Senator Root to his democratic colleagues:
"Can't ou talkt"
Talk may be cheap, but it takes money to

In times like. these strict observance of tha
etlquct of royalty is not expected. Nererthe

have prompted Cousin Bill to tell Cousin George
that he would drop his calling card at Sand

The question of what railroad property la to
be taxed locally, and what la to be lumped In
the right of way, affects sot only Omaha, but
every city and town in the state. If any rail
road property Is escaping Its fair share of taxes,
the hale should be plugged up.
Americans, whether partisans or neutrals,
who presume to know the whys and wherefores
of the war, might profitably heed the caution
jrtven Englishmen by Lord Rosebery: "We
must then, I think, suspend Judgment aa to the
real causes of tha war till time and- documents
are given."
David Guggenheim and George. W. Perkins,
captains of many corporations, agree that large
fortunes on the passing of the owners ought to
be taxed to aid tha needy. Inheritance taxes
accomplish this purpose in part, but the captain
of Industry who would put substance into his
opinions tvannot guarantee results when he Is
dead one.
The latest list of naval losses of the Brtls.
and the Germans show twenty British naval
craft of all classes sent to the bottom and forty
one German craft. The displacement of-the lost
British craft totals 1TE.00O tons and that of the
German craft 194,000 tons. Considering the
small number of naval engagements the1 losses
sustained on. both sides Is unusually high.

Food m Important at Firearms.
The drastic regulations which the German
government is Inaugurating to conserve the
grain crop supports the argument that food is
Just as Important to a warring nation as fire
arms. As a matter of fact. It Is absolutely Im
possible In practice to draw the line between
whst articles or supplies subserve military ac
tivities and what do not, because the modem
army In the field draws requisitions for almost
everything. If the grain crop in Germany must
be safeguarded by government confiscation, it
goes without saying that Imports of flour an 1
other foodstuffs from abroad come Into the
game category. Whether destined for consump
tion by the civilian population or by the soldiers
in the trenches would make no difference. An
army with short rations would be In a predica
ment Just as hopeless as an army short of am
munition, If not more so. History records many
a beleaguered fortress surrendering because the
larder was empty, although the cartridge belts
were full and the guns stilt serviceable.
Where Taxpayer! Can Save Money.
Another plane where the taxpayers of this
county could save money, without losing any
thing whatever In the way of service rendered,
would be by the consolidation of the various
official bonds given by tVIr treasurer as county
treasurer, city treasurer, school district treas
urer and water district treasurer, all these bonds
Insuring the fidelity of one and the same officer.
It certainly Is a travesty to take $5,000 out ot
the taxpayers' pockets to psy premiums on four
different $200,000 surety bonds for a treasurer
whose compensation Is $8,000 for bis two-year
term. There should be some way by which a
law could bo framed that would provide for a
single $500,000 bond covering all the moneys
that may come Into the treasurer's custody froia
whatever source, with the premium prorated
among the various jurisdictions for which he
acta. Let some of the legislative committees of
our different civic organisations get busy, and
save our taxpayers this money.
The New Chief lattice.
, No one will contend that the -appointment
of Chief Justice Morrissey Is anything but a
purely personal selection of the governor and
his closest political advisers. It ni:y bit that
Governor Morehead has chosen wisely, for Mr.
Morrissey unquestionably mado a good private
necretary, but, unfortunately, we have' nothing
to Judge by for tho present as to his legal at
tainments and judicial ability. The new chief
justice may prove to be a time server, or ho
may surprise everybody with an Exceptionally
brilliant mind. He will have two years in
which to make good if be harbors an ambition
to be elected to fill out the remainder of tho
term. It Is enough to express the hope that
he may reflect credit upon himself and vindi
cate the governor'a Judgment.
"Moral Influence."
t John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in what might ba
called a plea In avoidance, explains to the in
dustrial commission that his iufiuence In con
nection with the Colorado coal strike and ita
most disastrous consequences. waa uAlv
"moral." He specifically denies that he has
ever ordered any antt-unlon activity on the part
of any of the officers of corporat'ons In which
be is interested, and says be is the friend or the
working man and believes In labor unions. It
is not on record, however, that Mr. Rockefeller
at any time used his moral Influence to bring
about any settlement of the trouble In tha mines
ot Colorado, other than what was finally de
termined by force ot arms through the interven
tion ot the United States. He does not show
that he was displeased at any time by the course
pursued by the , officers ot the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, in the affairs of which con
cern the Rockefeller interests dominate. It will
take a great deal more than Mr. Rockefeller's
letter to the commission to rid the public mind
of the .belief .that he could have settled thet
strike long before It was stopped if he had earn
estly, tried the role of peacemaker.
Street Railway Valuation,
Officers of the Omaha Street Railway com
pany are averring in court that the total value
of the real and personal property of the cor
poration la $15,000,000, and that any 'reduction
in fares preventing the earning of a profit ott
this capitalisation i woul4 be confiscatory.; Com
pared with the valuation return for taxation,
there is an apparent discrepancy of six or Beven
million dollars, but the presumption 1s that tho
city's legal representative W.H1 endeavor to beat
down the valuation for rate-making purposes,
rather than to. Increase the valuation for. taxing
purposes. The allegation' ot these values by. the
company, however, does not establish them as
binding od the court It contested by the city, aa
they surely will be. As The Bee said when the
evea-for-SHiuarUr Initiative ordinance was
np. it meant, as the first step, merely buying a
law suit, and having bought it, we may as well
pursue it to a finish now as soon aa we can.
Two hundred and thirty years before Roose
velt Or Carnegie drew plans for world peace, Wil
liam Penn published an "Essay toward the pres
ent and future peace of Europe." The famous
qUaker pioneer of Pennsylvania advocated a fed
eration of European states as a peace measure,
but bis dream cam no nearer fulfillment than
the peace dreams of more recent advocates.
The wonders wrought in a decade In the
world of material things are no more surprisln-i
than the transposition ot scenery in the stato
house. Ten years and more ago railroad repre
sentatives touched the button and lawmakers
responded. Now the lawmakers lean back oa
their dignity and watch the tagged lobbyists
cooling their heels in the vestibule.
The suggestion of the American Bar asso
ciation committee that It Is aa much the duty
of lawyers to settle disputes without unnecessary-litigation
as to try them in court, would
produce in practice a condition ot affaire which
would make Judges ashamed to draw their sal
aries. '
The Political Caldron . I

