Washington, d. Gin a letter to
the secretary of the interior, made
public December 81, President Taft
approves the report of the board OF
engineer officers of the army on va
rious reclamation projects, authorizes
a call upon the treasury for certif-
Gates of Indebtedness needed, and
states that a message will be SUD-
mitted to both houses Of congress,
when they reconvene in January, urg-
ing enabling legislation recommended
by the board. Following is President
Taft's letter in part:
The Secretary of the Interior.
"Sir: l hereby acknowledge receipt
of your letter of November 29, 1910,
in which you submit the report of the
board of engineer officers of the army,
designated by me under section OF
the act of congress approved June 20,
1910, entitled IAN act to authorize ad-
vances to the reclamation fund.-" etc.,
to examine all existing, uncompleted
government reclamation projects and
to report which of them are feasible
practicable and worthy of expenditure
from the proceeds Of the certificates
of Indebtedness to be issued under the
act. The report is transmitted
through General w. L. Marshall. your
consulting engineer, who accompanies
the report with letter of explanation
and comment.
l have read the report of the board
of engineers thus submitted. They re-
port as feasible and practical and
worthy of allotment from the S20,,

To Stop the Ballot Fraud.

The editor of The Bee has instituted
a suit in the district court for Lancas-
ter county to prevent illegal duplica-
ton of names of candidates for nomi-
nation on the official ballot In the i'm
pending primary election. The fraud,
whose preparation has been at
tempted, consists of the fling of apph-
cations to go on the ballot under one
party heading, and the subsequent
filtng of petitions and acceptances to
go on the other party ballots without
paying the prerequisite fling fee az
required by law.
The editor of The Bee protested the
filings of democratic presidential cleo
tors under populist labels two years
ago, but the matter Of separate filing
fees was not involved because candi-
dates for presidential electors are not
required to pay any filing fees at all
1t is not the purpose of The Bee to
try a law suit in it's own columns, but
1t is not out of place to advise the pub
lie what its editor is trying to do fol
the protection OF the ballot and to pre-.
vent deception on the voters.
The Bee has time and again de-
nounced the Migrant abuse by which
the democrats of Nebraska have beer
enabled to misbrand their candidates
and steal votes which do not belong tC
them, and which they could not gel
under their true colors. We believe
that any legitimate move to stop this
abuse is justified and entitled to the
approval and support of all good citi
zens who favor a square deal.

England Still Ahead.

American police are processing con-
siderable merriment at the expense of
the British and Scotch police for let
ting DIR. Crippen, the alleged wife MUIR
derer, get away after they had him in
their clutches. Especially are they
laughing at Scotland Yard, the Wanted
secret service stronghold of the world.
The officers of Great Britain have
apparently made botch of this job;
Scotland Yards detectives had Crippen
in their hands and let him sing a soft
song of grief to them which COM
pletely diverted their minds from the
thought of his guilt. But the Ameri-
can police are not quite warranted In
laughing at this mistake, for they
have been where their cousins over
the sea are too often to make this a
real funny joke.
In the long run the United States
has had no room to boast over Great
Britain in the matter of capturing
and convicting criminals. When 1t
comes to getting the man, convlcting
and sentencing him. Great Britain has
been far in the lead. It's police may
sometimes be slow in making arrests
but its wheels of justice, we have OBJ
served, move rather swiftly and or.
dinarily, when it becomes clear that
the captive is really guilty, little time
elapses between his capture and i'm
prisonment, or whatever the penalty
may be. The courts OF Great Britain
have not nontrived as many ways OF
delaying trials as have the courts OF
this country and they pay scant heed
comparatively, to the prodigioul
technique of law as means of miti
eating the punishment Of crime.
Whether DR.. Crippen is ever cap
tured or not, If he is it is a foregone
conclusion that his guilt or innocence
will be determined IN very short order
and If guilty he will be brought speed
lily to his just reward.

Minnesota Democrats.

