Too Much of a Showing.
A compilation presumably made in
bohalf of tho firo insurance compa
nies to "show" Missouri that it is
pursuing a mistaken policy toward
them represents tho ratio of loss to
rate there as muoh greator than In
surrounding states. In Missouri It Is
shown that tho firo rate is 97 cents
as against a Iobb ratio of 73 cents,
whllo In Nebraska the rate averages
$1.07 to a loss ratio of 52.2 cents.
Iowa and Kansas have the same av
erages rate as. Nebraska, with loss
ratio of 68.5 cents and 73.3 cents,
respectively.
From tho insurance raan'B view
point this makes a fine showing for
Missouri, but a mighty poor showing
for Nebraska. It means that Ne
braska has been paying $2 in premi
ums on Its fire policies for ovory dol
lar returned to policy holders for
losses. Not only this, but that Ne
braska Is being taxed disproportion
ately to pay tho firo losses in other
states. By tho tlmo tho underwrit
ers got through "showing" Missouri
It might bo a good thing for them to
start In to show Nebraska.

the absonco of those makes It neces

to hope for tho settlement of their
differences now through conferences

ferred upon ovory question and
phaso of question that has arisen
without coming near to a mutual
agreoment. From tho first of tho
Turko-Balkan war conflicting selfish
interests of tho alliod states were ap
parent, and after the common foe
was conquered it was but natural
that tho clash should como between
tho victors over tho spoils. This
clash assumes much of the character
ot tho Burvtval of the fittest, show

temporary expedient and the entonto

Social Lobbies.
Reference to the existence of social
lobbies at Washington serves to re
mind those conversant with tho facta
that thoy are to bo found also around
every state legislature In tho coun
try. Many a measure owes Its suc
cess to theso Ingratiating subtleties
It Is not tho easiest matter to decline
simply a courteous Invitation to din
ner, or a theater party or tho Hke,
ovon though It may bring the same
result at comparatively nominal ox-
penso as a moro expressive method
of persuasion. It very skilfully com
bines the two hotfky purposes of
avoiding offense had saving money.
Those who have observed tho work'
lngs of this system, though, will be
apt to agreo with tho. senator who
condemns It as more insidious than
the other kind.
This social lobbying Is an old and
multiform trick in Amorlcan busi
ness, as well as political life. Many
a successful business or professional
man knows that not all tho appar
ently purposeless social functions-
receptions, balls, dinners are as In
nocent as they appear, but that under
tho veneer of the happy occasion may
bo an objective goal of a serious
character. The social side of life
has many ramifications.

Put the Others In the Shade.
Nebraska City News.
In entertaining the Nebraska Editorial
association, the city of Omaha, assisted
by South Omaha, set a pace that It will
be difficult for any other town to fol
low. When Lincoln entertains this as
sociation It does well, but there Is so
much to Omaha that It puts the other
towns In the shade. The time was when
Fremont, Grand Island, York, Hastings,
Beatrice and towns of that size could
ell care for the association, but now
there are so many members and so much
asked of them that the little towns can
not caro for the members and the visi
tors, but it requires a city to look after
them.

space than we have at this time. We
can only say that our visit during the
session was Indeed made an enjoyable

JOLLIES FK0K JUDGE.
An Artist In Silence.
J. Plerpont Morgan was always a silent
man, and ho would sometimes champion
the silent with a story.
"Old John Bates, an upholsterer," so
the story began, "was renowned for his
silence People who had been his cus
tomers for a generation had, many ot
them, never heard a word from him ex
cept, 'Good morning. Five dollars. Thank
you. Good day.' Old John, In fact, cul
tivated silence as a genius cultivates his
art.
"A patron one day said to John:
" 'What's the best kind of matUessT'
" 'Hair.' was the reply.
"The patron, some twenty years later,
had occasion to buy another mattress,
and again he asked:
"'What's the best kind, John?'
" 'Cotton.'
" 'Cotton?' the patron cried. 'Why, you
told me twenty years ago that hair was
the best.'
"The old man gave a quaint sigh.'
" 'Talking has always been my ruin,' he
said." Washington Star.

you will begin with the sherry. There

James duly mastered this and the other
details of his work, and the banquet be
gan. Presently the hostess signed to
James, and the young man, seizing the
decanter, began to make his rounds, say

approached each guest:

His conscience was so calloused that it

He was equal to all crimes or sinful

Kverlairtiniz Good Will.
' ' 'Tekamah Herald.
Omaha has the everlasting good will of

does things, and no city anywhere has
better and bigger hearted bunch ot

No Nerve to Knock Now.
Western Laborer.
The way Omaha entertained the'
country editors this week was a caution.
It was a program of entertainment with
out a hitch, without a peer. All the
editors and their wives enjoyed the visit
and will feel better toward Omaha In
the future. One of he country editors
said to me: "Listen a country editor
who enjoyed the vlstt this week must
be a fish If he has the nerve to knock
on Omaha, after the way everybody in
the city has treated us." The big do
thlngs men ot Omaha and South Omaha
are determined to have Nebraska for the
two Oman as and the two Omahoa for
Nebraska, and they expect to reach Ne
braska through the country editors. To
know that the editors enjoyed their
visit and will .come oftner was the one
thought In the minds of the men who
arranged, paid for and carried out the
program.