Judge A. Ia Hutton that ha la not a candidate
for the city commission, Ms nam Is Mnt men

intend them to take him aa meaning wnat he sayj.
lie Is in the pnllttral atmoapher. and thoae who
enjoy mixlne; polltliial medicine are having the time
of their llva compounding concoctions to aiilt any
tnste. Thry recall that tha Judge doe not say ho
poitltlvely will not run, nor that nothing coujd bo of
fered to Induce, him to make the "sacrifice." He has
been to guarded and diplomatic In what he has vald
that he has actually encouraged nls cowd to the
notion that he will gladly be drawn In In fact he
standing on tha doorstep when they call. The talk wilt
not down that the Ji'dre will be aligned with six
other candidates and that tha lsauea may be drawn
along "wet" and "dry" lines. Pome of the more
obaervant men about town declare th Judge wlit tile
and some believe he and six others wll, be backed
by a strong organisation of driee.
Mayor Pahlman returned from a trip tha other
day, and he, too, gave expression to a belief that
Omaha Is to have a whirlwind wet-and-dry campaign
this spring. Tha mayor says ha la ready td embrace
this Inue aa he has done In the past, confident of
the result of such a campaign In Omaha.
r
tvhlle Judge Button is waiting for the situation to
shape Itaelf, his friends, and some not nia friends, are
preparing all sorts ef plans for him, so that when he
gets ready to hurl hla hat, all ho will have to do will
tio to look around and aelect one of the various plans
being prepared. '
Tho Judge will be nominated If he files for the
primary, but I doubt whether he will break Into tho
first seven at tha election," waa the oumrnent of one
lKillllitan. ,
"You Just watch what I. am telling you: Judge
Hutton la going to fl'e and he will give the whole
fleM a merry rhaso. He la a Vole getter and ho know a
what to do and when to do It," waa another oommant.
"The Jtirig says he la going to reaume hla law
practice, which la a nice way of sitting on the fence
till he thinks It time to jump," says another.
A lot of anxious would-be wish tha Judge would
just speak up and tall what ha intends to do and
thus relieve soma of them of suspense.

hension Involved In that JlOOujo figure

tion by the state to obtain some definite
Information about Nebraska water pow

sufficient appropriation to obtain the

OMAHA, Jan. I4.-To the Editor of The

The philosopher and psychologists are
supposed to be grounded In all-around
knowledge and have at their finger tips
all the sciences, both abstract and physi
cal, and art, literature, history ahd what
not of great wisdom of things mundane
and oecult?
That thus they may be able to take a
broader vlewi the better to generalize on
man's mission here on earth and of hie
hereafter, and so they seem to be the ones
elected for this task. But what of all
th. ertdltlon? The modern psychologist
.end his school of recent science is some
thing comparatively new. He I a philoso
pher who specialise In things pertaining
to the mind and lately the soul also.
It Is the school of William Wundt of
Lelpalc, which is said to have arisen out
of the physiological discoveries of Helm
holt In laboratory experiments at Heidel
berg, when he was able to measure the
velocity of nervous reaction.

. he was a man, among men.
If rljrhtlng a wrong were an Issue tl all
that he had waa at stake.
He stood like a rock In the ocean that
battering waves couldn't break.
He fought to the end or the battle with
all of his mind and his pen;
Because he wa r ght. he could Conquer,
for he waa a man among men.
Ho found you in some secret sorrow
the grip of his Mr, honest hand
Was full of an unsooken comfort: he
made you, somehow, understand
That he was a friend In a World ful,
and one you could lean upon. Then
You trusted and loved him forever--or
he wa a Man among Men!
