propositions at a special election which

O'clock In the rnornlng and 6 o'clock
In the evening.
The court bouse bond proposition
will be roted on throughout tne
county. It prOTldes authority to ieaue
11,000,000 in bonds to build ft new
court house and Jail on the olte ot the
present outgrown buildings. The con
ditions of tho proposition are such that
tha hands mav be gradually raid off
n that the tat burden for Interest and
Inking fund will bo ocftrcely apprecia
ble. The necessity of new and ade
quate facilities for the transaction of
county business, for the 'accommoda
tion of the courto, particularly the Ju
venile court, and for taking care of
county Jail prisoners hao been forcibly
brought home by recent grand Jury re
ports. Another feature of the pro
posed new court house which should
not be forgotten lo this, that Omaha's
notable progress In the line of new
buildings has been chiefly manifested
by private enterprise which hao how
approached !to limits so that the erec
tion of a needed public building like
this will alone prevent a check to the
march of building improvement.
Omaha voters will also have two
other bond propositions before them
one for 150,000 of street intersection
paving bonds and another for $50,000
of park Improvement bonds. - Both
these Issues of bonds are substantially
the same inasmuch as the Park board
Is on record to devote the 'proceeds of
the park bonds to paving intersections
of streets and boulevards, and the
streets and approaches of the parks.
Both these propositions, therefore, are
to promote city improvements, and
with them will go ft large amount of
other improvement projects to be paid
for by special assessments against the
benefited property owners.
As some of these bonds require a
two-thirds majority of all votes cast,
and everyone knows that there are
chronic obstructionists who always
vote against all bonds, it behooves all
public-spirited and progressive citizens
to go to tho polls and vote "Yes" for
public Improvements and a Greater
Omaha.
HADLET OF MISSOURI,
More than local political significance
Is found in the. final decision of Attor
ney General HadIey.of Missouri to
stand for governor of Missouri on the
republican ticket. The announcement
Is particularly cheering to the Missouri
republicans and will be pleasant news
to the republicans and friends of good
government everywhere who have be
come familiar, with Mr. Hadley's serv
ice to his state as attorney general.
Some time ago Mr. Hadley announced
that on account ot 111-nea'lth he would
have to retire from public life at the
close of his present term of office. In
reconsidering his decision he states
that almost as many democrats as re
publicans have been urging - him to
make the race.
As attorney general of Missouri Mr.
Hadley has made ft national reputation
by his part in trust prosecutions and
railway rate cases that wero tested in
the Higher courts. Even - the oppo
nents of the law, the railroad corpora
tions and other large concerns admit
thtt Mr. Hadley made, no effort to
manufacture political campaign ma
terial out of the litigations, but de
voted himself entirely to the duties of
his office as saw them and fought fair
in tho courts.
The most encouraging feature of the
situation Is the assurance that there
will be no party opposition t Mr, Had
ley. Heretofore the Missouri repub
licans have been more or lees divided
into factions, but they are ft unit for
Hadley'o nomination, and now that he
haa agreed to make the race, no other
name wfll be presented at the prima
ries in August.' His candidacy will
have a disheartening effect upon the
democrats and will make '."Missouri
more than ever dehatablr ground in
the national contest. The .republicans
now have control of the legislature and
all the state officers,' with the exception
of governor, are republicans. The
democrats, on the other hand, have a
bitter factional fight on between Gov
ernof Polk and United States Senator
"Gum Shoe Bill" Stone.; Vlth Mr.
Hadley as the party's standard bearer
there is a most encouraging, prospect
that Missouri will be again taken out
of tho democratic column at the com
ing presidential election. '
A BLOW AT GHA1X lyTERISTS.
-The demand on railroads and bank
ing Interests for a good many years
for a uniform bill ot lading will doubt
leaa receive ft strong Impetus by the
action of the Chicago bankers, who
have declared their intention to loan
no more money on bills ot lading as
collateral for advancea on grain ship
ments by water, or by water and rail.
The objections of the bankers apvea
to bo based on a technicality, involving
ft clause which permits the delivery of
grain to an agent.
The bills of lading now used by the
water and rail transportation com
panies are made out "to order" and
contain the name of tho conalgnee, but
they also indicate an agent to whom
the grain may be turned over, either
for transshipment or other purpose at
some istormedlato point. The bank
ers assert that they do not regard bills
of this character as affording reasona
ble- security for tho money advanced
While aomo merit may. attach to this
contention, it is more probable that
