Greed Promotes public Nuisance.

bIoohl4h hhble'
There is a natural disposition in this
country not to interfere in another mans
business unless that business becomes an
intolerable public nuisance. That explains
the federation Of the bill board advertis-
ing up to the point where the choicest
scenery is defaced and degraded and the
eye OF the traveller is bombarded by a
succession of advertising signs, which
largely shut out natural beauties and
which irritate the seeker for such beauties
to the point at which the intermittent
gIimpses of mountain and river fall to
soothe. Somebody makes money out Of
this barbaric yawp of signs, and the rooted
objection to interfering with another mans
source Of income has permitted the orgy
to go on to the point of becoming a
national nuisance.

AnglO.Amerioan Arbitration.

British sentiment seems 70 be
unanimously in favor of the Taft pro-
posal for an Anglo-American treaty
Ito abide the adjudication OF an in
ternational arbitral court In every is
sue that cannot be settled by arbitra-
ton" The church and the press are
strongly supporting il and commend
Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre-
tary, for his espousal Of the proposal.
One paper goes so far as to declare
that this would be the most impor-
tant and benefieent achievement of
the twentieth century, short OF univer-
sal disarmament"
Here, then, is evidence that ought
to be complete OF England's readiness
TO work toward a great Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance. All these manifesto
tions are made in the face OF the
fact that Japan stoutly opposes the
plan because It would terminate the
alliance that country has with Brit
ain. England's preference for such a
compact with the United States can
not now be doubted This should af-
ford encouragement for the negotia-
lions preliminary to a contamination
OF the plan Such an achievement
would be a distinct triumph in d.
plOmacy.
The treaty would. indeed. exert a
powerful influence for world peace

UPLIFT OF THE MULE.
Growing Appreciation OF Power, Pa
thence and, Heel Precision. s:- Z


Columbia Is. c. State,
The price OF mules is higher than IT has
ever been and commenting on this per-
fectly right fact, The Omaha Bee casually
observes that the popularity Of the auto
mobile has not depressed the pecuniary
estimation In which mules are held. Our
contemporary might have gone further.
The automobile has enhanced the stand
ing Of the mule in the community and has
contributed to its uplift. II has presented
that peculiar background long needed by
the mule to assure the recognition that he
deserves.
While It is not intended here to say that
the mule has pushed aside the automobile
In the affections OF the public or gained
popularity at the automobiles expense 1t
Is certain that the lovers Of mules, some
time accustomed to take them for granted
and look upon them indifferently, have I'M
dergone change in their attitude by rea-
son of the automobiles entrance. A man
who believes In a mule is likely TO dis
believe in an automobile and, seeing the
weak points Of the latter, the sharply con-
trasting strong points in the mule suddenly
and powerfully dawn upon him and over
whelm him with a sentiment Of remorse
for having failed to appreciate him duly
in the past. Consequently he Is ready TO ex-
press his regard for good mule in terms
Of three times as much money as formerly.
When he hears the owner of an automo-
bile say that 1t Is a ''3O-horsepower ma
chine" he does not dispute IT, but he
knows fun WELL though ne keep it TO him
self, that 30 mule power car has never
yet been and never win be built. Fixed
in this conviction, he eagerly pays what
ever price may be demanded for the kind
OF mule that he covets and remembers that
the mule may some day be of service in
an emergency, the neighbor owning an
automobile.

Just a Salary Grab.

A bill has been struggled through
the legislature and is now before the
governor for his signature, raising the
salary limits of the four deputy county
attorneys In Douglas county from the
present minimum of $1,000 and max
imum of $500 to a minimum Of
$4,000 and maximum of $4,000.
This is Just salary grab that ought
to have been nipped in the bud, and
should be scotched now 1t is posi-
BILE that the chief deputy OF the county
attorney who now gets $500 and
ONCE, telephone and stenographer ac-
commodations-in all equal to about
81, S0O-shOuld have more money, but
the other three deputy county attor-
neys are overpaid now for the work
they,do. AS a matter Of fact, the cost
of this Office should be reduced for the
benefit OF the taxpayers instead of en-
larged; it could be cut down by max
ing one of the deputies serve as city
prosecutor instead of having deputy
county attorney and a city prosecutor
both standing around the police court
waiting for something to turn up.
This bill was introduced and pushed
through the legislature by a law part
ner of one of the present deputies,
which is sufficient explanation. If
Governor Aldrieh wants to do the tax
payers of Douglas county a service he
will veto the salary grab

Omaha auto speeders, whose reck-

Omaha Investments for Omaha Money.

