Now even grester need for this work is more apparent and more urgent than ever, with the extension of the city to in- clude its suburbs. The general plan should be worked out as speedily as possible, because of | the assistance it will be in planning for public and private improvements that must be made. Another problem that will be up to the city commissioners, and waiting for consideration, is been dealt with in makeshift fashion for many | Some definite plan for the settlement of this im- portant question should be worked out very soon after the new ecommission gets into running order. The Commereial ¢lub should press for the rallroad line into South Dakota direct. Thig is the most fmportant railroad proposition now before the city. It means the opening of a great productive reglon, whose output should have th? advantage of the Omaha market. Interurban lines should not be neglected and many other important projects have been mooted that should not be permitted to languish. Omaha's echedule for the future has many important matters set down, all tending to the growth and betterment of the city, and plenty of work for all in pushing them to a successful onding Waiting for the Official Report. The administration is wisely withholding Judgment on the Gulflight case unfil it is in full possession of the facts; which are not as vet at hand. It couid do nothing else, for reports ro far received consist of statements to the Amer- fean consuls, made by members of the crew of the GulfMght, or come through Mnglish sources. 1t Is not at all likely these will be made any too favorable for the Germans. We may leave it to the president to take action, if any be needed, when he has had both sides of the story from Amerjean sources. The incident is exasperating, but it is hard ta belleve that a German com- mander would deliberately attack the American flag under the circumstances. It is not the only case in which the rights of neutrals have been disregared, nor is Germany the only mation to Offend in this manner. E———— “@enuinely Popular Government.” ‘Two things will have to be done in Nebraska be- fore we can have genulnely popular government, the veto power should be taken away from the governor and the state senate should be abolished. We believe of Nebraska are intelligent enough to send to Lincoln In one body and have them make laws for the peopls, without any brake being the by & smaller that the speolal fnter- more readily buy up, or by a governor wijth to st all their work at naught.—Blair Pllot. The inference is not only that Nebraska does now have “genuinely popular government,” but thet we have never had it, and that no other state {n’ the umion has “gemutnely popular gov- | gh to choose one body of faithful and honest representatives, although not M- telligent enough to choose a second body of law- makers or & governor who will honestly snd faithfully exercise a check on the law-makers. Unfortunately, if we are not to have “genuinely popular government in Nebrasks until we abolish one branch of the legislature, and ex- tinguish the veto power of the governor, we are doomed t be enslaved for some time to come, for at best it would take years to alter thede bumic provisions of our constitution. The passage quoted, however, serves to II- lustrate the two widespread lack of clearcut conception of popular government, and the loose talk indulged by those who always find every- thing wrong and nothing right, and demand a change just to have something different. . esterepvem—— China and Japan. Political developments in the far east sug3- gest that China and Japan are just now peril- ously near to war, but the complichtions of the Asiatic governments are likely to get scamt at- tention from the world, so long as Burope occu- | ples the center of the stage.

' This convention and Omada have been resolved into a mutial admiration and benefit so- clety, with the resulting advantages about equally divided Hildreth Telescope: The Commaercial club of Omabe certainly scored a ten-strike when it seoured E. V. Parrish as manager of its bureati of publicity and promotion. Mr. Parrish is certainly & live wire. He may occasionally eat, but we feel sure he never slesps. To him is largely due the fact that the fesl- ing of antagonism to Nebraska's metropolis which was prevalent out in the state {or sy many years has been replaced by the kindliest of feelings and best wishes for the suceess of Omaha and her exten- slve enterprises. The interests of Omaha and the rest of the state are identieal and there should be noth- ing but pehce and good will between them. Bmerson Enterprise: We were royally entertained by the Commercinl club of Omaha and heard many aplendid talks about the big eity of Omahe but there was one thing that we could mot help takihg notice of, and that was at the various banquets given in honor of the Nebraska editors: nary a ke bore the mark of an Omaha clgar factory or tmion label. Yet they are boosting for Omaha products.

Omaha was never known to do anything by halves, and when the up- state Db'hoys blister eir feet on the pavements of the metropolis there's always something doing to make them forget the discomfiture.

Little Kisie, aged 5, was quietly playing on the porch one afterncon, while her father uad one of his friends were enjoying a smoke and having a chat on political matters, They pald no attention to the little girl's presence, and Eisie seemed wholly abeorbed in her dolls.
