C. , June 23. That President Koosevelt's actions in the Bowen-Loomis and Paul Morton affairs have placed him on a lower plane of public service and devotion to ideals is the con sensus of expression in eastern newspapers of all shades of politi cal opinion. The president is acceped by edi torial and news writers alike , by public men and people at large , as having white-washed Loomis and Morton in a fashion which even the best friends of the administra tion make no attempt to defend. The developments of these twin scandals have been followed with deepest interest. It is not too much to say that the president's action in both cases was fully ex- j pected , but in neither was it ex pected that he would base his ac tion on so weak a statement of facts and reason. J. C. Welliver in Sioux City Tribune. An Kh-ction riiixVar. . The supreme court has declared the biennial elections law violative of the constitution. Public senti ment in Nebraska , which v overwhelmingly in .favor of the law , must bow to that decree. Instead of being able to devote the summer and fall to a calm and thoughtful discussion and study of public questions , free from the heat of partisanship , the people of the state must prepare for the an nual plunge into politics. The earnest consideration for the best means of remedying glaring evils that afliict the state , which , in the past few months , has been pro ductive of much good , will shortly be asked to give way to the de mands of the party. The fact , while it cannot be helped , is to be deplored. The World-Herald feels , how ever , that partisanship does not appeal as strongly to Nebraskans as it did a few years ago. Public sentiment is crystalizing in a de mand for relief from heavy burd ens and intolerable impositions , and not even the heat of political campaign will be able to dissipate that sentiment or undo the pro gress that has been made. V i It is to be hoped that the citi 1 zens of Nebraska , whatever their party affiliations , who are earnest in their desire for reform , will manifest their earnestness even in this off-year election. Let them attend their primaries ; let them send good , clean men to their con ventions ; let them scrutinize the t standing of applicants for place upon their tickets , and demand some other qualification beside the railroad O. K. If they will do this they will get the most good out of a campaign they would gladly and might profitably have avoided. Our sympathies to the people of ' the First district. Thanks to the hoggishness of Senator Burkett last fall , in demanding election to , two offices at the same time , they > are called upon to suffer two cam ; paigns in one year. One will tread upon the other's heels. It's . tough on the First district but then Elmer Jacob Burkett had to be taken care of , regardless of the convenience of the people. World Herald. . .

World- Herald. Old Timers at Dead wood Be wildered by Reform. Dead wood , S. D. , June 2i. Old timers in Lead and Dead wood are wondering if they are hearing and seeing things aright. , For nearly thirty years they have been accustomed to the wide open saloons with its crowd of miners and prospectors making life gay around the gambling tables and bar. Now they see the games of chance removed , screens down from the windows of the sa loons , chairs and tables cleared out and all seems new to the lookeron. Some say it is a spasmodic re form movement of the anti-saloon people which will last a month or so and then the "lid will come off. " World-Herald.
