The' best part of this fine Ne braska woather Is that there Is plenty of it for all. Perhaps they nro singing "Onward, Christian. Soldlora," down around Constantinople now. Tho world naturally ao'ems small and unimportant to tho man whose mind dwells chiefly on solf. Speaking of household economy to combat high prices, what has become of tho old-fashioned root cellar? Still political miscegenation undor tho nanio ot fusion docs not look any better to us now than It used to. San Francleco'fl exposition makers will have to got busy or tho canal builders at Panama will beat them out. President Taft's so-called "Bwan song" is much more melodious than that strident wall that rose from Armageddon. King beorgo of England, it is said, does much ot his. own typewriting. One touch of tho keys makes us fel lows all' kin, It goes without saying that while Governor Wilson will succeod Presi dent Taft, ho will not literally fill tho gamo chair. Tho basic, thought to koop In mind In all municipal crusades Is that no community can afford to bo in part nership with vice. The othor Omaha nowapapers de clined our Invitation to como In and holp get more street cars and so Tho Beo 'west it alone. All agreo that Captain Arthur Capper of tho Topeka Capital capped tho climax in tho captious Kansas governorship contest, Wondor if Omaha cannot mako tho oft dug power canal and the many times constructed million-dollar hotol pull one another across. It romalns to be scon whothor the sick man of Europe recovers from theoperatIon now being performed by six eminent Dalkan surgeons. It. transpires that Harry Thaw'fl personal counsel has. Just drawn six months in jail, so he is In a position to offer Harry additional counsel. That Jllssotirl university physical culturallst who says city boys are better muscled than country lads will have, to .sbow a good many people. That mau who confesses to an Ir resistible mania to kill little boys might bo helped by the law placlne him where the mania will not tempt him. With the Nebraska legislature made up of a democratic house und a republican senate, tho governor's veto power will have to bo ratod above par. What a come-off it would be if tho California contest should finally turn on th vote of Governor Johnson's father, whioh was cast- for Wilson and Marshall. Will cutting tho time for Intro ducing bills Into the legislature In half cut the number of bills Intro duced in half? We shall see what t.o shall sec. The Double Label Trick. Ascribing democratic defeat wher ever it occurred In tho lato Nebraakn olectlon to fusion of opponents, our old friend, Edgar Howard, takes con solation in this thought; Tho democrats and tho pops used to play that rame gamt In Nebraska and It must be admitted that the strongest tie which bound democrats and pops to gether was tho hopes they entertained of securing the offices. On tho theory that honest confes sion Is good for the soul, this is in teresting particularly as confirming the attitude of The Dec toward demo pop fusion all theso years. A com bination of political forces to correct some abuso or accomplish sonic par ticular reform to which both aro committed Is qulto understandable and defensive, but It can bo only temporary. Whoro fusion Is nursed along year aftor year Just to divide tho spoils of offlco, It can havo no good excuse So far os wo aro ablo to ascertain, In no state In" tho union has tho fusion fraud been so brazenly prac ticed and carried to such extremes as It has been hero in Nobraska. In no other state do offico seokors havo the hardihood to take oath that they affiliate at one and tho same time with two or more opposing political parties proclaiming Irrcconcllablo principles. In all othor states, per petration of this bunco gamo has been mado by law Impossible and tho double-Iabol tickets legislated off the official ballot. With realization that U Is a gamo more than one can play at, Nobraska may eventually unload the Incubus, too. The Tatus Club Speech. President Taft's Lotus club speech is nn utterance wise, philosophical and of rnro good humor, as mus bo generally acknowledged. Tho presi dent facetiously called It his "swan song," and as such it was sweot and melodious aa compared with strident, ill-tomporcd and ill-timed post adjurations heard from others. His old-fashioned exalted ideas of tho presidency and tho constitution como as needed inspiration at this time. Two of tho president's record mondatlons In this speech aro of no table Interest, that ot a slnglo six- year presidential term and that ot oxecuttvo representation through tho cabinet on tho floors of tho Iioubo and senato as a moans of greator ef ficiency in both f departments and a deterrent to misrepresentation and baleful Influence upon tho country. No doubt the country Is In a mood to glvo serious consideration to both propositions. Somo definite oxprcs slon has already been had in favor of a longer term for the prostdont with Ineligibility for ro-oloctlon. Undor tho present system thoro la much tomptatlon In tho first term to plan 'for a second. Yet