Reduced to a maxim, theioplnlon of |the hours should be a matter of local 'belemng communities that are not in The Eight O'clock Law Stands. By decision of the supreme courty una&nimously concurred in, Nebraska 8 o'clock closing law stands as a valld enactment. The drastic character of the penalty Imposed by this law and the extraordinary methods by which it was forced through the legislature in the closing hours do not, in the opin- fon of the court, constitute constitu- tional defects that require it to be pro- nounced void. It may be taken as set- tled, therefore, that the 8§ o'clock law will remain operative until repealed or amended by the law-making body, which will be at least two years, if not indefinitely. If any liquor dealers have been placing hope in a court de- cisfon finding the law unconstitutional they should adjust themselves perma- nently to its requirements. The Bee's opinion of the unwisdom of the law {8 not changed by the fact that it is adjudged constitutional. Every community that wanted early closing could have fixed the desired closing hour under the law as it pre- viously existed—in fact, Lincoln had made 7 o'clock the closing time. Here in Omaha the Anti-saloon league had made a demand only last March upon candidates for city council that they promise an ordinance for 11 o'clock closing and had no expectation of get- ting an 8 o'clock closing order. The Bee has always believed that the regu- lation: of the liquor traffic should be left to the various localities, within certain general limitations, and that option as much as the issue or refusal to issue licenses to sell. The 8 o'clock law is bound to increase the difficulties sympathy with it, but that must not prevent a reasonable effort being made by the law officers for its enforcement. The Kaiser's Promise. It was a wise woman who exacted from the kafser his pledge not to at- tempt any airship voyage. The well- known adventurous spirit of the Ger- man emperor must have rebelled and suffered in sacrificing this ambition, for the father was just as zestful for the sport of aviation as was the son who had actually enjoyed such flight. But even at the risk of loss of spectac- ular triumph ig restraining his ambi- tion to be the most modern of Eu- ropean monarchs in the thoroughness of his personal accomplishments, the kaiser did well to submit. Not readily does such a proud and imperious man abandon his desire to be a king of the air as well as of the earth and water. Yet there is some- thing truly regal In his surrender. Not only has he given assurance of peace of mind tp a faithful wife, but also he has gratified a nation. To have tempted his fate in an airship in the present hazardous stage of aviation the manufacturers is that tarift silence is golden trade. An eastern journal speaks of the days when America ‘‘was the Garden of Eden.” Was? Is! The police of Madrid In protecting the king of Portugal are having their share of Manuel labor. For a man to shoot the buttons oft the back of his wite's gown is really carrying the mutiny too far The Omalia of the near future will be big enough to “save” lower Farnam street as well as upper Iarnam street. The Big Four must have a lot of money lylng around loose to be plun- dered of so much without noticing it. The suffragettes in London are mak- ing distinct progress. They are hit- ting the windows they throw stones at. —_— The insanity defense cloak is being made over to fit a Denver crime. Here is one fabric that never seems to show the wear. That 8 o'clock 1id law decision must be merely a revised version of Pap- rika's favorite song, “You May Learn to Like It.” Soclety leaders may make lions of the British officers at the show, but the American horse declines to play the part of the unicorn. The way in which the metropolis has fallen in'love with a uew opera whose Salome is sweet and virtuous shows that you never can tell Good sdvice reiterate: Don't throw good money after bad. Come across with the formal declaration that the street car strike is off. Take note that Mr. Fowler and Mr. Aldrich agree that our present banking currency laws are ‘‘barbarous,” but they refuse to travel together any turther. _— The case of the courageous chief of police who dispersed a niob at Calro by unmasking the leader affords fresh proof of the fact that the ordinary tloter is a coward. —_— was & popular idol, but in the present state of the British mind his elevation to the peerage may be regarded as a depression in spirits. Lest we forget! - The social clubs of Lincoln that have been dispensing booze to thelr members at Lincoln be- fore and after 8 o'clock have secured Wwould have been to achleve a vain- glorious explpit; but