Missouri republicans tr. drafting
their atate platform have come out
squarely for Presldeu Taft, endorsing
liia administration without equivoca
tion, tariff Jaw aad all. They have
et a good example for other repub
lican atate platform-makers.
It la the only thing to do. No
evasive course, no lukewarm, half
way endorsement can be. expected to
n(,pfr confidence or achieve victory
rer tost matter, no sucn aiiuuae ir
either right or consistent on the part
of republicans.. There Is notblog In
tbe Taft administration that 8 repub
lican state convention should hesitate
to endorse and advocate. There is
nothing in it that conflicts with the
fundamental doctrines of republican
ism. It is sfn administration of works,
not words. It is an administration of
plain, simple business for the country,
done in a direct and business-like man
ner. It is the first admnlstratlon in
history to go so far in keeping pledge
by pledge made to the people before
election.
We believe the Missouri republicans
will gain by their candid action. We
believe other republicans who follow
their example will win. Nothing is
to be gained by compromise; there Is
neither room nor reason In compro
mise with the democrats this year. They
have everything to gatn and nothing
to lose. Their whole campaign must
rest upon a tissue of empty promises
and the hope of republican dissension.
Let republicans close ranks and tbe
democratic hopes are gone. And this
Is the year, above all, to close ranks.
Missouri has shown the way, let others
follow.
Four of a Kind.
Four favorite sons have thus far
been entered in the democratic free-for-all
presidential race nearly two
years In advance. Ohio has its Har
mon, Texas has Its Bailey, Georgia its
Smith, Missouri Its Folk. And 'still'
there are more to come. New York
la sure to bring out Gaynor, Indiana
may project Marshall, New Jersey is
likely to back Woodrow Wilson,' should
he win for governor, and Illinois,
if it can split its affection between
Carter Harrison and J. Ham Lewis,
may get In the race for old-tlmeg sake-.
Besides all these, Missouri, should
David R. , Francis win out, for senator,
Is likely to have two favorite son can
didates. "
It is of Interest to note these facts
Just now while democrats are talking
about harmony. But why talk, do not
these facts speak for themselves? Is
there need for anyone to argue that
harmony reigns with this array Of am
bitious favorite sons before him?
And the national campaign la yet
two years off. How many candidates
there will be by 1912 is beyond the
ken of any man to determine. If the
leaven of harmony keeps up Its work
it may raise a score of them. - But
should the number of entries be kept
down to the, present there would be
enough to make an interesting race.
Say, for instance, that only Harmon,
Bailey, Smith, Folk and Gaynor en
tered the preliminaries for the homl'
nation; there is one eastern man, Gay'
nor; two middle western men, Harmon
ana poik, ana mree soutnern men,
Folk, Smith and Bailey. Where Is
tbe seer who would like to undertake
tne tasK or forecasting me result or
figuring out the alignment between
the five aspirants?
Harmony, Indeed! And thus early
In the campaign, too. No wonder
democratic editors and orators are
anxious to divert attention to the re
publicans. Cuba and Porto Sico.
One of the big problems for the
next generation in Cuba and Porto
Rico is that of. education. While
tremendous progress has been made
along this line since American occu
pation of the islands in 1899, illiteracy
Is still rampant. . Less than half the
Cubans eligible to vote can read or
write and among the non-citizens
Illiteracy Is even more pronounced, lu
Porto Klco the situation is even worse.
ICighty-three per cent of the popula
tion la illiterate. .
But these figures are not nearly as
bad as were those that confronted the
United States when it took hold of
these two countries. The 83 per cent
of illiterate in Porto Rico Is being
rapidly reduced by means of a splen
did system of education maintained
by the United States government and
in Cuba similar progress is going on.
The populations of the two countries
show great improvement. In 1899.
when Cuba passed from the Spaulsh
regime to federal control, It had a pop
ulation of 1.572.797 aud in 1907, after
eight years of American influence, it
had 2.048.980. a gain of 30.3 per cent.
This is a vast increase as compared
with some years under Spanish rule.
when the population actually showed
a falling off.
To show wbat remarkable progress
education has made in that time, 31.6
per cent of the Cuban children attend
school today, or did in 1907, while la
1899 the percentage was only 1 5.7 per
cent. In the larger urban centers to
day the percentage Is as high as 50.
Cuba has an area of 44,164 square
miles and Porto Rico only 4,320
square miles. Porto Rico's population
ta 1.000,000. It is far more con
gested, therefore, than Cuba and pre
sents, perhaps, greater difficulties in
the way of sanitation, as well as cul
ture of the people In schools, but noth
ing in the condition of either cof,ry
Is sufficient to daunt the determined
spirit with which the American gov
ernment is pursuing its duty and it
that in tbe next
stands to reason
t.ead It will have even greater prog-
rcss to show for Its unselfish labors.
Compact City Government.
The bekt answer New York can
make to much ill-founded criticism la
the army of 70,513 which marched
