Notwithstanding their tireless ef-

want will grow greater.

WORK FOR AR-SAR-BEN HUSTLERS.
The Ak-Sar-Ben organization is about
ready to start the wheels a-moving
preparatory to the grand carnival of
1908.
Everyone in Omaha knows what Ak
Sar-Ben has done for the city and
everyone in Omaha is convinced that 1t
is destined to continue it's good work
for many years to come.
AS a stimulus to Omaha's social pres
tge and commercial supremacy Ak
Sar-Ben is far and above all other or
CARNATIONS working to the same end.
Ak-Sar-Ben extends his welcoming
arms to all without distinction as to
rank as employer or employee, and it is
the n local institution in which every
progressive citizen can take a place and
find himself fully at home.
If Omaha has had a setback from
business stagnation 1t is all the more
reason for making the Ak-Sar-Ben fes-
tivities next fall Guido all that have
gone before. There is no good reason
why the membership for 1908 should
not be 1000 instead Of 1000. Every
person interested in Omaha's future
should make himself a hustling com
mittee for Ak-Sar-Ben. He can, at
least, hustle his own membership appli-
cation into the hands of the proper au-
thorites promptly, and after he is in it
is a poor hustler who cannot hustle up
another applicant for membership.
Let the hustling start early and keep
on uninterrupted so the year 1903 will
be sure to be a red letter sheet on Ak
Sar-Ben's calendar.

SWING TOWARDS PROTECTION.

SWING TOW ARDS
The London correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger says that in Great Brit
ain at the present time the swing Of the
pendulum is IN the direction Of the form
alton of a party that will give to the
country moderate protection within the
empire and administrative efficiency.
He states that the present party ma
chinery, both of the conservatives and
the liberals, gives no mean Of testing
public interest in a new issue. The
signs Of the times all point to the aban-
Comment Of the old s~hibboleths, to the
formation Of new ideals and TO the crea-
ton of a middle party. The junction
of Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Rosebery
is regarded as the best method of escape
from the present conditions. The colon
ial s%ecretary's recent speech enunciating
a fiscal policy that would completely
change the existing order Of things con-
tinues to command great attention and
there is reason to believe is gaining
adherents. The central idea Of this
policy is to keep the trade of the col
onies with Great Britain, in order to
do which it will be necessary to have a
tariff for other countries.
1t is not easy to think Of Great Britain
turning to protection, even Of the most
moderate character, yet Mr.. Chamber
lain has made it quite plain that this
will have to be done If the trade of the
colonies is to be promoted in the inter-
est of the empire and the imperial
structure made stronger. 1t is trade that
will bind the colonies more firmly to
the mother country and the colonial
secretary fully understands this add
would not delay applying the policy
that is necessary to promote trade. This
will not soon be done, however, for the
large majority of Englishmen still firmly
believe in free trade and it will take
some time to convert a sufficient num-
Der, if indeed that be possible, to carry
into effect the Chamberlain policy
There will have to be formed a new
party and 1t is believed that this can
be accomplished without much difficulty.
Indeed it is said that the only obstacle
to it is the nature of the personal rela-
tons which are known to exist between
Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Rosebery.
