Mr. Tift' Weitem Trip.
According to Washington advices the
unfortunate illness of Mrs. Taft threat
ens to delay If not prevent the con
templated trip of the. president to the
west in August or September. Mr. Taft
has explained to western senators that
he has abandoned the Alaskan- visit,
but still hopes to go to the Seattie ex
position and make some stops en
route.
The entire west desires to see Mr.
Taft and tie would he the gainer by
contact with our people. Western rep
resentatives should urge upon htm the
Importance of adhering to former
plans at least to the exttnt of going to
Seattle and making the Intermediate
stops. The west Is an unswerving sup
porter of the president's progressive
policies and personal contact would be
a sustaining force to him and An In
spiration to western people. The dally
press tells of affairs at the nation's
capital, but there is nothing like per
sonal association to hold people to
gether and spur then on to united ef
fort. Presidential visits bridge the
great distance to the White House and
bring the government nearer to the
people.
The west wants to see Mr. Taft be
caune It likes him and because he la
the president of the nation and if Mrs.
Taft recovers her health sufficiently
U will urge to the point of Insistence
that he come.
Growth of the Southwest.
Five million people In 1910" is the
slogan of Texas. The census of 1900
gave the state slightly over 3,000,000
and to reach this goal means a phe
nomenal growth, particularly when
the greater portion of It is in the agri
cultural sections. Texas is an empire
within Itself and was largely over
looked while settlers were pouring into
Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotaa and
the northwest. The rush to Oklahoma
carried the tide to the doors of Texas
and has now swept on over that state.
The Industrial movement to the older
southern states Is making a new land
n that section and the uplift has
reached Texas in recent years.
There were no freo public lands lu
Texas and this doubtless kept out
farm seekers until the freo homesteads
n other states were exhausted. Land
hunger, which has seized the people, -Is
Texas' opportunity and Is being util
ized to attract settlers. With an in
crease of 2,000,K)0 people in ten years
Texas will still have room for other
millions and It is an encouraging sign
that many w ho are going to help build
up the state come from the north. It
will tend to produce a more homo
geneous, nation and wipe- out sectional
differences. It would be a good thing
for the country if some of the farmers
who are going to Canada searching
for cheaper farms could see the op-
portunlties in their own land,' for we
can ill afford to lose the class which
is drifting across the border.
Report on Tobacco Trust.
The nrcliminarv report of the
bureau of corporations on the Amer
ican Tobacco company contains some
interesting Information, but read be
tween the lines. supports rumors
which lead to the conclusion it does
not tell all that the bureau has learned.
The Information submitted to con
gress discloses no ground for prosecu
tlons under the anti-trust law, al
though It la quite possible such facts
may have been submitted to the De
partment of Justice for verification
and action.
Investigation showB that the com
pany controls three-fourths of the to
bacco trade of the United States exclu
sive of cigars, and possesses a power
which might easily be abused. It is
shown, for example, that the repeal of
the war taxes on manufactured tobacco
Increased the net profits of the com
pany several million dollars, the gov
ernment abating Us revenue and the
consuming public being charged on the
old basis. It repealing the war taxes
served only to Increase the profits of
the big tobacco company congress may
turn that wav again for revenue to
wipe out a treasury deficit.
The most significant feature of the
report Is the entire absence of .com
ment on the metho-ls by which the
company has secured such a command
ing position in the tobacco trade. It
treats slightly on the colossal capital
isation, Indicating a belief that it is
not all legitimate. If prosecutions are
contemplated the features passed over
would be pertinent, consequently color
Is lent to rumors that the Department
of Justice Is contemplating some move
against the company.
MacVeagh on Taft.
Secretary of the Treasury Franklin
MacVeagh set forth in clear terms at
the Commercial club banquet in Chi
cago the policy of the Taft adminlstra
tion. He made it plain that the prin
cipal difference between the Taft and
Roosevelt administrations was of
methods and not of principles. To
quote his exact words, he said:
Aa to the Roosevelt policies, they are
aa safe in the hands of the present admin
1st ration as they were In the hands o
tha last. The proiildent has hla own way
of arriving at results. What Is more elg
nif leant and Interesting at present Is not
the 'actual noninterference. ' but rather
the fine disposition the president shows
to reenect all rUhli and to meet every
body half way In' the hor& and intert-st
of a homogeneous party of progress a
disposition which can only be Interpreted
aa statesmanlike conciliation, aod which
It would be a fatal mistake to consldej
aa a change of actual policy or purpose.
. Announcing at the outset that he
brought a message from the president,
this utterance of Mr. MacVeagh
should set all people right on the pol
icy of the administration. Those who
hoped to resort again to illegal prac
tices against which Roosevelt con
tended can blame no one but them
selves IX they are hauled up with a
sharp turn and those who Incline to be
