American Diplomacy.
American diplomacy from John
Jay 'g treaty with Great Britain In 179 4
down to Philander C. Knox's Court of
Abltral Justice In 1910 has been the
science of the square deal between na
tions and the g-ospel of international
peace. Whether the issue was di
rectly between the United States and
another nation or not, American diplo
macy has Btood for peace as against
war and for commercial prosperity
without political Intrigue and conniv
ing. Secretay Knox was well within
the facts as attested by history when
he told the students of the University
of Pennsylvania:
If thla government can help to upbuild
Its neighbors and promote the thought that
the oapltal of the more advanced nations
of the world would be better employed In
assisting the peaceful development of those
more backward, than in financing wars, It
a such a deviation from traditions as the
American people will approve.
It is something every young man
and woman, every boy and girl should
know that aa this government has in
creased in power and wealth and in-
fluence, it has also increased its
strength as a factor for world peace
and righteousness and, while It btands
today as the richest and strongest of
nations, it likewise stands as the ex
emplar of universal good will and
square dealing. And this la the posi
tion it, as the type of popular govern
ment, should occupy. It Is Its own
answer to the question of comparative
triumph between this and any other
form of national authority and should
help men to a decision who are asking
if this government, of, for and by the
people will prove the ultimate test of
endurance.
Our diplomacy was written into the
federal constitution and supplemented
by the Monroe doctrine, and upon these
solid rocks of peerless statecraft we
have built and stand today, and the
distinction we have achieved and are
yet achieving but represents the logic
of our constitutional development. We
could have come to no other stage in
the course of our national life by fol
lowing the precepts laid down by the
fathers and that we have not missed
the mark is both tribute enough to
their wisdom and our fidelity. No
nation has ever had or ever will have
cause to fear true American diplomacy,
for it builds not with an eye single to
self-aggrandizement, but with larger
vision of mutual benefit.
A Church Hat.
A Brooklyn woman has taken the
Initiative in attempting to secure a
reform in hats that will create a spe
cial design for church wear, and to that
end has enlisted the services of sev
eral Episcopal clergymen of her city.
The church hat is to be smaller in
dimensions than tho prevailing style,
In fact, small enough to allow another
person to sit within a reasonable range
of the wearer and permit, worshipers
in the rear to catch . an occasional
glimpse of the pulpit and pastor.
Every man should embrace this good
woman's reform with the deepest cor
diality, though she spurns the assist
ance of men, saying that while men
"will bluster and denounce the wo
men's bata as an outrage," they are too
completely under the petticoat domin
ion to raise a hand in concerted action
to reform the apparel, so that what
ever progress is to be accomplished
and whatever relief Is to be effected,
must be brought about through the
efforts of the women themselves. Per
haps she is right, at least we have ob
served that the men have stood and
are still standing, meekly and blandly,
for most anything In the shape of a
hat the women choose to wear.
While this woman Is engaged in a
good cause, a righteous cause, we may
even venture to suggest, yet though
she may succeed in gaining the promise
of co-operation from her friends of the
cloth, we have no sort of faith in the
success of her scheme. For after all
it will pot depend on her efforts, nor
the efforts of her colleagues in the
pulpit, but on the wish and will of all
the women who expect to wear the
headgear, and they are not going to
yield an inch so long as Dame Fashion
tells them what is the style. That one
word style is the inscrutable law to
which femininity bows in humble, do
cile, abject submission the one man
date she will not violate, and this
Brooklyn woman reformer knows that
as well aa she knows that these hats
are an abomination in the Bight of
men, if not of the Lord, whether worn
in church or elsewhere.
Oillett Eight, McCarthy Wrong.
If the traveling mayor of San Fran
elsco is a wise man he will cool down
ana say nothing more about ' my
town" in connection with Governor
Gillett'B order to prohibit the prize
tight, for the governor's action Is "my
town's" opportunity for redemption.
It ia one thing for Mayor McCarthy to
make loud declarations in a Chicago
depot and quite another thing for him
to intercept the authority of the state
government, backed, as It undoubtedly
is, by the popular sentiment of the peo
ple, so the best he can hope to do Is to
make a show of himself and reflect no
credit upon San Francisco.