tho chief objection is to inroads made
by other cities on tho grain trade of
rhlch Chicago formerly held undis
puted monopoly. Enforcement of the
new rule proposed by the Chicago
bankers would force grain shipments
direct to Chicago, If the money ad
vanced came from that city, regardless
of better markets that might, at the
time of delivery, be offered at other
cities. '
The shippers insist that the existing
system affords every reasonable pro
tection to bankers for money advanced
on grain shipments and challenge the
bankers to prove the contrary by ft
showing of any' losses they have sus
tained. The part played by the bank
ers in advancing money on grain ship
ments lo highly important to the grain
growers and dealera and has been,
without doubt, ft source of profit to all
concerned. At this time, when every
thing possible should be done to en
courage traffic, in the Interests of the
grain men as well as the bankers,
It Is unfortunate that the bankers
should suddenly discover a technicality
in the bills of lading that should make
them overcautious.
The producer, as usual, roust bear
the burden of this new complication,
although in no way responsible for it.
The situation emphasizes the need of
a uniform bill of lading In which the
rights of the shipper, the transporta
tion company and the bank are alike
properly safeguarded.
' OKLAHOMA'S VilREST.
Not satisfied with having adopted
one of the most fearfully and wonder
fully framed state constitutions ever
framed for tho guidance of a people,
Oklahoma has now set about to have
the federal constitution revised and
adapted to its wishes. Forty-five
other states have been worrying along
with more or less success and satisfac
tion with the document prepared by
the founders of the republic, .but it
does not suit Oklahoma a little bit and
the authorities of the state have
started a campaign for immediate and
complete revision of the fundamental
law of the land. The state shows
symptoms of refusing to be happy un
til it gets what it wants.
Governor Charles N. Haskell has
sought to emphasize the importance of
this crusade by declaring May 7 a state
holiday in Oklahoma and, In a public
proclamation, advises:
That with the auapenaion of all lea-al
bustneas our people may assemble and con
fer together, I urge that all advocates of
good government
The farmers. In their lodge rooms.
The commercial cluba In their halls.
The laborers In their unions.
All societies, for the promotion of morals
and Intelligence.
All you who believe that the laborer Is
wprhy of hla hire; that the home la sacred
and domestic happiness should be promoted,
May so assemble and adopt resolutions
demanding your congressmen and senators'
support of these five amendments to the
constltut'on. and before you rest mail your
resolution to Washington.
Go after reforms In a practical manner-
all promise and no results discredit your
sincerity.
Your duty done, let us pray that beyond
our own small state (weak, alone In this
fight for good government) that our aister
states throughout the union may add their,
power.
t.et us hope that from ocean to ocean
the voice of such people assembled In every
community, in every state, may add Its
command.
Governor Haskell, with all the zeal
of the new convert, has keen disap
pointment in store if he expects imme
diate results from his crusade. It Is too
frequently popular for politicians to
gain applause by picking flaws in the
federal constitution and picturing the
glorious era that would follow its re
peal. In point of historic fact, how
ever, the constitution has been
amended but twice in a century, and
It took a civil war to accomplish that
result. The governor will find no
war whoop from Oklahoma terrifying
enough to drive congress and the state
legislatures to hasty action on his
recommendations. The' constitution,
while it. may be a little aged, is still
in a state of remarkable preservation
considering Its years and the knocks
it has had to withstand.
Colonel Bryan la said to have turned
down a proffered presidential nomina
tion tendered htm by the United Chris
tian party, explaining that if he la to
be a candidate at all he will bo the
candidate ot tho democratic party and
hla platform will be the platform
adopted at Denver. Had the Bryan
ites only controlled the populist na
tional convention at St. Louis Mr.
Bryan might have sta'rted out as a pop
ulist nominee, and it is hardly con
ceivable that he-would have refused
the populist endorsement after having
run as a populist nominee twice
before..
Over in Iowa the democrats are up
to their old game of fixing up a slate
for primary nominations in order to
be free to dip in on the republican aide
and endeavor to prevent the repub
licans from selecting their strongest
men. This is likewise the program
for Nebraska, where the democratic
leaders expect to name the ticket in
advance of the primaries without wait
ing for the aid or consent of the demo
cratic rank and file. With the object
lesson set by the Iowa democrats be
fore them, the Nebraska republicans
should bo forewarned.
The bear barbecue to which the
Dablman Democracy was looking for

"Has any other man the firmness.

