It 1 Interesting to know that
Governor Sulier of New York and
Boas Murphy of Tammany are again
at jeaco, but on whpse terms peace
waa effected Is pot stated.
The Home Rule Principle.
Urorybody favors tlio principle of
home rule, nntl particularly the prin
ciple of home rulo In city govorn
mortt. Hut, strangely enough, when
It comos to applying the principle,
It loutloat advocates too often hunt
for an excuse to opposo it.
Horo In Nebraska we have taken
a tromonclous forward stop In the
adoption of a constitutional anicncl-
mont. clvlnc homn rule tn nil clttnfll
having a population of moro than1
5,000--n, step which It has taken us
years to mnko. But ovon-before the
first homo rulo city charter Is
framed, wo meet with "all , sorts of
schemes to Infringe and curtail that
power. Wo -refer not only t6 tho
attempt to take away from Omaha
the managoment of tho w'a'tor plant,
bought with $7,000,000 of Its own
peoplo'B money, but also to tho ef
forts to dcprlvo Omaha, Lincoln and
all other 'cltleg of their right to reg
ulate." public 'service corporations,
whoto very llfo rosts on franchises
granted by each city, and transfer
ring that power to a stato commis
sion whoso mombors may como from
villages or rural communities with
out tho slightest experience with a
streot railway, a gus works or an
olcctrlc lighting plant.
It Is rehinrkablo, too, how those
who talk homo rulo one day and for
got it tho noxt fall to comprehend
that It must bo n genoral principle
One ot thoBO weathorvancs, criticis
ing tho resolution of tho charter
convention, denouncing proposed
ovasloll of home rulo, declares that
there would bo some show of reason
for South Omaha, Dundee and Flor
onco to object, but that Omaha
should not do so. Is It possible that
homo rulo Is good for our neigh
bors, but not for us? Should
Omaha, while Insisting on homo rulo
as against lntoreforenco by South
Omaha or Couticil Dluffs, reach out
to doprlvo South Omaha of Its right
to homp rulo In Its own affairs?
Suppose conditions reversed and tho
town ot Floronce, In which tho
pumping plant Is located, had
bought our water works and tried
to como over Into Omaha and tic-
prlvo us of any volco in tho matter
.of our water sorvlep, and of control
of our parks nnd streets, would wo
not rightfully resout It?
It Is a poor rulo that does not
work both wnys. Tho homo rulo
prlnclplo Is not for Omnha alono, not
for South Omnha alone, nor for Lin
coin alono, but It Is for ovory city In
Nebrnska over 5,000 population.
Streets as Skating Rinks.
Tho approach of spring wcathor
will Invito children by tho scoroa to
BtreoU; and sidewalks for rollor
Bkatlngfc.und. therefore It may. not
up out or pinco to can ho.nttontlon
of jparprila and guardians' to'its peril
who'n unrestricted. Mo'tbrmpn,
ors, ot. automobiles and horso-drawn
vohlcles appreciate the " danger' or
street skating, and som'o of them
havo had bitter experiences with It.
Last season a little child was ground
to death beneath tho wheels ot u
north sldo car, and ovldontly not
because of carelessness tho camion
could avoid, either. In another city,
only a fow days ago, a similar nccl
dont happened. It Is a terrlblo
thing when a light-hearted child
moetB such a fate, but children In
their glee nnd mirth aro not npt to
Boo tho wagon or car or auto until
too lato. For thut reason thp little
folks should not bo permitted to
skate on tho. busier thoroughfares
without watchful supervision, and
should bo warned ovon when playing
on others, for -all pity, streets are
used for moro or loss traffic.

Wisconsin and Nebraska.
In connection with tho proposed
enactment of workmen's compensa
tion laws, it is pertinent to noto the
commendation of tho Wisconsin law
by tho Outlook, which carries tho
name of the recent presentlal candi
date of tho progressive party as its
contributing editor. This law, whoso
constitutionality has already been
successfully tested in tho courts
seems to appeal particularly to tho
Outlook, which In the curront Issu
says:
There are now about 90,000 employes
under tho act workmen whoso employers
have voluntarily agreed to settle thel
damage suits according to a schedulo of
rates fjxed by tho Industrial commission
paying for all Injury except that result
Ing from willful negligence on the "part
of the workmnn. The fact that few cases
are brought beforo tho Industrial com
mission because of disagreement of
parties, or of tho unwillingness of either
to abide by the act as agreed, speak;
well ror Its fairness, A study of th
awards madn In tho few cases that th
commission hn-s been called upon to do
cldo leaves no doubt ns to tho benefits to
tho workman. Moreover, all employe
report that their men, "seem satisfied
with tho act."
