The United States knows how to sympathise with Spain In Its Carllst troubles for w have a perpetual can didate of our own. The leather trust Is to amend Its articles of Incorporation and It Is to be hoped all the stretch Is out of the concern by this time.' If the Atlantic City tax on baby buggies Is designed aa a revenue pro ducer it might be Improved upon by taxing everybody who drlnka out of a bottle. The one thing lacking in the state encampment of the Nebraska National Guard seems to have been a dress pa rade by the colonels on the governor's military staff. It is reported that Justice Brewer desires to retire from the United States supreme bench, but his wife objects. This suggests another stanza to a popular song. And that reminds us the people of Omaha voted $, 500,000 water bonds nearly three months ago to perfect the "immediate and compulsory" pur chase of the water works. Not a single Juror was secured during the first week of the second Calhoun trial at San Francisco. The lawyers must be trying to beat the record of the first hearing. Secret service men console us with the assurance that bad money is not plentiful, but, on the other hand, neither is good money so plentiful with some of us as we might wish.

Lincoln is having trouble In finding someone to take tbe place of principal of its high school. Omaha once went to Lincoln for a high school principal, and Lincoln might do well to tak reprisal now by coming to Omaha. The latest Is that a colony of Sioux Indians will remove to Nicaragua. If the Bloux ever mix up In on of the periodic revolutions down there the Ntcaraguana will know there is some thing doing. Tbe Spaniards drove th Moors out of Spain and the descendants of the Moors are now making a desperate ef fort to drive the Spaniards out of Africa. That la on Quarrel older than a Kentucky feud. Senator Oor of Oklahoma demon strates that he Is something of a pol itlclan when he recommends that dem ocrats put up no candidates against anti-Cannon republicans. But how about tbe Cannon democrats? Our amiable demo-pop contemporary exhibits signs of distress for tear the republican party may have to go into th hands of a receiver. The bank ruptcy of th democratic party, pollt Ically and otherwise, has been a sore affliction all thes years and It Is no wondr that a democratic organ wishes it ha4 aomjaajfr At to Endorsements. FREMONT, Neb., July J. To the Editor of The Bee: I saw In The Dee recently n Item to the effect that the coming state convention eonld, If It wanted to, Indorae three candidate! for eupreme Judge, but would probably not do so unless the candi date agreed to thtji method. Why don't you advocate thla plan and bring pressure to bear to have It carried out? W. O. This Is a pertinent question, but it seems to The Bp that it Is up to the candidates themselves Inasmuch as there Is no power lodged anywhere to compel them, or anyone else, to sub mit to a decision of a convention. The direct primary law Rives everyone, who Is otherwise qualified and aspires to office, a legal right to appeal to the rank and file of the voters of his party, no matter how hopeless his cause may be. In the present situation we believe that the candidates seeking places on the republican ticket would be follow ing the course of -wisdom if they should agree to let the coming conven tion decide between them and thus avoid a costly primary campaign. The democrats have seen to It that only three names have been filed fot the three Judgeship places to be filled on their ticket and have thus obviated any primary contest. The democratic candidates start out, therefore, with their nominations already In hand, while the republicans will consume a month of valuable time and waste much money and effort to find out who the republican candidates are to be. In Wisconsin last year the demo crats went even further than our cor respondent suggests by holding a state convention before the time for filings closed and nominating a complete set of candidates for state offices whose names were thereupon filed as the choice of the organization, and no other democrats had the temerity even to file against them. What the demo crats of Wisconsin did In convention last year the democrats of Nebraska, despite their hypocritical professions of nonpartlsanshlp, have done by man ipulation this year. If our repub licans could, by agreement, make up the state ticket without a primary fight they would have good democratic precedent in Justification. Conquering the Air. The much-talked-of feat of crossing tbe English channel in an aeroplane has been accomplished by M. Blerlot, a Frenchman. So far as actual dis tance Is concerned the achievement is not particularly notable, it being only about twenty miles across the channel at the point where the flight was ac complished, while the Wright broth ers have succeeded In making as high as sixty-one miles in a heavter-than-alr machine. The air currents of the English channel aro notoriously treacherous, however, In addition to the fact that aerial flight over land and water combined Is always more difficult that over land or water