To Whom Belong the Credit t
The Wilson administration has
been in power a little over threa
months. It has really had time
scarcely to take an inventory of its
possessions and, except for a few
high-salaried ornamental places, the
machinery of government is still
manned by the samo men who had
chargo undor the previous republican
administrations. Not a slnglo court
proceeding Instituted by the now ad-
administration could possibly have
como to a head and, as a matter of
fact, mighty fow now court proceed
ings havo been instituted. Although
congress is sitting in extra session,
not a single important legislative
measure, beyond making appropria
tions, has been enacted,'-
It happens, however, that several
notablo stops of progress for the
country havo recently been scored, In
which Mr. Common People finds
much reason for Jubilation. Two
amondmonts to the constitution havo
been proclaimed, and tho supreme
court haB rondercd sOvcral significant
decisions in cases of tremendouB pub
lic momont. With their usual nerve
and gal, our democratic friends havo
started to claim credit for tho Wilson
adminstration for these achievements,
with Which tho' Wilson adralnlst-a-
tlon has had nothing, whatovor to do.
The Income tax amendment was
proposed by Bonator Drown of Ne
braska as a. republican measure, and
its submission and ratification was
completely accomplished during the
Tatt administration.
The ' direct election of United
States senators amendment was liko-
wlsa put through before tho repub
licans went out of power and, as a
mattor of fact, was forced by the re
publican senate over tho persistent
opposition of tho democrats houso.
Tho important rato cases, merger
cases and anti-trust casos decided by
our supremo court, overy ono of
whoso judges was appointed by re
publican presidents, woro all insti
tuted and prosocuted by tho attorney
genoral of tho Taft administration,
or by tho law officers af republican
state governments, the only democrat
of prominence having la part In the
rate caseB being ox-Governor Har
mon, charged in his own party with
bolng a reactionary.
Wo all agroo with Mr. Common
Peoplo that those things havo been
coming his way, but it will tako a
Eoarchlng oxpodltion to discover
where tho Wilson administration, or
tho democratic party, can rightfully
como in for any share of the credit

If Undo Sam is not careful he is
llkoly to become embarrassed in
his position abroad as tho chief

Investigatinc the 'Frisco.
In view of the plan for congress to
Inquire into tho circumstances of the
'Frisco railroad's collapse, the St.
Louis Republic observes:
When you dig a man out from under a
ten-ton mass of rock In a mlno It Is Idle
to ask what killed him. And when a rail
road goes Into a receivership In a season
of floods and storms with W.10 of Inter
est-bearing bonds to every U of stock it
Is Idle to Inquire the reason.
The railroad's method of finance,
however, might call for investigation,
and a congressional Investigation
might profitably be made, for hero
was a road mortgaged, It Is sold, be
yond tlyree-fourths of Its actual value,
operating and protending to own
7,000 miles of track, when it was
able lo command possibly a.ono
miles. Yot it managed to palm off Its
bonds on bankers. If tho investiga
tion did no more than show why
bankers, with a prescience of the in
ternal condition of Industries With
which they do business, loan money
to a railroad company in such a situ
ation it might pay. It might havo
the good effeot of putting an end to
such wild-cat methods as applied to
great comiuorcjal and transportation
enterprises.
It is publicly .charged that a few

Twice Told Tales

At A meeting" of a woman suffrage or
ganization in Kansas City, Kan., It was
suggested that tho members talk to their
servants and other women workers with
a view to forming An estimate as to the
strength of suffrage sentiment In that
particular locality. One member, who
has employed the same washerwoman
for the last six years, reported that she
put the question to this worthy woman:
'Are you In favor of votes for
women?"
"I don't pay any attention to politics,"
the washerwoman replied. I - leave all
that to my husband."
"Well, how does your husband stand
on woman suffrage?"
"He doesn't stand at all. He believes
In women staying at homo and minding
their own business."
"How many families dq you wash for?"
"Six." v
"And what does your husband do,
Mary?" .
"Ho ain't doing anything right now
unless he found something this morning."

Orerrrorklnfc the Lobby Rnoket.
Omaha, June It To the Editor of
The Bee: It seems to me this "lobby"
racket Is being greatly overworked, and
that the politicians and newspapers mak
ing capital out ot the investigation at
Washington, are resorting to the ex
tremest arts of demagogy. Although I
am n lawyer, I am not a lobbyist, but
there are a few propositions I would
Insistently maintain:
I maintain that I have a constitu
tional right to petition the law makers,'
orally or In writing, for or against any
proposed law that I think may affect my
personal Interest
I maintain that I have a right to
print my argument In circulars or In
newspapers, and send them to any or
every member of congress If I want to.
I maintain that I have a right to go
to Washington at my own expense, and
talk to any law maker who Is willing
to listen to me, on any subject
I maintain that If I can't go myself.
I havo a right to hire some one and send
Wm there to talk for me.
I maintain that It I can afford to do
so, I have a right to hire a dozen or
a hundred mon to go , to Washington
and present my side of the case to any
number of congressmen. Individually or
collectively.
I don't believe this constitutional right
can bo lawfully denied or obstructed, or
that thero Is any reason why, I, or any
one I should hire for that purpose, should
be subjected to Ignomy or odium ,as a
lobbyist for exercising the right to freely
speak and petition for redress of griev
ances. In case of corruption, threats or co
ercion, to force a congressman to vote
contrary to his convictions, there aro
plenty of ways to reach the offender,
but that does not Justify branding as
a criminal everyone who seeks by ex
planation or persuasion, to Influence a
congressman to vote as he would have
him vote.
If this be reaction, or backsliding, or
treason, make the most of It.

