But Is Water Board Boss Howell Wing to put his Junket money back? Ak-Sar-Ben Initiate, looking back ward: "Ho certainly wae good to we." To a man up a tree It looks as If Lincoln, Itself, did not give the State fair its customary support. We cannot think, though, that Lin coln gets any satisfaction out of mauling our much-mauled ball team. The -word "hot" Is not In the weather man's vocabulary. Warm and warmer Is as far as ho ever goes. Kansas has a W. J. Bryan In tho Brooming for governor of the state. Perhaps wo shall yot see what's In a name. Mexican 'soldiers overloaded with pistols and pulque had bettor keop off tha American end of an interna tional bridge. Whether Felix DJaz proposes to r.un for president or Mexico or not, he Is playing it right to get a lot of publicity beforehand. Still, If the Mexicans are given a chance to say what they want and want Huerta.to be their chlof exocu live, what aro wo going to do about It? If nepotism Is really to be cut out )t tho state institutions, wo may hope that somo day not too distant the re form may strike tho state houso Itself. "City Churches Roopon," an nounccs a New York paper. Now, If .tho dovll had only closed up shop during the summer tho raco might ttart oven, In Sweden, they aro .agitating tho .question of giving woman the right to propose marriage. But why ihould she want more than the right fi dispose? Canadian Justice is ovidontly swift and euro against unpopular poker players, but slow and uncertain igainst degenerate murdorera with lota of money. Governor Johnson, so rumor has It, may retire from politics at tho end sf his present torm. What, Is Arma geddon to bo deserted by Its most mafrald sentinels? A progressive Kansas town has passed an ordinance Imposing a flno on the owner of mules that bray at night. Now let's muztlo the cats nd got a good sleep. After monopolizing tho use of tho adjacent streot for weeks and months, tho building contractor might at least recognize his obllga Ion to clean up tho debris. That letter carriers' convention which Omaha is to entertain In 1915 will be mado up of not less than z,ouo delegates, looks as it wo would need our Auditorium about hat time. One nowspapor contemporary at tacks tho new home rule charter be causo it perpetuates the commission plan of government, and another In slsta that tho commission plan has already been vindicated and must bo retained at any cost. There you have t take your choice. Tho Boy Scout national headquar ters benevolently advises the public that thoBe Buffalo JUU1 show refugees "walking across the.country for want it a better meattHBof . transportation ire not Boy Scouu at ell. Well, bat of it? Whit is the difference between a Boy Scout and a acouting boy, when it comes to such straits? Charter-Making in Lincoln, Down In Lincoln the charter con vention has Just completed the draft ing of a home rule charter to be sub mitted to the people for ratification. The work of charter-making In Lin coln seems to have proceeded largely along tho satno lines as hero In Omaha, tho Invitation to tho public for suggestions eliciting poor re sponse and the actual construction of the document devolving upon a subcommittee which buckled down to the Job. The convention in Lincoln) also doveloped differences of opinion in its own membership, winding up with three dlssenterB. In Lincoln, however, all fifteen of the charter makers signed tho finished draft, two of them reserving tho right to oppose and vote against its adoption In the election because of disagreement upon what to them seem certain fun damental principles. Although tho full text of the pro posed Lincoln charter is not yet ac cessible, It Is worthy of note that, ac cording to the prefatory synopsis, many of the new features proposed in tho Omaha charter have also found favor with the Lincoln charter con vention, and further, thnt "the coun cil Is vested with all powers of mu nicipal legislation, added to a com plete system of local government, subject only to this charter, the con stitution and