proposed by this new association to
limit the number OF foreigners adj
mitted to this copntry and thus limit
the drain of money that Is being sent
back to Europe.
These theorists are on the wrong
tack. Their argument is answered by
a mere statement of the fact that the
immigrants are spending their own
money and have an unquestioned right
to dispose of it as they wish. 1t is
their money, earned by their toll, and
the laws recognize the right of every
mar to get rid Of his wealth as he
pleases. The foreigner is under no
obligation to make an account of his
expenditures. His employer certainly
made a profit on the labor and there
all responsibility of the parties con-
cerned' ceases.
The money sent by foreign workmen
in this country to their old homes is
really an insignificant matter, COM
pared with the millions spent abroad
each year by American tourists. 1t
would be just as sensible, and more
profitable, to urge laws prohibiting
Americans from going abroad and maxi
ing purchases in foreign countries.
This is one Of the economic questions
that must adjust hself and agitation of
it by theoretical reforms can serve no
good purpose.

A COMING OPPORTUNITY.


Nebraska postmasters through their
state organization have endorsed the
recommendations of the preliminary
report of the joint commission on pos
tai service. The sum and substance
of that report is for a thorough re-
vision of P~ostofice department meth
DDS, and particularly for decentraliza-
ton of management. The multitude
nous business of the postofice has be-
come so great with the population
growth of the country and with our
industrial and commercial exp aston
that administration from a single CEN
trail focus has reached a point threat
ening to impair efficiency.
What the joint commission proposes
is to create territorial subdivisions for
all the different branches OF the postal
service with local centers of admins
tration from which only the most im-
portant or controversial matters shall
be taken up to Washington. Each
subdivision would have its own official
head for each branch of the service,
subject only to the general orders of
the postmaster general and his ASSOC
ciates at the national capital. Each
subdivision would do its own account
ing-in fact, would be only a smaller
model Of what the entire Postotlce de-
partment is today.
There is no question that a reor-
ganization Of the postal service more
or less along these lines is bound to
come within a comparatively few
years. When it m time to create
these. postal divisions Omaha wants to
be in readiness to assert its claims
for the headquarters of the division
that will include the territory tribu-
tary to this city. What makes Omaha
the natural headquarters city for the
railroads converging here will make it
the natural headquarters city for post
Office work, for ~postofice inspection,
for rural free delivery, for railway
mail service, for money order account
ing, for distribution of p%ostoffice sup
plies.
The advantages of Omaha in this
connection were emphatically brought
out recently when the creation OF a
railway mail division, with h%eadquar-
tiers here, was under discussion, and
all those reasons and many more will
be forceful when congress determines
on a general postofice reorganization.
A great opportunity is ahead of us and
Omaha must be alive to it at the right
time.

THE great orators have not bsen the

effective talker. He made a speaking tour

TAFT AS A CAMPAIGNER.
Makes Friends of All with Whom He
Comes in Contact.

COAhCa IN
Smell Smith in Leslie's Weekly.
There are few men in either the demo-
cratic or republican parties who make as
good a campaigner as does Secretary Taft,
for the reason that he has no particular
methods; he is simple and natural. To
those who knew him in his college days
he is still big Bill Taft, dignified and
able, yet always a royal good fellow. To
the men who came In contact with him
during the years he served on the bench he
is still the fearless judge, quite as ready
to protect the right under the law of the
weakest man in the community as well as
those of property. but always the same
quiet. unassuming. American gentleman.
To such as have come in close contact with
him In his later career as a benefactor in
carrying out a colonial policy, new and
unique in the history OF the world, and as
the head Of the intricate workings OF a
great governmental department, including
the army, internal waterway improvements
in the United States, Panama canal, Cuba
and the Philippines, he is the astute, clear
minded, constructive diplomat and states
man, who has a marvellous grasp of every
detail and the fullest capacity for making
every such detail an integral part Of a
great policy. And even to these men he
appears as a lONable, kindly nature, whose
rise has not made him one whit lacking in
sympathy for the impulses and aims Of the
common man.
One Of his most attractive characteristic
as a campaigner is the way in which he
appeals TO this common man-the man who
works with his hands to earn a living for
himself and family, and who is, after all,
the most dependable quantity in the ma
tion. These men meet Mr.. Taft every
where be goes. They throng to hear him.
/ nave seen many parties OF them, mem
bers Of organized labor unions. wait to
meet him by appointment. and a few. while
waiting, express criticism Of his attitude
toward them while a judge on the circuit
bench. and nave seen these same men come
away from him, expressing the conviction
tina he had had no horns" that he was a
big whole-soulsd man." that he would do
the fair thing and that, after all, he only
construed the law as he found 1t in grant
ing injunctions during certain strikes
One Of these little meetings was in Column
bus, another was In Council Bluffs, and still
another in Louisville. The men gathered
around him and he talked TO them as
though he were one Of them. and explained
his position I'm matters which interested
them. impressing them with his sincerity
and making them feel that their interests

If those prison labor contractors are
not shrewd enough to know a good

the next Nebraska legislature enacting

prisoners or state account a return to
the contract system will be extremely
unlikely at any future stage OF the

Germania, the principal organ Of the
German Centrist party, referring to the
recent meeting of King Edward and En-
peror Nicholas at Reval, undertakes to ex-
plain why KIM Edward Does Not Visit
Berlin, an explanation which masks an
ironical attack on German militaism.
The paper says: Those who know the
English kings personal habits understand
why he avoids Berlin. His majesty likes
intercourse of a free and easy character
and he dislikes strict formalities. For in
stanct. the English sovereign disllkes the
idea of passing through the Brandenburg
gate, like the white elephant of Slam, and
being greeted by the city fathers and thous-
ands of school children. He also dislikes
the military review and similar pageants
which would be arranged here in his honor
II he paid an official state visit to Berlin.
This prudent monarch, whose clever diplo-
macy has raised Great Britain to an inter-
national position which she hitherto has
never possessed and who has produced this
effect without any external display, dis
likes the pompou customs of the German
court, for he knows how to employ his time
more profitably than in such empty cere-
monies. King Edwards refusal to visit
Berlin must not be construed as an attitude
of unfriendliness toward Germany. but as
a sign of his personal dislike of gorgeous
pageants. which frequently burden those
whom they are intended to honor"
