Nearly . twelve Inches of rainfall short since March 1. Get busy, Mr Weather Man. Tom Lawson says the west Is the great land of opportunity. Why, is he just finding out that? Heavens, now the democrats are try. ing to dodge the responsibility for pro longing this extra session. President Taft cornea out of the right weighing 325, showing that they did not worry him very much. It seems that in trying to kick the president into a hole, the democratic jackass slipped aad fell In himself. Mr. Bryan'a criticism of President Taft'a recall veto Is as light aa straw and as transparent as tissue paper. The San Francisco papers apeak of the "btK-'n'liU of t!ie end" of the cele brated graft cases. What, already? If a successful aviation meet can be pulled off in Chicago, popularly known as the Windy city, it must be possible anywhere. Prison sentences for twenty-eight years for sae blowers ought to make that style of bank robbing unpopular In Nebraska. If the recall of Judges recovers from that blow the president dealt It we shall haw to admit that Its resistance force is good. "The Farmer Holds the Bag." Cap tion of an editorial. Yes, and It has not been an empty bag, either, for many, many years. The ancient sadness of autumn's ap proach is enhanced in these daya by the fact that It means the closing of the base ball season. Well, a week has passed and not a word of information from Lincoln re garding the rascality of democratic presidential candidates. It is really not so important which of our district judge candidates ranks seventh as which falls below the dead Hue at the eighth hole. A rew more athletic tournaments like those recently held here, and Omaha's right to a place on the sport ing map will be thoroughly estab lished. Now that Pauline Wayne, the White House cow, is to be insured for $10,' 000, the Insurance company should insist that she be kept In a Nebrask alfalfa field. Kan Francisco is figuring on an at tendance of 35,000 on the Eagles' grand aerie In session there. Hope th shrinkage will not be as great as was lu Omaha. ..on of aristocracy In the House of Ixirda and helped to settle the railway strike, Mr. Asqulth will get himself taken seriously by the peers yet. Colonel Roosevelt Insists that no move be made to bring him into the running for 1912. No such positive statement yet has come from our Fair "View statesman. Perhapa Mr. Bryan thinks it unnecessary. Those riots at Pocatello against the enforced Installation of water meters should Interest members of our Water board. One of the problems when Omaha takea over the water plant will be to get all consumers on to a basis of measured service and Pocatello may afford a lesson as to how not to do It. The Two New Stars. The president's approval of the statehood bill admitting Arlsona and New Mexico Into the union will add two rather bright stars to the national firmament, making forty-eight In all. A long time Is likely to elapse before another new state is admitted. Alaska Is our only contiguous territory re maining, but there is little prospect of a state being carved out of Alaska for years to come. In time we may have a division of Texas, Washington and California, where agitation for new states has occasionally been heard, but that Is remote at best. Arizona comes into the union with a population under the 1910 census of 204,354, and New Mexico with 327, 301. Three states have less population than Arizona and four less than New Mexico. They are Delaware, Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho. Idaho has 328,- 594, which puts it just below New Mexico and considerably above Ari zona. In point of area New Mexico la the fourth and Arizona the fifth, largest state in the union. The nation should have a whole hearted welcome for both of the new states. They come with the pulses of Industry beating. For the decade from 900 to 1910 New Mexico's rate of growth In population waa 67.5 per cent, exceeded by only five other states, nd Arizona's rate of increase waa 66.2 per cent, exceeded by only six other states, of which New Mexico was one Great enterprises are at work develop ing resources in both states and with maiden soli of remarkable fertility, salubrious climate and railroad ad vantages, It stands to reason that as states their development will be much faster than it could have been as ter ritorles. Capital will go In there much more readily now. Under the late census, the annual manufacturing products of Arizona had a market valuation of 120,083,192 and there was a capital investment In manufacturing of 114,395,654, with 4,793-wage-earners. New Mexico, with a larger Indian and Mexican popula tion, showed up very much below this. Its capital employed in manufacture amounted to $4,638,248, while Its production of manufactures sold for 5,705,880 and it employed 3,478 wage- earners. But In a very snort time when the mineral and agricultural re sources are opened up, aa they will be, these figures will be lost in com parison. These new states are bound to get their share of the great scheme of western upbuilding now so energet ically in operation. Homemade and Bought Bread.. According to Kansas City papers, the National Association of Master Bakers, in convention there, will try to devise ways and means for checking or overcoming the Increasing consump tion of homemade bread. The question Is asked. What can be done to counter act the baleful tendency? There have been times and places where the answer to such a question might be: "Satisfy the housewife that she is getting better value in the baker- made or bought loaf." But, of course, every baker would resent the imputa tion contained In such a reply. Never theless, instances have been recorded where complaints respecting fair weights and measures and purity of Ingredients and sanitary surroundings were, at least, believed to have been well founded. In such cases as these, the bakers should have no difficulty finding the answer to their question, nor meeting the condition. If housewives are really baking their own bread In preference to buy ing it already baked, they must think they have a reason, as baking bread Is not exactly a pleasant means of diver slon, and if they are mistaken the way to show them is by advising them of the facts and driving the truth in by a proper publicity campaign. A Great Game This. A year ago the democrata of Doug las county realized that the only hope or salvation for their local ticket lay in being packed along by Mayor Jim, then running for governor. It waa life or death to them to keep the vot ing machines In business so