Looks as If this wholesale appoint ment of probate attorneys for the In dians by Commissioner Cato Sella might be another pork-barrel affair. The next thing In order will ba a definition of the pool hall. Does It Include a billiard room? Or a ton pin alley? What about a dance hall? Not only President Wilson, but Boss Murphy, promises his support to Governor Glynn In "any uplift" that will boost tho party Vlf uplift Is the word." An exchango la puzzled ovor our "Futuro oil supply." Does It think paying that measly $12,000,000 tax is going to Interfere with tho resources? Camlnettl's views of Chinese and Japaneso Immigration do not, wo aro told, accord with tho president's. Neither does Catnlnettl'o views on the white slavery law. We still think the Chicago vlco commission's remedy tho best for curlBg the social . evil "Just annihi late It." Somobody Bhould havo thought of that 4,000 years ago. It Is aanounced that n new bull moose club has Just been organized, with a roster of about twenty mem bers. A few more will havo to be dratted to fill all tho places on tho ticket. A. senator being sued by an alleged .blackmailer hints at grand jury ac tion when his trial Is finished. Why Should not those engagod In thti hold-up business answer for their crimes? A "pay-as-you-exlt" church Is pro posed to relievo the tender Benslbill ties ot stay-at-homes disturbed by the contribution box. But that doc not go to the core ot It, for the so called "free" churches Bhow plenty of empty pews. A Question of Legal Ethics. A nlco question ot legal ethics Is presented Just now before tho people of Omaha. Tho people of this community are paying $5,000 a year of their money to John h. Webster to servo them as nttorncy for the Water board.' The attornoy who has been taking tho city's money, however, now appears fighting tho city as attorney for tho street railway company, seeking to enjoin the submission of tho seven-for-n-quartcr initiative ordinance. Perhaps the streot railway com pany pays tho pooplo of Omaha's Water board attorney moro money than he draws out of the public treasury. Perhaps Home other law yer would bring the suit for tho street railway company If he did not. Perhaps it Is merely a legal tech nicality, anyway. We do not be lieve, however, that Mr. Webster, while accepting the streot railway company'a money, would accept any one's elso money to bring stilt against the street railway company. So much for legal othlcs. Senatorial Perquisites. Tho committee to audit and con trol contingent expenses in tho sen ate, evidently finding little to do, has offered a resolution limiting to $00 a year tho ntnount each senator may spend for "froe" telegrams. Natu rnlly, It provokes sharp differences of opinion nnd debate, and, in view of tho fact that all the senators com bined spont only $ 2,522 for tele grams In throo months, seems a sheer waste of much ammunition on Tory email game. Why not, as Senators Bryan of Florida and Lodge suggest, simply let tho old rulo obtain of leav ing It to each senator to distinguish between prlvato and public business? Evidently there is no great amount of abuso now under that rule, Senntor Qalllngcr offers an amend ment, concurred In by Senators Root and John Sharp Williams, to abolish freo uso of totographlc wlros, each senator mooting tho oxpenso out ot his own pocket. To this Senator Thomas objocta that as a mattor ot consistency It would obllgo them to abolish nil perquisites, Including tho clerks and secretaries, which scorns to bo a rather strained construction. Surely with so many solf-appolntcd public monitors of prlvato morals, tho old rule should continue safo enough. Power of College Athletics. Thoy reckon without . their host who think athletics havo not taken a vital and official hold on tho conduct of tho American college What at first was but a slde-llno diversion Is today as much a part of tho average college lite as Bdonco or tho classics. It occasions no aorlous commont when a bdard votes a larger salary to tho physical or athletic director than to a loading professor. Lnfayetto college in Pennsylvania has Just furnished a striking illustra tion of tho power ot collogo athletics. For noarly a quarter ot a century Dr. Ethelbort W. Warflold has served that Institution as president, In which time it has onJoyod "a growth without precedent" in Its own his tory, nud President Warfleld has taken his placo among leading col lege executives, But bolng old- fashioned In his Ideas of a college, ho opposed tho prominence given ath letics. Ho might as woll havo ten dered his resignation and boon done with It, for ho has virtually been recallod" by students and alumni, and at tho end of tho present scholas tic year will stop down and out to make way for a president who be lieves that othletlcs foot ball, baso ball and all tho rest belongs along side the Greek root, calculus and tho history ot llfo as a part of modern education. And wo do not know but this case may be considered m typical. Of course, tho rightful place ot col lege athletics Is not to bo denied, but It Is one stdo of tho life that will al ways call for the very wisest reguU' tlbn. lookiivd Backward' tTkDy11 Omaha tsMriue ram bis nus T 18. Can It be possible that the Influ ence of our Ministerial union has fallen so low in Us own estimation that it withholds a merited endorse ment for fear it might provo a detrl ment Instead of a help? Are theso ministers willing to admit that tbcro are more ungodly people than godly? According to our esteemed friend ' Dill" Curler, whatever odium has come upon the lawyers is due to tho fact that they do not brag enough about themselves. We nominate the Hon, William F. Gurloy to be head professor ot brag in our local law school, and move to make It unanl suous, Congressman Klnkald has bo far eschewed matrimony, but let no one accuse him of not bolng an enemy to race suicide.

