Municipal Credit 0n.ee More.'
Discussion of tho reasons why
Omaha's municipal credit Is not as
high as it should be Is more than a
mere academic debate because U
moans money to the taxpayers of the
city whether Its bonds are quoted
high or low. But all sorts of In
grodlents enter Into the make-up of
a city's crodlt just as they do Into
the credit of an Individual or a
privato corporation. Perhaps some
light may bo shed thereforo by tho
compilation of tho financial statistics
of cities for the year 1910, Just Is
sued by tho census bureau, contain
ing detallod exhibits, not only for
Omaha, but for all the largo cities
of tho country.
At tho cloao of the year 1910 it
should be remembered that this
Is before our $7,000,000 water
bond Issue Omaha's total debt is
given as (9,001,068, of which!
17,531,579 is put down ns an obliga
tion against the city, and $1,469,489
as an obligation against tho school
district Deducting sinking fund
expenses and floating debt reduces
the total to 6, 662,312, or a per
cuplta debt of $62.80. It Is this per
capita debt figure that challenges at
tention, because It Is larger with
three exceptions than that of tbo fif
teen cities next abovo us In popula
tion. In this same column the per
capita debt of Minneapolis Is given
as 938.19, of Kansas City ab $26.78,
of Indianapolis as $18.71, of St. Paul
as $44.01 and to Donver as $6.93.
It Booms to us that thcso figures
rolnforco Tho Doe's suggestion al
ready made, that somo officer, or of
ficial body, should bo charged with
responsibility to glvo us a financial
policy deslgnod to build -up Omaha's
municipal credit rather than lot It
drift as It has boon, nnd buffeted
about wholly at haphazard.
Democrats and the Tariff Board.
Perhaps Minority Leader Mann
should not bo so severe on. tho demo
crats for rejocting tho tariff commis
sion. Idea, since they are not really In
favor of tariff. Congressman Kin
kald seems to sot forth tho situation
rather happily when ho says:
Now i grant that the democratic party
Is perfectly consistent and logical In op
posing a tariff "board. For what use or
utility Is a tariff board without tariff?
There can ba no necessity for a tariff
board when froo trade is the goal.
The big thought for tho country
Just now Is that In passing undor tho
rod of democratic dispensation It for
feits the principle of protection,
which has been in' vogue almost con
tinuously during this porlod of what
may Justly, bo termed the golden age
pf American prosperity. For the
whole democratic Idea of tariff-making
excludes the eloment of protec
tion entirely, However Insistent
oKhA..00 tno demand for tariff re
duction; it-docs not seem either safe,
or wlso to dispense with tho protec
tive" principle, around which, if not
positively upon which, our unprece
dented prosperity has been con
structed. Tho country might view
with more complacency tho opora
tionof tho new tariff law if, with its
revisions of duties, it conserved in
stead of destroyed tho basic law of
protection and progress.
And There Are Others.
An interesting parallel, to a nearby
condition Is reflected In a discussion
being waged JuBt now in tho New
York nowspapers. It seems that the
metropolis has gone to the Catskllls
for a new water supply, building an
aqueduct through some of the choic
est land in Orange and Ulster 'coun
ties, and thoroby Inflicting, it Is al
leged, inestimable damage on the
farms traversed. Complaint Is par
ticularly mado against tho exemption
from taxation of the lands coiv
demand, and the property and
franchise In tho aqueduct,, which, by
subtracting from previous revenues,
threatens to put some school dis
tricts and towns almost out of bus!
riess, To quote from one clergy
man's expostulation:
To burden a lot of Innocent people In
these counties because n bunch of politi
cal appointees grew fat out of a barrel
filled with grease from Albany and New
York City Is not fair.
Verily, no spot on this mundane
earth has a monopoly of troubles.
Whitman and Jerome.
District Attorney Whttman of New
York seems to be procuring a good
many important convictions without
as much fan-fare as Mr. Jerome, who
In the samo office somo years ago
gained a big reputation as a public
prosecutor. Mr. Jerome may have
been much the better lawyer and a
greater terror to evil-doers, yet U
does seem that in tangible results
Mr. Whitman. Is doing as well and
better than his illustrious predeces
sor. '
Perhaps Whitman Is but reaping
some of tho fruits of Jerome's sow
ing and cultivating. No man builds
well unless he builds permanently.
Who knows but the present apparent
collapse of certain forms of iniquity
in New York was really begun by
undermining blows dealt by others
who have worked without crodlt. it
seems to be much easier to convict
now than before. "The whole atmps
phere of tho city of New York Is sur
charged at the present time," said 1
lawyer for some of the .accused
"with a determination to convict1

