Poor Mayor Dickinson! He "has displayed some tactics too small for a man in his position in his efforts to paaiab the Telegram." He didn't vote to make the Telegram the official paper at 30 cents on the dollar. May or Dickinson is no 30 cent mayor, brother; and besides, he has a very warm feeling toward the Telegram for its united opposition which en abled him to get the largest majority ever given a Columbus mayor. Don't cry, brother it will wear off after while. COLUMBINES. Governor Folk of Missouri is living up to his reputation. A negro was lynched by a mob in a Missouri town add the governor has instructed the attorney general of the state to assist the county attorney in every way possible to prosecute tbose who took part in this crime against an individ ual aad against the utate. He says: "No matter how deserving the death of the negro may have been, nor how dastardly the crime, it was mur der for the -.mob to hang him. It is just as muoh an offense ia the eyes of the law for the mob to kill a guilty person as it would be to lynch an in nocent one. We have government by law aad not br mobs, and those who take part in such lawlessness do so at their peril, xhe attorney general has been directed to investigate the matter and assist the prosecuting at torney of the county in bringing to justice those participating in this crime.' It takes some nerve for a man to talk that way in Missouri. In the course of evolution, the human species has grown abovejand away from the beasts of the Geld in everything except the animal passions. These it has covered over and concealed with various forms of veneer, but when the mask is taken off there is no other animal so savage, ao cruel or ao blood-thirsty as the lord of the land aad the sea. A tigress will sometimes knock her own little cab to the other side of the cage with a swipe of her velvet paw, when he is unruly, but she would not take him when he was submissive aad supplicating and hold him down in a corner and scratch and bite and caff and pound him, deliberately and ia cold blocd, until he wept and how led for mercy as so many so-called mothers and teachers of the human epecies do. A tigress who would do that would lose her value in a men agerie because she would be too nearly human to be exhibited as a wild beast. Likewise a gang of wolves will sometimes pounce upon a wounded aad helpless comrade and do him unto death, because they are hungry and want to eat him. Bat they don't take him aad gouge his eyes out and skin him alive and hold him over a fire. Wolves that would be guilty of such actios would demonstrate beyond any question their right to tne ballot in thu great republic. Governor Folk had better go a little alow. The contemplation of human wufTeriagaad the shedding of human goro are matters very dear to the hu- heart, and they are pretty near to first principles down in Missouri. Somebody suggests Grover Cleve land for president of the Equitable. If they are looking for a man who will raatea on request, they had bet ter keep oa looking Textile Bace Wtk Death.

" Yoa caannot run railroads as you run private business. You must re spond to the public demand. If there is danger of discrimination then you must allow the establishment of some tribunal that will remedy that dis crimintion" These words from Sec retary x'aft, hurled into the teeth of 300 members of thelnternational Rail way Congress, including all the lead ing railroad magnites of the world, while they were banqueting inW ington recently, certainly "started something." Mr. Fish, president of the American Bailway Association, who presided as toast master, was on his feet in a moment ready to forget the regular order and to reply to Mr. Taft in a lengthy speech. Again Mr. Taft got the floor for fifteen minutes. No occasion could have made more conspicuous the parting of tbe ways between President Roosevelt and the railroad magnates than this one. Secretary Taft spoke for President Roosevelt and for the people of tbe United States. Ho epoko where those interested on the ether title could hear and understand. This banquet episode, coupled with the emphatic utterances of President Roosevelt at Denver on rate regula tion have drawn the lines in no un certain fashion. The United States will have government supervision of rates on Roosevelt's theory of a "squaro deal" for the railroads as well as for the public, or we will have, as Mr. Taft suggested, government regulation as a result of a campaign that will bode ill for the railroads. President Roosevelt voiced the ex act sentiments of a majority of the American people when he said:''l will not be satisfied with any com promise that does not bring relief to the people from the conditions that now exist in regard to transportation affairs in this country." COMPETITION. Does