A Bad Precedent.

The World-Heral is unable to see any
thing in the occupation tax question to
Justify the city council in going back to
the discredited and dangerous star cham
Der habit. 1t is a bad precedent. The
best way, and the safest way, both for the
public and the good name of the officials,
is to transact public business in the OPEN
World Herald.
We think so, too, but would not
direct our protest simply against the
city council, which has not offended
very often in this respect. We have,
however, a Water board which does
all of its business in star chamber,
voting the peoples money away, right
and left, to high-priced lawyers who
have done nothing for it but get the
city involved in expensive litigation.
The star chamber sessions Of the
Water board have been a scandal for
six years, but not a word derogatory
to that board from the World-Herald.
II secret conclaves for public business
are bad for the city council, they de-
serve just as vigorous condemnation
when perpetrated by the Water board.

The Democratic Rnnco Game.

The democratic slogan, Let the
people rule is having an illustrated
object lesson right now The activi-
ties of the local democratic machine
to save the rank and file of the party
from the necessity of choosing their
own candidates are thinly dis
guised. In spite of the direct
primary law which the late dem-pop
legislature enacted, under which every
voter was to have a free and untram-
meled voice in the makeup Of party
tickets, the democratic bosses are set
ting up pins and patching up states
without even waiting 10 find out who
may aspire to the respective offices, or
giving consideration to anybody ex-
cepting to those who run with the ma
chine. The Let the people rule"
motto is plainly for public consump-
ton, and serves as a good watch
word so long as the democratic bosses
have their own way.
What is happening here In refer
ence to foisting candidates on the
democratic local ticket has, we have
no doubt, been happening also with
reference to the state ticket, and
when the curtain drops on the
primary filings we will doubtless find
that under cover of the noise about
nonpartisanship, precisely the re-
quisite number of demo-pop candi-
dates will have been listed for every
office to be filled by the voters at
large at the election in Nebraska this
yrar.
Some Of the people may want to
be fooled, but no n who does not
want to be fooled, should be misled
by this democratic bunco game.

Correcting Exchange Abuses.

The report of the Hughes commits
sion on speculation and the operation
Of commercial exchanges is producing
results already in spite of the fact that
the radicals denounced 1t as a mean
ingless document. The New York
Metal exchange has decided to correct
the abuses pointed out by the COM
mission and other similar organiza-
tions n taking steps In the same di-
rection. In the past the metal quota
lions have been made up by an ex-
change committee and the published
market was simply the committee
view of what prices should be instead
OF the actual record of offers and
sales, with which they did not always
correspond. The commission crlti-
cised this system severely and the pub
licity given the report and discussion
following has forced the exchange to
adopt q different method.
Exchanges are supposed to be
places where buyer and seller meet
and the market is the result of that
meeting. Whenever It ceases to be
such the exchange has no more right
to exist than any other gambling es-
adjustment where the uninitiated are
lured and f1eeced. The publication of
the metal exchange system brought
out the fact that the Chicago Butter
exchange was operated on the same
principle, and as the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys are the greatest but
reproducing sections Of the country
the report Of the Hughes commission
has a direct bearing for us. Selling
our products against a fictitious mar
ket is a dangerous game and fur
nishes the best argument for making
the market where the product
originates by bringing the buyer to
that market. as has been done with
many farm products.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

Georgia is likely to be the first state to
act on the proposed sixteenth amendment.
A fund Of $3.50, 900 collected from near
beer permits, saved the saloons of Georgia
from bankruptcy. 1t was the only money
in the state treasury available for the pay
roll.
Meme, the Eskimo boy, has at last been
permitted to start for the Arctic regions,
from which he was virtually kidnapped in
infancy by Peary. He declares that he
will beat Peary yet. Probably this means
that he will get to the north pole first.
Governor Brown Of Georgia is doing some
quaint stunts for the edification OF his
friends. He drinks water out OF a gourd
In the state capital, wears blue jeans
clothes, says "Howdy' when he greets a
visitor, and in other ways shows that he is
one Of the very plain ~peepul."
In an order Issued 10 the officials of the
different state institutions of Kansas,
Governor Stubs says the state will not

desiring appetizing food must pay for It

enough for the officers and employees it is
not good enough for growing children and
invalids in the Institutions. II the officers
cannot live on food the state furnishes it's
wards they should pay for their own provl-
sions."

