DWIOHT. WILLIAMS, ll Subscribed In my PreV"c "Lf Mllbef0r ROBERT HUNTEf r&S Notary Public. ; No Faith in New Party. Despite the repeated and insistent assurance of the colonel that be and his followers have cut loose com pletely' from "the old republican party" and from "the old democratic party," conclusive proof piles up on all sides that the promoters of the new third term party have no faith in its permanence. Most striking is the tabulation of registration in Omaha and South Omaha, where each voter has been asked to say with what political party he wishes to affiliate. Out of a grand total of 14.630 regis tered voters, only 524 have enrolled themselves as members of the new third term party. Every one knows, of course, that there are more Roose velt followers here than that, but the rest of them registered as heretofore as republican or democrat because they want to he back in those parties at the primary next , year, and see nothing ahead for a separate third term party. In other words, the fol lowers of the colonel place no reli ance in his declaration that the new party has come to stay, or that he has any but a passing purpose to defeat President Taft out of personal spite and revenge.

Aviators on War Fields. According to dispatches from the Balkans, aviation may be actively em ployed by the opposing powers in the threatened warfare; airmen may actually engage in conflict. Even this prospect of scientific experiment, of course, should not whet the appetite for war, yet if war must come it will be interesting to follow the progress of these aerial maneuvers, especially in view of the almost unbroken train of tragic failures following nearly every recent attempt at utilitarian fly ing. It remains to be seen whether the Turks, the Bulgarians, the Greeks, Servians and other Mediter ranean powers are to surpass more advanced nations in making this dem onstratlon. It la quite notable that the war equipment of Greece include six French biplanes and one1 hydro aeroplane, as the modern successors of the fabled wooden horse.

Canada is taking steps to reserve cattle ranches in its large western states, something which,' says the Christian Science Monitor, the United States should have done to avoid situation that now '. perplexes , us. Whatever mistakes we may have made, it cannot be denied that the steady cutting up of western ranges Into smaller farms has become a vi tal factor in the problem of our meat supply. Yet since most of our so called small farms are not small at all, and in view of other obvious con siderations, the, Western' iarmircould profitably raise many more cattle than he is raising. The Monitor thinks It is not too late for us to lay aside some of these ranges even yet for cat tle purposes; that, while It would in volve an enormous aggregate expense, a nominal pasturage charge per head would effect a burdenless distribution and give us the land we needed. Of course, that is not all of the problem of the cattle raiser. He is being forced to ship his stock prematurely to sat isfy a perslBtent demand for the "best cuts," and this raids his herds so that he does dot get an opportunity to turn out finished products. That the Canadian system will give better results is yet to be demonstrated. Thirty Years Ago The Presbyterian synod convened in the First Presbyterian church, and elected Dr. G. P.