it pay the city to solicit bids on its job work, or should the job work go to the organ of the victorious party at what the Telegram in its pro position calls the "usual and custom ary prices' of uush work? Let the record answer for itself. In showing this record to Columbus citizens, we invite no criticism upon the Telegram for doing work below cost when it has to bid, while collect ing from 100 to 900 per cent of those prices when the work was done in 102 and 11103 at the "usual and cus tomary prices." That is purely a matter of business policy for the Telegram to determine for it6elf. "Usual and custo mary prices" paid the Telegram in 1U02 and 11KW Prices made by Telegram in compet've bids for 1903 and 'W .CO 20 elec notices 11.7.1 300 letter hds for typewriter 2.75 200 same 500 tax notices 3.00 500 envelopes 2.25 1200 ballots COO 1-125 same 100 roll call slips 1.00 1.00 l.r.0 1 ."iO 2.83 .50 This is a part of the Telegram's record of. prices. It is a conclusive answer to the Telegram's arenment against competition. Manv years ago tho Telegram gave tbe city $5 for the honor of being "it." The Telegram this year will give more than that before it deli vera the city's job work and still tho Argus is "it." Too bad, too bad ! Councilman Clark has ordered his political coffin and engaged the Tele gram poet to write his epitaph. A great trio of corpses Boettcner, Clark, Becher! CONTINGENT JOURNALISM. Right on the heels of the Pat Crowe interview, comes now the World Herald and tells under a big, black heading all about how President Roosevelt went through Omaha Tues day night. The paper was datedWed nesday morning, and evidently had been printed some timo on Tuesday, before Omaha found ont that the presidential car had gono around by another road. This unannounced de tour was unfortunate fur Omaha, un fortunate for Miss Mae Wood, and unfortunate for the enterprisingWorld Herald. But this was a journalistic misfor tune and not a fault. We have all dose it. When you know something is going to happen at a certain time, and the compositors are shouting for copy you don't go ahead and write it up in advance on general principles, you are moet too conscientious to ba in the newspaper business. No human vision could have fore seen that a president of this republic would pass by such a metropolis as Omaha and cut across country to a village like Plattsmouth. As far as the president was concerned it was doubtless an oversight ; with Secretary Loeb it may have been an instinct born of nature's great law of self preservation; and for the World Herald it was undeniably tough luck. However, considered as one of the exigencies of tne trade, we are dispos ed to forgive the World-Herald for the Roosevelt incident, but we must insist that it proceed forthwith to dig up Pat Crowe in the flesh. THE ROOSEVELT PLATFORM. The msotmn of the American people may make mistakes of judgment on complex -economic questions but they are seldom mistaken in men. The masses voted for Roosevelt, the man, not for Roosevelt the protec tionst, or Roosevelt the tariff reform er. They voted for him because they believe in his manhood, in his hon esty. And that faith has crown into an ever crowning confidence that has absorbed party lines and factional differences. Never before in the his tory pf America could the masses of the American people repeat that senti ment of Thomas Jefferson " We are all republicans, we are all democrat"," with tho enthusiasm that they can re peat it today. Exact justice before the law to all men, to high and low, co rich aad poor, is the guiding prin ciple of Roosevelt's administration, as well as of his private life. And this principle is the embodiment of the spirit of the American constitution. Tne republican party should be and is proud of its leader. Battherepub- licans who voted for Roosevelt are no more proud of that ballot than are the thousands of ex-democrats who placed the crjfs in the same circle. If the republican organization of Nebraska would continue in tower it would do well not only to incorporate into its platform but to put iuto prac tice the principles that Lava piven Theodore Roosevelt bis hold ou the masse?. San and jat rate regulation will constitute burden ufRoosevoit's battle with the senate daring tho remainder of his term of ofiire. !f the republi can party of Nebraska fails to take no tho rato hlognu for our state, with the same frarlfls-s earnestness that Roosevelt has taken it up for the na tion, it will meet defeat nt the hands of the voters anil it will deserve that defeat. Our last legislature, notwithstand ing the honest endeavor t.f a majoritv of the individual memlurs tor effec tive rate control, passed i meaningless railroad commission bill. Republi cans may as well frankly admit the fact