That is good sense and therefore good law.

But never has luck been so gemerous to “Jim" as right now in his run for a fourth term in the city hall. In the preliminary heat of the handieap race he corralled twice as many votes as any outside competitor, and all he has to do to make sure of his cinch is to hold them for the election. Despairing of getting ‘‘Jim,"” the antis have, in fact, conceded him his place by | putting only six on their slate when seven placos are to be filled, and the uncontested place is of course “Jim's.” Paraphrasing the great poet, “Some people are born lucky, some achieve luck, and some have luck thrust upon them,” and “Lucky Jim" belongs to all three classes at one and the same time. —— Befogging the Issue with Words, The dispute that has arisen between John D. Rockefeller, jr., and Frank Walsh, chairman of the Industrial Relations commission, is not within the contemplated scope of the inquiry to be made by that commission. When the commis- sion was provided for, during the Iast year of President Taft's term, {t wag intended to make some determination as to certain facts, to ba developed if possible, concerning the causes for social unrest, especially as pertaining to what s broadly referred to as ‘industrial relations.” This naturally comprehends strikes of labor, and includes an inquiry into their causes and adjustment. In the present case, it has been established that Mr, Rockefeller was cognizant of the strike at the Colorado coal mines and that he had given his support to the course pur- sued by the managers of the mines in which he is Interested as owner. After that fact bad been developed, the course pursued by Mr. Walsh has been such as might admit of suspicion that he is endeavoring to turn the Inquiry away from its original pur- pose and into political channels. Mr. Rockefeller, by reason of his latest statements, is equally open to a charge of trying to maintain his posi- tion as chief philanthropist of the day, in spite of the record of the mine “‘war” in Colorado. Neither of these ends was jn view when the commission was finally formed and et upon its lavors. Much that is inconsequent, so far as true in- dustrial relations are concerned, is being dis- cussed, and in such a way that the true fssue is being befogged in words of no value. The public is not especially Interested in the relations of Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Walsh, one to tha other, but it does want to know some of the fundamental facts concerning the conditions of life in the United States, which the commission might develop if it stuck close to the plan on which it was formed. g E——— Into Central South Dakota.

The grain and live stock of that region needs access to & beétter market than is now open, & market at Omaba will afford. Omaha merchants hould be able to enter this region, now domi- pated by Chicago and Minneapolis, on muca better terms than is now possible. It is a mar- ket that rightfully belongs here, but from which we are shut out by the lack of a direct line tc the north, a project long mogted, often prom- ised, but never realized. Here is a good place for the Commercial club to do some needod work. effort, that further improvement may In this connection, The Bee ventures to renew its suggestion of several years ago, that steps be taken to acquire for the public the bit ot woodland just at the southeast of town. known as Fontenelle forest. This is the last remaining bit of natural woodland in the vieinity of Omaha, and is per- haps the most extensive in the state. At any rate, it has been referred to by competent authorities as being the most characteristic, in that it contains the most representative growth of forest trees indigenous to the region. For this and for other reasons, it should not be al- lowed to fall, as it may, under the march of bullding. It is a most appropriate site for a park and as such should be preserved. On May 22 the Nebraska Academy of Sclences proposes to hold a session at this woods.

