BoLETlN lERCANTIL.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-16

The offer and acceptance by the city
Levi Carter of $4,000 to pay for the
acquisition Of a public park around
the old Cut-Off lake makes a hand
some gift which should be gratefully
appreciated by the people Of this city.
Gifts of this kind are often burdened
with conditions that make 1t %questiona-
BILE whether they are real benefactions,
but in this case the conditions seem to
be few and wholly reasonable.
The proposed park Is a natural and
necessary part of the park and boule-
ward system of Omaha and would have
to be acquired at public expense even
tually to round out that system. In
fact proceedings are already we'll I'M
der way to acquire the property, having
been instituted with no idea but that
the bill would have to be paid in the
usual way.
The requirement that the Park board
for a period of FIVE years eXpend upon
its improvement one-ffth of the funds
available for park improvement pur-
poses simply puts the new park on the
same basis as the other established
parks, assuring 1t substantially the
same attention for development as may
be devoted to parks in other sections of
the city.
The ANAL condition, that the new
park be named after the late husband
Of the benefactor, for whom 1t is In
tended as a memorial, is entirely APP
propriate. Even without that condi-
ton in the gift it would be only decent
recognition of the source of the bene-
faction to inscribe over It's entrance the
name of the man without whose work
and thrift the donation could not have
been made.
The people of Omaha, now and In
the future, who may enjoy the beau
ties and opportunities of the Levi Car
ter park should not forget the noble
purposes and the generosity of the i'm
mediate donor, Mrs, Selma C. Carter,
whose name is thus enrolled on the
scroll of our public b~enefactors.

oENrRAL AMERlCA,s TROUBLES.

Those who unanimously acclaimed
the conclusion Of the recent treaties
among the Central American states as
instantly eliminating all trouble or
possibility of trouble from their future
history do not understand the Spanish
apparently Indigenous in that section
of the world and ~rejoicings over the
treaties and the donation by Mr.. Car
negie of 500, 600 for the construction
Of a Central American court of justice
to adjudicate differences between the
toy republics have been suspended
while Salvador and Guatemala indulge
in one Of their regular midsummer
revolutions and make a determined eff
fort to involve their neighbors in the
row.
Costa Rica, Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras and Nicaragua have joined
in the agreement, suggested and nego-
tiated by Secretary Root, by which
they seek to place law on a higher
plane than it has heretofore occupied
in Central America. They have the
same climate. language and resources
and have begun to realize that they
must have a common destiny, Their
progress has been hindered by revolu-
tions and by wars against each other
and the leading men in all five of the
little nations are professedly anxious to
Join in a federation for the common
good, but find it difficult to break
away from old habits. Honduras has
a little outbreak of its own, with a
fine chance that Salvador will join in
the mix-up. The president of Guate-
mala narrowly escaped assassination
through a revolutionary plot, and re-
taliated by putting to death some
thirty OF his enemies. Costa Rica and
Nicaragua have kept free from the
latest outbreaks, but the whole neck
of land connecting the two hemispheres
is seething with the revolutionary
spirit.
The right Of Intervention by the
United States is partially provided for
in he recent treaties and, II ordered,
would be fully warranted by our inter
ests at Panama and throughout the
Central American section, With the
opening Of the Panama canal, n dur
ing its construction. the United States
cannot connive in any disturbance that
would jeopardiEe American interests
For some years Uncle Sam has beer
looked upon as the policeman for
South America and with the develop
ment of American interests in Central
America the policeman will have en-
larged duties to perform.

GALLERY PLAY PUBLiclTr

A most casual examination Of the
resolution for campaign fund publicity
adopted by the democratic national
committee at the request OF the candi-
dates on their presidential ticket will
show that It is a gallery play pure and
simple.
After the republicans had named a
treasurer subject 70 the publicity laws
of New York for the express purpose of
having that law govern the receipt and
expenditure of campaign moneys, there
was nothing left for the democrats but
to follow suit with some sort of effort
to make good their professions of SUI
perior virtue. But the proclamation
made by the democrats is such a trans
parent fraud with such big skinner
holes left for evasion that 1t is not
likely to fool anybody with ordinary
intelligence.
No contributions are to be accepted
whatever from corporations. OF course
not. But they will be accepted from
men who are officers of corporations or
who get their money from corporate
sources, or who serve as substitutes
for the corporation men. With men
like Boss" Murphy, Roger Sullivan
and others publicly denounced by Mr..
Bryan as corporation tools helping to
gather the funds and to direct their ex-
penditure, the corporation odor is not
TO be dksinfected by resolution.
No single contribution is to be re-
ceived over $4,000, nor over 800
without public listing, but contribu-
lions of less than 500 are to be kept
strictly confidential. II a man wants
to ante up $4,000 he will have to put
in his chips in two stacks. If a man
wants his name posted as a self-sacri-
1cing democratic patron he will give
at least 800, whereas If he wants to
keep 1t dark" he will make his dona-
ton 5000, or he may make any num-
Der of donations he may desire, pro-
viding none of them exceed 5000.
Publicity is necessary to insure the
puIG luOLlNVb VI llO luah 6lNOS
800, but entirely unnecessary to ex-
pose the corrupt motives of the man
who gives only $99,99.
Again, the list Of contributions sub
ject to publicity is to be set out to pub
lie light October Is and subsequent
contributions Immediately as received
thereafter. But why wait until Octo-
Der 1.-two weeks before election?
If there is any good reason for pub
licity then, why not now? If the con-
tributions to the democratic campaign
fund were to be juggled or m~isbranded
which, of course, is not to be i'm
agined-what relief could be had or
remedy applied fifteen days before
election?
The Bryanite plan of publicity is q
good gallery play, but it will not stand
publicity.

INDIANAPOLIS News

lnuianApons news,
The gates of Castle Garden" have been
swinging outward In recent months in a
striking way, In 1907 there were 7s9, 74S
alien arrivals and 156. 1872 departures. In
lS0S-the half year-there have been 1885,
66 arrivals and S77,664 departures. Never
before in a whole year did SO many peo-
pie of the laboring class have this coun-
try as left in this half year. More than
this, the immigration adds to the total
effect. 1t was 70 per cent less than a year
ago. And this also breaks the record for
pando effects. The Springfield Republican
quotes the figures for 1898, showing that
the decline in immigration then was from
$4,000 In the fiscal year to June, 1892, to
5@,s in 1888, and from Sl4.467 in 1894, to
279,9 in 1895. So the relative decrease in
those years was less than this year. After
1878 the falling off was about one-half in
the two following years and about two
thirds in three years, Hitherto the greatest
decline was from 7sS.SOO arrivals in 1882 to
$4,000 in 1SS6-a smaller relative shrinkage
than the present year.
Possibly a greater proportion Of recent
immigrants were labor adventures, so to
speak; that is our Astounding prosperity
