HOW THE WOMAN HELPS.
Value of a Good wife as Proven In
CuPHpn's Case.


Chicago Journal.
In the comments upon the career OF the
late Lady Curzon It is noticeable that most
newspapers consider the most admirable
and striking trait in her character TO have
been her single-hearted and unseinsh de-
votion to her husbands career
When Miss Letter married George CURSOR
he was a minor official in the British gov
eminent. He was the younger son OF a
peer. but in the natural course Of events
would never have possessed title OF no.
bility. But he was able. Woodworking and
ambitious and his wife with her large
fortune and her unusual tact and charm.
walked by his side, helping him greatly as
together they climbed the steep and dim
cult pathway of distinction.
The result was that Lord Curxon rose to
the highest position in the British empire
under the sovereign. and gave his wife a
position envied by all women in England
and America.
This unselhsh devotion to a husbands
interest, to the exclusion Of the interests
OF dress and society that absorb most
women Of the world. is rarer than It ought
to be. II is rarer, too, than II would be.
doubtless. II more women reflected that
where a husband rises, there his wife is
raised also.
In no other sense is II more true than
in this sense that husband and wife are
one Their interests are Identical, and
whatever distinction or glory the husband
achieves the wife shares. For that reason
they should work together In the attempt TO
further his ambitious projects.

why He IL Admired.
Mononi News.

Mr. Rosewater's candidacy is gaining
ETound and the News believes Nebraska
does not possess candidate better quail
ned for the position OF United States SEN
Ator. The News admires Rosewater be-
cause he has brought many evil deeds to
light, perpetrated by corrupt schemers
and politicians OF the republican party.
The citizen who aids in purifying the politi-
cal atmosphere and upholds the dignity OF
the law. and occasionally turns the inside
workings OF his party to public gaze. that
the evils may be seen and corrected, is to
be honored far more than the smooth
schemer who discovers evil in high places
and then wants once that he may smother
the existing evils. What we want is men
whose lives are an open book. honest, able
and fearless in the discharge OF duty. We
believe that the state convention should
express its preference for United States
senator and II we were delegate or
even a representative of this great state
we would cast our vote for Edward Rose
water In preference to any candidate yet
named.

PoPUL1R oawpsIsE FUND.

The initial appeal Of the republican
national congressional committee for
financial support directly to the In
dividual party voters 10 in harmony
with the spirit OF President Roose-
velt's leadership, and 1t should be vel
coined and responded 20 by loyal re-
publicans as a genuine sign Of better
days OF party management and govern
ment. The demand has gone forth
that the management OF all political
parties shall be representative Of the
popular will This demand implies the
correlative duty of popular support of
the party organization. To maintain
an educational campaign through
press and stump in all the debstable
congressional districts Of the country
and to organize the means of getting
the party strength out to register and
to vote is a heavy burden. requiring
in the aggregate no small outlay OF
money. even when the expense is re-
stricted to the legitimate minimum.
There has been a memorable revul-
sion Of popular sentiment against the
undue influence OF corporate wealth in
all the party organizations, both as
regards national and local govern
ment, because Of their claims TO spe-
cial consideration in return for con-
tributions to campaign funds. II is,
therefore, necessarily incumbent upon
the mass Of republicans TO show at
least some fraction of the interest in
the public good that great corpora
lions have shown in influencing gov
eminent to their own selfish concerns,
and certainly TO supply the means of
maintaining the policy. illustrated by
the president, which they profess to
approve. The movement for party
management, untrammeled by corpor-
alton dictation, will have been largely
in vain II, when 1t comes to the pinch,
the voters as individuals relapse into
indifference and withhold the re-
sources indispensable to campaigns.
The republican campaign commit
tee, in its appeal for a popular sub
scription of 81 each from the rank and
file, pertinently says: The congress
sional campaign must be based on the
administrative and legislative record of
the party, and, that being SO, Theodore
Roosevelt's personality must be the
central figure and his achievements a
central thought in the campaign"
The issue is direct and the individual
response to the appeal for support Of
the party organization on this basis
will in a measure test popular sin
cerity.

A Law WONDERFULLY MADE.

The county board is wrestling with
the question of distributing the money
paid into the county treasury fund
from Inheritance taxes on estates pro-
bated In Douglas county. The distri-.
button of this inheritance tax money
is governed by a section of the law
passed by the last legislature amend
ing the original inheritance tax law,
which is peculiarly and wonderfully
drawn. According to this law all
money collected from inheritance
taxes is to be kept in a separate and
special fund, under the direction of
the county board, for the sole pur-
pose Of the permanent improvement
Of the county roads. which roads shall
not be built within,the corporate limits
OF any city or village. but shah begin
at the limit of any city or village and
extending therefrom in the direction
most travelled by the public"
This means substantially that the
money shall be used only for paving
county roads outside of the cities and
villages along the main lines of travel
and that although in this county the
money will in nine cases out OF ten come
from estates accumulated and held
within the cities of Omaha or South
Omaha, not a cent can be utilized for
the benefit OF these cities, except as
they beneht indirectly from better
county roads leading into the city.
While this discrimination exclud-
ing all cities aud villages in the
county from direct participation in the
expenditure Of this inheritance tax
money might be tolerated, the law
goes on further to specify in whaa way
the Improvement OF the county roads
shall be had. declaring that ''an such
permanent roadbeds shall be not less
than twenty-five feet in width and the
paved or permanent part shall be not
less than nine feet nor more than
twelve feet In width" nine-foot
paved roadway. would. Of course. be
ridiculous and a twelve-foot paved
roadway not much better. Two

Our Tariff and FOreiEn Trade.


