When you wrestle .with the new pri mary ballot remember that our late democratic legislature is the source of the affliction. The justice of the peace is the . poor jaan's judge. Vote to give the poor fian only judges who are at least hon W and sober. No serious complaint about the water furnished in Omaha being un suitable for bathing purposes at this season of the year. Vote for "Teddy" Riepen for coro ner on the republican ticket. He never broke his word In politics or in business. John W. Gates Issues the opinion the there Is nothing but prosperity ahead. Is It Louisville and Nashville, or Tennessee Coal and Iron? Indianapolis has a fast automobile track for the next meeting. It Is a bad example. A track warranted to be slow is the real national need. France and Oermany cannot be happy over the American tariff. From the tears they shed the tariff must be a good thing for the United States. New England Is thrilled because the first pair of mocking birds on record have arrived in Massachusetts this .summer. Up goes the tariff on bird aeed. A funny man remarks that the ice ban will soon be- at the mercy of the plumber. It's too serious to be funny, when everybody has to pay both kinds of bills. One of the great literary papers of fcostou speaks well of a discriminating use of slang, but insists on good slang. It seems to think that there la too much slang that won't wash. By order of President Taft politics and census-taking are to be divorced. Could anyone aee that divorce If the democrats bad managed to win out in the last presidential election? Brooklyn alone will spend $100,00 0 on the Hudson-Fulton celebration. Hudson and Fulton never did anything for Brooklyn or In It, but New Yoik will let it go over to celebrate.

The stock market cannot become settled until Mr. Harrlman's stomach decides whether It needs butermilk or eoda mints. ' The amies of the world once traveled on their stomachs, but now on Harrlman's. Don't lose sleep over the interests of the United States in China. Mr Taft knowa all about that game and has nothing to do except see that the open door, stays open when our people have their bargain days. St. Louia theatera admit shirtwaist shirts, but' bar auspendera. These finical Impressarloa are very tedious in this weather. St. Louis baa the priv ileges of 8ge, but the suspender is also an ancient aad reepecubl Institution. V Cenius Appointment. President Taft has addressed a let ter to Secretary Nagel on the behavior of rrnsus supervisors, which la as ad mirable epitome of the diittea which come to the men selected to manage the counting of the population. The president endeavors to separate en- dismissed. The supervisors are to be strict in avoiding pressure on the enumerators, clerks and other subor dinates to assist any party, or any candidate, in a primary or a general erection. The president, who will be fearlessly assisted by Secretary Nagel, himself an advocate of business effi ciency, proposes that the vast army of census appointees shall not be used to build up any political machine. Mf. Taft disposes of one matter which over-strict reformers might make a subject of advice. He says that the quickest and best way of se lecting suitable supervision is to con sult senators and congressmen in the districts. That is not flawless civil service reform, but It is common sense and the plan has always been followed. In turn the supervisors will consult, it may be supposed, party leaders in minor civil divisions concerning enu merators and clerks. The president does not Intend to ask Mr. Nagel to make rules that will not be obeyed or will provoke confusion. In fact, the only criticism which justly applies to the letter is that the language of in hibition almost would prevent a super visor or enumerator from taktpg the ordinary citizen's ordinary Interest In politics. "Any part in politics than merely casting his vote". Is fixing limits which permit the constitutional privilege of free speech and little more. ' But It can be safely assumed that neither the president nor the sec retary contemplates a bureaucratic and mechanical rule of conduct. .They only give notice that this Is a busi ness affair, a taking of the census and not an opportunity for political boosting, or a reliance on favoritism. It is of the first Importance that the people have confidence in the good faith and competence of the men who make and tabulate the decennial count. The letter is designed to pro mote that kind of confidence. To the extent that It is a