Not na tional honor, not doing tho square thing by Great Britain, not simplifying our rotations with Japan and othor powers, on which scoro alono tho president is demanding repeal. No, It urges compliance with Great Britain's demands, on tho soctlonul plea that freo tolls for coasl tvIbo shipping would benefit the coast' states more than it would tho peoplo of Nebraska, Iowa and othor Interior states that have no shipping Interests.

Every time tho need of a boys' fcourt Is spoken of, a feeling of self-incrimination must come to tho heart of tho thoughtful and serl-ous-mlnded father and mother. For why hucIi a public ngency but that the home is falling short of Its full responsibility? Commenting on this uvenile Judiciary, tho Chicago Tribune .ob serves: I.tttle, Indeed, Is the attention which most parents give their boys nowadays. When the fathor leaves the house at d:M In tho morning ,to. go to the factory, his son is sleeping. Why should ho not? School does not begin till 0 o'clock. When the parent re turns home in the evening he is cither too tired or else too dull to exert much of a,n Influence over his child. The child, experiencing so little parental au thority, Is pretty likely to get Into trouble. Our modern life Iras cost dearly if it de stroys tho compact family circle. Under former conditions, when each member of tho household, of necessity had his and her chore to do in the early morning and late evening in ordor to keep the home running smoothly, father and mother and son and daughter saw more of each other, rubbed elbows moro frequetly, lived together on moro intlmato terms of relationship than they do today. Then no ono clamored for boys' courts or schools of correction for tho girls. The "big brother" movements were, un known, for natural kinship was -coming nearer to answering all demands. But changing external conditions aro not alono to blamo. Wo must adjust ourselves to all these natural ovolutlons. No one will prosumo to say that tho boys' court is doing tho Job of the homo better than tho homo could do it. The boys' court meanp merely that parents nro shirking their duty. A Fine Sclcotion. Wo bellovo ovcryono interested in tho move ment will heartily approve tho noloctlbn 'of 'Geri cral Frodorlck A. Bmlth to head Omaha'o city planning commlttoe. Having retired from a long and honored service in tho army and es tablished a permanent residence hero, General Smith will bring to tho work the varind olo tiiontfl' of strength required for tho part as signed to him. Perhaps hotter than anyone else who nllght have been chosen, he will typify tho spirit 'of disinterested zoal and effectiveness es sential to tho task. For this is a work that calls for united effort of tho community. There foro, to make General Smith's appointment a complete success, all of those with tho welfare of Omaha at heart, dotormlned on advancing its growth and development, will promptly lend their moral and material support. 3$ HI Nepotism Under Madera. Nepotism is a deadly canker in the body politic of any government indulging it. It was visualized In the grimmest senso In the Madero administration of Mexico. That may bo put down as one of the salient reasons for Its col lapse, though there wero doubtless enough othor reasons to Insure failure. Even though generally understood at tho time that this prac tice was carried on by tho Madoros, It Is- ox- tromoly doubtful If the extent of this nepotism has ever boon widely known. Major CaBsiun 10. GUlotte, formerly of the United States engineering corps, purports to ro- veal It in his pamphlet, "Moxlco and tho Unltod States," a reprint of an articlo in tho Fobru.try issue of the Trend Magazine. He gives names of twenty-two of tho leading members of Madoro'B administration who were his brothers, uncles, brothers-in-law or cousins. Tho most .distant relatlvo was an undo of his wife's brother, and only one camo in that category. Four wero his own brothers, one his brother-in-law, fourteen bis cousins. If this was the Madero idea of a Belf-govorn log democracy, and we havo no altornatlvo for concluding otherwise, then it is idle to lament what he might have accomplished toward re storing orderly government and national con tentment to Moxlco. History has not as yet passed Ha Judgmont on Madero, and it will not until time lends a better perspective. Major Gillette, who claims tho right of speaking with moro than common accuracy of Mexico and Its .politics, utters this shuddorlng sentence upon him: When real history Is written, he will appear as the most colossal criminal or the most colossal foul of modem times. It is, perhaps, enough for those less .intimately- acquainted with the actual facts not to pass Judgment, nevertheless, realizing that with 'the best that can be said for Madero, ho did nothing of lasting benefit In the year and a half of his stewardship of Mexico: nothing by which now, In the crisis of its existence, the best o! its people can help tho country. Whatever in fluence ho left has gone merely to swell the rising tide of anarchy and