Continuing Tariff Debate.
Senators Smoot and La Follette are
continuing lo the public press the de
bate on the tariff bill, which they
began in the senate, but this dlscus
Ion of the measure, or rather meas
ures, outside the conference commit
tee avails little. In the first place,
there are now two tariff bills, the
house measure and the senate bill
with the final form which the law Is
to have yet to be decided by the
conference. If the finished measure
is not a compromise between the
house and senate bills It will be the
first time In history that such has
not been the case. There will be mu
tual concessions by the two houses,
and the consensus of opinion Is that.
In the main, the senate will Insist
upon reductions It made from existing
law, and the house will do the same,
which would produce a bill with ma
terially Jower rates than the DIngley
bill.
One thing brought out by Senator
Smoot Is worthy of more than pass
ing attention, and that Is that the
Increases from present rates made by
the senate are largely upon luxuries
such as wines, liquors, silks, dia
monds, automobiles and similar clas
sifications, .which accords with ac
cepted policy, and even the opponents
of the measure will not generally
criticise this feature. It puts the In
crease upon goods Imported by those
best able to bear It and keeps In view
one of the essentials of a tariff, the
production of revenue. People who
use luxuries will buy them whether
the cost is high or low whenever they
have the money, and price does not
affect Importation so largely. This
Is one part of the bill which is likely
to be retained and Is defensible from
any attack.
It will be time enough to analyze
the rates in the bill when the meas
ure Is completed and not until then
can an idea be obtained of Its real
relation to the existing tariff.
Sending Immigrants to Farms.
The Immigration commission, aided
by several benevolent societies, is en
deavoring to turn as many immigrants
as possible from the cltlea to the
farming sections. Experiments wTlh
Italians in Louisiana and South Caro
lina in past years show that these and
other people from southern Europe
prosper In the southern states and aid
materially in developing the commu
nities where they settle. The immi
grants from northern Europe drift
largely to the farms without any di
recting effort, but those from the
south tend to remain in the congested
centers and add to the overstocked
labor market, where, with the first
business reverse, they become either
a charge or a menace.
In addition to the demand for farm
labor in the undeveloped sections, of
the west where they might find homes,
there is also a good, if not a belter,
field for them In the eastern and
southern farming sections. ,There they
will find much untitled land with
farming conditions more nearly like
those of their own country with which
they are better fitted to cope than
in developing new lands. They are
also adapted by nature for the cli
matic conditions of the uoyth and
could add materially to their own and
the nation's wealth if they would go
to southern farms, to say nothing of
the distribution aiding In their
Americanization. The commission
could perform no better service than
to divert the vast stream of Immi
grants which pours into New York
into agricultural channels in sections
where there is demand and opportu
nity for them.
Altogether Too Much.
The prospect of a nearly 40 per cent
increase in city taxes ought to arouse
the people of Omaha to an Immediate
protest. If the tax levy 1b made to
conform to the demands formulated
in the resolution adopted by the city
council it will mean an Increase of the
amount of money raised for city pur
poses from $1,160,000 for 1909 to
$1,600,000 for 1910. It would mean
that the property owner paying $70 In
taxes this year would have to pay $100
next year. In addition to this the
school board is said to be talking
about increasing the school levy,
which would pile a further burden on
the taxpayers.
While the chief blame for this bad
state of affairs must go to tha Water
board, and the Water hoard's reckless
mismanagement, still the Water
board's folly acoounts for only $350,
000 out of the $450,000 increase. The
excuse for adding $100,000 to the other
funds on the ground of charter
changes is not a valid one. Because
the charter has raised the limit of the
amounts which may be legally levied
Imposes no obligation to raise the full
limit, and there is no reason why more
money should be taken from the tax
payers than necessary just because of
the power to do 80. '
It should be remembered, further,
that the tax levy last year was unduly
inflated and the city could have gotten
along reasonably well with $100,000
less than was actually raised. An
other item to be kept in mind is the
promised occupation tax on the fran
chlsed corporations using city streets,
which will produce upward of $100
000. The taxpayers will see no ad
vantage in raising money from the oc
cupation tax If it is not applied back
so as to relieve them correspondingly
by reducing the city tax rate. ' '
So far as the Board of Education is
concerned it, too, has been padding its
eetiin Ves for several years and devot
ing m.iey from, current taxes to per
manent Improvements, which ought to
have been paid out of proceeds of
bonds already voted. For the board
to assume that Its revenue from license
fees will be cut down next year is en
tirely premature and will not Justify
boosting the school levy at this time.
