The danger of pools In politics Is that they too often heroine cesspools. Can you Imagine what Champ Clark Is saying about Mr. Bryan under his breath? Having duly split his party wide open again, Mr, Bryan doubtless is enjoying life to the -full. If Uncle Joe ever did any worrying, he Is in a position now where he can shift it onto the other fellow. That magacine that advertises for true fishing stories" is simply en couraging people in fabrication. Washington, D. C., April 6. C. W. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.: Rush steam roller hy express. (Signed) W. J. B. " A Chicago paper remarks, "Our Jury system needs fixing." The trou ble seems to be that its juries are too easily fixed. The Mexican government la not so consumed in peace plana hut It finds It wise to set aside 14,000,000 more for war purposes. Operations are in progress for an other trade excursion personally con ducted by the Omaha Commercial club. "Hear dem bells?" New York lawyers complain of hard times. It looked like it, the way one tried to force an issue out of the Booker Washington incident "The prosperity of Spokane refuses to atop or linger," eaya the Spokesman-Review. And that ts the way of it in Omaha and surrounding country. "Congress at Work Again," is a cap tion of an editorial in the Dea Moines Capital. It la a misnomer'. "Congress In Session Again," would be nearer to the exact truth. The St. Louts baae ball team owned by a woman has just taken seven suc cessive games from the team owned by a man, which looks like playing to the fair galleries. If beating him for the presidency would get him out of the way, the democrats might resort to the ex pedient of renominating Mr. Bryan. But what's the use? The secret vault where John D. Rockefeller keeps a small portion of his wealth $200.000,000 has been finally located. The other ten vaults have not yet been unearthed. Democratic papers expressing grati fication at the "good beginning" made by Speaker Clark's speech should give him time. He may flop forty differ ent ways before the session ends. A brother of Oovernor Woodrow Wilson has arisen to the city editor ship of a Nashville paper. Perhaps the governor may hope to reach as high a pinnacle if he continues as he la going now.' Minneapolis, Oklahoma and Mis souri have all fallen down on their 2 rent fare and rate reduction laws. Nebraska la going straight ahead with Its passenger and freight rate lawa In full operation and effect. Down at Lincoln the drya ate trying to make political capital out of the number of vacant atore buildings in Omaha. Must be hard up for some thing to explain the number of vacant store buildings in Lincoln. The excuse that the "better ele ment" of Chicago voters stayed at home and thus caused the defeat of the reform candidate for mayor does not satisfy people who have followed closely Chicago's political predellc tlons. The "better element" is not alwava for reform. Roosevelt and the People. I Colonel Roosevelt's Spokane speech must be taken to mean that under no j circumstances would he seekA another presidential nomination. It Is. how- i ever, scarcely more nor lens than a j reiteration of what he has said before I unon the subject and means that he i will net hcrorne a candidate before- 1 hand and would consent to be drafted j only In the event of great emergency j to which no -other man could so well ; respond. He has a right to have what he says accepted In sincerity when he declare that with him It Is a matter of service to the people adding: Tou have not got anything I want e cept your respect and good will. So far as official honor or distinc tion goes, Colonel Roosevelt certainly, as he himself says, has had all that the country rot) Id give him. so why not accredit his explanation of this present tour that It is his way of thanking the people for what they have done for him? Whatever the future may hold for Theodore Roose velt, whether it holds another term as president or not, it Is far-fetched to charge that he is making this tour of the country In the interest of politi cal ambition. It would seem so even if he had not positively declared him Belf. Since he has spoken so plainly, he Is entitled to be taken at his word. Colonel Roosevelt is still a very active man and If he should ever be convinced that his country needed him again at the head of a regiment or In the White House, he probably would respond to his country's call. He Is one man about whom it seems wholly unnecessary to worry. The Auto and the Horse. The Kansas supreme court has Just rendered a decision of much Interest that touches the auto on the one side and the horse on the other. Some time ago an automobile struck a ve hicle drawn by a horse and Injured the driver. He brought suit for damages against the automobile man and won in the lower court. It so happened that the horseman had, in his effort to escape the auto, turned out of the road to the left, Instead of the right, as, of course, all road rules require. But on appeal to the state supreme court the original finding was upheld and the higher tribunal took special note of the fact that the horseman had violated the road rules, as a con sequence of which, It was set up by the autoist, the accident occurred. But the supreme court reasoned that the horseman did this "In time of danger," holding the autoist respon sible for placing him In the danger. For the multiplicity of automobiles over the country the comparative ab sence of such accidents might easily seem remarkable. Yet there are times when the man in the auto ap parently forgets that, with all the rights he has to the road, the horse came a long time before he did and has equal rights, to say the least. Furthermore, the higher rate of speed of the auto as compared with the horse would seem to throw upon it the greater responsibility. ItIs also difficult to control some horses brought into close quarters with autos. No doubt most careful auto lsts realize all this and try to guard against accidents, but it does no harm now and then, where such accidents occur, to call them to public mind, if for no better reason, merel as warn ings. They may help those autoists who really make a serious effort to keep within speed limits and avoid mishaps. Mitchell'! Appeal for Safety. John Mitchell's speech In Philadel phia, in which he pleaded for a greater measure of safety for the man engaged in hazardous occupation, be comes very timely in view of the shocking mine disasters resulting in large losses of life within the last few days. So much has been said on this subject that it would seem difficult to add anything new. but if repetition and reiteration wllj serve to awaken employers and