Have We Judged Awrong1

In an address at Yale James ]. Hill
declares his contempt for a lie, It's
utter uselessness In business, says he
has always stuck to the truth, kept
clean hands and is now too old TO
learn tricks" Mr.. Hill, therefore,
seems to Imply that some men have
learned tricks and this implication
save US, partially, at least, from the
self-reproach for having prejudged
men and methods In the larger sphere
OF business activities where Mr.. Hill is
q leader.
It is we'll for our kings of COM
merce" to stand up at great seats Of
learning and preach this wholesome
gospel to young men about to start
upon life's tasks and 1t is all the better
when they can point to themselves as
examples of men who practice what
they preach. Mr.. Hill is what we re-
gard as an eminently successful bust
ness man and he says he has never yet
come to the point where lie in bust
ness would take the place OF the truth.
''In fifty years experience have never
found a transaction worth while when
It came under the shadow Of a trick
or deception" II man Of Mr.. Hills
vast experience and interests had never
made such a discovery, It would be
futile for the rest OF us to try to
make II.
But, unfortunately, this is not the
impression the people have formed Of
many big business interests, especially
OF late years. The public has at times
seriously questioned the integrity of
certain interests, particularly those
that came under the odious appella-
ton of THE System" and 1t must be
admitted, as court records will show,
that in some instances the people have
been correct In their assumptions.
But, after all, the question will come
home, have we Judged awrong in the
aggregate7 Have we placed men and
methods under the ban Of suspicion
and moral judgment who ought not be
there and must we revise our estimate
of these interests, or is it simply that
Mr.. Hill is an exception instead of the
rule among the mighty men Of affairs
in this country?
If the people have Judged awrong
they ought to be glad to find it out
but they ought not to be too severely
condemned, for they have seen some
hands that certainly did not look en-
tirely clean.

of state government undoubtedly will

Some democrats in congress charged
that the statehood bill had string to
its benefits, assuming that both states
were to be democratic strongholds.
But statistics do not bear out this as
sumption. While democratic senti-
ment seems to have had the upper
hand down there, It has never been
exclusive in its power. Arizona, which
sent democratic delegate to congress
from 1900 to 1905, elected republi-
can by 700 majority in 1908, a presi-
Dental year. The legislature last year
stood twenty-seven democrats and
nine republicans. New Mexico has

delegates to Washington. With new

Money for Reclamation Work.

So far as the feasibility of the pro-
jects are concerned, congress takes ne
chance in passing the bill appropriating
S30,O00,000 as a basis of certificates
of indebtedness to complete irrigation
and reclamation enterprises now I'M
der way. They have proved their
worth even though unfinished and
fully warrant this provision, which is
made at the urgent solicitation of
President Taft himself, who has been
impressed with the excellent results
obtained thus far In the west through
the channels of the new system Of
reclamation.
Strange to say, there was some OPP
position to this plan in congress, but It
did not come from those members who
are best informed on the conditions
and possibilities of the semi-arid re-
gion. This $4,000, 900 is to make a

A Place To Enllnw I'm.

Omaha has had q gratifying success In
securing the conventions of various ma
tional and even international organiza-
lions and societies that hold their
meetings from time to time, and has
invariably impressed these gatherings
favorably by its efforts as host and en-
tertainer While these big meetings
are usually rotated from city to city
and we must await our turn. rarely do
the delegates who have been our guests
dispense without expressing apprecia-
ton of what has been done for them
and giving assurance that they would
be glad to come again when occasion
permits. AS a convention city Omaha
has grown in power and prestige and
may confidently expect to have these
big meetings located here in constantly
increasing numbers.
Omaha could, we believe, follow up
it's advantage as a convention city eff
rectively in one place which has been
almost entirely neglected, All of these
national and international organiza-
lions maintain permanent headquarters
somewhere, and the Importance OF the
business conducted by their national
officers is steadily growing. AS a rule
they keep their records at these per-
manent headquarters, maintain a cler-
ical force and clear their financial