specific instruction to the secretary, it la a precaution and a justification. Last Spring the secre tary discovered certain conditions in the census office which called for re proof. This letter Is notice that the payrolls of the office are not to be stuffed with the names of political favorites. Capacity and character suitable to the work are to be the first consideration. Downward. A sharp reduction ct a duty not needed for protection doe not count for much In the son erne of honest downward revision. New York Independent. Why not? Is it not a fact that the demand for tariff revision, so far as ustlfied, arose from the realisation hat with changes In industrial condi tions some of the duties had come to be no longer needed for adequate pro tection? The complaint was that the big concerna controlling a large- part of the traffic In their output were tak ing advantage of the needlessly high arlff schedules to make American consumers pay more for the same goods than they were willing to sell them for In other countries. The republican platform pledge on tariff revision was for readjustment of duties, not below the necessary line of protection, but down to something that would make up to our manufac turers and producers approximately the difference between the cost of labor and materials here and abroad. If a sharp reduction of duty not needed for protection does not count as downward revision, then the only thing that would count would be to re move duties that are needed for pro tection, and tbua expose our Industries to the very competition from which the country wants them shielded. If the people had demanded com plete abolition of protective duties they would have voted a democratic president and congress into power. It was largely because they did not want to Invite such a disaster that they voted a continuance of republican con trol In national affairs. Good Looks in Business. New York and Chicago are debating whether good looks help a young woman to attain success In the busi ness world. New York thinks, or lets young women say in the papers, that favoritism for good looks on the part of employers or department store managers draws a line-in favor of the pretty girls in all the large employing institutions. On the contrary the employers In Chicago state emphatically that, while there Is no discrimination against good looks, the plain girls are gener ally the ones who succeed. The rea son is that a plain ghl haa more intel ligence, takes more pains, dresses with better taste and has much more agree able manners. "When a girl - has prettlne8S, she depends too much rm It and does not get results or pleaae our customers," said a department store manager. The person In charge of the operating force at the telephone office used the name language. There was no report for stenographers, but It Is reasonable to suppose that the employers of that clasa of women have the same demand for results and look at the subject in the same light. This Is no topic over which to com pare the pondering of New York and Chicago. It Is a part, and no passing phase, of a grat sociological subject. But what good comes of talking about what la not new. Good look do not make employment and do not make marriages, though nobody ever heard of a woman who would deliberately make herself ogly. Cleverness makes many more successful saleswomen, stenographers and wives than beauty, and the most successful cleverness comes In two branches, talking well and dressing effectively. All the opin ions of all the employers In Chicago and New York would not change the fact that from Esther Sumroerson to Estaer the Queen the woman who knows how to deal with people has the advantage, for good looks are apt to be of short life and to lack attraction, A business woman would better think of business than of hair dressers and face dressings. The School Board. A school board ticket is to be nomi nated at today's primaries and nomination on the republican ticket will be practically equivalent to an election. This year for the first time the members of the Board of Educa tion are to be chosen by wards, one from each of the first four wards. After careful Investigation of the list of candidates filing in the various wards we are convinced that these selections are worthy of recommenda tion: First Ward George H. 8chnell. Second Ward Dr. E. Holovtchlner. Third Ward Henry I. Plumb. Fourth Ward Charles R. Courtney. While the nominations are to be by wards, the candidates are voted on over the entire