"Tho republican party is ,do etroyod," says tho colonel, still smart ing under tho sting of defeat. Not so fast. If President-elect Wilson wishes to do tho real gallant, let him appoint Citizen Jano Addams to a place in hlB cabinet.

How can a man keop in a good humor who has to wield a facllo pen by pecking typowrltor keys with a s'oro finger? Tho average American city would rcsemblo Paradise if one-tonth of tho "city beautiful" schemes proposed materialized. Omaha people want to' do the fair thing by the street railway company, and they also want tho stroot railway bompany to do tho fair thing by them. Charles Pago Bryan, tho umbussn .dor. to Japan, who resigned n lucra tive office, is obviously not a demo crat and no kin to William J, Uryan. Casting a sldo glance at tho re turns, does any Bane man doubt that a, republican president would havo been elected, with a united party be hind him? Imagine the affcctlonato thoughta that steal athwart tho placid mind of Kick Longworth whenever ho hap pens to think of Pa and that ex-seat in congresa. Governor-elect Morehcad saya ho does not expect to bo re-elected. If his three Immediate predecessors had had tho samo viewpoint thoy would not havo been disappointed, "Sixteen years to one victory" Is tho way Mr. Bryan's Commoner Re vises the sacred democratic ratio. We doubt, however, if Mr. Bryan will In filst, cur he used to, that this ratio is sacred and unchangeable. Senator Borah reaffirms his alle giance to the republican party, with the declaration that "that is tho party Jn which I bare fought bo far, and I shall continue to fight thero." And the senator is some fighter when he gets started. The municipal home rule amend ment.to the Ohio constitution has Just gone into effect.

At tho recent meeting to form a state organization of Nebraaka menu facturere one of the principal tonlca of illsctisulon wax proposed legislation for compenaatlou of Workmen injured in industrial nccldonts. Those who .heard those dlscttMipns .noon uMbcov ereti that tho question Is much larger, find has much wider ramifications, than would be implfed by tho mere mention of the subject. At tho snmo tlmo it comoo,home to every employer of labor In whatever form, and to overy person who works for wages, Including tholr famllloa and other de pendents. Hero In Nebraska' a commission, appointed .by tho governor, under legislative nuthorlty, liim been at work for months with a view to mak ing recommendations to bo submitted to. the coming legislature, whore, it mny bo definitely taken for granted, workmen'H compensation moasur.es wjll havo erious attention. Many other states have olthor written pxr 'porlinental laws upon tholr statuto bgpks. pr.aro. likewise in tho, prollnw inary stages of this legislation. Tho Ued makcH this recital, not to "ontVrlnto the meHls of tho matter (it this time, but to Impross our read erB' who may bo affected olthor as employers or ns employos, with tho urgency of looking- into tho subject imrt.studylng It carefully for the pur pose of reaching practical cpnclu aTonB.

"The Intelligent Voter." It Ih common practlco In cortaln elrcles to speak of "tho intelligent voter" with a sort of Bneerlngvofer enco os if fow pooplo manifested any degreo of intelligence In marking their, bnllots at tho polls. Our recont experience with an olght-foot ballot and eighty-eight separato and dis tinct cIioIccb for tho voter to make must, in viow of tho election results, bo a trlbuto to the Intelligence of the votor. Tho votor seems to have known what ho wnntod to db, and to havo Huoccodod in doing It fairly well regardless of tho complexities of tho ballot, and tho multiplicity of tho tasks. It would bo rash to assort that any largo number or votes in this Btato were, by mistake born of ignorauco, cast In a way that tho voter did not want them caat.v That docs not mean that tho burden of tho long ballot is not oxccsslvc, nor that wo should ceaso efforts to niako it lighter, but it must insnlro confldouco that tho average voter possesses enough intelligence to meet all tho nocossltlca of popular government. Those Seven-Cent Meals. Tho women of tho Chicago School of Domestic Arts and Sciences think they have found tho solvent of tho high cost of living in a meal they say ciin bo Borvod for 7 cents a plate, with' this menu: Ono loaf of homo-mado bread, 2 ccnta. Mutton and vcKetablen cnciimscrolo, 5 cents. Steamod jlco. C centx, ' Brcud pudding ctmtard, 10 cunU. That might not strike no mo men of voracious appetites ub altogether bountiful, and yet tho cost Is inoro, undoubtedly, than n good many fam ilies now pay, or aro able to pay, and much less than a good many other families would think of trying to niako out on. Seven cents a plato would