceding month. Even down at
Lincoln the local papers enjoy an ad
vertising patronage proportionately
far greater than those in Omaha and
consequently Omaha suffers by com
parlson.
We repeat that the way to advertise
Omaha Is to advertise. v
THAT VRUWSSVILLB AFFAIR.
After hearings extending over many
months, the senate committee on mill
tary affairs has finally voted to sus
tain President Roosevelt in his dis
missal of the battalion of the Twenty
fifth infantry for the "shooting up"
of the town of Brownsville, Tex., on
August 13, 1906. While the commit
tee is divided upon some features of
the report, a resolution declaring that
the weight of the testimony showed
that none of the soldiers participated
n the affray was voted for by only
Senator Foraker.
The real truth of the Brownsville
affair will probably never be known.
Volumes of testimony have been taken
in the case and much of It has been
conflicting. There is little or no room
for doubt that some of the troopers
took part in the shooting. The oppo
sition to the president's order of dis
missal was based on the contention
that he exceeded his authority In dis
banding the entire battalion when it
was not even claimed that all the men
were implicated. The president Justi
fied his course by declaring that the
troopers had entered into a "con
spiracy of silence" to shield the real
offenders, thus making them all
equally guilty. The committee's de
cision to support the president's course
will be generally accepted as evidence
that he acted entirely within his rights
on the information before him, as It is
well known that a majority of the
committee Is more or less opposed to
the president's policies and would, if
facts had warranted, have taken some
pleasure in making; an adverse report.
From the beginning of the hearing.
Senator Foraker has been Indus
triously engaged In an effort to make
political capital out of the case and
haB apparently worked harder to se-
ure partisan advantage than to learn
the truth. It is this that has made it
6o difficult to get at the exact facts.
The senator announces his intention to
continue the fight by offering a resolu
tion for the restoration to the army of
all of the discharged Eoldiers and al
lowing them back pay. He promises
o make a three days' speech In sup
port of his measure, with the evident
purpose of manufacturing a campaign
ocument. Under the circumstances,
the public will accent the committee's
finding and refuse to take any further
stock in the efforts of Mr. Foraker to
keep it alive as an Issue In factional
politics.
The use of State Superintendent Mc-
Brien's nr.me- on the circulars gotten
out by the anti-Taft people, after he
ad in his Marquette club speech em
phasized the fact that ho is a member
of the executive committee of the state
Taft league, is decidedly questionable
politics. The wire pullers, however,
who have been trying to head off Taft
In Nebraska have shown that they are
not very particular about the methods
they use.
Our democratic friends tre propos
ing to enlarge the Nebraska delegation
to Denver by doubling the number of
delegates and giving each half a vote
In order to take care of all the patriots
who want reserved seats on the con
vention hall floor. When the timo
comes, however, the delegation will be
made up according to specifications
laid down by Colonel Bryan and the
distribution of Nebraska's quota of
tickets to the galleries will be In the
hands of His Honor, Mayor "Jim," na
tional committeeman and member of
the committee on arrangements.
The World-Herald has discovered
that Governor Sheldon has proved 1 a
broken reed" as aVeform leader. The
people of Nebraska, excepting only
those chronics blinded with partisan
ship who can never see anything good
In anyone outside of their own polit
ical faith, are only sorry that they
have not a few more such "broken
reeds" to give them straightforward,
honest management of public affairs.
Some people go on the theory that a
lie stuck to Is better than the truth
That seems to be the established rule
with the local democratic organ. Its
persistent revamping of the exposed
fake about a deal two years ago to en
list the support of the brewers behind
Governor Sheldon Is simply part and
parcel of the campaign of falsehood
and fiction regularly put up by the
democratic fake mill.
Lincoln is trying very hard to make
the interior cities believe that their in
terests are all Identical with Its Inter
ests in every railroad rate controversy.
Should any of these Interior cities ask
for the same privilege of Missouri
river rates on interstate shipments en
joyed by Lincoln it would soon dis
cover the difference.
All the railroads that traverse the
corn belt are Interested In improving
the quantity and the quality of the
corn yield. It goes without Baying
that they will be Interested In helping
to make the 'National Corn show,
which has the same purpose, a big suc
cess.
They are poking fun at Charley
Schwab because he wore a white neck
tie in London. It Is the dream of
every PIttsburgher to get to some place
where it is safe to wear a white neck
tie without the protection of a smoke
shield.
Mr. Hearst's proposed election of
federal judges is nothing new. It was
advocated by Mr. Bryan even before he
was nominated for president in 1896,
but that is also one of the many "para
mount Issues" which he has postponed.
Governor Johnson of Minnesota In
sists that he Is not a candidate for the
presidential nomination. This, how
ever, does not prevent him from mak
ing a noise like a man tn a receptive
mood.

