Houston POST
Science tells us we should live
At least r hundred years,
So throw your canes and props away
And cut out all your fears.
You aren't old at sixty-five;
At four-score years be gay;
You've twenty more good years to draw
At least that's what they say.
If you've an enemy-some one
You have not treated square
And you have reached three-score and ten,
Oh, do not give a care.
You've thirty more good years in which
Your snares for him TO set
In which to bump him II you're smart,
So don't forgive him yet.
And do not give lifes battle up
At all before your time;
At sixty you are just a kid
At eighty In your prime.
At ninety you've a decade yet
In which to dare and do:
Put backing on your whiskers,
And find a girl to WOO.
Since scientists have told us
We should live a hundred years
Throw down your cane and exc your erutch
And wipe your rheumy tears.
But scientists are puzgling chaps;
While their advice is hung
To us to live a hundred years
They all of them die young.

wANrEp-AuroMoBrLE INSPECTION

- "
The explosion of an automobile in
the heart of Omaha. endangering the
lives of half a dozen occupants, sug-
gests the necessity of some kind of
automobile inspection that will serve
as a protection against such accidents.
Irrespective whether an explosion of
this kind is only possible with the
type of automobile known as "a
steamer" multiplying experience
shows that the machinery of all of
these vehicles is liable to get out of
order with Serious consequences.
\ We hardly think it is enough to de-
pend upon the self-interest of the
owners to see that the automobiles
are kept in a condition of safety.
There should be some sort of compe-
tent inspection at reasonable intervals
either by the city boiler inspector or
by some other properly empowered
officer who is familiar with mechanical
construction and able to detect flaws
in such machines.
With the increase in the number OF
automobiles constantly traversing the
streets, automobiles must be subjected
to stricter regulation for the public
benefit as well as for their own.

Has Accomplished Things.
II--,IA


Edward Rosewater, veteran editor of The
Omaha Bee is now in the race for the
United States senate in earnest and pro-
poses to make a vigorous contest for the
place. Mr.. Rosewater's active career as
editor Of Nebraska's leading daily paper
since 1871 has aroused opposition at one
time or another and he will have a string
of enemies to contend against. Any siren
uous life that has accomplished things
meets more or less antagonism, and that is
the case with Mr.. Rosewater That he has
always fought to regulate corporations
and restrict the power of wealth and that
he would ably and fearlessly represent the
state at Washington, people we'll know.
Whether he can secure the nomination or
not time will tell. He will at least put up
a tight that will make Norris Browns
boom less certain Of carrying the state by
storm.

TENNESSEE DIRECT NOMINATION.


A candidate for United States Isena-
tor has Just been satisfactorily nomi-
mated by a poll of the total member
ship of the Tennessee democracy.
Though the contest was exceedingly
arduous, the result is accepted on all
hands as a true expression of the pop
ular will, and Senator Carmack, who
was defeated by a large majority,
though disappointed, declares in a
signed statement: 81 accept the YER
dict without bitterness and without
complaint"
So preponderant is the democratic
party in Tennessee that there is, of
course, no question that the nomina-
ton carries with it election, the meth
DDS employed being conceded to be
fair and free from frauds. 1t Will
coomand at least the average strength
of the party, which is sufficient. Yet
II is not so satisfactory nor so simple
as direct election of senators by con-
stitutional requirement. 1t secures
much of the effect of direct election,
but by indirect means,
All states should compulsorily be
represented in the senate by senator's
whose title is conferred as directly
by the people themselves as that of
membership in the house. But every
state that for itself voluntarily APP
arooCbas ne naar nc nOssihle the ideal
notwithstanding constitutional OBJ
stacles, is an object lesson for other
states, and it is only through such
action, probably, that the constitution
can be amended to secure popular
election In it's genuine and best form.

cial and hostile motives back Of 1t this
hearing really enforces upon public
attention the importance Of the relief
which a measure like the one passed
by the house would afford the coun-
try. This might be useful but for
the fact that the public is already
justly convinced and the danger that
the delay. at this late stage of the ses-
sion, may defeat the bill, as it is prob
ably designed to do.

