The concert given by the Hale Oc-
tet in the Congregational church
last Thursday evening met with the
enthusiastic approval of local lovers
of good music that has invariably
been accorded the concerts given
here under direction of Harriet E.
Hale. They are all finished produc-
tons. The different numbers, all
vocal, ranged through the realm of
the better class of music, some Sc
lections being classics. The men Of
the octet are all songsters of the
thirty-second degree, each voice con-
tributing and blending excellencies
with the chorus. Miss Cora Win
ston, who has been heard here on
former occasions was accorded an
ovation upon appearing for her first
number. Miss Nina johnson was
warmly encored.

The letters which The Bee has
printed giving information as to rates
charged by auditoriums in other cities
indicate that they are governed by no
invariable rule, but that consideration
is given the public or private use for
which the building is desired. These
big auditoriums have been erected as
rule largely as public enterprises
and for gatherings Of a purely public
character calculated to bring atten-
dance OF crowds from outside without
exacting an admission, concessions are
often made. The management of the
Omaha Auditorium, which was erected
by subscription in response to general
solicitation, is also expected to dis
criminate between public and private
use of the structure.

Three Nav DAVIS.

Although the people have not yet
become fully aware of it, our late Ne
braska legislature has written labels
for three new days on our calendar.
BY statute duly enacted October IL
is henceforth to be known as "Colum-
bus day." in honor of the discoverer
of America, and to be a legal holiday.
BY the same warrant of law the
first Friday in November of each year
is to be set apart as Fire day" on
which fire drills are required in all
public, private and parochial schools.
According to the same authority,
too, the birthday of John Howard,
which occurs on September 2, Is to be
a legal holiday in all penal and re-
formatory institutions of the state
and so observed.
We have here, therefore, two holt
days of fixed date and one of movable
date, one of which, the birthday of
John howard, may occasionally fall
coincidently with Labor day, which is
the first Monday in September.
1t devolves upon all of us residing
in Nebraska to revise our calendars
to conform with these legislative
DEGREES.

President and Senate.

Evidently President Taft is none
too certain of the senate's attitude to-
ward his reciprocity measure, for he
has taken the stump in the hope OF
moulding sentiment" for the bill.
This must be more with the idea Of
Influencing the senate than the people
at large at this time, for after the bill
is enacted into law by congress, II it
should be. the public Will pass its
judgment upon the results achieved.
The president makes one point in
his New York speech regarding action
on the reciprocity measure which
seems to us eminently fair and that
that reciprocity should stand alone
and "ought not to be affected in any
regard by other amendments to the
tariff law" II ought TO stand or fall
on it's own merits, and that is why, 1t
has seemed to us the democrats were
wrong In seeking to embarrass it's
passage, II not, indeed, to compass it's
actual defeat, by submitting their
farmers free list" at this time.
Their action in this regard smacks Of
partisan politics, OF an attempt to pre-
tend to do something they really do
not want to do. Irrespective OF the
merits or demerits. II the democratic
majority In the house really believes
Canadian reciprocity TO be desirable at
this time. it seems passing strange
that they should have gone so far
with a scheme obviously calculated to
endanger its success.
The last senate let reciprocity die
for want of action, This senate may

POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.

Cleveland Leader: Miss Democracy to
Uncle Jnd" Harmon; This is so student"
st. Louis Republic: We would again call
attention to the portentous silence which
hangs over oyster Bay like funeral pail
Washington Post: The president has
been asked to name a bunch of Kentucky
triplets. How would Initiative Referen-
dunn and Recall do, papa?
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Mr.. BRYAN ia
booming Champ Clark for the presidency.
No wonder the democrats are sorry they
didn't tie bigger can to him.
Kansas City Times: Lorimer has been
made chairman of the senate committee on
mines and mining, possibly in recognition
OF the able underground work by which his
election was accomplished.
Baltimore Sun: Just because Speaker
Clark has new gavel of blackthorn, en-
olazoned with harp and shamrock, fear
need not follow that he will be called to
keep order in Donnybrook fair In con-
gress.
sacramento Union: If Abe Ruef is hon
estly trying to do some good by teaching a
Bible class at San Quentin his efforts
should not be scoffed at. He is not to be
denied the right of repentance any more
than is any other inmate of the prison.
Certainly his attempt to interest the pris-
oners in the Great Book should not be the
subject for jest and sarcasm.

Reapportionment.

