By resorting to the us of a hand organ New York suffragettes will get a hearing at least. Half a dozen men are said to eon fol the meat supply of th conntry, but who cares If they will only put It over the plate? Crop conditions are reported better than a year ago and Nebraska Is up with the leaders, which will I)elp nat ters along some. Wonder If Edgar Howard Is going to run his obituary notice of th death, of "Popular Government" In Nebraska a a serial story? Those charging lions In Africa could learn something to their advantage by consulting certain members of con gress at Washington. Sioux City haa just opened a new auditorium, with a seating capacity of 8,600 people, erected at a cost of $70,. 000. We congratulate Sioux City. Thirteen men signed 'the eall for the reorganization of th free trad party. No wonder they wanted to get some body else In when they counted noses. A Columbia professor says there was a time when man had six fingers on his hand. That must have been before the cannon cracker was In vented.

The Missouri river will still be open tn December for any delegations to th waterways convention at Omaha who may want to show that th way to navigate I to navigate. Omaha used to boaat that It was on of th best paved cities In th country. We regret to report that we ar not doing our full shre these day U making good on that boast la order to satisfy th critic Prst dent Eliot state that his five-foot book sbelf 1 of th sectional variety and people are, of course, at liberty to add as many sections as they plea. If the Woodma of th World po- ple bad waat4 to avoid pulling and bailing by real estate gata they would hav aeoured th desired site for their new building before giving their Intention ioh wide publicity. Tariff Bill to Conferenca. The) senate haa pasted th tariff bill and refusal of the house to concur In the senate amendments, baa sent It to conference, where the final tariff measure will be agreed on. There are some featurea which ara prac tically certain to b In tho finished bill, among them the maximum and minimum clause, the custom court and the) corporation tax, which It I generally conceded will aupplant the Inheritance Ui provision In the house bill. On th great majority of th sev eral thousand items In tho schedule there I bo difference between th two bout, and these, of course, may gen erally be conceded aa settled. Th hu and cry raised by the demo cratic press ba doubtles led many to bllT all th tariff revision up to date ha been upward Instead of downward, bat such I not th case. Th house lowered many of the pres ent duties, notably steel and Iron, and raised a few. The ha lowored many of the rate In th house btll and raised some and, a a rule, th n- oreates hare been on luxuries. Th consensu of opinion, and in this Pres ident Taft Is said to share, Is that the house will insist upon most of tho re duction It made from existing duties and th senat will do likewise with Its reductions. If this proves tru, th finished bill will give a mor substan tial reduction than either from th average rat of duty now levied, and be measurably responsive to th de mand for revision downward. One aspect must not be lost sight of and that Is the necessity for revenue, which renders Imperative duties on some articles which need no protec tion and higher rates on others than would otherwise be justified. Con cessions to localities also Induce rates not satisfactory to other sections of th country, notably th duty on hides, demanded by th wast, which Is dis tasteful to Nw England and a few other sections. Th pending bill, like all It predecessors, Is, therefor, much of a compromise and th tarn conditions will prevail during confer ence and shape its final form. Presi dent Taft's well-known attitude Is likely to hav Its effect In the confer-, one stag, and th ultimate result ought to be a fairly acceptable law. Prom.it of Currency I filiation. Senator Aldrlch, chairman of the senat commute on finance and also of th joint currency commission, states In a public Interview that he is confident the commission will be ready to report at th opening of th regular session of congress tn December and that currency legislation will be taken up at once. The senator gives no clue as to what the commission will favor, except that It will seek a general re- modeltng of the currency system, which at present is th outgrowth of pleceareal legislation. That our currency system is weak In many places and Inelastic I gen emlly conceded, and foreign financiers particularly ar of the opinion that nothing but th tremendous resources of the nation have prevented disaster. The legislation following the 1907 panic was admittedly only a make shift and Intended to continue In force only until th commission of which Mr, Aldrlch Is chairman could Investi gate and report and congress act with the light of that report