It is quite evident the "square ticket" does not

While our reformers are about It, abolishing
one branch of the legislature, and In doubt
about which to abolish, it's up to some one to
propose to abolish both branches.
No, Mr. Inquisitive Stranger, no one by the
name ot "Bunk" Is running for city commis
sioner In Omaha this spring. But your mis
taken Impression is quite excusable.
One of the marked evidences of Improving
business is the Increasing patronage of long dis
tance telephones. Talk that is worth Paying for
vocalizes the Improvement at the cashiers'
desks.
If their own words are to be taken for 1
never was such a fine bunch of high-class vol
unteers presented to the people of any city from
htch to pick their public servants as the
voters of Omaha right this minute.
Automobile license applications at the stae
house last week averaged 400 a day. Allowing
a liberal margin for renewals, the figures show
that Nebraskans are keeping the pace and stanl
near the top of the per capita list as gas car

"Lucky Jim."
In his variegated career, Mayor Dahlman
has had numerous pet names applied to him,
bat none fits Mm so well as "Lucky Jim." With
one fateful exception his lucky star seems tj
have followed him unwsverlngly and uninter
ruptedly ever since he set foot on Nebraska soil
and started rounding up tbe political mavericks
in the ssnd hills.
But never has luck been so generous to
"Jim" as right now In his run for a fourth term
in the rlty hall. In the preliminary heat of the
handicap race he corralled twice as many votos
as any outside competitor, and all he has to do
to make snre of his cinch Is to hold them for
the election. Despairing of getting "Jim," the
antls hsve, in fact, conceded him his place by
putting only six on their slate when seven places
are to be filled, and tbe uncontested place Is of
course "Jim's."
Paraphrasing the great poet, "8ome people
are born lucky, some achieve luck, and some
have luck thrust upon them," and "Lucky Jim"
belongs to all three classes at one and tbe same
time.
Befogging the Issue with Words.
The dispute that has arisen between John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Frank Walsh, chairman
of the Industrial Relations commission. Is not
within the contemplated scope of the Inquiry to
be made by that commission. When the commis
sion wss provided for, during the last year of
President Taft's term. It was Intended to make
some determination as to certain facts, to be
developed If possible, concerning the causes for
social unrest, especially as pertaining to what Is
broadly referred to as "Industrial relations."
This naturally comprehends strikes of. labor,
and Includes an inquiry into their causes and
adjustment. In the present case, it has been
established that Mr. Rockefeller was cognisant
of tbe strike at the Colorado coal mines and
that he had riven bis support to the course pur
sued by the managers of the mines In which he
Is Interested as owner. '
After that fact bad been developed, the
course pursued by Mr. Walsh has been such ai
might admit of suspicion that he Is endeavoring
to turn the Inquiry away from Its original pur
pose and Into political channels.' Mr. Rockefeller,
by reason of his latest statements, is equally
open to a charge of trying to maintain his posi
tion as chief philanthropist of the day, In spite
of the record of the mine Vwar" in Colorado.
Neither of these ends was Jn view when the
commission was finally formed and set upon 1U
labors. .
Much that is Inconsequent, so far as true in
dustrial relations are' concerned, is being dis
cussed, and In such a way that the true Issue is
being befogged in words of no value. The public
Is not especially interested In the relations of
Mr. Rockefeller and Mj1. WaUh, one to tha
other, but It does want to know some of the
fundamental facts concerning the conditions of
life In the United Btates, which the commission
might develop If it stuck close to the plan o'i
which It was formed. .
Into Central South Dakota.
The return of a "trade" excursion from the
Black Hilht, Montana and Wyoming, Is a forci
ble reminder that one ot the most productive
regions in Omaha's natural . trade territory is
still all but inaccessible because of lack of rail
road connections. Great need has long existed
for a direct line of railroad from Omaha to cen
tral South Dakota, a rapidly developing portion
ot our rich northern neighbor with which we
have only roundabout communication'. The
grain and live stock of that region needs access
to a better market than is now open, a market
that Omaha will afford. Omaha merchant
should be able to enter this region, now domi
nated Ty Chicago and Minneapolis, on muca
better terms than is now possible. It Is a mar
ket that rightfully belongs here, but from which
we are shut out by the lack of a direct line tc.
the north, a project long mooted, often prom
ised, but never resided. Here Is a good place
for the Commercial club to do some needed
work. "
Preserve Fontenelle Forest
Omaha citlsens have always been alive to
the desirability of beautifying private premises,
and have also given in liberal fashion to the de
velopment ot parka, to the end that the city has
many most beautiful vistas. The spirit now
Jive is looking to a continuation and extension
ot this effort, that further Improvement may
be had. In this connection. The Bee ventures to
renew its suggestion of several years ago. that
steps be taken to acquire for the public the bit