general laws of the state." In Lincoln, as In Omaha. tho charter-makers have proceeded on tho theory of occupying tho entire field of home rule pormltted to them. The Humiliation of a Befonner. Tho arrest of William Travers Jeromo on the chargo of gambling In Canada threw Now York Into a fit of laughter, according to tho New York Herald, which says: Loud guffaws of merriment rolled along Broadway, overflowed Into tho side streets and were wafted over the North .river to Newark, and in the opposite di rection as far east as Coney Island. Not since Brian O. Hughes' baek.feneo-bred cat took the prlxe In the Waldorf exhibi tion have we enjoyed such a hearty laugh. Now York was thinking of the time when, as district attorney and genorallsslmo of the armlos of civic reform, this same Jeromo had a bill put through tho legislature under which ho proclaimed he had closed every gambling houso in tho "tender Ipln" and mado tboso in raoro ro spectablo proclncts hard to find. So on receipt of the news from Coatl cook Broadway gamblers wired him their "sympathy" In such messages as theso: "Olad to have you with u at lost." "Now we aro all in the same boat, but you aro tho only one In Jail." "Clone yourself and put It up to the headquarters to let you open up again." jEven though caught red-handed at. four-flushing, Mr. Jeromeovldently1 was taking no chances on big antes or heavy losses. Ho was sitting In, uccoruing to mo aispaicnes, with a party of newspaper correspondents. A Good Rule Enforce It, Chief of Police Dunn's rule requiry ub uuiuuiuuiico iu diuw uown m ap proaching school houses whero chll dron aro coming and going Id a. good ono to enforce. "i expect every man or woman driving an auto to hood this rulo strictly;" says tho chlof. Many mon and women who drive nutos aro fathers and mothers, with tho instinctive anxiety for the safety of children, and they surely will co oporato to tho best of their ability In tho observance of the rulo. It seems superfluous to dwell on the special hazard involvod In rushing automo hues past schools. In fact, it tho rulo, itsolf, does net appeal to auto- lata as one for tho most rigid ob servance, then nothing that can be said of It Is apt to. The polico should see that tho mandato is not ignored. A similar rulo requiring autos to come to a complete stop at corners whero peo ple are boarding or leaving stroot cars Is, too commonly violated with Impunity, and sometimes with seri ous consequences. The Bme re quirement should apply to railway crossings. And these rules of safety should bo strictly onforced. The Rights of the Hone. Fire destroyed a largo ramshacklo used as a livery stable In San Fran cisco, with tho loss of 100 horses tied to their stalls on tho second floor. Which prompts two questions: first, why ramshacklos for livery stables, and second, why horses on the second floor? Livery stables, like hotels, should be fireproof. It Is poor business economy, as well as criminal folly, to subject either humans or horses to the peril of torturo and death In fire traps, and the only thing to be gained In the recitation of such a disaster as the one In San Francisco is to remind us of tho consequences of neglect. Horses by instinct usually rush In rather than out of the flames, and seldom escape a fire when Imperiled. So it is hard enough at best to save them even when not shut off from all possible assistance. The horse should have somo rights his master Is bound to respect. Woman's Way and Man'. 'The trouble with you women," he said, "is that you are always too ready to be suspicious of one another." "I suppose we have that fault," she replied, "and the trouble with you men is that you are always ready to lie for one another, even when you ought to know your lying Isn't going to do any good."

John VT. Rapp of New York, maker of metal doors and window frames, has turned over his business to a syndicate for $10,000,000. This sum Is but a part of a fortune cleared In the business in twenty-five years. In a game of ball played by the Wood lawn (ill.)

