The Contempt Case.
While MeBsrs. Qompern, Mitchell
and Morrison will doubtless carry
their caso to the court of last resort,
tho decision of tho court of appeals
in the District of Columbia, though
primarily affirming the finding of
tho lower tribunal, represents sub
stantial gains for the defendants. In
the first place, tho decision is ren
dered by a divided court, while here
tofore the court has been unani
mously advorso to tho labor leadora.
tho second placo, tho sentences
arO materially reduced, and, In tho
third place, tho chief Justico of the
ppellato court emphatically dissents.
It Is but natural that tho defend
ants proposa further appeal to tho
highest judicial authority. Tho dis
sension in the court as to John
Mitchell's refusal to apologize for an
act ho donies committing is interest
ing. Ono of tho Justices concurring
in tho majority decision points out
that Mitchell's refusal to apologize
projudlceB his cubo against him, But
tho reasoning of tho dissenting chief
Justico scorns much clearer and more
logical r
I am unablo to sec how the refusal to
apologize for an act, the commission ot
which has been expressly denied, shows a
reprehensible Intent or temper. On the
contrary, It seems to mo the i natural
conduct of a olfrespoctlng man.
'And so it must strike others.

Omaha Parks.
Tho season is at hand when the
parks mny again bo fully utiltzod by
the public. It should bo said for
Omaha that our parks, aro as a rule
conveniently located, and favored
.with a natural beauty of conflgura
tlon arid trees and shrubbory that
can .scarcely be overvalued. If they
aro delinquent at ull, it is with one
or two exceptions In lack of lakes
or lagoons and water. Our pooplo,
however, do not, we fear, thqroughly
npproclato tho recreation opportunl
tics afforded by tho parks. All of
us should famlltarizo ourselves with
tho parks in tho various sections of
the city, and mako moro use "ot
them,
Those Last-Drop Stands.
Tho sultan declared more than
onco that Turkey would never glvo
up Salonika so long as a drop ot
blood remained in tho veins of his
soldiers. Tho king of Montenegro
as dramatically stationed his army
In Scutari, nover to yield until the
last man perfshed in defense of tho
royal mandato.
And the sultan and the king had
to back up as gracefully as possible
Evacuation camo as a matter of
coursq in both cases simply bocaueo
the power behind them was not
equal to that in front ot them. Tur
Hey know at tho time ot tho sultan's
speech that Salonlkl would pass out
ot its control In a little while, Just
as Montenogro know that its sur
render of Scutari was Inevitable.
Wiser rulers nnd more humane
would not have sacrificed so many
human Uvea to foolish oaths.
It Is not to ' be presumed that
might has mado right Invariably In
the Montenegrin situation, or that
the abdication of King Nicholas will
mark the final end of trouble in
southeastern Europe, it win re
quire more that! that to Bolve the
Balkan problem.
Barkine Up the Wrong Tree.
Let us interpose a word of protest
on behalf ot our old friend, Richard
L. Metcalfe, against the effort to bar
him from lending "his invaluable ad
vice to tho people ot Lincoln how to
settle tholr differences." Tho objec
tion, which is voiced by tho Lincoln
Star, Is that Mr. Metcalfe 1b not
resident of Lincoln, although "lo
cated Just close enough to derive
every benefit that proximity to a city
affords, but Just far enough away to
preclude film from paying city taxes.
Now, we rise to ask, What has thi
to do with it? For, if Mr. Metcalfe
le Incompetent to mix in Lincoln
municipal affairs just because he
lives across tho boundary, why then
by applying the same rule to Omaha
would make us lose out on the advice
and assistance of a lot ot expert
guides and professional reformers
who are located outside the city, yet
hold themselves constantly ready to
tell us how to run our city govern'
ment, and what to do to mako
Qmaba a better place to live tn. No
city can afford to live unto itself
without considering those who dwell
in the suburbs.

OMAHA, May . To tne Editor of The
Bee: In your fight for lower water rates
I wish you would take up the Item of the
minimum charge. There are several
thousand of consumers In the city who
have cisterns and their meter rate would
not go over 33 to 40 cent per month, yet
they aro forced to pay W cents; hence
the Water board la charging thern for
services they do not render which is no
more or less than a theft It Is stealing
just as much as though they put their
hand In his pocket and took out 10 or
15 cents each month. At best the small
consumer paye a. higher rate than the
large and Is also compelled, to pay for
what he 'does not get There Is nothing
fair or honorable about that I believe
In meters so that each will pay for what
he uses, large and small consumers alike,
but not steal a few cents off the small
each month. Keep up the fight.

A three-year-old Subscriber.
According to the best available Infor
mation nothing but United States govern
ment bonds have been accepted to secure
national bank note circulation. The
words "other securities" refers to bonds
approved by tho secretary of tho treas
ury, under authority of the law, for
emergency currency, which suthorlty has
not yet been utilized. It la ajuerted that
the words "other securities" were added
so as to make the form the same for, tne

OMAHA, May 6. To the Editor of The

If the argument against making the

viously would not excuse them.

IRWIN, la,, May 6. To the Editor of
The Bee! Since the question of "Alien
Land Owning" in California hoa assumed
such a delicate phase, It seems necessary
for every true American citizen to voice
his or her opinion of tho affair so that
the spirit of tho whole nation might be
manifested.
According to the laws adopted by our
forefather, the desirable elements of the
foreign countries who became citizen
of our country, wero accorded the same
privileges and protections as native born
citizens. Thl evidently does not apply
to the situation In the "Golden Gate
State" where the Japanese are branded
as undesirable characters, offensive and
vary Impudent. Secretary Bryan Is an
ardent advocate of world-wide peace and
will do all In his power to preserve peace
among alt the nations, but It doe not
seem right and Just for this, or any
other administration, to thrust upon the
people ot .any state or states that which
seems a detriment to their welfare or
a piercing thorn in their flesh.
It Is true that every American citizen
Is on ardent lover of those liberties which
were so dear to the hearts of our fore
fathers and have been reverenced by
evory generation from that day to this,
If the people of our states are going to
be denied the liberties given to them In
the doctrine known as "states' righta,"
It would aeem tq me that our government
1 undergoing a radical change from a
republican to a "monarchial" form.
For my part If I am to be denied the
liberties for which our forefathers gave
their Uvea that we might enjoy the fruit
if their victories, then "give me death."
or without liberties life would not be
worth living. It the Japanese are not
satisfied with the sentiment as expressed
by our statesmen and by our citizens, and
arq longing to hear the voice of cannon
echoed and re-echoed from our mighty
DreadnaughU, then let them speak long
and loud, voicing the doctrine of (lib
erty and equal rights to all" to the
entire worM. The best Informed of our
most eminent statesmen do not endeavor
to conceal the fact that there must be
war with Japan soonor or later.
It would be a hard tight, but I do not
doubt the outcome. It 1 -the earnest de
sire of my heart that peace may be main
tained with a nation of tne world, but
It we must fight to maintain our liberties.
then give us war with all Its cruelties
and we will prove to the world that every
true American citizen will willingly die
fighting for his country rather than give
up our liberties to any nationality.
It remains to be seen whether the pres
ent administration will uphold California
as Na flgat far equal rights or not.
