The Irrigation Congress,
belt-gate.i to the National Irrigation
rongrena abate nothing; of their faith
In the causa for which they meet, but
they are frst) IT enough to concede that
a meeting or congratulation ana euiogy
once a year is not the way to reach the
beat results. This conclusion Is so in
harmony with the general thought of
modern practical organization that
the public Is tafe In believing that the
proposed reorganiiatlon and new con
stitution will work for progress and
Improvement.
Nobody disputes that, with perfec
tion of waterways transportation and
reclamation of arid land by Irrigation,
this nation has in the control of in
terior waters one of Its most stupend
ous and pressing problems. The re
ward is not at all visionary. Reduced
to terms of dollars and cents, It Is the
most certain method of exchanging
small expenditures for vast national
wealth. Taking only a few states,
homes can be provided for more people
than now claim the American name
and more new wealth can be created
than enough for an empire.
The deliberations of the congress,
especially upon subjects which have
an element of controversy, deserve the
closest public attention and should
have a potent Influence on future leg
islation. Redemption of the South.
In a tangible measure, the disap
pearance of bitter and obstinate po
litical feeling In the south during Mr.
Taft's term depends on exchanging
the political harangue for the active
dollar. So said a southern business
man at one of last year's conventions.
It Is a rough, but pertinent, statement.
And the gain of correct and active
business habits depends on the con
tribution of the negro. He has al
ready contributed a decided and In
creasing share. The negro is much
less the politician and more the in
dustrial unit than he waa ten or forty
year ago. Negroes are gregarious,
and do not care to travel In lonely
paths. Negro mugwumps are few, but
there are many thousands in the south
who In their hearts believe that It
would be to their advantage to openly
vote the democratic ticket; and to the
advantage of the republican party
Such a body in such a frame of mind
Is at no great distance from a strong
movement.
Industrially the negro is more po
tent than his general reputation
makes him. There are not only negro
carpenters, but negro contractors; not
only negro plowmen and cotton pick
ers, but wealthy negro farmers. In
every state of the south. All thl
makes for peace and need for each
other; for better politics.
Whatever Mr. Taft's personal pol
icy, the south will be more disposed
to dispense with the leadership of old
style politicians as the present term at
Washington develops its tactful and
sensible conduct of. larger American
affairs.
Opposition.
The reorganized South Omaha Com
mercial club has made public a letter
addressed to the Omaha Commercial
club, which impertinently demands a
cessation of all agitation for consol
idation of the two cities. The letter,
written by the secretary, who Is said
to aspire to a local office, represents
that the reviving talk about, annexa
tion "constitutes an outrage upon the
intelligence of our citlxens and voters'
because they rejected the proposition
a year ago.
We submit there Is no outrage at
all upon any one Involved in the dls
cusslon of annexation by citizens of
Omaha or South Omaha or both cities
Tbe question Is purely one of business
and public policy. Omaha would be
willing to have South Omaha consoll
date with it, providing the consolida
tion is effected before the next census
If consolidation Is not effected before
the next census. Omaha will not fo
a long time care to assume tne our-
dens tbat would be entailed without
compensating benefits. Office-holders
and office-seekers In South Omaha are
expected to be against annexation all
the time, and they will doubtless in
fluence other good people who may be
persuaded to believe that their Inter
ests lie in keeping two separate mu
nicipal corporations with duplicate
cost of administrative machinery. But
we do not believe the home-owning
taxpayer or the every-day cltlsen of
South Omaha will permit their preju
dices to be played on to make them
stand In their own light.
While there Is no way of compelling
South Omaha to come Into municipal
partnership with Omaha, It takes two
to make a bargain, and if South
Omaha insists upon deferring action
too long, It may later find that Omaha
is not ready to negotiate. .
Easy Money.
The payment Into the treasury of an
Incorporation fee of $70,000 for the
filing of the reincorporation articles
of tbe Missouri Pacific railway looks
like easy money. That the privilege
of doing business aa a corporation In
Nebraska should be regarded as worth
that much will excite astonishment,
yet the Missouri raclfle evidently be
lleves that refusing to pay and taking
the chance of being outlawed in this
state would cost it still more
The payment of this $70,000 tiling
fee by one of the lesser railroads
doing business In Nebraska shows
what sources of revenue might have
been tapped when other big corpora
tlons enjoying the right of eminent
domain and privileges of common car
riers secured the protection of the law
without being compelled to pay in
corporation fees on tbe same scale
It is not likely thst the state treasury
will have a windfall like tnls every
month, or even every year, but still
the possibilities of future revenue to
the state from this source are not to
bo lightly estimated.
Experts in Evidence.
Doth Senator Aldrich and the In
surgents say that there is already a
tariff commission. The one to which
Mr. Aldrirh excepts is composed of the
agents of the importers, the trained
i pert s and talkers whose trade it Is
o be familiar with the Qualities, costs,
manufacturing processes and new
methods to be found In the various
branches of foreign and domestic pro
duction. The other Is the similar class
of men who represent American mills
and factories. Both are called lobby
ists by critics and experts by friends.
This Is one of the cases in which
both sides of a controversy are at
least partly right. The experts of
American manufacturers were at hand
from the tlciw when the house com
mittee cn ways and means began its
hearings a year ago until the bill was
signed by the president. Senator Aid
rich was In frequent consultation with
thera. They' were within call when
his floor lieutenants were In charge of
the committee side of the debate in
the senste. They helped to write the
bill and supplied data for the debate.
It Is equally true that the other side
depended to a great extent on tbe ex
perts of tbe importers and selling
agents. In two of bis great speeches
Senator Dolllver admitted getting data
from that source. Marshall Field and
company were the chief opponents of
ex-Congressman Llttauer In the glove
contest. Ralph D. Cole, the "kid con
gressman" from northwestern Ohio,
quoted fully from Joseph R. Grundy,
representative of the woolen mills In
Washington during tho extra session.
This use of data Is not reprehensi
ble on either side unless doctored fig
ures and false statements are em
ployed. The experts are usually re
spectable and successful business men.
They are the best and most reliable
sources of Information. They may be
biased, as a lawyer Is biased, but are
not knowingly untruthful. If mem
bers of 'congress did nothing worse
than consult manufacturers or import
ers In a tariff debate the country
would have no serious complaint.
We take the following headline
from a front page article in a Lincoln
paper:
More Drunks Than Last Tear On Ex
ciseman Saya Conditions Are Not ao Good
Under Prohibition Excise Board Meets to
Devise Nw Meana of Holding Down Liquor
Sales.
We thought Lincoln had gone dry
and was fast approaching the millen
nium of municipal perfection. Must
be some mistake somewhere.
As reported In the dispatches. Pres
ident Taft's message to the Irrigation
congress "expressed deep sympathy
with the cause." If the president's
attention were called' to the drouth
that afflicts Nebraska after 8 o'clock
be would doubtless extend his sympa
thy to Include the cause of Irrigation
In this state.
Senators Smoot and La Follette
have Just traveled on the same car
between Washington and Chicago,
without a word of disagreement. This
might be called either a triumph of
ethical culture or an exhibition of
utter weariness on both sides. Good
behavior and a tired feeling may often
be mistaken for each other.
According to the governor of Wash
ington, his state has 200,000,000,000
feet of merchantable timber. That
Is no reabon for wasteful cutting or
extortionate protection, but it enables
their constituents to think more
gently of Smith and Simmons, the
democratic senators who zealously
guard home Industries.
When the city authorizes the erec
tion of fences In the streets around
buildings In course of construction It
should protect the public against
further encroachments of the billboard
nuisance. - Billboards erected on pri
vate property are bad enough without
putting more of them up on property
belonging to the city.
Ex-Governor Sheldon voted yes on
resolution calling on Governor
Shallenberger to oust the Omaha po
lice commissioners. When he still ex
erclsed executive power, Governor
Sheldon voted "no"- on all resolutions
to oust his own police commission ap
polntees.
No wonder Governor Shallenberger
Is spending so much time excurslonlng
to other states after having nailed
down the 8 o'clock lid on Nebraska
Some of us, however, have not the
time nor the money to go away from
home ao often.

