MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Mrs. Otto Dahljelm Barely Escapes
Death When Horse Falls
From Ice Cave Road Down
the Steep Hill.

Monday evening Mrs. Otto Dahl
Jelm and daughter Hildegaard were
out riding on their saddle horses and
while riding on the ice cave road
about ten rods west of the cave they
met an automobile driven by Sever
Olson. While the machine was
stopped near them the chug of the
machinery frightened Mrs. Dahl
jelm's horse and in the excitement
lost his footing on the edge of the
road and fell, Mrs. Dahljelm just
throwing herself from his back in
time, which was certainly mighty
fortunate for her, as the horse roll
ed over and over down the steep
side of the hill about 200 feet to
the edge of the river, where it was
so badly hurt, breaking its shoulder
and bruising itself up so frightfully
that it was put out of it's misery by
DIR. Leonard, after he saw it was
useless to try to save the animal,
which by the way was a very valu-
able saddle horse, secured by Mr..
Dahljelm about three weeks ago,
and one he wouldn't have parted
with fer $500.
Mrs. Dahljelm escaped practically
unhurt, which her many friends will
be glad to hear.

Renress Imnulsive Patriotism

Senator stone of Missouri II he had
his way, would by now have the
United States plunged into war with
Mexico. That might be one way Of
reuniting the Mexican factional
forces, but reunion by such means is
not what we want. 1t is all very
gratifying to find the actual demo-
cratic leader of the senate applauding
the republican president for what he
has thus far done on the border, and
even his sentiment in wishing to give
the president carte blanche in proceed
ing with the situation, is very pleas
ing, but there ends all satisfaction
with Senator Stones impulsive patri-
otism. In fact, HIS utterances, and
even his language, beyond that point
provoke the impotence of some of the
strong conservatives of the senate on
both sides, republican and democratic.
Senators Root and Bacon go so far as
to declare that Senator Stones pro-
posal to empower the president to use
the army as he may see At on the Dor
der is, in itself, a declaration of war
and not to be tolerated.
This is no time for violent speech
or careless action at Washington, and
there is little likelihood that this gov
eminent will be easily misled by either
into a false position on the Mexican
affair There is every reason to be-
lieve that peaceful measures will meet
all our demands and it would be evil
dence of a decided weakness on our
part to employ force before there was
occasion for it. Mexico is not so
wrought up over its own trouble that
it wants to borrow new and more seri-
GUS trouble from us. That is made
very plain by the prompt revision and
moderation of the De la Barra note
in reply to the State departments de-
mand for assurance that there shall
be no more careless firing across our
boundary line.

LOrimer Case in Other States.

The Lorimer case is being made an
issue in the senatorial fight in Ken
lucky, where Congressman Ollie
James is aspiring to the seat now held
by Senator Paynter, one of the cham
pions of Lorimer in the recent contest.
1t has likewise been carried into New
Hampshire, whose senators also stood
by Lorimer. This is not at all sur
prising, and if it enters into local
fights in other states it will be but a
natural consequence, for politically it
offers too good an opportunity to be
ignored
But In southern states whose sena-
tors stood with Lorimer the issue is
peculiarly prolific of campaign thun-
der, for in addition to the odium at
tached to the election of Lorimer to
the senate, he was one of the sup
porters of the so-called force" bill.
which aimed at fair ballot in the
south by enfranchising the colored
man. But this, of course, is not the
way Ollie James and other southern
democrats put it, as is shown from
this statement by the Kentuckian in a
recent campaign speech at Lexington:
Lorlmer, the blonde boss" from Chicago,
is the man who voted for the force bill to
reduce southern representation, to place
back upon the white people of the south
the black rule of negro domination and who
voted to unseat democrats who were elected
by the voice Of the people from southern
states.
Mr.. James is shrewd and not given
to overlooking bets of this kind. It
requires only a knowledge of the facts
and conditions to appreciate the
weight Of such an argument as this
down south. The fact that a south
ern senator voted to retain in his seat
northern senator with a cIouded
title will not carry near the influence
with the hoi polloi as will the fact that
southern senator voted for a north
ern senator who voted for the force
bill. If Senator Paynter succeeds
against Ollie James he at least has a
fight on his hands that will make him
very busy man between this and the
meeting of the legislature in 1913,
which will arrange for the succession.

Advertising in Esperanto.

