What- |ever drafts may have been prepared by others at his request, the letter of exoneration was his more even than are the instructions of a judge made up after going over the forms sub- mitted by the attorneys in the case. | | It is, however, to be regretted that| the president’s action should be dragged into the case to such an ex tent as to call for this statement from him, although that is palpably what the so-called prosecution has been all along aiming at. The feature of the Ballinger-Pinchot dispute that has divided the department officlals and subordinates into two hostile camps, | incited breaches of trust and insubor- | dination, betokens demoralization and disorganization that will make =a thorough' overhauling eventually nec- essary if efficlency and discipline is to {be restored. The fishing expedition that has dragooned clerks and sten- ographers to question the motives of | their superiors and to try to surround ordinary transaetions with suspicious circumstances drawn from their own imaginations simply destroys = their usefulness as public servants. There {is such a thing a® overplaying the po- | litical game and if these tactica de- | signed to besmirch him do mnot pro- duce a reaction in favor of the presi- dent we will be greatly surpriged. To Validate the Withdrawals, If the cause of conservatiom is ad- vanced it will be necéssary for the senate to pass the bill that vdlidates withdrawals of public land thus far made and empowering the president to make other withdrawals when in his judgment public interest demands it. The bill has passed the house and the president says it s imperaiively important that it pass the senate, where it has been proceeding very slowly | President Taft contends that neither the constitution nor the statutes: de- fines the executive's right to make | withdrawals and, as they must at times be made when it is not possible to ob- tain congressional authority, it is- ee- sential that one general law be en- acted specific in its application. Un- less this is done every withdrawal made by the president or secretary of the interfor will be subject to attack in the courts and this may lead to end- |less complication ana ‘the gravest sort of loss to the public aomain. Already, as the president has ed out, pri- vate interests are taking advantage of the absence of a law on this point and are staking out claitw on’ {ind 'with- drawn in the hope thaf, congress will not enact this law and Whe courts will decide the withdrawalk fllegal, The position of the president in this matter of conservation of natural re- gources is impregnable. ‘‘The prob- lem is how to save and how to utilize, how to conserve and how to develop” is the way he has put it. This doec- trine comprehends the ‘use of these natural resources for the present gen- eration as well as for those yet to come and brings the whole question down to the most practical basis of consideration.” But no fine-spun the- ory or cleverly-shaped doctrine will avall anything without the necessary legal machinery to carry them into ex- ecution. Some 60,000,000 acres of public land have been withdrawn by the secretary of the interior with the | president’s approval and ufiless con- gress validates this mction -at this ses- sion the withdrawal of eyery acre may be decided illegal. A# this land com- prises the most valuable water-power sites, coal, oil and phosphates ts re- turn to the public domain would be a most serious blow to the whole sys- tem of corservation. Cotton in the Southwest, Attention has more than once been directed to the fact that cotton rais- |ing 1s not keeping pace with cotton manufacture, Cotton milis are multi- plying, even in the south, much more rapidly than the crop I8 increasing and | the supply of raw materral has already fallen far below the demand. New England and foreign countries de. pend chiefly for their cotton on the southern states, but if the south con- tinues at the present rate te manu- | facture cotton goods it will soon be producing little more than enough for its own milis. Relief naturally lies in a greater area of cotton production. This may :bo brought about to some extent by llpplylng the principles of intensified farming in the south, thus increasing the yleld per acre and also by culti- vating vast tracts of avallable land not now so employed. The south growing corn and other crops in in- creasingly large proportions and it cannot be expected to produce enough cotton alone to supply the demand much longer. California, Arizona and New Mexico must come to the rellef of the situation. California already is raising cotton and of a. high grade, too, so high, in fact, that European manufacturers are eagerly selzing every pound of it they can get, offer- ing the most favorable bids. The climatic and soil conditions ef the Pacific southwest are said to be highly adapted to cotton raising and as the mew tracts are opened up by irrigation there is no reason why is fof buildings within a prescribed dis- fo Inyite the experiment. Southern Californians are already taking hold with enthusiasm, and California en thusiasm usually begets results.

