They are doing so elsewhere. :o: The clamor for good roads seems to be universal throughout Nebraska. With such a sentiment predominat ing we ought to have the best roads of any stato In the union. :o: The democrats In congress, it would seem, are practically a unit on the matter of reciprocity with Cana da. Well. Is that not In accordance with democratic principles? :o: Some people In Lincoln are dis posed to look upon the capital remov ing question as a Joke. Hut they will not think It so much of a joke by the time the matter Is settled. -:o:- Tbo demand seems to be through out the country that the people be given an opportunity to vote on the capital removal question. There Is nothing wrong In trusting the people. :o: All hall the day! The legislature promises to provide that hereafter when one buys a box of strawberries he will not have to secure a gallery Mckct with It In order to be able to Cot his fruit. :o: The county option question should be settled as Boon as possible, and the legislature get down to business that really demands Its attention. Cast fanaticism to the four winds and give the people some good whole some legislation. The taxpayers are not worrying over county option. :o: Now that the Missouri capital build ing has been destroyed, we may look for another fight for Its removal to Sedalla. Hut when the question was voted on several years ago Jefferson won out over Sedalla by a big major ity. They have needed a new capital building In Missouri for a long time, and now they will have to have one. :o: Reorganization of the railway mall service by Postmaster General Hltch ' Vock may bo In the Interest of effi ciency, but those familiar with Mr. Hitchcock and his methodB suspect that it Is a part of a plan to make the mall service useful politically. Hitch rock Is simply a tool of Taft's, and that's all you can make out of him. :o: From present Indications, Nebras ka will lose- one member of congress. That was Just what was Intended we should do when the census was taken. The west to loso and the east to gain representation! Those eastern fol lows are tricky, and as long as the west elects men to congress who will vote right Into the hands of those fellows we may expoct to suck the hind teat. :o: for men who will stand up and fight for our Interests, and when you fail to find one that falls to do this, down him as "Slippery" Elmer was downed last fall. :o: Governor Plalsted, Maine's new democratic chief executive, In a re cent Interview said: "The young men of the country won't be slaves of par ties as their fathers have been. That was the one nationally significant feature of the Maine election the promise of a successful future for American government in Maine and out of It. The young men of the country can't be delivered; every party will have to make good its promises to keep their support. 'Solid' states will get more and more uncommon In the next few years." A great truth well put, as shown by the recent elections. About the only state which hung on to the old regime and the old bosses was Pennsylvania; but the leaven Is working hore.too, and emancipation Is but a matter of time. :o: The wonders of aviation are be coming almost commonplace, but It Is hardly seven years since the Wright brothers proved the possibility' of aerial navigation In heavier-than-alr machines. For three years after that they were practically the only two men In the world performing daring and unheard of feats of aviation. To day there are over COO of thoao bird men using a great number of differ ent types of machines, nearly all springing from the original Wright principle. The wonders they have performed are perhaps the greatest since electricity first came Into gen eral use. When It Is considered that all tills has been accomplished In the l short space of time of about four . years It Is not too much to expect the perfection of the aeroplane for nor mally safe passenger traffic within the next few years. :o; . The senate, In order to gain time, ordered amendments to a senate file t be prepared by the stenographers. The State Journal, which has the con tract for printing bills and amend ments, and, which dear me, no does not have Us news columns dic tated by Its Job office, spent several hundred ems Saturday morning rub bing It Into the senate for this unholy and Infelicitous method of saving time. Serves them Just exactly right. Why does a democratic legislature want to have anything to do with the Journal, anyway? :o: As long as the peopie of the went vote for men for the United States senate who play right Into the hands of the eantorn trusts and combines we may expect to be nothing more than serfs for that locality. We must awake to our own Interests before It The League of American Sports men for the Preservation of Wild Life Is sending out literature all over the country urging the enforcement of laws, where they exist, and their en action, where they do not, for the preservation of birds and game fish from wanton slaughter. The league points out that the use of the auto matic or machine gun Is largely ra sponsible for this shameful killing of the Insectivorous and snug birds, and asks that laws preventing the use of such arms for hunting be passed. They ought to be on