president of the whole country. As
president he would bo president for

The commissioner of public works
In Chicago in a recent report of his
Investigations of public buildings
bridges , water pipes and conduits
says that electricity Is eating away
much of the iron and steel founda

This Is a decidedly unsafe condition
of affairs. Hero Is the opportunity

According to its own newspapers
Italy has 200,000 people who live in
straw huts because they are too pee
to afford houses. It has not a suffl
cient supply of drinking water , It
system of sewerage Is inadequate
100,000 have died recently for lack of
proper food , CO percent are Illiterate
and 500,000 are annually forced to
leave the country because they can t-
not make a living there. This Is the
dark side of beautiful Italy. Her pee- ,
pie cannot live on the grand scenery
and the works of old masters.
President Taft has announced his
Alaskan policy , it Is not a new policy
but rather a renewal of former recom-
mendations to congress. The coal
lands are to be leased , much upon the
terms used by Canada. Alaska is not
to bo bottled up nor denied the bene
fits of Its resources , neither is it to
be exploited by capital on the rule
of all the traffic will bear. It Is to be
realized that the people have some
rights In the wealth of this vast terri
tory , and these rights will be recog
nized.
When the price of coffee took Its :
. hist upward soar we were informed
that it was because the crop was poor
and the supply was consequently In
adequate. Now , when It was suggest
ed that a tariff of 5 cents a pound be
tacked onto the present very high
Xprice of this household necessity , It
[ has been discovered that a few inter-
ests have stored away In warehouses
in the great cities , hundreds of mil
lions of pounds of coffee , all of which
they would bo able to sell at an In-
creased profit of 5 cents a pound if
the tariff was raised. It is said that
moro than 5,000,000 bags of coffee
are being withheld from consumption ,
and the price is going up in spite of
an exceptionally good crop.
STEPHENS' ATTACK ON TAFT.
In assailing President Taft for the
Panama canal project , charging that
tlio whole thing Is a graft executed
by the president and the corpora
tions , Dan V. Stephens Is doing moro
to make a Joke of himself than to
gain confidence of the voters of the
Third congressional district of No-
braska.
The Delden Progress says that Mr.
Stephens delivered an address In that
town In which ho assailed President
Taft and the whole republican admin
istration , especially the Panama ca
nal project , and stated the whole
thing was a "big graft executed loy >
Taft and the corporations. " '
Every schoolboy , of course , knows
that the Panama canal project was
begun by Theodore Roosevelt when
ho was president and that this was
one of the greatest achievements of
the Roosevelt administration. Every
schoolboy knows that President Taft
hat * been carrying on the work of
building the canal with the greatest
zeal and that when completed this
big ditch will bo one of the most Im
portant factors In American com-
lorce. It IH equally well known that
ho 1 big corporations were opposed to
ho canal because they saw In It a
owcrful rival to the railroads for
ranscontlnental freight business. If
) un Stephens has made the discovery
hut President Taft Is a grafter , then
o owes It to the world to produce
ho evidence upon which ho bases his
crloua accusation. Until ho produces
iroof the public may well set It down
political clap trap.
BAITING THE UMPIRE.
The warning administered by the
Vational Baseball commission to John
McGraw , manager of the Now York
ilants , and the fine Imposed on Base-
nan Fred Merklo for kicking at Urn-
) lro Connolly's decisions , shows some
disposition to Interfere With the na >
tonal sport of baiting the umpire.
The attitude of tlio bleachers to
ivard the umpire has been compared
with that of the Spanish crowd that
flocks on holidays to sco the vlcltlni
) f the bull fight. Some have ever
suggested that the reason for adding
i second umpire to watch bases was
not so much to cover the decisions
nero accurately , but that the crowi
lomnnded a second umpire to worry
lust as the crowd at a Spanish bul
fight wants a couple of bulls.
It Is further alleged that though the
victim at the bull fight Is not bourn
by any code of rules and Is provldei
with a couple of horns which ho can
use effectively , the umpire is held
down by a code of two score regula
tions.
Moro seriously , figures were nt onetime
time compiled showing that In the
season of 1909 , 355 cases wore report
ed In the newspaper where physical
violence upon an umpire was attempt
ed , for the crlmo of making decisions
against the homo team. This took
no account of such playful attentions
as the showering of ginger ale bottles
tles , cushions , or other available mis
siles.
The passionate dislike of the visit
ing team so dominates the heart of
the fan that ho falls to stop at legiti
mate comedy. Of course the senti
ment of the diamond never banishes
the clown who pits whimsical and
good-natured humor against the nerve
of an opponent. It will always bo
permissible to shake the self control
of the opposing pitcher by calling him
a "farmer. "
But the people who financial sup
port makes scientific ball possible do
not pay down their good money to see
assault and battery. Nor are they
paying the players primarily for such
gifts of wit as they find It better done
at the vaudeville theater. They go
to see baseball as n spectacle of brainwork -
work and skill of hand and eye , and
neither of these are displayed by
heaving bad names nt the umpire.
PRISON STRIPES.
The recent announcement that At-
lanta federal jail is to give up the
is one of the many changes taking
place In prison methods.
Lawmakers and prison officials have
tried ft wide range of methods of deal
ing with criminals. Some men now
living can recall the days when the
Jail at Simsbury , Conn. , used to chain
the prisoners' feet to iron bars , and
their heads to Iron beams , the quar
ters reeking with filth.
At the other extreme are the pris
ons of Japan , where the criminals
are paid for their work , and given
such a happy time that they often re
turn voluntarily. The Japanese Idea
of prison clothing is blue and brown
kimonos of comfortable appearance.
Warden T. J. Tynan of Colorado
state prison , a notable figure among
modern prison managers , keeps his
men In stripes for six months. After
that ho takes off the hated badge of
degradation.
"If you will give me n square deal , "
ho then says , "I'll give you one. tote
honest with me and yourself. "
Then ho puts his men in olive
green khaki , and takes them out to
the prison camps , where they labor
on the road without armed guards.
