MORE LIaHr--LEsS HEAT.


The paramount issues OF the campaign
are equitable taxation, municipal own
ership and home rule. While the can
dldates Of all parties stand on platforms
pledging them to favor municipal own
ershlp and equitable taxation, the tax
payers must take these promises and
pledges for what they are worth. The
pressing need of the hour is more light
and less heat.
The men who are vitality concerned in
the growth and prosperity Of Omaha
should divest themselves as far as pos
sible OF factioral and partisan preju-
dice and bitterness in determining for
themselves and for the whole commun-
lty where they should put their trust.
Until the law Of g%ravltation is abro-
gated, the stream will never rise above
its source. Political candidates are
rarely above the level of the common
mass that constitutes their party.
In the present municipal campaign
the rank and file of the republican party
is represented by Frank E. Moores and
the rank and file of democracy by Il.
Il. Howell, and one of these two men
will be the next mayor Of Omaha. The
intrusion of the pseudo-popullst candi
date is q diversion gotten up in the in
terest Of the democratic candidate,
backed by the corporations. That fact
Is manifest to all intelligent observers.
No noun of noise and vituperation
car deceive anyone conversant with the
situation that Benson has not a ghost OF
q chance Of election. As a pretended
popullst Benson has no following and no
petition candidate was ever elected In
Omaha or is likely to be in the year
1903.
The ~level-headed taxpayer, whether
he be a real estate owner, a manufac-
turer, q merchant or a wageworker
should PROFOUND to himself these ques-
tons:
1. Is there any hope or chance for
municipal ownership under a mayor
who is in advance m~ortgaged to the
franchised corporations?
2. Is there any prospect OF equitable
taxation from a Board of Review die
tated by the corporations?
3. Is there any hope for local self
government from an administration
dominated by alien corporations?
4. Are the taxpayers and property
owners Of Omaha willing to sacrifice
and lose all they have fought for during
the past two years to crafty fractional
spite and personal dislike? Are they
willing to cut off their noses to spite
their faces?

THE HILYER COMMISSION.

About the middle Of next month the
commission appointed by President
Roosevelt to go to Europe with a view
to interesting the governments in the
question of arranging a policy Of ex-
change between silver and gold will
take its departure. The Importance Of
this movement is perhaps not generally
appreciated. 1t means a change of con-
ditions in the financial world that will
have eTectH of a ~far-reaching nature and
may result in absolutely altering the
relative financial powers of the two con-
tinents. 1t is by no means improbable
that as an outcome of the financial tran
sactions that will result from what is
now pending, the city of New York
rather than London will become the
financial center of the world and the
great arbiter of the value Of exchange,
as London has beer for centuries.
There is very good reason for believ-
ing that this will he the case. As mat
tiers now stand there is no question that
! New York is the commanding influence
in the stock markets Of the world. In
| every mart the course Of the Wall street
market is the barometer by which every
other market is Influenced and deter,
mined. At London, at Berlin and at Paris
the quotations OF the New York Stock
exchange are a controlling factor. They
determine values and dictate the course
Of speculation. Whatever is done in
Wall street furnishes the cue for what
is TO be done abroad and there is never
a day that the influence of the New
York market is not felt.
It is in this respect that the silver
commission will find in its foreign in
Quiry a promising chance of accomplish
ing what IL aims at. This, 1t should b'
understood, is not the rehabilitation Of
silver, but rather the strengthening OF
the gold standard. The purpose In view
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-19

even by the Mexican government. is
not TO put silver money to the front,
but to steady its currency by making
Its silver coin still more subject to the
authority Of gold as the standard Of the
commercial world. The policy even Of
Mexico and also Of China is to get into
concert with the gold standard coun-
tries, that being manifestly the only
way in which the progress and pros
perity Of those countries, tndustrially
and commercially, can be advanced.
The commission appointed by Presl-
dent Roosevelt IS composed of men who
are thoroughly familiar with the subject
and who can be depended upon to pre-
sent it to the European governments in
a thoroughly intelligent manner There
Is good reason to believe that the re-
suit will be entirely satisfactory.