OF all cities of it's size and CONNER
cial Importance Omaha, without
doubt, is poorly equipped with sub
urban electric trolley lines. There
are many cities in Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and even Iowa which Omaha out
ranks, which are each the center of a
network of outspreading trolley lines
that bring in shoppers from distances
of thirty to fifty miles.
The Bee has been agitating for
years for electric trolley lines to con-
meet Omaha with nearby cities and
towns like Fremont. Papillion. Ash
land, Louisville and Plattsmouth; and
while several projects have been
started, and one or two are under way,
they seem to have languished COM
pletely or to have been promoted on
the piece-meal plan, so that today the
prospect of realizing on these ven
lures seems still far off.
A few good hustlers with capital at
their command could make a strike by
taking over these trolley undertake
ings, making them a part of a system
attic plan of operations and putting the
whole thing through without further
delay. The business for such a sys-
tenn of suburban trolleys centering in
Omaha awaits an outlet and would
surely make the enterprise a paying
one from the start. Why such a
promising opening should be so long
neglected is almost beyond under
standing

senate's Change of Front.

hdIISd5 OIIY SUIT.
The most remarkable spectacle before the
country at this time is the United States
senate acting as the advance guard in the
movement for governmental reform. The
surprise is as great as the fact is graft
flying. Yet the senate is doing nothing
more than the people have demanded of It
and nothing more than the people have a
right to ask. But in meeting this demand
the senate has changed front It has gone
farther than the people dared to hope it
would go, farther even than the president
believed it could be brought to go. Specu-
lation as to the reasons for this change are
interesting.

SystemRtiEinR Postal Laws.
nngFnv, Clahn

Postmaster General Cortelyou's plan for
a commission, representing all the inter-
ests involved, to formulate new code of
legislation relating to second-class post
age is a mighty good one. Some consistent
action is needed without delay to systema-
tie the postal laws relating to newspapers
and periodicals and to do away with an
irresponsible censorship that has come into
existence in the last few years. and that
is absolutely un-Amercan and a serious
menace to the institutions of this free re-
public.

Edward Rosewater of The Bee has an
nounced himself as a candidate for the
United States senate While it is generally
admitted throughout the state that Rose
water would make a No. 1 senator, we
doubt very much whether his candidacy
will be taken seriously. At this time the
chances are very much against an Omaha
man capturing that Office for the next six
years. But if it should be Rosewater, the
common people will have a representative.

Trade Relations with Cuba.

FHIdUcIpIId FItSS.
Cuba is preparing to strengthen the COM
mercial ties between that island and the
United States. The original reciprocity
treaty is rightly considered mere begin
ming, and the scheme Of a broader reci-
procity which is being elaborated in Ha-
vana was undertaken by a subcommittee
appointed by a general committee repre-
senting all the commercial and industrial
associations of Cuba. The committees full
report, which will be submitted to the COM
mercial bodies as a basis for a new treaty
with the United States, will ask for more
liberal treatment for certain Cuban staple
products, and it will offer very favorable
treatment to American cotton, food prod
ucts and manufactures. When Cuba formu-
lates its demand it will meet with a ready
response from America.

not be done, however, unless the city

lawyers not only of ability, but also of
industry. The late charter makers
made a great mistake mistake
against which The Bee protested at

ton OF city attorney elective instead
of appointive, as it had always been.

self as a candidate for the United States

know Of no public man at present, who, by
industry and energy in an honorable pro-
fession' by steady and uniinching cham
pionship Of the cause of the people against
the corporations, by the possession OF abil-
ity Of a high order and unquestioned indie
pendence Of character is more fitted for
this position than Mr.. Rosewater. He is
among the last Of those who built up
great newspapers by their own personal
worth and the advocacy of their own opin-
ions. Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier is the only other name which now
occurs to us as that of a great editor OF
a great journal whose personal views have
always characterized the editorials Of the
paper of which he was the owner. They
are the two last representatives Of what
has been called personal journalism. the
two last members Of the school Of which
Greeley, Dana Raymond and the older
Bennett were the conspicuous examples.
We should like to see each Of them in the
