Dynamite Too Easy to Get.
Los Angeles, whore two years ago
dynamlto figured In one of the most
appalling crimes of the age, hns had
apparently n miraculous cscapo from
another explosion tragedy. It was
not tho fault of tho maniac who on
terod police headquarters loaded
down with tho deadly explosivo that
lives and property were not blown to
atoms. Even the remarkable tact
fulness of tho polloo officers, with
out other unaccountable Interven
tion, at this distance, seems scarcely
adequate to avert disaster.
But tho point of general concern
Is this dynamlto nnd other high
explosives are too oasy to got. They
seem to be procurable somehow by
anyonn who wants them, whothor he
be' a maniac or a desperado careless
of his own and others' lives. Tho
explosive must bo put out of the
reach of reckless people. It should
not be obtalnablo at all except for
legitimate purposes by persons of
known character- Not t6 restrict Its
salo nnd use by law In to make It
a menace to noddy. In tho right
eous outcry against "gun-totlng," an
offectlvo protest should also go out
against the Indiscriminate sale,
transportation and use of these more
dangerous Instruments of outlawry.

Omaha a Foreign Customs Port.
In being designated for cotloctlon

A FEAST FOR THE FAMISHED
Millions of Jnicy Provender for Hungry Democrats.
Washington Dispatch to New Tork Bun.
The great rush for government Jobs
under th Wilson admlnUtratlqn haa be
gun. Democrats from the -four -corners
of the United States and even from
abroad are already starting their run
toward the pie counter, which haa been
closed tight against them for sixteen
years. Before the Mimpede ! over thy

that made Cleveland's administration
memorable, the office seekers, especially
from the south, crowding the cheap
boarding houses In the national capital,
besieging the White House and congress,
some of them flat broke and living from
hand to mouth, and many of them In
the end turning their faces toward home
under the firm Impression that the whole
world, and particularly President Wilson,
Is heartleM and unworthy of true demo
cratic support.
Orover Cleveland for weeks and montha
had to face this hungry office seeking
horde. It made his llfo miserable and
Mr. Wilson's friends arc already acknowl
edging that at the very best he has a
most trying cxperionqe ahead of him.
It Is difficult to give an accurate state
ment of tho exact money value In salaries
that will bo at the disposition of Presi
dent Wilson after March 4 next, but it
has been estimated generally by several
competent authorities that the total will
not fall far short of $30,000,000 a year. If
i-resident Wilaon should yield to the de
mands that will surely be made upon
him for the revocation of the executive
order putting the fourth-claxa postmas
ters under the civil or classified service
this immense sum will be Increased.
When the army of democratic office
seekers awoop down upon this rich
field, Wilson will havo a mighty hard
time In keeping his face set toward civil
service reform and retaining tho ground
that has already been gained by the
Taft and other administrations.
President Wilson's available patron
are disbursements will be much larger
than the list which Orover Cleveland
had at his disposal when he entered
office In 1884. after the democrat had
bean out In the cold for twenty-eight
long years. The number of offices since
Cleveland's first administration has in
creased enormously.
The great bulk of the tsaOO.OOO or mora
which President Wilson may distribute
among Ms faithful followers without
broaklng Into the present civil service
field comes from the salaries of post
masters in the first, seeond and third
olsses. The combined salaries of the
offices In these claaaes amount to IK 000,
000 annually. Here are Forae of the
juiciest of the plums In this basket:

Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Detroit,
Omaha, Buffalo, San Francisco, Milwau
kee, Cincinnati. Newark, New Orleans,
Washington, Lb a Angeles, Minneapolis, St.

class offices.
There are all told 424 first claas offices,
second class offices, paying froth
ROOO to 15,000 a year, and 6.K3 third clans
offloes, with salaries ranging from J1.000
to M.0O0.
The best paying Jobs within President

117,500; thn nine cabinet posts, with 12.000
each, and the 'Seven Panama canal com

