The city slaughter house inspector is to have an assistant, while the city bacteriologist will have to continue to 8o it alone. The question that confronts us in the passing of the comet is, On what shall we lay the blame for bad weather after its departure? These diamond displays in Omaha are also calculated to put a crimp in the calamity talk indulged in for po- litical purposes only. It may be of interest to note that Rev. Billy Sunday will be preaching in San Francisco, while Jeft is licking Johnson over the bay.

While the results of the republican primaries in the congressional dis. tricts of Ohio are not conclusive as to - | the electfon in the fall, they reflect a degree of party unity which earlier re ports did not concede and indicate that there ig far less discontent within the than was heralded abroad. Ohio, in was one of the strong republican states | which democrats had already begun to on the basis of factional strife among the republicans, but it is impos sible to justify this claim in the light of these primaries The issues were squarely drawn be- tween the sitting members of congress | and their critics in this primary, so | that the outcome will be taken as fairly reflecting the relative strength and the test is encouraging of ultimate republi- can success, because not even in the districts where the strongest fights were made is there believed to be fac- tional differences that cannot be al- layed before election day. For the democrats, whose whole campaign in and out of congress has been constructed upon the one hope of republican dissension, these re- sults offer poor encouragement. They are almost certain to exert an influ- ence in other states that will go far toward closing gaps in republican ranks and paving the way for suecess at the polls this fall. No Need to Wait. Now, 1 tell you what I am golng to do. 1 am going to add to the planks of our democratic platform, it I can. 1 am going 1o Add another plank declaring in favor. of the enforcement of the law that we have and prevent brewers from owning saloons | under other names. (Laughter.) And I am EOILE to ask The Bee to join with me and ask for that kind of a plahk in the repub- lican platform. (Laughler.) If it i1s wrong for the brewer to own u saloon, then it is wrong for the brewing company to own and control another company that owns a saloon. 1 thank The Bee for glving me this proof that the brewers are a lawless class, and I ask it now to help me to make them obey the laws of this state.— Bryan at Washington hail. It any brewing company is violating or evading the law forbidding it to own a saloon, there is no need to wait for a platform declaration by any political party to stop it. Mr. Bryan as a lawyer certainly knows that much. Bspecially is this true right here in Douglas county, where we have a democratic county attorney, elected on the same ticket on which Mr. Bryan ran two years ago, who has full power and authority to see to it that all the laws governing the sale of liquor and regulating the liquor traffic are enforced. Instead of writing another plank for the demo- cratic platform which he expects to dictate to the next democratic state convention, Mr. Bryan should write an open letter to the democratic county attorney of Douglas county, or, better vet, volunteer himself. to help bring a sult in court as he did’when he crowded Attorney General Smyth out of the maximum rate cases. Incidentally, however, if it is wrong for a brewer to sail under false colors by hiding under another ngme, what about a political party hoisting the purloined banner of another political party? What about the theft of the populist label by Mr. Bryan's demo- cratic presidential electors two years ago, which alone ved to him the electoral vote ot his home state by mis- appropriating the votes of populists who would otherwise have voted for Tom Watson? The Bee is in favor of a plank in the next republican state platform promising to put an end to the dishonest masquerading of one political party in the stolen clothes of another political party, and here asks Mr. Bryan to join it°and ask for the same kind of plank in the democratic platform. How the Comet Marks Time. Whatever else Halley's comet teaches it must make men stop and ponder on the lesson of human prog- res: It is epochal In its recurrences and marks off the milestones by which the development of the race may be reckoned. Its course is traced from 11 B. C. when, observed at Rome, it is believed to have presaged the death of Agrippa, and Josephus saw in its pres- ence at Jerusalem a forecast of the Holy City's doom, On down through history it comes and rests over Eng- land as William of Normandy enters upon his invasion. The superstitious Turks beheld in {ts mysterious reap- pearance a token of Allah's love for every loyal Mohammedan. Galileo, con- founded by simpler mysteries of sclence, was probably greatly per- plexed by this vagrant of the centuries, while Isaac Newton, we are told, was the most intimate friend of Edmund Halley, whose name the comet bears. But it is not necessary to go back so far into history to get the lesson of progress which the comet teaches. Sclentists in California are to ‘“‘sweep its tail” by the use of sclentific ap- paratus in the hope of determining its | composition and constitutent elements. | The thought itself is all but overpow- ering—mankind essaying to tamper thus with profound mysteries of the unseen. On the comet’s last transit, something near four score years ago, the land in which this amazing demon- stration is to be made was but a waste of territory, a wilderness, inhabited only by the forerunners of civilization. And it the simple inhabitants of the Pacific slope saw the comet sevemty- five years ago they saw no more fn it than did the superstitious and u learned men of the ages gone in the older world. ing rousing receptions wherever they go.

