President Taft hao consistently arged the neceRslty of this, as former Presi dent Roosevelt did. Already the government Is doing much actual work along this line, but it has not yet concentrated Its efforts, or centralised Its agencies as It roust to eecure tho best results. The mortal ity statistics are enough in themselves to convince one that this need Is im perative. Experts have figured out that ,000.000 persona are aerlounly sick 11 the time in the United 8tates from preventable diseases, and that one third of this number aro in the work- ng period of life, and theh they bring this down to a monetary basts and show that three-quarters of a million actual workers are losing . on an average of 700 per annum, an approximate loss from illness of $500,000,000, to say nothing of the expense of attending them, which may be estimated at an equal sum. Six hundred thousand deaths occur la one jear from prevent- ble causes, Senator Owen asserts. If we may regard these figures as nywhere near accurate, they are ap alllng and serve only more clearly to point out the government's duty in this direction. We are expending mil lions to save our forests, to increase our wealth-producing powers, and this is right, but we must look with even more solicitude to the conservation of human life, avoiding waste and de struction there also. Those Indiana Democrats. Mr. Bryan and the rest of his party must feci elated at the peace and har mony animating the Indiana demo crats as they go into their state conven tion. No wonder they are bo arrogant In their assurance ot success this fall. If this convention, the first to be held, may be regarded as a criterion then we may confidently look for a season of old-fashioned Bourbon hilarity. Here is Colonel Bryan telling the Indlanians what he wants them to do. They listen attentively and then go and do as they please, most of them slipping a blue chip bearing a Pluto sign into their pockets as a lucky stone, thus showing once more Mr. Bryan's complete hold on his party in the state where Lick Springs are lo cated. Governor Marshall as the state leader suggests a convention endorse ment of a senatorial candidate. This la received with the same enthusiasm that, greeted Mr. Bryan's proposals and Mr. Tom Taggart candidate for the United States senate forthwith de nounces the governor's suggestion as bit of impudence and declares against the convention and for the primary plan, Thereupon John E. Lamb, vice chairman of the democratic national committee', another senatorial aspirant, mounts the highest available eminence and denounces Brother Tag gart as an undesirable boss and com mits himself to the Marshall plan Just as things are reaching the boiling point. Senator Shlvely, chosen as the peacemaker, cornea into the fray with an olive branch in his teeth and a chip on each shoulder, denouncing both convention and primary and in slating that the choice of senator shall be left to the legislature. It is difficult to view this situation with a straight face. After all the noise we have heard about Insurgents In congress, the hurrahing over by elections In Massachusetts and New York, r the loud boasts of a "united democracy," this first atate convention reveals the democrats divided into more factions, really, than it has can dldates, and with no earthly hope of anything approaching united action It is but a forerunner of factional fights browing in other states, Mr Bryan's among them, that shows again the obvious fact that the chief reason why the democratic party has never been able to govern the nation is that it cannot govern Itself. n The Paving- Campaign. The check that hao been put on thu local paving campaign may develop into something of a blessing, not that the paving asked for to not needed nor that the property owners are not anxious for tho improvement.- The growth of Omaha has been exemplified in no direction better than in the at tentlon that has been given to its thoroughfares. Citlsens have been more than enterprising In providing for the ourfaclng of streets, and in other construction necessary to bring the city up to a high pott.t, but some times it is well to make haste slowly A score of years ago Omaha under went an experience in the paving line that was both costly and unpleaaant Tho teal that led to the putting down of many miles of wooden block rave ment, that subsequently rotted, was Commendable because of the spirit, but unfortunate because of the result. Another unpleasant experience ot Omaha In the matter of public im provement came in connection with the levying of the tax to pay for the same. This was hastily done, and, as vents proved, was carelessly done, as the city was defeated in suit after suit and large loraes to tho public were sustained as the result of misdirected enterprise and undue haste. Such an experience io desired but once by 0 city. While there is no evidence at hand to indicate that a similar condition may exist in connection with the present paving campaign, there Is ample evidence that many of the peti tions have been hurriedly prepared, that property owners are not entirely greed as to the material to bo used, and that in other details a little more deliberation will do good rather than harm. The city Is able to pay for a con siderable amount of street paving dur ing the current year, but that which Is delayed to another season will be the better done because of the fact l that It has been approached more con eervatlvely. Buchanan and Homesteads. In the courae of a recent speech In the house