The house has passed the Houston
reapportionment bill, which, in the
main, is identical with the Crum-
packer bill passed by the last house
and blocked in the senate. 1t in
creases the membership from 391 to
433, exclusive of Arizona and New
Mexico, which, when admitted, with
one representative each, will bring the
total to 435.
On the basis of the last census, this
will save every state from loss in its
congressional membership, IL the SEN
ate should pass the DILL and the presi-
dent sign It, making it a law. Many
states, however, will not gain addi-
tional members under the rearrange-
ment Twelve, or more than one
fourth of the new members, will come
from three states, New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. The New
England states will gain three, the
Pacific coast states six and the south
ern states seven. These twenty-one
states will make no gain nor loss:
Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, In
diana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Mary
land, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wis
consin and Wyoming.
| OF course. one of the chief effects
of reapportionment will be its re-
sultant enlargement of the electoral
college. Those states making gains
NATURALLY are looking to that and the
democrats are not Indifferent to the
advantages they will reap from this,
particularly in the SOUTH though some
of the newspapers down there con-
tended when the Crumpacker bill was
pending last winter that owing to
negro emigration some southern
states had made but nominal popula-
ton increases and that, therefore, the
south could not be charged with sell
fish motives in the matter of reappor-
tionment.
One of the arguments against
larger house is that it will make 1t
lunwieldy and less efficient, tending
toward centralizing OF power in
committees and the speaker. But that
has not outweighed the fact that If
left at its present number it would
mean losses to some states and conse-
quent extinction of present members
from public life.

A socialistic Sample.

The lone socialist member of con-
gress, Victor Berger, who represents
Milwaukee in the house, is inding his
new role a gay life. No man, not
even Uncle Joe sprinkling tacks in
front of Champ Clark's automobile, is
getting more real amusement out OF
it. He is a free lance, and as such
may, like the court jester, do as he
pleases with perfect impunity = know
ing the more radical he becomes the
bigger hit he will make at home.
But Congressman Berger is not go
ing after small game. He aims only
at the big birds. One day he knocks
out the federal constitution because 1t
is Anticipated and obsolete" and the
next day he abolishes the senate be-
cause it is useless functionary,
strikes from the hand of the president
the veto power and takes from the
courts the right to invalidate legisla-
ton enacted by the house of repre-
sentatives. The house and the pres
ident, shorn of authority, thus far es-
cape with their lives. But the Hon
orable Berger's term is young; give
him time and perhaps he will get
around to them.
\This evidently is socialism in its
highest form and expression, for Mr..
Berger is the arch-apostle of the
creed, the reputed boss of Milwaukee,
sharing with another exciting iniu-
ence, credit for making that city
famous. Now is the wisdom of the
Milwaukee voters apparent. 1t affords
the country a harmless taste of novel
political nostrums. Having sampled
them It is not likely to put in an or
der for a consignment Of the goods.
Berger, himself, must admit one thing,
however, namely, that with all its
drawbacks and delinQuencies the con-
stitution is a very tolerant document
and congress is a very patient body
and the nation a very powerful insti-
tuition when one and all will indulge
him and his vagaries so complacently.

Human Slaughter.

The country is indignant, and
rightly so, at such appalling and wan
ton destruction of life as that which
occurred in the blowing up of the Los
Angeles newspaper plant last autumn,
and every man who loves justice
Graves the capture and conviction of
the outlaws who commit such depre-
dations. But, though there have been
many dynamite explosions in the last
year, the Los Angeles affair is excep-
tional In the scope of it's fatalities.
We hear of few such outrages
in lifetime. On the other
hand, accidental explosions or
fires in mines and other industrial
plants occur with frightful frequency,
smiling out human lives by the scores,
and yet reports of these catastrophies
occasion scarcely a passing protest
from the average person, who has be-
come callous to such things.
No law-abiding citizen can afford to
condone or palliate wanton murder,
but neither should we longer wink at
the wholesale taking of human life by
criminal negligence. OF course,
those responsible for safe operation
of mines and other industries of q
hazardous character intend to safe
guard the lives Of their employees, but
the CHASTITY records of hundred ex-
plosions and more show they too often
negligently fail to do SO. Perhaps
we have been too squeamish in deal
ing with horrors such as have oc-
Cured within the last few weeks in
mines and factories. Maybe II the
public's attitude were changed the
prohibition and mandates of the law
would have more effect. AS. it is,
when a mine explosion or a factory
dre happens, with it's terrible toll of
lives, a formal and perfunctory inves-
tigation is held and nothing comes of
1t, except, possibly, meaningless YER
dict to the effect that the blame can
not be fixed.

one Voice for Lorimer.

KEARNEY, April 25.--To the Editor of
The Bee: l notice that you continue to
use The Bee to belittle or besmiroh Sena-
tor Lorimer / don't believe any un-
prejudiced mind can read the senator's
speech made In the United States senate
and believe he is a corrupt or bad man.
Even his enemies ooncede that he is one
Of the most exemplary men in congress.
Many of the prominent politicians who ac-
cuse Lorimer OF being corrupt have been
mixed up for years with huge campaign
funds, which are believed by many to be
more or less corruption funds.
Are these men trying to lose sight of their
own infirmities by criticising others7 You
know so. for the evidence is in the SEN
ator's favor Why should you not as q
republican editor and q member Of the
national committee stand by our friends
until they are proved guiltyP l had TO

pie OF his own district the old veteran is

reading The Bee. During the time your
father had charge, except for about three
months, Il was my political bible. But

Permit me to suggest that one OF the
most important things 70 be accomplished
In the near future is 20 abolish the So
called campaign fund. The taxpayers fur
