Some are inclined to believe that
a coat of tarvia would improve Com
merce street. Maybe so, but first
let US have the dirt scraped off and
then if Council wants to make a per-
manent job of it, borrow the money
and brick Commerce street from end
to end like Main. No use wasting
money experimenting. What is
worth doing at all is worth doing
right.

How often it happens! The Mid
dletown Transcript in its last issue
draws a lesson from a recent horse
stealing case of which a Smyrna
man was a victim and comments at
length on erich Thieves versus
Poor Ones" The local opinion pre-
walls that the Anderson youth was
not altogether accountable. How
ever, the Transcript argues the case
which if the young mans account
ability is not questioned, is timely
and to the point. 1t says:
"Ralph Anderson, the young horse
thief, when caught confessed to the
commission of the following four
crimes: l. In March the stealing
and selling of the horse, buggy.
harness and robe of G. W. Rhoades,
in Middletown. 2. In April, the
stealing of j. R. Sudler's horse,
buggy, harness and robe of Smyrna.
8. The stealing in March of an over
coat in Middletown. a. The carry
ing of concealed deadly weapons.
The property he stole was worth be-
tween $500 and 5000. We learn that
Attorney General Gray has entered
nolIe pross 20 all four of these grave
crimes and enlarged the youth on
5000 parole ga few days ago the
Delaware press was jubilating on
the swiftness with which another
young man who only stole $50
about the twentieth part of Ander-
sons horse stealings-was railroaded
to Jail, but six hours between the
commission of his small offense and
his lodgment in Greenbank. Why
this marvellous difference in the ad-
minstration of justice % in these
two cases?
sis it because thief No. 2 was
poor and friendless-possibly didn' t
come of good family; while thief
No. / was of a good family and had
a rich father? Must we say, then,
that it is duly determined by the at
torney-general and the court that il
is no offence in the State of Della
ware for a rich mans son to stea
horses at least twice, but that it il
a grave offence for poor youth t
steal one-twentieth as much money
If so, horse stealing-at least up t.
two teams and value of s900-wil
be a reasonably safe occupation fo
a rich mans son and only hazardou
for a poor mans son.
''It is Furthermore judicially de
termined in this truly remarkabl
case, that it is no infraction of tn
penal code of Delaware for hors
thief of good family to carry
concealed deadly weapon-but it
for a poor, homeless tramp to
so."

The good order which prevailed
Saturday night shows what can be
done when an effort is made on the
part of our police officers. Alder
man Grow put on two. extra police
and with the Loafing Ordinance"
conspicuously posted, every officer
was told his duty with the result
that the conduct and decorum on our
treets was better Saturday night
than it had been for weeks. Let
the good work keep up. There is
no excuse for lawlessness and dis
order if our officers keep continually
"on their job and do their duty.
Drunkenness and rowdyism should
never be tolerated and if the officers
will be as vigilant as they were
Saturday night, peace and good
order is bound to prevail.

City Hall Stirred
Up Over Veto of
the Charter Bill
Officials Feel Sorry for the City and
Because Their Salaries Are
Not Increased.

Weeping, wailing and gnashing Of teeth
resounded through the broad corridors of
the city hall at noon Friday when the an
nouncement that Governor Aldrich had
vetoed the bill for the revision of the city
charter was made.
City officials and members OF the council
who happened TO be in the building threw
up their hands and lamented the fact. They
stated that the city had been ruined and
that Omaha had taken a backward step.
They also bewaiIed the situation that will
face the citizens OF Omaha for the next
two years. Also that many officials will
have to work for much less than their ser
vices are worth and that the various de-
partments will be handicapped to a
marked extent
Charges that misrepresentation had been
made by those who opposed the revision
bill were frequent and also that various
departments would be Handicapped.
In direct opposition small coterie who
had not been included In the sal
airy grab and whose departments had
been overlooked in the general dis
position of additional funds wore broad
smiles and shook hands with themselves.

Mr.. Lagoun was in Chihuahua, a few
miles from where the present hostilities
are holding sway. He said The reports
Of fighting in Mexico and especially along
the border are greatly exaggerated. OF
course there have been shrmshes, but
they amounted to practically nothing. This
is an age Of progressiveness and prosperity
and young men in all countries are coming
10 the front, much against the desires Of
their elders. The situation In Mexico is
simply that. The younger men are forging