advocating rigid adherence to the original principle that 'lome- ttead rights belong only to actuil set tlers, Congressman J. Warren Kelfer of Ohio brought to light a point of his tory as to homestead legislation that hould not be lost night of In this day when the country is enjoying to tuch unbounded extent the emoluments of territorial expansion in the vast em pire stretching from the Mississippi to the Pacific. That point of history is that the republican party not only shaped and perfected the laws by which homesteads were obtained In the west, but that it originated and pushed to passage the first law bear- ng on tho subject in spite of the veto of a democratic president. Through the Influence of the repub licans, In congress chiefly, a home stead measure was passed by congress in 1859. Agitation for such a meas ure had gone on for several years and the people had already come io regard it as not only necessary, but entirely warranted by organic law. President Buchanan was a strict constructionist t.nd assumed to bo a great constitu tional lawyer, and when the bill came to him for his approval he vetoed It on the ground that it was "invidious, agrarian and preferred the farmer class to the professional," and was therefore unconstitutional. This remarkable position of the president was sufficient to defeat the legislation and for a time check the popular sentiment that was rapidly gaining ground that the country needed a homestead law. Not until 1862 were the republicans able to bring the matter again to the front in congress. Then the first homestead law was enacted, notwithstanding the fact that the country was in the throes of tho greatj civil war and men's minds were as a ruio not absorbed in the pur suit of so peaceful a policy as home stead legislation. And the point should be impressed on every mind to day that this original law was based upon tho central Idea of actual settle ment on the land. It la unfortunate that in the intervening years this fundamental principle has been too often circumvented by those engaged In speculation and not "home-seeking, but that does not militate lq the re moteBt degree against the enduring benefits that have accrued under this legislation. When this first measure passed con gress and came up to President Lin coin he, unlike his predecessor, saw no conflict between it and the constitution and promptly approved the bill with his signature, making It the law that led really to the organized settlement of the west which today forms so large and important a part of the United States' producing powers. Reward . the Sacrifice. Governor Hughes made a personal sacrifice in accepting a place on the supreme bench wMch the president feared and the people felt he might not be able to make. Now, let con gress reward the sacrifice by passing the bill providing for an increase in the salaries of members of the supreme court. The paltry estate of the late Justice Brewer should be a rebuke to the American people and a prod to con gress. Why should tho richest nation in the world not have the best ma terial there is for the highest tribunal in the land? It is not a question of paying such sums as big corporations pay for legal talent, but It is a ques tlon of paying a man enough money to enable him and his family to live with becoming dignity at the seat ot government, where the expense of llv ing is high, and to enjoy to some ex tent the common right of laying up something for the future. Shut off from the advantage of most invest ments, a justice has only his salary on which to depend. It should, therefore, be more than it is now. No member of congress should dare oppose the bill on the ground of econ omy, for that would b parsimony, if not cheap politics. Dignity and honor have always had their market value in this country and should always have, but there should be no watered stock In the capitalization. The dedication of the peace palace erected at Washington as the gift of Andrew Cainegle to seal the bond of amity between the twenty-one Ameri can republics Is another certain sign of the universal peace to which all good nations look, and the world will applaud this monument, but it would have more timely force if it were not that Peru and Ecuador are just now sparring for an opening at each other with Chllo only awaiting the chance to swat Peru, and Nicaragua still with out a government that is recognized in the United States and a few othor of those twenty-one republics. ' Congressman Hitchcock's campaign manager is trying to secure a definite statement from the "great commoner" as to his purpose in connection with the senatorial race. No publlo an-1 nourrenient of Mr. Pryan's exnet In tention has yet been made, but Mr. Hitchcock might as well prepare to re ceive another sting of ingratitude. The state of Colorado is trying to establish the legnl resMonce of a dead millionaire, not so much because it honors his name, but for the 85,000 Inheritance tax that Is Involved. It might bo well occasionally to de termine these matters by an ante mor tem statement. Regulating the storage of combusti bles Is to be commended, but It only partly meets the requirements. The fire limits should be extended, and more rigid provisions for building should be enacted. The city council still has plenty of work along this line before It. The fact that the Indiana democrats are not paying very much attention to advice from Colonel Bryan doesn't seem to interest the democratic papers. A great deal depends on which side the insurgency is located.

