In denouncing competition as a cut

It is to be seriously hoped no mis

Whtirlt comes to flah stories, that
sixty-pound channel catfish taken out
f the Missouri river at Omaha is a
fcrlse-wtaner, especially when the pho
tographs and affidavits are produced
to prove it.
Exhaustive sclentinc research shows
that the tremor felt In San Francisco
on July 1 was not an earthquake,, and
that the only damage done was in the
exaggerated and alarming reports sent
abroad about' It, .It is natural that
San Francisco, with its matchlets cour
age and undaunted enterprise, ahoald
object to the circulation of statements
calculated to mislead.
Perkins' Panacea.
The country must feel that it is
being highly entertained by its worthy
kings of commerce these days. First
one and then another mount the wit
ness stand before a congressional com
mittee of Investigation or takes to the
public platform to paint a new picture
of politics and business In their mu
tual relation. Judge Gary advocates
such radicalism in the, matter of gov
ernment control of corporations as
would alienee a socialist like Victor
Berger, and then Mr. Carnegie even
outdoes blm, and no sooner has the
Laird of Sklbo passed OS the stage
than out of the wings flits Charles M.
Schwab, and so they come and go.
But "we have with us today"
George V. Perkins, right hand man
of J. P. Morgan & Co., trust-makers
and dealers In monopoly fixtures. Mr.
Perkins does not talk like either Mr.
Carnegie or Judge ary. Whereas
Judge Gary; advocated government
control even to the extent of fling
prlcesand he, Mr. Carnegie and Mr.
Schwab denied that throttling compe
tition could ever be thought of by the
steel or any other large Interests, Mr.
Perkins, In an address to students,
denounces competition as "a. ruthless,
cut-throat method which Is responsi
ble for panics, sweat shops, child labor
and other evils which produce two ex
tremes millionaires and paupers
which means death and destruction to
trade."
The only safeguard, then, against
these dire calamities and misfortunes
enumerated by Mr. Parkins is to de
stroy all competition in business and
turn everything Into a monopoly. The
trouble with the tnyt doctors Is that
no two of them prescribe tho same
remedy.
A Transfer for the Peerless.
A Texas republican writes an up
braiding letter to the San Antonio Ex
press because of its -criticisms of Mr.
Bryan and declares that if the demo
crats no longer want the Peerless
Leader for their guide end philosopher
the republicans will take him and "do
Just what the rank and file of the
democrats have donefollow him."
In the name of the republican party
this Texan not only orders the trans
fer to be made, but guarantees to
have Mr. Bryan elected president as a
republican. Hs describes the distin
guished Nebraskan as the best and
greatest man of bis time, the like of
whom Is not to be found In the
G. O. P.
This is, Indeed, nice, and in behalf
of our friend and neighbor we of Ne-
braska bow in proud acknowledgment
of the compliment. And now let the
ancient adage be paraphrased to read:
"A prophet is not without honor save
In his own political party." . In all
seriousness thjs Texas republican, who
saya he travels all over the land, and
considers himself a good judge of po
litical conditions, adds:
Put Bryan on a rear end train platform
and start him from San Francisco to run
through to Boston'. He would draw three
times the number of people to hear him
Uian any three men hi either party. Not
withstanding almost every mn, woman
and child has seen .him more than once
bfore. Don't think you can crush a man
who has such a hold on the people as that.
It might not be Impertineut to ob
serve tbst Mr. Brysn has gone across
the country several times on the rear
end of, trains, and, as our friend says,
has drawn immense throngs by the
magic of his eloquence, but, as Mr.
Bryan himself later discovered, not all
those who turned out to hear blm
speak voted ,for him. And yet, while
not agreeing with the pro-Bryan Texan
as to the lack of great men In the
republican party, we cannot help but
admit that if Mr. Bryan -should go
across the country as a republican be
might poll more votes than as a dem
ocrat. But how does It come that these
Texans presume to do the giving away
of our own Mr. Bryan? If any of this
Is to be done we guess' it can be done
all right by his home folks at least
some of them are acting as If they
would be very Jealous of the privilege.
Pleating Compliment for a Nebraskan
The selection of General P. H.
Barry to succeed to the vacancy on
the board of managers for the Na
tional Soldiers' homes created by the
death of the late Captain H. 12.
Palmer is a pleasing compliment to
a Nebraskan. While membership in
this board is chiefly honorary, the
competition la open to every part of
the whole United States, and even
though the place was previously held
by a Nebraskan, to award it again to
the same state is unusual. General
"Barry; himself, although exceptional
in being a veteran enlisted politically
with the democrats, has always stood
high as an old soldier and as a citizen,
and this high honor is a fitting climax
to a long and useful career.
Passing it Up. -The
Army and Navy Register calls
attention to the fact that the senate
military committee has taken no ac
tion on the resolution in regard to tbe
establishment of the military divisions
in army administration,, which ar
rangements went Into effect on July 1
by orders of the Wsr department, and
which, as we all know, transferred
from Omaha to Chicago a large part
ot the staff of the military headquar
ters previously maintained here. The
Register continues;
The question has been the subject of a
copious statement on the part of j the War
departtneat and there have been, supple
mental hearings bufofe the senate military
committee of General I-orirl Wood and
General Arthur Murra'y respecting tbe eco.
nomtcal advantages ot the restoration of
the divisions. It la pot expected that there
will be any committee action, certainly not
unless Mr. Hitchcock brings up the sub
ject agalb.
The Bee quotes this because the
subject Is of special Importance to our
business men, and It also tends to sup
port the conclusion previously ex
pressed that our representatives In
Washington were asleep at the switch
when they should hare been awake,
and the train has gotten past them.
William Pierce Frye.
Judged by nny fair test of states
manship. Senator Frye of Maine looms
up as one of the large men of his time.
For forty years he served In congress,
thirty as senator, and few men have
served it as long or as well. Ills
death marks the passing of one of the
last links In that great chain of cause
and effect which, reaching from the
dark days ot reconstruction, bind to
gether in peace and prosperity the
greatest of nations. lie served along
side of bo me of the intellectual Titans
of our history, and served as a leader
from the first. Longer than any
other man, he wielded the power that
goes with president pro tem of the
senate, retaining that position from
1895 until his death.
A conservative . always, Senator
Frye will stand out in history as one
of the strong constitutional statesmen,
of proved ability and integrity. He
lived through all the storms of reform
and experiment without losing his bal
ance In any. He saw leaders of all
political nostrums' come and go, with
out taking up with any of their vaga
ries. He had faith in the fundamen
tals of government. He had faith in
the principle of majority rule. He
believed in the people and in the
power of an articulate public opinion,
and believed that it was not necessary
to overburden the statute books with
new legal theories in order to obtain
necessary results.
He will be missed In the senate for
his steadying Influence, for his wis
dom, his council and his quiet restrain
ing example. It is the caprice of ro
mantic fate that he and his Illustrious
colleague, Senator 'Hale, should have
entered and left the senate practically
together. They are the last of a list
of strong and great men who have
distinguished their state Of Maine at
Washington.
' Harman Comet Back.
And now Clarence E. Harman, seek
ing the democratic nomination tor
state railway commissioner, supposed
to have been knocked out by a solar
plexus blow from "Mike" Harrington,
comes back and lands in several places
on his opponent.
If "Mike" did not know It before,
he Is now given to understand that be
is one of "the self-constituted crowd
of slate-makers," for whom he is
"chief quill driver,"
"Mike's" activity in politica, we are
furthermore informed, has been to
keep a member of his family on the
official payroll.
'Mike" suddenly became "con
verted" from an ardent champion of
county option to an anti-county op
tionlst, Including the task of making
"a coarse attack on Mr. Bryan" at the
Grand Island convention through some
mysterious influence that would not
look well under th searchlight.
"Mike" la a ghoul who reviles a
man "after tbe grave has sealed his
lips."
'Mlke" is indulging in, a "cowardly
hyena-like" performance, 1 -
Moreover, "Mike" Is invited by Mr.
Harman to prove the charges made
against blm before the democratic and
populist state committees, - and let
their verdict be final.
, Time Is called for the third round.
John W. Gates was one of the bold
figures in the financial world that
gave it such commanding power,
whether: in all things he was one of
the most admirable or not. Tbe qual
ities of strength and sagacity are re
flected, however, In a career that be
gan In poverty and ended In almost
countless riches. The homely ele
ments of- Industry and application
were fundamental with him. After
his long train of commercial conquests
he laid aside to an, extent tbe severe
task of hard work and showed the
world that at play, as at work, his was
a conquering genius. Mr. Gates
capped tbe climax of his rather sensa
tional career with his startling testi
mony of tbe inside workings of tbe
Steel trust before the congressional
investigating committee and the Irri
tation, his frank disclosures caused
some of his old rivals was proof
enough that he hit close to the mark.i
Over in Chicago a contract was re
cently made for 1,000 voting ma
chines at 4 cost of nearly $1,000,
000, without even a competitive or
public test. If those Chicago people
would only come over to Omaha they
might learn something to their advan
tage about voting machines and their
operation. '

