AH TO VUMPCLSOHT ARBITRATION,
The trndes union con-jrrss now In ses
sion in London Is expected to adopt a
resolution favoring legislation creating
a court of arbitration, with compulsory
power to settle disputes between em
ployers and employes. The question of
compulsory arbitration for the settle
ment of labor controversies m of grow
ing Interest both here and abrond. IU
ctnily Justice Shlras of the supreme
court of the United States expressed the
opinion, which has received a good deal
of attention, that arbitration Is the log
ical method of settling labor troubles
such as the anthracite coal strike, which
uffects the general prosperity and com
fort of a great section of the country.
lie pointed out, . however,, that one
greut difliculty In the way of an arbi
tration law is the fact that labor unlous
are not Incorporated anil until they are
incorporated uo law can be made bind-
ug, as no contract or agreement could
ue forced upou them. "Incorporation of
all labor unions Is the primary step
toward the passage of an arbitration
law," said Justice 6 1 Iras. "The unions
must be responsible for the carrying out
of an agreement and until they are there
Is - little hope for compulsory arbitra
tion of labor troubles."
Iteferring to this Senator Ilanna said
that his experience among the labor
leaders would indicate that they are not
yet prepared to admit the force of the
agreement in favor of compulsory ar
bitration. "In other words," said the
Ohio senator, who has had much to do
with labor leaders, "they are opposed
to compulsory arbitration. All this," be
added, "Is the work of education and
must be approached very carefully and
by short steps." The premier of the
commonwealth of Australia, who Is now
in the United States, is reported as re
garding this country in a condition of
Industrial barbarism, because we have
not a system of arbitration such as that
of Australia. lie is quoted as saying:
I think that we in Australia , are very
much.fn advance of -your country in the
matter-of dealing with industrial' con
ditions. . By the terms of our arbitra
tion law great strikes are made prac
tically impossible. Arbitration is com-'
pulsory and since the enactment of this
compulsory- arbitration law, strikes In
New South Wales are unknown." ' It
should be needless to point out that a
system which works well in Australia
might be found ntterely impracticable in
this country. ,
The question of compulsory arbitra
tion has been frequently and freely dis
cussed here and its advocates have al
ways been found in a very small minor
ity. it, is not a popular plan either with
the" employers or the leaders of labor.
At the conference of the representa
tives of capital and labor In Chicago
some time ago the question was very
carefully considered and opinion was
overwhelmingly against compulsory ar
bitration. The idea has been prac
tically abandoned by those who are con
cerning themselves with the problem
of flndlpg a, way to preserve Industrial
peace. With both employers and wage
workers generally opposed to compuls
ory arbitration it Is manifestly useless
to urge it and attention should be given
to some other method for the peaceable
settlement of labor controversies.
TAltl PLAY AKD KO fATOB. '
A free ballot and a honest count, has
been the watchword of republicans for
many years. That principle is Involved
in primary elections Just as much as In
general elections. The choice of party
candidates expressed by secret untram
meled ballot and verified through lm
partial election officers Is essential to
Insure the support of the rank and file
to tint nominees of the party.
In the coming Douglas county pri
maries republican candidates of all fac
tions have a right to insist, that no
candidate shall be given' advantage in
any shape or form over bis competitor
in the race. The main object of the
primary election law is to Insure fair
play and no favor. All .the safeguards
of the law are designed to bring about
this object
From the initial step in calling the
governing committee together to pro
vide for primaries and conventions to
the certification of the returns the law
is drawn to prevent snap Judgment and
trickery and fraud. - Committeemen
must have at least five days' notice of
the meeting and the candidates and
voters at least twenty days from the
date of the call to the day of the pri
maries for the purpose of public discus
slon of candidates and issue. The ma
chinery provided by law for the pro
tection of the ballot box and the casting
of the ballots Is the same as that for
general elections, and the official ballots
of the primary in cities must conform to
the requirements of the Australian bal
lot law. '.-,
At every step and stage the prime
purpose is to secure the honest expres
sion of party sentiment without coer
clou or fraud. To this no candidate
can rightfully object

