Omaha as a Manufacturing Center.

Omaha is not generally regarded as a manu-
featuring center, This is chiefly because its own
people are unaware OF the extent and diversity OF
factory operations carried on here. They know
OF the city's supremacy as a whoesang and job
bling point, its lead live stock and grain mar
ket its place in the front rank as meat packing
and curing headquarters, and its wonderful growth
and solid strength as financial and banking GEN.
ter, while its lead in retail business is admitted.
But they do not know that 1t has reached very
high place as the home OF manufacturing plants,
whose product goes all over the world, and COM
prises all manner of things for the use OF man.
The Flag day parade, when 10000 people marched
and other thousands stood on the sidewalks and
cheered, gave some notion OF the industrial I'M
portance OF the city, and the parade Of yesterday
added to this impression. The fact that Omaha
is really manufacturing center Of much import
ance is slowly coming home to its citizens. The
output OF the local factories runs into hundreds
OF millions annually, the factories are numbered
by the hundreds and the operatives by the thou
sands Thirty thousand wage earners are on the
pay roll in Omaha and their earnings mount high
into the millions each year. They are the solid
foundation on which the present prosperity and
future greatness Of the city rests. Our own peo-
pie should make themselves more familiar with
the facts, and thus help the world outside to get
better notion Of what we are doing at home.

Our daddy left his job today,

To pound the keys

Pushed tyranny too far.
No move he'll make
To turn a brake.

But mother, weary mother. hasn't struck

Our esteemed but wobbly democratic contem.
porary, the Word-Herald is just now frantically
Boosting Of the splendid qualifications Of Wood
row Wilson as head OF the democratic party. The
owner OF the Word-Herad ought to know all
about this, for he was not only led to the trough,
but was made to drink He started revolt to
force concessions to him on Nebraska federal pat
ronage. He not only failed to get the places he
demanded, but was whipped into line and made to
vote for measures he had opposed through his
paper and on the floor Of the senate No man In
his party is better qualified to speak from per-
sonal experience OF the efficiency with which the
president has dominated democracy and worked
his will through congress than is our democratic
senator. He might also tell how II feels to have
the party lash over his back and be compelled
to assent to legislation and policies which he pub
licly asserted were wrong. OF course, now that
he needs the votes, he is ardenty protesting un-
diluted admiration for the man who lined him up
and made him swallow all the secret caucus edicts
framed to suit twenty-nne southern senator's who
shaped every law passed under the Wilson re-
pirne

Evidence of another violation OF the civil serv.
ice law by the democrats has been produced. The
bosses Of that deectable party want votes, and
are not at all particular as to how they obtain
them.
This is their sole excuse for undertaking to
dragoon the fourth-cass postn,asters Of the coun,
try into service as Wilson workers." and set
them the task Of securing support for the presi-
dent in his campaign for reelection. No more
shameless exhibition Of partisan desperation has
ever been given In American politics.
Postmasters are public servants and not parti-
san tools. The fourth-class postmaster were
placed by republican presidents under the civil
service law and had that protection until Wood
row Wilson was naugurated. One Of the very
first executive orders issued by him, coming in
April, 1913, only month after he had been in
Office, removed these public servants from the
classified list, and made them subject to political
whin This was primarily to get places for "de-
serving democrats" The present raid Of the DEM
ocratic national committee is merely an extension
Of the Wilson move.
Contrast this action with the platform dec
laration OF the party, adopted by the St. Louis
convention: "We reaffirm our declarations for
the rigid enforcement of civil service laws" At
Baltimore in 1912 the democrats declared: THE
law pertaining to the civil service should be hon
estly and rightly enforced, to the end that merit
and ability shall be the standard Of appointment
and promotion, rather than service rendered to a
political party"
In no other way have the democrats more
brazenly exhibited the hypocrisy Of their pledges
than in their dealings with the civil service. Laws
and platforms, merit and deserts, have little in
huence with the donkey when it goes browsing
for votes

End Of the coroner's Office.

The supreme court Of Nebraska has upheld
the law passed by the last legislature intended to
abolish the useless Office OF coroner. Hereafter,
the fees that have gone to support that Office will
remain in the treasury while the small service
performed by the functionary holding the title
will be looked after BY the county attorney, to
whose Office they rishtfully belong, The Bee
feels warranted sense Of qualification in the out
come OF this case, having initiated the movement
for dong away with the needless duplication OF
official machinery and consequent added expense
that was borne by the taxpayers, After January
/, 1917, the Office of the coroner will be no pore
in Nebraska, and none will miss it. save those
who have found in it reliable connection with
nc pub.:c treasury. This is another real service
The Zee has performed for Nebraska.

Voptt 4hu6t AsSeohi >"hssO'
Silver Creek, Neb., Oct. 3.-To the
Editor of The Bee. In his speech at
Long Branch, President Wilson Is
quoted as saying that the program
of the democratic party Is to continue
the liberalization Of American business
and to place the people in control OF
their government"
The above is a fair sample of Will
sons highfalutin, rhetorical deliver
ances that impress some people as be-
ing mark of greatness Passing
liberalization of business. what about
the people controlling their govern
ment?
There never was a time in the his
tory Of our government when the peo-
pie had so little control of 1t as they
have since Wilson became president
He, himself, Is the government, both
as to the executive and legislative
parts of 1t, and if he should be elected
for another four years we may expect
him to undertake to dominate the
judiciary also. We elect men to con-
gress and, whether democrats or re-
publicans, with very few honorable
exceptions they either bow down to
this great autocratic personification of
inordinate self-conceit like lot of
weakened nlncompoops or keep still.
Electing men to congress has come to
be vain and useless thing. We don't
need them--we have something bet
ter: they are barnacles on the keel
of the ship of state and should be
scraped off.
If Wilson should be reelected he
should emulate the example Of Oliver
Cromwell in dispensing Of the long
parliament, and send body Of SOL
diers to toss them out Of the windows
with their bayonets.
If the democrats of the United
States wish to do something by way
Of placing the people in control of
their government" they should drop
Wilson like a hot potato.
If by reason of the above meander-
ings Wilson should be Of the opinion
that l am "disloyal," he may spare
himself the trouble Of telling me not
to vote for him, for l surely shall not
come within $4,000 miles of it..
