For th Good lama of Omaha: For th good name of Omaha everything goea, including the lock ing of noma between th Citizena' anion and the mayor over tb ap pointment of tho Judge and clerks for the impending city election. In the primary th identical election of ficer were named and served with tb aaeent and approval of every one of th councilman who at tb bidding of the reformer now vote to reject. But what doe tbat matter? Com plete failure to let the mayor exer- cire hi right of appointment given by tb law migbt result In mob rule at the varlou polling place, but what of tbat, ao long a reform la the purpose? We only wonder whether a lingering notion pervade tbe recal citrant councilman, all of whom fell by tb wayside in tbe primary, that by some mischance th whole election might be Invalidated and they, them selves, thereby remain In office in definitely as holdovers all for the good name of Omaha. Good Ken for Commissioner. Another of the candidates before the primary commended by Tbe Bee a a good man for commissioner, who is on the ticket again for tbe elec tion, is John J. Ryder, and we are glad to repeat what we said about him as follows: Anothar food man. In our opinion, for councilman under Omaha's iyw commis sion plan of city government Is John J. Ryder. Ha has occupied positions of pub- lie triut-and always made ft creditable record In tha legislature of Minnesota batons coming to Nebraska, as labor commissioner under Governor Rhelrfon and as peasant member si the board of directors or tha Omaha public library. It la his newspaper experience, however, lhat has flvon Mm tha point of view of tha publla on subject which those charged with our city lovarnmant will have to deal. Ha Is a home owner and a taxpayer and yet has had to work tor wafs for his living, and thus kept In close touch with tbe great majority of tha community that rank aa tollers. His endorsement by the ClUsens' union, the only one oa Its llet to ba slaasad aa a wage worker. Is recognition of bis per sonal worth. , Tb fact tbat Mr. Ryder' nam ha been raad from tb Citizens' union list of favorite doe not In th least detract from bis eligibility and desirability a a publlo tenant.

Americans may change their view on other tradition; they nay van loosen (heir footing on tome of the fundamental, but they never yet hav deviated or digressed on lota from their adherence to thl tradition, which tb natron holda In sacred esteem it a shibboleth of lta ttrength and tafety. la th Ameri can conception of th Monroe doe- trine, It would be Incompatible for Japan or any other foreign natiop to acqulr a footing upon thia hemisphere.

