Omaha At the Rat

Omaha did splendid thing for itself when
1t secured and entertained the fourteenth an
nual meeting of the National Association OF
Base Ball leagues which brought here the lead
ing men in base ball from every corner of the
continent. Their business was OF the highest
Importance, Of epoch-making Importance. and
Omaha. as usual, did itself proud in its capacity
as host. Newspapers all over the land have
emphasized this fact, and none more than the
Sporting News OF St. Louis the official organ OF
the game. It is filled with reflections from
various writers Of the highest credit and praise
of Omaha. We desire to reproduce here just
one paragraph from the News which we believe
all our people should read, that they may APP
preciate its significance:
The Omaha Commercial club where the closing
entertainment OF the convention was held, is a ma
jor league institution In minor league city II has
two floors in omalas principal structure, the Wood
men OF the World building. The banquet room is
big enough to entertain a couple OF minor league
meetings at once and the quality of the entertain
ment offered the base bali men there was equal to
the capacity OF the banquet hall
In the eyes of friends abroad Omaha in
variably looks well. so must It always look TO
those who know It best and have most at stake
In its welfare. The people of this city have
most valuable asset in the city's famed hospital
ity. it's facility for entertaining conventions
large and small. and this is good time to &C
knowledge the part the Commercial club and it's
publicity department play in sustaining this

Merit system in Dinlomaoy.

II Is always considered bad policy TO swap
horses while crossing streams. without dlspar-
aging the good qualities of William G.. Sharp.
our new ambassador to France, supplanting My
ron T. Herrick, at such a critical time occasions
general regret and adverse comment. The
United States has had few ambassadors of late
who have served IL with quite the ability and
distinction as the eminent Ohioan. His insight
into the delicate situation now existing abroad.
his commanding grasp OF international affairs.
the universal confidence he enjoys among the
nations and particularly his Influence in France,
have made his services OF incalculable value to
his country and the general interests at stake at
this crucial time 1t Is, therefore, nothing short
OF an international loss to have to give him up
now for a man who. no matter what his attain
ments may be. is inexperienced In the field OF
diplomacy, a totally unknown quantity.
But this is an inevitable consequence OF the
folly OF selecting our diplomatic representatives
in the same manner as we choose a deputy tax
collector. Diplomacy should be maintained en-
tlrely on a merit system, free from political IA
vortlsm or patronage, with nothing in view but
the selection of the best possible man for the
place. Until such Is the case we are bound to
suffer In comparison, have always suf-
fered, with other nations which really make
profession OF diplomacy.
President Taft gave impetus to the merit
system in our foreign consular service, which is
being steadily improved While 1t probably
would not be desirable to apply the code Of civil
service TO diplomatic appointments, It surely
would be an Improvement to lift them out OF the
common rut of spoils politics and place them
upon the higher standard solely of fitness. No
one pretends to offer any reason for the dis
placement Of Myron t. Herrick at Paris. other
than that ito the victor belongs the spoils"

round the lofty sphere OF diplomacy.

The Charity Problem.

All charity workers agree that, heavy as was
the demand for help for unfortunates last year,
the prospect is for a stil heavier demand for
this year. This is true not only in Omaha, but
Of every city and town in the country. 1t is also
true. aside from, OF rather in addition to, the
demand for relief for the victims Of the great
European war. The best charity is always the
charity which helps people to help themselves,
which can be done only by localizing each case.
Perhaps the need of help is less acute here than
elsewhere, but our problem in omaha, as in all
large cities, is complicated by the constant adj
vent OF strangers and wanderers who have no
more claim upon us than upon others, yet who
cannot be entirely ignored.
What is called for urgently is a mobilization
OF our charity organizations and agencies so that
they may do their work effectively and eff
ciently, at least expense, and without duplica-
ton, at the same time guarding against impo-
sition which dverts to the unworthy what by
rights belongs to the worthy. The task to be
tackled is a big one, yet with the experience
acquired in dealing so successfully with the tor
nado sufferers two years ago, 1t should be pos
sible to systematize the work and to apportion
II in such a way as to limit the burden imposed
upon any one charitable organization and to
hold down the drafts the resources OF any
one group of the community.

Safety First is Winning.

The railroads are making steady progress
with their safety first" propaganda. They
show up in the Interstate Commerce commits
sion's reports with "a great decrease in the num-
Der Of collisions and derailments" for the last
period OF accounting. Defective roadway and
defective equipment together are held respon
sible for more than 72,3 per cent OF all the de
railments reported. In train accidents only 1O@
persons were killed in three months and 2,l57
injured, the total number OF accidents being 7S7
fewer than for the corresponding period the pre-
vious year.
II would seem from this, that while the rec
ord a whole is oommendable to the railroads
II is not as much so as they might make it by
proper roadway and equipment Improvement
As a matter of fact, this leaves It far from sat
isfactory. The report does not show how many
OF these casualties were due TO unprotected or
tnadequately protected grade crossings, but We
imagine the number is large. The railroads will
not be entirely free from structure so long as
they deliberately refuse TO do what they can to
bridge or otherwise fortify these death traps
And where they exhaust every civil recourse 10
keep from making such improvements, they
must expect continued criticism. They deserve
praise for what they have done. but certainly
not for leaving undone what they could and
should do.
