The Homecoming Roosevelt.
America stands on tip-toe to re
ceive Theodore Roosevelt and the
whole civilized world will look on with
the same Animated zeal with which it
has followed him on his triumphal
march through the capitals of Europe.
He la, in fact, the central figure of the
universe, the most commanding per
sonality Just how and the welcome of
his own people will come as the natu
ral climax of the long train of ovations
he has received since emerging from
the African Jungles. There is but one
limitation to the cordiality and zeal
that will characterize his reception
and that is to be found in the welling
enthusiasm of the man's own dynamic
force, so that It would be folly to ques
tion its spontaneity.
Roosevelt is a character that would
command admiration and challenge at
tention anywhere. His fame preceded
him to Europe, bo that it was not un
natural that monarchs and proletariat
vied to do him honor. But, after all,
there Is a deeper lesson and It ought
not to be lost on the American people
that the man in the minds of all
these people stood for certain political
ideas and Ideals which sway the world,
whether it be in republics or mon
archies. Unparalleled an event in his
tory as is Europe's acclaim of Roose
velt, it is vainglorious in its effect
upon us unless we catch the deeper
significance of it all.
Fom the heart of the dark conti
nent to Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt,
from Rome to London, this private
American citizen went and com
manded honor for himself and his
country. All eyes are on him in his
homecoming and no one can doubt
that he is stronger in the hearts of his
countrymen than ever before. . ,.
From Congress to Legislature.
, Former Congressman J. Adam Bede
of Minnesota, once the "humorist of
the house," has announced his candi
dacy for the Minnesota legislature,
saying, "It will be a pleasure to me to
take the humblest part in the upbuild
ing of our state." And, of course, peo
ple laughed. But Bede, like the natu
ral humorist, meant them to laugh or
take his utterance seriously, Just as
they chose. As a matter of fact, it
has a serious side that is highly com
mendable. Bede, with his six years'
experience in congress, ought to be
able to give better and more in
telligent service as a state lawmaker
than if he had never been a member
of the national legislature.
If Mr. Bede was qualified to serve
in congress and Duluth and -vicinity
seem to think so then he ought to be
qualified to serve in the legislature,
and he la not so old that the light of
ambition could have gone out in his
soul, bo that if his services at St. Paul
are acceptable it is not improbable
that his district may call on him to go
back to Washington. Mr. Bede is
known here and most everywhere else,
for while congressman he made ex
tensive lecturing tours, defending his
policy with the argument that he was
congressman for the whole people, not
alone for those who resided in the
Eighth Minnesota district
Republicans in Tennessee.
The popular revulsion against Gov
ernor Patterson in Tennessee, caused
by his pardon of Colonel Cooper, the
slayer of former Senator Carmack,
will, in the Judgment of leading south
ern papers, defeat the democratic
ticket in that state this year if Gov
ernor Patterson does not get out of
the way. The people, without regard
to party. Lave not abated their feeling
of resentment of the governor's action,
but as time proceeds this feeling seems
to become more deep-seated and wide
spread and there is no effort at con
cealing the determination to do away
politically with Pattersonism, whether
It means the defeat of the democratic
ticket or not.
Republicans have been making
steady gains in Tennessee and other
southern states and a republican vic
tory this year in the state elections
even obtained ' under such circum
stances would go far toward intrench
ing the party and giving it a foothold
for substantial progress. Tho repub
lican party has more solid ground than
the result of upheavals in the opposing
party on which to base the hope of
ultimate success in the south. The
south's business interests are those
that peculiarly call for protection, for
the application of the , fundamental
principles of republicanism, and it can
be only a question of time at best until
a larger proportion of the southern
voters come to see this plainly enough
to give .up tradition and political preju
dice that binds them to the democratic
chariot
Virtue of Saving.
Congress ' thia year appropriated
$85,267! to pay interest on, funds in
vested in the army depository by fed
eral soldiers and $57,267 for the same
purpose went to the naval depositors.
Army men have Invested $1,861,200;
the navy, $1,431,600. The. interest
payments are carried In the regular
army and navy appropriation bills.
The force of these facta Is that the
government is teaching Jts soldiers and
sailors to save their money. Congress
some years ago provided savings de
partmeats for them, whereby they
might turn back to their paymasters
as much of their earnings as they
pleased and draw 4 per cent Interest
annually1 on It The result has been
remarkable. Men who before squan
dered their money as rapidly as they
drew it now are saving it, and many of
them have snug accounts ta their
credit . But the benefit is not only on
the financial side; it is moral and
physical as well. Putting their sur
plus in the government's depository
means keeping it out of the waste
places that give dissipation and de
basement only in return. The men
have better moral characters, stronger
physiques and more money, while the
government has a steadier set of men.
What this system has done for the
army and navy the postal sayings bank
may do for the larger number of peo
ple of all classes who are not in a po
sition now to patronize the regular
banks or have never learned the habit
of saving. This is one of the strongest
and unassailable arguments In favor
of this law which is about to be com
pletely rounded out at Washington.
Unless we are greatly mistaken, this
Is destined to become one of the most
popular and ' beneficent laws congress
ever enacted.
Work for the Wage Earner.
In the news columns will be found
from day to day items concerning the
demand for labor in various parts of
the country. Kansas is coming to the
front with its annual clamor for 40,
000 harvest hands. Before the Kan
sas fields are gleaned Nebraska will
be demanding men, and all summer
long the farmers of the country will
be calling for help, and high wages
will be paid to thousands. Industrial
enterprises of various sorts are calling
for men daily, and the skilled and un
skilled alike are employed steadily
throughout the land at the highest
rate of wages ever known.
The opponents of republican policies
insist there Is no prosperity in the
land. Just what veil they will now
adopt to obscure their vision matters
not, they will still refuse to admit the
fact that never in the history of the
United States were its people as busily
engaged in profitable and productive
effort aa they are now. With factories
running full time, with railroads plac
ing orders for new equipment that
they may carry on their business, and
with farmers clamoring for help to
take care of the early harvest, the out
look for a calamity campaign 1b not
very encouraging.
King George's Salary.
Kaiser Wllhelm has recently had his
official allowance raised 20 per cent,
which brings it up over $3,000,000,
we are told. King George V of Eng
land, on the other hand, does not yet
know what his stipend will be, but
that has not daunted the king In the
least, nor made him querulous about
his new position. He is proceeding
just as if he had exact knowledge of
every detail of bis Income and outlay.
The compensation of Britain's ruler is
fixed by Parliament at the beginning
of each reign.
No one seems to have any definite
idea aa to whether Parliament will be
disposed to cut off any of the army of
royal parasites or supernumeraries
dependent on the king's Income,
necessitating its enormous proportions,
and there is a belief in some circles
that the new monarch will have about
the same amount as was at the dis
posal . of hia father, Edward VII,
which was a little less than $3,350,000
a year, not a mean Income even for a
king with so many others to look out
for, as it left him a snug net sum.
Parliament was much more lavish with
Edward than it was with hia mother,
Queen Victoria, who took the throne
in 1837 on a pitiful $1,900,000 a year.
But the queen and her retinue were
not as demanding on the public ex
chequer as the late king and his period.-
Parliament voted annually a reve
nue of $2,350,000 to Edward, of which
1600,000 went for salaries of mem
bers of the royal household, $65,000
for charities and $550,000 for the per
sonal use of the king andC'ueen and
the balance for various household
needs. In addition to this civil income
Edward received $300,000 a year as
the revenue of the duchy of Lancaster.
Besides that grants were made for the
king's children, $100,000 a year to the
prince of Wales alone. But the prince
was not obliged to eke out a livelihood
on this meager sum, for he drew $200,-
000 a year also from the duchy of
Cornwall. The same Parliament that
fixed' these Incomes likewise provided
a pension of $350,000 annually for
Queen Alexandra, should she survive
the king, so that the next Parliament
probably will have plenty of precedent
to guide it
When the sheriff of Cheyenne
county leaped Into his automobile,
gave pursuit and overtook a fleeing
horse thief, he practically, shattered
the last vestige of the old west. There
was a day in Sidney when no aspirant
for public office would ever have un
dertaken the sheriff's feat. Alas! even
the wildest and wooliest have become
so tame that any of them will ride in
an automobile, and some of them will
even wear silk bats.
If Nebraska democrats could do all
they promised the people of Merrick
county, this world would certainly be
a lovely place to live In. The unfor
tunate fact is that no democrat in of
fice ever undertook to carry out the
pledges of his platform. He is too
busy thinking of a new promise to
make in order to delude people into
voting for him a second time.

