Or, perhaps the question should have been, How much bigger is Omaha now than it was ten years ago? Senator Heyburn objects to his cel- leagues smiling when he talks. Strange why anyone would feel like laughing under such circumstances. it may be the inalienable right of & woman to wear a hat as wide as she likes, but how about holding out her age from the census taker? Having enacted a law to disfran- chise the negro, the Maryland legisla- ture has now passed a bill prohibiting cock fighting. Adding insult to injury. e Another ordinance has been intro- duced to regulate the street cerner pushcart man. As if these poor fel- lows were not harassed enough already. One answer to the “How big is Qmaha?’ question puts the figure at something over 350,000. Well, at any rate, it 100ks that big to a stranger at frst glance. Mr. Hobson says the United States can establish an gquilibrium on the waters for only $64,000,000 a year for ten years. If that is all, let us have the ‘equilibrium at once. One thing must be said for young Mr. Knox—throughout his matrl- monial exploit he has discreetly held his tongue, and that s the first ele ment of a good diplomat James J. Hill can figure closer on & small proposition than anybody. Now he estimates dhat it will take just $9.600,000,000 to make the rallway improvements the country needs.

There can be mo doubt that "he Spanish spirit of revenge for Cuba's loss has never died. It is a| most unfortunate and deplorable elr-| cumstance though that this vindictive. ness should be carried to the extent of embrolling the great Cat church with a friendly people. Evidently the milk in the cocoanut has been soured by Spanish sauce, The Wets and the Drys. The annual tug-of-war between the wets and drys in the spring elections of Nebraska towns has Jjust taken place, with the usual pendulum-like results. Some towns which were dry have gone wet and some other towns which® were wet have gone dry. The returns so far in apparently indicate that the wets have the better of it and have regained the ground they lost last year, when the drift of opinion was more marked the other way. The culmination of the tug-of-war will come next week in the special election at Lincoln, which will determine whether the state capital, which voted dry a year ago, will stay with it or will pronounce the experiment unsatisfac: tory and 1'me up again with the wets. In these contests local factors always enter, often to a sufficient degree to be the determining force, which in many cases accounts for the oscillating and uncertain attitude of the same town from one year to the next. The significance of the wet and dry | tournament, however, lles in furnish- ing the very best evidence that under | the Slocumb law, which has prevailed in Nebraska without important change for nearly thirty years, we have the most perfect and responsive system of local option that has been devised. No license is issued to sell liquor in any incorporated city or town in Nebraska excépt. after an expression . of . the voters and the registration of a ma- jority in favor'of license. As soon as the majority is opposed to liquor sell- ing renewal of licenses is shut off, and the majority rules all the time. The majority that rules, moreover, is the majority in the city or town that is- sues the license, and the people of one | city or town have no opportunity to Wote any other city or town wet or dry, but each determines its own policy for itself. As everyone admits, the en- forcement of liquor laws depends chiefly on the public sentiment of the community, and the local option sys- tem which we have in Nebraska, by which the majority of voters in each city or town say whether it is to be wet or dry, comes nearer giving the law the necessary backing in public senti- ment than any other plan that has been tried. | A Prize Package Princess. Civilization must be making rapid progress in the orient. Turkey has caught up to the American colonies al- ready. When Virginia was in {ts swaddling clothes men bought wives with tobacco. In Turkey they get them as rewards for merely overturning an empire. by According to veracious advices, En- ver Bey, now military attache in Ber- lin, has just been presented by Mo- hammed, the new sultan, with a nice, plump Turkish princess as a royal bounty for his part in deposing Abdul Hamld, the old sultan, who is exiled in a rickety old. $5,000,000 palace with only eleven of his wives to make life livable. The revolution has not wiped | out everything oriental. | This princess is 16 years of age and | the nlece of both the former and pres- ent sultans, Enver Bey has not yet |seen her and has only a photograph | of her brother on which to base his affection for the young woman, a rather intangible basis for such a structure, But he is making no com- plaint on that score; the only objec tion be has to enter is that she is not a sister, instead ‘of a nleee, of the | tormer sultan, for it is an ancient cus tom in Turkey to rub it into your van- quished foe by picking out his nearest avallable kin as the trophy of triumph. Colonel Bey feels that inasmuch as he | ally slipped the throne from under Mr. | Hamid and paved the way for Moham med's elevation he ought at least get a half-sister of the old ruler. But, while he has not the the time now to leave his post in Berlin and go to Con- stantinople to sourt the princess, he has decided to accept her and, at the lege of Leconiing his wife People of the occident shook tneir heads at the very outset of this new Ottoman regime whem a man calling himself Mohammed” came mounting the leader of real re-| the form.

