If it Is "an outrage" for Omaha folks to agitate for annexation of South Omaha, what 'is it for South Omaha to agitate against annexation with Omaha? The deputy food commissioner re quests druggists to put up stronger solutions. Citizens who use lime water as a steady beverage must not and shall not be deceived. Anyone with spare time hanging heavy on his hands may find amusing diversion practicing up on the primary ballot which tho late democratic legis lature inflicted upon us. Tho State Board of Equalisation is giving Omaha and South Omaha bank stock a boost on the assessment roll. Those steadily Increasing bank clear ings evidently made an Impression.

Almost from the moment of Secre tary Ballinger'i appolntmeot there have been rumon and Irresponsible cbargea affecting the attitude of the secretary to land cases pending In hla department. At Spokane thla loose talk la centered Into a definite charge of sinister purpoae of reatorlnt to en try land said to Include water and power rights In Montana which had been withdrawn under President Roosevelt. Mr. Balllnger has openly held, aa he still doea, that the development of the western states and the welfare of the people generally would be better served by Inviting settlement and stimulating private enterprise than by keeping the public domain unoccupied and idle. He ha also shown that the orders of his predecessors withdraw ing certain tracta from entry were ex perimental in their nature to give time to investigate Into the require ments of the altuatlon, and that upon such inquiry it has been found that the withdrawals were, in many in stances, greater than they need have been. Thla serious arraignment of a cabi net official will not be prejudged by the public, which has full faith in the Judgment and penetration of the pres-i ldent and hla advisers. When more is known of the facts and when the pres ident ' acts the public will decide whether it will look upon the affair as a scandal or a mare's nest. It will be more Inclined to suspend Judgment because it is familiar with luxuriant growth of quarrels and charges and countercharges In the more thinly set tled new states. Lasting" Influence. Though always engaged in commer cial undertakings. Colonel Albert Pope, who has Just died, was endowed with an Insight ao acute and a spirit so broad that, though he was not lucky in his later years, the whole country realizes that a great Ameri can has passed away and the work of a great benefactor has ceased. Colonel Pope before other men saw the possibilities of bicycle manufac ture and as quickly saw the benefit and necessity of good roads in a coun try of vast wealth and infamously bad roads. It was not a gleaming dis covery, but the energy with which he devoted himself to the propaganda produced one of the tremendous move ments of his period. He made ready the way for the automobile in Amer lea. Hia labors were potent In creat ing among the general population a desire for the advantages of smooth and hard highway surfaces. His was a great personality, whose Influence will for a century be plain on the face of the land. Talk of a Democratic House. Democratic congressmen early, not to say prematurely, threw out their banners and opened the campaign for next year's election. Like all demo cratic balloons of recent years, this one soon began to lose Its excessive rotundity. Whence Is to come the majority which was the prematurely boastful Dredlction of the democrats? The party cannot make gains in the south worth counting in advance beaause there is no fluid vote to move from one side to the other, and no question which deeply touches the south, and besides that the south is democratic now. The other proline source or democratic congressmen, tho populous centers of the northeast, are reasona bly contented with the administration and cheerful over the revival of indus try which closely attends the operation of the new tariff. There is no sign anywhere of serious discontent with the present condition of government. The condition in the house rather seems to be that next fall will bring a successful campaign for republican candidates, if not a considerably In creased majority. Off years are not what they used to be. Make the Beit of It. It is plain that the Interests af fected will not be relieved, for the present at least, from the burdens of the 8 o'clock closing law by any in terposltion of the lower courta to defer its enforcement pending a decision of the court of last resort on the ques Hons of constitutionality that have been raised. That the 8 o'clock closing law has already worked serious injury, not only upon liquor dealers, but upon a great many legitimate business enter prises that are involved indirectly, or by reflex action, will be generally ad mitted, but the only course apparently open to them now Is to make the best of the situation and look to the fu ture for readjustments that will pro vide offsets, and possibly mitigation The flagrant injustice of the o'clock closing law, so far as Omaha is concerned, consists in Its projection in the middle of a license year, cut ting off a third of the hours of bust ness which were permitted when the license was issued, and leaving those who had paid the 11,000 fee no redress for this arbitrary deduction If the test case on the law goes u to the supreme