Why should our reform demo
cratic sheriff be so eager to knock
out the law that knocked ont tbe jail
feeding graft? This law ha been
saving onr taxpayer thousand ot
dollars each year. It is a reform law
it there ever was such a thing, and
should It fall through technicalities
pressed by cunning lawyer chasing
contingent fees, it would . be re
enacted on short notice. .
Good Ken for Commissioner. '
The desire to Inaugurate the new
commission plan of city government
in Omaha with "good men" In con
trol is universally professed. Yet
when It come to making selections
out of the varied timber a wide di
vergence is found as to which ones
come within that class. Every
I candidate who baa filed Is doubtless
'thoroughly convinced that be would
make Just as good. If not a better,
commissioner than any- other.
It goes without saying, too, that
essential qualifications ot "good
men" for these office are not re
stricted to any special calling or any
particular section ot tbe city. It Is
not .1 residence on "nob bill" or a
memberthlp In a country club that
assures efficiency as a municipal
off leal, or guarantee superior popu
larity as a vote-getter.
Familiarity with tbe men and
their claim to preferment will rule
out a large number who bav entered
tbe lists, for what reason no one but
themselves can guess. Out of the
remainder It ought to be possible to
find fourteen men entitled to qualify
for the final election, and out of
these fourteen ' candidate seven
really "good men" ought to be sifted
through the crucible ot public de
bate and popular campaigning. But
tbe expectation that all seven elected
will bear tb label of any group of
self-appointed slate-makers seem to
us quite remote.
Tbe voter for themselves will.
therefore, have to apply the test,
taking advantage of all tbe illaalna-
tlon, suggestions and guide tbey can
get. Unless sharp Issue yet de
velop, and none have so far been
drawn, the quest for "good men-
will turn almost wholly on the per
sonal equation.
Jut Whistling".
It Is really entertaining, and al
most amusing, to see our amiable
democratic contemporary. Senator
Hitchcock World-Herald, labori
ously whistling to keep It courage
up. It Is trying to persuade Itself
that the certain renomlnation of
President Taft will be "a I hopeless
victory," and that the opposition to
him stirred up by Senator La Fol
lette and Colonel Roosevelt and
tbelr followers will surely lead to
democratic success at tb polls la
November. It doe not disguise tbe
fact, bowever, tbat It offer these
crumb ot comfort as "consolation
for democrats" In tb midst ot tb
many trouble of tbelr-own. and to
Impress them nevertheless and not
withstanding that, "the tkle are
bright with democratic: realise.'
Somehow, somewhere, w seem to
have beard all thl before aot only
once, but often. Tbe democratic
skies have been "bright with
promise" every time a presidential
election baa come within tbe horlxoo.
only to be overcast with clouds of
detest when the votes were counted.
Four years sgo, as anyone with mem
ory can easily recall, lb nam
World-Herald was also tolling what
a "hopeless victory" tb republican
nomination for Mr. Taft would be,
and bow sure Mr. Bryan, whom It
now loves so ardently, was to occupy
tb Whit House wben vacated by
President Roosevelt.
The democrats were juat whistling
then, and are just whistling now.
Sunday Beereation.
Those who disagree with tb senti
ment will doubtless assert that the

Denver, March 17. Free Sunday bate
ball was advocated at a meeting of tb
Mm and Religion Forward Movesoaat
here br Paul Btrayar. social aarvtce ax
pert, of Rochaaur, N. T. Mr. Btrayar
aald Sunday should be a day for restor
ing not only the spiritual balance, but
the physical balance, and tbat It should
be glvea to recreation aa wall aa to the
church. 11a alao said the downtown
churches should be used tor free moving
pwture shows and eoncarta.
Without going into details aa to
what form of diversion or recreation
Is permissible or desirable on tbe
Sabbath, a lot ot good people will
second the motion tbat tb day
should be devoted to tb physical as
well aa the spiritual balance of the
man. The human body and mind
simply cannot get along without
some tort of periodical relief from
the exacting grind and routine of
dally work, and If it 1 poeslbl to
afford attractive relief, to rest the
mind and the body and at tbe same
time give the spiritual man a free
chance tor devotion, why not do It?
Experience bat taught and the
churches themselves admit thla
that men and women penned up In
factories, shop and offices six days
In tbe week do not flock to the
church on Sunday for their physical
recreation. Perhaps mors of them
should go there for their spiritual
balance, but do they not need, also,
physical recreation? Now, If that
can be provided In auch a way as not
to transgress either civil or divine
law, why not?
One of the glowing virtues of this
age i that mea ar becoming more
candid as to tb naked truth ot
things. Tbey art) more witling to
look at life aa it really Is and not
only at It ought to be. Tbe simple
fact Is tbat this country it made up
ot all classes ot people and they can
not b held to on fixed idea ot con
duct. .When more ot the social
service and religious leaders com to
some such view as expressed by this
Men and Religion expert they will be
leading ua nearer to a practical
working solution of a very difficult
problem.
Coal Miners and Operators.