Tbut It diplomacy made tasy and the possibility of International com' plication handily avoided by this peerless instrument, the Monroe doc. trine, to which reference baa but to be made to preclude all difficulty or controversy. ' Th Volatile Champ. On th face of return Champ Clark la th leading democratic pres idential candidate at preaent Tbat (Ignlfiea nothing conclusive, how vr. for Mr. Bryan may at th laat decide to brush aside all th ama teur In th race and hav himself nominated once more. But at present th dang-whanging politician from Missouri, aa the demorcatic New York World calla him, leads. Th World ays Clark's nomina tion would be political suicide for the democratic party. Aa a Joker, an old-fashioned spinner of funny yarns, as va a cunning district politician. Champ Clark la a man of part, but who would ever have thought of him and tbe greatest office in the world together Hie public career baa been marked by ao quality of distinction or greatness. He made a bid for fame some twenty years ago or lesa by denouncing G rover Cleve land, the biggeat man hi party has produced since the war, aa a counter part of Judas leceriot and Benedict Arnold, but he may not depend for uecee upon that kind of violence. Hla record shows a volatile, vaacll lating politician, aettlng hla aaila to catch the favorable wlnda of public sentiment Ob primal questions he haa never beea euro of hla footing. It mutt be because be baa ao real conviction on them. Only recently he shifted hi course three time on tbe qneetloa of the tariff board, eon damning It twice and staunchly com mitting himself to It once. Canadian reciprocity he once praised and yet raised the bogey -at annexation-to do- feat it. The greatest Influence Champ Clark ever wielded waa In this in stance, when, by fanning prejudices with this palpable delusion, he helped to defeat reciprocity In Can ada. Clark'a chief factotum In this cam paign la W. R. Hearst. While it may please republicans, we think the New York World is safe la predicting democratic defeat If Clark Is nominated. The Kassachuett! Mixnp. Tbe mixup produced la Mastacbu- tette by th victory of Tart In tbe presidential preference vote, along with the election of tbe Roosevelt delegates-at-large, may be an unex pected outcome, but It la In perfect consonance with the Idea of the direct primary, and should not and will not prevent the execution of tbe expressed will of tbe majority If tbe primary principle ie carried out The best way to try out a rule la to reverse It and suppose that Roosevelt had won In tht preference test, while' the Taft delegates had been elected. In that event the tuggeetion that tbe delegate should ignore tbe Instruc tion would be scouted by those who are looking for an excuae to do tbat very thing now to deprive Taft of tbe votes that by tbe rule of tbe game belong to him. In point of fact tho Massachu setts mixup is not unique nor Is even the proposed repudiation of the primary. Right here la Nebraska we had tbe ssro situation presented when Mr. Bryaa announced In ad vance that be would not abide by the preferential vote oa preeldont unless It went his wsy. Again Senator Hitchcock, although aa outspoken supporter of Harmon, ba been elected a delegate to tbe Baltimore convention ' under Instructions tor Champ Clark. Should the senator In timate that be waa none the less going to work and vote for Harmon la de fiance of the withe of th dem ocrat of tb date he will assume to represent, we would have a parallel with what I threatened In Massa chusetts. , Tbe presidential primary proceeds on the theory thtt to far a concern as naming of th atandard bearera, tbe convention delegate ar mere messenger to register th popular vote already recorded, and to carry out tbo mandate In spirit a wall a In letter, tbe delegate would be In honor bound to txert themselve by all proper meant to help tbe pre ferred candidate reaoh the goal. The peculiar development only empha sise! tbo fact that turning to tbe pri mary to avoid convention abuses bringa on other difficulties and evils unforeseen or unexpected.

Te the Editor of The Bee: In aa article la Th Bee of April X. concerning our refusal to take ftjuo.OOt City of Omaha bonda which were awarded to us. the statement was made that he bad given no reason to tha comptroller for our refusal, and that w had backed out of tbe bargain. These statements appear to Impute bad faith to us. and for that reason we have telegraphed you as follows: . The article In your issue of Friday last stating we tave no reason for refusing tana ssou.sin omane city bonda is incorrect and unjustly reflects on us Our letters and telegrams to the city comptroller April St and contain suf ficient and van reasons, whicn in jna- ice to ua an the public you should pub lish, that the real facta may be known. The let tare referred to clearly set forth our reasons for refusing 10 lake the bonda but the city comptroller haa not yet vouchsafed a reply, which Indicate that h finds them unanswerable. On th basla of the preeentattona orig inally made to us. ths bonds were fully worth what we bid for them, but upon the basis of th actual condition subse quently made known lo us. they are worth leas than th bid. Though declin ing the bonds at our bid. we offered to take ihem at a fair price baaed oa true statement of assessed valuation. All municipal securities are bid for by dealers with reference to the market for them, aad ws must rely upon the official statements furnished us showing assessed valuation, debt and population. Tha city officials are presumed to know these facts and if they make a material mis statement, which affects ths value of the bonds according to the market for them. tbe responsibility la on the city, and not on the buyer. It le not a question of the goodness of ths bonds, for no ens will question Omehes solvency, but the bouds are worth ona price when the Indebtedness does not exceed i per cent of Ih as sessed valuation, and a considerably lower price when the dsbt la about per cent of the assessed valuation. Had we sold ths bonds to ssvlnge banks and other Investors, representing, as tha city comptroller represented to us, thst ths assessed valuation was rtM.WV WS when In fact It waa PI, 771, MO. the purchasers oould compel us to tske them back, ss hss recently occurred with other dealers in Omaha bonds, and It might bs a serious question whether celling securt- under such flagrant misrepresenta tion would not subject the seller to prose cutlon for obtaining money under falsa pretenses. We are not In tbat line of business. Ws regret tbe Incident, but the blame must be placed where -it belongs, and not upon us. C. H. VENNER OO. Pats la a Pretest. , OMAHA.