of woodland Just at the southeast of town,
known as Fontenelle forest.
This is the last remaining bit of natural
woodland in the vicinity of Omaha, and Is per
haps the most extensive in the state. At any
rate. It has been referred to by competent
authorities aa being the most characteristic, in
that it contains the most representative growth
of forest trees indigenous to the region. For
this and for other reasons, it should not be al
lowed to fail, as it may, under the march of
building. It la a moat appropriate site for a
park and aa such should be preserved.
On May 21 the Nebraska Academy of
Sciences proposes to hold a session at this
woods. The day could be devoted to no better
end than to set In motion a definite effort to se
cure publle title to the woodland.
Nature is working overtime to reward the
industrious and the deserving. Trees are putting
on the season's richest garb. Orchards are in
flower, winter wheat gives the Chautauqua
salute to laughing sunshine, and emerald pas
tures delight the eyes of beef and butter
maker. The Joys of spring abound wherever
nature and man co-operate. Only la one spot
in all Nebraska la deserving toil unrewarded.
The federal pie counter falls to bloom. In ten
long weary days only one crumb fell to the fam
ishing faithful.
Automobile speeding continues increasing its
toll of maimed and killed victims. Pick up at
random a newspaper from any city and the
chances are that an automobile accident features
Its news. In alnety-nlne cases out of a hundred
speed and carelessness are the direct causes.
Some effective means must be found to enforce
respect for the rights of others and put a stop
to speed recklessness. '
Aimed at Omaha
Nehraaka City Fress: Omaha's Board ef Educa
tion refused to sanction a "srand ball" with trim
mint's at a bis hotel for high school student- end the
students are aroused to a High Pitch. What Is the
world coming to, anyway, when adults, who are sup
IHsed to have learned from experience, refuse to
bow to the orders of their progeny?
Columbus Telegram: It was gratifying to the coun
try sdltors to note the changed tone of the commercial
Interests In the metropolis of our state. For many
years the country press bas urged Intelligent Im
provement of the Missouri r'-.er. so that the farmers
of the state might be relieved from the burden of
oppressive railroad charges, but until recently the
metropolitans always received such suggestions with
a laugh, being themselves under bondage so often
to the great combinations of capital controlling the
transportation lines. The Telegram congratulates
Omaha upon now having as head of Its Commercial
club a man with sufficient Intelligence to see the
benefit which would come to tils stats by nuOcIng
the great river a carrier of Nebraska produce to the
aea. We rejoloe that the head of that Commercial
club also has the Co urate to employ plain languago
In dealing with a problem which when solved will
make Omaha the metropolis of all the vast domain
between the Mississippi river and the Golden Gate.
Friend Sentinel: A very few ef the Nebraska
newspaper men and printers, one printers and
would-be printers met In Omaha and enloyed tho
hospitality of the good people of that city. They
also talked "shop" to soma extent It la splendid to
get together and talk shop, but It Is not so splendid
to have some of the "boys," who do the most talk
ing at the meeting, go home and try to work the
other fellow's territory for Job printing.
Fremont Tribune: maha In acting as host to the
editors of Nebraska during the last week showed
them aa fine a time as anybody over enjoyed away
from home. Not for a single moment was the pleas
ure of the guests forgotten. There were courtesies
of every kind showered upon the visitors. A new
11.000.000 hotel was built sinus tha association mat la
Omaha last, that the character ot the editorial pro
fession might be properly maintained by the apprw
prlate entertainment of the editors. On all sides
there were new evidences of tha rapid development
of the city, which has not yet fairly entered upon Its
certain growth to real metropolitan proportions.
Omaha Is destined to greatness that those can best
understand who get It In perspective. The editors
of Nebraska are doing that
York Times: Aa Omaha woman wants $60,000 for
an alleged stolen kiss. What, a war price?
Kearney Hub: Jim Dahlman at Omaha and
Charley Bryan at Lincoln are In the limelight good
and strong again, one a candidate for mayor of
Omaha and the other a candidate for mayor of Lin
coln. Men may coma and men may go, but these two
statesmsn heva apparently "come to stay."
Beatrice Express: On the quIeC Omaha Is a
crystal gaser. It can see far enough In the future
to know that a gathering of the state editors within
Its borders means more advertising than the average
town gets In a year, and, therefore. It hat every
reason for treating the scribes very pleasantly.
Nebraska City Press: Nebraska editors will prob
ably have a great deal to say about the hospitality
of Omaha In a few days. And there will be no hidden
meaning In their expressions of satisfaction. Omaha
has again come to the front as a city ot hospitality.
It Is doubtful If any convention of Nebraska busi
ness or professional men was ever better entertained
than were the newspaper men during tne early part
of this week. Omaha has again demonstrated that
secession from the state, as was claimed tor It by Ha
numerous enemies at one time. Is not uppermost "n
Its mind.

