THE RArrrn 1s on

The battle royal between the allied
corporations and the people of Omaha
Is on. Five members Of the city coun-
ell. including its president, have been
captured and made voluntary prisoners
by the franchised corporations. These
councilmen are the identical council
combine Of five who stood self-con-
fessed as chattels Of the corporations
when they lowered the assessment of
the franchised corporations made by the
tax commissioner and slammed the
doors In the faces of the attorney and
members Of the Real Estate exchange.
who appeared before them to plead for
equitable taxation.
The conspiracy to break the quorum
and prevent a regular session of the
city council was Matched in the offices

Thomson-Houston Electric. Lighting
company. Why the local manager Of
the Milwaukee railroad should lend
himself to such high-handed work is
not apparent, but in his dual capacity
as manager of the electric lighting com.
pany his undoubted object is to thwart
the popular demand for municipal own
ership and prevent the submission Of
the bond proposition prepared by the
city attorney for the acquisition or
construction Of a municipal electric
lighting plant.
A more .high-handed and s~candaIous
proceeding has not been witnessed
In Omaha since the Holly water
works boodlers were o~verthrown
by the spontaneous uprising of its citi-
zens. 1t seems incredible that any man.

interests would countenance, much less

In the annals OF Nebraska this DELHI
crate attempt to strangle local govern

the successful abduction by the paid
railroad lobby OF a member Of the state
senate while that body was in regular
session In 1893 That high crime against
the state was n OF the prime causes
or the popular revolt against railroad
rule and the victory for populism in the
following year.
That the citizens Of Omaha who do
not YET wear corporate manacles will

doubted The majority OF the present

THE CANDIDACY OF JOHN a. WEsrsEBc

THE CANDIDACY OF JOHN ". WESTBERG.
THE only safety for municipal cor
porations is to make frequent changes of
their auditors" That is the conclusion
of Herbert Spencer, the foremost polit-
ical scientist Of modern times. But John
N. Westberg, who has now served three
terms as comptroller of Omaha, differs
most radically with Herbert Spencer.
He proclaims the opposite doctrine and
has gone so far as to declare that the
people Of Omaha need him more than he
needs the people Of Omaha.
John NJ. Westberg is not a man to hide
his light under a bushel.- For years he
has managed to keep himself before the
people by explosive self-Iaudation, not
in keeping with his record either as a
business a or as a city comptroller.
Had he been content to pursue the even
tenor Of his way and attended strictly
to his own business instead Of trying
to run the whole city government The
Bee might have been spared the painful
duty Of turning the searchlight upon his
business career, and his lack Of sobriety,
which is doubtless responsible for the
vile language and profanity that char
acterizes nearly all his talk.
Mr.. Westberg boasts that he is the
watchdog Of the city treasury. AS a
matter of fact the duties devolving on
him have been performed by two depu-
ties and several clerks, while he has
been prancing up and down the streets
Of Omaha and running from saloon to
saloon. Mr.. Westberg's excuse for his
scaly business record is bad luck and
lack Of ability to meet his just obliga-
tons. This plea is fatty e~ontradicted
by the fact that he is engaged in vari-
Gus speculations in mining claims and
petroleum lands and enterprises that
must have absorbed a part Of his in.
come.
But even If the statute of limitations
had run against all his honest debts and
every hour of his time had been devoted
to the duties of his Office, John N. West
berg has barred himself from the sup
port Of the taxpaying citizens by his
manipulation of the charter by which
the salary of the comptroller has been
raised $1,000 a year, his bond is to be
paid by the city and all limitations as to
the expense of the comptroller's office
for clerical hire have been removed so
as to leave him full swing to hire AZ
many additional clerks as he pleases at
whatever salary he pleases, while he
can devote his time to speculative enter
prises, Junkets to Wyoming and Colo.
RADIO, with unlimited time for duck
hunting, fishing and other sports at the
taxpayers expense.

TEE SPRING ELECTIONS.

The elections just held, insofar as
they are Indicative of political condi-
tons, give cause for republican salts
faction. In most Of the municipal con-
tests, Of course, local issues were para
mount, so that the results are not con-
elusive as to the attitude of a majority
Of the voters In these communities in
regard to national questions, but 1t APP
pears that republican gains were more
numerous than democratic. In the
Cleveland election the democratic vic
tory was due wholly to local questions.
Mayor johnson made the issue a g.
cent fare on the street railroads and the
wards filled with workingmen gave in
creased majorities for johnson. Local
questions were also in a great degree
responsible for the reelection of Carter
Harrison, though by a considerably re-
duced plurality. In Cincinnati the con-
test was more of a party nature and the
republicans were successful. Perhaps
the most instructive result was the de-
cisive victory of the republicans : in
Michigan, viewed in its general bearing
upon the strength Of parties.
There is of course no good reason why
in the country at large the republican
party should not be as strong now as
it was at the last presidential election.
The country is as prosperous now as
it was then, labor is as fully employed
and receiving better wages and every
thing we are producing finds a ready
market. The policies which the people
overwhelmingly approved in 1900 have
not been changed and a republican con-
gress has fulfilled, as far as it was
deemed wise and practicable to do at
this time, the promise of the party in
regard to the great combinations. The
outlook for a continuance Of prosperity
is most favorable. In view of these
things even larger republican gains
than noted in the elections might rea-
sonably have been expected. At any
rate 1t is shown that the party is main
tanning its strength and will doubtless
go into neat. years campaign with
strong assurance Of success.

