The Long Looked-For Slate.

The long Iooked-for slate put forth
by the Citizens union to guide the
voters OF Omaha in securing ideal

gated.
Presumably, every one can find
some one in the list who is satig-

As We have already remarked, the

The trouble with such a law is
the absolute impossibility OF enforc-
ing It," says the Washington Times.
We would amend that by striking
out the words. absolute impossi-
bility' and inserting in Lieu thereof
the word difficulty" for no such
imposslbility exists in Kentucky. In
states north Of the southern bound
airy line OF Indiana and Ohio the
thing has seemed impossible. and
for the reason, as the Times points
out, that "a sensible public opinion
that VIII not consent. to the abomi-

It does not look as II the house
democrats were acting In good faith
in reintroducing the wool tariff bill
the president vetoed last year. They
know beforehand that even II II
should pass the senate after running
its automatic course through the
house, which is extremely doubtful.
II would again be vetoed.
Chairman Underwood dropped
the bill in the basket as ne entered
the house today" In press dispatch,
is significant of the nonehalanee by
which the democratic majority goes
about this bit OF political trickery.
Just toss It in the hopper, for It Is
of little consequence. but II will do
to mark time over, and that Is ap-
parently all Chairman Underwood
and his party followers are con-
cerned about. The crying need for
Panama canal and Alaska legisia-
tion. not to mention other vital mat
tiers. does not reach their ears.
President Taft. we believe, was
sustained by the country for vetoing
this wool bill last year on the
ground that II was q haphazard
measure gotten up purely for polit-
ical reasons and in conflict with the
tariff commission idea--an idea In
which the people believe. He made
1t plain that he would not approve
such a hodgepodge. and be could no
more afford TO Sign It this time.

American vanity; at least, it looks
like a beginning toward uprooting a
very bad practice which has grown
into an outrage because Americans
are too vain TO stand up for their
rights. The employer has cunningly
appropriated the chief advantage OF
the tipping system to himself, allow
ing tips to pay a good part OF the
wages to his employees which should
come out of his and not his custo-

all parties. in a spirit OF party chastise-
ment. threw their strength to the social
lists. The soclalistic victory represents
party kickers OF all classes. and is not a
permanent socialistie gain. In fact social
ism as exemplified in the German Reiehs-
tag is not the MARKHAM socialism. but
mixture Of political opportunlsm and
vague theory, which affords a refuge for
the disgruntled Many changes in prin-
ciples and methods are not. OF course,
openly and officially avowed, Mr.. Brooks
says. but any one can see that German
socialism has in fact shifted It's ground
many times in the last forty years zone
by one" he says, the distractions OF the
MARKHAM creed have yielded to the dis
solvent OF tactical necessities and a wider
and more exact knowledge. The kiassen-
kampf In It's original form Is gone. Ten
years hence II is doubtful whether It viii

Gratis have had TO compromise and make