the statute book of every state I nthe union. When to woman's pride and the dealeri cupidity Is added the bloodthirsty In stlnct of man, It will not be long till the wild bird life of the coumy will lecome practically extinct a state ot affairs which, from ,the merely utili tarian point of view, would remit In the loss of Incalculable millions to the agricultural Interests of the country :o: on the popular election of senators and It feels quite sure that it will not have time to act on the Canadian agreement, unltss forced f by the threat of a special session. It ba3 had no time to act on any measure that is In the Interest of the common people. Hut It did have time' to take up and act upon the most unpopular and In some respects the most infamous nuasurn of all the measures that were before It a measure to make a few men rich by leaving a tax on millions of men. And it did this In the face of the late election, which was at once a referendum vote against the policies which the ship subsidy typifies, and a recall of about as many of the senators who stand for those policies as the people could get at. It was desperate and impu dent embezzlement of power, commit ted by senators whom the people have repudiated, and committed be cause those senators knew that the people would have enough friends In the next congress to make the pas sage of a subsidy bill Impossible. The World-Herald unhesitatingly asserts that, once the common people fully understand the enormity In volved in this bill It will contribute quite as much to the final destruction of the republican party as will the rayne-Aldiich tariff. Both are a betrayal of trust, a flaunting of the will of the people, a pandering to "the Interests." First the republican party levies a tariff on steel, lumber and the other raw materials of the ship building so high that It is Impossible to build ships In this country and compete with ships built abroad. Then It provides that no ship built abroad can be sailed under the American (lag, even though it Is owned by Americans, manned by Americans, and serves Americans. Having made It Impossible for Americans profitably to build ships, and Impossible to acquire them and sail them as American vessels, the re publican party then comes to the front and blandly proposes that all the people be taxed, millions of dol lars annually, to raise a pot to pay over to the ship-builders In order to make profltabel a uslness which re publican policies has made unprofit able! And it uses a Sherman, a discred ited Lorimer, a discarded Depew, Kean, Dick, Burkett, to fasten this measure of robbery and oppression upon the American people! We wonder if there are still any re publicans who cannot understand why the republican party is growing unpopular? World-Herald. :o: , Lorimer Is not entitled to a seat In the United States senate, and be should be "fired" bodily. Now, in case he Is expelled, would his vote on the ship subsidy count? It ought not. :o: Will Maupin is going to start an-1 other paper In Lincoln. Since the new administration assumed the reins of government, Will ha3 been out of a Job, and being a hustler of no mean pretension, he must keep "pecking away" at something. :o: Now, as soon as the legislative In vestigating committee gets through with Omaha, why not a little of that kind of w ork In the god-and-morallty town of Lincoln? We believe they ar 111 find Just as much to Investigate in the capital city as In Omaha. :o: Soon the gasoline engine factory will be In running order, and we all feel highly elated. But let us now begin to move for something else just as beneficial to the city, or bet ter, if possible. Because we have been successful In getting this estab llshment here, it won't do to lay down work for something better. :o: The liberal government in England proposes to deprive the House of Lords of the veto power over revenue bills, and to give it a limited veto over other measures. The lords rep resent special privilege. The fight against them is an attack on the big gest privileged interests in the United Kingdom. The square deal move ment isn't confined to the United States. scribing in detail the lawful costume for women on each and every occa sion, and in Kansas one providing punishment for any adult person who destroys a child's illusion about Santa Claus Providence Evening Tribune.

The ship subsidy Is only a scheme to line the pockets of a lot of robbers, who will share their Ill-gotten gains with their tools In congress. :o: It is pretty near time for the legls lature to close down on the Introduc tion of bills, and do something that the people want. There are more bills introduced now than will ever be passed. Too many statesmen who desire to make their constituency be lieve they are the "whole cheese,' with the lobby members writing their bills. :o: The spring election in Lincoln 1 going to be a lively one.

Every voto that was cast In favor ot that brazen graft was cast by a republican senator, Including the dis credited Lorimer. Even his vote was not enough, and It was necessary to bring forward the vice president, James S. Sherman, to break tho tie and vote millions ot dollars ot the people's money out of the people's pockets and into the pockets ot the ship owners.