The men thrive physically , and do
good work. Recently some free men
have been employed on road jobs
nearby , and Tynan's convicts beat
the free men both on the quality of
their work and at baseball.
The matter of clothes may seem a
mere detail of prison management.
Actually It must penetrate a long way
Into the consciousness of every prls-
oner of any Intelligence and sensitive ,
ness.
Humanltarlanlsm In these putty ,
hearted days may go too far. Warden
Tynan's idea of wearing stripes for
at least six months is very likely a
wise provision to make the iron of
disgrace sear the very heart of the
criminal.
Under this method , the graduation
from stripes to khaki may be quite
nn incentive to good behavior. Inso
far as the prisoner shows himself
willing to llvo the normal llfo of
work and service and harmony with
the state , ho may well bo allowed to
assume the normal dross of the citi
zen.
A DYNAMITE PLOT.
The fellows who tried to dynamite
the Southern Pacific bridge at Gavl-
ota , Cnl. , built by non-union men , just
before President Taft's special train
was duo to pass , may have thought
that mere murder Is getting too com-
nonplaco to attract attention. If a
resident of the United States could
lie bagged , their deed would get Just
ho right on'phasls.
The rireat majority of labor unions
have grown moro peaceful and law-
abiding. A .kod If It Is possible to
prevent \lolenco In connection with
stilkcs , John Mitchell says : "Yes , If
It were otherwise 1 would abandon
the whole labor union movement. "
The trade union men have published
statistics showing that the number of
murders In the anthracite coal strike
under Mitchell's guidance in 1U02- : !
nv
was but one to 140.000 of the popula
tion t Involved. In Chicago the proportion
tion t of murders to population for a
.
year Is about one to 1,000. ! !
On the other hand , there Is a mi
nority of labor unionists who go Into
the game to win at any cost , and con
sider that homicide is a fair weapon
to t meet the alleged crimes of capital.
It all reflects the indifference to
life 1 and failure to enforce the laws.
1j
A recent wilier compares the results
of homicide In Chicago and London.
London ] in a recent year had twenty-
four t murdoiB. Chicago , with less
than a third the population , had 12S
at ( the .same time.
In London all of the alleged murderers -
ers were arrested and nine of them
were hung , four going to the insuno
asylum. In Chicago out of the 12S
homicides there were thiity-four con
victions , and only one was executed.
Does the English murderer s\t \
down on the sidewalk until the Lon
] don ( police come along to gather him
in ; ? As you look at our impressive
police in tl'ts majesty of their march
through the streets of a pleasant af
ternoon , the trouble does not look like
lack of physical courage.
The lavish offerings of flowers re
ceived by our murderers from the
general public , is one symptom. An
other is that tlio police officer who
falls to catch criminals is less unpopu
lar than one who uses his billy a lit
tle too frequently In arresting a
drunk.
Wherefore we hope that the officers
who are scouring the hills after the
perpetrators of the California out
rage , will be very keen to the scent
and mn very fast.
CALIFORNIA WOMEN'S PROBLEM.
California having apparently voted
for woman suffrage , both the advo
cates and opponents In the rest of
the country of tills revolutionary
change will hope to see the Idea tried
under the most favorable conditions.
If the new force In California In
politics is to be sane and wholesome ,
Its leaders have before them a task
of drilling and disciplining a great
army of new recruits in the battle of
good citizenship.
One of the most encouraging state
ments about woman suffrage was a
recent analysis of the vote of Pueblo
county , Colo. , showing that 90 percent
of the women of what was called the
best residence district were casting
their ballots. This Is a good showing.
Many men from localities of this type
would not spare thirty minutes from
their office to exercise an act for
which our patriot fathers endured the
bloody snows of Valley Forge.
On the other hand , there is the de
pressing fact from the same source
that 82 percent of the women from
the rooming houses In the red light
district were marching up to the polls
like sheep goats would perhaps bo
more descriptive to cast the votes
that wore thrown in in the bargain
sale of their womanhood.
An impartial observer said recently
that Colorado woman suffrage had
made it more difficult for drunkards ,
gamblers , libertines , and liquor deal
ers to secure office , but that there
were just as many grossly Incompetent
men in public office. He quoted one
society woman as saying that she voted
ed for Parker against Roosevelt in
1904 because ho was a handsomer
man , and that she voted against Gov.
Peabody because she did not approve
of his wife.
Of course It goes without saying
that the mnny men who vote for the
candidate that gives them the widest
smile of recognition on the street
may offset this type of female citizen
ship.
ship.From
From any point of view , It will be
admitted that woman's greatest weak
ness at the polls will be from lack of
business experience. The leaders of
California womankind ought to Ira-
press on their followers these two
ideas : That they should bo suspicious
of mere talkers that have demonstrat
ed no ability In some form of product
ive human effort ; second , that justice
should bo esteemed even superior to
generosity , that a politician does not
atone for graft by giving ThanksglV'
Ing turkeys to the poor.
REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The republican party presents to
the voters of Nebraska this fall a
ticket worthy of their support. Two
of the candidate for supreme Judge
have already given splendid service
on the supreme bench. Judges Let-
ton and Rose of Nebraska's highest
court have been tried and have prov
en faithful to the trust given thoin.
F. G. Hamer , also candidate for supreme
premo judge , is an able lawyer of
years of service In Nebraska. As n
deep student , unswayed by prejudice
and deliberate In Judgment , ho Is capable -
able of doing his duty and reflecting
honor upon the supreme bench , All ,
of these men Letton , Rose and Ham
er are men high up In their profes
sion and certainly to bo trusted with
the office to which they.aspire. When
the republican party of Nebraska
stamped KB endorsement upon them ,
It took Into consideration the candi
dates of the party In the past who
have proven themselves faithful to
every trust given them by the pee
ple. The people of Nebraska demand
the highest typo of men for their
ubllc offices , and the republican
arty , ever mindful of Its duty , again
lacea before the voters , men worthy
f their support ,