Tho republican voters in most of tho

tion In the affirmative and picked Mr.
Taft for the task.
If Edgar Howard is willing to accept
the democratic nomination for con
gress In the Third district he certainly
ought to have it. As the editor of an
outspoken democratic 'paper he has
been a hewer of wood and a drawer of
water for the party week in and week
out from time immemorial.' If party
service counts for anything in the dis
tribution of bouquets he ought to have
the recognition, even though he Is not
able to send bis card of announcement
to all the democratic papers in his dis
trict with a five-dollar' remittance.

William H. Taft picks, out Bryan and

the. Issue. Conventions make one and
events the other. Tha republicans hoped
to fight the 1896 battle on the tariff ques

It. No one can yet safely predict the real
Issue of 19C8. That Bryan will be the oppo

TAFT AND ORGANIZED LABOR.
Decisions front Federal , Bearh that
Are Labor's Balntrkt,
William Allen White In American Magazine
Three times In his Judicial career was
Judge Taft compelled by the evidence and
the law to decide against organised labor.
Ana not once did he flinch. He Is an am
bitious man. That Is written big In hla
race, but courage la written stronger not
mere phyaical courage, but that fine, In
domitable, spiritual thing that stamps i
face with an eradlcable dye moral cour
age. And so, as he sat on the bench glory
ing In his strength and Joyous at his work.
cheerful, simple and glad o. the blessing
of life, the white sparks flashed out under
the hammer and anvil of fate and clrctun
stances, and the man was made good good
for higher thinga. And by the mysterious
equation of justice that runs through this
life, that decision against fhelan In the
labor strike of 1894 was used in another
federal court nine years later to defend
labor in another strike, and so Just and
fair and reasonable was It that foday at-
terneys for labor unions quote It In the
defense of their cllants In ordering peace
ful, necessary atrikea for higher wages
Labor haa advanced In a dozen yeara ao
that the Taft decisions, made In the fear
of Ood and In righteous wrath against the
Injustice of a bygone day. now are the
bulwarks of labor in Ha fight for better
wages and more equitable treatment. For
the Taft decisions set In the law of the
land the right to strike, the right to have
union officials heard In the settlement of
differences and the right to compel mem
bers of unions to obey any reasonable or
ders from the head of the union. Freder
ick N. Judson of St. Louis, attorney for
the railroad brotherhoods In the famous
Wabash case, lias written: "There la no
foundation for the suggestion that the de
clslons of Judge i(t were in any sense
unfriendly to labor." And auch Is the luck
of those who order their Uvea In the be
lief that 'there la ft righteous purpose gov
erning this universe, that before he left
the bench Judge Taft had the opportunity
to prove hla sympathy with the contest
of the .average man against combined
greed, and to prove It In a, way that left
no doubt of his sincerity. For It was
Judge Taft'a opinion In the Addyston Pipe
and Steel company care that sustained
and revived the Sherman anti-trust law,
which, since Its passage In the '80s, haJ
been almost a dead letter upon the
statutes.
In affirming Judge Taft'a decision up
holding the Sherman law, the United States
supreme court paid him the compliment
or transcribing Ms decision In the higher
court's own opinion, thus making the Taft
decision the adjudged law of the land. It
in upon this opinion that the supreme
court rested In deciding the famous North
ern Securities merger cases fur the people,
and upon that decision much of recent
litigation brought' by the government for
the people against so-called trusts and com
binations In restraint of trade haa been

