Most Of this talk in congress OF
economy is buncombe, anyway. II
takes just so much money to run
this government and It does not
make a BIT OF difference whether
the money is spent by democrats or
republicans, It has to come. But the
democrats now see that It does make
a lot Of difference whether the party
crying for rigid economy is the party
in power or not. They went into
command Of the house upon very
extravagant promises OF economy,
paradoxical as that is, and now that
they are in power they are trying to
figure out a way to make good on
their pledges without jeojardizing
their political chances next year. II

Seeing America in New York.

Another young Bnglishman has

port he will have to make of the
great Missouri and Mississippi val

he can give OF the southland with

Americans are proud Of their
metropolis, second city in the world

respects, but they would never go

Democratic Economy.

Chairman Underwood OF the ways

cratic leader in the house, thus early
In the session, has warned demo-
Gratis against generous policy In
making appropriations. lest they re-
pudiate the party's platform prom
ises and program OF economy. He
opposes the Sherwood pension bill on
the score OF economy; would restrict
river and harbor improvement legis-
lation, put the soft pedal on ap-
preparations for federal buildings
and other things.
Heavy expenditures Of money by
congress are necessary. OF course. to
carry on the government, and they
increase as the demands OF the gov.
ernment increase. Il would not seem
so bad for the democratic house to
authorize immensely increased ap.
preparations were IL not for their
much advertised program OF econ
omy. Probably where they erred,
chiefly. was in making promises
which the growing needs of the eoun-

Omaha,s Forward Movement.

The closing days of the year find
Omaha citizens busy with plans for
the future. Men whose interests are
bound up in the progress OF the city
are looking ahead to the extension
OF It's business in all directions. This
healthy condition OF affairs is appar-
ent on all hands. II is not 80 much
in the announcement OF big building
enterprises the opening of new fac
tories or the establishment of new
mercantile institutions. although
these are important factors In the
citx's life; It is rather In the de-
termination to get together and push
for better things. The impending
change in the form OF government
of the city is one aspect of this
movement. That a great deal is ex-
pected from the change Is apparent.
and whether all will be accomplished
that is hoped for, the new form OF
government will have more general
support and.be less subject to unfair
criticism than has been the expert
ence in the past. Another good sign
is found In the effect OF the activities
of the civic affairs committee of the
Commercial club. This body has al
ready succeeded in getting together
business and professional men OF the
community for short seasons OF in
tercourse, and that the result has
been for good is proven by the fact
that the sessions are being anticl-
pated. In other words the spirit OF
unity is manifest. Omaha citizens
are getting together closer than
ever before. and this means great
deal for the forward movement.

Russian and American piplomaor.


For nearly eighty years Russia ut.
terly ignores its obligations and our
I rights under the treaty of 1892 but
| It scandalizes its decorum for us to
say, in abrogating tho treaty, that
1t ever thought of violating 1t.
The opposition of Russian and Amer
lean diplomacy was never more CO.
gently expressed than in the contrast
of the two nations behavior I'm this
eyentful transaction. Russia never
has known any diplomacy except
of the variety which puts out of all
consideration the rights Of another
nation or Russia's obligation to
respect them. Comfy Is not now
and never has been a part OF Russian
amenities.
The United States will win. Of
course, by its action In this crisis of
national patience. It has, under the
judicial temperament of President
Taft, displayed great forbearance
and acquitted itself with fine aplomb
in the eyes of nations accustomed 10
respect the rights Of others. particu-
larly those with which they enter
into treaty relations. Undoubtedly
IT would have been an error to have
abrogated the treaty under the Sui
zeT resolution and yet, while we
choose to accord diplomatic feeling
for Russian respect, we do so only
because OF our superior sense OF the
importance Of Americas position be-
fore the world. We cannot afford to
be goaded, even by so poignant a
pain as Russia, in these four score
years. has inflicted upon us, into
adopting the method of an inferior
power simply as means of retalia-
tion. If our action in this case does
not teach Russia a lesson then 1t is
not our fault. The opportunity
came to us and we would have been
remiss in our duty not to have en-
braced It. This nation, therefore,
has the president to thank for seeing
the opportunity and accepting It in
stead of missing it in the storm of
resentment against Russian intrigue
and perfidy. The result we sought
was the abrogation OF the treaty.
That we achieve and save ourselves
from the blunder Of engaging in a
quarrel with Russia. or inviting a
needless dissolution OF all other re-
lations. We have much to give Rus
sia, which could not easily be con-
tributed except through the instru-
mentality OF amicable intercourse.
An interesting feature attending
the abrogation of this compact is the
power of the president to act in such
matters Independent of congress and
the whole proceeding takes on a
kindly aspect to us since, the passion
in the house that threatened scenic
objections to the executives calm
ness melted into concord.

Senate ,surrendcrs to Tip..

For many years It has been a rule Of
the United States senate that no waiter
employed In the restaurant on the ground
floor should be allowed to receive a tip.
The rule was adopted because somebody
thought the walters were getting too
avaricious. However, it never was en-
forced until the last session. Then there
appeared on all copies of the bill Of
fare a notice to the effect that tipping
was forbidden and that walters who took
tips were liable TO discharge. But even
at that the tipping went on. Some people
took advantage Of the rule and saved
their change; but most Of the patrons OF
the restaurant paid no attention to It.
particularly the senators.
Last week there was a convention OF
walters in Washington and, naturally, IL
discussed tips. 1t was unanimously agreed
by the walters that tips were entirely
proper and that any attempt to forbid
them was an invasion of the rights Of
the man in the apron. They all agreed
TOO. that the American citizen who was
not willing to tip the waiter did not
amount to much.
The no-tip injunction has disappeared
from the menu of the senate restaurant
Whether the walters convention had any
thing to do with this is a mystery. 1t
follows so closely upon last weeks or
ganized Indignation over the anti-tip
movement, however. that there is a gen
eral understanding that the senators
were unable to resist the pressure 1t
does not make much difference, because
the rule was as much OF a dead letter as
the Sherman law was until attorneys
general began to enforce it.
