Strong, but Not Too Strong.

No man who countenances the plain
fraud by which Roosevelt supporters
hope to gain six electors in Nebraska has
any license to question the methods of
the New York police force, much less the
nomination of Taft by the Chicago con-
vention.-Aurora Republican.
That is putting it pretty strong,
but not too strong. No one pretends
that the Roosevelt electors in Ne
braska can honorably hold their
places on the republican ticket. Each
and every one of them is exactly in
the position of the burglar, who,
when discovered and ordered out of
the house by the owner, replies,
This is your house. l don't belong
here. But will not get out or let
You in because my house is not as
good as yours"

The Cuban Crisis.

With depleted treasury, acute
need for funds and an aggravated
political situation, Cuba faces the
real crisis OF its modified autonomy
II 1t fails this time to prove Its power
of self-government, 1t Is difficult to
see how intervention by the United
States Is to be avoided, anxious as
this nation Is to escape that altern.
ative. We have racial problems OF
our own without desiring to borrow
new ones from Cuba.
But, while the United States has
always been sincere in its attitude
toward the little island, 1t is under
obligations. which 1t could not evade
IL 1t would, In its responsibility to
Cuba. And, on the other hand, Cuba
Is bound In advance to Intervention
by US whenever 1t fails to make
good on it's constitutional contract to
maintain "a government adequate
for the protection of life, property
and individual liberty"
The question now arises: fCan
Cuba survive the present state Of its
finances? Can 1t hold an honest and
successful election for the presidency
with loyal submission OF the de-
feated party to the will OF the ma
jority?"
1t has never yet permanently sue
ceeded in this latter achievement,
And Its treasury now is empty, with
much of the public improvement, to
be made by the s1e,5OO. 900 speyer
loan, left undone. The American
people hope Cuba will yet make good,
but their government must not be
blamed for taking precautionary
steps In anticipation Of possible fall

The American states have Ions since
experienced with the telephones what
London now seems to be considering
An official rubrc JUST issued by the
postmaster-general in charge of the Lon
don telephone service, comes to local
notice through the London press. For
the telephone game is one of the most
subtle and hardly played Of all our ma
tfonal pasumes. The London officials
advise wire patrons that telephone
transmission blurs the distinctive sounds
OF consonants and tends to make words
containing the same vowels sound alike,
In passing numbers therefore, II is neces-
sary to speak more distinctly than in
ordinary conversation. There is great
risk of confusion between five and nine,
and much difficulty In distinguishing be-
tween two and three. In London each
figure is pronounced separately, with the
exception of doubles which are 80 given.
One provision in the British phone serv-
ice will appeal especially to those Of us
who quarrel spasmodically with the oper-
ator. #... ..u sta.
1t Is the duty Of the operator to re-
peat every number passed by the sub
scriber in order to give, the subscriber
an opportunity. of correcting any mis-
apprehension. If In any case the repeti-

should be called TO the fact. II the repe.
t'tion is incorrect the right number
should be repeated very distinctly, with
emphasis on the figures misunderstood
If the operator is not sure she has taken
number correctly it is her duty to ask
the subscriber to repeat the particulars
Prompt compliance with the request is
Of great assistance to the service"
Telephoning through some exchanges
is a sort Of neurastenic novelty. It gives
revelation to more varieties Of tempera-
ments than can be found In the divorce
records Of hundred courts. The psy-
chology Of telephone manners has been
the subject Of much speculation and flip
pancy. We can appreciate the repetition

still freshly in thought the memory Of
that time when the stating of a double

For Cleaner Streets,

A committee of the Commercial
club has been assigned to the task
Of devising ways and means for
cleaner streets for Omaha. The
problem Of clean streets may be ap-
preached from two opposite sides.
Measures may be adopted to prevent
the streets from becoming dirty or
efforts may be directed to removing
the dirt after 1t has accumulated.
OF course, both methods must be
pursued, but the more effective the
preventive measures the less costly
will be the work of cleaning up.
Preventive measures, moreover, de-
yolve as much upon the individual
business man or householder as upon
the department Of the city govern
ment charged with supervision of the
streets. Observance of the rules
against using streets as dumping
grounds, against numbering them up
with building materials, against scat
tering on them the contents of pass
ing wagons, would do whole lot,
although 1t might not do away with
the necessity of a follow-up In the
form OF periodic, systematic and
thorough cleaning.

whom he charges with having been
instrumental in preventing him from

Why this tender solicitude for Mr.,

Is he not going to accord Mr., Root

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW
By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory.

The Fugitive Slave law was passed
by the United States congress sixty.
two years ago-September 10, 1S50-and
thereby hangs a tale, a tale of woe al
was not dreamed of by any one at the
time the law was carried through the
national Legislature.
Henry Clay. that rock-ribbed Ameri-
can and prince of patriots, thinking to
pour oil upon the troubled waters tha,
threatened the safety of the ship of state,
| formulated the famous Omnibus BILL"
so-called from the fact that 1t was sup
posed to carry through all the meas
ures that the troubled state of the coun.
try seemed to demand. "
Among the other things comprehended
by the Omnibus bill was the law which,
1t was hoped, would put an end to the
operations of the Underground Rail-
way" term that was applied to the
growing custom among Abolitionists of
aiding runaway slaves in escaping from
their masters. t
As Clay felt about it, 1t was wrong to
do this, inasmueh as negro slavery was
recognized by the constitution and the
laws made in pursuance thereof, The
great Kentuckian hated slavery and
longed for its abolition but he main
tained that, the constitution being what
1t was, the underground railway was IL
legal. Hence his advocacy of the fugitive
slave law, which imposed fine of $1,000
and six months Imprisonment on any
one harboring fugitive slaves or aiding in
their escape. -
Mr.. Clay's Intentions were, of course,
the best in the world, as were also the

with them all was to allay the ugly Sec

by the unconstitutional action OF the

1t would, it acted the very opposite. 1t