areas now classed as forest contains
but a farction of the timber that once
stood upon them. Careful surveys
show hat while the forests Of the
northern states have been reduced to
so per cent Of their former area, they
nov contain but 80 per cent Of their
original stand of timber; the southern
states contain IS per cent of their
original forest area and SO per cent
of the amount of timber, while the
central states contain but 46 per cent
of the former forest area and only 81
per cent of the original standing tim
Der. The Rocky mountain and Pa
cihc coast sections have not been so
long subject to the lumberman's x
and make a much better showing, but
even there the reduction is apparent.
The principal indictment against
the big lumberman is not only that
the land is stripped of its large trees,
but is left in such shape that it is a
prey to forest fires and reforestation
within a reasonable time becomes an
impossibility. Not only the large
trees are cut, but the young growth
is recklessly destroyed. 1t is against
such methods that the forestry bu-
reau protests and the public COM
plains.

Waiting on Tariff Bill.

with the tariff bill out Of the way
It is the opinion Of James J. Hill that
the country will enter upon an era Of
prosperity as great, II not greater,
than that which preceded the panic
Of 1907. He bases his judgment
largely upon his observations Of the
good crops and evidences Of business
activity in the west. Whatever may
be thought of James J. Hill on other
points, none will deny that he is n
Of the shrewdest observers in the
world. No one sees conditions or
grssps their import quicker or more
accurately than he, and such declara-
lions should be an incentive to remove
speedily all stumbling blocks in the
of complete business and indus
trial revival.
Mr.. Hills method of sizing up BUSH
ness conditions appeals to reason
Freight movements are not the cause
of business, but they are an undeni-
able measure CT its existence. Long
strings Of idle freight cars following
the panic were mute reminders of
business stagnation. Most of the cars
have been put to work and all rail-
roads have put every available piece
Of equipment in condition for service.
Mr.. Hill insists that freight cars will
be at a premium when the crops be-
gin to move and the created wealth of
the grain they contain, with the in
cubus removed from trade, will start
every other wheel to turning. Mr..
Hills prediction is a comforting one
and 1t is all the more so because con-
ditions within the vision of each Of us
seem to bear them out.

Misleading Forestry Talk.

The declaration recently by Fred
eTick Weyerhaeuser, the greatest tim
Der baron in the country, that the
American forests are inexhaustible has
provoked a challenge from the for
estry service. Mr.. Weyerhaeuser has
piled up a fortune estimated by some
to be larger even than Rockefeller's

and is today the largest owner Of tim

able lumber supplies were not being
exhausted he, as a shrewd business
man, would not tie up millions of dol
lars in timber holdings, which he does
not need, for numbering for years to
come. II is the decreasing supply in
its relation to the demand which the
lumberman depends upon to enhance
the value Of his holdings and make
him a profit.
The federal forestry bureau, how
ever, furnishes incontrovertible hg-
ures to show that forest areas are de-
creasing. Originally there were $780,
900, 900 acres of forest area in the
United States and this has been re-
duced to $4,000 900. The reduction
in forest area is not the most startling

Live Stock Mems Convention.

The annual meeting of the National
Live Stock exchange at Denver prom
ises to be beneficial to men interested
in the industry, though 80 far as APP
pears at present 1t has no problems
to meet so important or perplexing as
have confronted the body in the past.
The cattle growers and the sheepmen,
whose controversies have enlivened
former conventions, may have some
differences, but they have fought out
their battles sufficiently to find some
common ground and are more In
clined to work In harmony for the
common good.
A wonderful transformation has
taken place in the live stock industry
Of the west in comparatively recent
years and the development Of agricul-
ture is forcing still further changes,
and these conventions have done much
to help the readjustment and also to
advance the interests of the stock
growers. Here buyer and seller meet
and many past Misunderstanding
have been threshed out. The live
stock industry is a vital one to this
state and section, whose people hope
that the present convention will be
more fruitful Of good results even than
its predecessors.

Regulating Morals by the Clock.

Isn't 1t perfectly marvellous how a certain
act may be legal until the clock strikes
and a crime thereafter? There is piano
playing, for instance. In the city of Wash
ington anybody who pleases may bang on
a piano until midnight without interference,
but as soon as the clock strikes IL piano
playing becomes a crime, and the player is
liable to be marched off to Jail and locked
up. To our mind, nine-tenths OF all piano
banging is criminality, no matter at what
time 1t takes place; yet we fail to under
stand why banging at 11:59 p. m. is less
reprehenslble than similar banging at 1901