alone, owing to th changing temperatures and varying atmospheric conditions. The great stumbling block to all forms of aviation has been the uncon trollable air conditions, to which the flyer must adapt himself,, oftentimes without any previous knowledge of what he is to meet. An instance of this was the violent ascent to a great height by a balloon which recently passed Over the Tennessee river, striking the colder air current over the river at a low altitude. The cross ing of the English channel, the feats of the Wright brothers, Curtlss and a number of foreign aeroplanlsts and Count Zeppelin and others in dirigible balloons are evidence that persistent effort is making rapid progress to wards solving the problems which baffled their predecessors and that aviation is being gradually reduced to a science, giving promise that air nav igation may some day be accomplished with reasonable certainty and safety. Distributing Financial Power. Participation by tbe United States bankers In the Chinese loan empha sizes the position of this country in the arena of the world of finance. Formerly this country figured only as a borrower, but in recent years has repeatedly participated, In, the floating of foreign loans, notably those made by Japan during the Russian war. By some It Is taken as an Indication that New York will ultimately be the financial center of th world. It Is undoubtedly true that this country, and New York as its great money cen ter, will become more and more a factor, although present tendencies are against any one city absolutely dominating world finances. Until modern days some one city has been the dominating money power of the world. Venice, Oenoa, Lisbon. Amsterdam and London in turn have occupied that position. London even now Is unquestionably the greatest financial center, but Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Amsterdam In Europe and New York are all to be reckoned with In world finance and It Is possible to float large governmental loans In either of these centers without draw Ing upon the others. This greater distribution of International financier ing has both a steadying and a dis quieting effect upon International af fairs. Divergent financial interests in Turkey have notably been a source of friction, yet at the same time have preserved the integrity of th empire and held off th long-predicted Balkan conflagration. France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States each have large In terests in China and the new loan, which has been th cause of so much controversy, is wanted simply as a lever to promote trade interests and to strengthen the hold of th respective nations In the celestial empire. With the growing unrest In China there is every indication that it will soon sup plant Turkey as th most troublesome International patient from which from time to time we may look for many complications. A Life Insurance Anniversary. The present week will witness the observance by the Equitable Life As surance society of Its fiftieth anniver sary. The oldest New York company antedates It only sixteen years and but a few companies In this country are older. The fact that the Equitable Is now under the presidency of Paul Morton, a former Nebraskan, gives this occasion a special Interest to us all. There are today In the United States several companies carrying over $1,000,000,000 of life risks and practically all of this business has been built up within fifty years and four-fifths of it within the last twenty-five years. Life Insurance Is a modern evolution of the Idea of sav ing and particularly of protecting families against the death of the bread winner. No other single enterprise ever devised by man has done so much In this line as life lusurance and no other class of monetary Institutions touches so directly so many American homes. Not even the thousands of banks have a direct financial relation to so many different people ns the va rious forms of life insurance com panies and associations. The dis bursements on policies of several of the larger companies exceed the div idends of any railroad corporation in the United States. While life Insurance is hot peculiar to the United States, In no other coun try In the world does it reach the masses as here, and when the extent and universality of their business is considered It is not strange that everything connected with the man agement of the companies attracts Im mediate and careful public attention and that the management is held to such strict accountability, both by the law and the policyholders. Steamships Aiding Exporters. The big ocean steamship companies have entered upon a comprehensive campaign to increase and facilitate In ternational trade not only by furnish ing means of transportation, but by Intelligent effort to bring buyer and seller together. Through their agents they are collecting Information from all lands of the needs and best meth ods of supplying them, the companies' agents acting as forwarding agents for the shipper at foreign seaports. Primarily, the aim of the steamship companies Is, of course, to increase their own business, but