But all of the proposed changes are not made yet. The governor of Colorado has dis- charged his entire staff. How sad it would be if war should break out be- fore the tallors could make the uni- forms for the new crop of colonels. Marian ° Harland declares that women are more rude than men. Men are not called upon to mix in this af- fray and they can have all the fun they want if they will retire to some _high spot and look on, The city council of Atlantic City has passed an ordinance prohibiting the taking of photographs on the bathing beach. The explanation is not vouch- safed whether it Is a concession to the modest or to the slim ones. The engineer who is blowing up the ice gorge at Niagara says that there is enough of the produet in sight there to refrigerate hades.

It is just as important for a city to es- tablish and maintain a good name as it is for each and every person to have a good name among his fellows, Not long ago The Bee exposed the folly of Omaha and Douglas county permitting themselves to be misrep- resented in the late democratic legls- |lature by a delegation made mp of | crooks, grafters, Incompetents, cor- poration cappers and coarse rousta- bouts. Our people have been devoting time, effort and money, year in and year out, to cement friendly relations with the cities and towns in tributary trade territory and to make Omaha stand for the best in business, art and culture, and then suffered its reputa- tion to be immeasurably damaged by the disgusting performantes of its law- makers at Lincoln. The injury to Omaha’s good name and the antagonism and prejudice cre- ated by the bunch sent to the legisla- ture simply capped the climax of the fll-repute brought down upon Omaha since our city hall was turned over to the cowboy mayor and ‘his democratic retinue. The legislative gang had only three months in which to do their damaging work, while Mayor Jim has been holding Omaha up to ridicule, scorn and odium for three years and is asking for three yests more. In the three years that “Jim” has held the whip hand Omaha’s name has been almost a by-word from one end of the country to the other. Omaha has been relegated to the cowboy class of frontier towne and advertised far |and wide as if our people were all of the cowboy varfety. Our cowboy mayor labors under the delusion that notorjety is fame and that if he can only make Omaha talked about it mat- ters not what shameful things may be said of it. The people of Omaha have a chance to restore Omaha’s good name by rele- gating their cowboy mayor to private life. Three years of a broncho-bust- ing, poker-playing, confidence-game administration of city afflairs ought to be burden enough for Omaha to bear without a self-inflicted repetition of the dose. William M. Stewart, With the death of former Senator William M. Stewart of Nevada, passes the last of the mining kings of the early days in the west. In every sense of the term Mr. Stewart was a notable figure. Bhysically, his kindly face, and patriarchal beard made him a typical single exception of his colleague, Sena- jof his kindly disposition he was en- dowed with a physical courage, which made him equal to the emergencies of those wild days in the far western mining camps. During his career Senator Stewart made and lost several fortunes and at the time of his retirement from the senate it was announced that he was almost poverty-stricken. Despite his years, with true western courage, he set about the rehabilitation of his for- tunes and though it is not thought his wealth now mounts into the millions, as It once did, he died more than com- fortably welkfixed, his intimate knowl- edge in mining having enabled him to profit by the later discoveries in his home state. The late Senator Stewart was a type of a man which the conditions surrounding him in his younger days inevitably brought to the front, and with others of his clags, left an in- delible imprint on the atfairs of the Pacific slope. They did their work well in their day and 1§ has been given to him to survive longer than his compatriots. and witness a fuller fruiting of the empire which was builded upon their faith and struggles. Excuses for Crime, Ever since Adam entered the plea that Eve tempted him, man has been prolific In excuses for his misdeeds and the records of the courts would indicate that human ingenulty had about exhausted itself in this direc- tion. It is so much easier to shift the | blame on someone else than to shoul- der it yourself and suffer the con- sequences. Men and women whose sanity had never been questioned, sud- denly discover, with the aid of an at- torney, that they have been insane for | years, when their passions lead them into colligion with the law. The science of heredity is appealed to and the dead are besmirched to find a | 1oophole through which the living may escape punishment. One of the latest developments of the prevailing legal-medico fads is the defense of a man of hitherto high standing in Atlanta, who was detected at stealing and pleaded that a blow on the head received years before had made him a thief. No matter how ab- surd the excuse learned men can al- ways be found who will go on the wit- ness stand and back up the case with the weight of their opinion. The frequent acquittals on such de- fenses, of men whose criminal acts are clearly proven, raises the question if the law is not going a little too far in this respect and whether the public | is not entitled to some protection. Ad- mitting that men who have really suf- fered a mental lapse should not be punished as responsible criminals, it