captious can spare themselves th
trouble. It is an Impossibility for one
of Mr. Kwotievelt's temperament to pro
ceed along Taft lines and just as un
natural for Mr. Taft to follow Roose
velt methods. This does not preclude
both having the same goal or argue
that one method Is more effective man
the other. What the public desires Is
results and Mr. Taft has never yet
failed In any great undertaking or
turned back when once headed right.
Confidence was expressed by Mr. Mao
Veagh that revision of the tariff would
be accomplished along satisfactory
lines and his definition of "satisfac
tory lines" is significant:
The main point was to satisfy the middle
west. The demand for tariff revision la
not for radical and Impracticable re
duction, because everybody understands
that the republican party stands for pro
tection. It Is talking against the wind to
argue that the revision expected la not
revision downward and it would be
equally futile to say that the revision
down was promised to be a revision down
and out.
The address of the secretary of the
treasury is most reassuring to the
friends of the administration, but con
tains no comfort for its enemies.
The Home Market.
Omaha jobbers and manufacturers
have been sending out periodical trade
excursions to cultivate territory nat
urally tributary and these excursions
have invariably met with notable suc
cess. Every addition to our trade ter
ritory and every new customer within
the territory means business expansion
for Omaha and additional importance
for the city as a manufacturing and
Jobbing center.
In a way these trade excursions have
as their object the conquest of foreign
markets, but while we should let noth
ing escape In this competitive territory
Omaha jobbers and manufacturers
ought to have the advantage in the
home market right here without fight
ing for it. No city can be a commun
ity unto itself, yet the retail trade of
Omaha mounts far into the millions
every year. The same reasons that
urge our people to patronize our own
retailers should be equally forceful
with the retailers to handle and push
home-made goods and deal as far as
possible with home Jobbers.
What we should have here in Omaha
is a combined effort on the Dart of
manufacturer, jobber and retailer to
develop Omaha as a market town.
While reaching out into outside mar
kets we should also hold onto our home
market.
A Nestor of American Journalism,
Another landmark of the older
American Journalism has been re
moved by the death of Colonel Alexan
der K. McClure, for more than half a
century prominent in our public life
Colonel McClure began his newspaper
career In an interior Pennsylvala town
In the '40s and came to the forefront
with the founding of the republican
party, in which he played a not Insig
nificant part. He was one of the first
to recognize the commanding abilities
of At :ihatn Lincoln and was an influ
ential factor In procuring his nomina
tion and election, remaining on confi
dential terms with Lincoln as an ad
viser during the period of the civil war.
In the newspaper field Colonel Mc
Clure was 'Identified chiefly with the
Philadelphia Times, from which, how
ever, he had retired In the last few
years. At the time of his death he was
enjoying the honorary though not ex
acting office of prothonotary of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, a posi
tion given him in Mb old age in recog
nition of his long and notable public
service. Colonel McClure found time
to write several books of personal reml
niscences, dealing chiefly with men and
events of the civil war and reconstruc
tion period, which will constitute val
uable contributions to our political his
tory. It must be consoling to his
friends and admirers to know that he
should have lived to the ripe old age
of 81 years and saw the quiet follow
the stress and storm of hla earlier
years.
The compelling factor In the contro
versy between the mayor and council
over appointments is supposed to lie in
the fact that to protect Incumbents
whose reappointments may not be con
firmed Mayor "Jim" may have to stay
tn Omaha constantly without indulging
In out-of-town excursions that would
take hlin away over a regular council
meeting. Well, worse things than that
cou'.d happen.
According to Edgar Howard, there
Is only one obstacle In the path of Mr,
Bryan to the United States senate, and
that obstacle is himself. On three
successive occasions there has been
only one obstacle in the path of Mr
Dryan to the White House, and that
obstacle was himself.
And now we are told that "Omaha is
not growing as it should notwithstand
ing many think we are progressing
very rapidly." Never mind, we'll have
a census next year and take a popula
tion inventory. Exact figures will be
better than guesses or estimates.
Why should Indianapolis get to the
front ahead of Omaha as a starting
point for balloon racing? Omaha has
the plant and the geographical location
for successful aeronautic trials and
ought not to let its advantage go by
the board.
The Canadians are unduly alarmed
because the gunbeat Nashville has
been sent to Chicago. Canada should
be careful and not acquire bo bad a
case of nervous prostration aa the
mother country.
The Nebraska City Press asserts that
It has nothing to take back in regard
to iu charge that Omaha 1b a harbor
for crooks, but It adds. "Omaha Is a
good city as cities are judged, but they
are corrupt Just as other cities are cor
rupt." We presume the thing to do
then is to wipe all cities off the map.
Omaha apologises for existing.
Four state universities hsve taken
advantage of the Carnegie foundation,

