Troceedinj to Business. I
Arizona and New Mexico have gone
about their work of becoming states
with the true American spirit and Fiey I
have their stars In the old flag by the
jnext anniversary of the nation's inde
pendence, with their representatives
ready to sit In the congress that con
venes on the first Monday of Decem
ber, llt.
Both states have appointed days for
the election of delegates to the consti
tutional convention. Arizona naming
September 0 and New Mexico Septem
ber 12. These conventions will lose
no time In getting together, drafting
their constitutions and submitting
them to the people for ratification.
Congress and the president, who urged
the lawmakers into action, will have
no ground for complaint at lack of
promptness on the part of the new
states. If tho people accept the con
stitutions drafted for them by their
representatives, then these charters
will go to congress and the president
for final ratification and if aajuagea
rue to the republican form of govern
ment guaranteed by tho federal con
stitution, then all that win remain to
consummate statehood will be for the
chief executive to Issue a proclamation
for the two new states to come into
the union.
The fathers of the republic could
scarcely have dreamed, in their most
roseate Imaginations, that the nation
they founded would reach such terri
torial and political proportions in so
short a time. This rounding out of
the greatest free government in his
tory in the comparatively brief period
of 134 years is the most astounding
achievement In the annals of natlon-
bulldlng.
An Object Lesson.
The lynching of the Anti-Saloon
league detective at Newark, O., while,
of course, disgraceful and lamentable
as a violation of law, is yet a solemn
object lesson, or ought to be, to these
over-zealous upllfters who employ dls
reputable characters as agents in their
crusades. Here is a man willing to
ake human life and who admits be
has never engaged in a laudable means
of earning a living, urging other young
men to avoid the error that cost him
his life.
It is a mistake for an organization
which vesta itself with social reform
to proceed on the theory that the end
always Justifies the means and that it
all right to hire ex-convicts, pro
fessional strike breakers or other dis
reputables to do the spy work on
which the league depends for informa
tion. And if this experience in Ohio
does not serve to impress this fact on
the minds of good men and women en
gaged in (his and similar work, then
it will fail to accomplish its best re
sult. The Anti-Saloon league and
allied organizations, their cause . and
their crusaders have suffered In pub
lic esteem because they employ men
whose personal records would not bear
scrutiny. It is simply impossible to
get people to believe strongly in any
cause tnat must aepena upon sucn
questionable methods for success.
Here in Omaha and in other towns and
cities of Nebraska this has been dem
onstrated where men have been em
ployed by these organizations with
penitentiary records and courts asked
to send men to prison on the word of
hireling Jailbirds.
Temperance causes are not pro
moted by intemperate people or Intem
perate methods. In this state at pres
ent the Anti-Saloon league is em
broiled in a bitter internal factional
fight; several members have publicly
resigned to avoid being ousted and re
criminations of the ins and the outs
are putting both under suspicion and
their association with crooked detec
tives does not strengthen them in pub
lic esteem. ,
Work of the T. M. C. A.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tlon is being credited with doing a
great service by the watchcare it keeps
over boys ana young men. it ouen
follows a youth across the continent in
order to surround him with proper as
sociations. Recently a young man
went from his borne in a small Ne
braska town to work tn a large office
in Chicago. One day he was surprised
when a stranger approached him at
bis work, called blm. by name, told
him where he was from and Invited
him out to lunch. It was a Young
Meu s Christian association represen
tative come to accompany him in a
strange city. The home association
bad notified the Omaha association
and the Omaha had notified the Chi
cago association of the young man's
movements, and in Chicago a worker
was aBBlgned to look after him..
As one of thousands of cases this
illustrates a system that Is working
with excellent results, and the best
part of it is that it is not confined to
young men ot this country, but ex
tended to the youth coming here from
abroad. Many of our newcomers are
greeted at eastern ports of entry by
these Young Men's Christian associa
tlon workers and given assistance,
which not only helps them tor the time
being to overcome the pall of home
sickness and get started in a strange
land, but aids them permanently and
(.tends to make them better American
citizens. They see a great organiza
tion in the new country interested in
their welfare; interested in it enough