FIRST NEBRASKA DISTRICT.
Cnndldsvcr of Will Hayward for Re.
publican Nomination.-
Sioux City Tribune.
Will Hayward of Nebraska City, secre
tary of the national republican committee
and chairman of the Nebraska committee,
baa resigned the Nebraska chairmanship in
view of his candidacy for congress.
Mr. Hayward is supposed to be somewhat
of a standpatter, owing to his close con
nection with the national committee. And
yet his well known opposition to Joe Can
non and his publia utterances against the
Cannon machine make him somewhat of an
insurgent. Mr. Hayward Is a bright
young man with good ability; with an
attractive personality, a square character
and of high standing In the First Con
gressional district where he is well
known.
Ills father, Judge Hayward, was elected
United States senator some years ago as
the result of one of the progressive movements-against
railroad Influences in Ne
braska. , The ycung man Hayward, then
a student in the State university in Lin
coln, imbibed his father's tendency to re
sist corporation rule In politics, and the
young man has on many occasions shown
himself a rugged insurgent against the
old machine methods.
The district . Is naturally republican by
about two thousand majority, but they
voted Congressman Pollard out two years
ago on account of his persistent cham
pionship of Speaker Cannon.
BACK-TO-THK-SOIL, COLONIES.
One Movement Planned on Business
Lines.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One difficulty with the back-to-the-farm
movement though perhaps not Its chief
one. Is that those whom It is designed
particularly to benefit lack a working
plan. They do not know how to go at it.
Even assuming that a city man wants to
go back to the soil and become producer
how shall he go about ltT This question la
answered by the National Farm Homes
association, of which Governor Hadley of
Missouri la president. Hadley has become
one of the foremost of the back-to-the-farm
agitators. Perhaps his organisation is
thinking primarily of -the development of
Missouri and tha southwest; yet could Its
plan be carried out Ita benefits would ex
tend far beyond that Hadley and his as
sociates propoae to establish In sections of
the southwest where land Is cheap colonies
each of thirty-two families. Each fam
ily Is to have forty acres and In the center
of the group of forty-acre farms will be a
central farm of 160 acres to belong to the
organization and be operated as a model
for the rest Not one cent of capital will
be necessary for one to take advantage ot
this opportunity to get back to the soil.
Each farmer win be given ten years to
pay for his plot of ground, which, fully
equipped with buildings and machinery,
will be furnished him by the association.
For the city man, to whom farming la a
mysterious art, the central model farm will
be ready alwaya to suggest methods and
Indicate results.

