The responsibility of Omaha voters in the Impending municipal election Is even greater thaa waa that la the primary, for the first beat la tha commission plsn of city government contest it devolved upon them as a duty to reduce the entry list from elghty-sli to. fourteen. For this sec ond end lsat heat it remalna to pick the seven winners who shall take charge of our city affairs for tha next three years. For the electron as for the prlmsry, tha sew machinery or the ballot Is specially designed to make the popular choice really responsive to tha will of the majority. Nothing baa been omitted to force selection oa merit and Individual Judgment Aa la the primary, the ballot which will be handed to the voters will contsln nothing whatever but the namea of the candidates. More than that, the namea will be rotated ao that no candidate will have advantage over another by reason or being st the top more often then bis competitor, the purpose being to equalize the acci dental or Indifferent vote. The ab sence of , party labels pr other designation la auppoaed, to obliterate the last vestige of partisanship and to force voting for the men rather than for their politics. The candi dates have been for weeka vigorously and vociferously presenting their claims to the public. It Is ap to the voters to do the reat. Good Ken for Commiitioner. Another good man for commis sioner to whom Tha Bee hss already called attention and whom It wishes sgaln to commend Is Joseph B. Hum- met, who woa his nomination ever many competitors without being ea any alate or combination. "Joe" Hummel Is a member of tha precast city council, In which he hss been active and energetic, and In addltioa his familiarity with municipal arfalrs aa a whole would give the city, through htm aa commissioner, the advantage of his special fits ess aad experience with street work, public Improvements and their maintenance. He would furthermore continue to be approachable and sympathetic to all clssses of people, rich and poor alike. having business with' the city In which be could nsslst them. A cross mark after the name of Hummel will be a vote for efficiency nnd economy and steady progress la conduct of our city government. Xoeiomy with Venpance. ' The house ef representatives, the majority, af whose members are democrats, la deeply Interested la economy and. retrenchment. The mem bare-sap ac Uismaervoa, antf be sides that, their works prove 1' Instance, some misguided congrese msn proposes to reduce the mileage of the members from It oeats to I cents. Dees ha sucteedT No, be does not succeed. He does not even get enough publicity out of it to make a good ahowiag la the columns of hie home paper.' Ha Is sat upon with such fierce alacrity that ha cemea out of the affair almply glad to have his seat left. This Impertinent member Is told that even 10 cents per mile per mem ber is nowhere near enough to trans port the member aad bla household to and fro between his home, Wash ington and ether points be may with to vlilt and I cents would be an In sult to the official dignity of a states Kan. Whereupon nothing more la heard of this foolish member. He has act even via eaengh left to protest when these same economic statesmen put through a plan to hew dowa the salaries of clerks sad minor employes lli.eo a year,' u Thus la one stroke hard-working sad patient sutesraea are saved their 10 cents mileage and the gov ern meat Is saved im.tOO clerk hire. But la It? No, much of that money goes to hire ether help for these over burdened congressmen. Oh, It Is economy with a vengeance that is be ing practiced by the democratic house majority to be used aa aaa of the slogsns In the campaign this fall. It la oaly fair that from time to time public-attention be directed to what Is going on. Trench Zitinuta of American.. A delegation of distinguished Frenchmen recently made an orriclal visit t this country, and after at tending several functions ra New York. Boston and Washington, pre senting aa opportunity to see aad stady Amerteaas, declared themselves to have been most Impressed by the dignity, power and ligbt-heartedness of the Americas. That la a tribute worth while. Dignity, power aad light-hearted nana make a very strong combination for character building, of course, we also have the other elements needed. The material greats eea of our coun try. Its Institutions, Its conceptions. mast Impress the Euro peas with the one Idea of power and no such power Is possible without dignity; la fact. It la iacUatve of dignity. Bat yet we de net take earselvea, equipped with all this power and dignity, too serl- oasty, a mighty good thlag. This must be trot, or the French critics woald as have said aa. -' . There is only one thing that sug gests that ear friends might have been sea king to please, aad that Is they add that they have been so im pressed with the "dignity and order' of our politics. The French are noted for their good manners snd they csn he specially gracloui among strangers when they try. A Useful Labor Bureau. The New Tork state labor depart ment seems to have proved already the value of Its new bureau of In dustries and immigration. Its annual report abowa excellent results accom plished, Indicating what is possible with experience and development nnd formatting an object lesson for other states without such bureaus. ' By articulating the work or this state bureau with that of the federal government under the Department of Commerce and Labor and working In conjunction nnd co-operation with the various foreign conauls. It becomes possible to ddan immense amount of good for the aliens coming over here In search of new homes. The report of the New York bureau aaya it haa In this first year rendered Invaluable aid to these Europeans seeking em ployment and also protected them from imposition of all kinds. Of course, to get the .best results under such a system the co-opera tloa and confidence or the local foreign con suls or agents are aeeeaaary aad at first New Tork did not have these. The foreign agents looked with mis giving upon the scheme, doubtless fearing . some tresspass upon their official province, but rinding tbey were entirely mistaken In this ss- aumptlon, they turned In with a will ing hand to do what tbey could. While ail over the country we are concerned with (he matter or aiding the Immigrant to get advantageously located for that helpa us as well as the alien we may well give con sideration to this plan, which la not offered here aa entirely ualque, but quite successful. Conventional Endorsement. The Methodist blabops in their annual report to the general confer ence "endorse" President Tart for his attempts to promote International peace aad denounce him aa having "forfeited all claims to the franchises of Christian aad sober manhood of the nation" because at hla request one of his cabinet officers delivered an address or welcome to an Inter national' convention of brewers held In Washington. Moat people will, we believe, ed it that the president's powerful In fluence In behalf of world peace Is of far greater Importance to the Christian manhood or this country and the world than the negative Inci dent for which he la so emphatically eosdemned. .If. however he haa tor- .aii. etaime l ae the Christian and -sober manhood of his country why bother about endorsing him at all? It seems to us our good Metho dist friends nre strikingly Inconsist ent In this. It Is extremely doubtful If any president of the United Btatea would have answered the appeals to him to forbid his cabinet officer at tending a convention representing a business which all governmanta have legalised and made legitimate any differently thaa did President Tatt. We need not now enter Into dis cussion of the liquor question, but It might be worth while to say that endorsements or this character, tor aad against, are apt to become too conventional for very much real ef fect. Somebody had to make aa ad dress of welcome, It seemed, to the brewers gathered from all over the world, so why not have as good and stannch a churchmaa as Becretary Wilson, who might find an oppor tunity on such aa occasion for exer- eislng a helpful Influence? According to the Lincoln Journal the constitution of Nebraska may now by reason of counting straight party tickets be amended with the greatest e, ao far as ratification by popular amaadmentav Yes, hut thst safeguard remains In requiring a three-fifths majority or the legislature to propose amendments, et, but tbst safeguard will be removed by the Initiative. which will permit the proposal of ameadmeata by petition without going to the legislature at all. In appealing for votea one or the reform candidates for the council andcr the commission plaa of city government promisee to conduct all the public titsineae "la the opea," Te whom la he alluding? Surely aot to enr water board, because It Is trying to dispose of the I7,000,l) bond Issue la the dark, wltbont even asking for bids. Both candidates aad campaign managers have a most fantastic no tion of their rights to free newspaper apace.

