those of tho subordinates in the Stat

Job six months, while usually a vaca
tlon presupposes at least a year in
the service.
Politics in Massachusetts.
Politics in tho Old Bay state pro
sent Just now as interesting a situa
tion as in any state in tho union, not
barring tho Emplro state, which is
veritably bubbling over politically.
In Massachusetts tho lines aro drawn
for a clean-cut gubernatorial fight,
which ordinarily would dotermlno tho
control of tho wholo Btato govern
ment Tho backsliding of Governor
Fobs, hlmsolf a comparatively recent
democratic convert, has given tho
democrats a new standard bearer by
tho name of Walsh, against whom tho
republicans are rallying behind for
mer Congressman Augustus P. Gard
ner, whllo tho remnant of the so
called progressives will try again
with tho samo leader, Charles S. Bird,
the wealthy manufacturer, with
whom they went down to defeat last
year.
Tho republican nomlnco 1b hailed
overywhero as a man possessing tho
highest qualifications and with an ex
ceptionally fine record as a member
of congress, and in addition stando
out as tho typical exponent of what
is being called "tho now republican
ism." Unless present signs change or
fall, Mr. Gardner will be tho winner
in tho race, in fact his success would
bo assured and conceded even now
except for tho diversion of tho so
called "progressives," As sized up
by tho usually clear-sighted Boston
Transcript, "tho progressive party
will devote Its efforts to polling a
sufficiently largo vote to defeat the
exponont of 'the now republicanism,"
And further, "If tho next governor of
Massachusetts is not Gardner, It will
bo Walsh, for tho only hopo of tho
domocrats for victory this yoar lies
In tho presence of a third party In tho
field made up largely of former re
publicans." In a word, division of
tho opposing forces alono sustains
democratic expectations and the voter
who persists In following tho third:
party wlll-o'-tho-wisp in Massachu
setts merely proclaims that he pre
fers to havo a democrat rather than
a republican in tho governor's chair.
Coal Road Divorcement.
Tho Pennsylvania's purported Bale
of its anthraclto coal holdings raises
tho interesting point that the law was
presumed to divorce all railroads
fronv such properties a good while
ago and yot up to date tho Pennsyl
vania, whoso coal interosts are slight
as compared to other anthracite
roads, Is the only ono to mako a
move, Concurrently with President
Ilea's announcement comes a report
from Washington ot the Department
of Justice's plan to press Its suit
against all thoso lines controlling tho
coal market In Pennsylvania. Nine
railroads aro supposed to control tho
total output ot the anthracite mines
and tho delay in prosocutlng tho suit
for separation undor tho amended
interstate commorco law is not ex
plained.
But what will bo tho effect in tho
event of tho completo dlsassociation
of thoso nine railroads from tho an
thracite coal Industry? Will It reduce
prices to tho consumer? If not, whoro
will tho advantage of tho dissolution
Ho? That surely Is tho practical test
at stako. It stands to reason that
common ownership ot coal-carrying
railroads and tho mines produces
prlco domination, bo that some relief
should bo expected through dissolu
tion. With a steady lncrcaso In out
put and no corresponding increase in
coBt ot production, prices havo still
boon udvancing so that It calls for a
good deal ot credulity to believe that
prices will be materially cut by tho
promisod industrial divorce.
Helpful Immigration.
The notion that immigration, and
particularly tho kind of Immigra
tion that cornea to our shores In
thoso latter days, is not helpful to
our progress, as u nation Is not ac
cepted by the most intelligent ob
servers, much as it may be urged by
restrlctlonlsts as an argument tor
closing tho doors. Let us quote
from a statement of President Harry
Pratt Judson of tho University of
Chicago on his rot urn this week
from an oxtonded trip abroad:
We came back on the Imnerator. the
world's largest ship. In tho steerage
were 1,500 Immigrants. These mme
mostly from the southern countries nf
Europe. These people aro worthy and
enterprising' and honest. They can't set
into our country unless thev are henlthv
and I see no reason for keeping them
out In fact, I believe these Poles and
Biavs ana other races from Europe will.
In mixing and intermarrying with our
Americans, mako for the ultimate bet
terment of our country and our new
race.
Dr. Judson might be referred to as
a "high brow" and possibly as a
"blue-blood." but ho realties that tho
Amerlcon nation is a conglomerate
of all the various nationalities of
Europe and ho sees plainly that our
strength must be maintained in tho
same way that it was built up. If
immigration has been vital in the
past, tho continued Influx ot healthy
and ambitious Immigrants will be
helpful all the tlmo.
It now develops in these homeo
pathic exposes of "The World's Mys
teries" that tho Clay-Randolnh duel
back In 1826 was nothing but a
frame-up Just like a modern wrest
ling match, presumably. Who knowa
but that is what put duelling "on the
bum?"
Nothing of so trifling imcortnn.
as the constitution should stand be
tween friends anyway.