court, and in th course of time should be decided ad verse to the validity of the law, would still leave the interests affected to pocket their losses. The Bee did not favor the 8 o'clock closing law, but, on the contrary, be lleved that the Slocumb law, aa previously stood, leaving it to eac community licensing the sale of liquor to flx the hours for itself, waa ampl In the way of regulation, but whether this measure of homo fule will -be restored will depend upon future da- ekpments. The Poiy Garden. In another column we reprint some f the personal comment Indulged by ebraska contemporaries on the edi tor of The Bee Just to let our read- rs share their perusal. How the la bored effort of the democratic organs to incite an insurrection in republican ranks strikes us may bo illustrated by the substance of a letter addressed by the editor of The Beo to the editor of one of these critic papers ten days go, as follows: My attention ha been called to a com ment in jour taper directed at me pcr- eonally, which would Indicate that you ave some kind of a grievance of which have no knowledge. My only part In the recent convention whs aa a member or a committee or seven on resolutions, and the report of that com mittee waa unanlmoua. On that commit- ee, with equal voice and vote, waa At torney Gr-neral Thompaon of your own town, and surely you would not accuse him of accepting dictation from me. I am not running for office, but am In- teieated in reinstating the republicans In complete control In Nebraska. The demo crats have an Idea they can make political capital for themselves and breed dlsseh- on among the republicans by making ma ut to be a aelf-conatltuted "csar" over ie republicans, and a few republican newspapers like yours seem to fall In with he democratic game. I sincerely trust. however, that the republican party may ba big enough and broad enough to continue to hold both of us. An observing professoi- notes that summer term at the University of Chicago Is prolific of marriages. Teachers' conventions are famous in the same way and for the same rea son. Theodore Roosevelt's Justly re nowned remarks on race suicide are as naught when compared with that which brings together large numbers of young teachers of both sexes at the end of the school year. College summer terms and conventions of teachers call for encouragement. If it all were only courting, it would still belong among national blessings. Champ Clark's boast of democratic unity In congress is the text of much comment in party papers, which omit the modification that the democrats in congress had next to nothing to do. They bitterly complained because Payne would not give them a chance and, again, because the senate finance committee reported without taking them into its confidence. Almost any thing could be united when paralyzed and puzzled. Yet the democrats were not united. The Clark argument seems to flatten under Its own weight. Of course the corn belt spreads in time for Omaha to celebrate. Corn is hot weather and warm soil plant. Missouri once drained some black land and raised-112 bushels of corn to the acre. Virginia drained some or the same kind and reached over 100 bush els. The south is certain to be a corn country when it learns that tho lazy business of raising cotton is compara tively unprofitable. The north must learn to raise corn at a big profit, but soil and climate will do it for the south. President Taffs work on "The Winning of the South" has not been announced, but is in course of prepa ration, under that or some other name. The race of heroes is not gone. By the time the young south and tho young west, united with a president who makes no mistakes, get through with the old gray wolves, certain great chapters of history will have been written; perhaps not the least Impor tant one on "The Revolution in the South." I In their demand on Governor Shal lenberger for the removal from office of Mayor Dahlman and the Omaha police commissioners the Anti-Saloon league officers suggest that the gov ernor should remove them because they do not like tho governor. This argument is indeed novel and naive. If Governor Shallenberger were to execute his office on his likes and dis likes, or on the likes and dislikes of other people for him, he would be kept busy. The city electrician reports that there is enough money in the lighting fund to put on sixty more arc lamps for the remainder of the year. Very' likely, but there is no compulsion about spending the money just be cause it Is there. One of the high brows announces that the drama of the coming season will be marked by more thought than usual. We note that "The College Widow" opens to a brilliant engage ment in Denver. In Kentucky a colonel advises a monopoly trust in burley tobacco. We take It that he is a democrat of special brand. His doctrine, though, is not so distant but that he might get into the Tom Johnson or Bill Murray group. Refusal of the district court to set aside the 8 o'clock closing law aa un constitutional must be further evi dence that a Judge elected aa a repub lican does not necessarily carry par tisanship with him on the bench. Governor Shallenberger and hla official family are off for tho Pacific coast, and Lieutenant Governor Hope well will hold down the lid during his absence. We salute the acting gov ernor!

