Note that MIbb Morton, who spurns pink tea and whist society for a llfo on tho farm, comes of good old Nebraska stock, ; Jri. naming Gregg, Graff and Gordos for tho State Board of Con trol, Governor Morehead shows rnro taste for alliteration. According to statistics, Omaha Is the third most henlthful city. Al lowing for mathematical discrepan cies, it must bo first. Tho presumption is, however, that tho enticing platforms on which our law-makors ran last fall were made to get in on and not to stand on. It waB impossible that tho General Du Paty de Clam incident should havo- held its own against the Balkan war and Mexican situation. The European dootor with tho marvelous tuberculosis euro says ho is not morcenary. Refreshing to have doctors who admit tbey aro not. Although Mr. Bryan- maintains homes also In Texas and Florida, hla scat at tho cabinet table will be charged up at the plo counter to Ne braska. Water rates in Omaha aro still a third higher than tho highest charged In any city of our site in the country, and about five times as high as charged in most large cities. is to be hoped Governor More head will havo taken duo precautions to prevent tho lid from tipping whllo tome one else is sitting on It for him during hlB excursion to Wash ington. The shooting of the third Madero suggests the amazing .precision with which those federal bullets pick out members of that family. But Uuorta was grained under Porfirio piaz, who always shot atralghtest when aiming at an enemy, The Coming Cabinet. Next to tho personnel, itself, the qtiostioti of chief Interest In tho se lection of the coming cabinet has boon whether preference would ho given to peculiar fitness Irrespective of political Borvlce, or to party loy alty and personal obligation. As suming as correct tho announcement of the appointment of Uryan, Burle son, McAdoo and Daniels, this ques tion seems settled In favor of tho latter consideration Kvldently Mr. Wilson has succeeded In brushing aside all idoallstic predilections that may' have obscured to his vision the practical-side of politics and tho old democratic doctrine that to the vic tors belong the spoils. For the four men thus far named have been con spicuous WilHon advocatos from the first, Mr. Bryan being credited with making him the nominee of tho party, nnd all had active parts In tho election campaign. Whatever Interest resides In this question now applies to tho other five appointments, and If some of thorn aro made as forecasted tho basis of solectlon will not' bo changed. It remains only to bo seen how well President-elect Wil son succeeds in harmonizing the fac tions of tho democracy with Mr. Bryan as tho premier of his official family. With tho Clark-Underwood leadership in tho house, and similar forces in tho senate, It will require n very deft hand to socuro tho team work necessary to redeem pre-election promises. How About Home Rule ? All tho party platforms In Ne braska last your proclaimed devotion to tho principle of municipal home rule. Tho democratic state1 platform, for cxnraplo, said: Wo favor the. adoption of tho proposed constitutional amendment Riving to cltlea of moro than 5,000 population the prlvlleKo of framing their own charters consistent with the constitution and laws of the state. Tho right to frnmo their own char ters moans that in matters relating to their own local affairs tho people of each city In Nebraska should do clde, and tho legislature should keep out. It means that tho poople of each city should say whether they want to be governed by ward coun cltmcn or by city commissioners; whether they want to have a park board a pollco , board, a health board or a water board: of how many members each shall bo con stituted, and tho torms of office, jiny and powers. It means, particu larly with reference to their own municipal proporty, whother It be a city hall building, a fire englno house, a publla park .or ,n water works plant, tho people of each city should dotorinlno Its use, manage mont nnd policy, m Proclaiming tho'princlplo of homo rulo Is not consistent with nullifying It in practice. In othor words, Is a platform binding? Missouri's Monte Cristo, In Dumas' masterpiece "Tho "Count of Monta Cristo," each vie tun of rovengo Ib proclaimed by number by the horo ns "One!" "Two!" "Three!" Tho definite exclusion of Joseph W. Folk from tho Wilson cabinet makes it almost posBlblo to see the Honorable Champ Clark standing over his fallen foo, with his finger pointing aloft and shouting, "One!" Who olso Is on tho black list, and how many of thorn ho will Ret lu duo course of tlmo remains to bo seen oh tho great political melodrama-unfolds. Snow-Covered Wheat Fields. A comprehensive survey of tho win ter wheat bolt in Nebraska and ad jacout states shows Holds well cov ered wllh snow, which with a good stand, Is the beat condition that could bo desired at this season. Whllo tho precipitation for the en tiro winter has not been ns heavy as last yenr, or normal