Quest of the City Beautiful. | OMAHA, May 14, 1810.~To the Bditor of The Bee: Mayor “Jim" and ouf two yel- low journals have gone on the beauty war- | path. The City National building 15 & sixteen- story structure, and a beautiful one. It should make every Omahan swell with pride. The Woodman of the World and Union Pacific bulldings will be very similar. However, the shacks alongside of those grand edifices look more like what they really are than they ever did, 80 what do our beauty doctors propose? “As long as they can't all be beautiful we will make them all look like shacks and then the difference won't be o marked.” Omaha with its wide streets surely can and a few skyscrapers, If 8t. Louls with streets half as wide can stand twenty. Just as soon s we get a metropolitan aspect up bob & score of cranks, who should move their belongings to Albright or Wahoo, environments more suitable to their dispositions. XX. Our correspondent calls attention to | another side of the picture which has elicited the suggestion to limit the height of buildings hereafter erected in Omaha to ten stories. Omaha fis| réally in much greater danger of being disfigured by one-story shacks| and two-story billboards on its main streets than it 1s by overshadowing skyscrapers. \{ Before we put an upper limit of the | height of buildings, with & view to| premoting the city beautiful, we should put a lower limit on the height tMct to prevent further disfigurement. The most beautiful citles in the world, notably Paris and Berlin and other European capitals, not only| limit the height to which bulldln511 may rise, but they also 'set a limit be- low which they must not fall, and in that way secure an approach to uni- formity. So far as Omaha is concerned the lower limit certainly seems to be more important for the present than the upper limit. A Free Ad for Mr. Bryan. This is a free ad for Willlam Jen- nings Bryan. Mr. Bryan is coming to Omaha to talk to the democratic “faithful” and impress them with the necessity of embracing county prohibition in order to save the party and put the saloon out of politics. Mr, Bryan used to make his golitical speeches here in the Auditorium, which holds from 6,000 to 8,000 peo- ple. But he measures his crowd and is content this time to speak in Wash- ington hall, which is overtaxed with much less than 600 people. Omaha has many halls which Mr. Bryan could have hired in which to make a prohibition speech, and he might possibly have gotten one of several churches at a nominal rental, but he has preferred to hire Wasning- ton hall, which is immediately over a saloon. Both saloon and hall are in a build- ing owned by the Independent Realty company, which is another form of in- corporation of the Storz Brewing com- pany. Mr. Bryan will, therefore, make his prohibition speech in Omaha in a brewery annex. This sort of foraging on the enemy may be good politics—it, at least, is as consistent as many other of Mr. Bryan's peculiar performances. Conviction of Dr, Hyde. The conyiction of Dr. Hyde by a jury returning a verdict of guilty after being out three days is naturally a surprise to all concerned. Ordinarily a jury that hangs that long either dis- agrees altogether or ends in an ac- quittal. It goes without saying that Dr, Hyde has not finished fighting for his freedom and that resort will yet be had to all the various procedures the law allows a man accused of crime, Irrespective of the merits of the case, which the jury s presumed to know and pass on with most intimate familiarity, it would seem to &n out- sider that a life imprisonment sen- tence does not fit the case. The crime with which Dr, Hyde is charged, the deliberate and cunning concoction of horrible tortures through poison and disease germs is almost unthinkable, and capital punishment would be none too good for a physician clearly proved guilty of- such heinous mal- practice. On the other hand, if the imprisonment sentence be taken to re-| flect doubt of guilt, then Dr. Hyde would be the victim of as foul a con- spiracy as ever entrapped an innocent man. What lends special interest to this case, and what has intensified senti- ment on both sides, is the large prize supposed to be hung up in the form of a residuary bequest under Million- aire Swope's will. In view of all the interests at stake, we may be sure there will be several more chapters in the now famous Hyde case. Someone has been going through the probate court records of Douglas county and comparing the personal property included in the appraisement of different estates with the last pre- ceding tax return to show that the collection of personal property taxes here is as much of a farce as it is else- where.. Someone might as well have saved himself the trouble, as nobody contends that the assessor gets all the intangible preperty on which the pay- ment of taxes would in most cases be some of the land should not be de- voted to this crop. There are millions of acres in the three states that seem i & N merely double taxation. There are but two ways to stop the flagrant eva- slon of personal taxes—either change |a bond of greater union betwken the seven years. 1 taxation features or abolish the tax on personal property altogether. Collision between a street car and al moving train has aroused the people of | Dundee to renewed insistence upon the | construction of a viaduct that will do away with the dangerous grade cross. ing.

