Two months gone since the Water board took possession and the big main still awaits the starting. Why this delay? 1 9. Mr. Hearst says If the others don't tell the whole story and the truth, he will. Just for fun, why not give him the floor first! Chicago wiseacres, having deter mined ; that a woman is no longer young at 25, will they please tell us when she Is getting old? ' v -v Mary Ellen Lease has come to the surface again, as a lady bull moose. This ought to aid in determining the destiny of the party. Considering the reputed eagerness of money to talk; that bankers' con vention wa decidedly tame and de void of oratorical fireworks. The "city beautiful" will never arrive until the bill board nuisance Is banished from the most con spicuous corners of our main thor oughfares. . Neither of the local yellow Jour nals seems to like the new police ap pointments, which ought, to com mend the selections made by the commissioner. i Nebraska bankers will be com mended for holding that If any de posits are' to be guaranteed, all should be. This determination is both logical and Just; "Silly and stingy" is the way Rep resentative Mann sums up the work of the democratic house during the long session, and Mann is an author ity on Its work, for he was there all the time. A preacher saya readers of the Outlook are in danger of "theologi cal meningitis, sociological neuritis, and political gastritis." Aside from that, Dr. Abbott's paper Is fairly readable at times. Maine Is getting the first big dose of campaign oratory. After the elec tion up there, the democrats and bull moosers may not be so sure of their combined ability to beat the republicans In the country. It looks as if our great bydraulio engineer water commissioner were up against something that makes it ne cessary for him to find a goat. This is The Bee's diagnosis of the water main tangle. ' "" ': If our Congressman Charles Otto does not hurry back, he will be too late to share the vegetables grown from the free government seeds he so generously sent on to us In the spring. Bors.li and the Bull Moose. None will accuse Senator William E. Borah of being a reactionary his fight for Roosevelt at Chicago was one of the features before and dur ing the convention, but when that convention bad acted, he recognized its legality and accepted the result His present attitude is therefore of interest. At Chicago on his way home from Washington, he gave an interview in which he declared him self for President Taft in the present campaign, saying: The progressive party offers me nothing new. I fought for the eight-hour law, direct election of senators and the chil dren's bureau In the senate, and we pro gressive republicans put It through. It seems to me that on those three Import ant planks the progressive party is put ting forth something rather blinding to the public. They are already laws. The rp ogresslve party leaders talk about eliminating bosses. That can't be done as long as the present system re mains, The progressive party will have Just as many bosses as any other party. Direct election makes It harder for the bosses, but it doesn't correct the evil. The puncturing of bull moose pre tensions by a man who is truly a progressive republican ought to open the eyes of some well meaning citi zens .misled by the clamor of self seeking politicians, who have pur posely muddlod the Issues. ooklnBaclsWanl ThisDav InOmali. COMPILED PROM BEE FILE-& AUGUST 20. -1 ' Chief of Police Dunn. The promotion of Captain Henry W. Dunn to succeed the late Chief of Police Donahue will, we believe, evoke the hearty approval of every law-abiding person In the commun ity except a few nursing grievances or with irons of their own in the fire. It is natural and proper In officering a metropolitan police de partment to recognize experience and faithful service of subordinates according to merit. Assuming that the head of a police force should have police training, the new chief is pre-eminently entitled to the po sition, which, of course, must be merely an opportunity to make good an opportunity we feel coa fldent he will measure up to. Light from the Inside. The Just printed report of the Ne braska state oil inspector seems to shed some inside light on the para doxical rise of Standard Oil stocks in spite of dissolution into con atifyient ' corporations. Remember ing that the Nebraska law makes no distinction between fuel and llluml natlng oils subject to Inspection, the comparative figures by years of the amount of oi! passed in this one state alone is significant: . Tear. Barrels. Increase. , 1906 222,713 ...... 1807....... .....202,495 89,783 1908. ....... .'...268,782 1,287" 1909 ....332.B45 68,763 1910,,... 412,753 89,207 ; J, , 1911... 