Consolidation.
Consolidation of Omaha and South
Omaha Into one municipal corpora
tion la being again agitated, and a
movement started In South Omaha to
resubmit the question at the coming
election. Ae the original adrocate of
consolidation, The Bee baa farored
the merger at ererj promising op
portunity. It waa almost tempted
four yeara ago to take up with forc
ible annexation, so obtuse did some
of our South Omaha friends seem to
be at that time to their own advan
tage. Previous failed attempts at con
solidation, however, have no neces
sary bearing on the present effort
except In this that the chief incen
tive for Omaha, namely, to effect
the merger In time to appear ai one
city In the returns of the federal
census, haa lapsed, and cannot recur
until the new decade is in eight. The
proposition, therefore, looks now
much more like a one-sided bargain,
and It rests with South Omaha as the
principal beneficiary to carry the
laboring oar. If South Omaha is
ready to come In and be one with
Omaha In affaire of municipal gov
ernment, as It Is In social, Industrial
nd commercial life, It should make
Its wishes knows, and Omaha will
doubtless try to accommodate.
If Free List Bill Were Signed.
It turna out that the wood pulp
clause of the reciprocity bill passed
by congress and approved by the
president la the only part of the
measure that becomes operative
since Canada's rejection of the propo
sition. So that the , United States
stands to gain and not lose by the
outcome. John Norrls, chairman of
the committee on paper of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers' associa
tion, says that the zone of free pulp
and paper will even be widened so as
to Include all of the favored nations.
But as to the general results, they
may not be vital one way or the
other.
What, though, would have been the
condition had President Taft signed.
n stead of vetoed, the democratic so-
called farmers' free list "bill? That
bill provided for the ree admission
first of agricultural Implements of
every kind and description and many
other commodities. Under the present
tariff law these agricultural imple
ments are admitted free to the United
States from such countries as do not
discriminate against us, but under
the democratic measure the proposl
tion wm not for reciprocity, but to
give to the other countrlea discrim
inating against us our marketa free
and without restriction, while asking
and receiving from Canada and the
rest, nothing in return. Had the pres
ldent approved that bill we would
not only have been compelled to
give tremendous concessions to Can
ada without any returns, but we
might have had to make similar con
cessions to other nations under the
most favored nation clause or put
ourselves on bad terms with those
nations.
All this was pointed out at the
time the democrata brought forward
this free list bill. It was conceived
in a spirit of antagonism to Mr. Taft
and not with a view of Improving the
condition of the American farmer.
And yet democratic organs have the
hardihood even now to declare that
'Upon the high and statesmanlike
ground the democrata met him
(Taft) more than half way." The
fact Is, the president has aaved the
democrata from themselves. Their
farmers' free list bill waa a piece of
political trickery through and
through and the astonishing thing la
that they are bold enough to attempt
to defend It.
Continuous Politics in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is in the midst of
another atate election. The demo
crata have renominated Governor
Fobs to succeed himself and an excit
ing campaign is ahead. Rhode Island
is the only other atate that elects a
governor every year. Twenty-four
states elect them every four years
and twenty-one every two years. The
governors of the territories of Art
sons, Alaska and New Mexico have
held office for terms of four feara.
It la strange that old conservative
statea like Massachusetts and Rhode
Island should prefer the turmoil and
turbulence that go with a general
election every year instead of at
greater intervale. The officers can
scarcely get their seata warm until
they have to begin laying planV for
another campaign. The ideal, of
course, la that the office will seek
the man and the man will devote all
his time and attention to hla office
from the day he enters It until the
day he leaves It, but Ideals In politics
are Intangible, if not unknown quan
titles.
Massachusetts haa been in the vor
tex of a political storm all the past
year, at least since Eugene N. 'Foss
became ita governor. Perhapa it haa
experienced more of this sort o? thing
than usual, owing to the peculiarly
aggressive and ambitloua character
of Mr. Foss. But that argues no mitl
gatlon. Every time another man
like Mr. Foss comes up the same
thing will be gone through with again
and so matter who the man may be;
he la not going to forget when he
becomes governor that in another
twelve morth It will be time to
elect n!m or his successor.
They may need such excitement to
stir their otherwise sedate life in thla
grand old New England common-
wealth, but one is bound to believe
that it doea not make for the best
tate government; that It does not
inure to the most stable political or
business conditions. Two years seems
quite frequent enough to overturn
state administrations. Of course, tt
is not impossible to imagine' how,
under certain conditions, two years
or even one year, would be too great
a period, but these conditions are,
after all, up to the people to control.
Air line Postal Boater
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
suggested In his brief flight with gov
ernment mail one of the wonderful
possibilities of aviation when it is
reduced to i practical basis. He,
himself, is elated at his test. It re
quires no elsstlc imagination to pic-
re the utilitarian advantage of the
iropJane to the government when
men learn how to run It without
wrecking it and their own lives. Thus
far .they have not acquired that
secret.
But aviation for mall carrylnr rur-
poees might be developed safely
here It would be less feasible for
the transportation of persons. Espe
cially does it seem so for short mail
routes. Of course. If this science Is
ever .so developed, we shall probably
running our mall aeroplanes on
e short lines for a long time before
establishing transcontinental routes.
But. that has been the history of
every other system of travel and
transportation, so it would argue
nothing, necessarily, against the ulti
mate complete success of aerial navi
gation if it had to come that way.
And, furthermore, that la also the
way in which this very department
of the government, the postofflce sys
tem, has been and Is being developed.
It la the way with, the later aeenciea
of the department free "rural deliv
ery, the postal savings bank and It
will e so with the parcel dobL It
Is the principle on which any system
mat is worth while la brought to per
fect fruition "First the blade, then
the ear, then the full grain of the
ear." Nature, itself, in the beginning
of creation adopted the principle.
With what spectacular force th
possibilities of mail transportation
tnrougn the air strikes iis; " How
nicely it will fit into and subserve
tne demands of this age of anxious
rapidity, when everything- must he

