COMPARING THE PLATFORMS.

Plenty of time before November for the critical
examination of the platforms adopted in Nebraska
by the respective political parties. The chief diff
ference between them state issues has to do with
The form of government. Republicans declare in
favor OF amending the existing law to make it give
better service A further elimination of overlap
and interference in administrative departments and
bureaus is promised Democrats propose to throw
overheard the entire system, but say nothing of
what they will substitute for it.
This plank should engage the most serious dis
cusson of the campaign, for it involves the entire
government machinery budget and all. Republicans
want to carry into the administration of state affairs
the same tested and effective methods that are
adopted by successful business men everywhere The
democrats leave the inference that they want to re-
turn to the old sipshod, haphazard methods, under
which the governor the head and center of
huge tangled mass of administrative boards bureaus
and commissions and such the chief engineer of
great political machine.
Fusome laudation of Charles W. Bryan will not
deceive anyone, up his deficiencies. To
praise his efforts to improve agriculture must chal-
lenge attention to his action bovine tuberculosis
While the party is congratulating Ashton C. Shaen-
berger for his services as congressman its leaders
should recall that Governor Bryan denounced Mr.
Shalenberger and his associates grafters because
they insisted having appropriation for the
eradication of disease from the fine herds of
Nebraska.
On other points the platforms diametrically
opposed. The republicans propose to go ahead,
amending laws where necessary to continue enight-
ened progressive government in the state. With just
much emphasis the democrats propose to repeal
these laws, and go back to where we were few
years ago
1t is the old story, repeated through the years
since first the democratic party it is
stituted was organized Republicans looking
ahead, democrats are looking backward. Republicans
want to go to higher and better things. the demo-
Gratis want to turn back to outworn and discarded
things. That is the fundamental difference between
the two parties. On its record of achievement in the
state the republican party confidently approaches
the voters.

FOUR NEEDED CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

Submission Of four proposed amendments to the
city charter to be passed upon by the voters Tues
day next should be pleasant reminder that Omaha
now actually enjoys home rule Our people for
themselves decide the details of methods of
government.
Each of the four anne endments suggests an i'm
provement. Experience is back Of them The first
requires that the city engineer prepare detailed
estimate of the probable of any public improve
ment before advertisements asking bids inserted
Under such practice the property owners affected
will know in advance what paving other better
ments in service is likely to cost. basis for check
ing bids is thus established in advance and much of
the juggling that has been known in the past should
be eliminated.
The second amendment provides for the setting
aside of sinking fund sufficient for bond is
at maturity. This is good practice With such
law in force the credit of the city should be ma
teriay improved.
A third amendment changes the time for paying
for property taken for the opening or widening of
streets. 1t gives the owners of benefited property
ten years instead os so days in which to make the
payments Should this amendment be adopted, a
number of changes in streets now hanging fire will
be carried through They delayed, not because
the need is recognized but because what amounts
to cash payment by property of the cost of
the improvement is too great hardship.
The fourth change will empower the city council
to improve boulevards within two and onehaf miles
of the city hall without waiting for petition Under
this it will be possible to improve existing boule-
wards that they will become in fact well in name
pleasure drives. Much unfavorable comment is
heard from time to time concerning the condition of
these drives which have not been improved because
the commission is unable to make the necessary
order under the existing law
The amendments have the endorsement of the
municipal affairs committee OF the Chamber of Com
merce and others who have examined them and
should meet the hearty eommendation of the voters.
Each is a step ahead in municipal government, and
as such means progress for Omaha.

MARY BAIRD BRYAN.