city. Do not fall to vote for the best men for the school board. Primary Pointer!. The primary election today will determine the make-up of the repub lican ticket In Douglas county, and while there are only a few contested places, still the aim should be to settle these places In such a way as not only to present qualified and trustworthy candidates, but also to strengthen the ticket all along the line. For coroner the aspirants are- all reasonably qualified, but the place is a political one, and If party service counts for anything the nomination should go to C. H. T. Riepen, who, be sides being a member of a pioneer German family and in good business, standing, haa been the efficient secre tary for the committee through two county campaigns and one city cam paign. For county surveyor South Omaha presents a candidate In the person of George McBride, who has been nur veyor before, and la concededly equal to the requirements of the position. If It Is good politics to give South Omaha recognition on the county ticket this place should be accorded to Mr. McBride. Two nominations are to be made for county commissioner, one for the short term and one for the long term. For the long term the strong candidate seems to be John A. Scott. Mr. Scott Is a representative business man with obvious qualifications. He Is not a chronic office-seeker; he is not a man out of a job; he has never failed in his own business. He Is the kind of a man who would be chosen director of a big corporation spending a half mil lion dollars a year and erecting a mil lion-dollar office building. For the short term commissioner ship John Grant has the best claim, having been identified many years with the district for which the vacancy exists. If the county ticket should be filled out with these names, In addition to the present county officers conceded renomination, it would be as strong as the material at hand would permit. "Corn is Injured by the dry weather" Is the dolorous report from Vermont to Kansas. That talk will soon be over. In reasonable measure hot weather Is the best thing that can happen to corn. It develops and rip ens the grain at this time of year. A few weeks ago cotton was a despair lngly short Crop. Now in Texas the rains have come and that state thinks that It may have 4,000,000 bales, one third of the country's total. The 3, 000,000, 000-bushel corn crop. will be found before front. One of the nonpartisan democrats running for supreme judge is to bring suit to nullify another one of the laws on the statute books passed by our late democratic legislature. Inasmuch as this particular law could be declared Invalid without knocking out any of the appointive jobs filled by democrats his offense will not be taken so much to heart. Canada and Australia inform Ens; land that tbey atlll view Japan wltb alarm and need warships. Nobody seems to know that. Japan bas no good land to speak of and not much credit. Japan can scare amateur statesmen, but what it wants Is twenty-five years of peace. It has ideas about China, but none about Australia and Canada. According to a recent work, hay fever is a badge of intellectuality. The connection between a sneeze and a burst of genius was a long time ap pearing and wc can only keep our eye on tbe red-eyed victims for confirma tion. Most of t!B would take chances on the intellectuality If the long-due cure for bay fever could be found. A reformer Inatats that lUe wearing of clothes is not consistent with good health. Every day the sua disinfects the bodies of the unclad, while the clothed person carries around a stratum of genua and ilka things. It Is unnecessary to say that this novelty is not'lntended for consideration after about October 1. And now we are told that railroads have plenty of equipment for handling record crops. That's fine news. Also let teem be on the square about sup plying cars and routing trains. Mr. Taft Is about to renovate the Interstate commerce law and has his eye on the combinations. Sample wheat of the new crop gives at Mlneapolls signs that the quality Is o be extraordinary. If they will kindly keep the price within reach there will be bread to eat. Omaha, with plenty of wheat of He own, offers congratulations. St. Paul is arranging a reception for the Minnesota congressmen who fought upward revision. All demo- rats are specially invited. Mr. Bryan ought to go. It would be a good place for enlarging the "Roll of Honor." Seasonable Advice. ' Washington Herald. Be uniformly courteous to the Ice man.