the government to more adequate means of protecting life it will be labor well spent. Mr. Mitchell has recalled that,-tak ing all mining countries, the average annual number of industrial fatalities n foreign lands Is 1.45 per I.UOO men, whereas in the United Stat s it la 3.48 per 1,000, nearly three times as many In the United States as abroad. Why? That is naturally the first question that suggests itself. Is the American employer more indif ferent to the Uvea and safety of his men than the European employer? If he were not, would this disparity ex ist? That Is a question everyone may answer for himself. One thing seema certain the American em ployer or mine owner la not careful enough or this awful destruction of human life would not continue as it does. According to Mitchell, who ought to know, and to Colonel Roosevelt, who made a recent study firsthand. the mining machinery is not equipped with the best practical safety devices. This should not be so. The mine op erators of this country certainly are making enough profit out of their in dustry to throw about the lives of their men every protection which modern iugenulty can provide. "What the men want." says Mitch ell, "la not ao much compensation for injury as protection from injury." That is the proposition exactly. Bet ter far save a man's leg to him, if that be possible, than to let blm lose It and then try to offset the loss with money compensation. If the big in dustrial plants did not pay out ao much money to lawyers fighting claims for Injuries on technical grounds probably they would nave more to Invest In safety appliances and thus reduce the number of In juries and damage suits. This would also cultivate a better spirit on the part of the employe. Arc figures quoted by Mitchell the em ployers liability companies paid out ,0 lnJure,l workmen between 1894 and 1 f 0 5 f 43,n9M9S, which was 43 per cent of what they took in and 35 per cent of this sum paid out went into lawyer fees. An Uninspired Prophecy. If Thomas B. Reed could enter the house of representatives' today and see what changes have been made in the power of the speaker since he held that position he would, un doubtedly, admit that it had under gone a revolution. Reed, who was titled "Czar" because of his style of controlling the house, made this declaration in congress nineteen years ago, as recently recalled In debate by Congressman Henry of Texas: I hae been fifteen years In congress and I never saw a sfieaker's decision over ruled snd you will never llv to tea It, either. He was not addressing "Uncle Joe," although Mr. Cannon was a member of that congress and, more than any other man today, must feel that prophecy was not one of the elements that made a great man of Speaker Reed. If Reed was a czar, then Can non must have been a despot as speaker, to judge from the opposi tion's estimate. At any rate, the later tendency toward autocratic power In the speaker Is what finally brought the culmination of complete change in the house rules. Time and again the speaker was overruled and once all but removed from the posi tion. Looking at Speaker Reed's declara tion now In the light of history, one may be able to appreciate the signifi cant changes made in this brief period. And it cannot be doubted that In the end the majority of the changes will prove to be toward more responsive government and therefore desirable. It was only a little while ago that to have done certain things in the senate, which we have seen of late, would have been denounced as an assault upon that heirloom of tradition senatorial courtesy. There never was any good reason for Indulg ing much of this so-called courtesy, but it will take a long time to get back to it now, If, indeed, it can ever be done. , Put a Lid on the Pool Halli. Even though the excitement of the community over recent holdups and murders may have been abated, it still remains the duty of t,he council to tighten up on the- pool halls, which are notoriously the biding place of young toughs and suspicious characters. A properly conducted pool hall may be a wholesome place of recreation, but there Is no good reason why such a resort should be an all-night ren dezvous for indiscriminate patronage. An ordinance proposed a few months ago to establish midnight closing for pool halU got lost some how in the city council. This ordi nance should be resurrected, and the closing hour moved up to 10:30 o'clock at night for week days and earlier for Sundays, and the pool halls made to understand that they will have to observe the closing time or go out of business. This would in no way Interfere with the operation of these pool hails as legitimate amusements resorts, but, on the contrary, should work for their improvement, to say nothing of the relief afforded to the general com munity. Several more vetoes are due from Governor Aldrlch, among them a veto of the bill requiring publication of constitutional amendments In two pa pers of different political faith In each county instead of in one. This bill comes within the governor's definition of "playing politics." Two years ago, to get this patronage away from re publican papers, the democratic legis lature transferred the designation of the papers from a republican secre tary of state to a democratic governor, and now that we have a republican governor again, the very same demo crats seek by this meana to keep what they had purloined even though doubling the expense. The governor may under the present law designate more than one paper in a county where desirable, but there is no good reason why he should be compelled to designate two in each county. The local democratic organ Is as frantic in ita appeal for a'guoerna torlal veto of the telephone merger bill as it wag in Its protests against the veto of the Omaha charter bill. In the meantime Governor Aldrich will make sure he la right and then go ahead. It goes without saying that every one of our Omaha city officials should use more money than la at hla disposal under charter limitations. That's nothing, however, for so coulJ all the rest of us use more money than the condition of our pocketbooks would Justify. According to the World-Herald Governor Aldrich has no business un der any circumstances to use his veto pen on any measure duly enacted by the legislature, but If he will only veto the telephone merger bill it will applaud him for once. Postmaster Thomas la hurrying to Washington to sava his meal ticket again. Aa hla case now stands, the ! I shake-down of post office rtnploe ab solutely never occurred, and anyway none of the money which the em- j iployes admit paying on l is demand i ever got within reach of the innocent post master.

