New York women object to the plan of separate subway cars for women. If the womans' car Is crowded who is going to get up and let the late arrival have a seat? If all of the senators have their way the tariff bill will need an introduc tion to its parents when finally passed. But all of the proposed changes are not made yet.

Its inhabitants as .Is their own Individual good reputations. It is Just as Important for a city to es tablish and maintain a good name aa It Is for each and every person to have a good name among his fellows. Not long ago The Dee exposed the folly of Omaha and Douglas county permitting themselves to be misrep resented in the late democratic legis lature by a delegation made tip of crooks, grafters, Incompetents, cor poration cappers and coarse rousta bouts. Our people have been devoting time, effort and money, year In and year out, to cement friendly relations with the cities and towns in tributary trade territory and to make Omaha stand for the best In business, art and culture, and then suffered its reputa tion to be immeasurably damaged by the disgusting performances of Its law makers at Lincoln. The injury to Omaha's good name and the antagonism and prejudice cre ated by the bunch sent to the legisla ture simply capped the climax of the Ill-repute brought down upon Omaha since our city hall was turned over to the cowboy mayor and "his democratic retinue. The legislative gang had only three months in which to do their damaging work, while Mayor Jim has been holding Omaha up to ridicule, scorn and odium for three years and Is asking for three yews more. In the three years that "Jim" has held the whip band Omaha's name has been almost a by-word from one end of the country to the other. Omaha has been relegated to the cowboy class of frontier towns and advertised far and wide as if our people were all of the cowboy variety. Our cowboy mayor labors under the delusion that notoriety Is fame and that If he can only make Omaha talked about it mat ters not what shameful things may be said of it. The people of Omaha have a chance to restore Omaha's good name by rele gating their cowboy mayor to private life. Three years of a broncho-busting, poker-playing, confidence-game administration of city afflalrs ought to be burden enough for Omaha to bear without a self-inflicted repetition of the dose. William M. Stewart. With the death of former Senator William M. Stewart of Nevada, passes the last of the mining kings of the early days In the west. In every sense of the term Mr. Stewart was a notable figure, physically, his kindly face, and patriarchal ( beard made him a typical Santa Claus. Mentally his equipment was of the highest order and with the single exception of his colleague, Sena tor John P. Jones, he was the ablest of the free silver advocates. With all of his kindly disposition he was en dowed with a physical courage, which made hlnl equal to the emergencies of those wild days in the far western mining camps. During his career Senator Stewart made and lost several fortunes and at the time of his retirement from tha senate it was announced that he was almost poverty-stricken. Despite his years, with true western courage, he set about the rehabilitation of his for tunes and though it is not thought his wealth now mounts Into the millions, as it once did, he died more than com fortably well fixed, his intimate knowl edge in mining having enabled him to profit by the later discoveries in his home state. The late Senator Stewart was a type of a man which the conditions surrounding him in his younger days inevitably brought to the front, and with others of his class, left an in delible imprint on the atairs of tha Pacific slope. They did their work well In their day and It has been given to him to survive longer than his compatriots, and witness a fuller fruiting of the empire which was builded upon their faith and struggles. Excuses for Crime. Ever since Adam entered, the plea that Eve tempted him, man has been prolific In excuses tor his misdeeds and the records of the courts would indicate that human ingenuity had about exhausted itself In this direc tion. It is so much easier to shift the blame on someone else than to shoul der it yourself and suffer the con sequences. Men and women whose sanity had never been questioned, sud denly discover, with the aid of an at torney, that they have been insane for j cars, when their passions lead them Into collision with the law. The science of heredity is appealed to and the dead are besmirched to find a loophole through which the living may escape punishment. One of the latest developments of the prevailing legal-medico fads is the defense of a man of hitherto high standing In Atlanta, who was detected at stealing and pleaded that a blow on the head received years before had made him a thief. No matter how ab surd the excuse learned men can al ways be found who will go on the wit ness stand and back up the case with the weight of their opinion. The frequent acquittals on such de fenses, of men whose criminal acts are clearly proven, raises the question If the law is not going a little too far In this respect and whether the public U not entitled to some protection. Ad mitting that men who have really suf fered a mental lapse should not be punished ss responsible criminals, it does not dispose of the proposition that society needs protection from their Irresponsible vagaries or out bursts of violence. If there were a certainty of incarceration In soma In stitution where they could be cared for as mental Irresponsible, would such pleas be made so frequently? If to the certainty of such retirement, were added the assurance that they would not be released as soon as the occur rence had ceased to be a subject of public ' discussion, there Is good ground for belief that more criminal cases would be tried on the real evi dence of guilt or innocence. ' Uniform Legislation, That the demand for uniformity of state legislation, affecting conditions of business that cut across state lines, is not confined to one section. Is made manifest by tha report Just made to the governor of Connecticut by a commission appointed to promote legislative uniformity. The commission notes that Con necticut has enacted