Not since the days of fusion have the democrats of Nebraska displayed so much activity. And a glance behind the scenes shows the same political leaders who betrayed the populist par ty, murdered it to get the booty and then buried the corpse whose foul odor stood between them and their future demagogic ambitions. While there is not so much danger to be feared from this democratic ac tivity as there was from the fusion movement, still republicans should not be over-confident. It must be re membered that organized wealth in nation and state is against Roosevelt and his principles and that it will join hands with democracy in defeating them. Let it not be forgotten that the re publicans of the United States are with Roosevelt and that those eastern Senators bearing the republican label who are blocking President Roosevelt in his efforts for rate regulation and free trade with the Phillipines are just as far from being republicans as those democratic senators whom they have joined in an attempt to defeat Roose veltism. Let it be remembered that the democrats who charge that Roosevelt has not gone far enough in the way of reform and law enfo cement can only win party victory by welcoming to their councils those republicaus who oppose Rooseveltism. Roosevelt's vote in Nebraska two years ago proves that a vast majority of Nebraskans are Roosevelt republi cans. Before this majority can be changed the democrats will have to offer something that smacks more of Roosevelt than that which has been given by republican administrations. Will democrats maintain that rate regulation is not sufficient and urge that the state should pledge its na tional representatives to the goverment ownership theory? Then we can reply that while they have been shouting for a theory simply for effect, Presi dent Roosevelt and a republican ad ministration are already operating a government-owned railway in Pan ama and have laid the foundation for government-owned railroads in both the Philippines and Alaska. Will Nebraska democrats maintain that the republican party in Nebraska is a railroad party? Then we can ask these same men who are promising re forms today in event of democratic success, why, under similar promises in the days of fusion success, they gave Nebraska railroads the lowest assess ment they have ever had, while they themselves used as many free passes as were ever used by a Nebraska Le gislature. And we can point to the fact that it was republicans who doubled the assessment of railroads under the new revenue law and it was republican state officials who first threw away their passes. Will Nebraska democrats issist that they mean what they say and practice what their platforms preach? Then we shall point not only to the fusion record in Nebraska but to the democratic record in Platte county, the banner county of Nebraska de mocracy. We will ask why Platte county democrats "resolve" in .their conventions against passes and then nominate and support and elect men wlw carry passes. We will.askwhy fttoftlth ?atJlttto.cost BAKING UIM reward tJIMWW ww nvone stance injurious to the health found L i Caluset Baking Powder. i in Parity a prime essential in fwMa.

CadaUaet Baking Powder may be freelv used with the certainty that food made with it contains -no Alum, no Rochelle Salts, no injurious substance. they "resolve", against"graft"and then turn out and defend the worst of grafters in their own party. If the democrats cannot show that in nation, state and county where they have been in power, they have not given the public the worst of it, and violated every pledge they made why should they expect the public to flock to their banner where the most that they can promise is to out-Roosevelt Roosevelt and when the only way they can win is to gain anti-Roosevelt support from the republican ranks? While democracy has been preach ing trust-busting, the republican par ty .has been practicing it. While democratic papers have been malign ing Roosevelt for being elected by the aid of life insurance companies and the packing interests, he has been busy urging the prosecution against these corporations which has brought out the evidence these same papers are now using to discredit Roosevelt. While democrats are giving wine suppers and making goverment ow nership speeches, a republican ad ministration is gniding a government owened train across the Isthmus of Panama, carrying the supplies that shall complete a waterway which will reduce transcontinental railroad rates and make the United States the first commercial nation of the world. Will Nebraska be given back to democracy, or rather will republicans by urging the "square deal" policy which has so nearly brought Platte county in to the republican fold, con tinue to urge this policy not only till republican party success is complete, but till the square deal is realized in every department of onr government? Never has there been a time when a young man conld be prouder to call himself a republican; never a time when every citizen should be more glad to take off his coat and fight for republican success under the Roosevelt banner. A SERIOUS WEAKNESS. A very serious weakness in onr sys tem of naming jurors was well illustrat ed in the trial of the Monroe bank robbers here last week. A reward of $500 was offered for the capture and conviction of