Of dissipation If lucky enough to run the
gantlet Of creditors anxiously watching his
matrimonial campaign.
Even IL the man in this latest case had
proven to be a genuine Italian noblernan.
the bride would have Cbtalned in exchange

pensation for her sacrifice. she would have
had access &c a-few more houacs To Europe
than though she had gone abroad wl;h an
American husband. She could have tad as
guests at her entertainment an occasional
man or woman Of resounding title and pos
sibly of shady morals. She would perhaps
have been received at court With a little
more consideration than though she hut

the chances of a divorce with a scandal

Renort on Tobacco Trust.

The preliminary report of the
bureau OF corporations on the Amer
lean Tobacco company contains some
interesting information, but read be-
tween the lines, supports rumors
which lead to the conclusion it does
not tell all that the bureau has learned.
The information submitted to con-
gress disclcses no ground for prosecu-
tons under the antitrust law, al
though it is quite possible such facts
may have been submitted to tho De-
partment of Justice for verification
and action.
Investigation shows that the COM
pany controls three-fourths of the to-
bacco trade of the United States eXclu-
sive of cigars, and possesses a power
which might easily be abused. 1t is
shown, for example, that the repeal of
the wal taxes on manufactured tobacco
increased the net profits of the COM
pany several million dollars, the gov
eminent abating its revenue and the
consuming public being charged on the
old basis. If repeating the war taxes
served only to increase the profits of
the big tobacco company congress may
turn that way again for revenue to
wipe out a treasury deficit.
The most significant feature of he
report is the entire absence of COM
ment on the methods by which the
company has secured such a command
ing position in the tobacco trade. 1t
treats slightly IN the colossal capital
%ization, indicating a belief that 1t is
not all legitimate. II prosecutions are
contemplated the features passed over
would be pertinent, consequently color
is lent to rumors that the Department
Of Justice is contemplating some move
against the company.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-08

sharp turn and those who incline to be
captious can spare themselves the
trouble. II is an impossibility for one
of Mr.. R%oosevelt's temperament to pro-
coed along Taft lines and just as un-
natural for Mr.. Taft to follow Roose-
welt methods. This does not preclude
both having the same goal or argue
that one method is more effective than
the other. What the public desires is
results and Mr.. Taft has never yet
failed in any great undertaking or
turned back when once headed right.
Confidence was expressed by Mr.. Mac
Veagh that revision Of the tariff would
be accomplished along satisfactory
lines and his definition of ''satisfac-
tory lines" is significant:
The main point was to satisfy the middle
west The demand for tariff revision is
not for a radical and impracticable re-
d~uction. because everybody understands
that the republican party stands for pro-
lection. II is talking against the wind to
argue that the revision expected is not
a revision downward and II would be
equally futile to say that the revision
down was promised to be a revision down
and out.
h address of the secretary of the
treasury is most ~reassuring to the
friends Of the administration, but con.
tains no comfort for it's enemies.

OMAHA IN THE LIMELIGHT.

Columbus Journal: Abusing Omaha will
not create a sentiment in that city for
Columbus es the seat Of the state govern
ment.
Pierce Leader: Some people think that
the cowboy mayor OF Omaha Will be a
strong candidate for governor in 1910. For.
get him.
Beatrice Express: Governor Shallenberger
has been prsising Omaha as a market
town and, I'm that way, may be able to
make the metropolis forget that he signed
the daylight saloon bill.
Hastings Republican: If Omaha would
add that Missouri river boat line it would
give Kansas City a race that would be
interesting. Kansas City is getting it's
boat line and Il is now up to Omaha to
get a similar move on itself.
Beatrice Sun; The barefoot boys with
cheek OF tan, mere children, who found
the hidden treasure OF the Omaha train
robbers, are getting altogether too much
notoriety for their own good. They are
liable to get the idea that they are cut out
for detectives and will want to go on the
trail for the bold, bad desperadoes and
the country will be overrun by thief
catchers.
Springfield Monitor: Rev. Charles w
Savidge, who has done a noble work in
Omaha preaching and saving souls, has
added a new department to his business
by opening up a matrimonial bureau I'm
like most of these bureaus, 1t is not a
money making scheme, hut as the rev.
erened gentleman puts It, why. this is
the Lords work. and 1 am in the Lords
service"
Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee is of
course excusable for standing up for Omaha
as against the reflections of a number of
country newspapers who have concluded
that the metropolis is a safe harbor for
crooks and criminals. The Bee ought TO
do that, and it will be admitted that the
police force soon run the recent train
robbers TO earth. The discovery of the
clue. however, was accidental, and the
arrests were made on Easy street. The
point made against Omaha-and 1t is use
less to get sore about it's that there has
been entirely too much free and easy"
in police administration for which past
mayors may nave been responsible. Omaha
as a big city naturally attracts the crimi-
Ia me- N1AAd NAioN - Wv VI
strongest reason for police vigilance. This
is due not only to the people of Omaha,
but is due likewise to the state at large.
Grand Island independent: The National
Sangerbund is coming to Omaha just the
same. The organization officials have given
it out that the members did not decide to
come to the Missouri river town to drink.
but to sing, and the s o'clock closing law
won't make any material difference with
them. While the German singer Is an ad-
vocate of personal liberty he is also a good
natured, wholesouled human being who can
make the best Of everything, in whose op-
timism there is a bright side to everything
and a good side to everybody-or ne
wouldn't be a singer! He will fit himself
into any locality and adjust himself to any
conditions, II need be. His motto is:
Where one sings there pitch thy tent"
And where he runs up against a bit Of
radicalism he merely tries TO round off
the toughest edges and get along peace
fully and pleasantly with his neighbor,
willing to give and take and meet any man
half way.