war. IcMr I.itml it Single Tnx Arnnment. OMAHA, March . To tho Editor of Th6 Bee: The artU'lo appearing In Wun ilay'a Beo In reference to vacant lots In Omaha Is certainly a severe indictment against the system of private ownership of land. Eight thousand acres of valu blc, unproductive land within the city Ilmltfl of Omaha Is surely a tremendous burden for the community to bear. Next to an Idle man an unproductive piece of land Is the greatest menace confronting soolcty today. The followers of the single tax theory may believe that the shifting of all taxes to the land will be a solution of this problem, but, beneficial as such a change may be, the fact remains that, after taxes have tbeen thus collected wo would ntlll have tlia tnterest, prollt and rent question to deal with and therein lies the greatest source of evil, and It all grows out of the private ownership of land and machinery. Our water works system has cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars moro than It should have cost, because of the miles and mllos of expensive pile laid past thousands of vacant lots, from which the plant derives no Income on tho In vestment, and a remedy for this would be a special, annua, water tax levied against every vacant lot on the city where the water supply Is available but not used. The same principle Is Involved In every other public service corporation. Valuable and productive . corn fields are converted Into suburban lots and after a few have been Induced to build homes the street railway company Is induced, through Improvement clubs and various other means, to extend Its lines. New school houses arA made necessary by thin Isolated community, and so on down the line. This evil should be taxed out of exist ence but Instead of Belling the property to private Individuals at a tax sale, tho title should pass to tho state on nil prop erty sold for delinquent taxes and leased back to any citizen desiring to tiso It upon the payment of a nominal rental equivalent to the amount of taxes paid on other similar property. Tho term "idle man" not only Includes the man who will not work, but embraces also that largo number of men who ren der no service at all, but llvo in various ways off the profits of others' labor, as well as the man who, though busy from day to day, does not, through force of circumstances, follow what may be called useful or necessary labor. Put tho Idle man as well ns the Idle acres to work and you will not hear very much moro about the high cost of living. J. Mowing Down to hr IlrltUh. SOUTH OMAHA, March 2.-To the Editor of The Bee: In tho early days of this republto had any president proposed that we submit to England or any other country on any proposition that concerned ourselves alone, there would have been a vehement demand for his resignation or Impeachment from all over the country. Had such a proposition been submitted to Andrew Jackson by England as has been submitted to President Wilson and b'y him submitted to botM houses of con gress with the demand that they follow his advice, his anger and Indignation would havej known ho .bound" and he would -have told them In plain and un diplomatic language they they could go straight to hades with their demand that they have a say about a canal that wo havo paid more than 100,000,COO for. Wero Andrew Jackson alive today ho would demand the resignation or Im peachment of Wilson for even thinking of submitting to the demands of England, let alone trying to coerce the representa tives of the people in congress Into vot ing against the wishes of tho nation and ofralnnt their own sentiments. Had such a proposition been made to a republican president at any time and had he demonded of congress that It pass a bill repealing the toll exemptions, there would have been one mighty howl from New York to San Francisco on the weak ness shown by a president of tho United States. Had President Taft submitted such a proposition to congress the pooplo who call themselves progressives would have made such a roar about It that they could have been heard clear across the ocean to England. William J. Bryan would have denounced Taft as a traitor to his country from Halifax to San Diego and would have howled his head off about It. But what does ho do now? Nothing at all. Ho does not want to lose thit Job of acting sesretary of state and submits to all the demands of Wilson as meekly ns a little lamb. Had the United States minister to Eng land under Taft made the silly speech at a banquet that Wilson's minister made recently, he would havo been denounced bitterly by all the enemies of Taft and his resignation would have been de mnnded. drapo Juice seemed to haTe a bad effect on him. It Is time the old-fashioned patriotism of tho tlmea of Andrew Jackson, of Daniel Webster, of Abraham Lincoln, and even of the time of Grover Cleveland, was awakened throughout this land to show tho nations of the earth that we have not so far fallen from the stalwart days of old that we approve of submitting to the demands of other nations on questions