In a recent 'article Senator Lodge said
that no Asiatic people has ever had so
large a degree of popular representative
government either given or promised to
them as the Filipinos. lie declared
that it is a great experiment one new
to the world, but "the republican party.
at least believes that with time and
patience, both in large measure, we
can solve the problem of the govern
ment of eastern tropical possession iu
accordance with American principles."
In the very brief report from Manila
of the address of Governor Taft at the
banquet of the American Chamber of
Commerce there is givep a supporting
view of the idea presented by the
Massachusetts senator. That Is that
the United States is to remain in the
Philippines ' with a view to educating
the natives to an understanding of self
government "and other conditions whir
would enable them to decide whether
they desired to become Independent or
be made Into a state like Canada or
Australia under Great Britain,1 That
m the experiment which the United
States is now trying In the Philippines.
There Is a peculiar people to deal with
a people wholly different from any we
have ever before hnd anything to do
with and who have been living under
Iolitlcal Institutions and social condi
tions entirely different from ours. Their
traditions, their ideas, their social re
lations, their domestic life, their no
tions of civic duty and political re
sponsibility, are totally different from
those of the Anglo-Saxon and particu
larly of the American. For centuries
the Filipinos have lived under a rule
and been taught in a school of politics,
morals and ethics essentially different
from those they are now required to ac
cept There Is a most radical depar
ture to be made, an experiment "new
to the world." Millions of people are
to be educated out of all they have
learned during many generations and
taught to accept principles utterly an
agonlstlc to those they have lived under.
It is ludeeu a great experiment, so
great that there is some warrant for
doubt whether It will be wholly suc
cebsfuL That the task will encounter
still more difficulties, that there are
troubles and perplexities yet to be met
with, is not to be doubted. But what
has already been accomplished Justifies
hope that with patience and persever
ance we shall be able in time to firmly
establish American principles In those
far off islands and to convince their
people that American rule is for their
benefit Such assurances as were given
the Filipinos by Governor Taft ought to
have a good Influence and followed by
acts which attest their sincerity cannot
fall to make an impression favorable to
American sovereignty.
In three of the four congressional dis
tricts In Nebraska the fuslonlsts have
renominated the members now serving
and the same arguments are being used
by them for the retention of the present
fusion members, on the score of experi
ence, that are being urged in this dis
trict on behalf of Dave Mercer's de
mand for a sixth term. In the fusion
districts, however, republicans decline
to recognize the validity of such a claim
and are supporting the republican candi
dates In spite of their Inexperience. Re
member that the same rule that would
keep Mercer in congress perennially
would also keep four fusion congress
men representing Nebraska at Washing
ton until they were ready to quit or to
die.
The Missouri State Board of Equaliza
tion raised the assessment for 1902 on
r&!!fOHd, telpnbnfip n nrl tplocrT-nphs
$6,500,000 over the assessment for-1001,
nd the assessment for 1901-was several
millions higher than the assessment for
1900. Contrast this with the assessment
of railroads in Nebraska, which is
(3,000,000 lower in 1902 than it was ten
years ago. And yet the tax bureau
points to Missouri as a model for Ne
braska..
Computations based on official esti
mates of three staple crops in sight-
corn, wheat and oats give a total value
for the 1902 'product of $3,793,500,000,
All the gold output of the world for
1900 was only $255,634,500 and the gold
and sliver together less than $500,000,000
or less than a third in value of the corn,
wheat and oats raised by the American
farmers in one short season.

An article in the current number of Mr.
John Wanamaker's magazine describes the
dwellings of the miners In a certain an
thracite village In Pennsylvania as follows:
They live In houses built of sheet Iron
and boards, about fifteen feet square and
sunk about three feet In the ground. Of
course, there la but one room and In the
room the family anywhere from lx to
ten humans cooks, eats and sleep. Al
though there I plenty of apace, these
hutches are crowded together like troopers
hunks on a transport The atreets are so
narrow one may almost touch a house on
either side simultaneously. Behind these
hutches stretched a great heap of ashes
the dump from ths ftirnarn that ran thm
engine, a reddleh-brown heap, packed hard
by the rain. For obscure reasons parts ot
It were yet hot and steamed under th
contact of the veil of wet And thl mass.
In cooling, threw off a stench like that of
nauseating, revolting aweetne, powerful,
unescapable, that pervaded the entire com
munity. f:;
It may be that the employers of the men
who live in thea habitations, the "coal
baron," as they '.are termed, sail around
la their yacht,. 'Miv In winter palaces on
Fifth avenue and summer palaces In New
port, buy their . clothes In Europe and
spend a fortune in American Beauty rosos
for a single dinner. But this is not such
prosperity as a, country may boast of or
that uplifts the toller. This government
depends upon tha toller and true pros
perlty can only exist with happy and com'
tortable homes and a contented people.
Fortunately tor us there are not many
such communities as that Pennsylvania
village described ' In Mr. Wanamaker's
magazine. But ' even one Is too many,
Such a place 1 a plague spot, a running
sore on the body politic. It may spread
Its cankerous growth far beyond the lim

