Wool Bill Through the House.
It was a foregone conclusion that
whatever bill the democrats endorsed
la their caucus on the wool tariff,
or; for that matter on any other phase
of the tariff, would pass the house,
but the vote on the measure In a re
publican senate munt remain uncer
tain. Twenty-four of the 185 repub
licans In the house voted for the
democratic wool bill, and only one
democrat voted against It, and It Is
reasonable to presume that some re
publicans In the senate will favor It
and tome democratic senators oppose
It. It is more likely, however, that
the bill will not go out of the senate
finance committee, and that adjourn
ment will be reached without a record
in the senate on the final passage of
the measure.
While everyone admits the need of
downward revision of "Schedule K,"
which embraces wool and woolens, the
difference between the democrats and
republicans goes back to the principle
of protection. The republicans take
the position thst a tariff should be
maintained on protective lines as de
fined in the last republican platform
to the extent of the difference in the
returns of labor and capital here and
abroad. To ascertain what these dif
ferences are is the task at which the
tariff board is at work, and repub
licans will prefer to wait for the
board's report on the wool schedule
rather than to take action blindly now
that may later have to be undone.
The president's special message indi
cates that the tariff board cannot re
port before December, and if this
means delay, the blame will belong
on the democrats, who beat the pro
vision for a permanent tariff commis
sion, compelling the president to use
the tariff .board in a make-shift way
for this purpose. Had the tariff com
mission section been permitted by the
democrats to stay in the Payne-Aldrtch
law, the report on the wool schedule
might have been available months
ago, and surely would have been ready
how.
Royalty and Democracy-.
That the political evolution of Great
Britain is hot measured by court func
tions we see from the pomp and cere
mony with which the king Is crowned.
The trappings of tradition have lost
none ot their luster in the changing
process of governmental Institutions.
Royalty is about as conspicuously for
mal and solemn, in the coronation of
George V as It was in that ot George
III, under whose ignoble reign royalty
learned of its impotence to obstruct
the progress of democracy even in
England.
It is wasting words, therefore, to
say that because the British people
cling to the formalities of tradition In
celebrating, a court function the rep
resentative theory of government is
not making headway. While George
V is being crowned hereditary pre
rogatives of the nobility and of the
clergy tremble in the balance.' While
the people 'today pay homage to the
same empty forms in vogue under the
intolerant George III, the king's own
ministry strikes at the ancient veto
power of the lords and the masses
look out into a broader, richer do
main of political rights than they ever
before beheld.
Buckingham palace is hot the place
to get Criteria of Britain's political
progress, as all who have kept up with
the current of events in Parliament
well know. Radical changes In gov
ernment machinery and methods have
been made and others will be made.
Nor will it do to argue, then, that
there are two distinct opposing na
tional forces at work in Great Britain,
one to preserve the sanctity of court
royalty, the other to destroy it. King
George s successor will probably.be
crowned with the ame formality. The
point is simply this: Britain's attl
tude toward state functions is the re
sult of its traditions and is not likely
to undergo material changes quickly,
Royalty is a cherished inheritance,
separate and apart from the national
political attitude. It probably would
not be changed or disturbed even It
put to a popular vote. Every other
country has Its own national forms
quite distinct from its political ten
dencies. We see and know that
Britain is passing out of the old and
into the hew era. So, while this In
stltutton of royalty is of no special
value to the progress of the new sys
tern of political thought, neither can
It obstruct It or seriously retard it.
The Emerg tncf Working Out
The garbage "emergency" is gradu
ally working out so that the taxpayers
will eventually see where they stand.
Three years ago a proposal was re
ceived, and a contract made, by which
the garbage was to be collected abso
lutely without cost either to the city
or to householders, the consideration
being the use of the garbage for feed
ing and rendering purposes. This
scheme evidently did not produce the
pronis expected ana the accommo
dating council rescinded the contract
and released the contractors, although
the agreement had several years yet
to run.
Tne next turn was to permit the
same garbage haulers to exact
charge from each householder served.
Tne natural consequence was that
only the more thickly populated dis
tricts received even half-way decent
service, while the outlying areas, from
which the hauling might have to be
done at si loss, were totally disre
garded.
The last move was to provide for
garbage collection by the city at pub
lic expense so that all householders
might have relatively equal attention.
But now comes another twist whereby
the original contractors want the city
to bind Itself for three years to de
liver the garbage thus collected to
them free of charge. In other words.