that concern ourselves alone and that we are not so pusillanimous that we are afraid to assert ourselves In the face of evon the half-breed Mexicans, for fear we might offend England or some other country. The people of the United States should arise- In their might and old-timo stalwart patriotism and domanduhat wo BBtert our rights even in the face of England and Japan and Mexico. The president of the United States should bo shown that he is not tho king and that the peoplo through their rep resentatives are the rulers. F. A. AQNEW. In Other Lands The Ulster Shindy Tho really cruel feature of Senator Craw ford's defeat by a regular is that he bad the benefit of the personal presence of Glfford Plncbot with bis official blast of the colonel's war-note. The way the G, O, P. refuses to go out of business In South Dakota is perfectly unbearable. Every one of those Panama exposition ex cursion tickets ought to carry the privilege of stopover at Omaha. What are our Commercial club and Retailers' association going o do about it? The Ulster Muss. Political events aro moving swiftly In the Brit ish Isles these days. Almost every hour marks a shifting of scenes. For a time the orange colors fluttered merrily above the union Jack, while In the distance the sunburst of Erin flapped Idly around Its staff, as If outside the path of tho big wind. Making proper allowance for political exaggerations and party claims the Ulster muss reveals a danger ous lack of concerted aggrcsslvo action in the min istry. It is evident from the blunders admitted and tho misunderstanding of army orders that responsi ble ministers, In their eagerness for peaceful com promise, allowed matters to drift m a careless, slipshod way, narrowly escaping destruction. Above the tumult and the shouting of party opponents there is shown In clear outline the far-reaching lnfluenco and power of the tory aristocracy, and Its readiness to disrupt the army to accomplish the overthrow of the Asqulti ministry. Home rule Is uui iiiu usro wejr picture lv. it nappens to do me most effective means of harassing the government In the hopo of driving It from power before tho five-year term of Parliament expires. Back of homo rulo are Welsh disestablishment, the one-man, one voto -measure, and the haunting specter of Lloyd George's land reform (scheme. Each of these meas ures cut Into the tap-roots of aristocracy and privi lege and their passage Into law would complete tho downfall of tho nobility as the ruling power of Great Britain. The hazard is too great for the aristocracy to overlook any means which might suspend or reverse the sentence. Ulster's defl serves as a rallying cry for all the forcea opposed to progress. It looks now ns if the very desperation of the tory fight has stiffened tho spinal column of the Asqulth ministry, and tho blunder of pla cating tory army officers will bo wiped ort the slate by the stern command: "Obey orders or leave tho service." Tho battlo as It proceeds will supply an abundanco of thrills, besides furnishing mas terly v specimens of political strategy, dramatic posing and vocal whirlwinds In and out of Par liament. (iniiililliisr Mania. Monto Carlo commands a larger variety of pub licity than any temple of the fickle goddess, and thus gives strength to tho current impression that It monopolizes tho gambling business In Kuropo. The fact la that Monto Carlo la the more fashlon ablo resort of the sports of all nations and does moro business than any one of the thousands of public and prlvato gambling resorts In Europe. The gambling mania Is widespread. It is a licensed busi ness In France, tho government taking a percentage of tho profits. One hundred and thirty-three casinos were licensed by tho state for operation at various resorts last season. Tho city of Nlco conducts a municipal casino. Enehlln. the nearby holiday re sort of Paris, Is literally a rendezvous for amateur and professional players and does ono-tltth of the gambling business of France. Besides the seasonal casinoH there are 4,600 licensed clubs, besides tho various wayil of playing the ponies at race tracks. M present the state takes IS per cent ot tne gross receipts, which have Increased four-fold In soven years. The vastnesa of the business in France may be guosaed from the one statement that the Paris mutuols machines at race tracks last season took bets totaling Sn.000,0O). Gambling is carried on extensively In Germany, particularly In Berlin, but Is less obtrusive, and obtains llttie publicity. In Austria a gambling concession granted by a clique of politicians developod into a huge- graft scandal which so affected the Integrity of the ministerial party that Premier Count Tisza refunded tISO.OOO out of his own pocket to placate investors roped Into the deal. Only last month a case revealing tho preva lence of gambling among men and women of the West End of London came beforo a local court. The woman Involved In a gambling debt admitted having a,n average yearly Income of 115,000 from games played at her home. Iloohotle, Swindler.

