THIRD TERM EFFORT.
It will probably bo good news to
President Roosevelt that the Lewis
ton , Idaho , commercial club has with
drawn Its resolution demanding that
the president reconsider his dotcrmln
aUon not to make the rnco ngnln for
the presidency. For , In the words of
Henry Wnttorson , It Is no compliment
to the president for thcso third torn
boomers to continue doubting the
president's word and thus attempting
to mnko It appear that ho was Insln
ecru when ho announced , on the night
of election , that under no circuin
stances would he bo a candidate for
or would ho accept a ronomlnntlon.
The Lowlston Commorlcal club the
other day mndo a bid for notoriety by
adopting resolutions demanding tha
the president run again. Now th
Bruno club has revoked those resol
utlons. It nppcnrs that the first set o
resolutions were drawn up by a mln
orlty of the club. When the other ;
heard of It , there was a row.
So the resolutions wore rescinded
And to those who passed them in th
first place these words fresh from th
typewritten of Henry Watterson mlgh
hnvo been referred :
The very suggestion Is an Insult t
Mr. Roosevelt , It Is an Insult , because
cause it assumes that he did not mean
what ho said the night of the election
of 1904 , nor any of the many renssor
tlons ho 1ms made since then. It 1
nn Insult because it assumes him n
false nnd treacherous friend , who pur
poses by Taft's candidacy butchery
and betrayal , and his own advantage
not a square deal. It is an insult be
cause it assumes the president no' '
only to bo a scoundrel but a fool.
TUBERCULAR CATTLE.
town's experience with tuberculosis
and milk only tends to strengthen the
argument mndo and oft repeated In
these columns that Nebraska ought to
adopt an Inspection system for the
protection of Its citizens from tuber
cular milk. The
News hns before now
expressed the opinion that the Norfolk -
folk city'council could do no more
beneflclnl thing than to provide for
local Inspection until the state gets
ready to protect Its citizens as It
should.
It hns been demonstrated In Iowa
thnt most of the tuberculosis comes
from tubercular herds of dnlry cows.
The northern hnlf of thnt state Is the
dnlry portion of the state nnd like
wise the tuborculnr portion. Iowa
will probably ennct leglslntlou nt the
next leglslntlvo session to mnko rapid
tests and to stamp out tubercular
cattle.
In Iowa there Is a society for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis.
Over a year ago that society started
out a specialist who has been lecturing
all over the state on ways of prevent
ing the disease. Ho has covered the
state and Is now lecturing a second
time In the same places. The society
has made excellent progress In fight
ing the disease. The society now an
nounces that It Is satisfied most of
the tuberculosis comes from milk of
tubercular cattle.
There Is Httlo knowledge of how
many people die In Nebraska every
year because the state takes no steps
to stamp out the tubercular cnttlo and
protect the citizens.
The most hopeful discovery made by
the Iowa society Is that the fresh air
refitment la producing good rosultn
ml most of the people sleeping out of
oorn arc recovering.

THE FARMERS' GREAT EARNINGS
Who could doubt that the United
States Is to continue In Its prcson
unequalled prosperity , In view of th
fnct that the American fnrmcr thl
yenr tins earned n thousand million
dollars more than he did a year ago
And who , Indeed , would covet n
monopoly on the world's oil supply
or thread supply , so long as the flel

Independence , health , happiness an
tlio respect of one's neighbors upon

According to a preliminary roper
on the present season's crops , whlcl
will bo published In the next Issue o
tlio American Agriculturist , the Amer
Icnn fnrmer hns enrned this yea

wo all thought ho was doing pretty
well last year.
The Increased earnings of the farm
are due not to an Increase In crop
production , for the crops are estimate
at ton per cent less this year than last ,
but to the Increased prices for over
commodity which tlio farmer 1ms fo

sale.And
And so It Is apparent , from the fac
that the crop Is less but the earning
greater than a year ago , that after al
this general prosperity Is being ovenl
distributed. Contrary to the outer
of the demagogues , every class of clt-
Izen In the United States is getting

