Not a Question of Cowardice.

The Omaha Bee seems to take consider
able pleasure in publishing from time to
time anonymous articles rejecting upon
the administration that DR.. d. 3. Wood
ard is giving to the Lincoln insane asy-
lum. We desire to say, in the first place,
that this anonymous business is mean and
cowardly; and, in the second place. that
Or. ID. S. Woodland halls from Aurora, and
that in this community, where he has been
well known for years. he is respected and
esteemed as a man of character. There is
no one in Aurora who would for a moment
believe DR.. Woodland capable of doing the
small mean things with which he is
charged by this Bee correspondent, who
has not enough manhood to sign his name.
Aurora Sun.
If there is a place where no question
of cowardice is raised in giving pub
licity to an anonymous letter 1t is in
institutions where helpless inmates are
completely at the mercy of those &C
of power. The inmate of the Lincoln
Insane asylum, who wrote to The Bee,
referred to, had enough manhood to
sign his NAME" but the editor of The
Bee deliberately withheld 1t from pub
LEGATION apprehensive that it might get
the writer into trouble. The effect of
that publication was described by the
same correspondent in letter, which
reads:
DR.. Woodland is mad. The employees say
he is greatly disturbed" He is going to
find out who gave that information to The
Bee if it's the last thing 1 do in life"
He also has said, IT'S a bitter pill to
swallow" The exposure OF the special at
tendant fake and the cut flower deal
created sensation in this neck of the
woods, and it is true every word of it.
That inside information should get out is
what hurts DIR. Woodland. 1 am placing a
whole lot of confidence in you, so keep my
name away from DIR. Woodland. It GER
tainly would be bad for me if he should
find out where The Bee gets its informa-
ton.
The anonymous business" is evil
IDENTIFY not SO mean and cowardly" as
the mismanagement business which it
has exposed, and which the good dem
ocratic doctor has not been able to dis
prove. No one will take the trouble
to dispute that the doctor is respected
and esteemed" in the community
where he has been well known for
years." nor that he earned some kind
of fat Job by doing yeoman service
for the democratic ticket. But for all
that the unfortunate insane, who be-
come wards of the state, are entitled
to the very best care and treatment
which can be provided for them, but
which they have not been getting since
our democratic governor put all the
official positions on the political pie
counter.

ROOsEVELT'S AMAZING INDUSTRY

PrOduccN Mach Copy.

Few Travel Correspondents Ever
Produce Mach Copy.
Edward Marshall in Columbian.
A few days ago l talked with two men,
important In the councils OF tire pub
fishing house for whom, since he started
on his journeyings Mr.. Roosevelt has
written for print-the outlook and Serb
ner's Magazine. Both have been, Of
course, more or less constantly in commu-
nication with the traveller, and both told
me that they had reason TO believe Mr.
Roosevelt to have been tremendously and
pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm Of
his welcome In far countries. Both spoke
with something kin to awe of his great
industry; both especially commented on the
evidence of foresight and method afforded
by the progress Of his great journey almost
without a change, upon the lines laid down
several years ago and the delivery of his
copy with a precision and perfection which
would have been a credit to the most care
fully expert journalist.
His literary labors during his absence
were, indeed, amazingly extensive. Few
trained correspondents, travelling for the
exclusive purpose OF getting material for
publication, have on similar journeys pro-
duced more manuscript, and never was bet
working under such extremely trying cir
cumstances as have sometimes, surrounded
the production of his. His manuscripts,
prepared in the field, show all those evil
dences of thought and care which would
be properly expected had they been written
in his library at oyster Bay. Mr.. Bridges
of Charles Schibner's Sons, showed me
some of them the other day. Each is in
the colonel's own handwriting. The only
time, during all his African travels, when
he even had typewriter available, was
when he was at Ju Ju farm. All other
matter which he sent across the sea was
written with a pencil In his own char
acteristic and easy script Indeed, at Ju
Ju farm, the only times when q typewriter
was used were on a few occasions when
more than the usual number of duplicate
copies we're to be made.

Bidding for Tourists.

The ancient capital of Austria has
gone into the business of advertising
for tourists, with preference for
Americans, who, of course, have the
most money and are the best spenders.
This advertisement appears in many
newspapers:
WANTED-Tourists from foreign coun-
tries, America preferred; all sorts of in
ducements offered visitors have only to
make known their demands. Address City
OF Vienna
Evidently the lines of competition
for these desirable American tourists
with their plethoric money bags are
being tightly drawn and Vienna, which
perhaps has not been getting its share,
proposes to go after the game strong
this year. This suggests that the
American tourists might reap some
benefit from the competition them
selves. If they are so desirable why
not capitalize their popularity? Why
not demand certain exclusive conces-
sions, in the form of rebates if they
wish, or otherwise? But why should
the preferred American visitor not get
more for his money than the other
fellow?
Still, what Vienna is doing in this
way to build up profitable tourist
business may contain hint for some
of our own enterprising cities. If II
is worth while for Vienna to make an
extra effort to get this business during
few brief summer months, it surely
would be worth while for an American
city, which has similar attractions and
inducement to offer, to make g
similar bid to keep some of the money
at home that now goes abroad. We
are accustomed to let the resort
keepers and railroads do all the pro.
motion work to build up and stimulate
the tourist traffic. But If it is a pay
| ing proposition to them perhaps II
might be made to pay the cities them.
selves to trump in with them and de
team work in exploiting their drawing
cards

Important judicial Appointments.


