Up to the Committee.

MI BARLEY puts the Hitchcock prop
osltion squarely up to the democratic
state committee. He offers to go be-
fore that body with Mr.. Hitchcock and
allow the case to be gone into COM
pletely and thoroughly The commit
tee has its choice between investi-
eating the charges against its candi-
date for United States senator, or TO
ignore them and join with Mr.. Hitch
cock in the cry that he is being black
mailed" The latter course can hardly
be pursued in fairness to either the
candidate, the committee or the pub
lie.
II Mr.. Hitchcock is being black
mailed he is entitled to an eXonera-
ton of the fullest and most complete
nature. If he was a beneficiary of the
BARLEY treasury shortage, the people
are entitled to know the facts The
other candidates on the democratic
ticket have something at stake They
cannot afford to run on a ticket with
a man who shared the proceeds of the
most gigantic embezzlement of public
money that ever disgraced the annals
OF his state.
The charges have been publicly
made and BARLEY offers to support his
allegations with complete proof. VIII
the committee do its duty in this mat
ter or will it proceed to foist on the
people OF the state a candidate who
admits that he borrowed money from
state treasurer who was afterwards
sent to the penitentlary for embez-
cling public funds?

Admitting Aliens.

A day spent at the floodgate of i'm
migration through which the never
ending tide of aliens filters into the
United States has convinced the pres
ident of the imperative need of dis
tributing this influx throughout the
country and preventing its congestion
in New York.
II is most gratifying to have the
chief executives personal influence
back of this very wise and humane
proposition. OF all the impressions
he formed regarding the disposition
of these foreigners, this one was first
and foremost. Both for the alien and
the United States it should be done
It is wrong from every standpoint to
longest the tide in New York It tends
to complicate the serious social and in
dustrial problems with which we are
graphing We should be ready enough
to quit the old system and take up the
new. Selfish interests in the east
should not be allowed longer to con-
troll the situation. There are wider
fields of opportunity and usefulness
for these people further west and it is
retarding their progress toward de-
cent American citizenship not to help
them TO reach these larger places i'm
mediately.
The immigration question presents
many aspects that are hard to handle
and sometimes our people rush to the
conclusion that the way to solve the
problem is TO throw up great barriers
TO immigration. We do not believe so
We believe that properly handled, i'm.
migration may be made one of the
eountry's most powerful agencies fol
good, and that this very feature, wisely
handled, will go far toward makinl
the rest of the task easy. OF cours,
it will not complete It. Other essen
tial features will come up for DISPOSE
ton. But for this government TO ad
NIT that il is not equal to the demand
of the immigration problem would b,

Better and Healthier Army.

Official reports show that the health
of the American soldier has been
steadily improving since 1899; that
sickness is less frequent, disease less
malignant and the death rate much
smaller The remarkable feature is
that since this tendency began eleven
years ago it has not been interrupted
even for a single year, but has gone
on continuously.
This is most encouraging in view
of the persistent effort the government
has made to improve sanitary condi-
lions and health in the army and in
view also of the tremendous obstacles
with which it has had to contend. The
Philippine instruction and the cam
paigns in Porto Rico and Cuba sub
jected our soldiers to various maladies
whose insidious influences were deep
and far reaching, most difficult to ham
die Many of these diseases were dan
we'll knows, played havoc for several
years. Mortality lists grew and the
sanitation of the army became one of
the really large problems of the time.
But~it is to the everlasting credit of
this government that it did not ignore
or fail to perceive the gravity of its
task and that it undertook it's perform
ance with the full exercise of every
| facility at its command. And as show
! ing what magnificent results have been
accomplished it is but necessary to OBJ
in an enlarged army last year was but
4 $40, of which only 22S were due tc
disease, the remainder being from ex.
/ ternal causes There is 10 comparison
whatever between these figures anc
those of a decade ago.
This improvement in the health Of
the army but keeps pace with the i'm
provement that has been wrought al
along the line. The personnel Of tn,
army has been vastly elevated in these
last ten years and today the younl
men composing the American militar!
will compare favorably with simila,
number of young men in most an,
average calling. Their character ant
habits are better and the system o
living and training is immeasurabl,
superior TO old standards Those VIII,
advocate a larger army might fin
some compensation in the quality o
the one we have and give the govern
ment credit for its excellent manage
ment of the War department.

Omahas Census.