Governor Gillett, manifestly, was
Influenced by pressure from Washing
ton, clearly indicating that if San
Francisco expects aid from congress in
securing the Panama-Pacific exposition
it will have to turn its back on the
prise fight That the governor's
action will strike a popular chord in
the state is, of course, a foregone con
clusion. An exhibition of brute force,
already Under the ban of law in most
states, has no place in comparison with
a legitimate institution of the world
wide Importance such as this expos!
tion will be. " It would have been
most fatal error for the chief execu
live to have chosen a prize fight in
preference to this exposition. What
criticism now comas of the governor's
action can only be regarded as the
howl of the mob.
. Undoubtedly this marks the begin
ning of th9 end of prize fighting In
California. The next leKlslature will
be almost obliged to enact a law
against It, and that will constitute a
tremendous example for Nevada,
where sentiment Is already undergo
ng a change toward such things.
People everywhere are beginning to
see that a prize fighter as such is a
thoroughly useless member of society.
He contributes nothing at all to the
sum total of good, but adds much to
the aggregate of evil. And this prize
fight is the climax of disgraceful con
tests. Everything connected with it
smacks of the illegitimate and gives
off the one Impression that it is a
gigantic money-making scheme and
little else. It may not be prevented,
but it probably will not come off in
California, and that will be all the vic
tory that law and order need care to
achieve at this time. The rest of the
battle will be easy. Evil that must
depend on public sufferance for Us ex
istence can hope to exist but a little
while at best.
Lest We Forget.
While that Judgment for $6,263.-
295.49 brought on by the foolhardy
mismanagement of the Water board is
hanging over Omaha and no one ven
turing to say what the next step will
be, let us recall a few points of recent
history. ,
When the proposition of $6,500,000
of 4 per cent bonds was put up to us
last year the Water board, over the
signatures of all Its members, issued
an appeal to the public explaining why
the bonds should carry, In which,
among other things, they said:
Wo cannot and will not Use the $3,000,000
of bonds heretofore voted. V
It la important that the bonds be voted
now that the Water board may be In posi
tion to. make Immediate compromise of the
litigation, if this is possible.
If Immediate compromise cannot be
made It Is equally Important that the
bonds be voted, that the Water board may
be in position to pay the amount found
due by the United States supreme court.
If the bonds are voted, they will not be
Issued, nor will they bear Interest, until
the water works are acquired by the city.
No more of said bonds will in any case
be Jsaued than are actually necessary for
the acquisition of the plant.
Should the decision of the supreme court
be against the city, a decree will be en
tered which must be paid. The city can
not avoid the payment of auch judgment
by reruslng to vote bonds. The Judgment
would be enforced by a levy of taxes on
the property of the cltlsena. If the bonds
are voted the Judgment can be paid by
the proceeds of the bonds and the interest
and expense of running the water works
will be paid out of the revenues derived
from the sale of water, without additional
taies on the property of the olty.
Of course, the Water board and its
members have made a whole lot of
statements .during the seven years of
the proceedings for "immediate" pur
chase of the water works that they
have had to gig back on. To go back
on these representations on which the
people were induced to vote the $6,-
500,000 bonds would put them very
much in the attitude of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
One of the candidates for the demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator suggests in self-consolation
that if Mr. Bryan were back of those
petitions asking himself to get into
the running he would enclose return
postage. We are not so sure about
tha.
Were It not for the bill raising the
salary of the superintendent of Ar
lington , cemetery people hereabouts
would never have known that our old
friend, Governor Magoon, while In the
War department managed to plant a
brother in a comfortable government
Job.
Charley Wooster thinks he is the
only man in Nebraska who has ever
publicly said a word against the Ore
gon plan law, although everyone be
has talked with on tho subject thinks
as he does about it. No, there are
still others who also think aloud.
The democrats of Arkansas not
only snubbed Senator Davis at a recent
state convention, but have further diS'
played their contempt for him by pub
lishing the fact that his name ia not
Jefferson, but Jeffries Davis.
Congressman Hitchcock's newspa
per concedes that the railroad bill is
at least a step forward, but the
chances are that again, as with the
tariff bill, when the roll is called he
will be necessarily absent
There has never been a state like Okla
homa, and there probably never will be
again. World-Herald.
