Governor Haskell Again

Just what constitutes the business
ethics IN affairs Of state" in Okla
homa is hard to tell, but in a recent
TIT between Governor Haskell and
Charles A. Taylor, state examiner and
Inspector, a peculiar condition is dis
closed. True to his former record,
Governor Haskell comes to the aid of
his party colleague In the office of
state treasurer inc defends a question.
able bond for service. The reign of
Governor Haskell has been a good
deal OF a nightmare for Oklahoma,
with it's rapid fire indictment of his
excellency and the patched up business
methods in many OF the departments.
II has been suggested that under the
circumstances Oklahoma has not had a
real administration, but has been per-
suaded to accept zone that is just as
good"
A noticeable feature of the demo-
cratic politics Of the new state is the
large number of busted phaenoms"
from elsewhere who are the leading
lights Of its democracy. AS chief Of
this bunch, Governor Haskell has done
pretty well, except when his admins
tration is compared with the standards
in other states. But it has not all been
sunshine for those who hold office in
Oklahoma, by the grace Of Governor
Haskell. A few legal principles of
common acceptation everywhere else
have kept the governor and his political
associates both lodging and explaining.
That there should have been apparent
carelessness and ~laxness in handling
the funds of the state and in conform
ing to the state laws governing the
selection of repositories, as we'll as re-
garding the bond required of the
treasurer, is really not very surprising.
With but few exceptions the Haskell
administration of Oklahoma greatly
resembles stage scenery-looks almost
as good as real from the front, but
shows up the skeleton work badly
when viewed from behind.
Just imagine Governor Haskell as
secretary of the treasury for which he
was slated had Bryan won out. Would
he have been allowed to sign his own
bond and carry also the signatures of
several defunct financial institutions
on said bond as "simon pure" backing?
Would he have handled national fl
nances as he apparently sanctions his
state treasurer in doing with the state
finances? The chances are that those
who picked him for the cabinet figured
only that he had delivered the Okla
homa delegation to the Denver conven-
ton and needed no further qualifica-
tons,

American Code of Law.

In answer to the question, How
much law is there in the United
States?" a noted jurist shook his head
dazedly and replied, "A good many
splendid principles hidden in a world
of chaff." Justice Day of the United
States supreme court is quoted in the
same tenor:
The confusing mass Of precedents which
now embody what may be called American
common law renders 1t often impossible for
counsel to give legal advice competent to
guide their clients in doing what the law
sanctions and approves and RETAINING from
disobeying the law, which, If litigation fol-
lows, they are presumed to know.
Since the organization of courts and
~law-making bodies in America, statutes
and decisions have been multiplying
and Diling up in an astonishing way.
Each state has its constantly increasing
code and each court, whether state or
national, has its great series of de-
c~isions. With our ever increasing
population, the need for more special
lied laws presents a new feature, with
its accompanying flood Of court de-
cisions. AS a consequence the average
lawyer is confronted with a maze of
statutes, more or less conflicting, and
legal technicalities which are discon-
certing and battling in the extreme.
Because of this very thing one of our
leading business men has said, 1.-THE
greatest risk in business is the legal
risk"
This is the basis Of a movement,
recently started, to go over all Ameri-
can law and codify its principles, thus
doing for us what Justinian did for the
Roman law.
The ablest legal authorities Of the
nation seem to approve the idea and to
be using all their influence to promote
1t. The value of such a-codification OF
hour fundamental principles of law
would unquestionably be of inestimable
value. 1t would be a ~stupendous task,
and If it is to be undertaken, the sooner
it is done the one will its benefits
be available.

Roosevelt Silent ON Pnlitins.

When urged to submit to be inter.
viewed on American politics, Theodore
Roosevelt had nothing to say" The
facts of the case are that he has been
too much out Of touch with American
happenings of the last year to make
any statement. The former president
wisely refuses to talk politics or dis
cuss anything American until he gets
posted on what has occurred since his
departure. The hope Of the "%yellows"
for some dope about which they
might scream is thus blasted. In reply
to their inquiries, Colonel Roosevelt
turned on these same correspondents
with such rapid fire questions that it
took the combined and concentrated
efforts of all to answer him.
The small army of newspaper CORE
spondents who have gone half way
around the world to meet the returning
huntsman would naturally like to in
duce the former president to start
something" and yet no one really ex-
pected anything but the kindly but per-
sistent rebuff. Theodore Roosevelt is
not going to be caught between bases
by any off-play. He can be depended
upon to hold himself on safe ground
until he gets a perspective of American
affairs; then he will talk and what he
says will be we'll worth hearing.

Governor shalIenberRer's Proclama
tiOn and His Ge~neraIities.

