When tha democrat of Douglas rounty put at tbe hwid of their county ticket, to tske charge of the pending campaign, tbe chief deputy of the democratic county attorney, they thought they had played a great stroke of politics. The powers vested in the county attorney are large. They extend over the whole county. which Includes South Omaha, Ben son and all the country precincts In addition to Omaha, and are thus the most fsr-reachlng police powers In the hands of any local officer. To have the prosecuting machinery of tbe county, and the democratic ma chine of the county welded Into one, was thought by them to carry with It a tremendous leverage upon tbe votes of those who would wsnt to stand In or be let alone. It seems, however, that tbe demo crats have over-played their hand. not counting on the fact that above and beyond the democratic county attorney la a republican governor at Lincoln, charged with seeing that the county attorney of Douglas county, as much aa any other law officer In any other part of the state, does his duty. When, there fore, the chief deputy county attor ney In his capacity as county chair msn publicly announced that he had In hla possession convincing evidence of registration and election frauds In Omaha, he claimed to hold tbe par ticular card for the governor to call. If the democratic deputy county at torney chairman Is running a bluff for political effect only, he Is In a mighty awkward predicament, and If he Is not bluffing, he still shows himself In an unenviable light of having flagrantly neglected hereto fore to unearth and stop the regis tration and election frauds notori ously perpetrated last year In the in terest of the democratic randlates for governor and United States sen ator. Men and Measures. Senator Johnston of Alabama finds concord among southern democratic newspapers on his suggestion for a short and pointed, or perhaps wo should say, brief and breesy. plat form for the national campaign. He and they agree that. people do not generally read political platforms and therefore they are Inclined to discredit Mr. Bryan's oft-reiterated epigram that It la measures, not men, that count. The Houston Post goes to the extent of saying, "It Is per sonality that counts most, and tbe fact cannot be disputed." There Is something In this theory, but who will say that it was the magnetic personality of the brilliant young orator and not tbe paramount Issue of 16 to 1 that overwhelmed democracy In 1886T Mr. Bryan then, as again In 1900 and 1908, packed houses and streets with people eager to get within range of his thrilling eloquence. He was cheered from one end of tbe country to tbe other.' He often said, himself, in 1900, that if he could draw votea as he did crowds, he would be elected overwhelmingly, and he would. The Bryan campaign stands out as rather strong proof that, whether the people will read platforms or not, tbey care enough about them to find out what they contain and if fundamentally they regard tbe Issue or tbe measure as unsound or unde sirable, no personality Is going to save the day. Mr. Bryan, it seems to us. speaks a golden truth hewed out of rough experience when he lays stress on measures before men Of course, together with the meas ures or the Issues making up tbe platform of tbe present campaign. the people are sure to take Into con aid oration the record of the parties and the men and that party or man with a record of constructive legislation to Its credit, will be given preference over the one with a chain of broken promises and d structive criticism as Its chief asset Making Laws Douhly Profitable. Pennsylvania haa a state food buresu which gets results. It not only serves to protect the people of the state from the menace of Impure food, but It turns Into tbe state treasury a revenue while It works When such a bureau waa proposed ss an adjunct to the state govern ment, certain elements opposed It' on the ground tbst It would simply be come a sinecure Imposing sn addi tional financial burden for its main tenance upon the taxpayers. But these elements, which, of course, were not stating their real reaaons of opposition, now see that they had resorted to a very flimsy srgument to beat the bill According to the Philadelphia In qulrer, tbla bureau baa paid for Its operation the first year and turned into tbe state's strong box beside tbe sura of $5,000. This revenue comes In tbe form of fines levied upon thr.ss cosrlctsd under the law through tbe Instrumentality of the bureau. Eight hundred and eight caaea were prosecuted and con vie tlons obtained in all but one. Evi dently the state food bureau of Penn eylvanla is a most active functionary, It la perfectly plain that the law creating It la being enforced. Here Is the difference between a sinecure or a dead-letter and a live law actually an forced. It la a good example ot this character when backed by public sentiment and administered by a pnblie servant In stead of a private tooL Tbey said la PennayrvaaU that the law would ralFe tbe cost of living, would not prevent food adulteration and would result In scandal. The Inquirer says the only scandals thus far are those attached to tbe adulterators of food who have been caught with the goods and punished by tbe bu reau. "The public has been greatly benefited and the cost of food baa actually decreased." Yes, and what Is more the people have been given a splendid object leseon In law en forcement, to the utter consternation of those Inter est a whose business was not clean enough to enable tbe people to do without this law. The Old and New Railroad View. President Bush of tbe Missouri Pacific, haa come Into the limelight because of bla action In obtaining aa promptly aa possible an accurate statement of the recent Fort Crook wreck and sending it out for general publication with as many names of dead and injured as he could get Mr. Bush's friends, the newspaper men, are having a good deal of fun with him as the railroad president reporter. But tbe important thing about President Bush's action Is IU dis tinct emphasis of the difference be tween the old and new railroad view of such matters. Imagine. If you can, the railroad president even of ten years sgo doing what Mr. Bush did. It used to be the Idea when a wreck occurred, no matter with what appalling toll of human life and misery, tbe thing for the railroad to do waa to clamp down promptly on every channel through which the facts of the disaster might possibly escape and turn the anxious public's inquiring agent, tbe newspaper, away with a look of the blandest ig norance. Of course, in time thla foolish system did away with Itself, and now things are very different It is the custom of many leading railroads to do all they can to get at and divulge tbe details of a wreck or accident, which the public wants and has a right to know. But this change baa come over the railroads not only in their view of this one aspect of their relation to the public; it marka their whole con duct, more or less distinctly. The wisdom and fairness of decent pub licity long ago became apparent to them. And they are the trainers hv It, too. And when the system has been In vogue long enough to im press its full value. It 'will be more generally adopted it will 'be ex tended to Include more of the man agement of the roads insofar as it as to do with the public from which the railroads derive thir franchises. Governor Aldrlch asks our demo cratic county attorney a sockdologer wnen he wanu to know why he did not get busy on election frauds last year. If he is so solicitous about them this year. The same question might be well propounded to certain other gentlemen who refused to wake up when The Bee sounded the alarm a year ago, but have now sud denly aroused from their lethargy.