601,261 ! i 88.499 ' In five years the consumption of oils in Nebraska has fully doubled, and the absolute Increase from' year to . year has grown larger. That this is due to the automobile, and the larger use of power machinery driven by oil engines Is self-evident, but nothing could testify more strikingly to the growth and pros perity of Nebraska and her people. The same influences and tendencies are probably at work in other states also, "but we doubt whether any of them can make a more graphic or creditable exhibit. Omaha has never doubted Lin coln's hospitality, nor the welcome that awaits there, so Mayor Arm strong's assurance comes only as a matter of form. The Invitation will be accepted by all Omahans in spirit and by many in letter. From the date of its first appear ance. The Bee has been steadfastly advocating the beautifying of Omaha, and much has been accomplished in 'this - direction while converting Omaha ; from a straggling ' and scrawny village Into a .bustling metropolitan city, yet there Is still much room for improvement. Let the good work go on. ; Economy and Public Service. About the cheapest bit of politics the democratic house was guilty of during its sitting of almost nine months was accomplished In the last moments of) the session. It was aimed at the Economy commission of President Taft, and while not de stroying the usefulness of that body, it aimed ' at undoing much of lti work, ' " In his message to congress when he first asked for money to defray the necessary expenses 6f a commis sion to Invetlgate 'and provide needed reform in the government's business methods, President Taft pointed out many opportunities for increasing efficiency and reducing cost by the abolition of duplication of work, and in other ways. Not a change was suggested but would have been quickly adopted by a business house as prudent and de sirable. In a special message to the congress last winter the president called attention to the reforms ac complished as a result of the Econ omy commission's inquiry, the money saved, and the betterment of the service achieved, and asked that the work be continued. He also sug gested that In the future the budget system for making ap the big ap propriation bills be adopted. These steps were in the interest of true economy. It is one of the best evidences of Mr. Taf t's thor oughness as an executive that he set them on foot, his purpose being to accomplish directly what the demo crats were bluffing at, economy in the administration of the govern It now turns out that the ap proprlatlon for the commission has been cut to a figure that may result In Its destruction, and that the bud' get plan is forbidden by law. The only reasonable conclusion is that the democrats In congress are not in favor of economy, unless it be of the cheese-paring variety they are so fond of practicing. Reasonable and progressive reforms In methods of transacting public business have no attractions for them; they are hope lessly joined to antiquated methods. Thirty Tears A At the council meeting Mayor Boyd recommended the granting .of a petition .of the electric lighting company.

JOKER IN DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM Conservation of Alaskan Mineral Lands on Looting Conditions. New York Financial World. ' The Financial World de.ires to call at tention to what appears to be a little "Joker" in the Baltimore platform, which if literally followed would result In un doing all the work that has been done tt conserve the resources of Alaska to all the people. ' On conservation the demo cratic platform adopted at Baltimore says: " "The coal and other natural resources of Alaska should be opened to develop ment also. They are owned by the peo ple of the United States and are safe from monopoly, waste or destruction, only l while so owned.- We demand that they shall neither be sold nor given away except under the homestead law, but while held in government ownership shall be opened to use promptly upon liberal terms requiring immediate development" The "Joker" lies in the sentence "we demand that they (the coal and other nat ural resources of Alaska) shall neither be sold nor given away except under the homestead law." It Is well known that the homestead law now gives complete ownership to 1(0 acres to any person who occupies the land for three years, out of which five months is deducted. Now if the rich coal lands of Alaska, are to be given away under the homestead law they most certainly cannot be "safe from monopoly." It would take leas than three years under the operations of tne demo cratic plan to transfer to a group of capi talists all the richest ctal lands of Alaska by the entry of the lands by their m ployes, who would become owners at the end of the period named in the law, and then would be free to transfer their hold ings to the men who employed them. Under the homestead law every acre of coal land now owned by the people would quickly get into the hands of monopolists. There Is in existence a law drawn ex pressly for the purpose