and renew tho tisht within the party organization to find a remedy. Evorv lucal rnpa'jlicau organization in Nebraska should go to the Roose velt railroad platform ami stay there and fight to the end. not a failure. The people who argue that the Interstate Commerce Conimiosion is a failure should take a look at the goings-on between the fruit (-nippers of Michigan and the owners of private refrigerator cars who have been levy ing almost prohibitory rates niton fruit shipments. The shipper com plained to tho Interstate Commerce Commission and now the private car owners offer to arbitrate before trial, agreeing to a reduction of 30percont in freight rates. If the Commission is a dismal failnro why do not the car owners lot the matter go to tho com mission? The fact is, the frnit grow ers of Michigan will get better rates, and they will have the Commission to thank for the reduction. Those who argue that tho cumin is; ion is useless, first should study rate sat istics since 87. Then they should remember that they aro rising the argument which is being used by the railroads against the enlargement of tho com mission's powers, which is proposed by President Roosevelt. ,1 TEMPERANCE LECTURE. A couple of weeks ngo a commer ical traveler was showing his goods to ajnerchant inLindsay when the latter commented on his having apparent "shakiness." The traveling man laughed and said : ' ' Yes, I have been making a fool of mysell lately ; been out with the boys often ; was on a toot lost night." Tho merchant thereupon gave him some good fatherly advice and wound it up bv saying: "Cut out the booze, or it will get you sure. " This week thojame man called on the same mer chant and said: "I wih I had taken your advice. 1 have just received a telegram from tin no use or dering me to send in my grips by the 15th, and stating that they would send a sober man out to cover mv territory.

The Telegram is glad that the con troversy 'regarding the teaching of relieious history in the Columbus public schools has been adjusted o tho apparent satisfaction of all con cerned." We congratulate tho editor of tho Telegram on his keen percep tive powers in learning after three weeks what the public has known all tho timo. He is the only man in Co lumbus to whom that controversy" socalied.has not been n closed incident from tho begnning. In fust, tho "in cident' was never opened. Tho Telo grnrn tried to open it by fortifying itself behind Father Marian, who spoko without investigation on n sub ject concerning which it turns out that his information was faulty. It is now up to the Telegram to apologize for going off half cocked on this subject without investigating it ; or to admit the truth of the only charge made by the Journal, namely. that the editor of the Telegram used his papor as a vent for his own per sonal enmity against another man." SOME FUND A MENTALS. Rev. Theobald Kalamajo, pastor of the local Catholic church, has a very full statement in the Inst Columbus Telegram, touching upon the Tele gram's attempt to make use of certain complainrs against Principal Britell's method cf teaching religious history. The main point ofFather Theobald's article, so far as it bears on the Tele gram's charge against Mr. Briteli. is to verify the statement made by the Journal, namely, that Father Theo bold had not investigated tho com plaints that appeared in the Telegram. And his article goes a step farther. It absolutely clears Mr. Briteli from the charges Referring to a conversa tion which paseed between himself and Mr. tfritcll. Father Theobold says: "This explaination clears him of the charges made against him." The Telegram finding itself in deep water from making use of mere gos sip to injure Mr. Briteli, evidently hoped to clear itself by getting this statement fromFatherTheobald. Andin deed, Father Theobold, fair man that he is, has taken more than his chare of the responsibility for the mistake but his statement only emphasizes the truth of the Journal's statements and of the general belief, that it was poor policy for theTelergam to hazard making strife between church and Bchool with the hope of annoying thereby a personal enemy. Speaking in general, Father Theo bala brings ont a thought that should be emphasized, because of the funda mental truth it contains. And it is because a majority of the people of Columbus. Catholics, Protestants and non-church members alike, recognize this truth, that the Telegram's article did not stir up the controversey which it otherwise would have cam- re eJ Those are Father Theobold's words: "The Catholics of this com munity most certainly cannot And do not clai n of any man, whether private or public, special privileges on relig ions grounds." This statement applies with equal force to every other church or relig ions