emily no effort was made to improve
the order Of things aboard the war
ship.
Now the same naval oficials who
sidetracked the man who dared TO
speak up are in control OF the investi-
cation of the collision between the Ne
braska and the Georgia. Advance
judgment in the east fastened the
blame upon the Nebraska, and It was
proclaimed as a ~"hoodoo" ship. The
Nebraska represents an Investment of
millions Of the peoples money. 1t was
accepted by the government after the
most rigid tests, more severe, indeed,
than are c%ustomarily applied to the
products of the Atlantic seaboard. 1t
has demonstrated its capabilities in the
Pacific. The campaign against II in
other waters looks very like dlscrim-
inatlon and is worthy Of the attention
Of the head of the Navy department.
1t Is high time to rid the service of any
such a~ntagonism. A feet divided
against itself is in peril from a foe
more insidious than foreign guns.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-15
Personal Rights i'm Photography.

The elimination of President Taft
from a moving picture would not be a
matter of comment If the public had
not become so accustomed to the mod
ern habit of photography, a habit
which has become SO general as to de-
generate into a nuisance. Newspapers
are in a measure to blame for this, for
the discriminating ones miss no OPP
portunity to smother their pages with
%nauseating repetitions Of familiar
faces. Thus, when the president comes
to town, we have pictures of the presi-
dent getting of the car, into his car
riage, bowling from the carriage, TAX
ing his hat of, putting it on, smiling,
smiling more, looking at the mayor,
looking away from the mayor, speak
ing, keeping still and so on through
all the delsarte attitudes for repose,
remorse, happiness, grief, anguish,
laughter and sublimity. Truly, we
nave all gotten into the way of s%urfeit-
ing ourselves with films, till we are in
danger of bunting our fine sense of
the niceties.
Secretary Wilson's order can in no
wise be construed as a censorship.
Rather 1t is the assertion of a personal
right and an official propriety. Mr..
Taft's friends were within the preroga-
tives in preventing a moving picture
from being exploited about his per-
sonality, and made the subject for
familiar comment, IL not for jest, in a
mixed assemblage. We should all re-
member that there is a dignity and
even a sacredness attaching to the
office Of president Of the United States;
the cancellation of the presidential
photograph was a proper tribute to
that high functionary.
In other countries royalty goes fur
Their and commands with a high hand.
In England a short time ago some
one snapped King Edward in a group
into which a notorious actress had OBJ
truded. From the negative the figure
OF the actress at once was BACKED
out, so that the shop windows were
filled with prints showing a mysterious
shadow, distinct, but unrecognizable.
From this incident has grown a sim
gular fad, and now the country is
flooded with all sorts of group photo
graphs of notables with one individual
dimmed into a ghost, Thus a regal
within has been cultivated into a pecu-
liar pastime, and out of 1t has grown
a substitution for the word photograph
Of the slang nomenclature, Guess
Who?"

Street Railway Service.

The report Of the city council COM
mittee indefinitely postponing the ordi-
nance to reduce fares in Omaha will
not be a serious disappointment to the
public. 1t is probably true that some
reformation in local street railway
service is required, but at present the
more urgent needs of the public are
not summed up with the demand for
cheaper rides. The Omaha Street
Railway company gives rides of much
longer length for 5 cents than any
steam road would possibly do, and with
the transfer system in vogue this
feature of its service is not to be seri-
ously complained Of. 1t is true that
a few other cities furnish street rail-
way transportation at a lower cost to
the public than does Omaha, but 1t will
be found upon inquiry that conditions
in those cities are very much different
from those prevailing here. The ele-
ments that enter into the problem
there are all in favor of the lower fare
proposition. In Omaha a great many
things in connection with the street
railway service might be improved be-
fore the fare is reduced. The needed
improvements can only be had through
the company's prosperity, and to cur
tail its gross income by the reduction
Of fare is certain to postpone the bet
terments. If the city council will de-
vote its control over the street railway
service to the matter Of securing more
trains on the lines, especially at the
rush hours, so that the public will not
be subjected to the terrific packing
that now prevails, and some similar
reforms, it will accomplish much bet
ter results than by wasting its time on
the reduced fare proposition.
