Good as Far as it Goes.
The platform promulgated by the
candidates on the republican legisla
tive ticket in Douglas county is good
as far as it goes. It enumerates va
rlous measures for whose enactment
those subscribing promise to work,
which list will evoke few dissents.
Those measures which relate partic

volve upon the state law-makers only

ment to the constitution fails to

that contingency. The promises of

Ing machinery of the county map out
work that wquld be really useful. It
goes without saying that while a lot
of other things might have been in

those which pass up the recall. of the
Judicial decisions, woman suffrage,
county option, single tax, and other
over-night millennium panaceas. ,
Turkey Feeling Its Oats.
Turkey seems to be rather chesty
to borrow a bucolic term over Its
peace pact with Italy, Judging from
its peremptory demand upon the hos
tile Balkan powers to apologize
within twenty-four hours' for their
"Insolent" note to the porte. Un
doubtedly, Turkey did well to disen
tangle Itself from trouble with Italy
before getting into additional compli
cations, which, by themselves, prom
ise the sultan all he will be equal to.
With several small, but determined
powers combining their arms upon
their long-accumulating grievances
against the Ottoman empire, it
would appear that Turkey is in none
too good a position - to be -dictating
drastio terms just now. Greece and
her allied neighbors are not looking
for the chance to apologize to Tur
key; they are not seeking a basis of
surrender yet. It would be cause for
world-wide rejoicing if war might be
averted, but as tilings now stand this
seems highly improbable and Tur
key's imperious demands do not
help matters a particle.
The Colonel's Debt to Deneen.
The fierce way in which the col
onel has turned upon Governor
Deneen of Illinois is doubtless in
tended to make an example to deter
others of his" former followers from
openly opposing him.
If any one was deserving of the
colonel's appreciation and gratitude
for past services, irrespective of fu
ture favors, it is Governor Deneen,
because were it not tor him the col
onel would never hare gotten started
in the presidential game this year.
It was Governor Deneen who con
vened the legislature of Illinois In
special session last winter on de
mand of the Roosevelt managers, and
helped them force through a presi
dential preference primary law as a
desperate last resort to get the state
away from Taft. Shrewdly taking
advantage of this presidential pri
mary, the colonel contrived to make
it appear to the people of Illinois that
he was waging his fight, not against
president Taft, but against the un
popular Senator Lorlmer, and then
when he beat .torlmer to a frazzle,
he immediately held it up as a victory
over Taft. ' . ' '. .
His success in Illinois alone gave
the momentum which propelled the
Uoosevelt movement In other states
Where he carried up a follow-up cam
paign along the samet lines.
In a word, but for Governor
Deneen's help, Colonel Roosevelt
would have been left at the post in
the first heat of the race, and would
never have been brought out with
changed colors tor the finals.

"All I ask is the assurance that it I

chance, and then It will not matter
whether I win or lose."
A grand old sport and true is this
amiable, even-tempered Irishman,
who knows as well how to lose as
win, gracing sportsmanship with a
benignity and charm that elevate It

are not his. But that is not sports
manship. Lip ton's boats have never
beaten ours, yet here is the doughty,

willing to go it again and that in

PERKINS SITTING IN JUDGMENT
Steel Trust Director Talks Through His Eat
New York Financial World.
When George W. Perkins, in a letter
to William Jennings Bryan, defending
hi a' position on the trust problem against
the commoner's criticism, charges Presi
dent Taft and Attorney General Wicker
sham with having defaulted on their
pledge) to the American people in 1906 on
the corporation question, he distorts the
facts. That Is the usual way with the
champions of the progressive third term
candidate. .
Perkins contends that Mr. Taft and Mr.
Wickersham were responsible for the
breaking up of the Standard Oil com
pany and the American Tobacco com
pany Into its several units and for the
present high quotations of these stocks,
which when pieced together again give
them a market value much higher than
prevailed under the old order of things.
President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham had as much and no more
to do with the form of disintegration ot
the two trusts as PerklnC office bey. As
the directing officials of the government
they were in duty bound to see that the
mandate of the supreme court was
properly carried out This they did.
Mr. Perkins nurses the Utopian theory
to his breast that the government should
take upon itself the duty of determining
what are "good" trusts and what are
"bad" trusts. The good trusts then
should receive Uncle Sam's favor, and
the bad trusts be duly and severely chas
tised. This being Perkins' views, he In
dicates a lack of knowledge of the very
problem on which he poses as an au
thority. What would Mr. Perkins do
were the people to'elet the man who
1s such a drain at. present on Perkins'
barrel and the bad trusts were ordered
to dissolve? Should their stocks go up,
Instead of down? Would he order the
public to desist from buying their securi
ties snd stop purchasing goods from the
bad trusts at the prices they charger
President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham could not control the situa
tion which developed In the Standard Oil
and American Tobacco company. Per
kins knows this only too well. But he Is