Its beginning. -
DAMAGES FOR IfOISJS.
Massachusetts Opeaa m Hew Flela (or
Daanaa-) Bait.
Chicago Tribune,
Chief Jostle Masoa of the superior
court, Boston, - Mass., ha Jut handed
down a decision which I ot more than
ordinary Interest,: and will. If generally
recognized as sound law, have far reach
ing consequences. In a suit of on Ed
ward F. Baker against th Boston Elevated
Railroad company for damages. Judge
Mason awarded the plaintiff . 12,000, bait
tha amount h claimed, and decided that
CO per cent of the award, or (1,000, was
for the damage caused by noise. As the
immediate outcome of this decision suits
have been filed against the road aggre
gating about $6,000,000. If Judge Mason's
decision is affirmed by the supreme court
the company will have to pay no lncon
slderable damages. The suits are brought
by property owners who have had to re
duce rents to keep their tenants, by hotel
keepers, who declare that rooms fronting
on the tracks are uninhabitable, and by
numerous Individual whose' property, a
hown by the decrease In valuation allowed
by the assessors, has been largely de
creased In value.
In Its defense the company claimed Its
road was tor tha public benefit and could
not be operated without nolae, and that
this was understood when the right-of-way
wa given by the city. The court did not
take thl view : of the cas. although
Judges In some other states have done so,
but ruled that "Injury of a substantial
character to a particular astat resulting
directly from an unlawful act creating
noisome smells, ' noxious vapors, dust,
moke or great 'and disturbing noises,
whereby It occupation 1 rendered lncon
venlent or uncomfortable, 1 damage re
coverable In a prlrate action, whether th
act I also a public wrong or otherwise."
The court made It decision even more
emphatic by declaring that "a a private
nuisance It would be of such gravity that
It not beyond the power of th legislature
to legalize It without providing compensa
tlon. It la difficult to believe that It wa
intended to omit such provision except on
the plainest manifestation of such In
tent."
The case now goes to the supreme court,
and ths decision ot that tribunal will be
looked for with much Interest, not be
cause It will cost the road an Immense
um If the decision of th lower court 1
affirmed, . but because It lay down the
new principle which may be extended even
further In It operation, that In case of
Interference with Individual right by cor
poration of thl class nols la responsi
ble for half th damage, and hence should
involve Increased compensation. In a city
like Boston, wher th atreet are narrow
and alley are not available. It la hard
to construct a road which does not closely
abut upon property frontage. Should tb
higher .court, therefore, sustain the deci
sion of the lower, ucb grave problem
will confront th elevated road In th way
of expense that they may have to get under
ground wherever it la practicable within
the city limit.

Tekamab Journal: The cordial recep

tour over the Third district must make
Congressman Robinson feel that even It
has become the "enemy' country."
Pawnee Republican: Howard H. Hanks,
the pcpocratlo nominee for congress from
this district, says: "I can beat Burkett
If anybody can." Well, anybody can't
beat Burkett and Mr. Hanks may a well
trot away back and sit down.
Oeneva Signal: The fuslonlsts of the
First district have nominated Howard
Hanks of Otoe county to run for congress
gainst Mr. Burkett. Even If he should
hange the first part of hi name to Nancy
he couldn't beat Burkett. The First dis
trict will never stand for any such thing
aa "Congressman Hanks."
Albion Times: M. P. Klnkald served the'
people of this district for fourteen year
on the Judicial bench faithfully, ably and
well and now after a few year rest they
are going to promote him to a higher
office by sending him to congress, where
his abilities will shine as pronounced and
as resplendent In a legislative body as
they did In his Judicial capacity.

