GRANT AND ~ROOsEVELT,
OtabI Contrasts I'm Two Ex-PresI-
dents Abroad,
NNr..AF--a-- g.--

dents Abroad.
Washington Star.
General Grant was a silent man. He was
sententious even In private conversation.
One OF his friends pronounced him the best
listener of his generation. His interest in
affairs and his desire for Information were
boundless. Set speeches in public were
wholly out Of his line, So that when he
went on his tour of the world, neither his
hosts abroad nor his friends at home ex-
pected him to turn talker. And he did not.
He met only the formal requirements Of
hospitality In that particular.
Mr.. Roosevelt is very fond of both con-
versation and public speaking. With friends
he is something Of a mo~nologlst. In public,
while not an orator, he is often in voice.
Pulpit or lecture platform, stump or the
rear landing of a railroad coach, finds him
ready and willing. He is versatile in the
matter of topics. His wide reading has
brought him much and a variety Of in
formation. 1t is not difficult to get a
rise" out OF him. A simple request is suf-
ftcient. So that the addresses ne has deliv-
cred. and those he has promised to deliver,
are in the nature Of things.
When General Grant left home there was
no wide expectation, II any at all, that he
would ever return to politics. The third
term movement developed later. Interest
Of the world at large was in the most sue
cessful great soldier, with one exception,
Of recent years. Won Moltke was the other
man who had swept things before him in
the field OF war on a gigantic scale. And
Europe admired then, as it admires now, a
great captain. 1t bowed low before the mil
itary hero Of the American civil war.
When Mr.. Roosevelt left home there was
already gossip in circulation about a po-
litical future for him. Some of his admirers
were predicting his return to the White
House in 1912. This was cabled abroad, and
1t explains in part the extraordinary inter
est that attaches to the man wherever he
goes. Foreigners unfamiliar with our pol
itics are greeting a visitor OF whom they
are expecting notable things In office again.
They see in him, according to their infor-
nation, both a former and a future presl-
dent Of the United States.
The silent man, whose political career
was thought to be ended, was accompanied
by one American newspaper chronicler on
his trip-a man OF the finest talents as a
journalist, whose work was much admired.
John Russell Young's letters were the de-
light of millions. of readers, The voiceful
man, still a political quantity, has a bat
TALON OF correspondents In his train, and is
every stop he makes. He is the subject of
more readable copy than any other man
Of the day.

TYpes Of civ G%overnment.

st. Joseph has just put into effect a
new city charter. which is a home
product acquired under the constitu-
tionaI provision in that state which
permits cities to formulate and adopt
their own frame of city government.
The new st, Joseph charter is de-
scribed as a halfway station between
the commission plan and the old
method of mayor and council. It's
former city council of nine members
chosen by wards gives way to a council
of Ave members chosen by the city at
large, and the powers Of the mayor are
also emphasized and extended. The
principle, of the commission plan OF
city government insofar as 1t concen.
trates authority in a fewer number OF
officials is adopted, but the separation
between the executive, administrative
and legislative branches is retained
If the city council is to be continued
its reduction to a membership of five
chosen at large is likely to destroy
representation Of different sections o.
the city, and makes 1t possible for the
councilmen to live all in the sam
block. We believe the Omaha plan o
choosing councilmen from wards, blu.
electing them at large, meets this din
Guilty In a more practical way.
Whether our American city govern
ments. will tend to conform to a singh,
type or will be built on different plan
and specifications in each case remain
to be seen. A tremendous lot OF ex
perimentation is in progress in thi
country as between various forms o
organizing and administering mu
nieipal Affairs. and apparently IT de
wolves upon each city to find the plal
best suited to its needs and to adapt
by notifications designed to make 1
conform to local conditions to give tn
best results. The perfect fitting
rsady-to-wear city charter is yet to b
made.

Lincoln is confronted with a pecu-

local traction company. which also
sells electric light and power. The
franchised corporation makes out that
IT is reaping glorious profits on the
sale of electric current, but is getting
the worst Of it on street car traffic.
and insists that it is entitled to in.

cupation tax, otherwise it would be

Attorney General. Thompson has
ruled that the special corporation tax.
imposed by the recent Nebraska legis-
l%ature, is to be computed on the actual
capital stock subscribed for and issued,
and not on the nominal amount Of
stock authorized under the articles of
incorporation as the maximum that
may be issued. This is common sense,
and the only wonder is that anyone
ever held differently. There is no
reason why a corporation should be
taxed on the privilege of increasing its
stock before it takes advantage OF the
privilege. In other words, there is no
reason why a corporation should be
taxed on something it has not got any
more than an individual ought to be
taxed on wealth he hopes some day to
have.

Swell weddings are the premier exhibits
OF feminine interest and curiosity In New
York. Bargain counter days are a close
second in numbers and an equal I'm the
pressure exerted in getting to the front.
The Gould-Drexel nuptlals was not excep-
tional as a drawing card for curious
women. Rain did not dampen their ardor,
and the wreck Of hats and gowns by jost-
ling pressure and the elements were trlfling
compared with eostacy OF a peep at the
glad clothes OF a rich bride. People in
"the Provinces" where weddings are chiefly
family epochs, scarcely realize the depth
and breadth of the interest excited by a
wedding in the millionaire row In New
York. So eager are women to get next to
the exhibit Of finery that they resort to
extraordinary devices and cheerfully a k
risk a mere man would not dream OF.
On former occasions of the kind eager
curiosity prompted women to hide over
night in dark corners of a church, glide
through coal holes In church cellars, climb
through windows, or, forming flying
wedges, overwheim ushers at back and
front doors. These experiences arc 30 COM
mon that cordons Of police are COW neces-
sary to enable those directly concerned to
participate in the ceremonies with reason
able decorum. Indeed, the disorder Of
curious throngs renders church weddings
among the uppertendom Of the big town
a show that tests the nerves Of the star
performers.

away and work In that way until they
reached the store. Then they took the
women who had been bruised, cut and