in some sec tions, recent snows have been most encouraging. All reports prior to tho laBt fall in Nebraska indicated a good stand of wheat and no suffer ing. The unusually long dry porlod, with intermittent winds nnd lower ing mercury, was not as unfavorable, experts say, us pessimistic and pre mature reports made out. At any rate, present prospects are most re assuring, Experience has taught, moreovor, tho utter folly of leaping to conclusions on wheat in tho mid dle west at this time of the year. Even with a shortage of Bnow, from which apparently we aro not to suf fer thlB year, wo always havo tho spring rains to count on. This is the corn and wheat belt and nature sees to H that these crops do not fail us. As exouBo for repudiating their oft-made promises of reduced rates, our Water board financiers declare the 10 per cnt collection discount will bo equal to $25,000 a year to the consumers, Thoy omit to say that against this Is placed the $100, 000 and more paid as taxes each year by the old water company, now unloaded on tho other taxpayers, lu the balance sheet, oven on that show ing, tho consumers are still upwards of 175,000 a year worse off than they woro before. It turns out that Mr. Bryan has dipped into the senatorial situation in Illinois, which, however, is not surprising. Mr. BryBn is very par ticular about thq kind of democratic senators elected from every state ex cept his own. i BacWatd liOOKltK This Di in Omaha, COMPILED ROM DEB TILLS aja S i Kinti Aitv -7. r DDa Thirty Ycnrs Ago Anions the resolutions presented to the council was one to act all ground for tho opening of Phil flberldan street, and another dispensing with the services of cily detective and boosting the pay of the police captain O.

The women of Jersey .City and Hohokon are making a fight to secure lower car steps. A messenger boy carrying a soap itox on his head went Into court on Friday with twenty-five fair objectors M prove that the step, as measured on the box. called for more agility than the new woman can demonstrate. John N. Antrut, the man accused of of. ferlng a bribe of tJO.000 to the superin tendent of Matteawan asylum for the ro- lease of Harry Thaw, has a fine record of shady transactions.

Scores of Detroltera skinned In his promoting schemes sorrowfully admit that hit nerv Is equal to any Job. Mrs. K. H.

A War of Words Two rival armies of women one In favor, the other fernlnst "votes for. women" have opened headquarters In Washington. Wherefore trouble Is brew ing hourly. Batteries of typewriters are trained on the respective camps, and oc casional skirmishing shots, well aimed, send the Innocent spectator to cover. Peace prospects have gone glimmering since the government decided to move the arm southward beyond range of the hostile warriors, causing observers on the spot to lament the tactics of military leaders. What Is an army for, anyway? Is It organized to maintain peace and order, or Is It looking for a flgnt? If the latter Inspires military concentration, why. It Is asked, send the army away from home? Naturally, all Washington is perplexed, agitated, squeamish. Bvery hour, possibly every minute, of the ap proaching battle arc freighted with pos sibilities of a row from which more thrills and canned glory may be cap tured than can be achieved beyond the Rio Grande. But, let that pass. If military strat egists persist in dodging trouble by hik ing for Texas, they must bear the cold, searching crltlclxm of hlstnrv. Still. It Is I mighty tough on the nonebmbatanta of Washington, patriots from near and far, thus to bo disturbed in the peaceful pur suit of Uncle Barn's coin. Apparently, the editors and correspondents are the main dependence of the menaced population. So far the editorial barricade withstands the shock of the typewriter batteries, deftly easing the strain on the gunners and preventing a waste of lovely am munition. As for marksmanship, the newspaper men agree. "It's a peach." The first gun unllmbercd by the anti suffragists sent In thin cracking shot: "Miss Minnie Bronson will have com plete chargo of affairs until the arrival of Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president o the npsociation, who will be nccom panted to this city by more than 200 workers for the cause. And they aro not coming on a Jl, 000,000 special clther They are coming down on a special train but It wilt be tho ordinary kind. While the suffragists delight In 'hiking,' we are sutlsflcd to arrive on the scene In the ordinary manner." Suffragtsta came back promptly with this sizzling bomb: "Open opposition to such tactics aa the blowing up of Lloyd-George's residence by the militant English suffragists was expressed by the leaders of the suffrage proceeslou to be held here March 3. It was declared, however that conditions in England and America were so different that action which would be entirely ou of place In the United States would be perfectly fitting on the other side of the ocean." - Again