RESURRECTION OF CAPT. JINKS
' Belated Fulfillment of Ragtime Prophecy.,
.),.-. Brooklyn xsagie.
Many thousands of men now grow
ing elderly will feel keen Interest in
this news from our all-regulating ad
ministration In Washington:
"Three divisions of the American ma
rines and bluejackets In Nicaragua will
bo mounted as expeditionary cavalry de
tachments soon, and sent on tours of in
vestigation Into sections of the country
not tapped by the railroad." ;
We don't know who wrote the orig
inal "Captain Jinks of, the Horse Ma
rines," but we do know that anyone
who should have called him a prophet
forty years ago would have had a de
risive community laughing in his face.
No concert hall song ever was more
catchy to the ear and fancy of the Amer
ican publlo, It began:
I'm Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines,
' I often live beyond my means:
I sport young ladle in their teens, to
cut a swell In the army! ,
X teach the ladles how to dance, how to
dance, how to dance,
I teach the ladies how to dance; for I'm
, their pet in the army. .
CHORUS:
Jim Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines.
I give my horse good corn and beans;
Of course, It's quite beyond my means,
Though a captain in the army.
If we remember correctly the parting
of the hero . from his maternal rela
tive , was told in . tearlcompeitng fash
Ion in the second stana: "When , I left
borne, mamma, she cried, mamma She
cried, mamma she cried, He ain't eut
out for the army." And the third and
last -stansa sticks:
The first day I went out to drill, the bugle
sound made me quite 111: .
At the balance step my hat It fell, and
that wouldn't do for the army;
The officers they all did shout, they an
cried out they all did shout; .
The officers they all did shout "Oh,
- That's the curse of the army.
As the Horse Marines who enlisted
for sea service painfully toss on the
reckless billows ot unaccustomed eques
trianism, they will be as lucky Ss Cs
tsln Jinks If nothing but the hat fails
off. They will learn ts ride, American

th air ef "There'll Be a. Hot Time In
the OM Town, Tonight," came to portend
battle and slaughter and sudden death
for the Filipinos, "Captain Jinks" should

OMAHA, Oct 18. 1912.-1. W. O. Henry,
president Douglas County Roosevelt club,
and Mr. N. Merrtam, progressive party
national committeeman, Gentlemen: We
respectfully decline the urgent appeal for
pecuniary assistance for the campaign of
the progressive party, made in your let
ter of the eleventh Instance. , '
We can see no virtue in the so-called
progressive movement, but can see much
in some of its doctrines and Its conduct
that is subversive of good government
and civic righteousness. .It would be idle
tor us to discuss generally with the presi
dent ot the Roosevelt club and the na
tional committeeman th grounds on
which we adhere to the republican cause
and condemn the movement of which you

gest that th betrayal of the republican
electors of the so-called progressive re

maries before ' the national convention
Was held, to be candidates of the re
publican party, for presidential electors
not only in this state, but In Kansas and
California, who ar now supporting; Col

SOUTH OMAHA, Oct 1B.-TO the Editor
of The Bee: Governor Aldrich nd Con
gressman Norrts ar now extremely so
licitous to obtain republican votes lor
their election as chief executive of the
state and as United States senator from
Nebraska. ' V - ' . v . 1- .. ' '
All well posted republicans are well
aware that these two political renegades
have been assiduously1 engaged since oc
cupying theif present offices in a men
dacious and treacherous effort to anni
hilate, murder and entomb the O. O. P.
In their anxiety to injure the candidacy
of President Taft and the republican party
they were actively engaged in boosting
that prince of demagogues, La Follette,
and When his chance proved an abortive
failure, these two professional office
seekers and office holders sprung with
alacrity, bearing aloft their brand of po
litical heresy and treason. Into th con
glomerated camp of Roosevelt -malcontents
and obstructionists,
Governor Aldrich to manifest his thor
ough spirit of antipathy toward our great
and good president In a diatribe deliv
ered In Lincoln on the Sabbath day be
fore a multitude of people, ladle and
gentlemen (so th newspaper reported),
was so imprudent and unwis as to de
nounce President Taft as a yellow dog.
This would look and sound bad for even
an anarchist Mr. Aldrich. when he saw
the fatal mistake he had made, and that
It ta impossible for him to be re-elected,
came out in a published article asserting
that he did not mean what newspaper
reported, but reviewing hi reprehensible
course since the republican party placed
him In the high and responsible position
he now flits, republican voters at th polls
in November are not apt to forget how
vociferously Aldrich worked to weaken
and wreck the party, while thousand f
people all over Nebraska hold bit rPa
sible largely for the murders committed
at the stat prison and believe that had
he been a faithful and efficient officer
and at his post of duty at the capital,
instead of being miles away explaining
himself before the publlo, those atroclou-'
deeds might have been prevented.
Every few days a convict escapes from
the state prison and every few days Al
drich pardons a noted criminal. I hav.
voted for every republican governor we
ever had and can safely affirm that
Chester H. Aldrich is th weakest, most
Inefficient, negligent and reckless gov
ernor Nebraska was ever eursed with. 1
Governor Aldrich has made a unique
record as a spender of the people's fund.
Sine his Inauguration h has traveled
about &000 mile at an expense ot tSM.
besides using th long distance telephone
to maneuver and exploit his candidacy
for re-election. How do you relish this,
Mr. Taxpayer of our grand and prosper
ous little state?
As th oldest republican, politically, in
Nebraska I earnestly anu conscientiously
submit the pertinent question to all good
citizens and old republicans, it it is not
good politics and righteous citizenship to
support at the polls Lieutenant Governor
Moorhead, the democratic nomine,
worthy, Capable, self-mad man, for our
next state executive in preference to Al
drich, the present inefficient governor
and unworthy incumbent and also Mr,
Shallenberger for the United States sen
ate, rather than Judge Norris, the rene
gade, whose chief object sine h was
given office by th republican party .Jia
been to wreck and destroy the O. O. P.
Fellow republicans, get rid of thee