Commendable Views.
BRAD8HAW, Neb., June 11. To the
Editor of The Beet Under the .heading.
"Duty of Parents to Keep Children In
Church "Spirit," you quote Rev. J. A.
Jenkins' views which are quite correct
and commendable, but he stops short of
the most essential point necessary to
keep children in the church spirit and
that Is the Christ spirit There certainly
exists at the present day enough of the
church spirit void the Christy spirit among
both old and young. The church fur
nishes but few attractions to the young,
unless they can be convinced that it holds
for them something more valuable than
other places of amusement, and the ques
tion that confronts both the church and
the church-going parent Is, how can
children bo brought Into the Christ
spirit, for without that spirit the child
sees nothing more In the church than h6
does In the theater and not as much.
However, we agree with Mr, Jenkins that
the church will fall short of a normal
growth so long as they do their work on
the outside and allow the children of the
church homes to lose all Interest In the
church.
Children should be taught .to love(the
Blbie and that a thorough knowledge ot
the scriptures Is of greater value than a
college education, tor with that knowledge
education Is added; for we read in Luke
12:31, "But rather seek the kingdom ot
God; and all these things shall be added
unto you." The church itself, as we view
It is sadly in need of a better and moro
thorough knowledge of the scriptures, but
how shall such a thing be brought about?
It has been shelved in our public schools,
and In the homes, magazines, fashion
books, story books and tons ot othei
literature have completely supplanted
the Bible: even the great Sunday dallies
are furnishing most of .the Sunday read
ing for both old and young In the aver
age church home of the present day. Is
there any way In whioh the church can
have a nonnal growth with all these
hindrances standing In the way, from
either the inside or out? Is a great ques
tion, and who shall be 'able to answer It?
Let him come forth that will.

More Up Front.
OMAHA. June 11. To the Editor of The
lice: The demand In this and most cities
Is for more street oars and better sched
ules, and I would most heartily voice
that demand. But I am convinced that
iwc migui uiiuio uiuqn pencil uso hi me
street cars w have If we would. For
Instance, since some have to stand In
rush hours, why will people block the
rear platforms and ends of cars when the
fronts are either entirely or partially
empty? Go Into any car during the rush
hours and you find this, and a poor con
ductor, with his patience tried, shouting
above,, the hum of passengers' voices,
"Move up in front please." And the
people don't move up at all. They hear
htm. but stand right where they are as
if glued there. It's mighty aggravating.
It makes, us seem like, a lot ot rubes,
too I asked A woman once who was
blocking the aisle ot a car, why she
didn't move up front "Oh," she said,
"I'm afraid those men up there would
think I just came to get their seats."
I suppose she considered a poor excusd
better than none. She wpuldn't refuse
to take the seat, to which she was en
titled as a lady, It offered her in the
rear or front Come on, "move up In
front" and give the other fellow and
the company a chance. J. M. K.

About $500 was spent in advertising in Boston tand

were negligible. ' ; '' ,.,
The advertising department conned the, matter over
and then secured another $500. But this -time,. instead ,
of advertising in many papers, only one paper, md user.
Tho ado were run three1. times a week, and the ca'mpaign lasted
eight weeks. At tlio end of thnt tlmo the sales In Boston had in-
creased 104 and In the vicinity 100. ,
About two months later the same plan , was usqd agalm, and

The really interesting question is, Why was" tlie' fitUt

FALSE PRETENSES.

When first the snow ot ago appeared
And flecked my raven locks .with
white., '
Tho heaxy hand of time I feared
And trembled with a nameless fright
I-thought of pains and aching bones. '
And cracking Joints and rheumy eyes,
And querulous and scolding tones,
And reminiscences and sighs.
But, like an angel unaware, -
I found the herald of old Age: v
He lifted from me many a care v
And named me "wiseacre" and t'sage

Brought youth to seek my grave advlce
Ah, he Is welcome, If you please;

And have young folk indulge my whims
And readily upon me wait
Regardful' of my ''poor old limbs."
But one thing mars my perfect Joy
I want to run and dance, and play,
For I'm as spry as any boy
But that would give the game away I
