Ohio democrats hurled back at Mr. Bryan his command to. their governor, "Prepare to' stand aside,", and thus goes on the merry song of democratic harmony.

I Those California Indians who burned $2,000 in cash as a sacrifice to the , god ef fire were cheap skates as compared with the Oklahoma reds who burned thousands and thousands as a sacrifice to the land grafters. It is only fair to ask whether the democratic mayor Of Denver and the democratic governor of Colorado, who advocate Roosevelt aa the next pres ident, would have done so had he been the regular republican nominee. These out-of-seakon nominations always come easier. The "Old Guard' must be reckoning without .history if it hopes to nominate Theodore Roosevelt for governor of New York: and then defeat him, thus eliminating him from the arena ot pol ltlcs, - Does anyone so soon forget with what results Tom Piatt sought this same-end through the channel of r win nraaidantlal nomination. ' Roosevelt's Conservation. jl hj difference betw een the Taft and llooseyt It policies Of conrvation no far as there arc differences, seems to be wholly as to the methods of ad ministration. President Taft believes in tho necessity of congressional au- ' Ihnrltv hcfnrn tha PYfTllttv ITinV fie). ' termino the disposition of the public co,onei lieves the president himself may pro- cce( on n!g own authority. But this It not essentially a difference In policy. Both believe alike In the prinicple of conserving natural resources and both believe alike that conservation does not meau denying the use of these resources to the present age. but rather such use of them as will yield present benefits and at the same time store powers for the future. Colonel Roosevelt makes his ad herence to this principle the keynote of his Denver speech, while President Taft has repeatedly committed himself to the same policy. There is no chance, therefore, for an argument as to the attitude of either man toward the fundamental principle of conservation. As to who is right on. the matter of authority, that is something for the future to decide. So long as the people as a whole are firm for conservation, their interests will not suffer. Former President Roosevelt, if not the father of the conservation movement, is at least its chief exponent and during his administration gave, ample evidence of his determination to carry out the system to the best interests of the people and country at large. Presi dent Taft, on the other, hand, has fully Justified his insistence upon con gressional authority before withdraw ing public land. When congress gave him the instruction desired he promptly proceeded to withdraw more than 71,000,000 acres of mineral, agri cultural, timber and phosphate land and land containing valuable power and water sites absolutely keeping faith with the people. In his Judg ment as a careful constitutional law yer, withdrawal of this land without such authority from congress was fraught with some legal doubt. If he should have withdrawn the land arbi trarily and later his view should be proved correct, then a most serious complication would have arisen, for every acre withdrawn and occupied for settlement would be subject to liti gation. , It was not only consistent with his course to have congress define the president's authority, .but it was the only safe preceedure. By his sweep ing withdrawals,' the r president ' has silenced every criticism as ' to his original purposes in advancing argument. - ' this Seidel Makes an Exhibition. The socialist mayor of Milwaukee has ' made an; exhibition poj pftipgplf and his party creed by refusing to join in the welcome to Theodore Roose velt on his visit te that' city because he has taken an "unscholarly and un fair" position on so6lalism. Mayor Seidel had been getting along very well with his public utterances and acts and had begun . to Impress the country as a really sane and sensible man and, in fact, had begun to make friends by some of the rational meas ures he advocated and put Into effect. It seems too bad, therefore, that he should have chosen such a trivial pre text by which to undo much of the good opinion he had gained. . Of course Colonel Roosevelt ' will have no difficulty in obtaining an "of ficial" welcome to Milwaukee, or he might even make an entry into the city without such a welcome If It came to that and In the meantime, while no words of greeting from Mayor Seidel could be expected to alter his views on socialism, it is quite probable that the colonel would have a much higher -regard for both socialism and its militant leader, the mayor of Milwaukee, -had the mayor acted with more broad mindedness. Great men.,; honestly differ, but great men seldom allow honest differences to mar jthelr civic