How would you like to be the Ice inaat Pennsylvania is to nave a new peni tentiary. Business picking upT It Is superfluous to say that the troops on the Texas border are having a "hot" time. The recipient ot that basket of flow ers with s bomb In it must hare felt the force of the compliment. If they are going to summon the en tire Illinois legislature of 1909, why not move the Investigation to Spring Held? The Denver Republican speaks of the "Gospel of Climate." It Is a reg ular Pentecost the year round In Ne braska., A gentleman mistaken for Ctaaun eey" M. Depew hotly retorted, "I am no senator." Chauncey can now say the lams thing. It was to be expected that the ice Sealers would be able to think of an excuse for overcharging the people. It never falls. . , .,, It seems that they shoot down re spectable citizens in the streets of Seattle, even it they do have the all powerful recall. Montclair, N. J., has an ordinance that prevents ,dogs barktng after 9 p. m. It Is class legislation unless it affects the cats also. They are going to make a forty-four-foot cut In a Kansas City street to bring It to grade, but that town never will be on the level. The United Wireless asks a receiver on the ground that Its officers are In Jail. The court will surely construe that as a reasonable request. That Georgian who proposes to erect a monument to the memory of the Ku Klux ought also to have one built In honor of the James boys. Mr. Bryan Is growing. He now ad mits that the Underwood bill is better than what It displaces, and that Is Just what was claimed for the Payne- Aldrlch bill. The Chicago Record-Herald ob serves that "When labor leaders fall out the police get their clues." Yes, and thus far that Is all the Chicago police have gotten. It seems that since Dlax had had the time to think It all over, with bis own fighting spirit Inspired by that fresh salt sea breeze, he is only beginning to get good and mad. A man 82 years old has Just com mltted suicide at Uncoln. One would think at that age a person would be willing to wait for the Grim Reaper, confident that the wait would not be long - I The Lincoln Journal Is mistaken when it says that Omaha Is served by a single ice company. But it might as well be when all the Ice companies raise the price exactly 25 per cent at the very Identical time by the clock and on the Identical spot on the calendar. - It's up to the county board now to tell the taxpayers why It Is an Impera tive necessity, for them to vote the $200,000 of court house bonds, and also up to the mayor and council to explain why It Is an Imperative neces sity to vote the $100,000 fire engine house bonds. i That the editors who attended the Nebraska Press association meeting In Omaha were well pleased with their entertainment, and favorably im pressed with the metropolis, is plainly evident from what they are writing la their papers, which expresses bo discordant notes.. That Is the kind ot publicity that counts. Still Railing- False limes. The Water board has Issued an other appeal to the people to come to their relief by voting the $8,160,000 water bond proposition at the coming special election. Instead of saying squarely that the board has gotten the city into a bad hole from which there la no visible escape, except by coming forward with the cash, the attempt Is made again, as at the previous bond election, to string the public by rais ing false Issues and making promises never Intended to be redeemed. It Is a matter of history that this $8,250,000 special election bond deal was sprung by the Water board while the legislature was In session to pre vent Its threatened merger with the commission form of rlty government by stirring up this tremendously Im portant crisis requiring action at once, If not sooner. The scheme worked so far as the legislature was concerned, and having started the bluff, the board feels compelled to make a show of carrying it through. The need for the city to get Imme diate possession of the water plant In order to begin forthwith to lay a du plicate main from the Florence pump- ng station and extend the service pipes to outlying sections of the city had much more force four months ago.' If the Water board were sincere in this It could have, and would have, accepted the water company's offer to do the work, and the laying of the main would now be under way. It would seem, therefore, that the Water board wants the bonds voted as a vin dication much more than it wants these improvements made, because even If the bonds carry It will take several months to sell them, and at best, with favorable court decisions, actual work could not be begun before fall, when It would soon be Interrupted by cold weather. The confession contained In the offi cial .statement that the taxpayers are losing $428 a day because of Water board mismanagement must be hu miliating. If the court holds that this penalty has been running for five years it will, indeed, be a sad reflec tion upon our Water boarders. But the fact Is that It Is by no means so bad, although, no doubt, bad enough. The threat of the Water board, how ever, that failure to vote the bonds at this time will bring on a forced tax levy to pay the Judgment underesti mates popular intelligence. Whether the bonds fall or carry at this special election will not change the procedure ot the court when It comes to arrang ing for execution of Judgment. Voting $8,250,000 water bonds now may do no harm, but it will not do what is claimed in this statement. The Water board would have presented a much better face before the commu nity had it first ascertained exactly how much money the water company would take to yield possession at a definite date without further litiga tion, and it may have to come to this yet. After the Rat, Whatt Many a woman will have to ask herself this question If she bows to the latest heralded decree of her Imperious ruler, Dame Fashion that rats and puffs and coils