WHAT rs CAUSING THE DELAY NoU,

WHAT rs CAUSING THE DELAY NOW9
There is a "well-defined rumor," al
though it's source is not apparent, that
the long-deferred appraisement of
Omaha water works is being held back
unnecessarily and that the delay is
chargeable more TO the engineer chosen
TO represent the city than to the en-
gineer chosen to represent the water
company or to the third engineer
chosen by the first two.
II there is any foundation for this
rumor. it must be that the appraise-
ment is being held back for mere dill
atory purposes. Certainly no good
reason exists why it should take three
years to put in motion the machinery
provided by the compulsory" pur-
chase law under which the city is sup
posed to be acquiring Immediate"
ownership OF the plant.
So far as the public is aware. no
substantial benefits have yet accrued
to them from this law. either as tax
payers defraying the cost OF hydrant
rental or as private consumers paying
for the water supplied TO their dwell
ings or places OF business. The chief
result visible TO the naked eye has
been to pile up a huge bill of expenses
for salaries for a water board, with no
water plant to manage; fees for ex-
pert hydraulic engineers and retainers
for high-priced lawyers engaged to
represent the Water board in all IT'S
multitudinous litigation.
II is true that the appraisement has
been promised over and over and the
date for the report has been repeat
eddy fxed and as often postponed. The
effort OF the water board to nullify
the rate schedule embodied in the
water works franchise and reduce
rates TO private consumers in disre-
gard of the contract having come 70
nought, relief must now be had. il II
Is to come within any reasonable time
either through the purchase and oper-
alton of the plant by the city OF
through a new contract with the com
pany on terms more favorable 70 the
city No step can be taken In either
direction, however. until =e know al

Edward Rosewater is the most representa-

often used TO blind the eyes OF the people
to real merit. When the populace Of Rome
shouted that Caesar was ambitious they
sounded their own death knell. Edward
Rosewater would give Nebraska a live
representative in the senate and with sena-
tor Burkett as his running mate our state
could hold up it's head with the best Of

age is TO be a fraternal one. Every age
has It's vices and its virtues The nine

the same source The first vice has been
that Of accumulation. Put men together
and tell them to look after their own in
terests and push ahead and each man will
be measuring himself by his Accommodations.
The second vice is the lawlessness of self
will. We hear Of the criminal classes.
Can you tell me today who belongs 10 the
criminal class7 Do the insurance directors

companies in which they were directors AZ
high prices7 Do the railroad officials who
broke the law Of the land and now stand

by a gentleman's agreement that which

From our Friends, the Enemy.
baltimore Sun (dem.)

In the half century Of its existence the
republican party has been a party with
positive policies and aggressiveness Its
advocacy OF a liberal Interpretation of the
constitution has in effect worked a radical
change in our methods and ideas of gov
eminent The party whether it's policies
have been right or wrong, has achieved
marvellous results. and the fifty years Of
its existence is a longer life than any other
political party in this country has enjoyed,
except only the democratic party, which
has lasted from the beginning and has
seen party after party disintegrate.
Whether 1t will outlive the republican
party, as 1t outlived the federalist. the
American republican, the whig, the know
nothing and various other organizations,
remains to be seen.

SAN FkANCISCo DBpBNpEvTs

The statement of General Greedy OF
the United States regular army, who is
In charge Of the work, that $4,000
people in San Francisco are still de-
pendent upon the supply camp for
food suggests the weight of the relief
burden that has still to be borne
Great progress has indeed been made
since the weeks Immediately following
the earthquake shock and FIRE, when
at least a quarter of a million had to
be supplied from outside with food
shelter, clothes and medicine. The
greatest hardships, too, are now passed
Multitudes then dependent are self
supporting, other multitudes have left
the city and chaos has been supple
mented with order and relief proceed
ing on strict system.
But the subsistence Of $4,000 people
even under the most favorable circum-
stances is an immense task. The re-
naming dependents, If General
Greely's report is approximately cor
rect, is more than double the army at
Santiago which the government of the
United States, with all its resources,
experienced great difficulty to subsist.
A simple calculation of food require
ments shows the strain involved, es-
pecially when San Francisco is heavily
taxed to support many who do not fig
ure in the list OF dependents and
when help from the outside is rapidly
dwindling.
1t is clear from General GreeIy's
showing and from the evidence in the
local newspapers that San Francisco
is still far from the end of its troubles
and that the number of dependents,
though it will continue to decrease,
will be formidable for many months.

EDWARD ROsEwArpR roR SENATOR

Humboldt Leader dem.
II 10 practically conceded that Edward
RosewGter will carry the Douglas county
primaries in spite OF the INSCRIPTIONS night
which will be made upon him by certain
selfish interests, and with that powerful
delegation behind him he stands a good
show TO win In the senatorial contest.
Should the republican party 90 honor him
II will be. we believe, TO its everlasting
credit, as he IL not only thoroughly COM
petent and deserving, but has stood for
those principles which now form the main
planks in the republican platforms While
by no means an aged or infrm man, Mr.
Gosewater lie getting along in years (most
Of which have been spent in standing up
for Nebraska) and should be given an OPP
portunity now, II ever. TO demonstrate what
he can do for the state in an official ca
pacity At the same time Il would bestow
upon him an honor to which he aspires
and to which he is certainly entitled. We
never believed in keeping good words back
until a man is dead we have no sympathy
with those who bestow honors only through
flowers on the bier, and we think It ex-
tremely unwise to allow jealousy. partisan
ship and unworthy motives to keep the
state from being represented in the upper
house by the very best material within her
borders

None Better auaIIned.

