Sioux City Tribune: Prohibition
through tho demands of business nnd
industriul life continues to make great
headway. Tho Lackawanna railway has
issued an order lhatnonc of its employes
who have to do with the handling of
trains may use intoxicnting liquors
either on or off duty.
New York Sun: For a generation
Theodore Roosevelt has been gorged
with honors by the republican party,
He is now bound to dontroy it because
it refuses him that third doniod Grant
nnd by long prescription nnd tradition
held to be dangerous and , forbidden.
A now religious organization, non
sectarian and undenominational, with
the avowed purposo of purging Colo
rado's politics of all uncleanlincss and
and of raising tho standard of every
day living through "Christ's teachings
ns they apply to practical problems
and teachings of life," has been given
birth in Donyer.
Roosevelt claims that a panacea for
all our finnncinl, commercial and social
ills is found in tho platform of the so
called progressive party. If wo re
momber correctly this claim was made
by tho populist party and later by tho
democratic platform of 1890, both of
which wore rejected by the pcorjleahd
passed into oblivion. History will' re
peat itself.
Chicago Tribune: When a meat eat
ing nation finds its population increas
ing and its cattle production decreasing,
it can only hope that its statesmanship
may bo wise enough to offset tho forces
which nro increasing its demand and
lessening its supply. Otherwise there
will bo nothing loft to do but to follow
Dr. Doolittlo's advice and substituto
beans for beof. Tho United States is
beginning perceptibly to suffer from
growing pains.
California will be tho original La Toi
lette statu in tho presidential cam
paign of 1916, for a committee acting
in the interest of the Wisconsin man
has been formed and within u few
days tho first literatim) bearing tho
slogan "Robert M. La Folletto for
president in 1916" will bo .sent out;
from Its hoadquarturs. Tho com
mittee consists of Rudolph Spreck
leB, tho Ban Francisco sugar magnate;
Wm. E. Smytho of San Diego and
living Rartln of Stockton.
Notwithstanding his reiterated will
ingness to stop aside in favor of any
other more desired standard bearer,
the nomination of Colonel Roosovelt by
tho third party convention at Chicago
was foreordained, and will therefor sur
prise no ono. What it really does is to
accentuate beyond misapprehension the
the fact that Colonel Roosevelt has
abandoned thu republican party after
having uchleved all his high honors
through it, and with his associates has
undertaken to destroy the historic
political party tho party of Lincoln,
Grant, Gnrfioid and McKinley and to
supplant it with one of his own making.
At one time it was tho supposed ambi
tion of Colonel Roosovelt to refuso a
third torm whon It was within his
grasp. Later it seemed to be his ambi
tion to bo tho only president nominated
by hia party for a third torm. Having
failed to accomplish that object, after
foreswearing his renunciation of a third
term, his ambition seems now to bo
to Identify his nnmo with tho founding
of a now political party built, not up
on any great national crisis or
upon any vital issue, but upon
his own personality. His self
forced nomination to head the first
ticket of that party is but ono
in an ambition program which
bo fast unfolded as tho campaign
grosses. Omaha Bee.

Bull Moose Program.
Tho political wlso onus are looking for
n call to bo iisued for tho organization
of a 8traightout bull mooso party
Irti Nebraska. The bull mooso con
vention that mot in Lincoln two weeks
ago did not do anything but choose
delegates to tho convention at Chicago,
making everything else dopondont upon
action to bo taken thoro. It is said
now that tho convention did not adjourn
but merely took n recess, subject to
call of tho chair, and that instead of
having a brand now convention tho
old bno will bo reconvened, taking no
chances on having intruders got
control. This convention name
a set of eight presidontal electors for
tho Roosevelt ticket, presumably flvo
or six of those already nominated,
with two or three names added. What
it will do on the rest of tho ticket is
uncertain, but the assumption is that
it will endorse those candidates that
take oath to support Roosevelt and
join the third party and either ,pass up
the others or put in new nominations.
This bull moose convention will prob
ably be held in Omaha tho first part of
September in hope of making a better
showing thnn was made in Lincoln,
where it drew less than 100 delegates
and spectators all told, and it is pos
sible some big-gun speaker may bo
sent in to hep drum up a crowd.- Bee.
Would Give Coal Fields to Cities.
Secretary Fisher, of the Interor de
partment, has a plan to nllot govern
ment coal lands to cities, which in turn
may operate them under certain regula
tions to suoply municipal needs ns well
as those of citizens.
As n first step in the plan, Secretary
Fisher has recommended that congress
pass a bill granting G40 acres of coal
land to the city of Grand Junction,
Colo., and mean while tho Interior de
partment has withdrawn from entry
the land the city desires.
Cities in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
Montana, Idaho and other public land
states west of tho Missouri river would
bo most vitnlly affected by Secretary
Fisher's plan.
Tho general bill ho offers would au
thorize the secretary of the Interior in
his discretion to patent 640 ncros of
government coal land for ench city and
100 for ench town undor conditions
providing for prompt and continuous
development of tho coal, tho prevention
of nny assignment or transfer of the
land, the safeguarding of the health and
safety of laborers mining or handling
the coal, the prevention of undue waste
of mineral resources and other restric
tions. Flanders Wins Cup.
