Announcement that Omaha will have a new poatmaater la the peraoa of John C. Wharton will, we believe, be received generally with approval, although the supporter of other can didate will a usual Indulge in fault finding. Mr. Wharton is a long-time resi dent of Omaha. He la an attorney in good atandlng at th bar. He has been active in all aorta of public and charitable undertakings, and be ranks among our substantial and public spirited citizens, Mr. Wharton has also been an energetle and con sistent republican, which In bo way detracts from hla fitness for the of fice. Everybody, we believe, will there fore agree that the Installation of Mr. Wharton aa postmaster will no ticeably raise the level of qualifica tion and service, and help lift the local administration of the postofflce to a higher standard. Senator Brown Is to be commended for aeeklng a high ctass man In this appointment It goes without saying that the new postmaster has a man's job In front of him to restore efficiency and discipline In a thoroughly demoral ized Institution, and make It fully responsive to the growing Deed of the community. This task cannot be performed in a week, or a month, yet It accomplishment will measure tbe success of the post muter. In work ing out the problem he will be en titled to the aupport and asalstaoce of both tbe employe Inside, and the patron outside, of the office. Trtnty-Making- in the Open. Thai eight senators who voted for star-chamber consideration , of the proposed peace trestle with Prance and Great Britain, take the sacred function and tradition of their of fice too seriously. If the president f the United Bute can afford to dis cuss th subject with the people on the public rostrum, th aenato may feel perfectly safe In opening Its door. Probably no treaty affecting thie country ever commanded the popular Interest that these compact do. They ar essentially popular measures, In sofar a compact between nation can. be. Tby have been discussed pro and con In th press and upon the platform throughout the country nd carry a special weight of Interest to every cltltea who take the pain to think aerlously upon the affair of hi government The president, him self, set the example of pubile dis cussion of them. How, then, night the senate refute to follow that example? . Senator Lodge plea that the "deli cacy of the entire subject of foreign relations demand that discussion of It be executive" Is not likely to appeal to the majority of people, especially with reference to these particular treaties. After all th mask of sen atorial tradition and form I torn away it Is the unit of popular Interest which Is th real vital factor in the whole movement. ' Jim Flyna, who la matched to ifht" Mistak Johnson la being referred to as th "smoke Inspector' instead of the white hope. He cer talnly looks bopelesa.

But any one reading that paper during any political campaign for year would be led to believe that Roaewater was running for every Im portant office on the ticket, so that a far aa being a target for th local democratic organ la concerned, that I no new experience. A Word with the Governor. According to a report from Lin coln, Governor Aldrieh la nettled over tbe failure of the Taft force to include him In th lift of Taft dele gate to represent Nebraska In the republican national convention to be presented for ratification In the republican primary. Tbe Bee and Ira editor have only the friendliest feeling for tbe gov ernor, yet we see no reason why be, after announcing himself to be op posed to, Mr. Taft'a nomination. should expect to go on the Taft dele gation. If we were having a atate convention to name a gubernatorial candidate, and Governor Aldrtch and his friend were selecting a delega tion from hi borne county to pro mote hi candidacy, they certainly would put no one on It who wa not for him, and ready If they won out to stand on the firing line In hi behalf. It I true governor have hereto fore been commissioned to represent thl state in national conventlona. but so have senators and congres-i me, although not all of them, nor eves all tbe governor. The newly enacted primary law, which wa put on the statute book by virtue, of Governor Aldrlcb's signature, la plainly calculated to make It difficult, If not Impossible, for any one seek ing nomination for any other place on the ticket to