Policeman Frank Duffy Is one of tho
shining lights of tho Now York force
When a mob of frensled Italians rushed
upon tho driver of a wagon which had
run down a child and killed him. Police
man Duffy was left to deal with the sit
uation alone. With odds of a hundred to
ono It was useless to try physical force
with a mob that waa screaming "Lynch
him.." in accents of Stcllllan anger. It
was not a subject for treatment with
pair 01 rista and ona light club. 80 ho
mounted tho wagon and became anakea-
man for tho mob. In heated Italian, en
rlched by the Imagery of Erin, ho mad
an impassioned appeal. He would lead tho
mob, ho would se that tho drLver was pun
ished. But it must not be In the presence
of women and children. The Italians
cheered him aa tho chief of avengera.
Before the mob knew "where It was at"
they were following tho policeman, driver
and wagon. In this order the procession
marched to the nearest police station. But
tho lynching was run off on a siding. The
mob suddenly found that the leader and
the victim had both' diaappeared, and tho
station polloo were telling them to get busy
and move on.
Although as demur In appearance aa

was In Fifth avenue,awas found to b a
muon bereathered young woman after a
search by customs officers on tho pier.
There was something In thet appearance
of Miss Spiegel's picture hat that first
excited the suspicions of an Inspector, who
reported th fact to Deputy Surveyor John
Racslevlcs.
The lining of Miss 8plegel's hat waa
opened and out fell several of the finest
plumes that have been brought' In fo.'
many a day. Mor wer taken from her
coat, and as the men Inspectors had done
as much as they could to assist tho gov
ernment to collect tbe proper duty, Mlaa
Splegl was taken In hand by women in
spectors and searched in a stateroom on
board the Savoie.
There were feather in her waist and
folds of her Paris-made gown and even
feather In. her stockings. A facetious
inspector said that from all accounts the
young woman waa fully prepared to fly
from the pier as quickly as her baggage
wa examined. Deputy Surveyor Racsle
vlcs decided that Miss Splegl would have
to aettl the natter with the collector of
the port and seised the feathers and
plumes which wer casually valued at j00.

policy holders and also a general campaign
of education In th means of prolonging

Th cause for this activity Is apparent.

As we understand it. In all criminal and

Ther comes th rustling murmur of wind
swept fields of wheat,
Ther com th mystic calling of moun
tain peaks that rise
Until their snowy mantle ar shouldering

Th orchards and th valley, th meadow
lands and all
They send across th distance their low,
Insistent call.

Tho tinkle of the river wher shallows

And toss their foaming Jewels to sparkle
In th sun;
Th mirror lakes ar sending the plashing
of th oar
And tang of pine and hemlock that crowd
along the shores
O, down acroaa the mountains and up
along tne piain
The wind of summer bears us th mur
muring refrain.
It whispers of the loafing In haunt of
sun and shade.
Of watching where the treetops far down

By all tho ailent breetes; It tells of little

Where through th purple twilight the

And with a lilt aa thrilling aa that of fit
