ing something more than 110,000,
000. including several small Items for
park purposes. One park project, for
instance, goes by the dulcet name of
Lovers' Lane, another, Krlngle Ford,
and It was thus our congressman
found his way into the thick of the
forensic conflict. Four times on one
page of the Record does he lift bis
voire, and although what he says Is
deftly sandwiched In between the
more lengthy remarks of other states
men, they are doubtless to the point
While It Is not feasible here to repro
duce tbe context in toto, we take the
liberty of reprinting just what our
own congressman says, picking up tha
fragments at intervals of a few lines:
Mr. Lobeck-What wfil these property

And so runs the thread of this bril
liant argument throughout on or
two additional pages, st advancing In
tervals. Realising the Inadequacy of
such fragmentary reports of the
speech, w yet think they serve the
dual purpose of reasaurlng Mr. Lo
beck's constituents' of bis lively and
constant concern for their Interests
and doing him the justice, which the
daily press dispatches deny, of giving
his otflcal remarks the publicity they
deserve and which those of other em

Buhop Mo Govern,
The announcement from Rome of
vthe selection of the Rev. Patrick A.
MeGovera of Omaha for th vacant
bishopric of th Roman Catholic dio
cese of Cheyenne, Wyo., will be re
ceived by tbe people of hi native
city with mingled feeling of regret
ahd pleasure. To those who have
been associated with him la minis
terial and civic activities comes the
natural regret at parting with a
forceful, energetic and ' devoted
clergyman and cltlxen, whose unaf
fected teal and simplicity mad his
Influence for good felt beyond the
boundaries of his congregation. -'
Th success thee bss attended his
labors in Omsha during the lasX fif
teen years long ago attracted the
attention of his superiors,' which
awaited th proper- opportunity to
manifest Itself la recognition and re
ward. Regret Is therefore tempered
by th pleasure of promotion wisely
bestowed.
What is Omaha's, loss Is Chey
enne's gsln. Bishop McOpvero takes
with him to his new snd neighborly
field of labor the Omaha spirit which
unifies and energises, develops and
moves forward regardless of ob
stacle. As aa orator, organiser and
leader, genial and gracious gentle
man,' Father McOovern possesses In
a marked degree the essential qual
ities of a western bishop. v
A Proereiiive Proposal.
Th keynote of the Tsft adminis
tration baa been economy snd effi
ciency a government service. It wss
sounded la the president's meeaage
to con tress at Its first regular ses
sion In these significant words:
Perhaps the most Important question
presented te this administration la that
of economy la expenditures sad sufft
etency of revenue.
Later In . that ssme message he
said that la order to make It possible
to reduce materially the permanent
cost of government a general reor
ganisation of all bureaus, offices and
departments would be necessary, but
before that could be don a scientific
Investigation would have to be made
and he bad, through lb Treasury de
partment Instituted such an Investi
gation, employing "on of tha most
skilled accountants In the United
8tstes" for the work, which he ex
pected to require some two years. ,
Since then President Taft baa
worked continuously along this line
of securing the maximum efficiency
tor tha minimum expense. His rec
ommendation to congress bow for the
extension of the merit system of the
civil service comes simply ss the logic
of his administrative policy, and not
as any new or sudden proposal. It
is progressive la the dost sense of
being a graduated step la his geaeral
plan of administration and of repre
senting truly what has come to be
known as "progressive policies.
This to the most Important move vr
made la the advance of the civil serv
Ice system sine it waa originated.
The president says It will mean aa
annual saving to the nation of mil

The Miners' Convention.
Reports from the convention of
the United Mine Workers of America
help the public to understand why
Joha Mitchell, or a maa of his ra
tional state of mind, was not accepta
ble a the president of that organisa
tion. One might easily get th no
tion from reading these accounts,
that the employers of labor in this
country were a horde of pirates who
have banded themselves together for
th avowed purpose of annihilating
every man who had to work for his
living. But for the responsibility of
exercising a restraining Influence the
American Federatloa of Labor might
well afford to agree to sever Vela
tlons with this organizatlou, so
largely dominated by tbe most rad
ical of socialists. P (
The first duty of rational citizen
ship to to save such men from them
selves. Socialism will never accom
plish anything of worth until it
achieves the sanity that It now lacks.
No wonder that the occasional eleva
tion to official authority of Its vo
taries so often ends In miserable
failure. Into this convention at In
dianapolis appears to have been
rolled all the accumulated vagaries
and platitudes, both In thought and
expression, which have been mouthed
and prated by every dry goods box
orator for tha last tea years. J
Yet it is just such exhibitions that
go to emphasise the Importance of
sane people acting ssnely. They have
to teach both by precept and ex
ample. It Is to the credit of the con
servative force tn union labor that It
haa aot permitted this wild element
to cut Itself loose from the psrent or
ganization, for while associated it
may continue to disturb and harass,
yet this relation affords th oppor
tunity to exercise a Deeded restrain
ing Influence.