In the two candidates for re-elec-
lon to the office of regents of the
state university Frank L. Ilnllor and
Victor G. Lyford , the republican party
las but to point to their records an
egents of the state university. They
KIVO been careful servants of the
icoplo and have given a good account
of themselves. The voters can make
10 mistake by approving of the good
work of these men at the polls on
election day and permit them to con
tinue the good work. The republican
candidates this year are to be recom-
nended very highly to the voters.
They are safe and sane and are to be
trusted.
AROUND TOWN.
We're back.
And we'd like to know who's been
trespassing In this garden all the
week. Whoever it was said we bad
an attack of unimportant , everyday ,
commonplace grip when as a matter
of fact wo enjoyed a siege of tonsllltls.
Now that sure was libel.
But we have a clow. We've found
fingerprints , outlined in dots and
dashes , on our typewriter keys and
stand ready to convict the telegraph
man. We almost have a notion to
sentence him to grind out this column
every day of his life , now that he's
climbed the fence and stayed here a
week.
But speaking of tonsllltis , we are
almost willing to draw a diagram of
those great snow-capped peaks that [
filled our throat , silently blocking any
effort to get food Into yonder stem
ach. It made us wonder why the fel
low that wrote "Beyond the Alps Lies
Italy. " didn't write it : "Beyond the
tonsils lies the stomach. "
Fifty big ducks , however , got to the
Gulf , owing to those tonsils. We had
expected to go out shooting for a half
hour the night the tonsils sent their
victim to the mat.
It almost tempted a fellow to take
up his bed and walk. He would , if it
wouldn't have taken so much brass.
( Now that's a retiring nature for >
you. ) P. S. Yes , it's a brass bed.
But speaking of game , we did slip
one over on the tonsils , at that. The
day the snow molted off the peaks , in
came a prairie chicken from the
prince of all good fellows , and maybe
you think that chicken didn't get a
royal welcome.
We notice they called off those
world's series games till we could be
around again to enjoy 'em.
Speaking of world series , the tele
phone rang yesterday and the party's
voice at the other end of the line
couldn't be heard. So The News op
erator Just said , "No , they're not play
ing today ; wet grounds , " and let it
go at that. We'll bet ten to one it
hit the nail , too.
A Norfolk boy was stumped Satur
day. There were chances to see a
football game , go to a matinee , see a
moving picture show or go to a party.
He figured that he could see other
football games and that he might in
duce his father to take him to the
show at night , since It was Saturday ;
so he'd go to the party.
A Norfolk boy likes to go to school
for the sauo of the recoss.
If they don't play that fourth game
pretty soon , we'll die of nervous pros
tration. Wo can't stand this tension
much longer.
It looks as If Now York was keepIng -
Ing the grounds soaked so as to rest
up Mathewson.
Maybe the grounds aren't wet at all.
It's perfectly dry around Norfolk.
Kansas City has another game of
Hyde and seek on the docket.
That new serial story Just starting
In The News Is above the average.
The fellow who for two years has
been letting the casters drop out of
this chair every night or so , will
, never , never do the trick again. Not