a warehouse re ceipt law, Intended to make uniform throughout the union the legal limi tations of the transfer of personal property, this law having been formu lated and recommended by the general conference on uniform state laws and passed now In fourteen different states. Another law, which is also the work of the national conference on uniform laws, relates to negotiable in struments and has been put on the statute books In thirty-two states, two territories and the District of Colum bia. The enumeration of the states which have adopted the negotiable in struments' act, includes Nebraska, al though tha list of those that have passed the warehouse receipts' act does not include this state. . The other subjects, which the com mission Is pressing for uniform ac tion on the part of the states Include a law governing the transfer of cer tificates of corporate stock, a law con cerning bills of lading and a law gov erning partnerships. The report of the Connecticut commission goes on to say: The growing strength of this movement and the constantly increasing number of states which have adopted lawa recom mended by the conference makea It prob able that within a few yeara the law gov erning these matters will be the same everywhere within the territory of the United States, and that this extremely de sirable result will be brought about with out the Interference of the central govern ment solely by the exercise of legislative comity between the various units which constitute the nation. We regret that Nebraska cannot give as good a report to the next con ference on uniform legislation as does Connecticut. The members of our late legislature, unfortunately, could not get it through their heads that uniformity with other states in the matter of laws affecting business is desirable, and that the state which deliberately puts itself out of line with other states really injures Its own peo ple and its own business Interests. The movement for uniform state legis lation, however, is in its Infancy and we may hope that our Nebraska law makers of the future will be more deeply Impressed by it and more dis posed to co-operate with it. What it Costs to Lire. . Under the auspices of the Sage foundation. Prof. Colt Chapin of Be- lolt college has been conducting some investigations of what it costs the laborlngman to live in New York. A careful survey discloses that with a family of five on $900 per year, a de cent living is possible, but little mar gin remains for recreation or mis fortune. Any income below this, the professor finds, means that the fam ily must reduce Its scale of living be low what in New York is termed "de cent." It these conclusions are correct, and there appears to be no reason to ques tion them, a serious sociological prob lem is presented, so far at least, as the metropolis is concerned. It does not require further investigation to tell that there are thousands of families in New York which do not have that amount to live upon. Any scale of liv ing below what may be termed "de cent," means an impairment of both the mental and physical fabric. The investigation shows that nearly half the total income of those receiv ing $900 goes for food, the next larg est item being rent. In those of smaller Incomes the percentage paid for rent runs as high as 27 per cent of the total. What is true of New York .is true, in a. probably lesser extent, of other American cities. The demand, however, is every where for cheaper rents and cheaper living expenses, yet how to cheapen them is the serious problem. Cheaper provisions can only come through les sening the toll between the producer and the consumer, for supply and de mand are governed by inexorable laws which fix other elements of the price. Women and Immoral Flays. Under the lead of the Women's clubs the women of New York and other eastern cities are starting a cru sade against Immoral plays. If the Immoral play is to be abolished the start is being roado in the right place and by the right people. New York is the birthplace of the country's drama and no considerable number of plays are put on which are not orig inally produced there. That the women can solve the prob lem if they will la brought home to everyone who has observed the aver age theater audiences. Almost with out exception they contain more women than men. Eliminate the women and the men who are there aa escorts of women and little would remain. The count of cash In the box office would not reveal enough to enable the ghost to stalk if the patronage of men alone wese depended upon. If women should cease to attend Im moral plays and those of immoral tendencies managers would cease to produce them. Acting Is an art and actors many times rise above tha sor did view of whether ono production will net as large financial return as another. The manager who furnishes the money Is a business man rind Is taking only the business man's chance. If he knows In advance that the women will not patronize- a plsy there is not one chance In a thousand of Its ever seeing the light of day. If the women banish the so-called high art Immorality by ceasing to pa tronize it on the stage the law will soon put an end to the low and vicious and the immoral play will be a thing of the past. Only bo long as the box office index shows that suggestive shows bring the greatest returns, Just so long will the managers feed the public upon them. Get the Garden Hahit. In these days when the cost of liv ing Is mounting up until the problem of making the income account balance the needs of, the family, is a good time to turn for relief to the back yard garden. The amount which can be raised on a small plot of ground well tilled Is astonishing and the utilization of these patches, which are lying idle, may be a big factor in solving the economic problem of the home. , A growing tomato vine is much more of an ornament than an empty tomato can in the back yard, and a blister on your hand resulting from gripping a hoehandle much to be preferred to a glassy spot on the seat of your trous ers due to constant contact with a porch chair. A melted down collar due to eradicating parsley is no more diffi cult to launder than one rendered un serviceable playing one-old-cat with the boy and It