 believe 1t to be true that. viewed against the background of conditions a century, a generation, decade ago, government in my own country has ad- vanced, in the intelligent participation of the great mass of the people, in the fidelity and honesty with which they are represented, in respct for law, in obedience to the dictates of a sound morality, and in effectiveness and puri- ty ofs administration.
 Nowhere In the world has this pro- gress been more marked than in Latin America Out of the wrack of Indian fighting and race conflicts and civil wars, strong and stable governments have arisen. Peaceful succession in accord with the peoples will has re- placed the forcible seizure of power permitted by the peoples indifference. Loyalty to country, it's peace, it's dig nifty, its honor, has risen above part izanship for individual leaders The rule of law supersedes the rule of man. Property is protected and the fruits of enterprise are secure. Individual libelr- ty is respected. Continuous public poli- cies are followed; national faith Is held sacred. Progress has not been equal everywhere. but there has been progress everywhere. The movement in tn right direction Is general. The right tendency is not exceptional; 1t is continental. The present affords just cause for satisfaction; the future Is bright with hope.
 It is not by national Isolation that these results have been accomplished, or that this progress can be continued No nation can live unto itself alone and continue to live. Each nations

 According to your program no great and impressive single thing is to be done by. you; no political questions are to be discused; no controversies are to be settled; no judgment is to be past upon the conduct of any State; but many subjects are to be considered which afford the possibility of remov- ing barriers to intercourse; of ascer- taining for the common benefit what advances have been made by each na- tion in knowledge, in experience in enterprise, In the solution of difficult questions of government. and in ethical standards; of perfecting our knowledge of each other; and of doing away with the misconceptiors, the misrR derstand ings, and the resultant prejSdices that are such fruitful sources of contro- versy.

YOUNGSTERS ENJOYED ri
Commotion in Lookup Was Only the
 Boys Practicing Dancing.

Some of the younsters that are fall- ing into the police drag-net are case hardened rascals and appear to take their arrest as matter of course. This morning some commotion was heard in the lookup and Superinten- dent Beach hurried out of his office and over to the door of the cell to see what it was about After look ing in he turned quickly and walked to the office, remarking that those young cusses were acting as If they felt tickled at being shut up. They were dancing ,three-hand reel to music hummed by an old. fellow who was nearby and could scarcely keep from laughing at how the youngsters came down on the concrete floor with their light shoes. There is some- thing wrong with the boys about town. If not why is it that so many of them find their way into the police station?
 The commotion was made by three youngsters, charged with vagrancy and theft. The past few nights they have been sleeping in the cooler of the TrOtt Baking company on East Main street and in the meantime have paid q few visits to the baking department of the concern. The thefts became noticeable after a cou- pie of days, so the police were noti- fled and the arrests were the result.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES
\ Great Deal of Annoyance Would Be Avoided With Larger Appropriation.

The school board will soon be con sider1ng estimates of expense for next year, and while they are at them the commissioners would make no mis- take in making provision to furnish school supplies and do away with the confusion parents are put to in fur nishing money for white paper and other necessaries which could be bought at greatly reduced cost if pur- chased by the school department. The items of expense for each family are small, but they cause lot of trouble, and while the city furnishes so many things there does not seem to be any sense in emitting anything that is needed. All the school boards lacked for the past few years to put 1t in position to furnish ev- erything was $3,000. The aldermen should see that this deficit is made up in the appropriations to be acted upon this year. It would be cheaper for everybody and would relieve peo- pie who have youngsters in the schools great deal of annoyance.

CORNWELL GETS PRISON.
Judge Roraback Cuts Attorneys Short
 and Scored the Prisoner.

Bridgeport, Oct 11.-George w. Cornwell, who yesterday pleaded guilty to the stealing of bonds from Mrs Johanna Lumpkins valued at s6,000, was to-day sentenced to not less than two years nor more than ten years for his crime. Attorney Chamberlain, the senior counsel for Cornwell, charged that the state had promised Cornwell immunity if he would return the bonds and had then deliberately broken that promise and used as evidence to convict his client the return of the bonds. This de- nunciation led to an extended and heated argument between the attor- neys which was interrupted by Judge Roraback, who in imposing sentence scathingly rebuked the prisoner. He said in part: A
 "Cornwell has pleaded guilty To the information charging him with stealing $6,570 worth of bonds. The question now arises as to his pun ishment. His crime was not con- mitted in the violence of passion Or temptation, but was a cola bloodeJ, deliberate theft, committed through averice or to supply him in luxurious excesses. He took a villianous ai- vantage of the friendship md kind ness of two unprotected females. He had weeks and months in whi.h to repent. but showed no remorse until arrested, when he attempted to es- cape by ,7king for immunity for the return or the stolen property"

PROTECTING ROOSEVELT.
Chum of Presidents Son Gives His
 Version of Attack on Policeman.