Omaha Is experiencing a noticeable
era of building expansion, but If we
have to have a sky-scraper tax rate
nearly 40 per cent higher than hereto
fore it will tend to discourage Im
provements. This is the time for the
taxpayers through their improvement
clubs, commercial clubs. Real Estate
exchange and other organizations, who
usually complain after it is too late, to
speak oat before the mischief is done.
Marshall Against Protection.
The democratic governor of In
diana has come out in an interview
supporting Mr. Bryan In the latter's
attack upon Senator Bailey and other
protection democratic senators from
southern states. Mr. Marshall is be
ing groomed by his friends for the
presidential nomination In .1912, and,
like other democratic leaders, is
groping for an issue. But there are
high protection democrats, moderate
protectionist and tariff for revenue
democrats like Mr. Marshall declares
himself to be, which is but a varia
tion of free trade, for to accomplish
its highest revenue producing func
tions a tariff must be levied only on
articles which we must have and can
not produce.
In basing hopes of success on a
free trade platform, reasoning from
the Cleveland campaigns, Mr. Mar
shall falls to consider changed condi
tions. The south, which then was
agricultural and non-manufacturing,
Is now largely engaged in manufac
tures and its industries are rapidly
expanding. The south has been and
Is today the backbone of democracy,
but the attitude of Senators Bailey,
McEnery and others demonstrates
that it cannot be appealed to on the
free trade Issue. Whatever southern
states may do at election time they
are not likely to assist in foisting
free trade upon the party. There are
three years mora in which to seek out
a paramount Issue, and doubtless if
no other should be found, Mr. Bryan
would consent to be it.
Vain Southern Appeal.
Southern papers and southern peo
ple have been often of late lamenting
that numbers of southern people have
moved to northern states and urging
that if people of the older southern
states must move, they go to the south
ern states further west. Such an ap
peal would be as vain as one of the
northern papers to stop movements
from this section to the south, which
have been considerable. People do
not change residence from habit, but
from a desire to better themselves,
and they go where conditions appear
the most favorable. It Is this eco
nomic fact which has settled up the
great west, for here was the land of
opportunity. The milder climate and
the development of 'truck and fruit
farming has attracted many northern
people to the south and will doubtless
attract more In the future.
If there is any argument other than
individual profit and comfort in the
moving of southerners to the no fill
and northerners to the south it is in
favor of the Interchange. It tends
to a better understanding by the sec
tions of each other and to wipe out
sectional differences both of opinion
and characteristics and make the
country more homogeneous. We now
all know that "yankees" do not have
horns and that the southerner does
not eat northerners as . a ' breakfast
relish, but we still have much to learn
of each other which both would profit
by knowing.
Under the amended primary law the
various platform conventions must take
no action with reference to anyone
who may be a candidate for office, pre
sumably at the next election. But as
candidates could be sprung after the
platform conventions shall have ad
journed any Indorsement of anybody
would seem to be out of order. Sup
pose, for example, the demo-pop con
vention should approve the work of
the demo-pop law-makers, and then
some of the law-makers should land
on the tickets. The conventions would
be violating the law and, of course, no
demo-pop convention would think for a
moment of doing anything but live
scrupulously up to the letter and spirit
of every word put on the statute books
by the late demo-pop legislature.
In the town of Lincoln a small-sized
scandal has been unearthed In the dis
tribution of a bunch of free circus tick

circus secured permission to use all the

Now we have another reason why
Omaha should expedite its purchase of
the waterv plant and give the water
board possession before the next circus
comes to town.

SURVIVING VETERANS.
Feat errs of Statistics .from the Pen
sion Of fie.
Philadelphia .Trees,
According to the estimate of the record
and pension office at,. Washington the num
ber of survivors of those who served in
the union army in the civil war are at the
present time 686.832 out of 1,602,175. Union
soldiers living at the close of the war.
