Mr. Hackenscnmldt -w. ill at least ad mit ne was the fall guy. Captain Hobson believes In peace only if obtained by fighting. Why is It that such a nice town as Los Angeles still permits prize fight ing? The cotton worms are usually not near so dangerous as the bulls and bears. By the way, what has become of Doc.

Is it not about time for the Inde pendence lea&ue to begin to get inde pendent again? Perhaps the supreme court Justices might get their pay doubled by form ing a union and striking. The national convention of hoboes did not map out a strenuous campaign of labor for the year, very naturally. Champ Clark complaint that we do not have enough politics In this coun try. Does that go for Alaska, 'too? Practical progresslveneM, however, does not bold back the whole proces sion merely to let bne man set the pace. South Omaha is talking annexation. The talk would have sounded much better to Omaha before the last federal census. Colonel Roosevelt probably opposes those peace treaties on the theory that they may be fatal to the ambition to die on a battlefield. A correspondent asks the value of a dollar made"" in 1852. Don't know, but can come, nearer telling the value of one made in 1911. Mr. Bryan's charge that Congressman Underwood is a parquet statesman at least relieves the Alabamlan of the ac cusation of playing to the bleachers. Wish those experts who are figuring out for us bow the high cost of living la going down would come to Omaba and nrove it on the basis of local prices.. In ten years the value of horses In Ohio has increased 97 per cent. It is similar in other states. Poor Dobbin, how the auto has put him out of the traces. Governor Aldrtch's new pardon board will have to work faster than that if it wants to empty the peniten tiary at a pace that will offset' the new arrivals. For some inscrutable reason the postmasters' program does not make a place anywhere for a debate on "bow to ahake tbem down for a widow with ilx children." A Missouri woman of 60 swam two miles and a half In one hour in the uuietnni. With such mothers as that that state can never produce race of mollycoddles.

War Cloud Is Growing Dtrk." Mount Etna In Eruption. Boy Use3 Dynamite Caps." Headlines But over against It all. "The Home team Wins." gives back the Joy of living. ' Of course, it la all right for the Third ward to give the Hitchcock-Den-Bison-World-Herald combination the nly majority they polled against the commission plan of city government. But any nomination on the republican tounty ticket by the belp of Third s.rd vote, makes the Worll-Herald thudder. Death of Congressman Latta.. While not unexpected, the death of CongreMman Jamea p. Latta of the Third Nebraska district comes as a shock to his many friends outside as well as throughout the state. That be possessed a host of friends and ad mirers made during nearly a half cen tury of residence In Nebraska was at tested by the huge majority he ran up on his last contest tor re-election, which represented much more than his mere party following. These tributes were brought to him by bis own rugged character and sterling person allty for he made no pretense at either oratory or statesmanship. He stood aa a sturdy pioneer farmer evolved Into a solid business man with a comfortable fortune by persistent and well-directed effort and square and honest dealing with his fellow men. The high esteem in which he was held by his colleagues In the halls of congress Is attested by the fact that when the make-up of the committees was under consideration at the begin ning of the recent extra session he was given Important and keenly sought assignments despite his open declara tion that be wanted no committee places at all. World Prices. Another list of comparative prices for the present and a year ago has been issuea and on the whole the showing is not discouraging, that is, it is not Indicative of a rising tendency, though on some commodities the scale is up ward and in most cases the causes ob vious. . At best, however, prices are hih enough to make the man hustle who has to buy. But we seem to nearer the solution of this cost-of. living problem, which most thinking people are ready to admit, is not local to this or any other country, but quite wona-wiae m its scope and character Starvation in China, rioting in France. Dreaaiines in England and nubile clamor in the United States against the- common objective, would seem to offer ample evidence of that. And why world-wide? Admitting that it is, the -explanations are too numerous and too conflicting. The overproduction of gold has been as signed as the reason. In the firat place, however, it is not certain that there is an overproduction of gold, if by that we mean more gold than is needed to supply the world's demand. The annual output of all mines in the world, according to the statistician's