Sioux City Tribune.
Governor shallenberger has issued a
proclamation calling what he d~esignates as
the First Nebraska Conservation and state
Development congress to be held at Lincoln.
March 1880.
Along with the proclamation the governor
gives out a lengthy address OF giittering
generalities, such as he has been using in
his campaign speeches, general statements
that would be designated in a court as lin
definite, immaterlal and not pertaining to
the case"
IL the governor has had an idd. just one
definite and practical idea that he could
have inserted in this call # would have
made 1t a stronger document. AS II is,
however~it will bring some men to Lincoln,
some democratic politicians, at least, and
they will talk, and the talk will get into
the newspapers and the people will read 1t,
some Of 1t, and it will probably do no harm.
There Is some waste of water, or, rather
misuse Of water, In Nebraska, to be sure,

ated foods, but this could easily be stopped

law, Of which the governor himself is the
legal head. Buying water in water-loaded

speaking, a waste Of water resources, but
II is a waste Of money resources that the
governor could well afford to give atten-
ton to right at this very time, while he is
anxious to attract attention as an efficient
state executive.
Governor Shallenberger is using over Sl,G0)
a year Of the peoples money In travelling
expenses, as against about 500 a year used
by Governor Sheldon, his prsdeces or. There
is a waste of resources In this matter that
should be stopped, unless Governor Shallen-
berger can show that he is worth more to
the state away from office than in it, or
persuade the voters that they lost a good
man because he did not spend their money
freely enough.
There may be some waste of timber and
wood, If the governor knows where there
Is any timber or wood in Nebraska, and he
Will be able to point this out to the con-
vention more definitely h he was able
to state In his conservation congress call.
1t is only fair to give the governor a
chance and let him show what he can do.
II the conservation convention results in
nothing more than a pleasant little demo-
cratic love feast, that will be something,
Tor there never was a time In the history
OF Nebraska when a love feast was as much
needed as now among the democrats as
well as the republicans.

II the western senators, representatives
and newspapers suppose that they can
keep the postal savings deposits at home
by the simple device Of preventing tho
treasury from removing them, they are
taking a childish view. The banks in their
home towns, for the benefit Of which they
wish the government to collect and guar
antee deposits, will remit their funds to
New York whenever they can a more
money there than they al at home. And
furthermore. If the country banks could
not send their funds to the reserve cities
when demand at home is light they would

Enlarge the Fire Limits.

Omaha is growing fast in the way
of building construction, and from all
present prospects will continue to ex-
pand with the steel, brick and mortar
that help to make a great city. The
character Of the buildings erected in
average from year to year, and we
should omit nothing to make sure that
this improvement continues.
1t seems to us that it is high time
to enlarge the fire limits again within
which no new construction Of tenn
porary infammable material is per-
mitted. The present fire limits have
remained practically unchanged for
many years, and while they were
doubtless adequate at the time they
we're established, they should be made
to conform to the changed conditions
that now confront US. The present
fire limits are possibly extensive
enough running from north to south,
but to stop them with Twenty-fourth
street on the west, particularly On
the main east and west thoroughfares,
is sh~ort-sighted and i~ndefensible.
The fire limit area should be pushed
out in advance of the building move
ment. Extension of the fire limits
ought to be welcomed by property
owners because it cannot fail to in
crease property values by insuring
more substantial buildings and i'm
provements.
The time to enlarge the fire limits
for Omaha is right now, and 1t goes
without saying that the line should
never be contracted.

Mary's little lamb never displayed one
scintilla Of the meek docility OF March as

more the record has been consistently

paint a rosy tint upon the cheeks Of woman.
The skies are fair by day and by night the
glory Of the stars is sometimes we'll calcu-
lated to challenge the admiration of the
most indifferent.
Whatever March may have been in other
years, Iowa people today pay it enthusiastic
homage as a month long to be remembered
no matter II a little farther on it adds an
occasional variation to the meteorological
program.
March is doing something more, however,
than provide us Will a protracted spell Of
fine weather. Beneath It's firm but gentle
touch the soil is being prepared for the
wonderful transformation scene which will
soon take place and which, fRmillar as It
maye be, never fails to charm and inspire.

Japan did not single out the United

The house of delegates of Virginia has
set it's face against the income tax amend
ment to the constitution. 1t has voted
down the proposition for ratification by
"a TO 81. 1t was by q remarkable appeal
to the memories Of. days following the
civil war that the opponents Of the income
tax won out. 1t was argued that the in
come tax would result in northern officials
examining into the private affairs Of cit
liens, and there would be a repetition of
the days Of oppression following the close
Of the war. The republican party, it was
said, could not be trusted with the revenue

Of baseless arguments, the men who are
