Let’s see, next fall is the congress
ional campaign. About time to or
ganize some new sort of government
ownership clubs.
A man may become superanuated,
but he is in trim for new matrimonial
experiences most any time. John L
Sullivan, having divorced i lie wife of
his youth, has just taken a bride.
There are some five or six democrat
ic aspirants for the Nebraska senator
ial toga. It remains to be seen
whether the democratic preachments
of a fair field for ail or the machine
tactics will prevail.
The publisher of the World-Herald
has not shown any indications of
retiring from the contest for the
senate because his paper opposes the
furttier existence of the "American
house of lords,” or for other reasons.
Commenting on a new appointment
on the board of management of the
state schools for the blind and deaf,
lately made by Governor Shallenberg
er, tiie Bee notes it was a democrat,
and adds: "The cry of nonpartisan
ship emenates from democraticsources
only wiien It can be used to get a
place occupied by a republican vacated
in favor of a democrat."
President Diaz of Mexico has come
into momentary prominence through
his somewhat sensational order to his
men to blow up their vessel with all
on board if Americans attempted to
take from them the notorious Zeyala
who is to find refuge In the Mexican
capitol. This may be the Mexican
idea of heroism, but It sounds more
like an order from the king to commit
suicide.
For some sufficient reason the rail
roads have not attempted in this state
to knock out the 2-cent passenger law
enacted by the last republican legis
lature, athough In nearly all other
states where similar laws were en
acted the law has been either declared
unconstitutional or tied up in court,
the last to enter the list being Okla
homa. Is the Nebraska law so framed
that railroads believe that an attack
upon It would be futile?
The date on the calendar does not
matter. The earth starts every morn
ing on its year-long journey round the
sun as truly as on the first day of Jan
uary, says the Youth’s Companion,
and each new dawn is therefore a fresh
opportunity to begin right. It is for
us to determine what the year shall
be. The demand upon us is not that
we shall succeed, but only that we try;
and to try manfully every day and all
day long is inevitably to attain in the
end supreme success.
Internationally perhaps the most
important gathering of recent years
was held the past week at Baltimore,
Md., when there was organized the
American Society for the Settlement
of International disputes, The socie
ty proposes to conduct a campaign of
education throughout the world and
show that the peace of the world may
be maintained by an international
court where points of dispute between
nations shall be amendable to judicial
review the same as differences between
individuals. The movement has the
support of leading men of this coun
try, including President Taft and
members of his cabinet. No doubt a
vast majority of the inhabitants of
the earth would prefer no more wars,
but the power of arms has been the
court of last resort throughout the
ages and no adequate substitute has
yet been found, largely because it is
an inherent principle of human na
ture for a man to tight for what he
considers his rights. If an internation
al court should develop from the pres
ent movement, it should be made a
part of the agreement that the armies
of all nations be mustered out of
service and the navies turned into
merchant fleets.
Tlie Brown County Democrat is op
posed to tlie “special agent’’ syst m
now in vogue in the government land
service and thinks homesteaders are
being harassed beyond reason. The £
picture the democrat draws may lie a
little exagerated, but there is cousii'- f
erable truth in ic just the same, in 1
speaking of the homesteader making
final proof after five years’ residence,
the Democrat continues: “Then a| —
pears upon the scene that wondeiful i
creation of the interior department,
a special agent. The latter ‘investi
gates’ the case, nine times out of ten
seeking out the known enemies of the i
homesteader and collects ‘evidence’ j
of them. The homesteader and his I
friends are not sought. When the 1
contest is heard those present get a
life sized view of ‘justice’ as dealt
out by the special envoy of this great
and glorious government. The man
whose claim is contested, must stand
all the expense of his defense while j
Uncle Sam pays the expense of tlie
contestant. A few minutes in the
court room will convince tlie most
skeptical that the whole thing resemb
les a farce. The agent devotes his
time bulldozing and badgering the
homesteader and Jii.s witnesses. In a
recent contest held here tlie man
whose claim was in question was kept
on tlie witness stand for eight hours,
while the special agent ranted and
roared, raged, swore and otiierwi.se
conducted himself like a bully. To
listen to his rantings one would be led
to ttiink tlie homesteader had com
mitted murder. Thus does Uncle Sam
tender a square deal to men who seek
to make homes for themselves. The
government is certainly in big business
when it takes up one side of a neigh
borhood quarrel, as it has done on in
numerable occasions in Brown county,,
and the sooner it ties a can to some of
its special agents the sooner condi
tions will be bettered.” i