they might reap full benefit of the party lever and they made all sorts of deals and bargains to accomplish this purpose. This year, If we mistake not, the party lever advantage Is reversed. The democrats will be the ones who will want ot get rid of the voting machines and to forget all their former fako lamentations about aendlng $50,000 worth of property to the Junk heap. The democratic bunch will soon be try ing to figure out a way to ditch the machines if they only dare. It's a great game, this game of politics. Judges and Dog- Catchers. Discussing the recall ot judges with special reference to President Taft's veto of the recall provision of the Arizona constitution, the Lincoln Star declares: There is nothing that can be urged toJTEt SEs'tEl" " C'T " hUnd'' t00th lecall of mayors, counciimen. custodians of public funds, constables or dog catch- It Is perhapa useless to argue with i celebrities, has headed the Woodrow any one who expresses auch dogmatic j Wilson crow d in Texas.

A mayor or councilman might properly be held to account for not representlag the constituency that elected him, but the judge on the bench Is supposed to. de cide caaea on the law and the evidence rather than on what the popular ver dict would be if submitted for a ballot box decree. We may some day get to hiring and firing our judges just aa wa do our dog catchers, but we have not yet reached that stage of enlight enment. England's Labor Object Lesson. Nearly a quarter million wage-earn ers were idle and riotously demonstra tive as a result of the railroad strikes in England. English press dispatches, notably conservative, described the sit uation as the most serious conflict be tween capital and labor ever known there. The possible consequences were contemplated with a shudder. Then, much more suddenly than It broke, this menacing storm passed and peace dwelt where fear and terror had reigned. The strike was over. Had the strikers won; had they gained what they de manded? No, but they agreed with their employers to leave everything to boards of conciliation, whose decisions are to be binding and In the meantime the strikers should return to work under the conditions against which they revolted and continue until the verdict. It affords a striking contrast with the way we redress similar grlev ances In the United States and ought to teach us a valuable object lesson. To show the two-stdedness of the terms of agreement pending a settlement, we here give them In full: 1. The strlk to b terminated forthwith with th men's leaders to us their bt endeavors to Induce th men to return to work at one. L All th men Involved In the present dispute, either by strlk or lockout. Includ ing casuals, who present themselves for work within a reasonable time, to b re instated by th oompanles at th earliest possible moment and no on to b sub jected to proceedings for breach of con tract or otherwise penalised. S. Conciliation boards to be convened for the purpose of settling forthwith all que ttona at present In dispute aa far aa they are within the scope of sueh boards, pro vided notice of such questions be given not later than fourteen days from the date of this agreement. If the sectional board fall to arrive at a settlement, the central board Is to meet at once. Any deolslons arrived at are to be retroactive as from the date of this agreement. It is agreed for the purpose of this and the following clause that rates of wages Include remuneration whether by time or piecework. 4. Steps are to be taken forthwith to ffect a settlement of questions now In dispute between the companies and classes of their employes not Included within the conciliation scheme of 1907 by means of conferences between representatives of the employes who themselves are employed by the same companies, and failing of an agreement by arbitration they are to be ar ranged mutually or by the Board of Trade. The above Is to be a temporary arrange ment pending a report of the commission as to the best means for settling disputes. 5. Both parties are to give every am. .st ance to the special commission of inquiry. the immediate appointment of which the government has announced. 6. Any questions which may arise as to the interpretation of this agreement are to be referred to the Board of Trade. The Extra Session. President Taft convened the extra session of the Sixty-second congress April 4 for the specific purpose o passing the Canadian reciprocity bill Congress passed the bill. The president, therefore achieved what he undertook Of course, congress did other things besides pass this administration meas ure. Dominated by a large democratic majority in the house and a demo cratic-insurgent coalition in the senate, it spent most of the needlessly pro longed session trying "to put the pres ident In a hole." Whether these forces suceeded is for the people to say later. We think they came very far from succeeding, but that in their un wise attempt they hurt themselves much more than they did his adminis tration. The executive message recommend ing the passage of the reciprocity bill, accompanied by the agreement with Canada, contained these words: I am constrained In deference to popular sentiment and with a realising sense of my duty to the great mass of our people, whose welfare Is Involved, to urge on your consideration early action on this agree ment. It was chiefly the democratic hcuise that prevented early action and we have not a doubt that in so doing the democrats, in their eagerness to manu facture campaign thunder, did not sat isfy the popular sentiment to which the president deferred. They failed to bring to successful fruition the many measures about which they talked long and loud and were it not for their en forced approval of the president's own measure, they would be in even worse straits than they are in asking popular endorsment of their record. An objection is lodged against adopting the proposed commission plan of city government because the law was not drafted by the city attorney. Does any one expect the city attorney to draw a bill to put himself out of of fice? The present city attorney never had any previous experience drawing legislative bills anyway. No amount of bureaucratic hubbub will convince the majority of Ameri cans that there Is anything wrong with the integrity and ability of the vener able secretary of agriculture, James Wilson, of Iowa. He may be called a back number, as they say down aouth, and nearly as sharp. Cato Sells, one of Iowa's whilom A neat little volume of Chauncey M. Depew's speeches has just ap peared.

