It la bard to satisfy your free trade, democrat. One of them la opposing the 4uty on dandelion roots. Next thing fad will be advocating tree dan delions, Mr. Hearst has turned humorist, saying: "I am loath to criticise the policy of tho democratic party or of any man, (Wilson) whom I labored to elect." Colonol Watterson says the aver age American lives in constant fear of being called a "tightwad." But Mr. Rockefeller Is not an average American. It 1b gratifying to know that the report that Mr. Hung, vlco president of the China republic, was assassi nated is Incorrect. We all hope Mr. Hung hangs on to the end. With Its "We Will" campaign go ing on, Chicago estimates that It suf fers $18,000,000 damage yearly from the smoke of tho lake front locomo tives. Evidently, the railroads' "Wo Won't" campaign still loads. Our amiable democratic contem porary seems to be dreadfully afraid jest something be done to take the water works boss out of politics. When water works purchase was, up, divorce from politics was one of thd big arguments it used in favor of municipal ownersnip. on, what a difference! Our Water board statesmen are oh record under oath in court tha,t the pld water company could have furnished all consumers with water at a profit of 4H- cents per '1,000 gallons. Well, then, what excuse for the Water board raising rates on all the little fellows and exacting from the others the same old extor tionate charges that the water com pany did?. Stone Throwing. An imported ovangellst is stirring Lincoln to Its very depths with dally exposures of wickedness and vlco permeating that beautiful city. He Is calling loudly upon the good peo ple of Ltncoln to open tholr.eyes and cast out all tho numerous varieties of devils that they have permitted to se cure lodgment with them. Allusion Is mndo to this heart rending situation, not that tho evan gelist's experience In Lincoln Is any thing novel for It Is his business and profession' to find Satanic ltripfl whorovor he goes In order to recruit the army of the righteous by holding up these horrible cxarrfplcsbut that Ltncoln has boon wont on all occa sions to. point to Omaha ns tho one slnkholo of iniquity, tho embodiment of all that Is bad, vicious and lawless In tho stato, and assuming a superior virtue, to draw Its mantle more tightly for fear of contnmfnatlon. Lincoln, self-consciously blissful over Its own purity, hoe liked to picture Itself as "tho holy city" In contrast with tho Sodom and Oomorrnh of Omaha, a city beyond redemption ex cept by outsldo help. Now, wo aro free to confess, that we bollovo tho hideous Word pictures of Lincoln painted by tho sob-lifting soul-savor are grossly exaggerated and overdrawn, yet there Is probably as much foundation for them as for most of tho. tirades about Omaha's terrlblo wickedness. "Let him who is without sin cast the first stono." Prompt Settlement of Claims. Tho important work at this time growing out of the recent tornado is tho reconstruction of homes and It should Do facilitated by every possl- bio aid rihfl agency. It Is regrettable to note that, according to the relief committee, delay has - boon accas stoned by, the deliberation of Insur ance and loan companies In Bottling claims of storm victims'. It la to be hoped cause for such complaint will speedily disappear Homeless peo ple should not be held back longer than necessary to. enable adjusters to drive sharp bargains. This is a glvo and take proposition and the large financial concerns can afford their 'share In the emergency. Tho splendid concert of action on tho part of all toward rollof and re habilitation deserves all tho co-operation possible from both tho loan and insurance people. Lynoh as Publio Printer. Jamos, M. Lynch doubtless; would fill tho position of public printer very acceptably,' for he is', a practical prin ter and n roan of proved oxecutlve. powers, with, a high conception of duty, nnd responsibility. But It seems too bad to loso him from tho position honrtow 'h,otds, that of president of tho International Typographical union, a position W administers wltHf sdbh marked falrnoss and auccowKto 'tbo craft and kindred Interests, It really appears that his present office antl sphere .of Influence are, larger than that of tho public printer and more Important. Yet Mr. Lynch, who is said to havo boon deotdod on by the administration for the, 'Washington position, 1b oxpocted to niake tho change. It Is Interesting to note that his immediate' predecessor, Samuel B. Donnelly, was also his immediate predecessor as president of tho In ternational Typographical union. Behold, Mr. 0'Haral Pennsylvania onco had a govoroor named Pennypacker, who undertook through a friendly legislature to muzzle the press against which ho harbored personal grievances. The law became a laughing, stock, as all attempts must that seek to abridge the constitutional right of free speech and free press. Illinois has a lieutenant governor now named, O'Hara, who proposes to rectify the mistakes and abuses made possible by the short-sighted framers of our constitutions, Mr. O'Hara enjoys n dual advantage In that he is an editor, himself, or was, and is not personally peeved at the papors. At least so we assume from the amount of fine, freo pub licity he is 'getting. And last and best, he-Is a reformer, is Mr. O'Hara, a natural born reformer, vorsatllo and resourceful. He started out by reforming all the various social evils, with which more amateurs havo been toying so long, having completed which he now takos up tho press. Mr. O'Hara's patent remedy for the abuses of the newspapers is so sim ple as to command Instant confi dence Just subject each applicant for a Journalistic Job to a practical ex amination, passing which ho shall serve a four years' apprenticeship as ''cub" reporter; then license him as A guarantee of good conduct and withdraw his license and turn him over to the court the first time that he lacerates the feelings of some good citizen, maligns, slanders, libels or lies about anything or anybody. Behold, Mr. O'Hara, who, no mat ter what becomes of his reform, has already broken the record of lieuten ant governors In getting himself known beyond the bprder of his own state. Nebraska's fire warden says the majority of our fires are caused by carelessness, and therefore prevent able.