The figures announced by the cen
sus bureau for Omaha's population
will, perhaps. not satisfy some OF the
more enthusiastic citizens who had
made their estimates al considerably
higher range. but to any one who Will
analyze the conditions, they cannot
help but appear gratifying.
An increase of p per cent in ten
years is pleasing growth and indicates
a healthy condition If the figures
are compared with the government
estimate of Omahas population in
1890 it will show that we have in
creased by more than 100 per cent in
population in twenty years. This in
spite Of the terrible depression that
prevailed during the greater part of
the decade between 1890 and 1900.
Omahas growth in other directions
has been much more substantial than
in population The business of the
community has grown in all directions
and every important aspect of urban
life has SHOWN distinct and permanent
expansion No cause for mourning
exists in the fact that the present
population of the city is shown to be
what it is.
If Omaha had practiced what some
other cities have gone into and had
annexed surrounding territory for
many miles, the population figures
would be much larger. But the salts
faction of knowing that the growth
of more than 100 per cent in twenty
years is on an area that has not been
enlarged in that time, is a compliment
much higher than to have achieved a
similar growth by reason of taking in
large tracts of unoccupied ground in
order to obtain q few hundred popula-
ton to add to the count. The sub
urban population of Omaha is suffi-
cient to bring the figures high enough
to place the city we'll up in the ranks
of American cities. Sooner or later
this population must be added to the
greater center for it is both necessary
and fair that it should be done. Until
that time Omaha's claim to recogni-
ton will rest rather on the showing
of achievements than on count of
noses.
We have 124,O96 people, according
to the census and every one is a live

Wellman Has Not Failed.

1t will be strange if, in the long
run, the world does not pronounce
Walter Wellman's attempt at flying
across the Atlantic a success. While
he did not accomplish what he under
took, he did achieve much for the
future of aerial navigation and it was
the science he was striving to serve
more than the one purpose of sailing
from Atlantic City to London
Wellman and his crew, if they I'M
dertake the task again, as it seems they
will, undoubtedly will be able to profit
by their late experience. Or whoever
of these pioneers exploit. They dem
onstrated certain things which had to
be tested they learned certain things
that had to be learned and will not
have this ground of experiment to go
over again, Already they can see
where they made mistakes in their
preparations and execution. But above
above any of these details. they came
into contact with nature from a new
angle and next time will know how
better to make the approach.
Nature, of course, is slow to give up
her secrets, She holds tenaciously to
them, but by degrees she is forced to
let them out to puny man. What sort
of lunatic would he have been ad-
judged who, decade ago. had spoken
of crossing the ocean idn an airship
and keeping in communication with
land and sea vessels by means of wire
less telegraphy? Yet Marconism was
trite on this Wellman expedition. 1t
looks like a new era Of air travel has
been opened. 1t appears that prin.
ciple has been proved. Indeed, Mr.

The Merry Red OnL. Imitation and the
sad Cancellation.


Brooklyn Eagle.
Who would have thought that in the
whirligig of time it would have come to
this? Sometimes those who are not asked
to speak regard themselves as slighted. 1t
is bad enough 10 be igonred altogether, but
it is worse, after acceptance, TO have an
invitation withdrawn, which is something
in the nature Of what may be called rough
usage And it is none the gentler because
the victim has no alternative but submits
sion. To insist would be Incompatible with
dignity.
In this particular case however it is
difficult to resist the conclusion that Mr..
Bryan has himself to blame, He is a bolter.
This year he is not inside the breastworks,
his conscientious scruples having carried
him over the regular line. For these
scruples he must, Of course, be respected,
but ne has been known to Oe impatient
with that sort of thing There was, for
Instance, a bolt in SO, when he made his
first canvass for the presidency.
Then Mr.. Bryan talked of treason and
treachery With vigor, not to say rigor
he assailed the "deserters," crediting-or
debiting-them with more than doubtful
by conscience. Now he is emulating an
example for which he had nothing but
the language OF denunciation, which is to
say, he is exercising a right he would not
concede to others. What is sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander, and
he is getting little of II. The withdrawal

Every reader can recall something he has

many brilliant things that they are burned

ways been the peoples man. His voice
has always been for the downtrodden and
oppressed. His sympathies were always
with the under dog.
He worked his life away. He had too
much to do, He was pestered by office
seekers. He was harassed by small poll
tcians. His doorbell rang at all hours OF
