A man's good reputation also will last longer If well preserved. And yet Secretary Wilson talked to those brewers like a perfectly ober man. It would be a Joke on that Cali fornia exposition to open the canal ahead of time. It begins to look as if Philadelphia were the first town in the country and not the third. And yet every pitcher knows that base hall managers have always re sorted to the recall. Uetsha not a man in the country run tell where Wu Ting-fang stands on this war question. Of course, those who see fit to champlou the shady midway .shows may fool at home there. William Allen White speaks ot an Insurgent as a "fighting progres sive." Tautology, isn't H? No matter how popular a man may be, he in wise if he does not trade too much upon bis popularity. Now York's oldest, industry is tho fur trade. One could euslly suspect It was somo sort of a skin game. Tho muck-rake magazines that drowucd in thtilr own water probably will have loss to say about some other watered stocks. Senator Bourne will find many to agree with blui that what is needed is a business yardstick and it should not bo a foot rule, either. A distinguished speaker who got his toe pinched under a cornerstone he was about to lay hud to go on and praise the stone Just as if nothing bad happened. The question is asked, "Who shall reform the currency T" Why not let Mr. Frank Baker of Philadelphia. bo has so completely tamed Dig Six and Rube Marquard? Wasn't our reformed reformer also Koing to Institute proceedings against a host of disorderly houses and their landlords of which he said he had Knowledge? What is bo waiting for? It may be readily understood that the "stubborn glebe" readily yielded when President Taft pressod hta foot usaiubt the shovel in breaking ground for that San Francisco expo sition. A Cliicagoan returns from abroad with tho assertion that the Scotch Highlanders are becoming a dlinlnu live race, tie waited until bo was safely in Chicago, though to make tho statement.

A Lincoln paper, at it with Its hammer, thinks tho Land show should have been held In ludlau spoils instead of Omaha. What really means, however, is that should have been held ia Lincoln. Coibe on. Senator Hitchcock, It is up to you to unload upon Van All tlue that fictitious meeting of Eighth ward republicans "attended by 128 strong," to which you gave each generous front-page space in your newspaper a little while ago If you detest newspaper dishonesty as much as you pretend, you will umXt the public retraction. A Question of Competency. The republicans of Douglas county have renominated Robert Smith for clerk of the district court. To con test with blm for this responsible position the democrats have nomi nated Thomas J. Flynn, at present street commissioner under Mayor Dahlman. For four years the work devolving on the district court clerk's office lias been performed by Mr. Smith and his assistants, and the record thus made Is what the voters arc called on to approve by giving him the customary second term. Every lawyer and litigant, every Juror drawn on a panel In fact, every one who hns had any business to do in that office during Mr. Smith's in cumbency know that the office has never been better conducted, or tho papers, books and records better kept and as easily acccsxlble. Long standing abuses have been corrected, Improvements Inaugurated, and a particular effort made to serve the public satisfactorily, and, at the same time, economically. The only outcry we recall was occasioned by tho enforcement of tho law requiring prepayment of fees, and by tbls tlmo, wo believe, even thone who objected ara convinced that it wos tho right thing to do. If Mr. Flynn as the democratic nominee has any special fitness for the position of clerk of tho district court, it has not been disclosed. Mr. Flynn had the reputation of being a good plumber when he worked at his trade, which hns not been for a loiifr time, but there Is no plumbing to be done by the court clerk. Ills record in tho legislature Is not bad, and his service as Jailer under Sher iff Tower may have been up to the average. It Is, however, us head of tho street gang under Mayor "Jim," that Flynn has distinguished him self by drawing a salary from the city trensury while devoting himself exclusively to politics, and acquiring the sobriquet of "Doss" Flyun. Pre sumably, the "boss" believes that the larger salary attached to the office of district court clork would be a fitting reward for his political serv ices and give him a wider field for Dahlman club activities, but it is extremely doubtful whether the tax payers and voters will agree with him. Bright Side of Aviation. During the week another noted blrdman, Eugene Ely, aviated his life away. It really begins to look as if the ranks of conspicuous aviators were rapidly being depleted by death and each recurring tragedy provokes new Impatience at the hazardous en terprise. Yet, there ia another side to the picture. It Is well brought out by the World Today, which shows that Instead of being enormous, the death rato of aviators Is very low, as compared with other so-called haz ardous undertakings, and, indeed, it is so low as to remove aviation from the ultra-hazardous class. According to tbls magazine sluco 1903, when the first power flight was made, the total number of deaths exclusive of Ely'B and any that have occurred this month la seventy, not only for the United States, but for the world. That seems Incredibly small. On the other hand, when this compilation was made, the total number of flights was more than 10,000. including about 050 licensed pilots. That gives a low death rate, comparing, says the World Today. with that of trainmen and miners and being less than that of auto racers. It Is, certainly, a good showing