Taxing Incomes New York World: Tho outrage of be ing asked to pay an Income tax pro vokes to loud Indignation a number of Individuals who have regarded It as the duty of the government to empower them to tax the consumer for their own private profit Boston Transcript'. The income tax hardship will be no novelty lo the man wno rides In an automobile, for he has long been used to being held up at Inns and taverns for more tribute than Is ex acted from the fellow on foot. Sioux City Journal: Persons whose In comes run below $4,000 may be thankful that they will not have to pay the In come tax. Persons whose incomes run above $1,000 may be thankful that their lncoms Is so large that paylnt the in come tax will not be a serious hardship. 'Pittsburgh Dispatch; People who are now suffering from the apprehension that their Incomes will be so large as to be taxable can provide against that calam ity by dividing the Income among needy relations and friends so that no one. In cluding the donor, wilt have over $4,000 a year. But the number who will da that will not be- large enough to sell ously affect Uncle Sam's Income. Springfield ItepubHcan: One crttlo op poses a tax on Incomes of over1 $4,000 on ths ground that "the possession of money and the power of wider purchase Is one of the best elements of; character anu self-respect."

The regular fare for a child between 5 and 12 years of ago la supposed to- bei 3 cents; but children are per mitted to ride for this half fare only If they have tickets, which may be bought at no other place except at the down town office of the company or Its dif ferent street car barns. The result is that full faro Is collected or rather jdoublw-fare for a large majority of tho nucs maen oy.kcniiuren between these ages doubtless a good thing for the com pany, but u real hardship on poor people. I write to ask If you cannot find some way to furnish the desired relief. MOTH Ml OF FOUR CHILDREN. Wants Limit nn Saloon Licenses. OMAHA, April 16. To the Editor of The Bee: A few days ago I noticed your suggestion that now Is the time to lend assistance to the ohartcr commission In Its efforts to better existing conditions In this city. Having no other interest than the welfare of the city I take the liberty of .expressing my opinion concern ing the conditions of the retail liquor business. Honest dealers and fair-minded citi zens will admit that the present situa tion Is unsatisfactory, caused primarily by the excessive number of saloons com pared with the population. During ths last yoar there has been Issued 2&1 li censes, which means one liquor house to every 610 Inhabitants, or, one to every 115 male adults. These are located Indis criminately at the .doors of churches and of school houses and 'near-the parks and boulevards. In the Third' ward we find three or four In one block. When we have weighed the facts as we anow mem to exist, It cannot be con troverted that a limitation on the num ber would te welcome. If the commis sion will look to Iowa, where the saloons are limited to one to e.verv 1.000 noniilo. tlon, they will see conditions far to be prererred to conditions here. The result is most noticeable In Des Moines, where saloons are properly located and are do ing! a profitable business. The time has come when thn cllv of Omaha can, by Its charter commission, adopt reforms. The writer Is willing to aiscuss this issue with any person or persons who may onoose this mrnnnii other than paid attorneys of private In terests, and Is willing to lay It squarely before the commission and debate the feasibility of the plan. CHARLEB ,F. SCHREMPP. 202 North Eighteenth street.' Raids nnd Tirade.' OMAHA. April 1. To the Editor of Tho Bee: I want to endorse what you said about the raids and 'arrests of peo ple Just because they happen to be where the 8 o'clock law or some other law, la being violated with or Without their knowledge. This raiding is usually Just a gallery play, as It was when the sheriff started out and said he was coins- tn knn It un aa loite as ho' was In office. Nobody has heard of any shorlfra raid for months, nrfd now when, the police do soma: raid ing, of their 'own the' same papefs that applauded ,fho sheriff ppur out tirades pn the police. I am with you fx your stand against the raids, whether by the sheriff or police, because If they have tiny evidence on which to convict they con swear out warrants and make ar. rests any. time theywant to, but, as you Bay, they cannot manufacture the same political capital that way. FAIRPLAY. I Preserving; Portfolio for Future. OMAHA, April 10,-To the Editor of The Bee: I do not believe people know Jiow effective your tornado portfolio has beetf for the purpdse of explaining to outsiders' In a graphic way what destruc tion the storm wrought. I have sent out eighteen of them to friends, and I know that several' sent contributions to the re lief fund as a direct result None 6f the jother Ptcture booklets are In the same 'class wTtn yours. I, am also putting sev- . away, as i tninK every one should1 do, for future reference, because those who come" here in after years will never understand what' we had to go through, but can get some Idea of It through these pictures.

Commenting on the success of his experiment he says: -"The last four weeks clearly demon strated the fact that people In all rro fesstons and walk of life. are capable of, expressing their thoughts In print.