A Vote-Catching Promise Referring to the democratic plat form promise to reduce the high cost of living by tariff revision without injury to either the manufacturer or the working man,? the American cor respondent of the British National Review declares: If Governor Wilson can do that by re casting schedules he deserves well not nly of his own country but of all the world, for the complaint of high coat of living is werld wide, and presses almost aa heavily m a tree trade country as where protection Is highest The writer would have been more accurate if he had said that the high cost of living presses more heavily in a free trade country than It does where protection prevails because the exposure of the wage worker in free trade country to competition of the lowest paid workers la the world impairs Itls earning capacity, and makes it harder for him to supply his needs at any price. No one dis putes the fact 'that the American workman has to - meet the highest cost of living on the average of all the world, but along with that goes an undisputed higher level of wages, and also a much higher standard of living with all its comforts and con veniences. The wage worker who falls for the .vote-catching promise of a lower living cost that would at the same time take away his meal ticket, la not as intelligent as the average American workman is cred ited with being. . , . A new party Is born. Its progenitor Is ' Theodora Roosevelt Its baptismal name; is Theodore Roosevelt Its platform and confession cf faith is Theodore Roosevelt; both of which are a strange admixture of statesmanship, socialism, demagoglsm and anarchy; containing much that la old, some of which is new, and the whole, for the most part, abounding with the grossest most mischievous absurd ities. Before proceeding to an examination of the platform and confession of faith, let us first take a look at the antecedents Of the new party's godfather himself Theodore Roosevelt What Is said by anyone Is strengthened or weakened In great measure by the man and motive behind It. Eight years ago, immediately after his election' to the presidency, , Theodore Roosevelt announced that he adhered to the unwritten law that two presidential terms be the limit, and that he never again would accept a nomination for a third term. By the way, Washington or Jefferson would never have made such a state ment in advance of their being solicited Such a thought would never have entered their minds; but it did enter the mind of the restless Roosevelt all the same. Then, four years later, In unqualified terms, he indorses William H. Taft as his successor. Then, four years later, after President Taft -had given the country a most efficient administration and without even attempting to point out In detail where he, Taft, had committed vital error he announces himself as a candidate for a third presidential term; giving as an explanation of his former utterance that by the unwritten law was meant that no one should hold for three successive terms, an explanation which is simply an insult to ordinary Intelli gence. ' He then explains his candidacy as be ing controlled by the petitions of seven governors of course to save the country from going to perdition or he gathered his admonition from the. seven stars, or the signs of the zodiac. . But the trouble Is that once before Mr. Roosevelt declared: "By George, if I thought I could carry a single southern state I would agree to become a candidate for the presidency." The Pantagraph took this up at the time and added: "By George, President Taft has done faith fully and well, and is now entitled to his logical second term." "- ' ' Colonel Roosevelt then waged Vn active campaign, going from state to state, In order that he defeat President Taft for renomination, and that he (Roosevelt) would have three terms to President Taft's one. (Progressive, wasn't It?) Posing as a patriot and a shining ex ample, after joining with Washington and Jefferson In proclaiming the no third term; then with perfidy unspeakable he attempts to wrest from President Taft his logical second term and rushes to Chicago to temporize with the political elements there assembled 1n furtherance of bis wild ambitions, and, finally, when defeated for the nomination, with par ricidal Ingratitude, on the ruins of the former great political party which twice honored him with the highest office In People Talked About the gift of the American people, he at tempts to rear the fabric of his despotism. "As some fierce comets of tremendous size to which the stars did reverence as It passed," so Roosevelt, posing as Na poleon, rushed to Chicago with a bundle of recall of judicial decisions In one hand and the "big stick" in the other, to as sume personal control of his fiery legions, defying the Ides of the anniversary of Waterloo, then assuming in turn the role of Jullua Caesar's message to the Roman senate, Veni, vidl, vid, but ' Instead of Caesar's "I came, I saw, I conquered, the Rooseveltlan message reads, "I came, I proclaimed, I skedoddled." The Roosevelt statesmen when shouting stolen delegates voting ' on their own case" could see nothing beyond the in ordinate ambition of a delegate's seat; they could not see beyond to note that those "stolen" delegates were by sacred duty bound to represent their respective states, and right at the critical moment as of tenfold more importance than the glorious privilege of sitting In the com pany which they had to endure. This question was raised d6rlng the Impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson. Ben Wade was senator from Ohio, and in case of impeachment he would succeed to the vice presidency; for that reason his vote was challenged; but it was held that depriving Wade of his-vote would be to disfranchise the state that he repre sented; that the right of the state to representation was paramount; other wise scheming partisans could manipu late the selection of delegates in the various states to a national convention, first by filing contests against as many delegates on the other side as would be necessary; then have the chair rule that such delegates as were objected to by the1 other side could not vote upon their own case, or rather that of their respective states; thus leaving it clearly In the power of the challenging faction to force a vote on vital Issues, no matter how unjust, and thereby nominating the candidate of their choice. That was ex actly what this scheme of the Roosevelt faction would have led to had they suc ceeded. The credential committee answered that such procedure would contravene the precedent of all former political con ventions, and that such a course would open the door to' grossest fraud and cor. ruptlon Is self-evident Colonel Roosevelt declared that fifty- three men should . uut be permitted to overrule the voice of the people. "The people" adopted this method of settling contests in their previous national con venttons, and selected this committee of fifty-three members who could not know years ahead who the respective candl dates would be nor whose cases they would be called to pass upon, , What fairer method could be pursued?. The cry of the progressives of "thief" and "fraud" was simply on a, par with the tactics and conduct of their boss from the lnclpiency of his third term delusion. The modern Roosevelt knows no god- on week days but ambition, and with sublime devotion he kneels at the shrine of his tWrd-term Idolatry. When this progressive party found that defeat was Inevitable at Chicago they withdrew and held another convention, and amid loud hfisannahr named Theodore Roosevelt for their third-termer. SUMY GEMS.

