ItKPVBLIVAlt JUDICIAL TIVRKT.
The republicans of the Fourth Judi
cial district have placed In nomination
seven candidates for the bench whom
all classes and factions of republicans
can cordially support, and who will
command support also from good citl
sns of all parties.
Three of these candidates, Judges
Baxter, Estelle and Day, now occupy
positions on the bench and have served
the people of the district creditably
during their respective incumbencies.
Judge Baxter was promoted from the
position of county Judge four years ago,
Judge Day has seen service on the su
preme court commission and Judge Es
telle had four years' experience on the
bench before his present term.
The four new aspirants for Judicial
honors are all lawyers in good standing
and repute.
W. A. Redlck is a popular son of
Omaha whose legal training, experience
and natural bent eminently fit him for
the bench.
A. C. Troup la a graduate of the
Iowa university law school, who has
for inony years been an active prac
titioner at the bar of this district and at
one time served as deputy county at
torney. He enjoys a high reputation
as a man of unblemished Integrity and
character.
A. L. Sutton has been a prominent
South Omaha attorney, who has rep
resented Douglas county In the legisla
ture and has also filled the position
of county commissioner In a satisfac
tory manner.
W. G. Sears is reputed to be one of
the ablest lawyers In the district and
possesses high qualifications for the
bench. Mr. Sears has represented Burt
county in two successive legislatures,
was speaker of the house of the legisla
ture of 1901 and one of the republican
leaders in the last legislature. He en-
oys the esteem and confidence of all
classes In his own county and is well
known to the people of Omaha and
the remainder of the district
The harmony that prevailed in the
convention Justifies the prediction that
the ticket will be endorsed by decisive
majorities by the people next No
vember. TO KVAKUtLlZK THK WOULD.
The proposed amalgamation of all the
Protestant church organizations in the
evangelical field, launched by the In
ternational Christian Endeavor con
vention, is a movement of the first mag
nitude In the religious world. The in
spiration of its leaders la nothing less
than the desire to unite all the Protest
ant denominations on the globe as an
active force to disseminate the doctrine
of Protestant Christian religion.
The Christian Endeavor society was
organised in the last quarter of the
nineteenth century. At the end of the
first decade there were 16,274 societies
with nearly 1,000,000 members, and to
day the 8,000 delegates now assembled
In Denver represent 03,000 societies
with a membership of 3,800,000. Five
years ago It was believed that the or
ganization had reached its maximum
strength, but contrary to all expecta
tion, the society has outgrown the most
sanguine expectations of its founders.
At the outset their object was to stim
ulate loyalty to the local churches and
demoninations while cultivating inter
denominational fellowship, and this
ideal struck a responsive chord In most
of the evangelical churches. The pro
posed merger of the Protestant propa
gandas contemplates the amalgamation
of the Christian Endeavor society, the
Epworth league, the Baptist union and
all other Protestant Christian societies
engnged in the work of proselyting.
This plan, if carried into effect can
not fail to have a tendency to gradu
ally eliminate all friction and all creed
distinctions among the great body of
rrotestants in America and Europe.
While standing for the same Idea of
fellowship and instruction the Endeav-
orers assembled at Denver represent
many widely different societies of
church government and many varia
tions of creed, but the all-absorbing de
sire to enlist In the active work of
evangelization the yonng people of all
Protestant churches appear to have
softened whatever asperities there may
exist among the discordant church ele
ments and Is rapidly molding the rank
and file of Christian workers Into one
buruioulous army.
KKKD CWUPXTfltT LABOR.
In A congratulatory dispatch to Presi
dent llooserelt from the American
Chamber of Commerce at Manila, upon
the coicpbtlou of the Pacific cable, it is
suggested that there should be a tem
porary admission of, competent labor to
the Philippines as necessary to their
prosperity. Dr. Washburn, chnlrmnn
of the Philippine Civil Service commis
sion, who recently returned from the
archlpelapo, states that skilled labor Is
greatly needed there and the demand
for skilled workmen and artisans is
bound to Increase. What Is meant by
competent labor lu the dispatch to the
president Is doubtless Chinese labor,
which ! rwt now admitted to tho
Islands. The busluess Interests have
sl-.own strong opposition to the policy
of excluding this labor and it Is doubt
less a fact that the progress and pros
perity of the Islands will be retarded
without It. The native labor is both
incompetent wnd unreliable. The Fili
pino does not like work and will do
only so much as their immediate ne-
raeVHe reo'iire. The Chinese laborer,
on tie othrr hand, Is both a capable
end a trustworthy worker. He will do
well ntul faithfully whatever task is
'ven him and does not require eon
ft"r watchlip. The proposition of the
I 'isIucrH Interests Is to admit this labor
f i- i specific) periixl and nnder such
, WMr.,i ns T.-UI Hdmlt of Its deporta-
; t at V cp!rt1on of the period, say
from three to fire years. It Is ques
tionable, however, whether congress can
be Induced to do this, though much will
depend upon the attitude of the Phil
ippine commission In regard to it
Aa to skilled labor, there will doubt
less be great difficulty In securing what
is needed and it will have to be paid
very liberally. According to Dr. Wash
bum Industrial conditions In the Phil
ippines are improving, though Improve
ment Is at present necessarily slow. He
says of the agricultural resources of the
islands that they are practically Inex
haustible because of the wonderful fer
tility of the soil.
GWOrTTB OT LABOR VXI0$.
The last quarterly bulletin published
by the New York State Department of
Labor presents some statistics bearing
on the growth of labor unions In that
state that are significant when taken In
connect lou with the new conditions that
have arisen In tho labor world. At the
end of March the recoids of the bureau
reveal the existence In New York state
of 2,303 labor organisations conducted
for the most port on trades union prin
ciples. This remarkable expansion wli:
be more fully realised in tho light of the
fact that in 1894 the number of unions
was only 800, or about one-third of the
present number. The table of New
York labor union growth since then as
given in the bulletin is as follows:
LABOR UNIONS IN NEW YORK STATE.