SAMSON.
The Political soft pedal.
LINCOLN. Jan. li-To the Editor of
The Bee: Numerous criticisms have ap
peared of tbe speakers who were heard at
the late Taft meeting held In Lincoln.
Some put forward the plea that this Is
to time to use harsh language toward
those who do not like the president and
that the "soft pedal" should be used ex
tensively In the present campaign for the
nomination. We would Hke to call the
attention of the "soft pedal" advocates
te tha campaign being put up by the ta
Follette league In Nebraska. Is there
anything of the "soft pedal" nature ln
tha attacks they are making upon the
candidacy of President Taft? They are
not content with showing tht good quali
ties of their ewa candidate, but Insist
In making atUcks upon the candidacy of
another who. la tht course of events, they
might ne called upon to support, and haa
developed into a matter of conjecture aa
to whether they are trying to nominate
Mr. ta Follette or simply defeat Presi
dent Taft.
Because Senator La Follette Is a great
agitator and enemy of certain trusts Is
no reason that he will make a great
president- His chief lieutenant In Ne
braska, for Instance. Is tht greatest
political knocker the world haa ever
known, but no one for a moment believes
that he would even be a success as road
supervisor. The present secretary of the
ta Follette league may be a success at
publishing accounu of "progressive re
publicans who wIL vole the democratic
ticket If Taft Is nominated." but no one
believes that the publication of such
stuff will bring success to the ts Fol
lette campaign or Is even anything more
than potltlial Imbecility.
Were the opposition to President Taft
carrying on a "toft pedal" campaign. It
might ba political prudence for the Taft
and other political organisations to do
likewise, but as long as one class of
politicians carry on a campaign In which
the bass drum and the bass horn are the
principal Instruments It Is not reasonable
te suppose that the great political con
cart will be prolific of many harmonious
strains.
We believe thst the campaign should
carried on In such, a way that no
matter who the successful nominee, the
friends of tht detested candidates will
not be obliged te drown a principle In
order to help elect the republican nom
inee, but tha cry raised by certain de
luded mortala of "La Follette or a demo
crat." will not tend to make the friends
of other candidates push down very hard
oa the "toft pedal"

OMAHA. Jan. 17,-To the Editor of The
Bee: I would Hke to ask Prof. Oram
mann when tht movement for Women e
Suffrage was not centered on "respect-
commanding women?"
And wilt he make It clear how it Is that
women are able and do start all great
reforms, and do push them to the extent
of a demand thst the men must and do
meet. If woman has degenerated from the
position of "founder of civilisation?"
, If the family should cease to dominate
Ufa tha world would ba a social chaos.
Will Prof. Orummann explain what pre
vents that condition now?
Tha family Is still the invincible Integer
grounded en the divine taw of human
happiness and la still, at It must always
be. tht bulwark of all social life.
Tha world hat more people In It than
It ever had and It Is becoming much more
alive to its mistakes and tern tolerant

SL Louis Republic: The amended na
tional employers' liability law. which the
supreme court of the I'alted 8Utee haa
pronounced constitutional, waa approved
la tbe main by the railroads as well as
the great labor anions engaged In trans
portation. It was signed by President
Taft on April t, ttlt. and R take the
place of an act signed by President
Roosevelt, which tha court held to be
In violation of tha constitution.
We think this is the most Important
achievement to data of th Taft admin
istration and w congratulate It aa well
as tha people on the fact that one very
troublesome question has been settled and
settled right
Pltuburgh Dispatcii: Representative
Xerria ef Nebraska, one of the leading
Insurgents, ts urging that all postmasters
and postal employes be put under the
ctvd service rules. A large share of
the postal service Is already In tne classi
fied scrvio. but postmasters era not.
and tht lower class postoffleea are also
outside down to then lowest employes.
The proposition la aa Indisputable one:
but those who believe that Mr. Norms'
proposition will make capital against
Taft show their Ignorance ef tbe sub
ject. President Taft has for some time
made it evident that thia Is his desire
snd Postmaster General Hitchcock, ia hia

dential postmasters ef all grades be
placed in the classified dvU service."
Mr. N orris, therefore, commends bly

Spring Is coming, spring is coming!
On you editors, now listen!
Where tne lrlr-l,s hang frigid
In the sunlight, all a-gllsten.
Soon you'll bear a pitter-patter
That will last, perhaps an hour.
And the eaves will be a-dtipplng
From the Drat warm April shower.
Sorlna Is coming, yet It's coming
Oh you queer old weather prophet! '
Got the mercury a-ccastln'.
Do era the tube and couldn't atop It;
Soon the coal will cease to rattle
And to frolic down the chute
And you'll nave to be a saving
Money for aa Easter suit. ,
Kprlng Is coming, yes It's coming
Thought perhaps yoa didn't know It:
And 'twill sure deserve a Welcome
1 From thia poor frost-bitten poet.
' And all ho' tha mercury's Slipping -Down
the tube there, pretty spry,
l.et thia one thought, brothers, cheer yot
I eprlng is coming by and by.
