loses an opportunity to sound a warning
concerning our prolisste habits in. the

President Roosevelt, he made a most inn
pressive protest against the reckless

ness Of the soil. In his speech before the

The idea that we feed the world is

The President.

The people Of Omaha, and Nebraska,
extend hearty greeting to the president
on his visit to this city and state.
Even though the program, for the
short time to be spent with as, does
not permit OF any very widespread
popular demonstration, the president
may rest assured Of the cotdial esteem
and hearty good win Of the people of
the whole commonwealth.
This friendly sentiment is not only
a tribute to the high office which he
fills, as chief executive OF the nation,
but also an appreciation OF the admir-
able personal qualities of the man who
occupies the office.
Mr.. Taft is recognized universally as
a w~hole-souled, open-minded. broad
gagged first citizen OF the land, con-
siderate Of the needs and desires of
every section OF the country, and ready
at all times to take fully into his conf
dence the people whose affairs he is
e~ndeavoring to administer in the way
they would have them conducted. Mi.
Taft's personality presents such like
able qualities tina It everywhere i'm
spires confidence and commands ad-
miration.
The people of Omaha, and Nebraska,
join with those of all of the other COM
munities in which he will visit on his
present journey of magnificent dis
tances, with greetings and best wishes.

Street Car Mems Troubles.

Omaha may be up against a pro-
tracted street car employees strike, al
though our people are in no humor
for II.
The public generally who depend on
street car service have to put up con
stantly with a lot OF things, from both
the company and the employees, that
they may have a right to complain of,
and they have an idea that the public
convenience ought o be one of the
controlling factors in the relations be-
tween the street railway company and
street railway men.
Omaha has its busy season immedi-
ateiy In front Of It.
Building activity is at its height and
fan trade is growing brisker,
The Ak-Sar-Ben festivities are ap-
preaching, when the city will entertain
large numbers Of out-of-town visitors,
for whose comfort it is expected to pro-
vide. T."
So far as the statements of both
sides to the controversy nothing is dis

Broken Battle Line.

The three-time candidate is old
enough to display to his democratic
followers the earnestness of conviction
and the seriousness of study proper to-
the consideration of a political subject.
which lies at the very center of party
struggles. Does the recent Bryan
article, "A Tariff ~Battls-Liues possess
these attributes? DoshOt the people of
the country know too much to be in
fluenced by superficial, hasty, hastings
assertions.
1t was about, exactly, we believe the
independence that Adam Smiths
Wealth of Nations was published.
From that time to this the tariff, In,
theory and practice, has been discussed
every year in every civilized nation.
Scarcely a budget has been proposed by
a minister of finance in Europe or the
Americas which has not p~recipitated
a debate on tariffs, in their revenue
aspects and in their incidental. or de-
ltberate effects in protecting industry.
\ In this country It was one Of the fore
most questions in the conventions. ma
tionAT and state, leading to the federal
constitution. 1t was aHconstant topic
of political debate under the early
presidents and has never ceased to be
such a topic up to the present. No dis
puted question is so familiar TO we'll
read men, even to men who stop their
reading with a daily paper. 1t would
not. be supposed that an ambitious
leader. would risk saying on the tariff
Vulnerable things. Yet this great party
generalissimo issues a detailed order
which If taken up would insure party
defeat from the moment men of plain
information look at its meaning,

Mr.. Bryan denounces the ,despotism

personal favoritism. But how to per-

Here is a straightforward remark from

since he opened his batteries on Dr.. Cook.
When asked by the newspaper correspond
ents at Battle Harbor why he took no
white man with him on his final dash for

rhe honor FOR myselff'i a privilege that
he declined to share with his associates

bined profound scholarship with sound
judgment and shrewd insight into
things of the world. He inspired the
greatest of all biographies and helped
t o develop the first talents OF his
period.
J%ohnson's enormous drinking of tea,
his greedy consumption of beef and
pudding, his journeys into Scotland,
Wales and France and his acquaintance
with Miss Burney and Mrs. Thrale are
chapters in the history of England.
II may be that the rough, bold, un-
conventional Londoner holds no charm
for the people of our generation. II the
reminder that he was born in the year
1903 awakens a cult for Johnson and
his times, a decided benefit will be
conferred on the expansion of mind in
the first quarter of the twentieth
