Territorial department officers in
the outside islands are Directing to
the reductions made in the Govern
or's Territorial estimates. But that
is no reason why the administration
of the Territory of Hawaii should
rot be placed on the economical basis
of Territories of the mainland.
School teachers certainly should not
have their wages reduced in order
that other departments may be run
extensively and continue with work
better turned over to the Counties.

DISCOVERING WALL STREET.

Wall Street is being discovered,
and as the common people come to
know more of the inside facts they
remove the halos hitherto placed over
the heads of many public men-suc.
cessful men, regarded as good men
because they had amassed great
wealth.
c. w. Morse, sentenced to prison
! for irregular banking, recently gave
cut a statement in which he said 81
am the panic of 1907" They had
to have n scapegoat to cover up the
Morgans and the Harrimans, and the
others, and he was the victim. Morse
says that he goes to prison for doing
what was and is now being done In
every bank of the New York - and
every banker knows 1t. He used his
banks funds In the stock market and
| lost. The others either win or are
not found out.
Lawson helped the outsider to dis
cover Wall Street by making the story
of iniquity picturesque. Every
body's," for which he wrote, IL car
rying on the work of educating the
people by a series Of articles that
point out the manipulation of the
New York Stock Exchange and tell
how the bankers and the insiders
operate for their own advantage
while shaking dollars out of the peo-
pie. These bankers of whom the
writer in "Everybody's" tells US are
probably doing every day the same
thing for which Morse is now In the
Tombs.
The "Everybody's" writer says:
There is nothing more sordid in
Wall Street than the use that is made
in the stock market by insiders (di.
J rectors, bankers. and their like) Of
information accessible only to them
selves. They have the first informa

Whisky ring" gin mills" and
words of similar import may roll

But since the report OF the Ways

attempt is made to hide the real fea-
lures OF the bill in the charges OF
breach Of party pledge.
The Republican party by its plat
form pledged itself against a gen

bill.
Did that mean that the bill was not
to be changed In any respect? That

bill, II was not to be changed by ell

During one fall when MIR. Dietz was chair
man OF the bail committee he was the only
unmarried man on the board Of governors,
so a resolution was passed by the board that
il should be the duty of Mr.. Dietz to look after
all the visiting maids of honor. Mr., Dietz
heard the motion passed, but thought it was
Just a joke motion and paid no further atten-
ton to it,
The night of the ball arrived and the
maids had all come to Omaha and were
quartcred around at the various hotels. 1t was
about time for the big ball to start when it
dawned upon Mr., Dietz that no provision had
been made to escort the maids to the ball.
Then the old motion dawued upon him.

got busy. He realized that he could not call

who for many years has been one of the most

two years ago was chosen king in honor of his

it. But suffice it to say that Ak-Sar-
Ben has a future and a bright one, |
think. The king has not reached the
end Of his rope by a good deal, and |
see no reason why we should not reign
as long as England's Queen Victoria,
and she reigned pretty long"
Arthur c. Smith said the governors
and the knights were too much con-
cerned about the present to think
much about the future, but that there
is a future there Is no doubt in his
mind.
The carnival, or the possible lack
Of it, may hamper us some in other
years, but ! think we will be able to
find some suitable location for a high
way near the business center. know
some people object to the carnival and
would like to see it done away with,
but my answer to these people is not
to go to the carnival if they do not
want to. No one has to visit the carni-
val unless he likes, ana | have noticed
that the great majority like to.
IF any one can point out where we
can get the 100000 or 100000 which
we get every veal in gate receipts at
the carnival we will do AVA with It..
but until some other plan offers |
think we will keep the carnival go
ing.
Next year we will have the army
maneuvers and that with a few stunts
from the Cheyenne frontier day will
give the people a pretty good entertain
ment."
1.-TWO years is too far ahead to
think about. We governors may AL be
dead before then, but King Ak-Sar-
Ben will live forever, at least he ought
to in consideration of the great goot
he has done Omaha"
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-26

