COLORADO VS..
CALIFORNIA

Six weeks spent in California and
travelling over the northwest con-
vinced R. P. Davie more than ever of
the worth of Colorado, both from a
business standpoint and as a residence
place. ''You can say what you want
about the climate of California and
its resources, said Mr.. Davie, but L
want to go on record rs saying there
is nothing on the coast to compare with
Colorado, and that is what everybody
who has once lived here and gone
there thinks. l saw number of for
mer Colorado Springs people in Cali
fornia and the feeling that Colorado
excels any other state is quite
general"
Mr.. Davie, while away, took in
the entire northwest, and went out to
Boise, Idaho, TO inquire into the
Thunder Mountain district and its
prospects.
'It is very evident that Thunder
Mountain is not poor mans camp, p"
said Mr.. Davie. I did not go any
further into the country than Boise
because there was no way of making
the trip, but learned that Thunder
Mountain is low grade camp, re-
quiring big stamp mills and large
expenditure of money to make it a
paying proposition. 1t is not camp
for man of moderate means, and
only rich men can go in there, |
should say.
Everywhere that 1 travelled l
found Colorado well spoken of and l
I investigated conditions in all the
| coast cities and at points between
here and there. After looking care
fully into the real estate situation !
have come to the conclusion that
values are not any too high in Colo
RADIO Springs. In fact, | feel more
confident than ever of the worth of
this place. ''-Colorado Springs Tele-

THE LAW LAID DOWN

When fellow walks out with two
girls he usually endeavors to show as
little partiality as possible-and so
takes his place between them. A trio
like that looks like a two-layer jelly
cake: bit of soft stuff between two
sweet substances. The position is a
very ill-bred one-very impolite and
ill-chosen. The boy or the man
should have the two girls at his right
Thanksgiving no attention to the
outside of the walk-and never
change the relative position no matter
how many times the street is crossed
Now, let the boys and girls who
parade the street take heed and con-
duct themselves correctly-for this is
absolutely the correct thing and has
been for a number of years.

Now people can get the water from
the pipe and do not have to dip into

There was good supply of tin cups

"THE UNITED STATES ARE"
President Roosevelt Lends His Weight
to the Plural Verb.
DafroIf Erea Press


President Roosevelt's use OF the UNITED
States" in the plural has reopened the an
Client discussion as to whether "the United
States are or ''the United States is" The
house committee on the revision OF the
laws has decided that "the United States
is" but the gentlemen that framed the con-
stitution thought 1.-The United States are"
and previous to the civil war the United
States were seldom referred to in state
papers except with a plural verb. Many OF
the Industrious polemics who insist on the
use OF the singular verb have endeavored
TO base their case on the results Of the
war. Previous to the war, they argue, the
nation was a league Of sovereign states.
The war determined that the nation was in
Invisible, and hence 1.-The United States is"
Perhaps It is largely a matter Of taste,
but we think the old form is the better
form. "These United States are" The su-
preme court has affirmed IL IA the insular
cases by declaring that the constitution
does not extend Of its own vigor over ter
ritory owned by the United States. The
constitution is still a compact among the
states, but a compact that cannot be
broken except by force Of arms. For all
that. there are plenty Of state rights left.
Some political ~demagogues made this highly
interesting discovery only recently, when
they purposed to have congress take pos

Pennsylvania. They ascertained that con-
gress has no authority to purchase Land

TEE NEXT SPEAKER.

