When it came to disposing of $7,000,000 of water bonds, however, by secret sale to favored brokers no competition was wanted..'" In acquiring the water plant, by compulsory purchase, , the city of Omaha is supposed to have succeeded to ail the rights and franchises of the water company ln South Omaha, Florence, East , Omaha and else where. If so, did the city also take a all the company's obligations and mponsibilities? Here Is another nut for our water commissioner to crack. , r , The Scat of the Trouble. The seat of the trouble confront ing us In Nebraska, with republican and democrats somersaulting from one party to another to follow their preferred presidential candidates, is in the half-baked primary law put Over on us by our last legislature. This amended primary law moved up our primary in presidential years from August to April without at the same time moving up the July lat form convention which in other years precedes the nominations. Had this ' law done one of two things had It either moved up the platform convention along with the primary or had it left the August primary for state and local offices where it was and provided an April primary merely for national conven tion preliminaries the , pathway would have been much clearer. Under the first contingency the platform would have been "promul gated, and the party organization constituted in advance of the presi dential nominations, and predicated upon undivided support of the na tional ticket Under the second, only those who wanted to affiliate with the repub lican party, or the democratic party, or the populist party, under the leadership of their national standard bearers, would be filing for places on the respective tickets and partici pating in their party primaries. As It is, the bungle of . the law makers has produced a situation for us akin to a Chinese puzzle. An American Canal. Secretary Hay and President Taft have emphasized the point, that' the Panama is to be distinctly an Ameri can canal, built on . American terri tory by American capital and primar ily for American aggrandizement, though secondarily, for , world com merce. . ,' A former chief engineer of ; the canal, John F. Wallace, once told of an Englishman In London remarking to him that the Britons appreciated what the Americans were doing ln "building the Panama for England's benefit" This is very significant now that Great Britain has demurred to the proposal in congress to ex clude from the canal all railroad owned vessels doing a coastwise trade. It was apparent at first that such an embargo would shut out Canadian ships. It remains to.be seen, however, whether, as our statesmen have held, the Hay- Pauncefote treaty does not give us this right One thing is certain, Americans will not be fully content with iho canal unless it serves, in some ad vantageous way, to encourage Amer ican commerce in American built and American owned vessels. The Arohbald Case. The house of representatives has merely adopted the thirteen articles of Impeachment against Judge Arch tald; it remains for the senate to try and determine the case, since It ts the only authority under the con stitution having such power. The house Indicts, it does not convict in Impeachments, its function is that of a grand jury, which returns in dictments on probable cause and the function of the senate would com pare with that of the jury which llxes the verdict In the case against Judge Archbald of the defunct court of commerce the Indictment Is apparently strong, at least. It Is strongly worded. It would seem amazing for a man of his long years of experience to fall Into such culpability as the thirteen counts in the bill indicate. But Judgment must be suspended until the senate has concluded its findings. In the house the accused Is not called upon to. disprove the charges, for the slm pie reason that he is not on trial there. The house seeks only to es tablish a prima facie case, while in the senate the defendant will have the full rights of an accused person not to be adjudged " guilty until proved so beyond reasonable doubt. This is , only the ninth Impeach ment of a judicial or civil officer In the history - of the federal govern ment, the .last one being the im peachment trial of Judge Charles S. Swayne of the northern Florida dis trict acquitted February 7,f 1905. - - Those Petulant Congressmen. The prolonged session and the hot weather together must be getting on the ' nerves of , our . esteemed states men at Washington. Congress should adjourn, if for no other reason, out of deference to the . amicable rela tions of its members., Two members from Connecticut,- weary, no doubt, by' the 16ng and arduous sitting and irritated by the hot temperature, fall to exchanging the short and ugly word, while two Illinois members get into a similar argument in which personal Veracity becomes an. issue., and, reports say, a physical encoun ter is narrowly averted. Obviously, it is time to quit. The Congressional Record seems to show no reason for continuing the session, anyway. It is too late now to attend to the most important business tnat should have been transacted by this congress,' and the country is too deeply engrossed In Its base ball and fishing to have its attention diverted by such trivial ities as squabbles on the floor of the bouse. Orotco Is visiting his father ln Juaret. About time for the prodigal to come home for the fatted calf. IN OTHER LANDS THAN OURS Pertinent Comment on Topics of Interest r - . Famine Relief la China. On the occasion of a musical fete in Shanghai last May for the benefit , of the famine relief fund the North China Dally News Issued a supplement, a copy of which reached the Bee office, de- scribing the work, of famine relief, the cause and means of prevention. The stricken district covers most of the pro- vlnce of Klangsu and parts of the pro- vlncea. of Shantung and Anhwel. Over 800,000 people were provided with food and medicine during last winter, and other thousands suffering from famine, fever and other ailments stalking on. the trail of poverty were given all attention pos- slble In hospital camps. Tet the ener- gles centered In the heroic work could not reach all the unfortunates.' Thou- sands perished of want, children were sold into bondage that others might Uve, lawlessness springing from the Inertia of revolution Increased the' distress, bery was common, and a horde of pro- fesslonal beggars infested cities and high- ways. Floods cause the recurring fam- ines. The great valleys of the Yellow and the Hwal rivers are covered with flood waters and cultivation nrevented three out of five yeara. Consequently poverty and distress Is the cronlc condl- tion of the people and outside relief Is looked for regularly. The problem of permanently removing the cause of flood disaster Is one of the most important pressing for solution on the new gov ernment For centuries back the flood waters of the Tellow river carry great quantities of alluvial deposits which l" raised its bed to the level of the banks' or levies built up and raised year after year, eventually overflowing human bar riers and reaching the sea by new chan nels. Hwal river and Its tributaries and Huntse lake, formerly a vast reservoir of flood waters, have been so filled with Tellow river mud that flood oversows are Increasingly frequent and the devas- Uted area constantly widens, The on y hop of permanent reUef according to the News, is the construction of a new channel for the Tellow river to the sea, a distance of eighty miles, and the dredg ing of the channel of Hwal river and the bed of Hunts lake. Engineers re port the project feasible.