When the farmer Is prosperous , th

the American farmer Is going to b

It IB no wonder that the bank do-

iBtory. It Is no wonder that the
titterings of Wall street nro having

This report of the farm's great

A WORD FROM BANCROFT.
The aftermath of the Bancroft lynch
ng , which took place Monday morning
of the pnst week , has developed the
fact thnt a good many more people
approve the hanging because of past
axlty of the law In Nebraska , than dis
approve It. Omaha papers nnd the
Lincoln Journal demanded that the
lynchors bo hunted down nnd punish
ed for flist degree murder. But those
lynchcrs will never bo punished. Public
sentiment ns a general thing too
strongly upholds them In their mob
violence for the reason that nlrcndy
too many brutal murders In Nebraska
have gene unpunished. The murder
of his entire family by Rash , the fiend
who was acquitted on nn Insanltj
plea and who was dismissed from the
Norfolk hospital because ho was no
Insane , is but nn Instance. Many
people believing Mrs. Llllle guilty o
the murder of her husband point to
her pardon ns an example of how mob
violence finally broke out.
The Lincoln Journal severely cen
sured the lynching nnd demanded tha
the lynchors be punished. Rev. Byron
Beall of that city answered the editor
lal and defended the lynching , In vlev
of present conditions In Nebraska. The
fnct Is referred to ns Indicating the
sentiment of many classes.
Of Interest , too , because It comes
from a Bancroft mnn In the midst o
things , Is this letter written to the
Omaha Bee , In reply to n Bee editor
ial :
Now thnt the excitement of the re
cent lynching hero hns pnssed away , a
few words from one who was Innocent
of any knowledge of the act before
hand might cause you to direct your
editorials where they may easily do
more good.
I am fully convinced now thnt Hlg-
gins would hnvo been lynched no mat
ter what prepnution wns tnken. He
was shadowed from the time he left
the Omaha jail until he reached Ban
croft , nnd hnd nny resistance been
offered It would have meant more
lives lost for the sake of a brute with
a criminal career.
The trouble Is the costs to this coun
ty. It hns over been thus. Just one
mnn In recent yenrs arrested In this
locality , no matter what the charge ,
has been , held for trial and received
a sentence. That man wns sent up for
six yenrs. He served two , was paroled
by Governor Mickey and skipped the
J country In a few days. This Is an
other reason for the lynching.
I was born In Cumlng county In the
early ' 70's. When a boy my mother
often told mo about staying alone ,
and for days seeing nothing but In
dians going past on the warpnth , but
never wns there a time In the early
days when the law was so badly Ig
nored ns the present. Is It any won
der the people are rising up ?
I stood on the depot platform , saw
the train slow down thnt carried the
lad with a criminal career on his last
life's journey , but returned to my of
fice before there were any signs of a
mob , nnd am thankful for whnt I did
not see. I regret from the bottom of
my henrt that this blot upon our fnlr
community was necessary , but now
that the deed is done wo can not agree
that the "lynchors bo punished. " Far
fro .n It. If I had seen a masked man
and "ould positively Identify him , I
would accept a jail sentence for con
tempt of court rather than testify
against thnt mnn.
Will the editor of The Bee inform
us whnt per cent of those who were
charged with murder in Nebraska dur
ing the last six yenrs hnd to pay the
penalty with their lives ? Is It not a
fact that If Hlgglns had been given a
rlnl the chances are 100 to 1 agnlnst
mnglng ?
The fnctfl are wo have lost confi-
lenco In Juries. If you have the money
oti can get any evidence for n crlm-
nal you want. If you do happen to
convict him n way of escape Is made
easy cither through the penitentiary
> r the supreme court.
There IB not half the talk hero over
ho lynching that there Is over the
irtlcles appearing in the Sioux City
Tribune , and there Is good prospects
! ' f a libel suit. Those who happened
o bo around town Monday and read
the Tribune Tuesday evening were
simply disgusted to the utmost
It IB conceded by nil thnt The Bee
? ave the facts ns ncnr ns could be
Ivcn. There was no manufactured
'stuff" to Bell ; Its editorials have been
ess radical , but wo still oppose pun-
shlng n single mnn for doing what our
courts ought to have accomplished
eng ago. E. J. Burke.
The stale deplores a lynching. No
doubt Bancroft people deplore It as
much as anybody else.
But the state , if lynchlngs are to bo
avoided , must punish the criminals.
That's nil there Is to it.
THE PRIMARY "A LEMON. "
From all corners of northern Neb
raska como reports of dissatisfaction
with the now statewide primary law ,
and demands for the law's repeal. The
system has been tried and has been
,
found wanting In many respects. The
prlmay has not , In practical operation ,
made good the promises of the framers
who claimed for It a mighty reform.
One of the prime objections to the
statewide prlmnry system ns Just tried
out In Nebraska is the burden of ex
pense to the taxpayers. The cost to
each county will bo as much or moro
than the cost of a regular November
election , nnd the tnxpnyers must pny
the bill. The tnxpnyers nro usually
willing to pay the cost on public 1m
provoments but If the straw shows
which way the wind blows , there Is a
pretty well defined feeling that the
now system hns not nfforded the re-
form thnt wns assured.
The theory of the primary law waste
to tnko political nomination out of the
control of "ring" politicians. The
Idea was that In n statewide primary
nomination system , giving every veteran
an opportunity to cast his ballot for
whom ho might desire there would be
freer expression of the choice of the
public at largo ; that political trades
would be laid up in the hospital and
that better men would bo nominated
than under the old system of caucus.
But back of It all , the framers of
this t primary law seemed to forget
that t the public at large could control
the nominations just as simply ant ]
easily under the caucus system as under
dor the primary ; and perhaps moro
so. For under the caucus plan every
voter has n perfect right to attend the
preliminary caucuses and to tnko a
part In naming the dellgatcs who shall
attend larger conventions for the pur
pose of making nominations. And by
helping to send dellgntes pledged to
thl'3 candidate or that , the public at
large under the old caucus system
was able to control the final nomln
e
ation just as effectively , If not more
so , than under this statewide prlmnry
The experience of Tuesday In Neb
rnska has demonstrated thnt people
who refuse to turn out at n caucus to
select delegates to a convention , will
likewise refuse to turn out and vote
nt n prlmnry election. It Is hard for
a state to force Indifferent citizens by
legislation to tnke a part In the prl
mnry political affairs of the commun
ity , if those citizens are not disposed
In the first place to exercise this pri
vilege ,
And so , Instend of forcing the great
masses of voters who formerly paid
little or no attention to the making of
party tickets , to take n hand under the
primary system , Nebraska has nppar-
ently been handed n lemon which af
fords no mnterlnl fundnnientnl change
but which adds very considerably to
the burden of the alrendy heavily bur
dened taxpayers.
And In many ways , the new system
has worked to the Injury of the great
masses of people Instead of to their
betterment. Under the new primary
system n county's power In helping to
nominate a state candldnto depends
nltogether upon how mnny of that
county's voters turn out on prlmnry
election day nnd put their pencil
marks upon the ballots. Under the
old caucus system a county wns en
titled to a certain voting power In the
selection of candidates , that power
being based upon the number of party
votes that the county could muster nt
election time. The new plnn , ns Is
readily seen In the result of Tuesdny's
prlmnry , hns plnced certain portions
of the commonwealth under the dicta
torial rule of certnln other portions
and has , Instend of wiping out "ring"
rule , renlly crented a great big voting
rnnchlno In the larger cities which can
absolutely crush the rural communities
of the stnto so far as their voice In
the nomination of stnto officers Is con-
corned. For the fnrmlng portions of
the stnto did not Tuesday and will not
a year from now , go to the polls ; the
cities flock to the ballot boxes nnd
thus swing the result. Whether by
malicious Intent or not , the framers
of this prlmnry law plnced the primary
election day right In the midst of the
'armor's ' busy season nnd It la not to

