Hearst Diverging from Bryan.
Borne months ago Mr. Hearst and
Mr. Bryan, with other leading demo
crats, held a quiet coneference in
Washington, the purport of which
was, so reports announced, an agree
ment on the availability of Champ
Clark as the party's preferred candl-
date. At that time Chairman Un
derwood of the ways and means com
mlttee was not even remotely
thought of In connection with the
nomination, nor did such a thought
seem to occur to anyone until
Mr. Bryan, unable to secure Mr.
Underwood's ready obedience in the
house, publicly began to attack him
as an undesirable man to have near
the head of the democratic column
From that time on Underwood's
stock has been going up. It may be
fictitiously Inflated, but nevertheless
it rises.
Mr. Hearst, though with Mr. Bryan
in blacklisting Governor Harmon
has come out boldly in an interview
fith W. T. Stead In London and
published broadcast in the Hearst
papers, advocating Oscar Underwood
as one of the 'two men he would
favor above -all others for the demo
cratic presidential nomination. Evi
dently he has decided not to allow
Mr- Bryan's friendship to bother him

to Underwood, but he says:
Both are good men, either of whom
would make a good president.
Ant then he adds:
On tha whole. If I had to speculate
on the chances, I would be disposed to
favor Clark.
So Mr. Bryan must go it alone,

leaves him, however, Folk, Wilson,
Marshall, Hoke Smith and a few
others for his first choice. And it
is notable that Mr. Hearst has taken
issue also with Mr. Bryan on Dr.
Wilson. Hearst says nothing par
ticularly against the New Jersey
man, whom Bryaa approves, but
damna Mm by faint praise, just the
same. Aa tha time approaches tha
democratic-free-all grows more in-

Pugilism on the Decline.
it seems to be up to Reno and
New York to aave the manly art of
pugilism. London, like moat Ameri-
can cities and states, refuses to ko to
the rescue. The British authorities
even declined to wink at tha John
son-Wells fight and, so far as pres
ent plans go, that affair Is off. Lon
don's blow was truly of tha knock
out sort, too, for it had back of it
the power of official authority plus
a very outspoken and determined
public sentiment.

Tha turn of affairs in London will

people everywhere, who believe the
time has come to shut down ou this
highly commercialized form of bru-
tallty, which goes by the name of

state and city of New York, whose
legislature, doing tha bidding of
Tammany hall, haa reinstated pugi-
I liam, and conversely. It ta comfort
to the great majority of cities and

President Mohler.
President Mohler of the Union
Pacific Is to be congratulated on his
promotion to be head of that great
transcontinental railway system, and
Omaha is ta be congratulated at the
same time because the recognition
accorded to Mr. Mohler carries, with
it accentuation of the importance of
Omaha In the railway world. As vice
president and general manager of
the Union Pacific, Mr. Mohler lias
not only enhanced his reputation as
a practical railroad man, which was
already high before he took charge,
but also proved himself to be imbued
with the right ideas of the relations
between the railroads and the people
in the territory served. For the task
to be performed, Mr. Harriman could
not have had a better lieutenant than
Mr. Mohler, and the succession of
the latter in the position formerly
occupied by Mr. Harriman attests the
confidence reposed in him.
Where Omaha may expect to gain,
aside from having the new president
located here, is in the centering of
official authority over the entire sys
tem, including the Oregon Short
Line, again at this point It insures
the developing of the Union Pacific
Independently of the Southern Pa
cific and other Harriman lines, and
the ateady upbuilding of the road
whose growth and prosperity cannot
help but add to the growth and pros
perlty of Omaha as the gateway for
practicallyKall its through traffic.
General Manderson had the dis
tinction of being Nebraska's only

full terms. And it is not because
others have not tried to match his
record that he was unique in this re