New Tork Timea. The tide of prosperity la already setting in all over the country. From every section and nearly every trad cornea the report of confidence restored and an eager looking forward to the good timea that are sure to come with th resumption of business after the summer. Kven now, when the vacation season Is still on, the commercial activity of the country Is greater than usual, and the wholesalers find a much larger number of buyers visiting th Important centers and a remarkable willingness among them to place ordera. Reports from New England show that th settlement of the tariff has assured a period of development for the manufactur ers. In particular the admission of hides free haa encouraged the shoe men, and the heavy duties on woolens and cottons will help the textile manufacturers. Th south rejoices that. Just as It began to take on a new Industrial life, It has shown that it can weather a financial storm. It has passed through th panic period successfully and it looks forward to a time of expansion such as It has never yet known. Th weat thinks of ita crops. They are expected this year to pass the 18,000,000,000 mark and to be worth nearly 1326, 000.000 mora than last year. With prices and stocks what they are, the farmers see nothing but prosperity before them, and th millers think that they have now an opportunity for reauming thalr export trade. Other Industries are In equally healthful condition. The miners in general are ac tive and feel lhat the stringency of the last year or two has shaken out most of the wild-cat achemes which Injured the general reputation of their business. The coal own ers expect that a general Increase of indus trial activity will cause a revival In the de mand for bituminous coal. The Iron works find that ordera are coming In more freely and that tha railroads especially are plac ing more orders and Inquiries for struc tural material show" that building is look ing up. Lumbermen also watch the re sumption of large schemes with hop and foresee In th taking up again of public Improvements a generous demand for their commodity. Railroad construction will. It Is expected be carried on In th near future at almost the same rate aa before tha panic. More over, a very healthy feature ia the steady Improvement of railroad terminal and the equipment of the roads with proper signal tng systems. The undertaking of such work on which there Is no Immediate return shows that the companies feel "that their returna are satisfactory enough to permit them to lay aside large amount of capital for the permanent Improvement of their track. Hot Weather Safeguard. Hampton's Magazine. Safety from the danger of heat pros tratlnn may be almost positively secured by observing the following rules: Make your work as light as possible. Wear only th lightest clothing and as few garmenta a th law allow. Take a cold bath every morning and a tepid on every afternoon. .

V ashington Life bort Sketches of taetdeat aad Uplsodsa that Mark th Progress ef Xvaata at th XatloasJ OapltaL Perhaps there Is no relation between the unseemly excess of hot air In circulation Just now and the extra session of con gress, but the weather man, who Is onto his Job, In fashioning his tablea of "mean" temperatures can hardly ignore the output of ,77,000 published words at both ends of the capltol aa factors In th esse. It should be remembered also, that only on end of th capltol was In active eruption at a time. Had both ends worked together, the consequences appals speculation. The national treasury, too, perspired to th ex tent of $4,000,000, and countless corporate bodies nearly as copiously. "I had prepared a statement showing what th extra ses sion wa going to cost the treasury," said Senator Curtis of Kansss, "but did not get quite to the speechmaklng stage of It. If I had, It would have prolonged the session some more and cost the government more money. As near as I could make out It was costing Uncle Sam about 1150.000 a week at the very lowest estimate." Congress waa In aesslon this time twenty week. Twenty times 1150,000 Is $3,000,000. Add to this sum the thousands of Items of cost that the government must pay, long after the session Is ended. but which will be either directly or Indirectly caused by the meeting of lawmakers, and the gov ernment may consider Itself fortunate If It gets Inside of the M.000,000 mark. It Is a conservative estimate to flgur the money pent in Washington and in getting to Washington by the lobylsta at another million. Champagne flowed like water while they were laboring with the congressmen; their hotel and automobile bills were of the first magnitude, and the fees they gave to help ful assistants would probably aatonlah a layman to see. Adding the million spent by the lobbyists to the 14,000.000 to be paid by the government, you'll arrive at the 16, 000.000 mark without stretching the prob abilities one cent' worth. A from 700 to SOO people are killed, twice aa many Injured, and an Immense amount of property destroyed by lightning every year. Prof. Henry, of the weather bureau think more attention should be given to protection from! lightning. The professor has recently prepared a paper on this sub ject, and It has been published as Farmers' Bulletin No. 367 of the United States Lie partmenl of Agriculture. In explaining what lightning Is and how to prevent buildings from being struck, he gives an Instructive elementary discussion Of electricity, con ductors and nonconductors, positive and negative electrification, and electricity in thunder storms. It Is the practical part of this paper however, which will appeal most strongly to the farmers of the country. Prof. Henry shows how lightning rods that are "in expensive yet effective" may be put up by anybody. The following is his list of the necessary materials: Enough galvanised Iron telegraph wire to serve for th rod, a pound of galvanized Iron staples to hold the wire In place, a few connecting tees. and a pound of aluminum paint. He says: "While iron is not so good a conductor as copper. It Is less likely to cause danger ous aide flashes, and It also dissipates the energy of the lightning flash more effect ively than does the copper." The methods of putting up tha rods Is explained and Illustrated. This bulletin Is for free distribution. 