Tear. No. Increase, ship.
U94, July 1 83 .. 157.137
1896, July 1 27 7 180,ai
1S96. October 62 36 170.298
1&97, June K 17 14 151.30

1901, March 81 1,743 290 844,851
1902, March 31 1.930 188 279,950
1903, March 81 2,365 435 357,234
The compiler of the statistics notes
that the most striking increase in the
number of labor unions appeared In the
last twelve months, when the net gain
was 435, or more than one-half of the
entire number of unions existing In 1804;
but of the 438 new organizations 290
were added In the first six months of
the year, leaving only 130 as the net
gain for the period between September
30. 1902, and March 31. 1903.
The same thing seems to be true with
reference to the Increase in member'
ship of the labor organizations. Tlrt
really substantial growth apparently
dates from 1899, there being a gain of
60,000 for the year ending in March,
1900. 12.000 for the year ending March.
1001, 33,000 for the yeor ending Ararch,
1002, ' and 77,000 for the year ending
March. 1903. Of the large Increase In
the last year, moreover. 49,000 were
recorded In the first six months of the
year and only 28,000 In the last six
months.
While we are not Justified in relying
upon the figures for n single state as to
the foundation for general conclusions.
It is fair to assume that the tendency
so noticeable in New York state would
also be manifest In the labor statistics
of other states if they were available.
If the number of trades unions In the
United States and of their membership
has doubled within the past five years,
that growth alone la of tremendous sig
nificance as a factor in our most recent
industrial evolution. It emphasizes the
trend toword orgonlzatlon of both labor
and capital and discloses the powerful
forces at work making for the solidarity
of labor as well as of capital. Labor
movements In the past have gono In
waves and it is hardly probable that
the rate of Increase exhibited In these
tables will be maintained. On the other
hand, It is well to realize to what ex
tent the labor unions are with ns and
to have some approximate idea of their
condition and strength.
WA It T MONROE UOCTRIXB KXTSnDKLi
At the reception and dinner to the offi
cers of the American squadron at Buck
ingham palace, it Is stated that mem
bers Of the British cabinet expressed a
desire for nn extension of the Monroe
doctrine. "Recognizing the paramount
Influence of the United States in the
western hemisphere," said the report
"Great Britain wants Washington to
exercise control in some way over the
financial obligations of the Central and
South American states. Apparently,"
It is added, "Great Britain, not desiring
a repetition of the Venezuelan affair,
favors the adoption of meaus whereby
the smaller republics will be compelled
to meet their obligation without pres
sure from Europe."
This is not the first intimation that
has come from foreign countries of a
feeling that Inasmuch as the United
States has assumed the obligation of
protecting the southern republics
ugulust European aggression and insur
ing the Integrity of their territory and
non-interference with their political in
stitutions, It should also assume the
duty of requiring those republics to
pay their debts to foreigners and in
other respects observe their Interna
tional obligations. It is needless to say
that the Monroe doctrine was never in
tended to have any sneh application and
thut the uniform construction given It
by our government has gone no fur
ther than to assert the purpose of the
United States to safeguard the Inde
pendent countries of this hemisphere
against seizure of territory by foreign
powers or the forcible planting by such
powers of their political institutions In
those republics. It haa been repeat
edly shown, most conspicuously in the
' cuse of Venezuela, that our government
doos not propose to support any south
ern republic in refusing to pay Its just
debts, or to shield it from being held
to proper lesponslblllty for failure to
observe international obligations. Preal
dent Roosevelt has stated with clear
ness and precision the position of the
United Statea and it should be thor
onghly understood by the European
governments.
