To the Pencil-Pushers: Welcome
to our city.
This weather is enough to justify
even the peek-a-boo shirtwaist.
Just think of what Old Sol must be
doing to Houston, Tex., these days.
Still, the Honorable Loriraer does
not seem to be the social lion of the
senate.
"What la a mince pie?" asks the
New York World. A delicacy one

"Bryan Creating Strife," is the un
prorane caption over a Houston Post
editorial. Come on, colonel, out with
it "Bryan Raising Hell."
Mr. Carnegie is pleased with Judge
Gary's steel talk. That Is well. .But,
logically, then, he must be displeased
with what Mr. Gates said.
If Omaha knows what is good for
her she will put on her best bib and
tucker and keep a smiling face while
the editors are "in our midst."
An exchange discusses "Why Actors
are Becoming Uninteresting." The
reason may be that there are so many
medlocres and so few real start.
These are the days when the fellow
who pays his water rent by the year
is ahead of the game as compared with
the fellow who has to meter his.
They are now about ready to "un
cover" the Maine. At the rate they
have been working they ought to be
gin to "raise" within another year.
It appears that the chief obstacle
besetting democratic progress is the
Hon. William J. Bryan, who insists on
showing irp the party's inconsistencies.
The competition for supreme Judge-'
ship nominations in Nebraska this
year seems to be all on the republican
side of the fence. There must be a
reason.
Wonder if this attempt of Washing
ton to kidnap our Omaha superin
tendent of schools can be laid to Con
gressman Lobeck's landing on the Dis
trict committee.
And still. In spite of all the govern
ment can do toward convicting the
get-rich-qulck fakirs, some people will
go right on buying every gold brick
offered to them.
Now that the postal deficit has been
wiped out. Just where does the credit
for the achievement belong? We wait
the convenience of the muckraker
magazine for the answer.
The popularity of the pulpit orator
Is pretty well tested by the number of
invitations to deliver baccalaureate
sermons. The young folks usually
know who ran keep them awake.
A contemporary says a burglar may
as well leave his photograph nowadays
as to work with bare hands, so adept
are experts in the finger print science.
Yet, a good many thieves who are
barefaced as -well as bare-handed
seem to be escaping punishment
Governor Woodrow Wilson ven
tures to approve the course of the
democrats in congress on the wool
tariff, which Mr. Bryan denounces. If
he is not careful the governor of New
Jersey will be iu Just as bad with Mr.
Bryan as is the governor of Ohio.
Avoid the Democratic Trap.
Republicans should be able to avoid
the democratic traps set to trip them
up in disposing of tariff matters in
the senate. By simply standing on re
publican principles and platform
pledges, consistently maintaining the
party's record on the tariff they
should get through without embar
rassment to their appeal to the peo
ple In 1912. The democrats are the
ones who are mixing political medi
cine with the tariff, seeking to make
campaign capital out of every turn in
the tide of affairs Just now. Mr.
Bryan himself says so.
If the republicans act wisely the
words of Colonel Roosevelt at the out
set of the last national campaign will
do for a slogan again:
. We face the future with our past and
present as guarantors of our promises; we
are content to stand or fall by the record
which we have made and are making.
The democratic free list bill, which
passed the house, is now in committee
in the senate and the democratic lead
ers In attempting to get it out pro
pose to make their action a lever to
drive, if possible, a wedge Into the
ranks of the republicans. This free
list bill was conceived in trickery and
is nothing more than the instrument
by which the democrats, favoring rec
iprocity merely as a political expedi
ent hope to compass the defeat of
the president's plan. For them to set
up the plea now of "inconsistency and
cowardice" against the republicans
who may be opposed to giving free
rein to this weapon in the senate, is
most transparent sophistry. The re
publicans should not allow themselves
to be cajoled or deceived into yielding
support to a purely partisan trick. If
they stand by sound republican tariff
doctrines they will not err and need
fear no consequences.
A Olad Hand to the Editors.
Omaha extends a glad hand to the
editors of -Nebraska who are gather
ing here for the annual session of
their State Press association. Omaha
is particularly delighted to welcome
the editors because their presence
here will give ua a chance to get bet
ter acquainted, and we are supremely
confident that better acquaiutance
will work toward mutual advantage.
Omaha must always be willing to be
judged by what it is, by the character
of our people, by the strength of our
business and financial enterprises, by
the high rank of our educational insti
tutions, the activity of our churches
and religioua and charitable organiza
tions, the beauty of our public and
private buildings, by our boulevards
and parka and by the general standard
of our social life. . Omaha naturally
objects to being misjudged on mere
rumor, or report, or aa a consequence
of deliberate falsehood and misrep
resentation by people who do not
know what they are talking about,
and will not take the trouble to in
form themselves.
