President Wilson. would shine as a precedent smasher. Dut there aro somo places where he even draws the line for example, he has not yet takes, the vice president into bis cab inet ) Now as soon as President Wilson succeeds in revising tho tariff and distributing those 1,400 Jobs among the 181,000 applicants to the satisfac tion of all, he may proceed to the next order of business feeling fairly good. Suppose some one should proposo tho same scheme for the new charter to put it into effect at once. Ir respective of the wishes of the peo ple, with the proviso that they may have a chance to vote in two or three rears, whether than want to keep it bt not Test of the Tariff. 1 Mono but a tariff export, and then' only after careful comparisons, can! pass a welL founded Jttdgment on what effcctB may be oJtpected to fol low tho proposed tariff changes. Thoi people in general, howover, will hnvoj their own test for whatever legisla tion may bo enacted, and this' test will be simple. Democratic opponents of protection havo charged the tariff with bolng responsible for tho high cost of living, and have denied, that tho tariff duties are instrumental In any porcoptlblo degree In maintain ing tho wages of American worklng m on at a level above those of wngo workers abroad. Tho popular test of the. tariff then, in tho long run will be whether it roducos the prlcos of commodities commonly consumed to an appreciable oxtcnt, without lowering tho scale of wages or throw ing American workmen out of em ployment. The democratic tariff will como up to specifications of platform prom ises only by noticeably pulling down tho high cost of living, and at tho samo timo keeping up the high rato of wages, Belief and Restoration. A distinct lino of demarcation can be drawn between the work of relief and the work of restoration. The re lief work almB at caring for im mediate and pressing necessities. No storm victim should bo permitted to go without food, clothing and shel ter, hut help along these lines, barring a comparatively fow excep tional cases, ought to be Btrlctly tem porary. With tho business district untouched, all employment unim paired, and the payrolls unchecked, another week ought to cut off tho vast majority of tho demands for as sistant of this kind. Tho restoration work, on tho other hand, must go slower, and last longer. Tho adjuBtmont of equities and obligations will toko timo, and tho damaged houso ownerB who can look out for thomsolveB must bo sifted from the othors who noqd help. The rebuilding operations can bo set in actual motion only when the proliminary complications oro cleared away. Tho present month ought to soo tho end practically to relief work, after which all onergies may bo cen tered on restoration. President and Congress. Mr. Wilson's announced dotormlna tlon to address tho congress in per son, lnstoad of sending IiIb message to bo read by a clerk, has occasioned intorest that has overshadowed evon tho tariff talk for tho mpmont. Just why this should bo so 1b not exactly apparont; it has not been tho custom for mftny yoars for the oxccutlvo to personally address tho legislative, bo causo a long line of presidents have rigidly observed both tho letter and tho spirit of tho constitutional bar rier between tho oxocutlvo and tho legislatlvo branchos of tho govern ment. This inhibition Is easily trace able to condltons that prevailed and theories that existed at tho timo tho constitution was framod. Tho wis dom of ho practice may woll bo ques tioned. No possible harm can como from tho' president going to the halls of congress to deliver hla message. If it should develop that thlB is not meroly a "democratic" poso, but a real offort to koop closor together tho branches of tho government that havo froquontly of lato years been at loggerheads, tho breaking of the precodont will havo boon woll done. Dut if It leads later to embarrassing or strained rolatlons botwoon execu tive and legislative, then the prac- tico will again have to be abandoned. Advertising for Publio Servants. WANTED By the Board of Education of Kansas City; Tho most up-to-date young public school educator in the country to become superintendent of schools here when Superintendent Greenwood resigns. The Job now pays W,600 a year. Also, a live wire, practical man, thor oughly educated in his line, to become superintendent of the vocational nnd night schools here. Also the best high school educator In the country to become superintendent of the high schools here. They practically Uavs-no supervision now.. ... Also, first-class men for principals ot high schools. Theso Jobs now pay 1S.S00. -This advertisement recently ap peared in Kansas City newspapers. It is unusual In the United States to advertise for public servants, though it is done frequently in Europe, espe cially Germany, whose municipalities aro run by experts famous for ef ficient administration. It is custo mary for Gorman cities to advertise for mayors, engineers, oto. This tends to remove city government from politics, Just as the schools are supposed to bo out ot politics. The Kansas City project will be 'worth watching for. Several fea tures, aside from the mala one, are Interesting. For instance) note the demand for tho very best talent at salaries fair, but not unusually large, and the appeal for men as high school principals. One might Justly conclude that Kansas City's schools were not being satisfactorily con ducted and that a determined feeling had set in for improvement. This tariff revision by separate schedule seems to have looked better to the democrats wnen they wore merely an obstructive minority than it doea now when they are the re sponsible majority.

