The aseumption that the democrats were entitled to the presidency of the city council turns out to have been presumption, If the Baengerfest can come to Omaha notwithstanding the 8 o’clock lid, we guess the Eagles can likewise rise above It. If it isn’t tornadoes or Haskel] it is floods in Oklahoma and between the | three the people may count on having | a strenuous time. | Atlaanta has ralsed $100,000 for the construction of an automobile race | course.

According to Prof. Todd the people of Mars have been trying to talk to us for 500,000 years. If they cannot make us understand ‘their language they should try making signs. Under ordinary circumstances it is reasonable to expect that Mayor Jim will not spend so much time out of town during the next three years as he has during the last three years. lowa is contesting in court for a slice of Nebraska, Can it be blamed?

In s decision holding a Tennessee sheriff and his deputy and several cit fzens guilty of contempt in & lynching case, the United States gupreme court serves judicial motice that it is in fact the supreme court of the land. This notice is all the more emphatic because the contempt proceedings grew arose in an appeal taken from a conviction for murder un- der the state laws of Tennessee, public sentiment resenting the interference of the federal supreme court and the sheriff in sympathy with it not only failing to perform his duty to eafe- guard the prisoner but conniving with Primarily the verdict of the supreme court is a rebuke to the lax ideas so prevalent among southern law officers who deny to negroes equal protection of the la In this respect the de- cision teaches a lesson to all court offi- clals that it is incumbent upon them to uphold the orderly operation of the judicial machinery without distinction of color. The point of most far-reaching im- portance in the decision, however, is the direct and unequivocal declaration that In matters concerning individual liberty the federal supreme court is, in- deed, the court of final resort. If its jurisdiction is broad enough to cover a murder case arising under the state laws, it is broad enough to spread ite mantle over all the agencies needed to safeguard the civil rights which the constitution guarantees to all Ameri can citizens A Horsetraders’ Convention. The horsetraders of Texas, Okla- homa and Arkansas are going to hold a convention in June at Coalgate, OKl Just where the committee on créden tials proposes to draw the line of eligi- bility is not set out in the call, but it [ of the times that there is a tendency more pronounced among railroad man- agers than with other large corpora tions, but to a considerable manifest in all, to come to terms with the public and consent to reasonable restrictions. Such a spirit will not hasten the solution of the diffi- culties, but be conducive to an equi- table settlement only Beware of Land Grabbers. The National Public Domain league has been organized in Colorado, with the avowed 'purpose of its projectors to reach out over the other states In which there still remains any consider- able portion of the public domain, especially sections containing lands set apart for forest reserves or reclama- tion projects. The objects of the asso- clation, as set out, are to look after the rights of settlers ana would-be set- tlers on the public domain, but the personnel of its founders suggests that it may aim at nullifying the plans of the government for forest conservation lands The disposition is widespread among a portion of the people in the sections containing these reserves to ignore the fact that such lands are not the prop- erty of an individual or even of the states in which they are situated, but with the sole exception of the lands in Texas belong to the general govern- ment. It is the duty of the govern- ment to administer the public domain in the interests of the whole people rather than for the sole benefit of those living in the immedlate vicinity, al- though these latter, of course, have an immediate and vital interest in seeing them utilized to the best advantage. Mistakes have doubtless been made in the administration of both the for- estry and reclamation service, but this is inseparable with large incursions into new fields of endeavor. The dis- is a falr presumption that the man who trades sight unseen from the owner will not be admitted; in fact the cus tom of that section has been y. use such traders for the sole purpose of decorating trees. In addition to the human element to make the convention representative it should include the halt, the lame, the blind, the wind-broken and the spav- ined of the equine race, with a few | balky ones and a mule or two thrown | in for good measure, so that a realistic | borse trade clinic might be made a part | of the program. Over the door of the | convention hall might be blazoned the | sign, “He who enters here leave truth | behind,” for truth has no more place | in the repertoire of a horse trader than in that of a fisherman. The projected convention should be | worth going miles to see and for novelty and originality the wild west shows would not be in it.

Mr. Hitchcock continues to lash himself into fury over the prospective | supplanting of his pet city prosecutor. | He would have people believe that a change in this insignificant position would mark Omaha’s complete down- fall. Mr. Hitcheock's distress would be pathetic if it were not so funny. If he does not have his way about the city prosecutor he {s sure “Omaha will become general western headquarters for crooks and criminals, burglars, train robbers, porch climbers, grafters, | strong-armed men, safe blowers and swindlers of all kinds and classes.” What a terrible indictment of the present county attorney The prose- cution of all offenders of this class charged with violating the criminal law devolves upon the county attorney, who happens to be a democrat. Has the democratic county attorney gone wrong? No one can be appointed city prose- cutor, nor to any other charter office, except on nomination by the mayor, With a democratic mayor responsible for the city prosecutor and a demo- | the prosecution of professional crimi- nals, the sad case of Mr. Hitchcock is only a family affair. Another Railroad View. President W. C. Brown of the New York Central takes exactly the oppo- site view of recent railroad legislation to that expressed by President Ripley of the Santa Fe. Mr. Brown frankly | admits both that the railroads been wrong in their favoritism and dis- erimination and in objecting to all reg- |1t | political {and gamb | cutor, | cannot speak, but Hitchcock and his | have | satisfaction of worthy people thus en- gendered has been utilized by land | grabbers and speculators for an on- slaught upon the entire service and everyone connected with it.

Anyone with a real grievance should | have it righted, but no bars should be let down to the land grabber or the water power and water right grabber under cover of these walls. Council Organization. The new city council has perfected its organization by the election of Councilman Burmester as presiding | officer, which likewise puts him in line |to be acting wayor may be temporarily absent from ! mayor whenever the the city or otherwise prevented from performing the duties of his office. With the council evenly divided on lines, whoever should be made president would have to be elected with the help | of votes from the opposite camp. The fact that all six of the democrats were second termers, with the advantage of councilmanic experience, would ordi- narily give them an advantage, but in this case it has worked to the con- trary because the democrats found themselves divided over personal dif- ferences carried along with them from the preceding council, The choice of Mr. Burmester in preference to the other republican councilmen is recog- nition of his previous service in the council, whereas all of the others are entering upon councilmanic work for the first time. Mr. Burmester has the ability and experience to make an acceptable pre- siding officer. The possession of the chair should be a point in favor of the republicans in the work of the councll even though they number the same as the democrats. Few of the matters which come up for councilmanic ac- tion, however, are of a partisan char- acter and on all things which go to make good and efficient city govern- ment the councilmen will be expected to work together regardless of political divisions. corporations, and his Bee, Raliroads.