War Over Tripoli.
Just as the Moroccan war cloud van
iahea from the scenery of Europe the
Turco-Italian war cloud rose suddenly In
a clearing sky and settled down to busi
ness In Tripoli. Tripoli Is the only division
of North Attica controlled by Turkey.
Egypt Is securely British. Morocco Is as
safely French as Algiers. Spain controls
a strip of mining country around Melllla.
Italy has not tasted a mouthful of the
rich territorial loot, and Tripoli Is the
only available slice that la left of the
whole Mediterranean coast of Africa.
Lying directly south of the toe and heel
of Italy, ita trade controlled by Italians.
Tripoli Is too tempting and lonely a mor
sel to remain in the clutch of back num
ber rulers. The excuse of Italy is that
Italian trade is harassed by excesstve
taxes, Italian traders boycotted, and antl-
italian agitators encouraged In fomenting
hatred of the subjects of the house of
Savoy. Italy insisted on annexing, peace
ably If possible, forcibly if necessary. To
aave ammunition and strife, Italy offered
to pay ground rent annually to Turkey
Turkey appealed to the powers, but the
latter, gorged by the Moroccan feaat of
plunder, were too full to Interfere. What
next? Turkey lias no navy worth men'
tlonlng and cannot cope with Italy on the
seas. The regular force of 10,000 Turkish
troops in Tripoli has been Increased
according to reports, to 25,000 effectives.
Italy proposes to throw 80,000 troops
Into Tripoli. If there is to be much
fighting It will be Inland. The Turks
are fighters of unquestioned bravery, are
well equipped, well trained and officered,
Fighting on the defensive against an In
vading army of a Christian power, it Is
not unlikely that the spirit of the prophet
will Invoke a holy war. In these clrcum
stances the invading army must be one
of overwhelming numbers if it escapes
repetition of the thrashing administered
by King Menellk's ebony warriors a few
years ago.
Tripoli lu American History.
Just a century ago the united States
started a series of wars with
Tripoli and the adjacent Barbery states
and had some Interesting experiences
The piratical rulers of that region thrived
mightily on tribute levied on trading mer
chantmen. So great was the tear spread
abroad by the Mediterranean freebooters
that European powers contributed a mil
Hon a year to plactte tha gang, and the
United States chipped In. In 1801 the de
mands of the bashaw of Tripoli became
so exorbitant that President Jefferson
determined to abolish the practice. A
squadron under Comodore Dale made a
few demonstrations along- the coast and
cooled the ardor of the baahaw for a time.
War In earnest waa declared two yeara
later and Commodore Bainbridge went to
the front to meet disaster. The frigate
Philadelphia which Bainbridge com
manded went on a rock In the harbor of
Tripoli . and the commander and crew
were captured, held prisoners for a year
and ransomed for 160. 000. A few months
after the disaster Commodore Stephen
Decatur sailed into the harbor in the
little ketch Intrepid, and, under the fire
of the forte on shore, burned the Phila
delphia, an exploit pronounced by Ad
mlral Lord Nelson of England "the most
daring of the age." In the second war,
ten yeara later, the American fleet unde
Commodore Decatur swept the entire
Barbery coast, humbled bashaws right
and left, recovering much of the coin
formerly poured into their coffers, and
concluded the ceremonies by taking 123,000
from the bashaw of Tripoli, liberating
Christian slaves, and compelling the
musselman potentate to salute the stars
and stripes. Whatever may be the out'
come of the present rumpus In Tripoli
the proceedings will have a touch of
local color for Americans.

With the exception of strips of land con
tlguous to oceans and Inland lakes, the
summer drouth experienced In the United
States baa been duplicated aroutyt the
world. Both drouth and heat have made
records outrunning the memories of the
oldest Inhabitants. The Intense beat of
midsummer extended Into September In
Europe, greatly Increasing Infant mor
tallty ana . prolonging distress among
adults. In parts of Great Britain ths
soil is baked hard enough to turn a plow- j

be feared, have thrust their heads above
water, and for the flrat time In a century
the Welnsteln Is visible. Most of the
Alps have been stripped ef their white
caps and many glaciers have been dis
solved. Swiss streams having tbelr
source in the mountains are running full,
while others are practically dry. Like
conditions prevail In Russia. India and
China, and the floods of the latter empire
are largely due to the effect of excessive
and continuous heat on mountain snows.
In all sections the major crops have been
seriously damaged, causing widespread
rise in the price of food and consequent
distress. The abnormal weather condi
tions are In some quaxtere believed to be
responsible for the discontent and turbu
lence and warwhoops manifested la vari
ous sections of the old world.
