If It Is true that Mr. Bryan made a Ticarioue sacrifice of hi associate editor, then w have a "sting of in gratitude" that make the other one resemble a fond lover' snip. Rumors that Mr Bryan la flirting with the wets la Nebraska have a distinct bearing on the democratic national presidential situation. But w are aot ready to give credence. Beatrice ha beat Omaha to it so far aa putting Its commission plan of city government into actual opera tion, and the chase for appointive Job I deacribed a something fierce. II is a safe Inference, therefore, that the language wilt be Inadequate to Characterise the pie counter crush a hurt Tjf Otpah y Kebmka'i Senatorial Policy. Out of the recent primary de velops the certainty that Nebraska's next I'nited States senator will be either Congressman George V. Xor ris or ex-Governor Ashton C. Shallen berger. nominated respectively on the republican and democratic tick ets. So matter which la successful this means the retirement of Senator Norrls Brown at the expiration of h!s term of office. It means further more that Nebraska is still arlheilng to Its policy of constant change In its representation In the senate, and that the rule of a one-term senator il.it Is anain to be applied. In all of the time since Nebraska was ad mitted to the union It has only once. and that in the case of General Man- derson, kept the same senator for two consecutive terms of service In contradistinction to other states that hare managed to w ield large In fluence In national affairs by pursu ing precisely the opposite policy. Nebraska's next I'nlted States sen ator will, It is true, be not Inexperi enced in the work of national legis lation, for both Mr. Shallenbcrger and Mr. Norrls have represented the Fifth Congressional district in the lower house, the latter having suc ceeded the former. Yet promotion from the hous to the senate Is not the same as retention of a senatof term after term with Ita cumulative Influence and prestige, to say noth ing of enhanced strength and pres tige of approving recognition by a constituency. So far as the senator ship Is concerned, Nebraska'r policy appears lo be rotation la office, and It remains to b seen arhctier we will ever reach the poin; where permanency appeals to ut as more desirable. One Urbane Miaiourian. Vrbanlty hag Its mouthpiece on the floor of the house In Mr. Murker of Missouri. In the course of a 200-word speech, ss appears In the veracious Congressional Record the one mem ber of th press aside from Mr. Prysn's Commoner, which enjoys the confidence of Mr. Rucker tha af fable Missourlan makes use of the phrase, "the distinguished gentle man" Just seven time and findn two places for the term, 'rplendld de mocracy," with which he further em bellishes bis diction. Mr. Rucker was speaking some what of "publicity." He assured the house tbst he took no stock in the ordinary run of newspapar publicity and especially when It "reflects upon the character of distinguished citr ons." but he was "glad so many dis tinguished gentlemen" had already expressed their approval of this pub licity legislation. He was delighted that the "distinguished gentleman" from Alabama Underwood) was fa vorable to the measure and that another "distinguished gentleman" from New Jersey, a randldate for the presidency, also favored -It and that tbe "distinguished speaker of the house, who will be the next dem ocratic .nominee for president," wss back of It. Pausing for the expected applause, the distinguished Mr. Rucker continued: Mr. Speaker, the friends of th speaker of this houa bow In gratltud to the "splendid dmorary" of Oklahoma, Kan- sag, Illinois, Arkannaa, Wlaeonsln and loww and to the "splendid democracy" of Nebrsika and away over to the Pa cific coast and to the "splendid democ racy" of Oregon. Buncombe continues to play Ita part in th political oratory and lit erature of tbe day, lust as it did when th old-time Fourth of July epread-eagla was deemed the best bait to catch rote. Offics-Seekert in Kauai, Many men withhold their (usport from woman' suffrage because tney believe tbe majority of the women themselves do not desire It, or hav ing the right to vote, would not exer cise It That this posttioa 1 entirely tenable ha been shown la some com munlttes t not all where women have the franchise.. But In Kansas, where women may hold office as well-a vote, there la no hesitancy on their part to exercise their rights and privileges. 80 keen and sensitive of their opportunities are these maid and matrons of bleeding Kansas that, so report say, In nearly every county tn the date tbe tickets show women candidates for office. Fully 200 women are ex pected to present themselves as office-seekers at the spring elections. Thus Is woman' suffrage or wo man' right to hold office, whether she uiby vote or not, vindicated in Kansas. But let it not be Imagined that the Kansaa women seek only the soft places at the public crib, such aa school superintendents and the like. Here in the city of Leaven worth a woman has served for more than two years aa one of tbe three police commissioners, a work involv ing tbe strictest application. And, seriously, If woman Is going into pol itics at all, why should not her In fluence be exerted as an official agency? It appears that the Kansas women, like the Kansas men, are not shirking public responsibility, even though it doe carry torn emolu ment with It. Our assistant city attorney goes east shortly to New York, Boston and Philadelphia to take depositions In the gas franchise case. That is not quit as good a trip as a European Jaunt would be, but In the nature of things litigation . with th gas com- pany would not be expected to yield as rich returns as lawlng for "Im mediate" purchase of the water work. Barbarism in Morocco. Existing conditions In Morocco, where, through the streets of Fei, heads of decapitated French victims are borne on spears by infuriated na tives as their trophies of conquest, leave something to be desired of civ ilization in that part of the orld Frenchmen are paying do: rly for their country's avarice, in northern Africa, and the world la furnlh.?d a startling exhibition of the barbaric influences which still have dominion among the Moors, at least In crises like this. When Germany and France finally reached their agree ment over Morocco, Europe ex pressed the grstifled feeling that such a atrip of sand was not worth fight ing over, anyway, and though this settlement was tinged through and through with purely financial Inter eats, aa any mention of the name of former Premier Calllaux rcnlls, It was received with manifest satisfac tion in preference to war between the two great powers. Finally, however, the Moors have revolted over something and they ruthlessly slay and torture French men, women and children! wreaking a carnt'ge seldom wltnel in even seml-clvUlzed countries. It is one of those numerous and oft-repeated re minder that something more than material exploitation In northern Africa calls loudly to the attention of European civilization,. Note that In these horrifying depredation in tbe city of Fez, women are leaders. Is this the logic of the orient's tradi tional subjection and debasement of femininity? Here again, the semi civilized east calls for occidental aid. Through a special committee the Commercial club is to move for a law to protect unwary folks from dropping money In worthless storks and fake scheme generally. Tbe publication of a truthful Inventory of losses by Commercial club mem ber bitten on get-rlch-qulck proposi tions would b a powerful lever to accomplish tbe object. Th coat-tail candidate for repub lican national committeeman, who landed by being pulled along by the colonel, suits the democratic World- Herald to perfection. If Nebraaka republicans, however, try to suit the democrats In order to get the .,orld- Herald's approvsl, they may be sure of It all the time only by putting democrat In office. Railroad officials are predicting bumper small grain crop through out Nebraska this year. It the prophecies are realized on, ' the farmer who does hot ride In an auto mobile by next season will be as scarce aa th proverbial mow ball. Th social service board of theater censor will be deferred until the new regime take hold of Omaha's municipal government. Try to Imagine what will not be unloaded on the commissioners about to be elected. Among tht&e who sank with the Titanic were a lot of "human buz zards of the sea," New York and London thugs, who travel on the finest ship to prey on It wealthy passengers. For them no requiems are being made. We freely admit that had the edi tor of The Bee won out for republi can national committeeman, his suc cess would not hve elicited such ful som editorial approval from the democratic World-Herald.

