cials persist in their refusal to give up
their offices, whom they have been com
manded to do % by their own constltu-
ents. they should be presented with
leather medals They did not wait for
court to decide whether they should
take their offices when they were elected.
Not by long shot. They do not own the
offices they hold. The voters who put
them In own their offices ana have n
right 10 command them 10 give up their
positions the same as they had right
to tell them to take them The mandate
OF the public should be sufficient for the
officials 70 take notice TO vaeate their
positions.
The voters OF South Omaha who elected
the city officers told them IN very plain
and Emphatic terms on June / that they
do not want them In office any longer
and they should obey the command.
Their cry all last winter was. Let the
people rule" They had better be con-
slstent now and carry cat their slogan.
The result IN South Omaha was too plain
for any offlce-holder TO misunderstood.

How the advantage of natural trade route
forces recognition and dominates actual traffic
Is now being shown in striking way. few
months ago the purchase Of the Central Pacific
by the Union Pacific was prevented by Attorney
General McReynolds, the reason given being
that It was to avoid setting up control at ogden
OF traffic to the west. Whatever of dispute
might have arisen over this point has been Set
tied by the natural route for travel. Roads run-
ming out from Chicago have arranged TO turn
over their business to the Union Pacific at
Omaha, and the Ogden gateway" has at last
lost It's significance. Four other transcontinental
lines in the United States and two In Canada
own their continuous rails to the Pacific coast,
but this was denied the Union Pacific. But
neither regulation" nor rivalry can overcome
the advantage OF geography and location, and
Omaha is now the gateway In fact as well as In
name for the great current Of transcontinental
traffic
