CITY Government.

There will be time enough for
Omaha to decide on what form OF
government ls to be adopted when the
matter has been fully considered from
every side and all its various phases
have been gone over to the end that
complete understanding may be had.
Advocates OF a radical change from
the present form should temper their
zeal until due consideration has been
given 70 questions involved. The
"Des MOines plan has been most ably
presented by one OF it's ardent cham
pions and It would be doing him small
justice II he did not gain supporters.
other advocates of government by
commission have been presenting their
case to the citizens with such plRusis
bility as has gained momentary sup
port, and yet Il win not be wise for
Omaha to rush headlong into any new
plan. The mere form OF government
does not in itself provide the remedy
for abuses complained Of. II IL w-u
enough to talk about fixing RESPONSE
bility and placing authority in the
hands Of responsible ofieers, but the
arst thing to do is to secure RESPONSE
BILE ofhoers. The present form Of city
government in Omaha, despite what
may be said 10 the contrary, is ultra

mary and are then selected by the pso-

have stopped to the level Of using II

would have been hard enough to settle
on its merits. without bringing IN so
much personal and eXtraneous matter,

pie charges we're made, unfortunately,
we're also the two by whom the chief
testimony was given. In addition the
minority Of the committee took up the
fight Of these two men and made it
their tight because they saw an oppor-
tunity for making political capital out
of II. Then, to cap the climax, came
that so-called Conservation congress"
at st. Paul, which developed into such
complete farce as to disgust even
some of its sponsors. It is too late
now to expect this Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy to get a fair hearing.
Most people prefer to avoid the sub

She was fortunate in that the times IA
vored her In introducing the religious and

accomplished what she did half a century
earlier, because the assault of modern
science upon the churches had not yet de-
vitalized the old theology, and by its at
tack upon revealed religion had unsettled
many minds concerning the older form Of
faith. 1t was this vast unsettling OF the
masses, particularly in the Protestant
world that made Il comparatively easy TO
attract suffering souls to a sw form Of

Celebrated Case Recalled.
Boston Transcript.


A full generation has passed since the
close Of the "Beecher trial" one OF the
most sensational cases that ever came be-
fore court of this country causing
sharp algnments of opinions and sympa-
thies in society and even in families The
cause celebre is now recalled by the death
OF Mrs. Frank d. Moulton, widow Of the
mutual friend" Her testimony, like that
Of her husband, was anything but friendly
though It seemed to have but little effect
upon the verdict. The figures most prom
ment in that unfortunate case have
mostly passed away Some of the best
legal talent in the country was Engaged by
each side. II was a battle of the giants OF
the bar and the testimony was a disclosure
of strange moods, temperaments and re-

sons. Theodore TiltOn, the plaintiff, took
up his subsequent abode in Paris and died
abroad, and one by one the actors In this
tragedy OF regulations have dropped from

Divine Right and Duels.

Emperor william may be an exam
pie Of stavism, but he Is so entirely
unique among crowned rulers for his
courageous utterances that not even
the caustic criticism Of Reichstag so
cialists can deprive them Of their re-
freshing interest to a people accus-
toned to having a man say what he
thinks. That is why Americans, alien
as they are to the lazy notion of the
divine right of kings or the foolish
fancy that personal honor can only be
avenged through the medieval process
Of balancing ones life on the keen
edge Of a sword, find time to become
interested in the kaiser's advocacy of
both these dead Issues.
Yet his own Reichstag is not so pa
tient. 1t has just got through scold-
ing him very severely for his famous
Koenigsburg speech and it will no
doubt take as decisive issue with his
justification of the duel as the best
way of protecting personal honor.
The emperor is a sincere man and does
his best to practice what he breaches
about his divine-wrought authority,
and one may scarcely question his
readiness to fight duel should such
an improbable challenge of his valor
force itself upon him.
But If the Reichstag feels like re-
buking this latest outburst OF the
kaisers, has it not enough power to
denaturize the duel as France has
done? There It is the easiest thing in
the world to fight duel, for the law
gives the family of the victim the
right of civil damages. This thought
full restriction has worked admirably.
without lessening the high sense of
the Frenchmans personal honor, It
has thrown about the duel enough
safeguards to guarantee results for
the most picayunish life insurance
agent The dictum Of the courts is,
Fight all the duels you want to, but
remember, the other fellows folks
have a comeback at your pocket
book.
Now, strange as 1t may seem, this
allusion to the pocketbook, even in
the case Of death, has fallen like a wet
blanket on the passions of insulted
Frenchmen, so thatit seldom requires,
nowadays, more than the faintest sug-
gestion Of a swords touch to satisfy
the most sensitive hair-trigger honor
in the republic. More than that, 1t
seems about to have done away with
dueling entirely. For even now some
of the best blood OF France is stirred
over the popularity of the plan to set
tie all personal matters hereafter with
the fists.
1t lie not at all impossible that If the
Reichstag. or some other influence,
would get to work on this proposition
It might neutralize the efforts Of the
kaiser to restore the popularity of this
medieval custom.

Progressive Crop Values.

Secretary Wilson in his report for
the Department of Agriculture says:
Nothing short of Omniscience can
grasp the value of the farm products
of this year. At no time in the worlds
history has a country produced farm
products within one year with a
value reaching SS.926.OOO,OOO, which
is the value Of the agricultural prod
ucts of this country for 1910"
From time to time we hear the
criticism that It is costing 81 900, 000,-
600 to run this government one year,
and at once our economists of the
more pessimistic turn of mind begin
to worry over the prodigal waste. To
begin with, we are not spending that
much money in the conduct Of the
government year. Last year the
total outlay did not quite reach $780,
100000. But even If 1t did go to a
billion, that would only enable us by
comparison to partially comprehend
something Of the amazing wealth of
our farms. The products in one year
bring enough to run practically nine
billion-dollar governments. This, 1t
would seem. is in itself pretty good
argument for the back-to-the-farm-
movement. Yet, we are nowhere near
content with that showing. We are
convinced by actual demonstration
that without expanding our area of
cultivation, the soil is capable of pro-
ducing more in crops and money and
SO we are continuously applying our
intensive methods to bring about
larger results.
But the most significant feature of
Secretary wilson's statement is that
our crop values are progressive. The
increase has been continuous every
year since 1899. That was just two
years after the long republican rule
set in upon the heels OF the last demo
cratic panic It required about two
years for the republicans to undo and
do over things preliminary to building
up prices and markets. This. they
did, and we have the results to show
for It. True, a change in adminlstra-
lions could not effect climatic condi-
tions, and yet 1t will not do to say
as much about the soil, for the great
reclamation service put into operation
by the republicans, with its concomi-
tsnt Of intensive farming methods
stands out too boldly as proofs for
that.
The fact is, conditions that made
for better prices of farm products
finally enabled the farmers to take
advantage OF improved systems and
machinery, and, of course, the direct
result is counted to them in dollars
and cents.

Fire Traps.

II now appears in the course Of an
oficisl investigation that the recent
wholesale death Of factory employees
in Newark might have been prevented
had one door been unlocked. But the
person responsible for that door being
unlocked had forgotten" Regrets
for the dead and punishment for the
living are alike futile In this case.
Neither will remedy the matter, but
the lesson ought not to be allowed to
go unnoticed. We have been too easy
in such matters in this country. The
Newark disaster should stand as a
solemn warning to employers who oc-
cupy large buildings. whether the pen
atty Of the law is visited upon the one
who forgot" or not.
