The vigor with which men like Sawuel Gompara recent the charge of being boose-fighters shews tho grow ing unpopularity of John Barleycorn Peru seems to be looking ahead to the opening of the canal. Tho rebel )ka down there will give another opening for the policy of "watch and watt," It might not be a bad Idea for tho city council to take a look around aybo there aro some other streets that can bo rescued from tho roil reads. If you are looking for a sure thing, put your monoy on this, that the ad ministration is not going to engage Jlmhamlewis as its official letter iwriter.

Suffrage Is one thing tho demo crats in congress cannot deal with: It belongs to tho states. If you don't believe It, seo how the negroes hare fared as regards voting In the south.

Proceedings before tho city council bring out tho astonishing fact that one street along tho river front has not yet been wholly appropriated by the railroads. Second street, it seems, is now sought by the Burling- ton for trackngo purposes', and the commissioners aro asked to closo the thoroughfare. This fact warrants the suggestion, perhaps, that the city council may be serving tho city well It it hedge about permission to tho railroad to use the street with such safeguards as will mako tho thor oughfare available in event some one of the many plans for river front improvement should over emerge from the matrix of possibility and become a fact. It might be awkward a few years from now to havo to fight with a railroad company to secure a street that might be used for a steamboat landing. . If Second street hasn't al ready gono entirely, the city council would better secure it under public control at once. Omaha as a Grain Market. As Omaha finds now outlets to its grain It intrenches its position among the six prime markets of tho world. Now markets moan increas ing receipts, as tho record for Janu ary, placing us ahead of nil other points for that month, indicates. Our grain dealers aro now nblo to com pcto with thoso of other and larger cities simply because they havo in ten years developed a grain center sec ond to nono in actual advantages. Tho progress of our growth has beon steady, our territory of supply con slantly widening and our outlets keeping pace, until today wo draw grain from sections pre-empted by somo of our rivals, and our dealers, on tho other hand, are carrying their trade into Chicago, Kansas City and Bt. Louis with remarkable success. One point abovo all others wants to bo considered in this connection our geographical location. Strategic as it is, it will bo any amount bettor five, ten, twenty years from now, for our principal territory has only be gun to dovolop. This sanio point must bo considered with reteronco to Omaha's growth and progress along all commercial and industrial, as well as tmroly financial, lines. It la of vital Importance in the dotormlna tion of the regional bank question. It figures essentially in Omaha's un deniable claim to one of these banks. Our business mon cannot make too touch of this in urging tho city's claims in this or any other similarly important connection. Nothing? to Reoornize. Ilucrta'tt troubled soul Is unduly agitated if, as intimated, he con strues our action in raising the em bareo on arms as tantamount to recognition of the rebel belligerency, IIo might find a balm in Gilead to soothe his anxiety it ho but reflected upon the position originally defined by President Taft and reaffirmed by President "Wilson, that the United States would havo nothing to recog- nlzo in Mexico until a responslbln govornmont was established. Thus far there Is no outward indication of an intended donarturo front that fixed course. Tho constitutionalists success, facilitated by tho financial blockade, in crushing the lite out o: tho Huerta reglmo is yet a long ways from setting up an orderly, stable government, such as tho United States domands before according recognition. What Carranza and his forces, after they have finished llu crtn, will bo ablo to accomplish is wholly another question, to bo taken up when reached in turn. On Doakiag Hobicm. The proposal not to par Congress man llobson for twelve days during which he was absent from his placo In tho houso and engaged in cam paigning against Chairman Under wood for the senate need not be taken seriously, first, because mado by one ot the antl-Hobson and pro- Underwood factlonollsts in Alabama, and second, because It might estab Hah a very embarrassing precedent. Mr. Hobson is not tho first or only member of either houso or senate to subordinate tho nation's business to hla own private political or Chau tauqua interests, and it is not at all likely that any ot his colleagues caro to act on this suggestion just yet oven though there is an old law on the statute books to justify such ac tion. This law provides for the non payment ot representatives and sena tors alike for every day not devoted to official business except when hln dered by Illness, but It is no thor oughly obsolete that it took an ex pert statistician some time to resUr rect it. If it ever has been observed, the time slips up now. That, of course. Is no reason why it should not be re garded, nnd perhaps there is no bet ter time than the present to establish a precedent applying: to all ot our public servants subject to its pro visions. But does auyone really be lieve it will be done?

