Auto Shedding.

With the advent of the flowers that
bloom in the spring, the automobiles
are blossoming out in Omaha in un-
p~recedented numbers and the mania
for dangerous speeding through the
crowded city streets is again being
manifested in the most aggravated
form. Some of the old offenders are
resuming operations and the ambition
of the possessor of a new machine
seems to be to Guido the experienced
scorchers.
The season is yet young and the
number of accidents small, but unless
a brake is put IN auto speeding in
Omaha our list OF casualties will be
something appalling before many
months roll around. The speed limit
fixed by our ordinances is now alto
gether too high and ought to be cut
down and then be strictly enforced.
II the auto speeders will not them
selves help eradicate this evil other
people who have some rights in the
streets may be forced to extreme
measures.

Vale Abdul Hamid.

With the forced abdication OF the
Turkish sultan. Abdul Hamid, passes
permanently, in all probability from
public life, one OF the most remark
able men OF his time. All humanity
will hope that with him goes a state Of
affairs which no one less resourceful
could have perpetuated so long. He
has lived up to the reputation Of his
predecessors on the Ottoman throne
for cruelty and oppression and in spite
OF the united protests OF the civilized
world has pursued his career with no
serious checks until the leaven OF en-
lightenment performed its work
through the medium of his own peo-
pie.
Under the absolutism which has
prevailed in Turkey under Abdul
Hamid II would be too much to ex-
pect that his successor could do much
toward the uplift OF his country, for
he has been a prisoner within palace
walls for twenty-five years and out of
touch with the world. The real future
OF Turkey lies in the progressive ele-
ment which has broken down the bar
riers Of prejudice and opened the
doors OF liberty and progress to a
d~owntrodden and oppressed people.
The evolution Of a nation cannot be
accomplished in a day or q year. The
atrocities born of fanaticism and
ignorance cannot be stopped by the
mere deposition of the old sultan, but
the revolution, II it maintains Itself,
will have opened the door to modern
thought and progress and the chance
at least is offered to the people of Tur-
key to catch the step of the twentieth
century

Pratt for CITY Attorney.

Everybody knows that the present
city attorneyship fell to the present
incumbent three years ago purely by
accident. Had anybody had any notion
that the democratic candidate would
win out there would have been real
competition between the strong law
yers on the democratic side of the
fence.
The voters now have an opportunity
TO replace the accidental city attorney
with a lawyer Of professional standing
and ability by giving their preference
to Nelson c. Pratt, who is running for
that Office as the republican nominee.
Mr.. Pratt will be able to look after the
city's legal affairs and direct his sub
ordinates in the law department for
himself and give sound advice to the
different city officials who need guild
ance as to their authority and duties.
The city of Omaha, as a municipal
corporation, represents property values
a~ggregating $3.50. OO0, 200, with an in
come and outgo exceeding 81. 900, 600
annually, and should command the
best legal talent that the salary at
taching to the city attorneyship will
command. Strictly as a business
proposition, Mr.. Pratt should be
elected CITY attorney.

The Spirit of Appomattox.

President Taft took occasion at the
Union League club banquet at Phila-
delphia to reiterate his belief that the
time was opportune to bring about a
change in political conditions In the
south, and also that he appreciated
the fact that opposition was to be ex-
pected from those who in a political
way reap a beneht from the continued
dominance of se~ctionalism. In maxi
ing his announcement he gave credit
for the idea to two men who in their
day we're the idols of north and south
and whose memory is now cherished
on both sides of Mason and DiXon's
line-Grant and Lee. Gifted by a
foresight and a genuine patriotism in
advance of their day, these two lead
ers of the great struggle foresaw that
it's termination should have been the
settlement OF the controversy, but 1t
has taken two generations to educate
the people to the point of seeing
clearly what they then perceived.
Time has efaced the bitterness of
that titanic struggle, and If Mr.. Taft
can bring about the complete oblitera-
ton of sectional lines be will have per-
formed a service scarcely less valuable
to his country han did the military
genius OF Grant in his day.
Mr.. Taft was careful to point out
that 1T is o desirable that there
should be unanimity Of political
thought among the people of he ma
ton, but that no geographical bound
airy should ~dlferentiate political
thought. Just at present, when there
are no great issues which stir the pas
sions OF the people, such a division is
not 80 harmful, but with the advent
of differences Of a more exciting ma
ture sectional solidarity presents ele-
ments OF grave danger. Now that the
national spirit embraces the length
and breadth OF the land. why should
not our political ideas be as uni
versally diffused?
With Mr.. Taft's administration the
spirit of A~ppomattoX promises to come
to fun fruition.

II the Mothers day resolution introduced
in the Minnesota legislature by an auda-
cious imitator of the Hon. Elmer Jacob
Burkett ever reaches Governor johnson we
shall be curious to see what that good son
and sensible man does with it.

brate their debt to il, which Representative

the senate fell upon the Tupperian Burkett
with sarcasms so crude and rasping that
he literally howled for mercy. Some
senators were visibly hurt by the imputa-
ton that they did not think enough of
their mothers and to prove themselves
good sons they paid unfsltering tributes
to their fathers. too, Was 1t not that ex-
cellent man Mr.. Teller who quoted Beau

in the lapels of elderly senators on the
Sunday in question and doubtless the Hon.
Elmer Jacob Burkett learned the lesson
not to give his seniors kindergarten in

The Minnesota resolution is not floral,
| but festival-that is TO say, 1t dedicates a
! fixed and entire day to liquidating the
debt that Minnesotans owe to their

Seeing a New Leader.