Omaha Investments for Omaha Money.
Omaha people have made more
money out of investments In Omaha
enterprises than they have out of in
vestments outside of Omaha. This is
broad statement, but, generally
speaking, we believe it cannot be sue
cesstully disputed. We do not refer
to mere speculation, but to legitimate
industry. The opportunities offered
by Omaha for profitable investment
in commercial and Industrial ventures
are equally, If not more promising,
than those presented in any other city
In the west In a word, Omaha peo-
pie with money to put into real bust
ness undertakings holding out every
assurance OF satisfactory terms do not
have to go outside of Omaha. Omaha
still needs foreign capital for its
further development, and while asking
strangers to come in and share our
growth and prosperity, our own mon
eyed men ought to prove their faith
by their works.

BY the time the troops forming the man
euver division" are ready to return from
Texas and southern California the military
authorities may have reached some Inn
portant conclusions in the matter Of the
stations Of troops and the duration of duty
at posts beyond continental limits. There
is an indication that the president VIII de-
eide that the tour of duty of troops in the
Philippines and in the Hawaiian Islands
shall be for three and possibly four years,
instead Of two years, as at present Mr..
Taft has long entertained the view that the
period OF duty Of troops in the Philippines
should be extended. and he bases this on
his own experiences In the ISLANDS. He
recognizes that, II the troops were kept
abroad for three or four years, there would
be a material reduction in the amount OF
travel now involved in changing stations
every two years Whatever is done in the
way of re-establishing the tour OF duty
in the Philippines and in Hawaii win
undoubtedly apply to the periods spent by
the troops which will form the defensive
force along the Panama canal.
There is also a suggestion that steps be
taken to establish divisional camp, with
the ultimate purpose OF converting Il into
dency Of troop concentration is toward d.
visional dimensions, as being mode econom-
ical Of admiration and more efficient
in a military way than the brigade post,
which has shown such an improvement in
those characteristics over the regimental
post OF course, a permanent divisional
post would require congressional action
as a law, enacted in 1906, prohibits the es-
tablishment OF any military post within
the United states without express author
ity Of congress. The return of the troops
from Texas and Southern California will
obviously afford an opportunity TO make
any changes in station which may be con-
sidered necessary. The situation may also
be regarded by the president as creating
the necessity for extending the tour Of
duty Of troops in the Philippines, the re-
turning regiments from which this year
are confronted with the prospect Of having
their orders OF transfer indefinitely sus-
pended

The president will find awaiting him for

missal. One is the case OF First Lieutenant
Leo d. Dannemiller, L. s. A. retired, who
has been on duty with the organized mill
tia of West Virginia since May, 1910. Re
ports were made to the War department
that that officer was intoxicated while on
duty. Another case is that First Lieutenant
James L. Craig, Second infantry, on duty
at Fort Assinniboine, Mont, who is also
charged with drunkenness. The third case
Is that of Captain Boss Reese Of the Philip
pine scouts, against whom a variety Of
more or less sensational charges were filed
at the headquarters Of the Philippines di-
vision. These allegations were sent to
Washington and carefully considered, but
most OF them were found to be supported
only by testimony which could not be re-
garded as acceptable by military court.
In addition to this circumstance, It was
found that much prejudice existed against
the officer among those OF his command
on account Of the alleged severity OF his
disciplinary measures. The trial was con-
Quoted on the charge Of drunkenness.

The War department authorities have
under consideration the project Of reor-
ganlzing the cavalry arm. The initial step
will be taken at once in an experimental
way by forming two provisional regiments
Of the augmented strength Of the Eleventh
cavalry, now serving with the militia di-
vision I'm Texas. Each OF these provisional
regiments will be composed of six troops
which will make a regiment as large as
that OF any reglmental cavalry command
in any other army The present cavalry
organization Of twelve troops to a regl-
meht is unwieldy, and the theory is that
there will be greater efficiency In a regi-
ment OF six troops Colonel James Parker
who IL in command OF the Eleventh cav
airy, will probably command one of the
provisional regiments. while some other
cavalry officer, yet to be selected, will be
in command of the other regiment. The
work devolving on these regiments will
be under the general supervision Of Colonel
Parker, with General w. S. Schuyler as
brigade commander. Naturally, Major
General W. H. Carter, who is IN command
Of the troops in Texas, takes a great in
terest in the now organization. The re-
suits Will be awaited with considerable
Interest as they are bound TO have direct
bearing upon cavalry reorganization.

created dental corps, which is to be a
part Of the army medical department
There are at present thirty-one OF these
dental surgeons No more will be com

Rod the original appointees to the dental
corps must serve as acting dental sur
geons with the same official status, pay

This. provisional service OF three years IL
necessary to establish eligibility to ap-

rank OF first lieutenant The number Of
commissioned officers in the corps is lin
tied to sixty, and It is possible, under ex-
listing law, to have some twenty-seven ad-
diuonal acting dental surgeons. 1t was
hoped at the end of three or four years to
have somewhere near sixty commissioned