Nevertheless the feeling noted abroad
merits thoughtful consideration. There
are intelligent Americana who believe
that in according protection to the Cen
tral aud South American states against
foreign aggression the United States
should adopt means to prevent those
countries from provoking aggression.
They think that while we guarantee
their territorial and political soenrity
we should at the same time give assur
ance to foreign nations that they shall
be Justly and honestly dealt with. On
the face of It tills sppears reasonable.
It means that as guardians we should
assume responsibility for the conduct
of our wards. But it Is manifestly Im
practicable to do this. Our govern
ment cannot regulate the Indebtedness
of any southern republic. It cannot
control the amount of foreign invest
ments In any of those republics. If
European capitalists put money In rail
roads and other enterprises, or invest
In the bonds of the southern countries,
It Is a matter with which the United
States cannot concern itself.. Investors
take their chances there as elsewhere
and If the governments they deal with
fall to meet their obligations they may
take any means of securing payment
that doea not Involve a seizure of ter
ritory. That was tho only condition
required of the allies in the Venezuelan
affair and it la all that will be reanlred
In any future similar difficulty.
The United 8tates cannot control the
financial obligations of the Central and
South American statea and conse
quently it can assume no responsibility
for them. There will be no extension
of the Monroe doctrine as suggested by
members of the British cabinet
WlitRt WE LOSS TRADtl.
While our trade eenerally increased
during the last fiscal year and with
some countries notably Germany and
panada by many millions, we lost
trade in South America, our chief com
petitors In those markets, England nnd
Germany, making gains. With the ono
exception of Argentine every southern
country has been buying less and less
or tne united States of late. Statistics
Jnst issued show that this country in
ten years Has not gained $200,000 in Its
export trade with Chile, while Ger
many's Increase is almost as much as
the total export trade of this countrv
to Chile. Germany's trade with I'pmi
Is Increasing at the rate of 20 ner cent
a year, while Great Britain has not lost
anything by the competition of the
United States.
Tho reasons for this bad showing on
the American side of the account are
manifold, says the New York Commer-
clal. "We don't stivlv th ni. .,i
- - ar v mvcuo saiiva
the tastes of the South Americans holf
closely or carefully enough; we pack
our goods badly in many Instances; we
maintain no direct banking connections
of any Importance with these countries,
tno medium of exchange bein2 the En-
ropenn banks to a great extent; we
nave only n , few American vessels in
that carrying trade and few, if any.
fcpanlsu-speaklng Americans .represent
American exporters at the distributing
points down there." In the onlninn nf
the Commercial American ships, carry
ing tne American flag and aided by the
government te compete with thoua nt
Great Britain, . Germany, France and
tne Scandinavian countries, are a prime
necessity in cementing trade ties with
the Latin-American
w..u.. A
seems a reflection upon the enterprise
of our manufacturers and merchants
that they are unable to obtain a larger
snare or tne south American trade and
the only rational conclusion seems to
be that they have not made proper and
adequate efforts to secure it, or elso
they are unable to compete successfully
with the manufacturers and merchants
of Europe.'
As was to have been exnected. Ne-
braska la getting undeserved advertise
ment out of the Rhea hanging, which la
reported in the press dispatches as hav
ing been hurried to prevent Judicial In
terference, when as a matter of fact
the execution was delayed to give the
friends of the condemned man every on-
portunlty to resort to every legal avenue
or escape for him. After the supreme
court of the state bad once affirmed
the sentence and then denied the appeal
ror a writ of injunction, no inferior
court would hare any right to step in.
If the enforcement of a decree ordered