Slgaiflcanre of Tariff Straggle.
Springfield, Mas., Republican.
It will not have escaped notice that the
effective opposition to the Aldrlch tariff
Dili in the senate IS largely confined to the
republican aide of the chamber to man

which a wise party leadershlD would be
quick to recognize and heed. But It counts
for nothing with the Aldrlch leadership.

The narrative of 700 miles In an airship

than Zeppelin'a three-quarter of 1,000 miles
between sky and earth. And there is the
tlylng machine coming on apace. But none
of them will break Puck's record of put

Great Debate In the Senate.
Boston Transcript.
No one can assert that the days of great
debate are over. , That which la now in
progress In the senate has rarely been
equalled in spirit, In vigor. In keeness of
repartee, and tn wealth of Information. The
contrast between the passage by the house
of the Payne bill, with no rumble of re
publican opposition, beside the determined
and vigorous resistance of the Insurgent
republicans to the Aldrlch bill In the sen
ate, Illustrates anew how vital an element
rules of procedure may become In the work
of a law-making body.

Army Gossip
Matter ef Inter it Oa Back
of tae rirtxur XUae Oleaaed from
the Arm aad jravy Begiater.
The retirement of Lieutenant Oenoral
Arthur MacArthur, V. S. A., Is an event
worthy of special mention. That offlor
has not been for some time discharging
the duties which ahould have devolved
upon him by virtue of his experience and
ability. It was nothing short of unfortu
nate that an officer of General Mac
Arthur's capacity wa not fully employed
during tha time when he was available for
active duty. His retirement on Wednesday,
by operation of law, affords the oppor
tunity of remarking upon the distinguished
career which Is brought to an officlat
close. No offioer It entitled to greater
praise for the services he rendered hla
oountry than General MacArthur, who be
gan to serve the United States aa a firs'
lieutenant of the Twepte'-fourth Wisconsin
Infantry and who was honorably mustered
out In 1S6. after a service of three years,
s a lieutenant colonel of the same regi
ment. He attained the grades of brigadier
reneral and major general of volunteer In
1804; he Is a medal of . honor man and his
service In the permanent establishment
since he was appointed as a second lieu
tenant of the Seventeenth infantry In Feb
ruary, 1866, has included varied snd re
sponsible tasks which he met fully In a
way that wa creditable to himself and
valuable to tha United States. He I the
last of the lieutenant generals that office
on the active list having expired by legis
lation with General MacArthur' retire
ment; In which connection It Is proper to
note that there are now on the retired list
six officer of that grade Nelson A. Miles,
S. B. M. Young, Adna R. Chaffee, John C.
Bates, Henry C. Corbln and Arthur Mac-
Arthur.
Unusual Interest appear to attach to
the examination which will be held July
12 of candidates for appointment as first
lieutenant In the medical corps of the
irmv. Numerous applications have al
ready been received at the office of the
surgeon general and the indications are In
favor of a larger number of candidates
than ever before. Applications must be in
possession of the adjutant general of the
army by June 10. There are at present 103
vacancies In the medical corps of the army.
A gratifying response from adjutant gen
eral of the various states ha been made
to the proposition to establish three army
medical camps of Instruction this summer
at Antletam, Sparta, Wis., and near San
Francisco, respectively. Several of the
states have Indicated a desire to send to
one or the other of these camps all of their
mllltla medical officers, who will have the
first opportunity of observing a field hos
pital organization, complete. The absence
of such a facility of observation hitherto
has given rise to considerable criticism on
the part of mllltla medical offlcera, who
have been anxious to learn what was re
quired of them and to see what a field hos
pital looked like. The surgeon general
office of the War departmsnt is making
special arrangements to have the exhibits
at the three camps of one field hospital,
cne regimental-hospital and three sanitary
apparatus ao comprehensive and Instruc
tive as possible. Officers of the regular
medical corps will be detailed to Impart in
struction and deliver lectures In field work,
hygiene and regulations.
It will not surprise the War department
officials If Mr. Charles Herring, who Is
under contract to deliver a flying machine
during the present month at ' Fort Myer,
asks to be reMeved from that obligation.
There have been Indications of such a
desire on the part of the contractor, A
request to that effect will be promptly
compiled with, as Is done In other In
stances where the contracts are of a tenta
tive nature such as that In the case of the
Herring type of aeroplane. The army sig
nal office continues to receive all sorts of
suggestions from Inventors of the means
of mechanical flight. A form of reply Is
sent In response to all such communica
tions. Whenever plans are submitted they
are promptly returned, It being desired
by the military authorities to relieve them
selves of a subsequent charge that In any
successful mechanism which may here
after be developed and adopted these plans
have been used. This Is a precautionary
measure which Is well taken. Since some
of the Inventors are likely to recognize
In any solution of the problem the value
of their own proposition.
The New York Sun' Washington letter,
referring to the orders Issued by the sec
retary of war, Instructing the chief signal
officer of the army to prepare for future
use a comprehensive plan for the protec
tion of the entire Atlantic coast by dirigible
balloon or other air craft, say the scheme
Involves the establishment of balloon
houses from Florida to Maine. According
to the preliminary Ideas of experts, "these
station will be about 2f0 miles apart. At
each station there will be groups ot two
and possibly three of these balloon houses,
so that If an airship from one station
makes Its way to another there will be a
place for storing and taking care of It.
The coast will be divided Into zones and
airships will be assigned to each zone. The
tone will extend a specified distance sea
ward from each station. The expert do
not know how many airships will be neces
ary to protect the coast.
"It Is not the present Intention to use air
ships as fighting craft and the plans do
not contemplate the development of strate
gical tactics for conflict. The Idea Is that
the most efficient and useful work of the
airship Is to go scouting at sea, flying
back to shore to give the alarm when a
fleet of the enemy is sighted. Should the
enemy send up airships from the ships the
land batteries will be supposed to take
care of them. The balloon stations will be
placed as near the coast defenses of the
coast artillery as Is deemed practicable.
"The type of balloon to be used for coast
defense has not been decided upon, but It
will be of the most approved pattern, prob
ably modeled after the best Kuropeen di
rigibles, which have had the greatest suc
cess so far, and will he more than 200 feet
long. Aeroplanes probably will not be
used, na the winds ot the coast will make
their work uncertain and unsatisfactory,
as compared with that of the lighter than
air craft.
"In the course of time plans, will be
drawn for the defense of all of this coun
try's coast line, but the beginning of the
work will be on the Atlantic coast. The
balloon houses will be of the highest type,
similar to a house at Fort Omaha. The
work of the signal corps' aeronautic ex
perts at Fort Omaha will be continued and
before long what Is expected to be the
finest aerial elation In the world will have
been finished at that military post."