Boston, Mass, Oct 11.-Shaun Kel- ley, roommate of Theodore Roosevelt IT. at Harvard, and who, with the lat ter. is said to have been implicated in an alleged assault on Patrolman Law renee Fraher of the Boston police, one night two weeks ago. was put on trial on the charge of assault and battery s1n the municipal court yesterday be- Wore Judge Wentworth. At the con- clusion of the hearing decision was reserved.
 Kelley. who is on bail, was pres- ent in the courtroom with Young Roosevelt, and F. Meredith Blagden, a coxswain of the Harvard crew in the recent race with Cambridge. who was also said to be one of the group of Harvard students on the night in question. Patrolman Fraher. who re- gently released from the City hospital. where he was under treatment for broken nose and other lacerations, was one of the first witnesses to tes- tify for the government He said that no blows were struck. that he ripped up and was injured by falling against a settee
 He was on plain clothes duty that night. the officer testified, and when he saw four young men apparently assault another who seemed to offer no remonstrance he ran up to inter- fere. While chasing one of the young men, he said one of the group, whom he recognized as Kelley, tripped him and he had to give up the chase
 Kelley testified that he thought the presidents son was being attacked in an unwarranted manner by an un- known man. and that he was justified in defending him. Kelley admitted he pushed the officer. but did not trip him. Roosevelt gave brief testimony oorroborating Kelley's version of the affair Lawyer Bangs asked that Kel- lev he discharged, but Judge Went worth wished to consider the case at greater length, and took it under ad visement

Inspector Hedrick says that there are now between 2.000 and 5000 of these pest spots in Chicago With so few excep- tions that they do not affect the total all of them are located in the crowded ghetto district of the West side. where the poorest of Italian and Jew ish families are crowded into the ramshackle two to four-story tenements

Omaha daily bee., 1906-09-16

II must be to the interest OF every
republican in Douglas county who has
party success at heart, and especially
of every republican candidate who
hopes to have a place upon the ticket,
to have a county ticket nominated at
the primary next Tuesday that will
command substantially the undivided
support of all elements OF the party.
To inject into this ticket, forcibly or
otherwise, the name OF any candidate
who carries with him good grounds
for opposition within his own party
ranks means simply to load the ticket
down with a heavy handicap at the
very time when vote-getters rather
than vote-repellers are needed.
1t is betraying no secret to say that
lot of weak timber and yellow dogs
have filed for legislative places on
both sides of the political fence, who,
even IL nominated, could not poll the
votes of their respective parties. Did
there seem to be any danger OF some
of these grafters landing in position,
The Bee would not hesitate to point
them out and expose them, confident
that the decent republicans OF this
county would back it up by drawing
the line sharply against them.
In the interest of harmony The Bee
has been willing to sink personal pref
erences to the extent of recommending
a selection from the list made up as a
combination ticket with the exception
of one name, which no mixture with
harmony medicine can force us to
swallow The nomination of Charles
]. Andersen with his railroad label
would be simply placing milestone
around the necks Of the other candi-
dates. If a scratching match is in
vited at the polls In November no one
can tell who will suffer most by 1t. II
these candidates and their friends re-
gard their own self-interest no less
than the party interest they will see
that Chronic Candidate Andersen is
kept off the ticket.

WEIGHT VS.. MEASURE.

Experience in Chicago under it's
arduous current effort to enforce honest
weights and measures as we'll as pur-
ity and wholesomeness of commodities
In the retail trade shows how wide is
the need of betterment In these homely
everybody's pockets and morals. While
the number and Importance of honest
dealers who give honest measure is
probably greatly underestimated, the
est tradesmen everywhere are exasper-
ating and in the aggregate serious.
Most OF the states, the same as ILL
nois, have by statute long since fixed
the standard of weight for bulky ar
ticles like potatoes and also provided
for 'heaped up or leveled measure ac-
cording as commodities do or do not
pack closely in the measure. But as
the. tendency in large centers of pop
ulation is TO deal in many household
supplies in smaller quantities than the
bushel or other measure which was
formerly suitable and universal, the
chance and practice of fraud is CORE
spondingly multiplied, and the result
Is found to be particularly grievous to
the poorer classes who can least afford
it and who are least capable of pro-
teeting themselves against such rob-
berry,
The chief practical dificulty as to
vegetables. many fruits and other COM
modities arises in large part from the
persistence OF trade custom whose In
fuence both tradesmen and their Gus
toners find II hard to shake OF long
after the original reason for 1t has dis
appeared and after need for different
custom has become obvious. There
is no such complaint of retail frauds
in the Pacific coast cities and wher-
ever the practice is universally estab-
lished by custom or force of statute to
sell such articles by weight instead of
by the bushel, peck. or other measure.
This Is the aim of the movement
now going forward in a great May

THE PRESIDENT AND CUBA.

President Roosevelt's action in the
Cuban emergency, while character
istically prompt and sufficient. is cir
cumspect and cautious, conclusively
meeting the deplorable situation in the
stage 1t has reached. yet taking no
ing of Secretary Taft of the War de-
partment and Acting Secretary Bacon
of the State department to the scene
of disturbance will be accepted at
home and abroad as the sign of de-
termination at once to shirk no re-
sponsibility resting upon our govern
ment by treaty and national interest
and to be in the best position possible
to discharge our duty promptly and
entirely. Meantime every preparation
has been made for Intervention and
any related contingency, and all avail
able alternative courses are kept open
for settlement without resort to inter-
vention II the Cubans will only follow
them.
The presidents solemn appeal to the
Cubans to come to their senses and
stop short of the anarchy which must
infallibly forfeit independence, at least
temporarily by Intervention and pos
sibly permanently by some rigorous
form of protectorate, or otherwise, ex-
presses the sincere American wish for
their good and for us to be spared the
necessity of interference. If the strong
arm of our government shall be out
stretched, 1t could not be made palmer
to the Cubans that 1t is done with
extreme reluctance and only because
they themselves have made 1t unavoid-
able. The presidents course likewise
cannot fail to strengthen the conf
dence of our own country in him and
solidify public sentiment behind him
in this unwelcome emergency.