ANOTHER SAMPLE OF SHAM REFORM.

SAMPLE OF SHAM REFORM.
On the night of Friday, April 3.
Robert j. Walker, a western stockman,
was shot in Garrity's saloon in the pro-
scribed district. Walker died the next
day n a c%Oroner's jury after Que in
v~estigation brought in a verdict that
walker came to his death from a pistol
shot fired by Patrick Henry Jackson.
Detailed accounts of the shooting
were published in all the Omaha dailies
and members of the Broatch sham re-
form police commission could not pos
sibly have been ignorant of the murder,
but no action whatever was taken by
the police board or any of its members
to close the resort temporarily or per
manently. The Clarity saloon is notO-
riously known to the police and must
be known to w. ]. Broatch as a tough
joint patronized by degraded men and
women of all colors.
This dive was allowed to run day and
night ever since the crime was perpe-
trated, while saloons in respectable To-
c%alities, and notably the Prague hotel
on Thirteenth street, where d~isorderly
people are never permitted to enter.
were singled out last Sunday and closed
by special order Of William J.. Broatch.
The Clarity groggery, p~atronized only
by disorderly people, where a murder
had been committed just two days pre-
vious, was allowed to run full blast
with its dlurnal orgy without molesta-
ton.
This is a fair sample of what they
call ~anti-machine reform.

GROWTH OF THE CoFTBB HABIT.
Enormous Crops Drives Prices 20 the
Lowest ON ReeOEd-
New York World.

LoWehN ON FteGoEus
New York World.
The fall Of the price of coffee In the New
York market to the lowest point on record,
due to q heavy Brazilian crop coming upon
the heels of enormous importation last
year, calls attention to the surprising
growth Of the coffee habit r.,
In 1909 for the first time in our history
we imported more than 1000, 900, 900 pounds
Of coffee, at a bulk cost Of more than $780,
900, 900 and a probable retail price to Gus
toners Of nearly three times that sum.
This was q supply Of nearly twenty pounds,
at a retail cost Of about 81, for every per-
son in the United States above 10 yearst
OF age; II indicates q use which has quadN
rupled in one generation and is now almost
universal.
In the source Of supply great changes
have taken place. When "kAuphy'' was
first drum in London 1t came undoubtedly
from Arabia, which remained the sole
source Of supply up to about 100 A. d.
Today our Java n Mocha mixed" proba-
bly, never saw lava and most assuredly
never saw Mocha Brazil alone gave US IS
per cent OF our 1902 supply, and Mexico,
the West Indies and other Central and
South American countries 10 per cent. The
East indies supply about 1 per cent and
other Asia and Oceanica," including
Arabia, the home Of the coffee cult, furnish
only / pound in 256. The Greek monks on
the Isthmus OF Sinai themselves drink Bra
lillian coffee, so complete is the "Ameri-
can invasion" OF the worlds market Of the
fragrant brown berry.

USEFULNESS OF "a BIG STICK"
A strong Navy Only of the Elements
of American Greatness.
Washington Post

Washington Post
Speak Roftly and carry a big stickj you
will go far" The president quoted this
old adage at Chicago the other night in
connection with our naval policy and the
Monroe doctrine. 'If the American ma
tion," he said, will speak softly and yet
build and keep at a pitch Of the highest
training a thoroughly efficient navy. the
Monroe doctrine will go far That doc
trine," he added, "is not international law,
and though 1 think one day It may become
such, this is not necessary as long as It re-
mains a cardinal feature Of our foreign poll
icy and as long as we possess both the will
and the strength to make It effective"
It is advisable, for many reasons, to have
"a thoroughly efficient navy" and that
seems to be the settled purpose of the
American people. Since the work Of con-
structing modern ships was begun under
President Arthur and Secretary Chandler
by the building Of Chicago, Boston, At
lanta and Dolphin, there has been no halt
ing. We have gone as fast and as far as we
should in that space Of time, and we shall
move steadily forward. The nation that
would have a good navy must not pause in
construction and remodeling. 1t is one OF
the most expensive of ali national necessi-
~ TO- hOmbNNAH AC9b GApbuoANo II
safer to keep a navy strong and efficient
all the time than to let 1t fall of from con-
cert pitch and bring 1t up again in an
emergency.
But the bigness OF our big stick" con-
sists less in fighting apparatus and fighting
men, essential as they are, than in other
elements Of greatness that have given this
republic its indisputable primacy in the
family Of nations. Our material resources
and our ability to make the best use Of
them, coupled with our traditional policy of
fair treatment of all countries, make us
strong alike In war and peace. There are
few spectacles more absurd and, to the
moralist, more pitiful than that Of a ma
ton with third class resources posing as a
power and maintaining a com
paratively strong navy by the most cruelty
oppressive taxation. The latent power of
the United States. its known ability to raise
and equip armies and to buy or, build ships
and gun at short notice, is the greatest
factor in our defenses.