Cclumbus Journal: Abusing Omaha will

Beatrice Express: Governor Shallenberger
ha been praising Omaha as a market
town and, In that way, may be able to
make the metropolis forget that he signed
the daylight saloon , bill.
Hastings Republican: If Omaha would

Interesting. Kansas City Is getting Its
boat line and It la now up to Omaha to
get a similar move on Itself.
Beatrice Sun: The barefoot boys with
cheek of tan, mere children, who found
the hidden treasure of the Omaha train
robber, are getting altogether too much
notoriety for their own good. They are
liable to ge the Idea that they are cut out
for detective and will want to go on the
trail for the bold, bad desperadoes and
the country will be overrun by thief
catchers.
Springfield Monitor: Rev. Charle W.
Sarldge, who has done a noble work In
Omaha preaching and saving souls, has
added a new department to his business
by opening up a matrimonial bureau. Un
like most of those bureaus, It Is not a
money making scheme, but as the rev
ertned gentleman put It, "Why, this Is
th Lord's work, and I am In the Lord's
service,"
Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee Is of
course exousable for standing up for Omaha
as against the reflections of a number of
country newspapers who have concluded
that the "metropolis" Is a safe harbor for
crooks and criminals. The Bee ought to
do that, and It will be admitted that the
police force soon run the recent train
robbers to earth. The discovery of the
clue, however, was accidental, and the
arrests were made on Easy streot. The
point made against Omaha and It Is u
loss to get soro about it Is that there has
been entirely too much "free and, easy"
In police administration .for which past
mayors may have been responsible. Omaha
as a big city naturally attracts the crimi
nal element, and that presents the very
strongest reason for police vigilance. This
Is due not only to the people of Omaha,
but I due likewise to the state at large.
Grand Island Independent: The National
Sangerbund is coming to Omaha Just the
same. The organization officials have given
It out that the members did not decide to
come to the Missouri river town to drink.
Unit to sing, and the 8 o'clock closing law
won't make any material difference with
them. While the German singer Is an ad
vocate of personal liberty he is also a good
natured, wholeaouled human being who can
make the best of everything, In whose op
timism there la a bright side to everything
and a good lde to everybody or he
wouldn't be a singer! He will fit himself
Into any locality and adjust himself to any
conditions, If need be. His motto Is:
'Where on sings there pitch thy tent."
And where he runs up against a bit of
radicalism he merely tries to round off
the roughest edges and get along peace
fully and pleasantly with his neighbor,
willing to give and take and meet any man
half way.
