Builders fear a brick famine in Omaha. Still we would rather have busy builders scrambling for brick than busy brick-makers with no build ing in progress to use up their product. Argentina's gracefulness in letting our hides in free is a welcome feature of the tariff record. The South Ameri can republic does not need our hides, but the transaction sounds as well as If it did. Democrats In New York are restor inghe party of Tilden and Cleveland. So they say, and we shall see what they mean. Wasn't It Dan Lamont who said, "I am a democrat but then, Til den is dead?" Omaha's boiler . inspector has just been elected treasurer of tbe newly organized National Association of State and Municipal Boiler Inspection Departments. Anything else lying around loose? The yearly Ule of tbe wealth of the Osage Indians is out again. The inter esting point that an Osage wastes his money faster v than he gets it is omitted.

It is not to his credit, but let us Imi tate the church member who, In a spirit of fair play, called on somebody to suy a good word for the devil. It Is an old etui?" that fits Thaw.) Bryan'i "Roll of Honor." It was to be expected that Mr. Bryan would applaud and glorify the repub lican insurgents for voting against the tariff bill on final passage. But Mr. Bryan has no real sympsthy for the Insurgents. He is only inventing small tricks for cheap uses in a cam paign and does not take Into account the intelligence of men who may have memories and discriminations. All of the republican Insurgents whom he loosely praises are avowed protectionists. Not one has any sym pathy for his prescription of eternal business disorder in graduallittle by little reduction of the tariff to a free trade basis. They and he have noth ing in common in the tariff issue. He couples Mann of Illinois, who refused to vote for the tariff bill because he was committed to a 1 2 a ton rate on paper products, with Dolliver of Iowa, who struck at the central protectionist points of cotton and wool. Mr. Bry an's sudden admiration for that un compromising republican, J. Warren Kelfer, ia as absurd as it is ill-meant. If General Kelfer ever noticed any thing to follow in Mr. Bryan's pro gram, the old soldier never found time to tell about it. It has generally been the case In tariff contests that a few members on each side have objected for one reason of delall or another to the main measure of their party. In thla instance certain republicans chose to go on record to express pub licly their personal disagreement with particular features. Although at vari ance on reduction of certain schedules, they stood about where Mr. Taft stood and apparently were moved by the same convictions. If they are a "Roll of Honor," the president is in all hon esty to be placed in the white light of Mr. Bryan's approval. The logic of his insurgent glorification leads a really straight mind to an out and out Indorsement of President Taft. 'in the Bryan mind the only shred of reason for differentiating between Presldtn Taft and the "Roll of Honor" is that, and this is said with no disre spect to them, the Insurgents naturally Indulged the controversial impulses of a debating body. They have spoken when he, the executive, acted. They refused in certain details to concur in the decision of a party majority. He gripped that parliamentary majority with strong hand and compelled it to yield substantial concessions. To secure actual downward revision of the tariff he did more than any one of the Insurgents, perhaps than all. Every voter, republican and democrat, who reads a newspaper knows that the dig nified and good-tempered man at Bev erly has with the skill of temperate political generalship obtained, to use his own description, the best possible out of a difficult situation. The- in surgents, most of them, were only helping Mr. Taft, if we are to consider the subject in the large. It Is to be Insisted upon that if they have done something which entitles them to a place in a "Roll of Honor" the presi dent should be counted at the head of the list. ' Backward Britons. David Hume and Jonathan Swift were two men who found amusement In deriding the English in the Eight eenth century. It sounds like a pas sage from one of their letters or con versations when we read that "we are displayed a soft, rather backward peo ple. Either we are a people essentially and Incurably inferior or there is something wrong In our training, something benumbing In our atmos phere and our circumstances." Yet thts is what the Imaginative H. O. Wells writes of his countrymen apropos of an airship flight by a Frenchman across the channel. Having adopted tne language and many of the political Institutions of the English, not to speak of a proportion of their blood contributed to the makeup of our nation, we might feel saddened and depressed if we had not heard and read so much of this sort of thing all our Uvea. Tbe English are, and always have been, somewhat