The Chicago Health bureau has Is
sued this notice to nil milk consumers:
'If your milkman sells you skim milk
from any can or vessel not painted a
vermilion rod and bearing the words
skim milk.' you have a right to cet
biro arrested, or should report the case
to the health department." If painting
the milk cans a vermilion red would
afford a guaranty of the purity and
healthful nesa of the cow fluid there
would be a heavy demand for red paint
in Omaha on very short notice. In
these parts the bluish color of the milk
la more suggestive of the word "skim"
than the red paint on the can is of
cream.
According to the Chicago Tribune al
manac man, it was Just twenty years
ago Thursday when ex-Governor John
P. St John of Kansas made the pre
diction that the republican party would
meet with the same overthrow aa the
whlgs nnless Its leaders recognised the
tidal wave of prohibition that waa
about to sweep the land from ocean to
ocean. Strange as it may seem, the
prophesies of St John, the Kansas Bap
tist have not yet come to pass.
According to the latest city directory.
Greater Chicago has a population ex
feeding 2.000,000 and the excise board
records credit Chicago with 7,040 11
censed saloons, or one saloon for every
284 of its population. Assuming that
three out of every five of the popula
tion are minors, there is a saloon for
every 113 of population, which indicates
a higher capacity for spirit consumption
than any other city in America, except
Greater New York.
Prof. G. Stanley Hall, as a great au

there is no reason why tne movement

of the victims have the courage of Mark

SECl'LAK SHOTS AT TIIE PILPIT.
Baltlmoro American: At Peterson, N. J.,
a theological student eloped with the
soprano of the church, the pulpit of which
he had been filling. The girl's mother ob
jected, but the young man rightly con
cluded that the young soprano had tha
most potent voice in the matter.
Indianapolis Journal: I'ne Salvation
Army, It Is said, has decided to begin a
campaign In the feud-rldden countries of
Kentucky. With no wUh o deprive Ken
tucky of Its ministrations, the Journal must
nevertheless call the army's attention to
the great need of civilizing and regenerat
ing work In the Evansvllle (Indiana)
district.
Philadelphia Press: The Presbyterian
organs are now having their Innings with
Rev. Robert A. Elwood, and they are no
more complimentary to him than the daily
press haa been. He entered the Presbyterian
church by a "short cut," nsver having
received the training that the demonlnn
tlon ordinarily requires or its ministers,
and now his fellow-presbyters are urging
that he be invited to trine the short cut
out of the pulpit.
Kasas City Star: Public sentiment Is
rather inollned to be passive regarding the
conference at Ocean Orove of the bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal church and
of the Methodist church (South), In
behalf of a reunion ot these divided
branches of Wesleyanlam. Their con
tinued separation, after most of the
other wounds created by the olvll war
have healed, Is so absurd and illogical as
to make It rather a cause of ridicule than
of. serious concern to the country and tho
religious world. . ,
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
The thermometer Is making faces these
days and manipulating tall figures.
Hungarta has . another boy wonder, a
violinist named Kua Arpad. That name
will smother the box office.
Perhaps Japan appreciates what It Is
going against. Human bantams are ex
ceedingly belltngerant at the mouth.
Experts estimate It will take $34,000,000
to eement the fragments of the asphalt
trust scattered around Philadelphia.
The rude treatment of a bogus British
lord In St. Louts Is calculated to deter
the fascinating tribe from giving eclat to
the show next year.
A Bt Louis man fell ninety feet without
seriously Injuring himself. Violent means
are generally necessary to Induce Bt.

The center of population Is not very far
from Evansvllle, Ind but If the shooting
keeps on the center will be obliged to move
Into Kentucky for safety.
The ex-queen of Hawaii, having failed
to eonnect with an appropriation In Wash
ington, is managing a native party. Queen
Lil hopes to worry the administration into
a mose generous attitude. She needs the
money.
Strangest of strange happenings abroad
is the ability of Americans to cut a dash
In a soolal way with the aid and assistance
of members of the gorgeous staff of the
governor of Illinois. Even the planet main
tains Its poise when they put their glad
clothes on.
It's a hot day in July when an ambitious
woman gets left on the gossip or her
neighborhood. One of the fair ones in
North Missouri, unable to attend the
customary club function, tied a telephone
receiver to her ear and caught all the
news going by while darning the socks
of Silas.

POPE LEO'S POEM Off DEATH.
In 1897 the pope felt the shadow of death
beginning to fall upon him, and. In splendid
defiance of Its power, wrote the following
-tro?;gehworkBr. 0oo',lwd "
Th bed"1''" U draw "ear hta elo"y
Leo, and gradual darkness veils thy head;
The sluggish life blood In thy withered
veins
More slowly runs Its course what then
remalnsf
Lol Death is brandishing his fatal dart.
And the grave yearns to shroud thy mortal
part:
But from Its prison freed, the soul expands
Exulting pinions to the enfranchised lands
My weary race Is run I touoh the goal:
Hear, Lord, the feeble pantlngs of my soul;
If it he worthy. Lord, thy pitying breast
Welcome it unto everlasting rest!
May t behold thee, Queen of earth and Sky,
Whose love enchained the demons lurking
nigh
The path to heaven; and freely shall own
'Twas thy sweat care that gained my
blissful crown!