Wood River Interest: Judge Oeorge
Norrls, republican candidate for congress
In this district, la causing the fusion lead
ers much anxiety lest he down their cham
pion, Shallenberger, at the coming elec
tion. Starting as a poor boy on the farm,
Judge Norrls has climbed the ladder till
he Is a successful lawyer and a very popu
lar jurist. Although In a strongly fusion
district he has been twtce elected to the
district Judgeship, which position he still
holds.- HI popularity with the people and
his aggressive campaign may well cause
th other fellows much uneasiness.
Falls City Journal: Hon. E. J. Burkett
has been In congress long enough to ao-
qplre familiarity with the duties of a
member theerof, and, having thus become
acquainted with the detail, ha is In much
better position to look after the Interests
of his constituents than any man can be
who yet has these things to learn. The
value of experience In the house of rep

ginning to be appreciated In this western
country, although the east ha long
profited by It The people of thl district
cannot afford to lose the benefits of Mr.
Burkett's experience.
Norfolk New: Ths democrat will ex
ert their best endeavors this fall to have
the people elect a congress of that faith,
nd, it successtul, two year hence they
will present the argument that now they
have the congress they will need the presi
dent In order to accomplish anything.
Such a scheme will not go with th
people, however. The thought that they
will have another do-nothing congress for
the coming two years will cause many
voters to cast their ballot for the repub
lican ticket. ' The republicans have the
president and will be given the congress
If the people desire activity regarding na
tional affairs. Vote for McCarthy.
Sutton Advertiser-News: Remember
Judge Norrls is the coming congressman
and ths people of thl district will con
gratulate themselves upon their choice.
He will be In political accord with the best
men at Washington and will thu be en
abled to do much good work for the dis
trict Make up your mind now that he Is
your choice and thus place yourself along
with the hopeful element. There Is now
no occasion for holding calamity notion
or tor voting for men who base their
expectation on calamity condition. Thl
Is an era of good times and I right for
every voter to get away from any politi
cal combination that I not In line with
th beat thought of th age.
Holdrege Citizen: More and more young
men are taking an Important part In the
different walk ot Ufa and in politic. Judge
Noni belong to that large class of young
men who are capable, self-reliant and are
always pushing to the front. In what
ever sphere he has been placed he has
proved himself worthy of trust and ha
proved equal to the duties Imposed upon
him. From a careful atudy ot the men, we
are convinced that he would be a most ca
pable public servant and that the people of
the Fifth congressional district would have
abundant reason to be proud of their con
gressman, If he was elected, and that they
might expect to gain some benefit by having
a man Ilk him in congress.
Benedict News-Herald: Mr. Stark ex

Beatrice Express: Ths people of this
congressional district should be wesry by
this time of sending representative to
congress who, being at out with the ad-
mlnlstrattlon and member of a hopelea
minority, can accomplish nothing for their
constituent. It I believed and hoped that
Nebraska will send no democratic or popu
list congressmen to Washington hereafter
and It is pretty certain that Mr. Hin-
shaw will be elected by an emphatlo ma
Joiity in this district. Mr. Hlnehaw Is in
very way aa admirable man and hi
ability ha in every way been demon
trated. He 1 a worker rather than an
orator and workers are the men who ac
complish thing In congress. He will re
celve the cordial ' support of all repub
licans and many who have been voting tor
Judge Stark in the past, but who hav
come to a realisation of th error of tbel
way, will help to elect him.
Teeumseh Chieftain: Hon. E. J. Burkett
departed for the atate of Maine the first of
thl week, where he will deliver a aerie ot
campaign speeches upon tha Invitation and
under tb direction of th national com
greislonal committee, continuing until Sep
tember 6. Th Main election occurs on
September I. During the following week
Mr. Burkett will speak at several point la
Pennsylvania, under ths auspice ot tb na
tlonal committee. He will return to Ne
braaka in time to deliver the first speech
of hi campaign in thl d strict at Stslnauer
Mondsy, September IS. Tuesday evening,
September II, he will speak In Crab Or
chard, and that meeting will open the cam
palgn In this county. The date should b
born In mind and every voter In the vl
cinlty of Crab Orchard ahould make It a
point to hear the address. Mr. Burkett Is
on of th bast campaigner la th state,
Iways entertaining and Instructive. Th
fact that be ha been Invited to do earn-
atgn work In the eastern state I a splen
did tribute to his genius and ability, on
that the voter of the First Nebrsska dis
trict fully appreciate.
Ohiowan: Hon. E. H. Hlnshaw, candi
date for congrea In thl district, I ac-
used by th opposition of trying to make
himself useful to the rural population who
are a yet unprovided with free delivery
service. He haa done more than to try. He
ha succeeded admirably. Thl Is th
exact truth and neither Mr. Hlnshaw nor
his friend hav attempted to deny It H
want to make himself useful to con
stituent and will not wait until after the
election to begin. Mr. Hlnehaw' lnfluen-
lal position already enable him to aid
the rural delivery, a service very highly
ppreclated by them. He ha demon
strated hot klone his willingness, but hi
ability to make himself useful. The
nemy may call thl cheap politic, but
they cannot fall to recognlz the Wisdom
of thu proving to the voter that the can
didate appreciate the Importance ot ad
vancing the best Interest of hi con
tinents. Hlnshaw In congress would
prove himself still more useful to hi con
stituent.
Leigh World:. An Important matter to
be considered at the coming election by
the voters of the Third congressional dis
trict is the election of a congressman. J.
McCarthy of Dixon county Is a candi
date and stands tor th principles of th
republican party, th party that doe
things and promote prosperity to all
aes. In whose hands th government
1 safe and Is directed to th welfar of
the people. J. 8. Roblnsoa of Madison Is
candidate on the fusion ticket for th
same place and I standing on the shat
tered and splintered Kansas City plat
form, which never has and Is not likely
to do anything for th people. Th coun
try never w any mors prosperous than
at present, under republican government.
nd as experiment ar usually costly, es
pecially when thing ar In a prosperous
condition, then Is It not well to continue
under a republican administration? These
are things the voter should think about.
Think It over and you can easily see the
reason why Mr. McCarthy should be
elected. ,