Sovereign Visitor CIV. o. W..
Edward Rosewater, as republican candi-
date for United States senator from Ne
braska, appears to be in the lead. Mr..
Rosewater is a self-made man He was
a telegraph operator during the war; he
came to Omaha Immediately after peace
was assured. He started an amateur news
paper, which he gave the singing name
of Omaha Bee. Its snap and crispiness
attracted attention. 1t was ridiculed by
the city journals which attracted further
attention. 1t rapidly gained popular favor
and under his mastery direction. has be-
come one OF the most influential factors
in republican politics of any paper in the
west. Mr.. Rosewater has made and de-
feated scores OF political aspirants. His
ability is unquestioned his independence
has been manifest. II elected, Nebraska
will have an able representative. As an
orator he is forceful, tireless worker;
ambitious. pubic-spirited, jealous for the
rights of the people, and he deserves their
confidence. Visitor does not care TO dab
BILE in politics. Woodcraft is not partisan.
1t has a cosmopolitan membership OF all
shades OF religious and political affllia-
lions; Visitor would not presume to in
iuence even one member. but II Nebraska
decides TO have a republican senator, we
know of none better qualified or more
deserving than Hon. Edward Rosewater.

COMMENCEMENT ADMov,r,ovs


One of the most significant signs is
the tone of the addresses to this years
graduates of colleges and universities.
which almost without exception deal
with subjects Of current interest. The
unanimity with which the thinkers
and educators who appear on such oc-
casions have discussed wealth in its
ethical and political relations rather
than from the special economic\ stand
point must strike the thoughtful OBJ
| server. 1t is all in marked contrast
with. the traditional and customary
matter of such deliverances which
cross a much wider range. compre-
bending many diverse areas Of scholar
ship and generally inclined to run to
distractions and limitless variety of
generalization.
Nothing could more forcefully sug-
gest the serious character of the prac-
tical questions which are engrossing
the attention of profound moralists
and educators as we'll as the interest
OF the general public. While there
are few cases Of extravagant and ex-
IRENE views, the dominant note is ex-
hortation to duty, with emphasis on
the obligations of wealth The ex-
pressed or implied premise is DEPART
ure in our fevered commercialism from
hose fundamental moral precsbts
"bich alone give perm lhent safety and
well being.
Generally speaking these admoni-
tions are not the expressions OF selfish
demagogues and charlatans, but the
sober convictions OF the very highest
type of our citizenship, whose candor.
courage and motives are beyond sus-
picion. Nor does 1t matter, so far as
the significance of their injunctions is
concerned, whether existing dissatis-
faction be caused by absolute decad-
ence of business morality or by sheer
elevation of the standards required by
public sentiment. In any event the
necessity of readjusting conduct is i'm
perative. ...

CANAL WORK. 1TBAN1MI.

The announcement that the presi-
dent will make an extended visit for
personal Inspection an .'Idy Of
conditions at Panama follows quickly
the senate vote for a lock canal, and
is a suggestion OF the energy with
which the enterprise will be prose
cuted. The period OF delay and I'M
certainty caused by the controversy as
to whether the canal should be lock or
sea level has been finally closed, the
hands Of the administration united and
the necessary funds for the coming
years work provided
The Importance and magnitude Of
what has already been accomplished
on the isthmus is naturally not fully
appreciated because II has been so
largely of a preparatory character,
whereas the public mind conceives of
the work as a great ditch and measures
progress by actual excavation. But in
order to expedite construction there
had first to be assemblage Of ma
chinery and labor on a grand scale,
provision for the health of all en-
ployed, their subsistence and shelter
civil administration and arrangements
for the purchase and transportation Of
materials from the four corners OF the
globe.
Weeks ago Secretary Taft offcially
notified congress that point had been
reached at which actual excavation
could go forward the moment the type
OF canal might be settled. Accordingly
we shall soon hear that the % 900 la
borers and the great modern excavat-
ing machines already installed are
making the dirt ly," and the results
of all that has been heretofore done
will be more apparent.
At the best 1t is hardly hoped to
complete the historic enterprise in less
than eight or nine years, and many
authorities regard Secretary Taft as
too sanguine when he fixes that min
imum time. 1t is certain, however,
that President Roosevelt will exhaust
every resource at his command to-
hasten construction and in its progress
during the remaining years OF his ad-
ministration to set a pace which will
secure the canal to the country and
to the world at the very earliest pos
sible moment

ROSEWATER MAY LAND MONDAY.
Special Dispatch to the World Herald.
Washington, ID. c., June 23-It is learned
in Washington that Edward Rosewater
will arrive in New York probably on Mon
day on his way home from Europe Mr.
Rosewater's return IL hasty and utterly un-
expected. The postal congress to which
he was accredited by the United States is
stu in session and nothing but the most
important exgency would have been per-
mitted to recall. The exigency, Il is pretty
definitely understood. relates to the poit-
ical situation in Douglas county. II is as
sumed here by people who know best about
the situation that the Rosewater senatorial
candidacy that Mr.. Rosewater was csbled
TO come home and start the machine going
right again.
These two extracts from the World
Herald indicate what sort of made-to-
order mendacity may be expected from
that source in everything that relates
to the candidacy of Edward Rosewater
for senator. 81.
For the benefit of our friends, the
political enemy, we are pleased to in
form them, II It will make them feel
any happier, that Mr.. Rosewater
reached New York harbor last Friday
night by the steamship La Provence
and may be expected in Omaha tomor-
row or next day. Not only this, but he
engaged his return passage at the time
he made his outgoing voyage and has
not changed his plans whatsoever as to
the time originally set for his return.