to look out for them and appealing to
the best there is in them. At the out
set it gives them a high idea of Amer
leans and Americanism and Inspires
them with the belief that they have a
mark to strive for and a determination
to reach the mark.
Not long ago a tall, angular youth
walked into the local Young Meu's
Christian association headquarters and
asked if a letter from Holland and one
from Liverpool had been received with
reference to a young man coming to
Omaha. The fame of the Young
Men's Christian association bad spread
to Holland, and this young man, ven
turing to cast his fortune in a new
land, wrote to the Omaha association
for the privilege of its fellowship and
found It most cordially given him on
his arrival.
Helped to secure employment, di
rected In obtaining good living quar
ters, Influenced in the matter of proper
associates this work Is invaluable
to the youth away from home, and It
must have a place In the sum total of
the making of useful citizens out of
sojourners in a strange land or in a
strange city.
Adequate and Inadequate Penalty.
The other day a girl was fined 125
by a San Francisco Judgo for racing
her automobile against a locomotive
and laughingly told the court that the
fun was worth the price.
This thoughtless miss unconsciously
set forth the essence of this whole
auto-speedlng mania -which the law
must combat. The average automobile
owner or driver, we may admit, Is not
thus reckless, but so long as there are
so many exactly like this girl we are
going to pay a dear tribute for the
indulgence. Courts all but make a
travesty when they assess nominal
fines for law-defiant speeding. If the
speeder does not care for the fine then
it may become necessary to Impose a
penalty that will not strike so lightly.
It is not only unsafe for people like
this girl to run automobiles, but un
safe for thorn to be permitted to in
dulge the idea that "the fun is worth
the price," to laugh at law and sneer
at courts. Such people must be pun
ished in such a way that they will not
think the penalty smaller than the
offense, that they will not chuckle at
the impotency of law and go out and
repeat their performance. They must
be impressed with the fact that a fine
is not a license to indulge In a pastime
that imperils life. It ts the business
of the authorities to see that the
limitations are seriously observed when
so serious a thing as human life Is at
stake.
When the Colonel Comes, to Omaha,
When Colonel Roosevelt comes to
umana in September he will have a
rousing big reception, in which every
body irrespective of class, creed or
politics will extend to him the glad
hand.
That much may be considered set
tled in advance without waiting to
know more about the hour ot his ar
rival or the length ot time he will
spend here, or the detailed program
that may be laid out tor his entertain
went.
Colonel Roosevelt has been Omaha's
guest before, and on each occasion has
bad the kind of welcome that would be
prompted by the true spirit of western
hospitality and the popular admiration
of the man.
It goes without saying that Colonel
Roosevelt has not lost anything in pub
lic estimation in this section since be
coming a private citizen, and that in
terest in him and In what he may say
to us will be manifested Just aa
strongly, if not stronger, than here
tofore.
In making Omaha a stopping place
on his Itinerary Colonel Roosevelt hon
ors our city and our people, who will
gladly show their appreciation by hon
orlng him.
The man who circulated those Bryan
senatorial petitions Is between two
fires. To file the petitions with the
secretary of state will cost him $50
and may offend Mr. Bryan, while to
fall to file them will expose blm to a
penalty under the law of a fine of $600
or imprisonment. The question is, la
it cheaper to obey the law or to defy
it?
Why should Mr. Bryan be so severe
with the distinguished democrats
whom he has bawled out, and at the
same time so gentle with Associate
Editor Metcalfe? Why not the same
punishment for the same offense by
whomsoever committed?
Reading- the account ot what hap
pened to the anti-Saloon league sleuth
In Newark, O., suggest what a lucky
stroke it was that that suit case full
of dynamite did not explode and kill
a lot of innocent men, women and
children in Omaha.
That lob Angeles man who is op
posing Colonel Roosevelt for com'
mander-in-chlef of the Spahish-Amer
lean war veterans is probably just
seeking the distinction of being "tbe
man who ran against Theodore Roose
velt."
The woman candidate for governor
in New Hampshire says that within
ten years women will be candidates
for governor in twenty states. 8he is
careful not to predict, that they will
than be governor of that many states
England professes through its press
to be shocked that America should
desecrate with a prise fight the day
that marks the anniversary of freedom
from British tyranny, but Is that
really the source of grief?
Our old friend, "Mike" Harrington
seems to have forgotten that only two