Six judicial appointments are to be
made by President Taft within the
near future and general interest at
taches to his action. He must name
new associate justice Of the supreme
court to take the place to be made va
cant by the retirement of Justice
Moody and Ave judges to constitute
the first court of commerce created
under the provisions of the new rail-
road rate law.
The Transmississippi country, from
the river to the Pacific coast states, is
without a representative on the SUI
preme bench, and while these appoint
ments are not determined by geo.
graphical selection, there is no reason
why Justice Moody's successor should
not come from this great section,
which was in the field with candidates
for the late Justice Brewers place
which the president gave to Governor
Hughes. In view of the rapid devel-
opment and the diversity of industries
in the west, IL would be well If this
section were permitted to furnish a
member of the supreme court thor
oughly familiar with its own peculiar
interests, we'll, not only for the west,
but also for the court and the country
at-large.
A fear has been voiced in the east
that the president, who makes the
original selections for the court OF
commerce, is likely to name one or
more of the present members of the
Interstate Commerce commission and
the objection is urged that, while ex-
perienced enough for the place, the ma
ture OF the commissioners service
would tend to disqualify them for
these new judicial functions, since
they had so long been dealing with
railroad rate matters from the stand
point of the prosecutor. We believe
this fear is not we'll grounded and that
the president may be trusted to make
no appointment that might jeopardize
the success of this court of commerce,
which is largely of his own conception.

Talks for people who sell things

"You can't tell me that advertising
pays every msn that goes into it," said
a nonadvertiser to me awhile ago.

every man who goes into it, because all
men don't go into it in the right way.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS adVer-
Using won't pay. Exaggeration won't
pay. Misrepresentation won't pay.
Red -hag-brass-b and-methods won't

ADVICE TO SUMMER GIRLS.
Detroit Free Press,


She was pretty as picture with her
cheeks of russell tan,
And her bathing suit was something good
TO see.
So she took swimming lesson from
handsome college man,
Such very handsome college man was
he.
Round her head her hair was matted In
the fashionable way,
And she wore bun to elevate the crown.
And she wore lot OF curls, as all maidenz
do today,
The most expensive curls that come in
brown.
In the water they went splashing just as
gayly as could be-
And the spinsters on the porches wore
For they never thought they'd ever live
such awful sights to see,
That young man should be driven out Of
But alas for that young maiden. and alas
for that young man,
A saucy wave came dashng DER the
foam
And IL swept away her tresses as a wave
Swept away her hair pins also and her
comb.
The lake was strewn with ringlets, to the
west there sailed her bun,
Here and there a switch was bubbing
up and down,
In the distance you could see her store
curls dancing in the sun,
Those most expensive curls that come in
And a sadder little maiden never hurried
10 the shore,
When she realized her wealth of hair
was gone;
The moral Of this story-must really tell
II Ger?
Is not to go in swimming with your
phonies on. 81

WIRELESS STOCK swINDLE.

Army and Navy Register
II is gratifying to note that the postoffice
authorities have awakened to the uncon-
scionable swindle perpetrated on the people
of this country by the United Wireless Tele-
graph company. 1t has taken the officials
a long time to get the information which
months ago justified the prosecution Of
stock jobbing concerns, which have been
incorporating the wireless telegraph and
wireless telephone situation. Nearly two
years ago the Navy department attempted
to enlist the cooperation OF the Postoffice
department is getting after certain people.
who were selling stock in q wireless tele-
phone company largely on the assertion
that the system had been adopted by the
government and the instruments made by
the company were permanently installed
on all ships Of war. AS a matter OF fact,
the wireless telephone apparatus was re-
moved from the ships OF the Atlantic fleet
as useless. Notwithstanding this fact, one
company made much of the fiction shat the
navy had adopted the system and stock
was sold to people who could Ill afford to
part with their small savings. Those who
undertook to expose the fraud were threat
ened with suits for libel. The allegations
of the naval authorities were sustained in
all particulars and were followed by the
ultimate embezziement Of a large part OF
the funds by one of the officials OF the
company.
The pity of the whole situation is that
| the government has not been able TO act
until so many people, estimated at no less
than $4,000, have been complacently robbed
OF their investments. OF course, it is easy
enough to say that man or woman who
has money to invest should make the pre-
iiminary investigation to ascertain the
| merit of the speculation and there are
sufficient warnings of a general character
in the newspapers against the swindlers.
| But it ought not to be possible for the
government authorities to overlook brazen
| Misrepresentation which seeks to give
a marketable value to alleged official in
dorsement or adoption of the device for
which stock is thus sold.

Quite a Remarkable Verdict.

1t is remarkable that New York
grand Jury specially called for the pur-
pose after six months of exhaustive
investigation finds that no organized
white slave trafflc exists In that city
and it must be exceedingly gratifying
to the best citizens all over the land to
have this assurance. The chief sig
nificance of the jury's findings, how
ever, lies in the fact that ]. d. Rock
efeller, 1r., who gave so generously of
his time and vast means to combat
what was believed to be a systematic
movement of this character, was fore
man of that grand jury. This tends
to give a climax of authority and in
tegrity to the verdict and to compel
its acceptance in the best of faith by
the peope generally.
This is a splendid vindication for
the fair name of New York, in which
good people everywhere must feel a
degree of satisfaction, and If it indi-

those persons who gave currency to
the charge with such reckless zeal, the
judge to whom the grand jury sub
mitted its report seems to have hit the
keynote when he said: at is a mer-

Protection Not for wrOngdoers.

To secure at least fair treatment for
Americans anywhere abroad-that is one
privilege Of great power which We ought
to exercise. Lord Palmerston's famous
civis Romanus speech of 1850 has never

man should not be permitted to feel, where
ever he may be, that the watchful eye and
the strong arm OF England will protect

there any reason why an American should
not have the same feeling-provided al