If the people of Dundee want to make sure of getting the viaduct before Gabriel blows his trumpet they should apply without de lay to be taken into the city of Omaha Some of the demovmnc and near democratic papers are trying to make out that the recent republican banquet in Omaha was only a personal demon- stration on the part of The Bee and its editor. While complimented by | thé accusation, we regret that we can not take the credit for work done by officers and privates of a local repub- lican ¢lub, of which the editor of The Bee I8 not even a member. What more timely tribute could Americans pay to the memory of the| late king than has been selected in an | oak wreath made of foliage taken from a tree Edward planted at Mount Vernon, the home of George Washing- ton, in 1860? Oak is indicative of strength, and this tribute may also be two nations. The spectacle of Payne and Aldrich on opposite sides in congress seems to have slipped by the other fellows with- out arousing attention. Payne was against the $250,000 item in the ecivil sundry appropriations bill for the tariff board and Aldrich for it. And Tawney voted for it, with Dalzell against it. Omaha police seem to have pulled off a clever stunt in rounding up a gang of professional thieves who have been operating on the wholesale in this city and Council Bluffs. When it comes to real police sleuth work our Omaha police, despite the knocks of the knockers, will take rank with the best.

It is probable that the revised order pre- scribing regular physical exercise and the annual physical test for army officers will be issued from the War department attention of Ma- jor General Leonard Wood, after he shall have assumed the dutles of chief of staff of the army. The draft of the new order has been submitted to. the secretary war, containing some important amend- ments of the tentative order which was subjected to trial and criticism on the part of officers at the army those on duty at Fort Myer and the army | schools at Forts Monroe, Riley and Leavenworth, The secretary of war has not lacked for information upon which to base his modified order. Personally, he is inclined to add’ to the exactions. It Is known (hat General Wood possesses some decided opinions on the subject, and the secretary of war desires to confer with him before promulgating the new regulation to the service. \ | do— What is probably the last of the con. tracts for heavy furniture for quarters for army officers at all military posts has been awarded this week at the War de- partment, about $160,000 in amount, divided between three firms. It has taken three vears to acquire the various articles of heavy furniture originally planned for in- stallation. When the idea was first pre- sented to congress it was estimated by the then quartermaster general that the ex- pense would be about $1,000,000. It has been possible to obtain the furniture in extent to supply the quarters of all officers every- where for a little more thdn $300.000. The contract awarded this week Included two new articles which will be furnished to all buildings. These are divans and hatracks or halltrees. Much commendation has been bestowed on these articles of furniture, which are of mahogany and are of attrac- tively simplo design. The comptroller has not yet rendered his decision in the case of the army retired of- ficers who are on active duty and who are of the class advanced one grade on ac- count of civil war service. The Indications have been that the comptroller would hold that these officers were not entitled to the | active duty pay of the grade to which they were advanced, it being maintained that these officers did not hold the higher of- fice. The situation will probably be ad- Justed to the satisfaction of the officers most directly concerned on account of the enactment of a law, signed by the presi- dent on May 6, providing “that officers on the retired list whose rank has been or of | war college and | that this bank has months.

The descrip- tion of this equipment was published in the Army and Navy Register of May 7 and is made the subject of further comment and spectal fllustration in this number. Colonel J. A. Duncan, Sixth infantry, acting chiet of infantry on the general staff, and the Infantry members of the first section of the general staff have been constituted & com- mittee to consider the report of the infantry equipment board and will make a supple- mental report to the chief of staff. In the meantime, Captains M. B. Stewart, Eighth | infantry, and John L. De Witt, Twentieth | infantry, are at the army war college en- gaged in the preparation of a manual ex- plaining the different parts of the equip- ment. It is probable that the new equip- ment, so far as may be, will be sent out to several of the maneuver camps for trial. The experts recognize that that Is the most satisfactory method to practically test the equipment, since it will afford a reasonable period during which the foot soldier may become familiar with the outfit, In the exanilnation of disbursing ac- counts of paymasters of the army the auditor for the War department raised the question as to the right of an army officer promoted to fill a vacancy caused by the retirement of an officer of higher grade to | pay for the higher grade for the day on which his predecessor was retired from ac- tive duty. This Is a practice of long stand- ing and it has only been recently that the auditor indicated an {rregularity, which suspicion has now been confirmed by the comptroller. That officer holds: “A va- cancy In an office does not arise until the officer having the legal title to it ceases legally to hold it. As the laws do not recognize fractional parts of a day in the matter of retirements, promotions, and ap- | pointments in the army, a vacancy caused by an officer's retirement from active ser- vice does not begin to run untll the day following his retirement, and I am of the opinfon that an officer promoted by sen- fority of recelving an original appointment to fill a vacancy caused by the retirement from active duty of an officer of the higher grade is only entitled to the pay of the higher grade from and including the day succeeding the day the retirement of his predecessor became legally effective, with | the understanding, however, that, If an of- ficer receiving the original appointment in the army accepts the same on a date later thar the day succeeding the day the re- tirement of his predecessor became legally effective, he s only entitled to pay from the date of such acceptance.'