President Roosevelt Infuse Into his ad
dresse some homely philosophy that is
worthy of Ben Franklin. Representing ths
people of the greatest fres society ths
world haa known, and receiving adulations
and attentions bestowed upon ho other n
ecutlv of any other natloni he seems to sea
th necessity of reminding ths people that
good citizenship does not consist In the
glare and glitter and pageantry of life, an I
that whll pomp and circumstance may be
consistent with that quality they do not
alone constitute It
In his speech In Boston he uttered philos
ophy that deserves to b studied by all citi
zens. That It 1 trite and true does not
mean that It Is always mad th rule of ac
tion and the guide of life by all people. He
defined th first requisite ot good clttzen
ahlp that : "A man shall do, every day, V"
humdrum duties wall. A man Is not a good
citizen, I do not car how lofty hi thoughts
ar In th abstract, if In th concrete his
action do not bear them out It does not
make any difference how high hi aspira
tions are. If he doe not behave well In Ms
own family those aspirations are not going
to bear any visible fruit. He ha got to be
a good bread-winner, to take care of his
wife and children: he has got to be a good
neighbor, whom his neighbors can trust:
he haa got to act squarely la hi business
relations). In fact, be ha got to do all
these every day, ordinary thing, or he I
not a good citizen. The man or woman who
make up for ten dsys' Indifference to duty
by eleven day', morbid repentance, about
that Indifference Is of very Uttl us In the
world.-
That 1 a statement of th beginning and
foundation of all rlghtnes of life and ot all
worthy citizenship that cannot be too often
repeated by those whose exaltation of sta
tion gives them commanding opportunity to
be heard and heeded. The beginning of all
adjustment to every duty la at home, and
among thoe nearest When a nation Is
made up of people mindful ot the nearest
obligation, the duty that Is In first contact,
all ot Its larger interests are safe, for they
are in control of those who have learned
duty In its best school.
New England and the whole country ap
preciate this bit ot philosophy, which,
seeming simple, Is yet profound, and in
every home In the republlo there will be &
feeling of companionship for the president,
who precede the discussion of great prob
lem with this reminder of th only wise
preparation tor their solution.

YESTERDAY.
Indianapolis News. '
It I not far to Yesterday -
And there we turn our eyes
To wher the good, glad memories
In pleasing pictures rise.
Tha faded roses of today
Grow red and rich with dew.
And where gray clouds are spreading now
We sea th skies ot blue.
Just down the way Is Yesterday-.
There sunshine always beams; ,
Today we close our eyes and s
Our yesterday In dreams;
Today w hear the long-dead song,
And now we understand
Its cadence, and know why it made
Our Yesterday all grand.
A little way to Yesterday
Today may have Its fears,
Yet yesterday Is filled with smfles.
Tomorrow haa its tear
Today tomorrow What of them.
When w can find th way
That lead u to th golden land
Th land of Yesterday? -
It Is not far to Yesterday, - ,
With glamor of tha rose; . , ,
With haunting echo of the song "
That thrilled us to the close.
Tomorrow and Today will lose
Their darknes and their gloom,
And each will soon be Yesterday
With melody and bloom.