wny, an aeroplane could start from
New York with, its load of mail and
be in Omaha that same evening. Such
rapid transit now might be too much
Very well, then, that gives us the
time we need to perfect It"
A New .York minister once said
that only 39 per cent of all that
newspapers printed was worth while
which led the New York World to re
ply that that made a good case for
the press; for if 89 per cent of all
the effort of life were worth while.
life was far from a failure. That is
probably true with the Boston Na
tlonals and St. Louis Browns, which
have won fewer than a third of their
games this season.
The gentle insinuation is put out
by the city comptroller that all some
of the councilmen know about their
office Is what they see once a month
when they call to get their pay. Still,
that Is some Improvement, for in
older days they used to assign their
warrants in advance to warrant brok-
era or city contractors, and thus
avoid the necessity of even calling to
get their pay.
An ordinance providing- for an oc
cupation tax on dealers in coal and
building supplies has made ita ap
pearance in the city council. The
suggestion that there la any cause
and effect relation with the recent
organization of local dealers "to pro
tect the public against short weight
ing," is ruled out of order.
The city council has authorized
the employment of a superintendent
of gas street lighting at a salary of
$125 per month, "Including horse
hire." What Is the matter? Hasn
anyone a second-hand automobile he
wants to dispose of?
Ah, ha, now see what you did. By
defeating reciprocity in Canada, Mr.
Trusts, you have got W. R. Hearst on
your back with a threat to bring
about reciprocity as a universal con
dition.

A western visitor to New Tork or to
any of the cosst cities, is spotted at

silver dollars. Paper money Is the rule
snd stiver dollars a rarity east of Chi

leavea here. Westerners are always
losded with silver and seldom any paper.
We've got te take the silver dollars, of
course. Our main job Is to get rid of
them, and that is why we try so hard
to pass them on. The golfers won't take

Ifevel Scheme of Preavrher.
"If some one will give me 16.000, or even
2.000, I will equip for Hoboken a resort
for lovers which will Insure the young
people here against divorce and render
their married llfes happy and content
something that M per cent of the mar
riages now performed are not."
This is the statement made by Rev.
Joseph D. Peters, pastor of the First Re
formed church of Hoboken, N. J., who
has been concerning himself a great deal
lately with the social welfare of the
young people of the New Jersey city. He
has found that" a large number of
divorces annually are attributed to In
compatibility of temper and other rea
sons which, according to Dr. Peters,
might Just as well have been discovered
before marriage as after.
Dr. Peters Is firmly convinced of the
need of a meeting place for lovers and
It will not be his fault if he does not get
the funds to carry It through. He tntetMs
to solicit the money from citliens of
Hoboken; to supervise personally the
establishment and management of the
first "Resort of the Lovelorn" and, If
need be, to give the contemplators of
matrimony some healthy practical ad
vice on the art of making one salary do
for two people. Dr. Peters has been mar
ried almost as long as he has been a
minister and he says he Is well qualified
to lecture on the subject a clergyman's
salary being munificent.
Flashlights for Keyholes.
"If some evening you happen to see a

said a New Torker quoted by the Sun,
"don't think he la some bugologist ex

Is a busy man of affairs who has hap
pened to think of an Important memor
andum and Is writing It down with the

alized to even a greater extent than was

death waa due not so much to revolu

hatreds within the government circle.