The president's direct invitation to Har rlman to "get down here within a few days and take either lunch or . dinner with me," for, "in view of the trouble over ths state ticket in New Tork, I should very much like to have a few words with you" that invitation !s fa miliar. But, aside from that, the trouble in believing that Harrlman sought the in terview accumulates, j. . . , t Mr. Roosevelt now says that Harrlman sought the Interview to ask him to get Biles and Cortelyou to give mpney to Odell for the benefit of the' state ticket. Underlying that statement Is the neces sary assumption that H ami man and Odell believed that the national committee, at that late date In the campaign, had the money to give. But the fact was that the national committee had' no money for such a pur pose. And Harrlman could not have been in ignorance of the fact before going to Washington, Inasmuch as Odell, chair man of : the republican state committee, his political Intimate and tool, was in a position to know the condition of the nation committee's treasury.- -. Harrlman returned to New Tork from Washington, and It Is undisputed that, in stead of nagging- Mr. Bliss for funds, he set about raising $240,000. His personal contribution was $30,000, for which his es tate now shows a receipt signed by Mr. Bliss, the treasurer of the national com mittee. , "Still another difficulty one has In be lieving that Mr. Harrlman sought the White House Interview, is that, long be fore any controversy arese over the money thus raised, Mr. Harrlman told at least three men that be went to the White House at the president's request and was asked by him to raise the fund. One was Sidney Webster, another was Mr. TegCthoff, Harriman's secretary, and the third was Mr. Peabody, now president of the New Tork Mutual Life Insurance company. ' " 0 B0SE OF YESTERDAY. Winona C.

OMAHA, Oct. 10To the Editor of Ths Bee: Wtth the sneering insolence so characteristic of Its usual methods of politics, the World-Herald today pub lishes a front-page announcement to the effect that the Republican nominee for Congress Mr. Howard H. Baldrlge "knows what big business it." Were It not for the hypocrisy, inconsistency and utter unfairness of that sheet's column. It would be unworthy of notice. Mr. Baldrlge Is a lawyer and because of his worth in legal capacities has earned the privilege of representing a few great concerns, the Standard Oil among them. It la known to men who reason with im partial fairness rather than biased opin ions that efficiency, Integrity and honesty are essential to maintain the retaining fee of any large business. The World- Herald might, were it fortunate enough to have affairs as great as the Standard Oil, which It minded as well as it now attempts to mind others', entrust them to a man of mediocre ability and doubt ful character, but I am Inclined to' be lieve otherwise. Not only In his associa tion wtth our citizens In many long years has Mr. Baldrlge proved most conclusively his character, Integrity and honesty, but he has earned the respect and admiration of a great host of friends, among whom the writer is glad to class himself. The World-Herald alleges Itself to be a representative of the people (we have had no evidence of this assertion, bow ever, save its own word) and by the people is graced 'with an existence. It pretends to represent the best of a com munity, and according to Its self-shouldered motto of "Hollar than thou," all such detrimental factors as they state Is the Standard Oil, fere to be strictly tabooed. Mr. Baldrlge Is a public servant yet must not touch the tainted money. However, we notice (with a due allow ance of humor) that the World-Herald ts only too happy to accept any adver tising which the Standard Oil Is pleased to extend to it, thereby themselves fall ing under the dreadful (?) title of ser vants of the Standard Oil. If it Is just for one public representative of . the Standard Oil (The World-Herald) to ac cept the renumeratlon for services ren dered that concern, would it be an Im pertinent question to Inquire why other public representatives should not emulate that pure . journal's example? Horrors, Harvey, would It? Another laughable feature of the article, which is Invariably inconsistent, Is that the Holy Herald takes Mr. Baldrlge to task for being the choice of both regular republican and bull moose faction of the progressives. Goodness, it is terrible that two tactions of a party should unite upon one candidate. The World-Herald for gets that no lesser personage than the Ir repressible Mr. Bryan, himself, was a candidate of the populist and democratic parties at one and the same time while running for office on his every-four-year-spin on the presidential track. Instances are known to that journal where the republican and democratic parties have both nominated the same man for the same office. If It be a crime to be sup ported by two parties then Mr. Bryan, by his affiliations with numerous parties In his rich runnjng , experience, should have been hung long ago. The selection of Mr. Baldrlge by all re publicans is the strongest Indication of their faith in his ability as a lawyer, a statesman and a man. "Every knock Is a boost" and the dirty slurs of the Holy Herald can but raise Mr. Baldrlge Sn the estimation of all who know, him. - Mr. Baldrlge is going to defeat Mr. Lobeck. This the Herald realizes and it resorts to Insinuation to try to defeat him. Mr. Baldrlge is going to be the next con gressman (from the Second congressional district of Nebraska and every repub lican knows this and Is happy to have an opportunity to vote for him. The writer Is not a politician and 'la penning this missive without the knowl edge of Mr. Baldrige, He asks as a re publican voter of the sovereign state of Nebraska that Mr. Baldrlge be accorded a square deal, nothing more, at the hands of the democratic scribes.