Thirty Years Aaro , Watson B. 8mlih on th part of th tem perance people today threw down th gauntlet by swesrlng out warrants for the arrest of John C. Brandt and Henry Slert for keeping open their saloons all day on Sunday. Proceedings are begun under the Blocumb law, and trial set for Thurs day. At th city council meeting the contro versy on the Blocumb law was not men tioned. Th water company Is having Its pipe laid on Farnam street. This probably set tles th question ot grading that thorough far at present. Two packages of fancy crockery wer re ceived today by John Campbell, collector of customs for th port of Omaha. They were shipped In bond direct from Liverpool to this city. Sidney Dillon, president ot th Union Paclflo railway, and family, arrived In Omaha and will remain several days. Aft erwards he will take a trip all over th road. Herbert T. Leavitt, assistant county clerk, has received a letter from City Marshal Angell, who Is at present at New port Beach. Th marshal thinks baked clams tak the cake. H and Mrs. Angetl ill probably return September L Tom MoShane and family leav this af ternoon for a visit with friends and rela tives In Ohio. Considerable excitement was created In the neighborhood of Sixteenth and Webster streets today by the sudden appearance of a cowboy maddened by drink, who was riding a broncho and Insisted on prancing on the sidewalk thereby keeping th storekeepers in great anxiety wondering what would be the next performance. Th appearance ot the police soon ended his exploits, and he at once galloped away aa fast aa he could. Twenty Years Agi itev. F. W.

Tlfc Bee's LdlcrBox A Kew Word from llr, llr. K&ARNEY, Neb., Aug. 22. To the Kdltor of The Bee: A. L. Harris, writing from from New York to The Bee, seems of th opinion that the dismissal of IT. Wiley from the bureau of chemistry would not be a misfortune; quite the reverse from the tenor of his letter. That no one man Is absolutely Indlspen- slble to any position, Is self evident, yet th summary dismlaaal of any publlo ser vant for doing his plain duty to the peo ple, whose servant Dr. Wiley evidently re gards himself (rather than the servant of certain manufacturing Interests, or even of the Agricultural department, would be a publlo misfortune. It Is for this rea son that the paopl are overwhelmingly on th sld of Dr. Wiley. "It Is a well known fact," writes Mr. Harris, "that Dr. Wiley's view on whiskey, glucose, bensolo acid, etc, have been re versed by his superiors." 8lnc Dr. Wiley Is head chemist and since his su superlors, therefore, must mean th head or heads of the Agricultural department un der which th bureau of chemistry is placed, I fear that the people will regard these superiors utterly Incompetent to pass judgment on questions of chem istry, vn though some of them may question of whisky. I believe that Dr. Wiley did stat that he was sustained In his contention that rye whiskey ought to b mad from rye, "Ther Is really no danger to health and life In th partaking of adulterated con diments," Is also a delicious bon mot In Mr. Harris' letter. On would naturaly suppose that depened on what adulterant Is used. If it Is In the nature of a preserv atlv. such as formaldehyde or bensoat of soda, many Intelligent people regard it as Injurious to life and health and side with Dr. Wiley on this question. Now listen to this: "Such food as potatoes, fresh apples, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts, etc., never have been adultered." Thank heaven When they begin to shoot bensolc acid Into our fresh potatoes and apples or Inject formaldehyde Into our fresh eggs and nuts, then will one be tempted to quietly He down In some silent corner and give up the struggle. That many, manufacturers of food pro ducts are not over burdened with delicacy of conscience Is well known. They have systematically fought every step of gov ernment supervision. This fight against Dr. Wiley seems In the nature of a last stand. They may get his goat" but If they do the administration, will bear the onus and pay the penalty. N. H. JOHNSON. Good Roads and the Farmer. SILVER CREEK, Neb., Aug. 21. To the Editor of The Bee: I used to think the farmers were level-headed folk and at least as well Informed as any other class of cltl ens. But I have changed my mind; I now believe them to be a pack ot consummate Idiots. For years those great philanthro pists. Col. Pope, of bicycle fame, peace to his ashes, and his successors, the automo bile men, have been telling the fool farm ers that If they would sell all they had and build good roads they could make themselves everlastingly rich. But the thick-skulled farmers didn't believe It, got to feeling