stand at the aame time a a candidate for convention delegate nnleaa there I no contention or contest whatever over the posi tion. If Governor Aldrlch 1 for La Folletta, or for any other candidate for president, nothing prevents htm from offering himself for delegate under any flag under which be cheosen to enroll. But In this respect the governor occupies no different position than Senator Brown or Con gressman Norrls, or every present elective officer aeeklng re-election, or promotion. It strikes u that th one thing to be kept la view by all the party lead er In tbi state Is, that to maintain republican ascendancy, all republican element mutt be brought together behind tbe ticket which the people will be called upoa to vote in November. It la suggested that the number of name to ba voted on each ballot In the coming municipal primary I la auch doubt that a test In court will be required.' The doubt seems to be shared chiefly by the professional of- See seekers,-Imbaed with the fear that If tbe number I seven, as the law (tat. Instead of fourteen, tbey may not get under the wire. With Mr. Carnegie' graphic con fession of how he got tt before us, we ought to appreciate more keenly hi anguish at th thought of dying richer than Rockefeller. If there wu any lingering thought anywhere that Omaha' present Natby waa to hav a second term or to hold over Indefinitely, It at doubt- lee dispelled by this time. The late Ernest Stuht wa a pic turesque character whea be was a member of Omaha' city council. It 1 fast coming to a point where the roll call of those old city council will elicit few responses. With calmer In the west. New York 1 just bow feeling the vortex of a storm between the Time and th World over which is the oldest mem ber of tbe Ananias club, each paper delating the distinction. Nebraska City la the latest to fol low Omaha's lead la adopting the commhsHoa plan of municipal gov erameot.. It Nebraska City ran short on eeaiaiasioaera, Omaha any fey that time "have a surplus few It salgbt tpar. Thou with Hothini at Stake. Aa organ of th special Interests, Id tbe course of a discussion of th situation, superciliously observe that "those with) nothing at stske are In different to business disaster." But who sr those la this country with nothing at stske? Not even the politi cian may be sb classified. Certainly the small merchant or manufacturer. or farmer, or sub-contractor, or tradesman, or wage earner, may not. They, who make up the great mass of American people ar not "those with nothing at stake and are not In different to disaster." If tbey were we siould not have had any such popular demand tor certain change In tie government' relation to private Industry. It la from these that the demand has come and cause they had their all at stake, In deed of nothing. When big business chafes under the rod of correction which a Just government. In response to th peo ple's demand, lays upon it, let It not make the mistake of Imagining that forcing It to obey the same laws that govern little business Is a blow at legitimate Industry. Big business Is in no danger of dlaaatrous results so long aa It yields a ready co-operation to tbe government in tt large taak of regulating It and there la do lia bility, whatever, that it will be rua over by the little fellow. Propor tionately, the email dealer and even the wage earner has, perhaps, more at stake la this struggle tor a more' equitable distribution of powers and privileges tbaa tbe predatory corpor ation, for hla all may be wrapped up In a day's transaction or a Week'a work. Nor baa he the facilities or power for recuperation la the event of diaatter that are enjoyed by the larger ones. No need to carry agita tion to th point of Injuring any legit imate Interest, big or little, but re forms and laws cannot safely be ah aped to fit tbe dimension of any on Interest. Too much car caaaot be taien to protect ear legitimate organisation of capital, but tbe same protectioa atuat likewise be accorded the small concern If we would arrive at aay wholesome readjustment of affair. Washington advice are to th ef fect that before designating his choice of a new postmaater for Omaha, Senator Brown waa aesured by Senator Hitchcock that hi selec tion would be acceptable to him. It remain to be seen whether It Is ac ceptable to Senator Hitchcock's pews- paper.

