The American peo ple have 'been waiting for this cue from Olive. v The court house bonds failed by Just seventy-seven votes. Does any aane person doubt' that they were besten solely because the county board combine foolishly hitched them up with i he water bond Incubus? Think of the poor people In Omaha who have to go without Ice this sort or weather because the price has been sky rocketed up 26 per cent higher here than In neighboring cities. And sll the ire man says Is. What are ou solng to do sbout it? President Taft on War. While the Taft peace agreement proposed to England, France and Germany eliminate questions of na tional honor or integrity as matters of arbitration, the president In his Marlon, O., speech took occasion to reply to the contention that such sub jects could never become arbitrable. He clearly defined his position to be that nstions should be able to 'arbitrate even matters of so delicate a nature. It will doubtless be received as of great interest, this bold assertion of the president, since It Is bis Illus trious predecessor who takes sharpest exception to the suggestion. 1 President Taft did well, we believe, to say that, while he has great faith In the results of the present movement for world peace, he Is not enthusiastic or optimistic enough to believe that any or all the treaties recently pro mulgated would effect complete aboli tion of war or Immediate disarma ment. When he and others wfro are actually leading in the movement for world peace take such sane around. certainly those who follow can af ford to. That there may be such s thins: aa righteous war the history of our own country attests. Trne, the issues fought out in the revolution and in the civil war will never come np for settlement by us again, but we lack the prescience to say that other issues may not arise that would Justify war on this conti nent. No man would undertake to say It would have been more righteous for the colonists to hare submitted to British tyranny than to have revolted and most men, taking Lincoln's View of It, npw believe that only by the arbitrament of arms could the ques tion of human slavery and secession be rightly settled. It is natural that the president In Fourth of July speeches should turn to the wars that made and preserved the union and Jt does no harm to have It brought thus before us once or twice a year for new lessons of wisdom and new inspiration In the cause of peace. ,-Crisii in British Parliament The fight to overthrow the British House of. Lords by destroying its ancient veto power is being brought steadily to a head. Thla time it is the unionist forces that are taking the lead. They have expressed the determination of forcing the ministry to show Its hand, whether it proposes to call on the king to create enough new peers to pass the bill or not- Premier Asquith, however. Is keeping his own counsel rather well. . Even the lories now know that they are fighting a losing battle. Their Issue haa been before the people and the people hare shown unmistakably their opposition to the lords. It is only a matter of time, therefore, until the traditional power of the peers will be no more. If finally appealed to. the king, of course, since the voice of the people has spoken, would scarcely deny the ministry's petition. But the unionists are displaying a fine SDlrit of fight In taking the ground of forcing the government to act. The futility of the lords fight mar be seen In the appeals of their news paper organs for them to accept the bill aa It Is, even though admitting it meana enlarged powers for the com mons and removes one great obstacle to home rule. The sltuaUon Is not unlike that confronting the budget, when. In spite of friendly advice, the lords persistently fought the budget ana lost, inviting the fatal reaction that followed. So in this case their own press takes the plausible position that harm, rather than good, will come of staving off this Inevitable. Warmer Winters, Too. Major R. A. Marriott ot London should have no trouble in disposing of his little pamphlet on "Why We May Expect Warmer Winters" if the weather abroad la anything like on this side of the ocean Just now. It ahould be a most timely bit of litera ture: It is Interesting to note the author's chief reason for believing the winters will become more 'mod erate. ' He quotes, Captain Scott as saying, op hla last return from the arctic regions,' that the south polar Ice Is retreating and that similar con ditions obtain in the entire arctic cir cle. This, he says, will have a reflex action further south, affecting the winters in the temperate sone. Ice land, according to Major Marriott's informant, belles its name,', for in December of last year it had, no snow and scarcely any ice. The diminishing obliquity of the earth's axis In the cause of the' phe nomenon, the writer says. The general proposition is no dif ferent than has been urged for many years In this countrjf that winters steadily would become more mild. Another theory Is and this, was held by . scientists in New England fifty years ago that gradually the winters in the northern