Blow of thought, reserved of speech and selfsatisfled of manner, but, when It cornea to doing things, they are not so had. Speaking of war, they Invented the torpedo in common use, and were first to design a big gun ship. They were miserably slow In adopting modern Infantry formation, but military practice is al ways backward, partly because of dog matic habits and portly because of the necessity in field tactics of doing only what men can do In exactitude In large bodies. To do them Justice, the Blow Eng lish, are in no early danger of swift destruction. Tobacco Taxes. For geographical reasons the Louis ville Courier-Journal may be safely consulted as the voice of the tobacco industry. In a late issue that paper profoundly discourses on the tobacco tariff and seems to leave the impress slon that the United States is strictly ethical in giving a little piece of a market in compensation for the big market which we took away when we drove the Spaniards from the Philip pines. Americans, who never cared about smoking Philippine tobacco, may learn to buy enough for the economic needs of the Filipinos. Abstractly all Americans hope that the new tariff will work well for the Little Brown Brother. But the significant point in the Courier-Journal's review Is the hint that If lawgivers wish to deal sharply with the American Tobacco company, no commodity la more easily taxed. Great Britain has no trouble In collecting a tax of over 70 cents a pound, under the new budget 90 cents, while we collect only ( cents, or under the new tariff 8 cents a pound. Tbe revenue-bearing aspect of tobacco, set beside the monopolistic offenslveness of tbe trust to the farmers of Ken tucky, stimulates thought on further legislation. Is Kentucky going to join Senator Beverldge in a crusade against the tobacco trust? Tbo Courier-Journal thinks a much higher rate of taxation could bo Imposed, if skill fully distributed, without affecting the growers. The treasury could com fortably use a few added millions, the growers would not mind much and tbo public would not feel the charge. The Courier-Journal goes thus far In its treatment of the subject. The next step seems to be an alliance with Senator Beverldge to secure a radical reorganization of the tobacco taxes. Two arousers like the Indiana senator and the Courier-Journal would make an issue that nobody could overlook. The coupon business is yet open to discussion and there are others equally promising. Prices of Horses.. A high-pulsed Chicago man, who used to disport himself with some wagons and trotters notifies his friends that he no longer keeps horses, but, for old-time's sake, helps along with the neighborhood horse show, though be and the other members of the associa tion attend in automobiles. "What we want today," he saya, "is speed and we cant get It sitting be hind a horse. People who drive horses tod n y are as much behind the times as we shall be In a few years In automo biles, while our more up-to-date neigh bors are flying over our heads in aero planes." All that sounds like sophistication, it costs more to own a horse today than It did when Axtell fetched $105, 000 and Arlon, $125,000. Automobiles and motor-cycles have not affected the horse market. Motor vehicles are thick In the towns where pavements are good, but the horse has to do the plow ing and the buggy work in the whole country. Axtells and Arlons hart not the ultra fashion, but a horse that cost $125 in 1902 is likely to bring $200 now, and a good pair of mules is worth $400 anywhere in the country. It is a curious fact, but not unaccount able. Raising horses and mules has not kept up with the demand. It did not recover from the panic of 1893 and did not revive aa ordinary industries did. Even as a sport the harness horse fancy Is still alive, though dwindling, It must be confessed. At fairs patron Ized by farmers, the trotting race is an attraction, for the farmers and dwellers in small towns understand horses and the art jf speeding them Automobiles have come to stay, to lm prove and to became cheaper but can no more displace the horse than ocean liners can displace the schooner and the freight boat. Each after Its kind. Horses of average uses have riser In price in the midst of the automobile craze. This big country can use mora horses than It has been raising. Un less it raises more there will be a high-priced scarcity In the market, People may not rave over speed horses but they will have to pay money for the draft breeds and the utility horse which carries on farm work. Another puzzle presented by the freak primary ballot inflicted on Ne braska by our late democratic legisla ture relates to the counting of votes for candidates whose names are writ ten in where no regular filings were made. The law seems to say that no name shall be written in for any office where the same name Is printed on the ballot for that or any other office in any column. The question will arise whether