will produce a whole lot more for the family table. The backyard bean and spud are gold mines on a small scale, which are more certain to render dividends than the kind which gives back nothing but a gilded certificate whose only purpose Is to remind you In subse quent years that a chump and his money had been parted. Beautifying the National Capital. The latest scheme for beautifying the city of Washington and at the same time serving a useful purpose Is to form, out of one of the streets leading from the capltol, an avenue of the presidents and vice presidents. The plan is to start with a statue of Washington and, In regular order down the avenue, place the statues of the successors of the first chief executive. American) cities, owing to their com parative youth, are far behind those of the old world in ornate adornment. From the nature of things the beauti ful has been too often forgotten or pushed aside for the practical, but In Washington, the capital of the nation, a good start has been made on the road to civic beautlflcation. In many places rise monuments to the great men of our history and among them many of the- presidents, but the pres ent proposal adds to the idea of civic beauty that of historical value. Only a small portion or the people of tne United States ever see the capital city, but the man who Is so devoid of na tional pride as not to desire to have it made one of the grandest and most beautiful capitals of the world, Is not worthy of the citizenship which is his heritage. Value of Peace and Order. Peace and order have a commercial as well as a sentimental and moral value. In illustration the republic of San Domingo was tor years racked by discord and petty wars and plundered by first one despot and then another. The result was a burden of national debt and a people surrounded by most bountiful natural resources were pau perized and the national treasury bankrupt. So insistent did foreign creditors become and so Intolerable the conditions that the United States, to prevent some European nation step ping In, Intervened, and officials from this country undertook the task bf the fiscal administration. The warring factions were told to cease their fight ing and go to work; since which time peace and order have prevailed In San Domingo. What these conditions have wrought are a most powerful argument lor good government. The honest admin istration of the revenues of the coun try have enabled it to make a substan tial reduction in the principal as well as meeting the Interest on the public debt, which before was in default. In commerce the results are no less gratifying. In 1905, when the United States took charge, the imports were $2,736,828. and in 1908 they were $5,127,463. The exports in 1905 they were $6,86,344, ana in ius were $9,486,344. The Internal merce of the country shows a paratlvely large Increase, for stability allows the producer and the trades- All Would Be Chaos Were Mortal Not Proud. Written by Andrew Rosewater when a young man as an answer to Abra ham Lincoln's favorite poem, "Why Should the Siiliil of Mortal be Proud?" The course of man's life from cradle to shroud Would be aimless and hopeless If man were not proud. Doomed to like fate, by like trials tried, All would be chaos were man without pride. Like a rudderless ship, like the beasts of the field, All would be chaos, If man's pride were to yield. His noblest ideals forever be lost On 6eas' highest waves ships of state would be tossed, Love's passion were lust, man's progress a cloud. All would be chaos were mortal not proud. 1 Proud of bis birthright of body and brain. Conquering more and more nature's domain, Iet him ever be proud, though mortal he be, Since ha masters the earth, the sky and the sea. Tho' death be his portion and dust be his lot. His greatest achievements destroyed and forgot, Not alone for himself though he knows he must die. He builds for the good of humanity. Not proud of his wealth, bnt his actions and aim Goaded by pride to win glory and fame. ninn to hope that he will reap the re ward of his labor. The large number of nonproduclng adventurers who Joined first one revolutionary force and then another, as opportunity for plunder offered, have been forced to Join the army of producers Instead of destroyers. Where once there was desolation there Is prosperity and con tentment. The role of peacemaker Is pleasant and profitable to all concerned, where the peacemaker Is big enough to com mand obedience.

The decision of a Nevada Judge that a divorce can be obtained In that state only by an applicant who has established a bona flda residence may help to break up the pernicious practice of colonization there for divorce purposes.

Persons Socially "High ln" Involved la SiiiukkIIiik Operations. Kansas City Journal. The recent discovery that the govern ment had been defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars In duties on goeds smuggled Into this country from Krance Is followed by the announcement that tr" disclosures involve persons high up In the social world nad that therefore there Is a disposition to move slowly In the work of punishing the guilty. In the nature of tilings, importers of costly articles do not belong to the proletariat. The average day laborer Is not the most liberal or most constant patron of the diamond merchant, the art dealer or the vendor of rare Jewels. But the amugglers, who are able to expend thousands of dollars for foreign 'made gowns and other luxuries, are also able to pay the duty thereon, and they Hhould be made to do so. It is one of the scandalous anomalies of the day that secret service agents must follow rich Americana over Knrope and keep cloae watch on what they buy, In order tbt-t the goxernmcnt may not he cheati-d out of Its Just dues by many of them. Thero seems to be a fascination about the evasion of customs duties which many! people of we:ilth are unable to resist, though It would he manifestly unfair to say that this Is a gi-neral crime. Human nature as! It is constituted at the present writing lm- pels people, often Irresistibly, to expend vastly more Ingenuity and effort In getting something (or as nearly nothing as possi ble than would be required to honestly earn the difference.