TILDEN. Neb., April J. To the Editor
of The Be: lUvsl armies snd navies
never taite a culprit to court and there
Is no aim to attain Justice, but Instead
the ye Is set on the lion's share. It Is
the same savagery aa we see In the
Jungle, pampas and wild prairies, where
the rival beasts pit themselves against
one another until one or all the contest
ant are mangled. Only that In the mod
ern contest science has multiplied the In
dividual ten thousand fold and the real
duelists have the power to draft mil
lions ot blind peons to make the contest
and sacrifice, while these have no III will
toward each other and the promoters,
have their seats exalted and most of
them private money Invested In the traffic
of arms. Under such action "might Is
right" while Belgium and many other
small states demonstrate the fallacy that
the Just cause ta bound to win.
The only way to control a foreign policy
la to do away with it altogether, for aa
long as one man or a small group repre
sents a nation there will be destructive
war. For each man has personal vanities
which he will satlsfy-and If It Ukes the
last drop of blood ot his blind devotees,
and bankrupt the nation, loading a pon
derous debt on the unborn, and robbing
the coming generations of the progress
this generation should give the world.
Duelling must be stamped as barbarous,
be It practiced direct or fought out by
so-called subjects. The police of Omaha
do not clash with the police of Kansas
City, but the two work In conjunction to
maintain order, and apprehend criminals
and bring them to Justice; this Is the
only place for an armed force In the
Interests of world peace; this Is world
clttsenshtp; International Jurisdiction; a
maritime police, and universal free trade.
The nations are but large families, and
each day of progress, conditions demand
more fraternal Intercourse, for no one ot
these national families can hope to sub
due all the others and if that could be
done it would be destruction In the end.
But Instead, for one to succeed, the
others murt all contribute In the spirit
of reciprocity, and even more thaa that
give the other tbe fuller measure.
The mountain feuds ot Kentucky, where
families have warred for generations and
In some cases wholly depleted each other,
until reason, law, and a higher power
took control, is being enacted In Europe,
only on a much laager scale. We must

terms than one small nationality, sys
tem or language. The worldwide spirit,

OMAHA, April S. To the Editor of The
Bee: Returning from a business trip In
the state my attention was attracted fo
a list ot names of men said to have been
selected as ward workers for the antl
ac'mlnlstratlon candidates for city com
missioners. In this list my name ap
pears. I do not know who put It there,
nor who suggested that I was favorable
to the election of the antls. '
To set at rest atl speculation aa te
whom I shall work and vote for from now
until the poUls close on May 4 I ask you
tr. give this article space In your paper
and that It be published at tbe earliest
moment possible, for which kindness X
shall feel very grateful. . -
I am In favor of. the re-election .of the
present commissioners, because I believe
each, one has proven his efficiency and
demonstrated his capacity to successfully
conduct the affairs of the retpettve de
partments which have been assigned
them, and to the entire satisfaction of
the majority ef the voters and taxpayers
of this city.
I am la favor of a big. city and. big
business, but without big business we
will not have a big city. . To have big
business we mast have capital, and to
have capital we must Invite and persuade
It to seek Investments In Omaha wtth as
surance that it will not be disturbed so
long as It conforms to our laws, hence I
an, opposed to the continual hectoring
and harrying of corporations whether
publle service or privately owned.
This does not mean that I am not ta
favor of regulating publie utilities, for I
am, and favor such regulation that will
be Just and fair for all concerned, and
not confiscatory. Men who live la larger
I laces thaa Omaha and who travel ex
tensively have told ma that our street
car service la far better thaa thai given
In any other city oa the continent, yet
certain of the antls would ride Into power
on the promise ot further annoying this
company.
Such promises may appeal to the
thoughtless voter, but will not meet favor
wtth the home owners, real wage earners
end business men. For It such candidates
are successful they would make It Im
possible for the company to borrow capi
tal with which to make betterments and
additional extensions. ED WAI.SH.

A Lesson from the Past
Years ago, before faking pow
ders were so well known, the
housewife sometimes made her own
from cream of tartar and soda.
These materials were then
comparatively expensive and pro
cesses of refining had not been
devised to bring them to the high
state of purity of the present
day well known cream of tartar,
baking powders, such as Royal;
and yet she never thought of
buying alum, then as now a cheap
and inferior substitute for cream
of tartar. She wouldn't think of
permitting an ounce of alum to
enter her kitchen.
Tet housekeepers are to-day
asked to buy alum baking powders
with which to make food for their
children.
The statement on the label af
fixed to every can naming the
ingredients of which the baking
powder is composed affords a
method of protection against tho