to yleld to - the solicitude of consort and subjects dem- onstrates a manhood that must make the empress all the more proud of her king. The Housekeeper's Problem. Those club women who have entered upon a propaganda that the housewife shall make all her daily store pur- chases, particularly her food supplies, in person, spending time enough to scrutinize her selections, overlook a few points in the housekeeper’'s prob- lem. It {8 not the well-to-do woman who telephones her orders for supplies that is in dagger of suffering from vio- lation of the pure food laws. Her abil- ity to patronize the higher-priced stores guarantees her the best that the market affords. The dealer who tries sharp practices on her loses her trade. The real sufferers from impure foods and substitutions are the myriad homes which have no telephone, be- cause it i§ a Juxury they cannot af- ford, and whose mistresses are so harassed by the countless cares of housework, which in many cases must be done by one pair of hands, that they must perforce order their supplies of the man who comes to the door, or else send one of the children out with a basket. d There is no gainsaying the merit of personal marketing, but in forcing it upon all women the fortunate club members are forgetting entirely the host of the sisterhood bound down to the daily drudgery of broom, dishpan and washtub. The Magic of Hidden Lure. The fact that another salvage com- pany has come to the end of its re- sources and the end of its hopes in digging for Captain Kidd's pirate gold on Oak island, revives memories of the long list of expeditions made to that mysterious spot in Chester bay, and will gerve as an Incentive to others to test the truth of the tradition that un- told wealth awaits the successful searcher in those isolated sands. The quest for buried secrets, whether golden metal or the intimate pages of an old romance, is never fail- ing In its hold on the popular imagina- | tion. The very name treasure island | bullds up a castle of dreams, and hu- man faith in such dreams never fades utterly. The hope that perhaps the miner abandoned his claim just on the eve of rich discovery is an incentive to the next comer. There is a magic in the mystery of the lure hidden un- der the surface which brushes aside every appeal to reason. The popular- ity of the old-fashiomed house party games, such as ‘“‘hunt the thimble,” was based on this fascination. Human w reprieve from the supreme court.

Dr. Cook, returning. from the moun- OMAHA, THURSDAY NOVEME tain peak and Arctic floes with tales of buried records, builded firmly a reputation unassailable long after he shall have passed away. The magic of such things is incontestible. Alaskan Coal Lands, Two things are evident from many-sided controversy that has arisen concerning the Alaskan coal fields, first, that they ought to be de- veloped as rapidly as possible in order to meet the degand of the northwest for fuel, and, secondly, that there is need of great care lest they get into monopolistic control of operators with- out sufficient government regulation. The United States holds a vast area of Alaskan territory known to contain coal, and under existing laws it is said to be possible for private ownerghip to gobble these up at a ridiculously low price. It would seem to be a judicious proceeding for congress to undertake better protection for this district with- out delay, in order that the rights of the public in so vital a matter may be maintaimed. This & one branch of natural resources to which the con- servation policy cannot too thoroughly be applied the Easy to Ask Questions. If the republican state convention of Ne- braska had declared for the bank guaranty would republican judges have felt sure of its unconstitutionality? Or did the repub- lican national convention settle that qu tion?—Mr. Bryan's Commoner. Because the democratic state con- vention of Nebraska declared for the bank guaranty, judges have felt sure of its constitu- tionality? Because the democrats of Oklahoma put deposit guaranty in their platform, and enacted it Into the statute books, is that the reason the democratic su- preme court of Oklahoma decided in its favor? Are democratic platforms binding on democratic judges as well as on democratic law-makers? Would a democrat elected to the bench as a nonpartisan be expected to recognize the binding quality of the democratic platform irrespective of constitutionality ? Our old friend, Edgar Howard, does not think “Grand Old Platte” did so well by his nonpartisan democrats as it should have donme. He says that with no opposition whatever put up locally by the republicans the demo- crats of ““Grand Old Platte” should have rolled up 1,600 majority. Re- spectfully referred to Chairman Byrnes of the democratic state committee and the big three, all of whom live in “Grand Old Platte.” Mr. Hitchcock’s World-Herald dom- inates as “‘a wise selection of location” the disposition of the Woodmen of the World to erect their proposed new building at Fourteenth and Farnam. Without undertaking to disagree, we wonder what he would have sald if the ‘Wopdmen had gone to Eighteenth and Farnam, the very mention of which was enough once to set him frothing at the mouth, The great deficlency of Omaha today 18 that its streets are not kept clean.