and rolls and all kindred vices and devices for giv ing a fictitious rotundity to the hair, must go. No one but Dame Fashion knows positively that she has Issued such an edict and perhaps she will not be willing to confirm the report until she has time to see how It Is likely to be received, for, with all they may say of her caprlclousness, this fitful oracle has a way about her of looking at the practical side of everything she does. But. suppose the ukase Is genuine and binding, what then? Assuming that woman will as meekly obey, then the question Is. Can the hair come back? For It would be folly to say that all these articles pf commerce women have been wearing In their hair had not Impaired its growth. Can the hair come back and If so what Is o be done while It Is coming to pretend as If nothing had occurred? We presume all this is superfluous Inquiry and needless anxiety, for Dame Fashion is as apt as nature, al most, in her system of compensations. She would scarcely have made such a decree If she had not already provided for every emergency it might create. Lawyers Raising the Bars, The New York legislature passed a bill which becomes effective as a law July 1, extending the time of prepara tion of all law students one year. That means college or -university graduates must devote three Instead of only two years to law before being admitted to practice. Some additional restrictions are likewise thrown about the admis sion of lawyers from .other states. The whole purpose is to limit the number of practitioners, which had gone be yond all reasonable bounds, and the legislature found to Its satisfaction that many lawyers were barely eking out an existence, the result being that evil practices were steadily on the in crease. No doubt similar situations might be found In other states. We do not have to accept the word of a layman for this, but we may take that of so eminent a member of the bar as Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson that there Is vital need for raising the standard of the legal profession. It stands to reason that overcrowding the field so that the supply Is inordinately beyond the demand will lead some men, In the straits of making a living, to adopt methods degrading to the ethics of any profession. It this state of af fairs can be corrected, even to a Urn itea extent, by a law such as New I or a naa enacted It is well to have passed the bill and it would be well If otner states in turn would do like wise. It has usually been too easy to get Into the legal profession as It has been Into the medical profession. Many a young man has been, fooled by the vision ot a short cut to a bright field where he might avoid manual labor and be come wealthy without great drain on his Intellectual powers. If raising the standards of law practice will do no more than save disappointment to these misguided youths, It will serve one good purpose. The Bee's Old Guard. Our readers must have noticed in The Bee's Fortieth Anniversary num ber the imposing roster of its old guard, being those employes who have been In the service of this paper more than fifteen years. The total number of The Bee's old guard is, thirty-one, among whom Is included one woman, whose name, however, we will not di vulge, and some of them have been with The Bee continuously almost from Its Inception. These old-timers are In nearly every department ot the paper and have Invariably been ad vanced from small beginnings. The point we wish to make Is the recogni tion of faithful service by The Bee on one Bide and the appreciation of satis factory wages and considerate and Just treatment on the other. The In stitution Is fortunate that has a large number of old-time employes loyal to its Interests and devoted to its success and prosperity. Our Superb National Credit. Of course, the most noteworthy out- Lside feature of this Panama Improve ment bond sale is the large number of bidders and the high prices obtained, the average of which Is 102.50. The bonds were three times overbid, a most remarkable fact, inasmuch as to day securities of Germany, England and France are selling at-a discount. We have ample and very lively evi dence, therefore, of our superb na tional credit. The result of this sale is evidently as much a surprise, in one way, to Wall street as to the layman la finance. The two leading financial dailies predicated a lower range of prices for the bonds, though admitting that the number of bidders would be excessive. The quotation of 103 had been reached on the New York curb and it was said that the bids would nowhere near approach this figure. We see, however, that some exceeded it and the average came very close to it. These experts In flnasce also pre dicted that the larger banks would not bid strongly, owing to the Treas ury department's refusal to leave part of the proceeds 'from the sale of the bonds on deposit In the national banks. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the City Natonal of New York did, . it transpires, fall to 'get any 'of 'the se curities, but not because their bids were not up to the average; neverthe less the majority of the bonds do go to individuals Instead of banks. It may be a source of special satisfaction that the purchasers are widely scat tered over the country. It Is well for the public to absorb this original is sue, as It Is calculated that a large sum of money is available for invest ment. It is not to be assumed that the financing of the canal is completed with this bond issue; others will fol low in time. The effect of the present sale natu rally should be to stimulate the whole bond market, turning attention, for the time, from stocks to bonds, for the unsuccessful bidders will have to get supplies for their demands from some other source. According to the Water board, the $3,000,000 water bonds voted in 1900 were never regularly voted. If that could be established it might Invali date the whole