A Straggle for Control. Boston Transcript. Signs now point to a sharp division be tween the east and the middle west over the tariff. Democratic Governor Johnson's ill-advised remarks a few days ago pre sented the controversy frankly, and now Senator Cummins and other Mississippi alley republicans are predicting a line-up of the section which they represent against the Atlantic seaboard. It will be a strug gle for control of the republican party. SOT ALL. SMOOTH SAILING. SI of Opposition to Income Tax Amendment. Philadelphia Record. That the' proposed Income tax amend ment to the constitution will not have clear nailing Is Indicated by the adjourn ment of the Georgia state legislature with out action thereon. . The reason given for nonaction makes the latter almost equiva lent to a negative vote. It was remarked by the- leading members of the legislature that the tate might -need to impoae an In come tax Itself at sfltrie future time, and a federal tax would prove a hindrance to the carrying out of the state policy thus foreshadowed. It was the supposed unan imity of the south In favor of an Income tax on which were based the hope of getting a three-fourths ma.'orlty of the states to concur In the proposed amend ment. If only a few of the southern legis latures should nonconcur the likelihood of the adoption of the constitutional amend ment would be very slim. THE FARMER OK TODAY. Real Industrial Monarch of Money Makers. Washington Post. In the continued rising tide of prosperity, as announced In every trade and crop re port, the center of Interest for the last few months has been the tiller of the soil. From being a figure regarded with mingled pity and Impatience, in view of his downtrodden and apparently apathetic condition, he bas become an object of respectful attention. so far as this country Is concerned, at least, the "Angelus' and the "Man With the Hoe" are portraitures of one who was, rather than of a contemporary being, and the "Old Homestead" promises henceforth to appeal only to the reminiscent sentiment that still finds pleasure In "Unole Turn's Cabin" and other such presentations of days that are past. It may be worth while to consider the reason, or, rather, reasons, for this change. Foremost must be placed the fact that the best and rlcheet of the vast public domains of the country have been taken up. Much government land is still unoccupied, but the true natural farming country haa been largely absorbed. The United States has been open-banded In its polloy with regard to its publls lands, and the agriculturists of this and other countries have taken ad' vantage of tbe liberality, until now there Is not so much remaining to give away o.- to part with for a nominal sum. Proof ot this ia found in the Increased migration to brltlsh Columbia. The fertility of Mani toba's wheat lands lias long been known but Americans are loath to leave their native soil so long as equally good oppor tunitles are found at home. Another proof Is found in the Irrigation projects now underway In the semlarld regions of the west, the development ot which aa a prac tlcal measure would not have appealed atrongly to the farming element ao long aa plenty of good land remained unentered In the regions ot sufficient rainfall. These facta being granted, the rapid en hancement in the value of farm lands gen erally in recent yeara ia easily understood The western movement having been checked to a considerable extent, the lands farther east have naturally become more and more valuable, and there la no reason to look tor a decrease in values, uood times or hard limea, the farmer must fare well with anything like present prices for his prod ucts. Another matter worthy of -mention Is tli Improved methods employed on tbe farms In bringing this about, the greatest ciedi must b given the Department of Agrluul ture, which has of late yeara been carrying on an unceasing campaign ot education During the Incumbency of Secretary Wll son, who rightly deserves the title of "th farmers' friend." no opportunity has been neglected to Introduce into the agricultural districts the best possible systems ot plow tug, seed lectlun, cultivation, and so on The farmer lias much yet to learn, but he Is learning fast, and the old slovenly way are fast giving place to Intelligent and scientific fnttliodk. Theory and practice have been ao winely combined in thete in structions that the farmer has received ob ject lesions he cannot decry; nor does lie want to The era of prosperity has met the farmer fiibt Should hard limes cunie, he will oe the last to sufft-i. Happy is tbe farmer woe Uvea ia tU deUS Bee's New Office Originality la Decoration and Illumination Attraot favor able Motlee of Unpens. Illuminating Engineer for August. If you should ask an easterner what Ne braska Is celebrated for. he would prob ably answer: For a presidential candidate who holds the record for long distance running and a daily newspaper called The Bee. Notwithstanding the record of the candidate. The Bee haa actually been run ning longer, and though some may be akeptlcal on this point, it will probably continue to run long after the candidate has ceased sprinting. The Omaha Bee Is a great paper. It Is a prophet having honor In Its own country, as well as recognition throughout the land. Its hive is a magnificent building, which la noteworthy for the originality and clear cut motive of Its architecture, both ex terior and Interior. The lighting