Where the West Excels.

President Harding, off on holiday visit to
New York state, travels not by special train or
by private car, but in the chair car OF regular
passenger train. So says the dispatch from
Washington, but those who have experienced the
discomforts of travel on the eastern railroads
will hardly believe that he found real reclining
chair car, supplied with clean and cool linen head
rests. They will image the president sitting amid
the discomforts, the heat, dust and smoke Of an
ordinary day coach on train that does not
carry Pullman.
Few westerners appreciate the superior serv-
ice given by the railroads out here. Old equip
ment that would scarcely be deemed fit for a
stub line in Nebraska is found on the most i'm
portant runs out of Boston and New York. The
average journey in the east is shorter than out
here, and the public puts up with inferior service

And May the Best Man VIII"

Were It not for one stubborn fact, all America
would be on its toes today, shouting for the
champion to win at Jersey City. A very large
section OF the citzenry can not forget that Jack
Dempsey ingoriously sought funk hole when
the war clouds rolled over the land, and the
splendid bruser who hopes to heap up another
fortune today by fighting was then able to satiate
his thirst for glory by employment in ship
yard with a factor OF safety of 5000 miles so far
as the actual firing line was concerned. On the
other hand, Carpenter laid aside the padded
mitts and marched with Madeline" through four
years Of such glorious carnage as the world never
witnessed before. If moral courage figures any
where in prize fight, the French challenger has
conspicuousy the better of the DEAL However, a
contest OF the kind usually turns on another sort
of qualification; indeed, the finer feelings that
would lead a warm-hearted youth to bare his
breast on the battle field in defense of his coun-
posed to the sordid, calculating selhshness and
cold blood that could seek safety at such time,
preserving the precious hide of its owner uf,-
scathed that he might in better days pursue his
vocation of battering down less expert or dur
able aspirants for his crown Let the better
man win today, even though that outcome may
take the priced championship to La Belle France
from whence it may in time be returned by an
American whose record is just little more to
the liking Of his countrymen than is that of Jack
Dempsey. And, if the latter does retain his
smirched laurels, the smell of the shipyard will
linger around the wreath while he wears 1t.

City Deserves the Saving.

An expected situation has arisen in connec-
ton with some big jobs OF public work in
Omaha, particularly with the paving of Dodge
street and some other projects Of like nature.
Since the original bids were presented prices on
material have receded greatly. Cement for ex-
ample, Is down 53 cents barrel; labor is back
to IS cents an hour. prewar figures, and other
factors show similar decline in cost.
The city should have the benefit of this No
good reason appears for allowing the contrac-
tors to reap the enormous added profits that are
to ensue if the work is let on the basis of the
original bids
Omaha has taken the "short end" Of several
deals, letting work at high figures. selling bonds
at Unusual interest rates and otherwise contrib
uting to the prosperity" of the postwar period.
1t is time that some advantage were being taken
of changing conditions No business man would
contract today for finished product on the basis
Of raw material cost Of three months ago, or even
Of yesterday, when he sees that material daily
going lower. He would ask for his goods on
basis Of price modified by the cost of production
So should the city. If cement and other ele-
ments that enter into the cost of paving are 60
ing down, it is nexcusable that big contract
should be let on the higher figures of months
ago.
The slight delay that will be incurred through
advertising for new. bids is not material Indeed,
it can we'll be borne If substantial saving can
be achieved through waiting few days longer.
If the city commissioners are sincere in their
professions, and really mean to lower the cost
OF government to the taxpayers, they have a
splendid chance right here Seventy-fve cents a
yard saved on the cost only of the Dodge street

Winning Back From Burlesonism.

A sign of recovery in the management of the
Postoffice department under Will H. Hays is
noted in the restoration of Warren Vandervoort
to the position of superintendent Of the Thir-
teenth division, railway mail service, with head
quarters at Seattle. Mr. Vandervoort grew up
in the railway mail service He was once chief
clerk at Omaha, from whence he was taken to
Chicago to be assistant superintendent, going
from there to Boston as superintendent, where
Burleson found him. The son of former COM
mander-in-chief Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, republican in politics, offered fine
target for the ear Of the postal service, and
despite his splendid record of service, Wander
vooft was denoted and sent to Seattle as an as
sistant superintendent. He was just trihe more
devoted to the postal service than was its head,
for he refused to resign and waited for better
day to come. Postmaster General Hays is re-
deeming his pledge to the prhc when he re-
stores such men as Vandervoort to positions
from which they were removed by Burleson in
order to make place for his favorites. The Hays
policy will succeed, and the destiny of the post
Office be better fulfilled when merit and not
favoritism controls appointments and selections
for important posts.

Taft for Chief Justice.