Twenty Years Ago An Irate father of a bcauUful ypung woman administered a sound pounding toT, certain prominent 'massage" doc tor. The young woman had gone to the doctor for a treatment The way In which he treated her did not altogether comport with the father's Ideas on pro fessional massaging. lie thereupon went to the doctor's parlors and gave him a few Impressive demonstrations of aa other kind of layjng-nn-of-hands. It was discovered that a defective elec tric wire caused the fire In the Hoston store, which led to a destruction of sev cral buildings and some $220,009 loss. Asked as to the rumors of a strike among employes of the Union Pacific. Qeneral Manager Ed Dickinson professed not to know of any disaffection. The public generally seemed to havo a. pretty definite idea that the disaffection was quite widespread among the employes, owing to a sweeping reduction of forces and wages. John M. Thurston, general solicitor for the Union Pacific, accompanied by Mrs. Thurston and Q. W. Megeath, superin tendent of the coal department of the Union Pacific, left for Denver to pre sent beforo the federal court the Union Pacific's answer t'o tho Intervening peti tion of Receiver Trumbull of the- Denver St Gulf road.

Toll of the Sea Philadelphia Ledger: Man haa not yet devised means to prevent death at sea It tho stress ot weather Is such as fo prevent usual methods of rescue. Men cannot be raved If the fog Is so thick that they cannot be seen. It Is not ap parent that more lifeboats would have been of value when tho Monroe sank. Man Is a pigmy In the grasp of oceans. New York Tost: Along with its grief and mourning, the deplorable disaster off thi Virginia coast brings that consolation which comes from tho contemplation ot the devoted and heroic actions of officers and men. Among these, the act ot Ferd inand J. Kuehn. the young wireless oper ator, who sacrificed his chances ot being saved by taking oft his lifebelt and putting It on a woman passenger, stands out with apcclal pathos. But all ac count agree that officers and crew ac quitted themselves nobly. St. Louis Republic: Tragic a the story 1. It Is also a fine one. On tho bridge was alt that prudence, experience and fidelity could devise. When the crash camo the crews acquitted themselves not only as able seamen, but n brave gentle men, and among tho passengers the cour age and tho gallantry were of the same clean strain. But above the prldo and tears looms the terrible liability when the eea goes black. Notwithstanding both Khlps were groping, tho Monroe was bo badly damaged that it sank a few min utes after tho shock. It suffered a mortal wound despite the greatest pre caution, and It may well be presumed that had vigilance slacked ever bo llttlo the collision off Virginia would have exacted a far more terrifying toll. Washington Post: There are two ways In whlh the conditions can be remedied. Congress must cither determine stand ards of safety that aro effective by le- qulrlng a crew sufficient in number nnd in skill, or, If congress will not do this, all laws providing for limitations of shipowners liability should be repealed and Insurance written In the names of tho actual owners, sa that they should be made liable In their corporate and private capacity, this forcing them In nelf Inter rct to provide for proper safety. If like the railroads, the steamship lines were held to .atrlot and full liability to tho traveler for Injury, and to his holrs In case of death, they would not be run at breakneck speed through storm and fogs, with only threo severely taxed men on deck. Haiti and Its Rulers The Republic of Haiti, the western end nt th island Columbus called "Uiuo Spain.' was tho earliest example of t nominal constitutional government car rled on by black men. Columbus found 2,000.050 friendly In dlans on theIsland. Slavery killed them off, and negroes from Africa multiplied In their stead. Of these 1,500,000 do scendants now live In Haiti. Nearly alt are pure, black: the mulattoes diminish In number. The whites were massacred or driven away In tho revolutionary wars, The present republic had belonged to France a century when the French reV' olutlon began. Slavery was then abol ished, a black rebellion took place 'and the British Invaded the Island, but Toussalnt l'Ouvorture, & black Georgo Washington, drove them out and set Up a constitution. Napoleon sent nis brother-in-law, Goneral Lecvlera (pretty Polly Bonaparte's husband to subdue the blacks. He made peace with Toussalnt, seized him treacherously and sent him to Paris. But the same year, 1803, thai Toussalnt died In prison there the French fled from the Island, Its people were thus the first to get tho better of Napo leon, four years beforo the reverses In Spain, nine years before Moscow. Leclerc had died In 1C02. The Spanish portion of the island broke loose from Spain and was Joined to Halt! but was separated In 1844 as the Republic of Santo Domingo.