If Omaha can impress the visiting
editor during their stay with the
broadness of Its public spirit and re
move prejudices grown out of the idea
that the metropolis is actuated only
by selfish motives, dlsregardful of all
others' interests, something worth
while will be accomplished. The peo
ple of Omaha know better than any
one else that the growth and prosper
ity of this city have gone hand In hand
with the growth and prosperity of the
whole state, and that it is as necessary
for us to help build up and develop
all parts of Nebraska as it is to build
up Omaha.
So the editors are especially wel
come, because they come to see, not
only for themselves, but also for those
to whom they speak through their
newspapers. So we want them to
look at us Just as we are and take
home with them the same friendly
feeling forus that we. have for them.
The Weather.
Bill Nye used to say he liked
weather. Most people do not, though,
to judge from the average man's dally
remark of the weather. It is the one
subject of common complaint, about
which, perhaps, more foolish talk is
Indulged than most any other.
People, thoughtlessly and unwit
tingly comment on the weather, no
matter what it may be. Still when one
complains a little because the mercury
goes close to 100 in the first days of
June he must not be judged too se
verely and put down as a chronic
kicker One thing may be said,
though, in extenuation for this sud
den blaze of glory on the part of Old
Sol, and that is that he is playing no
favorites. It is hot all over the coun
try, only hotter in some places than
others. We naturally look for hot
weather in the summer time, but this
is not summer time. That glad season
is not due to arrive until 8 o'clock on
the morning of June 22.
In this part of the country, how
ever, the weather thus far this year
has given us no just cause for serious
complaint. On the other hand it has
been a well-nigh ideal spring. Cool
days held on Just long enough and
precipitation has been normal, while
no late frosts came to nip our fruit
and grain and vegetables. As a re
sult we are looking forward to good
crops in all these lines. We are more
fortunate in this respect than people
In some other parts of the country.
In pert Ions of the east the month just
past was the driest May in forty
years. And even now, while we have
been sweltering in the rays of a hot
sun, others have been sweltering in
the rays of a hotter one, incredible
as that may seem. .
With the records, or rather lack of
records, kept in the Douglas county
hospital, it Is absolutely impossible to
j toll how much It costs the taxpayers
to keep an inmate there. Here is a
j place where there Is evidently room
for reform with a big R.
Mr. Carnegie Becomes Looquacious,
Mr. Carnegie's blunt candor in ap
proving Judge Gary's testimony before
the house steel investigation commit
tee lends additional point to John W.
Gates' criticism of Carnegie as "a bull
in a china shop."
"The 25 and 30 per cent profits will
be no more," observes the outspoken
Scotchman. "People will have to be
content with 5 and 10 per cent.
Muiti-milliona'lres will then be very
scarce."
So there have been 23 and 30 per
cent profits on muchly watered stocks.
Well, if government control, which
Mr. Carnegie Invites and commends,
will tend toward such a leveling of
conditions it might serve a good pur
pose. All that fair-minded men ask
of the government is that it prevent
unfair dealing and the suspicion will
prevail among the majority of people
that 25 and 30 per cent profits, which
go to multiply colossal individual for
tunes, rest on unfair dealing.
Mr. Carnegie is right when he says
this country will deal liberally with
capital. It always has and it always
will, it must depend upon capital for
its progress and development and It
would not, if it could, cripple Industry
merely for the sake of controlling it.
We doubt if any of the so-called
"kings of commerce" really have any
fears of being unfairly treated by the
government. If these men will Join
frankly with the government in a sin
cere effort to reduce corporation reg
ulation to a scientific and equitable
basis they will do their country and
themselves a much better service than
by continuing to sound false alarms
every time anything Is said of govern
ment control. It Is, of course, encour
aging to note how many of them are
doing this, too.
Britain's Eebuke to Morocco.
The British government's action in
wit .rawing its invitation to Morocco
to send a special ambassador to the
king's coronation because of cruelties
practiced by the Moor soldiers upon
women and children at Fez during the
recent raid is a just rebuke to a na
tion permitting this barbarity. The
soldiers seized and sold women and
girls on the streets of the capital with
perfect Impunity from, the sultan.