this does not minimize the benefit their services may be to the manufacturer seeking a wider field for his product. The plan means. In many Instances, one less Intermediary between seller and con sumer and therefore less danger of misunderstandings. What Is more im portant, it alms to put manufacturers and exporters in touch with markets where they could not afford to retain agents of their own, opening prac tically every ocean port of the world to them through one or more of the steamship companies. Through the medium of consular re ports and the steamship companies there Is no reason why any manu facturer who desires foreign trade cannot secure readily and without price all the required Information re garding available markets, trade con ditions and cost of transportation and build up a foreign commerce in case he can meet competition In price, terms, suitability and attractiveness of good 8. Human Side of Big Enterprises. When he declared In an interview that it was the design of the big cor poration which be represents to keep on good terms with Its employes and have them loyal to its Interests, Julius Kruttschnltt voiced a trend of modern Industry. The time is not far dis tant when big corporations cared little or nothing what their employes thought of It, depending upon fora men, superintendents and other inter mediaries to get results. Many cor porations practice the same system to day, but on every hand Is evidence that the progressive employers take a different view. The highest personal service can neither be bought nor forced and Its greatest valu is in emergencies, wben more Is required than can reasonably be expected. In addition the loyal and contented em ploye Is an asset every day In tbe year. The methods of securing loyalty and personal Interest of employes in the affairs of employers are varied, among them profit-sharing, Inducements to buy stock or Interests in the business, making working conditions healthful and pleasant and so forth, all of which are being thoughtfully considered by progressive employers of labor, and the further removed th employe may be from the head of the concern by reason of distance or large number of persons employed the more neces sary to success is loyalty of the em ploye. Enlightened self-interest is doing more than all tbe fulmlnatlons of doctrinaires to bring about a better understanding between the classes and better conditions for labor. Governor Sheldon's democratic ap pointee to the supreme bench, against whom the democratic fulmlnatlons were so vigorously directed, Is to be accepted for a place on the nonpar tisan democratic Judiciary ticket. An other illustration of what tbe whirligig of politics produces in a short space of time. Much ado Is being made over the renunciation by a Portuguese prince of bis rights to th thron in order to wed an Americas) girl. Aa h Is ar- oral degrees removed from the suc cession and his prospective bride fig ures her fortune by the millions he Is not making such a sacrifice. Seattle papers Insist that J. Ham Lewis would make an Ideal man for the Job of shah of Persia. Just why Seattle should want to get J. Ham out of the country Is not apparent, for up to date he has been harmless and everybody has fun with his whis kers. Omaha shows up on the weekly bank clearings table with a percentage of Increase greater than any other city of Its class with the exception of Seat tle, where an exposition boom Is In progress. From a business stand point Omaha is doing tolerably well. A company has been Incorporated In New York to carry freight and pas sengers by the airship route. The In corporation of the company Is no evi dence, however, that It will seriously compete with the railroads for some time to come. True, the democrats In the city council promised an occupation tax even sooner than did the republicans, but It Is also to be noted that no occu pation tax was forthcoming while the council was overwhelmingly demo crats. If a French aviator has really suc ceeded In flying across the English channel we may expect John Bull to sit up and take notice. Ready for the Snapshots. Indianapolis News. Argentina and Bolivia are now appar ently so near war that they are about ready to receive bids for the moving pic ture concession. Rvldent from the Roar. Washington Post. It would seem that President Taft had succeeded in getting well under the epi dermis of some of those who fancied their hldea were thoroughly protected. An Averaae Percentage, St. Paul Dispatch. John D. Rockefeller has given $112,G6,000 to colleges and other Institutions of learn ing and research. Still, his percentage Isn't any higher than that of the day laborer who puts his occasional dime In the Salva tion army's contribution box. A Strangle far Bread. Philadelphia Record. Reduced to the simplest terms, the strike at McKee'a Rocka Is a struggle for daily bread. Contrary to scriptural Injunction, this Pressed Steel Car company has n- dertaken to muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn, and the. ox has kicked. Taft In a -Nrir Light. Boston Olobe. There Is steel behind the sweet smile