on Monday to its public schools," says
the New York World. New York, like
other cities, has its "home knockers,"
to borrow from base ball parlance.
But this Is, Indeed, a good answer. It
would be little wonder If a city of
nearly 6,000,000 population, compris
ing 309 square miles, did not lack
some feature of perfection In Its pub
lic school system as well as other
branches of city government.
The World cites, however, that
among other advantages, in addition
to tbe schools themselves, the children
who attend them have the benefit of
free medical treatment, both as to
physicians and professional nurses;
special lecturers, libraries, play
attendants, baths, laboratories, assem
bly halls and a few other Institutions
calculated to promote mental, moral
and physical well-being. The idealist,
of course, could sit down and think up
a lot more things the children ought
to have, but the World Is reasonably
safe in submitting that these are a
few.
It Is a wonderful city government
and a wonderful school system that
offers such advantages to the children.
Tbe thought that must occur to care
ful minds is that such systematic ad
vantages come through thorough or
ganization and can come through no
other channel. The component parts
of Greater New York, counting Man
hattan In the list, did not hold out
these advantages to their respective
school children. They are the pro
ducts of Greater New York, the fruits
of a .compact city government. They
constitute a powerful argument for
the centralization of municipal gov
ernment. Consolidation brings its
train of problems, to be sare, yet con
solidation is the principle of city gov
ernment today. It is tbe modern
method and It has long ago passed the
experimental stage.
'Clean Them Up.
. .The first step In the matter of re
forming the Omaha milk supply has
been taken. Tbe city council has
ended the era of divided responsibility
and has put the matter of regulating
the dairies in the hands of the health
commissioner. This official will now
be required to see to it that the terri
ble conditions in East Omaha and
other places be remedied.
The dairymen themselves are not
entirely to blame for the situation in
East Omaha. The city authorltiea of
both Omaha and Council Bluffs, who
have joint jurisdiction over that sec
tlon and who Jointly neglect it, are
more to blame than anyone else, be
cause certain practices that outrage
decency are permitted over there. Pub
lic meetings and newspaper outcry will
be of little avail unless the authorities
lend their assistance by service. It
matters not under the circumstances
the conditions that menace public
health were permitted to develop. The
question now Is, How they can be
quickest removed?
The health commissoner should
have no hesitancy in going about bis
task and should be supported in his
efforts, because the work Is for all.
The dirty spots around Omaha should
be cleaned up.
The Nebraska State Fire Prevention
association is an organization working
along right lines. The annual loss
through preventable fires Is a sum so
stupendous as to make our waste in
other directions seem Insignificant,
and a move for the conservation of
property in use Is really of deeper in
terest to tbe public than the work for
the conservation of natural resources.
That it has been neglected so long Is
not especially complimentary to the
American people. But It has new been
taken up In a practical way and should
be vigorously pushed.
The Methodist practice of saying
"God speed" to the departing pastor
while they are holding out the glad
hand of welcome to his successor Is a
most cheerful sign and certainly
lessens the pangs of parting. Many
outside of tbe church regret to see Dr.
Loveland leave the city, because of his
general activity in the cause of hu
manity rtgardless of church affllla
tlons. and will follow him with genu
Ine interest In his new field. .
The sale of the Lincoln Star doea
not come as an especial surprise, for it
had been known for a long time that
Mr. Thompson was willing to dispose
of his interests In the newspaper and
that Mr. Edgar was not happy in the
Lincoln field. The new owners of the
Star are both acquainted in Lincoln
and Nebraska and will undoubtedly be
able to serve their patrons in a most
satisfactory way. The Bee bids them
welcome to the field.
Light on the inside on the methods
of railroad rate-making seems to indi
cate that the proposed law not to per
mit pooling is unnecessary. The
roads simply agree among themselves
on what tbey will charge for the serv
ice and then the shipper may take his
choice as to which ope to patronize.
This obviates the necessity of pooling,
and with no danger of discrimination.
The coming of Cardinal Vannutelll
for a visit to Omaha will give our ritl
xens, irrespective of creed, an oppor
tunity to pay their respects to an emi
nent leader in the Christian church.
The visit of the cardinal is a distinct
compliment, and as such ahould be
properly noted
Mr. Armour insists that by exerting
every device known to strenuous finan
ciers the packers can scarcely make a
profit. We had suspected that all
along as the reason they staid In busi
ness and continued to build new
plants.
I
The Missouri republicans in their
platform have declared for home rule
in municipal government, a plank
which every state without It ought to
have. It is the one thing above all
others that Omaha needs.