There ho heard a loud colio ana turning to discover tho causo was seized from be hind. He was beaten Into unconscious ness and left lying for police officers to rescue. He lost $55 In cash and a watch worth $100. All was as merry as the tinkling bells of Christmas at the Murray hotel, where J. "VV. Tinkle and Stella' Tinkle of Mis souri Valley were registered. Rev, T. J. Mackay, preaching at All Saints Episcopal church, declared that there waa reason to think M6ses may havo been a socialist and there was a good ileal In common between the ancient Jewish lawgiver and Henry George, our prcaent-day political .economist. Out at Frtd Chrlstlanson's home, 1JS3 North Twenty-fourth street, a pesky gas oline stove got obstreperous and did about J00 damage to the place, though none to the occupants, so, Inasmuch as there was JJ.OOO of Insurance to cover the property loss, Mr. Chrlstlanson managed to beor up with fortitude. Ten Years Ago umor arauna me urain exchange and Commercial club was to the effect that ot last Omaha business' men had risen In their iro and might combat the rail roads or discriminating against this city In tho matter of rates and service.

February Is a short little month nnd often a squally little month In tho weather line, but It Is the month of months when It comes to red-letter days. Thero is groundhog day to be gin with, then Lincoln's birthday, Valentino day and Washington's birthday, nnd It we recognlto tho dls- puto prevailing in somo sections ot the country as to whether groundhog day properly falls on tho 2d or tho 14th, which leads to tho observance of both days as a compromise, wo have flvo Instead ot four ot thesa red-lotter ovents. But in addition to UiIb galaxy ot gaieties. Fobruary makos a still larger appeal to popular acclaim as the month In which tho professional ball players moblllto and move for ward for their spring training. In ye olden times men knew tho back bone of winter was broken when thoy Baw the geese fly north: now they re allze it In tho flocking ot the ball players to tho southern training camps. It is even a surer sign than the chirping ot the first robin, for robins are often deceived by unseas onable balmlness; base ball never is No. tho liquor people Bhould not accuse Uio World-Herald of lncon alstency. They should merely charge themselves with damphoollshness for having furnished the votes and tbe money to send tha editor of tho double-endcr to the United States senate. People and Events Twice Told Tales Th Knuler Wny. Speaking of the work being done by the Carnegie Foundation, which recently hold Its annual meeting In New York, Jacob Gould Schurman, president ot Cornell, university, said In Ithaca: "The generosity, tho Intelligence and unselfish devotion which Mr, Carnegie has shown In this philanthropy have won for him the esteem of the wholo na tion. "The esteem of one's fellow men Is not an easy thing to win, but, an Mr. Car negie haa proven, not so difficult, either, as the sage considered It to be.

"A liberal millionaire was addressing one night a political meeting of working-men. " 'Vote for the llbeial candidate, our dear Lord Dacre!' he cried. 'Conserva tism, Indeed!

While the yellow Jacket has been the favorite decoration, second only to the ax. bestowed on opponents by the president ot China, he adds novelty to his rewards by bestowing the double cross ot the "Order of the Blue Goose," the bestowal of which signifies that life Insurance won't save him. Some surprise Is expressed In Chicago newspapers over evidence pointing to rake-oft of $81,000 on the purchase of two school sites.