bo 28 cents a meal for a family of four, 84 conts a day, $G,81 a wook, or $25.18 a month, which nnyono knows la more than many families of four pay out. Tho good women muy fix upall tho menus they plonao; thero is nothing to' stop them, but they are not likely to alter conditions very much by it, Tho family that is nblo to satisfy its tastes as both to quality and quantity will do so, and tho ono that la not will como as near to it as it can, and few will bo content to follow out a fixed schedulo of Ht in order to niako endsvmoot. What of Our Ex-Presidents 1 If Theodoro Roosevelt and William H. Taft live wp shall, for tho first time In mnnyyeara, have two simul taneously surviving ox-i)roaldonts after March 4. Tat might, glvo fresh Impetus to the old question, "What shall wp do with our cx-presl dents?" Yet tho question can havo little standing aa to either of theso men, Colonel Kooaovelt lost no tlmo pfter leaving the White House inBot tllng it bo far ns ho was personally concerned, and ho Is likely to con tinue hard at work so long us. his superlatlvo powers of Industry last. President Taft says ho will resume tho practice of law in Cincinnati amid homo folKs after bo transfers tho reins of government to President Wilson,, so no one neod fear he will not be kopt busy. But why should not tho people con tinuo to recetvo unofficial service from tho men who havo occupied tholr highest office? Why should not ex-preflidents lend the benefit of tholr experience in counsel and ad vice to tholr successors? Graver Cleveland did it in a measurable de gree. President Boosevelt admitted ,1... 1. 1 .. .I.. r ..1.1, . , uiui mb wiDjuiuiiuii iur ui uurawng tue antnraclto coal strike came from Mr. Cleveland, who, he snld, fre quently helped hltii with his friendly nrtrlce. Unhappily, Colonel Itoose velt, despite- his promises upon arriv ing from Africa, failed to do for his BUccofwor what n former president ha'tl generously done for him. This Is one very valuable way, it seeniB to us, Ih which our cx-prosldents mny contlnuo to Borvo tholr country. Mental Dissipation. Tompernnco of mind is a vitally important aspect of sobriety, De plorable as is overindulgence In drink, Its consequences ofton are no worse thun (hoso of intemperate thought and speech and action. Thero nre curtain' passions besides the pas sion for drink that call for rigid dis cipline. There aro tho paflslons of prejudice, of envy, of hate, of covet eousncss and malice, any ono of which unrestrained lendB to grave re sults. Tho man who can and does control theso uassiona within himself Js llke'y to control tho passion-tor drink, and, therefore, become a tom poratp'man, consequently a Blro'ng man. After all, tho big problem In life 1b itolf-controi; A wlso man. lorlg ago eald that "Ho who ruloth his own spirit is greater than hu who taketh a city." Wo demand sober thought, Banlty of utterance and action, to piiah forward tho great enterprises of prqgrees now being promulgated in this day of almost abnormal achlev ment. Wo cannot have it, though, from mon whoso minds aro warped with Intoxicating passions of preju dice, that shuts out -Justice; of envy, that obscUres true vision; of hate, that makes for sordid purpose; of covcteousncBS( that begctB open dis honesty; of mailco, that thwartB all well-doing. For tho work of this day a broud, untrammclud mind, with Bound, undlmmod reason, and calm,, dlsposslonnte Judgment for men and things upon tholr merits, Is required. Emphasis is to be laid on temparanco In tho uso of stimulating drink, but no more thun on theso other largor forms of sobriety. , Signs of the Times. And he suld unto litrt disciples, "It la ImpoBdlbln but that offenses will come, but woo unto him through whom they como." Social wrong and civil 111b are as old as tho world. Their oxlstonco is not a valid cuubo olthor for alarm or dlBmay, or nn indictment of tho community in which thoy are found, provided that community is doing its duty in combatting them. Not tho offenso, but callous indlftorenco to it, brings tho woo. And upon thnt basts thero 1b much in tho signs of tho times to cheer on those who aro working, In what ever name or form, for Boolnl and civic Improvement. It is mightily to tho credit of our day that the gen eral moral tone 1b rising; that men and women aro actively engaged in bettering tho condltlonB oft llfo for nil, in studying tha problems that confound and confute for their right solution. In HiIb thero Is all the holio wo need and moro to offset tho dtscouragomont arising from tho ex istence of evil. Wo aro often prone to deprecate tho progress wo aro making. When' ever has an ago produced so much practical amelioration ns this one In which wo are blessed with living? What department