the antls' battery belched: "The first blow aimed at the suffragists was delivered today, when a letter waa received from Commissioner Rudolph stating that tho suffrage pageant March 3 would not have a 'guard of honor fur nlshed by the United State. Tho suf fragists have asked for a guard com posed of soldiers, sailors and marines. Bhould this bo granted It will look as ir the United States government sanc tioned votes for women. Cavalry will be In the parade, but not as a 'guard of honor' nor even as ah eocort. Then came the suffragists' hot reply: "Senator Polndcxtcr of Washington and Representative Murdock of Kansas sent word that they would march In the parade even If they had to hide from the sergeantatarms, who Is called upon to compel attendance of members in the crowded closing hours of the sesalons. Others are expected to follow suit, and tnasumch as there are nine suffragists or suffrago advocates in congrcas It looks as If there would be trouble In keeping a auorum." What the outcome of the fray may oe, no prophet or son of a prophet will ven ture n prediction. The rapid approacn or General Jones' army affords some hope of rellovlng tho tense situation, but odds of 10 to 1 can be had that the antls wilt not flrn the last word, Aimed at Omaha Blair Trrbune: Arthur Brandels haa do nated a suite of rooms In the Rrandels theater building at Omaha for the equal suffrage headquarters of Nebraska. The women are very grateful for the favor, hut was It not the women of Nebraska who helped to make this magnificent building possible? Kearney Democrat; If conditions con tinue It will' not be long until human Ufa will not be worth a cent In Omaha. A mutt was shot and mortally, wounded thero recently for 10 cents. Hastings Tribune: That Chicago minister who Is trying to boost Billy Sunday upon the people of Omaha should keep closer to home. Reformation, like charity, should begin at home. Plattsmouth Journal: Omaha should feel proud of the free advertising It is receiving In the papers in the western part of the state In regard to "white slnvery" being carried on In that city. These papers may u Justified In saying what they have, but we'll wager that there Is a hundred cities in the United States that are worso in every respect, morally speaking, than Omaha, and why should these papers single out the me tropolis of their own state as the most Immoral in the universe? They are do ing the state an Injury and Omaha does not deserve the slanders heaped upon It by our own state papers. Beatrice Sun: It Is customary for each legislature to send out a committee to Investigate elections In Omaha. This j car the senate committee reports that hon est elections are never heldd In reruln precincts, which haa come to 'be gen erally recognized as a fact. Just what Is to be done to remedy the condition t!in committee doesn't seem to know, l"ie World-Herald confidently offers th; aug gestlon that the law be changed which governs the method of choosing- Judgex and clerka of election. The ' Sun can't work up much enthusiasm over thU sug gestion. The law as It la now, defective though It may be. haa served very well in alt the thousands of preclncU of the state except a very few In one ward of Omaha. The "peculiar Institution" of that part of town was to be aboiished by a law passed two years ago, and wo were to have no more of the election scandals. But now we find that the same old methods are disgracing the el;ctiotu and the same vicious Influences are dolnj tjuilrvess at the old stand. We already have law enough. It l unfortunate that the good name of the greatest city m the state must be tarnished by auah per formances, but that Is one of the penal ties for being the greatest city in the state, 4 1 - - luGfettferD ox Heizulars nnd (lunckn. BRADSHAW. Neb., Feb. 26.-TO the Editor of The Bee: As one who is and has been a close reader of The Bee, we have been very much Interested In the fight you nre making on quack doctors, hut the following squib brought some thoughts to our mind that had not ap peared before, and It has set us to won dering why, and If such a condition did really exist. This squib of yours says: It seems to be against the ethics of the medical profession for a reputable doctor to Join a reputable newspaper In fighting a disreputable quack. The writer believes The Bee Is doing a great work along this line, ns well as along many other lines of reform. it would naturally occur to tho average citizen that all reputable doctors wquld gladly take up the fight against the quacks of their profession, and It could hardly seem possible that any such a thing oxlsted In the ethics of materia medica that would .be a bar to any repu table doctor Joining In a crusade ngatnst anything that might cast a single ray of suspicion upon their profession. How ever, It has been the observation of the writer, who has lived almost his allotted time, that wherever there are dupes there will be quacks. There are a class of