provements would be made or what
changes effected, though he said
that it is a ~foregone conclusion that
the kings future is bright.
I'VE have no highway, or will
have none, and that is the principal
trouble said Mr.. Courtney, but
the highway and the carnival is not
all, and the reign Of Ak-Sar-Ben and
Samson will go on Just the same.
The king has captured the city and
he is not going to abdicate yet a
while. The new John l.. Kennedy
building at N~inetee:-th and Douglas
streets will prohibit the use of the
present highway after the present
year. We cannot close Douglas
street and thereby keep people away
from this new building. The new
Brandeis theater building has taken
half Of the block of ground on
which stands the city hall and the Bee
building, and this is another spike in
the old carnival grounds. There is no
use in talking about going out to the
Vinton street park or some other loca-
ton away from the business center for
a carnival, as we cannot get the crowds
out there. But sufficient to the day
is the evil thereof and we will meet
future difficulties as we have met them
in the past-with a smile that always
wins"
The carnival is but incidental to the
great work of Ak-Sar-Ben, and if the
highway is taken from the king it will
not make so much material difference,
according to Emil Brandeis. Mr..
Brandeis, however, agrees with the
other governors that the highway and
the carnival have played an important
part in Ak-sar-Ben in bringing in re-
Ceipts and helping to defray the ex-
penses of the parades, but the carnival
is not everything by a long shot and
the loss Of the highway will not
mean that the king will have to abdi-
cate.
The knights of Ak-Sar-Ben are not
in the carnival business-they are con-
cerned in boosting Omaha, and the
carnival is only incidental" said Mr..
Brandeis. Great things have been
done by the knights under the leader
ship of Samson, and many people have
heard Of Omaha through the Ak-Sar-
Ben who otherwise would hardly have
known that Omaha was on the map.
But Ak-Sar-Ben is not only a good
thing for Omaha, but it is a good thing
for the entire state, and has adver-
tised the entire state.
Great and glorious have been the
reigns of the last fourteen kings of
Ak-Sar-Ben, more glorious and still
greater will be the reigns of the next
fourteen kings, and | thoroughly be-
lieve there will be many moro than
fourteen. You ask about the future;
we'll, look at the past. Each success
sive year has been better than the pre-
ceding year, therefore it stands to
reason that future years will be better
than the present"
More diamonds are to be placed in
the diadem to be worn by future kings
of Ak-Sar-Ben, and as the years go by
his lord high chamberlain, Samson,
will become a still higher functionary
according TO Charles w Beaton an.
other one Of the governors.
Take away the kings highway.
take away his carnival if you will, but
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-26

bring thousands of people to Omaha
Mr.. Dietz favors some kind of a
pioneer day celebration to go along
with the soldiers maneuvers, in this
agreeing with others of the board of
governors. None Of the board mem
bers have given much thought, seem
ingly, to the Ak-Sar-Ben of 1911 and
future years-all are concerned with
the Ak-Sar-Ben of 1909 and a few pre-
liminarv plans for 1910, for they can
not wait until 1910 to prepare the
program for that year,
with the large den and the entire
block Of ground on which It stands
paid for and clear of debt, Joseph
Barker, the governor in charge of the
annual Ak-Sar-Ben ball, does not
worry so much about the loss Of the
highway as some of the other COVER
nors.
I'VE are gong to nave the finest
balls this year, and If the balls on sue
cessive years are better than on pre-
ceding years, why would it not stand
to reason that in the future they will
be still better? The children's bali
this year will be the prettiest thing
you ever saw and the Japanese tea
party will be a dream.
But about the future, the prospects
for another year. Fine, I say. 1t is
practically certain that we will get the
maneuvers of the government troops
and hat is worth going miles to see,
and we will Of course lave other at
fractions. The knights of Ak-Sar-Ben
we're never known to fall down on any
thing yet and we do not intend to in
the future
Mr.. Barker agrees with most of the
governors that the carnivals must be
kept up in some form, 0 so much on
account of the imperative neces-
sity of getting revenue for the -
king for the purpose of defraying Z
the expenses of the parades, as to a
furnish cheap amusements to the y
thousands who have always packed 4
the carnival grounds and come \
away thoroughly satisfied. \
Il would rather you would come h
around after this years carnival /
and ask me about the future of D
Ak-Sar-Ben, as then / Will know III
more about it," said H. j. Penfoid,
another Of the governors. mo

