Yesf city No! Inquiry late Urine; Cstt The moat lmpreaslTe point in the combat with high price la tfurope, as reflected In the president's tpecial message to congress transmitting the first Installment of the Bute depart ment's information collected from various countries, Is the fact that in spite of all the combined efforts to prevent It, the coat of fifing every where steadily Increase. Neither the prime cause nor most vital ef fect, therefore, has bees reached. Much interesting tight is to town upon the plan of co-operative asso ciations, which have conspired to se cure commutation rates locally by the pooling of purchasers and their interests. This is not fundamental, though. What has caused the condition that makes necessary such remarkable methods ss the communtzlng of do mestic interests this way? The fact is as far from discovery ns sver. The cost of living continues to Increase in America ss well ss the United Kingdom, Germany and FYs nee. The consumers' resources are unequal to the demands upon them. What is the cause and what the remedy? These questions are not answered in the very best results of the co-operative system. But this probing for Information Is s good thing. The malady cannot be successfully treated until It Is cor rectly diagnosed. Undoubtedly much Is to be gained by an exchange of ex periences between the various na tions, The condition is world-wide. so it would seem to demand a gen eral, ss well as specific, remedy. It certainly Is to be loped that con gress may offer some effectual pro posals of relief, giving a practical conclusion to the Important inquiry Initiated by 'the president The co operative1 association plan may be all right as far ss It goes, but whether it would work satisfactorily In this country remains to be seen. Million-dollar snows are getting to be almost aa common as ths money Itself. ' The worst of It is that ths golfers will have to wait s while yet before swarming the links. 1 ' j The Kanaaa City Star says the mustache Is "on the wane." Afraid to say "on the bum." , Old Man Winter Is bound to keep i sticking around tilt he gets caught In the lap of Mlas Spring! It seems there were mors bricks and hammers in that recent Kansas City primary than votes. , ; Perhaps .Mr. Carnegie would be willing to contribute to another Afri can faunal expedition fund. No one should blame the colonel for 'cutting his list ot pre-conventtoa speeches down to six or seven. i j I As s postscript to winter, this threat of s coal strike Is ' half so disquieting ss It would have been as s prelude. : ' The United States uses 110,000, 00 lead pencils every year. Makes o difference, we have to keep the box scores. Speaking of pungent pointers, folks might easily pick up s few from recent speeches by William Howard Taft . When the people voted that extra 1200,000 ot bonds to equip the new court bouse, they expected that to finish the job. Mexico la not going to attack us as long as Generals Chance, Calllhan, McGraw, Mack and others have their troops stationed so near ths border, .That Texas expressman who killed two bandits should not be overlooked by the peaceful Laird of 8klbo Is the dispensation of bis next batch of hero medals. . A British writer says Japan is only waiting for chance to push AmerV case off of Hawaii into the sea. The little Japs probably will wait quits s while, too. The esteemed New York Tribune guarantees a kick on the ahin aa s very effective means of foiling footpad. ' Tea, or a hard enough tweak of ths nose might help. It is still debatable whether Sena tor Cummins would havs fared better or .worse is the count of delegates ss Iowa's "fdrortts son" had the colonel staid In the background. , Governor A Ulrica, expresses his purpose to Insist on public control of whatever water power plants may be developed ta Nebraska. We agree with him with emphasis oa tits de velopment, j . ., , A new penitentiary chaplain has been found, but la taking ths posi tion and performing Its onerous du ties, ho should not forget he Is sub ject to gubernatorial recall without privilege of referendum. Nobody Is charging ths federal brigade la Nebraska with showing andse activity la behalf ot the presi dent to whom they owe their jobs. We are sot aware ona that Uoey are breaking their Becks to chip into the tsa.se iga. toad. ; , t u I Ufsiiaf Am. to Sell ife rest, It should bsro been unnecessary tor ths president, acting through congress, to establish mors ot as embargo upon the exportation ot war supplies Ipto a belligerent pen-Amr-losa country than was already soa talaed la our neatrsllty laws, but since the necessity has arisen It Is well the president and congress have acted. Their actios should be far reaching toward ntnlalstag cMI war in these countries. It would never be possible to Justify sa attitude ot seeming to foment strife wlthie the borders of our neighbors by eouats aaaclng ths exportation of ths mal tlons ot war. Our part, our solemn obligation, to theeo weaker republic) Is to point them by every example end precept, to the wsy of peace, and we wosld be committing, perhaps by omission, sa offense ws could pot ooadoao It we failed by any mesas st our command to do that ' General Wood, chief of ths staff ot the army, expresses ths belief that a Urge petrol slong the borders will be accessary to enforce this sew order ea the Mexican, rebels. Possi bly, but tbe chances seem to us very fair of getting the order accepted rstber than enforced.