states would become milder and those in the southern states more rigorous. To a degree, this was the case last winter and the winter before. At any rate, It is easy enough to find many "oldest Inhabitants" any winter who will stroke their' beards and tell you that present-day winters are nothing like they used to have. Most people will regard these predicted changes with complacency, though it would not tend to popular ise any of these prophets to come out now with a theory to show that our summers were becoming warmer. If the fire loss in Dundee is due to Insufficient water pressure owing to lack of a second supply main from Florence, the sufferers ought to sue the members of the Omaha Water THE PEE: board Individually and tiit ihum I sponsible for persistent failure to do anything to relieve the sltuaUon. The Omaha Water company has had a standing offer for nearly five years to build the desired main, asking the Water "board merely to agree to pay up delinquent hydrant rentals and add the additional amount Invested to the appraised valuation when the plant is taken over. Some Pertinent Questions. A Sunday saloon brawl in South Omaha with fatal termination sug gests seversl questions. How come saloons to be .open on Sunday In our neighboring burg not thla Sunday, or last Sunday, but every Sunday? What has become of the Anti-Saloon league sleuths who made tbemselres so busy checking np violations of the liquor law in Omaha while shutting their eyes to more flagrant violations in South Omaha? What about that man of brass who made nightly expeditions out of South Omaha to do his slumming and spying in Omaha for fear he might see some thing at home?. Are the Anti-Saloon league sleuths organized to secure enforcement ot liquor laws Impartially, or only to dis cover violations in Omaha In order tJ "get" Chief of Police Donahue? Meriti of Voting: Machines, Chicago Is wrestling with the ques tion of Installing voting machines and in the interval playing battledore and shuttlecock with arguments pro and con for which Omaha's experience leaves no room for guess work. The mechanical recording of votes, that Is what the voting machine does. Is a distinct improvement over the paper ballot in Just this one respect, that it gives an instantaneous and ac curate count the moment the polls are closed, i As to cost of conducting aa election there Is little, If any, differ ence. The machine is not proof against fraud, or repeating, or colo nizing any more than is the ballot the honesty of an election sifts down to the honesty of the election officers and of the voters. The voting machine directly Influ ences the election by practically forc ing straight party tickets, because the effort required for and the confusion consequent on attempts to scratch make the party Jever the easy way out. There might be a great deal, said in favor of the. voting machine, without the party lever, providing only a few elective offices were to be filled, hut the chances are that such a machine offering the present multiplicity of candidates to choose from would be like going from frying pan into fire. On the other hand, the short ballot and the voting machine together might be a real step toward election reform. President Taffa Interference with legislative prerogatives in putting on executive pressure for his reciprocity agreement is denounced by opponents of reciprocity almost as strongly as his non-interference In the making of the tariff bill was denounced by the same gentlemen two years ago. Executive interference with legislative functions Is always indefensible unless it Is ex erted for what wj ourselves want - Young Mr. Shotwell's public de liverances down In Washington seem to disturb and distress our dsmo- cratio friends hugely. They evidently fear that Mr. Taft may eventually win all the progressive republicans to his support as the most available repub lican candidate for 191z and If that should happen the sudden fall in the democratic thermometer might break the tube. Not a word from our amiable dem ocratic contemporary about throwing $50,000 worth of voting machines, bought with taxpayers' money, into the Junk heap at the recent special election. Oh, what a difference a short time makes. Evelyn Arthur See, a male In spite of his name, the head of the "Abso lute Life" cult, says the eyes of the world are dimmed with wrong think ing. So the world does, then, think with its eyes? It often seems so. No one would think of questioning the regularity of that raffle wherein the Kansas man' own daughter won the house and lot he sold that way for $6,000 not In Kansas. A Philadeljhla man sought to es cape arrest by Jumping out of a win dow, but under the law of gravitation was foiled In his attempt when he reached the ground. Those upper Missouri river citizens who are looking for an excuse for not boosting navigation might find one In the fact that two boats collided down near New Orleans. It must be that some of those muck raking magazlnea Uncle Sam la after failed to clean off their rakea thor oughly and were thus detected. 3 , Speak Oat, C-eleaeL. Cleveland Leader.
