A Jolly Optimist
Mexico's new ambassador to Wash
ington, Senor Manuel de Zamacona, is
a Jolly optimist. He bids fair to become
a most delightful member of the lega
tion circles. He Is Just brief and breezy
enough to fit finely into tbe groove of
our fluent, flippant American life.
Upon his advent he announces to Pres
ident Taft In a short, cheery, formal
address that tbe Mexican war Is now
near Its end, that peace is a matter of
but short time, giving such a Jocular
air to the whole situation as to make
it seem that we had been indulging
needless worry about what was going
on down south. Nor were hit words
without the weight of personal assur
ance. .They were not spoken In Jest,
but in serious earnestness, light and
refreshing as they were.
It is to be hoped the senor has good
ground for Ms airy assurance. It is
earnestly to be hoped that he is talk
ing, as It were, by the card and not
making any promiscuous predictions,
Somehow, though, his burst of confi
dence did not seem to upset the com
posure of the president enough to In
dicate that be was entirely carried
away with the assurance. The next
day after the ambassador's visit the
president proceeded with his plans of
fortifying American Interests on the
border, Just as If no such herald had
come with this token of relief.
If Senor de Zamacona could assure
President Taft that his excellency,
Senor Diaz, had decided to accede to
the demands of the rebels and resign,
then, no doubt, Mr. Taft would mani
fest more emotion . over this roseate
picture painted for his edification.
Washington Is not swept off its feet
by the ordinary run of rumors of peace
so long as Diaz holds the fort. No
doubt certain Important Interests are
opposed to the Diss abdication, but
the greater demands of the common
good call for the speediest possible
settlement of the war and the end of
hostilities even if this can be brought
about only by Diaz' self-sacrifice.
At any rate, they have to keep
within the speed limit while the pave
ments are all cut up for repairs.