It is announced that the employes

But tbe announcement does not say

r'allnre of Prohibition to Prohibit.
LOUISVILLE. Ky., Aug. .-To the Edi
tor of The Bee: Recently you printed a.
letter from me showing an Increase "f
over five -gallons In tho per capita con
tumptlon ot liquors In the United Statea
in ten years and In the same time an
enormous increase In the amount of "dry"
territory.
One of your readers lies tried to prove
that the Increase In drinking has been con
fined to license territory and he Implies
that there has been a "great decrease,"
in drinking In "dry" territory. He bases
his argument on the fact that the liquor
tax payments In the largest liquor produc
ing states increased In one year and that
the tax payments In three prohibition
statee decreased In that year. "
As a matter of fact the amount of tax
collections on liquors In "dry" states is
not the measure of liquor consumed In
such states. The bulk of the liquors used
In "dry" states Is tsx paid In " "wet"
states and sent through mall order houses,
although an Immense amount of liquor is
made and sold Illegally and without tax
payment In "dry" states.
In this connection the commissioner of
internal revenue says:
All the agents' force available for raiding
has been used during the year in detecting
illicit distilling, which practice has In
creased steadily, especially In those states
where statewide prohibitory laws have
been enacted.
It la now generally conceded that prohi
bition does not prohibit, but if ttfere be
any lingering doubt let the doubter con
sider the following declaration of the edi
tor of th National Prohibitionist (April a
191U:
The final figures upon liquor consump
tion for the year 1910, published elsewhere
In this paper, may be regarded as definitely
Joking IK-irVVthat som.

