To aoake the wlndup of Nebraska's first presidential preference primary really memorable. Colonel Booeerelt la coming out for whirlwind tour of the auto in the Interest of his own campaign. It goes without saying that the former president, Irrespeo tlve of his present candidacy, will re ceive a hearty welcome, and will at tract expectant crowds who will listen and applaud. It Senator La Follette accomplished anything in hla recent visit to Nebraska, It waa by Insisting that the leadership of the Insurgent element belonged to him, and to no one else. Senator La Follette made charges and uttered criticisms against Colonel Roosevelt more sever than any that hare emanated from friends of Mr. TafL and the colonel's dis cussions In Nebraska of right should be devoted to answering Senator La Follette'a aspersions. . That Colonel Roosevelt Will stir things op while he la among ua will he conceded la ad' mare, and la the stirring the lines will be still more sharply drawn aa between the friends of all the various candidates whose namea appear on our primary ballot to benefit the city and all legitimate Interests. These are matters that re quire time, lust aa the matter of reg ulating the height of downtown buildings, but they should not be too long neglected. In PeaniylTaaia. ' , The outcome In Pennsylvania belle all the forecasts of all the poli tical weather propheta, the tueceea of the Roosevelt force In capturing the larger part of the delegation being greater even than their claims, and It bound to lend encouragement to the political enemies of the president who are trying to defeat hit renomi nation. The factional fight In Pennsylvania haa apparently been fierce, and aa In Illinois local issue revolving about tha ascendency of one set of boase aa against another have entered largely Into the result Four year ago President Tart , waa nominated without any support what ever from Pennsylvania, which waa presenting a candidate of Ita own. It will take more than the lose of Pennsylvania and Illinois to head off President Taft with the strong lead ha already haa. The democratic presidential candi date list haa dwindled dowa to Clark, Wilson, Harmon.''' Uaderwood, Dix. 0 ay nor, slaraliall, Hearst and Bryan. Hurrah for harmony! There are one or two places on the democratic state ticket Which are so cotOeeted presumably, places not valued by them eUghly enough to warrant competition. " Governor Harmon says It will not matter to him whether bis country ttecldea he shall serve It higher tip ar in the ranks. That le a nice way to look at If, anyway; - t The Water board law provides that it members shall, fill all vacancies, but It does not formally empower each outgoing member to name and commission ill successor. Another wonder of the world is how those two Platte county patriots, Edgar Howard sad Chris Omenther, can admire one another so raptor-, ouIy and disagree so violently. ' Sir.

Francisco de la Barra, who acted as provisional president of Mexico pending Madero'a election, haa re turned from Europe to hia own coun try only to receive a more emphatic ovation than that tendered him upon hia departure. Manifestly, he la a popular man and aa influential one with Mezico's soberer heads. Perhaps ho one la popular with its leas sober heads. It i gratifying to have the ex pression from de la Barra, himself, that he teaks no political power and will co-operate with President Madero ta any form of good government He a ttrong maa aad Mexico needs strong men today more, perhaps, than It ever needed them. Madero needs this help, which de la Barra proffers him. A incident of de la Barra's return waa the Issuance by s'uderts of a manifesto proposing a demonstration la hi honor, but here again la to be found ground for reassurance against friction, for the manifesto goea on to state that no opposition to the demoa- sration ta expected from the admin istration and that the government needs the help of all patriots and wlae men at thlt time. De la Barra has ihown himself to be both wise and patriotic, A leea resourceful man Is hla position as provisional president might have used the advantage he possessed to further bis own political possibilities and thereby precipitate a serious situa tion for hit country, De la Barra, if he had any, political , ambition, kept It entirely to himself and stood by his word to Madero, with whoee methods be was not In full accord. He haa been called the strong, big man of the day In Mexico, and he does a good deal to Justify tome tueh estimate. At least he bat proved too big for petty mistakes during a crisis Building laws. Most cltiee find much room for Improvement la their building I, and ordinances. Thlt U especially true ta thla day of beautifying mu nicipalities, for the symmetry of buildings, both private and public, has much to de with that It make or unmakes the respectable appear ance of a row of dwelling houses. cottages, flata or whatnot. It some are built flush with the front others Ua. twenty and thirty feet back. A lack of order destroys all possibility of taste and beauty and, of course, this In turn has Its effect upon values;. It It bound to. So that the matter It not entirely an esthetic one. But there is still another phase to be considered. Where building lines are utterly Ignored somebody Is sure to suffer. One structure stuck out beyond the tine of others Injures the value et the adjoining property. Now and then w find cases where this ta dons intentionally, where, for in stance, the owner of a lot Is suable to sell aad get hit price for It he putt up a cheap structure for revenge. It does teem aa though the law should afford some adequate protection against such impositions. Many cities have already provided against Just these eootlngenclet, hut other have not It may he argued that the man who owns the ground haa a right to build how aad what be pleases, hut the rights of hla neighbor are equally aa strong sad should be protected, especially whea that protection toads Oratory and Totes. If Governor Harmon wins out over Wilson snrf.Clatk for the democratic presidential nomination, it will not he upon hia relative powers of cam paign oratory. The governor make a very straight-forward, husinete-Uke address, but he haa neither the magnetism nor the voice that arouse and away large assemblage. H showed that In hia Omaha apeech. He faced an audience evidently for the moot part sympathetic, but before be concluded his remarks st least one 'bird of his audience had left the Auditorium nierelr-because they could not hear. But If thla were Governor Har mon's only obstacle, he still might win out at Baltimore, for Mr. Bryan, who hat electrified hundred! oi audiences in a single campaign, haa found and admitted that men do not always vote aa they cheer. The psychology of the crowd la not one of the exact sciences, anyway. There ar easier method by which to de termine the relative chances of these democratic candidates than by the volume of applause they evoke from a house full or nair-fuu of people. And that la allowing for the average American's susceptibility to the charma of the artful orator, such as Mr. Bryaa snd Governor Wilson, who Is surprising hit political opponents by his remarkable versatility span the stump as well as in the shifting scenery of hla political predellctiont. National Board of Trade. Business men. and trade organisa tions over the country ar taking kindly to the president's proposal for a national board of trad that ahall advise congress and the executive regarding the country's business in terests, both st horns and sbroad. The New Tork Board of Trade has evinced a very active concern and proposed several detalla which seem ta Improve the original suggeetloa. It would make membership In the na tional hoard representative oa an In dividual basis rather than organisa tion, on the theory that many of the smaller associations over the country are designed especially for local pro motion and could not conveniently, take part la a truly national move ment, though their Individual mem bers might This Is a mere detail that can be adjusted and probably will b at the first session April 11, when repreeent ativ business men will get together to map out what can he done.' The main thing la thla: .

