Consolidation.

The movement now gaining head
way for consolidation of the two
omahas is the elimination of a senti-
ment that has been growing for many
years. Twenty years ago an effort to
unite the two cities failed because of
the unwillingness OF the residents of
South Omaha to surrender their cor
porate identity. Once since then a
similar effort came to a similar end,
and for practically the same reasons
But during these years the advantages
that will come through a union of the
two cities In one government have
forced themselves home to the think
ing men of both communities with con-
stantly increasing emphasis.
No good reason exists why the two
cities should not be one. Their in
terests along all material lines are
Identical. They are so closely united
physically that even the residents are
puzzled to know whether they are in
the one town or in the other. 1t
would require no act OF legislation to
establish community of thought or
purpose between the citizens, for that
already exists. In fact, the situation
is cause for constant wonder among
outsiders that separate governments
with their expensive machinery should
be maintained to perpetuate a division
between people who are otherwise so
closely bound up in all that makes for
the growth and welfare of a COM
munity. When these arguments are
presented In detail they grow in
weight. On the other hand, no very
strong argument can be maintained
for continuation of separate govern
ments.
The proposal to consolidate the two
omahas will soon be fairly before the
citizens for their consideration and
should be given careful thought. II
is not the purpose of Omaha to under
take to kidnap South Omaha, but the
better judgment OF leading citizens in
both communities is al in favor of an
nexation.

President Taft in his speech at Gin
cinnati brought out the fact that II
costs only four-tenths of l mill to haul
one ton of coal one mile on the Ohio
river between Pittsburg and Cairo.
The entire distance being 967 miles
it costs practically SO gents to trans
port one ton from the Pfttsburg fields
to the Cairo consumer.
1t costs $3.50 to transport one tor
of anthracite coal from Chicago to
Omaha on the railroad. a distance OF
400 miles. This means o rate per ton
per mile of more than mills mills
as compared with four-tenths of l
mill. If the Ohio river rate were APP
piled to the Chicago-Omaha traffic the
cost of transporting ton of coal from
one Of these points to the other would
be 1916 cents. instead of $3.5O. Or, If
the Chicago Omaha rail rate were ap-
piled to the Ohio river it would cost
s4.93 to haul one ton from Pittsburg
to Cairo, instead of about a9 cents,
twelve times as much.
OF course, the cost Of operation is
more for railroads than steamb boats
and the rates should consequently be
more, but whether they should be
twelve times as great rs another cues
ton. The president in bringing ont
the fact of this cheap river rate men
toned many serious and costly obsta-
cles in transportation with which the
boats had to contend, one of which
was low water for considerable
period of the year and another the
ever-varying depth. And yet, as he
said, the transportation was both
cheap and satisfactory. 1t had done
wonders toward developing the coun.
try tributary to Cincinnati. There 1,

that area comprises a population Of
$4,000. 600.
What the president has brought ou
not only suggests a doubt as to tn,
reasonableness OF the railroads' pres
ent demand for increased rates, bu
ought to impress other river cities ant
sections with the importance OF wateI
transportation. II must come befor,

Gavnor and the yellow Press.

Mayor Gaynor of New York believes
the yellow press had hand in the at
tempt made upon HIS life and he de-
clares his intention. therefore. to curb
the criminal power OF such publica-
tons He says:
Such journalism is Of course. in abso-
lutte defiance OF the criminal law and II

grand iuries and the district attorney TO

these journalistic scoundrels have go. to
stop. or get out and I am now ready 10
do my share to that end They are alb
solutey without souls. II decent people
would refuse to look at such newspapers,
the thing would right itself at once The
journalism of New York City has been
dragged to the lowest depth Of degradation.
The raileries and libels. instead of honest
statements ana fair discussion, have gone
on unchecked.
The owners and editors of this sort
of newspapers will take issue with
Mayor Gaynor. They will, now as in
the case of President Mckinley, con-
tend that their influence had nothing
to do with melting the assassin. They
cannot contend, however, that their in
fluences tended to allay the spirit of
anarchy and murder, or stay the
assassin's bullet
Many people all over the country
believe with Mayor Gaynor, both as to
his charge against the yellow press and
his declarations as to the necessity for
curblng It. II any man has the right
to such a belief it certainly must be
Mayor Gaynor and it will do no good
for the newspapers involved to train
their skillful batteries of abuse and
ridicule upon him in the attempt to
justify their merciless assaults upon
the mayor of New York before this
supplemented reader of theirs con-
WINGED that he was right and the mayor
wrong, gun in hand, went out to put
him to death.
Somewhere and somehow this thing
must stop. Some day constituencies
men must be made to see the atrocity
OF denouncing and damning the men
chosen Of the people to occupy posi-
lions OF honor. There is a vast
difference between fair and honest
criticism Of public officials and indis-
criminate villification of them. The
latter cannot be INDUCED in with safety

anything to compel this class of pub

Fifty or sixty years ago the retail bust
ness of the country was conducted much
after the fashion of some Of the merchants
There was an outside" man who in
duced the prospective customer to step
inside"
Once inside he was at the tender mer-
cies Of a half dozen or more statesmen.
and If the first one did not convince him,
each salesman in turn took a 1all out of
him.
The customer went in expecting to be
robbed. The merchant invited him in ex-
pecting to get the worst OF It.
The first price asked for an article was
usually three times its actual value. the
first amount offered was usually three
times below the actual value.
And so the hagGling would go on, back
and forth. back and forth, sometimes for
hours. Each man distrusted the other, each
man trying TO get the better OF the other,
and in the end, each man feeling that the
other had gotten the better of the bar
gain.
1t was legitimate business. too; everybody
did 1t. nobody considered 1t unfair or dis
honest.
There was not much advertising in those
days-One could not hAggie in an adver-
tisement-there must be plain statements
and definite prices named in the advertis-
ing.
II a merchant advertised a certain article
and named a price three times its actual
value his outside man would not be able
to get anyone to go in-they would think
the price nnal since the merchant took
the trouble to publish It.
The first merchants to advertise honest
goods at honest prices had a hard row to
hoe-people did not believe in them, thought
1t was another move to get the better OF
them. and the merchants who did not want
to change, who did not want business put
on higher plane encouraged the people,
disbelief, made a fine penny out of posing

as old-fashioned business men, as stand
patters' for things as they were.
But progressive men had seen a fight
and kept on advertising honest goods at
honest prices.
By and bye the people began TO think
there was something in this one price talk;
then they began to investigate. Then the
advertisers began to get action.
Just soon as the people began to think.
it's all over with questionable methods.
They force a man out or force him to get
in line, as is being proven every day in
this old world OF ours ..-
Advertising and nothing but advertising

In It's high and honorable position.
Advertising, and nothing but advertis
ing has placed the American business man

cumstances to have more comfort and con-
