Heno has both Beverly and Oyster Bap beaten to a frazzle in the public eye.. Even "Uncle Joe" says he will "come back." At least that Is what he told Washington when he left. Mr. Hehrst would be one to oppose the wisdom of Colonel Roosevelt's run ning for governor of New York. I Neither 'man is going to lose that fight today. We have the word of both Messrs. Jeffries and Johnson for It. Lillian Russell. admits she is 50, but she must not think we are trying to flatter her When we say she does not look it. The only way Reno can add to its attractions now is by offering mining stock as premiums for divorce seeking settlers.

But then, Juatso they riot enough to keep up the e&itemenl as much as would a bull fight. Private;' boxes are to be arranged at the flghtfor the women, but Mrs Jeffries and Jlra, Johnson will not sit in the same pew. We have not figured out the exact value of that last rata, but it must be somewhere In the millions, and besides It saved our Rourkes from another drubbing. The lottery was put out of business by closing- the malls to all publications carrying Information about it. The prize fight could be put out of business la the same way. . The hobo will probably put Kansas City on his blacklist. A municipal Judge there has determined to send all sons of rest who come before him to the Kansas wheat fields. The New York Herald speaks of New Tork as America's best summer resort and la another part of the same issue chronicles several deaths from teat prostration. That proves it. Editor Bryan will speak very shortly. In the Interval he will have a heart to heart session with Associate Editor Metcalfe, who got his trolleys araad dhrtnc Ills chief's absence. The Glorious Fourth. The Fourth of July marks the anni versary of the nation's Independence and Americans will never cease to ob serve that historic event. But In course of time the manner of celebration probably will and ought to be changed. It is already changing in parts of the country asd as public sentiment in favor of a "safe and sane" Fourth spreads it will change in other parts and finally we will come to observe the great day with equal patriotism, but less tumult. It is largely commercial energy and ingenuity that keeps alive the noisy, dangerous Fourth, anyway. The manu facturer and salesman of explosive fireworks naturally are going to stay in business as long as they can do so profitably, but in time, when the coun try actually awakes to the fearful toll it is annually paying in human life and limb to this boisterous nonsense and prodigal waste, the demonstrative Fourth will have to give way to the sober, thoughtful celebration. It la a mistaken idea to suppose that hideous noise alone expresses patriotism. We can love our flag and revere the deeds of our forefathers much better if we go about it more orderly, and that is all the Fourth is for. Of course there need be no com plete abandonment of noisy Jubilation nor of a reasonable display of harmless fireworks, but it is simply essential from every standpoint of reason and sanity that this unlicensed pursuit we have for so long Indulged be checked. It has come to the point where not only the Fourth, but the Second, and Third, and often the Fifth, are made days of bedlam, and those people who prefer saner forms of patriotic expression simply have to endure the other whether they want to or not. It is gratifying to see the accumulat ing signs of the advent of a rational celebration of the day. A Great Balance Sheet. The treasury report which the gov ernment discloses for the fiscal year Just ended shows a total deficit over all, including Panama canal expendi tures and the public debt, of $23,884, 000, as compared with $118,705,000 one year ago. This is a wonderful im provement in finances and seems all but incredible for one year's time. It Is made possible by a tremendous In crease in receipts and a heavy cut in expenditures. Our treasury receipts for this year exceeded those of the year before by more than $66,000,000. One year ago there was an excess of dis bursements of $66,000,000. The gov ernment is paying Its bills and Is rapidly getting down to a practical cash basis, meeting every emergency as it arises and readjusting the na tional finances on the soundest possible basis. . The' criticism is made 'that' enlarged receipts do not alwaya mean a sounder condition so much as a growth In pro ceeds from taxation, but an analysis of the figures does not Justify com plaint on this score. True, that of the increased Income, $17,362,000, Is the estimated revenue from the corpora' tlon tax, but on the other hand customs receipts have grown more than $32, 000,000 and Internal revenue receipts have gained about $20,000,000, and there has been a tremendous saving in the postal department. J It Is the purpose of Secretary Mac Veagh, however, to proceed along present lines until he has reached an equilibrium not yet struck between In come and outgo; he proposes to work to that end on both sides of the ledger. The government readily distinguishes between