WALKER, (Seal) Notary Public. WHEN OUT OF TOWN, Sabseribers leaving the ety teme Abdul Hamid is having more trouble than the average man with his spring housecleaning. A Chicago woman offers $200 for a good husband. The price is pretty low tor an oversold market. It begins to look as though the struggle were on to demonstrate whether Patten or wheat is king. — How appropriate that the democratic senators took for their text in discus- #ing the tariff bill the duty on gas re- torts. The man who pulled a gun out of the boat muzzle first has been buried and mow comes the turn of the one who rocks the boat. Aun Ohfo student sold his uniform and a cornet to raise money enough to clope with his sweetheart. Here's hoping that he made a good trade. Governor Shallenberger located Omaha on the map, but whether his pull with the local de- mocracy I8 good remains to be de- veloped. has You don’t hear so much now about letting the people rule as you did a while back. The democrats are trying to get re-elected and their machine is working like a steam roller. —_— Reports come from East Africa that Roosevelt left the big stick at home. It will be an easy matter to cut an- other one in the jungle and interested parties should not presume too far. The hollowness of democratic talk about nonpartisan judges is shown by the statement that the machine hi things so well in hand that only as many democrats will file as there are places to be filled. Boston announces it will celebrate the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims in 1920 by the holding of an exposition. With a little western push Boston should be able to put an ex- position in order by that time, For a country which 18 depopulated several times a year by the massacre of thousands of its people Asiatic Turkey is holding its own fairly well Bome day it will become apparent that the Shanghai liar is not the only one With Patten in fiight and the price | of wheat tumbling, the food gamblers are a busy lot, but the men/ whose paper fortunes are being wiped out will get very little sympathy from the public that was expected to pay for their fun. William T. Stead, the London jour- nalist, expresses the opinion that the only solution of the Turkish question is to turn that country over to the United States. Mr. Stead is entirely too kind. The United States has enough trouble of its own. John Mitchell tells the Yale stu- dents that the application of the golden cuie woild setue all labor disputes. he same might be said of all other disputes, but the difficulty is that when a man thinks be holds the whip bhand he misplaces the measuring rod. Promoters of the Northwestern Saengerfest very properly resent the imputation that the success of their gathering depends on the bours dur- ing whith beer may be obtained. The Sacngerfest is supposed to have to do with music—Melpomene and not Bac re- | Patten Versus Wilson. | When Secretary of Agriculture Wil- son recently issued a statement as to the amonnt of grain in the country as compared with previous years and the prospective demand for the same, “Jim" Patten of Chicago challenged the correctness of the figures of the secretary. Patten insisted that the prevailing prices of wheat were not due to manipulation, but to the faot of a shortage. Between the two the public had no means at the time of arriving at a correct conclusion, be- cause in the face of the Wilson state- ment wheat continued to advance in price. Coincident with the abandonment of the wheat pit by Mr. Patten prices tumbled and have continued to fall The logic of events would seem to indicate that Mr. Wilson knew what he was talking about, both as to the amount of grain In the country and the prospects for the new crop. With the fate of the speculators who went into the deal as a gamble the public has little or no concern, bat with the general disturbance to business and the hardships of the con- sumer the proposition is different. It will doubtless develop a flood of reme- dies for the evils of gambling in food product The governor of New York recently appointed a commission to in- vestigate the subject and after an ex- haustive inquiry these men were forced to admit they could find no remedy foc the evils connected with the trad- ing in futures, which when conducted on & legitimate basis was held to be more benefictal than harmful Tiie one lesson that might profitably | be drawn from the deal is that people who are users of grain should pin their faith on official statements com- piled by experts, who have nothing to gain by misrepresentation, and gov- ern their actions accordingly. If the millers had refused to buy at the price fixed by Mr. Patten his task of hand- ling the deal would have been much greater and probably beyond his ca- pacity. —— Drift of Political Sentiment. The only election in which national polities figured, held since the tariff bill was introduced in congress, oc- curred in €leveland this week where a successor was chosen to Mr. Burton, who resigned his seat in congress to enter the senate. The result here offers no encouragement to the demo- crats who have been nursing the hope that the republican revision of the tariff would give the democrats control of the next house. Though the district is normally re- publican the democrats, under the guidance of Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland, had strong hopes of carry- ing it or at the least materially re- ducing the republican majority. Yet the republicans won out by over 5,000 plurality. The plea cannot be made that it was a purely local fight, for the action of the democrats previous to the election made it a square, clean- i cut issue between the two parties, with | both bending their energies to secure |a victory. The size of the republican majority 18 particularly gratifying, as | the personal popularity of Mr. Burton was such that it was hardly hoped the district could be carried by any- thing near his plurality at the last election. ! With this skirmish as a guiding star and the democratic disorganization and | disagreement on all public questions, the republicans may confidently ex- pect to be continued in power if they will proceed to give the country an equitable tarift bill. The executive branch of the government offers noth- ing on which to