Talk of compromise In Great Britain is
gradually tending toward a temporary set
tlement of the pending Issues between tho
House of Commona and the House of Lords.
Both opposing parties appear di-slroms of
delaying a general election, which the is
sue, if pressed, Would precipitate. Leaders
desire time to rlieneure the political ten
dencies of King George and avoid a prema
ture contest Involving royal prerogative.
BcneeAn the tumult of party organs Is a
current of public sentiment pressing for
political pc-s.ee, until business and industrial
affairs revive. Other equally powerful In
terests urge an armistice, and each warring
party appears willing if the opposition eon
cedes Its point. There's the rub. The lib
erals cannot concede muoh without endan
gering the support, of the nationalists and
laborltcs. For the party as ' whole, any
compromis which sanations the continued
disparity ot party members In tfce House
of Lords twelve to ties to one liberal must
prove abortive to a conMruotive poMtleal
organization. The negotiations for a com
promise, now, believed to be under way,
may be more productive of good result
than party prophets imagine, 'ltoy&l pres
sure backed by business Interests are forces
which politicians cannot ignore with safety.

The sentence of death Imposed on War-
danl, the Egyptian fanatic, who assassin
ated Prime Minister Boutros Pasha, was
referred to the grand mufti for confirma
tion. That functionary Is the chief eccles
iastical lawyer of the Mohammedan com
munity In Egypt What ho decrees is law
with his people. But in this case he proved
too skillful In legal hair-splitting for his
own good. In his opinion the verdlot was
not in accordance with the Koran, for the
reason that nowhere does the sacred law
mention a revolver as a deadly weapon,
and, furthermore, no true believer deserves
death for putting a Christian out of pain.
"We must face the fact," comments the
London Spectator, "that when Warda.nl
goes to be executed the grand mufti's opin
ion will, of course, be ignored a great
many Mohammedans all over Egypt will be
Inclined to the belief that he died a martyr
to the true faith. That being so, some
thing will have to be done to strengthen
the law In regard to the killing of Christ