Governor Johnson of Minnesota,
through his friends, is already placing
himself in line for the democratic
presidential nomination In 1912. On
every hand is the evidence democracy
has tired OF following the leadership
and dlctation of Bryan. who has prac-
tically dominated its affairs ever since
1895. The east has never been
friendly to him, but through the iniu-
ence of the northwest and the south
he has been the paramount" figure of
the party. The early announcement of
the johnson candidacy canno be con
sidered seriously except as an indica-
ton of the determination to take time
by the forelock and forestall Mr..
Bryan's leadership in the northwest.
So far as the south is concerned,
Governor Smith of Georgia, in a re-
cent address at Buffalo, gave voice to
the sentiment of that section. In COM
menting on that speech the Nashville
American says:
Nothing short OF a political revolution
would place MIN In the Whlte House
and while we have never imagined that
the democrats would never elect another
president, we have been convinced since
1896 that MIR. Bryan could not reach the
goal.
Democracy has honored Mr.. Bryan with
three nominations; 1t has followed him
Loyalty and Enthusiastically. more So in
1896 and 1908 than in 1900, but IL has
been long since realized by democrats
who observe the trend of political senti-
ment that any possibility of his election
Is hopeless.
Such evidences as these are not
likely to have any effect on the cheer
full optimism or ambition of Mr..
Bryan, but to the disinterested they
point Enthusiastically to his effacement
as the central figure of the democratic
party.

monial for the medical properties Of the
Nick Carter dime novels.
The mayor has been suffering from an
attack Of the grip for several days, but has
remained at his desk. He found that the
combination of the malady and his work
necessitated radical measures for mental
relaxation, and hit upon the idea of spend
ing a few hours each day with a volume
Of Nick Carter. He found the experiment
to surrass his fondest expectations, and
told his friends about II.

Baltimore American.
Have Americans become wheat s,sves9
The question bids fair to nave testing I'm
the present emergency of that much util-
lied product of the western range. Il is a
serious question in several aspects. II the
myriads Of China had not specialized on
rice there might not today be a yellow
peril, for II is we'll understood that the
food stuffs Of a people give them their race
characteristics. II the Irish did not live on
potatoes-well, II might be invidious to
point out the particular characteristic OF
the Isle of the Eriners that would have
been lacking. II the Scotch had not spe-
ciaIlzed upon Cruel they certainly would
not have been noted for canniness and
Bruce and Wallace might not have been
in the list OF their heroes.
The versatility of the American tyne is
not q little due to the failure OF a people
possessing food opulence to specialize upon
any one ingredient. But the tendency has
been toward wheat, with all the perils that
oeset dependence upon some one predomi-
nant form Of food stuff. The slaves OF the
cereal should strike for their liberties at
this suspicious hour. When the much used
grain that has been a favorite subject for
monopoly from the time of Joseph in Egypt
is being held for all kind of rises by the
Chicago operator, 1t is suggested that the
people allow him to eat his wheat himself.
Graham bread and Cruel, with Indian
meal and corn flappers. hot pone and
hominy grits are but a few OF the reliefs
open to those who In the spirit OF their
revolutionary forbears rebel against unjust
taxation of a favorite food stuff. An all
American revolt from the bondage to wheat
would bring that cereal Town with a Jolt
to the spectators and cause the gamblers
In the commodity TO beg the public TO take
II off their hands at any price. The plan is
worth a trial. Who will join the all-Amer-
lean Anti-Wheat Slave league? Some TO-
OO, 200 or 5 100000 enrolled would do the trick
for wheat and introduce the American peo-
pie TO more wholesome and no less nutritive
cereals. The ball has already been set
rolling In New York.

Public Rights in Private Property.


The supreme court OF Maine has
handed down a decision which, il gen.
orally accepted. is destined to play a
large part in the future of the coun-
try. II involves the cutting of timber
on private land and the court has held
that the undisputed owner of the prop
erty does not have the right to denude
il of timber and leave the watershed
bare. Such a policy, announced and
enforced nifty years ago, would have
beer the solution of some of the most
vital problems of the present day, but
IL evidently required the object lesson
of necessity t illumine the judicial
mind and create a sentiment to uphold
such a declaration.
The decision, it is true, only ex-
tends the application of long recog-
nized principles of law which found
their hrst voice in the right of eminent
domain and is the outgrowth of the
universally recognized fact that as
population becomes more dense and

Carrie Nation Retires.

That there was method in the mad
ness of Carrie Nation is now apparent,
II there we're ver any inclined to
doubt It. The apostle OF temperance
whose trademark al q Ratchet and
whose sign manual was a broken bar

by the sale of souvenirs to buy a fruit

point where 1t no longer pays, she is

Carrie was the product of the days
when there was really something the
matter with Kansas, which evolved
w~hiskered and sockless statesmen,
freak legislation and Carrie Nation as
an anti-climax. Kansas has recovered
and its staple crops of the present day
are wheat, corn. cement and natural
gas. The state has become too tame
for the Ratchet wielder, and what
more natural than that when going
into retirement she should settle in
Arkansas, where Senator JEFF Davis
