Mr, Bryan has postponed the an nouncement of Champ Clark as his favorite candidate, pending Clark's conversion to free wool. The Baltimore American says the civic spirit of that city has received a dose of ginger.' Now mix with a little mustard and you will have It.' Although not at all disposed to turn socialist, since the socialists must hold their meetings somewhere, they ar welcome to Omaha. Those Kansas City women boot blacks had to close their places of business for lack of trade, which Is a distinct tribute to the men of Kansas City. . j The severe old doctrine of total de pravity might have more latter-day followers If the legislatures of Ohio and Illinois remained in session the year round. , The scene of war shifts from the Mexican boundary to the democratic councils at Washington, with old Colonel Bryan leading the attack on the home guard. The Laird of Sklbo, It may be noted, sailed for Europe about the time John W. Gates took the witness stand In that congressional investigation Into the Steel trust. In the award of the new State Agrl cultural schoel location to the last en try in the competition, we have an other striking exception to the rule about the early bird catching the worm. It is a tight race between Detectives Burns and Plnkerton. Burns scored a long lead in his dynamite case, only to be overtaken by Plnkerton being railed to help guard London during the coronation. .... 1 When rongresa begins its Investiga tlon. of the weather department Omaha base ball fans will gladly tea tify that it has rained every Sunday the team has been scheduled to play at home this season. Safe and Sane Decoration Day? Only one man was killed outright at the Indianapolis auto speedway on Decoration day. True, half a dozen were injured, some probably fntally, but reports say the races were signally successful. They must have been, to judge from this thrilling flash of the climax: The cars heimn to cast their tire, burned out by the fierce grind over the fppedway's brick pavement. Steering friars began to givo way. Dlrtctly In front of the grand stand Joe JagerburKcr's Case car got away from litm and swltohed back and forth across the track. Wood, the mech anician, leaped out and fell, and the car passed ovt him. He lay In a path of death, for other cars were running upon him. All swerved safely by as he rose and rtaggrred to the track side, with the ex ception of Harry Knight's Westcott, which plunged to the Inner fence, threw out Knight and Glover and careened against Herbert Lytle's Apperscn, turning It over. A fccrcum from a woman when the race wus half over faced the crowd In the grandstand toward the north end nf the home stretch. Louis Disbrow's Pope-Hartford had thrown a tire and swerved In front of Tetxlaffs Loisler. A collision fol lowed, In which the rear wheels of VU brow's car were torn off and the Lozler turned turtle. Tetzlaffs mechanician was caimht under the car and his leg broken. The roar of the .motors, belching flame and smoke from the exhausts and the con tinuous cheering c.f the multltudo In the grandstands and bleachers was deafening aa the race grew Into Its last hundred miles. An overwrought woman In a box fainted and fell from her chair and the Incident almost caused a panic in the ner vous crowd. Hysterical screams of women In the southern grandstand when Burman's Bern cast a tire Over the retaining wall were heard above the deeper roar of the grandstand and bleachers. The old soldiers, whose ranks are thinning fast, have but a single plea to make for Decoration day that It shall be the one day 6f the year for their celebration and that it shall not bo desecrated by other demonstra tions. But surely they would not call such sacrifice of life as this dese cration. Nor this (from the press dispatches): "Harroun (the winner) was followed by a delighted mob" at the finish, down the path where grim death had stalked before him. What of the dead? On with the dance. Let joy be unconfined. Is it not about time the effort was divided between th safe and sane Fourth and a safe and sane Decoration day? Society on the Farm. Some Chicago society women are taking to the fad of farming. Out on the wide-spreading acres of the North Shore and the fertile uplands of Oak Park they are getting close to nature by way of the soli. Some of them are raising violets, others cabbage and cu cumbers, while yet others are pursu ing the most novel of all fashions milking cows, or doing a little refined dairying of their own. Then some take to poultry raising and fruit cul ture. Society, sometimes, hits upon sensi ble fads. In this case the example seems to have been set by Mrs. Bel mont's Long Island suffragette farm, where only maids may sow and reap, and not even is mere man permitted the privilege of the premises. Wherever the Idea came from, it is a wholesome fad. It enables the fair ones to get a lot of out-door exercise. which will add to their beauty and strength, though, of course, a more pragmatic purpose underlies Mrs. Bel mont's scheme. She proposes this as another way of demonstrating woman's Independence and, in a gen eral way, of stimulating the enter prise of Buffragetteism. But in any event society farming