We hope so, in spite of the fact
that Mr. Bryan and his fellow demo
crats are trying to make Nebraska a
dead ringer for Oklahoma.
A scientist figures out that the
world has enough coal in its mines to
keep miners busy for 7,000 years

younger men, at least, in learning the

Something- Continue to Jor Riders on
Swell Railroad Cars.
Springfield Republican.
Railroads east and west are considering
the matter of Imposing an extra mileage
charge on passengers taking sleeping or
parlor car accommodations. Their position
is that they must have more revenue, and
that Increased charges should be placed
where they are most easily borne. The
passenger who can afford to buy sleeping
and parlor car passage ia presumably bet
ter able to pay an Increased rate for trav
eling than one who puts up with, a day
coach, A committee representing several
of the principal 1 trunk lines la at work on

with more faVoV if ordinary passenger
ratea are not raised 'than It will be if they
are to ba 'raised also. If meantime Pull
man rates should be reduced along the
lines of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion's order In relation to certain sections
of that Service, parlor and sleeping car
travel would remain probably no more ex
pensive than before. But the Pullman com
pany is fighting the commission's order
and may succeed, even though It ia per
fectly evident from the company's large
dividends, stock and regular, that it can
well afford to lower its ratea to some ex
tent.
CHAMPION FOR A DAY.
Outburst of Enthusiasm for the Lat
est Manblrd.
Baltimore American.
Without doubt the latest champion in
tha aerial world, the man who has made
aviation as easy and graceful aa the flight
of birds, the inoomparablo Charles K, Ham
ilton, is worthy to be rated as an epoch-
maker. Ills flight from New York to
Philadelphia, tha time from the metropolis
to the Quaker City being ona hour and
forty-seven minutes for the eighty-six mile
flight, almost challenges belief. Incredulity
as to the victories to be gained by tha air
flyers, has the footing taken from under
It when this man, a phenomenal goer,
makes a marveloualy sustained long-distance
flight, performing all the evolutions
of a bird, in scarcely more space than Is
required for the feathered flyers. Hamilton
has made the feats of other flyera com
monplace. The failure of a motor while It
delayed his return trip did not prevent
him from winning the prise of 110,000 offered
by the New York Times. He is worthy
of the name of Manblrd, aa he has prac
tically paralleled the achievements of the
birds of the air, even when a strong wind
was blowing. What now remains? Swltness
and duration have been made good. Air
travel la assured. But to what extent the
new mode of flight will enter into tranapor
tatlon remains to be seen. As far aa its
sport and recreative features are concerned
It is almost as well established as automo-
blllng. As to its military uses, aa to the
results to be wrought out in traffic, these
matters remain to be disclosed by further
developments. The advent of Hamilton has
removed tha objections raised as to the
lack of mobility,, reliability and flexibility,
as well as power of sustained flights that
have been brought against aeroplanes.

at tha Station's OapltoL
A few days Sao a cltlatn of Texas In
closed a $1 bill to the rostoffice depart
ment. No explanations accompanied the
remittance. About a month before that a
tl bill was received by the department,
apparently from the same man. As In the
latter Instance no explanation was forth
coming. The two $1 bills were laid aside to await
developments. Later on a letter came
from a man In Pan Antonio which cleared
up the mystery to sonic extent.
Tho letter read: "By sending you this
money I want to Introduce myself to the
postmaster general and his secretary. 1
expect to do the same thing In every de
partment Of the United States government
at the capital. I hope this wtll be satis
factory,"
That was all there was to it.
A new and Important principle has Just
been laid Oown by the court of clalma. It
Is In effect that a federal employe dis
missed without Justification may not sue
the government for damages. The case
came up in the claim of W. A. Miller, who
achieved some fame during the Roosevelt
administration by being dismissed from his
position as foreman of bindery In the gov
ernment printing office. Miller had been
expelled from the book binders' union
and because of this was dropped from the
printing office by Public Printer Palmer.
When Roosevelt heard of It he ordered the
reinstatement of Miller and established the
principle of the "open shop" in the govern
ment. Miller brought suit to recover the salary
during the period that he was out. The
court of claims haa Just rejected his ap
plication, taking the position that he ob
tained his redress In the reinstatement. A
contrary decision would have paved the
way for wholesale suits to recover on the
part of numberless employes who were
dismissed and later obtained reinstatement.
