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.

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.

The Omaha Spirit
Wausa Gazette f We are proud of the
spirit of sympathy manifested by the peo
ple of Nebraska for the tornado sufferers
at Omaha and tho telling manner In
which this sympathy has bee'n expressed,
liberal contributions to the relief fund
having been rushed in from almost every
llttlo town and hamlet In the state. 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.

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

the right of petition and to participate In

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. A. L. M. K.