that their bursts of violence soclety needs irresponsible vagaries or out- THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL pleas be made so frequently? If to the certainty of such retirement, were added the assurance that they would niot be released as soon as the oceur- rence had ceased to be a subject of public ~ discussion, there Is good ground for belief that more criminal cases would be tried on the real evi- dence of guilt or innocence. Uniform Legislation. That the demand for uniformity of state legislation, affecting conditions of business that cut across state lines, is not confined to one section, is made manifest by the report just made to the governor of Connecticut by a commission appointed to promote legislative uniformity. The commission notes that Con- necticut has enacted a warehouse re- ceipt law, Intended to make uniform throughout the union the legal limi- tations of the transfer of personal property, this law having been formu- lated and recommended by the general conference on uniform state laws and passed now in fourteen different states. Another law, which is also the work of the national conference on uniform laws, relates to negotiable in- struments and has been put on the statute books in thirty-two states, two territorfes and the District of Colum- bia. The enumeration of the states which have adopted the negotiable in- struments’ act, includes Nebraska, al- though the list of those that have passed the warehouse receipts’ act does not include this state. The other subjects, which the com- mission {is pressing for uniform ac- tion on the part of the states include a law governing the transfer of cer- tificates of corporate stock, a law con- cerning bills of lading and a law gov- erning partnerships. The report of the Connecticut commission goes on to say: The growing strength of this movement and the constantly increasing number of states which have adopted laws recom- mended by the conference makes it prob- able that within a few years the law gov- erning these matters will be the same everywhere within the territory of the United States, and that this extremely de- sirable result will be brought about with- out the Interference of the central govern- ment solely by the exercise of legislative comity between the various units which constitute the nation. We regret that Nebraska cannot give as good a report to the next con- ference on uniform legislation as does Connecticut. The members of our late legislature, unfortunately, could not get it through their heads that uniformity with other states in the matter of laws affecting business is desirable, and that the state which deliberately puts itself out of line with Santa Claus. Mentally his equipment | other states really injures its own peo- was of the highest order and with the [ ;1o and its own business interests. ‘The movement for uniform state legis- tor John P. Jones, he was the ablest | jation, however, is In its infancy and of the free silver advocates. With all | we may hope that our Nebraska law- makers of the future will be more deeply impressed by it and more dis- posed to co-operate with it. What it Costs to Live. Under the auspices of the Sage foundation, Prof. Colt Chapin of Be- loit college has been conducting some investigations of what it costs the laboringman to live in New York. A careful survey discloses that with a family of five on $900 per year, a de- cent living is possible, but little mar- gin remains for recreation or mis- fortune. Any income below this, the professor finds, means that the fam- ily must reduce its scale of living be- low what in New York is termed “de- cent.” It these canclusions are correct, and there appears to be no reason to ques- tion them, a serlous sociological prob- lem is presented, so far at least, as the metropolis is concerned. It does not require further investigation to tell that there are thousands of famiiles in New York which do not have that amount to live upon. Any scale of liv- ing below what may be termed ‘“de- cent,” means an impairment of both the mental and physical fabric. The Investigation shows that nearly half the total income of those receiv- ing $900 goes for food, the next larg- est item being rent. In those of smaller incomes the percentage paid for rent runs as high as 27 per cent of the total. What is true of New York is true, in a probably lesser extent, of other American cities. The demand, however, is every- where for cheaper rents and cheaper living expenses, yet how to cheapen them is the serious problem. Cheaper provisions can only come through les- sening the toll between the producer and the consumer, for supply and de- mand are governed by inexorable laws which fix other elements of the price. mm— Women and Immoral Plays. Under the lead of the Women's clubs the women of New York and other eastern cities are starting a cru- sade against immoral plays. If the immoral play is to be abolished the start s belng made in the right place and by the right people. is the birthplace of the drama and no considerable number of plays are put on which are not orig- inally produced there. That the women can solve the prob- lem if they will Is brought home to everyone who has observed the aver- age theater audiences. Almost with- out excepkion they contain more women than men. Eliminate the women and the men who are there as escorts of women and little would remain. The count of cash in the box office would not reveal enough to enable the does not dispose of the proposition | ghost to stalk if the patronage of men protection from |alone were depended upon.