a name written In contrary to this provision of the law will Inval ldate the whole ballot or simply nullify the Tote for that particular office. We can see a whole lot of ballot law liti gation on the horizon. According to our amiable democratic contemporary, all the republican candidates for supreme Judge have dropped every vestige of dignity in presenting their claims for nomination to the voters. The chief difference between republican candidates and democratic candidates is that the former have to' meet eight competitors for three places, while the latter let the wire-pullers fix it up for them In advance so there would be no competi tion on tha democratic side of the fence. A contributor to whom Mr. Bryan has given space for a letter in the Commoner braahly declares that "Platforms are sometimes wrong." It must be out of courtesy that the writer refrains from calling Mr. Bryan to witness by citing tbe platform of 1892, pledging repeal of the Sherman law and abolition of 10 per cent tax on state bank note Issues, which platform Mr. Bryan ran with and repudiated Judge Barnea secured hla nomination alx years ago without opposition In a convention openly and notorloualy railroad-owned and controlled. World. Herald. Keep your history on straight Judge Barnes' nomination was af fected only after a sharp fight in a convention in which the forces doml nated by the railroads tried in vain to make another candidate and were forced to relinquish their first choice. Eleven candidates are out for the three Judgeships to be filled on the supreme bench of Nebraska. Whether or not tbe recent Increase of the sal ary from $2,500 to $4,600 tends to Improve the quality of available Judi cial timber, it certainly increases the competition. One of our exchanges remarks with reference to the work of the con t en tlous that recently put out ilaUorB4 for tbe state campaign in Nebraska this year that the people were too en grossed In more important business of their own to bother with political con ventions. We will see this week whether the people will consider taelr own business more important than the work ef nominating the party candi dates on which they will vote at the subsequent election. King Edward Is raising a breed of real diplomatists. His Foreign office 8 rounding up British financiers to control Russian banks and finance Russian enterprises. Russia is a big customer which, in spite of Togo, still has millions to spend. King Edward' Is a good business man, whether or not he cleans up a million on Mor gan's alleged tip. ' It's hard tj see the reason for dis content with export witnesses who BWear to what clients desire. How would an expert get on the stand if he were going to throw down his client? This seems easy and Is men tioned only because many people talk about experts as If they were hired on the lottery principle. Even unto this last, the south has about 60 per cent of the country's vir gin forest. Yet 80 per cent of the eouth's cut consists of third grade pine. Nearly everybody made a speech on free lumber and nobody knows what would happen If free lumber were the rule. Colonel Guffey of Pennsylvania has been for twelve years paying so much of his Income In support of tbe demo cratic party that when he let his recent state convention resolute for a na tional Income tax the possible addition to his burdens give It a touch of patriotism. Here goes Governor Shallenberger and his military staff kiting oft on dress parade to the Seattle exposition without first calling the extra session of the legislature which the democratic state platform-makers promised.

Pathetic Helplesaneas of Balk. San Francisco Chronicle. There Is something pathetic about the note which China sent to Japan, protest ing against the latter's action in regard to the Antung-Mukdon railroad, but end ing by saying that if Japan is determined to go ahead China ia helpless. The spec tacle of a nation of 400,000,000 of people being "helpless" before 40,000,000 Is not an agreeable one, no matter what the causes or the merits of the controversy. Coming; Abandance. . Brooklyn Eagle. Pessimists who are In doubt about the outlook may lose a little of their skepticism if they pay attention to the reports coming from all seotlons of the country. They com In no questionable shape. The west ern farmers expect to Include about tS.OOO,- 000,000 in their harvest, whioh Is not a bad orop. Factories are not only preparing for full time, but many of them are enlarg ing, and the Indications from the south are especially encouraging. In short, many who have been living from hand to mouth will soon have "money to burn," with not a little likelihood that they will more or leas promptly proceed to burn It, notwith standing the lessons jof bitter experience. However painful a toothache may be, it Is forgotten almost as soon as It goes. PERSONAL NOTES. - ! A Chicago newspaper man haa declined an offer of the' police chieftainship.