Th senator contemplates a European trip when Congress adjourns and this Is taken to Indicate that the commission has prac tically completed Its work. Failure of Speaker Cannon to name th banking and currency committee for th house also beclouds th differ ences as between th Idea of Con gressmen Fowler and Vreelaad. Wall street financial papers bar It that a central bank will be recommended. while some well-informed observer insist that the commission will favor asset currency to be Issued as bank notes are at present, by any bank which puts up the required security Bo long as the members of the com mission refuse to talk, however, one man's guess Is as good as another, ex oept that Senator Aldrlch' assurance mean that some positive action will be had. Etraifhtenin? the Map. When Omaha was first surveyed as a townslte the streets were laid out according to a regular plan In . th area comprised in the original town site. It stepped at that time at Twentieth street on the west Since then the city has grown In all dlree tions, with additions tacked on platted to suit the convenience of those Inter ested tn Selling the property, and with little regard to the Interests of the f u tun Omaha. The moat flagrant example of thli Irregularity Is to be found In the block from Twentieth street to Twenty fourth, which has no cross streets whatever from St. Mary's avenue on the south to Dodge street on the north. Along th three east and west streets that are In the path of business devel opment there Is an uninterrupted stretch of four squares, with no con necting streets running north an south. In several other parts of the city this situation is repeated, al though th urgency for opening up cross streets may not be eo great The point Th See wishes to make I this, that where streets must sooner or later be opened up to straighten th map of Omaha the tlma to make these Improvements Is at hand and the work should not be deferred, because the ex pease of appropriating the necessary land la constantly increasing. More over, the longer w wait th better and more costly will be th Improvement on tho land that must be cleared, and the difficulty of doing anything at all til be Immensely .increased. Other elUes which have made th same mistakes are paying a high price for their, experience. They are openi ng thoroughfares and straightening or widening streets often at colossal out- ay. If Omaha would avoid repetition of such costly undertakings It will go to It at once to perfect Its street plan, and be fully prepared for the era of material growth and expansion whleh Is Immediately tn front of our city. The July Crop Report The July crop report of th Depart ment of Agriculture, coinciding a It doe with th Information gathered by railroad and private parties, 1 most encouraging. , Th one note of reserve In the predictions of financiers and manufacturers has been the eropt. Without eiceptlbn 'these men hat predicted not only a continuant of present business activity, but a still greater expansion In cas th season's crops prove good.' A much better small grain crop than last year Is now assured and eom up to date Is In better Condition than last year, with an Increased acreage. Cotton alon of all the ataple eropa Is reported below th average and this not ssrlously ao. With such an outlook there Is every assurance that th west and southwest particularly, which were th anchor of th country In th last panic, would pour their abundant atream of wealth Into the channels of trad. Every western olty, village and community Is showing its faith In the future by reaching, out after and preparing to handle the Increased output, and it the eastern moneyed men ever had reason io oesuaio iney may anay weir tear, barring only unforeseen and unlikely mishaps. Tom Johnson's Dream. Mayor Tom ' Johnson of Cleveland ha another scheme, this time not original with him, but borrowed. A charitably Inclined man of wealth Is donating SCO 00 a year to aid tn uniting all the various "reform' movements Into-one', and Mayor John son proposes tn raise more money and when the isms have been cemented tie them onto the democratlo kit. If It work It wtll be more difficult than ever to tell what Is a democrat, but that is the least of Mayor Johnson's troubles. Th democratic party has absorbed so many lam in the past that Its plat forms have resembled an old-fash. loned crasy quilt, but Mayor Johnson is confident that a few mor patches and bit of local color will not hurt and th assimilating process can pro ceed while he and his friends are en joying the offices. While plausible In his argument about what could be ac complished In oarrytng elections by uniting all the various isms, Mr. John son offer no, proof that bitching onto the democratic kite would land the various "reformers ' nearer their Ideals than they now are. The fall ure of the democrats to