of the president. The apparent sunny com pliance is backed by firmness. Under gen tle manners and playful humor exists an Intrepid determination. The present chief magistrate of the United States doea not sacrlfloe principle to politeness nor stood manners to pertinacity. Harrlman Ioadlngr I'p. flan Francisco Chronicle. Now that Edward II. Harrlman has taken to a diet of five light meals a day, Including two bottles of beer, It may be expected that other captains of Industry who have had time to make fortunes, but not to eat, will follow suit. Perhaps we shall even get around to the English cus tom of having afternoon tea and cake be tween transactions. That would be an English Invasion which - might be con sidered an offset to our reoent commercial assault. Omar's Silent Late. Philadelphia Record. If Omar Khayyam were still turning out quatrains with the Invaluable assist ance of the late Mr. Fltxgerald there might be some Inspiration for his muse in the political affalra of his country. But the chances are that with a Jug of wins, cooled by a purling stream; a narglleh, soothing him with Its gentle bubbling, and with occasional visions of a hourl, he would refuse to tak any Interest In par llamentarlanlsm of constitutionalism, and a change of shahs would affect him less than a change of Jugs. The Honl va tbe Porketbook. Hartford (Conn.) Courant. In his brief speech against the proposed amendment to the constitution to make possible the levying of an Income tax In case of great national need, Congressman MoCall of Massachusetts declared on the floor of the house that compelling a man to report faithfully what his Inoome has been amounts to calling on him to "lay bare the Innermost recesses of his soul." Is It In th Innermost recesses of their souls that the people of Massachusetts keep their treasure chestsT We have our opinion of the man who cannot distinguish between his soul and hta pocketbook. CUT OCT WEAK BANKS. IV Reason Why They Bhoald Be Sup ported by th Sfongr. Wall Street Journal. Th president of th Wisconsin State Bankers' association says that during the last five yeara ndt a dollar has been lost by a depositor In a Wisconsin bank. There does not seem to be any ground on such a record aa this for th guaranteeing of deposits. Th fact Is that Wisconsin has outgrown th necessity for making strong banks bear the burdens of the weaker ones. Weak banks have no right to exist, and If they were eliminated, as they should be, when they fall below th standards of aafe banking practice, th excuse for a law guaranteeing deposits would be wholly wanting. A weak bank In th financial system of any state haa no more right to continue In business than has a weak bridge In a public highway. The duty of the public authorities and of publlo opinion In th one case Is the same as In th other. Once an element of weakness haa devel oped, th defect in the structure Is to be remedied without delay, so as to make It capable of bearing the full weight of Its proper burden, or the thing should be closed up. The weak bank takes away legitimate business from th bank that Is safe and does Injury to the business as a whole by spreading general distrust. It should therefore be put out of existence with no less expedition than we put out a fir or block up a highway or suspend trafflo on a tumblcd-down bridge. This Is not a case In which sentiment. social standing of officials or hesitation to sacrifice an old Institution, that has outlived Ita usefulness, ran be considered. If a bank Is weak It has either got to strengthen Itself or go. The machinery of the law cannot be Invoked too speedily, If state bank officera, federal officials and bankera, generally, will stick to old fashioned standards of banking honor, and eachew temptations, they need not have uawla laws forced upon them. Around New York Miopia th Com at of rife as 8Wa fat th Oreat Aaxarloaa Metre rolls frem Day to Day. Omaha's Ginger club, boosters of the block 500. can get several gingery tips on how to Illuminate and decorate by looking up the plans for th transformation of rifth avenue. New York. The widening of the famous highway of wealth and fashion comes first and then the Im proved lighting facilities. With a few ex ceptions all of the structures from Twenty-sixth to Forty-seventh street have un dergone the necessary paring processes. Old-fashioned stoops have been lifted gently apart by derricks, the pavements have been extended back to the building line and had seven and a halt feet been shorn away so as to give a net Increase of fifteen feet to the width of the road way. The present lamposts are to be height ened three feet and 60 per cent more of these light bearers are to be added. Each of the posts will bear two aro lights, equivalent to about two thousand candles as contrasted with the present 900-candle power lights. The posts are of that grace ful and artistic design which have come to be known all over the world as the "Fifth Avenue style." The Illumination to be obtained from the lights suspended from them will be sufficient to make the avenue as light as dny long after the sun has