HORSE STILL IN THE LEAD.
Preachment ON the Animal and His
Mechanical Rival.


The automobile has not discouraged the
useful animal, the horse. Official reports
show that tha equine is still paramount.
In 1906 there were 17057,7O2 horses in the
United States, against 14,213,sS7 in 1890. The
export price averaged $3OS99 last year,
against $1745O in 1892. The horse is flesh.
blood and intelligence, and people CT natu-
raj and practical predictions can have an
affection for him. He has the graces of
instinct. and il he gets proper attention is
a thing OF beauty and satisfaction. The
spread of the automobile is anna ing, but IL
is still to a great degree a fad and toy.
1t is a product of prosperous times, when
men are making money and have the means
of treating themselves to novelties. Its
best use is for heavy delivery transporta-
tion in cities. but il has nothing to COM
mend IL over the horse for family driving
or pleasure riding. II goes faster than the
patient, four-foOted beast, but the horse is
as rapid as is necessary. 1t goes at as
great pace as ought to be permitted in
the streets of city, and is less tempestu-
Gus than the believing and snorting motor
Anyboy with human instincts can acquire
positive affection for a faithful horse.
but who could love a greasy automobile,
with its absurd noises, gaseous wheeling
and noxious odorsT The horse the neblest
OF all beasts-if indeed, II is not shame
to call IL a beast-is creature of bounti-
full and beautiful nature, while the horse
less wagon is senseless, ponderous ma
chine that is not bridlewise, and has to
be guided at every motion by a man in a
spectacular Overcoat and wearing on his
eyes horrid goggles. The automobile has
not advanced much save In devilment. II
is still largely vehicle for the transpor-
tation OF grotesque exhibitions. Loyalty
to the horse is a sign Of the best human
temperament He Is one of the pioneers
of civilization, as well as one of its great,
est fnishers.

1t is TO be hoped the city and county
authorities will get together on the as
signment of quarters for the CONSOLE
dated city and county treasures. The
financial department of our local gov
eminent comes in close contact with a
greater number OF individual citizens
than the other departments and it ought
TO be made as easy as possible for
people to come in and pay their taxes.
The natural location for the merged
treasures Is in the rooms ia the city
hall now occupied by the city treasurer.
These should afford ample space for the
enlarged work after merger.

The World-Herald attempts to jus
tify its fragrant inconsistency between
preaching and practice of municipal
ownership by asserting that while II
has always believed in the theory, it is
opposed to applying II to more than one
thing at a time. 1t forgets to say that
in the application the fake municipal
ownership advocates have put the big
gest and toughest job first, so as to
postpone indefinitely all the little ones
that could have been completed in short

An ordinance submitting the question
of voting bonds for a city workhouse
has at last been prepared for introduc-

and submit it according to the pro-
visions of the charter will require
prompt action, as notice OF not less than

be so lucrative If the city made it's pris-

at this time the corps will concentrate its

at Omaha, Neb.. retaining, Of course, Fort

tinue this work and it is expected that dur

The War department is in receipt OF APP
plication for mileage claimed by officers
who are now on the retired list and who
feel that they are entitled to mileage which
appears to have been paid General Leonard
Wood under circumstances that seem to

money in the case of the claimants. II is
likely that nothing will be done in these
cases since there were very good reasons
, for the action originally taken In denying
mileage. The conditions are not understood
to constitute a new situation in any respect.
The claim for mileage which may be re-
ceived will have to be filed.
Army signal officers have been engaged
this week on experiments with the pyro-
technic form OF signalling with which there
has been some work between this city, Fort
Washington. Alexandria and other places

were held there was signalling by bombs
by daylight as well as after dark. the
former including the discharge OF smoke
bombs or devices which carry and expose
to view smoke OF different colors to be
observed at q distance to ascertain with
what effect that system may be employed
in communication. There were further
tests also with bombs and rockets at night.
So far as the experiments have gone there
is demonstration Of the bomb as COM
pared with any other conveyor. 1t is found
to be more reliable. The army signal Of