faith In the ultimate Justice or things In

An enterprising New Tork barber believ
ing a "No Tip" shop would be an attraction-
for people willing to pay the price and
no more, fitted up a "tonsorial parlor'"
and Invited all those opposed to the tipping
evil to come and get scrsped. He Is said
to have put l-T.0nft In making the "psHor"
first-class. But the bargain rush of busi
ness failed to show trp. The employee didn't
get to see the color of a gatlntans dime,
but they did not repine In the shop. Out
side they had friends of the cause, who
worked overtime In "knocking" the shop
and its owner, macklng the unskillful work
of the men and Jeering the ecenomlcal
stunts of the shop. For nearly a year the
shop. In striving to save money for Its
patrons, lost money momth after month.
On the fh-st.of May "No Tip" signs were
taken down, , and the announcement was
made that customers may tip barbers as
often as they please. Since then outside
knockers have become boosters and business
has picked up amazingly.
Before sailing for Kurope recently, Ir.
Baumfleld, the manflgerof the new Herman
theater which Is being built in Madison
avenue, showed to some friends the model
of the automatic wardrobe which will be
one of the features of the new theater. Two
rooms, one for men and one for women, will
be fitted with rows of narrow, high closets.
The doors will be open when the audience
assembles. By dropping a 5-cent piece Into
a slot the key can be removed. The holder
of tho key may then place hla coat, hat,
overshoes, umbrella, etc.. in the closet and
lock It. "For 5 cents," said Dr. Baumfleld,
"one may get rid of heavy wraps, dripping
umbrellas, etc, and women will not be com
pelled to pin their hats on the barks of
seats, to have them brushed off or crumpled
by late comers. There will be no standing
In line waiting to be served by an over
worked cloakroom attendant, because every
man or woman, for that matter will have
charga of his own belongings."
Mrs. Florence Nodcll told Magistrate
Furlong In the Iee avenue (Brooklyn)
police court that she is not superstitious,
but she does believe In dreams, especially
when her husband 'murmurs the nameof
another woman In his sleep.
'When he threw his arms around mo one
night and put his lips close to my ear and
said, 'On, Cissie, dear, I love you you
know I love you:' I knew exactly what to
think and I know the woman, too," she
said.
William Nodell, who Is an electrician and
student at the Polytechnic Institute, de
nied the charge of, abandonment and non-
support made by his wife.
T had been out to a little party the
night she is talking about. Judge," he said.
'and I had had a couple of Welsh rabbfte,
but I didn't say anything about Cissie."
vyes, he did," contradicted Mrs. Nodell.
I was wakened by tho baby and aa I
started to get up he grabbed be and began
talking.
'I have been doing all the housework
and washing and Ironing for his family,
and he never gave me any money, but I
could have stood for It all if It hadn't been
for this 'Cissie' business.
'He kept on talking In his sleep, and I
kept perfectly qniet. 'I'm In lots of trouble,
'Cissie,' he says. 'I like my wife, but not
the way I like you, dear. Oh, you don't
know all about my trouble."
'I thought I'd lead him on, and I said,
'Oh, yes, I know all about your trouble."
but that woke him up and I accused htm of
it. He Just laughed and told me I had been
dreaming. But I know this woman. She's
a school teacher, end she visits his folks."
"You people go home, and make It up."
said the magistrate, "and vou, Nodell, pay
your wife $3.50 a week. But IT advise you
not to have any more dreams."
Once In a while we meet an honest man
In our business," said a New York haber
dasher. "But I find there are several de
grees of honesty and several reasons for
honesty. See that fellow over thereT Well
he Just brought back these shirts (counting
four of them.) He told me he bought but
one shirt, and when he arrived home he
found four In the package. That doesn't
sound right to me I told him. "You're tho
first honest man I have met In some time.
But It's all right." the customer said.
You see," he explained, 'the four shirts
do not fit me and I would rather have one
that will " The customer got his shirt
and the proprietor Is still looking for the
honest man he thought he had found.

The sending out of a few millona of gold
last week did not cause a ripple on the

in this country at the rate of about to.OCO.'jOQ
a month and we have a larger gold sup
ply In stock than any other country In the
world.

Prosperity of Farm Shown In Vehicle
Styles.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The note of prosperity is very marked In
the farm regions of the west, a fact which
goes to Illustrate how largely the ma
terial welfare of the nation rests upon
agriculture. The nevvpapers of the great
agricultural states of the west report that
the farmers have money In hand, and read
with amaxement the atory - of lingering
panic conditions In the east. We are told
that states which were formerly large A
rowers of eastern money no longer need
a licit help. It Is also related to what an
extent luxuries have become a common
place in the homes of the farmers. A
newspaper In the interior of Missouri thus
contrasts the old days with the new:
"Thirty years ago one of the old-fashioned
steel-wire spring wagons was a luxury. In
a funeral processslon a mile long you
would see perhaps two or three of them.
Everybody rodo In farm wagons. Twenty
years asco a top buggy was a rich man's
good fortune, and but few of thoin wen
seen. Today a top buggy with a rubber
tire Is as common aa a democrat 1n Texas.
Anybody and everybody has them. A farm
wagon in a funeral procession would be a
novelty. .The upper ten ride In automo
biles and they are fast getting to be common."