Ne" AoEh
Only two years ago Judge Parker ana
many Of the democratic newspapers which
supported him were arguing in the face OF
our own trade reports that we could never
hope to build up a genuine foreign com
merce under the Dingley law, being prac-
tically restricted under its operations to
disposing abroad of our surplus food
products and raw materials. But this
theory falls to the ground when tested
by the facts, for of all classes OF exports
manufacturers have shown by far the
greatest gain under the Dingley law, and
OF our exports for 1s05-1s06 agricultural
products. including provisions and min
eral oils, constituted only about half Of
the total Sales of agricultural products
amounted to $3.50, 100000 and sales Of nom
agricultural products to $3.50, 00O, 900.

DANGER BEYOND THE RIO sRANDE.

DANGER BEYOND THE RIO GRANDE.
There are possibilities Of mischief in
the anti-foreign agitation which Is
widespread in the northern and CEN
trail states of Mexico, and which is al
ready causing serious apprehension,
both among foreigners resident or
having interests there and to the Mex
lean government. Native Jealousy and
animosity towards the foreign element
was, under the circumstances. In
evitable. The watchword, Mexico for
Mexicans," which has been adopted
by the agitators, represents prejudices
and antagonisms always aroused In
any country by the presence of large,
aggressive and growing foreign ele-
ment. They are especially liable to
violent outbreak in a country, large
portion of whose population Is ignor-
ant and i'll fitted for competition with
the outlanders. Moreover. notwith-
standing the strong hand Of Diaz on
the helm of the government OF Mexico
the last quarter of a century, the in
grained revolutionary tendencies OF
such a people are by no means finally
extirpated, and a spreading anti-for-
eignism, Joined with social unrest and
political factions, might easily lead to
serious complications.
The situation especially concerns
Americans who have gone in great
numbers into Mexico and have in
vested there hundreds Of millions OF
dollars. If widespread popular hos
tility should seriously manifest itself,
not only would these enormous inter
ests be imperiled, but international
troubles would necessarily follow.
However, It is to be said that progress
in the sister republic has been so rapid
and notable the last two or three dec
AIDES as to create universal confidence
in it's power to maintain public secur-
ity against any probable unsettling
contingency, and 1t is so strong that
1t will not be abandoned lightly.

VALUE OF THE TRADE AGREEMENT.
It's Success I'm Five Great Industries

Are strIkinEIy Pointed Out.
Civic Federation Review.
Some indication Of the value of the trade
agreement is shown by recent develop
ments in FIVE important Industries Of the
country-in the coal fields, in the iron and
steel industry on street railways, in the
various occupations along the Great Lakes.
and among employers and employees Of the
Fall River cotton mills. These recent events
would seem TO strengthen the belief Of stu
dents OF Industrial conditions that the trade
agreement is the only practical present-day
method for averting industrial wars. II is
true of course, that the trade agreement
machinery is BY no means perfect, but II
is the only rational method which human
ingenuity has devised for regulating the re-
lations between employers and employees.
While the progress of events may at some
future day bring forth something better.
the present hope OF the nation for working
out some kind Of harmonious relations be-
tween labor and capital must depend upoh
this trade agreement machinery. The Re
view is of the opinion that one Of the most
Important events of recent years tending
to emphasize the great value OF this con-
ference method OF settling differences be-
tween capital and labor is the outcome OF
the negotiations between the anthracite
mine workers and the hard coal operators
following the termination OF the award of
the Anthracite Coal Strike commission.

More Radical Than in %.

New York World dnd. dem).
The dismay produced in democratic cir
cles by Mr.. Bryan's statement is hardly
less noticeable than the delight manifested
among republicans. Nobody demanded that
Mr.. Bryan apologize for his former attitude
on the money question or publicly recnnt
or beat his breast and cry "Mea culpa"
All that anybody asked Of him was a mod
crate recognition OF the principle, much as
he himself once laid down, that changing
conditions make new issues" Instead Mr..

senator in republican state conventions.
Mr.. Rosewater. EDITOR Of The Bee, who is

with his many years advocacy of the cleo
ton Of senator by direct vote OF the peo-
pie. The party is being generally heard
from in regard TO the matter OF nominating
senator and there Is now no probability
that an attempt will be made TO abandon
the precedent Of two years ago. although a

VALUATIONS FOR SALE AND FOR

VALUATIONS FOR SALE AND FOR
TAXATION.
The Chicago traction companies are
son in the hocus pocus of corporation
finance, when valuations are to be
fixed on the one hand for, purchaser
and on the other hand for the tax
gatherer. The traction companies
earnestly insist that for the purpose
OF selling to the municipality the
value Of the tangible properties is
SAT 900, 900, of which $41, 000, 900, is
the price demanded for athe personal
property, and have recently formally
notified the authorities to that effect.
But almost simultaneously the as
SCISSOR listed identically the same prop
erty for taxes at S20,6O0, 900, or just
about one-half the price demanded of
the city OF Chicago If 1t takes the
transit property under municipal own
ership.
But the traction companies, instead
Of protesting to the tax review au-
thorities against such gross under
valuation, as demonstrated by their
own price for selling. are instituting
legal proceedings to secure a reduc-
ton of assessment from S20,5OO, 900
to only 316.5O0,O0O. The paradox al
most matches some of the chapters in
