Right now Is perhaps a judiclous time
to establish beyond possible per~adven-
ture the often vexing question OF who's
who in this mans town. 1t is decidedly
peTplexing upon great public occasions
that nobody in Lincoln seems to know
definitely Just who is eft" The question
ought, for the peace of mind and the
stately dignity of the city, 10 b de-
termined right now before there comes
time for another unseemly controversy.
II we cannot upon the spur OF the
moment agree upon the conclusion that
when the president visits the capital OF
the state the governor is the proper per-
son to greet him, to ride with him and
and to eat next to him. then by all
means let's determine who Is The fell
lows who are quick to claim these little
distinctions and responsibilities can
hardly be relied upon to adjust the
nooted question 20 the entire satisfao-
ton of each other and the public for the
one that gets the strangle hold Is quite
sure 10 keep It.
lincoln Is a little more unfortunate in
this matter than Is Omaha. for when
the president comes to the metropolis

No Arbitrnry Rule. fnr nr.,s.

An eastern railway company has
issued orders that all its passenger
train conductors shall wear only
black neckties. The blue clothing
and brass buttons and caps were not
enough to identify them with their
calling.
While neither the conductor nor
the public may be able 10 see the
sense or need Of such q ruling. It can
probably be enforced by the railroad.

may prefer . red, OF yellow or brown
