Wantsd-A Real Comntroller.

While the demand is general for reduction
in the number of public offices, there Is one
place where a new office should be created so
as 10 give us a real comptroller TO keep indie
pendent check on the accounts and finances Of
the different bodies in this city and county that
are spending the taxpayers money.
Perhaps we should not call this new office.
for It would be but a transfer and consolidation
OF work now inadequately done, or left undone,
by two or three so-called audits made by direc-
ton Of those who spend the money. The pres
ent situation here is this-that city comptrol-
Ter appointed by the city commissioners checks
the city bills; county auditor appointed by the
county board checks the county bills &C
countant called in by the Water board once or
twice a year verifies the Water boards semi-an-
nual statement while the school bills are not
checked at all except by the boards secretary.
What Douglas county should have from the
legislature is the restoration Of the office OF
county comptroller, with full powers over &C
counts and finances OF county, city, water dis
trict and school district. Such an office, doing
away with the present makeshift machinery,
would not only entail no additional expense, but
would without question save thousands upon
thousands Of dollars to the treasures OF these
different jurisdictions. II would, moreover, es-
tabish a control over lawless expenditures, indie
pendent OF the bodies making the appropriations
who are naturally prone to evade legal restrc-
tons
A real comptroller with backbone and au-
thority TO call the turn is what the people OF
Omaha and Douglas county lack and what they
sadly need.

Cut Ont the LiteraoY Test.


The lteracy test has many honest, we'll
meaning advocates, but take from its support
all the selfishness, prejudice, ignorance and
sophistry, and nothing remains to the propa-
ganda.
President Taft knocked IL out once and Pres
ident Wilson deserves commendatioh for taking
a stand against 1t.
The sole element OF consideration must be
whether persons ability to read and write is an
adequate test OF his fitness to enter this coun-
try. The Malta gangster, the black-hander,
usually is able TO read and write. sometimes all
too we'll Somehow he manages to slip through
our portals.
Then here comes that big brawny son OF the
SOIL or the street. ilterate, but with honesty and
ambition written in every line OF his frank, open
face. He seeks simply the chance which his fore
fathers, our ancestors. sought, Of improving his
condition in life. He makes every sacrifice to
come-leaves home and relatives and friends
solely that in land of superior opportunities he
may better his lot, may become an American
citizen. Him the literacy test would bar.
Let us have immigration laws that protect us
against the defective the diseased. the criminal

Safety First and Last.

According to the executive officers of the
Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen. the surprise" efficiency tests, in be-
half of safety first" exacted by the railroads,
are neither efficient nor safe, but decidedly dan
gerous to life and limb, and unless abolished
will cause trouble between the roads and their
employees
Safety first" says one OF the brotherhood
officials. sis good advertisement, but We want
a system that will not cause an engineman, sud
denly confronted with a red light, to jump when
there is real danger
Surely the safety first" system that puts
the life OF the monitor himself in jeopardy is not
much to brag about. The railroads have done a
good deal toward insuring the safe transporta-
ton OF passengers, as we'll as freight, and they
are entitled to the benefit of the doubt up to
the point OF requiring proof OF the charge from
the enginemen, The railroads must have the
welfare and safety Of their trainmen as much at
heart as of their passengers, and II any defect
or imperfection has crept into the system OF
procuring safety first and last they ought to be
ready to correct IT,

Climate a Factor in War.

The natural configuTation OF the country has
always constituted an important factor in every
military campaign and history is full OF exam
pies where victory has been won or defeat sur
fered, by the Intervention Of the elements
wholly beyond control of the combatants. That
climate Is to play more than usual important
part in the present European war Is indicated by
the report that the troops from India and
Morocco brought north by the allies are suffering
from the winters cold to such an extent as to
make them practically useless as army units.
The severer climate in the northeast war arena,
where the Russians, Austrians and Germans are
battling is likewise to be reckoned with as al
even greater obstacle to activity in arms than
the mlder conditions on the French and Belgian
border In other words, the effectiveness OF the
war machine is to be determined, not wholly by
the number OF men and their guns and ammuni-
tlon but in part by their ability to withstand the
climatic changes as compared with the enemy
ranged against them
