THE NAVR'S ADVERTISING LESSON.
The Navy department at Washington
has finally learned, although the
process has been tardy, that the news
paper is the best advertising me%ium.
The department has decided to abAn-
don billboard advertising and discon-
tinue the huge colored posters that have
been plastered over vacant walls
years. The department has decided
wisely that 1t can best reach the class
of young men wanted for naval service
through the space in the newspapers.
Since the enlargement of the navy
after the Spanish-American war there
has been constant demand for recruits
for that branch Of the government serv-
ice Difficulty has been experienced in
securing men sufficient to equip prop
erly the new battleships with crews
and the department has been using
respondent designs of a marvellous ship
on a wonderful ocean to attract the at
tention and arouse the enthusiasm of
possible seamen, but with results far
from satisfactory. The recruits Sc
cured by this method have been, as a
rule, the shiftless young fellows at
tracted by such gaudy displays and
they have been failures in the navy
service. The department wants high
grade young men and has now con-
cluded that 1t viii find them among the
readers Of newspapers.
The Navy department is to be con-
graduated upon it's accession to the
ranks Of intelligent advertisers.

A ooNrRAsr IN MURDER rAiAEF

a CONTRAST IN MURDER TRIALS.
The American public, at first satlated
and then nauseated with details Of the
Thaw trial, will find refreshing relief
in contrasting the conduct Of that case
with the trial of Rayner, just convicted
and sentenced to death for the murder
of a merchant prince in London.
The Rayner case was most seusa-
tional and contained as much material
for the development of emotional as
poets as have been shown in the Thaw
trial Hints of a double life" on the
part Of the victim. mystery as, to the
connections Of the murderer, a train Of
scandal that threatened to involve
members IF high society and all the
elements of a melodramatic perform
ance in court were at hand. but the
presiding judge refused to allow their
admission as evidence Two hours were
consumed in securing a jury and all the
testimony was submitted in one day.
The jury was out nine hours and
prompt imposition Of the death penalty
followed the return Of verdict of
guilty. There was no appeal to'or hint
of the ''unwritten law" no barring Of
the life secrets of the parties to the
crime, no flock Of high-priced alienists
with purchased opinion, nothing but a
strict adherence to the business of as
certaining the facts in the case. Since
the decision there has been no hint that
Justice miscarried.
The different modes of administering
the law here and abroad are noticed in
the statistics of crime There were
twenty-four homicides in London last
year, as compared with 1876 in Chicago,
Nhich has less than half the population
and about half the area Of London.
Murders are rare in England, number
ing less than 1000 year, as compared
with over 5000 annually I'm this coun-
try. England uses swift, certain and
unrelenting methods in the prosecution
Of homicides. The American system Of
prosecution is defective, inadequate and
demoralizing.

ErONOMY

While redeeming the platform pledges
members Of the legislature Of all par
ties should remember that they are
committed to a policy Of close economy
in the appropriations for state institu-
tions and departments Of government
The republican platform holds out an
assurance for raising only such rev.
enue as is needed to meet the current
expenses Of our state government under
the most rigid economy" and the demo
cratic platform promises, such relief
from tax burdens as may be possible
by economy in state government and
equalization of assessments"
Brought down to brass tacks, the
amount Of money which must be raised
by the state levy depends entirely upon
the amount of money appropriated by
the legislature. 1t is not the rate of
the levy, but the amount of money APP
propriated that must be figured on. The
law now fixes a maximum Of . mills for
the state general fund, with no require
ment however, that the maximum be
levied, and, in fact, the rate is now
and has been less than the 5-mill maxi
mum.
If the revenue available under exist
ing limits were insufficient to meet abso-
lutely needed acquisitions the change
of the tax limit would be justified, but
whether the tax limit is raised or not,
every appropriation should be kept
down to strict requirements of each
case and the state Board Of Assessment
left free to reduce the levy as far below
the maximum as cqnditions will per
NIT
Ordinarily a growing state, enjoying
bountiful prosperity, would be expected
to respond reasonably to the demand for
larger appropriations, but Nebraska is
still burdened with a floating debt
largely In excess of what the constitu
ton allows and It will take two or three
years yet before this debt will be paid
off While trying to get out from under
this burden Of debt, it is important that
no new overlaps be created and no ex-
travagances or luxuries be INDUCED