posium on the question, "if the peo
ple rule, why don't they get what they
want?" Here's the answer: "They
do, except when Mr. Bryan won't let
them."

Kneading dough with the feet still pre
vails in some Italian shops l'n New

the state department of labor. The re
port adds that "our Inspectors have es
sayed to atop It, but have not been sus
tained by the department for the reanon
that there Is nothing positively Illegal
or necessarily unsanitary In the prac
tice." A writer In th Survey, comment
ing on the "appetltlsing practice," ex
presses the hope that the Uer,mn and
Jewish bakers, now on a strike, may win
th recognition of their union because tt
wll lead to a further step "to demand
In New York as In other cities, shops
which are not In cellars, which Is cahr
acterlstlo of th factories aa well as the

In the group surrounding the mayor on
the reviewing atand In City Hall park
while the Fourth of July parade was
pasalng was a man who said when the
head of th procession appeared: "Now
watch for inappropriate music," and as
he said It the first band started "Oarry
owen." Than cam "There'll Be a Hot
Time." several . musical Inquiries as to
tut whereabouts one "Kelly," "Dixie,"
"Maryland" and popular quicksteps, but
until tbe Sixty-ninth regiment entered
the park not a strain of patnotlo music
waa heard except "Yankee Doodle" by
tha band opposite the mayor, and this
waa keenly appreciated. The band ofl
the Sixty-ninth played "The Red, Whit
ani -4ue" and aecured a rousing cheer
for the regiment. There waa no lack of
appropriate muslo, however, at the ex
ercises which followed on the city hall
steps.
If Mayor vJaynor aiways gets as fine
a point of view with refrenc to th
great quaatlona that confront him as h
seems lnvarlaoiy to get with reference
to those of minor Import, he will go down
in history a one of the greatest mayors
New York ever knew.
In disapproving a recent resolution
from the board of aldermen providing
for certain "tag dayv for the benefit
of the Day Nursery ir. the borough of
Ric.imond, the mayor said;
"This resolution would authorise the
ladles of the Day Nursery In th borough
ox Richmond to accost people in that
borough 'for the purpose of extracting
coin and other moneys from every pos
sible cltlien on the oocaalon of a tag
day,' Such an authorization la of doubt
ful legality and of more than doubtful
propriety. The collection ef money on
tag day is usually -u a success by
the aid of trnftll ealldren a practice
which should not - be permitted."
' Brakes suddenly shot against wheels jar
ring passengers traveling by a Brighton
Beach train to th ocean breeses, caused
the question, "What's up?" to bues through
the cars. Guards pushed forward. The
train's whlatl was thrHIed alarmingly,
but before . the women had been allowed
time in whloh to faint gracefully it was
announced that a dog was running ahead
between th rails, and that th motorman
didn't hav the heart to ruthlessly run
down th beast
Th dog was a brlndle bull. It was
thought that the soreech of the. whistle
and the shouts ot the trainmen would
drive the bow-wow out of danger, but
the screech and the shouts operated dif
ferently. Th noise put panic Into paws
and no dog avr put more heart into hla
running. Although h knew he waa taking
liberties with the schedule the motorman
persistently refused to be the bewildered
creature'a executioner.
Every time the train drew close to the
brlndle bull there would come a crunch
ing of coupling bars aa speed would be
slackened, and more shouts and whistle
toots.
This was the order until after a run ot
more than two miles King's Highway was
reached. Here the exhausted animal
stumbled and touched his nose agalnat
the current rail. The shock revived him
and he dashed under the forward ear for
safety. After five minutes of fiddling
around with a pole an Italian laborer res
cued the beast and the train proceeded.
A veterinary surgeon was called and shel
ter provided tor the dog.
If the city authorities ever make the
New York Central remove its freight tracks
from th West Bide, there Is one boy who
will lose a novel Job. Hla duty is to ride
ahead of the freight trains from the up
town to the downtown terminal, H la
mounted on an old gray horse which knows
the route aa well as the boy and keeps
about on block ahead of th locomotive
hauling the long string of cars. The boy
waves a red flag to warn paopl of the
train's approach and signals the engineer
of the train, when the trafflo Is clear.
Along Canal street th boy ha been nick
named Paul Revere.
Certain visitors to New York are likely