This leemed to nettlo Taylor, who deliberately walked Qondlng and fanned Companion nnd proceeded to dispose of Bobby Carter, who picked out one he liked and sent It hurtling down the third baso line, scoring Dolan and Thomas.

A mighty responsibility now rests upon the relief commission In the distribution of these funds. The poor folks who were left destitute should be, given first chance and their homes rebuilt and even fur nished. Not a dollar should go to the rich man who had ample Insurance or who even If he did not, Is perfectly able to rebuild. Itlverton Review; Out of the terrible disaster that came to Douglas county, comes a most refreshing view of the hu manltarlanlsm of man. We learn that the Douglas county taxpayers Intend to answer tho question, "Am I my brother's keeper," In spirit and in truth. They are asking the state legislature to pass a law that will .permit of them bonding Douglas countjifor the purpose of fur nishing money to loan io the unfortun ates In the city of Omaha, to replace and to rebuild their homes. In other words, thoso who are fortunate are ready to ubo their credit and to obligate their belong ings In behalf of those who have lost their all and are dependents. This Is Indeed a refreshing; sight Geneva Signal: Some of the organiza tions In Omaha boastfully proclaimed that ithat city did not need any relief tiom the outside world following its Easier "storm, but the people of other parts of Nebraska nnd elsewhere will probably not pay much attention to such foolish talk, some of the worst destruc tion wrought by the storm was In thoso sections of the city where colored people lived In dense groups. The peo ple of Omaha aro not going to give those people all of the relief, or the kind of re lief they will need. Neither Is there any reason why the outside world should not help. Omaha will not be damaged com mercially if Its people, accept relief, and undoubtedly It is the commercial feature that was given chief consideration when the announcement was sent out that Omaha did not need help. Nebraska City Press: What was that eastern scientist hinting at when he said the Omaha big wind originated In Lin coln? Blair Tribune: Mr. Dunn, a flno singer of Omaha, thinks he Is a hoodoo to tho churches as several of them In which he has sung have been ruined by storm, struck by lightning or stepped on by an elephant This lakes a big load off our mind. We feared that the fact that some of the Nebraska editors who had been Invited to occupy the pulpits of the Omaha churches on June 1 among whom are Mr. Van lAcusen of trj Pilot and the Tribune editor might have had some thing to do with the recent wrecking of the Omaha churches, but it is very sweet of Mr. Dunn assuming the responsibility. Fremont Tribune: It was in a spirit of self-sufficiency that Mayor Dahtman and the Omaha Commercial club gave It out that no old for Omaha was necessary from the outside It would have been fine had this been truo; but, unfor tunately, it was not. The need at Omaha la extremely urgent and every generous Impulse may well be registered In dollars. The Commercial club' has backed up. Nebraska City Preea: Omaha Is a won derfully progressive metropolis and Its growth during the last dozen years has been the pride of Nebraska. The message sent out by the Omaha Commercial club to the purport that Omaha Is able to take care of Its own has done the city In calculable harm and has diverted atten tion that should haye been focused on Its troubles. Tho spirit that prompted the commercial organizations to say that help would not be needed Is an admirable quality, but the effect of this near-boast on the real sufferers .from the tornado the hundreds who are without a cent on earth has been a bad one.

