Governor Mickey came to the conclu
sion tliat there was some sort of "mor
tal error" In that bill to outlaw the
Christian Scientists. The doctors who
pushed it through the legislature were
not only a disgrace to the profession,
but this "most literate state in the
union."
War seems to dominate the mind of
Roosevelt at all times. He never
makes a speech, and he averages one
or two a day, without beginning or
ending with war. If he talks to a
mother's congress, he must tell them
that the raising of children has a good
deal to do with war. If he talks to
doctors, war is the main thing. ' There
Is. not a subject from bearing and be
getting children to building canals that
Roosevelt has not discussed, and al
ways he begins or ends with war. He
seems to live and move and have his
being in dreams of war.
Of all the sneaking grafts that have
been perpetrated during the last year,
that congressional junket to the Phil
ippines at the expense of the poor Fil
ipinos is the most disreputable. The
congressmen are to take their wives.
their cousins and their aunts and the
expenses are to be taxed out of the Fil
ipinos and paid by the Philippine gov
ernment. That-is a little lower down
than congressmen ever got before;
The Filipinos can not help themselves.
There is a United States army ovei
there to see to .it that the natives put
up the money.
. Italy has been making a revenue
from her postofflce system. The cheap
est charge on a letter is about five
cents and on a postal card three cents,
There is at present an insistent de
mand for reform. There is in prin
ciple no difference in raising revenue
from the postofflce than Trom govern
ment railroads and most of the contU
nental countries do that. It is a very
unfair way of raising taxes and ho gov
-ernment should ever adopt it.
The republican dailies and weeklies
that have been assaulting the legisla
ture are already preparing to be "regu
lar". and supports the same old lot of
grafters next.yme. The State Journal
d its last Sunday issue, in speaking
of the legislature, says: "Viewing the
subject broadly it seems that substau
tial progress? has been made toward
cleaner politics and better government
in Nebraska." Think of that! And so
soon too! i
When it conies to electing gover
nors out in Colorado, votes are not
taken into consideration at all. If the
corporations want some -other man
than those voted for, they simply in
stall him in. office and that ends it
The people submit for it won't do to
"disturb business." The patient stu
pidity of the- people of Colorado is
something wonderful. The corpora
tions, allow them all the liberty that
they are capable of. enjoying.
About this time Of the year the edi

an almost unc&ntrollable impulse to go
back to the farm and plant things!
That is' a moralizing and tranquilizing
occupation. Watching germinatin

power evidently considered that Mr.

it difficult to "control" the railroads.
Wealth increases much faster than
population, but it falls into the hands
of the few. Is that the result of nat
ural law with which the people can not
interfere, or is it the result of unjust
aws and conventions of society?
Which is it? Are you going to do any
thing about it? ,
The great dailies moralize a great
deal about the wickedness of Addicks
and his corruption of voters in Dela
ware, but the investigation made there
by Kennan and others show that, the
other side, the godly republicans, buy
votes and practice the same corrupt-
ng methods that Addicks dees. He is
just as good as the men who are fight
ing him.
In spite of the Nebraska legislature,
a man in this state still, has the lib
erty to name his own executioner. He
can place that work in the hands Of an
aleopath, homeopath, osteopath, Chris
tion scientist or mental healer, or he
can just die in the natural way without
the assistance of any of them.
It takes half of the. exports of the

Hardly a week passes now without
some event taking place to encourage
reformers some victory1 somewhere
for Jeff ersohian democracy. Populists
have long contended that the referen