It shows us man at his beat, when, like Jim Biudao. h has 'seen his duty, a dead sure thing, and went tor it thar and then." Man Is not nnobIed In the Titanic disaster. Rut the Titanic dl.i aater shows u how noble man Is, and would more often prove himself were such disaster more common than they are. A hue and cry 1 now being raiae-i for a dastard. Some people seem bent on finding one. They want th fly In th ointment, th blot on the picture W turn, rather, to that long and bright galaxy of names of men who were men In the last analysis. W think of th' musicians who played in th face of death and. last of all. played the music of worship. Heroes all: It I a long list of heroes, and no doubt the list of heroines is longer than we now know.

They urged her to save herself. The Itbeboat was waiting The husband who had chosen a manly death for himself that other might be saved, added his urging to that of the others. There were their children waiting In the world beyond th latitude and longitude where they were going down. There wa a long life of ease and com fort for her. to be filled with the sweet rverenc of children reverencing her sorrow, and the prattle of grandchildren to llEhten Its gloom.

There may have been steerage women who did likewise. There may have been other women who left th ship In hop of a reacue of- those they left behind. But thl woman made for th world a picture of conjugal lov. bright vivid snd Isallng. to set against th weak and wild complaining of the aiultltudea crying out of loves which die and can not endure the trials of a work aday world.

Haltlmor American. On, redeeming feature of great disasters Is the heroism which seems to be dormant In normal human nature until some unusual Impulse calls It forth. "You have children: take my place," said a young girl on the sink ing Titanic. "I am afraid then are not enough," said a steward when urged tt cur a life-belt for himself What could be addsd to such words at such a time? Philadelphia Ledger: Charles Herbert Lightoller, second officer of the White Star liner Titanic, was la th icy water, aided by a life-belt, for one hour and a half when he waa fortuitously saved. He stood by th ship until the last, working to get th passengers away, and when It appeared that he had made his last trip h went up high on the officers' quarters and Biad th bast dlv he knew how to make Just sa the ship plunged down to the depth. Boston Transcript: It Is difficult to choose between a thousand stories cf heroism, but th people who knew and loved Henry B. Harris will nke to recall his last words to his wife: "Don't worry, Rene, sweetheart. I'll get the next boat, and you know I'm a good swimmer." This wss said with more of a laugh tnan a smile. It comforted and reassured the woman, as It was meant to do; but Mr. Harris was under no Illusions, snd, when he had persuaded her to safety, he turned to a fellow passenger and observed: "Nothing for us. eh, but to dls like gen tlemen?"

April 24.-To the Editor of The Bee: The announcement that a com pany has been launched with headquar ters in Xmaha that would soon have money, and plenty of It for farm loans In Nebraska, and probably reaching Into territory which has not yet been oc cupied by loan companies, but where the conditions fully warrant such occupancy, appeals to me as a wise and useful means for the use of capital. It Is an unquestionable fact that flmt mortgages afford the most sure and safe Investments known to men who have surplus money for investment, and It has been proven beyond a doubt that no securities are anywhere to be found which are better than Nebraska farms. The writer is by occupation an examiner f farms for loan securities and has been a resident of Nehraaka for twenty-eight years and hat seen the progress of the Nebraska farmer throughout that period. Periods of depression have come, but the stability of land values has been estab lished and loans are and have been made on 33 to 40 per cent of these values, with sut h a small percentage of default In payment that no mention Is ever made of such.
