Thirty Years Ago
This Day in Omaha
Carrania Saving His Face.
Venustiano Carrania, first chief of the Mex
ican constitutionalist party and recognized de
facto bead of the government of that republic,
expresses himself in the grandiose periods of his
rsce. But his pronunrlamento Is certainly sub
ject to a considerable discount when It crosses
the border. It doesn't mean be will declare war
on the United States as an outcome of
our pursuit of Villa. He Is merely trying to
impress the people of bis country with a sense
of bis Importance and vigilance In safeguarding
their Interests. Secretly Carransa must rejoice
that the United States has undertaken a work
that was too great for bis capacity, for the
elimination of Villa Is of far more political Im
portance to the de facto government of Mexico
than to this country.
On the other band it ts scarcely cause for
wonder that surprise is felt In the governmental
circles across the border. It Is hard for the
Mexicans to understand the sudden stiffening
of a spine that has hitherto been quite pliant.
This has been the greatest drawback to the pol
icy of "watchful waiting," which baa borne its
fruit In a steadily swelling, category of murder
and outrage put upon Americana by the irre
sponsible banditti who have been masquerading
as soldiers In Mexico. It Is not to avenge, how
ever, that our government baa been stirred to
tardy action, but to Insure our cltiiens against
the repetition of such raids as that on Colum
bus. '
Carransa'a proclamation may not have much
effect on his people, who are little given to
beedlng such documents, but the presence of
American troops south of the Rio Grande will
be more impressive than many words.
Woodronjrli to Be Federal Judge.
The appointment of Joseph W. Woodrough
to be federal Judge for the district of Nebraska,
succeeding the late Judge W. II. Munger, may
be taken to end the long-drawn and stubborn
contest waged for this position, aa hla confirma
tion seems fairly well assured In advance.
That none but democrata might apply for
this vacancy was taken for granted, and among
the candidates between whom the choice finally
settled, Mr. Woodrough had elements of polit
ical strength that plainly made him the logical
man for the presidential favor if the pitfalls
of factional politics were to be avoided.
When Inducted Into office Judge Woodrough
will start out with youth, ambition and legal
training, lacking only In Judicial experience,
which It will devolve upon him to acquire.
Under the conditions and limitations. It Is a
creditable appointment. We congratulate the
new Judge and shall confidently expect him to
make good.
Indiana Bepublioam.
Results of the primary last week place In
diana republicans in a condition of exceptional
preparedness ana vantage tor tne 1816 cam
paign. For the support of the Indiana dele
gation in the national convention, all repub
lican factions had united behind ex-Vice
President Charles W. Fairbanks as the "favor
ite son" choice, but the significance of the re
turns is that Fairbanks polled a much larger
vote than did Wilson, likewise unopposed for
the democratic endorsement, i
For the two positions of leadership on the
firing line the republicans of Hooslerdom have
indicated their preference for Harry 8. New
to win back the seat In the United States, sen
ate lost to the democrats, and for James P.
Goodrich to relnaugurate republican rule in the
state administration aa governor. The vote of
Goodrich la clear-cut by half again as many
votee as his competitors for the nomination, but
that of New, under, the peculiar provisions of
the Indiana primary law requiring a complete
majority, sends his nomination to a convention,
although he is over 8,000 votes ahead of his
runner-up. The Impression prevails that the
other senatorial aspirants will withdraw before)
the meeting time of the convention, bo as to
leave New's nomination in the form of a unani
mous ratification of the primary preference-
something that would still further soltdlfy the
party ranke for the clash with the democrats
opposition In the fall.
Considering the early stage of the game, the
prospects are certainly as encouraging as they
could possibly be for bringing Indiana back Into
Us rightful place in the repulbican column.