- The president has gained ths vantage ground, any way, in putting ths government out ot the path of being criticised for leaving this temptation la the way of our erring neighbors. Hs bss first mads our position consistent Mexico Is not the only pan-American country Into which, la times ot civil war. United 8tates dealers .have shipped arms. It is a question if many re volts have not been actually main tained by means of our unintentional aid to tbe revolutionists, sad ottsn It has happened that our, own people, residing or temporarily stationed la those countries, have suffered from the very arms which their neighbors at home shipped over. Pension. The United States government has pa's out tr peasiooa to Its soldier defenders. In round numbers, 14,000,- 00.000. Up to July 1, last year, It had paid to voteraas of the etvil war tl.m.Tlt.OOO, and sine then It h added aaother tlOO.OtO.IOs. It Is now paying ta pensions about lil 000,00 year- I Those Bgures, themselves. Indicate that the government has not been entirely remiss In Its duty toward tbe soldier, for Us payment of lust pension caa be regarded ta no other sense thss a dutv, as obligation. But still many a worthy soldier, who rare the best he had to the east of bis oouatry. feels, and doubtless not without some justification, thst bit country has not dons aa welt by aim in bis declining days aa It should havs done. The great difficulty now, in the mdjnatmsat of the pen sion system as heretofore, la In sr- rtTing at aa exact standard upoaj which to reckon pensions sad ths weeding out ot the andeeerrlng. In the coarse of a very fair die cosatoa of ths pension matter Senator Smith of Georgia was asked if he thought f 1.0,000,000 too much for this government to pay Its veterans now every year ta pensions, Hs said ho thought not but ho did believe that many n man was being overpaid and many another underpaid. if congress could eliminate all the un deserving pensioners, - it - would be able to do much better by the de serving. Also, It seems, that since pensions are determined partially oa the element of need, U these veterans whose eJreeimstasjees plan) them wholly above dependence were to forego their rights to their less fortunate comrades, a better distri bution could be effected. The State Prison Mutiny. The mutiny at tbe Nebraska peni tentiary resulting in tbe killing of the warden aad several of his assist ants is a most deplorable affair, sure to direct attention to conditions at ths prison, and the methods ot prison management employed there. The Information so far st hand is too scant to permit of serions discs s slon of causes for the outbreak or of preventives aad remedies. The only thing tbet stands out plala aad clear is thst the prison population is mads up largely of hardened crimi nals aad desperadoes, who must be held to strict discipline by sa Iron hand, and that anything that, tends to foment insubordination, or to Im press convicts with a aotlon that the authorities over them are undergoing a backfire. Is decidedly dubious and dangerous. Unfortunately, no amount ot BtoTaHzlng will restore ths Mves thst are lost Ths Immediate demand It to locate the responsibility, and, by making proper examples, to take ef fective measure against reoccur rence. - ; f The Question of Precedent The question of precedent enters into the present contest for the re publican nomination In two ways. In the first plsoe, no prestdsnt ones elected who has sought a sec ond term has ever been refused re-J nomination by his party. This is on ths theory thst one good term de serves another, a second by wsy of endorsement snd that' s president who had mads a good record It en titled to a vote ot eonfldeace. Ths second term precedent bss beea es tablished as firmly that to abandon it would be not only a reflection upon ths president but a confession by the party of Its own failure U measure up to requirements. Ir respective of complaints of fault-finders aad political enemies, tbe party has a right to bo proud of President Taft and bis administration, and e serious Indictment caa bo laid against blm separate from the party as a wbsls. Overturning the second term precedent snd nominating any oae hut President Taft would pat ths republicans almost wholly on the de fensive In tbe oomlng campaign. Rejecting the aeooad term prece dent la favor of Colonel Roosevelt would at ths same Urns be breaking tbe preeedont agslnst third term, which Colonel Roosevelt himself, has declsred 'the wlas tustom," aad eustoia wblcb rsgsrds ths sub- stance, aad aot the form. . Ths third torsi prsoedsat bss been before the American people several times, and has been Invariably affirmed by them. It has been before the people both at a "oottsecatlvo" tern and aa a noe-conaeeutlve" term, aa It was when ex-President Grant's name was urged upon the coaveatloa la 1180, tad ths people have refused to dis tinguish between them. The ready snswst . to this is, of course, that times havs changed, and that- we should not shackle ourselves In chains of tradition. Yet tbe very fact thst the precedent has remained unbroken front the foundation of tbe republic down to the present day nearly HS years makes a presump- Uea tn Its favor, and puta the burdea ot proof on the other tide. , Aaother phase of this question ot precedent, however, hss been sltaoet altogether overlooked. Tho reason a president who has made a good reoerd wishes re-election Is thst a seoewd tent bso been aoosvded his predecessors la the Whits Boots as a credit mark, and to withhold It wosld be regarded aa a discredit. Each president who commends popu lar confidence has a right to believe that hs is entitled to serve as long as ether presidents. Should ths third term precedent bo rescinded, every future president would figure that be also should have three terma, and failure to be accorded a third term xl be regarded si aa Imputation upon Snd n repudiation of bis record, just aa mack as a failure to be re nominated itmrm wauild mmw ha aa re garded. This side' of It wll. ws be lieve, sink In deeper the more the people ponder on It Roossrsll boomers profesa to be terribly shocked at the Idea ot refer ring to the presidential contest ss a 'game. Recalling sea 'asses en pressloas. "hit the lino herd." -play the gamo fair." "ssttaa to a frsssle,' and others, might serve to soften the blow. - A distingaished dentist Is making ths rounds of Omaha's public schools to talk to the children on ths care of the teeth.' Wont some oas volun teer to tell them about their eyas? The oculists need the business as much ss ths dentists. i Colonel reiser will either fool a lot of people or be badly fooled him self when ths votes oa vise presideat preference are canvassed. - Colonel Telser bss ran several tlmee on the political race track, snd nsver yet ws n talleoder.