of our llfo is not receiving attention? But thero ia dnngor in ovorhaste. Wo will, nfter alt, not get done all there 1b for us to do, but will be compelled to leave something for tho next generation. And that In not discouraging. It is wrlttou that even the Saviour of mankind performed only a part of tho' Borvlce that needed, performing in tho brief span of his ministry, yet triumphed. No noed to mako tho Lord n glorified policeman today any more than 1900 years ago' to get done what 1b assigned to thlB tlmo nnd pooplo. Tho spirit to do -will look out for tho deeds. Congress on His Hand, . Prcsldent-oloct Wilson evidently bbliovoa ho has felt tho pulse of his party sufficiently to Justify him in calling an extra BeBslon of congress immediately nftor his inauguration. Tho pulso spoke rather loudly and emphatically through many of tho loaders, especially Speaker Champ Clark, who boldly declared, tho day bofore Dr. Wilson announcod his de cision, that nn extra session wbb pre requisite to tho redemption of plat form pledges- made by tho democrats In tho hq campaign. From tho standpoint of consistency OiIb posi tion seema. to be unassailable. Whether tho country demands demo cratic tariff tinkering or uot, it elected the democrats by a minority voto and has a right to expect thorn to mako good on their promises. . So tho now president's troubles will beglu March 4. Grover Cleveland's utterance, "I havo congress on my hands," so full of solemn meaning, became an adage. The adage has lost none of its forco in the experience of President Taft. No wonder President-elect Wilson wished to proceed cautiously In stat ing lils intention as to nn extra ses sion for tariff reform. Being some thing of an historian, be 1b ablo to re call with vivid appreciation the ox porlonces of other men with preclpt tate plans In this direction. Regular sessions of congress havo proved none .A . ... ' ' . M . M i iua propitious lor uirilt reiornl- eX' I tra sessions have become veritable pitfalls of executive aspirations and legislative hopes. Besides, Mr. Cleve land, Mills, Morrison and Congress man Wilson found that out. From the outset the new chief executive tho second democrat since the civil war to .oiflr 'tTio White House will have congress on his hands wih .a partisan majority In each house. He will alrfo iuvo his party's persistant pledfjo for tariff scaling .to redeem .and the country's clamor to satisfy, - Tho situation may bo Interesting to tho country, but it Is much more than that to the 'scholarly president-elect. . . Let it Come to Omaha, Western league fiasd ball magnates In 8esslon. In Chicago have voted In favor of transferring the league's headquarters from Chicaub. and it has been suggested that It be moved to Kansas City.

Tho feminine president of an east ern Bchool for girls makes tho re markable statement that "no girl can servo two masters her college and her pocketbook," meaning alio cannot work her way through collego with t0 h(,T education. "Self-educa tion," ns this MIbh President torniB it, moans Inadequate physical austonanco to tho young woman attempting It and tnorelorp despoils the advantages of her schooling. But mnny young women, at least in smaller Institutions In tho west, havo worked and aro working their way through collego. Havo tho results with them been such ns to Justify thla disparagement? It ,is oxtromely doubtful. It is very common for young mon to earn their way, and if they can do it, why not young womon, many of whom, as we havo said, do? Doea anyone supposo a girl with the grit to work her way through col lego becauso unable to pay her way without work llns 80 Mtlo senBO aB to do without Btifflcient bodily nourishr ment? Miss President profa'ces her romarks by saying. "Snobbery is not at tho root of my atUtudo," but with out her explanation ono might euBlly havo assumed otherwise. Tho poor girl as well as tho rich desires, the beat education and hall to tho future womanhood of Amorica it any con siderable number of glrla aro willing to earn an education when they must. Call for Greek Veterans. From over toward Macodonla comes another distress signal; tho Greek nation la calling for all Its vot oran soldiers In Amorica. This dis courages tho hope of an immediate end of the turmoil. Turkey and Bul garia supposedly aro negotiating terms of settlement, but If they reachod them promptly that would not end nil trouble. Sorvla and Aus tria und, Indeed, Russia, may causo fresh outbreaks upon a larger scale at any tlmo over tho disposition of Adriatic soaports. It is not difficult to perceive the possibility of a mael strom of war, if nations became arbi trary, into which Greeco might be drawn against Its wish. In such an ovont It would need all tho