ROBERT HUNTER, Notary rubflc tibt,crlbera leavlnsr tuo city Irm onurllr sUunlrf have The Ile mulled to tnein. Address will be rhnnsjed aa often as requested. Dr. Eliot's religion seems to rest on a downward rovislon baals. Villa Is tho man on horsoback In MesJco; he admits It, himself. Colo Blease has assured himself ot he convict tote by pardoning 989 of them. Hucrta has never sued anybody for libel for intimating that ho put Mndero out of tho way. "Wo ought to elect good men to the governorship;" oays Goorgo V. iiergo, sonorously offering himself. Columbus, O., is planning doublo- deck streot cars. But won't it bo difficult for tho strap-hangers up meroi Mr. Shustor intimates that Huorta might go by the wlno-collar route. So wo had suspected from the way his anjy lights. Doubtless the prosldoat had a ne ?ret wish, as those 150,000 Chicago women marched to the polls and re istered, that it had been put in tho Platform. The theologian wko'sa'ys that tho world Is more concerned with pro gressive evangelization than creedal orthodoxy Is apt to strike a respon sive popular chord. A hungry, unemployed laborer In Los Angeles was fatally shot by a po liceman for stealing sovon bottles of milk. Tho law must maintain lta majesty at all costs. As an Illustration ot tho efficacy of moral suasion, or laws, fn dealing with sordid criminality, what do you think of our "watchful waiting method ot bringing tho political criminal in Mexico to tlmo? Some day we may get back to tho old established distinction between sin an4 crime and make more head way toward law enforcement, ceastnc to confound the law for the Individ ual with that for the state. Any grudge Japan may have ataiMt Us honorable friend, Uncle San, surely is not based on the num ber of exclusions ot the last fiscal year. According to our immigration statistics, C,859 Japanese applied for admission to our ports and only eighty-eight wero barred. The people elect our senators and rep resentatives and ought to bo the best lodges ot their qualifications, and it In doing so they do not exercise good Judjr tnent It is difficult to understand how they would exercise better Judgment In the recalL-Former Senator W. V. Allen. Will someone who knows tho re call to be a political panacea kindly arise and tell the senator how this lu done? A money penalty is no punishment at all for those ablo to pay, and a travesty on justice, So says a federal judgo in impos ing both a money and prison penalty on a rich malefactor and then con trlbuttng to tho travesty by suspend Jng the prison penalty for no hotter reason than that It had not been a custom In that court. But woe to the next offender, ho warned. To which the present one might bav ejaculated, "Jsbgablbble," A socialist speaker, addressing 500 followers in Detroit, declared Henry Ford's new wage-paying pbll anthropy that ho "Is buying the lite brain and soul ot his men," and even at that paying them "only a small percentage of what they earn." Mr, Ford, in his wildest hallucinations, probably cover dreamed ot satisfying the socialist Idea, but Just for fun It would he Interesting to know how o8e could avoid buying the lite, brain and soul' of bis employes and how ho coma pay mem wnat tney were worth, floor sweepers, for example, wjia ' the Ford works now get J 5 day, .... Advice from Allen. TVs have fallen upon unnecessarily feverish times. I do not believe In tam pering with the constitution. A govern ment Is not a mushroom growth; it does not spring up In a night It la the se quence, ot a long scries of years of In telligent experimentation by which the people gradually seek places ot safety tor the lodgment of power. These words are not from an ultra conservative, as might bo thought, but from ono of tho threo simon-pure populists who sat In tho United States senate when that party ot the people and of vagarious "principles" was in the heyday of its existence. William Vincent Allen thus con cludes a letter to tho public, in which he dissects the "reforms" on wblch a democrat seeks to rldn Into the governor's chair at Lincoln. In other times Tho Beo has agreed with Senator Allen on some matters, and has differed with him sharply on others. It gives us pleasures now to welcome him back to tho ranks ot thoso who do not bellovo that a sys tem of government