Effioacy of Aroused Pubiic Sentiment. The vice president of the Illinols ‘Mlnuhclurflrs' assoclation, addressing fact, | & convention of shippers assembled to protest against additlonal advances in | freight rates, lald down this proposl- tion: There {s nothing in this eountry that wiil stralghten the railroads out lke publie sentiment when it Is thoroughly aroused. but It sometimes takes & volcano to a public sentiment. buse it has been aroused on this very ques- tion of freight rate regulation a long time and it has more than once crystal- lized into tangible résults. It was aroused public sentiment that en- larged the powers of the Interstate Commerce commission, enabling that body to deal effectively with this and other railroad problems and it was aroused public sentiment that put the pass and the rebate out of use and thus helped to purge business and poli- tics ofy evils that had become untoler- able. There is, of course, more that public sentiment can and will un- doubtedly do, in this direction, but it has done enough already to make re lief possible to these big shippers from any exactions against which they may protest by recourse to the courts. In the good old days of the rebate this speech would have been more remarkable than it is today. Then public sentiment was not ap- pealed to from such organizations that now fear higher frelght rates might mean higher cost of living to the peo- ple. The enjoyment of special privi- leges in shipping, which the people generally did not have, tended to dull the sensibilities of the large business interests to their rights and to dis- courage any move toward arousing public sentiment that might antago- nize the railroads. If high freight rates figure as an element in the high cost of living, as they doubtless do, the people who eliminated the pernicious evil of dis- crimination will eventually enforce an equitable level of schedules through an aroused public sentiment, Trade with Mexico. The United States should enjoy bet- ter trade relations than it does with Mexico. Not enough traffic is passing back and forth between the two re- publics. Statistics published by Mexico show a radical decline in imports by Mexico from the United States, a fall of from $146,000,000 to $90,000,000 in two year: True, the figures sent out by the government at Washington do not con- firm so heavy a loss, but they do not show better than a_ standstil. It is also true that Mexico’s imports from other countries as well are on the de- cline. This, of course, indicates that the southern republic is content to use what raw material or manufac- tured articles it has and forego the ex- pense or exertion of drawing upon other countries, but this policy, while it may satisfy Mexicans, should not do for Americans. They should proceed at once to arouse Mexico to the con- sumption of our goods more than it is buying. The matter of tariff has nothing to do with this situation, nor has the question of good will. The most ami- cable jrelations exist between the United States and Mexico and there is no tariff that in any way could serve to restrict commerce. We need the Mexican trade and should have it. The market right at our very door is too inviting to be lost and it is strange that the Yankee drummer has ever allowed his sales to fall off in this way. The Lincoln Star insists that no one connected with it is permitted to promote the interests of any candidate for office, but ignores the question whether the late ambassador to Mex- fco, who is reputed'to be its owner, is still connected with it. Perhaps the Star man who made that unequivocal declaration forgot that he was working for Mr. Thompson. It scme of those Washington bur- eaucrats would get a lot of well- seasoned clubs and go arter each other maybe this hubbub would come to a settlement much quicker than by the process of officlal investigation. There can be too much mistaken patriotism and not enough fidelity to trust among the lesser lights. The World-Herald at least selected a particularly bad day to contrast democratic harmony banquets with re- publican get-together dinners on the very morning after Mr. Bryan drove his flying wedge in between the war- ring democratic factions, right within a stone's throw of its editorial sanc- um. “I prefer that this nation shall set an example for peace and not walt for other nations to join with us,” said Mr. Bryan in his peace speech. Re- member ‘“‘the free and unlimited coin- age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.” Proot that times have changed is to be found in the fact that the local democratic organ refuses to give Mr. Bryan first page space for his excur- sion into Douglas county politics.