hang democratic hopes and the whole matter is up to com- gress to retain public confidence. Wizards of Plant Life. Since the days when a Connecticut Yankee invented a wooden nutmeg ex- perimenters have been busy in produc- ing wonders in the fruit and vegetable world. Seedless oranges and raising are now a common commodity and Burbank has given us the Logan berry. Apples as red as Charley boy’s necktle, as vellow as the gold of Ophir and whose blushes rival the efforts of l! | school girl are on every fruit stand. The i | tomato, once the symbol of Cupid, has | been elevated to an article of daily diet. | Everywhere there has been evolution and progress, and now comes a Colo- | rado man with the latest, a sveulnul watermelon { | 'The methods by which the seedless watermelon is propagated are not | given to the public, but the small boy | cares nothing for this if he may be re- | lieved of the Joss of time incident to spitting out the seeds and enabled to take larger bitee. One more step and the cup of human happiness will be filled—let the experimenter proceed until he has produced a melon with neither seads nor rind and all core. | Then will rain and torrid heat in dog | days cease from troubling and vacation time for all be filled with one long, | gladsome song Traffic on the Erie Canal. Second only in importance to the en- largement and increase in capacity of the Erie canal is a movement in New York to maintain the efficiency of the present waterway pending the cou- struction of the new one. The canal is a New York enterprise, but the west has & direct and vital interest in it While only a small portion of the freight traffic between the east and west passes through the capal, it acts as a rate equalizer and indirectly af- fects every pound of freight between the two sections. As the mew nal in many places does not follow the same route there has been a tendency t@ allow the old | to do things over. OMAHA, SATURDAY, sihly permanently divert traffic trom the water route. New York business Interests see the danger of this and have taken action to prevent it. The railroads and elevator interests are showing thelr hand, which should be notice to all concerned to be active in preventing this great rate equalizer from passing into disuse. [t is of just as vital interest to the grain grower of the west as to the commercial in- terests of New York. There are 500 boats at present in operation and the {amount of traffic these can handle if the canal is kept open will bé a ma- terial factor in the rate situation. Registration. Today is the only day for revision of the registration lists for the coming city election and it is most important that every voter not already properly enrolled should appear before the reg- istrars and qualify to vote. The elec- tion, a week from next Tuesday, will determine who is to have control of the city government for three years, and these three years will constitute one of the most important periods in the city’s history It is of the utmost importance that during the next three years Omaha should regain the good name, which has been blackened by the cowboy per- formances of its municipal executive during the past three years, and every good citizen who has the reputation and the future growth of Omaha at heart has a duty to perform which he should not shirk. The first step is to qualify to vote by complying with the registration law Last year's registration holds good, except that anyone who has moved from one voting district to another must take out a transfer. Those who for any cause failed to register for last fall’s election, or who have moved into the city or become of voting age, or become naturalized since the last reg- istration, will now have an opportunity to register, Brazen. In their own newly promulgated city platform, the democratic mayor and council, who are asking an exten- sion of lease for their occupancy of the city hall, reafirm that in city affairs party politics should be subordinated to good government. Do they believe they can cover up the notorious fact that during the whole period that they bave been in power they have done nothing but play politics to the detri- ment of good government? The democratic mayor tried to use his office as a stepping stone to the governorship, one democratic council- man tried to trade his place for the sheriff’s office and another succeeded in securing a transfer to the Board of County Commissioners. The demo- cratic assistant city attorney worked himself into the Denver convention, the democratic custodian of the city hall pulled down an appointment from the governor as his reward for polit- ical activity and the democratic street commissioner set himself up as a po- litical satrap In the capacity of county chairman. All last year the city hall was the recruiting station and supply depot for the local end of the demo- | cratic national campaign. If there were ever three years in Omaha’s history where there was more | of partisan politics in the city hall and less of attention to the city's business than during the last five years of democratic misrule, it is not recorded. With such a record of political wire- pulling and manipulation, it takes a lot of brass on the part of Mayor Jim | and his councilmanic crew to prate about subordinating party politics to good government in city affairs. Ten dollars a mile looks pretty stifft price for fixing the physical valuation of the Nebraska rallroads, especially when it is remem- bered that the result will not be final, but that, from time to time, the same expenditure will bave to be met. This is another democratic venture into the realm of experimental govern- ment, and Nebraska taxpayers are pay- ing the freight. When the democratic city council was making its record, it had no thought of the coming time when it would have to face that 1ecord. This is why some of the candidates for re- election wish now they had a chance But it is too late and the people will pass a verdict very soon like a It is now asserted that it was Mrs. | Morton and not her illustrious hus- band who originated Arbor day, but why dispute over this? There is surely glory enough in the event for both, and both will long be remem- bered by Nebraska people, not omly because of Arbor day but for other reasons.

