Tho court, it is true, construes into a grant of f ranch !so rights, certain acts of tho city, such as ordering the wires into underground conduits, hich at the time wero expressly and explicitly declared to bo merely regulative orders, conveying no addi tional privileges. Fortunately, how ever tho particular franchise now declared to be a grant in perpetuity, carries with it no immunity what ever from municipal control over sor- ice and rates, but leaves the city freo from time to tlmo aB conditions rosy warrant, to prescribe service re quirements, and to limit rates to a reasonable return for the cos. of pro ductlon on tho basis of :.ctual present orth of tho investment.

Two-Cent Fare Scoured. The general effect o the supreme court's aflrmatton ot the 2 -cent fare laws In Missouri, Arkansas and West Virginia Is to secure the permanency ot the roduced rate, whose goneral extension may now be expected. So far as Missouri Is concerned, tho rul lng follows the enactment ot tho law after six years of litigation and loaves the state to perform another difficult task ot compollng the rail roads to refund, tho oxcobb amounts colccted for this porlod, Tho decision lays down no new lines ot reasoning, but pursues such as have been drawn In the Mlnne stjta and pthor rate cases, oven mak ing similar exception In the np plication of tho reduced rate to weak railroads, whoso property would thereby be confiscated. These roads ares imply loft to work out their own salvation, for a rato la no moro con fiscatory when made by a state than by another road, so this otters littlo rollot to them, except In non-com pletlvo territory. And no oxcluslve territory Is apt to bo unlnraded by the strongor lines indefinitely. Ton Years Ago With Judge Estelle's son, Ben, leading the van and Judge W. W.

It may be too much to expect the vacation school to become extremely popular with Young America, who have to attend It, but It may servo some practical and helpful ends. Ono of the chief problems encountered In our public school Bystem is adapt lag tho course to the common level of tho ability or disposition ot the pupils to learn. For ono reason and another, chiefly failure to make grades, about as many pupils leave the grammar grade as proceed to tho high schools each year In thl country and it Is primarily the pur pose ot the vacation school to seek to corect such conditions by affording the less apt pupil extra instruct!? during the summer. Even so mag nanlmous a purpose, however. Is not Immune rom obstacles. It may be quite as hard to arouse or enlist the youngsters' interest during tho heated months as dulng the less arduous period of the regular school year. The invocation, therefore, must he regarded for the time, as largely experimental. After the Big Meet oxl Dentist Have you ben anywhere else? Patient I went to see the chemist in our village.

In fact, the big reception committee would scarcely give the association time to hold Its meetings, but wanted even those necessary hours to show the scribes and their more popular side pards the good things In store for them. There were so many of the big men and women in Omaha who were on the reception com mittee that we could no more than gen eralize them. . The Best Brer Attended. Crete Democrat Tho annual press meet at Omaha June 2, 3 and 4, was in many respects the best we have attended. Much ot this was due to the efforts of the Omaha Commercial club, supply houses and business men in both Oman as. The attendance was larger than usual, made up mainly ot young men, only a few of the old timers be ing present There dore 190 editors and ninety of them took their wives, wbu were given special attention, and enjoyed the round of entertainments very much. It was a pleasure to' meet so many people In Omaha and South Omaha who wanted to play host In the latest, most approved fashion. The twin cities have really become awakened to the fact that they are a part ot the great state ot Nebraska and dependent upon Its products for bus! ness and development. We have at, tended these annual meets the last quar ter century and can truly state that at no other meeting have so many courte sies been so graciously extended to the editors and their wives, and more de lightful entertainments provided by the hosts, than at Omaha last week.

The whole hearted cordiality and good fellowship shown the newspaper boys and their ladles put the business men of Omaha and tho newspaper men of Nebraska in mutual accord to work and labor unitedly for a greater Nebraska and a greater Omaha. While South Omaha has smells as well as smiles for the visitors and the system of "milling" the crowds that visit that town is at times almost humorous, yet, the energy, the push, the ambition and the brains displayed by her people in carrying forward their gigantic bus! nesa enterprises excites one's admiration and makes plain why South Omaha Is today the second greatest live stock market In the world, and why In a short time she is destined to hold first place, The business men of greater Omaha like. wise are bristling with ideas and ambl tlons to make their city grow and pros per.

The question is being asxed and is gen erally believed that the lecture bureau, supposed to have been promoted or de ified by Mr. McBrten, was In reality, a national affair and not a state pro ject, the purpose and intention of which was to educate and Instruct In the doc- trlno and principles ot the bull moose party. It Is pointed out that a few prominent democrats were given recog nition for prudential reasons and a large number of ministers of the gospel were assigned a place on the platform to cover the design and purpose of partisan In tentlon. The absence of any prominent republican or one who favored the re publican party appears to give weight to tho theory that the lecture bureau was planned to boost the bull moose party. Of course, the scheme failed as all such schemes must fall. The people have become tired of po litical boomerangs and political bally. ihooers. The democratic party is mak Ing a trial and experiment oa a reform party and appears to have some very peclally well qualified experts In con trol and It that party should fall, it would be a useless adventure for a new party to attempt to succeed.

To the Editor of The Bee: -There are certainly .some questions that aro hard to answer, and some of the perplexities and curiosities that arise In my mind are amusing not only to others, but to myself. Here Is one that Is something of a riddle to me: "Why will a nation organize and equip an army for tho purpose ot slaughtering their ene mles. and at the same time organize and equip a Red Cross army whose duty It is to keep the wounded enemy from dying if posslblo?" It is the duty of the soldier to kill the enemy If he can, and It is the duty of the Red Cross doctor or nurse to go over the battlefield as soon as possible and save the lives ot both friends and foe. Both the soldier and tho doctor are heroes the one because- ha Is brave in battle and shoots to kill, the other be cause he undertakes to save the lives of those who aro not completely shot to death. Now If two opposing armies con agree on the rules of warfare and come to an understanding concerning the dlS' position of the dead and. wounded, why is It they cannot agree to stack their arms and not fight at all? Now, again. In time of war our soldiers ore lauded to the skies by the people. One minister made the statement during the Spanish American war that he believed every American soldier killed In battle would be taken to heaven regardless ot his sins, But what pay docs a soldier draw, and what pension does the wounded veteran receive? Not as much as an office boy can earn. A soldier Is good enough to wade Into -a battle and risk his neck for his country, but it has only been recently that the government thought htm good enough to have butter for his bread and milk for his coffee, besides all this soldier Is not considered by most people as being good material for a son-in-law, The common soldier Is a hero in song and Imagination only, his salary is less than that ot a street sweeper. I wish to call the attention of "C W." to the fact' that If my statement about a savage being a savage by nature Is not true, it cannot be refuted by re versing it, nor yet by comparing it ito his own statement about the dog havih; nine legs. That a dog has nine legs is manifest absurdity to begin with and, of course, nothing can be deduced from cither by logic or otherwise. I said: "A savage Is a savage by nature." To reverse this .and say, "A cl1llzed man is civil ized by nature," of course denies wfcat I said, but that is all it does do; simply a denial. Any one who sees fit to reduce this question to a critical analysis need go no farther than Webster's dictionary to get the common, plain meaning of the words In question . Where savagery ends and civilization begins cannot be known, because the words "savagery" and "civili zation" have no absolute meaning but only a relative meaning when compared to each other. The point where Instinct ends and reason begins cannot be known for the same reason. E. O. M. Here and There And how did vour rrnduntlnc rlna uno mo mm d- inai eminent eastern professor?"