there 'Is no assuranco that this condition would bo fully ovorcomo oven by adoptlug tho chango proposed. Cleaning Up the Cities. The general rlso in moral tone ap parent over tho country has insplrod vigorous ontl-vtco crusades In nianj cities and somo very marked tradl lions are bolng swept away. Mu nicipalities aro bolng arbjisod to their own moral and clvlo wolfaro, so with attention thus conteredi upon needed improvement, It ought to bo possible to achieve It In larger measure. Dut at tho outset It should be rocognlzed that construction must follow destruction and tho disap pointing feature thus far with our professional upllftors has been tho distinct lack of any reasonably doflnlto plan to take tho place of what Is torn down. Wo must dto more than Bupplant one abuso with another, possibly an bad or worse than tho original. If, as Is assortod by many, tho day of segregated social vice Is past, cities must hasten to Improvlso a hotter method for hand ling tho problem, for, unfortunately, tho evil does not disappear with the erasure of district lines. Xing Corn's Supremacy. Kins; Corn put ?1, 850,776, 000 of new wealth into tho pockets ot the American farmer this year. Ho put 3,160,137,000 bushels of this cereal tntq his granaries, which exceeds tho greatost corn crop ever produced by any country by 281,921,00 bushels. That Is a little more than Nebraska's 1913 crop amounted to. This state ranks fourth or fifth In the list ot corn growing states. Corn consti tutes three-fifths ot all our agricul tural products. JJoth in acreage and yield per acrewo aro Increasing our production. Nebraska's part, there fore, In this stupendous output each year gives it a ploco near tho top, and ahead of other older states with sev oral times its population. In this lies tho significance of Nebraska's future. Whon our peoplo are more numerous and our land generally opened up to Intensive cultivation, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana will havo to look to their laurels to avoid being surpassed by this younger state, a veritable dominion in fertility, Corn is still king, form ing a third or more ot the crop wealth ot the country and Nebraska has a proud part In maintaining Us supremacy.

LADIES OF THE WHITE HOUSE Fast, Present and Future Hostesses. Boston Transcript There ore millions of people waiting to see what the newly-ohosen president will do after ho nssumes the executive au thority of tho nation the fourth of next March. There aro perhaps almost as many millions hardly less Interested to know what will bo the social life of the presidential mansion after tho new occu. pants are Installed. That It will be of? a character to command public approval nnd very likely admiration thero aro few to doubt, and that Is a feature of an ad ministration whlrh does not always re ceive tho recognition and appreciation II deserves. Thero havo been few Instances when the ladles of the White Houso have not risen to tho demands of the posi tion; fewer still when they have not be!n found worthy of tho distinction w.hlch they were called upon to share. Certainly, looking back over a genera tion, only n captious critic would tinder, take to pick flaws In the record. There were some who maintained that Mrs Haye was literally the better half dur ing the four years In which she woro the title of "first lady of the land." She cer tainly exercised a strong Influence upon the social end of the executive functions. nnd attained a prominence In affairs for which hex position did not fully nccount Today her strong qualities would find p still wider field, because there has been rather marked progress nlong the llries of her special activities. Mtn, Garfield was a lady of quiet and domestic tastes but one who would have been fully equal to the requirements of the stnte to which she had been elevated had not the presi dent's untimely death rbbbod her of the opportunity, Mr. Cleveland entered upon his duties a bachelor, but ho did not lonp remain so. Without question his mar riage was one of affection, but Had It been simply one of policy, for the pur pose of establishing In the mansion n mistress of It who would Impart grace Sobriety and the "Pocket Nerve,!' Closing Doors of Workshops to Booze Fighters. New York Sun. The "pocket norvc," though not de lineated In works on nnatomy, appears to be most Influential. Many commercial and manufacturing concerns havo come to the conclusion that tho abuso of alcohol on tho part of their employes is detrimental to their Interests tfnd they refuse tho services of men addicted to this habit. Fow companies have been courageous enough to refuse employment to men who use alcohol moderately, be cause In this country at least It would appear to be In Infringement on personal llborty. Accidents Uko the terrible ono. on the Delawaro & Lackawanna railroad on tho Fourth of July last cannot happen on tho llorlln elevated railroad because every employe before going to work must report to a trustworthy officer, who ascertains whether or not he Is under the influence of liquor.