Letter from a Pnlltlcal Hrathen IV CRYSTAL LAKE, Dakota County, Ne braska, Sept. 7.-To the Editor of The Bee; Men are produced by environment. The Protestant revolution In Germany brought forth Martin Luther; the French revolution Napoleon Bonaparte. But for tha slaveholders' rebellion, Grant might have died a tanner's clerk. Environ ment, too, produces political parties. The death of the whig party was followed by the mushroom growth of knownoth Inglim. I am about the describe an en vironment which produced populism: On the Wth day of April, 184, con gress passed an act, enabling the people of the territory of Nebraska to adopt a constitution, republican In form, and to apply for admission Into the federal union. An act, admitting this state passed at tne last session of the same congress, but met a pocket veto. At the first ses sion of the succeeding congress, an act was passed admitting the state, but im posing the condition that It adopt, as a part of Its fundamental law, a provision which afterwards became the fifteenth amendment to our national constitution. This act was promptly vetoed by Presi dent Johnson, and as promptly passed over his veto. On the first day of March, jsw, Nebraska became the thirty-seventh state of the union. Material Interest, and not disinterested philanthropy, Is the basis of human endeavor. The struggle for existence Is as true In the political as In the physical world. Universal negro suffrage was necessary for the contin uance of the republican party. The ad mission of Nebraska an & republican state would Insure the adoption of such an amendment. The political chicanery practiced by both parties at the election which re sulted in the defeat of .tmin. a,,un.. Morton and the choice of David Butler ror governor, and In sending John M. Thayer and Captain Tipton to the United States senate, would make Cattiin hlti.s and Tweed turn In his grave. A classic poet said that Jupiter laughed at the perjuries of lovers. It Is to be hoped he does the same when he hears a western man answering questions In regard to the population of his state, county or town. Indians, soldiers, hotel registra tions and Inscriptions on tombstone count At the admission of Nebraska into the American union, the unit of apportion ment for representation In the national congress was 177,000. It Is doubtful If me Biaie contained mora than 40,000 bona fide residents at the time. But the pop ulation was Certalnlr la lh,n t, ent population of Its capital city, which tens mon w.roo. The area of Nebraska at Its aJmlssIon , - vuaii fill the New England states combined, leav. .i.K u surplus nearly the site of Connec ticut Its admission to the union, at that time, was an outrage to Itself and an Injustice to the older states, Andrew Johnson was right In his veto, but like many a Judge, unfortunate In the reasons given. He should hava ..in-n. .1. he save In his veto of tha bill admitting w.u.uuu, wnicn was sent to congress on yterday of the day he vetoed the The Isolation of California and Oregon during the extstenco of the slave hold ers rebellion had brought home the cry ing need of a transcontinental railway, as later the voyage of the battleship Ore gon had Impressed the necessity for an Itthmlan canal. In 1882 the work of the Union Pacific railway began and pro ceeded westward from Omaha, and at the same time on the Central Pacific eastward from Sacramento. At the ad mission of Nebraska only 26S miles west from Omaha had been built. Tha 10th day of May, i860, saw the last spike driven which unified the two lines and made the Infant state a continental thor oughfare. Indeed, it was a little else, for not yet did It have Inhabitants suffl clent for a respectable city. In their eagerness to stimulate tho accomplish ment of the Herculean labor of building a road the United States had not only subsidised the transcontinental line by a bond issue varying from $16,000,0u0 to $4S,000,000 a mile, and - aggregating suffi cient for the revenue of a respectable kingdom; but our generous government had given tho road 45,000,000 acres ot land, an area Just Se&M square miles less than Ireland and Wales combined. Jcshurun waxed fat and kicked. Of tha people who Inhabited Nebraska in the very late 'Cos and very earlv 'ia majority were either employes of the roaa or inairecyy dependent upon the great corporation. The lawyers not era ployed by the road lived In hope. Most of the population lived along the trans continental line. The other settlements were small and sparse. Off the line nf road the means of travel would remind one ot Aiacauiey's celebrated third chap ter, In which he treats of the means of travel In England in tho last part of the seventeenth century. Before the advent of Henry Vlllard and James J, Hilt the merchant and set tler along the Missouri north from Omahn depended upon the steamboat Aftor tho establishment of the northern transcon tinental lines these people found Iowa and Dakota markets were moro avail able than Omaha. These commercial conquests tended to divorce northeastern Nebraska from the remainder of th state, so that these counties were in the state only on the map and on election day. In the western and north-central parts ot tha state the farmer, far re moved from market lived In a sod house or dugout and kept up an unequal strug. Ble for existence. The drouth followed the scourge of the Rocky mountain lo cust till life seemed a burden. The poor tiller ot the soil had little time to de vote to politics. He must live five years on his homestead and had two years ot graoe to "prove up" And he avoided taxation by running to the limit. His statesmanchtp was confined to the elec tion of a precinct assessor with Chris tian bowels, who would shift the burden ot government to the shoulders of the nonresident land owners. The rural population of the state was largely made up of Isolated settlements with different nationalities In each set tlement It was not unusual, on visiting one of these to have a child 8 years old, who attended the public school, called as an Interpreter for the parent Among I tneir foreigners the Scandinavians wero republicans, because republican In their language sttmlfted opposition to kingly power, The Cathollo Irishman or Ger man was a democrat because he associ ated tho repulblcan party with know notrdngtsm. The Protestants of these nationalities were republicans, because like Pr Burchard. they coupled the demo cratic party with Rome. The Bohemians wero divided, Hussites and atheists among them (and they ure numerous In this state) were republicans; Romanists were democrats. The American was a republican, because Lincoln freed the slave and crushed the rebellion, or a democrat because he believed that Jef ferson WrOlft tho ril ratlnn nf Inilfci.nil.