The election Of a new house Of rep
resentatives and the retirement of
Speaker Henderson makes pertinent
consideration Of the speakership for
which there are already several avowed
aspirants. New York has one In Repre-
sentative Payne. who Is chairman of
the ways and means committee. He is
dean of the New York delegation and,
It is believed, will have the support of
all the republican representatives from
that state IL lie enters the field &C
lively. Mr.. Payne attained prominence
as a floor leader and would undoubtedly
make a good presiding officer. Mr..
Dalzell of Pennsylvania will, it is said,
nave the support Of all the republicans
from that state. He mas had long ex-
perlence in congress, is a man of marked
ability and unquestionably is well
equipped for the duties of the speaker
ship. There has been some talk of Mr..
Little6eld of Maine, but 1t is now un-
derstood that he is not a candidate,
although he may have ONE votes should
he seek the position.
The speakership, however, by rights
belongs to the west. 1t is in the west
that the significant results have been
obtained In the election just held. The
republican gains have been made for
the most part in the western states,
while the republican losses have been
- A. NH @aNwNNn~
speaker Is a western man, elected as a
concession Of the valid claims of the
west to the position and his succession
should also be accorded to one Of the
western representatives.
While several western men have been
suggested for the place, among them
Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsin, who Is
chairman of the republican national con-
gressional committee, Mr.. Tawney Of
Minnesota, a forceful and experienced
member, and Mr.. Cannon of Illinois,
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations and one of the veterans of the
house in length Of service. any n of
whom would be a credit to the house
in the speakers chair. But Mr.. Can
non is the logical and most deserving
candidate and ought to have the united
support of all western members. No II
familiar with public men needs to be
told that MI. Cannon is fully qualified
for the speakership. He is thoroughly
equipped with a knowledge of parlia-
mentary practices. He is blunt, plain
spoken and characteristic Of western
push and energy.
We believe the republican members
elect from Nebraska to the Fifty-eighth
congress should take the initiative In
rendering their support to Hon. Joseph
G. Cannon Of Illinois as the preferred
candidate of the west in recognition of
his interest in this state, with which he
has identified himself by many property
investments, as we'll as in acknowl-
edgment of the sterling qualities that
make him the natural leader Of the
house. Such action by the Nebraska
delegation at this time would do much
to solidify the western representatives
behind the candidacy of Mr.. Cannon.
BY his election as speaker the proper
recognition of the interests and claims of
the great western commonwealths from
the Mississippi valley to the Pacific
coast would be insured.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

No issue has ever been settled unless
1t has been settled right. The Bee does
not belong to that class of weathercock
newspapers that advocate reforms be-
fore election and drop them Immediately
after election.
Hereafter, as heretofore, 1t will con-
tinue to battle for tax reform through
q revision of the evenue laws that will
make it impossible for railroad c rpora-
tons or any other class Of property
owners to evade their just share of the
burden of local and state taxation.
1t will continue to advocate home rule
in It's broadcast sense through a revision
Of the charter and constitution that will
permit a consolidation of the city and
county governments. in part or as a
whole, in the near future. There is no
more reason why Omaha and Douglas
county should nave separate tax gather
there is for separate treasurers for the
Board of Education and the city of
Omaha.
There is no good reason why there
should be any discrimination in the gov
ernments of the police and fire depart
ments of Omaha from those of South
Omaha, Lincoln and other towns in the
state Of Nebraska. Conceding that the
city of Omaha requires a special board
or commission to manage the fire and
police departments and exercise the
power Of licensing the liquor traffic,
there is no good reason why such boards
should be appointed by the governor and
responsible to and removable by only
the governor, while all other municipal
officers are subject either to the people
directly, to the mayor and council or to
the courts.
1t was charged recently by Governor
Savage that $500 was offered to him
as a consideration If he would allow GER
tain parties to name the members of the
fire and police commission Of Omaha.
Whether this assertion is based on fact
or not, it is suggestive of what might
be lone under the present system. An
elective Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners could not be secured by such
means.
The recent primary scandals have I'M
phasized the imperative necessity OF ma
terial changes in the primary election
law that will prevent promiscuOus vot-
ing on perjured affidavits and other
practices that tend to destroy the I'M
trammeled expression of majorities at
primary elections, either by the coercion
Of wage workers or the d~isfranchise-
ment of voters through arbitrary appor-
tionments of delegates to conventions.
Reform is imperatively demanded in
the handling and disbursement of trust
funds in the hands of public officers. The
farming out of public money for private
gain, or the speculation in trust funds
for private gain, should be made a crime
and every safeguard should be provided
to prevent such practices on the part of
custodians of public moneys, whether
state, county or city treasurers oil court
officers.
In urging these reforms The Bee feels
sure that it voices the overwhelming
sentiment OF the ta%x-paying citizens of
Nebraska, and especially OF the citizens
of Omaha and Douglas county, regard
less of party.

AeRroULTUBAL STATISTICS.

1t is certainly important that the sta
tistics of agricultural production should
be as nearly accurate as possible. Every
body interested in the matter is aware
of the fact that these statistics are as
a rule very far from being accurate
and this fact has been conspicuously
brought out by the wide discrepancy
between the figures Of the Department
of Agriculture and those Of the census
Office. The difference is so marked as
to have led to a controversy respecting
the trustworthiness of the statistics of
both. the general inclination apparently
being to regard the census figures as
being the more nearly accurate. This
view is of course stoutly combated by
the statistician of the department.
This controversy will not be altogether
futile II. it shall lead to devising some
better and surer method Of obtaining
agricultural statistics than is now in
practice. This is certainly possible and
should be lone even If 1t -equire double
the expense at wbiln these statistics
are now obtained. They do this work
better in European countries than 1t is
done here and we might learn some
thing from foreigners in this matter.
Better no statistics than such as are
misleading,

During the last fiscal year the United
