OBLIouE OBSERVATIONS.

The redoubtable ex-United States at
torney is getting in his work through
the gullfble Omaha correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, who has referred TO
him as a model prosecutor. when, as a
matter Of fact, he was one of the most
Office in this section of the country.
BY the same sign, the gullible letter
writer paints the former assistant
United States attorney in glowing col
ors, as a man of t-anscendent integrity
and unfiinching determination in the
enforcement of federal laws against the
land grabbers and public thieves gener-
ally. when, as = matter of fact, his re-
tention as an assistant prosecutor was
engineered from behind the screen by
the potential forces that backed the
land grabbers and grafters.
Perhaps the Boston transcrlber is not
aware of the fact that this vigilant
prosecutor has had for his client man
indicted for violating the revenue laws,
for whose defense he was retained in
another tribunal. An attorney who can
prosecute a man in one court and de-
fend him in another is indeed a jewel.
Parties who are familiar with the ma
chinery of the federal court and par
ticularly with the Vaccinations OF the
former prosecuting attorney, will be
scarcely able to comprehend how any
intelligent observer who is disposed to
tell the truth. can allow himself to be
buncoed in that fashion, presuming that
he is honest.

MUNICIPAL COOPERATION.
Conspicuous Defects Due to Political
Msmanagement.
Chicago Post.


Chicago is benumbed today. surprised
to the gasping point. shocked into iner-
tia. Grave suspicion has become stern
reality. Vague rumor has developed into
relentless fact.
Painfully the admission finally has been
dragged from the responsible authorities
that the city's water works system, sole
enterprise to which the municipal owner
shipites have pointed with pride" has
reached such stage of decay that nothing
short of sl0,000,0O0 will bring il to a point
of real efficiency.
How could this dire thing have hap
pened? When a few months ago we elected
as mayor a man who said he knew so
much about municipal ownership that he
could get it Immediately" we said prac-
tlcaly that for certain public utilities
municipal management was away ahead OF
private management.
Many voted the municipal ownership
ticket last spring because Mayor Dunno
took them up into high mountain and
showed them the city water works and
told them that all of the unsurpassed
beauties OF its management would be added
to the traction systems If they would but
bow down and worship his idol OF i'm
mediacy.
And enough bowed down and worshiped
to give the mayor chance to spread
the beneficient public management of the
water works system throughout the length
and breadth of the municipality.
Now we are told that the water plant has
fallen till there is none so poor as to do
il reverence. Instead of being a virile,
aggressive argument for more municipal
ownership 1t creaks and rattles out It's
plaintive protest against such folly
Downtown the people cry for high pres
sure" In some OF the residence districts
they listen to the wheeling and occasional
spluttering Of open faucets and yell for
just pressure enough to give them the
indispensable Saturday evening bath.
| And this is municipal ownership in Chi
cago-not according to Mayor Dunno
roseate dreams. but according to plain, un-
vanished. indisputable facts. II is the
same sort OF public management that has
put the city at disadvantage in It's
negotiations with the gas companies; the
sort of management that plays politics
while machinery is wearing out and
precious records are being swept into tbs
dust heap; the sort OF management tina
Mayor Dunno would extend to the stree
| railways.
How do the public like IL? How do thos'
feel who voted for public ownership anS
management OF the street railways simply
because the city owns and operates Its owl
| water system?
Last spring the water works made man!
votes for Mayor Dunno and his pet scheme
Next spring the issue in the aldermani'
elections will be the same, only NOR
definitely presented How will the waite
works influence the voters then, in view
Of the glazing svid,shces OF mismanas eiIisIi
and waste and inadequacy the system 4
piling up for the instruction VI the tax
payers?

A GROWING COMPETITOR.

One of the most progressive of the
South American countries is Argentina,
whose climate and resources are very
much like our own and which is looking
forward to competing actively with us
in the expectation of foodstuffs 1t is
said that in proportion to the number
OF inhabitants Argentina beats the
United States in the extent of foreign
commerce, the surplus of exports over
imports the growth of foreign trade, the
increase in the stock Of gold in the coun-
try, the revenues of the general govern
ment, the volume of immigration, the
number of domestic animals, especially
sheep and cattle, the wheat crop, the
corn crop, the exports of both grains,
the size and growth of the largest city,
the increase in railroad mileage, the
reduction of the national debt and the
rise in the credit of the country.
That southern republic has made won
derful progress within the last few
years and is still forging ahead, giving
to the other southern countries splen-
did example of energy and enterprise
and of what can be accomplished by a
people who maintain peace and order.
Now Argentina is preparing to further
enlarge Ler foreign commerce by es-
tablishing fast steamship service with
Europe 1t is proposed to establish a
line of steamers under the Argentine
flag and to pay a generous subsidy for
period of ten years. According to
the American minister to that country,
IL is apparent that the Argentine govern
ment believes 1t of prime Importance
to the commercial interests of the coun-
try to secure quicker and better COM
munication with the markets Of Europe
and that it is determined TO secure the
benefits thereof at once. II is interest
ing to note that ports of the United
States are not included in this Argen-
tine plan for enlarging its commerce.
Here is a growing competitor which
in time must be reckoned with, so far
as the expectation of breadstuffs and
meats is concerned. The producing
capacity Of Argentina is very great. II
is one OF the most extensive of the
South American countries and has a
fertile soil and a fine climate. The
wheat and corn grown there are of ex'
cellent quality and there is no better
region anywhere for stock raising. The
population is Industrious and thrifty
and is being rapidly increased by immi
grafton. Foreign capital is also dow
ing into the country and it appears that
j there is no lack Of money for carrying

CULT OF THE PoPPYCoCK.

