;
The member of the Water board
jrunning as the board's candidate for
.the charter convention was beaton
:by more than two to one. A hint to
bo -wise lawmaker at Lincoln ought
,io be sufficient.
How a man working as a janitor
for $40 a month could give tho 1m
prcsBlon that he was worth $50,000
js a little hard to understand, al
though people havo beon known to
,jfool themselves even worse than
that.
Judging from the small voto
polled by the Water boarder for
charter maker the popularity of our
hydraulic politician with water con
'burners seems to have waned with
the testing of his theories and
schemes for operating the plant.
Now, let Mr. Heafey get up In open
meeting and move to put Into effect
at once not noit year, not next
month,, but, now the reduced ached
ulo of water rates, repeatedly rroru
Ised, lowering the maximum from 3D
j cents to 2-6 cents per 1,000 gallons.

Home Bale's Strongest Point.
In olecting fifteen members of the
charter convention, one moro step
has bcon taken toward putting Into
operation for Omaha the home-rule
powers conferred on all Nebraska
cities by tho recently adopted con
stitutional amendment.
Tho principle of homo rule Ib
everywhere accepted, and it is gen
erally recognized that most of tho
evils In our municipal government
spring from perpetual charter tinker
ing by long distance legislatures
made up largely of men unfamiliar
with municipal problems.
A homo-rule charter by no means,
assures n perfect charter, but It may
bo counted on to make tho. kind of a
charter that the people of the city
for the tlmo want. More Important
still, It keeps In the hands, of the peo
ple of each city power to change
and Improve without being compelled
to run, us now, to the legislature for
every correction or amendment.
Tills feature In particular should
be not only a boon to tho city, but at
tho same tlmo a welcomo relief to
tho legislature.
Hag the Governor Backbone ? .
Tho rejection of the governor's
Board of Control appointments sug
gests a mutual understanding be
tween tho different parties and fnc
tlona In the senate, Tho constitu
tion says the governor shall namo
tho members of the Board of Con
trol subject to confirmation by tho
sonato, but the senators evidently
want to reverse the proceeding and
namo ono or all of them themselves.
Wo shall now see how much back
bone tho govornor has.
Parcel Pott a Business Stimulator.
Parcel post Is a business stimu
lator, as shown In postofflco reports.
New York 'had an Incrcaso of moro
than 500,000 pieces of parcel post
matter In Fobruary over January.
Tho Chicago office Increased Its pos
tal dork forco fifty on March 1
and another fifty on March 4, and
still tho service Ib said to bo so badly
clogged because of tho parcel post
that at least 100 moro clerks must
bo engaged. Theso conditions In the
two largest cltios aro comparatively
general over tho country. Tho effect
upon all lines of mercantile bus!
noss Is, therefore, apparent.
Yot tho government Ib proceeding
to groator utilization of Its postal
system. On July 1 It. will Install its
new 0. O. D. servico, certain to stim
ulate trade. On payment of a feo
of 10 cents by tho Bonder Undo Sam
will undertako to collect from tho
addressco the prlco of tho artlolo
sent by parcel post, togothor with
tho postage duo. For Instance, If Mrs.
Jones' happens to boo. something., in
a storo aho likes, bUt'bus no mono
to buy. aho may make tho ourchaso
and tho postman wlll'dollver and col
lect for, the morehant. Incidentally,
whllo offering great accommodation
nnd facility for trade, such a system
will tend to complicate tho problom
of the high cost of living, perhaps,
aB, Indeed, most of our advanced
methods do, but wo Insist on tho ad
vancement, so must expect to pay tho
price.
Anti-Ncpotiim Order.
If he will only stick to It, Presi
dent WIlBon Is to bo commended for
putting tho ban In tho beginning
upon nopotlsm In his administration.
"No Wilson kin need apply," is a
m'ghty good slogan to enforce. A
cousin of tho president appllod for a
foreign appointment, which was tho
occasion of tho presidential edict.
Tho oxamplo should be followed by
tho membors of congress, who havo
always moro or less abused tho priv
ileges of appointing relatives to
pfflco, It stands to reason that there
are plenty of efficient men and
wornon' outsldo the official families
available for all tho positions the
administration has to offer. Tho
general effect, of course, in nepotism
Is ultimate Inefficiency, when the
government la entitled to tho very
boat sorvlqo for tho monoy.
The Mexipan Treasury.
The reputed and apparent eager
ness of the prosent regime to
restore, not only peaco, but commor-
cla prosperity In Mexico may bo bet
ter appreciated in tho light of a
statement attributed to Porftrlo
Diaz, that when ho loft office there
was $20,000,000 in speclo In Mex
ico's public treasury, while only $45,
000 remained (when Madero was de
posed. Yot it is scarcely possible
that tho cost to tho government of
theao three years of revolution may
be reckoned even in the difference
betweon these two sums. Comment
Ing upon Moxlcp'a Intontlon of float
Jng a loan of $50,000,000, ox-President
Diaz is quoted as saying that
he regards tho situation tn Mexico
as very grave, especially as to
finances. Mexico's prodigious wealth
of natural resources will when de
veloped produce prosperity, but peace
must come first. Paralyzed by re
ourrlng war, tho country's resources
are not productive. It is this mater
ialistic view that Is manifestly up
permost with tho present regime,
which has already grimly proved its
bollof In the necessity of the iron
band as the only reliance for Mex
ico's immediate future.
If a model city charter can bo
written in thirty minutes, our peo
ple overlooked the most Important
person they should have chosen
among their charter makers.