relations. It is impossible for any system of thought these days to buy immunity from criticism, particularly a system that represents so much dogmatism as socialism.. If it were as near infallible as its exponents claim, criticism could not hurt it, even .though It be "unscholarly and unfair" criti cism. ' " The humor of the affair has its climax In Mayor Seidel charging Colonel Roosevelt with being un scholarly. ' Listening to Better Judgment It is reliably reported that railroad officials hare decided not to urge "poverty" as a plea for higher rates, thus making one concession to popular Intelligence. It is- but natural that they have come to, admit the futility of such an argument, with regularly recurring dividends of 8 and 10 per cent to mock them and earnings in still greater ratio. Their original line of attack, therefore, has been com pletely changed and Instead of Insist ing that inability to copo with present high prices of labor and materials makes greater means of revenue im perative, they will offer the more rational plea that increases are de manded to meet necessary expansions and improvements and. even at that will not expect the Interstate Com merce commission to regard it as a self-evident proposition. The change that has come over the railroad men is very marked.' Presi dent Ripley of the Santa Fe, who las been regarded as the most pessimistic of the big officials, has so completely Changed front as to declare before the commission that he believed n raise of wages to the amount of $2,000,000 should uot be considered as an element In the equalizing of rates. Anomalous as the situation seems, it must mean that for once and at last public senti ment and popular intelligence have exercised an effective influence upon the railroad managers and upon the financial Interests back of them,. for undoubtedly these interests are re sponsible for the change of tone on the part of the operators. It is a good in dication. The people have no desire to impose hardships on the railroads and will not tolerate it, but at the 'same time it would never be possible for them and the railroads to get at a real and honest adjustment of rates without first' a frank recognition of things as they exist. If rates should be raised, let the raising be done upon the basis of actual facts and not ficti tious pretense. Omaha'i Amusement Places. The opening in Omaha of another magnificent new theater, the second within six months, probably fills out complement of amusement places for the present. Omaha has for years been rated as a first-class show town, and with the up-to-date facilities for good theatrical entertainments which it now pos sesses, providing at the same time'for the comfort of the theater-going pub lic who make up the audiences, it ought to command the very best con sideration from the purveyors of pop ular amusement. , In addition to the theaters we in Omaha also have our commodious Au ditorium, substantial and fireproof, erected as a public enterprise to an swer the demands that cannot be met by theaters and halls of ordinary size. The Auditorium ought to be utilized more than it haB been. If all these places of amusement were offering entertainment at the same time they would have accommo. datlons for 16,000 people, which is surely all and more than is reasonably to be expected in a city of Omaha's size and location. This unexcelled theatrical equip ment is only further testimony to the progressive spirit which dominates our community. Ozarks Nominate Sherman. Vice President Sherman has been nominated for the presidency by the plain people, although the honor was thrust upon him without his knowl edge or consent. All he did was to go to Marshfield. Mo., a little village nestling neatly In the lap of the Ozark mountains, and before he realized any thing was up he found himself in the delicate position of being a rival for the presidential succession. A fervid orator of the old school who repre sents t the -Osarks in congress Intro duced' the Vice president and before he got his Impassioned eloquence under full control, he had' declared . James Schoolcraft Sherman to be the next president of the United States and then the people let loose a pandemon ium, acclaiming their new chief execu tive. . Mr. Sherman should and doubtless will bear his distinction cautiously Men of his eminence call but Infre quently at Marshfield and the stream of life runs slowly there. A dozen other men may pluck the same honor from that very people before the autumn is gone. Ovations are on tap at Marshfield and a hundred other places in the Ozarks the year round and when the equilibrium is once up set there is no damming the stream of passion this side the White House, It would be Just as well, therefore, for