AVill Hayward has resigned his po
sition as chairman of the Republican
Stato Committee to take effect June
ICth or when his successor is appointed
That is about the proper caper con
sidering the fact that the gentleman
is a candidate for the congressional
nomination and some people might
think that he was using his position
on the committee to advance his
personal political ambitions.
At the Wisconsin republican con
vention, held at Milwaukee yesterday
President Taft and his administration
was cheeered to the echo and the in
surgents were denounced in no uncer
tain manner. It appeared to be the
sense of the convention that a
republican who did not support re
publican measures in congress and who
did not vote the' republican ticket is
not a repub.ican in any sense of the
word.
Tor some time the highly sensi
tized nerves of the Standard Oil, the
Produce exchange and other large
corporations in New York have been
jarred by office boys playing basobal
in the streets in front of their offices at
lunch hour. Sidestepping base balls
in transit through the air proved too
exhilarating a divertisement to the
barons of high finance and this week
they complained to Mayor Gaynor
for redress of their grievance. Their
contention that the plaza, which is
hallowed by memories of Peter Stuy
vesant and the Dutch forbears of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who in the
pastoral days of New York's early
settlement bowled on the velvet
sward of Bowling Green, was not suit
able for base ball, impressed the Mayor
and he ordered the Custom House side
of Battery Park thrown open to the
boys during lunch hour. The site
selected is opposite the big office build
ing of the the coal barons and aroum
the corner from 20 Broadway, the home
of John D. Rockefeller s giant monoply
Fraunce's Tavern, where Washington
bade farewell to his officers, is now
down the street. Every day the young'
sters are joined at play by some of
the grizzled old lbatrosscs of the finan
cial world who sympathized with tin m
in their troubles.
That the Customs regnlat ions are no
respect or of persons is being empha
sized anew every day under the ad
ministration of Collector of the Port
Loeb. Last week it was former Cover
nor Rollins of New Hampshire who
ran afoul of the law; this week Colonel
Henry C. Stuart, of Virginia, son of
the famous confederate cavalry leader
Mrs. Henry C. Frick, wife of the Pitts
burg multi-millionaire, and Count
Tedesco, of Italy, got tangled in the
meshes of the Customs net, now spread
out with more care than ever to catch
those who by accident or design or
through lack of information contrive
to evade the payment of duty on im
portations. The Stuartsh ad their
baggage held up pending an investi
gation of their declaration as to the

Nebraska Telephone No. 85
1910.
It was a bad dream for them, now
et us all love one another.
'Tis said that the Big Muddy is
showing rising indications and a de
sire to be again up and doing.
The postal savings bank bill has
passed the house by a vote of 195 to
101, not a republican voting against
it. The democratic substitute bill was
turned down decisively.
After abusing the president to his
heart's content, in season and out,
by word of mouth and through the
newspapers, one Francis Burton
Harrison, democratic representative
from New York, thinks he was treated
badly because the president refused to
see him at headeiuarV'rs. He sure
showed nerve to esxpect any other
treatment at the hands of the chief
executive whom he has been pleased
to abuse and vilify.
There is not a man in the state of
Nebraska better qualified to bo gov
crnor than George L. Sheldon. Mr,
Sheldon is a prince among men and
lias proven himself to be a tower of
strength in his state. His two years
experience in this capacity has flitted
him far better for the position and he
is the logical man for the republican
party to bring forward in the primaries
With all due respect to Aldrieh or
any other candidate who maybe
thought of as available timber
Mr. Sheldon is our man, and the Times
will not be found wanting in its effort
to assist in making Sheldon the se
lection for Gov of Nebraska. Bcemcr
Times.
Mr. Roosevelt, our foremost citi
zen, and the most talked of man in the
worhl, will be home soon and his re
ception at the hands of his countryman
will be an object lesson to one W. J
Bryan of what the people of Jiis
great republic think of a man who
dews things bedsides talk. Roose
velt's reception will eclipse any lik
event ever accorded a returning Am
erican and one good thing about it is
the man deserves all that he will get.
Still there are many men in public
life who arc somewhat uneasy be
ease they do not know just what the ex
presidem, is going to say to his country
men upon the important issues of the
day. Of one thing they may be sure
his European silence upon home mat
ters will be broken and there will be
little doubt left in the minds of all as
to just where he stands. Roosevelt
is probably as well posted upon con
ditions as any man in the country and
that means there will be something
doing soon.

SAME OLD BUNCO GAME.
When the democratic state coinmitte
met last week to arrange for the
eiemocrauc siaic convention two so
called officers of a pretended peipulist
state eoniniitte'C put their heads to
gether and issued a call for a populist
state convention to meet at the same
time ami place as the democrats.
The purpose of thbj ' motion-picture
farce is, of course, te lay the founela
tion for another chapter of the bunco
game which has been played on Ne
braska voters for so many stieccstive
years by which democratic office seek
ers get on the official ballot twice,
once as democrats and again as pop
ulists.
Of course there would be no object
in carrying out this masquerade unless
considerable remnant of the once
powerful populist party in this state
were still to be inveigled into voting
for democrats only when thus mis
branded and sailing under false colors.
We have heard a great deal from time
to time about "embezzlement of pow
er" and theft being "none the less a
crime because committed under forms
of law," but democrats in this state,
notwithstanding their claim to have
joineled hands with decency, keep
up this purloining of the populist
votes simply because they have founel
a loop-hole in the law that permits
them to do it Bee.
BY DIRECT VOTE.
Nebraska will try the Oregon plan
of electing United States senators
this year. The vote will be direct.
Both parties will nomibnate their
candidate at. the primaries. The
names of the democratic anel of the
republican candidate will then be placed
on the ballot for the November
election and the one receiving the
nignest nuniuer oi votes win ue declar
ed the choice of the legislature. But
how is this going to be accomplished!;
Candidates for the legislature will
or will not, sign, before their nomi
nation or election, "statement No. 1.
This statement will be that the can
didate pledges himself to cast his vote
as legislator, for that caneliclate for
the senate receiving the highest nun
ber of the votes of the people of Ne
braska. If a legislative candidate
docs not thus pledge himself he
siands a mighty peior chance of election
in- this state. He is not compelled
so to pledge himself but the liklihood
is that before he gets very far into the
campaign he will do so. The demo
cratic state committee, nmreover
has practically decreed that all legis
lative candielates sign statement No
1, and Senator Burkett has likewise
expressed his willingness and readiness
to submit to the popular vote. ; Since
there is apparently no candidate
against him for the republican nonii
nation, republican caneliddates for
the legislature have only encourage
ment to sign statement No. 1. State
ment No. 2 is to the effect that the
legislator, if elected, may disregard the
vote of the people in the matter and
vote for the man, who in his opinion,
wouhl serve best the interests of the
people of the state. The plan had the
crucial test in Oregon, upon its first
application, of a republican legislature
being called upon, under the pledges,
to elect a democratic senator. The
legislators underwent the test success
fully. To some it was bitter medicine
but they skeined to all feel the better
for it afterwards; and Senator Bourne
the republican colleagucof t he Oregon
democratic senator thus chosen, highly
recommends the prescription. Grand
hland Independent.
