Cut Out tho Street Fair.
The pride which every loyal cltlicn
of Omaha lakes In Ak-Sar-Uon ie
tempered with one regret that the
pt root fair feature is still retained,
although the only purt of Ak-Sar-Ilen
that bas degenerated rather than Im
proved.
The Ak-Sar-Ren paradea and pa
geanta are unexcelled, and fully merit
the unstinted praise which they re
ceive.
The street Illuminations are dazz
ling and artistic, and compare favor-
aly with similar displays anywhere.
The grand court ball, to uae the
language of the eminent wild game
hunter, has them all "beaten to a
frazzle," for nowhere In this broad
land la a spectacular ceremonial so
magnificently staged or so perfectly
executed.
The big, black blotrh on Ak-Sar-
Den Is the ttroet fair, which has come
to be flnjply a carousing resort of the
rouKh-and-tumble variety. Origi
nally the idea of a fair had some
representation In it through the in
stallation of booths by local mer
chants for the display and aale of
wares, but this haa long alnce van
ished before the cheap sideshow and
the flimsy or fake concessions.
If there ever was anything enter
taining, instructive or wholesome
about the street fnlr, It is no longer
there, and the disastrous (Conse
quences of the bad weather this time
has taken away the aingle remaining
excuRC that It is needed to replenish
tho royal exchequer. As a gamble
that it will not rain, It is extra-haz
ardous and at best the net profits In
commensurate.
Tho Bee believes it voices, general
public sentiment in urging that the
street fair be cut out, and something
else suBtltuted for it that, will offer
decent amusement of the popular
kind without so. great a weather risk
something that will help exalt the
naino of Ak-Sar-De.n rather than call
constantly for excuees and apologies, I
Canada Clings to Old Idols.
Though the agreement for reci
procity with Canada is dead and
burled. It may not be amiss to revert
to history a bit for comparison of the
main argument used by Opposition
Leader Borden, who so vehemently
dwelt upon tho bogey of annexation.
Mr. Dorden should not be blamed too
harshly for originating what Ameri
cans regard na pure sophistry to land
him. in. the premiership of Canada.
For. bo did not originate the argu
ment of annexation. Hack in July,
1848, when there really was soma
talk of the. United States, annexing
Canada, Lemuel A. W,Umo,n a, dv
spendant.of aMaasachuscita tory, ad
dressing the provincial parliament of.
New Brunswick, declared, an thn
filna.of tho North American Review
show: '
Were I In the councils of the United
BUtea and wlshad, to. annca UiejML col
onies to. their U'l union, I would
counacd, the. savernment to. free trade

the people of t til a country be forced
from the home market, and their Inter

That is, exactly the argument used
by Mr. Borden,. Tho astonishing fact
la, however, that it could; have had
such declalva ' weight these sixty
three years after the cry was first
raised by this tory in the, New Bruns-,
wick, parliament. It might suggest
to Anierlqana that in spite .of all their
eager effort., to , convince Canadians
of our genuine friendship and sincer
ity la declaring that annexation is,

of, Canadians, cling to the tradition
and suspicion and refuge to. take a

Cinfoli Enterprise. t
Methodist statistician, at the. Ecu
menical council showed a loss, la total;
membership of that great church,
la Engllsh-spvaking countries only
the Episcopalians have had. a larger
membership than, the Methodiata. So
It la a matter of some concern to Und
a falUng-off. roRelbly the Metho
dists' loss haa been some other
Church's gain and If that be true
there Is no loss after all to. the cause
ot evangelical Christianity, Since
the denominations are noticeably
coming closer together such a de
nouement probably would not grieve
the Wesleyajia so deeply as It might a
few years ago, '
But, the church, after all, haa a
function qui aside from merely that
of getting, menders. It can ev o af
ford, now and, then to forget its pur
suit of new- members In order that It
may adjust Itself to tUI. other (uU
loft. And that Is the mlaslou ot help
ing thseworld to nywt its everyday,
worldly problems. Let It hold, iu
position, of leaderahjp In this regard
and probably noue of tho denoiuina
tiMia nued worry about-keeping up
niuib;rship.
A1J the churches havo, no doubt,
come to see that they aud the man In
the street aro not aa clog together as
they should be. The church caa do
little wit,b thla wan In the street un
til It gets down a common medium
of intercourse with, him, where It can
talk to htm and help him. When it
dues that, when it projects lue.lt Into
tho everyduy life of the community
aa a real, potent factor for human
service. It not only enlarges its use
fulness, but It exalt.VlUelf la worldly
estimation.
ilre la the opportunity, it stems
to us, for the M n and Religion For
ward Movement and similar enter
prises. But to do that Involves the
obligation for the church of getting
its own forces awake and working.
A militant body of churchmen in the
pews will at least give others the
notion that the men in the church,
themselves, believe In It and have
been benefited by it.
Political Amenities.
The appearance of Mr. Bryan in
the reception accorded to President
Tatt at Lincoln, and the Interchange
of personal compliments between the
two, is calling forth more or leas
comment throughout the country
But while it Is not unusual that the
leaders of two antagonistic political
part lea, who have striven against one
another for the highest office in the
world to which men may aspire,
should be on terms of friendly in
tercourse, the striking object-lesson
should not be lost upon those who en
gage in contentious rivalry for a
prize which can goVo only one.
Politic ig aa Intense In the I'nlted
States as in any other country, and
the severity of our political cam
paigns seem often to break and over
step all bounds, yet the education in
self-government for more than a cen
tury has taught us fairly well where
to draw the UJie between political
difference and personal hostilities.
When we say. has taught "u.," we re
fer more particularly to the men
rather than the women, for we often
wonder whether two women, after
fighting one another fiercely through
a presidential campaign with all the
weapona and resources at their com
mand, would, before the next campaign-
arrived bring themselves te
the point of. felicitating one another
in public 1a words of mutual respect
and admiration.
We believe that in no, other field
but politics, and in no other country
but ours, does this condition prevail
in the same degree. And we'
bcljeve, furthermore, this accounts in
large part, foe the., stability of our
popular Institutions despite thq forces
of personal aggrandizement and self,-i
Ish ambition.-
New York's Personal Tax Law.
New Yorkers express satisfaction;
with the operatLon 0 thelf new state
tax law, which, le knowa as thq "se
cured debt" statute and exempts from
local taxation bonds and other securi
ties where the holder pays onco for
all a recording tax of i of 1' per cent
ot the face value of his securities.
The state comptroller reports that
the law Is working so- - well that,
though It onjy became effective Sep
tember 1, $7 10, Out) was brought Into
the state coffers by October t, Indi
cating a registration ot $150,000,000,
In bonds. For the first, month of tho.
law's existence that Is regarded, aa
an, indication of what may be ex
pected of it. when the people become,
thoroughly accustomed to it.
The state officials expect to get
actually more revenue from these in
tangible forma of personal property
than was ever brought in under the
old general property tax. It is not
that people prefer to dodgo a tax that
they are sometimes slow to Pay it, but
only because under certain old meth
ods It falls rather heavily upon them
at the time. This New York Innova
tion Is being watched by other states
and may offer a substantial means of
Improvement, over present systems
elsewhere. One thing Is certain
people are studying this subject of
taxation more, than, over, for they
have come to. see the truth of it, that
It Is vitally fundamental.