Incidentally, It may be said that
tho bill recommended for Nebraska
by the majority of our workraon'i
compensation commission was based
on, and followed closely, the Wlscon
sin law with tho exception that It
sought to mako It more genoral and
compulsory In ordor to extend Its
bonoflts to all workingmen rather
than to thoBO only whoso employers
consent to accopt It.
David Livingstone.
When Dnvld Livingstone died, It
Is 'said that somo of his African
convorts beforo embalming his body
for return to England removed his
heart and burled It In the soli of
the pcoplo to whom in life it was
given. And, no doubt, that Is as
tho great missionary would havo
had It. Ho sacrificed all that most
men hold dear to carry tho gospel
to Africa, and ns ho sot out for tho
third time from England ho avowed
novor to roturn until ho had pene
trated tho Dark Continent as tho
emUsary of Cod. It was little won
der, thoroforo, that tho sturdy
Scotchman rofusod to return with
Henry M. Stnnley, who found him,
boforo ho considered his mission
doilt), 'though 'all but exhausted upon
tho burning sliores of Lake Tan
ganylka.
History holds no flnor example of
devotion to duty as It la conceived
than that which mado of Livingstone
tho pioneer of civilization in that
forbidding land. It .was from Liv
ingstone then, thnt Stanloy received
his Inspiration to cross Africa and
to work also ns a missionary of civ
tlizatlon among tho tribes, nB woll
as an explorer. ,
Nor should It bo forgotten that
Stanloy, whon asslgnod by tho Now
York Herald to find Llvlngstono, sot
out upon his perilous Journoy from
Omaha, where ho had boeu doing
nowspapor work. His autobiog
raphy contains a graphic sketch of
that famous adventure and the price
two men paid to perform such sac
rlflclal service which history has
writton opposite tho names of Llv
lngstono and Stanloy, though Stan
ley ' magnanimously denies to him-
solf,. any claim of equal distinction
with Livingstone.
Alger and Ballinger.
Americana perhaps aro not far
enough off from tho events to givo
tho correct perspective to either the
Alger ot Balllngor Incldonts in their
political history. In tlmo we may
como to view both in truer light. In
tho mcantlmo it is interesting to
havo (he version of a careful stu
dent of contemporary history, who
might bo considered entlroly un
biased In his deductions, A. Maurlco
Low, the able Washington cor
respondent of the London National
Rovlow, In tho current number of
that magazluo he says:
At tne oiofo or me apaman war it waa
oil rotten meat and the medical arrange
ments were Inadequate, the public
clamored for n. victim and Mr. Alger,
the new secretary ot war, was made the
Hoapegout. Mr. Alger was not responsi
ble for tho country's unpreparcdness for
war; the blamn rested with congress,
which hod refused to muke the necessary
appropriations or to provide for u mod
ern military system; but dead or de
feated niemberB ot congress could not be
crucified, while Mr, Alger could easily
bo brought to the place of execution.
Mr. McKlnley had either to stand by Mr.
Alger because he knew he was unjustly
accused and risk a loss of popularity, or
throw over his secretary ot war as a
concession to public opinion.- This He
did; and the publlo having been given a
victim, was satisfied 'and Mr. McKlnley
lost none of his popularity.
, Mr. Ballinger, Mr. Taft' secretary ot
the interior, was the target for the at
tacks of men who were looking for an
opportunity to Injure the pronldent. and
a bitter campaign was carried on to
drive Mr. Ballinger out of the, cabinet.
Convinced of his secretary's Integrity.
and his correct administration of hid of- J
Taft rcdiHid to Hppi'.i , -4
by dismissing Mr Ualllnger
nnu
and his retention as secretary undoubt
edly was otie of the causes to weaken
his (Mr. Tafts) hold on the country.
While this may not be tho tlmo to
give tho Balllngor Incidont Its proper
sotting In history, It Is cafe to say,
with reference to Mr. Tnft's connec
tion with It, neither his honesty of
purpose nor his courage of conviction
will over be opon to question.
The Open Door for Railroads.
California, having succeeded,
through Its State Railway commls
slon, in defeating the original plan
for unmerglng tho Union Pacific-
Southern Pacific, Is now attempting
to dictate a substitute plan that will
mako tho Benlcla cut-off nn open
door, admitting all railways that
may desire to run Into San Francisco
over that route. Tho Benlcla cut
off crosses an arm of the San Fran
cisco bay and forms tho most direct
route between Sacramento and San
Francisco. It is owned by tho
Southern Pacific and has been used
exclusively by the Harrlman lines.
