New York Tribune. Among tho unfashionable yes, If tho Japancao fail to como over and fight us this time, what will become of Mr. Hobson's reputation as a prophot? The examining lawyers havo not as yet asked the prosecuting witness how many cups of coffee ho Is in tho habit of drinking. l When it comes to improving tho roads in and about Omaha, those loading to and from the cemeteries ought to have tho preference, Tho Omaha Commercial club has declined to permit its rooms to be used as a political rendezvous for the women suffrage brigade. Oh those horrid men! Now get ready to stop up before tho registration officer and havo your height, your weight, your ago and tho color of your skin, eyes and hair recorded In the big book. The Houston Post nays there have been three recent grape Juice ban quets In Houston. When that town gets to serving grape Juice It la time to inquire about tho ago of the stuff. One way to compel pool hall keep ers to observe the law with reapect to the admission of minors Is, as has been demonstrated, to haul them up and fine them for every violation of the law. Never fear, thero can bo nothing secret about Omaha's new charter, for nothing the charter convention may recommend will have any force or effect until approved by popular vote at the polls. Mr. Flagler is one multi-million slro whose recent death has not left a disappointment as to his reputed wealth. He seems to havo been fairly well-to-do, with a small for tuna of 1100.000,000. Still, before wreaking vengeance ror that Council Bluffs murder, would it not be better to make sure the accused Is guilty? And Is not tho best way to do that to have him tried in the regular courts of law, and then mete out the punishment Jhat is dl ' In the Namo of Reform. Things arc often done in tho guleo of reform that otherwise would bo denounced as outrageous and Inde fensible. As a striking example our new election commissioner in rear- ranging the Voting districts has lot himself bo led into the worso than j foolishness of laying out several shoe-string district ton blocks long and only from ono to two blocks wide. The Justification will prob ably be offered that tho territory thus cut up is under suspicion, and thcreforo voting should bo made as difficult as possible for pooplo re siding in that section. Now, wo aro free to say that wo believo this Is entirely wrong in principle, and pernicious in prac tice. Wo believe tliat the purpose of our olectlon machinery should be to make it convenient, and thus en couraging, to pcoplo to vote who aro entitled to vote, no matter whoro thoy may happen to llvo. If tho Bortlllon measurement system of registration, enforced by a spe cially picked corps of election in spectors, is not onough to prevent colonizing and repeating, and to glvo us absolutely "pure" elections'? uroly stretchjng tho voting districts out into Blioo-strlngs will not make them any more pure. Pleasant Assurance. In tho midst of a discord of tngolstlc notes as to the doubtful friendship of Great Britain for America, it Is gratifying, oven though not essential, to havo from tho London Standard tho pleasant assuranco that no Britlsh-Japnncso commercial alliance can evor load to separation of tho Anglo-American relationship, which is based, not on so ephemeral a factor as mutual ma terial Interests, but upon tho doopor and imperishable fact of blood kin. Thus observes tho Standard: It Is unthinkable that Great Britain could view with Indifference any dlsposl tlon on the part of her present allies (the Japanese) to attack America Between lhn people of tho great republic and our selves there are ties of blood and common Interests which could under no circum stances be disregarded. 