of treating coat and mineral lands on a different basis from that used in allotting farming lands, and this is done so as to assure the gov ernment of an adequate return for the eession of such rich iands to private in dividuals, but the clauses we have cited in the democratic platform expressly pro vide for an entering wedge which monop olists would be qulf.k to drive home. The writers of tha platform and the conven tion that adopted it should explain. THESE GIRLS OF OURS. THE KRAKAT0A ERUPTION By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. The eruption of Krakatoa, down in the Sunda straits, whiclf took place ' twenty nine years ago August 28, 1883 still ranks first among the appalling convulsions of nature. Krakatoa was a volcanic mountain midway between Sumatra and Java, but it had been inactive since 1680. In the spring of 1883 it began to show signs of activity. On August 26 loud explosions were heard, and on the 28th came the eruption that fairly shook the planet. The eruption was followed by an ap palling darkness, with a downpour of mud and sand. Then came a tremendous tidal movement, the water receding and then returning and overwhelming the people on the shores. The tidal wave was fifty feet high. When Investigation became possible it was found that Krakatoa had ' burst throwing one part completely over Lansj island, seven miles to the northwest The great mountain was literally torn up 1y the roots, as was shown by the fact that over the spot where the ex ploded volcano had stood the sounding line found a depth of 160 fathoms, or 969 feet. Other soundings showed that the bottom of the ocean for miles around had been changed. Islands that had never been seen before appeared and others entirely disappeared. The damage to human life, done chiefly by the monster tidal waves, has' never been definitely estimated, but it is known that at least 100,000 perished. The loss M'as probably far in excess of that number. Soma idea of the force of the explosion may be had from the fact that the waves that were started by it traveled across the oceans and met on the other side of the glob. Indeed, it was proven that these waves crossed at the Antipodes and encircled the earth no less than four times before they got back to, normal. Strange as it may seem ,the detonation accompanying the explosion was felt 3,000 miles away; while, from its very , im mensity, It was almost inaudible to the dwellers in the immediate vicinity. Wonderful, too, were the meteorological phenoma following- the dread calamity. The sun did not rise or "set in the old familiar way for more than a year after the explosion. The clouds appeared to be touched with strange lurid tints and the blue of the heavens did not look as It had looked before. The superstitious In all lands felt that the very laws of nature were changing;, and some imagined that the world was rearing Its end. The explanation, later on given, that the queer phenomena were due to the fact that the awful explosion had filled the whole upper atmosphere with thousands of tons of tine dust, which en circled the entire earth and changed the aspect of the heavens.

WILLIS HUDSPETH. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 24, AT LAST A PARCELS POST Zone System of Bates and Eleven Pounds the Limit. New York World. The parcels post act as finally passed by congress follows the son plan of Senators Bourne and Bristow. For varying rates running rather high over long distances ther Is more reason in a country 8,000 miles wide than there Is in compact Britain, Germany' or France, either of which is smaller than Texas. Under this bill an eleven-pound package can be sent over a first-sone distance of fifty miles for 35 cents, or ISO miles tor H cents, or from New York to San Fran cisco for $1.32, tha same rate that is charged in th International parcels post service.. To send eleven pounds of mer chandise even ten miles by post now we must divide it into three parcels and pay 81.76 postage. , The Bourne bill carries the service only part way along the path of progress which other nations have traversed. In Germany the post carries eleven pounds of unsealed merchandise forty-six mile for t cents and 110 pounds for to cents, with cheap facilities for insurance. Franc carries twenty-two pound parcels for 26 cents. Even Russia admits a weight limit of 108 pounds and will take thirty six pounds overland from St Petersburg to Peking for 10 cents a pound above local rates. ; 1 .'. But the bill is a boon. It may or it may not go far enough. The son system may or may not be abandoned; it is at least common In other countries. The weight limit needs to be raised to make th service what It should be. The prices are too high.' Th discretionary power of the postmaster general to modify rates and son is dubious wisdom. But never mind! It is a fair beginning. That congress has at last been goaded to pass a parcels post bill of any kind I a splendid victory for public opinion over the forces of privilege. IteBeeS LetterBox: Republicans Want to Knew. BURWELL, Neb., Aug. 27.