His speech ut acceptance after being nominated for temporary cbairmau, as contrasted with the' vituperative attack made upon him by Colonel Gruber, was an Important part or tnat illustration. No effort of the opposition to hide be hind President Taft in its attack upon hia predecessor was sufficient to con ceal the inward motive of this organ ization, nor will It have any effect in disguising the fact ihat the result of that contest is entirely satisfactory to the president. l Is own statement some days ago, that'he hoped Colonel Roose velt would succeed, Is answer enough to this. It is not within the nature of things that the boss could bold his own today against the clean political leader, for the conditions that have made the one have unmade the other. The boss has simply consunied himself and paved the way for his more reputable suc cessor. It was Inevitable that in time the people would tire of his domina tion and decide to take matters in their -own hands. They have not com pletely, done this, as yet, but they are doing it very rapidly and when they shall have finished the job it probably will be so well done that a return to the old order will be out of the ques tion. People when they begin tedo their own thinking in politics are not easily bossed and especially so when they take pains enough to find out the character of the bosses. '' Enjoy yourself.

Nobody who knows him will think it at al strange that Mr. Bryan bolts the democratic party's antl-prohibltlon nominee In Nebraska and supports the one In Iowa. Jt Vaa ever thus. "South Carolina may get some new congressmen onco to a while, but they all stand by the jackass," says the News and Courier, Is 'that 'regarded as something to brag about down there? Going to New Orleans for an exposi tion will not help Omaha. The Com mercial club should always throw the velght of Its Influence In favor of its home town. An Increase In bank deposits of mora than 160 per cent in ten years shows fairly well the prosperity that has come to Nebraska . under repub lican administration. Voters should keep this In mind. ' .-. .i. . . The Omaha Ad club Is proposing to do things. This la a good indication, but the club should temper its ambi tion with more than a modicum of prudence. Many excellent undertak ings have eome to grief through trying to do too much. Extending; Efficiency. Having cut down the postal deficit $11,000,000 In a single year, the ad ministration is now preparing for greater efficiency throughout the Post office, department. To this end the president,- acting, upon the recommend ation of Postmaster General Hitch cock, has ordered that the civil service law be extended so aa to include 7,62 2 assistant postmasters and he will recommend to congress that the same provision be made with reference to 7.198 second and third class postmas ters. This Is a remarkable Innovation, but pne that will no doubt soon Justify it self. :It Is a part of the postmaster general's plan of placing his depart ment upon a business and self-supporting basis and ought to be of vast service in accomplishing those highly desired ends. It is folly to continue agitating a business operation and a self-supporting system for the Postof- flce department if the old process of changing all postmasters and assist ants is to be kept up. No successful private enterprise operates on such a basis, and It is absurd to think that the government can conduct so vast an Institution as its Postoffice depart ment that way. Applying the rules of civil service to these 15,000 men will work a revolutfon. The application of the rules to subordinate positions has proved" its wisdom long ago and if it was wise in that case, why should not similar results be achieved in this case? The new order meant the entire elimination of politics from the sys tem. It means putting every man on his merits and applying the simple rules of common sense and practical business to governmental affairs. Tenure of office will bring its rewards in experience and skill. It is one of the best moves the administration has yet made. can get Into the consular service, busi ness is, generally aroused. Very large results must soon begin to pile up. Here Is another place where the Taft administration is supplanting political precedent with business practice. Best System of Irrigation. It appears from the National Irri tation congress at Pueblo that men who have devoted much time and thought to the best methods of con trolling irrigation still have some diffi culty in agreeing. So long as this is the case we may be sure that no sys tem yet proposed is infallible. V The problem is a big one, which time and experience must work out. Cock-sure acrimony will not do it. But so long as the advocates of the' different, sys tems are agreed on the one proposi tion of irrigation and obtaining the bst means of carrying it on, then there Is hope that they will finally come to the right basis. National control seems to have the upper hand thus far, and yet state au thority has ita friends. Mr. Bryan seems to have proposed something worth considering in nig speech at Pueblo, saying: " The water power ought to be utilized and the statea ought to be permitted to make use of It. Hut there is no reanon why the federal government ahould not fix a max imum for perloda for lease of water power and require the statea, In leasing, to de mand proper compensation for the public. Yet even private ownership, or man agement, has Its champions, and they have some facts to back' up their argu ment. Former President George Eames Barstow of the, congress cites history to prove thaf In every land where Irrigation has been employed it was first conducted by private enter prise in India, Syria, Babylon, Egypt, Java, under the subjects and succes sors of Montezuma; in Chili, Peru, Ar gentine and even in the United States, where the results have been wonder ful so wonderful, in fact, as to furnish the inspiration for this whole move ment ef government coritnol. "Bhese facts should not be peremptorily brushed aside. Certainly it would seem that in this country some form of general over charge by the central government must be finally decided on, but in the mean time it will be best to assimilate the good features of other systems and come lo the last solution certain that we have the right one.

The friends of the proposed amendment are greatly surprised at this the New York state convention. In stead of tending to discredit the colonel and drive votes from him, if it had any effect, it must have been in the other direction.' It looked like poor politics from the first. The city health commissioner is be fore the council again clamoring for money to carry on the work of his office. As this is an annual perform ance, people will not be greatly dis turbed by the outcry. They will con tinue to look forward to the day when there will be less politics and more real business in the health commis sioner's department. The Chicago school authorities have a rule for little boys, "Don't run to school" which they promulgated at the opening of the term. It might have been more to the point to suggest that they not run away from school.