Only his expert- one aa a judge on the bench has en abled him to weather it. Hla Judicial service taught him when hi decisions were attacked to look to history rather than to passing public opinion for Just appreciation of their merits. This has lad him at times into one of the most serloo mistake ef hla administra tion, that of paying too little attention to public opinion, not because of any real indifference to what people think, but through a conviction that in many Instanc criticism has bean based on misunderstanding both of tha purpose and effect of what be ha been trying to ac complish.

Fre quently during hi campaign Mr. Taft waa charged with being a carbon copy of hla predecessor, of being a man with OUT a mind of hla own, whose only en deavor, if elected, would be to give the country a weak Imitation of the Roosevelt regime. Evan by tha progressives he was mora than once urged to abandon hi praise of Roosevelt la hla speeches and show wherein he differed from his prsdaeassor in methods, while in hearty accord with the principle. To all such entreaties Mr. Taft turned a deaf ear on the ground that any such attempt on his part would be misinterpreted. He was content to let th people find out tor tbemsalv that while he heartily be lieved la the progressiva pollcie which be aa a part of Mr. Roosevelt' cabinet had helped to frame, he must necessarily resort to different methods In carrying them forward and ellnehtng them by ob taining the enactment of legislation with out which the Roosevelt standards could aot b maintained. When h cam to make up his cabinet ha fen the need of selecting as his auxil iaries and advisors men in sympathy with the methods which he Intended to employ, and he also felt that if he were to accomplish ths results to which he and hi party were pledged he must have free hand in the selection of his ad visors. Furthermor, to hav retained th Roeevelt cabinet Intact would have confirmed the charge that hs was to be a mere Imitator of hla predecessor. The tact that his selection wore not in every respect the moat fortunate doe not altar tha wladom of hla determination to axer else his unquestioned rights snd select bis owa official family. A cabinet officer under the Taft administration haa bean intrusted with far more responsibility snd authority than moat of them enjoyed under President Roosevelt Mr, Tsft has not felt blmaeif fitted to supsrviss ths various details of th executive depart ments ta the way Mr. Roosevelt did, tor ths reason that hs possesses neither the .tlllty of interest nor ths aptitude for qusllfylng as an expert In gunnery or bi ology or simplified spelling, or ths thou sand and on things that Mr. Roosevelt thoroughly enjoyed, personally directed snd m most Instance with great success.

At a tlm whan the cost of living Is a problem that confront all parts of this country and is today a world problem. It Is to ths credit of th Taft adminlatration that economy in government has been one of Its watchwords. That a substsa Hal beginning has been made toward more economical administration of ths Batten's affairs is evident from th fact that at the beginning of the first fiscal year after he wss Inaugurated the coun try was facing a national deficit of 8V 0OS.0OS. A year later this had beat changed to a surplus of t47.O0O,0PC In every department under th direction of th president th estimate were acaled down, having been cut last year aome J6e.09S.0O0. Conspicuous in the economy record of th administration has been th wiping out of a rtl.tnaM deficit In tha Postoffice department. Bntil thl department has not only become sustaining bat gives promts very soon of actually becoming one of the permanent revenue-producing departmenta of the government, and thl and every other economy has been ac complished no by curtailing but by ex tending the service by th Introduction of business methods, by a conservation of time, of labor aad of goverament money, an example that If emulated la th coun try at large, would go far in the minds of aome of th most thorough students of this great problem of the cost of Br ing toward Its solution. Bo In th Treas ury, in th Kavy.

Already the econ omy ee mm tea! oa hr made recoamenda ttous which if adoyted will result In sav ing further ml Won to th government. At a tun whea the opposition lo air. Tsft ta much disturbed ever the alleged misuse of th federal patron age. It Is well to recall that the president la the first chief executive to recommend the exten- of th civil service to Include all postmasters, collectors ef tatarnal rev enue, imr-h1-. commissioners of inurd- gratlon, and that congress Is alone re sponsible for the failure thus fir to ac complish this reform.