'Hor present allies," England therefore regards Japan, as com pared with us, her blood-related friends and neighbors. It would bo a good thing if all Americans would tako caroful thought of tho London papor's comment. Of course, It Is unthlnkablo" that a compact be tween Britons and Japanese or be tween Britons and any othor nation could como between Britons and Americans. Why not lot that settle our minds on the subject In placo of ovory foolish notion to tho con trary. Senatorial Courtesy That Failed. It will not always do to dotormino the facts in a caoo upon tho basis of senatorial courtesy, which, it ap pears, exists in stato legislatures aB woll as tho national congress. A point at issuo is the caso of former Senator Stephon K, Stllwell of New York, Just sentenced to from four to eight years in Sing Sing for bribery, Tho "vonal vampires" of tho press heralded tho charges back and forth at Albany with such persistence as to 'orcr tho -"ttcr unon tho atton Ion of tho senator's colleagues. Thoy lovc it up una iu ado a pretonso at threshing out tho facts and found there,-was "nothing to them." Thoy exonerated; vindicated and all but llonizod tholr accused .brother. That is, twenty-eight of thorn did, while twenty-one did not But tho state somohow fallod to find entire satis faction in tho senate's disposition of tho caso and insisted on bringing it to trial in court, whore a Jury heard tho ovidonco and returned an unani mous verdict of guilty, and the Judge prescribed a penitentiary term as tho penalty. Aside from tending to discredit tho legal, as well as moral value of senatorial courtesy and fellow-son ator sympathy, this caso seems to suggest something olso a Uttlo moro unpleasant, Tho Illinois Jack potters, U will bo remembered, had no difficulty in getting a cloan bill from their colleagues. The Temptations of a Patriot. It begins to look liko an open question whether all the democrats at Washington aro as eager for that lobby inquiry as tho president may think thoy should be. But tho cry of an "Insidious lobby with plenty of money" threatening to defeat tariff reduction, reminds one of the old campaign boast of an enthusiastic democrat, to tho ettoct that "wo democrats are sure to win this tlmo It those republican rascals don't buy us off." It is to be hoped the president's forewarning will prove forearming and save the last patriot from the pitfalls of temptation. It would be tragic, Indeed, for any to fall by tho wayside at this stage, Just as the country is about to obtain the blessed relief from thq oppressions of the past in honest tariff revision. Will Allen White says he Is not for Roosevelt as the bull moose nomlneo In 1916; that It would be a miracle It that party's leader should be-elected president.

Washington Post: There have been enough deaths from blows given In the prize ring to warrant the belief that the medical examinations preliminary to tho bouts aro perfunctory and unscientific. The laws should provide for strict med ical examination before any fighter Is permitted to engage In a bout that wt'l test his endurance and His heart to the limit.

Sources of Information regarding af fairs In the Balkan states are so keenly anxious for a row among the victors that readers should not bo surprised at th persistent reports of fighting over the spoils of war. There Is good grounds for believing that the allies are not as harmonious as when fighting the com mon enemy. There Is 'more territory to divide than the allies anticipated at th beginning, and the matter of adjusting the oxtra territorial loot Is responsible for hostile movements. In which the Bul garians appear to be the aggressors. There Is little prospect of a serious dis turbance for the very strong reason that the czar of Russia, staunch friend of tlio allies, has been chosen arbitrator of the boundary dispute. The friction nrlsoi from tho unexpocted siu'cess of the Serbs and Greeks In driving the Turks out of the western province, each ongerly claiming nil the territory captured. Bul garia claims a larger !!ce to the went of Thracs, Including Mi. donla. as com pensation for delivering Ronnmnla the province of Sillstrlu ns t, twnrd for re maining neutral.

