Need of a Building line.
Omaha needs an ordinance or
charter for defining a bullying line
along its residential streets, beyond
which no one may protrude a struc
ture so as tp destroy symmetry and
perspective. The need has been em
phasized by experience In many
neighborhoods, where the general in
terest has been sacrificed to the
spleen or avarice of an individual. -
Here, for instance, is! a narrow lot
between two houses and tbe owner
of the lot wishes to sell, but at such
an excessive figure as to prohibit his
neighbors from buying. '. The lot
owner, then, in a grouch at not get
ting tbe price demanded, erects a
cheap structure, perhaps Jutting it
out so far, in front of the two dwel
ings on the sides as seriously to de
preciate their values and boasts he
has done only what he has a right;
to do.
The city should be able by law tc
regulate the building line. Posses
sion of a vacant lot should give the
owner no right to build how and
what he pleases, regardless of the:
rights and interests of his neighbors.

Mairhiag Shoes.
The War department , has under con
sideration the report of the army board
which went thoroughly Into the question
of a new type ot army shoe. The in
vestigation included the practical trial
of three different kinds of shoes, worn
by tbe enlisted men 'of the Seventh in
fantry at Fort Leavenworth. Each (lay
these men made a jnarch and on their re
turn to the post their feet were examined
and a careful record made of tho re
sults. One of the experimental types
was a marching shoe . which had been
recommended tentatively by the board
which previously Investigated this ub
Ject Tbe latest recommendations favor
the adoption of a tan shoe constructed
on one last and which shall take toe plaue
of .the present garrison, dress and march
ing shoes, thus avoiding the carrying (n
stock of three different types with two
different lasts, to say nothing of the
gymnasium shoe which, of course, will
still serve Its special purpose: The mili
tary authorities recognize the wisdom of
this recommendation, which confines the
army shoe to one style. 'At will simplify
the purchase, storage and issue of shoe.

Women at the Bar. ' '
Two sisters have Just been ad

Many women have entered this over
crowded . man's profession several
right here in Nebraska. Where they
have devoted themselves earnestly to
their work, women lawyers' , have
generally met .with sterner rivals
with fair success. Where they have
failed it has been due largely to lack
of concentration and persistence. '
Woman has proved herself versa
tile enough to insinuate herself into
most of the masculine fields ot serv
vice, why not the law? . In some
respects she is peculiarly fitted for
successful work at the bar. Think
ot her powers of persuasion' before a
jury of men. What twelve mortals

magic and charm upon them? - Think

The members of the house committee
en War department expenditures, which
formerly conducted a lively investigation
of the relations of Major B.. B. Ray of
the ' pay department of the army, . and
the military authorities and the president,,
are considering the continuation of their
labors on that subject. - It was appre
ciated by those who have followed .the
case .that the committee .abruptly, termi
nated Its Investigation at a time when
the disclosures promised to be of political
value. Inasmuch as it threatened, to show
the pari taken by Major Ray. In former
presidential campaigns and especially jn
that of 1908. At all events, It is con
sidered essential -to make a report of th
results of the Investigation which has
hitherto taken place. So far as the mili
tary interest Is concerned, the Investiga
tion has accomplished its purpose of
showing that Major Ray was the object
of unusual favor In the matter of pro
tracted leaves of absence. Whatever else
Is revealed ' will probably be of purely
political or campaign value. In the mean
time Major Ray, who was eligible to pro
motion to the grade of lieutenant colonel
last February, has not been' nominated
to the higher grade and continues as tn
senior officer In the list of majors of
the pay department. "It remains to be
seen Just what will be done by the com
mittee and whether it will content Itself
with a report before adjournment or make
some further Inquiries before subm'.lng
Its conclusions. '
New General Officers. ...
The senate this week confirmed the
nomination of Colonel Qeorge F. Chasa
of the cavalry arm to be a brigadier
general. This la the only action taken on
the list ot nominations made ' several
weeks ago to fill existing vacancies
among general officers of the army and
was due to the tact that General Chas
will be retired by operation of . law on
July 28. As has been stated in .these
oolumnl, Senator Brlstow of Kansas was
opposed to the confirmation ot General
Chase and of Colonel E. J. MoClernand,
also nominated to be a brigadier gen
ral. because the former was due for re
tirement this month and the latter will
be retired; on December 29; but In. ecu
lidfration of jhe: splendid record of both
Pt9prs,; Mr Brlstow. contented himself
y4tN expressing bis views concerning the
Appointment as brigadier general of army
officers who are about to be retired.
It Is understood he did not vote either
In committee or In the executive session
of the senate when General Chase's name
oame up tor consideration. The nomt-
A Mechanical Love Tetter,
Some ingenious ' person has in
vented what he calls a love tester, in
the form of a little bracelet that fits
simply over the wrist with attach
ments for keeping tab on the wear
er's heart, beats -through the pulse.
Should a fair damsel enfolded in a
pair of strong arms, mayhap, ;,be
kissed1 upon the cheek, what "ordi
narily is, calculated to make a maiden
blush or flush would be promptly
and - accurately registered "fourths
dial. - " ' '. - "
The little erometerr ao-called
from Eros, the god of ' love is
supposed' by the aid of a delicate
needle; so to reflect the action of
the 'heart as to tell-whether this
flush, is a false or true emotion.
whether it is deep, genuine "love or
merely the outburst ot momentary
excitement If it is . love, why, of
course.: all is well. Cupid is en
couraged and perhaps blissful matri
mopy 'follo'wa.' If it is not love
Cupid Is warned and 'two souls are
saved from domestic infelicity.
It goes without saying that a sue
eessful mechanical love-tester .would
solve tbe . divorce problem. ' Proven
tion being better than cure, .here is
the forerunner and forestaller of all
heart disease. Price lists,, we sup
pose, will soon be out There is no
reason why, in - the r interest