Lctson of the Manufacturers' Parade.
The popular verdict acclaims the
success of the Manufacturers' parade
portraying through artistic floats
Just how goods made In Omaha are
produced. Manifestly, the object of
this exhibit, although a part of the
Ak-Sar-Ben pageant, goes beyond
mere amusement and entertainment
and Includes the exploiting of our
varied and growing manufacturing
interests. The purpose of the parade
is not only to, please the eye, but to
Impresa every spectator with the
fact that he can satisfy his needs
with home-made products iu many
lines just as well aa with those made
in other places, and at the same time
help build up his own town, rather
than some other town. It is not the
prUe for toe prettiest float or for
the best idea, nor the desire just to
help out that induces , participation
in the parade; it la. In fact, the,
advertising of the goods and the ex
pectation of stimulating . by that
means the demand for them.
We. are emphasizing the advertis
ing side of this manufacturers'
parade because we want the manu
facturers to, realize that to get full
benefits they must follow it up with
other advertising with Judicious
newspaper advertising with paid
newspaper advertising to supplement
the free advertising they get on
account ot the parade. The duty to
patronize home Industry is a great
talking point in selling goods, but
the only way to talk to the people of
Omaha what buy the goods Is through,
the columns of a-newspaper like The
Bee, reinforcing the argument with
occasional participation In parades,
expositions, trade excursions, etc.
How far off nearby folks can some
times be Is illustrated by this from
the Lincoln Journal:
The Interstate Comroeroe commission
did well to fix tho rule for. crossing the
railroad bridge between Omaha add Coun
cil lUuffe at a dime. The, old rate pf a
quarter, while not' prohibitive, has been
profit to the compuny out ot all pro
portion to the coat and maintenance ot
the. big bridge, It is well that the. people
are now in a position to rebuke the com
mon, carriers when greed prompts them
to overstep the bounds of JuMlce and
quality.
What tho decision really did wag
to, deny aa application for reduction
of tho bridge, fare from 10 cents tq
6 cents, and Instead to give bridge
paaserfgers free transfers to connect
ing Omaha lines. Aa a matter of
fact, it would probably be hard for
the street railway company to tell
whether It ha,8 gained a victory or
sustained a loss, measured by mono-
tary standards.
Mr. Bryan is annoyed by the story
that he has made $25,000i put of.
o,nlo,ns. In Texas. 1 would probably
be more accurate to raise the figure
to. $50,000, aud substitute for the
onions the gate receipts on the lec
ture circuit. In the interest of truth
and accuracy this correction is due.

CARAVAN .OF THE DESERT.
Clinton Scollard.
From underneath the carob shade,
A wavering line of gray and white,
t watch it lose its form and fade
Like dreams across the faoe of night
Whither It goes I can but guess.
Haply where ruined Tadmor elands,
The voiceless haunt ot loneliness
Amid the desert's swirling sands;
m
Or toward the Tigris' tawny tide
' Into that land of undent thrift
Where Bagdad's rich bazars spread wlds
And Haroun'a minarets uplift;
Or toward the swart Arabian skies,
' The home of sempiternal calms.
Where pilgrims seek their paradise
Through Mecca girdled with its palms.
.
Yet whoso'er It fares, I fare.
In buoyant spirit I am one
With those that drink the .untramrnelea
air
The nomad children of the sun.
i
From camel back I scan the waste .
A fair oasis sign to find, ,
And stranger to all thoughts of haste
Let my kaffyeh take the wind.
Sandaled with silence on I press.
Rousing before the flower of morn,
Through spaces where forgetfulness
Senna to have dwelt since time was
born.
And when, with soothing touch, comes
night
After the round of Jars and Joys,
Above the head. In Allah's sicht,
The hosts .of heaven wheel und poise.
Throughout the strangely tranquil days
I Join In prayer and fast und feast.
Looking on life with luntr, kIow gaze
As does the latausuu east.
And then and then the goal! Ah, me!
At last, wherever rangeth man.
How well we know that there must bo
One bourn for every caravan!
