Senston by Direct Vote.
The adoption by the senate by more
than the required two-thirds vote on
the resolution submitting s constitu
tional amendment for the direct popu
lar election of senators marks an
epoch in the history ot the republic.
It Is the culmination of an agitation
and growingpopular demand extend
ing over a third of a century. -
Although such sn amendment has
repeatedly had the approval ot the
house, the senate has now for the first
time recorded Itself In favor of this
change, and while the amendment Is
not yet .actually submitted, because
passed by ths senate In a different
form from that passed by the house,
it is only a question ot a short time
when both will have to agree on ths
same form. In voting on the resolu
tion, and particularly on the amend
ment eliminating the clause that
would deprive the federal government
of all possibility of control of sena
torial elections, the democrats have
exposed themselves to the charge of
insincerity, or they at least admit that
their desire for direct election of sena
tors Is not strong enough to overcome
their devotion to the states' rights
tradition, which they would ; bee to
overturn the Fifteenth amendment -
This great step forward toward
election of senators, by direct vote of
the people is especially gratifying to

Million a Day for Roads.
Logan Walter Page, director of the
federal public roads department, Is au
thority for the statement that within
a comparatively short time we will be
spending $ 1,000,000 a. day for the bet
terment of our roads. That Is enough
to cheer on the apostles who have been
preaching good roads and enlist oth
ers In the cause. This year, he esti
mates, more than $140,000,000 will be
spent, as compared with. 80,000,000
In 1904. So we are some little dis
tance from the mlllion-dollars-a-day
mark yet.
But perhaps after all' It Is the
method of Investing this money that
counts ss much or more than the
amount. At least we have heretofore
lacked method, as much as money.
The good roads movement, to be most
effective, must be local as well as na
tional: each city, countr and state
1nust lend Its co-operation. .The move
ment Is effectually obstructed often
where adjoining communities In the
same state do not work together. ,
Much progress, on the whole, is be
ing made' with. good, roads now, for
most people are coming to Bee its eco
nomical side. The country is scarcely
to be blamed far not having made
greater . headway, since it has been
consumed with the more primal tasks
of opening up and settling new lands
and providing 'the basic elements of
commerce and industry. Everything
In Its order snd good roads are now in
order.
The Woman of It .
In filling the vacant prlncipalshlp
of the High .school members of the
Board of Education must expect pres
sure from the friends of the Various
candidates, and particularly of the
assistant principals In line for promotion.-
The debate whether a woman
should 1e properly considered for the
place strikes us as altogether out of
place. Because no woman has ever
been principal of our High school is
no conclusive reason why no woman
should ever be chosen. But no woman
should be chosen merely because she
is a woman any more than a man
should be preferred over a wonian
merely because he la a man. The
only points which in our judgment
ought to be considered are the ap
plicant's education, teaching experi
ence, executive ability and probability
of rendering good service for a
reasonable period of time. 1 a
woman measures up to these require
ments and promises to fill the bill bet
ter han a man, let it be a woman. It
a man has superior qualifications and
claims, the man should be chosen.

Ko Prize Fightinjj in Wyoming,
It pugilists and professional price
ring promoters carry out their deter
mination of setting up business in
Wyoming, they will have to knock out
Governor Carey first. The governor
is ss much determined to prevent prize
fighting ss they are to have It. Last
winter he vetoed a bill passed by the
legislature legalising fistic bouts, and
his action was a solar plexus blow to
the fraternity, which had counted on
breaking down all leqal barriers and
getting into Wyoming, as they have
done in Nevada. Evidently while the
pugilists "took the count" in this
match with the governor, they did not
leave off trying for a return engage
ment. Of late they have been holding
"boxing matches" in different counties
in disregard of the law. Now the gov
ernor comes back with another stiff
yppercut In the form of an order to
law officers to make wholesale arrests
and prosecutions, if necessary, to stop
prise fighting.
Governor Carey will win in the end,
and by so doing will perform a val

but too the country at large, which

Ex-CongTenman Doney.
The death of George W. E. Dorsey

congress three successive terms in ths

was sent to the house st Washington,
Nebraska had but, three members, so
that be spoke fpr a constituency com
prising a third of the whole state.
congressman Dorsey s official career
was In the main successful snd cred
itable, his misfortunes breaking upon
him later. Had Mr. Dorsey been

would have been mourned by thou
sands of friends ss a great loss to ths
state, where now only the old-timers