compulsory purchase proceedings, because the original ap pointment or the Water board tor Omana was predicated upon the sup posed valadity of these bonds. The Water board has never ventured to raise this point, presumably because, If successfully raised, It would not only save us from the $8,263,295.49 appraisement, but also put the Water board, itself, out of business. Mr. Bryan has asked in his Com moner: If the democratic party can be scared by the bleat of a sheep, what will it do when it hears the bellows of the bulls and tha growls of the bears In Wall street. Well, the democratic party has never yet been stampeded by such noises. It usually becomes very do cile and lamb-like when Wall street makes a. noise like the promise of sup port. I The Lincoln Journal has been pro pounding questions to republican country editors with reference to their preference for Mr. Taft for the 1912 nomination or for some other man. Tbe answers It Is printing are natu rally divergent, but sound very much tbe same as the answers which the same papers made to tbe same ques tions three years ago. A noted Canadian author has been severely Injured in Montreal by the explosion of a bottle of aerated water driving the splintered glass Into his face and eyes. Now if the bottle ex ploded had only contained beer or champagne, what an avalanche of tem perance homilies it would have started. Of course, the lc man la Kansas City is losing money because he Is de livering ice there for a price IS per cent less than what the Ice man in Omaha is collecting. That's a good enough Morgan for an Omaha Ice man, but It won't go down with the Omaha consumer. Unfortunately, comparatively few of us 'can attend the coronation of King George and Queen Mary, but we can all get the aroma of royalty by paying court to King Ak-Sar-Ben again next fall. Cheer la, Jim. Chicago Inter Ocean. "It seams to ma that the United States government Is prosecuting eevryone who has anything over 16 or SO cents," said James A.

One of the railroad companies has de cided that hereafter passengers shall be dusted with vacuum cleaners Instead of the old-faBhloned whisk brooms that have been used by the porters.

Postal savings banks seem to have achieved a quick DODularltv In h. where they fill a long-felt want. In the east, however, they are competitive with old, established savings banks paying higher rates of Interest than the govern ment gives and under state supervision. There will be more than 600 postal banks n operation within a month, and the fair test of the system will be the amount of deposits they gather In regions where fa cilities for savings have heretofore been ary limited. BRYAN'S LATEST DEFL BL Louis Globe-Democrat: Mr. Brvan ought to give the names of democratic associates who have played him false, and he Is capable of doing It If there is muoh back talk. Pittsburg- Dispatch: Mr. Bryan's Insist ence that he Is not a dlotator recalls that attempt to tell Governor Harmon how to run his office, and the more recent effort to Instruct the democratic majority In the house on the wool schedule. Both the gov ernor and the house proved to Mr. Bryan that he couldn't be a dictator. New Tork Tribune: Mr.'Bryan says that his body, politically speaking. Is scarred all over by the knives that have been wielded by the representatives of plutoc racy, Inside the democratic party and out side." These scars are not to be tested at yet Mr. Bryan shouia remember that their judicious exhibition, has helped to carry him a long way In politics. Chicago Tribune: Mr. Bryan, who serves notice on hi party enemies that he will not submit to be cudgeled or Scoffed into silence, may take this comforting knowl edge to himself. .There would be no ob jection to his counsels or his advice If men Influential In the democratic party. but opposed to him, did not recognise him as still powerful. If what Bryan 'ad went to careless ears his party opponents might grin, but they would not protect. They do protest, and the grin is Mr. Bryan's. People Talked About A fighter from Flghtervllle. on the bat tlefield or on the hustings Is Daniel E. Sickles of New York, retired major gen eral of the army, who wears a crutch as a certificate of his activity on the firing Una of the Civil war. John Olafson Turl, said to be the first Laplander to write a book, spends the long dreary winter hunting wild game In tha snowy wilderness of his native land. He lives and travels alone, and when on his midwinter trips can be found only by accident. Frederick C. Beach, editor of the Sci entific American, tells congress that one third of tha roada of this country are suitable for automobiles, and he suggests that mails be carried by them on such roads. A little order like that would be appreciated by tbe automobile trade. Colgate Hyot, of New Tork, one thous and miles up the Amazon river, on the Benedict yacht, received a wireless mes sage sent from his home in Oyster Bay that very morning, and then sent an answer received at Oyster Bay tha same afternoon. Where -ere the "uttermost parts of tha earth?" John 1 ranee tells Boston that Senator Bacon, of Georgia, looks younger at It than either Senator Ixdge or Senator Crane, though they are his Juniors by ten years or so. He adds that the dis tinguished Georgian Is stalwart and agile. Is heard all over the chamber when ha speaks, and hasn't a visible white hair In his head. A pension system for old employes Is announced by tha Chicago Tribune. Twenty years' continuous service and 60 years of age makes an employe eligible for retirement at tha discretion of tha pension board, but an employe of twenty years' standing, on reaching tha age of S3, may be retired nJf his own request. Pensions are based on tha average rate of mages for the tan year preceding retirement, tha lowest sum being $1S and tha highest $100 par month. t V Lj GENERAL Around New York mipples ea the Onrreat ef Life as Seas la the Qreat Ameiioaa