Thus England serves notice on Mulal
Hafid and bis people that Christian
civilization neither countenances nor
condones such atrocities. And Eng
land, under the circumstances, could
do no less. Occidental progresslveism
could endure no less. It is a good
time to fling in the face of Morocco
and Turkey this signal of official dis
pleasure at such inhumane practices.
Of course MoBlemism has ever
held woman in cheap derision at best,
and outrages of this kind are to be
laid to that, but, nevertheless, they are
intolerable in the eyes of enlightened
powers, which have a duty toward hu
manity and toward the unfortunate
people who still pursue these medieval
customs that cannot be performed by
seeming to justify or acquiesce in
them. We may not teach the full les
son in. this single act of England's,
but we will at least make Morocco
understand that so long as it commits
these outrages it cannot be admitted
to the respect of the powers that
do not. England has not only given
Morocco Its deserts in this instance,
but it has treated other nations with
eminent respect by distinguishing
them and the Moors.
t
The call is out for a meeting of
the republican state committee, and
presumably the democratic state com
mittee will likewise be convened be
fore long. If it were not for occas
ional harmless exhibitions of this kind
the people would not know that there
was any such thing as party machines
in these reform days.
"Leave me out of it," pleads Mr.
Bryan, speaking of the race for 1912.
Can he want to be taken to mean the
contrary, since that is what the people
have done three times, when he ad
jured them not to leave him out.
The Twelfth ward is the biggest
ward in Omaha, which probably ac
counts for the fact that it has so many
statesmen willing to sacrifice them
selves to that prospective council

"PINAFORE'S" LIBRETTIST.
W. S. Gilbert's Contribution to the
Enjoyment of Mankind.
New York World.
The late Sir W. 8. (albert will long be
held In affectionate remembrance wherever
a tune from "Pinafore" or "The Mikado"
or "Patience" Is sung throughout the
English-speaking world.
His "Bab Ballads" of themselves were a
rare ( contribution to the fund of English
humor, but It was by hla "books" of the
seriea of operettas with which his own
and Sir Arthur Sullivan's fame Is associ
ated that his gift for graceful satire wu
made familiar literally to millions. They
constitute a unique light literature, un
matched of Its kind. He waa by ail odda
the greatest of English librettists and his
work so fully complemented that of the
composer that any division of honors is
difficult In estimating the qualities that
contributed to the remarkable success of
the seriea of perennially delightful comic
operas.
Gilbert was another of the many British
barristers who have fumed from the law
to achieve fame In literature. Not the
least of the merits of his delightful Irony
Is its uniform sweetness and cleanness.
Not a coarse line soils It anywhere and
behind its lightness lies the force of graver
satire. He exemplified conspicuously the
characteristics that invest English humor
with a peculiar distinctiveness as a
medium for pure fun.
By a coincidence of interest, Gilbert's
death occurs on the day of "Pinafore's"
revival In New York. The audiences which
see that work can pay him a graceful
tribute by pausing to reflect on the debt
due him for a literary possession that will
remain a Joy for years to come.

Hepnrts received at the War department
Indicate the great success of the course
of Instruction for field officers of the
cavalry arm at the mounted school at Fort
BJIey. The work has Included practice in
the English saddle seat, mot of the of
ficers never having been on an English
saddle. The system of "method 6f training-"
as taught at the school was put Into
practice from the beginning of the course.
Every day the officers were mounted on
the Jumper class. As soon as the officers
learned to ride these horses at a gallip, a
small Jump was put In, and from that time
on the members of the class have had
Jumping every day. The achievements In
superior horsemanship are greater than
was expected. Incidentally, there have
been lectures given with practical demon
strations In horsemanship and hlppology.
The commissary general of the army haa
received an Interesting report fnm Captain
L. It. Holbrook of the subsistence depart
ment, who Is the chief commissary of the
maneuver division at Han Antonio, on the
subject of the field bread which haa been
produced at the division bakery. The
bakery has supplied field bread to the en
tire division, with the exception of the
Eleventh cavalry. Six wagons, carrying
about lO.Ono pounds of bread, leave the di
vision bakery at 6:30 a. m. dally. The field
bread has improved In quality, uniform
abearance and In the simplicity of manu
facture. The general method la now so
nearly like that of making fresh bread
that It Is possible to pass from one type
of bread to the other at any time before
the bread Is panned. It has been found
that the best-shaped loaf la the almost
rectangular In form, and in making It in
this way It is molded precisely as fresh
bread, it Is stacked in wagons wh the
least poHsible' loss of space. It has been
possible with four men to load a wagon In
about one hour.