stick together on present Issues and the hopeless split In the party when it was last In power Is not encouraging to ultra re formers whose Idea are a much at variance with democracy as with re publicanism. Water board lawyers have all the time talked about voting bonds to pay the overduej hydrant rentals, which is mounting up at the rate of considera bly more than S 100,000 a year, includ ing Interest. They were very careful, however, not to submit this bond prop osition at the same time with the $6, (00,000 purchase price bond Issue. If the voter had realized how much money they will be expected to pay to straighten out the water works situa tion they" would have looked Into the whole subject more seriously. In tho meanwhile we are paying 7 per cent Interest on the judgments for hydrant rentals, which the Water board haa confessed In favor of tht water company. Two per cent 1 all the city Is getting In on its surplus money In city depositories. How long would It take a private corporation doing business that way to go bank rupt? i A man SO yeara old who had been In prison twenty-five years when re leased in New Jersey the other day, was unaoie to comprenend the things which he saw. Those who hav wit nessed the developments of the last quarter of a century, step by step, do not appreciate what a complete trans formation it has wrought Hood River, Ore., orchard men esti mate the loss of fruit from Insect pests this year will be only 1 per cent, while a few years ago It reached as high as 15 per eent This shows what Intelli gent Orchardists can do If they will try and Is an object leason to fruit grow era in this section. Positive announcement Is made that the corporations wtll fight the federal tax if it ts finally a part of the revenue bill. That Is no news, however, a no new source of taxation is ever opera tive, whether against corporations or individuals, without being tested in the courts. The only strange part about the selection of a sculrtor for the Lincoln monument to be erected at th stat capital Is the unexplalnable oversight of th artist who modeled the Lincoln statu that stands on the high school grounds in Omaha. It 1 all right to hav a little rivalry between th upper and lower atretche of th Missouri but whan It com to putting th Missouri on th waterways map It Is all one river from the mouth to the head of navigation. A North Carolinian has been elected head of the National Teachers' asso ciation. It has been a long time since the educational world looked to the Tar Heel state for educational light, but let ua hope It will be an omen of the futur. Republics may be ungrateful, but monarchies never. Great Britain ha voted a pension, of ft. BO pe.r week to the four grandchildren of Dlckena. Th amount might have been in creased, but the nation need the money to build Dreadnaughts. Thos Who wr fearful Nhat An drew Carnegie and Mra. Russell Sage bad given away all their money may find relief In the New York assessor' returns, where each confesses to hav ing $6,000,000 worth of personal prop erty In the taxation district. South Omaha haa a new home rule police board made up of three non partisan democrats appointed by the democratlo governor at Lincoln. But the 8 o'clock closing law Is doing bus iness In South Omaha just the same. Astronomers assert that on the Shadv alrfa nt the tnnnn tha tamnnra- tur la 100 degrees below zero." If ine man in the moon is able to stand that he would be Just theerson to send on a polar expedition. There are several reasons why the session of the Oeorgla legislature promises to be a short one.

For purposes of comparison bear these figures In mind: In th war with Spain th total number of officer who were killed tn battle or died of wounds waa twenty-seven; th total number of enlisted men who were killed In battle of wounds was 81S In all US.

Th doctrine he preached was sound to th core, oven If hi praetlc waa weak and too muoh colored with favoritism. Hence th hop Is that Mr. Wlckersham will succeed In proving th high officials of th sugar trust guilty under th In dictments returnid. Th sugar trust haa long bn an ar rogant offender.

Unable to control a majority of the Reichstag, he Is unable to withdraw and rattr. His responsibility Is tb the kaiser, not to the Reichstag. As th kaisar will not accept his resignation, as a loyal and favored chancellor ha Is obliged to defer his retirement to his Italian villa until the Relohctag passes auch a revenue meaaure aa the opposing majority wlUs. "A review of his long service aa chancellor," aays the New York Post, "would hav to concede him great skill In political management, wit and sagacity aa a speaker, and high success In his courtier functions; but he has been deficient In real force, has had no large and consistent pro gram, whll under him Germany haa suf fered on diplomatic humiliation after another."