-To the Editor of The Bee: Myself and many more of the republicans of Garfield county wish to know Just wnere Governor Aldrlch and George W. Norris stand politically. If they are for Roosevelt and the third party, they cannot be repub licans. If they are not republicans they should not masquerade as such. The majority of the people don't like masqueraders and straddlers. The great Master made It plain where ho stood on this principle nearly 2,000 years ago when he said, ''He that Is not for me is against me." If these gentlemen undertake lo rid two horses during the campaign this fall they need not be surprised if they are rolled .in th dust of the political arena. We need more men like Judge Kenyon of Iowa. J. L. JENKINS. , Third Term Progressive. BRADSHAW, Neb., Aug. 26.-TO the Editor of Th Be: For a long time we have been racking our brains trying to discover what "progressive .republican" really meant For a time it ha loomed up before us as that of leaving tried re publican principles and flirting with un tried democratic Ideas. This conclusion was reached by giving close attention to th1 actions and argument of Congress man Norris, but' now. thanks to Colonel Bryan, th republican progressive Idea is perfectly clear to our mind, and it is Colonel Roosevelt who Is th embodiment of that much mooted political phrase "progressive," and It ha become, or Is to become, if Roosevelt Is to hare his way, a mighty force In th destruction of a national precedent a precendent es tablished by Washington, followed by Jeiterson and was held over General Grant . It Is certainly a great' satisfac tion to an old-time republican to find th straight and narrow path called "pro gressive republican." and to get out of the wool-gathered dilemma of not know ing Just where th path la leading. Of course, the republican party has always been progressive. It has furnished and put Into practic a complete line, of pro gression and prosperity since the days of the great civil war, but until this year 1912 It has never tried to make a slogan of the word in order to hoodwink the voters Into nominating i candidate for presi dent for the third term." Is not such a ltne dangerous? Can th grand old re publican party, "or vtn a part el th party afford to lend its Influence to such an end simply to gratify the ambition of Roosevelt or any other designing politiolan? We answer, nevert Th republican party is th party of progress along ail legitimate lines-all lines where tha best Interests of th American people are to b conserved. Has not its record as a political party proven our statement absolutely correct? Bay, my republican brother, are you ready to allow this cry, "progressive," coming from the lips of demagogues and designing politicians and office seekers to carry you off yur feet and cause you to strike a blow at a precedent estab lished by America's first president? It you do, you will do so at the peril of yourself and that of coming generations. Think soberly; think Justly; think right eously and be sure that when you vote you vote for the good of your country. JOHN B. DEY. "fuel !' i Indignant. SOUTH OMAHA, August 27. To th Editor of Th Bee: Governor Aldrich's latest escapade In an attempt to emulate his bull moose leader and constitute him self the mightiest of all. has sprung a challenge for public debate before the Nebraska people on political questions on Lieutenant Governor J. H. MoreheaJ, who is now th democratic candidate for Aldrich's position, but Mr. Morehead, with commendable sagacity and wisdom, be ing well versed with Aldrich's egotistical designs and tactics, has modestly, but firmly ignored his reouost. thus unrimt. Ing th worst state executive Nebraska nas ever been afflicted with from ob taining more publicity and create notor iety, for he certainly already has enough oi the latter. His anxiety to kep himself promi nently before the voters and obtain larsrer audiences to listen to a political dis cussion in bis present effort to com pletely annihilate the G. O. P. has been frustrated by Mr. Morehead's decision. Only for th large number of appoint-. om or whom I hav known for many years to have been active, worthy, loyal republicans, but who now feel obligated to support him. h would receive a meager support In years to come these same men will deeply reitret havlntr l.f the republican party of progress, advance ment and prosperity, to foilow a lot of professional office seekers and false re formers like Roosvlt, Aldrlch and Nor rls. I earnestly and sincerely would ask how a true republican can desert his party and follow such political renegades whom I bcllnv on next November 4 will be consigned. to political oblivion. , ; DAVID ANDERSON.