The prospect of peaceful settle
ment between tbe miners and op
erator Is very welcome to the con
sumer of coal and tbe general bus
iness Interests of the country, upon
which the burden of a strike would
fall heavily. It appears thst there
is now little likelihood of a bitumin
ous strike, and fair hope for avoiding
one In the anthracite fields. Presi
dent Baer's acquiescence In the
miners' proposal for another confer
ence at least shows response to pub
Ik; sentiment favoring settlement.
When there Is a mutual desire for
peace greater tban the desire for
trouble, and a mutual recognition of
the prime Interests of the public In
evitably at stake, there Is ground for
substantial hope that capital and
labor may get together on a better
working basis, not only In the pres
ent case, but In permanent inter
course.
It la estimated that an anthracite
strike would cut oft a supply of more
than 7.600,000 tons ot coal a month,
representing a loss In dally wage to
tbe miners of 3&0,000. To reasona
ble men the contingency represented
by those colossal figures calls tor
sparing no effort to get together.
f Remember the fly.
Now is the Urn to begin the anti-
fly crusade. Winter la over, spring
is here and tbe passing of the snow
bas left refuse upon the ground
whkh. unless quickly removed, will
breed ill odor and germa. Such
places are where file thrive. To
kill the fly that would pest yon next
summer, therefore, clean away the
waste substance about your yard and
street and alleys now. This is
something In which the people may
join, privately and publicly, Individ
ually and collectively.
Every householder cleans house la
tb spring It not oftener. She
should be equally as careful ot her
premise outside a In. File do not
breed Inside of tbe house, orig
inally; tbey com from without
Down in your back yard may be
some organic substance which tb
snow ha bid, or la your alley. Get
rid of It Do not let It lie there to
rot and Invite nnsanitatlon.
It is to be boped that the city will
do all In Its power to clean alt ot It
yard front, back and ld Imme
diately; get tbe layer ot mud or dry
dirt, packed down by a winter'
snow, cleaned off and give the pec
pi a chance. Tbls Is not simply a
matter of beauty and comfort, It la a
matter ot health. Clean streets are
necessary to that end.
Architectural Idealt.
San Francisco has voted $8,000,
000 for the creation of a civic cen
ter, comprising a series of public
buildings. Tbe civic center Idea Is
not unique with San Francisco, of
coarse, but tbe feature of Baa Fran
cisco's undertaking lies In Its aspir
ing to definite architectural Ideal
which shall eu.rocterise the whole
city, distinguishing It above all other
municipalities. Tbe Chronicle ex
presses It thlt way:
It Is proposed at on bound to put the
city ot Ban Francises In the forefront of
the cities ot the world In respect te the
architectural expression of Its clrto life.
We hope to create an architectural sym
posium of civic activities and their hous
ing and environment, which for its har
monious relations, aobtlltjr of design and
monumental character will be worth
going tar to see.
The natural bent ot sightly Cali
fornia' aspiration Is along tb line
of attracting pleasure-seeker and
thl spirit crops out In San Fran
cisco' splendid scheme of cine im
provement but not to Its disparage
ment If such a plan it perfected
by the city at tbe Golden Gat It will
become tbe source ot pride and in
spiration to every city on the conti
nent Many American cltle ar
now agitating or striving at similar
plans, tome limiting' tb height of
business blocks, but none It quit as
ambitious as San Francisco.
Why should we not build aa artis
tically at we build much? If w
did what a model of aymmetry onr
land would be. And It would show
in the life of the people. But some
cities ar woefully behind In thlt di
rection; they do not even keep their
streets clcsn and tbelr vacant -lots
from looking hideous, much leas
erect their buildings with say eye to
architectural system and order. I
It Is possible to shame them Into bet
ter effort, then by all mean let San
Franciaco hasten with Its plana.
Federal Aid for Farm Training.
The bill Introduced by Senator
Pag of Vermont appropriating f 18,
000,000 annually tor division among
tbe states for vocational training
school, with special emphasis apon
agriculture, is worthy ot careful con
sideration, Irrespective whether It I
exactly the measure tbat should be
enacted Into law.
Vocational training Is gaining in
public favor, but bow far the federal
government should go In promoting
it within tbe state 1 a question that
has not received general consi3era
tion. There Is this to be said In
favor of tb bill at once, that In en
couraging scientific preparation la
agriculture It Is turning the minds ot
jousg men into the very channel that
needs them most. Ttis country
with all It prodigious Industrie. I
till essentially an agricultural coun
try, destined to even greater su
premacy in tbat line than it has yet
achieved, for the patent reason tbat
it baa a very considerable portion of
its most fertile soil yet to develop.
And It doe not require the effort to
attract young men to tbe trades that
it doe for tbe farm.
What agencies have been set to
work In the effort to lure young mea
to the farm have failed of satisfac
tory results. It will be worth while
looking Into the possible Influence
ot this measure. Tb Department of
Agriculture Is already promoting ed
ucation somewhat la different states,
though not upon any comprehensive
basis, yet enough, probably, to war
rant the venture. Ot course, the
Page bill contemplates training In
other vexations besides farming, la
the trades and art most needed by
tbe manhood and womanhood of tbls
country. It Is bound to focus atten
tion on thl very Important subject
Another Feminine Reform, -Womea

And they died ia their boots If they