figures, amounts to $400,- 000,000 a mere bagatelle as com pared with the demands. Why, three- fourths of this total output, it is said, is consumed in dentistry, Jewelry and the like, before ever the matter of coinage Into money and circulation in trade is reached. " The veteran New York editor, Hor ace White, once said that the only way an Increasing "supply of gold could af feet the prices of commodities was by Increasing the demand for them. This brings up an Interesting phase of the present-day question. We have com plained bitterly because the Increase in prices - seems to be more on the staples than on luxuries. If we ac cept the theory that tie output of gold Influences the cost of living, we have an illustration rigbt here. For the general rise in prices began with the prodigious discovery of old In Call fornla and Australia and this rise ap plied first to the articles most in de mand and spread as the trade inter course in gold and those commodities spread. Certainly, it was a fact that the rise in prices did not advance uni formly, but on those things which the local miners most wanted first. That gold production la an element in world prices is generally accepted, but it is not the sole element, any more than that this hlgh-cost-of-llving is a local, or political problem. The First Prerequisite. Discussing proposed Improvements In the direction of providing a perma nent plant for the Nebraska State fair, the Lincoln Journal declares: It g;oe without saying that no mora ex pensive buildings should ba erected until a comprehensive plan Is adopted for the entire plant In this the Journal is eminently cor rect, tor there is so more reason why the public money should be wasted on state fair improvements than It sbould be waated In response to any other use ful or useless demand. Having sec cured, the permanent location of the fair, it is natural that Lincoln should want a permanent plant built for It at the state's expense, but there should be more behind the argument than the mere spending of money in Lincoln. The obstacle to be overcome Is the re luctance to Invest large amounts In costly buildings to be used only one week In the year. A permanent state fair plant, should there ever be one. should be adapted to a permanent ex position of the state's resources, and erected upon a plan, not only compre hensive and systematic, but holding that purpose In view. . What the Journal says about state fair bulldfngs is even more applicable to state university buildings. The de velopment of the university campus and equipment should also be accord' lng to a comprehensive plan that looks forward to the future. That is why The Bee has advocated the transfer of the university from the present 111 adapted' downtown site, that never can be made to meet requirements except at a colossal outlay, to the roomy uni versity farm where It would be fully accessible, and could be easily and economically projected and built on a comprehensive plan for the entire plant Instead of continuous reconstruction and patchwork. That la why The Bee thinks It a waste of public money to erect new buildings on the old campus, whose abandonment is inevitable and only a question of time. Kipling as a Political Seer. That Rudyard Kipling has not made a huge success of dabbling in politics must be due to the time and ways he dabbles. Many years sgo he under took to tell Canada what to do with its tariff and provoked a mighty storm of protest against his lntrnslon. Now, be writes a labored letter to a Mon treal newspaper rrom some remote vil lage in England, presuming to suggest what action Canada should take on reciprocity. Whatever Canadians may think of the advice, Kipling betrays, not only his keen anti-American preju dice, but a density as to the facts in the case, which is really surprising. He has swallowed the old annexation bogey book, bait and line, and warns Canada that closer relations with the United States now will mean vassalage later. Being so thoroughly saturated with the old feudal notions, Mr. Kip ling is unaole to appreciate that such a thing is impossible on this continent. Annealing to Canada's pride with a reminder that it is fast assuming arge proportions aa a nation, itself, he fiids: Why. then, when it hss made itself what It is, should it throw the enormous rifts of Its Inheritance and Its fut f Into the hands of a people who by th"l- haata and' waste have so dissipated their own resource that even before national middle age they are driven to seek virgin fields for cheaper food and living T Much of this sort of tallt will bring aonther sharp recession in the tide of Mr. Kipling's popularity, which even the acceptability of his earlier works has -failed effectually to resist." He evidently bad omitted to Inform him self on the ' essential point that this proposed reciprocity