1 Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the Agricultural department and guardian of the pure food laws, has started a crusade against embalmed cucumbers and gherkins Inoculated with alum. He assert that withered and half spoiled cucumber are given generous hypodermic of alum, and under it magic Influence the once soft, soggy and generally disreputable plckl of commerce is plumped out, rejuvenated and becomes so pleaBing to the eye that few persons can resist ita alluring attractive ness. Although the board of food and drug. In spection haa had the question of th use of alum aa a preservative under consider tlon for several weeks, no decision baa yet been given. Meanwhile, Dr. Wiley la working assldu ously against the embalmed pickle and the alleged unscrupulous undertakers. Alum, he saya, Is one of the lesser known pre servatlvea, Ita use being mor circumscribed than that of benioate of aoda, borax, for maldehyde and other chemicals on which manufacturers wax fat while th consum ers grow lean. "What benxoat of aoda la to the decay ing tomato and borax to -embalmed beef alum 1 to the limp and lifeless cucumber, aaya Dr. Wiley. "The public doea not ap preciate the woea and mtaery concealed beneath the verdant Jacket of th Innocent looking pickle." Th new vault In the treasury for enter gency currency has now been completed and wagon load after wagon load of bills has been deposited in it. This vault 1 a triumph of th afemakera' art and In genuity. It la considered to be proof against fire, earthquake and thieves. It coat 145,000. It t two stories high, with Interior wall of harveylsed steel, half an Inch thick, all incased In maaonry and cement which la more than two feet thick. Th chief protection to the vault lie be tween the cement and the steel wall This ia a network or wire so connected with electric bell that even If robber could get to th vault, a soon as any Inatrument whatever cut through th walla to tha wire, ther would be an alarm given In the watchman's room, just a short distance away. Th electric ap paratus la under conatant surveillance There 1 a "busier" attached to it whloh la put In operation automatically every fifteen minute, day and night. If the algnal wires were to get out of gear in any way, the busier would not work, and th watchman would Immediately report the fact. Inside the vault there ar rack for th reception of the money, and In there It Is stacked up like cordwood 1500,000,000 of It. The roof of the place la on a level with the pavement, and It ha a perfect system of ventilation by means of suction fans which ar put Into operation th moment the door is opened. This door is not th least interesting part of th treaaury'a big vault. It weighs several tons and works on ball bearings, so that, despite Its eight, a child could almost awing It open There ar four combinations on the door, and these ar known to four men, two combinations to on set of two, and two to th other. Thus at least two cf them must ba present when th door Is opened I.Ike all other modern safea thla one Is equipped with the time-lock device. You can't enter through the vault door without the alarm going off. Each day th watch man s room ia supplied with a schedule showing st what hour tha vault will be opened and at what hour It will be rloaed There la but on passage down to it, and that ia by meana of a tiny hydraullo ele vator. protected by a strong Iron door, whlc opens at th desk of the chief of th division of issue, who keep th key. So ther th money I, apparently aa aafe aa money could be. where moth doea not corrupt and where thieve cannot break through and ateal.

Evidently there's going to be a struggle to eliminate Rosewater from the political dictatorship of the republican party In Ne braska, as well as an effort to us Hurkeit' record on the tariff in retiring him from the senate. ' l.ove. 1 Columbus Telegram (dem.). No politician ever scored a more complete victory than that which Victor Rosewater won at the date convention. Certain it publican leaders had offered the prophecy that the state convention would declare em phatically against the Rosewater program. but when the time came for the fight the Rosewater opposition dwindled to a minus quantity. Rosewater did not win the fight alone. He waa ably assisted by all the patrooag power which Senator ,'Burkett wtelda, and with such aaslstance he won all he could ask for from the convention. This meana that th Rosewater program will be the republican program In Ne braska during the ensuing year at least. It means that th Burkett and Rosewater forces will dominate the party as those forces may please to dominate it. Will the program remain in force until tho sena torial contest next year? That Is another question. By that time Rosewater may have a change of heart. By that time he may hav a different candidate for the Burkett senatorial seat. But for th pres entwell, for th present th Rosewater Burkett cavalry la In tha saddle, and with no foe to face upon the republican field. Pltg. Springfield Monitor.