President and Public Domain. The president’s comsistent fight land bill that will meet tor the same time best promote the interests of the general conservation movement, Is evidently bearing fruit. His stra tegic move in bringing together the various elements in congress represent ing the different angles of this meas- ure has had the desired effect of sub stantially uniting all on a bill which ft is belleved will prove entirely satis factory and succeseful The main feature of this bill, which it has been so difficult to se cure unanimity of sentiment, is that regulating the right of the president to withdraw public land in the United States and Alaska for public uses This is a right which some have in- sisted belonged to the president al ready, but Mr. Taft disagreed with them, believing that the president had no power to make such withdrawals until specifically authorized by con gress. The best way to determine the question s the way it is to be deter mined—passing a bill making the spe- cific grant of authority. The measure not onty defines the power of the president in this pro cedure, but increases the scope of his initiative in dealing with the public domain. Correspondingly it subtracts from the similar authority of congress. It has been demonstrated that con gress, with its public land views vary- ing as widely as the makeup of its membership, can not be depended on for prompt action in land matters, So far as the check and balance feature of the law Is concerned, the bill takes care of that. It is not going to confer on the chlef executive any dangerous amount of power. In the form as agreed to it simply gives to the president the power he needs to pur- sue the present policy.under color of law and put a stop to all hue and cry of irregularity in connection with land matters. on Every member of Omaha's Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is un- der oath not to be controlled by polit- jcal considerations in making appoint- ments or promotions in the police and fire departments. Violation of this oath is ground for impeachment and removal. If one member of the board is sure he is the only one who is con- scientiously performing his duty, it is up to him to start proceedings to vin- dicate himself. Several eastern papers have pub- lished a report that the Omaha naval recruiting station has rejected Ne- braska men because they are too flat- footed for government service. That libel could have originated nowhere except in Chicago, which has vainly tried for years to divert attention from its own feet. The World-Herald concedes ‘‘there is merit” in the suggestion of the ed- itor of The Bee that the court house square be made the beauty center of Omaha and specially adapted for use on festive occaslons as a court of honor. Thanks, awfully. Push it along. Mr. Bryan may nhave sald that he hoped it would not be necessary for him to be a candidate for senator this year, but it begins to look as if he would have to say ““Yes” or “No” without any if's or and’s about it. Nothing else goes. Bishop Mcintyre and Archbishop Ireland are not showing the same amount of self-restraint as Mr. Roose- velt has shown. These eminent churchmen might take a lesson in the use of soft words from our ferocious lion hunter. As if the Methodist church had not enough already to keep it busy, the three aged Wardlaw sisters of New Jersey, accused of the Snead murder. have thrown themselves upon the church for assistance, Mayor {'Jim" thinks the police force should be reorganized as an assistant street cleaning department.

American Party Emblems Familiar to Egyptian Writers. Boston Transcript. Press reports from Egypt give but an inadequate idea of what the native editor meant in his hewspaper when, in alluding 10 the eulogists of Roosevelt's speech, he wrote that ‘they were able to make a donkey's tail look like an elephant's trunk, quoting, it 1s sald, an old and familar Arabian proverb. That this native editof understood that he was trading with the great emblems of the political parties which divide America with thelr contentions must itied that G. O. P., the animal on whose back our ex-president has ridden with such distinguished success across Africa's jungles and through classic halls. The donkey's tall likewise represents the actiy- ity of an aroused democracy, with a capital D, because that appendage exhibits a sus- ‘tained vigor of action rarely Influenced by any high degree of intelligence. The elephant’s trunk, on the other hand, is craftily reaching out for things, and this has fypitied the republican characteristic of constructiveness, while that of the de- moemcy has been opposition and resi ance. It is to be hoped that nothing in the ex-president's utterances suggests to the Arab any merging of these two features of the zoological park. The elephant wiil still grab democratic fssues that may be lying around loose, as of yore, but that the sturdy animal will debase his trunk to fly- frightening unthinkable.

Edwards, “Big BIll' Edwards, street commissioner of New York, spoke on “The Work of the reet Cleaning Department of New York City” at the weekly long-table luncheon of the City club. The two leading facts brought out by Mr. Edwards were that the work of keeping clean the streets of any city Is both useful and honorable and that this work can only be carrled on most ef- fectively by the co-operation of citizens with the street cleaning bureau. “The question of street cleaning,” sald the speaker, ‘“resolves itselt into three questions: First,.how much money have you to spend? Second, what will the peo- ple demand of you? and third, what ferce have you with which to carry on the work? Around these three questions gathers the fallure or the success of the work of street cleaning. When one stops to realize that to keep clean the streets of Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn is to| keep clean about 2200 miles of streets; when one realizes that about 6,600 men are required to start every morning to do this work, and when one realizes that about 7,600,000 was expended last year in New York City to carry it on, one must realize the importance and magnitude of the work of the street cleaning bureau. Mr. Edwards then referred to the meth- ods of street cleaning, mentionng an auto- mobile vacuum cleaner now in use, which gathers from the street objects as large as old shoes and bottles and as small as pins. But useful as all such engines are, Edwards declared that nothing could be accomplished without an effective sys- tem of flushing the strests with wafer.