and the better when one remembers how new and wholly experimental Is the art of aerial navigation and how rrudo and unfinished have been tnuny of tbo machines in which men havo met death. To these considera tions should be added this other, that mauy of these deaths could havo been avoided except for daredevil ad venture and sheer carelessness. Coait-to-Gulf Road. For years one of the dreams of Wyoming anu t oiorauo bas been a north aud south railroad line run nlng at least from northern Wyoming into Denver. Such a line will now be built If pluns credited to James J. Hill eventuate. Mr. Hill, It Is re ported from St. Paul, contemplates tho construction ot a road from Sent He to Galverton, and incidentally this report gains color from the fact that not so very long ago Mr. Hill bought up the Colorado & Soutberu. At that tlmo tho railroad world specu lated a good deal as to exactly his purpose. Many said it was only a part of his determination to intrench himself iu the Harrlman territory by securing uu outlet or terminal at Sau Francisco, as he already had at Seat tle, and that he would use the Colo rado &' Southern as a link In a road straight across to tho Pacific. This new line, it it is built, will ruu from Galveston to Denver via the Colorado & Southern, then north through Cbeyeune, Orln Junction and Shoahone, Wyo., aud on through Billings and Uutte to Seattle. It would traverse a country teeming with undeveloped wealth and oppor tunities. It would be the most nat ural stroke, it seems, for a railroad king to deal next In the west. Not only would It afford Wyoming and Colorado the north and south line they are seeking, but it would hook up this great empire of the northwest with another nearly as great In the southwest, as they are nut now booked up, and tie tbem more se curely to the midwest. Of course, there are railroads and rumors of railroads, and It is difficult to decipher the secret rode; Mr. Hill bas also been credited with a plan to run a line from the Canadian border through the Twin Cities to the Texas coast. It seems scarcely probable that ho will enter tipon the construc tion of both of these immediately, but 'it seems probable that one or tho other, If not both, will before many years be put through. Balm for Man's Heart Wounds. Woman has had her day at breach of prom Tho suits. She has taught the man with a plethoric roll to guard bis amorous words as carefully as he would his coin. Now, the tables have turned. They have been turned by a young male member of a promi nent minstrel company. His affec tions have been unrequited and bis heartstrings badly twisted. AIho bis lady love Is solo heir to a million and a balf, hence the crushing disap pointment to ambition as well as love. What young actor with an ounce of grit would not resent such a wanton assault upon his trusting heart? The meager sum of $50,000, ho thinks, will servo to heal every wound and repair all the damage. Certainly that la a fair demand to make of a fair lady with $1,600,000, who had given him every reason In the world to expect an even break on ot least a million of it. "She kissed me in the eyes and said, 'sweet little eyes,' and sent mo 'eye IUhscs' in her letters and on her postcards," asserts the plaintiff in a very plaintiff way, too. Now, what Incredulous, unsophisticated young man would not hand his heart out to a young millionairess for that sort of talk? And here it happens not only that the lady has toyed with his affections, but that, Indeed, be is the second victim. A $50,000 balm would bo a mere bagatelle! "Long enough havo we been cajoled, derided and deceived; It Is time for us to act." The great Irish patriot's words will do for the cue to those young men who feel themselves abused as this disconsolate youth has been. Suppose he should get the $50,000 or what portion of it his lawyer did not keep how would such a trifle ever re store his childlike faith in woman? How could he ever love again? Work for the Irrigation Congress. The Irrigation congress, which meets next winter in Chicago, should give its meetings more of a popular touch than they have had. It should give wider range and scope to its educative features. It should extond tho information it has about what the government Is doing for tho man who seeks 'a home on the soil. It should emphasize the fact that Uncle Sam has reclaimed millions acres of land, placed irrigation within easy reach nnd made the land a most tempting bait to set before any man looking for a good opportunity out in the great west. All this l quite as important as the technical sldo of tho congress' work. Its technical side bas done much that Is not to bo doprecnted, but tho movement has reached the place where It should take on more of a popular Interest. Tbo back-to-the-land movement will actually move when It gets up In front of the city man with a proposi tion so attractive that he simply can not resist it, but it will not move, Indeed, it has not, moved very far with mere sentiment as the chief motive power. There la so much to be tolif the man in the city that ho does not know and perhaps has never thought of about the opportunities In tho west, that it wpuld be well worth the while of this Irrigation congress to tell him and thus supple ment what the land shows, develop ment leagues and slmllur enterprises are doing. Mr. Bryan Insists on revising downward the declaration that 90 per cent of Nebraska republicans aro progreswlve, saying that In his opinion 75 per cent Is nearer the mark. Still, even on that basis, why should 75 per cent of the republicans, who mirst control their own party three to ono, vote to put democrats into office Just to please Mr. Bryan? Wonder If there Is any particular motive Inspiring City Comptroller Cosgrove la