Mr.. Taft,s Western Trim.

According to Washington advices the
unfortunate illness OF Mrs. Taft threat
ems to delay IL not prevent the con-
templated trip Of the president to the
west in August or September. Mr.. Taft
has explained to western senators that
he has abandoned the Alaskan visit,
but still hopes to go to the Seattle ex-
position and make some stops en-
cute.
The entire west desires to see Mr..
Taft and he would be the gamer by
contact with our people. Western rep
resentatives should urge upon him the
importance Of adhering to former
plans at least to the extent Of going to
Seattle and making the intermediate
stops. The west is an answering sup
porter Of the presidents progressive
policies and personal contact would be
a sustaining force to him and an in
s~piration TO western people. The daily
press tells of affairs at the nations
capital, but there is nothing like per-
sonal association to hold people to-
gether and spur then on to united eff
fort. Presidential visits bridge the
great distance to the White House and
bring the government nearer to the
people.
The west wants to see MIR. Taft be-
cause It likes him and because he is
the president of the nation and if Mrs.
Taft RECEIVERS her health sufficiently
ii will urge to the point of insistence
that he come.

The Home Market.

Omaha iobbers and manufacturers
have been sending u periodical trade
excursions to cultivate territory nat
urally tributary and these excursions
have invariably met with notable sue
cess. Every addition to our trade ter
ritory and every new customer within
the territory means business expansion
for Omaha and additional Importance
for the city as a manufacturing and
jobbing center.
In a way these trade excursions have
as their object the conquest of foreign
markets, but while we should let moth
ing escape in this competitive territory
Omaha jobbers and manufacturers
ought to have the advantage in the
home market right here without fight
ing for it. No city can be a commun-
ity unto itself, yet the retail trade Of
Omaha mounts far into the millions
every year. The same reasons that
urge our people to patronize our own
retailers should be equally forceful
with the retailers to handle and push
homemade goods and deal as far as
possible with home jobbers.
What we should have here in Omaha
is a combined effort on the part of
manufacturer, jobber and retailer to
develop Omaha as a market town.
While reaching out into outside mar
kets we should also hold onto our home
market.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-08
A Nestor of American journalism.

Another landmark of the older
American journalism has been re-
moved by the death of Colonel Alexan-
der K. Mcclure, for more than half a
century prominent in our public life.
Colonel Mcclure began his newspaper
career in an interior Pennsylvaia town
in the '4Os and came to the forefront
with the founding of the republican
party, In which he played a not insig-
nificant part. He was one of the first
to recognize the commanding abilities
of All aham Lincoln and was an influ-
entail factor in procuring his nomina-
tion and election, remaining on conf
dental terms with Lincoln as an ad-
wiser during the period of the civil war.
In the newspaper field Colonel Nc
Clure was Identified chiefly with the
Philadelphia Times, from which, how
ever, he had retired in the last few
years. At the time Of his death he was
enjoying the honorary though not ex-
acting office of prothonotary Of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, a posi-
ton given him in his old age in recog-
milton of his long and notable public
service. Colonel Mcclure found time
to write several books of personal remi-
niscences, dealing chiefly with men and
events OF the civil war and reconstruc-
ton period, which will constitute val
liable contributions to our political his
tory. 1t must be consoling to his
friends and admirers to know hat he
should have lived to the ripe old age
of 81 years and saw the quiet follow
the stress and storm of his earlier
years.

PERSONAL NOTES.


With three grafters convicted, Boston en-
joys a moral exhilaration almost equal to
Pittsburg's.
A Mexican paper proposes to found and
endow a cemetery for newspaper men. At
last the young graduate ambitious to enter
journalism is able to cite a real incentive.
One day last week there were seven
births in Utica, n. Y. Six OF the seven
happy mothers of those little native Amer
leans are Mrs. Panaro, Mrs. Alfano, Mrs.
Torchio, Mrs. Villmosta, Mrs, Azzarito and
Mrs. Gratziano.
Mrs. Rebecca Burns, who is said to have
been liz years old when she died at her
home near Bellsfontaine, o., found the
secret of longevity in her custom of eat
ing onions twice a day, C~hicago's oldest
woman pins her faith to %doughnuts.
The companies which sell ~annuities
should lake notice Of the prediction of the
dean of the medical department Of the
University of st. Louis that a century
hence 100 years will be the expected length
OF human life rather than the exception.
Governor John f. Shafroth of Colorado
has accepted membership on the national
committee having in charge the proposed
change in the date for presidential inaugu-
r~ations, making in all forty-six governors
of states and territories who have Joined
the movement.
Jasa Brown, only surviving son of John
Brown, the abolitionist lead OF Harper's
Ferry raid, attended the meeting of the
National American Negro Political league
at Columbus. o., just closed. Brown is IS
years OF age and was his fathers chief
lieutenant in antl-slavery agitation. He
was away gathering reinforcements at the
time OF the raid and thus escaped.
