Advice that Nav vel Be Hooded.

President Lee OF the Cleveland Auto club
gave the citizens OF Omaha some good advice
during the short visit OF the Cleveland trade
boosters to this city. II was to get busy on a
campaign to secure the overland tourist travel
over the Lincoln Highway. He pointed out that
Il is not enough to merely provide local accom-
modations for these automobile travellers; the
eastern folks who will visit the west during the
coming summer must be made acquainted with
the fact that Omaha is ready to take care OF
them. The attractions of the route must be set
before them, and things generally made plain.
The time for this work is short and If action
is taken along the lines suggested by Mr.. Lee, it
must be taken promptly. other cities have been
busy, notably Kansas City, which is interested in
diverting travel along the Santa Fe trail. Omaha
stands to lose heavily unless the interested par
ties move without delay.

Look Who's Here!

Now cometh forth the tender, shrinking
lieutenant governor, and in full knowledge OF
his individual weakness he proposes that in
union there is strength. and IL enough of him
be gotten together, he will be able to de-
mand and receive certain things that are
withheld from and denied him. First among
these desiderata is more pay, showing the lieu
tenant governor to be normally constituted, like
most of those OF us who toll for hire. Then, he
wants more power, and in addition to the al
lance defensive. he proposes to form the al
lance offensive, and that whatever of legislation
is urged by the lieutenant governor Of one state
included in the bund, the same shall be advo-
Gated by all the others.
The fifth wheel OF the wagon is beginning TO
turn. No longer will the lieutenant governor
sit, a lonely and neglected figure in solemn
silence presiding over a body in whose delibera-
tons he is permitted only passive part. AS an
exemplar OF the modern notion OF the efficacy
OF organization for the accomplishment OF any
thing he proposes to have a share in the bust
ness of the body polite OF which he has long
been an ornament but never a part. And II is
eminently fitting that our own Pearson should
be united with the peerless o'Hara of Illinois n
bringing this about.

Patronage Cometh Soon.

Two whole years have elapsed since the
democrats took possession OF the promised land
at Washington. but they have elapsed without
distribution OF any of the important federal
patronage in Nebraska. Except for Secretary
Bryan's cabinet portfolio and Governor Met
calfe's temporary Panama berth, and few
minor places, nothing has come this way, but
on the contrary all OF the faithful have been
compelled TO remain hungry because of the
deadlocked feud between the senator and the
secretary OF state. All the efforts of outside
peacemakers, and all the frantcally passed reso-
lutions demanding compromise have failed to
unlock the gate and what was first limited at
as possibility will come to pass when the presi-
dent goes at II with recess appointments. In
such event the distribution is sure to be dictated
by Secretary Bryan in total disregard of the de-
sires Of the senator, who has persistently ar
raigned himself against the administration
measures.
Patronage cometh soon for the democrats,
but hardly in form to sooth the sores and heal
the breach.

Important Laws Dying with Congress


Many important measures, passed by
house or the other, will expire on the calendar
when congress adjourns on Thursday, because OF
the inability of house or senate to reach them.
Among the list are measures that have been
recommended by both the republican and demo-
cratic parties, or have been urged on congress
by influential bodies Of citizens and that are
looked upon as essential to progress The Kern
McGillicuddy bill, to provide protection for gov
eminent employees under workmens compensa-
ton the Berry bill. to regulate the shipping of
convict-made goods; the administration bill,
dealing with the Philippines; conservation bills
OF all kinds the rural credits bill, and similar
measures, all go down to death with the calen-
dar The failure to pass these laws is charge
able directly to the iron rule Of King Caucus
rigidly enforced in support of the administra-
tons shipping bill, measure that was fore
doomed to defeat because OF its impractical ma
ture.
II the democrats had in no other way for
feited the confidence and support OF the public,
the record Of omission shown by the present con-
gress would be sufficient to condemn them.

Railroad presidents. appearing before the

James J. Hill bought the Burlington road from
the Perkins group, paying for 1t at the rate OF
So for 81, and guaranteeing the dividend
the new valuation. In 1907 E. H. Hartman
added one hundred millions 10 the stock of the
Union Pacific, saying the road would earn
that additional amount. These great feats in
stock expansion are too recent history to have
been entirely forgotten.
Railroads are entitled to earn proper in

OMAHA, March 4.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: 1 read with pleasure your
editorial in yesterdays paper relative to
advertising Omaha as a stop-over point,
and ! believe that the retail and whole
sale merchants of this city could assist
greatly in this movement.
My thought at this time in this connec-
ton would be the issuing of an enclosure
to go in the mail advertising the various
hotels in this city. We now have a hotel
that will compare favoraby with any
hotel In the United States. and we also
have the new Castle hotel, which is to be
high grade hotel, and the hotels that
we have had for a number of years that
will compare favorably with the hotels in
any city in the western country. Such
circular could probably be issued by
the Hotel Operators association in this
city showing cuts and brief information
regarding each hotel and the merchants
of this city could enclose these slips in
all letters that they are sending to the
eastern concerns with whom they do bust
ness, as well as their customers through
ont the western territory.
The more literature Of this kind that
is placed in the hands of the public out
side of Omaha, the more people will be
influenced to stop over with us, ana /
am sure an occasional editorial from
your pen on the subject will assist
greatly. f. w. JUDsoN.

Democratic Patronage Troubles.
WAHoO, Neb., March $40 the Editor
OF The Bee; 1t seems that the Wash
lngton correspondent OF responsible Ne
braska newspaper is giving. through the
medium of his paper. the information
that as soon as congress adjourns the
president and his secretary Of state are
going TO dispose of the federal political
plums In this state. Owing to the great
mental strain that has been weighing
them down for the last several months,
somebody may have suggested to this
pair Of astute politicians the propriety of
turning their backs on Washington for a
day or SO. while they HE themselves
away to the mountains, or the lakes or
possibly to the ancient democratic shrine.
the historic Hermitage, on the banks OF
the historic bay. II would seem that
here in this place, sacred to the devotees
at the shrine OF so-called democracy, this
pair OF astute guardians Of the peoples
liberties. watchdogs OF the nations treas
ury and custodians of the peoples in
tenests, might, after due elaboration.
prayerfully proceed to parcel out to pa
triotie partisans the perquisites due to
persistent political productivity. In other
words, the one-time president OF Prince
ton university. who. by the accident OF
politics. Is now debating orders. appoint
ments and policies from the chair once
occupied by Lincoln. and tho mighty
mogul who. by reason OF the same &C
cident, is shutfling around in the shoes OF
one Alexander Hamilton, Daniel Webster
and James q. Blaine. are soon 10 enter
on the work Of distributing the federal
patronage OF this great state.
But let Il be known that democracy
that will not bend the pregnant hinges
OF the knee is not entitled to the thrift
that may, or may not follow fawning
In other words. that other mighty apos-
tie OF democracy who Is shuffing around
in the shoes OF his illustrious father, from
whom he seems 20 have inherited no
political legacy. only some OF his quail
ties, among which are those OF honesty
and sincerity OF purpose. and which he
believes ought 10 be the common heritage
