'Is it a Party Issue t
Although iho convention of Ne
braska republicans Incorporated Into
their platform a resolution favoring
county ' option ' and the convention of
Nebraska democrats held simultane
ously refused to make a similar dec
laration, that dos not necessarily
make the question a party issue. The
best proof that county option is not
to be a party issue in the impending
campaign, and will not be so regarded
even by those who favor lt.Js the
attitude of the Anti-Saloon league
which officially proclaims:
The . Antl-8aloon -league of Nebraska
desire to have It clearly understood that
In any event It will not support th can
didates of any. political party merely be
cause that party has placed a county op
tion plank In Its platform. Our support
will only ba given to candidates who
pledge themselves to support county op
tion Irrespective of wnat their party plat
form may declare.
So far as the ' antl-saloonlsts are
concerned, therefore, the declarations
of the platform conventions are not
to be taken as conclusive. On the
contrary, they annourfce further that
where the candidates of, neither polit
ical party come up ,to their require
ments they will try to get etltlon can
didates committed to county option to
whom they con conscientiously give
their support to run against the reg
ular party nominees.
Neither does the fact that the re
publicans in convention voted for a
platform declaration for county option
and the democrats voted against It
prove that county option finds more
of Its advocates in one parly than in
another. It is stated on best author
ity, that the delegates in control in
the democratic convention were op
posednot to county option, but to
making a platform ' declaration of it,
and that a vote on the question
showing personal preference would
have completely reversed the majority.
It is evident that Mr. Bryan does
not regard county option as a party is
sue in the forthcoming Nebraska cam-
r a
palgn, for, in spito of his declaration
that a platform is binding as to what
it omit b, he has announced that the
omission will .not prevent him from
continuing to advocate county option
and to support only county option can
didates, , The populists, moreover, in
their platform, declarations say that
they, having no candidates of their own
in the field, will support the candi
dates of other political parties who ac
cept their county option pledge, al
though, as we have before remarked,
we doubt whether the populists will
practice what they preach.
We submit these facts for the bene
fit of republicans opposed to county
option who might otherwise Incline to
believe that only by acting with the
democrats can they, register their
votes In opposition.' : , If the Antl-sa
loonists refuse to accept" platform dec
larations and look to men" 'and meas
ures," then those who 6ppose the -anti
saloon program may claim the same
right.
Need for Church Organization,
One of the hopeful signs of the
times with reference to the mission of
the church is that religious teachings
seem to be turning the searchlight of
inquiry and the shafts of honest criti
cism upon, themselves and their insti
tutions, with a faithful view to getting
at those things that obstruct progress
knd supplanting them with proper
methods. . .
The Interior of Chicago, one of the
militant organs of evangelical Chris
tianity, has this to say:
Dr. Talcott William, the Philadelphia
journalist who Is also a aealous Episco
palian layman, pointed out at a church club
dinner not long ago a contrast between
political organisations and the church
which he thinks fully explains the weakness
of the church in the poorer districts of the
cities. "A Tammany hall leader," said he,
"knows every widow and orphan In his
district. He knows when every boy is com
lng to an age when he will need a position
and he gets him one." Mr. Williams didn't
need to remark that there is no church
officer who has that Information; his
hearers understood the point of difference.
But why should Tammany know widows
and orphans better than the church doesT
It Beems to us that Dr Williams and
the Interior have come mighty near
hitting the nail on the head. Anyone
who has studied church methods as a
whole and has not been impressed with
the need for greater, more effective or
ganlcation must be slow to receive inv
presslous. In some cases churches are
carrying on splendid institutional
work, but it is. fair to say that this is
not the rule; that the church is not
exhausting Its resources and powers in
that direction. If it were such crlti
cisms as the above would not be made
by So Intelligent and well Informed
an organ of church work.
The day is past when a churchman
be he of the clergy or laity, can com
plete his work in the, pulpit or the pew
and if he is to keep his cause on a par
ity with other, aggressive forces of
righteousness and it should go above
the parity he must exert a stronger
effort. The young people's society of
this church and that have been instru
mental in , accomplishing great good
but they have not done -the kind of
work which is pointed out from thi
example of Tammany Hall; the kind
of work which ought to be done.
The church itself has declared that
Its hope lies In the boys and girls, the
men and women of' tomorrow. Yet,
except In unusual Instances, 1 is not
getting hold. or. doing what Is most
calculated to get hold, of these boy
and girls. Just -exactly this practical
sort of missionary work by which Tarn
many holds its grip on the lower
classes is what , would yield large re
sults for the church. As the Interior
says, why should Tammany know wld
ows and orphans better than the
church does? It was among . the wld
ows and. orphans that the One for
whom the church today stauds alway
went In Iris mission whether He visited
the other strata of society or not.
Ethics for Lawyer.
The current Outlook gives a list of
states whose bar associations have rat
ified and adopted the canons of ethics
for the legal profession which were
formulated and accepted at the Amer
ican Bar association two years ago.