Metropolis fro as Bay to Say Formsr Senator William A. Clark of Montana Is getting ready to live In state In his New Tork "palace of frosen archi tecture," as critics call It. His art gallery Is. stocked, his U 30.000 organ has been tested and Is prepared te furnish music to soothe a miner's troubled dreams. Marble baths that outshine Rome's ancient glory are ready for the plungers, while statuary, mural paintings, mosaics, and plastic etch ings grin and glimmer In the variegated colors ot sunshine filtered through art glass windows. Butte never looked down from Its proud pedestal of copper upon such luxurious wonders. By next Septem ber he expects te sleep In his $15,000 bed. resting his auburn ringlets on the $1,000 eiderdown pillows. He will also eat at hl $10,000 table from his $40,000 Sevres ser vice and walk on his $100,000 carpets. The $360,000 art gallery will be made attractive by the ex-senator's $35,000 portrait, some times knowir as a cloudburst In red and green. But the prospect does not promote his happiness. He Is kicking against a tax value of $2.MO,000 on the property. Insisting on a reduction because the propery Is un productive. Mr. Clark has tsken his kick to tha appeal board. Father Berger of St. Raphael's church and Theodore Burt Rayre, the dramatist, occupied jointly a cross seat on tha Sixth avenue elevated train the other day, says the New Tork correspondent of the Cincin nati Tlmes-Ptar. Facing them sat Mrs. Barbara Kloss and her small nephew, Paul. In that' cute way that small boys have, Paul was standing on the seat, with mbst of his small body projecting through the window. When the train stopped with a Jerk at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street Paul snapped out. "Help," shrieked Mrs,. Kloss, running to the car door. "Whoop!" shouted Mr. Eayra, following her. "Goodness!" said tha priest, sitting still. Mrs. Kloss retrieved the small Paul un hurt on the station platform. Mr. Sayre dashed back Into the car, to see Father Berger passing various bundles to Mrs. Kloss, through the open window. Mrs. Kloss thanked him. Father Berger ex tended his good wishes to the child. The train pulled out as. Mr. Sayre sank Into his seat with appropriate ..expressions of relief. Then he felt about htm. "I left a square package bound In blue paper," said he, "and a $10 umbrella when I ran to the door to help Mrs. Kloss. Did you see them?" "Oh, yes," said Father Berger, guiltily, "I saw them. In fact I sr handed them to Mrs. Kloss." Mr. Sayre gaxed at Father Berger. "That was tha manuscript for a new play In that packajre," said he. "I have no duplicate copy. Perhaps I may recover it but In the meantime I can think of noth ing appropriate to say under the circum stances." "I can," said Father Berger, plteously. "From fire and flood and famine and help ful friends good Lord deliver us." It New York' Is to Have a big new hotel at the northeast corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-seventh street. It will be twenty-four stories high and will cost about $4,000,000. The building will be put up by a syndicate of bankers, who are represented by L. M. Relnach St Co. and Preston S. Faust. The site was purchased from Robert A. Kvans, who some time ago secured tha property from the Marshall estate. It measures 98.9 feet on Seventh avenue, and on Thirty-seventh street It extends toward Broadway 244 feet. The syndicate paid $1,350,000 for the property. A prominent hotel keeper of this city has arranged to lease the structure for eighty- four years. The lease is arranged in four periods of twenty-one years each. For the first twenty-one years the lessee is to pay $360,000 a year. The rent to be paid for the renewals will be based on S per cent of the appraised value of the prop erty at the expiration of each period. It Is estimated, that the aggregate rental for eighty-four years will be mora than $30, 000,000. Persons who ride In the McAdoo tunnel trains are apt to be puzzled as to the way In which tha trains are started. There Is no bell or buzz sounded and no signal is displayed at tha starter's office. Ye it is plain that a signal is given, for all tha guards and platform men get busy closing the car doors and fending off tardy passengers by a common .Impulse tha second before the train gets into motion. " The mystery is solved by watching tha edge of tha platform, or rather the narrow . space between it and the cars. There Is a row of electric lights under the overhang of the platform and these flare up when tha starter closes a switch in his office at the moment when the start of tha train Is due. As soon as the train pulls out the switch Is opened and the lamps go dark again until it Is time for tha next train to start An advantage of the plan is that every employe on the train or tha platform can sea the signal no matter where he may be standing "One ot the moat beautiful philan thropies I've -heard of In your great city,' said a western man, quoted by the Sun, "is tha endowment which provides means to enable tha blind of New York to enjoy many of tha exhibits in your fine Museum of Natural History. The other day I hap pened to fall in with a little group of these blind persons who were being cared for by a guide especially assigned to this work. She had the keys of cases contain ing the exhibits these persons had particu larly naked to see. What they couldn't handle she described to them with wonder ful clearness. The way those blind people saw things with their fingers and the keen enjoyment they showed when they got a good mental picture of some animal they'd never seen was simply marvellous. One girl asked to seee a rhinoceros. Her fingers went like magic over the big body of a two-horned variety of this creature. When she got through she stood back in amazement and said: 'That's1 the ugliest thing 1 ever saw In all may life!' THE ICEMAN'S GAME. Kansas City Times. Tha king Is dead long live the king!

