Good Men for Commissioner.

Another good man for commits
sioner to whom The Bee has already
called attention and whom 1t wishes
again to commend is Joseph b. Hum
mel. who won his nomination over
many competitors without being on
any slate or combination. Joe
Hummel is a member OF the present
city council. In which he has been
active and energetic. and In addition
his familiarity with municipal affairs
as q whole would give the city,
through him a. commissioner. the
advantage OF his special fitness and
experience with street work. public
improvements and their maintenance.
He would furthermore continue to be
approachable and sympathetic to all
classes of people. rich and poor alike,
having business with the city In
which he could assist them. A cross
mark after the name OF Hummel will
be vote for efficiency and economy
and steady progress In conduct OF our

Up to the Voters.

The responsibility OF Omaha voters
in the impending municipal election
is even greater than was that in the
primary. For the first heat in the
commission plan OF city government
contest il deyolved upon them as q
duty to reduce the entry list from
eighty-six TO fourteen. For this sec
ond and last heat it remains to pick
the seven winners who shall take
charge of our city affairs for the next
three years.
For the election as for the primary,
the new machinery OF the ballot
is specially designed to make the
popular choice really responsive TO
the will OF the majority. Nothing has
been omitted to force selection on
merit and individual judgment. As
in the primary, the ballot which will
be handed TO the voters will contain
nothing whatever but the names OF
the candidates. More than that, the
names will be rotated so that no
candidate will have advantage over
another by reason OF being at the top
more often than his competitor. the
purpose being to equalize the acct
dental or indifferent vote. The alb
sence of party labels or other
designation is supposed to obliterate
the last vestige OF psrtisanship and
TO force voting for the men rather
than for their politics. The candi-
dates have been for weeks vigorously
and vociferously presenting their
claims to the public.
II is up to the voters to do the rest.

A Useful labor Bureau.

The New York state labor depart
ment seems to have proved already
the value OF its new bureau Of in
dustries and immigration. Its annual
report shows excellent results accom-
plished, indicating what is possible
with experience and development and
furnishing an object lesson for other
states without such bureaus.
By articulating the work OF this
state bureau with that Of the federal
government under the Department OF
Commerce and Labor and working in
conjunction and cooperation with the
various foreign consuls, it becomes
possible TO do~an immense amount OF
good for the aliens coming over here
in search OF new homes. The report
OF the New York bureau says 1t has
in this first year rendered invaluable
aid to these Europeans seeking en-
ployment and also protected them
from imposition of all kinds. Or
course, to get the best results under
such a system the cooperation and
confidence Of the local foreign con-
suls or agents are necessary and at
first New York did not have these.
The foreign agents looked with mis-
giving upon the scheme, doubtless
fearing some tresspass upon their
official province, but finding they
we're entirely mistaken in this as
sumption, they turned in with a will
Ing hand to do what they could.
While adj over the country we are
concerned with the matter OF aiding
the immigrant TO get adyantageously
located-for that helps us as well as
the alien-we may well give con-
alteration to this plan. which is not
offered here as entirely unique, but
quite successful. ~

Conventional Endorsements.

The Methodist bishops in their
annual report to the general confer
ence endorse" President Taft for his
attempts to promote international
peace and denounce him as having
forfeited all claims to the franchises
OF Christian and sober manhood OF

one OF his cabinet officers delivered
an address OF welcome to an inter
national convention OF brewers held
In Washington.
Most people will, we believe. ad-
NIT that the presidents powerful in

why bother about endorsing him at
all? II seems TO us our good Metho-
dist friends are striklngly inconsist-
ent In this. 1t is extremely doubtful
II any president OF the United States
would have answered the appeals to
him TO forbid his cabinet officer at
tending a convention representing a
business which all governments have
legalized and made legitimate any
differently than did President Taft.
We need not now enter into dis
cussion OF the liquor question. but Il
might be worth while to say that
endorsements OF this character. for
and against. are apt to become too
conventional for very much real eff
feet. Somebody had to make an ad-
dress OF welcome. II seemed, to the
brewers gathered from all over the

OMAHA. May ITO the Editor OF The

resolutions objecting to the appointment
of John Long as chairman OF the mass
meeting held at Alamo hall and pre-
sented these resolutions to the Citizens
union. It was due to the efforts Of tbs
league that such a successful meeting
was had, but Mr.. Long Is very unpopular
with the membership and Is known as "a
ward boss. He has been running on the
railroads for some weeks and now steps
down for short Iayoff and assumes to
boss our organization, not even being
q member, and Is trying to force the
league to work for the success of the
Gtizens union ticket II this is the way
the Citizens union shows its gratitude,

Who is Mayor Dahlman. from the
standpoint Of a republican neighbor?
Without the slightest disparagement TO
the merits or worth OF the other thirteen
candidates for the commission. l am
going to tell you
On the night of July II. last, when the
republican statewide primaries were
opened on Greeyy's lawn. 1t was this
same Jim Dahlman that quietly came
across the street and welcomed the su-
preme court judges. the judges of the
district court and the county candidates
into his home precinct. A month later
when the doings OF that eventful night.
the passage of the Shotwell resolutions.
brought from the president OF the United
States an American flag to mark the
spot where his second term campaign
took definite form. it was this same Jim
Dahlman that caused to be emblazoned
on the welcome arch at the city hall.
Taft Flag. Welcome" 1t took mighty
big statesman and patriot TO do that. II
is the irony Of fate that this White House
flag. floating high In the air at sunset.
casts its dancing shadows on Jim Dahl
mans cottage home.
Jim Dahlman is one OF the Yry few
democrats in the state OF Nebraska that
is national figure in his party. Repuo-
llcans should bear in mind next Tuesdzy
when they are adding a few democratic
names to round out their bipartisan
ticket, that Jim Dahlman is entitled to