is not to be too loudly touted for its Plebelanism. It requires a little of the substance that Plebeians do not, as a rule, possess in sufficient quanti ties, and therefore It Is quite Patrlclan-like. A neat little fund in the bank is needed to pursue the call ing with anything like style and con sistency. Society having the fund, we shall see whether the fad becomes a really popular one or not. False Prophets of Peace. A good many people, doubtless, will take exception to much that Colonel Roosevelt said on Decoration- day about peace and arbitration, but When his words are carefully studied by the light of calm reason they reflect mighty good common sense. It seems to us that it was a speech that needed very much to be made at this time and Decoration day and Grant's tomb af forded an excellent occasion and place for making It. The colonel denounced "false proph ets of peace." He declared that "un righteous peace is a greater evil than war." He asserted his belief in "na tional and International peace, but only as the hand-maiden of justice." He wanted peace with every nation, but not at the expense of "our self respect." He said he believed In arbi tration "only on the understanding that international slapping of faces la not included." What is there to any of this that need offend the cause of world neaca or arbitration? What part of it cannot the real friends of peace approve? No body will deny, surely, the possibility of such a thing as unrighteous peace. Lincoln, as much as he loved peace and dreaded war, thought1! so. We know there are false prophets of peace, just as there are in all things human. Who would object to condemning them? And no. nation can afford to buy peace with Injustice or forfeiture of self-respect. This movement for world peace.'we feel sure, is going on, and in time human nature may reach that stage where even universal disarmament may become possible. But it is not yet here. So it is folly to say that main taining formidable resources of of- fense and defense is provocative of war, when it would be inviting trouble not to maintain them. Colonel Roosevelt was just the man to make this speech, for no other man has done more for actual peace, as witness the Portsmouth treaty. He is able, therefore, to apply his eplgram matkal rule to his own case. "Words are good, and only so when backed by deeds." .Blood on the Moon. And the plot thickens. "Aroused by William J. Bryan's attack on demo crats who favor a raw wool tariff, Democratic Leader Underwood made a statement tonight declaring Mr. Bry an's attitude nujust and unfair." Evidently, there is blood on the moon in the camp of the democracy. It may be easier now to guess why Mr. Bryan decided to withhold his an nouncement of Champ Clark as bis preferred candidate for the presidency. But what is democracy coming to, anyway, when its official leaders openly defy the oracle of their faith? In Texas the Baileyites denounce him. In Ohio Harmon refused to "stand aside." In his own Nebraska, life-long "home folks" drive him out of their state convention, while down at Wash ington a recalcitrant senate rejects his choice of leader and now a heretofore meekly submissive house floor-leader and speaker spurn his dictation. As Grover Cleveland used to say, "Truly we have fallen upon evil times." Is this a systematic plan to side-track Mr. Bryan? In times past the Clarks and Underwoods have simply walked up, hat in hand, taken their orders and meekly complied with them. Now, they not only refuse to walk up, but decline the orders when they are thrust at -them. But Mr. Bryan is not yet eliminated. He laughs best who laughs last. For the Good of the Service. Down at Lincoln one member of the Public Library board has Just re signed, explaining his voluntary re tirement with the unique reason, "for the good of the service," as set forth In his letter to the city council, as follows: For the good of the service, the under signed respectfully tenders his resignation as a member of the city library board. My relations with the board have been uni formly pleasant and this resignation Is tendered solely because I have not the time to devote to the work of the library which lt Importance merits. Membership on that board should belong to citizens whose time la their own and who have leisure to de vote to its multifarious duties. I have felt all along that the work I have been able to perform has hardly roqulted the city for the honor which the council conferred upon me in my selection for the place. The library board expends approximately $10,030 a year of the people's money, and those who administer the funds should be persons who have time and Inclination to look Into every Item of expenditure care fully and procure the moat and best that can be had for the money. Without even considering whether true lnJ this particular case, ot In any other particular case, the good of the service . would certainly be promoted by retirement of officials who cannot give the public business the attention needed. Not that a position of honor and responsibility like membership in the library board or in a school board should be reserved exclusively for re tired capitalists, or people of Inde pendent means with their time fully at their own disposal, but that who ever accepts office should understand what is expected of him and be able and willing to measure up require ments, even though to do so he must sacrifice his leisure hours and incon venience himself in many ways. .