people, however, that ore securing a pretty strong foot hold In the world, that are In no danger of falling Into tho hands of quack do -tors, from the fact that they have aban doned the use and practice of materia mcdlca and have adopted metaphysics, and from all appearances they are a pretty healthy class of people, too If anyone has any doubts In regard to what I have said, let them attend one of their religious services some Sunday morning and see for himself. JOHN B. DET Workmrn's Compensation. OMAHA, Feb. 26,-To tho Editor of The Bee: In reviewing the opinions of the Omaha lawyers on workmen's compen catlon as set forth In the Sunday Bee. I am particularly Impressed with the state ment of T. J. Mahoney In the paragraph which he says: The result of such a system would be te1e nUt, f bS-nss all small con-ffi!'- "1 ?ma" manufacturers, do Vm5? oilatever competition thcen smaller concerns now afford, nnd cen- 2ni"V? .Wh0,'e b,UB.lne,,s f "'"iSoy ment In the hands of fewer and bigger concerns. I think It will be found verv S ?"S ,to,avoJd regulation which will tend to the destruct on of the Hmaller employers and the building up of mo " ccrns "Wer han8 "f bl Now. as a matter of fact. Nebraska Is behind In manufacturing. Tho labor sit uation la such, both In scarcity and cost, that few If any of the standard lines can be made here. The question ot whether labor Is getting all it should from production will not bo discussed at this time. It Is only sufficient to note that manufacturers and contractors aro strictly In the hands of the labor ele ment. Countless value In manufactured goods aro annually shipped Into Omaha and Nebraska- and its tributaries that would naturally bo made In this neigh borhood wci-e It not for the fact that employers in nil lines are handicapped at every turn. If Nebraska wants to continue its slumber, let legislators of the classes described go with their altruistic propositions and Nebraska will be. as safe from accidents as when the Indians set their camp-fires on Council Bluffs. 1 can name a considerable number ot manufacturing propositions which have made a desperate attempt to do business west of tho Missouri river, but failed with gVcat loss of money and time be cause of the cost .of production, and this means overhead cost In which all thesu burdens must enter In my opinion no law affecting a man ufacturer or employer should bo con sidered before the burden of the employer Is carefully analyzed If the situation Is uncomfortable nothing will be gained by making It more eo, which In effect It would bo with a law compelling the employer to pay a mlnmum wage to a live workman and a big bonus for a dead one. With all due consideration for depend ent humanity, one accjdent may put the employer out ot business; where onu fam llv mlcht he temporarily benefited b) lawful confiscation of this man's business, an undetermined number of other families may suffer by the lna blllty of tho employer to procecu any farther. EMPLOYE". Fnollna; the Poor People. OMAHA, Feb. 36. To the Editor of The Bee: We have all read almost dally of tho troubles of tho people and our world famous Water board,, either about tho new main or the favoritism In rebating and other sound buslncs methods ot pur eateomed board. Tho notice recently published that we were to be given a 10 per cent reduction was duly read and since w have been wondering whether the board believes In the old adago of P. T Barnum that a sucker Is born every minute. It makes me sore to think that any onb would be. so bold as to publish such a statement as that on the eve of sending me a bill showing an Increase ot 40 per cent. My water bill for years has aver- aged SS cents per month, except during tho summer, when It Is, of course, much larger on account of sprinkling. My meter rate was satisfactory to the old water company, but not so to our own city-owned company, so will have to pay Co cents per month In order that his gracious majesty representing and con trolling the Water board will bo able to publish a notice that the earnings of the water plant show an enormous Increase, but will he say it is at the cost of the poorer class? Just stop to think; 15,000 poor people at is cents per monin means wjuu per year, which will show up pretty well "In the re port. This order that EO cents per month shall he. the minimum cost Is, in my estimation, robbery pure and simple, be cause It is taking money for what It does not furnish. When we wero fooled into voting for the purchase of the water works we were promised reduction in rates and wa got it (In the neck); then last summer we were not allowed to water our lawns, even though, we that had -meters, were willing to pay for It. and those that had paid their $5 tor tha privilege were denied It and they were likewise robbd of what the) had paid for. 1 suppose the next order will be for us to till In our cisterns, so that even the htavens shall ba denied competition with pur .sacred Water board.