Oar Own Munition Milli.
From the east cornea word that big ordera
for shrapnel and such material of war have
been placed by the government, and that fac
tories are now busy producing munitions for
our own army. This is a sign that ought to
cheer eome of the brethren, who have foreseen
difficulty in getting American manufacturera to
pay any attention to orders from Uncle Sam for
their warea. Our array of guns along the Rio
Grande la not ao expansive aa those now thun
dering acroas the Meuse, but they are repre
sentative in a way of the nation. Not warlike la
any of Ha aspects or manifestations, but ea
aentially pacific at all timea, the United States
baa the quality of earnestly supporting its dig
city on proper occaeiou. The presence of even
a punitive expedition on the scale now under
taken will be sufficient to establish the fact
that we will fight if we have to. and that our
munition mllla are at the aervice of our own
government.
1e.urel Advorats: Omaha la agitating a new union
depot, and tha business Interests are making a strong
pull for It The expectation Is that the Union Pacific
will soon erect a new bridge acroas the Missouri at
that place, and with It they want the new station.
Well, guess they are entitled to it.
Columbus Journal: Omaha wants a union depot.
Tear down that Iron fenee and extend the shads be
tween the two present structures and the problem Is
solved.
' Fremont Tribune: The genius who devises the
historical floats for tha great Ak-Sar-Ben pageants In
Omaha for Its fall festival has announced an outline
of what this year Is to be. As stated some time ago
the theme Is to the admission of the state Into the
union. This gives latitude for the presentation or
much early history of Nebraska, Baaed on this the
pageant will be one of unique and Intense Interest,
and of great educational value. In carrying out Its
bold program Ak-Bar-Ben will perform a patriotic
service. During tha long yesrs of Its successful ex
istence It has never had such an opportunity as is
now presented. It will not be surprising to see the
11 performance tha most brilliant one of any.
Hastings Trlbuns: The Omaha Bae la making e
strenuous effort to get a new union depot for Ne
braska's metropolis. Should The Bee succeed In get
ting what it goes sfter here's hoping that it will not
attempt to publish as many drawings of the proposed
new station as the Star did for Kansas City. It Is
well to remember that there Is such a thing aa over
doing a good thing.
Kearney Huh: The Omaha Bae declares that the
right to "Joyrlde" en armed ships la not tha point
Involved In the present controversy. No other point
hss been made. Tha Bee aeserts that the point Is
thst belligerents must be compelled to respect tha lives
and property of nohcomba tents. But howf That's
the rub. Phall we sail In anJ fight every war-mad
fool .who glvaa an offense or traneereeees International
laws that have been shot out of existence?
Nemaha Beacon: A recent issue of tha Omaha Bee
recorded the rounding up and bringing Into police
court, the female Inmates of several "fourth-rate
taverns." Hss The Bee coined a new term, or la that
what they call 'em In Omaha now?
Franklin News: They call the modern jail at Omaha
the "rest cure" for Indigent hoboes. Its a case of
home aweet home to the boea when they come to
Omaha for they have all modern conveniences with
board furnished free. - After being run In they don't
like to leave, especially during a cold snsp. (
Bestrlce Sun: The Omaha papers don't seem to
be able to decide what to do with Oovemor Morehead.
They are much concerned about hla political future.
The Bee finds a very strong demand on the part of
democrats throughout tha stats for Morehead to be
come a candidate for United States senator, and the
World-Herald finds that the country la afire with the
Morehead vice presidential enthusiasm.
Newman Grove Reporter: The Omaha Bee wonders
why It. Is that the railroads claim tha 1-cent fsre Is
too low for profit and at the same time will make a
rate of less than 1 cents a mite between competing
points. The answer Is easy. Tha roads want to lack
up rates between noncompetlng points so they cn
cut rates between points where they hsve competition.
In other words, they wsnt the people who live at no.i.
competing points to pay tha cost of fighting for busi
ness at competing points.

BERLIN. Neb., March 11 To the Ed

pared. They all want congress to spend
millions of dollars on battleships and
cruisers, etc. I saw In last night's Bee
where the Alabama end the Ohio were
going to the junk heap that Is, going
out of commission. The Alabama ought
to be able to put up e very good scrap.
It csrriee four thlrteen-lnch guns, four
teen six-Inch and has four torpedo tnbes.
That battery ought to make a good show
ing In a fight. I was on the United flutes
ship Wisconsin when It took the navy
gunnery trophy In I90S. We made four
teen shots and fourteen hits with our
thlrteen-lnch gun In five minutes and
forty second. The Wisconsin Is a sister
ship of the Alabama. I would Just as
soon be on the Wisconsin In a fight as
on any of the rest of them. And, another
thing, who Is going to man alt these new
ships? I know thst there will not be

