Congress will be doing the proper thing by Porto Rico to pass the bill defining the scope of its civil govern- ment which carries a bill of rights tixing its status of citizenship. Until the supreme court took an opposite view, it was contenced by some that the Foraker act of 1900 made the people of Porto Rico citizens of the United States, but, while no longer citizens of Spain, Porto Ricans, in the dictumi of Chief Justice Fuller, have been’ without any national citi- zenship, “‘like a disembodied ghade in an intermediate state of ambiguous existence, (The United States hag ex beneficent protectorate = gver Porto Rico as well as Cuba and cannot at this late day afford:to have jts good faith and influence impugned or marred, so congress will'be warranted in doing whatever is necessary to clear up any ambiguity in the status of Porto Rican citizenship. If the Porto Ricans had not responded in such fine spirit to the new conditions of govern- ment there might be some reason for hesitating to pass the. pending meas- ure, but their avidity in seizing and improving every opportunity offered glves them ample claim upon larger privileges. In business, education, statecraft and social life they have made progress that is almost incred- ible considering their circumstances when the United States relieved them of Spanish rule and the short time that has since elapsed. Both Presidents Roosevelt and Taft have advocated full American citizen- ship for Porto Rico and undoubtedly the sentiment of the American people is reflected in their recommendations | to congress urging this action. Evidently the proof of the tomet's tail was not a bit more distinct than Dr. Cook's records. Perhaps “Uncle. Joe” might regard “Bat” Nelson as a good private secre. tary. They could exchange blows.

The Rock ‘Island today owns and operates more than 8,000 of railroad, the Wabash 2,157 al the Lehigh Valley 1,393, so that the combined mileage would give phy- sical utrength of formidable propor- tions. Add to this the strategic ele- ments of the three roads and the country would have another great transportation system with ' which other lines would have to trea Undoubtedly such a combination would bring advantages and disad- vantages. It would lead to centrali- zation in agencies and traffle grrange- ments.

Steel Cars for Safety . Railroade have been surprisingly slow in adopting all-steel and mail cars. but now the more pro gressive lines have taken the first step, it the time is probably not far off when their use will be general. The Harriman railroads are taking| the lead in this, as they have done in 80 many of the most modern improve- ments in transportation. They have just placed an order for 424 steel pas- senger coaches, which, when delivered, will give that system a total of 02 cars of this type, placing it ahead of the Pennsylvania lines by twenty-five cars. The all-steel car should rapidly be placed in use, not only for pnuuongm's,' but for mail and baggage, for its abil ity to withstand fire and the impacts| of collisions makes it the safest means of travel and transportation for human beings and valuables. No matter what the extra cost of the steel car may be, the rallroads can well afford to make thd investment if it will shut off the frequently recurring wrecks with their appalling toll in human life. The per- son who pays his fare to ride and the traluman who is employed on the rail- road has a right to tue greatest de- gree of safety and protection within the power of the rallway to give and the railway is not exerting its full power in this direction when it sticks to the use of easily destructible and inflammable cars. With all the other | highly modernized facilities for travel, the wonder {is that railroads have not long ago come to this proposition. Omaha as a Terminal Point. Omaha’s strategic position on the| railway map arises from the fact that it affords shippers incomparable facill- ties for terminal and transshipment traffie, While in other commercial centers the railroads found themselves called upon to spend millions upon milions of dollars to secure adequate means of entragce and exit, in Omaha they have an almost natural terminal system provided by configuration of the topog- raphy and the location of the city, which, without forcing, has adjusted itself to the utmost utilization of these advanages. Hardly a city in the country can match Omaha's jobbing district from the standpoint of terminal facilities. This trackage and switching equip- ment is by no means fully perfected, but the foundation is. there awaiting extenglon and development, and these terminal facilities mean more to ship- pers than is usually realized or appre- clatedw In holding out inducements for the location of new jobbing houses, mills and manufacturing establishments Omaha cannot emphasize too greatly its superior terminal facilities, which are the backbone of its strength as a railroad center and market town, Our local democratic contemporary prints an unsigned communication, ap- parently by oversight, giving a vigor- ous left-hander to the men “whose sole province of life seemg to be to hold office.” This is pretty strong for & paper with an editor and chief pro- prietor drawing a salary of $7,500 and perquisites as congressman, whose appetite for office began with an un- successful run for the city council, and even now, still unsatiated, is yearning for the job of United States genator. ‘When Norman Mack asserts in cold print that “it is idle to think of Mr. Bryan as ever again be- ing the party candidate for the presidency,” .the democratic na- tional chairman lays himself open to the charge of harboring a sting of ingratitude. Who made Norman Mack nationel chairman, anyway? And to whom does the democratic party be- Jong if not to Mr. Bryan? The imported champion of the in- jtiative and referendum proves to be a professional lecturer for the Henry George single tax propaganda, who ad- vocates the initiative and referendum merely as a means to that end. We suggested not long ago that the Henry George single tax was still available as the nexi paramount. Over in Jowa the two senators are traversing the state telling the people whom they should select as congres- sional candidates. In Nebraska, where the people rule, Mr. Bryan is the only statesman accustomed to play the role of political dictator in that fashion. The “only heir of George Washing- ton"” says he will prove his claims as soon as he fluds the documents carried to England by John Paul Jone: It it takes him as long to make that dis- covery as it took this country to find Paul Jones' body he will never need the fortune.

She gazed Intently at the display within-- so intently in fact that other women no- ticed her and stopped to see for them- selves what the attraction was. A little group had gathered, when suddenly the first woman turned and hurried into the store with the air of a woman who has made up her’ mind. The others followed fully econvinced that it was a time for special dispateh in bargain buying. “A new way of drawing customers' said an onlooker to a fricnd. “If you watch long enough you will see the original bargain hunter reappear and resume her post at the window, ready for the next bunch of women who are willing to bo shown what to buy."

When the case came up before Judge O'Gorman, that official immediately fol- lowed his usual policy of endeavoring to bring the litigants together whenever pos- sible, thereby making a happy ending to the divorce action, It required but a hint of what the alterna- tive might be to the defendant to make the latter think serfously of the suggestion, and even that was emphasized when Judge O'Gorman granted Mrs. Allitzhauser a monthly allowance of $100 and postponed further hearing indefinitely in the hope of a reconcillation between the two people.

There is an old saying, “A man should not shoot at a pond to hit a duck.” The chief trouble with many advertising campaigns is that they try to cover too much territory with their advertiging and to spread the money, which they have to spend, so thin that the advertising is pitiably threadbare. They use so small space that they do not make a favorable impression with those who do see their advertisements. It & much better to make the right impression with fewer people than to sueceed in reaching ten times the number of readers and make a poor jmpression with all of them. The number of people that you succeed in convincing 1s the final test of the suc- cess of your advertising, after all. When you are selling a customer you have a way of telling things about your goods, the points of superiority, how they are made or why they have style; you tell it to him with a certain pride and enthuslasm which, if you can only transfer to ink and paper, would be the best kind of advertising copy.
