President-elect Wilson says he will try to mlnimlre hand-shaking while ho Is in the White House, forthwith, some have Jumped to the conclusi6n, thoreforo, that this grand old instltu tion is to pass from our life. First It Is condemned as unsanitary by n psoplo becoming immaculate in sani tation; next, it is denounced as a physical hardship and on state oc casions, it often Is; third, ns mean ingless and boorish. Sometimes it is even s6. And yet, theugu backed bjr tho flat of the Whlto House, wothink It Is here to stay for a goad while longer. It takes tme to uproot a custom as deeply intrdnchod as thlB.Js jn the life o a people. From 'iirne im- jfeseMprlat men have observe some rorm of salutation on meeting.

Perhaps it is fair to assume It has had some thing to do with this gratifying enor raon8(lncreasf in commotce. Wd may bo very euro that if opposite results had ensued, the critics of this policy would promptly place tho blame. Dol lar diplomacy is common sense ap plied to foreign relations and must inevitably win. TII6 Taft adminis tration' has not completed all that needs to be done toward cultivating mutual relations in South America, but it has done so much' da to make continued progress In good will and commerce much . easier. This is an achievement which the official and business interests of our country long sought. Every one in South Omaha real lies that complete merger lth Omaha; is inevitable in tho courso ot timo, the only difference ot opinton being as to the (hue. for merger.