A very short stretch of memory carries the average mlridleaged person back to the early nineties when almost everybody had wheels and were going some. From ltPO to 1898 was the golden age of the bicycle. Its schools and shows, Its racing contests and touring trips, and the froth any foolishness ever on the wake of a popular fad. The experiences, enjoyments, sore spots and pneumatic expenses came trooping back to weave a chaplet of Im mortelles for the freshly made grave of Colonel Albert A. Tope of Boston. In ventor and builder of the American safety bicycle. Visiting the Centennial Exposition In 1DT Colonel Pope saw there an English Im portation called the bicycle and then It waa that he received his first Inspiration for the machine which he afterwards was the means of popularising to ao wide an extent. He made a careful study ot what In Its early stages waa a cumberaome, awkward piece of mechanism. Satisfying himself that there were great commercial opportunities In the bicycle he Interested the Weed Sewing Machine company In tha project and that concern manufactured several for him In 7S. The first order was for fifty bicycles and that was prac tically the beginning of the great Industry. The great Invention, however, was the simplest of all, that of the drop frame for women. Within ten years after It waa de vised the orate was at Its height, and in teaching the love of fresh air and exer cise It did a world of good. Now the bi cycle has settled down Into Its proper place as an Invaluable convenience. Colonel Pope was not only first In Amer ica to establish the bicycle business, but he was at the head of the new company which In 1899 started the "autobuses," or electric omnibuses to run through Tre mont street, Boston, when the surface cars of the elevated railroad were taken off that thoroughfare. At that time he had virtually retired from the business of man ufacturing bicycles, and had become inter ested In the production of automobiles, having In 1898, begun to develop and bring out the motor car, with a new company, giving to the automobile the aame name which made him famous In the bicycle world. He was at once the beneficiary and the victim of the bicycle orase. The bicycle has been, perhaps, the most mis used Invention of modern times. A vehicle for healthy exercise and moderate enjoy ment. It was converted Into a machine for torturing competitors In the form of "cen tury runs" and six day "grinds." When the competition of the automobile mater ialised people were more than eager to drop the wheel. The rich had tired of a pastime that had become common. Fash Ion decre4 a change and the bicycle went to the rear. Colonel Pope was one of the chief sufferers. Colonel Pope was a native of Boston, born May 20, 1843. After a few years in farm work as a young boy he branched out for himself as a vendor of vegetables and later was employed in the Faneull Hall market, leaving there to enter the shoe finding and machinery business. Then came the breaking out of the civil war and Colonel Pope was one of the first to respond to the call for volunteers. At the age of IS he was commissioned aa seoond lieutenant of Company I In the Thirty Fifth Massachusetts regiment. He served In the principal Virginia campaigns under various commanders, with Burnside In Tennessee, in the cam paign before Vlcksburg with Grant and under Sherman In Jackson, Miss. He took part in the battles of South Mountain, Antletam, Sulphur Sprlnga, Jackson and Vlcksburg. At the battle of Fredericks burg he displayed signal bravery and was rewarded with the brevet rank of major. On March 13, 1866, "for gallant conduct at the battles of Knoxvllle, Poplar Springs Church and front of Petersburg," he was again brevetted, this time as lieutenant colonel. When but twenty-one years of age he waa In Command of Fort Hell at Peters burg, and at the last attack led his regl ment Into the city. Colonel Pope served through the war, having risen to the colonelcy of his old regiment. At the close of the struggle he returned to his former employers, but soon went Into busi ness for himself In the manufacture and sale of slipper decorations and shoe man ufacturers' supplies. In 1901 Colontl Pope and O. Henry Whltcomb of Worcester, Mass., engaged In a novel enterprise for building a town In a single night' The little city, covering about fifty acres, was gjven the name of Custer, and was located near the Basslok mine In Custer county. Cold. Both gen tlemen were lMerested in the mine, and having houses and stores built In mova ble sections constructed at Pueblo, they had them removed and set up In the night before June 10, and when that day came the town was dedicated by Governor Or man. After' the death of his son, Charles U Pope, he and his wife desired to erect a permanent memorial to him and they decided that it should be placed in North Cohasset, the town chosen for their sum mer home. So they erected an undenomi national ohurch on Jerusalem road at a cost of more than 140,000. One of his bene factions was the Pope Dispensary building, costing 130,000, a gift to the New England hospital for women and children on Fay ette street to commemorate the long pro fessional services of his sisters, Dra. Emily F. and Augusta F. Pope and, their assoc iates in the hoapital. In lt4 Colonel Pope gave seventy-four aorea of land, worth about 1100,000, to the olty of Hart ford-where he bad located hi great industrial plant to be used a a park and pleaaure ground.

He should keep his money in his pocket and not be making unneces sary displays of the roll of bills he carries. He should be careful.