increased revenue from taxa tion and greater economy of adminis tration, realizing that the former must represent a deduction from private profit and affect every form of industry to some extent. Therefore the studious effort is to extend taxation no further than the actual demands of the public business require. It will soon be possi ble, with the treasury showing such a robust balance sheet, ' to relieve the pressure on certain sources of income from taxation, and an administration that has served the people as faith fully as the present one is doing may well be trusted to look out for that. With all the steadily Increasing needs for money, complicating the de mands upon our financiers at Wash ington, the exhibit made at the end of this fiscal year stands out all the more remarkable and ought to afford the best assurance to the people that their Interests are being scrupulously con served. Is the Hobble Skirt Doomed? American women who essay to serve Dame Fashion have been faithful In their allegiance to Parisian modistes; they tiave patiently stood for most any thing the French edict has proclaimed as "style," but at last they seem to be wavering in their fidelity. Paris has evidently gone too far, presumed too much, and now an Incipient revolt is threatened. - Tho casus belli is the bobble skirt, or to be correct, "Jupe a 1'entrave," the skirt that fetters, has no friends It entwines tightly around the lower part of the body, coming to a small opening at the bottom, producing a most ungraceful effect upon, the car riage of the woman imprisoned in it In fact, about the only carriage she can safely assume Is a frog-leap, or a locomotor ataxia step; It hobbles her. in fact, at the feet. And this skirt came from Paris, accepted because it was "style," but apparently It is too much for the American women, for, before It has become popular in the west, It is being discarded in the east and is likely to be doomed entirely very soon Ana aiong witu u, we understand, mayjllpjn raiir0ads. . I.L I. . a go the big hat, as destructive of the view as this skirt is of the gait, and possibly also the hair puff. It really seems to be too much, however, to ex pert that these various abominations should leave us at once. If all of a sudden the American women should decide to do their own dressing, according to tnelr own Ideas and tastes, and ignore the radical styles of Gay Fares, we fancy they would not suffer either in point of comfort or appearance, but would gain mightily In both. Bryan the Silent I According to the London Daily News, which assumes to reflect the views of Londoners, William J. Bryan Impresrjd London as a "quiet, thoughtful man, who talks but little and says something when he does talk." It will be interest ing to Americana to have this new esti mate of the Nebraskan, who, himself, admits that he has talked considerably, and likes it, but it will scarcely be ac cepted as the correct estimate at home. No one need deny that Mr. Bryan is a thoughtful man to decide that London, if this Is Ita impression, has come a long way from getting an ac curate measure of the man. It only goes to show that the Britishers took snap judgment of Mr. Bryan, that they based their conclusions upon merely what they saw and heard of him dur ing his recent visit to the British Isles. Probably if he did not talk a great deal it was because there was little occa sion for it. He went to Edinburgh to attend the world's missionary confer ence, came in contact with no political subjects, found himself enveloped with the atmosphere of mourning over the death of the late king, which has stopped all public activities, and so he had but little to say. And in compar ing him with Theodore Roosevelt, who before the king's death had been in vited to make several addresses, the British, who pride themselves on being fair Judges, conclude that Bryan typi fies the deep thinking, silent phil osopher of American politics. Our British cousins seem to have forgot the past, the three national campaigns with Mr. Bryan as the losing party'a presidential candidate, going up and down the land, talking incessantly, but not deeply, in every state and thousands of cities, towns and hamlets, and the Intervening years when his eloquence abated not. Mr. Bryan, in fact, has never been sur passed as a multiplier of words by any forensic performer, and as to his profundity let the fact that all his paramount political predictions and Issues have come to naught speak for itself. As war correspondent at Reno Jack London is taking no chances on losing out as a great prophet. He predicts: "Three things only can make It a quick fight. First, a lucky punch; secondly, the blowing up of one or the other of the fighters, and, thirdly, a display of the hypothetical yellow streak In Johnson." Has not this wise and far seeing man overlooked the possibility of a flood or an earthquake or the dis appearance of the stakeholder? Writing to Edgar Howard's paper, John C. Sprecher declares Edgar Howard ought to be the democratic nominee for