OXFORD, Neb., March ll.-To the Kd
Itor of The Bee: I heard yesterday the
statement that In the ruins of the Dewey
a Bible was found, Illegible except two
marked parages, one Obedtah 1:18: "And
the. houso of Jacob shall be atire, and
the' house of '.Joseph aflame, and the
noiise of Esau as stubble; fire they shall
kindle lh them, and' devour them, and
there nhall hot be any remaining of the
house of Esau, for the Iord hath spoken
It"
The other passage. Mlcah 11:9-10: 'The
women of my people have ye oast out
from their pleasant houses; from their
children havo ye taken away my glory

Editor of The Bee: Let me address the
citizens of Omahai South Omaha and
surrounding suburbs:
Aro you going to allow yourselves to
become descendants of Benedict Arnold?
ThlH you certainly will do If you do not
remqustrate In the most severe terms
against a taxation Imposed upon you by
tne would-be "The Almighty" Water
board.
I ask of this "Water board or any in
dividual member thereof, where they
derlvo their authority from to compel
tho people who hired them to Install
meters, and what Ms more arbitrary still,
to charge people having meters a sum
In excess of what the meters show con
sumed for tho month. Can It be that
tho people of this community aro going
to allow this so-called Water board to
Impose upon them a tax that Is more un
just than was tho tax Imposed .upon the
colonists when they, driven to despair
by unjust taxation, took and dumped the
tea Into Boston harbor.
Fellow citizens, I sincerely hope jou
will demand that this piece of Injustice
be stamped put even though It requite
the removal, of every member of thla
board by legal force.

rubbish, while tho walks were covered

A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN.
flca'mllnhvlnna In Oninlio ,Tf
OMAHA, March' 1!. To tho Editor of
The Bee: On, no, only every sixth per
son In Omaha Is Scandinavian, that Is
a Swede, Dane or Norwegian. Yet a
news Item In The Bee' for last evenlg
says: "The Scandinavian" population of,
Omaha Is- comparatively small." The
reporter for that article must have an old
census back of him. I Imagine.
The Noon Day club, a Swedish busi
ness men's organization, numbers over
120 members, and yet Includes but a por
tion of the Swedish business men of
Omaha. There are two Swedish churches
In Omaha where 'on any given Sunday
you will find the largest audiences at
tending service of any Protestant church
In the city.
Perhaps tho "Scandinavians" have not
troubled tho political world for positions
and bonce the writer may think their
number Is few. We wish to give the gen
tle hint that when they onco awaken to
united action politically some folks will
be a bit surprised, I ween. But Scan
dinavians prefer creative work In and
for their country and therefore do not
Inflict themselves and their numbers on
the total population.
Perhaps the Noon Day club better give
an Invitation to this same article writer
to attend one of their meetings and ob
tain some Interesting facts as to the
Swedes In Omaha, followed by a similar
Invitation from say the editor of "The
Danish Pioneer," who knows his ten
thousand Danes In Omaha as well as any
man here.

Spring Is coming; soon the leaf-mold
In the woods will feel a stir;
Soon the violet will be peeping
From her warm, dark comforter;
Soon the little brook will babble,
As all proper brooks should do,
Calling Into life tho fishes
That shall bite for me and you.
II.
Spring Is coming; soon the clover
Will be sprouting nt our feet;
Soon the nlr'll bo full of fragrance
Frem the breath of blossoms sweet;
Soon the robin nnd the bluebird
will arrive and settle down
And tho saucy dandelion.
Come to polkadot tho town.
III.
Spring Is coming; soon' the picture s ,
Will come down frpm off the wall;
Soon will rugs and strips'' of carpet
Be rolled up from stair and hall!
Soon will broom and mop and scrub
brush Gaily to the onslaught muster:
And the alr'll be full of microbes
Fleeing from the feather duster.

Spring-Is coming;-from the office
Comes dear father on the trpt
With a question on his features

I will show you how oven a poor man or wo
man, working for small wages, can start' a mall

smalt capital. Just a few dollars will give you a
start, and you can build this slender investment
Into a comfortable fortune. By my co-operative-plan-
I will actually start you on the road to suc

the heel of oppressive poverty, can win freedom
from the galling yoke of the boss' Iron hand and
build themselves a business of their own which
will pay rich returns In wealth, happiness and
freedom from worry over the future of dear ones.
