A Glad Hand to the Editors.

Omaha extends a glad hand to the
editors of Nebraska who are gather
ing here for the annual session of
their State Press association. Omaha
is particularly delighted to welcome
the editors because their presence
here will give us a chance to get bet
ter acquainted, and we are supremely
confident that better acquaintance
will work toward mutual advantage.
Omaha must always be willing to be
judged by what it is, by the character
OF our people, by the strength of our
business and financial enterprises, by
the high rank of our educational insti-
tutions, the activity of our churches
and religious and charitable organiza-
tons, the beauty of our public and
private buildings, by our boulevards
and parks and by the general standard
of our social life. Omaha naturally
objects to being misjudged on mere
rumor, or report, or as a consequence
of deliberate falsehood and misrep-
ASSSASoSASh W PSOPAO WhO w AOI
know what they are talking about,
and will not take the trouble to in
form themselves.
II Omaha can impress the visiting
editors during their stay with the
broadness of its public spirit and re-
move prejudices grown out of the idea
that the metropolis is actuated only
by selfish motives, disregardful of all
others interests, something worth
while will be accomplished. The peo-
pie of Omaha know better than any,
one else that the growth and prosper
ity of this city have gone hand in hand
with the growth and prosperity of the
whole state, and that 1t is as necessary
for US to help build up and develop
all parts of Nebraska as it is to build
up Omaha.
So the editors are especially well
come, because they come to see, not
only for themselves, but also for those
to whom they speak through their
newspapers. So We want them to
look at us Just as we are and take
home with them the same friendly
feeling for~us that We have for them.

The Weather.

Bill Nye used to say he liked
weather. Most people do not, though,
to judge from the average mans daily
remark Of the weather. 1t is the one
subject of common complaint, about
which, perhaps, more foolish talk is
INDUCED than most any other.
People, thoughtlessly and unwit-
tingly comment on the weather, no
matter what 1t may be. Still when one
complains a little because the mercury
goes close to 100 in the first days of
June he must not be judged too Sc
verely and put down as a chronic
kicker One thing may be said,
though, in extenuation for this sud
den blaze of glory on the part Of Old
Sol. and that is that he is playing no
favorites. 1t is hot all over the coun-
try, only hotter In some places than
others. We naturally look for hot
weather in the summer time, but this
is not summer time. That glad season
is not due to arrive until o'clock on
the morning of June 22.
In this part OF the country, how
ever, the weather thus far this year
has given us no just cause for serious
complaint. On the other hand it has
been well-nigh ideal spring. Cool
days held on just long enough aud
precipitation has been normal, while
no late frosts came to nip our fruit
and grain and vegetables. AS a re-
suit We are looking forward TO good
crops in all these lines. We are more
fortunate in this respect than people
in some other parts of the country.
In portions of the east the month Just
past was the driest May In forty
years. And even now, while we have
been sweltering in the rays of a hot
sun, others have been sweltering in
the rays of a hotter one, incredible
as that may seem.

Mr.. Carnegie Becomes Looquaoious.
Mr.. Carnegie's blunt candor in APP

The 20 and 80 per cent profits will

content with and 10 per cent.
Multi-millionaires will then be very

SO there have been 25 and 80 per
cent profits on muchly watered stocks.
Well, If government control, which
MIR. Carnegie invites and commends,
will tend toward such leveling of
conditions it might serve a good pur-
pose. All that fair-minded men ask
of the government is that it prevent
unfair dealing and the suspicion will
prevail among the majority of people
that % and 30>per cent profits, which
go to multiply colossal individual for
tunes, rest on unfair dealing.
Mr.. Carnegie is right when he says
this country will deal literally with
capital. 1t always has and it always
will. 1t must depend upon capital for
its progress and development and it
would not, if it could, cripple industry
merely for the sake of controlling it.
We doubt if any of the so-called
kings of commerce" really have any
fears Of being unfairly treated by the
government. If these men will join
frankly with the government in a sim
cere effort to reduce corporation reg
ulation to a scientific and equitable
basis they will do their country and
themselves a much better service than
by continuing to sound false alarms
every time anything is said of govern
ment control. 1t is, of course, encour-
aging to note how many of them are
doing this, too.

Britain's Rebuke to Morocco.