Mr. Sherman to have this nomination confirmed before laying out his plans of campaign. Marshfield, the historian tells us, was once shattered by a tornado, so naturally it would be easily susceptible to the least excitement and should not be held too rigidly accountable for all its acts, in tne meantime we con gratulate the vice president and wish him well. Nationality in Lawlessness. The statistical tables accompanying the report of the chief of police show ing the activity of the police depart ment of Omaha for the year 1909 in clude figures classifying persons ar rested according to nationality and color. The total number of arrests made in Omaha during the year was 9,915, of which 8,500 were men and 1,415 women. Of this number 8,187 were white, 1,677 colored, 16 Indians and 35 Asiatics. Of the 9,915 persons ar rested only 1,642, or about 16 per cent, were foreign born and 8,273 were native born, including among them 1,676 native born colored persons. There is nothing startling in these figures nor anything not disclosed in similar tables for previous years in other cities. They furnish, however. cumulative proof that our foreign-born citizens are not the ones who are chiefly responsible for lawlessness. The foreign-born immigrant as a rule comes to this country as an adult, and it Is the adults mainly to whom the police give attention. The foreign born newcomer is, in the nature of things, unacquainted with our customs and our laws, and more likely to vio late them through ignorance than those who have had better opportuni ties. And yet the number of foreign born listed in the arrests of a cosmo politan city like Omaha is compara tively small, and certainly no greater than the population proportion. The excessive number of colored persons arrested could be explained in part by some mitigating circumstances,, but that there should bo in Omaha more colored persons arrested In one; year than of the foreign born arrested! 'in the same time is of some slg nlflcance. It should be remembered, of course, arrests are not convictions, but approximately the same relative proportion would probably appear in the prison records. It turns out that a large part of the populist ticket nominated in the re cent Nebraska primary Is made up of names separate and distinct from those on the democratic ticket. In the old days or the three-ring political circus there was no trouble in getting the so-called "allied reform forces" fused on a Blngle list of candidates. It remains to be seen whether the ap. petite for pie is as potent under pres ent conditions as formerly, and even if so, whether it will be able to And a way. One Omaha preacher is moved un der the impulse of Ak-Sar-Ben enthusi asm to admit that ministers are some times unable to say in the pulpit what they would say on other occasions. He might hare added with truthfulness that members of the congregation in the pews are often likewise unable to say there what they would like to say were they free from restraint. An Interview with Mr. Bryan at Kal amazoo is going the rounds in which he is said to have Bald, "I will not be a candidate for president in 1912." That is altogether too unconditional for this early date. There must be a sentence omitted which reads, "Unless circumstances make it imperative for me to respond to another call to lead the democratic Jparty." Now, they tell us that the rubber boots for which we pay $4.50 can be bought abroad for 45 cents. Hardly probable, but it would still be the dif ference to live in this country, es pecially since rubber boots are not the prevailing style. Omaha now hat six theaters cater ing regularly to the public and a num ber of other amusement places that will be going more or less of the time. There will be no reason for time hang ing heavy on anyone's hands in Omaha from now on. With the annexation of Korea, jin goes pretend to find a new cause for war between Japan and the United States. They say it will be Japan's failure to satisfy the Koreans, who will then turn to the American government for relief. Bah t .

General Barry recommends that Hawaii be made a separate military command. As that territory Is farther from here than Gibraltar Is from London, there would aeem to be no good reason why the pro posal should not be accepted. The service would be better off for putting a general officer there with adequate powers. Shortening- the Joy Ride. Philadelphia Ledger. New Jersey haa a wholesome and ef fective method of dealing with violator of tha speed and other regulations gov erning automoblllng. The licenses of the offendera are either suspended or can celled altogether. Thla, however, does not go aa far as It might, for there is nothing to prevent the auto owner from hiring a ohauffeur.