Apparently the National Commis

cided to play ball. And It's u good
thing for them they did ,
They don't seem to hnvo reached
our name In that Rosebud drawing.
Seems queer , too. But como to think
of It , wo didn't register.
Now that's another thing tonsllltls
can do to you It can keep you from
registering and drawing a farm and
growing up with the country and get
ting rich. Aren't tonsils the devilish
things , though ?
The nnn easily approached Is usual

People who are always expecting

There are certain words ono rarely

Many men wreck both fortune and

There is an umpire in every walk
of life. You say what you think in
smart. The umpire decides the 10-
mark isn't funny , and there is no
laugh. You write what you think is
a great book. The umpire decides you
are out , although you think you made
a homo run. You buy a hat you think
IH becoming. The umpire says it is a
foul , and street boys whistle approval
of his decision. So it goes in "very-
thing. Alwnys an umpire to decide
against you.
This is the year you expected so
much of last year.
A man went to Chicago and made
a big success. And now his wife is
denying that when she lived in a lit
tle town her family owned a cabinet
organ and traded it in on a piano.
Nothing is more pitiful than to see
the wife of a dead heat go into a
store and ask for credit.
Wo all need thoroughness In plain
education more than we need a smat
tering in the higher branches.
There are so many rat holes for a
man's money that ho can't fill all of
them.
A congressman is a good deal like
a railroad man : ho jollies the people
along until they forget their wrongs ;
and the people have so many wrongs
[ that they can't remember all of them
very long ,
How careful and sensible a man Is
the day after he made a fool of him
self !
In winter , when the different legis
latures are in session , a reform wave
is as certain as a revival in the
south when the negroes have nothing
else to do.
A poker joke always gets u laugh ;
but a large majority of men know
little about the game except that a
good hand is hard to get.
An awkward man In society is often
a thoroughbred In business.
We all have too much confidence ;
and this conceit often gets us into
trouble.
Keep out of trouble , if possible ;

A contractor's "tomorroxy" means

We Americans have a lot of old

The manager of an "Undo Tom's

himself and Abraham Lincoln as the
two greatest men of the ago.
It Is as much as a man's llfo Is
worth to marry a second time , If ho
has daughters ; but sons , particularly
married sons , usually realize that if
there Is any punishment coming to
the old man because of the folly of a
second marriage , the second wlfo will
provide It.
How many foolish things there are
to beguile us from the really Import
ant work of our lives !
Every circus day a farmer drives a
team of young colts to town. The
colts are sure to go crazy at sight
of an elephant , but the farmer will
tie them In front of a store on the
main street ; ho knows the town men
will hold on to the colts , and allow
him to enjoy the parade in peace.
After a man has used tobacco a long
time , quitting is almost equal to de

They say a certain man and woman
wore married last Sunday. The worn-

"break wrong. " After a worried , sleep
less night you get up out of bed oil
the wrong side. Beefsteak Is tough ;
coffee is muddy ; some one's stolen
your morning paper ; you miss your
car , catch n cold In your head and n
cinder in your eye ; there's a note due
and no money to pay it ; agent comes
In and wants to Insure your llfo when

relative. "Oh. I feel pretty good ,
only I always feel bad when I feel
good , 'cause I know I'll feel worse
afterward. "