Only 8o long as the box office index shows that suggestive shows bring the greatest returns, just 80 long will the managers feed the public upon them. Get the Garden Habit. In these days when the cost of liv- ing is mounting up until the problem of making the income account balance the needs of, the family, s a good time to turn for relief to the back yard garden. The amount which can be raised on a small plot of ground well tilled ig astonishing and the utilization of these patches, which are lying idle, | may be a big factor in solving the economic: problem of the home. A growing tomato vine is much more of an ornament than an empty tomato can in the back yard, and a blister on Jyour hand resulting from gripping a hoehandle much to be preferred to a glassy spot on the seat of your trous- ers due to constant contact with a porch chair. A melted down collar due to eradicating parsley is no more diffi- cult to launder than one rendered un- serviceable playing one-old-cat with the boy and it will produce a whole lot more for the family table. The backyard bean and spud are gold mines on a small scale, which are more certain to render dividends than the kind which gives back nothing | but a gilded certificate whose only purpose ig to remind you in subse- quent years that a chump and his money had been parted. Beautifying the National Capital. The latest scheme for beautifying | the city of Washington and at the same time serving a useful purpose | is to form, out of one of the streets leading from the capitol, an avenue of | the presidents and vice presidents. The plan is to start with a statue of ‘Washington and, in regular order down the avenue, place the statues of the successors of the first chief executive. American cities, owing to their com- parative youth, are far behind those of the old world in ornate adornment. From the nature of things the beauti- ful has been too often forgotten or pushed aside for the practical, but In Washington, the capital of the nation, a good start has been made on the road to civic beautification. In many places rise monuments to the great men of our history and among them many of the: presidents, but the pres- ent proposal adds to the idea of civie beauty that of historical value. Only a small portion of the people of the United States ever see the capital city, but the man who i8 so devoid of na- tional pride as not to desire to have it made one of the grandest and most | beautiful capitals of the world, is not worthy of the citizenship which is his heritage. Value of Peace and Order. Peace and order have a commercial as well as a sentimental and moral value. In f{llustration the republic of San Domingo was for years racked by discord and petty wars and plundered by first one despot and then another. The result was a burden of national debt and a people surrounded by most bountiful natural resources were pau- perized and the national treasury bankrupt. So insistent did forelgn creditors become and so intolerable the conditions that the United States, to prevent some European nation step- ping in, intervened, and officials from this country undertook the task of the fiscal administration. The warring factions were told to cease their fight- ing and go to work; since which time peace and order have prevailed in San Domingo. ‘What these conditions have wrought are a most powerful argument ‘for good government. The honest admin- istration of the revenues of the coun- try have enabled it to make a substan- tial reduction in the principal as well as meeting the interest on the public debt, which before was in default In commerce the results are no les gratifying. In 1905, when the United States took charge, the imports were $2,736,828, and In 1908 they were $5,127,463. The exports in 1905 were $6,896,844, and 4dn 1908 they were $9,486,344. The internal com- merce of the country shows a com- paratively large increase, for stability allows the producer and the trades- man to hope that he will reap the re ward of his labor. The large number of nonproducing who Joined first foree and then another for plunder offered, have to join the army of producers instead of destroyers.