congress In the Third Ne braska district In place of the check book candidate. Well, why not? Has the check book become all-powerful In that neck-o'-woods? Colonel Roosevelt will not consent to run again for governor of New York, but it is a ten to one shot that he Will be backing up the republican nominee when he Is finally chosen and gets Into the field. Texas newspapers are trying to shift the responsibility of the birth of Mr. Rickard, the Reno rereree, onto poor old Kansas, despite the fact that Colonel Rickard calls himself "Tex." Oot of the Question. Kansas City Star. Mr. Bryan may like Mexico's silver policy, but he can never endorse the Mexican plan of putting the minority candidate for presl dent In prison. A Change for the Better. Wall Street Journal. If Wall street In the seclusion of Its of fice Is able to decide the fate of the crops, why not let the farmers write the stock market letters? Roll Alone Juat the Same. Bloux City Tribune.

Indianapolis News. Notwithstanding the $3,000 fine that has been Imposed In the "cotton leak" case, it Is believed that the transaction, as whole, shows a balance on the right side of the ledger. Makes the World Move. Kansas City Journal. Count Zeppelin has repeatedly risked hs life and has spent his fortune In perfecting his dirigible balloon. He has seen his air. ships, representing years of endeavor, de stroyed by wind and lightning. Now, at the age of 72, hastening to the wreck of his latest model, he announces that he Is "dis appointed, but not discouraged." Bully for. the count; That's the sort of young man that makes the world move. Baarleaa Scares of Speculators. Philadelphia Record.

Reliable Aaalatanta an the J oh, bnt Work Ptlva In. Philadelphia Inquirer. Although the fool-killer is very busy these days, he cannot keep up with his work. It must be some satisfaction to Mm that he is being assisted so ably by a large number of his proper victims. Among them are auxh as: Put alcohol Into their stomachs. . Kat a lot of meat. Prink ahundantly of Ice water and Ice tea. Take violent exercise In the hot sun. Worry about things which never happen. Run a square to catch a street ear. An other will be along in a couple of minutes anyway. Indulge in heated argument on any sub ject. And a whole lot of others. Now there Is nothing different in the situation today from what ' occur, every year. Some people are wise enough to gain a little common sense, but a great many are so afraid that the fool-killer will not get around on time that they start In to do his work. They are occasionally blun derers. They do not succeed at once, but they are right at heart; they are on the right track. They will get there eventually. Doctors and funerals are expensive lux uries, but many persons act as If they could not enjoy life without them. NAVIGATING TUB AIR. tons Road to Safety Yet to Be Charted. New York Post In view of the Zeppelin disaster, how do accounts now stand as between the dirigible and the aeroplane T We may Imagine a heavler-than-air machine setting out under the same peaceful weather conditions as the Deutschland had, and overtaken by the same storm. Tha gale might have con ceivably wrecked the aeroplane, but, on the other hand, the aeroplane might have just as conceivably made a landing In the first open field that offered, or on the first stretch of road. Let it be admitted that in the present stage of aeronautics neither the dirigible nor the aeroplane Is capable of defying the storm, as .the modern steam ship is. All the more reason why the air craft should be able to" reach earth easily when It cannot hold its own against the wind. On this count the advantage Is Im measurably with the aeroplane. For the Zeppelin's purposes every German town would have to be equipped with Its enor mous balloon shed and Its corps of hun dreds of men to warp the ship Into Its dock. Our present mastery of the air may be oompared with the art of navigation when the Phoenician traders stole timorously from cove to cove on the Mediterranean; when It blew hard they refused to leave port altogether. LAUGH AND PBRSPIRO MORE."" Colonel Harvey's Specific (or th Thrills of Colonel Roosevelt. , Harper's Weekly. Let us make a careful distinction between the colonel and the extraordinary expecta tions that have grown up In some mlnda as to what he can do and how he can save the country. The country does not need saving just now. It la pounding along pretty well on the present tack, notwithstanding some difficulties of navigation. The colonel has given no intimation that ho is going to save It. or that he thinks It needs saving. He bought a new straw hat the day after he got. ashore, but there Is no reason to believe. It was not the same- sized hat he has. baA used to wear.- He Is bland, fervent, and, busy, but gives no signs or undue excitement. In public he wears a shirt and keeps It on. Will you neigh bors all please keep on your shirts, too? Laugh more! Perspire freely if the weather continues hot, but avoid excitement. A Chance) to Save. Washington Herald.