organization whatsoever. In America cuurcn and state are eternally si-uaratrd. This truth is witteu in tho blood of tho hundreds of thousands who have fallen in re ligious wars, waged uh bitterly by Pro: i stunts as by Catholics. The free stato school of America, in harmony with the separation of church and state. is forever barred from Teach ing creed, dogma, or religicus system. And likewise every church cf what evor denomination is forever barred from tho privilege of interfering, eitlior negatively or positively with the free public schools. It is tha right of minister or priosf, not as clergyman, but as individual ami ciiizen, to make complaint of any teacher in onr public schools who is thougut o be speakinc ior or against any church or who displuvs nuy other evidence of incompetency. If the difiiculry cannot be adjusted amicably between teacher and complainant, the matter should be brongbt to the attention of the board of education, the men selected by the public to ad minister ocr schools, and the only men who have auy authority whatever in demanding what 6hall or shall not be taught or in passing upon the in competency or competency cf teachers. There never will be nn agreement of authorities on certain points iu ct-urch history any more than there will bo an agreement as to how much of Shakespear's plays was not written by Shakesjware. Church history, as such, has no place in onr schools bnt the history of re ligons movoments has, and it shonld be taught in relation to the period studied, and not with reference to any time church of the present. If all individuals, like Father Thoo bald, would be fair enough to take their gieivances to the teacher first, or at least to the board of education, be fore permitting the press to make use of them to further political or per sonal ends, there would be better har mony and better teaching in onr schools. And harmony would likewise be promoted if tencherB would always bear in mind that they are not hired tn run the churches and if ministers would bear in mind that they willnot be permitted to run the schools in tho interest of their respective churches. livery church. Catholic or Protes tant is encouraged in its efforts to ward tho creation of a christian state but eanh is forever forbidden iu fn e America to establish a state ebnrcb or to U6e state schools and staio money to promote its particular church or ganization. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuii:iuiiiiu:tiiiff jttnmi Dears aao.

Shedd of Lincoln, secretary to the Nebraska commission of the Lewis&Clark Exposition, has sent out letters appealing to prominent citizens and to newspapers to co-operate with the commission in making a suitable showing from Nebraska at tbe Port land Exposition. Nebraska.last year, raised the best corn that was raised in the United States. Nebraska two years ago had the prize winning steer. The alfalfa exhibit from Ne braska at tbe St. Louis exposition was a most profitable advertisement for the stato. The commission is there fore especially interested in making a showing of Nebraska corn and live stock conditions from this part of Ne braska and to this end ask the farmers of Platte county to contribute their best samples of corn and any pictures they may have showing feed yards, up-to-date buildings, fields of grain etc. Hon J.

The dispatrt. from Saigon to the Associated Press Etating that the Russian fleet had sailed northward from the vicinity of Honkohe bay early in the morning or May 14 is the latest news available in London regarding the movements of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. A dispatch from Hcng Kong to the Daily Mail says that Hamilton Kins. American minister at Bangkok, who is a passenger on board the steamer Pitsanuluke, states that on May 11 the steamer passed fourteen Russian warships twenty-four miles north or Kamranh. bay.

At tho foreign office the Associated Press learned that Foreign Secretary Lansdownc has made no further repre sentation to the French government regarding the continued stay of tho Russian Pacific fleet in Cochin-Chir.a waters. No alarm is felt In govern ment circles here that Japan will per mit her protests to go so far as to pro duce a rupture of peace, but it is fully recognized that Japan has the power to bring her ally into conflict by a hos tile act. Therefore the British govern ment is using every effort to keep tho Japanese cool and fit the same time urging upon France the necessity of respecting neutrality, in which Great Britain agrees in principle with Ja pan. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis ter here, said to the Associated Prcsi that he was positive if France sent a definite demand to St. Petersburg Vice Admiral Rojestvensky would not remain in French waters twenty-four hours.