Then they all adjourned from hotel to hotel until it was too late to see the comet. 2 It was Butte's night to howl and Butte was howling out wést and back east at the same time.

Western Laborer. Bryan's speech before the Farmers' union In St. Louls last Satur- day the press dispatches quote him as tollows: “Newspapers were criticised for opening their advertising columns to liquor an- nouncements and he sald that If news- papers did not have so many liquor ad- vertisements on their advertising pages there would be more editorials on the liquor question on the editorial pages.” We have never seen a liquor advertise- ment in the Commoner and previous to & few months ago there never was an edi- torlal on the lquor question in the Com- moner. The influence of ‘the press on the liquor question no doubt Is very important, but we know the income from liquor sources In W. I for advertising in Omaha newspapers is very small compared with the retafl ad- vertising. When the prohibition question was before the voters of Nebraska twenty years ago Edward Rosewater of The Bee led the fight againt it and spent thousands of dollars of his own money in bringing about the defeat of that amendment. But when he was a candidate for senator the interests that profited by his great fight dla not contribute a cent to assist him. Last year one Omaha brewery spent §50,000 on bill board advertising, and we doubt it it spent $%0 In newspaper advertising In Omaha. J. L. Brandels & Sons spend more money on advertising in one month than all the brewers in Omaha combined spend in newspaper advertising in this clty in a year, yet the Brandels do not expect the cditorial pages of the papers they adver- tise In to be gorged with editorials boost- ing their game. We think Mr. Bryan's St. Louls speech {8 far from the truth and entirely uncalled for. The Omaha news- papers would starve to death were they to depend on the advertising of brewers to keep them allve. Monday's Bee, News and World-Herald did not contain one line of brewery advertising. The brewery adver- tising In The Laborer does not exceed $20 per month. The Antl-Saloon league gets more free space in the Omaha papers than the brewers. We don't like Mr. Bryan's unjust knock on the newspapers. His liquor editorials are too fresh to warrant criticism or other editors not flopping when he aid. ¢ Our Birthday Book May 19, 1910 Samuel G.

Every now and then Silberberg, bemoaning the' fact that kilts are made without pockets, stooped and massaged his knees into corsciousness of cold. His fellow ticket speculators laughed at him raucously; and the newsboys pinked his exposed calves with small pebbles. But he ald a land-office business with those attracted by his costume. “What's your name, Sawney?' asked a big man with a beard of brilliant red. “‘Mose,” sald Silberberg. “And phwat,” asked the Scotchman, in-| dignantly, ‘s ane ae the ten treebes daein’ in a MacGreegor kiltle, hey, mon?" Bilberberg and the Scotchman held a private conversation, in which Silberberg explained that he sought to sell tickets by trick and device. “If you're a good feller, Mr. Scotchman,” said Silberberg, “you'll tell me what Scotties do to keep their legs warm on a day like thi: The Bcotchman sald he would tell the secret If Mr. Silberberg would give him a ticket at cut rates. Bventually Silber- berg agreed, and the transfer was made. “They aye pit on their pants,” sald the heartless Scotchman, “What do you think of this for a spe- clalty?" sald a man who knows the ins and outs of Long Acre square. ‘“There are carpenter shops in this nelghborhood, where the chief source of income is box- ing chorus girls' hats.