If this contract Is made the city will
be legally obligated to do garbage
hauling at an estimated cost of from
125,000 to 130,000 a year, which the
contractors originally volunteered to
do In consideration of getting the gar
bage, which they are now to have
for nothing.
If the collection of garbage by the
city Is an experiment, the city cer
tainly should not tie itself up for three
years or for any period of time that
will prevent early adoption of the
most sanitary and improved methods
of garbage disposal.
The Journal's Poll.
The Lincoln Journal has been pro
undlng three Questions to editors of
po
republican newspapers in Nebraska to
ascertain sentiment as to President
Tarts re-election. It has so far
printed forty answers, fairly well dis
tributed between radicals and con
servatives, as well as geographically.
Many ot the answers contain an im
portant and overshadowing' "lf,,k but
tabulating them as well as they per
mit of tabulation, We have the follow
ing:
1. Is it your lUdrment that President TSfl
can carry Nebraska?
Yes 21. No 19.
2. Can he be elected?
Yes 23. No
8. Do you believe a atronrer mm thai
Taft can be nominated by republican next
ear 7
Yes 18. No 22.
Noticeable, also, is the frequent re
mark that President Taft Is Steadily
growing in, strength at a rate which,
If continued, would make him in
vincible for re-election, and those an
swers which exhibit doubt show no
consensus for any other one candi
date. . ' .
It is, of Course, a little early fOr the
straw, vote to have much significance.
The Journal's poll, however, contro
verts the notion cultivated by the
democrats, that the president has no
support in his own party In progres
sive states like Nebraska.
Governor Baldwin , of Connecticut
recently declined to make a welcome
address to a total abstinence society.
giving as his reason a press ot other
matters. He admitted In a subse
quent interview, however, thai, While
a total abstainer himself, he does not
believe In political prohibition and has
always voted for license in New
Haven, feeling that it is too large a city
to be under prohibition. For a gov
ernor of a blue law state the governor
of Connecticut manifests a broadness
of view that governors of other states
might well emulate.
Two years, ago Edgar Howard
frankly admitted that the nonpartisan
racket had been played out and that
the democrats seeking to connect with
supreme court Judgeships this year
would ask for votes because they were
democrats and want the Jobs. It
looks as if Edgar Howard's prognosti
cation were going to prove correct.
Wh,lle the council is still fooling
around about making a new contract
for gas street lighting, the unpaid
bills for past lighting continue to ac
cumulate, presumably with added in
terest. A private business establish
ment conducted on the same plan that
Omaha's street lighting contracts have
been handled would be beading for
the hands of a receiver.
Of course, there is no Ice combine
in Omaha. It was Just coincidence
that all the big ice companies raised
the price 25 per cent at exactly the
same moment. It is Just coincident
that certain companies confine them
selves to particular districts and re
fuse to take customers across the line
that belong to some other company.
Congressman Martin of Colorado
has entered complaint against alleged
favoritism of the War department for
Fort D. A. Russell as against Fort
Logan. Fort D. A. Russell is the
army post at Cheyenne, and Why is
Senator Warren chairman of the mill
tary affairs committee, anyway
Omaha is a great training school,
constantly graduating men who make
good in all branches of work into
higher places in other cities. The
best part of it Is, too, that with few
exceptions these graduates of Omaha's
business and professional life make
good wherever they arej called.
Still, we believe it would do Just as
well to have the principals in the
schools on the same basis of tenure as
the teachers on the permanent list, so
that they can count on keeping their
places without interruption or re
election during good behavior and effl
dent service.
The total number of pool halls In
Omaha taking out licenses to date Is
seventy-eight. That explains still
further why it required so much pres
sure to get favorable consideration by
the council for any kind of a pool hall
regulation ordinance.

GOVERNOR ALDlUtH'8 ADDRESS
Nebraska's Ezecntlve at the Ohio
State University.
Ohio State Journal, Columbus.
Commencement day addresses are gener
ally literary and philosophical, suffused
with the Hassles and steeped In learning.
Governor A Id rich's, at the Ohio 8tate uni
versity yesterday was not so. It was ag
gressive, original and breesy. He struck
right out for the arena of life and took his
subject with him, and illustrated It by
vents, a part of which he was.