The list Includes the bar associations
of the seventeen following states: New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jer
sey, Maine, Iowa, Florida, Tennessee,
South Dakota, Kansas, Indiana, North
Dakota, Ohio, Washington, Nebraska,
Louisiana and Vermont. The Outlook
goes on to explain that this has not
been accomplished without opposition
and discussion,
But if we understand th facts aright
the opposition has been not to the principles
embodied In these canons, but to the adop
tion by the stat of the canons formulated
by a national association. A certain char
acteristic of American pride or independ
ence, prevailing curiously where state
rights are not supposed to be popular,
serve to prevent one state from accepting
the ethical principles a formulated by
any organisation outside of that state.
. If this Is the correct explanation It
certainly reflects a peculiar state of
mind among lawyers who make up the
various associations which have balked
on endorsing the proposed professional
code. This code sets up rules of con
duct tor legal practitioners prescribing
a high standard of .professional honor
and integrity. But it. evidently omits
one vital principle in failing to de
nounce It as unprofessional for one set
of lawyers to accept the ethics formu
lated by another Bet. If this logic is
good for lawyers, of course it Is like
wise good for all other professions
supposed to be guided by ethical codes.
The doctors of one state should refuse
to be bound by. any rules of medical
practice presented by doctors of other
states. The lawyers are commonly
supposed to acquire by virtue of their
profession a breadth of vision and gen
eral catholicity beyond the man en
gaged in ordinary avocations, but on
the showing they will have to rebut
this evidence to the contrary.
Aurora' i Health Laws.
The thriving little city of Aurora,
111., has stamped its foot in the face of
fashion, hurled form to the winds, de
fied the slow processes of education
and taken a Bhort cut to an ideal
method of compulsory sanitation,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other town, city or bailiwick.
Its board of health has adopted a set
of rules with which each pereon must
comply every day and ita mayor and
chief of police have affixed their signa
tures to the list as indicating that the
city does not propose to rely wholly on
moral suasion. The first man, woman
or child caught in the act of violating
any one or all of these precepts will be
dealt with as the law made and pro
vided in such cases provides.
And 'the .first commandment in this
decalogue for there are just ten is
thla:
"Every person must take a bath
once a week."
Consideration of such other injunc
tions as no spitting, killing files, clean
towels 1 and wash rags, clean rooms,
open windows and only two in a room,
may be waived for the moment that
we might dwell with respectful delib
eration upon this, the first and great
est commandment the weekly bath.
To begin with, the perplexity must
strike moat people alike how enforce
that law? There are possibly some
50,000 persons in Aurora. Is each in
dividual, or each household, to be
watched over by some menial minion
of the law to see that he or she takes
his and her bath? The city might
have little difficulty in securing enough
willing inspectors, but would that
Bchemo work out satisfactorily? Yet
the chief of police saya he can and will
enforce the law. And Aurora desires
that it be understood this rule is not
designed In the interest of the Bath
Tub trust.
Caution and Courag-e.
When forest fires were devastating
towns in Wisconsin the other day a
brave man seized a locomotive, at
tached to which was a train of cars
and by making successive trips back
and forth saved the entire population
of one small village from what threat
ened certain death. On the same day
an explosion at Fortress Monroe killed
eleven soldiers and maimed and man
gled others, and these wounded men
declined medical treatment until they
could help complete the work of res
cue, though enduring untold agony
Fine courage, we call this; genuine
heroism! Nobody can help but ad
mire willing self-sacrifice. But both
these calamities were due to neglect
on the part of somebody. The gun in
the battery would not have exploded
had some one of these heroes taken the
precaution to examine it and to find
that it waa not In condition for use,
and it may yet develop that the forest
fires would not have started had some
one not gone away leaving a blase In
the woods about which he may have
been cooking or camping. One of the
worst forest fires recently of the far
northwest was caused Just this way
ine point is, people are seldom as
cautious as they are courageous, In
the small as well as In the large things
of lite. If they were there would be
less call for this daring heroism. .Even
the rack of pain and suffering often
seems to ne alleviated by the warm
glow of adulation that comes to the
hero, so, while it is none the less com
mendable, the fine display of courage
Is not the most unnatural or the hard
est task to m3t. It Is a mean spirit
indeed, that would falter at the chance
of. saving human life. But It U far
better to be cautious at the right, time!
than courageous when that la the only
thing possible. Even the law defines
a certain lark of caution as criminal
negligence and provides penalties for
It. This should suRgest to all the im
perative necessity of thinking and act
ing at the proper time and avoiding
this too common habit of careless pell
mell, hurly-burly that takes account
of nothing or nobody except self, and
often in Its anxious haste, uncon
sciously or Ignorantly, Ignores that.
The person who provides against
danger is, perhaps, not as spectacular
a hero as the one who shines amidst
it, but he is far more useful to society.
This is a lesson It would pay seme
automobile drivers to learn.
Spain and the Vatican.
The questions at Issue between
8paln and the Vatican involve time
honored traditions, civil and ecclesias
tical constitutions of. the most tech
nical character, so that the situation
is far too complex for long-distance
discussion, and yet enough is apparent
to indicate that only avery wise and
very conservative force can now pre
vent a further breach.