Secretary of State Knox is getting great results from hia reform method of picking his men for foreign consular positions ana organizing tne in into a skirmish line for trade for building up American commerce abroad. in the first pace he has reduced the matter of selecting consuls to the most prac tical and meritorious basis and no man can possibly get one of these positions on any consideration other than actual fitness for the ' work. The day has gone by when political pull or prestige cuts the least figure. Careful examin ations are made of applicants as to their character and ability and those who pasa the best x grades get the places. To begin with this insures picked men. Then the next step in the system Is to make each consul an agent for American commerce at his respective station, constituting the whole into a body of foreign "drummers." Fur thermore, every American consulate Is the headquarters of the American busl ness man abroad. He can have his mall sent there, meet his customers there and use the place as a general base of operations. In ract, it is busi ness today, not politics, that these con suls are to look out for. The State de partment will attend to diplomatic matters. Finally, in line "with his Insistent urging of American manufacturers and merchants to study the needs of for eign customers and adapt their goods to them. Secretary Knox has created a system of bringing hi consult back to Omaha and the Exposition. It may be questioned if the action of the Omaha Commercial club execu tive committee In endorsing New Or leans' aspirations to hold the Panama exposition expresses the sentiment of Omaha people. There Is little or no community of interest between Omaha and New Orleans, while, on the other hand, Omaha and San Francisco have been neighbors since the days of the overland trail. Omaha has no com mercial relation with the section of the country that will be most directly benefited by holding an exposition in New Orleans, but all of Omaha's com merce and Industry it bound up with the fortunet of the great empire, An one edge of which is located San Fran cisco and on the other Omaha, while between them stretches directly the great artery of business, the Overland route. Omaha is Inseparably con nected ' with the development of the west and northwest, and nothing can affect this region without equally affecting Omaha. Anything that tends foward its growth, and development will enable this city to grow, and if lOmaha is to share in the full advan tage of the prosperity of this great country, it must take every opportunity to assist in pushing forward that pros perity. If the exposition is. held in San Francisco, as it should be, the' large majority of the travel to and from the exposition will be directly through Omaha and Omaha's imme diate territory, while if It la held at New Orleana all this advantage will be lost. There is every conceivable reason for Omaha joining with San Francisco in the matter of the Panama! celebration, while there is none ap parent on the surface for our assisting j New Orleans.

Prophets of Woe Tell What Trouble . la Coining. Boston Transcript. Some years ago the late Simon New comb gave the reign of fancy to his pro found astronomical knowledge and In a popular magaxlne article described the ap proach of a dead atar directly toward the body of the Sun, and ita final effect upon this planet. when It plunged Into the great luminary It so intensified the heat that everything perishable on our globe was destroyed and It practically returned to primeval chaos. Now Dr. Forbes Wins low, a celebrated English alienist, has made a still more dire prediction for the race and, what is worse, he seems to be serious about It. This la no less than that on the basis ot statistics this will be an ultimately Insane world. A wholly mad world would be Infinitely more terrible than a dead one, and, were we to accept this pessimistic ex pert'a belief without counterbalancing testi mony, the future- of the race would be horrible to contemplate, even allowing for the centuries that would paas before reason ceased to find an abiding place upon the planet- But when doctors disagree It la our privilege to accept the opinion that ia most hopeful.

Apparently the amendment Is nowhere a real issue in this year's campaigns. The danger, as friends of the amendment view the situa tion Is that the amendment will fall, of ratification through neglect. "The real strength of the amendment," says the Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript, "will be demonstrated next January when the legislatures ot twenty-one atatea will meet. These states nro Arkanha.H, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, Louisiana. Nebraska. Nevada, Michigan, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee, Texas. Washington, Wisconsin- and Wyoming. The leglsiutures of Marylund, Massachusetts. New Jersey, New York. Ohio anU Khode Island will also be In seHolon In January, but they arc re gaided in a different light because they have already had an opportunity to pass on the amendment. With the exception of Maryland the legislature of those states deferred action, which probably means that they will be In no huny to act when their legislatures meet again. ( Senator Brown of Nebraska, the author of the amendment, believes that eventually It will be ratified. Plans are now being made by men who are ureatlv interested In seeing the amendment added to the con stitution, to take up with governors of the various states the question of urging rati fication on legislatures. Every governor whose legislature meets next January will be aaked to discuss the subject In his mes sage and to urge upon members of the legislature the Importance of ratifying the amendment. Senator Brown Is particularly active In trying to organize a campaign In favor of the amendment." Almost a newMnterior greeted President Taft on hia return to the Wliite House last Saturday. All summer electricians, paint ers, decorators, carpenters and various other mechanics have been busy bright-, ening up the old mansion. Each of the twenty-odd rooms have been renovated. Hangings have been cleaned, woodwork painted and refinlshed and floora polished. This, all in the White House proper, Over in the executive offices the hand of the mechanic has been Just as busy. Each of" offices which less than a year ago were newly built, have been gone over again. Walla have been painted and some of the rooms have even bean enlarged or made smaller. ' Out In the grounds Improvements have also been made. The old gravel walk and roadway, over which many presidents and their families have trod, have been macad amized. This was done at the order of Mrs. Taft and Mlsa Helen Taft. It will be over thla southern driveway that the women members of the president's family will leave and enter the White House. The northern or main driveway will be used by the public exclusively. The southern balcony, where President Taft was wont to vpend the warm evenings during the tariff debate last year and the early part of this summer, and where many plans for tlye furtherance of the Taft policies were either started or aban doned, has been repainted and made more luxurious with new porch chairs.
