Do Not Need National Trade Mark.

One of the bills favoraby reported by the

the adoption Of national trade mark to designate

is attractive at first glance but as it is given de-

Chicago Herald Mr. Hughes sounds no epic

Record Of Accomplishment.

Not the most enthusiastic opponent Of Presi-
dent Wilson will want to detract in the least from
his record Of accomplishment. But while making
up the books, why not keep the record straight?
For example, the provision in the Clayton law,
declaring that human labor is not a commodity,
was put there by Senator Cummins Of Iowa.
whom the democrats scarcely will claim as sup
porter Of Wilson. The amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States, providing for an income
tax, was introduced by republican senator, and
met its main opposition in democratic states. The
Glass banking law Is the Adrich law but slightly
modified. As to peace with Mexico, the invasion
OF that country twice by armed forces of the
United States and the presence of 10000 soldiers
of the United States along the border now is a
fair illustration of the pacific methods employed
And Secretary Lansing very recently informed
England that the presence of an armed force near
the frontier is to be construed only as hostile
act. The more the list OF the administration S

Remember the Union Depot,

With all the talk OF railroad strike, car short
age, bridge over the river and similar topics,
one OF the most vital Of all of Omaha's needs is
likely to be neglected. 1t is the Union passenger
station. Agitation last spring fastened attention
on this point for several days, but the change in
presidents on the Union Pacific allowed it to 60
over. 1t should not be lost sight Of however, for
its need is more pressing with each passing day.
Not only is Omaha growing, and its travel in
creasins, but the general business of the railroads
entering the city is expanding. This being true,
and the present facilities having been outgrown,
for how much longer will Omaha have to put up
with inadequate and Anticipated depot accommoda-
tions1 Mr. Calvin has been here long enough to
get line on the situation, and ought to be able
to tell Omaha what the Union Pacific is willing
to do in the matter.

Shortage Of Unskilled Labor

Importation to this and contiguous states by
the Pennsylvania railroad management OF un-
skilled labor from the south, first instalment Of
Mexicans and later force Of negroes, is an en-
phatic suggestion OF the condition Of the unsked
labor field, which is an essential resource for all
construction enterprise,
According to the immigration Office nearly
100000 persons emigrated from this country in the
last two years. or since the beginning Of the war,
very considerable percentage OF whom were
part Of the national force of common laborers
The higher prices commanded by skilled labor
and the demand in excess OF the available supply
has increased the normal rate of graduation from
the unskilled to the skilled ranks, which goes on
continually, and there has been no adequate supply
TO make up the defamation OF the former. I'M
migration, which usually supplies the unskilled
force has averaged for the last two years less
than fifth of the normal importing and the per-
centage Of able-bodied laborers in this diminished
immigration is reduced.
The question Of restricting immigration takes
on new phase on its economic side in view Of
these facts. The question Of iliteracy may be
waived in view OF industrial necessity, and from
the social viewpoint, the average community will
consider whether iiterates from the south Of
Europe are more undesirable than ignorance and
yiciousness from other sections Of the United

has been a great pleasure to me to hear
them praise our well paved streets. our beau
tiful parks and our stores and modern build

invariable ask: why do you allow your bust
ness streets to be so disfgured with over
head signs and transparencies ?"

population of Omaha where the disfgure-
ment was so universal or so bad, and
would ask: Is 1t not within the power of
the City Planning board to abate the botch7

If they have no power l suggest an ordi-
nance from our commissioners placing the
power somewhere to wipe them out, and
also prohibiting the erection of any sign or
transparency that projects more than three
feet from the building line, and that no pro-
jectipg sign or transparency shall be erected
until a drawing or model of the completed
design has been submitted to and approved
by said authority. There should be official
supervision of their installation.
Wherever I go l find lots of people who
want to know about Omaha and I am doing

Course OF the Army Bill.

President Wilson's refusal to approve the army
bill in the form it was sent to him emphasizes,
if it does not aggravate, one OF the most remark
able situations in which this country has ever been
found. No more gittering example Of one-man
power was ever presented than is furnished by the
course of this measure directed and shaped by
Representative James Hay of Virginia chairman
of the house committee on military affairs. When
President Wilson reversed his policy last fall,
yielding to irresistible public opinion he called
representative members Of congress Of both par
ties into consultation and asked OF them that they
give every assistance to a program for defense.
The agreement then reached was hailed with salts
faction by the country.
When the democrats came into power in the
Sixty-second congress, Representative James Hay
of Virginia was elevated from position among
the minority members of the military affairs COM
mittee and made chairman. In that congress, and
the one following, he showed his firm opposition
to the plans of the War department, and his de-
termination to substitute his own ideas for those
of the experts. He did not give his assent to the
presidents program when the Sixty fourth con-
gress opened, but began his work by rejecting en-
tirely the recommendations of the Treat commits
sion, winch nao Deen appointed 10 study ana re-
port on the military problem of the United States
Secretary Of War Garrison did his utmost to over
come the powerful influence of Hay, to no avail
and when the Hay bill finally passed the house.
Garrison resigned. In the senate the Chamberlain
bill was substituted for the Hay bill, but in con-
ference the character Of the Chamberlain measure
was remodelcd along Hay lines. II went to the
president without the Wilson plan for a CONT
mental army, but retaining the Hay states rights
views, as we'll as the obnoxious provision that led
to the veto. In its entirety has been considered
as makeshift rather than constructive measure,
advocates of adequate defense hoping to secure
proper legislation at another time.
The astonishing fact in connection with the
situation is that President Wilson has appointed
James Hay of Virginia to be Judge Of the United
States court of claims, rewarding him for his
blockade Of preparation for defense by giving him
a life position on the bench. This must be i'm
mensey pleasing to Lindley M. Garrison, as we'll
as to other democrats who sincerely believe in a
stronger and better military establishment