No doubt the sharp domnnit i , the powers requiring tho allies to hu up a draft of the peace treaty, will huv , a cooling effect on blood lust, and the friendly czar may be depended on to tighten the check on his neighboring bronchos. Future of Allinnln. The future of the Independent state of Albania, taken under the wings of the powers, promises to bo a complex prob lem. Austria and Italy are particularly Interested ln shaping Its destiny so as to gain a controlling influence, the former to keep open trade routes to the south, and the latter to protect Its sea power on tho Adriatic. The task of otheV powers will bo prevention of Austro Itallan domlnence In Albanian adminis tration. "If the country Is allowed to become an Austro-Itallan administrative preserve," writes the Vienna correspond ent of the London Times, "It will end by being a bone of contention between tho -two countries. The Albanians them selves will feel no confidence ln foreign efforts unless they be made by and tinder tho supervision of all the powers. The second consideration Is that the Al banians, though wild tribesmen, are by no means lawless. They have their own strict code of honor, and, especially ln the north, their own oral code of law, tho canon or law of Lek Dukojln. The tribes aro accustomed publicly to debate points of law, and have a highly devel oped sense of equity. If lasting1 results aro to be achieved, It can only be by de veloping gradually what exists, and cor. rectlng abuses as occasion offers. Legal pundits from Austria-Hungary, Italy or any lawyer-ridden European community can only do harm In Albania." Opposition to Militarism. Organized opposition to the militarist plans of the governments of Fiance and Germany cause considerable embarrass ment to the representative ministries. Exposure of manufactured war scares In Germany lends strength to tho movement there, while ln France, organized labor, with its tremendous political Influence, Is being pulled Into the movement. In dignation meetings In both countries draw huge crowds, giving an exaggerated Impression of publlo sentiment Social-, latlc radicals are tho chief factors ln the movement, however, and their ex tremist views drive away the conserv ative forces, which, under calm leader ship, would oppose militarism. An Im pressive note In support of defensive measures Is sounded, by former Premier Clemencean of France, answering the socialist pronouncement of last Sunday. "AU Europe knows," he says, "that wo are on the defensive and Germany can not have any doubt on that score. Un der the pretext of protecting herself against French aggression, she continues to pile up armaments till tho day which she Judges suitable to finish with un. If the catastropho be Inevitable, wo must prepare to meet It with all our strength. That Is why I am disposed to support all tho government's defensive measures. Those who saw 1S70, cannot allow the slightest loophole for a return to the ovonta of those frightful days, of which the horror nowadays would be Increased a hundredfold. If my destiny Is to In flict me again with that nameless Cal vary which still haunts mo, I have at least resolved not to Incur the slightest responsibility for anything that might weaken my country tn her fcupremo struggle for existence." Sonth African Politic. The fight over the naval and language Issues ln the South African union Is In creasing ln bitterness. General Hertzog, champion of Boer nationalism, who re tired from the cabinet as a protest against the policies of the ministry, con tinues his sharp attacks on Premier Botha, and has recently added former President Steyn of the old Orange Free State to his political phalanx. So sets lous Is the- growing division that Mr. Maasdorp, a ministerialist of Influence, recently uttered a Warning. He soldi General Botha's policy was conciliation. General Hertzos's was the policy of thn two streams. Were they on that Issue to tear the country asunder again? That would be the only result. He Bald de liberately that It they did they were go Ing Into one of the most wicked race wars that South Africa had yet seen, and they had been bad enough ln the past. It would be nothing but a race war, the South African party would be torn asunder. Suoh a policy would de stroy the credit of the country at a time when capital was never moro nec essary. Bouth Africa's credit was good enough If It were not destroyed by mod and wicked political quarrels." Chlnii'a nallroad Projects. The success of the British slice of the Chinese loan ln London affords much ery couragment for the proposed railroad loans which the republic Is presenting to European investors. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, China's financial representative abroad. estimates the empire's railroad require ments at 60,000 miles of trackage. The secretary of the. Chinese National Rail way corporation, now in London, has a power of attorney to borrow 1500,000,000, If he can, nnd this amount Is the est I mated requirement for only 10.CO0 miles of road, to which the original plan of construction ha been temporarily re duced. HioBeitterB ox The I'rloe of Sonl Snvlnff. KEARNEY, Neb., May 30. To the Editor of The Bee: I see that E. O. M. is still regretting the turning down of Billy Sunday by the Omaha churches. But ln his letter he Is certainly guilty of an In consistency, for he says: "Prof. Drum mond proved many years ago, as near as anything can bo proven by analogy, that spiritual life Is a free gift of God." Now, why then should Omaha be asked to con tribute I21.C00T If it is free, that means that it can be obtained "without money and without price," does It not? Aside from any other argument against the employment of this somewhat high priced soul saver, it seems a positive crime to pay such a sum to this man for a few days labor In Omaha, when ther are thousands of earnest and sincere min isters who labor almost a lifetime for that sum, doing vastly more permanent good than the Rev. Billy could possibly do ln that length of time, or, for that matter, ln a year's time. N. H. J. Rewords nnd Punishments. OMAHA, May SO. To the Editor of The Beo: Most revivalists advocate thea doc trine of futuro rewards and punishments, nnd a few still preach the John Wesley theory of eternal torment. I am not prepared to defend tho fire und brim Mono doctrine, but I cannot see how the' oilil Is going to bo benefited by dis carding it i admit Its unreasonableness, but so if very Christian doctrine unreasonable, and what Is more, most scientific theories wlK-n reduced to their lowest terms are unscientific and absolutely Incomprehen sible. Human reason enters a protest against every Idea that undertakes to rise above experience. I should say that wo were justified to preach any doctrine that will persuade tho wicked man to forsako his ways, unless we know such doctrine to be false; and It we are to preach only such doctrine as we can prove by the use of logic, our ministry comes to an end, for we cannot even prove that the Saviour Is divine without calling upon faith to support the argu ment It Is easy enough to explain away the "lake of fire," and It Is Just as easy to got rid of the pearly gates; and by the same process of elimination and ex planation, tho resurrection and the as cension also disappears. In my opinion, the churches side-tracked a very useful doctrine when they laid the brimstone theory on the shelf, for there Is Just ns much sense ln scaring a man out of a sinful life as there Is ln bribing htm out by offering him a heaven that has no better foundation to rest on than the "fiery lake" has; both hell and heaven rest upon the Ipse dixit of the Bible. A great many people reason like this: "If I believe in a burning lake I must either repent and forsake my sins or be cast Into it; now I don't wont to be cast into this lake, and I am not ready to forsake my sins, so In order to satisfy my conscience and bring my mind to a state of rest, I will repudiate and set aside the brimstone theory, for it cannot be proven anyway." Free thinkers are about to take away the last argument wo have to use against the sinner, and all wo can tell the sinner now Is, that he Is a pretty good fellow after all and too good to be punished, and to further console him we might add that God U too good to punish any one eternally. This method may get rid of what Is called superstition, but will It help rid the world of slnT E. O. M. Power of Trade Chicago Rocord-Herald: The Inventor and author may bo worthy of their re ward as secured by the patent and copy right laws, but It was never the Intention of the law-making' power that tho monop oly conferred by patents' and copyright should form a link In on endless chain of secondary, tertiary and collateral monopolies. Brooklyn Eagle: It Is a good thing to have this decision on the books. Perhaps It will not bo necessary, now, to change the patent laws. A change would have been politically compelled by the mimeo graph case, with its reasoning untem pered and unmodified. Five of tho Jus. tlces concur ln this latest decision. Four MoKenno, Holmes, Lurton and Van De- vanter dissent Chicago Inter Ocean: In the case Just decided a majority of the full court of nine holds that It la not on Infringement of the patent laws for the buyer of a patented article to sell It at a lower price than the patent owner thinks It ouuht to bring. This decision puts an en4 to the efforts of manufacturers and patentees to control under the patent laws the sell ing price of tbelr devices, no matter by whom sold or under what circumstances. St Louts Republic: Doubtless the publlo will benefit to some extent through a re duction of price ln many articles now sold at prices fixed by the producer. Many articles In common use, breakfast foods, proprietary medicines, safety razors and watches, for Instance, have been sold under contracts which bound the dealers to adhere to one price. Such articles are now ln the competitive mar ket and bargain sales will be In order. Chicago News: The publlo has reason to be thankful that the supreme court has reversed Itself, taking a position on the patent laws that Is In harmony with the spirit of the anti-trust laws of the nation. Still It Is probable that the value of the decision will prove ln practice to bo moro sentimental than substantial, The fact that their highest court has ex pressed Its disapproval of business prac ttces that are against public policy Is worth much to the people. Presumably, however, owners of patented articles will merely change their methods. Around the Cities Pennsylvania tn 1912 produced 4,t02&l tons oi jjessemer steei.