can be Improvised over night, who hold that merely en acting a law will not chango funda mentals, and who believe thnt bober thought should procodo decls!ve ac tion, Omaha's Supremacy Again. Omaha business interests have won out with tho administration In their efforts at holding tho army sup ply depot, which, ot course, Is a tribute to tho administration's readi ness to listen to argument and heed the power of facts. Thero was never any valid reason for making Omaha fight for tho retention of tho head quarters, since all tbo argumont was on its side. Nevertheless, tho vie tory at Washington Is another con vlncing- Illustration of Omaha's su premacy as a commercial and goo- graphical center, which enables H successfully, as In this Instance, to copo with St. Louis, Kansas City and other places far excoeding Omaha In population. Hero again wo encounter tho forco of nrgumont In favor of locating a regional bank In Omaha. May wo not hopo (hut Inasmuch as the ad ministration yielded on this point in deference to tho showing ot facts our business men made, it will recognize tho samo patent facts In tho location of theso reserve centers? Contempt for Law Officers. Suspicion is attached to certain publlo officials, grand juries set to work and all sorts of excitement aroused over certain sinister Imputa tions emanating from the Hon. Jack Johnson ot Paris as to tho circum stances attondlng his departure from Chicago whllo under bond not to de part. Perhaps all the officials Involved aro 'as innocent ot wrong-doing ao they aft Inn; perhaps no ono 1b culpa ble in this connection. But It will always seem remarkable that this notorious character could have so long and so loudly vaunted his con tempt for tho courts and thon, not surreptitiously, but boldly and above- board, stalked out ot tho Jurisdiction ho was bonded to observe, board a ship and sail off to a foreign land without so much as a serious otfort to obstruct or apprehend him. It is such flagrant defiance and contempt ot tho law that disgusts peoplo with bo many eloctod to en force and administer law. It this man did all this without official con' nlvance, after giving every Indication that ho would do something of tho kind, will someone placed under the shadow ot suspicion by his action offer an explanation approaching plausibility for the occurrence? SUsdardiiing Concrete. Tho Mid-west Concreto Users' as sociation" 'takes tlmo by tho forelock, It seoms to us, In advocating leglola tlon for the standardizing ot concreto and cement for construction pur poses, tor this is Inovltablo. The suggestion comes, ot course, from dealers with tho best lntorests ot the trade at hoart, those who realize that the permanency ot concreto and ce ment In competition with other build' Ing and paving materials must do pend upon standard. Experience has proved the valu and utility ot these materials, but it has also shown that they can be counterfeited by unscru pulous contractors, or poorly made by unskillful hands, looking out more for Immediate profits than tho future of the business. It is probable that collapses ot con crete buildings have been due moro to poor quality than imperfect use of the material. Every such collapso, referred to In the association's con vention, is a serious Injury to the trado and another obstacle In its competition with structural Iron or steel. The tact is there are too many ways ot cheating In the use ot these materials In buildings and Btreots. the abuse undoubtedly being more common In tho latter, simply becauso os a rule the city Is easier to fool and graft upon than a private individual or concern. Not all ot the Inferior ity In these materials Is to be charged to deliberate intention or dishonesty: some, ot course, must bo from lack ot knowledge and skill. That does not affect the main proposition. though, of the wisdom of fixing a Btandard for the manufacture and use ot concrete and cement. Yes, remember, you will help the new police commissioner by doing your utmost, individually, to observn all the laws that are Intended for your government. f I . r Tt 1 jopKiiumacKwaii t JhisJ)ay in Omaha ceMtu ran an nut r FEnnUARY 0, riilrty Year Ago The last act In the consummation ot the deal for the South Omaha stock yards ta found In the filing of a trust deed from Leaverttt M.