Two Parties in the South.
Secretary MacVeagh's advice to the
south to become bipartisan In its poll
tics is sound, though not new. If the
south expects to fix a plaee for itself
on the political map, it will have to
break away from its blind subserviency
to one political party. It has com
plained because democracy has Ignored
It In the selection of its presidential-
candidates, but so long as democracy
can rely upon Its support without in
ducement it is going to do' so, and so
long as the democrats ignore the soutTi
cannot ask recognition from the
opposing party.
It is not a matter of which party
wins in the elections that should
chiefly concern the south, but for its
own good It should become bipartisan.
Long ago its commercial and industrial
Interests demanded it. It is demo
cratic more through mere tradition
and sentiment than anything else. But
an expanding, progressive section can
not afford to follow the bent of in
herited prejudice. The south must
get away from its old moorings or Its
advancement will not be swift.
And there la evidence that it is be
ginning to do this. In the last na
tional campaign there was some fall
ing away from legendary democratic
majorities in the more progressive
states. Georgia, for instance, gave
Taft 41,692 votes and Bryan 72,360,
whereas in 1904 it had given Roose
velt only 24,003 and Parker 83,471.
Tenneasee increased its republican
vote as between these two elections
about 13,000 and has done something
sine in the matter of state politics,
which shows a decided tendency to
ward blpartlsanlsm.
This. Is a government of bipartisan
organisation and only under such a
system may the various states and sec
tions derive the greatest good. But
the south has not allowed itself to
come within the scope of the largest
advantages which this system offers.
Of course, this change cannot, be
brought about in a single year or cam
paign, but it should be begun without
further delay. It will require time to
remove the slow-going conservatism of
the political south, but the best inter
ests of the entire country require
movement.
to cope with the demands upon
them. European capitals are not very
patient of our seeming parsimony,
either. They have on occasions made
it rather uncomfortable, socially, for
some of our representatives. Dr. Hill,
who is not a man of large means,
though of great intellectual powers,
gives as his reason for resigning this
very fact of expense, though it Is
hinted that the doctor's estranged
relations with the kaiser, wh!ch
naturally lessens his Influence in Ger
many, had something to do with It.
Governor Guild is a big man, one
who will do his country great credit at
St. Petersburg, as Mr. Rockhlll baa
done. The nation is fortunate to get
men of this type for such positions.
Our good will and business integrity
abroad depend much upon tnem. The
post at Berlin is one not easy to fill.
It requires, perhaps, more real diplo
macy to meet its demands than any
other in Europe.
i
Omaha at a Gateway.
Few people in Omaha fully realize
the advantages our city enjoys by vir
tue of occupying the strategic position
it does as the principal gateway of
transcontinental travel and traffic.
Few of our people appreciate the
Importance of having the great body
of home-seekers setting out for new
locations" in the west pass through
Omaha, brief here as their stop may
be, from the impetus this gives toward
cementing trade relations with tribu
tary territory in which they settle.
Few of our people yet grasp the im
portance of Omaha taking the lead in
every movement to build up and de
velop the vast untouched natural re
sources in the states to the west of us
as the lever on which Omaha's great
ness will be lifted still higher.
Other cities striving to be trans
continental gateways, "however, are
awake to the situation, as witness the
following from the St. Paul Pioneer
Press urging lively participation in the
promotion of a Northwest Develop
ment league modeled after the West
ern Development association recently
formed in Omaha:
The particular Interest' of Minnesota and
the Twin City In th proposed movement
Is th effect It will have In making th
Twin City the actual, aa It la the natural,
gateway to the great northwest. Chicago,
Omaha and other cities arl fighting for
th territory that naturally tielongs to th
Bt. Paul gateway and, unfortunately for
us, are 1 accomplishing much. Statistics
show that more than 80 per cent of the
settlers In Washington, Oregon and Mon
tana have reached their destinations
through Omaha and Chicago, leaving Min
nesota entirely out ot th calculations.
This result has had its effect in turning
trade through other gateways than that
of th Twin City and In leading home
seekers around Minnesota.
We in Omaha are quite willing that
St. Paul and Minneapolis on tbe north
and Kansas City on the south should
share transcontinental business, but
they should not be allowed to' get
more than their share If by so doing
they leave Omaha with less than its
share. As the gateway of the most
central and direct ocean to ocean
roadway Omaha is entitled to lead
all, except possibly Chicago, and
should uphold and maintain its rights.
Diplomatic Change.
Three of the most important courts
of Europe are to have new American
representatives Berlin, St. Peters
burg and Constantinople. The changes
at the last two have, la fact, already
gone into effect, Curtis Onild, Jr.,
thrice governor of Massachusetts hav
ing been named as ambassador to Rus
sia to succeed W. W. Rockhlll, who Is
transferred it is reported, upon his
own request to Turkey.,. Dr. David
Jayne Hill haa aent in his resignation
as ambassador to Germany, but will
remain at his post until along In the
summer, giving time for the appoint
ment of his successor.
The transfer of Ambassador Rock
hlll may be regarded in the nature of
a promotion, for Constantinople is
one of the most Important foreign
posts and financially it is more at
tractive, since it has an embassy resi
dence free of rent, which is a material
Item. Only at the last session did con
gress act upon the demand for making
provision for our representatives
abroad, who are oppressed financially
and handicapped diplomatically by the
lack of quarters commensurate In dig
nity with the importance of their poal
tlon. This country, to bay nothing of
Its representatives, has suffered from
this cause, and it is high time it was
meeting the need. There Is still com
plaint that It does not pay Its foreign
agents enough salary to enable them
City and county authorities are
wrestling in an effort to adjust un
balanced accounts between the two
agencies of local government. If
Omaha and Douglas county were one
and the same, as is the case with
many large cities and counties In
which they are located, no such prob
lem would be f presented. The time
will come when It will be the city and
county of Omaha.
The Massachusetts supreme court
haa rendered an opinion adverse to
the proposed law to extinguish the use
of the trading stamp as a business-
getter. Our lately .adjourned Ne
braska law-makers put a questionable
anti-trading stamp law on the statute
books, which will doubtless have Its
fate determined before long by a test
In the courts.
If four university professors fall
under the ban for engaging too ac
tively In soliciting members of the
legislature, what la in store for our
old friend, Jasper L. McBrien, who
regularly transforms his Extension
course direction into a whole political
campaign committee for every elec
tion?