Under the new revenue law of the state taxee are payable somt-annuaUy. due iu October and April. A discount is allowed If both Installments are paid in October, but Interest occurs If the first payment is deferred until April. In com pliance with this law the assessment books of New York City were opened for hu&lneea by the tax department last week. The total asaeased valuation ot real es tate for the five boroughs constituting the greater city is $7.377.&22,064. ot which Manhattan carries $4,713,221,565. Tbe real estata increase over the preceding tax roll is H47.ft51.9C9. Personal tax assess ments have been hoisted on some of tbe most persistent taxpayers. For Instance, Andrew Carnegie, who had been the ban ner personal taxpayer because he volun teered to pay on $5,000,000, has been raised to $10,000,000, and hla wife is taxed on $200,000. and Mra Russell Sage, who paid last year on $3,000,000, has been raised to $10,000,000. In a large number of other cases the assessments have been raised 100 per cent. The assessments on Indi vidual members of the Vanderbilt family have been doubled. J. Plerpont Morgan. who has paid on $400,000, has been as sessed on $800,000; Joaeph PullUer has been hoisted from $tOO,000 to $1,000,000, and so has Mrs. Sarah E. Cook of U West Thirty-eighth street. The estate of the late John W. Gates has been put down at $1,000,000 as an experiment At the other end of the list much uncoil ectable tax has been cut out and the experi mental total Is only $74W,000.000, about $104,000,000 leas than the last books showed. Orerprodactloa of Flats. Opinions of real estate agents, opera tors and builders, gathered by tbe Even ing Pont, agree that the housing situa tion, aa regards apartment houses In New Tork City, ''has reached such a stage of overproduction as to call for a stop In the construction ot such buildings for at least six months. It Is the belief that too many houses have been con structed, the owners of which muat get rentals, In order to make their Invest ments return an Income, which are beyond the means of the average renter ot apart- menta A complete stoppage ot flat-house build ing Is necessary, they argue, because of the existence of so many vacancies as to encourage ruinous .competition between owners of apartment buildings, which is resulting In the making ot reductions and other concessions that are naturally hav ing an adverse effect on property of that character generally. "Evan with the offering of inducements there are many owners who have tailed to fill their houses during the current renting season, which is now practically closed, and there are vacanclea, numer ous In some houses and meager In others, but in practically all sections which have developed corupeciously with apartment houses." Victim of .HarthqnaVe Shock. A strange case of recurring aphasia d ie to the shock of passing through the San Francisco earthquake came to light In New York when Christian Deweln, a wealthy retired merchant of Berkeley, Cal., reeled and tell Into the arms of a passerby- on the -street. For more than half an hour, although perfectly con scious, memory utterly failed him. When Mr. Deweln recovered he said that the flrat attack ot this kind came la April, 1907, almost exactly a year after the earthquake. Although he passed through scenes of horror at that time be suffered no injury and no 111 effects until his first selsure. The first attack lasted Urn minutes. On October S, 1909, his birthday, he had a similar attack. The strange feature ot his third period ot torgetfulness was that it followed tiia second by exactly two years. Mr. Dewein, who Is 63 years old, Is mak ing a pleasure trip alone. After his mem ory returned today he walked away ap patently as well as ever. Stocking? Bank Breaks. When the occupants of a room In a hotel telephones downstairs for the mana ger at midnight It is a sure slttn In the office that the kick that Is coming Is going to be life sized. So when the room clerk at tbe Gotham, who happened to be the highest in authority at that hour. the night before last, started upstairs to receive what was coming he was prepared for the worst. Instead, the man who had telephoned, greeted him with a smile. "Say." ha remarked, "I expected to get my bill today, but I hardly expected to find a lot of money on my floor. Look at It." The floor was covered with silver and small bills. The clerk' counted the money and found there was J7 of It. The only 'clue ha haa as to the owner was a little bag. Next morning bright and early one of the chambermaids reported she had lost her roll, which she had been In the habit of carrying In a little bsg In her stocking, and as she named the sum cor rectly she received the money that has been found the night before. Drinking Cap Graft. A fine field for petty graft, honest or otherwise. Is opened by the legal prohibi tion of common drinking cups. In a New Tork City court room the other day a lawyer who was trying a cars asked a court attendant for a drink to slack his throat. The attendant refused and the astonished lswyer appealed to the clerk of the court. "Sorry," said that official, "but unless you have an Individual cup In your pocket the new ordinance says you shall not drink." But an attendant was ready to sell him a new glass. There should be a boom In pocket drinking cups. An AvKurriit Difference. Cleveland Leader.