- The man who wants to wear the badge of honor for dress parade without doing the work has no place in the public service. Moribund A few years ago our law-makers decided to Institute a reform that would consecrate Decoration day In Nebraska to the veterans of the wars and to no others. A statute was, therefore, enacted, whfch declares: Any person or persons who shall, on the 30th day of May, commonly known aa Decoration day, engage In horse racing, ball playing or In any other game of sport which may tend to disturb the publlo peace on the 80th day of May shall be guilty of a mlsdameanor, and shall be pun ished by a fine not exceeding $100 or be Imprisoned for not more than thirty days, In the discretion of the court. Reading the accounts of Decoration day doings prompt the question whether this law is a dead letter or only moribund. Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr., has modified his statement that he would rather himself lose out for re-election in Oregon than see Senator Norrls Brown retired in Nebraska. He evi dently expected Senator Brown to re ciprocate the kindly sentiment, only to be sadly disappointed that no such Damon and Pythias proffer was forth coming. It is to be noted that our new dem ocratic senator from Nebraska got away from his party caucus far enough to offer a half-and-half amendment to the caucus resolution for the Lorlmer investigating committee, but not far enough away to vote for the La Fol lette resolution, which is the real thing. There are other kinks In the new Nebraska primary law besides that surrounding the state platform con vention. It might not be a bad idea for the state organizations of the political parties to charge a joint com mittee of lawyers to Investigate and report where we are at. Although 'Alma failed to land the Agricultural school, for which the leg islature appropriated $100,000, It still has ex-Governor Shallenberger and bis senatorial boom, whose expansion will take up all the unoccupied space there. There In no more harmony (In the repiih- i llcan party In either house or senate) than In a Chinese orchrstra. World-Herald. What kind of an aggregation of dis cordant musicians, then, does the democratic party in the house and senate resemble? If Champ Clark thinks he can favor a tariff on wool and continue to re main the preferred choice of Mr. Bryan for the 1912 presidential nomi nation, he is entitled to another guess. Having busted the Standard OH and the Tobacco trusts, it only remains to explode the express monopoly, the Lumber trust, the Steel trust and a few dczen others to Complete the job. If the Mexican revolution. cost $20, 000,000 and Joe Carroll, the Omaha soldier of fortune, received $10.80 for four months' service, who got the other $19,999,989.20? Panitrruni to Play With.

Early Homaneinir In Air. New York Tribune. Future historians of aviation will prob ably dismiss as mere tradition the tales told by Vedrlne and Glbert of their en counters with eagles in midair on the way rVrom Paris to Madrid.

The esteemed Commoner says "Mr. Bryan will do his part." The equally esteemed Washington Post wonders if a final "y" was not omitted accidentally from the last word, and the valued New York Evening Sun, admitting the correctness of the criticism, suggests that a final "g" may have been omitted from the fourth word. As a working hypothesis, it is safe to as sume that Mr. Bryan will stand by his proofreader. UNSATISFIED LAM) HUNGER, v.. Miniature 8tamprtle. at an Opening: In Utah. ' . "Bt; Louis Republic. About 40.000 acres of land in Millard county, Utah, lately restored to the public domain, were opened for entry- under the homestead act last Tuesday. The "rushes" of that old days followed the Opening of Indian reservations to set tlement are; said U have been duplicated In mlnlatur in the eagerness of would-be settler t'a jibtarri .some of .these lands. It Is declared tli at more than half the re quests tor 'application blanks came from persons ' whose residence was outside of Utah.' One party of fifty-two journeyed from California in the .hope of getting a share of the farms. Of course, there are still hundreds of thousands ef acres In the publlo domain, but the quality of a great deal of it is unknown. In the case of these Utah lands It was well understood that they were lo cated in a most promising agricultural district and the circumstances that 40,000 acres of heretofore unavailable lands were to be thrown open to entry at one time attracted attention throughout the west. The scenes attending the distribution of the farms in this tract, situated about 130 miles from Salt Lake City, near the Fill more, forest reserve, are interesting be cause in the nature of things such "rushes" even on a small scale, must take place with greater and still greater Infrequency In the future. Also they bIiow how far the land hunger still is from being satisfied.