WeesMeil ox An Ontrnae on Poor People. OMAHA, April 7. To the Editor of The Bee: We would like to know If the Water board has taken over tho whole water plant of Omaha as owners? If not, who gave them the right to tax the consumers J1M.O0O per year for hydrant rentals? Who gave them the right to charge, what they Call, the minimum rate of 50 cents per month, after compelling the consumer to pay $11,25 for a meter? Since the tornado the writer has had occasion to visit and talk with a large 'number of the common people, like my self, of Omaha; many of these people leave home In the morning, both husband and wife, and not to return until night, hence they use very little water; these people use on ah average ISO gallons per month or twenty-four cubic feet. The old water company never charged these smalt consumers to exceed 35 cents per 1,000 gallons, but the present self-styled owners have put In force what they call a minimum, and all these small con sumers have to pay for 1,000 gallons of water per month whether they uee It or not, and with the bill Is a notice, "If not paid promptly the water will be shut off. All right-minded people consider this nn outrage on the poor people of Omaha, and It the consumers generally had a chance to vote on tho question they would voto the water plant back Into Private ownership In double quick time. Here's hoalng that the legislature will give us a square deal. J. G. A. "0,nlvern" for New Hotel Nitnie. LINCOLN, Neb., April 6.-T0 the Edi tor of Tho Bee: Some time ago In re sponse to your request for suggestions for names for the proposed $1,000,000 hotel at Omaha the writer offered three names awocinted with the earliest his tory of tho state. Among them was "Qulvera." The recent discoveries of Dr. Glider, which Is verified upon fur ther exploration, will confirm tho claim for this name beyond all question for Omaha's new hostelry. "Tho Qulvera" will fix the association of Nebraska's earliest history In the mind of travelers and give Omaha world-wide ( celebrity. W. S. DELANO. , Call It Pernccntton. OMAHA. April 7. To the Editor of The Bee: It makes a true American's heart blood boll to read ot the way the English courts and the rabble are persecuting the suffragettes. And what do tho women want? 8lmply the right of petition and to participate In enacting laws, or in other words, to havo equal rights with men in choosing their representatives vho enact their laws. When wo think of tho frail and timid Mrs. Pankhurst, who was here but a few months ago, being sentenced by a bull headed English Itoberspterre to three years if prison and when wo sec her In our mlnd's-eye facing a cruel Judge, defying him to do his worst, ending with theso words, "It Is my only ambition to live tn see the women and mothers of England have their equal rights with men to vote; but I shall 'not partake ot your prison food, and If I die I die," one Is forcibly carried to Patrick Henry, when he uttered the Immortal words, "I know .not what course others may take, but as for me give me liberty or give me death." George III and his satel lites would, gladly. If they cduld, have beheaded Patrick Henry John Adams arid others, and these brave women of Eng land are asking and demanding the same as our forefathers the right of petition and the right to choose their represen tatives. Long live the suffragettes. SYMPATHIZER. The Woman's Clan Benefit. OMAHA, April 6. To the Editor of Tho Bee: It seems a pity that such slight comment was elicited by the first dra matic entertainment given hero for the "relief fund the two performances of fered by the Womans' club, assisted by members of the Players' club. Prepared at top speed and under high pressure, with all the consequent handicaps, they were. In spite of this even not consider ing this at all remarkably smooth-run-nlng and successful, a highly creditable result The ploys were brief and sketchy, separatod by a long Interlude ot ex tremely pretty dances with as graceful a troupe ot porformers as we often see on our stage. The dramatic -contingent Included some ot the best amateur talent in the city, who accepted the drawbacks of the situation with the best possible grace, for the sake of the good cause, and throw themselves heartily Into their : work giving their best efforts for the success of the undertaking. It would seem only fair that the gener ous, painstaking spirit, at least, ot such performers should be recognized. It less than usual Is said about them It is no doubt because of the general absorption In those very conditions which appealod to thtlr own sympathies. It Is pretty certain, however, that their efforts were appreciated by everyone who saw them. A special word ought to be said about one of their number, Who assumed a rolo that she had never even seen before, and played It after only five days' study, most effectively. Mrs. Harry Doorly per formed this feat taking the part of "Hannah," in the comedy sketch called "Raspberry Shrub Sec." presented at the matinee a trying, highly unattractive character, of broadly comical makeup, to which Mrs. Doorly did full and unrelent ing Justice. It was hard to realize her identity, for those who have seen this charming amateur actress In such roles as she has usually played. To assume a character of that ungracious type must require great artlstlo enthusiasm, as well as great self-effacement, which Is gen-, erally well recognized and admired by the andlence. The scenery employed for these plays was very happily chosen, simple but agreeable In 'every Instance, and In the dancing Interlude quite beautiful. The performers, the club members, and thoso managing the whole affair, should be complimented on the vigor with Which they carried through the swiftly Impro vised affair, and on Its very attractive nature.