William J. Hall, a member of the Tale
mission at Chang Sha, China, details in a
letter to the New York Independent the
origin and progress of the- Chinese riots In
that city last Apr!. . Mr. Hail confirms
what the dispatches at. the time stated to
be the primary cause' of the outburst
namely, poverty and the Increasing price
of rice. While the officials of the province
and of the city were discussing ways and
means of relieving ' the" distress, the pov
erty stricken people were played upon by
agitators, who intimated .that exports of
rice by foreigners 'caused high prices and
left the people without enough of that
necessary staple. Very little talk along
that line waa needed to start the fires of
racial hatred. Hungry and meroenary
mobs attacked the various missions, de
stroying them by fire and looting the resi
dences and store houses of the forelcners,
burning down the custom house through
which the exported rice went to ships. The
foreigners fled to ships in the harbor and
thus escaped harm during the three days
of rioting, looting and incendlarissm. Mr.
Hail states the authorities captured and
beheaded n number of the leaders, hut
otherwise showed no zeal In suppressing
disorder and protecting property.

Americans who cry out against mad dog

stantinople and Its countless dogs and th
absence of hydrophobia, as proof of the
senselessness of local frights. But the
Turkish capital no longer permits dogs the

decreasing rapidly. For xweeks past
brigades of dog catchers have been rushing
through the city leaving ruin, so far sb
the dog population was concerned, In their
train. Lassos and wooden hooks and cages
began the work; somewhere In merciful
obscurity it was completed. Today all that

sitting in the game are not sura ot their
hands.

Inauguration, and which was planned to

Roosevelt returns to us now recognized the
world over aa the most versatile, the most
energetic, the most outspoken, and, alto
gether, the most surprising of living Amer

Talks for people
A day or so ago a lady was looking
over some suits for her small son In a
well known clothing store. She said
to the clerk: "The material in this
suit doesn't seem quite up to the mark
of the last suit I bought, but If you say
It's all right I believe you, because I
have never bought anything here that
wasn't exactly as you represented."
Speaking of the incident later, the
proprietor of the store said: "Every
customer we have would say tho same
thing if you asked them, for the sim
ple reason that everything we sell is
exactly as we represent It to be.
"In all the years I have been in bus
iness I have never permitted a mis
statement in my advertising, nor al
lowed a clerk to overstate the value of
an article in order to make a sale.
"Everything that's sold over my
counters Is sold on its merits abso
lutely, and everybody that knows me
and my store knows that fact.
"In my advertising I have held to
the principle of giving the best that I
had and never trying to fool the peo
ple, and I advertise to everybody, in
the newspapers that everybody reads."
We are not too, modest to say that
a big portion of this merchant's adver
tising appropriation goes to the adver
tising columns of The Bee.
Mr. Merchant, it is not the easiest
thing in the world to get a good name,
but it is the most valuable asset a bus
iness man can have.
There is only one sure way to get it,
and that is by telling the truth to the
people day by day and week by week
In the advertising columns of The Bee.

A newspaper publisher once hired a new
managing editor. The new editor was Am
bitious and waa determined to make the
paper print more news than any of Its
rivals. He had splendid plans; but, chiefly,
he would not give the reader more news
than ever before, and news, that was
printed in no other paper.
Everything' Went beautifully, until one
night, just at the time the forms were due
to be closed, over the wires came a most
Important piece of news. The presses were
ordered held so as to get it into the paper.
It would certainly not be in the other
papers. Ie would be a great "scoop."
The only thing he overlooked waa that
he held the presses so long that the mail
wagons failed to catch the train, which
reached the towns, for which the edition
was printed. The great piece of newa was
In the papers; but they lay at the station
and never reached the subscribers.
It happened that the papers missed trio
train again. It happened a third time and
then the publisher introduced the ambitious
managing editor to his successor.
If a publisher prints the best newspaper
on earth and it does not reach the subscri
bers to be read, the papers are Just about
as useful as last year's bird nests.
The moral of thia la, that you may have
the best goods on ydur shelves in. the
United States, but if you fall to secure
buyers for the goods they might Just as
well be Junk. To get buyers, let people
know what you have through newspaper
advertising.
NEWSPAPER ADS BEST.
That there Is no advertising so effective'
as newspaper advertising Is the opinion ex
pressed by Mr. A. W. Oreen, president of
the National Biscuit company.
"Newspaper advertising we have found
the best, taken all around," says Mr. Green.
"Billboard advertising is good, but It re
quires too much time and attention, Tho
boards have to be watched to see that they
are In good condition and the advertise
ments constantly have to be renewed. We
have very little trouble with the news
papers. Magazine advertising la well
enough, but it is slow."