—World- Herald. What heresy! Has not the street department been commanded by a democratic street commissioner for nearly four years? Hasn't all the money been spent regularly and mostly just betore electton? The expense account flled by Judge Sullivan as late democratic-nonpar- tisan-populist candidate for supreme judge discloses the payment of $100 to the democratic state committee and $25 to the populist state committee. The sacred ratio has been changed. It is now 4 to 1. The thoroughness with which Lon- don has become inoculated with the American spirit of enterprise is shown in the fact that the oldest conservative puper of that city sent its dramatic citie to New York solely to report the oyening of a new playhouse. —_— If Ig Dunn should refuse to apolo- gize or take it back and be disbarred the whole city government of Omaha might come to a standstill—at any rate, the city law department surely would. “Regrettable Inel New York Sun.

Philadelphia Ledger. Consldering the consplewsusly Influen- tial position which Senator Aldrich holds with respect to all financial and economle legislation, his appearance as an incorpor- little short of scandalous. Mr. Aldrich is no longer merely a Rhode Island man of bueiness; he has become a national figure of great Importance. He was almost a supreme dictator of the tariff policy, and he, has been formally intrsered with the | leadership in the efforts for the reform of | the banking and currency system. He has shown a parliamentary ability that had galned him increasing respect and Influ- ence as a senator. As direcror of a New Jersey corporation aiming at the control of the entire rubber trade—soth corpora- tions and rubber being subject to con- gressional action—how can he continue to hold this commanding position in the senate? FEELING HIS WAY, Senator Aldrich Sounding the Deeps in the Middle Wenst. Boston Herald. Senator Aldrich is feeling his way In the west. His initlal declaration in favor of maintaining the integrity of existing banks and opposing a system of branch banks, of preventing political influence in the control of any central institution that may be established, and also of so organizing the system as to prevent sectional control, is perfectly safe ground. None will dispute him on Ahese points. The difficulty will be in convincing the people that a central bank can be organized without one or more of these defects. And yot a bank of banks, doing business with the national banks throughout the country, owned and controlled by them through proportionate ownership of the stock. might be made proof against any of these defects and serve the needs of eurrency reorganization, WINNING oF THE WEST Senator Aldrich’s Mission of Educa- tion and Observation. Washington Post. Senator Aldrich has gone west on a re- connoissance and to deliver a speech upon the reform of the currency system of the United States. ,He Is thoroughly wide awake to thg fact that at this time the sentiment of that portion of the country is averse, even hostile, to those recommend- ations which have been generally accepted as belng the ones which will finally receive the sanction of the majority of the mone- tary commission. No one can doubt that Mr. Aldrich is alive to the need for ocur- rency reform and that he has the laudable ambition to round out his notable services | as & legislator by securing an efficaclous substitute for present complex and busi- ness disturbing monetary laws. He 1s Justified in thinking that his name linked to that of a model currency system will be a lasting honor, and he may be de- pended on to exert all his energles and talents to that end. \ Whether Mr. Aldrich will find that\the hostllity in the west is so pronounced as to make it impossible to hope for a change of sentiment s one of the most Interesting and important features of the campaign for an improvement of the monetary sys- tem of the United States. Mr. Aldrich Is entitled to a respectful and unprejudiced hearing upon currency plans, and his ad- vice should be| considered for what {t Is worth, without regard to sectional