Twice Told Tales
Cnrtnlllno' n Fish Story,
When Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
was abroad, he attended a dinner one
evening at which tho diners were relat
ing their advanturcs:
"An Englishman, who had recently re
turned from Africa, related a tale of a
tiger he had shot which measured thirty
feet from snout to tall-tip," says the
senator. "Of course, every one was-
astonished, but no one ventured to In
sinuate a doubt of the truth of the story.
"Presently a Scotchman told a story of
a fishing adventure he had Just had. He
caught a fish which he said he was
unable to pull In alone, landing It only
after having the help of five friends. He
said the fish covered two acres.
"Complete silence followed this story
and the Engllsman, decidedly offended,
nroee and left the table. The host fol
lowed. Returning In a few moments, he
said to the Scotchman;
1 Sir, you have Insulted my friend. I
must ask you to apologise.'
" 'I dlnna Insoolt him,' replied the
Scot
" 'Yes, ho considers that you did,' said"
the host 'with your two-acre fish story.
I must Insist upon an apology.'
' 'Well, said the offender, slowly, 'tell
him If he will take fifteen feet off that
tiger, I will see what 1 can do with
the fish.' " " '
Root's Vein of Romance,
Senator Root praising one of the Ameri
can pictures at the recent International
exhibition In New York, said It was as
poetical as an old storekeeper he had
known In his boyhood.
"This storekeeper," he went on. "was
always doing kind ththgs and saying
lovely ones. I remember a spring when
he was having his store repainted. He
told the painter to leave a certain corner
untouched for the time being. He ex
plained that the young people at that
season did all their courting there and
he didn't want them to get smudged.
" 'But objected the painter, 'these
young folks would be fools not to know
the smell of fresh P&lnt'
" 'Young feller,' said the old store
keeper, 'you've never had a girl; that's
plain. If you had, you'd know that when
folks ore In love everything wet, wet
paint Included, smells like vlolents and
roses.' "
Precision of Figures.
President Wilson at a dinner In Wash-
Inton said of a statistician:
"His figures are so precise that one In
clines to doubt them. He Is like the
American sugar plantor In Hawaii, who,
taking a friend to the edge of a volcano.
said:
That drater, George. Is just 70,00
years old..'
" 'But why the fourT' George asked.
" 'Oh, I've been here four,' was the
reply. 'It -was 70,000 when I came.' "

Out I would hate to do It dally.
Take It from me. you sluggish men.
Whose arteries may some day harden
Tor lack of work, lis truth I pen;
Tou ought to labor In a garden.

And strain your muscles with a hoe;
There Is no more delightful trade.
Unless that way you earn your dough.
1 glory In the stubborn ground.
And conquer It with fertlllier;
Now every morning I am found
A bright and smiling early riser,
Jt's fun to haul In toads of dirt
And lug out chunks of solid clay;
In confidence, though. I'll assert,
I'd hate to do It by the day.
Think you I mind this aching back.
Or cars because my muscles twinge
Or that my bones, with each attack.

A source of pleasure unalloyed;
But. confldSntally, my boy,

A- little homo adown a lane,
A vine upon the ftneo In uloom;
A child face ttt the window punt.,
A sweetheart singing through the rolit
A frugal board around whose rim x
Brlgnt faces of tne morning snlr.c;
Tho music ot n little hymn,
A bluebird In tho crecpur vine.
A hopeful trust and confidence.
In mutual purposes of Ufo:
One woman and a constant love.
Fair children and a faithful Wife.
Oh, masters of tho force of things,
Tho powers and potentates that be,
Look on the peace that hlthor vlr)ff
And tell me If you envy met
A llttlo toll to make life mean
A manly and a wholesome task;
A bending tree, a plot of green,
A little for the poor who ask.
A feeling In my heart for those
Who face tho thunder and the flame;
Beneath the feet that ache a rose,
For every man a gentle name.
An elemental drift toward
The honest truth as far as men
Can guess tho purpose of tho Lord
And live as brothers should again.
A twilight when the purple skies
Die Into shadows thin and gray, '
And God looks down with tender eyes
To see us put our cares away.

Welcome to thjis new com

finishing touch that makes you
forgot the razor that pulled,
the burning sting of a tender
skin, the hide you lost, and
those "bleeding blunders"
cuts'. In fact your shave gets
to be almost a necessary
pleasure when you wind