This la S9.832 lees than were alive a year
ago, showing that the veterans are dying
off at the rate of 108 a day, or one In less
than every fourteen minutes.
We congratulate these survivors that they
have seen another natal day of our great
republic. We expect and hope to have some
of them with us for many years yet, even
though their rate of death increases with
the years. The same official estimate
fixes 1&46 as the latest date for the prob
able decease of the last surviving veteran
of the civil war.
This is eighty years after the olvtl war
closed and the youngest aoldier who waa
mustered out in 1865 at the age of 16 or 17
will be then nearly through the nineties,
even if he survives that long. The pre
sumption Is that the strongest would pass
away earlier than that were It not for the
preserving Influence of a government pen
sion on some organlzattona.
The Mexican war ended in 1847, and June
80, 1908, alxty-one years later, 3,838 survlv
lng soldiers of the Mexican war were still
drawing penaions from the government.
Daniel F. Bakeman of New Tork, a soldier
of the revolution, continued to draw
pension from his grateful oountry until
April 5, 1869, when he passed away at the
age of 109 years t months and t days
Hiram Cronk, of New Tork, a pensioned
soldier of the war of 1813, died in May, 1805,
aged 105 years.
With the precedents of Bakeman and
Cronk drawing pensions eighty-eight and
ninety years after the end of the war In
which thoy served, It Is highly probable
that some of the civil war veterans will
continue to gladden us with their preaence
in 1948, eighty years after Appomattox,
and possibly several years later.

In the Pocantlro hllla a few miles above
New Tork, where Rockefeller's castle looks
down upon the Hudson, there lived until
recently one man with a real grouch
against the Standard Oil king. It waa a
grouch that tainted money could not ap
pease or banish, or Induce tha owner to go
away off and lose himself. John Mnlln Is
his name. He owned and operated a liquid
oasis right near John D's gate and refused
for years to receive any of the bunches of
old money for the place.
"He has enough land already," Melln
would say. "I don't see any reason for
selling to him. If he don't like this lo
cality he can sell out and move away.
I make money here. Though Rockefeller
does not want me here. I have a good
trade."
When Melvln was ready to dispose of his
property, however, he hunted up a friend
In White Plains whom he could trust,
and disposed of the property to him.
'I sold the property to him 83,000 oheap-
er than I would sell to John D., he
said. "I want to go back to Sweden.
My wife wants also to go back there to
bring the baby up. I am going baok for
five years anyway."
A railroad company which has offices
on the twelfth floor of the Singer Build--
lng advertised for an office boy. A small
army was waiting when the manager ar
rived next morning.
After putting them through an exam
ination as to their knowledge of streets
and places In New Tork, the manager
selected on probation an exoepttoally
bright little chap from Brooklyn named
Harry Jordan and dismissed the rest. A
few minutes later Harry was given his
first errand to go to the post office and
buy a dollars worth of stamps. The mana
ger, who was suffering from an ulcerated
tooth, retired to his private office to
nurse a badly swollen jaw.
When Harry had been gone half an hour
the manager began to wonder what was
keeping him. At the end of an hour he
was satisfied that he had made a mistake
In trusting a strange lad with money, and
by 1 o'clock he was certain that he should
never see boy or dollar again.
Just then, Harry pushed open the door,
panting and red In the face. The moment
his eyes rested on his new employer he
gave a sigh of relief and collapsed in a
chair.
"Where on earth have you beenT" de
manded the manager.
"I was afraid I'd lost you," said Harry
as soon aa he had recovered his wind.
"You see, I forgot yer name and I forgot
the floor and so I takes the elevator to the
top and works my way down. I've been
lookln' in every office on every floor fer a
guy with a bum face. It took me two
hours, but I knew I'd get you and here's
yer stamps."
Harry's Job has been made permanent.
"My mother Is heart-broken and proa,

With those words, put In the form of a
petition, Charles Krapp, a fireman, who
with legal permiasion substituted a "u" for
the "a" in his name last Tuesday, next
day asked Judge Blanchard, In the sup
reme court, to translate him back again.
"I sound too much like that dice game,"
said Krapp on the first occasion, "and I
can't go anywhere without having some
body yell to me, "Come seben!"
