The querulous disposition conspicu.
ously exhibited in the senate with refer
ence to the part Of President Roosevelt
in the proposed judicial review amend
ment will strike the public mind I'M
favorably The press reports of a meet
ing at the White House at which the
proposed amendment was a topic of con-
versation between the president the at
torney general and several senators, at
once inspired insinuation and outright
attack on the presidents course as an
interference with the prerogatives of the
senate. It is hard to contemplate with.
out a sense of humiliation the scene in
which one senator after another rose to
cross-examine Senators Allison and Long
as to the details of what occurred at the
White House, disclosures which by cOur-
tesy and unwritten law cannot be made.
nor would they be content with the posi-
tive assurance that the amendment in
question had not been prepared by the
president and that it originated outside
the White House.
Not less significant is the fact that the
discussion did not go to the merits OF
the amendment. whether it should be
adopted or not. Such discussion hon
estly conducted would be pertinent It's
drift was toward arousing jealousy and
prejudice, and arraying senators in hos
tility TO the chief executive.
1t is Of course true that the depart
ments Of the government are independ-
ent OF each other. but that fact has
never been understood to bar the execu-
tive from expressing his views to men,
bers Of both branches OF congress and
consulting and advising with them. On
the contrary such conference has always
been the rule, and no president ever car
ried it further than did Abraham Lin
coin.
The simulated sensitiveness OF sen
ators will be Interpreted by the country
as due 20 the contrast between the presi-
dents zeal for railroad control with their
desire to defeat or weaken the move
ment TO secure il. and as confession OF
their own fault rather than as an ar.
raignment for any fault ON his part.
For no feature OF President Roosevelt's
administration is so admired and heart

RESULT OF THE PRIMARY

AS a result of the primary Erastus
A. Benson will head the republican
ticket in the coming municipal election
and with him will be associated the
entire list of Fontanelle endorses, with
two exceptions.
Under the conditions this result is
not surprising It is a reflection of the
general sentiment i'm favor of municipal
reform and the periodic popular de-
mand for a change of rulers, the ad-
ministratIon of city affairs in Omaha
having been now for three consecutive
terms, covering nine years, in the hands
of what is known as the Moores regime.
The feature of the primary Is the ex-
tremely large vote polled in excess of
notwithstanding the intense interest our
people are taking in the subject Of their
own government.
The victory of Benson, however, car
ries several significant side lights. He
is minority nominee. His vote Of
300 is counterbalanced by a vote Of
$500 for the opposition candidates. His
ideas of strictest law enforcement
therefore, are not endorsed by ma
jority Of Omaha republicans, and IL
those who favored a more liberal adj
ministration had been united on a sin
gle candidate they would have won.
City Treasurer Hennings, who was
supported by The Bee for the nomina-
ton, has reason to be gratified at the
showing he has made. He comes second
to Benson, Notwithstanding the effort
to grind him between both extremes
the resort to trickery against him and
the unrestrained use of the police club
on many who would be inclined to sup
port him.
The contest will now be between
Benson as the republican nominee and
Dahlman as the democratic nominee.
The Bee will discuss the men and the
issues as the campaign proceeds.

Coal Land Grabs.
4 DA,,rsl

While the senate, at the instance of SEN
ator La Toilette, struck out Of the five
civilized tribes bill a provision for leasing
coal lands in the Indian Territory to rail-
road companies, there seems to be a pos
slbillty of the clause being restored in
conference committee. Inasmuch as the
supreme court only short while ago set
the seal of disapproval on the combination
of the business of mining coal with the
business of carrying the same, II would
be very bad policy for another branch Of
the government to encourage the practice
condemned-even assuming that the pro-
posed leases do not conceal hundreds OF
millions of graft. The wriggling OF this
coal lands SNAKE in conference committee
should be watched

The difference between the old-fash-
toned ballots and the new style voting
machines is strikingly illustrated by
the experience of Omaha and South
Omaha Tuesday. South Omaha had an
election. at which the voting machines
were used, and the complete returns on
every office were had within two hours
after the polls closed. The primary
election at Omaha. on the other hand,
had to be conducted by marked paper
ballots and it took nearly twelve hours
after the polls closed to get the last re-
turns in

The American Invasion.

Pnlladelpnla RECORD
An invasion of Europe by American auto
mobiles is indicated by the appointment of
an attorney in Paris to represent Ameri-
cans who get into trouble with the mar
row-minded and bigoted natives who lose
their tempers when their children are run
over and their horses have to climb over
the fences to get out of the way Of motor
cars running like railway trains. If the
Automobile Club OF America would induce
its members to refrain from decimating the
population of European villages It would do
more permanent good than in arranging
for their defense when arraigned for man
slaughter.

The goal toward which the agitation
for stricter regulation of the liquor
traffic is heading is disclosed by the
latest move down at Lincoln, where a
delegation of ministers has appeared
before the excise board asking that the
number of licenses issued be arbitrarily
restricted to twenty-five. This number
is arrived at by figuring that saloon
licenses should not exceed one to 1000
of the population. If applied to Omaha
such a rule would cut the number of
saloons down from 24O to sixty, with
corresponding shrinkage in the revenues
OF the school fund from liquor license
receipts. There are no immediate
signs, however. for even Lincoln to
adopt this rule.
