Speaking Of the automobile show which
will be held in Omaha this week. a real
estate dealer remarked the other day that
fully half the realty firms Of the city
now use automobiles In their business.
Five years ago cnly three or four firms
used automobiles, then considered a lux
ury. but now almost a necessity in the
business. An automobile ride is an at

TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
This Year Promises to Be Good One

calf to Rent Downtown Property

Even though few large buildings are In
sight. this year promises to be good
year for building, because a large num-
Der Of residences are being planned, say
members Of the local real estate frater-
nifty. Several firms which have made It
a practice to erect buildings and sell
them ready made are planning an IN
usually large number of houses for this
season, and they say the number OF those
who will build for themselves will be
equal to the number Of the last few years.
Officers Of the building and loan associa-
tons. who are closer in touch with the
situation than anybody else. say the be-
lief Of the real estate men is well
founded.

The Sane Fourth Fund.

The citizens in charge OF the plans for
Independence day ceremonies in Wash
tngton have issued a public appeal for
subscriptions which should be promptly
productive of results. Up to date only about
half OF the amount required to insure a sue
cessful performance has been contributed
and II will be necessary to raise the re-
mainder quickly unless the program Is to
be materially curtailed or the committee
is compelled TO proceed and trust to luck
to get the balance later. There should be
no question about an abundant fund for
this purpose Washington has no desire
to return to the old method Of "celebrat-
ing" Independence day by noise and dis
turbance. injury and destruction. 1t is
no longer necessary to cite statistics re-
garding the losses involved in the old
style Of observing the Fourth OF July.
The records give ample proof Of the GRIM
inal folly Of permitting unrestrained use
OF explosives by adults and children on
that day. and throughout the United
States there is a determination to aban-
don the barbaric practices which have
led in the past to so many sacrifices and
so much sorrow and suffering. The ap-
peal for funds for the Washington cele-

Bury the Wires

II Is to be hoped that the storm OF
Sunday afternoon which swept this re-
gion will result in a Fastening of the
work OF burying the wires between cities
which was begun on some railroads in the
east few years ago. after the Inaugural
ton storm of 1909 effectually demon
stratSd the danger of depending upon
aerial conductors for electriS transmits
sion in the operation of the lines. The
storm of 1909 emphatically proved that
pole-borne wires cannot be relied upon.
In this vicinity scarcely single line re-
manned intact after the wind and sleet
had subsidized. The news of the Inaugural
ton was sent out Of Washington pri-
marily by wireless, while the detailed story
was distributed throughout the north and
west over a single telegraph wire which
remained intact leading to the south.
On Sunday considerable trouble was caused
by the breaking of overhead wires be-
tween the cities, trains were delayed in
consequence of this interruption of COM
munications. and althougbthe damage was
by no means as extensive as three years
ago, 1t emphasized the folly of this mode
of transmission. The Star has repeatedly
pointed out the ease with which electric
conduits can be maintained along rail-
road tracks for telegraph transmission.
and 1t is remarkable that the common
sense of the proposition has been SO
slowly recognized. 1t may take another
widespread, devastating storm like that
OF 1909 10 bring the railroad and tele-
graph companies to an appreciation OF
the necessity of quicker work in the
burial Of all wires

An OyerplayeG Game.

Stanreding a political convention Is by
no means as easy IS ii may seem to be
in terms of pre-convention boasting. Yes
terday's performances in the Auditorium
al Chicago proved that it is difficult to
swing delegates off their feet when they
have been instructed, and especially when
suspicion OF the use of strenuous and
possibly mercenary measures of per
suasion has become rife. Partisans will
shout and parade and perform in GYM
nastic enthusiasm, bands will play catchy
tunes. women will wave flags and cos
TUNED hirelings will prance about In vain
when each side is determined. The SIAM
pede comes not from such beginnings.
1t may start from fear of defeat for the
hitherto supported candidate. or at a
time when every device seems to have
been exhausted to break a deadlock But
mere noise and blather and circus ad-
vertising and clamor will not sway large
numbers of men out of their allegiance.
Ii would be interesting to know what
would have happened yesterday II Col.
Roosevelt had led the shouting for him
self. Probably the result would have
been the same. His presence in Chi
cago for several days before the
opening of the convention had dulled
the edge of his dramatic effet. He
had become more or less familiar to the
crowds. He had drawn heavily upon
the enthusiasm of his partisans. SIAM
pede comes from the unexpected. not the
discounted and the predisSussed. Men
who have been hammered in print and in
speech as thieves and thugs and brigands
are not likely to turn in a moment from
their allegiance to the side of the de-
nouncer The whole Roosevelt game has
been overplayed in this case, with sur
plus of noise and publicity. The truth
appears plainly that the visit to Chicago
after repeated declarations that the third
term candidate would not go to the con-
vention city was an acknowledgment OF
weakness and the necessity for drastic,
despairing measures. There is nothing
inspiring about cause that is in need
of heroic means of salvation

II may be said that in essaying the role

very pretty picture. There Is some
thing democratic in his appearance there,

honest dollar in everyday fashion. though
he does not need the dollar. Why not be-

objection?
Some of Mr.. Bryan's admirers have Tx

ambition to shine as writer He at

Mr.. Bryan as Reporter.

There Is protest in Baltimore asains,
Mr.. Bryan in the role Of newspaper re-

So far the program has failed. The

Advice.
If you would be a candidate

If you would be a candidate
And lead a mighty clan.
Yourself prepare to educate
To be a busy man.
You'll have to learn to talk all day
And also all the night.
You'll have to hear what others say:
You'll also have to write.
Repose afar your toll will keep.
Brief is your slumber sweet.
A war horse has to learn to sleep
While standing on his feet.
You'll have to have an iron fist
And cultivate your voice
Till nothing can its sound resist
When lifted to rejoice.
And when in this enlightened state
You raise your mighty row,
1t may turn out the Cruel Fate
VIII down you, anyhow.