R — BRYAN AND HITCHCOCK. Some Reflection on Cracking Party Faction Whip. Sioux City Tribune. Congressman Hitchcock persists in hold- ing Mr. Bryan to the alleged promise. In the secretary of state's office at Lin- coln, & day or two ago where he was filing his senatorial candidacy, the con- gressman referred to Mr. Bryan's promise not to accept the senatorship. “No,* he said, “I do not belleve Mr. Bryan will be candidate for United States senator. 1 beliove Mr. Bryan is a man of his word,”” Speaking further of the com- ing campalgn Mr. Hitchcock said: “I op- pose an extra session belleving such a ses- slon and not justifiable at this time County option {8 not a party question.’” 1t would be more respectful toward Mr. Bryan personally, more tactful toward the Bryan faction who want Mr. Bryan and altogether more conducive to harmony it the congressman could refrain from re- {terating that promise which he says Mr. Bryan made privately to him. He threat- ens to hold Mr. Bryan to his word. But Mr. Bryan has not yet admitted that he gave the word as Mr. Hitchcock puts it, Mr. Bryan frankly gives out that he is not a candidate in the sense of seeking the office but he does not admft that he promised”to refuse the senatorship if tend- ered to him, Mr. Bryan seems to recognize that higher law which the congressman overlooks, that no man has the moral right to bar- gain privately that he will refuse to hear a call from the people. Mr. Hitchcock hurts his candidacy when he presumes to crack the whip over Mr. Bryan and over the party. the 'ERSONAL NOTES NEXT MONDAY From the Big ALEXANDER SMITH . New York Auction, !

The people read of tariff revision, cost of living, adulteration, pure food, high prices, all wool, shoddy, etc. They learn to study conditions and to economize. They learn how to buy to advantage, and quite as a matter of course they turn from the news col- umns to the advertising columns of their home paper to see what you have to ofter, Mr. Merchant, in the way of quality, service and fair prices. Give these interested and intelligent readers your store news. Talk to them honestly and intelligently about the guality and service of your goods, your prices based on actual values, and impress them with the fact that your reputation stands back of every word in your advertising, back of every article you offer for sale. The readers of The Bee are intelli- gent people; intelligent advertising will appeal to them, will win their confidence, will make them your cus- tomers. Try it, Mr. Merchant. A 4-inch space in The Bee will reach over 150, 000 people every Qay at a cost to you of about 1 cent for 400 people. Think it over. Make-Believe Advertising. John Wanamaker once said to a young business man who sought his advice: ‘I owe my success to news paper advertising. I know that I can reach the eyes of more purchasers that way than in any other.” There {8 a whole business sermon in those two sentences. The secret of successful newspaper advertising ls three-fold: First, in having the goods that people want; second, the price; third, the ability to attract your read- ers.

He sal “‘As I hifWe spoken before, newspaper advertising is the secret of my success. Kach copy is & salesman calling attention to the stock of the advertiser. How, many homes ure there today where lnd first thing they do is to look at the \ merchant's advertisement, whether it is the clothier, dry goods man or the furniture dealer? Let me tell you, my son, any successful advertiser in the press can answer that question, and can anawer it mighty optimist- ically, too.” Tommy needs a new suit—is it your advertisement Mrs. Houselold is look- ing over, or is it the other man's, down the street, who lately has been forced to break ground for more space and big improvements? Sister wants a new dress—was your advertisement placed in that newspaper? Mrs. Bar- gainday rushes In the house calling attention to the low-priced muslin on -~ gale Tuesday afternoon.

He originates ] and prepares for special sales and thus creates new business. Dull days are unknown to him. He is always loo ing for something that will please Ab customers and then tells them about it in the newspapers, and the result is quick and profitable sales all tandx* toward succes: The man who never advertises is al '] ways bemoaning hard time “No business,” Everything Is dead,” “‘Can't pay expenses,” these belng his dally 1 and favorite expressions.