The railroad had a vital and material Interest In politics. The governor, the state treasurer and the auditor con stituted the state board of assessment and equalization and had Jurisdiction over railroad property throughout the state. It was necessary to have what wo of the west call "friendly Indians" tn these offices. To do this the state convention must hn cnnrollH. At th metropolis, Omaha, everyone was directly or inairectiy dependent on the road for his living. In the remote parts of tho state, how was it? I have said that there the Inhabitants were too busy in the fierce struggle for existence to heed anything but local politics. Imagine Maine, New Hampshire, Ver mont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut a nn tot- nnrl It wnnt ! smaller than Nebraska, when It was ad mitted into the union. At that time there were organized counties as remote from Omaha (tho old capital) as Aroostook county, Maine, is irom Hoston.

Nebraska had one congressman He was thn nrAAtlirA nf thit rfiltrnlil and ihftli friend, Postmasters were appointed on his advice. His obedient creatures did his bidding. Every postmaster wai provided! with a free railroad pas', and, at every county seat along' tha line of the road, some lawyer was appointed "local at- (ftmntf fflf thm rAorl! rt InftV aftr ttiAfi Interests." A day or two before the county convention, tha postmaster, tne villus nhvuftfi anil thA bitnfeAr lit thmrtk Wero one) would meet in the back room ot one or their ornces; ana, constituting themselves a caucus, would choofe a delegation to the convention.

After the convention was thus thor oughly ruckerlted, motions for a com mittee on resolutions, and to "nominate delegations to the state convontlon" would be carried. As a matter of fact everything had been made up In ad. vance by the little knot of local politi cians, not exceeding three. The chairman of tho convention would be a mert automaton on carrying out the will of his master, Ilka a Jack-in-the-box. Thl Important functionary was generally same rural postmaster with a paucity ot brains and a plethora of vanity. In mock deference for his valuable opinion, he would be called into council by the local triumvirate, and "consulted" as to whom It was best to place on this ot that committee, etc. On the report or the commlttte, each report, on motion, woUld be received and adopted.

Flying Upside Down Pittsburgh Dispatch: That Frenoh avia tor flew upside down again Tuesday. At the same time two who flew right aide up were dashed to earth. Perhaps the real secret of successful aviation Is to do it upside down all the time. Denver Republican: The conquest of the air goes steadily forward, but only at the cost of many lives. The same day which brings the story of Pegoud's amaz ing achievement at Versailles adds the names of Lieutenant Le France and Madame Le Fevre to the list of aero plane victims. But the progress of the science cannot bo checked. There is an Irresistible fascination about it. Just, as there was In the attempt to discover the North Pole. Boston Transcript: No acrobatic feat however daring, can establish tho safety of the aeroplane used. "Looping the loop," as shown by the French airman, Pegoud, Is a remarkable example ot skill on tho part of the operator, but for this very reason the flight upside down only goes to demonstrate still more conclu sively than before the unfitness ot pres ent types of aircraft for everyday use. Aeroplanes hava hitherto turned bottom up while in the air, but the outcome has been death for the pilot. No aviator of moderate ability could follow Pegoud, any more than they could safely emulate Lincoln JJoachey in his terrifying per pendicular dive, or the French flyer Chevtllard, In his chute de cote, the fall sideways through the air. Safety for the average blrdman will come only when his machine will be such that It cannot get Into the condition from which Pegoud' safely extricated himself. The Real Need. Springfield Republican. Flying upside down must be a thrilling experience, but what the publlo Is look ing for Is a machine that will Btay right side up.