might not be attached also, to make
the chronicle explicit' and .definite,

Mllltla Maneuver" Funds.
Despite the fact that there was con
siderable delay in rendering available
the funds for. the Joint maneuvers of the
army and mllltla this year, the money
was placed at the disposition of the au
thorities so as to interfere In no way
with the ; movements; - of the '. various
commands &r the work which was con
nected wjth' the tfttrafer fot troops. The
money "was Wt "appropriated until July'
8, although tfoiigree started" 'to do some
thing In the mafter on the first Instant
After '""thY appropriation was made by
the house there was defay 1ft the sena
torial Ypprovai; "and it "Was a.iso found
that a' mfstoke' had ' been' niade'in the
enacting clause. The correction of this
caused some confusion.. Then, after the
War department had" started to Issue
iequ: tlons for th'el'.disbu.rsentent au
thorities in the Treasury'department gave
a hew designation 'to ' the,' appropriation,
which is to' Jse" hereafter known as the
aDDronrlation '.' for "encampment' and
maneuvers, 'organUed mflltli, of July I
1312." Formerly this appropriation was
designated by the years In which it was
lo be used.,, the present appropriation
being placed to coyer the fiscal years of
1913 and 1911. It Is presumed that mere
will be no interference "with this dis
bursement on account of the new des
ignation, . and "it was necessary to do
sqme quick work In changing the reaui
sltlons to conform with, the comptrol
ler's decision., The appropriation for' the
mllltla maneuvers, " amounting to t!350,
000 this year; will not be included in the
army appropriation bill, of course, when
It 1, reported from the senate " military
committee. It was In the bill as ' it
passed the house,, but-will be taken out
of the measure In conference.
Enlistment Trma.
A striking difference of policy Is ob
serable. la the matter of terms of enlist
ment In the army and navy. The presi
dent has vetoed the army appropriation
bill for several reasons, one being that he
was opposed to an Increase in the term
of enlistment in the military service. He
has evidently indorsed the war depart
ment polfcy" In favor of a short a term
as possible In order to establish a msans
f armnlzln a reserve force. It Is the
Intention of the military 'authorities, ae
cording to the statement made to con-a-ress.
to discourage re-enlistment On the
other hand, the Navy department is
making every effort possible to Induce
enlisted men to remain in the navy ror
neriodi beyond 'the four-year term or en
Ilstment. and to that end there has been
incorporated In the naval appropriation
bill a clause providing ror extenuon
of the term of enlistment for a period of
from one, two, three, or four full years
from the data of explrlatlon of the re
gular four-year term, such extension to
carry with It the same pay and allowances
In all respects as attaches to .re-en'
Ilstment. Other provisions are made re-
latins: to-the enlisted force, as outlined
In the summary of the, bill as It goes into