Table Rock Argus: Omaha Is a splendid fclty. of which every Nebrasksn ran be proud; Its business men era energetto, punn ing fallows, as the mighty enterprises cen tered In Omaha will testify, and yet they took time to give the country editor and his wife the time of their lives. Omaha acted as though It was glsd to sea us, and the boys and girls of the Nebraska Press esxoolatlon appreciate Its hospitality. ' Hebron Champion: Never was king or queen treated mora honorably or hospitable. Roosevelt, the man who, of all his brethren never was so highly honored by the cations of the earth, did not receive any more marked attention or any higher ex altratlon by the people of Omaha than were tha sM members of Nebraska Press associ ation. Omaha has found out that the coun try press Is on earth, and we have learned that Omaha is "on the map." and the "Oateway to the Garden of Eden." "Old things have passed away and behold all things have become new;" "tha north and the south are united" and from now on we are co-laborers together for tbe up building of Omaha, Uncoln and the whole state of Nebraska. Stromsburg Headlight: It was our pleasure, ale ng with some $oo other editor from over the state and their wives, to be the guett of Omaha. The Commercial club of that city had taken the aelf-lm-fosed task of entertaining the newspaper people and had provided a "hot time" and lived up to tha promise, both as to weather and entertainment. The object of the entertainers seemed to have been to make their guests forget all troubles and cares while In tha city and also give them something they would never forget and that would always be a pleasant memory of their lives. If this was the purpose, they succeeded beyond expectation. To our mind, a composite picture of the mem bership of tha Omaha Commercial club would reveal one big, broad, genial smile and a glad hand as large and generous aa one of Swift's sugar-cured hams. On every hand the editors were met with a hearty welcome, and wa believe wa voice the sentiment of all when we say that It was good to be in Omaha and Omaha was good to all of us. Alma Record: The meeting of tha Ne braska Press association In Omaha was one of the best in the history of the state front every point of view. The business sessions were Instructive and profitable. while the entertainment features were elaborate and well planned so as not to Interfere with the business part of the program. One of tha lasting results of the meeting will be a better understanding between Omaha and the country newspa pers. An educational feature of the con ventlon was the half day's visit to South Omaha and the stock yards. The Magto City ranks among the first of the great stock markets and packing centers of the world. It was apparent to all who at tended the convention that Omaha la doing a great and glorious work in advertising and boosting Nebraska, then why should we not all unite and help In this great work by patronising home Industry. Prac tically everything used In the state can be purchased within the borders of our state and Omaha, the market town, la rightly named the Gateway to tha Golden West. Let us be more considerate of our great metropolis and not so quick to knock, but study the conditions and cir cumstances, and It will be found that there Is a great difference between a large city end the smaller cttle. A careful consider ation of this fact will, in many caies, re. suit In a boost, and If you can't boost, don't knock, but where criticism Is de served, go your best. 64 years of continuous management; 54 years of steady growth in Assets; &4 years of In creasing ability to safeguard the increasing funds of depositors; therefore, a good place for VOVH account and especially your SAVINGS. 3i Interest on Time Deposits I i ' A Welcome Change Smoke curling up from the farmhouse chimney as the men are coming in from vthe fields, gives a pretty suggestion of a good sup per and a comfortable home.