OMAHA, March 11. To the Editor of
Tha Bee: Kindly allow me spsce for a
portion of Senator Williams' remarks on
the armed ship question: they should
be of value to every patriotic voter In
Nebraska In getting a true perspective
of tha disgraceful conduct of the entire
Nebraska delegation on said question:
and partlculsrly do I desire every loysl
cttlxen of this district to ponder If It be
not a high duty to our country to defeat
such recreant servants as Lobeck and
Hitchcock. But let me quote Senator
Williams:
"There are times In the history of all
peoples, of all administrations, snd of
all parties when men come to the parting
of the ways, when there la an unavoid
able conflict, and when each man must
stsnd ss best he may for that which ha
thinks to be true and right and brave
and patriotic
"In my opinion that time has come for
you and me concerning the proposition
which now faces us. and which hss not
faced us because of any action of tha
prealdent of the United States, but which
he has been compelled to confront by
constant qulxslng and constant expression
constant qulxtlg and cosstant expression
here, of opinion In favor of the position '
assumed bp negotiators of a foreign
power as against our own.
"For. the politics motiving any side
of this question I hare the highest con
tempt The msn who Is a representative
at the other wing of this capltol, or who
Is a senator here, and who Is looking
behind him somewhere st some racial
vote of some sort Is not a patriotic Amer
ican. The moment that any element shall
buttress themselves with the Idea of
pleaatng a particular racial element In
tha United States, that moment those
doing It make foolish politicians of them
selves. If nothing lower; because that
moment they consolidate against them
selves aud against what they are seek
ing to do, every other different racial
derivation in the United States, and they
consolidate against themselves that ele
ment of American citizenship whose de
rivation Is so ancient that It hardly
knows whst It wss Just simply Americans
without frills and without embroideries
and without hyphens or anything else.
As little, as you think of It, these' last
even have a right to live here, and they
have a right to be heard as well as
other people."

OMAHA. March 11-To the Editor of
The Bee: Let us never lose sight of soma
things with respect to good roods. Good
roads cut tha distance between communi
ties. Therefore they are socially and fi
nancially a benefit. They entice people
to travel over them. Therefore do they
advertise the beautiful scenery. In tha
case of Douglas county, to tha residents.
The financial benefits of good roada -
first to tha owners of the land. v Lands
near tnem Increase In value. Increased
valuea mean higher rents. Some folks
think that If taxes on land era low rents
will be low. Quite the reverse. For In
stance, If Omaha were to wipe out taxee
on the land of the city, adding It all to
other forms of property, assuming that
auch policy did not drive away the neonu
or the property, rents would double or
even treble.
For more Instance. Omaha paid up
ward of IX.OOO to improve Happy Hollos
boulevard. Did that fact decrease the
value of adjoining Iota? Did the agents
who exploited those lots sell them for
any less because this tax waa borne by
an tne people r Mot oven a child would
think It I live on Doqgo atreet on
portion of what was a count road.
part of It was paved by inheritance tea
moaav. jdis paving increased tao value
of my land. Will I se'l this land for any
lees merely because I did not per for
that Improvement? Well, when I do let
me know, for I will be mentally Incompe
tent to discover It for myself.
I notice that certain prominent gentle
men are glowing with enthusiasm over
the great Increase In the value of Omaha
real estate. This Is an Index of Omaha's
growth, but doea It mean any special
eoonomla good to our people? None at
all. Qnlte the reverse. The higher rises
the value of land the lower falls the value
of men. High rents tow wages. High
land valueslow interest on money.
Everybody uses land. They pay for It
In rent and in all things that satisfy hu
man want Everything that satisfies hu
man want comes from the land. There
fore, to ask the people to rejoice at high
land valuea Is to ask them to be glad
that It requires greater physical and men
tal effort to live.
Let ua consider the foregoing facta In
providing for Improved country roads,
which we do really need so much. How
ever, in addition to the inheritance tax
money that goes to pay for them, let a
small percentage be paid by tha county,
a smsll part by tha owners of automobiles
and the remainder by tha owners of tho
abutting lands. This can In no sense be
unjust to them. For tba value of all Im
provements Is reflected In the value of
land. These Improvements Increase tho
value of the holdings of tha landlords.
Why not tske a portion of those values
to pay for those improvements?