I I. serves 10 expittin wny iiromouun nwucwuo ng large returns draws family savings out of count less stockings. Tho traglo death of tho editor of the Paris Figaro, shot to death by the wife of Finance Minister Calllaux, is directly due to the escape from Justice of Henri Rochette, a promo tion swindler .of magnificent proportions. Rochette was a waiter In a country hotel, and having in herited 11,000, moved to Paris and started on an amazing career of high finance. Within a space of ten years he rose to the head of sixty banks In France, with branches in Spain and South America. Such a wizard of finance could not exist, much less resist, establishing close relations with gov ernment politicians, consequently his operations were linked with the prosperity of political favorites. By promoting a successive series of banking companies, each paying large dividends out ot Inflated capital. It Is calculated that $30,000,000, much of it from small Investors, was drawn Into Rochotte's schemes. Even when the crash In 1910 was but a few hours away, the political Insiders, on advance Information, rigged up a deal on the stock market and skinned the crowd for 13,000,000. With ample means at his com mand and political influence, Rochette got off with a two-year sentence and a nominal fine, and that was held up by appeals. A second trial on other charges was delayed by tho Influences which pro voked the newspaper charges. Not until President Poncalre took office a year ao did Rochette realize that the game was up, and fled the country. Ac cording to pollco advices In Paris his whereabouts Is not known. Suffrage In Austria. The militants of Great "Britain are obsessed with the Idea that outlawry, ruffianism and wanton de struction ot property are the only effective means of convincing the nation of the Justice of their cause. The farther they go on that road the farther are they removed from the goal. Aa far as present signs can be Interpreted the militants have not only lost ground, hut have turned countless friends Into determined foes, rar uiuirenv wra correspondingly effective Is the campaign of repre untatlvo women of Austria. Up to last spring Austrian women were prohibited by law from taking an active part in politics. Systematic agitation on nrderlv lines resulted In repeal or tne promuuion, and they are now free to participate In political affairs, though not yet eligible to vote. They are taking an active part in economic affairs, and as housekeepers have effected reductions In the prices of noma necessaries In Vienna ana run,n. ueaaers of the movement havo been elected to municipal committees and for tho ftrst time a woman has been put on the housing committee of a town council. Though tho advance la comparatively slight, a i,nh has been made in the walls of law and cus tom, and progress toward complete equality is a matter of time. Nebraska Editors Dr. J. Ray Shlke has purchased a half in terest in the Nemaha County Republloan. J. H. Dundas, editor of the Auburn Granger, celebrated the thirtieth anni versary of his ownership ot the paper last week. The Beemer Time has bend sold by O. X, Mayfleld to H. H. Pease, who waa unlll recently editor of the Stromsburr News. Mr. Mayfleld will take a position on the staff of the Norfolk News. The Wlsner Free Press, conducted for many years by S. E. Kelly, has been sold to H. A. Craney the former foreman of that paper, and will be published, as heretofore, as a republican newspaper. Judge Johnathan D. Heywood, who has been owner of the Crawford Courier for the last seven years, sold ths paper last week to W L. Klswlck, who has heen onnee ted with the caper for soma time.

New York World: The Ulster men In their enthusiasm "shot up" Belfast with their revolvers. In the old days our cow boys did that In Dodge City and other frontier towns without any menace of civil war. Chicago Record-Herald; Apparently As qulth has no alternative but to press tho home rule bill and abide by tho conse quences. Will Ulster fight when It has a chance to vote Itself out of tho home rule scheme for six years? Sioux City Journal: Opposed to fur ther concession, however, Is the fact that It must mean the knuckling down of a large majority to a small minority. The Incentive to further compromise by the nationalists also is discounted by the un derstanding that, however brave a fight Iho Ulster minority might put up It must prove hopeless against tho full military strength of the United Kingdom. Philadelphia Ledger: Both the na tionalists and liberals have gono to the limit of reasonable concession to the fears of the'Uistermen. Every guarantee haa been offered them against religious oppression, and now they have been given the option of voting on tho question whether they shall Immediately come un der the operation of the home rule bill or retain for a six-year period their po litical connection with the imperial Par liament All these overtures have been rejected. The Ulstermen will have every thing or nothing, and tho curious anom aly develops of loyalists willing to go to War aaglnst the government, toward which they profess such unshaken loyalty. Pittsburgh Dispatch: It looks as if the matter had gone too far to be ended with out an attempt to raise an' insurrection! but there are very strong Indications that It will be short-lived. In the first plRce Belfast and Londonderry them selves do not expect it. A correspnodent of the Westminster Gazette who has been investigating the matter says that no Bel fast business man Is preparing for It, and ho has heard In that city more talk of foot ball In one afternoon, when a match was played, than ho would hear of civil war In a week. Then, too, the fight be ing mado to arouse conservative enmity throughout the kingdom has failed. Many of that party believe that a grave mis take was made in rejecting Mr. Asqulth's compromise. It Is quite plain that while there may be sympathy for the Ulster rebels outside of Ulster, it will not be shown In overt acta. CHEERY CHAFF. "I say. old chap, you're an extravagant BArnnn.
