If the republicans had decided In

Some of the democratic brethren
have evidently mlRRod their cue In
regardto the program of their party
regarding the now republic of Pana
ma and Its prompt recognition by the
United States government. They
seem Inclined to jubilate with the
common run of Americans over the
prospect that the Isthmian canal IH
now likely to bo completed , when the
loadorn of their party desire It to
ho strlcetly understood that the In
dependence of Panama , the recogni
tion of the republic by tills govern
ment and the prospect for an early
agreement whereby the construction
of the canal can hogln Is anything
hut right and proper. Theoso who
have therefore gone abend and shot
off their mouths or permitted their
real sentiment to direct their pens
either bo compelled to crnwllsh grace
fully or Bhow that they are not In har
mony wth their party on at least ono
question. In the future they should
ho careful not to permit their oxhu-
boronco to got the hotter of their dis
cretion and should wait until their
leaders have had time to Inform them
on the true democratic position on
public question. ? .
It Is announced from Washington
that the democrats will oppose nn >
canal treaty with Panama , and the
members of that party express the
belief that they will muster votes
enough to defeat such a treaty with
the now republic. In taking such a
a position the democratic senators
will undoubtedly have the endorse
ment , and the assistance If necessary
of every trans-continental line of
railway In the country and all of the
companies Interested In trans-contl
nental tratllc. These roads are the
largo interests In opposition to the
Isthmian cainl. and there Is snbstan
tlal ground for the belief that It was
their Influence that defeated the ca
nal treaty In the Colombian congress
If , therefore , they can secure the ah
of the democrats In defeating nego
tlatlons with Panama they will ho
highly gratltled , beyond a doubt
How the democrats will make It rlgh
with the people who will bo bonollttet
by closer trade relations and cheaper
rates between the Atlantic and the
Pacific Is a matter for conjecture
and that they will shortly bo dodging
the position they have taken is a
well founded belief with many re
publicans.

Carrie Nation on the stage Is the

A bill has been introduced in congress -

none too high for the man who braves
all sorts of weather and provides his
own conveyance to furnish the farm
ers with their mall. At this salar >
the rural routes may not bo profitable
to the postolllco department , but that
Is no reason that the govornmen
should ask men to work for a more

It is apparent that the democratic
editors are convinced that the rocog
nltlon of Panama as a republic was
just as serious a breach of govern
mental honor , as was the failure o
the American government to ntonco
grant Independence to the Filipinos
If the democrats had been in powo
It Is possible that they would have
sent a message of congratulation
with all speed to Agulnaldo , am
stood for the Independence of his

have said , "Scrap It out , old man

NEIHIASKA WANTS STATESMEN.
The Indictment of Charles II. Dlot-
Ich , Nebraska's senior rcprcsonln-
Ivo In the United States senate , by
ho federal grand jury In session at
Omaha , on three counts charging
ilm with bribery in connection with
ho Hastings postofllco Is n serious
natter , whether ho is proven guilty
r not. It brings Into bold and start
ing relief that nt least the state Islet
lot ably represented In the senate of
ho country. With few exceptions It
eoniH to hnvo boon the policy of the
tate to send men having abundant
) olltlcal pull , rather than men of
eal ability who might develop states-
nanshlp that would have the admlra-
Ion of the country nt largo.
Nebraskans linvo looked with ad-
nlratlon on the records of such men
IB nialno , Hoar , Allison , Cockrell ,
Morgan , Platte , Halo , Fry , Aldrlch ,
} ullom and others who have boon
lonored by their respective states
line and again , and who , by their
vise and judlclqus statesmanship
iavo boon the admiration of the peo-
) lo of the entire country. Nobrnskn
ins never been represented by such
men. Manderson gave fair service ,
> ut never proved n. statesman to at-
ract the attention of the country ;
vhon Thurston was chosen ho was
thought to be the very sort of man
who was needed by the state for the
ilgh ofllco , but ho proved n lament-
iblo failure. Allen perhaps approach
ed nearer the desire of the people
than any man the state over chose ,
Hit unfortunately ho was on the
wrong sldo of the political fence to
mnko his efforts count and was ex-
; > cctcd to support the vagaries of
ils party. As it was ho kept the
state before the public and the same
might bo said of IJrynn when ho was
In congress. They had real ability
and the push and vigor necessary M
urge the questions they championed
on the attention of congress and the
people.
It Is true that Dietrich was a ser :
of accidental choice , rising to iho
position through a scries of accidents ,
but that should not excuse the people
ple and the makers of candidates
from exercising care in the future
that men of worth should bo named.
Dietrich was named for governor
when there was thought to bo no
chance of electing a republican to
the position and at the same time
Savage was named for the lieutenant
governorship. Neither had the abil
ity required for the positions , but
they wore willing to make the race
and the delegates to the convention
were agreeable and they won out
Then when it came to choosng a
senator , Governor Dietrich was a
sort of compromise choice and was
elected.
The time has come , however , when
good strong men should be placed in
the high olllces men who may be
trusted , men of high moral tone
men of ability , men who will make
themselves and their state name and
fame , and wo have them. They ma >
not have the "pull" necessary to ele
vate them to office but the" people
should insist that they be selectee'
out and elected. Our own W. M
Robertson is such a man , but unfor
Innately perhaps , ho is located In a
town and section of the state from
which was chosen at the last elec
lion a judge of the supreme court
Socttonallsts will say that this part
of the state has had all that Is Its
due , disregarding the fact that Nebraska
braska needs a Robertson , regardless
of where ho lives or what party be
represents. Ho has ability , Is broadminded -
minded and level-headed , and with
him on the floor of the senate ho
would bo heard from and Nebraska
would have a now place in the esti
mation of statesmen and the people
of the country. Ho has opinions on
public questions and is not afraid to
express them and furthermore can
make his points in a manner that will
appeal to his hearers.
Then there Is Congressman Burkett ,
who has been mentioned for the po
sition. Ho has given capable service
In congress and is a young man who
may develop the statesmanship that
will bring them high in the ranks of
statesmen. Mr. Burkett would bo a
vast Improvement over anyone who
has lately represented Nebraska in
the senate.
Edward Rosewater is another who
would ably represent the state and
see to it that Nebraska was kept on
the map In the opinion of bis com
patriots and the people of the country
at largo. He has the qualities of a
statesman , and 'above that ho has the
goahcadltlveness and the vigor that
would make the state recognized. It
Is realized that ho has woodsfull of
onomles , but it is mainly because of
his independence and assertive ways.
Ho is not dearly loved in any part
of the state , because ho bows to no
man or sot of men , but bo Is the kind
of n man who would represent the
state and bo recognized on the floor
of the senato.
There may bo and undoubtedly nro
other men in other parts of the state
Proverbs > -
"When the butter won't :

proverb. It often seems to-
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried

gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul
sion.
It is like the penny in th& \

because there is something

Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphitesy
especially prepared for delicate- ' 7
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste-
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