strength will over , at this time of year ,
10 manifest In the primary ballot. On
the other hand , however , the city chap
who has merely to step around the
corner to vote on his way homo at
light , will take advantage of the bal
lot ns n sort of novelty , nnd will ef
fectually silence the voice from out In
the country. This complaint thnt the
cities hnvo been given absolute con
trol of things political by the primary
Is berne out by the vote. Reports
from Omaha and Lincoln show that
"a hcnvy vote wns cast , " Reports
from all smaller towns and country
precincts , on the contrary , show that
"an exceedingly light vote was cast. "
In Norfolk about 175 votes were cnst
nltogether , while the town's voting
strength Is about 1,000. In Crclghton
only thlrty-flvo votes were cast and In
smaller towns five and six ballots
only.
only.And
And thcso are but types of the re
ports which have como from all sec
tions ! , proving that the primary has
created a "ring" rule by throwing the
nomination of state candidates Into
the cities.
The idea that political trades are 1m-
possible under the primary , Is another
preposterous feature. It is ridiculous
to presume that there can bo no under
standing among communities which
will bring about the same political
barters that are complained of under
the ' convention system.
And another unsatisfactory feature
that has been brought out is demon
stratcd by the Bassctt Instance In
which n well known democrat went to
the ' polls nnd voted the republican
ticket. By concerted voting In the
ranks of another party , n few voters
could easily succeed In nominating a
weak candidate on the opposite side
fin the purpose of Insuring his defeat
and the defeat of his party with him.
A law tlmt allows such trickery is on
the wrong track.
It Is nil well and good to seek out
systems which will put the best men
In ' ' office nnd which will put down
"ring" rule. But It might ns well bo
recognized that the primary Is not and
will not be effective In eliminating
tricks to control politics , so long as
politics has to deal with human na
ture. And In seeking to wrest party
control from factions or "machines , "
it ' might ns well be recognized first as
last that the public at large had full
sway over the old caucus system , If It
chose to exercise Its rights , and without -
out the ndded burden of another elec
tlon's expense thrust upon It every
year.

No state In the union , has yet found
a primary system that was satlsfac
tory. Apparently Nebraska has not
solved the problem. And meanwhile
the taxpayers of the state are paying
pretty denrly for their experiment.
