When we look, and It is but a short
way back, upon the departed slorieb
OF our inland river commerce, II seems
almost incredible that a country could
so soon outgrow It's rivers. But when
we reflect that the coming of the steam
railroad for a time absorbed all Of our
resources we realize how water traffic
came to be so seriously neglected and
allowed to fall into decay. Now that
the railroads have adopted an agrees
sive mastery over the hand that first
fed them, commercial interest is re-
awakened in the discarded channels
which once we're alive with water
craft.
But river trade faces new condf-
lions, so that II waterways are to be re-
vived to compete with or supplement

commodate vsster traffic and bigger

meantime cultivated fresh problems

with the situation could possibly COM
prehend the work to be done to restore
the inland waterways to adequate sery-
ice in commerce.
The most pretentious of the water
ways projects is the rehabilitation Of
the Mississippi from the lakes to the
gulf, which is having the benefit Of
personal inspection by the president
and the congressional party now ac-
companying him down stream. Boats
of the existing type are used, boats
that must be displaced byg bigger craft
If the Mississippi is to be again the
great highway Of trade, yet even these
vessels find the channel none too deep
n are reported as having trouble
with the sandbars. The pressing Of
the waterways matter upon the presi-
dents attention at every stopping
point and ,the present application of
the ~"follow-dp" system is a legitimate
part Of the propaganda For the pres
ident and congressman to look into the
matter at first hand and to see for
themselves the needs of the great river
for the country at once are object les

The Register of Deeds.

Another important county office to
be filled at the election mex week is
that of register Of deeds. In this office
all deeds, mortgages and documents af-
feoting the ownership of real estate are
recorded, and the records kept by the
register Of deeds furnish the material
for our abstracts of title upon which
rests the transfer of every acre Of
ground and every city lot in the whole
county. The demand on the incumbent
of this office is for accuracy, industry
and strictest integrity.
The present register of deeds for
Douglas county is Frank w. Bandle,
who is just completing his first term
and has been renominated on the re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Bandle's conduct
of the office has elected no complaints.
He attends to business personally and
makes efficiency the test for his sub
ordinates. The volume of business
transacted through the office has stead
lily increased at a greater rate than the
cost of doing the business. The office is
much more than self-supporting by rea-
son of the fees earned and paid in. In
fact, it is one of the best r~evenue-pro-
ducing offices Of the county. During
the next four years activity in real es-
tate in Omaha and Douglas county is
bound to continue and grow, and the
experience which Mr.. Bandle has &C
quired in the performance of his Off
cial dnties will be of the utmost value
to the taxpayers and to everyone en-,
gagged in business requiring the record
ing of written documents.
1t goes without saying that Mr.. Ban.
die should be and will be reelected a.
register of deeds.

THE NEW Girl.

T. A. Daily in, Catholic Standard.
Since we've been keeping house we've had
All sorts of servant maids,
And some We're really not so bad
Some couldn't sweep, some couldn't cook,
Some wouldn't cook who could,
And some of them by stealth forsook
Our quiet neighborhood
And left us mutely to deplore,
When they had taken. wings,
More holes In our depleted store
OF silverware and things.
Yet we were never hard to please,
And would, I'm free to say,
Have gladly kept the worst of these
But none of them would stay.
But now, at last, my wife and /.
Who couldn't keep a girl
Have got a perfect treasure. My!
She's just a gem-a PEARL
She doesn't storm or sulk or swear
Or keep us on the rack.
And wages2' Pshawl She doesn't care;
She never answers back. Ys
Nor thinks to say an ugly word,
Or even wear a frown.
Our greatest JOY in life occurred
When she dropped into town.
She frightened all our hopes and aims
When she arrived today.
She weighs twelve pounds, the doctor
claims,
And she is here to stay.

THE A NULLIFIERs.

South Omaha Democrat: Filling an item
lied bill Of campaign expenses and publish
Ing a list of donations to campaign funds
are a pair of laws that get the horse laugh
annually.
Neigh Leader: -vRnile the republican
state committed has observed the law re-
garding publicity of campaign expenses,
the democrats have failed to file the state
ments OF receipts and disbursements pro-
vided by statute. The matter has been
called to the attention of Mr.. Bryan, but
so far, no statement has been forthcoming,
although the measure is one advocated by
him personally. The one party lives strictly
up to the letter of the law, and the other
ignores it entirely.
Kearney Hub: Publicity of campaign ac-
counts was the great hobby Of Mr.. Bryan
last year, but within a few months from
the time a publicity law passed by a demo-
cratic legislature goes into effect we find
the officials Of the democratic organization
in the state multiplying it by failing to COM
ply within the time required by law.
Bryan's opinion of these democratic re-
dictionaries would make interesting reading
should he Nconclude to speak his mind, for
he surely does not countenance so bad a
break by his trusty lieutenants in Ne
braska.
Osceola Record: Another of the acts
passed by the democratic legislature has
been annulled and this time, not by the
courts, but by the democratic party itself,
and this ID the law requiring campaign
committees to max a report of all money
in their possession and from what sources
received, fifteen days before election. The
republican m has fully complied
with the law and the democratic committee
has failed or refused to do it. 1t will be
remembered that SIT, 900 received by the
democratic state committee from the Tam
many slush fund five years ago never was
accounted for and this open violation both
Of the letter and the spirit Of campaign
publicity, shows that the democratic party
not only pleads guilty to the charge Of
preparing to debauch the election, but it
also shows that the law was advocated
only for democratic campaign material.
Who are the nullifiers In this case, GENTLE
men? Suppose this law had been set aside
by a republican court, instead of by the
very people who passed it-what would
the democratic officials and the democratic
press be saying about 1t now.