Some conscienceless Joker handed one to the democratic rustics who are sreuthlng around the departments for "disclosures'' and campaign material. A straight tip was passed to a congressional committee that riotous extravagance was the rule In the Tostofflee department, culminating In scandalous extravagance In furnishing the office of Postmaster General Hitchcock particularly "the Installing of the cost liest bathroom In Washington." The dem ocratic sleuths' were on the Job In half an hour. Mr. Weed, the chief clerk, was asked about It with an air which clearly Indicated that the committee believed it had un earthed a scandal of large proportions. "The postmaster general has no bathroom at all," calmly replied Mr Weed. "1 guess you were thinking of the bathroom at the house end of the capltol." One frightful discovery was made, however. Mr. Weed admitted that the mahogany waste basket ordered to match the furniture of the post master general's room cost tX. The com mittee fairly gasped, and one member ex claimed: "Well, I swan!" Mr. Weed told the committee also that Mr. ilitchcock had spent about $4,000 treavellng over the coun try on an inspection tour of postoffices, and had not charged his expenses to the government a piece of Information which the committee hardly welcomed. Justice Harlan Is familiarly described in Washington by those who know him as "a good old scout." He enjoys life, haa a keen sense of humor and possesses a strong and attractive personality. He has enjoyed playing golf until the last few years, when his age has been somewhat ot a handicap. It is told of Justice Harlan that one day he was playing a match with a noted Washington preacher, relates the "Brook lyn Eagle. The preacher was not an expert at the game, and his temper was sorely tried over the fact that he plowed up the turf almost every time he swung at the ball. Finally In desperation he made a particularly vicious swipe and smashed his club. For a full half minute the preacher stood looking at the wreck ha had caused. Justice Harlan waited patiently until the dominie finally glanced at him and then be remarked solemnly: "loctor, that Is the most profane silence I ever listened to." There Is another golf story about the Justice that is not so well authenticated. It tells how he was playing one day with a friend who was noted for making long drives. This man found a cow In his path, but, not daunted by the obstacle, drove his ball with great force in the direction he wanted It to go. The ball landed in the cow's mouth. Straightway the judge's friend chased (he cow. The startled animal turned tail and ran, still carrying the ball. Her pursuer began belaboring her with his club aa the pair went racing over the links. Finally the cow, on reaching a putting tfreen, dropped the ball. It landed in a good position and the golfer holed out in one stroke. Justice Harlan followed In leisurely fashion and made It In eight strokes, claiming the hole. "But I made It In two," exclaimed his friend. "Two nothing," said the judge. "You mean thirty-two. I was watching you and every time you hit the cow counts a stroke." Senator Heyburn of Idaho Is the most persistent and annoying objector in the senate. He does not like departures from the established order. of things. During his Bpeech on direct election of senators, ha had ' a number of clashes with his col league. Senator Borah, and whenever he alluded to the latter did not fall to call him "the Junior senator from Idaho," with the accent on the Junior. Heyburn thinks that the present method of electing sen ators by legislatures, rather than by pop ular vote, Is Just about right. In this connection it Is Interesting to noTe that when he ran for congress out In Idaho in 18K8 he was defeated. As Idaho has only one representative, the election was statewide. Heyburn was beaten by Ed gar Wilson, a silver republican, by more than 4,000 votes, although he ran on the regular republican ticket. Four years later Idaho sent a regular republican to con gress by a majority of 7,7x1 over all his competitors. The same man, Burton L. French, came back to the present congress with a majority of about 10,000. Senator Heyburn, while defeated by the people for congress, was elected to the senate by the legislature of hla state and subsequently re-elected. William Stewart Reyburn, son of the mayor of Philadelphia, recently elected to fill a vacancy in the Second congressional district, is the baby member of the house of representatives. He Is 27. The next youngest member Is William F. Murray of Massachusetts, who Is going on 80. His senior by nine days Is Byron P. Harrison of Gulfport, Miss., who was elected a dis trict attorney at the age of 24, and after serving two terms in that position was elected to congress last fall. He is a product of the primaries, having been nominated over two strong fellow democrats whom he led by LbOO votes. The fourth of tender political years Is Sydney Anderson of Lanesboro, Minn., who Is 30. Robert J. Bulkley of Cleveland, O., Is about thirteen months older than Mur ray. They were students at Harvard at the same time, though Bulkley was a Junior when Murray was a freaiiman. He also received the degree of master of arts from his alma mater, but obtained his legal education in Cleveland. Thomas E. Konop of Kewaunee, Wis., Is only 21 and a self-made man. He had to struggle for an education and did not receive his law degree from the University of Nebraska until he was 25, but has served two terms a ii ulet attorney. Is married and is the lather of four children. The seventh young est of the new representatives la Claudius Ulysses Stone and the third of those men tioned with a Spanish war record, Murray and Anderson balng the other two. Two of the seven are Harvard men; Reyburn la a graduate of Tale, and the Universities of Minnesota, Kab.-a.Bka and Louisiana claim one each. A Plpelnl. Kansas City Star.