very sore by being continually pestered In this way, and oontlnued to haul their wheat and corn and hogs through the mud to the nearest market as they had been doing from time Immemorial. Now we are beginning to get oyr eyes open and coming to see that we are a lot of chumps Just as the automobile people have been telling us we wer. And why? Don't you know? During this last spring and summer, your esteemed contemporary, the World-Herald, ably sec onded 'by Dan Stephens of Fremont, and the automobile men, despairing of ever beating any sense Into our heads, have been building a road for us along the main line of the Union Pacific from Omaha to North Platte. Just as an object lesson. It must be nearly done now, although I have not seen anything of It, notwith standing It crosses my farm and I have often looked for It from the car windows. But It Is surely there. Just the same, be cause a lot of Omaha automobile men with their machines are going to take a spin over It early In September to see that It is all right, and then It will be turned over to the farmers. That will be the dawn of a ' new era. Then we shall out out th little towns along the road and haul our wheat and corn and hogs directly into Omaha, bring back In our wagons from your big stores, groceries, dry goods and supplies of all kinds. But we are not going to be small about this thing. We are going to let the auto mobile people use ' the road to a limited extent, only so they don't get so thick we shall have to keep off ourselves. Dan says they will come In swarms the Rockefel lers, the Morgans, the Vanderbllts, and all other such malefactors ot wealth, and scatter gold all along the aides of this new road. We shall gather It up In sack fulls, and thus be able to contribute lib erally to Dan's campaign fund when he runs for congress next year. We shall not forget the automobile people; we like to see them on their Joy rides, and when the next legislature convenes we shall work as hard to get the outfit to do some thing for them as they so disinterestedly worked last winter to get the legislature to do something for us. I don't think we oould do anything to help Providence out If we should try, and as to the W-H, even the attempt to recompense It in any way would be in very bad taste, to say the least, sine it always acta from purely altruistic motives, without any thought ot personal gain.

Bridgeport News-Blade: Governor Aid rich announces that he Is willing to go to th United States senate any time the vot ers ot Nebraska see fit to send him. Well, that disposition Is an improvement on the attitude of some other fellows who persist In boosting themselves for the senate whether the voters want them or not. Kearney Hub: Ak-Sar-Ben does not pro pose to be outdone by the Nebraska state fair management. The latter has secured Secretary Wilson tor a speech on reci procity, and the king Is going right tntrd after President Taft for a real Ak-Sar-Ben attraction, speech or no speech. It Is to be hoped that the president can arrange to accept the profferred hospitality. Blue Springs Sentinel: The price of beef has again been raised In the east. This time the cause Is asserted to be due to drouth conditions in the west, which has also caused a shortage of good beef cattle. How easily the farmers of Nebraska could fool them by cutting up the entire crop of corn fodder and siloing it and what Juicy steaks would result Fremont Tribune: Mike Harrington was not half as anxious to get Into libel suit as he said he was. It will be noticed. In fact, that neither Harrington nor Harman, both of whom are lawyers, were overly de sirous of trying the law suit method of settling it. They were content with a lot of bluffing through the newspapers, but as slick lawyers, avoided legal proceed ings. Alma Record: The peerless W. J. Bryan, who has been out with a yard-stick meas uring presidential timber by asking thirteen questions that are so framed as to shut out all the candidates but himself, has thirteen questions fired at him that will keep him busy for some time If he an swers any one ot them. These interroga tories came from the well known editor of the Jeffersonlan, Tom Watson, who is an inquiring man himself. O'Neill Frontier: Jim Dahlman Is a bigger man In the democratic party today than before he went down to overwhelming defeat at the hands of the voters of Ne braxka at the last election. A year ago Jim could not have prevented a democratic state convention from lauding W. J. Bryan in its platform, but at the recent state con vention he was successful in preventing any mention of the name of the boy orator of the Platte. This seems to be convincing proof of his power.