treaty, whether It is to be regarded as good or bad, may be terminated at the pleasure of either country and that It does not bind Canada forever and aye, as he seems to think, in the avaricious grasp of a more powerful nation. The conserva tives of England who got Mr. Kipling to write his letter sbould have given him better data from which to make hisrgament. A Trifle Premature. Nebraska's new commission plan law went Into effect July 7. On the same day The Bee started out Its commis sion plan petitions, which had been signed, sworn to and filed before the month was up. The commission plan election was held, after due notice, on September 2, and the vote In favor of adoption recorded more than two to . . a, IV. one. BO lar, SO good, since an uio yiw limlnary steps have been thus far com pleted. The commission plan, however, cannot become operative in Omaba un til the commissioners are chosen and installed,' and the election of commis sioners ' cannot take place until next April. April, 1912, Is still six months ahead of us, and while it is naturally to be expected that possible candidates for commissioners' Jobs will lose no time in getting busy, it is a trifle pre mature to become excited this early over an event that is not to be pulled off for weeks and months. The people of Omaha have a lot of things in sight that will demand their a.ttAntinn t the interval, and will have plenty of time to take up the matter of manning the commission plan government after some of these more lmmHnt .. pressing propositions are out of the way. It is a good rule not to try to cross a bridge until you have got to it, and also not to cross more than one bridge at'a time. The Bee will not neTt the commission plan proposition nor overlook the reason for it, which Is to Improve our city government, when the time is ripe for action. It is officially announced that the place on the University of Nebraska's payroll, vacated by our old friend, Jas per L. McBrlen, who called himself "directoi of the University Extension bureau," Is not to be filled. The uni versity authorities are to be com mended for their wise action, for how could the arduous labors so ably per formed by McBrlen be successfully car ried on by anyone else? - If their preferred candidates had been beaten in the primary, our local democratic organ would be exerting it self Just as bard to Incite Third ward republicans to revolt and come across for the democratic ticket. That agile sheet, that was allied with Dennlson s gainst the commission plan in the last election, can play them coming and going, Just so it boosts the democratic game. Note the source of the relief expedi tion that is being sent out to rescue the South Omaha police commissioners against whom Governor Aldrlch has in stituted proceedings for official law lessnesa. No need to Identify the ac cused police commissioners with the democratic label, Now that Mr. Bryan's theory of knocking out the trusts by putting trust-msde articles on the free list has been abandoned by the democrats, we suggest that Mr. Frank Go ten be dele. gated to end 'em by clamping his hon orable toe bold on (hem. For the Information of visiting post masters, they are advised that the Omaha postoffice building was erected on the same architectural plans as the postoffice building at Washington This so they will not make any serl ous mistakes.

Beatrice Sun: Omaha has decided to adopt the commission plan of city govern ment, snd the ms.lorlty wss sufficiently large to show that the people are not afraid of a new departure. Beatrice Express: Some good work waa done In Omaha by friends of the commis sion form of government, snd It passed by more than two to one. No doubt the majority of the people of Beatrice favor the change In city government, but the friends of the plan should not be caught napping. There Is some opposition and this opposition will be actively In evidence shortly. Wausa Gazette: fTh commission form of government was adopted In Omaha at a special election last'Saturday by a vote of two to one. This ought to be the dawn of a new political era In the history of our state metropolis. There Is eons'derable In the city administration In Omaha that will stand Improvement, and If the com mission form is all that IS claimed for it by its advocatea. Its beneficial results cannot help being felt in Omaha. Blair Pilot: Omaha adopted the commis sion form of government Saturday by more than a two to one vote, and will elect seven commissioners at the regular fall election. The World-Herald pulled back on the plan during the campaign for two very poor reasons one wss that The Bee was supporting the new plan and the other was that the democrats already have con trol of the city government and any democratic government Is good enough for the World-Herald, no matter how bad It Is. Hastings Republican: Now that Omaha, Nebraska's greater metropolis, is the first city in the state to adopt the commission form of government there Is a feeling abroad that certain Interests will endeavor to prevent that city from making a satis factory try-out of it to the end that other cities In the state may not be so anxious to adopt the new system of conducting municipal affairs. Just how wisely and how well Omaha will succeed will depend on the character of the men and the hon est endeavor that will be put forth to make it the success hoped for. Central City Nonpareil: Put on your good clothes the millenlum Is at hand, for Omaha has adopted the commission form of government. In the election the proposition carried by a vote of about two to one. the notorious Third ward being the only section of the city to register a ma jority against it Evidently the better class of citizens of that city are begin ning to assert themselves. The commis sion form of city government is not per fection by any means, but it is a vast Improvement over the kind we have been used to in our big cities and It ought, to help Omaha Grand Island Independent: By a vote of approximately two to one. Omaha adopted the commission plan of government, and will, at the next general city election, elect seven commlssloners-at-large and along non-partisan lines. Instead of ward coun cllmen and a mayor. The seven commis sioners will select one of their own num ber for mayor. This plan, applied to the cltv. under the law passed by the last M mean the election of IDRIVlw-l " three commissioners Instead of eight coun ctlmen and a mayor, one of the three to be chosen mayor, and all three to have offices In the city hall, and, according to the spirit of the law. to devote their entire time to city affairs. Kearney Hub: Omaha adopted the com mission form of government by a decisive majority, there being 5,662 votes in favor to 1.263 against. .The campaign was not particularly aggressive In favor of the proposition, and the elements opposed did nt nresent any organized lineup at the polls, so that the vote may be taken aa a fair, normal expression on Omaha voters for a change. Possibly any nrnnnaltlon that contemplated a complete change of administration and a breaking up of the Dahlman regime would have received as large a vote. coniraiuLuui.. m. imv not he in order for Omaha. depending on the kind of men selected to form the first commission, and that Is a matter again for the voters of Omaha to decide. ' THE WAGES OF SET. Washington Herald: The lesson of It all was told long, long ago In a single sen tencethe wages of sin is death. St. Louis Times: But the point seems to us to be not so much the final question of k n.nt or innocence of thus one person. but the fact that a rich man accused of a most serious crime has been arrested, tried n rnvieted within less than two monuis, in spite of the multiplicity of high-priced legal talent at his command. CMro Inter Ocean: With the lire oi a bnman hftinr still human though most de- nraved In their hands these Virginia farmers were not ashamed to pray together for divine guidance.. They were never in disagreement The. proofs were to clear n,i convincing-. They felt that they could not do otherwise than condemn the ac cused by the punishment decreed by human and divine law tor nis crime. Baltimore American: The appearance oi principals in unsavory cases on the stage in any cspaclty and In moving pictures ae urvH all the denunciation It receives. The Influence of this notoriety and the com mercial value placed upon it by those quick n t&ka sdvantace of the unhealthy, mor bid public curiosity in such cases is about the worst which could be brought to bear upon young Immature minds. It lessens their horror of crime to see such an atmo sphere thrown around it, and It puts a cash premium upon its actual commission. T healthv nubile ODlnlon the explotlng of this notoriety Is nauseating. And in many cases the sound public opinion has mane the commercial appeal a failure. COMPLEXION LOTION BETTER THAN POWDER "I never recommend face powder to beauty seekers," says Mae Martyn, noted beauty specialist in the New York Tribune. "Face powder will eventually ruin any complexion. It clogs the pores, causing blackheads, wrinkles and ugly, rough com plexions. "Women who want the. beet complex ion beautlfler, and ens that imparts lasting beauty, should try 4 ounces of spurmax. dissolved in H-plnt hot water with 1 tea spoonfuls glycerine added. Or, by using H-ptnt wttoh hazel instead of the water It will dry more quickly in cool weather. "This Inexpensive lotion makes the skin very smooth, soft and youthful looking. It takes away that shiny, sallow look and does not show or rub off easily like pow der." Adv. TOOTHACHE Stops instantly when you apply. DEIIT'S TOOTHACHE GUH Dons aol spill or Art Bp. AHrars saady .
