was speaking seriously when he ap
pealed to the third-termers not to
"waste our time in-talking."

Baltimore is getting more of tbe
limelight now than it has had since
tha days of its old Orioles, when
Muggsy McOraw, Wee Willie Keeler,
Robinson, Sheckard and others, were
Ibe convention leaders. .
A heartless enemy of the canine
tribe ties a can on the noun' dawg's.
just aa the animal reaches for the
presidential bone. If Missouri permits
the crime to go unpunished, the label
on its patriotism is a fake.
The third-termers have, adopted
the red bandanna handkerchief as
their battle flag. It was original,
Tiowever, with the Allen G. Thurman
people in 1888, when Uncle Allen
went down to defeat with Mr. Cleveland.--
Major General Edward 8. Bragg,
commander of ' tbe famous "Iron
brigade' of Wisconsin ' during the
civil war, answers the last call at
the age of 85. His long life Is I
marked by distinction, honors and
usefulness In the civil and military
activities of tb nation. A democrat
from environment and choice be was
a factor in state and national politics,
for fifty years. Still the distinction
won aa a fighter on the battlefields
of the south and his success as an
elective Officeholder attracted less
- public attention than the epigram'
hurled at the Tammany opponents
of Groyer Cleveland in the conven
tion of 1884: "We love him lor
the enemies he baa made."
Democrats and Civil Service.
TVe reaffirm our adherence to the prin
ciple of appointment of public office
based on proved fitness, and tenure dur
ing good behavior and efficiency. -
That is a part of tbe republican
platform plank on civil service. It
means ail it says because back of
the words are the deeds, which form
the party's record. It is a party of
the civil' service and President Taft
has gone further than any republican
or democratic president yet in ad
vancing this principle. '
' The country must wait with a
good deal of interest to see what the
Baltimore convention will say on this
subject. Will the democratic plat
form makers advocate tbe merit sys
tem while their representatives in
congress are promoting legislation to
abolish It and substitute the old
spoils system? "Words are good and
only so when backed by deeds," once
said Colonel Roosevelt. ' No words
the democrats can put in their na
tional platform coddling the people
on civil service can possibly, speak
s4 Joud as the measure originated
in the house which would deal a
death blow to the system of civil
service and prostitute the emolu
ments of office to the party in
power.
Square Deal or Socialists.
The prompt and vigorous action
of Attorney General Wlckersttam and
tbe house In the case of the Seattle
socialist, disfranchised because of his
political convictions, is sufficient evi
deuce of the federal government's
jealous anxiety for the eanctlty of
the constitution: Its scrupulous re
gard for the rights ot every citizen
under the organic law, without any
abridgement on the ground of politi
cal adherence. It should impress onr
socialist friends soberly. It should
deter them from violent speech about
not getting a square deal from the
government. , U
This amazing decision of 'Judge
Han ford. If allowed to stand, would
set a precedent for disfranchising
Man fAF'whaf tflfttf hallMl nnfltln-
ally and 'therefore would be inimical
to fundamental Americanism. . .That
is why the federal powers are act
ing. But the case happens to Involve
A socialist and tbe country happens
to see that that in nowise lessens the
anxiety of tbe government for equal
Justice, A socialist gets the same
chance in this country as a repub
lican or a democrat, so long as he
keeps within the pale of law and
order. . .
Nebraska a Leader Among' Leaden.
Tha census bureau Includes Ne.
braska, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota,
Missouri, North Dakota and South
Dakota in what it terma the west
north central division of states. . It
shows is division" to Ite supreme in
tbe production of all cereals in the
United States., For instance in 1909.
this group of states produced
li,088.12,47 worth of grain.
while tbe whole country's output was
82,685,639,714, only a little more
than double the production of these
seven states. That makes this di
vision the great producing section.
And it is worth Nebraskan's while
to observe that in this group of seven
supreme states their state is one of
the very leaders. Iowa, being much
older and more tho-oughly settled,'
comes first with 1230,206,315 in the
combined ; output of grain, Kansas
second with $169,109,449 and'Ne-'
braska a close third with $153,666,.
652 The average per cent of in
crease in all cereals in this group for
ten years was 99.1, while Nebraska's
increase waa 102.9 per cent.. It is
fair to assume that at the end of the
next decade Nebraska will stand ab
solutely at the head of the column
in nearly all of these cereals. It is
now In its period of greatest develop-'
ment up to date with, the splendid
impetus of the last decade to heln'
its own. Its people have got over the
top of the hill and now have easier
pulling.
Our Reserve Force.
The saving factor in this country
Is its reserve force and recuperative
power. We are not a hand-to-mouth
people. We are not upset by local
reserves or transient obstacles.
Even K under forces contracting in
their natural effect our industries
expand. A money stringency occurs.
yet capital continues conservatively
to seek new fields of investment and
business proceeds with the minimum
of disturbance. Some even assert
that we are now panic-proof, mean
ing, ot course, complete paralysis of
business. This is no theory, but a
condition, brought about, not spon
taneously, but under the spur of per
sistent application of definite prin
ciples. The strength of nations, as well
as men, lies not In their ability to
escape or avoid accident, but in the
power to recover from their effects.
Materially and spiritually in the
broadest sense our resources are
such as to encourage belief in our
power to resist the most wit her in r
blight of adversity." Our good for
tune is that we have developed this
reserve force from the seed of it,
and now that we have it, nothing
can take it from us,- By learning
how to use the material means at
our command we have discovered
how to fortify ourselves against
overwhelming defeat And not the
least part of this factor is a spiritual
consciousness of material prowess.