Tho Western Pacific, tho Gould
road, Is demanding admission to this
door with the backing of tho clamor
ous Callfornlans.
In tholr appeal for this concession
tho Union Pacific bridge over the
river at Omaha 1b cited as an open
door precedent justifying tho samo
thing at Benlcla, In the fact that
many roads entering Omaha use tho
Union Pacific bridge on equal tormB.
On the other Bide, however, It Bhould
bo borno In mind that theso roads
entering Omaha servo as rich feed
ers for Union Pacific westward busi
ness and aro in no way competitors.
Nevertheless, In this fight of the
rival roads for preferred position In
the unmerger, this question of tho
open door seems to havo become tho
main Issue.
Our South American Trade.
According to reliable sources, tho
exports from tho United States to
South America will approximate
$150,000,000 for tho fiscal year end
ing Juno 30, 1D13, as' against $41,
000,000 in 1003, a very fair gain for.
tho decade. Our Imports from South
America will approximate $240,000,
ooo, an against $107,000,000 for
1903. Tremendous Increases in our
commerce with South America were
made in tho last four years. Tako
for instance our exports to Argen
tina, which increased from $32,000,
000 in 1008 to $53,000,000 in 1912;
to Urazll, $19,490,077 in 1908 to
$34,678,081 in 1912; to Ch.llo,
$9,194,050 In 1908 to $15,491,84G
In 1912.
ThlB Is tho period In which tho
Taft-Knox dollar diplomacy was de
volopod. And those results are qutto
as tangible, wo think, as some of tho
biased criticism of ' that policy.
which, by tho way, President Wilson
seems to have adopted. President
Taft upon assuming office, was con
fronted by a discouraging altuatlon
In South America. Thero was lack
of congonlal relations with ub In
many states, keen estrangement in
others. A practical policy, ono that
would knit together bonds of com
mercial Intorcourso aa woll as Inter
national amity, was needed. Dollar
diplomacy filled tho bill, performing
tho dual function. Now, it Is espe
cially gratifying that 85 per cent of
our Immense merchandise sent to
South America Is In manufactured
articles, as compared, for instanco,
with 47 per cent manufactures of all
our exports. Tho United States must
load In manufacturing exports to this
country, but wo were not making en
couraging gains In that direction up
to a few years ago,
Tho foreign Insurance companies
would naturally like to squeeze
down harder on the home insurance
companies. That is the eternal law
of business competition, In making
its laws, however, It Is up to Ne
braska to hold the scales even, and
glvo tho home insurance companies
an equal chance, subject to fullest
protection for all policy holdorB.
"The water district bill Is tho

AN EASTER POEM.
When from tho Mount the Virgin wcnt-
The awful Mount of Calvary
Her slender form was weak and bent
"Thy sorrow Is too great for thee,
Ah, thdu hast tasted blttor wine,
Gethsemane Is ills and thine,"
Said Magdalen, nil wan and spent
Then came a woman through the gloom,
Her eyes like shadows In. the. light
Of torches on the Mount of doom
She -seemed a lost ghost hi the night,
Her white hair hung unkempt and dank.
From her the Magdalen, scornful, shrank
- As ono who seeB n loathely sight.
Then Mary, Mother, sped as fast
As mothers go when young babes cry
(O gentle heart! O love so vast!)
And klesed the woman's eyelids dry!
"O thou to my eyes raise thy face!"
"Not I most cursed of all the race
I In whoso soul all hopo Is past." t
i
"To thine my sorrow Is as naught,1'
Tho Mother said. The woman wept,
"I Judas bore!" The soldiers caught
Tho words, and spat. "Yea, him I kept
Safe In my arms, heart to my heart.
His shame and death are my part
In life." Her shrieks o'er all sounds
swept.
The gracious John looked stern and cold,
He tried to part the close-linked pair,
But Mill tho Mother would enfold
The woman of the wild despair
"My Son is Mercy thou shalt see
The boy that laughed upon thy knee."
Said Magdalen. "The traitor sold,"
"Hush, hush, O friend my IJfe, my Sunt
I see the spear." the Mother said,
"And I will ask the spear pierced One
For this for thee when thou llest dead.
Thou from thy woo shalt find release,
The torture of thy heart shalt eearfc.
Him thou shalt meet." "Ah, Js't well
done
Said Magdalen, "to give him peace?"