Mayor Oayncr'a vetoes of aUlernianlc appropriations and of tha demands of priv ilege soekers are compounded of eual prv portloiia of sound common sense, Rood ad vice and extract of th simple life. In turning down a resolution appropriating 11, 900 for th purchase of an automobll for the coroner of Richmond county, the mayor expressed th opinion that the cor oner of Rlch.nond county doea not need an automobile any more than the mayor doe. "The tranaportatlon facilities are adequate In Richmond county," the mayor wrote, "and I can say also from actual experiencM that the walking there la fine." About th aame time he found himself obliged to veto several aldermanlc permits authorising various parties to drive adver tising wagons about the streets; but he softened refusal by giving them wise ad vice. Ite told them to "advertise In the newspapers." The rarity of such wisdom In public station deserves gratifying acknowledgment. A record-breaking skyscrarer was going up In New Tork, to a tremendous tune of creaking derricks and changing Iron, mingled with the sharp staccato of pneu matic hammers and the hiss of white-hot bolts, tossed streaking through the air, from story to story, In as nervous and re kUas a gam a catch-as-catch-can aa ever was played with an Innocent hand ball. The Iron foreman a aerlous faced, bull necked young man stood below for a mo ment, bawling up a savage warning at two daring fellows, relates Munsey's. They were riding upon a huge Iron beam that sailed up from the street, awayed ponder ously in mld-alr and then swung rapidly Into Ita lofty anohorage in tha mas of columns, posts and girders. He made a quick grimace of relief and answered a question, his eyes all the time darting anx iously over th great Iron cage above him. "Yep! Story of iron a day that's my orders; and, what's more, w 11 make ltl But I got other orders, too got 'em straight, and they're what keep me guessln.' Thy told me not to kill any men on this Job!" He spoke of It as stolidly as one would mention a waste of materials, and abruptly concluded th Interview by sliding down a ladder to yell at a derrick tender. Thirty minutes later an ambulance rang Its way into the narrow, truck-congested street. Then, in rapid succession, another came, and yet another. Three accidents had happened and the foreman was curs ing the day for a "blue Monday." One of his best "pushers," or assistant foreman, had a leg stripped to the bone by a s iding fifteen ton column. Another man had a hand clipped off at the wrist. A third the same derrick tender whom he had but recently admonished, an old bridge worker who In different acoldents on other Jobs had suffered fractures of both less and several rib had been whirled over th derrick drum, and now lay helpless on a hospital cot, groaning witn tne pain of a dislocated shoulder. Only two gangs, of seven men each, were disturbed and they merely for a few min ute by thes disasters. Th rattling dare devil work went swiftly and remorselessly n. Three iron workers out of a waiting line of a doaen eager applicants got the places of th Injured men. Th others, standing there patiently, wlh their overalls In' little newspaper bundles tucked under their arms, looked disappointed, but hope ful. Ther was scarcely a word of com ment on the accidents. Down on the New York water front there is an unprecedented demand for ocean going excursion boats for June 18, when Theodore Roosevelt returns from Europe. Shipping men expect a harvest twice as big as that reaped by the various steam boat owners during - the Hudson-Fulton celebration. The price of tickets is likely to mount to 110 a head. Nearly every big organisation patriotic, political or social In the city, and scores from other cities, have engaged or expect to engage steamboats for Jun 18, and there Is a good chance that ther will not ba boats enough to go around at any price. Some of th greeting parties plan to go far to sea and It Is expected that there will be a rar to be th first to meet Col onel Roosevelt's steamship. Most of the ships will be equipped with wireless and some of the welcoming organisation are planning to distinguish themselves by the addition to their equipment of unique notse- muklng Instruments. While It Is not yet known whether any war vessels will come here to take part in tne naval parade, a movement la already on foot to have tha forts at the harbor entrance salute th home-comer as he steams up th bay.

From tlm to time, however, hints trlckl out from th offices of th census officials that excite InUreut. For Instance, it Is told by a New York newspaper that a man who was one on of tha fore most diplomats of th United States Is now hidden away in a bowery boarding house, where his Identity has been suc cessfully concealed for years. But this diplomat was not th only Interesting "find" of a single day'a enumeration.