The announcement of a new list of
cadet officers at the Omaha High
school will be taken by Uncle Sam as
notice that the supply of military ma
terial is not going to run short in
Nebraska.
Things are going along more nat
urally now in St. Louis. That city has
learned officially that it Is still larger
than Boston, ranking fourth in popula
tion of American cities.
The burning question of the hour in
Boston is, whether Dickens' first works
were circulated in America at a lose or
profit. Boston is forever springing
something new.

RAILROAD PROFIT.
Aaalysla af New Yark Centrales Ad
vertised Ararameat.
New York Financial World.
The New TorV. Central haa adopted ad
vertising as ,the? quickest means to win
advocates among the public to Its right to
Increase transportation charges. The
method Is a to one, provided the facts
submitted are convincing. But are the
facts presented by. this great system of
that tenor? That, la debateable; very much
so. According to the New York Central,
out of every dollar it takes in there is
paid out 40 oenttf for labor, 32 cents for
supplies and 28 cents to pay taxes. Inter
est and all elsa, There is then left a net
profit of 10 cents out of each dollar for
the shareholders. This the-sNew Yors
Central contends is an insufficient profit
for a property wnlch pays out so great a
part of ita income for labor and supplies,
and whose procperitv directly affects a
very larpe portion of the people over a
large part of the country;
Thoughtful business men, on whone wel
fare the railroad depends for Its prosper
ity, since they are dependent in great part
on quick transportation facilities, as they
revolve in their own minds the statistics
presented to them by the New York Cen
tral, are not likely to consider its 10 per
cent margin of profit as small. It Is not
small. Hosts of business men are tat
lafied with a less profit above all their
expenses. In fact there are many bul
nesaes for which contracts are taken on a
margin of 10 per cent, from which margin
all expenses moot be deducted. These en
terprises seem to be prosperous. The New
York Central's argument Is weak, and will
not strengthen Ita case before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

Pawnee Republican: No republican who

by his negligence In voting, a democratic

Kearney Hub: 'Talk about the prince et
peaee," said a Lincoln democrat who was
formerly an admirer of Bryan, -hell! he's

of course, but naturally born of the gen

course in dividing fhe democratic bouse
against itself.
Grand Island Independent: W. J. Bryan
wants ex-President Rooeavelt to make a
speech in Wisconsin for La Follette. Mr.
Bryan's "regularity" beats anything In that

It 4s but natural that he would like "Ir

Alliance Herald: A Boons county man

the editor of the Tork News suggests that
It might be well for the good man to loae

quility be disturbed by the signs of return

Central City Nonpareil: W. J. Bryan
would have Theodore Roosevelt prove that
he is a sincere progressive by going to

"Twenty-five' cents," said the grocer, "for

MAYOR GAYKOR NEARLY WELL.
Kew York's Esecatlva Coat valeaelaia
Finely.
New York limes.
Mayor Gaynor is rapidly getting wall.
He lias walked six miles since going to St.
James for his convalescence. He did so
on one cool day last week, and seemed to
enjoy It. And he walked four miles on
Monday (September 61, when It was very
hot. It came near hurting him seriously
and he haa not recovered yet from the
over strain. But to all appearances h is
making fine progress toward recovery.
He has, In fact, changed some la ap
pearance, though this la perhaps because
since the shooting his beard has taken a
different shape. Normally, the mayor
wears his beard trimmed close to the sides,
giving It and his side face a stralght-up
end-down appearance. Since his illness,
lowever, his whlskera have grown out full
on ench aide except under the Jaw. where
the wound is, changing the appearance of
face perhaps more than one would Imagine,
a detail of which would disappear after
fifteen minutes In a barber's chair.
But Mayor Gaynor looked brown and
ruddy, and this description of lilm is not
overdrawn. His cheeks are full fuller,
members of the family say, than before he
was shot The mayor, by the way, does not
refer to himself as being "shot" To those
who with whom he baa spoken of the in-
i jury, ana mey ar noi many, ne says,
"when 1 was hurt.
Thar have been many reports About the
mayor's voice. In splta of his doctor's ad
monitions he must have epoken several
hundred words in the presence of the
Times reporter. There was no lisp or ap
parent difficulty, as has been reported, In
hit enunciation of words beginning with an
"a." His voice Is low. He has, as far as
his fiicnds recall, always been low spoken.
But his enunciation wss as clear and his
speech as unhesitating ss that of any man;
in normal condition. Mrs. Gaynor remarked
after the mayor had sped away that there
wns no trutli in the reports regarding his
inability to speak plainly except for the
short period In which his throat was
swollen. 1
Mayor Gaynor wears no bandage over
the wound In his throat, not even so much
as a bit of absorbent cotton and plaster.
The wound is apparently entirelv healed
and the appearance normal, except thai
spangled out from the place where the bul
let entered the flesh are star-shaped points
which sppesr dark blue.

Thomas Hardy In the Spectator.
Come again to the place
Where your presence was as a waft that
skims
Down a drouthy way whose ascent be
dims The bloom on the farer's fsce.
Come again, with the feet
That were IlKht on the lawn as a thistle
down ball.
And those mute ministrations to one and
to all.
Beyond the tongue's saying sweet. f
I'ntil then the faint scent
Of the bordering flowers swam unheeded
away, i
And I marked not the charm In th
changes of day .
As the cloud-shadows came and went.
Through the luak corridors
Tour walk was so soundless I did not
know
Tour form from a phnntom's of lonsj
Said to glide on the ancient floors,
Till vou drew from the shade.
And I saw the -great luminous living eyea.
Regard me In floced Inqulrlng-wlse,
F.even as though of a soul that weighed
Scarce consciously
The eternal question of what Life was.
And when we were there, and what sttd,

If you fill valuable advertising space
with generalities and expect It to yield
or wiue experience in mercnanaising

readers who want to know what you

If you believe, as Tbe Bee does, that
good advertising copy will help you
