Washington, July 1O-The president
is being deluged with singly signed
petitions in behalf of the Russian Jews,
and these are forwarded from Oyster
Bay to the state department by every
mail. The petitions are identical and
declare that the action of the United
States government in the case OF the
Roumanian Jews warrants even more
vigorous action in the case OF the Rus
sian Jews, wherefore the president IS
petitioned ito employ the good oflces
Of our government with the Imperial
government of Russia, with the aim
in view to securing more safety to
Jews in Russia. and making their ex-
istence there less wretched."
AS the petitions are directed to the
president alone. no question of trans
mission to Russia is involved, and they
are being filed at the state department.

THE ONLY "A oUT.

Omaha's experience with party pri-
maries just held to nominate officers
who are to administer the city's govern
ment for the text three years affords a
striking object lesson that should not be
lost upon our people. Never in the his
tory Of this or any other city have the
consolidated franchised corporations re-
sorted TO such INSCRIPTIONS and high
banded methods to subjugate the people.
Their brazen attempts at corruption Of
the voters, bribery of their representa-
tives and open violation of the election
laws enacted to safeguard the fountain
head OF self-government has reached
the stage dangerous to free institutions.
The humiliating spectacle we have
recently had Of a city council which
could not even meet with a quorum
without the consent of the manager of
the electric lighting company will be as
nothing as compared with a city govern
ment manned from top to bottom by
creatures Of the corporation dictators,
bought In advance with corporation
Doodle to betray the interests of the tax
payers whenever they come in conflict
with these Odious monopolies.
The only relief in sight from this
menacing condition Of affairs lies in
municipal ownership. The chief objec,
ton that has been urged against mu.
Ricipal ownership is that It will drag the
public utility services into politics, but
it is plain that these public utility serv
ices could not be more in politics thar
they now are and that municipal owner
ship offers the only avenue to get then
out Of politics.
The city has already taken steps to
ward the acquisition OF the water works
but IL must set to work az once for
municipal electric lighting plant tina
win supply the city with it's own stree
illumination and abolish the street light
lag contracts that now constitute tn

Personal NOTES.

Prof. Henry B. Hill, director Of the chem
zeal laboratory at Harvard, died last week.
He wrote many valuable papers on organic
chemistry.
Considering the fact that forty different
languages are spoken in Chicago, 1t was not
particularly surprising that a man named
smulski was elected city attorney.
Judge John NJ. Dickinson, appointed
counsel for the United States before the
Alaska Boundary commission, which will
sit in London next fall. graduated from the
University Of Nashville, the Columbia Law
school and studied international law in
Leipsic and Paris.
The present mayor Of st. Paul, Robert A..
Smith, is just at the end Of a ffty-years'
residence in that city. He went there in
1853, as the private secretary of the terri
torial governor appointed by President
Franklin Pierce. and has seen the place
grow from a hamlet OF a few hundred per-
sons to a city of nearly 100000.
William McAdoo, formerly a congressman
from New Jersey and late assistant secre-
tary Of the navy in the Cleveland admins
~tration, is now a citizen Of New York, where
he has built a iourishing law practice. Dur
ing his congressional career he ranked as
one Of the ablest men on the democratic
side, likewise among the most popular.
A Louisiana doctor who left his arsenal
at home and made a trip north was soundly
thrashed by a Pullman car porter whom lac
undertook to punish for a fancied lack OF
inattention. The irate physician explained
that he left his guns at home at the request
of his wife. and the unfortunate lady will
probably never hear the last Of the unpleas-
ant affair.

A VICIOUS LIBEL BILL.


The newspapers of Pennsylvania are
most vigorously protesting against a
libel bill which has just passed the leg
islature of that state. A Philadelphia
paper characterizes the measure as out
rageous and vicious, saying that it
licenses every starving shyster TO black
mail honorable newspapers and that it
throws the sheltering arm of the law
around criminals. The paper Y
'The bill permits damages by the
wholesale. If a person has been will
fully assailed he can recover. If the
criticism constitutes a libel he can ask
for another sum If large type or car
toOns have been employed to empha-
size 1t. In other words, he can recover
punitive damages. Again If his feelings
have suffered damage-not his reputa-
ton nor his business, but just his or
binary fee~lings-there is a third set
Of damages provided Another journal
says that the proposed law would be a
temptation to irresponsible and unscru-
pulous litigation, that 1t is calculated to
start every shyster from his lair hunt
ing for his prey, that there is not a
newspaper in the state but is liable,
without any fault of it's own, to be-
come the victim of this greedy rapacity.
1t Is perhaps needless to say that the
men who are responsible for this bill
are politicians whose bad records nave
subjected them to severe criticism and
castigadon of the newspapers and
there are many such in the Keystone
state. 1t is a reproach to that COM
monwealth that these men should be
able to put a bill of this character
through its legislature and that there
should be reason to fear that 1t will
be approved by the governor. So bold
an attempt to muzzle the press and to
place 1t at the mercy Of blackmailers
is repugnant to the spirit of the time
and should be impossible in an enlight-
ened community. 1t may be true that
some Of the Pennsylvania newspapers
have at times rome to extremes in their
criticisms of public men, but this can
not Justify legislation that would strike
a serious blow at the liberty of the
press. There is already a libel law in
Pennsylvania which gives full protec-
ton to the citizen who chooses to avail
himself Of it and there appears to be
no need Of anything further. The re.
publican party in Pennsylvania will as.
suredly be injured If the libel bill shall
become law. No party in this country
can strike a blow at the freedom OF
the press without meeting with popular
rebuke.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-13

