Keep Sidewalks Clear

Complaint is made that some OF
the storekeepers and business houses
are in the habit of placing boxes,
barrels and other articles of mer-
chandise on the sidewalks in front of
their places OF business. On the side
streets this practice is bad enough,
but on the main thoroughfares it
becomes more or less of nuisance
to pedestrians. An ordinance pro-
hibits the use OF the sidewalks for
such a purpose, but as matter OF
fact the police officers seem reluct-
ant, not unnaturaly, to endeavor to
enforce the city law. In some cases
storekeepers set out things that really
make a pretty show and do not
greatly interfere with passersby, but
on the other hand there are few
who seem to take up half the walk
with their wares. A man walking
along Commercial street the Other
day narrowly escaped being hit by q
falling bedstead that was out on the
sidewalk.

Trenchard yesterday and adjudged
insane 1t was ordered that he be
taken to the state asylum at Salem.
1t was difficult to definitely ascertain
much about Beckman, as he was not

and much that he did say was of a
contradictory nature. DR.. 0. B. Es-
ties made an examination of the man.
1t is probable that Beckman has re-

cations that he has been deranged be-

asylum before, though these facts
could not be learned with any GER

the very commonplace OF sentiment, but Il
holds stlll the truth. Not only the easy

piece Of gold to the leper by the roadside.
but the aims lone today that costs no

without credit in the higher judgment.
But so Is the -extravagant overmore that
characterizes our small domestic and
friendship tokens. The year around we
must give, for as George Calvert says,
Who gives not Is not living 1t is not
for a particular day or season that our
bestowals Of favor are made to brighten
earth; We should be careful to carry on a
sweetness OF heart and openness of hand,
all the time, so that the special Christmas
giving shall not be peculiar. but a natural
outgrowth Of life-such a habitude OF
character as makes our relations with
those near to us absolutely spontaneous,
and this anniversary only the occasion for
a fresher experience of love. Something
more than use must mingle with our Civ.
ing; sentiment, which prompts all good
thii gs, should be choice, and gild even
as with a real aureole Of beauty.
This asks for something deep within the
soul; not the FLIP Of a fashion or the full
fnlment of an obligation. Vital, touching

The ways and means committee at
Washington derived much entertain
ment from the testimony offered by
Andrew Carnegie as to the tariff on
steel products. but the net result will
hardly add to the committees sum
total of knowledge on the subject. The
somewhat detailed press report of the
hearing indicates that Mr.. Carnegie
was In rare good humor and took
keen delight in framing happy cpl
grams on law, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, but that data
about the cost of manufacturing steel
did not trouble his thoughts or dis
turb his flow of amusing converse
tion.
At previous hearings, Mr.. Gary, as
head of the steel trust, and Charles
M. Schwab, one of the great steel
manufacturers. had testified in detail
about the cost of making steel in this
country, prices at home and abroad, the
wages of workmen and all of the fac
tors involved in the conduct of a great
industry. Mr.. Carnegie airily brushed
aside the testimony of these men and
declared that they were interested
parties. He insisted that the steel in
dustry had made such progress hat it
did not need tariff protection and
could compete in the markets of the
world without reducing the wages of
employees.
One significant feature of the steel
kings testimony is his refusal to rec
ognize the existence of any independ-
ent steel manufacturing companies.
He declared, In so many words, that
the United States Steel corporation
bad business so organized and so well
in hand that no independent company,
with less capital and less able manage
ment. could hope to compete success
fully, and that no tariff schedules
could prevent such companies from
final commercial disaster. A touch OF
h0mor is to be found In Mr.. Carnegie's
Omaha daily bee., 1908-12-23
Mr.. z LEADERSHIP

"A Battle Over-the Wal Begun
is the title of Mr.. BryaR's latest adj
dress on political affairs. Its coming
out party seems to have occurred
down in the heart Of Pennsylvania,
where the democratic party is neither
helped nor hurt by political oratory.
The speech is significant chiefly as in
dicating that there is to be a very
large obstacle in the path of the en-
thusiastic democrats who are already
starting out to r~eorganize the party
preparatory to the conflict in 1912.
To these enthusiastic democrats Mr..
Bryan has served notice that leader
ship had come to him without effort
on his own part, and as long as the
party wanted him to continue such
leadership he did not feel that he
could relinquish it at the behest of
those who might be personally inter-
ested In such action on his part"
1t will be observed that Mr.. Bryan's
sense Of humor remains keen. Polit-
ical history since 1896 shows how per-
sistently the party has forced leader
ship upon him without effort on his
own part" This was demonstrated
in st. Louis in 1904, when Mr.. Bryan
simply refused to assume the leader
ship again and pleaded, with tears in
his eyes, for the nomination of Judge
Parker. In 1908 he. even refused to
attend his party's national convention
at Denver, but remained at his Fair
view home and did not have a thing
to do with the proceedings of the con-
vention except to reject delegates he
did not like, name all the committees,
select his running mate, write the
platform and fix the time limit for the
noise demonstrations in his honor.
Mr.. Bryan's assertion that MI. Taft
had been elected by a combination Of
financial, commercial and industrial in
~terests and that he (Mr. Bryan would
rather remain a private citizen than
be president and be s%ubservient to
these interests, "as Mr.. Taft must be
under the conditions that elected
him." is almost as humorous as his
p~retense that he has done nothing to
secure or retain his party's leadership.
But the real significance Of the ad-
dress lies in the notice to Mr.. Mack.
Colonel Watterson, Editor Hemphill,
Martin w. Littleton, Judge Parker
and other democrats of the east and
south that they may abandon theil
plans of putting Governor Harmon Of
Ohio, Governor Marshall of Indiana
and Governor Johnson Of Minnesota
through the trial heats for the purpose
Of picking an entry for the 1912 presi
dental handicap.
Every democrat mentioned now o.
hereafter as a presidential possibilit!
may consider himself included in thu
list Of 'those who might be PERSONAL!
interested" by Mr.. Bryan's retiremen
from the democratic leadership and Il
all such he makes it plain that he ha
no intention to get out of the way.