preju- dices on other public questions. Tt is also desirable that the west shall frankly make known to Mr. Aldrich jts own opinfons, in order that he may not pursue a policy whiéh he cannot hope to carry to success. A “full and free conference” between Mr. Aldrich and/ the people In the west will be most Interesting, and It may be most important. RACE TEST OF CITIZENSHIP, Naturalisation of Immigrants from the Ottoman Empire, New York Tribune The declaration of the State depart- ment on the subject of naturalization of immigrants from the Ottoman empire clears up some misapprehensions which former statesmen from other sources have caused, though it repeats our suggestion of the complications and Qifficulties which beset the wav of any attempt to base acceptability for naturalization on technical ethnological line, instead of on personal qualities and conditions Apparently the crux of the matter, so fdr as the courts’ interpretation of the naturalization statutes is concerned, is the phrase ‘“white persons,” which oceurs in the old naturalization law of 1502 and again in the revised statute of 1876. In 1802, no doubt, It was meant chiefly, if not entirely, to exclude negroes. In 1875 it was con- tessedly meant to exclude the Chinese, and perhaps also the Japanese. The question is, What Is meant at the present time by “white persons?" In the dispute over Turkish subjects it 18, of course, borne in mind that the Otto- man empire is pecullarly composite. The Arabs and Syrians are undoubtedly Semitic Caucasians, and the Armenfans are as surely Aryan Caucasians. As for the true Turks, they were unquestionably of Mon- gollan origin, belonging to the Mongolo- Tartar division of Cuvier's Mongolian race. But for centuries they have made a spec- falty of interbreeding with the purest Cau- casions, 5o that at the present time the average Turk is probaly far more Cau- jan than Mongolian. Unquestionably there should be some tests of fitness for citizenship. But if they e established on ethnographic lines we hall have the anomaly of accepting Afg- hans and Abyssinlans as Caucasian white men and of rejecting Finns and Magyars as Mongolian yellow men. If they are to be established on geographical lines, we shall see enlightened Armenians rejected as Asiaties and Polacks and Slavonians accepted as Europeans. The subject is one to which the State department, the immi- gration bureau, and the courts will doubt- ator, In & large combination or ‘“‘trust” fs | BER 11, 1909, Washington Life [| snore Sketches of Incidents and Epi- sodes that Mark the Progress of Events at the National Oapital. The popularity of the Lincoln one-cent plece, marking a coinage departure from | the Indian design of former years, prompts the Treasury department to extend the innovation to colne of larger denomina- tions. Engravers at the United States mint at Philadelphia are preparing designs |tor & new five-cent piece which will bear |the head of George Washington. It s not | vet certain whether the government will |accept any of the designs. Many hundred |dles have been made for coins never |accepted, but If this portrait coin follows | the new Lincoln penny it will be the first |coin in actual authorized ecirculation to carry the head of Washington. Yet several pattern coins bearing it have been eircu- lated Washington himself refused to allow such a cefn to be issued during his litetime. He sald it was a “monarchical” custom, not fitting in a republic Yet his head has adorned pattern coins issued In small numbers, but never adopted officially since 1788, when some 5000 to 10,00 by a well-known designer named Wyon were struck off. As late as 1863 a pattern for a two-cent plece bearing his head was made, and in 1866 a serles |of pattern five-cent pleces with his head upon them was designed, but never cir- culated This particular coin has been designed either by Engraver Morgan or Barber, of the mint. Specimens to be struck off soon will be submitted to the Treasury depart- ment in Washington. The adoption of the cofn rests with the Treasury department. “Of course we don't have any electlon® of our own,” said a Washington man, in an interview, “but we have election intl- mations, If T may call them that, which can't be duplicated anywhere else in the country. “You see when we Washingtdnians want to vote we've get to do It somewhere else; and as most of us have \a lingering fond- ness for the franchise we are pretty likely to hang on to a residence somewhere out- side the alstrict. “We ecspecially like to do it because it makes us feel as if we had some sort of weapon to flourish before the observing eyes of the politiclans who may have something to say about our hold on