According to Consul Ovncral Richard
Guenther of Frankfort, German paper
etste that In Ocrmsny wind motors an
power generators for use In agricultural
and Industrial pursuits are rarely xntt with
but that In Denmark their use has In
rressea very greatly. The consul general
continues: "Plnce 1R!7 the Danish gnvern
ment na contributed about t?J,0(X) for
equipments and has even lately erected on
experimental station at Askoc. A tech
nical writer describes these experiments,
which were made on the initiative of the
Danish government and also some of the
electric works In Denmark which generate
electricity by means of wind motors, Ae
cording to his statement, motors with f 5ur
wings have given the best results, as a
smaller number of wings do not fully
utilize the wind power, while a large num
ber acts detrimentally on the wind current
oeiween tne wings. If a medium large
wind motor Is used with a wing surface of
about forty-eight square meters (one
square meter 10.7G4 square fet), eight
horsepower Is obtained at a wind velocity
ot Bl meters a second (one meter 12$ ut)
At a velocity of eia-ht meters tho hnr..
power Is more than doubled. A wind wth
a velocity of eight meters a second Is no
rarity. The Weather reports, classify it
as No. 3, whllo tho highest wind velocity
Is No. 11 Since J903 there has been In ex
istence the Danish Electricity conmany.
from whose real on s agitation thirty larger
and smaller wind power electrical equip
ments are in operation throughout Den
mark."
Prof. Koch, during his recent visit to
London, talked In an Interesting way with
reporters concerning his investigation of
the South African sleeping sickness. Among
other things ho said: "My personal opin
ion Is that patients In the first stage of
sleeping sickness freshly Infected cases
have been cured by atoxyl. During my
work on the Sesso Islands I had many
fresh cases in my hands. Many seemed to
be cured. I know that there are some au
thorities who say that atoxyl will not ef
fect a cure, but I believe their views are
based on the results of cases which have
been treated too late. Atoxyl Is a very val
uable remedy. I have never claimed that
it is Infallible, but I do say that very much
good will be occasioned by. Its use In the
first stage of the disease. In the late
stages good results will not be obtained.
Atoxyl not only does what Is claimed for
It namely, to free the blood temporarily
from tryphanosomata; It also cures. The
suggestion that the sleeping sickness flv
lives almost solely on the. blood of croco
diles Is only a secondary one. My Investi
gations showed that the tsetse fly feeds es
pecially, if not ulways, upon crocodiles. I
found In tho stomachs of these flies croco
diled blood and therefore concluded that
the Insects live on crocodiles. As bearing
on this I may refer to experiments In the
Transvaal and Natal with regard to the
tsetse fly. Tho Boers say, and It was
everywhere confirmed, that the tsetse fly
sucks the blond of big game. When the
big game whs destroyed the fly disap
peared and the disease disappeared, too,
Nearly the same conditions prevail In re.
gard to the tsetse fly and sleeping sickness
fly. If we can destroy the crocodiles the
fly will disappear.

x iui. juimugnoii, oi uoiogna, who was
born blind, but despite his great infirmity
was graduated from the university with

beauty of the great edifice. In speaking
of his description a German naner vi
"One sees by his words what spiritual, aes
thetic and moral compensation fell to the
lot of the writer to lessen his affliction.
Ha describes the sensation of awe which
takes possession of him when he stands
before the two great fountains and "sees
the bright sunlight piny upon the sparkling
water and upon the obelisk In the center
of the St. Peter's place. But when he
finally reaches the facade of the great
dome with the "majestic prosiect" befora
him, he says: "I stood above the city, on
a point so lofty that from it one might well

Tho burden imposed upon French manu
facturers by the law passed In 1898 pro
vidlng for compensations to Injured work.
men has proved so heavy that an attempt
was recently made In the senate to lessen
it. Owing to the opposition of the govern
ment, however, the tax upon employers
was maintained, the minister of lub-r, M.
Vivlanl, declaring that owing to the ex
tension of the act of 1898 to emplovees In
commercial houses it was necessary to
maintain the guaranty fund. He inti
mated, however, that It might be possible
to make concessions In the near future.
Meanwhile there is a rapidly growing move
ment among French employers of all cate
gories for the lofenco of their common In
terests aga'nst the encroachments of social
istic legislation. The senate is one of their
natural strongholds, owing to Its constitu
tion and mode of election, but manufact
urers, merchants, and others no longer
eonfine their efforts to exercising Influence
on members of the legislature. They havo
begun to meet the socialists on their own
ground by promoting Joint action between
masters and men on the basis of mutual In
terests, as by organlilng for the purpose
of common defence. An interestJng devel
opment Is the attempt to found what Is
called a "commercial parliament," whose
first sitting has been held already in Paris.
Its object is to provide for the better rep
resentation of commercial and Industrial
interests In the legisluture and to study all
bills affecting those interests. Perhaps It
would not be quite fair to call It a lobby.

thut competition regulates production, but
it seems that In France and Italy low
prices and a diminishing market for
products do not have tho effect which

growers go on year after year Increasing
their output, unmindful of the fact that
brick vineyards are multiplying on the face
of the eerth, and that the people who
would like to drink good wine are coaaing
to use what passes as such because they
I'.ave doubts about Its purity. Under the
circumstances It Is not surprising that tho

In Europe are In a constant state of uneasi
