The Reason Whv.

The World-Herald tries to make out
that the reason the commission plan Of
city government carried by such deci-
sive najorities in Omaha is to be
found in disgust OF republicans at the
outcome of the late primaries. The
World-Herald opposed the commission
plan as vigorously as It dared and evil
IDENTIFY imagines this explanation will
let it down easier, but II is altogether
too flimsy. AS a matter OF fact there
is less dissatisfaction among republi-
cans at the outcome of their primary
than there is among democrats over
the result Of their primary, which
loaded the democratic ticket down SO
heavily with political deadweights
The commission plan carried, IL any
one wants to know, because the people
of Omaha are tired OF democratic mis-
rule and extravaganza in the city hall
and have become convinced that any
change will be a change for the better.

The needles in session here have duly
admonished one another to drop the
commercial spirit from their profession
and go back to the customs OF the
physicians of nifty years ago. That is
excellent advice, which they are certain
not to follow any more than the sur
geons will go back to cupping and
bleeding. The modern medic uses a
high speed automobile to reach the pa
tient first for fear some other doctor,
similarly summoned by telephone, may
get ahead of him and crowd him out.

Breaking Up British Estates.
In the light Of early results It is much
easier to see why the noble landlords Of
Great Britain fought 50 fiercely against the
scheme OF land taxation embodied in the
original Lloyd George budget. Vast areas
OF land capable Of producing a great va
riety Of crops have not been under culti-
walton for years, being given up to hunt
ing parks. Mile afer mile OF idle land
stretch away on both sides OF the high
ways, the pheasant walk OF game preserve
of lord or duke. to which hunting parties
are invited once or twice year Formerly
these lands were an insignificant source
OF taxation. Now with taxation based on
government valuation and progressive
tax on the increment, the noble holders of
vast estates are already disposing Of the
land. The duke OF Bedford recently dis
posed OF $500 acres in tracts ranging from
$50 to 400 acres The lowest price was so
and the highest 800 per acre, q price re-
earded as eminently satisfactory for a
country where agriculture lie said to be
suffering from chronic depression"
Equality in taxation has not only disposed
of a national deficit; it is acting as a wedge
to split up idle estates. TO increase the
number OF farms and farmers. and con-
tribute to the economic well-benR OF the
people. A measure so fiereely denounced
by the land owners two years ago Is likely
to prove an epoch in the agricultural prog
ress OF the kingdom.

Tribute to a Faithful Pastor.


CREIGHTON, Neb., Sept. ito the Ed
itor of The Bee: Last Sunday september
8, was a great day for St. Ludger's church
Of Creighton. 1t was especially SO for Rev.
william windolph. who for ten years has
faithfully performed all the duties that
could be hesped upon the pastor Of young
and flourishing church. After a month S
absence Father Windoiph reached home to
officiate there last Sunday and to arrange
for beginning next day a years campaign
for the lesions Of st. Ludger's academy.
Around the church after the later mass
spectators could readily zee that some
thing unusual had awakened the swarming
hive and swaysd the sxpeetant people.
Angry bees inflict . painful sting. while
otherwise we get from them honey stores,

among the conspirators Messrs. Donahue,

captains Of the hosts of Israel" Why,
these are the very men who In recent years
enabled Father Windolph to traverse the
path Of progress. With their aid church.
rectory and academy climbed to the level
OF independence and responsibility, and by
an extension Of boundaries additional i'm
portance was simultaneously brought to
St. LudSer's tiny kingdom. With the same
assistance all church debts have recently
been wiped away. although this conquest
cost Father Windolph nearly 1900. Over
all the glorious field during the reign Of
prosperity Father windolph always has
been the sole acknowledged chief. To him
was assigned all the work OF both Moses
and Aaron during the long journey from
Egypt to the Promised Land
Well, to such a shepherd of such flock
what harm can be done now? Reader, the
harm was only this: Father Windolph was
brought into q sort of ambuscade and there
q purse "as large as a sack of flour" was
given him by Mr.. @. NJ. Mullen. An ad-
dress also Of proper length and flavor went
with the purse and, for the Rev. Astor.
many were the expressions OF good will
from surrounding friends. The purse was

prise and evoked words OF gratitude from
his heart

women's Rights in Persia.

women's Rights in Persia.
The fighting suffragettes Of London who
are wasting muscle and losing power on
trifles should betake themselves to Persia
where conditions challenge their sturdiest
knocks. During a session of the Persian
Parliament at Teheran clause in the cleo
ton bill under discussion provided that no
woman should vote. To the surprise Of the
solons not only was there objection, but
the deputy from Hamadan delivered a long
speech In which he declared that women
have souls. that they should have their
rights and therefore votes. He called on
the clergy to support him, ana on the
AuJtahid, the head OF the Persian re-
ligion, by name. That gentleman got up
and stated that never IN his life had his
ears heard such an impious utterance"
He declared emphatically that women have
neither souls nor rights, that such a doc.
trine meant the lowufall OF Islam, and
that It made his hair stand on end to hear
it spoken in Parliament. The remarks OF
the impious deputy were stricken from the
journal and the clause passed.