Those who consider themselves handi capped in life's race by Inherited tiamet or those conferred at birth by doting parent are at liberty to toss them into the dis card and take on whatever name suits their fancy. So much a New York court declares to be the right of every person. The decision waa rendered by Judge Smith of the city court In sustaining a demurrer In a suit tor breach of promise. The court said: "The code of civil procedure, which authorizes the change ot name, Is not derogatory to the common law. At com mon law a man could change his numr without Intervention of either the sover eign, the courts or ' parliament, end the common law, unlets changed by statute, of course obtains In the United States. A man may lawfully change his name with out resort to legal proceedings, and for all purposes the name thus assumed will constitute his legal namo, just ns much as if he had borne it from birth." Andrew Miller could have hired an auto mobile and had several hours of joy riding yesterday for what It cost him to spank his wife. The fact that It did not cost Miller more than It did was because ho had only 117. Incidentally, the wife got the money. Miller paid It over by order of the court. Magistrate House thereby es tabllxhed a legal rate for spanking. Mrs. Miller told the magistrate that she had her husband's supper all ready for him and It was piping hot. The steak was dpne Just right, the French fried potatoes were crisp end hot, the corn was hot; In fact the meal was about what, a man would expect if he had hired a chef Instead of marrying a girl who made no claims except thnt she wss a good two-handed cook. Mrs. Miller waited long and patiently and then went forth In search of the man of her choice. She says she found him talking polities, flying machines and woman suffrage at a neighboring "gin mill." He came home with her and then decided he would eat. Mrs. Miller offered to warm up the supper, but Miller, she says, repri manded her for daring to permit his meal to get cold. If you can't keep a meal warm for a man, I'll warm you," he Is reported to have said, and then to have laid Mrs. Miller over his lap and applied the spanking. When arraigned Magistrate House heard the case and then decided to fine Miller all he had In favor of the wife. How much money has he?" asked the court. "Seventeen dollars," replied the clerk. "Give It to the wife," said the court. Then turning to Miller, he told him he woud suspend sentence on him, but that he waa not to spank Mrs. Miller any more. "Now don't you give him one cent of that money," said the magistrate to the wife. "Car fare?" asked Miller. "Give him elevated railroad tickets," said a court officer aa he opened the gate for the pair to pass out. The lesson of truthfulness Is being learned in an expensive school by home coming tourists from Europe arriving In New York. - Another woman who concealed her purchases of d reuses and Jewelry has found herself In a tight place. Persuasion by the husband, who met her at the dock on Tuesday and was given the privilege of a private conference with her on learning that she was detained by the custom au thorities, produced the penitential confes sion that she Wad lied.' It Was a tearful and painful ordeal. The humiliation waa regarded as sufficient punishment, so that the woman was allowed to amend her dec lar&tlon, and It seems will escape the pay ment of a fine la addition to the duty. Flora Landon, a quick-witted English girl of 20 summers, has been masquerading as a man in New York City for several months, working successively as an ama teur detective, a grocer's boy and i waller In a Broadway restaurant. With her hair close cropped and still dressed In man's clothing, she Is now under the care of a police matron at her own request. She will don woman's attire today, and will be sent back to her home In England by the next steamship. In Miss Landon's oapaclty as an amateur detective she spent considerable time In the Italian and Chinese quarters, and came near winning a 16,00) reward for the finding ot a kidnaped child. Three years ago, she told a New York magistrate, she left a comfortable home In London and took a steamer to Boston, then coming direct to New York. Her money went quickly and before she realised It she was penniless. She was too proud to write home for aid and got a place as waitress. Her experiences as a waitress were not pleasant nor profitable and she decided to disguise herself as a man. She went to a little store on the Bast Side and bought a complete outfit from shoes to straw hat, cut her own hair and started out to look for a Job as a man. The dis covery of her masquerade came about through tha assignment of a headquarters detective to a minor larceny case In an uptown boarding house. Because the doctor did not put on the seven league boots and start the minute he heard there wss a sick child In the neighborhood he woman who had sum moned him acoused him of Inhumanity. But the doctor said he waa nothing of the kind. "I am not anxious to respond," ha said, "because the parents will not do anything I tell them and will get a doctor mora to their liking later In the day. How do I know? You aa good aa told me yourself. You said tha youngster waa a scientifically reared baby; never knew a kiss or a cud dle or a germ or a tummyache until the present attack. Scientific oables are the despair of old fashioned practitioners. The kind of babies he Is used to are those that depend mostly upon mothering to make them well. If an old fashioned baby bumps his head or stubs hla toe or mashes his thumb Just let mother kiss the bruise and it will stop hurting. Having been brought up on such nonsensical notions and believ ing In tham still to a certain extent there Is no denying that In treating the new style baby the old so le doctor la not a great succecs." The owner and chauffeur of an automo bile running at a reckless speed, which col lided with a vehicle and killed one of Its women occupants, have been held in $25,000 ball and roundly denounced by the coroner for their heartless act In running away and denying their responsibility.
