The development of Omaha is psthinB

Michael, consul general at Calcutta india,
after an m spin about the city.
The growth since I last saw the city four
years ago can not be accounted for by
anything else than the general enrichment
OF Nebraska and western Iowa, the terri
tory OF which Omaha is the metropolis"

Calcutta is having a building boom Not
an Inflated imitation. but a sane. healthy
growth. Buildings OF the most modern type
are going up there and the quaint old
structures Of the business quarter are be-
ing replaced by tall business blocks Ike

Calcutta Is a big. busy city The last

There are about E.oo Europeans. Aus
trallans. Armenians and Enrasians In the
city. The American colony numbers I0l
persons. men. women ard children. Most
OF these are missionaries and people con-
neeted with the mission work. The great
est work OF the missionaries has been the
upiift OF the Eurasians. These people. be-
fore the enlightenment and education
brought by the missionaries came, had no
standing. they were rejected by the Indians
OF caste and the whites. The missionaries
have given them a status. and their work
in this direction alone fully i~ustiflss their

AN UNSIGNED LETTER

We have lately received at this office
a letter for publication. commenting on
an editorial Of Nov. Is, headed "One
Hundred Years" 1t has been the pol
icy Of this paper to disregard unsign-
ed communications, for obviously such
a rule is necessary, The letter in
question, however, is so interesting,
and SO worthy of consideration that it
was temptation not to reproduce it.
We would consider it favor IL the
writer would advise us of his identity,
although his name will be kept in con-
fidence IL he so desires.
More than that. the editors would
like very much to have a talk with the
author of the letter at his convenience.
This may seem an unusual method of
dealing with an unsigned letter, but
the subject matter was SO interesting
that we hope we may get in touch with
the author.

The Diplomatic Service.

From the New York Times.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
intend to carry forward and extend the
improvements in the diplomatic SER
vice of the United States initiated by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root.
If the country is willing, the new ex-
ecutive order will in time become a
fixed law, and upon it will be based a
permanent diplomatic system which
cannot fail to promote the interests of
the public in foreign lands more effect
lively than the uncertain methods hith-
erto followed in diplomatic appoint
ments. Such system would be en-
tirely free from the influence of party
politics. Meanwhile the improve
ments in the lower offices of the SER
vice will be beneficial on their own &C
count, and doubtless many young men
of good character and education will
be attracted to the diplomatic carer.

year 1909 was chosen for the appeal

The leaders in the movement be-

ARGENTINA IN LEAD
(American News Service)

american News Service)
Washington, Dec. 9.-Argentina Re-
public takes the lead this year as the
greatest grain exporting country in the
world. This fact is disclosed by the
recent report of grain expectation by
the leading countries.
For the year ended July 81, 1909, Ar
gentine exported 13.7OO.OO0 quarters
of wheat: 13,JOOOOO quarters from the
United States and 12,1OO,OOO quarters
from Russia.
This is the first time that Argentine
has been in first place and while this
lead is mainly due to the poor crops
in the United States and Russia, it is
confidently expected that within a few
years Argentine will annually be the
greatest of the worlds producers.

From the New York Tribune
A writer has just been convicted in
this city of criminal libel against a
member of the Mexican government in
a book apparently composed for the
purpose of assailing the president of
that republic. The interesting feature
of the case is that the libel was COM
mitted against conspicuous officer of
foreign government. Far too often,
writer's of books. as we'll as of newspa-
per and magazine articles, and also
public speakers, seem to think that for
eigners. and especially foreign rulers,
are fair and safe targets for any shafts
of detraction and abuse. 1t is true
that immunity is generally enjoyed by
their makers. even when the attacks
are untrue and libelous, because the
injured person is far away and has not
the time nor the inclination to take the
matter into court. That circumstance
however. aggravates the offense. The
libeler says things about a foreigner
which he would never dare to say
about a person in this country. More
over, it Is the head of state who is IL
beled. and therefore the utterance il
calculated not merely to do harm to an
individual, but also TO create misappre.
hension and Ill feeling between two
nations.