It may be that under the heat of ex
citement some of the popular anti
clerical demonstrations are not safe
criteria, but the public utterances of
Premier Canalejas and his determina
tion not to withdraw or modify his
anti clerical program have an ominous
bearing. Borne bitter feeling has been
engendered and this, added to the com
plexity of the details involved In the
controversy, make It very difficult for
the outside world either to gauge or
understand, but these things do not
prevent one from observing that it will
require great moderation on both sides
to avoid complete severance of rela
tions that have for so long existed. If
the Vatican Is to retain 11b measure of
control over the social and political
affairs of Spain, then it must first
bring about a much different state of
affairs than now exists.
The cause of Canalejas seems to be
menaced by this one fact that It has
rallied together many varying classes
of anti-clericals and the premier has
not yet proved that he can reconcile
all these different factions or unite
them on anything like a common basis.
Until he can accomplish this, of course,
the power of the Vatican will not be
in the gravest danger to which it might
be subjected. But if the premier can
assimilate his forces, then, unless a
more conservative element asserts
itself, possibly through the influence
of the crown, it will be difficult to see
how separation is to be avoided.
Canada's Anti-Strike Law.
The strike on the Canadian Orand
Trunk railroad is a fairly good illus
tration of the fact that it will require
something stronger than an optional
arbitration law to prevent industrial
hostilities. Canada's anti-strike . law
haB been put to the test and in this
instance found' wanting. As early as
March the board of investigation be
gan its work and its findings were
satisfactory to the railroad, but not
the employes, who, in spite of the fact
that the government controls the rail
road, struck, and they were entirely
within their legal fights, since the law
does not compel them to agree to the
investigators' reports.
Just one country on the map has
no strikes and that is New Zealand,
which, has a compulsory arbitration
law, but it was believed that Canada's
regulations would be sufficient tj pre
vent BtrikBB. To be sure, this view
so commonly obtained that one of the
strongest American- magazines, a few
days before the Orand Trunk men
struck, Bald, in speaking of the Penn
sylvania road strike: "If this had oc
curred in Canada neither side could
take aggressive measures until the
case had been heard by an impartial
tribunal." And before the ink was
dry on this utterance freight and pas
senger traffic along the Grand Trunk
in the dominion. was paralyzed by a
strike.
In the case of the Grand Trunk it
is not surprising that the board of in
vestlgatlon's report satisfied the rail
road and not the employes, for the
simple reason that the government
manages the railroad and Its officials
making the investigation would nat
urally be predisposed In favor of the
company. But the whole thing goes
to show that this problem of the strike
Is a large and perplexing one, calling
for much more faithful and Impartial
deliberation than has yet been given
it. What is most of all essential Is
an honest, dispassionate purpose of do
ing exact justice on one side as well
as on the other, for the physical force
of organized strength no more than
the power of Intellectuality is on one
side as It Is on the other. The sooner
these facts are frankly recognized, the
sooner we shall reach the proper set
tlement of a question which today
levies a heavy toll upon us all.
American Trade Abroad.
The United States commercial agent
at Buenos Ay res throws an interesting
sidelight upon the matter of American
trade in foreign lands in a report on
the sale of windmills in the Argentine.
Some 12,000 or 15,000 of these pump
ing devices go into that country every
year and the United States supplies
practically all of tbem. As the coun
try is a prairie amply fanned by wind,
the windmill trade, he says, will In
crease rather than decrease, and It fol
lows the sheep and rattle-raising In
dustry there, just as It has done In the
western part of the United States, go
the possibilities of the business are
Immense.
Hut the point this agent makes Is
i
one we nave urgea nerore, namely.
that lu order to hold foreigu trade and!
build it up the American manufacturer
must give more heed to the wants and
peculiar tastes of his foreign custo
mers. This he Is not doing in South
America as consistently as he should,
no more than he Is In Europe or Mex
ico. The result will be, unless a
change comes about soon, a loss of
trade, very naturally.
When our government agents
abroad take the pains to go Into these
matters and report upon them so care
fully merchants and manufacturers at
home ought to heed the advice. The
demand for closer attention on their
part must be urgent or these Amer
icans on the field would not make their
appeals so Insistently. We have be
fore called attention to the fact that
the State department has called home
Its consuls abroad to go among the do
mestic tradesmen and Impress on them
the situation In foreign lauds. This
ought to bring the desired results.
While our balance of trade has been
turned the right way, with exports out
weighing Imports Just now, It is never
theless a fact that our exports could
easily be Increased far above anything
we have attained by more dilligent In
quiry and solicitation abroad. We com
plain when this balance goes against
exports at the vast amount of imports,
but that docs not go to the central
point of the question! keeping down
imports ia not nearly so important as
expandnlng exports and, for that mat
ter, so long as official reports disclose
the fact that our Imports are kept up
largely by the purchase of luxuries
diamonds, art, champagne and other
such things that we really could get
along without, there is no occasion n
alarm as to the balance of trade on
that score alone.
The defense of the double filing bal
lot fraud whereby democratic wets are
to be misbranded on the ticket as pop
ulist drys is that the law permits the
deception. The law permits a lot of
things which still fail to pass muster
aa honest transactions.