THE BEE: R T T e Aimed at Omaha Nebraska City Press: Omaha's Board of Educa tion refused to sanction a “grand ball” with trim- mings at a big hotel for high school student~ and the students are aroused to a High Pitch. What is the world coming to, anyway, when adults, who are sup- posed to have learned from experience, refuse 1o bow to the orders of their progeny? Columbus Telegram: It was gratifying to the eoun- try editors to note the changed tone of the commercial interests in the metropolis of our state. For many years the country press has urfed intelligent im- provement of the Missouri r'sor, so that the farmers of the state might be relieved from the burden of oppressive rallroad charges, but until recently the metropolitans always recelved such suggestions with a laugh, being themselves under bondage so often to the great combinations of capital controlling the transportation lines. The Telegram congratulates | Omaha upon mow having as head of its Commercial club a man with sufficient intelligence to see the benefit which would come to his state by making the great river a carrier of Nebraska produce to the sea. We rejoloce that the head of that Commercial club also has the courage to employ plain language in dealing with a problem which When solved will make Omaha the metropolis of all the vast domain between the Mississippi river and the Golden Gate. Friend Sentinel: A very few of the Nebraska newspaper men and printers, once printers and would-be printers met in Omaha and enjoyed tho hospitality of the good people of that eity. They also talked “shop”” to some extent. It ia splendid to get together and talk shop, but it is not so splendid to have some of the “boys,” who do the most talk- ing at the meeting, go home and try to work the other fellow’s territory for job printing. Fremont Tribune: Inmnh- in acting as host to the editors of Nebraska during the last week showed them as fine a time as anybody ever enjoyed away from home. Not for a single moment was the pleas- ure of the guests forgotten. There were courtesies of every kind showered upon the visftors. A new $1,000,000 hotel was built since the association met in Omabha last, that the character of the editorial pre- fession might be properly maintained by the appro- priate entertainment of the editors. On all sides there were new ovidences of the rapld development of the city, which has not yet fairly entered upon its certain growth to real metropolitan proportions. Omaha is destined to greatness that those can best understand who get it In perspective. The editors of Nebraska are doing that. York Times: An Omaha woman wants $50,000 for an alleged stolen kiss. What, a war price? Kearney Hub: Jim Dahlman at Omaha and Charley Bryan at Lincoln are in the limelight good and strong again, one a candidate for mayor of Omaha and the other a candidate for mayor of Lin- coln. Men may come and men may go, but these two statesmen have apparently ‘‘come to stay.’” Beatrice Express: On the quief, Omaha is a crystal gaser. It can see far enough in the future to know that a gathering of the state editors within its borders means more advertising than the average town gets in a year, and, therefore, it has every roason for treating the scribes very pleasantly, Nebraska City Press: Nebraska editors will prob- ably have a great deal to say about the hospitaliy of Omaha in & few days. And there will be no hidden meaning in their expressions of satisfaction. Omaha hae again come to the front as a city of hospitality, It is doubtful if any convention of Nebraska busi- mess or professional men was ever better entertained than were the newspaper men during tne early part of this week. Omaha has again demonstrated that secession from the state, as was claimed Tor it by tts numerous enemies at one time, is not uppermost ‘n its mind. Ideal Fishing Holes. A young woman who had returned from a tour through Italy with her father informed a friend that she liked all the Itallan cities, but most of all she loved Venice. % “Ah, Venice, to be sure,” eaid the friend. "I can readily understand that your father would like Venice, Wwith the gondolas and Bt. Mark’s and Michael Angelo."” YOh, no," the young woman Interrupted. *It wasn't that. He liked it because Me could sit down in the hotel and fish from the window."'—Philadelphia Ledger. Two Rothschild Storles. At the funeral of Baron Lionel do Rot! ila, father of the recently deceased Lord Rothschild, a pdor old man wept loudly and bitterly. “Why are you crying?" inquired a bystander. “You are no relation to Rothschild." “No,"” howled the mourner, “that's just why 1'm Paris He gave the “Ah, Baron, your son, Baron Alphonse, always &ives me five times as much,” sald the man. “I don't doubt it growled the old Baron; “he has a rich father!"—New York Times. Passing On. A Sunday school teacher, after conducting a les- son on the story of Jacob's ladder, concluded by say- ing: “Now, is there any little girl or boy who would like to ask & question about the lesson?" Little Susie looked pussied for a moment, and then raised her hand. “A question, Susie?" asked the teacher, “I would like to know,” sald Busie, “if the angels have wings, why did they have to climb.up the lad- der™™ The teacher thought for some moments, and then, looking about the class, asked: “‘Is there any little boy who would like to answer question?'—Everybody’s Magazine. People and Events New England towns are the latest to oatch the jitney fever. Springfield and Worcester traction peo- ple regard the affliction as robbery. Samuel Untermyer, the eminent trust buster, knows when to strike the enemy iu the right spot. Wall street reports that he cleaned up $2,000,000 on Bethle- hem Steel. Friends of Congressman James R. Mann of Chi- Cago are projecting his name on the presidential screen, subject to the approval of the republican na- tional convention. Plgns to corral the Iliinois dele- gation are under way. A Chicago judge rules that women have a right, unquestioned by law, to pop the question any old time, including leap years. Thus by vocalising their &ood intentions there is less risk of misinterpreting the familiar goo-goo tip. An eccentric Kentuckion who loved his native land 50 well that he acquired 9,000 acres of it, died at the age of 91 the other day. His blue grass acres were his lifelong pride and he used to wander over them barefooted, and he was buried in them.

TILDEN, Neb., April %.~To the Editor of The Bee: Rival armies and navies | mever take a culprit to court and there I8 no aim to attain justice, but instead the ye is set on the lion's share. It is the same savagery as we see in the Jungle, pampas and wild prairies, where the rival beasts pit themselves against one another until one or all the contest- ants are mangled. Only that in the mod- | ern contest science has multiplied the in- dividual ten thousand fold and the real duelists have the power to draft mil- llons of blind peons to make the contest and sacrifice, while these have no i1l will toward each other and the promoters, have their seats exalted and most of them private money Invested in the traffic of arms. Under such action “might is right,” while Belglum and many other small states demonstrate the fallacy that the just cause is bound to win. The only way to control a foreign policy is to do away with it altogether, for as long as ome man or a small group repre- sents a nation there will be destructive war. For each man has personal vanities which he will satisfy—and if it takes the last drop of blood of his blind devotees, and bankrupt the nation, loading a pon- derous debt on the unborn, and robbing the coming generations of the progress this generation should give the world. Duelling must be stamped as barbarous, be it practiced direct, or fought out by so-called subjects. The police of Omaha do not clash with the police of Kansas City, but the two work in conjunction to maintain order, and apprehend eriminals and bring them to justice; this is the only place for an armed force in the Interests” of world peace; this is world citizenship; international jurisdiction; & maritime polica and universal free trade. The nations are but large families, and each day of progress, conditions demand more fraternal intercourse, for no one of Lhese national families can hope to sub- due all the others—and if that could be done it would be destruction in the end. But instead, for one to succeed, the others must all contribute in the spirit of reciprocity, and even more than that, give the other the fuller measure. The mountain feuds of Kentucky, where families have warred for genmerations and in some cases wholly depleted each other, until reason, law, and a higher power took control, is being enacted in Europe, only on a much lagger scale. We muat become world citizens, think in larger terms than ome small nationality, sys- tem or language. The worldwide spirit, universal fraternity, international law, language, custom, instead of savage riv- alry that hurls all the contestants to death. C P L Says He Is Wrongly Placed.

These materials were then comparatively expensive and pro- cesses of refining had not been devised to bring them to the high state of purity of the present- day well known cream of tartar baking powders, such as Royal; and yet she never thought of buying alum, then as now a cheap and inferior substitute for cream of tartar. She wouldn't think of permitting an ounce of alum to enter her kitchen. Yet housekeepers are to-day asked to buy alum baking powders with which to make food for their children. The statement on the label afe fixed to every can naming the ingredients of which the baking powder is composed affords a method of protection againat the use of undesirable kinds.