Shutting Off Competition.
Edwin F. Atkins, head of ths Amer
ican Sugar Refining company, seems
to make a fairly good witness for con
gress In ths probing of ths Sugar
trust, for he flatly admits his disap
proval at ths time of the late Mr.
Havemeyer's policy of squeesing ths
life out ot smaller competitors to es
tablish a monopoly for the Havemeyer
Interests. He also frankly declares
that noncompetition and monopoly
was the purpose of this policy and
that it was, as a mater of fact, the di
rect result.
"Did you expect through this means
to avoid some of the competition?"
was asked Mr. Atkias by the chairman
of the committee.
"Well, I suppose that It had some
effect of that kind" is his reply. .
It was in 1887 that the American
Sugar Refining company was organ
ized and Representative Madison of
Kansas (a member of the house Inves
tigating committee) asked Mr. Atkins
if, previous to 1887, there was free
competition in rsw and refined sugar
in this country.
"Yes," Mr. Atkins said, "there was
free competition."
"Ton wished to avoid that competi
tion T" Mr. Madison continued, "and it
was for that reason that Mr. Have
meyer gathered together yon and
about a dozen other sugar manufac
turers tor making, an agreement to
eliminate this competition, was . It
not?"
"Well," Mr. Atkins said, "the prin
cipal object was to reduce the cost of
production."
And In spite of all . the specious
pleadings to ths contrary every one of
these trust moves is toward the same
en 4 of monopolization by shutting off
competition. Nor yet has a aingie one
been able to prove that Its restraint
of trade was not "unreasonable." The
government is to be congratulated on
the damaging admissions that have
been forced from ths head of this
great monopoly, which should make
good evidence in later court proceed
ings. The Rev. Charles F. Aked recently
said in an address In San Francisco:
"I challenge you (the men) to name
a time and a country where the fran
chise has been extended to a previ
ously unenfranchised class who at the
time of their enfranchisement were as
capable of exercising the franchise as
the American woman is today." The
challenge will not be accepted, regard
less of what- any mere man may think
of the desirability of woman suffrage.

Fremont Tribune: The World-Herald
has taken laaue against Mr. Bryan on the
wool aohedule. It stands with Chairman
Underwood and the majority of the demo
crats ef the houae In favor of a tariff on
raw wool. Mr. Bryan haa stubbornly In
sisted upon free wool. For this the Wbrld
Herald haa rebuked him. In the course of
Its crusade It haa presented a cartoon of a
democratlo houne presenting the consumer
with a half loaf as better than no bread
This attitude Is significant, for the World
Herald has taken strong ground against
President Taft and his administration for
having given the people a tariff bill that
did not. In its judgment, go as far in the
way of reducing the rates as ahould have
been done. When the president signed the
bill he said It was not what he wanted, but
It waa the best that could be had under the
circumstances and he would accept It
rather than get nothing. He favored the
half-loaf plan a against no bread, just
ine wona-Herald is now doing. But the
president was denounced for It, while the
democrats are praised. It makes a differ