' Ever Blnce his arrival in Washington,
Representatives Eugene N. Foss of Massa
chusetts, is being pointed out as a political
wonder because having been a republican
for so many years he Jumped over Into
the democratic party and carried the
strongest republican congressional district
In Massachusetts.
Aa a matter of fact, observes the Wash
ington Times, there ia another member of
the house who has a record which cannot
be equaled by Mr. Foss or any other mem
ber of congress. That member is Charles
Henry Morgan of the Fifteenth Missouri
district. Mr. Morgan, It may safely be said,
carries the Fifteenth district around in his
vest pocket. Just at present he Is a repub
lican, but there la no telling when he will
be nominated and elected as a democrat.
He has been a member of both parties in
the house.
When the democratic leaders decided to
send a man to the house to displace Mor
gan he was not much concerned. The re
publicans know that Morgan and not the
leaders controlled the district and so they
nominated and elected him. Having learned
the error of their ways, the democrats took
Morgan back into the told and sent him
to congress as their representatives. Again
factional strife broke out and Morgan was
displaced by the democratic leaders. The
republicans, ever on the alert for a man
to carry the district, gave Morgan their
nomination, and now he is their represen
tative in the house. Mr, Morgan expects
to come back to the house as a republican,
but It ia regarded aa certain that If any
ambitious member of that party deprives
him of the nomination the democrats, anx
ious to sweep the entire atate of Missouri,
will ask Morgan to get bask into the fold.
The demand for Senator Bourne's speech
on popular government still continues, and
with greater ' force. The edition has now
reached 00,000, and a corps of clerks is
working daily filling the orders. The re
quests came from senators and members
of the house for copies by hundreds and
thousands. Tho fact that the people aa
individuals are taking an interest in the
speech is pleasing to Senator Bourne, and
the many requests for one and two copies
by citlaens from every section are attended
to with as much care as those for a larger
number. Not only have the politicians and
Individuals asked for copies, but heads of
large corporations are sending requests
for the address.
STRINGS ON PARTY FEALTY.
How tho Interest Sidetracked "Stock
Isaac" Regulation,
Pittsburg Despatch.
Tha excuse that la prevented by the
leaders of the senate for refusing to teave
In the railroad bill the provision with re
gard to the regulation of stock and bond
issues raises a unique question in political
ethics. Aa given to the public this excuse
is that the democratic senatora will not
vote for the bill with such a section in It,
as they believe It to be an Invasion of
the domain of state legislation.
But almost everyone who considers the
question must have seen that the demo
cratic senators are not in a majority, and
to exclude a provision on account of the
convictions of the opposition is a novel
phaue of legislation by parties. If the
organisation senators will vote wjth the
progressives or Insurgents for this pur
pose there will be no difficulty in passing
the bill.
The fact is stated by the New York
Tribune that there la a bargain between
the Aldrlch wing and certain so-called
democrats to defeat what are termed
radical enactmenta in the bill. The excuse
then takes the phase that on account of a
bargain with the minority the professed
party leaders Intend to defeat a provision
called for by the republican platform In
order to gajn votes to defeat certain other
provisions not excluded by the republican
platform.
There rarely Is a more salient example
of the fact that party authority and party
lines are binding on the men who make
most of the professional party loyalty,
only so long as it suits their personal In
terests and prejudices. As a matter of fact
the senators making this excuse are as
much opposed to the provision against
stock watering as tha democrats on whom
they put the responsibility. They are op
posed to It because the great Interest of
emitting flat atocks ia the power that
maintains them.

TRAIN CONTROL, 11 V WIRELESS.
Revolution in Telegraphy oat the
Vnlon Pacific.
Philadelphia Record.