Surely the spirit of commercialism haa permeated almoat every channel ef American life without being allowed te bedim the holy sanctity of "Mothers Dsy." It must have been a divine Inspiration which prompted the idea of aettlng apart ona day in each year to tbe memory of man's beat friend, bis mother, and tha present schema of levying a "holdup" hss not svtn ths ex ouse of ehsrity to recommend It, there. fore It behooves ths men of Omaha to bold aloft from patronising or encourag ing the venture, and thus nip In ths bud and squelch, once for all. such a shameful proposition of a grand and holy Idea.

The lightning baa been harnessed so that words ar flashed over the earth and under the sea, some of them without the aid of wires. Msn soar In ths sir like birds, and science has led onward and upward, even to the border land of the beyond, almost to the parting of the veil. This Is a wonderful country of ours. Especially it It true of ths west, where corn is king sad alfalfa queen. One need hark hack but a few years when Its only Inhabitant was tha Indian, tha first American. The only signs of habitation his tepee. Beside the purling brook or larger stream it stood. This son of nature, with uncovered bead. a feather stuck In the raven-black hair and wrapped in bis blanket, gased out with eye undimmed as that of the eagle, lord of all he surveyed. The vast prairies abounded with buffalo; the chase of them afforded htm sport during the sum mer and provided him with meat for tbe Inter. The Creator of all aaid, "In the west of thy face ahalt thou eat bread. ' The Indian did not till the soil; he knew little. If anything, of lta poasllflllUes in that direction. His daily wants wen supplied end ended with the necessaries of life. He wss, no doubt, both satisfied and happy with his Ufa and environ ments. Then the whits man cane, and the Indian "sold his birthright for a mess of pottage la tha form of a string of beads. At first bs wss attracted; then osme ths desire for possession. He reached aad took the gaudy bauble. which wss ths first step toward ths loss of his possessions and hla own extinction. Bo it has beea sines the Spaniards first set foot on this continent. Tbe Indian and the buffalo bavj, in the generai sense of the term, passed from the scene of action, and the passing Is pathetic re garding both. The one has been shame fully wronged, tbe other ruthlessly and needlessly annihilated. Cnder It all lies the white man's greed for gold. Where the tepee once stood stately cities now occupy ths ground, and from hundreds of stacks of their large manufactories smoke belches forth. Where only the thunderous tread of the vast berda of buffalo was heard as they ewept over plains sad through valleys, now comes the shriek of the ponderous locomotive la Us swift onward flight, bearing Its load of human freight sad the earth trembles as it passes. Ths Indian bas gone; the modern whit msn occupies bis place and sits and counts his wealth and bugs his bags of gold. Can it be truly said of him that he la satisfied with bis surroundings and has gained happineea along with gold? His desire did not end with the necessaries of life. but ever led him on toward honor, fame or fortune. Te him all things, good or bad. were a means toward that end. Along the path ay of the majority of these men lies the wreck and ruin of many lives some little children. Thou sands of overworked and underpaid men. faded and wan fared mothers, uneducated and half-starved children have been their chief means by which the white man may ait tonight and hug his bags of gold. Wealth accumulated In this manner may gratify desire and afford the meana for luxuries, but it cannot give happiness What the outcome of man's ambition In this world will be, time end eternity alone may reveal. The Good Book teaches that we should wrong no man. It also tells of a certain rich man who heard tha words. "Thou iooI, thia night Shalt thy soul be required of thee.' W. O. TORREY.