you cannot take away the affection in
the heart of every Omahan, for Ak
Sar-Ben the Mighty, for he is mighty
and has done mighty things for
Omaha" said Mr.. Beaton. Il do not
know iust what will be the future of
the King of Quivera, but it will be
grand and glorious and no mistake.
Probably next year we will have some
thing of a frontier celebration, coupled
with the maneuyers of the troops, but
nothing has as yet been definitely de-
termined upon. We are concerned
about the present, not the future, Just
now
But no man can tell me that Ak
6ar-Ben is at an end and that his glor-
lous reign should cease and the king
abdicate in favor Of some one or some
thing else. They tried to tell us that
we had reached the limit in limitations,
that everything had been thought of
and that nothing new could be put on.
But look at this year. We have had
the best, most original and most TAX
ing initiation of any,, and while the
Elks, Masons and other secret societies
could not get enough members to-
gether to hold a lodge meeting, the
kings Den has been packed every
Monday night. no matter how hot the
weather might be.
"Ak-Sar-Ben is here to stay and
more glorious things await him in the
future thar he ever dreamed of, l be-
lieve."
Educational features are to be put
to the fore in the future, according to
c. II. Pickens. Samson is not neces-
sarily to become a pedagogue and his
knights all school ma'ams, but all the
same Ak-Sar-Ben will attempt to put
on programs which will be of an in
structive nature. This first n will
be next year.
II believe that the of the
government troops will be the best
kind of an educational feature" said
Mr.. Pickens. More soldiers will be
brought together here in Omaha, prob
ably, than at any other western city in
) recent years. Their drills will be ed
7 vocational, entertaining, amusing and
interesting in the extreme. People
l we'll may come many hundreds OF
5 miles to see the soldiers"
Mr.. Pickens is also somewhat con.
2 cerned about a higway for the king in
2 the future, but said he will have
| highway as in the past.
F., IF some people do not like the
&. carnival, those some do not have to 60

/ the carnival meets with the approva

= Something new in initiation will
be found for next year and the same

Gould Dietz can talk Of nothing
else but the soldiers next year. mo

of Ak-Sar-Ben regarding It's tulure ana
the future of it's king and his lord
high chamberlain, Samson.
They all agree that Ak-Sar-Ben
has proved a big thing for Omaha
an undisputed fact-that It has adyer-
tisod the state as no other II thing
has, and that its future will be much
brighter than it's past. And Ak-Sar-
Ben's past has not been dreary and
forlorn by any means. Concrete prog
n~ostications of the future, Of the car
nivals and entertainments TO be given
in the years to como, cannot well be
made, but the governors declare that
the king is not going to abdicate and
that he will continue to rule for many
years to come,
"Ak-Sar-Ben will be continued until
something better can be thought Cg,'
said Everett Buckingham, and as he
fails to see what better could be had,
Ak-Sar-Ben will continue to reign for
an indefinite period.
"Ak-Sar-ben beats everything else
any other city ever had by a thousand
miles," said Mr., Buckingham, The
Yelled Prophets Of ST. Louis do
not come up to it, and in New Orleans,
where the far-famed Mardi Gras is
held every winter, they still use the
old-fashioned floats lighted by torches
carried by negroes walking along be-
side them. It is proper that the larg-
est city in the state should have a fall