STANDS FOR SQUAEE DEAL
Pennsylvania Roosevelt Man Wfco Can See Straight.
. Brooklyn Eagle (Jnd. Dem.)
Commend us to . E. M. Rlne 'of
Boranton. Fa., as one Roosevelt man
who knows a square deal when He sees
It Mr. Rlne was a Roosevelt partisan
in the primary fight in rennsyjvaroa
and was chosen an elector at the pri
merles which Roosevelt carried before
the Chicago convention. ,
Consequently Mr. Rlne Is one ot toe
Republican electors who are expected to
turn the vote of Pennsylvania to Roose
velt If the Republicans carry that state
this fall. But Mr. Rlne has me own
ideas of the morality of being electee.
on a republican ticket and then voting
for a candidate who runs on anomer
ticket. He says:
I shall vote for William H. Taft ror
president If I am elected as presidential
elector. It wouldn't be fair for me to
allow my name to be used as an elector
for Roosevelt also, and I wont Im tor
Tafi. I was a Roosevelt man and If ne
had been nominates at .ureo
have voted for him. but Taft was nomi
nated and I shell vote for him If elected.
First of all I am a republican, - and I
shall support the nominee of the repub
lican national convention. .
There will be much more talk like
that before November If the wild Roose
velt scheme of stealing electors chosen
oh the republican ticket Is persisted In.
It la easy enough for the bosses to figure
such a plan out before the convention,
but they will have to depend upon the
electors to carry It through. The electors
are the men who are going to be fharf ed
with treachery If they carry out the plan,
and those charges will come . from out
raged associates in their own business
affairs, their, own clubs . and their
own churches. . Presidential electors are
usually men who ..respect their personal
obligations and who value their own
good names. Even if some of thera see
the thing as crookedly, as some of the
followers of Mr. Kooseveit nonesuy
It, they will be able to understand the
Impossibility of making that view ciear
the Taft men . who may vote for
them. . ...-. .o -. ,
There must be in every stats two
distinct tickets for presidential electors.
one to vote for Taft and one for Roose
velt. In no. other way can the honor of
the electors and the. honor of the Ameri'
can electorate be preserved. The plan
which Flinn and .Van . Valkenberg , ot
Pennsylvania still hold to of the putting
Roosevelt electors on the republican
ticket, so as to pull through their eon
aresslonal and assembly nominees. Is
fundamentally and. audaciously Immoral
The Roosevelt men who would like to
try the same thing In the state of Wash
IngtOn find themselves faced with a flat
prohibition In the state law. The plan
would probably have been forbidden else
where it the need of such prohibition
had been .Imagined, We know qf no state
law which spoclflcally forbids the steal
ing of ted-hot stoves. : . .:

FRIEND, Neh.; July 22,-To the Editor
of The Bee: In an editorial entitled the
'Norris Proposal" the State Journal com
mends Mr.. Norris for his courajre
and straightforwardness .in proposing to
resubmit his candidacy for the United
States senatorshlp to the republican
voters of Nebraska. ,
I am compelled to say that It does not
appear to roe as being a fair proposition.
Mr. .Norris obtained a place on the ticket
in the primary by virtue of .his profession
a republican, and as a republican he
received the nomination. He.. has. flow
announced that be has committed himself
to the support of a man who has re
pudiated the republican party and even
the name of republican, and who is de
voting his energy to disrupting and dls-
organlsaing .the republican; part?. ' This
Is also true as to at least some of the
presidential electors nominated on the re
publican ticket. , .:'-
As I understand the preposition made'
by Mr. Norris, he would subject the state
to the heavy burden of paying for an
other primary to determine whether or
not he- Is entitled to be honored by ap
pearing as a republican party . candidate,
when he himself hait declared that he Is
out of sympathy with such , party and
will do what he can to . defeat it Mr.
Norris well knows, or- should know, that
another primary lm impracticable and
cannot, well be arranged for at tfels time,
to say nothing about the Injustice of com
polling the taxpayers to bear the expense
of a second primary.
If Mr. Norris wishes to preserve his
reputation for fairness and courageous
action, It seems to me that the proper
thing for him to do Is to announce once
for all, as others have done, that he la
.through with the republican party and
win henceforth seek his fortune with the
so-alled progressive or by what other
name that they may choose to call them
selves. It he . should do . this he ,then

i convictions. At the present' time;; he.
while apparently repudiating repohllean
Ism, seeks the benefit of the party ap
pellation attached to his nam; in Uhe
present campaign--
TTWas wen known before tm primajry
that Mr.' Norris was opposed to President
Taft and his administration, but ha ho
publicly announced that In case Presiflent
Taft was renominated he- would lend his
aid and ' influence to defeat and WW
the republican party, he could not-have
been the nomine of the republican party
in Nebraska. This also applies to the
presidential electors. Any presidential
elector on the republloen ticket who 8e
lieves he has a.. moral right to cast his
electoral vote fo Roosevelt should he, be
come a member of . the electoral -college
should- immediately rid himself of, the
Idea. - Every candidate for presidential,
elector on the . republican ticket who ex
pects the, support of republican . .voters
should announce himself as beings unre-j
servedly In favor of the nominee :of. the
republican party and his determination
to cast hrs ballot as elector for William
H. Taft. :