OMAHA, Nov. 20, To the Editor of The
See: Every effort that makes for musical
naivete and for idealism of the heart
brings a period of true musical creation
nearer to our land. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Kelly's chinning folk song recital last
night had a mission whlen only requires
understanding to be loved. Does anyone
minx u an easy matter to arrange a
true folk song recital? In fact, the folk
song demands an unusual degree of musi
cal Inwardness. And as for the musical
mission of the folk song, I would range
that with the literary mission of a peo
ple's simplest ereatlons, the nursery
rhymes, the ballads, the Idiomatic prov
erbs, the elementary expressions of a
people's soul. No ona is liable to feel
deeply a language, and master it from
within, who has passed up Its kinder
garten stage. The great writers were
first nourished by the mother's milk ot
their language. The folk song has just
this place.
You can sooner get a vocalist to learn
an operatic aria tolerably well than to
sing a pure folk song and waReu the folk
Ing thrill In hearts, it Is easier to
learn a Ilach fugue than to play a church
hymn ot the grand type beautifully.
Choral and hymn organists of the great
and glorious kind are as rare almost as
whits elephants. Society rushes In ex
quisite robings of the body to "hear the
grand opera," To see grant: opera were
no doubt otun nearer th. truth. How
can theso favored masses expect to un
derstand the mighty music of Lohengrin,
or the orchestral sublimities ot Beetho
ven's mighty Idealism, If their heart, I
say their heart, lacks th fins sense of
the simple folk song, whtoh voices In
Imple forms the naive confessions of tha

chestra, that marv.l of opul.nt Idealism
and yearnings of spirit, boat low enough
to use native American themes from th.
southland. He was just sufficiently big
of soul to do that. In his notes at the
folk song recital last evening Mr. Kelly
made some not only plquaatly stated, but
also informing raferencoa to the value of
th. negro folk song. If his fine words,
brimful of tne right kind ot Idealism, felt
In good soil, tha harvest of this song re

that society will, of course, rush off, now
and then to see grand opera. Then tell
me why Is It that In all centers of our
land, wh.r. you have a strong admixture
ot the foreign born and their Immediate
descendants you have a musical center?
Now. why? Because those people feel th.
simple folk song. That disposes them to
the hlgheet- forms of muslo, as soon as
education permits the grasping of more
complicated musical form.
Yes, Mr. Kelly, you are on the right
track with your folk song recitals. Tho
woeful lament over the unmusical spirit
of our beautifully blessed city will mora

th. education from the simplest mutlcal

If we are Idealistic, why may not Omaha
become a .center of musical creationT If
we will be wise enough to go through the
kindergarten of the'folk song and simple
forms of music, why not gradually an
inher musical life be born here that will
bloom forth in Illy covered fields of mu
sical splendor? Which, perhaps, were
something to be proud of, at I?ast as
much so as of our packing Industries and
bank accounts. A rich nation is the na

relative to winch Blue the street cars
should stop. You are right in your con
tentlon that street car patrons are little
Interested whether cars stop on ona aids
or the other, but aro more' interested In
obtaining more frequent service.. Take,
for instance, the West Leavenworth line,
during the rush hours In the morning anJ
evening, it Is not a question of seating
capacity; it is more a question as to
whether or not passengers will bo able
to get on. This line ts discriminated
against in favor of the west side Han
soom park, and many people find it neces
sary In the evening to take the west side
Hanseom park line as far as Park avenus
and Leavenworth with the hope that at
that- point they will be -able to gain ac
cess to some "tlat-wheeled, discorded
car" from- another line that the street car
company In all their gsodnees of heart
have seen fit to place In sen-ice on West
Leavenworth street.
It lies absolutely In the power of the
city commission, lf they were not sound
asleep and blind to th. neds of th.
public, to remedy conditions of this kind,
If the city commission passed an ordi
nance, as city councils have done in other
cities, denying rbe right ot the street car
company to collect fares until seats were
provided, our poverty-stricken street car
company would soon raise sufficient funds
to handle their traffic. Or if the city
commission would not permit the street
rar company to charge the same rata ot
fare from those passengers who are now
being handled more in the style of live
Stock instead ot human beings, then in
that event that poor corporation owned
by "widows and orphans" perhaps would
seo their way clear to provide better
facilities, C. O. GAItLBEno,