Offices Too Oftca Overlooked.
OMAHA. Aug. 7. To the Editor of The
Bee: On th ve of the primaries, and be
fore the election, It Is well for the voters
to consider carefully anions the many can
dldates those for Justice of the peace, police
Judge and constable. Too frequently we do
not wake up until after election. No man
Is a good or worthy citizen who does not
interest himself enough to know who are
proper persona for his support and for the
best interest of the people. And while the
true dtlsen Is considering candidates for
various offices he should not forget those
office which he may think are of little
Importance, but which are of greatest Im
portance to the great mass of the people.
The Justice of the peace, police Judge and
constable -come nearer to the dally life of
the people than any other officer; yet little
attention Is paid to them. There the poor
man's cause Is determined; his rights pro
tected or Jeopardised. It decrees and
Judgments because of his little means and
his Inability to appeal often compels him
to acoept. whether right or wrong. Those
offices should be filled with men of hon
esty and uprightness. We cannot expect
in them men highly versed In legal lore.
A litigant can excuse an error if it be the
honest judgment, but he cannot excuse In
tentional wrongdoing. If these office are
filled with sober and honest men, appeals
to the district court will be lessened and
the calendar there diminished and the ex
pense to the county decreased. Honest and
upright officers who have nothing In view
but the welfare of the people command
respect. Is the candidate honest? Are his
habits good? Is hetiober and at all times
himself? Is his record good? Such candi
dates, and those only, merit the suffrage
of a patriotic citizen. CITIZEN.

New York Times.
That a St. Petersburg newspaper of the
high Btandlng of the Novoe Vremya should
publish an article advising the Russian
government to recognise and honor Amert- i
can passports Issued to Jewish cltlsens is
a matter of some significance', and encour
ages the hope that the Russian policy, of
which we have so long and so Justly com
plained, may within a reasonable time be
changed.
The publication Is significant whether
or not it was Inspired by the government.
The Novoe Vremya Is sometimes spoken of
as a government organ, which naturally
leads to the suggestion that this publica
tion may have been Inspired. If that be
true, It indicates a change of heart on the
part-of the Imperial government. Our De
partment of Htate ha under many admin
istrations, and repeatedly, protested against
the refusal ot the Rusttian government to
permit its representatives to vis passports
presented by American cltlxens of the Jew
ish faith. Our laws permit no discrimina
tion on account of race or religion, and we
could not be exrcte1 patiently to submit
to such a discrimination un the part of a
foreign government professing friendly
sentiments toward our own.
The advice given by the Novoe Vremya
will naturally be construed as an Indlca-J
tlon that our protests have finally had ef
fect. Even if the publication were not of
ficially inspired, it must be Uken as a sign
that enlightened opinion in Bt. Petersburg
opposes the narrow and intolerable policy
of the government In respect to American
passports.

THE FRESH NIGHT AX&.
t. Taul Dispatch.
A well Intentloned friend ot mine
Came blithely up to me.
He had a burden on his heart.
A any on could see.
"I notice you are thin and lean
And srared with, worldly care;
Whv don't you sleep out on the porch.
And breathe the fresh night alrJ"
And so I slept out on the porch
As you can plainly see
And If you contemplate the same.
Oh pray you look at me!
An hour or two I gaxed on high
Kntaptured by a star.
Then slumbered Just In tlm to b
Awakened by a car.
Again I doreJ a wink or two.
Then awakened with a start.
A drunken man waa asking me
"Where i tho water cart?"
And Just a T dropped off again
To dream of pumpkin plea.
Next door some serenaders ng,
"Drink to mo with thin eyes."
Thev quit at S a. m. and I
Sighed "That's the last of that"
Alas! my trutlng, guilelees heart
Had quit forgot th oat.
At 4 a. m. tho un aroeo l" .
And smote my dreaming bean.
He sat down on the poruh with en ,
And tickled up my aplean. . .
Th leoman cam at 6 a. nv
And told me It ww hot ' A
And said the breweries all might fall
By noon aa like a not. ;
At the youngster bounded out
And asked ni bow I felt;
I grabbed a loose suspender HQ
Xnd walloped him a welt.
And her I sit with pent up wraasi
And murder In my heart: ""
If one I meet that outdoor guy;
He'll need a ten-mtle start.