OMAHA, Sept 27. To the Editor of Tho
Bee: Columns are printed In newspapers
on events of sometimes no abiding Im
portance. I am sure you will bear with me
In emphasizing an event and memory from
last ovenlng that has abiding Importance
to our city. I mean tho farewell recep
tion to Dr. M. B. Williams ot the First
Methodist Episcopal church. The ad
vent, labor and departure ot a man of
tho spirit, gospel principles and firm
Christian purpose of Dr. Williams bos an
Importance to any city Infinitely exceed
ing the little affairs of money and In
dustry. In a masterly and to my heart, unfor
gettable address by the manly president
of Omaha university, Prof. D. E. Jenk
ins, emphasis was placed on the fact
that Dr. Williams was that type of pas
tor that docs "not hide the Cross of
Christ" The speaker showed how the
ministry of tho departing clergyman had
been one In which "central things were
contral," by which he meant that the
preaching, teaching and application of the
Cross-gospel stood out prominently. I
wish that address had been stenographed
and printed In all our Omaha papers.
Arid when then an elderly, noble-vlsaged
member of the church, a spiritual pillar,
rose and added a similar testimony In
words full of power, I could not refruln
from saying to myself, "And .such pas
tors Omaha must lose? Such men walk
the Via Dolorosa leading out of our city?
Men of such spirit, with that only mes
sage Christianity has, the message ot the
cross, bo weighted with burdens unutter
able?" If there Is any type of clergy
this city needs, this beautiful, but, oh,
so unchurched city of ours that we love. It
is men, who aro not ashamed of tho
gospel," nor afraid to preach, teach and
apply It
It must be a hallowed memory to a con
gregation's Christian element, that It had
the benefit of a ministry which, as, Dr.
Jenkins said, "did not hide the cross of
Christ," the gospel of redemption In the
blood of the world-Redeemer. Any one
of us honored by the privilege of attend
once at this magnificent and Chrlstlanly
spirited farewell reception could only
wish that the Christian clement of that
congregation and others of our city might
boldly, confidently, prayerfully and with
willingness to suffer In confession of
faith uphold that type of ministry In
Omaha.
I havo often written In these cotums
against the rude ribaldry, the vulgar
slang, the un-blbllcal confusion of Chris
tian truth marking many of the most
popular so-called evamrlli r
Omaha's pastors. Omaha's best, safest,
uoa-given evangelists, has been the
motto. Right here I can fh.n Hinnh
former statements and add: Glvo us
pastors that preach the gospel of the
cross In the sDlrit ne h men!
less In rebuke of sin, fearless in offering
io mo -ureexa and Jews" of Christian
churches the only saving gospel, that in
the blood of Christ Then Omaha yia1
no other evnngellsts. But If the true
pastoral evangelists we have are to find
labor among us a Via Dolorosa, the road
of sorrow, and be stoned out of the city,
then we merit an Infliction In the shape
of those crudh evangelists that insult the
human conscience, that Violate every code
of Christian fineness of spirit, that turn
preaching Into merchandise and make
the church rude and coarse in it niri(i,ni
conceptions and spiritual attitude.
If tho preachers of the cross gospel
hereafter be accorded
in Omaha, our city will leave the ranks
of the most unchurchly cities of the land
ana uo cnangea into a spiritual oasis.

OMAHA, Sept .27. To tho TCrtlfnr nf
The Bee: On crossing the river from
Council Bluffs this morning on a motor
car I could not help notice how deso
late Omaha looked and our mnini in
full blast. The same drearv nlo-hf in
seen from the different railroads entering
tne city, mile rtrst lroprewlon to the
strangers visiting our city for th carni
val la certainly not a very pleasing one
io oay ine least. The cltlsens of Omaha
spend thousands of dollars advertising
the Ak-Sar-Ben one way or oth. nnri
especially decorating a few streets up
town and near the carnival grounds, but
no ono dollar goes to housetop decora
tion. How much more inviting to the
stranger entering the city, if they could
see a flag (Ak-Sar-Ben or Ktin.ii
streamer or pendant floating from every
nag poio in me city. To place a flag
pole In the city would not cost much
ana wouia sua to the appearance of the
town moro than all the Jtreet decora
tion. The two together would make a
pleasing sight
Why would It not be a good plan to
ask every owner of a flag pole to put
up some kind of flag or banner and
keep It up during the rest of the carnival T
Several years ago this was done, along
with the street decorations, and the old
town never looked so Rav and InviHn
before or since. From my office window
I can count at least fifty, flag poles and
not a single one Is carrying a decora
tion of any kind. I believe that if th.
owners of flag poles were solicited they
wouia run up a nag ror the rest of the
carnival. Suerelr worth trying, I am
willing to do my part

