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

acting a law will not chango funda
mentals, and who believe thnt bober

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.

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.

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

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

speaker's nomination.
Ph.lodelphla Ledger: It Is true that
Speaker Clark would have been the dem
ocratic nomlneo for the presidency under

OLD-TIME "FEMALE DANDLES"
Doylcstown (Pa.) Democrat. 1S19
Tls strango that women have become
The dupes of Idle fashion.
They can't content themselves at home,
They keep It up they dash on.
Behold yon little, idlo flirt
Whom age has scarce taught reason;
A CODUrg nai, sne aoes asscri.
Is what she'll have this season.
A collar of the finest lace
She'll have, though not without rhino;
A little powder for her face,
A superfine merino.
Nay, she avows she stamps and cries,
And plays the very ape.
Unless her pa consents and buys
A handsome Canton cape.
Then she must have a parasol,
A reticule for 'kerchlefl
A pair of red morocco boots.
And divers things for mischief!
But still she wants a corsette bone
To battle with old nature:
And thus arrayed she's ail the tone,
A lovely, handsome creature 1
Then forth she sallies thro the town.
And many an hour beguiles;
To common folks she grants a frown
On belles and dandles smiles.
How changed would be her days and
nights
Were Fashion dead and burled;
Ignorance and Prldo had ta'cn their
flights,
And she to Wisdom married.
