SOME STATE POLITICAL NOTES
Not the least amusing spectacle in this remarkable campaign is
that warring republicans explaining just what brand of republican
ism they wear Bull Moose, Steam Roller or Stock Ticker. Among
the prominent "progressive" leaders are some of the men who were
the most expert machine operators under the old order of things.

On July 20 wheat was quoted at 93 cents in Winnipeg and 90
cents in Kansas City. The distance between "Winnipeg and Kansas
City and the Liverpool market is practically the same, with Winni
peg favored in rates because of a longer water haul. American
wheat growers are "protected" against the pauper wheat of Canada
by a tariff of 25 cents a bushel. Puzzle : Why is the unprotected
wheat of Canada selling for more at Winnipeg than the protected
wheat of the United States is selling at Kansas City? AVill some
advocate of a high protective tariff please answer.
The measure of devotion to the Aldrieh candidacy is to be
decided, evidently, by the amount of constitutional amendment pie he
dishes out. The organs getting the big slices are unanimous in the
opinion that Aldrieh is the best ever. Those that get nothing appar
ently can not find words whereby to express their opinion.
Col. Roosevelt indignantly denies that the big trusts contributed
to the republican national committee in 1904 and 1908. They mere
ly contributed to republican state committees for the purpose of
helping to elect the republican electors.
Of course the organs designated by Governor Aldrieh to publish
the proposed amendments will not undertake to explain the troubles
arising at the state prison under the Aldrieh administration. Neither
will they explain the troubles at the Soldiers' Home at Milford,
nor the scandal at the Beatrice institute for the feeble minded, where
a mulatto baby was born to a white girl committed to the tender
mercies of the state; nor the reason why the per capita cost of
maintaining state institutions has been fearfully increased; nor the
mulcting of Aldrieh appointees from $2 to $5 each to defray the
expenses of the Aldrieh campaign; nor why the state's finances have
been so badly managed that under the Aldrieh regime state war
rants had to be registered for future payment, and for the first time
in sixteen years; nor the reason for the purchase of so much liquor
for use at the state prison nor many other things that sadly need
explanation. As a matter of fact, the distribution of constitutional
amendment pie is well calculated to minimize all reference to these
subjects in the columns of the designated organs.
If rushing into print one day and denying the interview the
next, or espousing one thing today and another tomorrow, or con
stantly fulminating against those who refuse to support him, or
neglecting public duties to grandstand and pose at Chautauqua
if it requires these things to make a man a "progressive," then John
H. Morehead is not a progressive. But if to advocate and fight for
the interests of the people, to espouse the reforms demanded by the
people, to give of time and money and energy to advance the prin
cipls that the common people seek to enact into law, makes a man
a "progressive," then John H. Morehead fills the bill.
'
Much is being said about the famous "reform" legislature of
1907. That session did enact some good laws the best of them not
having been endorsed by the majority party but endorsed by the
minority party. And all of these reform laws were the direct result
of the agitation and education of populists and democrats, in con
trast with the opposition and indifference of republican managers.
The greatest reform ever secured in this state, and the one that
is really the father of all the rest, was secured during the sessions of
the first anti-republican legislature ever elected in Nebraska. That
was the session of 1891, and the parent reform was the Australian
ballot law. The only progressive liquor legislation enacted in a
quarter of a century was enaeted by a democratic legislature. The
first tax reform measure in twenty years was enacted by a demo
cratic legislature. The first legislation in twenty years favorable to
the workers in mills and factories and upon public buildings was
enacted by a democratic legislature. A democratic legislature gave
us the initiative and referendum, the Oregon plan of electing United
States senators and the first reduction in the state 's indebtedness and
tax rate. Compared with this record the record of the much vaunted
session of 1907 sinks into insignificance.
The governor has the appointment, either in person or by proxy,
of about 800 servants of the state. Governor Aldrieh is asking each
one of them for $3 to assist in his campaign. Three times 800 is
$2,400. This, added to a $50,000 constitutional pie fund makes a
sizeable campaign fund of $52,400. But even that is not enough to
cause the people to overlook the unbusiness record of the Aldrieh
administration.
LINCOLN'S POPULAR RESORT.
The popularity of Capital Beach as an amusement and picnic
resort is evidenced by the fact that scarcely a day goes by that
there is not some big picnic dated there. The Butchers and
Grocers, the Moose, the Woodmen and others are dated for the
near future. The resort was never in more beautiful shape, the
attractions never better. It is an ideal place to spend a holiday, and
the growing attendance proves that the fact is becoming better
known every day.
HAVELOCK'S GALA DAYS.
There will be some big doings in Havelock on August 16 and
17. Ball games, acrobatics, vaudeville and flying machines; every
thing to amuse the people. Robert G. Fowler, the noted aviator,
will make several flights in his aeroplane. All of these attractions
are free to the people, and Havelock invites everybody to come.
When Havelock starts out to do anything she always scores a. suc
cess, and people who attend these gala day celebrations will enjoy
themselves to the full. 4
THE BETHANY SPIRIT.
We commend the "Bethany spirit" to some other communities
not a thousand miles from the rattle of our trenchant typewriter.
We confess to a warm admiration for the hustle and enterprise dis
played by the citizen of that suburb of Lincoln. Bethany is a uni
versity town, peopled by families who want their children educated.
But they want to do business, and they do it. They wanted better
street railway connection with Lincoln, so they went down into
their pockets and dug up the money to pay for it. They objected to
the methods of the telephone company, but instead of spending their
time in kicking and complaining they began preparations for build
ing a telephone exchange of their own. They decided that they
wanted a system of waterworks, so they built one without any fuss
and feathers.
When Bethany people make up their minds that they need
something to boost the town and benefit the public, they just get
together, and lo, the thing is done. When the new street railway'
connection is completed and travel made easy, we expect to , see
Bethany's building boom take on startling proportions. .
Don't be deceived about this "third party" movement,' gentle
men. It is the visible evidences of a growing revolt against the
political. boss and his henchmen. It is not going to win this year,
nor maybe not next year. But win it will unless the old parties
forever and absolutely dethrone their bosses. Progressive democra-,
cy won at Baltimore, but the margin was small, and "democracy
can not always hope to win for progression by the valiant fight of
one man. The progressive party now organizing is more than a
Roosevelt boom. Roosevelt is but the embodiment of a growing
feeling of antagonism to present conditions.
Yes, gentlemen of Nebraska, Will Maupin's Weekly is willing
to sing the praises of this commonwealth from week to week, but
quite a lot of you will have to come forward with the accompani
ment pretty soon or our voice will be strained beyond recovery. -The
sound of jingling dollars is the kind of music we want to ,
accompany our melodious voice when we lift it in praise of