Itesrnlate Horse-Drnvrn Vehlni...
OMAHA, Sept 28,-To the Editor or
The Bee; Have the drivers of horse
drawn vehicles in this city any regard
whatsoever ror the rules of the roadT
3t is one ot the most acnrnLvatlnr nmn.
lems of traveling upon publio highways
and one which should demand the atten
tion or our municipal officials.
At a few of the Intersection nf
ant streets In the downtown district
police trarrio officers maintain at least
a semblance of traffics rerulattnna k,,.
away from these corners on the hundreds
or unpoucea crossings, it Is a different
matter.
Few people appreciate th fact th, -
considerable proportion of all traflc ao-
ciaenu are occasioned by this careless
ness upon the part of drivers of horse
drawn vehicles, who contributing so
greatly to the cause, are seldom blamed
for their participation In the dlssaster.
The promiscuous "cutting' of corners,
traveling upon the wrong side of the
street and numerous other evils should
be stopped. Furthermore, mere children
should not bo permitted to drive teams
around the city, menacing the llfn and
Hmb or all who pass their way. The
police summarily put a stop to automo
bile driving by juvenile. A similar step
should be taken In the matter or horse-
driving.
Horse-drawn vehicles, traveling public
highways and streets after dark, aro
subject to the same limitations as motor
vehicles and should be required to carry
lights for night riding. This Is a meas
ure which tho safety of the publlc-at-large
demands.
The automobile has been given a
"rough" deal In tho past. It is tlmo to
wake up and glvo the devil his due. Why
not require of horse drivers the same do
gree of fidelity to road regulations that
Is expected of the autorooblllst? With
fair play In this respect, there will be
fewer casualties and more safety for all
who frequent the roads and streets.

A bry Weather Fish Story.
OMAHA, Sept. 23. To the Editor of
The Bee: A reminder of dry weather and
a fish story In 1S5. I served In the First
Nebraska cavalry as corporal, doing
stage guard duty, from Fort Kearney to
Smith's ranch on the north side of the
Platte river. There were four men and
a corporal and I was the corporal. We
followed the staga from one station to
the other, and would wait for the next
stage. The summer was very hot and
the roads very dusty and tho Platte
river was dry, no water running. We
rode In the channel of the river because
thero was no dust and It was better for
our horses with only small puddles of
water here and there. I saw a very large
catfish and I thought It was dead. It
was not entirely covered with water, so
I put my foot on It and it splashed mud
all over me. I asked my comrades to
help put the fish on my horse. It took
five of us to do the lob. It weighed at
least 209 pounds. We went to the first
ranph and tried to sell It The ranchman
had' no money, but offered me five but
tles of Red Jacket Bitters, which we ac
cepted and we were happy.

OMAHA, Sept. 27. To the Editor of The
Beet' Seven fares for a quarter looks
good at close range, but how about ulti
mate results? Will tho street car com
pany be restricted to Omaha only, or can
they put the thumbscrews on and make
the patrons of South Omaha, Benson and
Dundee make up the loss if there be
any? How would 8 or 10 cents be from
Benson or Dundeo; Instead of 5 cents?
Better let well enough alone and remem
ber our waterworks for an object lesson.
ItNieoms to me tho man who wants more
for his money than a rldo from Albright
to Benson wonts something for nothing.
Of course, the seven-for people will tell
you wo are not all going that way. But
as It is, thero Is nothing to hinder them
If they want to spend a nickel. Don't
make us who have to cross tho line pay
any more, or at least Jeopardize our
chances. I believe in justice, Individual
and corporate, no more and no less. The
one ,1s Interdependent with the other,
notwithstanding the dogma of socialism.

hs walked around among the graves. He
saw a monument one of the largest In
the cemetery, and read with surprise the
Inscription on it: "A Lawyer, and an
Honest Man."
The man scratched his head and looked
at the monument ugoln. Ho read the in
scription over and over. Then he walked
all around the monument and examlnod
the grave closely. Another man In tho
cemetery approached and asked him:

Appears In con-duct very soon.

But cares con-found when love's burnt
out.
Pro-fesslons maidens deem their due.
But wives demand con-testlons, tool
Where maids the merest pro-test heed.
A vigorous con-test wives oft need!
The maid con-vokee the Joys of life,
The wife pro-vokes this leads to
strife.
Hugs in pro-fusion maids allot
Con-fuston Is the underplot!
Yet doubtless wedlocks pro-duct should.
All laid and done, con-duce to good
In the pro-cession, if you'd tako
Your proper place, con-cessions make
The pro-vlnce of this humble verse
Is to con-vlnce things might be worse!