His toplo was "Progressiva Cltlsenshlp,"
certainly a fitting subject, when over 400
young men and women Wire just starting
out to be citizens.. . He defined radicalism
moral energy put into action, and he
regarded progressive eitlsenshlp in the
same light. It meant an abandonment ot
tha old, conservative status, quo positions,
and assuming aa entirely new relation to
public duty; not that tha Idea was new,'
but tha attitude waa new. ,
That hew attitude meant simply the cut
ting away from corporate control and es
tablishing tha complete supremacy of tha
popular will. The domination ot corporate
power meant the subjugation of the man
hood of the nation and to prevent that the
product of the high school, the college and
tha university should be Intelligently and
bravely directed. He illustrated his Idea
by a most interesting reference to the way
tha corporation was handled by his own
state ot Nebraska.
All through his argument one could see
this thread of principle running that tha
rights of one man did not Interfere with
the exercise of the rights of another, nor
did justice to tha people prevent justice to
the corporation. In fact, the service to the
people meant a ttue service to the corpora
tion. This was Shown In Nebraska, where.
when the people set what they demanded,
th corporations were so satisfied that they
would not return .to. the old system. v
This Idea, the governor pressed In an
emphatic and plalnspoken manner. His ap
peal to tha students waa to get Into line
with progressiva eitlsenshlp and establish
liberty, justice and equality In the land.
That was the demand of true scholarship
today. It was an effective, entertaining
and inspiring address. We are heartily
glad the governor came all the way from
Nebraska to make it

Ire Cream and Near Ice Cream.
BROWN VILLE, Neb., June l.-To the
Editor of the Bee: My attention has Just
been called to your article regarding my
letter to Food Commissioner Jackson. Re
garding it I desire to say i am Informed
that any Ice sold under the caption of "Ice
cl-eam" must test at least 22 per cent
butler fat. Health and economy demand
ing an ice of lower test, I undertook to dis
cover If there waa any way at present in
which the old fashioned home made Ice
cream could be sold. By the commis
sioner's letter I understand It can be sold
under some other name than "lea cream."
I write this because the statement may be
of Interest to various societies in your city.

that the commissioners knew what they
were doing when they appointed me
(McArdle) Inspector. In the first place I
am not a farmer because I live on a
farm. Because our Saviour Was born In a
atable does not make him a horse. I am
not a farmer, and as to having a prac
tical man as Inspector. I consider myself
more practical than a great number of
your union painters, as I have had plenty
of practise in mixing paint and daubing, it
on. If I had been ihernW of the union
there would have been nothing of the pro
test If I was practical or not The union
did not stop to Investigate whether 1 was
practical or not. All they know Is 1 am
not a union man. -
In conclusion would say the union should
withdraw their protest or Investigate and
prove that I am not experienced in paints.

High School Discipline.
OMAHA, June l.-To the Editor of The
Bee: I was amused at aa effusion In Fri
day's "Bee" in regard to "Women
Teachers."
Omaha has occasion te be proud of Its
high school, its discipline, general effective
ness, and Its constant advance in recent
years,
One of the potent factors In the position
the high school haa attained is the faith
ful, untiring, unselfish, capable service
that . US corps of women teachers have
rendered without stint. A specimen of
the "genus homo" of the masculine gender
who undertakes to belittle this work Is
lacking m the essential elements of man
hood. "Every parent knows that a boy (manly
coy) or is to w dislikes to be spoken to
and coddled as if he was a sissy and of
no account." I don't think that It wouM
be possible to crowd more utter nonsense
into the same amount ef English than la
contained In the above quotation from the
letter referred to above.
A boy wno has reached this age and
has not enough self-respect and common
Senas to behave In school should be
promptly expelled, and his father should
be sent up for at least five years as a
publio nuisance. Buch sires, not fathers,
are a good deal more of a menace to the
public welfare than all the Rockefellers and
Morgans and other trust magnates that
could be stood in a ten-acre lot
These are the kind of boys who play
the baby act and leave school on some
trumped up pretext or other; but In reality
to loaf and bum, and In a few years are
blubbering around because Some girl has
beaten them out of a Job.
High school teachers, whether men or
women, ought not to have to spend their
time and energy making such riff-raff he-
have like civilised human beings. Nor
should those who are Id high school to
secure Its advantages be annoyed and
hindered by such hoodlums. The teaching
force should be free to glvs all their at
tention to assisting those who. Wish to
learn.