Fourth Aaalvereary mt the
Official Stare sa4 Strli
Why Is Flag dayt
Various Ideas are rooted In the publk)
mind as to the origin and reason for
designating June 14 as a day for honoring
the flag as a symbol of the republic. Borne
think it is a safety vulva which relieves
the pressure on the national boiler which
explodes on July 4. Others oppressed by
the cynical bump regard It as a means of
swelling the Idle days ot the year, eaJllng
forth red, white and blue screams from
persons who forget all' about the flag the
remaining S64 days ef the year.
Flag day embodies higher and nobler
aentlmenta The date is tba anniversary
of the official declaration of congress
(June 14. 1777) that "the flag of the thirteen
united states shall be of thirteen stripes ot
alternate red and white, with a union of
thirteen stars of white in a blue field, rep-
reeenung the new constellation." More
than a century later George Boech, teacher
at a kindergarten school In New York city,
developed the Idea of celebrating the day.
The celebration tickled the youngsters,
pleased the oldsters, touched a patriotic
chord in schools and newspaper offices,
spread throughout the land and caused
observances In various forms and the float
ing of the Stars and Stripes from ocean
to ocean, from Canada to the gulf.
Uncle Sara Is the greateet user of flags
on the continent, if not. Indeed. In the
world, although probably very few peo
ple ever have this fwot brought home to
them. That the federal government la the
foremost buyer of flags need not, however,
excite surprise when we stop to consider
In how many different ways the national
authorities use flags and how many dif
ferent kinds of flags are used.
It Is patent, of course, that every ship
In the navy and every navy yard In this
country or our possessions in the Paoiftc
makes liberal use of flags. Likewise, everv
military post has a brave showing of the
national colors In silk and buntina. Not
merely the familiar Star Spangled Banner,
mind you, but regimental flags and guidons
and goodness knows how many minor in
signia, to say nothing of the flags that tho
war department must supply to everv re.
crulting office In the land. Yet the army
and the navy, which, at first thought,,
suggest themselves to the popular mind as
the chief patrons of the flag Industry, are
but two out of more than a dosen branches
of the government that constantly make
most extensive use of flags of one kind 6
another.
t i i i i
The Treasury department has Its own
distinctive type of flag that wavaa over
the custom house of every port In the
lend, and hundreds of yards of red, white
and blue bunting are required each year
to make the flags for the vessels of the
treasury's sea police force the revenue
outter service. Similarly, the Postofflce de
partment haa use for thousands of flags
on tne postofflces of all the more Import
ant cities and towns of the country, and
me .uepartment of State Is Indirectly the
custodian of other thousands of these na
tional emblems, for, be it known, every
American dlplomatlo and consular estab
lishment scatered over the globe must be
liberally provided with flags wherewith to
proclaim its allegiance. It might be sun-
posed, offhand, that the farmers' branch of
tae government would have verv llttla use
for flags, and yet the United States wsather
bureau, which is a branch of the rripart
ment of Agriculture, uses vast Quantities
of flags to announce prospective weather
conditions. The very fact that these weather
bureau flags-storm warnings and tha
like must be flug to the breese at the
very time that the whipping winds are
causing ordinary flags to be hauled in to
escape damage, causes them to wear out
very rapidly.
The United States lighthouse beard and
the United Blates fish commission have
numerous shore stations and great fleeta of
vessels, Urge and small, all of which must
be provided with flags. The United States
life-saving' service, too, makes extensive
use of flags. Not merely the familiar trl
coiored flag of the nation, but the whole
complement of signal flags of standard de
sign, for, be It explained, the life savers
In signaling to shipwrecked mariners make
extensive use of the "wig-wag" system of
communication by flags which has long
been In vogue in the navies of the world,
and which will not be displaced for certain
functions even by tha wireless telephone
and wireless telegraph. Finally, the na
tional soldiers' homes and the national
cemeteriesjvery appropriately make liberal
use of the flag that their wards fought to
preserve.
For all that Uncle Sam spends thousands
upon thousands of dollars each year for
flags. Congress makes no special appro
priation for the purchase of these badges
of nationality, and hone of the government
departments has a fund devoted solely to
such purchases. The army and navy, our
biggest flag oustomers, and whose proced
ure may be cited as representative, pay for
their flags out of general outfitting or
equipment funds. However, In a single de
partment the flag purchases may be made
from several different funds. For Instance,
In the navy the cost of flags for the ship
comes out of one budget, whereases pur
chases of flags for use at the various navy
yards ef the country are paid for out ot
quite another fund.
The maintenance of Uncle Sam's flags Is
no slight job, as may ba appreciated when
one stops to consider the excessive wear
and tear to which flags are subjected when
exposed to the weather day In, day out.
On every warship and at every military
post are enlisted men who are handy
enough with the needle to make alt sorts
of minor repairs to flags. If the (Jamege
la serious the flag must he sent back to
the factory or Issuing depot to be rejuve
nated. Disposal of worn-out flags is made
In various ways. Those that are not too
utterly dilapidated are sold to junk deal
ers, while those that are so far gone as tt
be useless are destroyed. Some flags, no'a-1
bly specimens of the president's
special I
flag, are never allowed to fall Into thai
handa of second-hand dealers. It Is essy
to Imagine that a presidential flag that
had hung In the White House or been dis
played on the president's yacht would be '
eagerly Sought by relic hunters. j
In this connection It may be noted t'lat
the president's own Tag is the most -j
pensive flag manufactured or purchased by j
the government. The pres'dentlal banner I
ounslsts of a blus ground on which Is dli-1
ployed the coat of arms of the Tnlted
States, the esgls being life else and the'
other details of the coat of arms In f ill
e. lor. Tha costliness of the pre'ide tlsl
flag Is due principally to the fact that the
eagle, with long outstretched wings, and I
the other Intricate detalle of the eoat of
arms must all be embroidered by hand,
using the finest grade of embroidery silk,
costing fx a pound. This Is tedious work,
even for the most Oft-fingered ef the
feminine flagmakers, and under the most
favorable clrcumstanoess It require a wo
man oae month to complete a presidential
flag.

OMAHAt Jiine 11 Te the Editor ot The
nee: Your editorial in last evening's issue
of The Bee regarding the recent shooting
of one of our oltisena by a member ot the
Police force la timely and sensible. We
have a police force that Is, perhaps, as
good as the average, but there are fre
quently men who show lack of control and
brutal qualities which ahould be reason for
their Immediate removal from the police
force. .
The officer who haa just shot a man
down while trying to arrest a drunken
man should not be given such privileges
as have been accorded him.
A few weeks ago the writer saw a police
man club a drunken and quarrelsome

school the Board of Education, it seems
to me, should elect some one whom,
breadth of view Is such that It will Include
every sect Achieved scholarship Is as Im
portant, perhaps, from an administrative
point of view as) from Its indication that
the holder haa won rank for himself. The
bead of schools In a city the else of Omaha
can beat co-operate with a teaching staff,
many or whom have degrees of their ewn,
if he haa accomplished in his own behalf
something that at least equals those who
will be his associates. I believe the prin.
cipalshlp of the high school should go te
some one who will take pleasure In -the
advancement of the lowliest Puoll. Few
realise the full provision of the law that
Nebraska provides that every teacher
elected to high school Work shall be a
graduate of a recognised oetles-e.