When Nebraska people think Of the patient suf-
ferng of Mrs. William j. Bryan for the last decade,
they instantly forget partsanship and sectaranism,
and everything else but their friendship and admra
tion for this splendid wife and mother. For num-
ber of years Mrs. Bryan has been suffering an af-
fiction that has rendered her almost helpless. The
best medical attention has not availed and now
Mrs. Bryan has turned to faith for healing Always
a devoutly religious woman, she now declares her
belief that if she but has faith enough she will be
restored to health. And everywhere in this broad
land there and women who will pray daily
that this good woman may be healed.
+ Healing by faith is new thing. Turning to
faith healing a last resort has been trait OF
our common humanity To pray for health and then
doubt to pray for help and strength and then doubt
eis to, pray in vain
: Faith builds bridge across the gulf Of Death
, TO break the shock blind Nature not shun,
And lands Thought smoothly on the further shore"
Prayer is the outward expression Of inward
taith and that prayer is only answered in proper
ton to the faith that is behind it. And the faith

Omaha-To the Editor of The Oma-
| la Zee: During the last few years
| the taxpayers OF Omaha, in common
with those OF other localities, have
complained bitterly and with good
cause, of the steadily growing taxes,
| state. county and city, to say nothing
OF the income tax assessed by the
national government. A great part
OF This increase is. no doubt due to
| much higher material and labor costs,
but the public cannot ger away from
the idea that some of tile increase is
due to the carelessness or inefficiency
Of those handling our public funds.
Omaha. during the last three years,
has done much In the way OF public
improvements. and 1t should be thank.
ful that the department handling this
work for the city has been in charge
OF a man who was efficient and hon
est and whose efficiency and honesty
was backed by a determination to get
for the city the best of material and
Workmanship at the lowest prices
obtainahle.
Joseph Koutsky did not hesitate to
go outside OF Omaha for bids when
he was satisfied that local contra ctors
were not offering their lowest prices
for work. OF course, this was resent
ed by the local men. who think that
Omaha contractors should do Omaha Is
work. ! fully agree with them. but
only to the point where our taxpay
ers are not called upon to pay a
bonus in order to keep this money In
Omaha, and Mr.. koutsky did only
W hat any good business man would
do under similar circumstances in his
own business.
In looking over the cost of the en-
gineering and supervision of the work
done by Mr.. Koutsky's department,
we find that during the last three
years an average OF lis per cent more
work done by this department over
the three.yesr period just prior to
Mr.. Koutskys election. The cost OF
this work during the last three years
as compared to the 191S192O period
shows an increase OF only per cent
TO me. this showing Is convincing of
the fact that the department has
been run on an economical business

ANY sensible business man. having
a good manager would certainly not
discharge him after three years OF
economical and profitable manage

sake of putting in a new and untried

The Tree Planters.
Editorials from +,

From the York Republican.
It Is so years since j. Sterling Nor
tons love OF nature and his vision of
the future prosperity of his state
from the planting OF trees brought
about the designation of Arbor day.
Since that time It has become a ma
tional day and millions OF trees have
been planted on that day or because
of the sentiment inspired by IT.
No one can estimate the value OF a
good, tree. Its value cannot be com
puted in money But if a scale OF val
ues could be contrived Mr.. Morton's
idea would be found to be worth bill
lions OF dollars to the people OF this
nation.

observance has been recognized BY

held gratefully in the thought Of peo=

OF trees that were planted a genera
ton ago But 1t was expected by the
author OF the day, and believed by
his contemporaries, that year upon
year with growing value OF the i'm.
portance Of the custom, citizens of
the state and nation would plant
trees. thus not merely replenishing
the trees that did not survive the
rigors Of climate or the bane OF ne.
glect, but adding continually to the
wooded treasures until waste places
we're reclaimed and the land made
glad with increasing verdure.
1t does not take the trained eve Of
the horticulturist to see the need for
more trees. Our fathers made a good
start out here on the plains in clothing
the baroness OF the land with trees.
But 1t WAS only a start. The orchards.
some OF them planted with great
hopes, have died from neglect, the
shade trees they set out with such
care are gone from blight or by the
ax, until today there is a crying need
for trees TO take the place. OF those
that have gone the way of neglected
things.
Arbor day needs a revival. The