The British governments action in
wit rawing it's invitation to Morocco
to send a special ambassador to the
kings coronation because of cruelties
practiced by the Moor soldiers upon
women and children at Fee during the
recent raid is a just rebuke to a ma
ton permitting this barbarity. The
soldiers seized and sold women and
girls on the streets of the capital with
perfect impunity from the sultan.
Thus England serves notice on Mulai
Hafid and his people that Christian
civilization neither countenances nor
condones such atrocities. And Eng
land, under the circumstances, could
do no less. Occidental progressiveism
could endure no less. 1t is a good
time to fling in the face of Morocco
and Turkey this signal of official dis
pleasure at such inhumane practices.
OF course Moslemism has ever
held woman in cheap derision at best,
and outrages of this kind are to be
laid to that, but, nevertheless, they are
intolerable in the eyes of enlightened
powers, which have duty toward hui
manity and toward the unfortunate
people who still pursue these medieval
customs that cannot be performed by
seeming to Justify or acquiesce in
them. We may not teach the full les
son in this single act of England's,
but we will at least make Morocco
understand that so long as it commits
these outrages It cannot be admitted
to the respect of the powers that
do not. England has not only given
Morocco it's deserts in this instance,
but it has treated other nations with
eminent respect by distinguishing
them and the Moors.

"PINAFoRE'S" LIBRETTIsT.
w. $. Gilbert's Contribution to the
Enjoyment of Mankind.
New York NnrId

New York World.
The late Sir w, 8. Gilbert will long be
held in affectlonate remembrance wherever
a tune from "Pinafore" or 1.-THE Mikado'
or Patience" is sung throughout the
disappearing world.
His Bah Ballads of themselves were a
rare contribution to the fund of English
humor, but 1t was by his books" of the
series of operettas with which his own
and Sir Arthur Sullivan's fame is assocI-
ated that his gift for graceful satire was
made familiar literally to millions. They
constitute a unique light literature, I'M
matched of its kind. He was by all odds
the greatest of English librettists and his
work so fully complemented that of the
composer that any division of honors is
difficult in estimating the qualities that
contributed to the remarkable success of
the series Of perennially delightful comic
operas.
Gilbert was another of the many British
barristers who have turned from the law
to achieve fame in literature. Not the
least of the merits of his delightful irony
is its uniform sweetness and cleanness
Not a coarse line soils II anywhere and
behind its lightness lies the force of graver
satire. He exemplifed ,conspicuously the
characteristics that invest English humor
with a peculiar distinctiveness as a
medium for pure fun.
BY a coincidence of interest Gilbert's
death occurs on the day of "Pinafores s.
revival in New York. The audiences which
see that work can pay him a graceful
tribute by pausng to reflect on the debt
due him for a literary possession that will
remain Joy for years to come.

Representative Cox of Indiana believes
that there would be economy achieved by
abolishing the provision for mileage in the
case of army officers travelling under or
ders and the substitution OF actual trave
cling expenses for each mile Travelled and
no more" as contemplated in a bill Oh
r. 1OS66). This is the subject of more or
less familiarity to service people Every
now and then someone brings out this
proposition and Mr.. Cox, who has inter-
ested himself in military and naval ex-
penses this session. is the latest reformer
to bestow thought and effort in that direc-
ton. In the first place, under Mr. Coxs
bill, the existing table OF distances author
lied by the law of 1906 and prepared by the
paymaster general OF the army, would be
abolished as means OF directing routes
OF travel and in its place would be estab-
lished the nearest post routes" used
prior Of the law now in force. This would
do away with the uniform table for the
payment of mileage and there would be
much confusion on the part of those who
travel under orders. In the next place
experience has shown that the actual ex-
pense basis for official travel is cumber-
some and inconvenient as a form Of reim-
bursement, as 1t requires the preparation
penses incurred. For this reason the gov
eminent has established a statutory mile
age rate which has proven eminently salts
factory to all concerned and economical
in the long run.

One of the most important measures pre-
sented to the Sixty-second congress is the
bill Is. 5lS), introduced by Senator du
Pont chairman of the senate military COM
mittee, to provide for raising the volunteer
forces OF the United States in time OF &C
tual or threatened war. The measure has
the appreciation of the War department
and is comprehensive provision for or
ganizlng the volunteer force along practi-
cal lines, expeditiously, and with an avoid
ance Of the confusion and delay which may
occur as 1t did in 1898, unless there is some
special arrangement made to meet such q
contingency. Great care has been exer-
cised in drafting this bill so that when
military conditions require II the land
forces OF the country may be organised
into brigades and divisions and such
higher units as may be deemed necessary.
The bill avoids the provision of previous
measures for high-ranking general officers.
which feature was calculated TO provoke
much discussion and stand In the way OF
the enactment of legislation OF which there
is vital need. It is appreciated at the
capitol that the sentiment in the house. at
least, is decidedly in opposition to any pro-
vision for general officers in connection
with the organization of a volunteer force.
The conservative view is one which rec
ognizes the influence OF this prejudice and
seeks TO avoid the obstruction in a way
which has been accomplished by Mr.. 0u
Points bill. The object OF the measure Is
one which should, OF course, engage the
attention OF congress as soon as possible,
and Senator du Pont will direct his ener-
giles TO that laudable end.