In appointing William Howard Taft TO be
chief justice Of the supreme court Of the United
States, President Harding has made definite the
continued service of great American to the pub
lie. Something eminently fitting may be noted
in this; the Taft list of activities shows an hon
orable progression through long and varied
employment in the course of which he declined
to be made associate justice Of the supreme
court, eliminating in the Office Of president Step
ping down from this exalted place, Mr.. Taft took
up Immediately the duties Of citizenship, and with
the emergency Of the war demanding his great
ability, became one Of the most useful of men.
II is almost trite to say that he grew after
he left the Office Of president. What really did
happen is that the people OF America discovered
him. That he did change in some degree he
admits himself; In Omaha last summer he made
the statement that he had almost entirely altered
his views on the labor question, result Of his
experience on the War Labor board. Thus, as
the people came to know Taft better, Taft also
came closer to the masses, and the inevitable hap
pened. Senator Borah's cynieisni will not de-
tract from the popularity OF the selection.
A great deal of speculation will probably
ensue as to whether the aspect of the court itself
is changed by the accession of Mr.. TAFT Chief
Justice White was of the strict constructonist
group, as distinguished from MeKenna, Holmes,
Brandcis and Clarke, who are loosely classified
as liberals, and from whom some very notable
dissenting opinions have emanated recently. As
Judge Of the circuit court Mr.. Taft made
record that would warrant his being set down
among the rigid expounders of the fundamental
law; his long and intimate contact with the af-
fairs of life since then may not have given his
anchorage any shifting wrench, but it surely has
enabled him to get better viewpoint as to the
application of those principles of law he so de-
votedly espouses. What is certain is that Viii
liam Howard Taft is not temporizer or
trimmer He will harmonic to the utmost ex-
tent what appears to be the conflict between hu-
manity and the law, but none need doubt that
he will be nAexible for the right when that has
been shown to him by the light Of reason and
experience.
The selection OF Mr. Taft for the high place OF
service to his country is singularly fitting.

Burn the Night Lights.

If General Dawes had not attracted so much
attention for his "hell'n' Maria" locution, he
would have come to the surface because OF his
talk to the 600-odd men who do the spending for
the government, made at mass meeting in
Washington on Wednesday. He did not emit
one sentence that we'll may be substituted for
the mildly profane ejaculation accredited to him.
Burn the night lights" he advised the bureau
and department heads chief clerks and others,
including the president and his cabinet officers,
who were present
Reduction OF government expenditures is the
first step necessary to the lowering OF taxation.
1t may be achieved in several ways, but to get
results that will be of service requires the care
full attention of responsible officials. directed to
phase OF the problem that has been entirely
neglected for too long a<time. General Dawes
proposes that the process be reversed, and that
instead of looking for places to spend money,
scrutiny must be for the purpose of saving money.
He has assaulted the citadel in his first attempt,
bringing home to the men who are more than
my others chargeable with the duty of saving
because they are the ones who make up the esti-
mates and look after the disbursements.
1t has been suggested by some cynical OBJ
,ervcrs that Dawes will meet his defeat because
he is plunging against the solid. unyelding, ir-
responsive and irresponsible phalanx of the
bureaucracy. 1t is hard to overcome the tradi-
tions Of the governing guild, and yet it is pos
iibl. to teach any of them new way of doing
business. One Of the dscomforting aspects Of
our governmental processes is what may be de-
nominated the departmental mind" the habit OF
following custom and making no question, doing
the thing IN the way it has been done from the
beginning and eschewing innovation Of any kind.
This is just what the budget law seeks to break
up. The fixed and lodged practices in the va
rious departments of the government will be dis
turbed but better way should come in the end.
Burn the night lights" will take on its full
meaning In Washington when the men who ad-
minister the government have caught the Dawes
spirit just as they set the example, 50 will the
country be inclined to follow, although the bus-
ness men and manufacturers have been burning
the night lights these many weeks looking for
the solution Of their own problems. Presenta-
ton Of budget in July, with assurance of Sub
stantial savings and corresponding relief from
taxes, will be helpful and encouraging to the
country as sign that the administration Is
earnestly striving to aid as fat as it can to bring
the life OF the land again to norrnalcy.

Dirt Hard Thing to Get in New York.

A gentleman living on the upper East Side
has window box and the other day he hunted
for some dirt in which to grow some flowers.
Getting dirt in New York is like finding drink
OF cool, sparkling water in the middle of the
Sahara.
He asked some workmen in Central park
for few handfuls, and although they were haul
ing it away to the Dump it is against the rules
for anybody to take park dirt away for window
boxes. 1t is quite easy to see that there would
soon be no park if everybody in town started to
dig fishing worms or take away dirt for window
boxes.
So the gentleman finally, through cor
American magazine at one time, arranged to
have some good plain. every day dirt-nothng
fancy-sent to him from Phillips estate up on
the Hudson. The moral is: You can find dirt in
New York If you keep on trying, or something
like that.-Minneapolis Tribune

white children from their mother
who married q colored man. The
decision in question was a correct
one on account Of the fact that Me-
braska statutes positively prohibit
that marriage between the races
and shall not be countenanced, re-
gardless of where the marriage takes
place, and for a further reason the
stigma brought against these chill
dren by their mothers sins from
their schoolmates and other associ-
ates Is enough to give them their
freedom from such curse. How
ever. society may be to blame in not
assisting this mother in her trou-
bles, and i Jeally claim it is on ac-
count of the fact that we should
have. a national statute prohibiting
such marriage. and II not national
law, every state in the union should
copy the Nebraska law and pass 1t
at once, which prohibits the inter
marriage between the races. This
is the only way to bridge the
chasm." The advocacy of the mar
riage between the races by the col
ored people is one OF the reasons
to my mind in the organization of
the Ku Klux klan at this time. 1t
| cannot now or never can DC coun-
tenanced by the Caucasian race.
The colored people should take
more pride In their own race and
fight against the amalgamation Of
| other races, the same as the eau
| casian race does. This will bring
about peace and less friction be-
| tween the races with no riots to
contend with. as most all trouble
between the races is caused by en-
croachment on each others rights.
This must be alleviated il law and
order shall prevail The advocacy
of this question will ultimately
bring about its solution, which will
stamp out the blight on our race.

on what the various tests, including