Minnesota democrats, not unlike
democrats In many other states, are
1t seems, willing to do anything this
year to win. Apparently a majority
of them are determined to force for
mer Governor John Lind to run
against Governor Eberhart on any
platform Mr.. Lind may suggest or out,
line, their sole thought being that he
is the only democrat in the state who
could possibly be elected. 1t must be
said for Mr.. Lind that he displays 6
little more consistency than those who
are importuning him to make the race
and 1t is not at all unlikely that hii
consistency is tinctured with wisdom
for he is thoroughly familiar with
Minnesota politics.
Mr.. Lind has written formal letter
declaring to the democrats, Your can

Talks for people who sell things

About FIVE years ago the Common
wealth Edison company of Chicago
took up newspaper advertising.
The first appropriation wasn't very
large, but it was enough to keep the
advertisements running regularly in
the newspapers, telling the people of
Chicago about the electrical appli-
ances which would increase the con-
venience of their homes and about the
cleanness and safety of electric light
ing.
Fortune favored them from the first
because they started right. They
called In a good advertising man, got
him to write the copy, backed him up
In his plans and allowed him to place
the advertising where it would do the
most good--in the leading newspapers
of Chicago.
The company increased the spprO-
priation from time to time as the re-
turns became greater, until they are
now spending 100000 a year.
When a company like the Common
wealth Edison increases it's advertising
appropriation from a few thousand to
a hundred thousand dollars there is
something In 1t, don't you think SO?
Isn't it pretty good evidence that ad-
vertising, when 1t Is done right, pays,
and pays big?

cry, in effect, then shove the law to
one side and run anyway.
It is a desperate situation for the
democrats OF the North Star state
They are grimly trying to hang onto
the power they gained through the
three successive elections Of the late
Governor johnson, upon whose death
a republican lieutenant governor, Mr.
Eberhart, became governor. The
reason why John Lind is picked out is
because he is Scandinavian, as also
is Governor Eberhart. But Governor
Lind was defeated for reelection in
1900 by Samuel r. Van SAINT, who was
not a scandinavian, and his nomina-
ton this year would by no means be
equivalent to election, particularly
since Governor Eberhart is making
the office and himself very popular
with the voters.

COURTESY ON THE PHONE.
How the Companies Could Help the
Movement Along.
INDIANAPOLIS News


Advertising has worked and is still work
ing wonders. Its limits have not yet been
reached, and one may well doubt IL they
have ever been approached. And yet it is
difficult not to have a feeling of skep-
ticism concerning the effort of the New
York Telephone company to instill courtesy
into its subscribers by advertising. 1t is
never pleasant to have our attention called
to our faults, but In this case 1t is done in
such an impersonal way that 1t may per-
haps not prove offensive. The New York
advertisements ask:
Would you rush into an office or UP to
the door Of a residence and blurt out:
"Hellol Hello! Who am l taking tor and
then, when you receive reply, follow up
your wild. discOurteous salutation with,
II don't want you; get out of my way; l
want to talk to Mr. Jones'" Would you?
We most certainly would not! None OF
u.s. And for various reasons. Aside from
the danger OF getting ourselves thrown
into the street for doing anything of the
kind, 1t is not customary for people to act
in that way. However, grouchy and grumpy
or disappointed we may feel, 1t does not
even occur to us to act so. But with a
telephone receiver at the ear 1t never seems
to occur to many people to act in any other
way In the first place 1t is safe; and in
Ln0 b6COnu ldOkS lAdb PCA5OhAA
which makes more or less for decent man
ners.
Few of the facilities of modern life are
of greater convenience than the telephone,
but for all that the telephone-like other
things-is not perfect. We do not always
get the number we ask for, or we are irri-
tatlvely delayed in getting It.. 1t is not
pleasant to sit with a receiver to the ear,
even for a very few minutes, Inc inter-
mittent buzzes and raucous rattles jar our
nerves, SO that when we do finally get the
number we are after we are in no mood
for the amenities of telephony, important
as they unquestionably are. Furthermore,
when we do not get the desired connection
promptly and properly we generally have a
suspicion-born, alas, OF experiences-that
central has not done its whole duty in the
premises Central, like the telephone itself
Is not perfect. Nor is It reasonable to ex-
pett it to be any more than 1t is reason
able to expect the subscribers to be.
But after all we ought to try to realize
that 1t is really a person at the other end
Of the wire we are talking to-not just the
instrument II We do that we shall hesitate
to indulge In forms OF speech that we never
use when speaking to people face TO face.