Britain's Free Lance -Stormy ' fwtrol" ef . Title. la Death ef ateary fcahesnhsis. Th stormy petrel of British Journalism and politics passes away ta the death of Henry Labouchere, member of parlia ment. BUbHaher etvLondon Truth, states man and writer of distinction. "Lsbby," as he was called by k s Intimates, had not taken an active part la public affairs for years, the infirmities of aga compelling moderation. During th closing quarter of the nineteenth century he waa a m ghty fore In British afiairs, a radical of radi cals, whose radicalism so rsfuch dreaded In thee days, compared with the Uoyd Qeorge policies ot today, would be classed as hopelessly standpat. Always aligned with tbe liberal party, hla rigorous speech and trenchant pea helped to shape the progressive march of th party ot Glad stone, Bannerman. Asqulth and Lloyd George, and laid th foundations on which were bullded tbe recent achievements of representative government In Great Britain. Mr. Labouchere entered th diplomatic rvtc during th Crimean war. a youth of S3. He managed to see a good deal of life, and must hav brought his immediate superior Into a keen sympathy with the frame ot mind described In Ecclesiastes when th grasshopper aball be a bur den." -After ten years' experience ef diplomatic life h retired. But th mem ories ot the period dwelt with him, and furnished him In committee ef supply on the civil service estimatea with many quaint it occasionally apocryphal stories and Illustrations. One ot th best knows Is ot hi Journey from Dresden to Constantinople, which h quoted as illustrating th Inoperative niggardliness which rules at th foreign office In contrast with th wealth lavished on the continental residence of British ambassadors. Tit young attach not put ting In an appearance at Constantinople at th appointed period, formal Inquiry was mad as to th reason for the delay. After much trouble and considerable ex pens the missive reached hla hand, and In due course a letter arrived at the for eign office stating that as Inadequate pro vision had been made for his traveling expenses, and thst aa his prtvsie ntesns were limited, Mr. Laboucher waa walk ing, and would In du tlm reach the shores of th Bosphoru. Another legend of his diplomatic career haa Us locality fixed at Washington, where he wss for soms tlm stationed. One day an aggressive Irate countryman with a grievance presented himself at the office, and demanded to see the British minister. Hs wss shown Into Mr. La- bouchers's room, who, with the suavity which never dese.-ted him In the most pressing moments, explained thst his ex cellency was not in. "Well," said the visitor, evidently suspecting subterfuge. "I must see him and will wait till ha comes." "Very good," said Mr. La bouchere, "pray, take a chair," and he resumed his writing. At the end of an hour the Britisher, still fretting snd fuming, esked when the minister would be back. "I really cannot say, exactly," th attach answered. "Hut you expect him back?" th visitor Insisted. "Oh, certainly." said Mr. Labouchere, and went on Writing, ss Madam Defarge, on a famous occasion, went oa knitting. At the end ot another ho ir the lrau visi tor, bouncing up. Insisted on knowing what were the habits ot th minister at that period of th day. .Waa he likely to be In la another hour; "1 think not," said Mr. Laboacher with Increased blandness: "the mot Is. he sailed for Europe on Wednesday and can hardly yet have reached Queenstowa. But, you know, you said you would wait till hs cam In, so I offered you a chair." In th heydey ot Mr. Lbouchrs strength and influence a London corre spoadent sketched his activities and traits in these words: "Labby writes th clear est and most workmsnl'.ks sort ef Eng lish, flowing from point to point in a way that lays bar th most hidden details ot the moat complicated narrative. The style In his case, It It Is not th man. Is at least the man s mind. Th writer, you feel, is dealing honestly with himself and with hia readers; nothing Interposes between his brain and yours but print. Mr. La bouchere haa th'e mental tests of a lawyer and a good deal more than the average lawyer's experience. No case Is so be wildering that his head cannot hold It or hla sen make aa clear as day. Through all the Intricacies of finance and stork Jobbing, as through all the details of th Innumerable swindles hs haa exposed, he moves with comprehending and unclouded certainty. He Is a cynic, and yet each year he organises a glgsntlo doll show and Induces th readers ef his paper te dree thousands of dolls for the children In th London hospitals. Ha Is a cynic and yet be plsys th part ot universal detective on behalf of th poor and op pressed. He Is a cynic, and yet h has spent a fortune la exposing quacks, usurers and swindlers that have preyed upon. Mi public H is a radical, and yet Truth owes a large proportion ot Its suc cess to th accuracy of its society news snd of It gossip about the royal family. In politics he cultivate strenuously the Mas of anti-patriotism. II antl-very-thing. He would demolish th House of Lords tomorrow; h Is a rampant pro- Boer, a home ruler, the most misguided of little Englanders. Everything, la fact. that ninety-nine Englishmen out of a hundred oppose he favors; everything they hare set their hearts en he kicks from him la Joyous contempt. He has been called tbe Fuck of English poilUca But he Is a curious compound, and I have heard mure thaa ene man say that there will be nothing en Judgment day that will quite equal tbe examination, of Henry Laooutkere."