UNDER WHICH FLAG, BEzoSLA N,

UNDER WHICH FLAG, B EzOHLANf"
Experts viewing the political field
and forecasting the lineup for next
years presidential campaign may not
be able to see any democratic candidate
available except Mr.. Bryan, but notice
is being served by venerable, although
vigorous, gentleman down at Princeton
that there is a decided lack of unan-
unity In the party on the issue TO be
labeled as paramount" In the coming
contest. Mr.. Bryan shrewdly watch
ing the developments in the word war
over transportation problems, has taken
courage and renewed his talk of "ulti-
mate federal ownership of railroads."
the suggestion Of which by him on his
return from his tour of the world gave
the democratic party Of the nation a
cold bath, from which many of it's men,
beers have not yet felt the glow of re-
action. Mr. Bryan apparently feels that
the public sentiment, aroused by the
doings at Washington and In state leg
islatures in the way Of railway rate
laws, is ripe for drift to his govern
ment ownership idea. But Grover
Cleveland has taken advantage OF the
opportunity to file a minority report
Mr.. Cleveland contends that the dem
ocrats, If they wish again to secure con-
troll OF government affairs and get back
into the good graces Of the people,
should lose no time in bringing TO the
front the issue Of tariff reform and TO
cusing the attention of the country upon
It." He is confident that a campaign
on this Issue will clarity the atmos-
phere, sOlidlfy the friends OF democracy
and bring victory" Mr.. Cleveland's
declaration serves notice that the dem
ocrats win have their regular quadri-
ennial fight for an issue, with the fac
tons divided as seriously ON that prop
osition as they have been In the past.
The party always has had difficulty in
keeping an issue alive until It became
4-year-Old. Mr.. Cleveland has been
almost alone in keeping that Issue alive
for HIS party while the rank and file
were following Mr.. Bryan into the free
silver, antiimperialism and other
camps, Today Mr.. Cleveland has the
support OF John sharp Williams and a
few minor leaders who want the tariff
issue revived and pushed forward In
the next battle but a majority Of the
party win doubtless elect to follow Mr.
Bryan IN his determination to make
railway ownership the paramount issue

Ian Maclaren cites Beaconsheld and
Gladstone as examples 10 show that men
devoid OF a sense OF humor succeed IN
political life more frequently than those
blessed with that attribute. We are moi
so certain that the careers Of the rivals

despite OF the fact that he had the most
biting wit Of his generation. Gladstone
was the greater orator, Beaconsheld the
greater man; Gladstone was the better
man. .Beaconsheld the more capable states

Marlborough and Peterborough would

Thomas B. Reed and William Mckinley

A bill to bar members of the Omaha
Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers from becoming candidates for
other offices while serving in that
capacity has been killed on state
ment by Senator Saunders that with
the prospective change in the per-
sonnet of the board II will not be
needed. The bill was drawn to pre-
vent a repetition of such perversions of
the fire and police departments in the
interest of political aspirations of police
board members, as we have had several
times. and whether needed or not for
the next board, it would have had a
salutary and reassuring effect.

Millions for Distribution In ouarterI,
Dividends.

Minneapolis Journal.
Following the big decline In stocks that
have carried prices down successfully day
after day. comes the statement Of the
April dividend disbursements Of the great
railroad and Industrial coyporat!ons The
total will exceed $50 100000 and win break
all records for a similar period.
Here is a thing to look at with salts
faction. We have seen prices or stocks
decline heavily and have heard OF immense
losses incurred. But these were losses
OF the profits represented by the selling
prices in a high market. on the basis Of
what they produce stocks are worth today
more than they were year ago In April
1906 the total In dividends was S666OO0OO.
The increase will be close to S12600000.
That much more money win so out to
holders Of stocks than went out to the
same holders year ago.
The industrials will increase their dlvi-
dend payments by about S5,5OO,OOO. the rail-
ways by 100000 and the street rail-
ways by $4,000. These figures are ap.
proximate and will be slightly modified
when reports in detail are all In.
This does not look as II there were any
real suffering among the holders Of stocks.
It is a good thing to remember at this time.
The true measure of the value Of a security
Is what II produces, rather than what Il
may be selling for in a speculative market
on that basis Of measurement prosperity
and not recession would appear to be in-
dicated by the figures

Mr.. Browne, first vice president of the
New York Central railway, is credited
with having said that the whole duty of
railways and OF the people lie comprised in
securing frank publicity and openness in
all transactions by either railways OF peo-
pie which may AFFECT the other and the
maintenance OF absolute equality In rates
and all business between them, with spe-