The Los Angeles Chamber of Com
MERGE has commissioned a representa-
tive to go to Europe and advertise the
city in Esperanto the universal Ian
guage-to-be. Are the city's virtues
so fine that they must be told only In
this tongue, or is 1t that they have
been preached In every other form OF
speech until there is nothing more to
be said? In answer to all questions
Los Angeles simply says that, though
people in this country may not realize
it, 2 100000 persons are today talking
in Esperanto, and that this is the Ian
guage which one day will be universal
That commercial travellers have tired
of hooking their tongues around new
idioms and accents of speech every
time they cross a new boundary line
and have learned Esperanto, by means
of which they are exploiting their
goods abroad.
Just how and where this fts the
Los Angeles case is little difacult to
see, but IL must mt somewhere. OF
course, it would never do to preach
the gospel of live city in a dead Ian
guage, hence Sanskrit, Greek or Latin
would never do, to say nothing of the
more archaic forms. Only in the
terms of twentieth century eloquence
can the virtues of the new west be ex-
tolled.
We have not the least doubt that
Los Angeles will get the advertising
out of it which It seeks-indeed we
are throwing this in for good measure
but il would do we'll TO accompany
the official spokesman with enough
Interpreters to talk to as many diff
ferent eountrymen as he happens to
meet, in case he fails to find the Es-
perantists sufficiently grouped to-
gether to make good sized audiences.
But California is a gay state. Its
people enjoy a good stroke OF enter
prise especially when in this event.

Municipal Square Dealing.

Omaha seems destined to have its
hands full for a little while with its
various so-called franchised or public
utility corporations. The Immediate
and compulsory" purchase of the
water works has been in process for
eight years; a controversy with the
gas company over street lighting has
been dragging in and out Of the courts
for three years and the electric light
ing company, whose franchise has col
lided with court decision, is prepar-
ing to seek new bill of rights. This
enumeration will not be complete
without reference to the Independent
Telephone company, which is in the
hands of a receiver and defaulted on
its taxes and royalties, and bound to
ask for readjustment before long. II
there is any city in the country of
Omahas size which has more public
service problems on its hands at one
and the same time than has Omaha it
has not disclosed it's identity
The question that propounds itself
is, VIII Omaha. facing the expensive
bungles of it's Water board profit by
its own sad experience, or will it con-
tinue to grapple with these important
problems in reckless disregard Of cost
and consequences? The one thing
where Omaha has suffered most in its
negotiations with the water company
has been in the loss of reputation for
fair and square dealing. The Water
board undertook to take advantage of
every agreement for the benefit of the
city and to repudiate every contract
obligation which seemed onerous or
distasteful. AS a result Omaha has
been put in the reputation class by
many investors and capitalists and
Omaha's agreements have come to
pass current only when reinforced by
judicial decree.
Our people ought to know that a
city's credit and standing, like that of
a business house or individual, de-
Ponds upon keeping faith in every bar
gain entered into without fraud, and
that city whose agreements are dis
trusted, like man with impaired
credit, suffers as a bad risk. The Bee
is not here offering any solution of
the franchise troubles impending ex-
cept this, that If the city wants to deal
with it's public service corporations it
should deal with them open and above
board; it should live up in good faith
to all its past obligations, exact
reasonable and compensatory terms
for new favors and proceed on the
theory that contract is binding on
both Sides and not to be repudiated
or evaded by trickery or skullduggery
by either of them.

Limitations of Monopoly.

control by one concern OF more than 50 per
cent OF the country's production In any

the government should draw the line there

trust restriction. This proposition was

Flying Season Opens.

Boston makes another claim to dis
tinction as the center Of higher educa-
ton by founding school of aviation.
It's newspapers announce that Flying
school opens in May" and THE flying
season in New England will soon be
upon u.s." Fourteen students are to
take the entrance exams, but how
many will matriculate is doubtful, for
the faculty declares that Temperament
tai fitness for plotting an aeroplane In
the air must first be determined. Evil
IDENTIFY the institution is co-educa-
tional, for no statement to the con-
trary is given out. This will scarcely
meet the appreciation of some folks,
who think that woman is not even
temperamentally qualified for auto
ing, let alone awaiting. But there is
difference in the danger, of course
that of aviation involving only the
flyer, herself, while that OF automobil-
ing hazards the safety of pedestrians
and persons in other vehicles.
Such nonchalance about a thing of
this sort would, only few years ago
have been regarded as the wanderings
of deranged mind, and yet these
professors" discuss the details of
their science with as much abandon
as tutor in Latin would talk of a
simple construction in Caesar or scan
ming Virgil. Nor is this Boston school
the first of the kind, not even the sec
ond. Atlanta, Ca, has one which is
the alma mater of the founder of Bos-
toms college. One scarcely realizes
with what celebrity modern progress is
pushing along One milepost is
hardly reached until another looms
up. Only a scant interval elapses be-
tween the automobile, prodigious as 1t
seemed, and the airship.
But now IL is time to pause, for,
with all the spectacular demonstra-
lions made by the airman-and they
have been made at fearful cost to
human life-the science of aerial nav
igation is nowhere near a practical
stage. These thrifty American money
makers may go ahead with their little
schools, teaching people the rudiments
in scaling the air, but that is very
different and very far from reducing
aviation TO anything resembling prac-
teal utility. Nature. after all, is
slow to yield her inner secrets and it
probably will be long time before
the theories taught in these "practi-
cal" schools of aviation will become
methods OF practical use.
