Brickley himself last spring gave Rob

over the bars and was of the opinion
that the Philadelphia youngster would

Robinson was a regular in the fresh

The re-arrangement OF the city into twelve
wards" taking IN the annexed area, reminds
us that this redstricting is practically meaning
less and almost unnecessary, because with the
repeated changes in our machinery of govern
ment the ward has been wiped out 80 far as
serving any purpose useful or otherwise.
There was a time when the ward was dis
tinet area Of local government in Omaha as In
most cities--when we had ward councilmen.
ward assessors. six justice courts 10 correspond
with the number OF wards and later ward repre-
sentation IN the School board. The Importance
of the ward was further accumulated by the fact
that, before the direct primaries, Il the unit
OF apportlonment for convention delegates and
party committees and telling the ward man
lived in was the most Ineligible way TO desig-
nate and identify him.
But the commission plan for cities has put
the ward councilman off the map. Our new mu-
nicipal court system soon to be inaugurated fin
ishes the remnant OF ward justices OF the peace
and constables. The ward assessors disappeared
long ago and now the election Of school board
members at large and on petition nominations
decreed by the last legislature eliminates the
ward from public school management So far
as we are able 70 ascertain. the only plare where
the Law stiIl recognizes the ward as such is in
tue provision requiring the signatures OF speci-
tied number OF freeholders Of the ward on the
license application OF each liquor dealer or
druggist

Wall Street and the Wa.

Reports coming from Wall street tell OF
such activity as must give Joy to the brokers,
whose incomes depend upon the exchange Of
stocks. Just now the war" stocks are lead
ing in the widest campaign Of speculation
recially being the central figures in this un-
healthy activity This is due TO the anxiety of
spectators to share in the sudden profit COM
ing from the extensive orders placed by the
European governments, stimulated by the UNI
supported reports OF even greater acquisitions
to be filled Experienced critics OF the game
sssert that general trimming" OF the
wary is in progress and that professional deal
els are reaping an unexpected harvest, more
than making up for the time lost last winter,
when the exchange was closed.
Legitimate orders for iron and steel for
domestic use are reported to be increasing,
United States Steel having untitled orders of
nearly 10000 tons more than q month ago,
while other companies are enjoying a similar
prosperity. Railroads and other heavy consum-
ers OF the output of the steel mills are buying
needed supplies and this will support the pres
emit boom to some extent. Another factor is the
growing agitation in favor 81 getting the United
States ready for war, which process will ne
cessitate the purchase of large quantities Of
munltions, and thus add to the prosperity of
the war factories.
How much OF the present agitation for mill
tsry preparedness" is due to pure patriotism,
and how much OF II is merely TO stimulate specu-
lation may never be known, but the Wall street
market is a busy place these days.

Points % be Conaidered.

The former treasurer of Dundee. who de-
camped on the eve of the Greater Omaha
merger without turning over the funds sup
posed to be in his possession, has come
back without waiting to be brought back. That
much is In his favor. He has also arranged in
the interval to raise the money necessary to
square his accounts so that the city will not
suffer any financial loss through his steward
ship That likewise Is in his favor He has
family, too, entitled TO our sincere sympathy
which we cannot help taking into consideration.
But aside from all that the case should be
treated Just the same as would be any other Gus
todian OF public funds who might have run
away under similar suspicious circumstances.
Because he has rich relatives OF powerful
friends, or belongs to particular church, or
hes been active in party politics, should cut
no figure with sworn officers charged with the
enforcement OF the law--it is up to them to
decide whether not they have case calling
for action-if they have, TO act-if not, to say so
and clear the man from odium.

the suspicion that some effort TO gloss over re-

Margaret l.. Ashley, in Harper's Magazine
The highway marches sturdily to market
town and mill,
But would find little road that loiters
up a hill
A little vagrant. woodland road, gray-rib-
boned through the green,
Where berry brambles bar the way and
orchard elders lean.
The highway is the worlds way, but l
would drop behind
To follow little Turing paths that only lag
CARDS find:
The challenge of the bandit weeds. the
tilt with startled bees
What can the dusty highway give for
tourneyings like these7
The highway is the suns way, and fol-
lows east to west.
But there are yellow vagrant beams that
love my road the best
That linger down the weedy ways where
lady s-lace Is spread,
Or slant through shady orchard paths
and tint the tree trunks red.
The highway, the hlghway!-you follow
where II calls:
I watch you through n leafy screen from
crumbling orchard walls
I wait and smile among the green and
know that by and by
Well lure you back through dust and
dew-my littlo road and I!

Ianan d making Progresr.

The cabinet crisis in japan suggests that in
practical politics the empire of the Rising Sun
is making progress. as well as in other ways Of
western civilization. Bribery in connection with
the election of a member of the Japanese Par
lament is the basis for the upheaval, one of the
ministers OF the government being accused Of
acceptinga handsome bonus for sidetracling the
opponent of friend. This disclosure was nat
urally attended by something OF a popular out
cry. with demand for the retirement OF the
offending cabinet officer. Enough OF the samu-
raj spirit prevails however, to support Premier
okuma in the idea that what affects one mem
Der of the cabinet affects ALL and so he and his
associates laid down their offices in body. For
the present the outcome is undetermined, but
the illustration of how happily the Japanese are
blending oriental and occidental methods Of po-
litlcal procedure is quite edffying.

OMAHA, July SOTO the Editor of The
Bee: The transcontinental passage of the
Liberty Bell In these troublous times
should incite a more comprehensive and
defensive temper in our countrymen in
the political development of modern
lbery. And. as we rejoice in the liberty
we now possess, let us not be unmindful
of thone enemies of the republic within
Its very domain. eager to grasp
the bell that tolls the death knell of all
human freedom. Let US then seek to
purge the nation OF every political re-
ligious and economic dogma which is Goa
trary TO the teachings of its established
freedom, and hold in odious ostracism he
who dares to proclaim them. The Lib
erty Bell is the emblem of how omnip-
potent Is a peoples power when deter
mined to be free. To Americans II should
be the sacred symbol OF the political and
religious freedom OF yesterday, today
and tomorrow of the nation. A freedom
always to be guarded in the passion OF
its inherent historic utterance. GIVE
me liberty or give me DEATH To the
stranger coming from other lands to
receive the blessings II represents, 1t
should cause American freedom to shine
the brightest in contrast with the in
tolerable conditions of the down-trodden
OF those lands. To the world It should be
the most potential yindication of the
religion. morality and political and social
order of the great American republic.
Because the significance of the great
ness OF the American republic. the A.
Illuminating testimony of history and con-
temporaneous opinion all attest how
