The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-09-30

Ex-Mayor Brown has happy knack
of hitting upon good ideas with pleas
ing regularity. Now he wants to know,
you know, why the county commission
ers do not get busy and spend a little
of that inheritance tax money IN fix
ing up the roads leading into Lincoln.
If we are not mistaken there is now
about $13, 1000 lying idle in that fund
quite enough to make several miles Of
model road This inheritance tax
money can only be expended for road
purposes, and outside the corporate
limits of any town or city. And surely
it ought to be spent instead of lying
idle in the county treasury.

WHAT THE DICKEY BIRD SAYS

"A mayor with power to appoint

councilmen elected at large, and with
arbitrary power to removeH'
And we are asked to give patient con-
sideration to a fool proposition like
that!
The fact of the matter is, the present
''charter committed" is just a bit
worse than a farce. Schroeder Bauer,
George, ct al, are opposed to any
change in the present system. Candy
only knows that he is opposed to about
everything that anybody else favors.
And through the whole committee runs
the thread Of Traction Co. influence
A few members of the committee
want real progress on sensible lines.
A few are dreamers whose feet seldom
come in contact with the earth. A
few do not know what they want, and
Others are quite content with the pres
ent system that allows of wire-pulling,
self-seeking and political scheming for
position, together with q continuance
of business methods that would wreck
a private concern in q fortnight.
Perhaps the people Of Lincoln like
to be played, horse with---and per-
haps not. If they like that sort Of
thing, certainly they are getting plenty
Of it from this charter committee.

START HAPPINESS AT HOME

This Is Mrs. Cornwallis-West' lot
merly Lady Randolph Churchill, ana
the mother OF Winston Churchlil'
prominent British statesman.
RMS. Cornwallis-West has written
warning play which will be staged IN
America this winter.
The play deals with a husband and
wife who devote their time to helping
humanity to the neglect OF their own
home, in which they are very I'M
happy.
Without depreciating In the least
the efforts OF those great men ana
women who labor in philanthropic ana
humane interests, who give their hves
that others may live In better con-
ditions and enjoy more hopeful days;
without subtracting one iota from the
credit due them. 1t is we'll TO remem-
Der that mankind dwells In two worlds.
Two entirely different and foreign
worlds: The one, that In which the
whole human race lives and mingles
each with the other: the other Is
home.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1910-09-07

as is the other world-the world or
everybody.
Be home palace or howell. IL Is home,
and as such there is constant need or
love. friendly interest. smiles, and en-
dearing words, beside the more ma
terial needs OF shelter, clothing and
food.
A very wise man once remarked that
charity begins at home.
Interest in fellow-beings should not
only begin there, but enough OF 1t
should always remain there so that
the beautiful flower OF family happi-
ness may blossom until the last two
members of the family are separated
by voice CT the Creator.
The purpose of Mrs. CORVALLIS
Vests play is not TO make us selfishly
inclined to heap all our love, wealth
and devotion upon ourselves and our
own, but not TO go TO the other ex-
IRENE either.
II reminds us that in the eternal fit
ness OF things there has been given
everyone the ability TO live in two
worlds slmultaneously-the world OF
home and the world OF everybody.
To fail TO live TO the fullest extent
OF our possibilities in either Is a dire
misfortune TO ourselves and to hui
mainly.

Mr. Taft. in his plea that his adj
ministration be given another chahce

disclose how IL can be counted on 10
make any better revision piecemeai
than Ii made wholesale.
II Mr.. Taft as the head OF his ad-
ministration did absolutely nothing TO
shane the Payne bill in accordance
with his party platform-and he did
absolutely nothing. although moving
heaven and earth to secure the cor
poration tax-why should the country
believe that he will be any more ac-
tive In revising the tarin by separate
schedules as he now proposes!
But even II he should exert himseif
10 obtain a revision OF any particular
schedule, why should the country be-
lieve that he would measure such re-
vision by any other standard than
that by which he insists on measur-
ing the revision OF the Payne Dill!
Since his signature OF that measure
he has contended that 1t was re-
vision downward and that II was q re-
demption of his partys platform
pledge. The country does not take
this view of IL, and certainly there Is
no reason why revision by separate
schedules. even IL made, would be
any nearer the country's conception
OF q downward revision than was the
Payne bill.
Granting. therefore, that the tariff
could be revised by separate sched-
ules-and such revision as tarin
legislation goes would require some
thing like half century TO accom-
plish-there is absolutely nothing in
President Tafts record TO justify the
assumption that the tariff so revised
would be any better than the tariff as
revised by the Payne law.
In the campaign document which
Mr.. Taft has just put out he urges
that the Republicans should be con-
tinued in power because the Demo
Gratis are divided among themselves.
As proof OF this he notes that "in the
present congress leading Democrats

DR.. Smith, In his opening remarks
pointed out that in the constitution Oh
the National Society for the Humane
Regulation of Vivisection the object is
not declared to be the abolition of Vivi-
section. but simply it's regulation. he
declared that it could not be denied that
vivisection had done much to give knowl-

the treatment of human beings, but ne
thought that where ninety-nine surgeons

mainly one of the hundred would De

Then he amputated another ear, and
the animal still faithfully came to him.
He then took off first one leg and then
another and the dog still came at his
call and licked his hands with its tongue.
He then dug out both eyebal1s of the
canine, and after that the creature
snarled at him whenever he came into
the room.