disappeared. The posts are to be twenty-five feet In height and the bottoms of the globes will be eighteen feet above the level of the street. The city will do Its part well but the effect Is to be heightened by the lighting of the stores. It has been the custom, as a survival of the old days when the avenue was scarcely used for business purposes, for the mer chants to close down their shades at night. Window displays may now be seen In parts of the avenue. It Is now proposed, and many of the members of the association have already approved the plan, that al stores and art galleries and suoh places be brilliantly Illuminated Until 11:30 o'clock or midnight. In that section known as "Picture Lane," on account of the display of many paint ings and works of art, It has been sug gested that the galleries be not only Illum inated but even kept open at night, so that the public may have an opportunity at leisure to examine the artistic interiors. Police Lieutenant "Bull" McCarthy, peer of "Big Bill" Devery in the handling of Manhattanlsms," has at last explained the reason for the Intricate mate of streets and alleys which makes up New York be low Orand street. "It's an exciting thing to try to find one's way downtown here." said a visitor to the Oak street station. where Lieutenant McCarthy Is on duty, the other night. "Well, you see, It's this way, answered the lieutenant. "This town was first settled by the Dutch, according to what I hear. All them fellows, as you Know, are natural born grocerymen. Well, when they landed each one of them wanted to have a store -on a corner, and for bus! ness reasons they made streets wherever they needed them for a corner store. Of course, It'B all built up around here now, but that's how it was." Lawyer Moses H. Grossman was a foot taller when he emerged from the Far Rocka way police court one day last week. Eva Tanguay, the irrepressible, had kissed Moses right upon the mouth, right In the presence of the court and right under the nose of Magistrate Oilroy, who had adjudged her Innocent of violating the Sun day theatrical law, at Morrison's music hall, Sunday night. Miss Tanguay played to a full court room, for It had been heralded far and wide that she was to tell a few thlngB about prudes and the Ilka when put on trial. Mr. Grossman had an easy time of It convincing the magistrate that Miss Tan guay really did nothing to shock the re ligious sentiments of Far Rockaway when she appeared In tights. When the court's Judgment was announced the fair Eva stooped, turned Moses' face up and gavo him a smack that sounded like th report of a rocket. When asked If that were part of the fee, Moses blushed and retorted: "No, a gratuity." In one small but Insignificant department of Its work, says a writer In the American Magaxlne, Christ church actually strikes down Into a real problem of th tene ments: coal. It has a message of helpful ness about coal. Coal Is ordinarily sold to poor families by the basket and the profits to th dealer are extortionate; It Is on way of bleeding the poor. So Christ church has a ooal club of about 100 women who pay In 10 cents or more a week. The club buy Its coal in quantities and each member Is assigned her particular share, thus eliminating the extortionate small dealer. Th club Is wholly self-support ing a thoroughly democratic Institution. A little common good, a little brotherllness has her crept Into th coal buslnesa of th west aid. I wonder what would be th result of more such co-operation, let us say In the making of clothing, the buying of groceries, th ownership of tenements T Th rich people of the uptown churches. Indeed, have th poor on their conscience as never before. To meet the condition they have built Institutional churches a good Idea, so far as It goes. . They are willing to pay a large proportion of the expenses of maintenance, or even all of th expenses; they are willing that the Institutional churohea should be finer than their own churches; they will even go down and help with th clubs, classes and Sunday schools. In all these superficial things, In th singing and praying, they are willing to co-operate; but that Is as far as they have got at present. There th co-operation stops short I A woman passenger on a trolley car In Brooklyn recently tried to get th con ductor's attention Just as th car arrived at Borough hall, which Is a large transfer station. Finally succeeding, she called that ah wanted a transfer, "You should have asked for It when you paid your fare," replied tfi conductor. "I want a transfer," repeated the woman, evidently not understanding. "It's too lat now. Transfers are given only when the far Is paid," announced th conduotor. "Then atop th car," said th passenger. Th bell rang and the car stopped. When the woman was fairly In the street she turned to the conductor and holding a nickel In hr fingers toward him she said: "I have not paid a fare yet," then turned and walked away. The conductor Joined In th laugh that followed and remarked, "Guess that's on on me." "Or on th company," added a passenger. Hot Air I'ader Galf Presaare. Houston (Texas) Post.