The pressure upon the administration
from people in the neighborhood of Boston,
who object to the playing of base ball on
the military reservation at Fort Banks,
Mass., haa been too much to withstand.
I'P to within a week or two the War de
partment haa successfully resisted the
influences which have been exercised on
members of congress and the president In
order to bring about the prohibition of this
diversion at Fort Banks. Hitherto, the
War department has taken the position
that the general public could easily refrain
from attending a base ball game held on
a military reservation and that there was
always abundant opportunity for people
to avoid being shocked by any departure
from the observance of Sunday not In ac
cordance with fhelr ideas. Lately the
activity on the part of the New England
critics has been renewed with considerable
fervor of expression. It waa asserted that
the Sunday baae ball games at Fort Banks
constituted a menace to the dignity, and
presumably the morals of the civilian com
munity. Care had been taken at that post
to see that the games were not in any way
a disturbance of the day or an intrusion
upon the quiet of those in the neighbor
hood of the reservation. Now, it has been
decided that the playing of base ball at
Fort Banks, at least, shall be "suspended
until farther orders."
Representative Cox of Indiana believes'
that there would be economy achieved by
abolishing the provision for mileage In the
case of army officers traveling under or
ders and the substitution of "actual trav
eling expenses for each mile traveled and
no more." as contemplated In a bill (H.
R. 10366). This is the subject of more or
lens famlllarty to service people. Every
now and then someone brings out this
proposition and Mr. Cox, who has Inter
ested himself In military and naval ex
penses this ression, Is the latest reformer
to bestow thought and effort In that direc
tion. In the first place, under Mr. Cox's
bill, the existing table of distances, author
ized by the law of 1906 and prepared by the
paymaster general of the army, would be
abolished as a means of directing routes
of travel and In its place would be estab
lished the "nearest post routes," used
prior of the law now In force. This would
do away with the uniform table for the
payment of mileage and there would be
much confusion on the part of those who
travel under orders. In the next place,
experience has shown that the actual ex
pense basis for official travel is cumber
some and inconvenient aa a form of reim
bursement, as it requires the preparation
of numerous papers and certificates of ex
penses incurred. For this reason the gov
ernment has established a statutory mile
age rate which has proven eminently satis
factory to all concerned and economical
In the long run.
One of the most important measures pre
sented to the Sixty-second congress la the
bill (S. ff,18), Introduced by Senator du
Pont, chairman of the senate military com
mittee, to provide for raising the volunteer
forces of the United States In time of ac
tual or threatened war. The measure haa
the approbation of the .War department
and is a comprehensive provision for or
ganising the volunteer force along practi
cal lines, expeditiously, and with an avoid
ance of the confusion and delay which may
occur, aa It did In 1898. unless there la soma
special arrangement made to meet such a
contingency. Great care haa been exer
cised In drafting this bill so that when
military conditions require It the land
forces of the country may be organised
Into brigades and divisions and such
higher units aa may be deemed necessary.
The bill avoids the provision of previous
measures for high-ranking general officers,
which feature waa calculated to provoke
much discussion and stand in the way of
the enactment of legislation of which there
is vital need. It ia appreciated at the
capltol that the sentiment in the house, at
least, is decidedly in opposition to any pro
vision for general officers in connection
with the organization of a volunteer force.
The conservative view la one which rec
ognises the Influence of this prejudice and
seek to avoid the obstruction In a way
which has been accomplished by Mr. Cki
Pont's bill. The object of the measure la
one which should, of course, engage the
attention of congress as soon as possible,
and Senator du Pont will direct hla ener
gies to that laudable end.

a year, 1 guess
Blnce me and Mamie used to wander
there;
She hsd a blue bead neekloce and a frilly,
pinky dress.
And awful big bow ribbons on her hair.
REFRAIN.
Oh, the brook we used to wade In and the
tree we used to climb.
And I've always, always kept this faded
rose.
And my heart Is ever fondly looking back
ward to that time
That summertime when me and her waa
beaus.
But Mamie's gone away now she had to
go to work j
Phe's In a big department store. I guess.
And I'm a rising office boy, next year 1 11
be a clerk
And write to people from the firm's ad
dress. But still I'm looking backward to when I
was a kid;
It makes me feel so grown-up, old, and
wise
To recollect 'bout Mamie and the childish
things we did
Before we said our sorrowful good-bys.
REFRAIN.
Oh, the picnics Hint we went on and the
straw rides that we had.
And Mamie In her frilly, pinky clo'es.
But that was 'most a year ago, when we
were young and glad
That summertime when her and ma was
beaus.