Wireless telegraphy will soon be employed
by the Union Pacific railway for train
signaling and other official business. The
advantages thereof In a country of mag
nificent distances frequently visited by
storms are obvious enough. It makes for
greater safety In the terrific winds that
blow on the plains. When wires go down
before a gale it Is risky business to keep
trains moving. The electric wave generated
by the aerial transmitter are not affected
by tho most tempestuous gust; hall and
snow signify nothing for them. It will be
possible at all times and under all weather
conditions to transmit messages. It is
clulmed that the new system will effect a
considerable saving; and one can well be
lieve that when the cost of wire and the
wages of corps o( linemen, all of which
will be eliminated, are taken into account,
where there are many wireless stations and
there la a possibility of much Interference,
wireless telegraphy might not be as useful
in railroad work as out on the windswept
and sparsely populated plains. On the
Union Pacific system, however, all trans
mission difficulties are .said to have been
solved, so that even the objections alluded
to would no longer stand In the way of em
ploying this method in congested regions.
Talks for people
"People will not read hardware ad
vertisements, especially women, and
they do the buying," said a hardware
merchant to one of oijr representa-t
tives. .
Do you know of a woman who Isn't
Interested in a cool summer kitchen T
You sell gas and oil stoves, do you
not?
Do you know 6f a woman who
doesn't want a stove with a good oven?
You do sell stoves with good ovens,
do you not?
Do you know of a woman 'Who
doesn't want good steel cutlery?
The cutlery you carry Is good. Isn't
it?
Doesn't every family In Omaha need
screens, hatchets, hammers, nails,
tacks, screw drivers, can openers, pans,
pots, kettles, irons, hinges, locks, bath
room supplies?
Aren't there a great many men and
boys who fish, hunt and carry pocket
knives?
Isn't it reasonable to suppose that if
you Interest the 42,000 families who
read The Bee in your hardware that
they will buy yours?

A ROSE,
Alison Wlnslow in Book New
A bud pink, graceful, aweet
On bended stalk of dainty green,
A bud that sunset glows might meet
And find Its match In sweetest color
seen.
A bud 'tis in Its youth, and now
It sents the air, o aweet though faint.
And Its pure heart and. fineness would
allow
Its presence next the cheek of purest
saint.
A full-blown blossom 'tis a rose
In lta great splendor rocks and sways
On graceful atalk In graceful pose.
And thus It lives through summor days,
A rose, In Bummer-tlme of life
A flower that knows no care or pain,
Knows nothing of our mortal strife
But knows the sun and cooling rain.
A rose Its heart has had a tiny blight,
The world l not so sweet as day of yoraw
It seems aa If it's nearly nlwaya night, i
It longs to bloom on tho celestial shore.
A rose It weeps; its petals fall; ,,
It wants to die and bloom In heavenly
lands;
It's glad, at last to hear the call,
For earth, onco rich, seems now like wast
ing sands.
A rose? Ah, no; 'tis but a rod,
And yet it 1b not wholly gone;
'TIs but a proof of the great love of Clod,
Its duty In the world is not yet done.
A rose? Ah, no; 'tis but a heart,
The wind will blow It onward o'er th
eflrth.
Of all this life one rose is but a part.
Yet who but God can estimate its worth!

Two of the nine are making an honest
effort to advance. They are on hand early
In the morning and work diligently all day
plodders putting their time conscien
tiously, but with no fixed motive nor plan
to work upon.
The other two of the nine are different-,
they have made a study of their employer.
. They give thought to conditions and sup
ply what la needed.
They place themselves In their employers'
shoes and do the things which common
sense teaehes them that they would do,
were positions reversed.
Theae are the ones who advance quickly.
Slie yourself tip you belong to one of
these classes which one?
If in the latter here's congratulations.
It not, get In quick.
And you can get in quicker by making
a study of the goods you have to sell.
Why Is It that Bill can sell more atoves
or Tom heads the list on paint, or that
you don't sell as many tools or saws a
Charlie!
You are perfectly at home, perhaps, when
your customer asks for a refrigerator, bul
you wish another salesman had him when
he aska for builders' hardware.
Your boss is in businuesa to sell, and tin
more he sells the better he likes It; the mors
sales you make, the more he likes you.
And you can not make the most sulci
unless you know your merchandise.
It Is always safe to sell merchandise
that Is advertised and this class Is the cos
iest to learn about. .
Show your customer your advertised '
goods. Hold him aa long as you can with
out annoying him but show him or toll
him about your advertised goods.