PURSUING THE COAL COMBINE
Investigation Started by Interstate Commerce Commission.
New York Journal 'of Commerce.
The Denartment of Justice has been for Investigation seems likely to be th most
two or three years In pursuit of the com-
binatlon of coal roads with a view to en-
forcing the "commodities clause" of the
Interstate commerce act. and a case Is
sOll pending on appeal In the supreme
court. Since the advance in the price ot
anthracite after the new agreement be-
tween the operators and the miners went
into effect the, Merchants 'association of
this city has instituted an Inquiry into
the reason for the increase, in which
some of the railroad officers have prom-
tsed to co-operate. A resolution baa been
reported In the house ot representatives
directing the secretary of commerce and
labor, through tbe bureau of corporations,
to obtain and report to that body "full
Information concerning the different ele-
menta of cost and profit included in the
present high price of anthracite coal, ape-
clfylng, as far as practicable, how much
and in what particulars the eool miners
were benefited by the recent strike agree-
ment and how much and for what rea-
son and by what means the cost of coal
to the general consumer was at the same
time increased." " '
,i m' i
Now the Interstate Commerce commls
slon baa. on its own initiative, Instituted
an investigation 'Into the rates, prac-
tlcea, rules and regulations of common
carriers governing the transportation of
anthracite coal from producing fields to
all points in tbe United States east of
the Mississippi and Borth of the Ohio and
Potomao rivers, known as official class',
flcatlon territory, including domestic and
export rates and shlpside or bunker coat
ralea to the tidewater and lake ports."
From these various lines of inquiry there
ought to be a full disclosure of the faets

of the coal to consumers should be shown
to be Justified or some effective means ten tickets and not Interfere with the

-
According to the order for the Investl-
action it ia not only to inquire Into the
rates, practices and regulations relating
to transportation, but to "ascertain
whether the coal Is mined or produced
0y or under the authority of the common
carriers engaged In the transportation
thereof, or whether common carriers own
)n whole or In part any mine or mines
producing anthracite coal which they
transport." . This 1s obviously aimed at a
possible violation of ' the "commodities
clause. Nwhlch has long been under Judl-
cial Inquiry In a prosecution. What the
commission has direct authority to deal
with and to correct Is anything in rates,
charges or regulations which may be un-
lawful because unjust or unreasonable
or unjustly discriminating, and there
bave been complainu of unfair treatment
of independent mine owners and per-
ators. Thla persistent and vexatious s!t-
uatlon regarding the "coal road combine"
and its effect upon the price of anthra-
cite,' ought to be cleared up. and it is
not likely to be allowed to rest until
Justice Is done. If those In Control are
wise, they will help to make it clear and
voluntarily desist from anything that