The equal suffrage amendment was udopted in Kansas. and dignity and even a supply of tactful ness which perhaps tu sometimes lack ing in his own personality, ho could hardly have chosen more wisely. The social phases of President McKln. ley's administration wero of a very quiet character because of tho poor health of his wife, a most estimable woman. Mrs Itoosevelt has manifested aa sound com mon sense and as admirable polso In her somewhat exacting duties as any woman who has occupied tho placo. Bho has been the balanco wheel In many a some what trying .situation, and deserves not only tha high respect but tho generous applause of her countrymen and country women, for tho manner In which she has Interpreted and responded to her exact ing responsibilities, and her husband has never had a better or safer adviser In office or out of It. President Taft has been doubly fortunate In the companion ship and sympathy In his labors of an accomplished wife and nn Interesting daughter, whose tastes, training and en vironment have given her life a wide horizon that haa been the privilege of very few, of her years. After next March the feminine element will havo a larger representation In the White House -than It has ever had before. Even when but a candidate, tho president-elect's Interesting family could not escape public attention, and they bore the ordeal with becoming modesty and philosophy, and the mistress of the house, hold will have valuable assistants In the dlschargo of her duties In her three daughters, whose talents vary, though all are genuine. Few presidents have had better reasons to felicitate themselves upon so adequate a social equipment for tho responsibilities of tho next four yearn as he, and doubtless, he is fully con scious and appreciative of his blessing. Happy should be the man who has a charming family as a foil to -tho burdens and embarrassments of officialdom. that V forbidding the use of alcohol 7 per cent of nil nccidpntfl would bn nre. vented and the workmen's sick benefit societies would tnvo ,fe00,000 marks an nually, more than Jl.000,000. Theso facts were clearly brought out In the hygienic congress by Dr. W, P. Boos, who also points out that most accidents occurred on Monday, Bhowlng that they wero prob nbly duo to week end tippling, .which lea'es the man In an unstable condition. Thero Is no doubt that tho regular use ot alcohol, even In moderate quantities, gradunlly undermines tho nervous sys tem: the man grows less alert, his senses aro less acute, and when ho Is Injured this Is evidenced by the occurrence of de lirium tremens. Whon tho new workmnn's compensa tion nets come to be fully enforced em ployers will begin to realize the role ot alcohol In tho production ot accidents for which they will be held liable, though Intoxication inny have been a contribu tory cause. Tho result will doubtless be salutary: the powerful "pocket ncrvo" will Influence employers to avoid' work men who uso alcohol at nil, in order to diminish tho probability of accidents. There Is no computation ot the benefi cent results of such a precautionary measure, not nlono In the saving-of llfo, limb and property, but In tho enormous benefits to tho workman and his family, whoso resources, meager enough nt best, Would.no longor be crippled by the out lays Involved In Illness and deaths caused or furthered by alcohol.

The campaign of 1912 has done at least one, thing to taiako this world a more cheerful plar.o to live In.