Tho youngest probate judge In the United Stages is thought to be Fred M. Broen In Wexford county, New York, who Is 5 years old.

When King George and Queen Mary go to Paris in April they will stay at the British embassy In the Rue St. llonore. The embassy was the residence of Pauline Bonaparte, the second sister of Napoleon I.

"A French maid, when X refused tea the other afternoon, exclaimed: "But monsieur is not like his fellow- countrymen, then!" "Not Ilka them? how so?' said I. "Why,' said the maid, I picked up one of your American novels the other day a Howclls novel and, though I can't read English, I saw there was nothing but 'tea,' tea,' 'tea,' on every page.

New York Tribune. Joahlncr the Artist. As a certain young artist ot New York sat upon his stool ono day In tho Adl- rondacks, doing a bit ot "mountain stuff," there approached him from the rear a native, evidently with ideas ot his own touching art. "Did you ever try photography?" asked the newcomer. "No," was tho curt response ot the artist, who continued his work. "It's a good deal quicker," suggested the native. "I supposo It is," sulkily assented tHo painter, with another dab of the brush. "And," the natlvo added, with a dash of malice, "a good deal moro tike tho place." New York Olobe. nrbuttltiic I.lbel. John D. Rockefeller, talking to a Clove land preacher, said one day: "From the stories that are told about my love of money and my disregard for humanity, you'd think I was some such monster as the criminal of the anec dote. "A judge once said to a terrible crlm Inal: " 'And you actually had the heart to murder this poor man for a matter of CO cents?'

OMAHA, Feb. 6.-T0 the Editor of The Bee: As a churchman, I want to com mend The Beo for suggesting that the Omaha churches co-operate In the go-to-church movement, which has met with such superficial success, at least, else where.

To tho Editor of The Bee: While I cannot blame you or your paper for publishing tho statement In regard to myself and my hotel, I wilt ask you to do me the Justice to publish this statement In as prominent a ptaco as you published the other article. Two men and two respectable appear ing women came to the hotel, and each man registered as man and wife, giving their address as C J. White and wife, Laramie, Wye, and J. A. Johnson and wife, Omaha. They were shown to their rooms by the bellboy. They asked the bellboy for some beer. The bellboy told them ho had three bottles of his own. All of this happened when I was asleep In bod. I have been In the hotel business for fifteen years and this is the first time I ever had any difficulty, as I have always used strict precaution in my efforts to run an honorable and respectable house.

Murphy of Goodland. rotary of tho Women's Temperance union of Kansas, has her hat on straight for the governorship. She doesn't wear a hobble skirt and is therefore foot-free to make a run. tSevcn members of tho Massachusetts legislature are expert boxers, and some of the peven pulled down gpod money In the flstlo ring. Amateurs should think several times before starting a rough house within their reach. State Insurance Commissioner Charles Q. Revclle ot Missouri, is anxious to make a try for tho gumshoes ot senator Bill Stone, but Governor Major Is putting a thick fringe of frost on Charley's ambi tion. Marcus Poltasky ot Ames, Mich., once. a progressive party candidate for United States senator, Is suing to recover on a note for 10 cents, signed up by a Joshing acquaintance. Besides the principal, Mar cus wants 1 cent Interest Lucius N. Llttauer and his brother, William, have been Indicted by a federal grand Jury of New York for smuggling. The brothers are glove manufacturers, but Lucius haa served many terms in congress and never passed up a chance to boost his own business. Tabloids of Science The average length ot life In Sweden is slightly moro than fifty years, which Is very high. Wireless telephones Is now successful up to 300 miles. Marconi says that the Atlantic will be spanned very soon.

New York World. Worse men than Champ Clark have been president. Bet ter men than he havo missed the White House by miles. But thero are no eggs In last year's birds' nests. Chicago Record-Herald: Champ Clark finds that a funny speech he made is being taken seriously. This may be dis concerting, but it Is better than havlns a serious speech taken aa If It were a bit of rollicking humor. Houston Post: Champ Clark told his Baltimore audience that a presidential primary in 1912 would hove landed him In tho presidency. Maybe and maybe not, but Champ ten' going to forget soon how his Judas flagrantly Iscariotcd him In Baltimore. Sioux City Journal: Champ Clark somehow can't get over the notion that he would have been nominated for presi dent If there had been a presidential primary. But it Is doubtful It any man handicapped with such an abominable campaign song as his boosters persisted in singing could win in a primary any better than in a convention. New York Sun: Colonel Roosevelt would probably not agree with the Hon. Champ Clark that that gentleman would now be occupying tho White House It thero had been presidential primaries In 192. Is there not competent and familiar testimony, as bearing upon the question, that the colonel at the time of tho Balti more convention was "praying" for tho speaker's nomination.