Colonel Walteraon'e Reelpe for Do na ratio Peace and Ilapplaeae. Chicago Inter Ocean. In an Interview with a woman reporter In New York lent Saturday, Colonel Henry Watterson "came out strong" In favor of a man's telling hi wife th truth about his little diversions. "Don't lie to her," say th colonel. "Just tell her that you'v been out with the boys. If you've been playing poker and somebody ha. tapped you for the roll, just tell her that, too. It'll b all right." That certainly sounds noble and com forting. It also comes In a ton of appar ent authority. But there are soma state ments that one hesitates to accept without an examination of the vldenc on which they are based. If Colonel Watterson would Just aupple ment thl. Interview with a few particular cases In which his recipe ha. been tried and found to be all that th proprietors claim for It, aa they .ay In patent medi cine experiences, It would help wonder fully. For Instance, a letter not necessarily accompanied by a wood cut from a venerable-looking man In Oshkosh, Wla, stat ing that for th last forty yaar. h has used th Watterson recipe after being out with th boys or losing hi. money at poker and ha. never know it to fall, would do much to popularlz It. Or a signed statement, witnessed and acknowledged before a notary, that such and such a. person suffered for years from hi. wife's auspicious nature, that he even went so far a. to think of dlvorc because of th unhapplnes. it caused, and that nothing except the uso of th celebrated Watterson recipe had given th slightest relief, would lend weight to th New Tork Interview, Even an offer of a reward of $1,000 for any wife who would not succumb to thl. treatment and find everything all right after the first or second night would tend to enoourage many gentlemen to make ex periment, in that direction. We are not ' intimating the .lightest doubt of Colonel Watterson". sincerity. Nor is the ethical correctness of his posi tion open to question. The only question Is: Ha. Colonel Watter.on seen to It that his idea was tried on a sufficiently wide scale to give a hint of it. merit, a., a practical proposition? If not, the colonel should be careful. He may be pushing many unsuspecting men on to trouble, that they dream not of. PERSONAL NOTES.

" The edition Is a Talks for people A few churches have their eyes open ito the possibilities of advertising their services to the public not many, but one here and there, and it la doing a world of good. One church in New Orleans, one in Washington, D. C, advertises in the street cars. Others in different parts of the country are using the news papers. We are glad to see this. It shows the good of advertising outside of busi ness fields. Surely advertising could be put to no better use than to draw people to worship. Of the thousands of people in Omaha a great many go to church.; a great many who do not go would go if they knew about the splendid sermons and beautiful music they would hear. There can be nothing undignified in drawing people to hear a great and uplifting sermon delivered by a great and good man. . Suppose some one of our churches published in The Bee something of the beauties of the sermons preached, something of the intellectual treat in store for those who would come, and bidding the stranger welcome. We venture to say that before long every seat in that church would be filled every Sunday. And who would venture to say what the gain to the community would be?