Burgess johnson, in Harper's Magazine.
A pale Aimee and Poppycock
They gat themselves to a bosky rock.
Said he; There's a stated hour. I find.
For each pursuit of the human mind:
As the tea-hour tolls for buttered rolls,
So now is a time for swapping souls"
And the Aimee sighed, as she smoothed

rs crucial key to the cosmic Lock;
It's largely due, would fam aver,
To the astral Is OF the AS II We're
With the tensive strain on my llmnal brain,
AS grope for the scope of the 1t, in

'"Tis a FASHIONED truth. but it brings a

Now as for me-" unused the 1.-the Aimee,
II sigh the most for the more / see.
Though l yearn and yearn, as you well

And caught the thought of our mingled

How wonder-deep is the blends' cried he.

Said the Poppyeoek to the pale Aimee.
This rock shall live in history:
For while our thoughts swiftly throng,

Where kindred souls may meet to WOO
How sweet thought. yet how fond and

Resigning Under Fire,

Boston Transcript.
Who will take the places of the promi-
nent men now resigning under fire? They
can't, as they go, take with them the OPP
portunites that Turk in their vacated places
for the men who come after them. Time
was when some of these men departing to
a retreat for a period of meditation and
quiet thought were considered as the flower
of a generation. They have disappointed
the faith reposed in them most grievously.
Their disregard of the rights of those abso-
lutely dependent upon them for the 'sqIAre
deal was dishonorable that 1t fairly
stunned us. Still. we recovered from 1t, as
we do from most things that shock u.s. and
now sit up to ask how we can be sure their
successors in office will conduct themselves
more honorably? Opportunity has made
sinners of so many men, who. without 1t,
might have died unknown but respectable
that we must not rest till conditions are
changed in life insurance before new ones
are exposed to them.

TIME FOR A CHANGE.
one Law for the Rich, Another for
the Poor.

Wall Street Journal.
II there is any one thing moro than an
other in this country that would make for
social and political revolution, 1t would be
the feeling that there is one law for the
rich and another for the poor
There is nothing more sure than the
destiny of the s. week clerk who steals n
few dollars from his employer. The law
deals with him sternly. He is arrested and
sent to prison. When his term expires
every door of reputable employment Is
closed against him. He bears the stamp of
a felon. There is the smell of the prison
upon him. lie is Stunned by his fellows.
There is no hope and no opportunity for
him.
But how about the rich man who uses his
power to make profit at the expense of
others, who steals IN a lordly way by hold
ing up multitudes and forcing them to pay
tribute to him, who mlsmanages trust
funds, who speculates with the money of
others, who votes himself thieving salary,
who violates the law, who juggles with fig
ures, who doctors books and who makes
false statements to the government depart
ments having the power of supervision? Are
such men as these punished? Are they ar
rested and tried for violation of law? Are
they expelled from the Chamber OF Com
merce and other reputable associations OF
business men? Are they ostracised by So
ciety?

TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH.


Attorneys of the Civic Federation are
again endeavoring to negotiate treaty
of peace and good will with the Omaha
brewers and saloon keepers, If they will
agree and promise to live up TO certain
specific provisions of the license laws
for the coming year. 1t would seem
that the last treaty of peace, negotiated
year ago, would not warrant a repeti-
ton Of the farce.
The attorneys Of the Civic Federation
must know by this time it is impossible
for saloon keepers located in the pro-
scribed district to live up to the condi-
tons of the treaty and make a living.
Their profitable business is chiefly done
after midnight. In fact most of their
business comes from the gangs of sports
that patronize Council Bluffs gambling
resorts and return to Omaha by the
last car early in the morning.
The trouble with the Civic Federation
is that it attempts too much reform at
one time. Any rational person must
conclude at a moments reflection that
the only effective war upon lawlessness
and vice Is to draw the line between
resorts that are orderly most of the
time and resorts that are disorderly all
Of the time; in other words, saloons
that can never be orderly because OF
! their environment.
| 1t is known to all men and admitted
on all hands that a strict and technical
enforcement of the license laws would
close every saloon in Omaha, and. fol
| that matter in the whole state of Ne
braska. Such radical enforcement
would not suppress the liquor traffic
any more than it has been suppressed
in Iowa and Kansas by prohibition
What the Civic Federation should ain
at is to curtail or suppress the liquor
traffic where it does the greatest harm
to the community, by fostering Grim,
and vice. Any other course simply
means shooting in the air.

Kansas City is forging to the front
as a city of civic virtue. An ordinance
has just been passed by its city council
prohibiting public dances and any per-
son of either sex found to be waltzing
in a circle or prOmenadlng in the square
will be transported by patrol wagon to
the police station, but the ordinance ex-
pressly makes an exception in favor of
lie halls by permission OF the mayor.