strongth it could muster. Ono thing 1b quite apparent, Greece ia standing on tender ground. It would bo possible for circumstances to crowd it in botweon tho upper and nether grindstones of dispute, whbro its national entity would, to say tho least, bo In Jeopardy, Of course, it is hopod no such contingency will arlso, and It would brlnp much satisfaction If conditions yet warranted tho king In recalling this last draft upon his Bubjects In America, The business mon, nnd more par ticularly the retail merchants, aro vitally Interested In good street car service, becauso with bad service their patrons cut abort their shop ping excursions to avoid tho rush hour Bcramblo to ride homo. The In fluence of tho business men should bo on the Bldo of tho passengers. In tho language of tho lnlmltablo mikado, tho situation among the domocratlo plo distributors In Ne braska is close to tho point whero each must draw "hla terrible snick ersnee," It Is a veritablo "howdy do" and also "a pretty mess." President-elect Wllsou Is said to bo an expert on limericks and to havo a singing volco above tho avorage. Good, he may get timo from his prosaic duties. to give to poetry and song, but probably not during an ex tra session. I.lsht oi n Myatrry. Wall Street Journal.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Millions do marry on such a sum; no better proof Is needed. Baltimore American: Instead of a clergyman officiating at a funeral In Bos ton recently a talking machine was used. Perhaps beforo long, in this day of ad vanced thought, a phonograph will be officiating at weddings. Boston Transcript; President-elect Wil son has been likened to many other men, Joseph Chamberlain among them, but it remained for tho Princeton clergyman to discover his resemblanco to'Habakkuk. This will perhaps hasten moro democrats Own usual to iv consultation of tho Old Testament, and even thero they may not find tho satisfaction they seek. Habakkuk was tho eighth of the minor prophets, but it Is said of him that "concerning his llfo absolutely nothing of him is known." There Is a legend, however, that he was ordered to carry food to Daniel in the lion's den and, to enable him to obey, an angel took him by the hair of his head and transported him to Babylon. We hardly think Mr. Wilson's hair would stand tho strain. MltYAN AND TUB CABINET. Will lie Sncrtflcc Present Inde pendent Position f Washington Herald. Of course, Mr. Bryan does not want a cabinet position. Thrico candidate for tha presidency, and with a lingering hopo that even --yet his ambition may bo re alized, Mr. Bryan probably regards a cabinet office as beneath his dignity. Besides this, he wnnts to be in an Inde pendent position. He 1ms a newspaper through which ho can disseminate his vluws, nnd he does not hesitate to expreea his mind. Thero are many things which he will want to say during the next four years, and a portfolio would bind him hand and foot. Above all, Mr. Bryan Itkes to mako money, and why should he sacrifice the remunerative lecture plat form for the paltry honor of official title'' So Mr. Bryan, being wise In his day and generation, will not enter President Wil son's cabinet, fhero aro other things for him to do.

(Tho first three verses qf this famous poem,, with slight changes that will sug gest themselves to the reader, fairly Pic tures the disastrous awakening of the sleeping Turk.) At midnight, in his guarded tent. Tho Turk was dreaming of the hour When Greece, her knee In suppllance bent, Should trcmblo nt his power; In dreams, through camp and court, ho bore The trophies of a conqueror; In dreams his song of triurfiph heard; Then wore ills monarch's Bigiiet ring; Then pressed that monarch's throne a king . , As wild his thoughts, and gay of wing, Aa Eden's garden bird. At midnight. In the forest shades, Boszaris ranged his Sullote band. True ns the steel of their tried blades. Heroes In heart nnd hand. Thero had the Persian's thousands stood, On old Plataea'a day; And nowhere breathed that haunted air Tho sons of sires who conquered there, With arm to strike and soul to dare, As quick, as far, as they. An hour passed on; tho Turk awoko; That bright dream was his last; He woke, to hear his sentries shriek, "To arms! they como! the Groeltl tho Greekl" Ho woke, to die 'midst flamo and smoke. And shout, and g.-oan, and saber stroke. And death-shots falling thick nnd fast As lightning from tho mountain cloud: And heard, with volco as trumpet loud, Bozzarls cheer his band; "Strike till the lust armed foe expires 1 Strike for your altars and your fires! Strike for the green graves of your sires, God and your native land!" Prescription Economy V .Inn' irfilsA n falnrn nf ,.,f prices in-our Prescription Depart ment.