In Other Lands Side Lights on What is Wran piring Among the Near and Far Wetions of the Barth. Events are moving rapldly in Turkey. Any hour may bring news of the downfall of Abdul Hamid 11 and change the des. tiny of the Ottomah empire. The un- scrupulous craft of the sultan in bringing about the revolt of the soldlers ten days ago proved to be a dismal failure. Not at the same moment in Asiatic Turkey Doubtiess the outbreak of murder and rapine was intended to supplement and emphasize the revolt against at Constantinople and restore the reac tanaticism. That both were intimately lated 1s shown by the hurried pardons granted to the participants in the revolt. But sultanic craft was powerless in reaching the greater military body pledged to uphold constitutional government, and these forces now surround the capital and control the situation. The sultan is at thelr mercy. His final appeal his tanatical people miscarried signed to be a personal triumph devel- oped iInto a series of massacrés of Chris- tans that shocks the civilized world Meanwhile the primary author of the orgy of blood, unlike his prototype in Shake- speare’s Richard III, lacks the physical backbone to meet his enemies in the open Behind palace walls the sinister figure of the empire pleads and cringes, ready to embrace friend or opponent, If by so do- ing continuance on the throne is assured No one who studies Abdul's masterful craft and diplomacy at home and abroad need be surprised If he succeeds in worm- ing himself once more into the confidence of the dominant Young Turks, and hold on The ®rip of thirty-three vears In power is not easily shaken.

Together the two states have an area of B.911 square miles and a total pop- ulation of less than 13,000,000, During the last fiscal year their imports and exports amounted to $2,149,20,641. With an area of 204,092 square miles and a population of nearly 40,000,000 the total foreign trade of France for the last flscal year had a value of §2,183,019.628, or a little more than the trade of Belgium and Holland.

Washington Herald. Army ofticers will rejolce over the an- { nouncement which has been made by the secretary of war of the appointments by | President Taft of brigadier generals and a major general to fill prospective vacancles in those grades during the present year. The officers selected represent the ap- pointments in that class of high military Mr. Taft will have occa- siof to fill by virtue of the retirement of Brigadier General J. B. Kerr and Major General John F. Weston. The selection of the officers—Brigadier General Willlam H. Carter to be major general, and Colonels A. Augur, Tenth cavalry; John G. De Knight, corps of engineers, and M. P. Maus, Twentleth infantry, to be brigadier generals—represonts & commendable ad- herence to the desirable policy of ree- ognizing seniority. Mr. Taft fs evidently disposed to regard the colonels of line and staff, of whom there are some 120 in num- ber, as furnishing the officers from whom selection may be made In appointing gen- eral officers with dus regard to personal professional qualifications. here has been nothing more demoral- 1zing In its effects upon the commissioned { personnel of the army than the exercise of executive favoritism in the form which selects junior majors and captains to be brigadlers. Officers who are thus jumped by their juniors in rank and service are entitled to entertain a grievance when they find that their efforts are thus ig- nored and thek chances of promotion are thus blocked. Mr. Taft's appreciation of the virtue of senlority is one of the most gratifying signs of his attitude toward the military personnel, the members of which have en- tertalned the hope that there was an end of promiscuous and rampant favoritism, | positions which own CIVIL SERVICE CAREERS, Posaibilities Shown by Succe Hitehcock and Cortelyo Boston Transcript In the United States there Is a steady increase in the number of places in th civll service.