The combataats are quite willing u hire hails, reat autoa aad pay tor sraas beads, hat they waat the newspapers to serve aa a free carryall. - Speaker Champ Clark la aow the strongest candidate la the field for president and the .beat qualified.

To the Editor of the Bee: There are some young me Omaha who seem to think that the tarma "man" and sport" are aynonymoua. Don't confuse them. "Sports" come in several varieties and styles. There Is only one kind of "man." , There era "tin horn sports, "cheap sports" and "pick' led apona." The distinguishing mark of tka species Is their disrespect for woman hood. "Tto horn" sports are much given to tha habit of wearing loud clothes, spend Ing someone else s money when they can get It sod extolling their own great courage aad prowess. .They are gener ally afraid of mice and men. "Cheap sports" genera I ty Inhabit the street cur nets, being found in large sum hers near the doors of department at ores and la the vicinity of Sixteenth and Far- nam streets. -Their chief occupation la smoking cigarettes sad rattling keye. Tbey ere termed cheap, because they often attempt to me he advances to ether men's wtvea, and because' they cannot afford te sutisoit wives et their own. Tbey may he dlstlngutehed In street cars because their etiquette Is so different from what R Is In the home or In polite eeetety. Their trousers seem to be glued to the seata. Maybe the trousers are cheap, loo. Thaa the lest variety, "pickled aporta" earn to he e porta ef periodical tendencies. When sober, tbey ere often found to be substantial, trusted dtisens. They gener ally eoaarregata la groups and sometimes la swarma, before they exhibit all the aathoioatcal sytnptowts. These are only some of the very apparent differences be tween a man aaa a sport, plainly stated, for the porpose et enabling the hoya of Omaha to dietlnarulah between the two. AN OMAHA MINISTER.

Who Is Mayor Dahiman. from the standpoint of a republican neighbor Without the albrhtest disparagement to the merits or worth of the other thirteen candidates for the comni'astns, I am going te tell -ran. On the night of July 17, last, when the republican state-wide primaries were opened oa Greevy's lawn. It waa this same Jim Dahiman that quietly came serosa the slreet and welcomed the su preme court Judges, the Judges of the district court and the esenty candidates into his home precinct A month later when the doings of thst eventful night the passage of the Sbotwell resolutions, brought from the president of the United Stales aa American flag to mark the spot where hie second term campslga took definite form, it .was this same Jim Dahlswui that caused te be emblesoned oa the welcome arch st the dty hall. "Tsft Flag. Welcome." It took s mighty big statesman snd patriot to do that It Is the Irony of fate that this Whits House flag, floating high In tha air at sunset, casts Its dancing shadows on Jim Dahi man' s cottage home. Jim Dshlmsn Is ons of ths -(try few democrats In the state of Nebraska that Is a national figure in hie party.