The German chancellor evidently believes In tje "good old way. the simple plsn. that they may take who have the power and they msy keep who can." It Isn't a very high Ideal, but It Is to be feared the world Is likely to keep on along that line for soma time yet. Farcical Scene at Trial. Baltimore American. The emotionalism of the Camorrtst trial In Itnly takes on a farcial appearance In astonished American eyes. If scenes could be possible In the courts here as are re cited as taking rlace In Vlterho, mob law would soon take the administration of Jus tice Into Its own hands. HANDOUTS FOR OMAHA. Falrbury News: The Bee Is advocating a larger police force for Omaha. We had supposed with Jim Dahlman for mayor they would be able to dispense with police duty. Grand Island Independent: The harem skirt has appeared on the streets of Omaha and caused not a little amusement. But the actress secured several columns of ad vertisement Out of It. Rusnvflle Recorder: As usual th red nosed brigade of Omaha are sending out their annual chestnuts about the prisoners of Kansas and Nebraska. These cheerful liars must think tha rest of Nebraska Idiots. Kearney Democrat: The bloodhound as a criminal catcher has proven a miserable failure In Omaha. The dog may be all right to traok a .criminal In the country over an undisturbed road, but In a city where the ' trail Is covered and recovered by many other tracks, the hound is a failure. Springfield Monitor: With the dynamit ing of Douglas county's million dollar court house and tha murdering of one of Its lead ing citliens, all within a few days, last week, shows up pretty bad. It would be a great relief If the guilty parties would be captured and brought t Justice, or even If the motive for the deis could be dis covered people would feel easier. Tekamah Herald: Judge George A. Day of Omaha waa holding a term of court In Burt county for th first time, although he has been a Judge in this district for eight years. In speaking with the editor about Burt county's court house, he said It reminded him of the story of th dam by the mill site. Tie said that we had a good site for a court house, but ther was no court house by a site. Kearney Hub: After a great deal of time and trouble In getting a new Omaha charter bill through the Nebraska legis lature, which Is the principal Job of nearly every session. The Hee advises Governor Aldrich to veto It. This serves aa a fre quent reminder that this clans of special legislation ought to be kept out of legls latures and that all charter-making ought to be done under a general statute, or else all cities Of first or second class should be given authority to adopt their own charters without referring tha same to the legislature. Hasting Tribune: Omaha wants to be the new division of th railway mall serv ice which Assistant Postmaster General Stewart recommended In his report. The proposed new mall division Is to embrace Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. It Is pointed out by those who are Interested In securing th headquarters In Omaha that Washington would be twenty-four hours closer to Mi headquarters If It were located In Omaha than It would b If the head quarter were located In Denver or some other western city. Hera's hoping that Omaha gets what she is after. People Talked About Penator John Bharp Williams is occupy ing the desk in th capltol one used by th historic Jefferson Davis.

OMAHA, April lo To the editor of The Hee; The cltigrns of Monmouth I'ark school district are opposed to the proposed erection of an eight-room addition on th noith side of present school, for the fol lowing reasons: 1. It would spoil the present school site and would he an eesore to the residents of this dlt'trlct for the next thirty of forty years. 'I. It would tut down the size of 'he p!nrounil to such an extent that the children would be forced to play In the street, and. 3. The erection of an eight-room build ing on the north aide would place the north end of the school out twenty-six feet be yond the houses along the south side of Meredith auenue. It Is proposed ss a compromise that we accept an erection of four rooms on the north side for the present and at some time In the future there would be erected an additional four rooms on the south sidj. making In all a slxteen-room school. We are opposed to any plan which would result In the erection of four rooms at a time, for the reason that It would take In the neighborhood of $26 0)0 to erect either wing, leaving only $10,000 for future use. When the time came for the erection of the other wing the people would have to appropriate another I1S.0O0 to complete It. The two pieces of property lying to the west of the present school can be pur- cnasen at a reasonable figure (and this will have to be done sooner or latert, mak ing It possible to erect an eight-room ad dition on the west, also increasing the beauty of the school site and enlarging the playgrounds so the children can be ac commodated without being forced Into the street. , These are the facts in the case, and the citizens of Monmouth Park district t . position of the proposed plan have adopted resolutions retting them forth snd urging that the school board purchase the prop erty on the west of the present site to permit the erection of the new sdditlon.