Hlndn Widow. '"One a widow, always a widow" has heretofore been an lnvollable nil In th higher castes ot th Hindus. Th disastrous effect of this social custom, with th accompanying evil of marriage of children, is reflected In an appalling census f Hindu widowhood ln the Am- erican Review of Reviews. Th writer, Basanta Koomar Roy, gives these fig- ures: There were in 190L 18,847 widow below. th age of 6; 96,798 between t and' 10; Z!b,m between 10 and 16; 522,867 be- tween U and 20; 838,728 between 20 and 25; 1,432,808 between 28 and 30; 1,267,381 be- tween SO and 26; 2,068,491 between 35 and 40; 8,770,495 between 40 and 45; 2,264,038 between 45 and 50; 4,112,878 between 60 and 65; 1,621,210 between 56 and 60 and 6,596,939 of 60 and over.

The principle of manhood suffrage about to be Inaugurated in Italy Is ex- pected to double If not triple the voting population. Hitherto the franohise was limited to cltisena who could read and write and who had certain other quallfi- cations. Ten years ago the total number of male inhabitants In the kingdom more than a year old was 8,711,642. Of these on' 2 P" cent, or less than 9,000,000, were qualified to vote, leaving more than 5,700,000 disfranchised. The population of Italv h" increased several millions since thn d th percentage of Illiteracy Is teadliy decreasing, or males over rob-"1"8 o age in 1862 no fewer than 5.5 Per cent were Illiterate. In the next ten Percentage was reduced to .. nd ln th nxt ten t0 aj- ne" nineteen years, down to 1901. re- aucd 11 t0 nd at 0,6 present time it Perhaps ess than .

But noth- lRg ot it becatiM the political power 0f th interest involved renders legislative . action abortive. Th French senate, how ever, has given tentative approval of a bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale ot absinth. V Another Two-Power Navy Another two-power-standard navy Is to come into being. The concentration of the British fleet in horn waters, which maneuver Includes the withdrawal of the British Mediterranean squadron from Malta to Gibraltar, rives the French naVal authorities much concern. The par- .mountev of France m the midland sea mU8t be preserved, and accordingly It Is proposed to maintain at Toulon, ln south- em France,, and at Blierta, In Tunis, a force of armed, vessels that shall be at all times superior to that of the combined Italian and Austrian fleets. The concen tratlon of the French navy in th Med! terranean is greatly facilitated by the entente with Great Britain,1 which makes the reduction of French naval power In northern waters entirely feasible.