It la probably quite safe for the Inter
slate Commatre commission to decline to
intervene In behalf of automobiles, on
which the railroads have Increased the
transportation rata. To "soak" the auto
mobiltRt Is the general rule. Traveling In
this country he has something of the un
enviable pre-eminence of the American
tourist abroad. The theory la that he
would not be motoring unless he had more
money than he knows how to spend, and
to help him get rid of It Is felt to be a
neighborly act It ia aald that at many
hotels it la sn Ironclad rule to charge
motorists 26 per cent extra, and garage
bills are staggering even If one has the
luck not to be on a rout where the small
towns pay their bills with th proceed
of spoed trap. Thus whll keeping up sn
automobile Is expensive, the cost by no
means stop there. To be classed with
rich people may be flattering to th trav
eler' self esteem, but It haa Its draw

A Nearbr Analysis of the Prohibition
Vpllft.
Baltimore Sun.
When the great wave of prohibition rolled
over the south there were crle from th
wets that it was undermining and washing
out the foundation of civilisation. Dark
picture wer drawn of tottering common
wealth of Georgia given over to the wolf
and the bobcat, of Mississippi reduced to
the bleak vacuity of Mesopotamia. It waa
announced that millions, perhaps even bil
lions of cltlien would move away, that
mills and foundries by the hundred thou
sand would close, that all commerce and
Industry would, ceaa, that the whole terri
tory couth of th Potomac would hav no
Inhabitant in a few year, save barbarous,
plundering horde of fanatical spinster
and Sunday aohool aupartntendents. There
waa, In brief, a great deal of bitter weep
ing and a great deal of viewing with
alarm. .
The event has given the He to all of
these pessimistic prognostications. The
south atlll lives and the people are still
happy. Their consumption of groceries Is
Just as larg as it ever waa; they are eat
ing Just as many ham, Jowls, beefsteaks
and legs of mutton and Just as much
sugar, coffee and saleratus; they are wear
ing just as many yellow shoes. Pink shirts,
diamond stickpins, fancy vests, plug hat
and suits of store clothes; and most sig
nificant of all they are drinking Just a
many pints, quarts, gallon, barrel, hogs
heads and tons of spirituous fermented
beverages. The brewers and distillers of
the north notice little decline in their trade,
The Internal revenue receipts of the gov
rnnlent from malt liquor have fallen less
than 4 per cent.
And, meanwhile, the moonshiners of the
sub-Potomac mountains are multiplying
enormously and waxing fat. Saving only
political treachery, moonshlnlng now seems
to b the principal occupation ot the Geor
gians. The Industry I alresdy producing

Talks for people
There are merchants who do not
think very much of advertising do
not believe in its power to attract and
hold custom. Yet they want big show
windows in their stores and pay big
salaries to men to dress those windows
and make them attractive:
" Ask them why they do this and they
answer: "Why, to attract the atten
tion of the people who pass here every
day to advertise my store."
How many of the 150,000 people
In Omaha pass a given point during

And of those who do pass, how many

People in the street are there for a
purpose, usually; they are going some
where to a store, probably, whose
advertising in the newspapers has at
tracted them.
And if all the people In' Omaha
should pass your store, and every one
of them stop and look would that in
duce them to come In your store and
buy?
No, sir, it would not. People want