the criminals. The county she iff made the capture, secured the conviction and earned the reward. But the sherrif also named the jury which tried the last two prisoners. In this fact there is no reflection upon the honesty of the sheriff. He did what the law commands him to do. When the regular panel is exhausted, the law requires the sheriff to make up a jury from veniremen selected by him self. In this particular case, the evi dence was so strong that there could exist no motive for corrupting a jury. But the case illustrates the principle. Suppose a similar case where the guilt of the parties under charge is in doubt, and where there is a sheriff willing to sacrafice principle tor the sake of the reward. It is clear that the law places in his hands a weapon to use corruptly for his own gain. To safeguard the jury system this provision of the law should be changed. Either the sheriff should not be per mitted to accept a reward for the per formance of duty, or he should not be permitted to name the veniremen. WHEN DID IT QUALIFY? There are two or three facts which make the Telegram personal attack on the editor of this paper last week exceedingly humorous. First, the ''prominent republican" who was kicked out of hiding in the tall grass of the democratic back yard for the particular occasion, used a more ob jectionable term to express the same idea than this paper has ever used. Second, the democratic party used the exact language in its platform which was objected to in committee at the republican city convention on the ground that it was "improper'and no "prominent" republican has been keard to demand jthe exclusion from the mail of-either the Journal or' LUMET POWDER is offered to for an v sub BAKING POWOJ "cnumSr .otTiury mm chemists, S5wiifi hanalf all the Telegram for printing the dem ocratic platform. Third, the republi can platform, as finally adopted was written, every word of it, by the "young man" who, the Telegram says was "repudiated though not humi liated" by his party. Fourth, G.W. Phillinns has shared an office room with the editor of this paper for months and we are proud to claim a personal friendship with him. We not only never accused Mr.Phillips or the democratic parjjy of being iden tified with the "low element" in Co- a lumbus, but never said there was such an element. We have always as sumed that the men who voted a gainst Mr Dickinson on the issue which caused his unpopularity, were just as holiest as the men who voted for him. And we have always credit ed Mr. Phillips with-staudiug w'th Mr. Dickinson on that issue, simply pointing out that his, large majority was due to his being the beneficiary of a large vote cast on both sides of that issue, while Mr.Dickiuson got the vote of only one side. But the greatest joke of all is for the Telegram to claim admission to the mails as a Sunday school periodical. When did it qualify? ELIJA ill. Elija III is in trouble and the Holy City is threatened with ruin. Elija's wife, the mothea of his three children, has turned against him. Indeed his domestic infelicity may have had much to do with his other troubles. Dowie stands accused of" dishonesty. hypocrisy and immorality and his second in command in the Ziou army, is leading the opposition forces. Dowie has not been heard in i'uil but he will doubtless put up a stiff fight. The eyes of the world are fixed up on Ziou. The frivolous are waiting to hear what Mrs. Dowie has to say about the dashing blondes and gay brunettes who. "stole Elija's heart away,"while the serious are looking for the lesson to christian society which is sure to be taught by the ca tastrophe which threatens Ziou. Viewed from a broad standpoint, the Dowie movement contains ele ments of good. D wie has taught the possibility of combining the industrial with the spiritual iu municipal life and has developed in Zion a religio iudustrial co-operative institution such as the world has never seen. He has demonstrated that a city can live, at least for a while, without those things which the world calls "neces sary evils." He has built up a city of factories and schools and churches, without saloons, and crime and police. What the weakness of this great co-operative organization will turn our to be can only be inferred. But there is little doubt that the greatest ele ment of weakness will be found iu Dowie himself. Dowie has forced himself upon his followers as their Christ But the world knows Christ as the perfect man and they will not stand for a counterfei as Dowie, and every other man must be, in the very nature of things. A Columbus lady the other day suggested a remedy to cure widowers of early second marriages, which is worth copy-righting. She said, "We wives should act like perfect devils toward our husbands. Then when we die they will wait a long time before they will have the nerve to repeat the experiment. And the public will re mark on how devoted they have been to the memory of their' departed wives." Col. Carrol D. Evans has been re ceiving assurance of support from various parts of the state when he shall decide to begin hjs campaign for the United States Senatorship. If the Telegram will hand over that "tainted hundred" long past due, we will move to make it unanimous by naming that paper the official organ of the Salvation Army Pat McEillip also went democratic.