The republicans Of Omaha have nom
mated a city ticket that merits the sup
port CT citizens and taxpayers Of all
parties. The denomination of Frank Il.
Moores for mayor simply registers the
wish expressed at the republican pri-
maries by the rank and file OF the party.
II is at once an endorsement of the
official record he has made as chief
executive Of the city and n rebukc to
the corporate interests that sought to
compass his defeat by methods reeking
with fraud and corruption. That Frank
L. Moores stands closer to the people
who make up the great mass Of our
population and is looked TO as the pro-
tector and champion Of their rights as
against corporate aggression is plain to
all. The elements that make his
strength are not confined to party lines,
but extend to citizens and taxpayers of
all classes and conditions. Unless all
signs fail, he will be reelected at the
polls by a greater majority han he has
ever had.
The other candidates who have been
named with Mayor MoOres make up
a strong and representative ticket. 1t
recognizes the claims of other city Off
GERS who have served creditably first
terms and are entitled to reelection.
The new men in the running are not
only competent for their respective
offices, but also in good standing as
business men or mechanics, who have
earned the good will and confidence
Of those who know them best. What
is Of equal II not greater Importance,
they are under obligations for their
nominations to no railroad or franchised
corporation but are free to serve the
people for the best interests of the city.

WHOLESOME DEvELOrAENT.
Relations Of the Government and the
Captains Commercial.
Kansas CITY Star.

Nothing could be more grateful and re-
assuring to the country than the statement,
on trustworthy authority, that ]. Pierpont
Morgan is disposed to acquiesce in the de-
cision Of the circuit court Of appeals at
ST. Paul in favor OF the government against
the Northern Securities company. Mr..
Morgan is actually disposed to believe that
the ruling of the court does not mean the
overthrow of railroad enterprise. He even
goes so far as to say that the reverse is
true, and that the decree only anticipates
the opinion that may be expected when the
case reaches the supreme court.
AS Mr.. Morgan seems to be on the side
of the government in this affair, II would
be only a needless afhiction to think what
might have happened II he had organized a
revolt against the decision OF the court and
taken up for the Northern Securities COM
pany. 1t is certainly very good of men like
Morgan and Rockefeller, who have their
hands on so many interests, that they can
make or destroy a great variety of under
takings, to treat the government with re-
spect and consideration. 1t shows a subor-
dination Of power and commercial influence
to patriotism which, it is feared, the COM
mon people do not fully appreciate.
Even Wall street is beginning to awaken
to the fact that there are things which
ought not be lone in this country in tho
name Of the almighty dollar. The Wall
Street Journal has surprised the people by
drawing a distinction between the piratical
Speculators who put stocks and securities
up and down and wreck corporate proper.
ties for their own benefit and those Wal
street operators who stand by the law and
who yield obedience to the government.
This is a remarkable concession, and
taken in connection with the agreement o.
j. PierpOnt Morgan with the court which
has vindicated the right of the government
to prevent oppressive mergers, is significant
of a dawning sentiment that is hopeful IL
the highest degree.
President Roosevelt is the man who car
claim the credit for this welcome develop.

superior to any of its citizens, and the ten

Opposite the amateur observer or elderly

Gus, his rubicund face in the repose OF

II is easily accounted for. New Workers

keeps late hours what with the lheaters
and the suppers afterward and the social
affairs of all sorts.
"If a man could go to bed after the the
ater or the dinner or the party, it would
not be so bad. but he can't; he must travel.
The next hour he spends transferring. BY
the time he has dozed a little in an L

Governor Mickey has t%houghtfully

1t is expected that the curative act
passed by the Legislature relative to the
special assessments levied in Omaha
under the present charter will make all
the assessments since 1897 incontestable.
1t will be a good idea for the council to
have an inventory made Of the outstand-
ing assessments before and after 1897
and an estimate as to how many Of the
old assessments are still collectable.
The special assessment funds constitute
the worst snarled part of the city's
finances and they ought to be straight
ened out as speedily as possible.