But when he appeared It waa of a differ
ent state of mind.
"I don't know what It was going to mean
to my mother," he said. Moreover, his
father had threatened to disown him and
disinherit him.
"All right," said the judge. "Krapp It Is
and shall be hereafter," and ho made Uie
necessary entry upon the records.
To any rich American woman who Is
smbltlouH to scintillate In the society of
the European nobility a woman, styling
herself as the Marquise De La Roche
briant .offers a display of twenty-nine
choice titles from which a selection may
be made.
"Marquise De La Roohebrlant" is In
New Tork City, and has caused to be In
serted In the newspapers an advertisement
that for a sufficient cash payment she
will dispose of any one or more of her
titles. Explaining that a brother had
wrecked her fortune, she said she came
to America to dispose of at least one
title in an effort to recoup the family
fortunes. She particularly recommends
her title as Countess D'Autier aa a de
sirable one for any American woman who
Is willing to pay $1,000,000. She says she
had been offered $500,000 for it. but could
i.ot think of letting it go at that price.
Nurses in the King's County hospital
have found . thousands of dollars In cash,
bank notes and Jewelry concealed In the
garments of Elisabeth Donegan, a servant
who was found starving to death on the
streets of Brooklyn. A policeman waa at
tracted to a thin, half clad and shivering
little old woman in a aide street late at
night and took her to the station. There
an ambulance doctor said she was ill from
starvation and sent her to the hospital
She protested, as much as her strength
would permit, against the taking of her
clothes from her. In one garment the
nurses found $85.60 in gold and silver
money, ten large unset diamonds, a gold
watch and chain and other Jewelry. To
another garment was aewn $000 in bills
and two bank books, representing depos
its of more than $6,000.
The woman had worked as a family
servant until she became ill. and then,
having no home and failing to provide
herself with one, the polloe say she wan
dered tha streeta until ahe became weak
from lack of food.
The Misses Kate and Jane Dunphy, mil
liners of Denver, were shopping In Broad
day. Miss Kate lost through a hole In her
Jacket pocket a gold watch, an envelope
containing $300 and another envelope con
taining their tickets to Europe. They ad
vertised their loss and the envelope con
taining the tickets was found In a store,
where It had been left by a man who had
picked It up in the straet. Another reply
to their advertisement told of a boy, giving"
his address, who had found some money.
With a detective the Misses Dunphy called
on the lad and he returned the $300 and
the gold watch, which be had concealed
In his cellar, awaiting a reward He was
given $30.
After he had been revived In a hospital,
Samuel Lowey, a diamond merchant, who
fell from a New Tork Central train while
it waa going through the Harlem station
at thirty miles an hour, felt of his pockets
hysterically and asked If his diamonds had
boen found. The doctor drew from his
pocket several packages containing $18,000
worth of dlamondH, but I-owey said there
were more, that he had had two large
stones In a small pocket of his ooat While
he was describing them tha police arrived

S0NQ OF THE RIP.
New Tork Sun.
With fingers rebelling and stiff.
With frown on the front of his head.
A bachelor sat on the edge of his couch,
riving his needle and thread.
Stlch stlrh stlch!
With a lonesome note on his Up,
And still with a voire of dolorous pitch
He sang the "Song of the Rip."
Work work work !
He doesn't care for that;
With work work work!
He doean't support a flat;
He can quit whenever he wants
And work when his dough gives out.
But the doing of work that ft woman
should do
la enough to grumble about
Loaf loaf loaf !
That does not satisfy;
Work work work!
I know no reason why.
Oh, why continue to live?
Or why should I stop and diet
I know no reason for this or that.
Or whether li s truth or lie.
But why do I talk of death,
That phantom of grisly bone?
I haven t the courage to Jump in the lake
Or turn on the gas alone.
Seam and button and rip.
Rip and button and seam,
Till over the buttons I fall asleep
And sew them on In a dream.
With fingers rebelling and stiff,
With scowl on the front of his head,
A. bachelor sat on the edge of his couah,
Plying his needle and thread.
Stitch stitch stitch!
With a loneKome note on Ms Hps.
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
He sang this "Song of the Rip."