Boston Transcript: One ot tho psy chological puzzlers In connection with the. alleged American mind is tho fact that the very newspapers which In 1SU con sidered Wllllaip H.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: The Pullman com-l pany puts on tho extra prlco for prlvato fctatcrooms, with the statement that "It Is not designed to bring In larger revenues" but to minimize the losses caused by tho cars being partly empty. Some one should start a subscription to 'cscue this company from the embarrass ments caused by Its unprofitable busi ness. Henry Wattereon, In Louisville Courler- Uournal: Federal ownership? Govern ment censorship? Partylsm by process of self-perpetuation? Hitherto It has re quired only, a revolution to effect a change ot parties at Washington. If the people, blindly paying tho fabulous de mands, put theso giant powers In the hands of any group ot public men. It will require on earthquake. Progress, Indeed; after the telegraphs and telephones, why not tho railways; after tho railways, why not all the publlo utilities? And then, as far as our old-fashioned Jeffersonlan democracy goes, why not the deluge? I know not how to differentiate public measures from party leaders. As the egg Is to the shell, Is the statesman to his case. All the republics ot which wo havo Unowledgo came to grief and were carted to the boneyard through the Inability ot the people to distinguish between the truo and the false among their publlo men. In every age and clime the rescript for demagogy has been the same. It is as old aa the hills, as simple and familiar as the selling ot gold bricks, and yet ap parently as effective as ever. Tin Anirrlennit I.nck Patriotism t SOUTH OMAHA. Neb., Feb. 17.-To the Kdltor of The Bee: Is "patriotism" a lost word? Have we no nationality? Why Is It that an Omaha, audience remains seated while the orchestra plays "The Star Hpangled Banner?" As a. natural ized American, I waa astonished on Lin coln's birthday when the national air was played and Lincoln's picture dis played at the Orpheum, to realize that only throe people arose. We pride our selves on being citizens of the "Great Republic," but the citizens of no other nation would have shown so little respect. Play "God Savo the King" and every English subject Is on his feet. While the children in our public schools sing "America" or "The Star Spangled Ban ner" they always stand. Why do theso little Imitators forget the reverence and respect for patriotism? Is It not becauso thoy watch the "grown ups" In their blase attitude toward these things? Could not the theaters and other public places help if a suggestion of some sort was made to their audiences. ONE OF THE AUDIENCE. Actual Cost of Ltvtnir. COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., Feb. IT.

To tho Editor ot The Bee: Will you kindly allow mo to ask our citizens why the negro should be censured In view of tho following condi tions: Our white neighbors claim that we will not rise; that our social and moral status Is at a standstill. They seem to expect us to do from a social and moral stand point In fifty years what It required thorn hundredu of years to accomplish. Tho great mass of negroes aro forced to spend their lives In certain grades of em ployment, such as porterlng work In barber strops hotels, saloons and public resorts. Some negroes aro glad to get this class ot work, first, because it Is about the only field opened to them; second, be cause tho remuneration Is better than In other lower grades Of employment, and. third, tho patrons of theso places show them more kindness and consideration than whites in other vocations. But hero they are brought in contest with types whoso traits ot character and hab its constantly mould their actions. Un lctted and Bomplemlnded negroes aro forced by the cruel hand of fato to work In this lower claas ot employment If one,, by education or Innato ability, struggles to rise above the common herd" he is hurlod back In the vast abyss by that ever-crouching and yearning white beast ot prejudice. I have In mind a negro porter who worked In tho law office of the Nash ville Ss Chattanooga railway nt Nash ville, Tenn. He waa educated, a fine pen man and kept the books for months when tjio stenographer was sick or away on a vacation. If any legal paper were wanted about the office, Billy got them; If they were to be drawn, Billy drew them. One young lawyer that ho greatly assisted became the head railroad lawyer of tho Illinois Central at Chicago. Had Bllly'H skin been white, he, too, no doubt, would have gone to Chicago. He went to work as a porter and died in the same ca pacity. There aro many Billies all over the United States whose ambitions are throttled and crushed by the people who say the negroes will not advance. Locally, one can often hear It said. In the big offices up town, or by the silk stocking bunch, mat tho negroes are largely controlled by Tom Dennlson and his gang. Why not? Dennlson and his gang are the only people In the city who show the negroes any consideration They want to see them have fair play. They get them work; then get them food and get them shelter Why shouldn't they stick? We haven't heard of anybody from the "Farnam district" going out ot their way to do this Dennlson, who Is portrayed as having the unseen horns on his head, took money out ot his pocket and paid off the mort gage on an old negro woman's property that was about to be sold from under her. She was too old to work for htm. She could not vote, so ono can see he had no selfish object In view. Then, If your critics would help the negro to acquire what yojt say he hai not, you must show the spirit ot doing something tangible. Thow open the doors of your stores, factories, foundries nnd mills to our common and skilled laborers, to our clerks and stenographers, and If then wo do not provo ourselves worthy men, put us out: but not till then.