OMAHA, April 18. To the Editor of The

Dr. D. K. Pearsons' farewell donation. It
almost equals Paul's farewell tours. Don't
you recall his continual announcement that
he has "given away his lat dollar."
"stripped himself bare." etc., etc. How
has he done It. and then in a short time
makes another donation of 245.tno? The
truth Is he has never yet given away on
single dollar. It Is a fact that he has
made advances to these small colleges,
they, in each rase, being compelled to get
an equal number of the coins from other
sources. And the small college having
gotten something the good D. K. P. then
lets the small college have his money at
per cent per annum, to be paid promptly,
the principal of the sum to be cancelled
by the death of the good Daniel K. P. On
these loans mad to the lor and to
learning there Is no loss of time In In

the Investment of the money again. lit

Increases all the time and many of the
small colleges are having no easy time
meeting Interest on these advances. Rut

HOOPER. Neb., April 17.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Herewith an open letter to
Governor Aldrlch which we ask you to
print:
"W take this means of expressing our
gratitude and approval of the action you
have taken In vetoing legislative bill No.
M7, the telephone merger bill as passed by
th legislature and senate of Nebraska.
"We fully endorse the reason yu have
given for your taking such action on the
bill and rejoice that we have one In the
high and honorable position as governor
of this state that will so truly stand by
the Interest of the people and against the
enrichment of the few.
"By thla action you have conserved to
the people of this state a magnlflcant in
dependent telephone systetn that Is oper
ated at a reasonable rate within the reach
of all and yet quite remunerative to the
stockholders of these Independent com
panies. "You rendered a great service to the
people of Nebraska when you vetoed the
telephone monopoly bill.

The "Social Clab' Nolsanre.
OMAHA, April 18,-To th Editor of The
Bee: Th social club evil can be handled
effectually by the city and county officials,
th mayor, the Bbard of Fire and Police
commissioners, the ch!ef of police, either
or all of these operating Jointly or sev
erally, as the regularly constituted ma
chinery of law enforcement. In the city.
or the county 'attorney, or the sheriff.
Individually, of together, hav it In their
power to elthef provs that these clubs have
a right to conduct affairs as they have,
and thus quiet public questioning, or to
break up the custom permanently.
Th problem q the "social club" la not
th problem Of th Antl-Paloon league.
The organisation does not contemplate In
Us law enforcement program th setting
up of a syte,m;tf law enforcement ma
ch!nry..,;paa)lel;Avltb or-opposed.-to the
legally create Qilnlsterlar force. What
law enforcement is don Is mora exemplary
than vindicatory. '
The reason, as published, by the chief
or ponce, is that when the police depart
ment presents Ita evidence to the county
attorney It is not accepted by him and
when the offending "blind tiger" Is bound
over to th district court that thore the
matter ends.
Mr. English, and his first assistant, Mr.
Magney, hav declared to the writer that
no jury can be obtained in Douglas county
whloh would render a conviction against
the violators of th 81ocumb law. If the
statement of these gentlemen la correct
th eltlsenshlp of Douglas county Is most
venial, and Interference from the state of
Nebraska Is most desperately needed. For
eltlsenshlp that will not convict for the
crime of "bootlegging" would also fall to
convict In any other matter of public In
terest, wher th prejudice of the Jury Is
th arbiter and not th law and th evl
dence.
It is the profound conviction of the
writer courteously insisted upon that the
officials of Omaha, the chief of police
especially has ample power and means to
suppress and to keep so the so-called
"social club" nuisance In this city.