AURORA. Neb., Jan. SS.-TO tho Kdltof of The Bee: Having read so many articles on eo many different subjects in your paper by noted writers and others, I will Pen you a few lines for publication on what I think the most important ques tion before the people today, and that is the drink habit, which wo can see by closo observation Is on the Increase. Who would have thought forty or fifty years ago of seeing women of today swilling beer and drink as they do. The most dis gusting thing ot the present time. Don't tell mo the temperance people are accom plishing wonder in the way of reform. Just look around a little and be convinced of the real truth. And to think we boast to the world of our great Christian civil ization. It's all a farce. Why do we sup port our great government by placing a duty on the very thlnga that drive men to heli nnd then brag ot our Christian enlightenment? Is it anything to bo proud or, or offer to heathen nations? Are we as good as the American Indian, whom we navo destroyed and trampled under foolT All their vices the. white man taught them. why don t some of our gTcat speakers and noted men try to see It we cannot get our government to co out nf th liquor business and Just see how soon tho curse will end. Take off all duty, let all who wish manufacture it. but nii,-tf no ono to sell, and Just seo how soon It will all disappear. But, no, go Into nny city and count the pillars of the church and see how many are In favor ottloslng vices or all kinds. They aro easily counted.

To the Editor of Thn Bee: Whllo walking south on Fifteenth street this afternoon. I noticed a larta crowd assembled on the corner of Ff- iccnin ana Dodge etreot. where a police booth Is located. When I drew nearer I saw two large, husky police officer standing in front of the police box, but i coma see no prisoner. After waiting about five minutes tho police auto arrived. I expected the police officers to take from the police booth some dangerous crim inal or bold bandit. But instead, to my surprise, a timid little woman stepped out jhe was crying and seemed to feel very nervous. She did not move oulto fast enough It seemed, so Officer Rlsh llng. In his gruff voice, as if he wcro talking to the most hardened criminal. yells out, "Come on get In here." Ho not ceing satisfied with using such lancuacn to a woman, language unbecoming to an officer and a gentleman, he also grabbed tho little woman, who offered no resist ance, by the shoulder and handled her very roughly, I surely thought the way he treated her, she must havo committed a terrlblo offense. So I listened to hear what the charge might be. I heard tho oflcer say to tno patrol conductor, "violating the rules of tho street crossing, on foot." Now. I think this is an utter disgrace to humiliate a woman publicly In that way. I will admit I did not see tho first part of this incident or the actual viola tion of this city ordinance, but It makes no difference It she did violate this so sacred ordinance, or even If she had committed a crime worse than which she did commit, I do not bolleve that any police officer Is authorized to administer punishment It alwoy was my understand ing that we have courts of Justice for that purpose. It certainly la a disgrace I to humanity to see a police officer act' that way in this civilized age. the twen tieth century. Thanking you In advance for tho space you will give this. I am yours very truly, MORRIS H. ROBENBIjUM, 702 North Nineteenth Street. "N. R. I am merely a disinterested on looker. I do not know tho woman at all. Twice Tola Tales Not In Her Line.

For awhile wo thought the tariff woulU bring ruin everywhere:, Everybody got to grumblln, we were sunk In deep despair; Then when Vanderllp Informed us that the money bill was bad Wo concluded we were likely to loso everything we had; But It looks as It somebody had stirred up a needless fuss: Confidence Is back on duty In the Hollow here with us. ' Everybody's lookln' cheerful; yesterday I got my hoo And dug up tho hundred dollars that X hid awhile ago; There ain't any indication that & panic's very near: Talk about tho cheerful- prospect Is tho only thing Wo hear; Things aro on the hum nnd nothln' secma at present to bo wrong, v So It's time for -erybody to brace up and help along.