In appointing Bishop Montgomery, coad-

Presbyterian church Sal. 200, an Episcopal
church S21, 900, a Baptist church $4,000 and
a Methodist church $1,000. Those are big
figures. but they represent only a small
part Of the aggregate contributions at
Easter services, and in most instances the
object was to wipe out mortgages. Mort
cages are not mentioned by any Of the
apostles or early fathers Of the church.
Springfield Republican: Protestant Eng
land seems to regard without disfavor King
Edwards approaching call upon the pope
at the Vatican. Time was when such an
act by an English monarch would have been
impossible and that time does not date
far back. But everyone now sees the rea-
sonableness Of the proposed visit. King
Edward, although himself oath-bound to a
certain Protestant church, has millions OF
Roman Catholic subjects. The call Will
tend to appease those persons, who natur-
ally felt outraged by the language Of the
coronation oath.

pENsoN-.THE BUSINESS MAN.

Erastus A. Benson has been presented
to the citizens Of Omaha as a candidate
for mayor on the ground that Omaha
needs n business administration by a
successful business man. Up to date,
however, the Benson boomers have not
specified what enterprise Mr.. Benson
has ever conducted successfully and
when and where he earned the reputa-
ton of n successful business man.
Mr.. Benson has lived in Omaha about
fifteen years and during that period he
has been Identified with various prof.
ects and business concerns. His intro
duction into Omaha was that Of a
promoter and real estate boomer and In
that capacity he was associated with
the somewhat notorious firm Of G. E.
Mayne & Co., which after a great
splurge collapsed like a balloon and left
several hundred wrecks as the natural
product of its work and operations.
Mr.. Benson was a stakeholder and
director in the Nebraska Savings bank,
which concern also collapsed, leaving
a very large amount of wreckage. If
memory serves US right, Mr.. Benson
was a stakeholder and director in the
Consolidated Coffee company, and that
e%nterprising firm also shared the fate
of the Nebraska Savings bank, and still
another bank with which Mr.. Benson
was identified. Mr.. Benson's connec
ton with other defunct enterprises does
not warrant the claims made for him
as a successful business man, but
rather the contrary.
Whether these repeated failures and
the frequent miscarriage Of his plans
may all be %chargeable to n lack of bust.
ness qualifications or lack Of integrity
on the part of his associates is yet q
mystery. Whatever may have been the
cause, Mr.. Benson can scarcely be
pointed out as one of the successful
business men of Omaha. Incidentally
we may be pardoned also for express.
ing the doubt as to whether Mr.. Ben.
son would, If elected as mayor, give
Omaha any more successful business
administration than he has given tC
private enterprises that have aourished
and passed away.

THE GRINDING PROCESS.
Training Of the Present Day Toward
Self-RepressiOn.


St Louis Republic.
In this day Of common motive and COM
bined activity the individual seems to be
at a discount, comparatively insignificant
beside the great purpose and progression
OF which he is e part. He is a mere bit OF
machinery rather than a complete, individ-
ual engine. Apart, by himself, he is OF
small moment; 1t is only his strength as a
unit In the collective whole that counts.
To be an effective factor he must sink In
dividuality. The whole training OF the
present day is toward self-repression, and
this is as It should be. 1t is somewhat
anomalous that self-repression makes for
character. 1t does, Just as self-denial makes
for power, Just as mute, unquestioning
service makes for generalship, ability TO
direct. Thus, instead OF ch%eapenlng man
hood the present day business life gives
It coordination, fiber and tone. 1t is a
refining yet a strengthening process. 1t is
a more even yet a more potent and effective
life that we lead these days. 1t is con-
certed effort and common enterprise, grad
ual, sure. continuous; as against q riotous
individuality OF former times, sporadic, full
Of mistakes, uncertain. 1t is the difference
between trained energy and misdirection
concentration and waste. Finely tempered
and powerful individuality brings success
today no less than formerly. Perhaps the
road is a little longer now, but achieve
ments are more substantial and enduring.
On the whole, there Is no good reason for
the man OF today to despair because he IL
ground down" II he has the intrinsic
merit, the grinding will develop Vt. II he
lacks 1t, he is perhaps even better of q:
a factor in the big machiDery than he
would be in independent action.