C.ROWISO LAND 1U tC.EB. ImprfnlTf Lesaon of the Latest Hash far Indian l.aad. Kansas City Journal. An Impressive lesson as to the rapidly dwindling areas of public Isnds open for homeetead and the tremendous scramble of people to occupy them. Is given In the scenes that ar being enacted In connec tion with th opening for settlement of the Spokane. Coeur d'Alene and Flathead reservations. At the close of thte first day's registration over 25,000 applications had been filed, and It Is estimated that before the expiration of t,he time limit at least 300.000 applications Will be made for the less than 8,000 homesteads which the three reservations will amount to In the aggregate. Of course, quite a number of these applicants belong to the class of speculators, adventurers and restless spir its who make their applications In the hope of striking a lucky number and sell ing out at a handsome profit. Hut the overwhelming majority of the applicants are undoubtedly genuine homeseekcts whose dearest desire Is to obtain a farm and to settle down for life In the virgin country which offers them the opportunity to strive for their Ideals of financial In dependence and domestic hsppiness. The scenes that have attended these openings of government lands in various parts of th country, even In comparatively bar ren region in Utah, clearly demonstrates the faot that land hunger Is Increasing rapidly In the public appetite, that the American people are growing more and more to appreciate the value and dignity of proprietorship In the soli of their native land. The ownership of land from the be ginning of time has been considered as the best title to solid respectability among all peoplea, and the American people ap pear to fully realise this fact. When all Is said about the Isolation of farm life and the drudgery Incident to the farmer's labors, the fact remains that th man whose feet ar rooted In the soil, who owns the best of all natural resources for the acquirement of an easy competency has a tremendous advantage over the land less rover who must depend upon his wits for a living, even to reversal of the Scrip tural version of taking In th stranger. A good piece of the earth always has been and always will be the best Investment a man can make in the long run. "riBLIC UK PLEASED." A Itevlsed Version of the Vanderbllt Motto. Philadelphia Press. The energetic promoter who projected and brought to completion the McAdoo tunnels shows a Just conception of the spirit with which a great enterprise should be con ducted In his remark: "We believe in the public be pleaaed policy as opposed to the publlo be dammed policy." This policy o! pleasing the publlo Is essential to the suc cess of a publlo service corporation. If the latter has the people with it success Is most likely to come to It. The opposite pol icy Is not only unwise, but dangerous. It In a natural prelude to ultimate bankruptcy. Corporations everywhere under an Intel ligent management are coming o realize this more and more. It does not pay for any corporation, especially a public service corporation, to make Itself unpopular. It cannot afford to have the people against it. Its business is unfavorably affected by the unfriendly feeling, Its lawsuits are in creased and adverse verdicts against It multiplied. It Is unpleasant, besides, to do business with those whose attltjde Is an tagonistic, critical, hostile. The good will of the public Is a most valuable ally and support for any corporation. PERS0NAL NOTES. In a recent divorce case In rhlladniphln a wife admitted that she thought more of a certain dog than of her husband.

Governor Brown of Georgia refuses to Issue a proclamation permitting peach growers to pick their fruit on Sunday to save it from going to waste, his explana tion being that the executive haa no au thority to suspend a criminal law. A few days ago announcement was made that a Wesley family at Detroit, lineal descendants of John Wesley, had been Converted to Mortnanlsm. Th fact that John Wesley died without Issue may be cited as tending to show th possibility of error. Aa a memorial to George T.

Pittsburg Dispatch. A report of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture sets forth a peculiar situation In the fact that certain drugs which physicians are using less, and with more care, are being used by persons with out medical advice In greater amount. Th facts as stated certainly Indicate a warning against their Indiscriminate and unprofes sional use. The drugs especially referred to are th coal tar products phenacetin, acetanllld and anllpyrln. That these are drugs of medical value for certain cases Is not dis puted. Hut their toxic properties are such, especially In depressing the action of th heart, that fifteen years ago a report to the British Medical association attributed evil results to their use In excessive and Injudicious doses. Since then physician have employed them only In extreme case and with the greatest caution. It is reported by the Agricultural depart ment's Investigators with reference to pure foods and drugs that their unauthorised use is increasing, especially for ihn relief of headaches. It Is well established that It Is a dangerous practice, from which fatal results have often followed. No one doubts the value of these drugs when their use is governed by professional knowledgo and caution; but the habllul resort to them is akin In its effects to the similar use of cocaine or morphine.