our jobs. And when the time comes to go home to vote we visibly swell with fm- portance. “Naturally a national election is the one that catches us all at once, and It is then that the intimations I spoke of do most abound. The papers are full of ad- vertisements of loans for election expenses. Department clerks can be accommodated with sums covering their rallway fare, new clothes for the trip and a substantial mar- gin over and above necessary items. The interest is a bit high, but ® clerk who Is pining to go back home to splurge a bit| is willing to mortgage his resources for the pleasure. “These offers of loans fill columns of the daily papers. Alongside of them are other advertisements, all turning on the one theme, the election. ‘Buy yourself s new sult to go home and vote in!' Tiw grammar is a bit off, but the prices are asserted to be all right. “In the shop windows there are dozens of election placards: ‘Just the hat to wear when you go home to vote’ ‘Speclals In suitcases for the election’; ‘Take a souvenir hatpin to your best girl when you go home to vote'; ‘Swell sult for the election; only | $1 a week'; and In a shoe store window, “Framp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march- ing—home to vote; wear —'s shoes and | you wom't get sore feet!' “The railways offer speclal rates to voters, and so It goes. You won't find anything like it In any other town." “A wife can't command her husband to live with his mother-in-law,” declared Judge DeLacy in the juvenile court of Washington the other day. “Every man | is entitled to a home of his own, and no | less an authority than George Washington has sald there s no house in the world | large enough for two families.” | Mrs. Ella Johnson sued her husband for alimony, asserting she would never again lve with him, as he made offensive re- marks about her motl Johnson pleaded he had no home life whatsoever and that his mother-in-law would not allow him (7 even come down and sit in the parlor; so that he was obliged to stay shut up in his own room or go to the club. He offered to provide a home for his wife and child if she would leave her mother. This she refused to do and the court dismissed the case. Government employes falling in fits must take the precaution to have a government doctor at hand or cause awkward compli- cations. This valuable thought is sug- gested by the recent experience of a sea- man on the lighthouse tender Crocus, who thoughtlessly went into convulsions on lh(!‘ deck one day and thereby incurred a bill for $1.50, which the government refuses to pay. The case is reported to the comp- troller of the treasury by Lieutenant Com- | mander O. D. Stearns, commanding the | Croeus, who, seeing his man writhing | about the deck, hastily called a civilian | physician, Dr. H. H. Smith of Cape Vin- cent, N. Y. Dr. Smith has presented a bill | of $1.50 and the comptroller has informed | Commander Stearns that the gavernment | cannot pay it. The regulations provide | that men of the lighthouse service, he | says, may be treated by the surgeons of | the public health and marine hospital serv- lee, but they do not provide for or au- thorize the procurement of or payment for medical service for officers or seamen h)" private physicians. Probably the common | law will protect Dr. Smith If he can get hold of the seaman. Commander Stearns is sald to be scratching his head and won- dering what he will do If the man has another fit. S. Zumoto, editor of the Japan Times of Toklo, and a member of the commercial commission now touring the country, en- tered the barber shop of his hotel in Wafn- ington and, lovingly caressing his baauu{n‘ imperial, sald: “I would like to be shaved—not alto- gether, but conservatively.” The barber tucked the towels and aprons and other articles of his trade in and around the Japanese editor's neck and went to work. Presently the Americans in the shop were startied by a fluent flow of what probably was strong language in Japanese. The barber had encroached on the Japanese imperial, with the result that half of it had fallen before the customer could protest. It was necessary then to out it all off. Members of the Japanese party emjoyed the situation, but Mr. Zumoto declined 1o see 1t In & humorous light The Last is First, St. Louls Republic It is something of a paradox that a land- lubber state like North Dakota, some 1500 miles from salt water, should give Its name to the swittest battieship afioat and one of the two or three most Dowprful But there are no differences between tne less give the careful and deliberate con- sideration which it deserves. interior and the seaboard In the matter of makes biscuits, more d SHALLENBERGER'S BREAK.