compiling and publishing "an anaiyttia ot the city hall con struction and equipment fund" Just at the moment when the democratic combine across the street is about to deal out the equipment contracts for the new court house. Reading the accounts of Mr. Bry an's speeches through Nebraska, It Is plain that bis desire to go to the democratic national convention to help nominate his preferred candi date is not nearly so Intense as his desire simply to go there as a dele gate. Now, we submit on th strength ot that pictorial folder gotten out In the Interest of the republican ticket in Douglas county, that the face of the returns entitle the republican candi dates each and all, to the prize ot victory ta the voting contest. There is a bare possibility that practically all the work of street Improvements undertaken in Omaha this season may be completed before the ground freezes. 'But don't let us holler until we are out ot the woods. In Other Lands Ide t.ltkti an What la Traaa plrlna; A moo a; the Near mn Far Natlana af the Karth. V The Mlaht nf lalain. Thoae who take stock tn the dream of the crosi floating above the ruin of Monle-m empires, a dream revived by Italy's raid on Tripoli, evidently do not take into account the strength, coheralon and expanding power of the Mohemmedan world. The might of Iplam comprehends SiO.OiAOOi) human beluga, acuttcred over the old world from Cape Verde to the Pacific. There are. wore Moklema In European Ruinla than there are Inhabi tants In Italy. In British India 62,000,000 Moslems celebrate Uie birthday of the Turklxh sultan with more rejoicing than they do that of the Br!tiih king-. Re cently the czar of Russia attended tho laying of a cornerstone of a great Mo hammedan moaqiie In BL Petersburg, and the emir of Bokhara, a Moslem potentate from central A "la, eat at hla right hand. Under tho stars and etrlpcs in the Philippines there are about 700.0U0 Moslem cltiiens. The number In Africa la not known, but according to one au thority there "Mohammedanism Is ad vancing like a sandstorm In the desert." Among the black people of Africa Mo hammedanism is making greater strides than the combined lubora of Christian mlsHionarles. To tho mighty host of ICalcm the aultan la tho living representa tive of the prophet. An attack on the Ottoman empire Ih regarded by the fol lowers of the prophet not only as an at tack on a political system, but an at tack on their rcllKlon. Once tho idea that the "hstod infidels" are warring on hla religion penetrates the Mohammedan tnlnd he ia ia tho fight to tho death, for deuth in the hoiy cause, by Koranio teaching, la tnude a passport to paradise. To show how doep-rooted Is the creed, and the rcadlngesa nf Mohammedans to make sacrifices for tho faith, the state ment is made by an authority quoted by the New York Sun that in response to the appeal of tho late Sultan Abdul Ilamld for funds to build a railroad connecting tho holy cities of Medina and Mecca with Damascus $100,000,000 was contributed in ten years, of which one-third was con tributed by the Mohemmedans of India. In the light of thexo evidences of Moham medan solidarity and seal the hope of dis rupting Islamlsm by a mere grab of ter ritory is as shadowy as the dream of Peter the hermit. An Oinlnona t'areat. E. Alexander Powell, late of the Amer ican consular service In the Ottoman do minions, discussing the "Moslem Menace" In the Outlook, expresses the opinion thai Italy Is tampering with a mighty and a dangerous power-. "Among all Moham medans," says Mr, Powell, "there Is growing an ominous unrest, a fierce con sciousness that the lands which they have for centuries regarded as their own are gradually slipping from tbem, and a decision that they must fight or disap pear. On the Barbery coast, the Nile, the Congo, the Niger and the Zambesi they see the turbans and the tarbooshes sullenly retreating before the white hel mets' implacable advance, and now they ee even the Ottoman throne, to them a great throne, shaking under the pres sure. Hence there ia not a Moslem in tha world today who will remain indif ferent to uny action which hints at the dismemberment of Turkey, for he knows full well that the fats of the Ottoman empire and the political fortunes of lulam are Inextricably Interwoven." Tho Hcvolutlon In China. When the Chinese two years ago began discarding their queues every pigtail clipped off marked a recruit for tho revo lutionary movement now In full blast Originally tho queue was a badge of subjection to the Manchu selzcrs of the dragon throne. For 300 years tho Manchus, though few tn number, have ruled the Chinese millions and lorded it over the native aristocracy with so firm a band that until the present one no serious attempt has been made to overthrow the usurpers. The present time Is a propitious due. ITndnr the regency of the boy emperor tha powers behind (he throne have built up an offlreholdlng combine from which tha progressiva ele ments have been excluded and Chinamen of ability and Influence sent Into retire ment or exiled. Thus the smoldering fire of race hatred have beon rekindled and have burst Into a flame Which gives promise of reaching Peking. All accounts reveal an extraordinary and unsuspected strength In the revolt, and even the cau tious correspondents, such as Morrison, who represents the London Times at the capital of China, talk of tha Manchu dynaaty as effete as well aa corrupt. An other singular feature ot this rebellion U that foreigners are not attacked; that pledges are made to respect the treaties and other obligations All going to show that this rebellion Is being carried out by Intelligent men after long study, prep aration and Intimate acquaintance with ICurupa and America during their exile. t it ( 1.1 1 1 UK Problem.