fixtures partake of these same admirable qualities. Before commenting on the lightning, let us call attention to the effectiveness of the decorative treatment, which Is like a breath of fresh air after the heavy at mosphere of a crowded building. There Is neither fluted column nor Greed capital nor Gothic arch nor French rococo, and yet behold the simple, pleasing. Invigorating effoci of originality, produced In defiance of the traditions which so generally hold our present ideas of decorative art In bondage. The Illumination Is art example of the lighting of the general offices. The fix tures are wooden standards corresponding In material and design to the counters and gnneral decorative scheme. Each consists of two quite distinct parts, dne for the purely decorative lighting- and the othf-r for the practical Illumination. The latter consists of four electric lamps, having large frosted round globes hanging pend ent from the four simple wooden cross arms at the top of the standard. The only metal decoration is the bronze husk cov ering the necessary socket and holder, j Above this la a canopy of k-aded glass showing designs In harmony with the mural decorations. This contains four or dinary sixteen candle-power lamps. lie- side the beauty of color and design In the glass itself, this canopy serves to produce very mild general Illumination by In direct lighting from the ceiling, and also to limit the celling sufficiently to prevent any feeling of gloom. Individual desk lights are provided for the clerical force. THE NEW PRIMARY. Bloomtngton Advocate: We were In favor of the primary law at first, but it has been a disappointment. We are in favor of the old caucus system with the conven tions. Alns worth Star-Journat: The primary election ballot this year is big enough and broad enough, and caused worry enough to the. printers to be a thing of beauty and Joy forever, but it isn't. And you will say so when you see It. Rushvllle Recorder: Next Tuesday the wide open ballot will be tried for the first time, as given us by the democratic legis lature. Politics aside this ballot Is a grave reflection upon the political sagacity and honesty of some of our law makers. It Is full of inconsistencies and loopholes for fraud. Fremont Herald: The new primary bal lot Is In the hands of the county clerk. , The sheet Is twenty-one Inches long and thirty-eight Inches wide. It requires a great deal more paper this year and In volves more work In the printing, not withstanding there are only a few nomina tions. When It comes to a presidential election the chances are that It will require a sheet many feet In length. trfup City Northwestern: Oh, yes, this primary ballot Is a good thing for the newspapers the big ones, we mean. For instance. Judge Hamer is having two to three columns of paid stuff in his lauda tion in the Lincoln Journal. News and Star, Omaha Bee. Kearney Hub, Fremont Tribune and other bigger papers, but the little fellows, wao have been howling about the primary giving the newspapers the wonderful power heretofore ' exercised by the conventions, where are they? They have been simply the tools of the big fel lows that reap the benefits. Faugh! Beatrice Sun: The election- laws of this state should be amended so as to cut down the time necessary to be devoted to policies by a candidate. The present campaign started two months ago, and politics will not be disposed of for the year until we have gone through nearly three months more of It. Five months Is too much time to devote to men to fill public offices, no matter how important those offices may be. The Intent of the law In spreading the campaign over so much time probably Is to give the voters an opportunity to get acquainted with candidates for state of fices. Very few people know who are can. dldates for supreme court nomination?, a great many people do not know how many Judges are to be elected, nor how many regenta of the university are to be elected. nor who are the candidates. To enable the voter to become familiar with the Issues and candidates In state-wide politics, the campaign Is scattered through the best part of a year, and the county candidate has the Inconvenience and expense of a long campaign. BEWARE! OP THE fl IT. On of tn Effects of Bright eammrr Sanshlne. Indianapolis News. It Is about this time of the year that the reflection of the sun shining on streets and cement pavements begins to affect people's facea. Unless one keeps the thought tn mind, not to allow the face to take a wrinkled expression, the sun squint gets into the eyes, horizontal lines form serosa the forehead and vertioul or "V" shaped lines between the eyes. Often with this triple formation of the upper part of the face there cornea a corrugation of the muscles and skin of the nose, and some times a dropping of the jaw and opening of the mouth. Serious-minded people will ray that the lines of the face denote character. Prob ably they do to a large degree, but the sun of summer and the desire to shade the eyes from the disagreeable glare of the stieet is responsible for many of them. And the sun is not so much to blame for some of the wrinkles as the fashionable scowl on the faces of the young girls, a troubled look, as If life were not all bright and happy for them. The scowl is the caprice of the time, just aa the high shoulders, extended el bows and the forward throw of the head was th whim preceding, or the ctllted aU waa of the season before that.
