(n 1 1 m opinion, the KucrpKg of Germany up to the

L"t vn r've the Hallway Review credit, how

our transportation facilities have been developed
for the at rotnmodation of trade and traffic, and

Here's An Idea' from Miisotiri.'
An idea emanating from a Missouri man ex
ploited by Collier's as praiseworthy and prac

atlon of our city authorities. What Is proposed.
Is a "Domestic: Animal Zoo" to take the place of,,
or supplement, the "Wild Animal Zeo" which; It;
it customary to maintain In our rlty parks. The
explanation and accompanying reasons In good
Missouri language 1s.as .follows:"-
Inatead 6f ramols ajid buffalo, Int. Ua have few
Ilolatelit, Jeraey, end shoithorn cows and ,lvei,

Sow, w would hot dispense with the buffalo
and the deer, nor leave the bear' pita tenantless,
tut we would locate tha domestic animal zoo in
a different paVk. Thera 'la room to doubt
weather; the foresr creatures and tha barnyard
animal would mix well, or appreciate too neat

a Interesting and Instructive at tha other is

Protectinj ta "Infafat Industry." '
from the time tha government of th United
States waa founded, the 'democratic "party or
those varied and divers' political organisations
whose vagarious doctrines the democratic party
we know nowadays haa fallen hair to as feMu
ary legatee, haa Opposed the policy of protecting
by the Imposition of a tariff, or otherwise the
budding Industries of the country. In season
and out of season these advocate lot fr trad
have sneered at the "Infant industry"4 and have
energetically -fomented aectlonat division on the
policy with a persistency that has brought dis
aster at often as the voters have listened to the
plea.
But now a change has come over the spirit
of the dream. It la only a few montha aince the
Underwood tariff law, with lis Unctnre of free
trade, became effective, and veo yet lead era of
the party are referring; to it aa the solution of
the vexed' tariff question. The war la' Europe
id btamed'for the failure of the 'tariff , law. to
produce suffloleat revenue to meet expenses', and
It la now to be made tha excuae forthe demoi
crats In a departure from thefr partisan tradl
tlona." An Infant Industry l springing up,; the
manufacture of dyes from coal tar,' and-the dera
oi rats pfedge' that under no troumstane'ea will
European competitors bo allowed to coma la and
choke this new venture to death by "trade prac
tices forbidden aa between American competi
tors." ; ;
This suddeq conversion of democrats te the;
doctrine of protection ' for home manufactures
eg against ' foreign competition Is' noteworthy,
because It la an unmistakable evidence of tha
correctneaa of the republican policy.. "That
policy will be restored after lil; and the man
t facturers of the country, Jrrespfectlve. of their,
lln will again bav all the protection needed
to preveut foreign competition from . driving
Ihc.n out of the btislnera. v The policy that built
ut the Unltea Btates to a leading place as a man
tifscturlng' nation will again prevail, with tha
Incoming of another republican administration.

would have been loudeat in the ehoru. With volun

the riaht way. ,n Ensllshman thought that a man

' Keep. the Name for- Convenience.
" OMAHA, July 10. To the KdlMMr of The
Bee: F. A. Agnew asks "Why the neces
sity of more than one name for ... on
city?" Well, then, 1 ask why tbo neces
sity of more than one . name., fo one
state? We designate different part of.
the state of Nehraska by means' of the
names of tome,' ninety, countlc. , .
' When I suggested not dropping the
name Bouth Omaha and Dundee I meant,
of course, to us them merely as "uh-.
name" as It were,, to designate various .
parte of the bigger pity,, aa wo now use
eountlea to designate,. varoua part., of.
the etat and a people In all ,mctro-'
polltan cttle use names to indicate what
part of th -city (hey refer to. , .
I stand corrected by Mr. A Knew In re
gard to Jersey City not being a part of
Oreatar New.Xorg, but the la immaterial
to th argument. Th fact remain and
he cannot deny It, that residents of New
Vork,, City atlll us the name of th.
original town and section in which they,
lived before the greater' city ' embraced,
them all, and these designations are. thv
legal one. It would be absurd. If a
New Yorker asked another New Yorker
where he lived, for him to reply, -"Here
In New. York." He would ay ; lrv n,
Washington llelghta" or "J. live in Brook
lyn." ,
. Mr. Agnew doeen't overflow with civic,',
pride for Bout U Omaha. He registered
a being fronv Omaha because of being
afraid people wouja "turn up their Hosts
aad, say, 'Oh, you are from Hog Town'."'
He didn't. hewe tb gumption apparently
to turn on such, maligner and defend
his city. . " -Understand,
then. Brother Agnew, that
my proposition 1 not to retain the nam
Bourn .Omaha, aa a separate , city. After
the vote of June 1. no on haa ih. '
to do that. But a a 'name to designate
a definite section of Greater Omaha it
will be uaetul. Of course. In registering
y now need practice no subterfuge.

to t. a year. Pav, wouldn't those six
children have a, lovely Christmas with
that, and the poor old mother would no
doubt enjoy It herself, Che 'could have
a mess of meat for once since she waa
tnarrled.
Oh. wrelir The children and her, no

every evening . and tobacco smoke Is eo
healthful for growing" children. It would
be . quite a bother for her to go down
town and buy a bill of groceries,

Omaha that, would give her lier money's
worth.' Of coarse, he earns the money:
hla wife doesn't do much; It's only a mere
trifle raising six children, washing their
few clothe, getting up nights ' to take
care of them. She has to fry a slice of
