LABOR'S CtLtBRATlOX.
Tod.iy will b observed throughout the
country by the great army of organized
labor and this public holiday is one in
which all the people have learned to
take a deep interest, because it is really
one of the most significant occasions of
the year. On this day the country is
reminded of what a great force in the
body politic organized labor has grown
to be and also of the fact that It is
stendlly increasing in strength and in
Influence. The celebration will suggest
to the thoughtful reflection! in regard
to the material and moral power of this
mighty force and what may be Its duflo
and obligations, not alone to labor, but
as well to that which employ labor
and to the public interests and welfare.
This annnal labor celebration ought
to be fruitful of good results. It should
conduce to a wider and better knowl
edge of the condition and needs of the
lnlwrlng classes and a more friendly re
lation between the employe and. the em
ployer, between labor, aud capital. No
intelligent and unprejudiced person can
doubt, that organised, labor, is tin: this
lun'd bo firmly established that its
permanence is assured. The right of
those who- toll 'to associate themselves
for the promotion 'of their common in
terests is admitted by all. The vital
matter is that, such organization sbaH
be so directed that the Interests of those
Identified with It may be conserved
without Infringing unjustly upon the
rights of others and especially without
doing Injury to the public interests and
welfare. As President Eoosevelt has well
said, "the worth of an organization de
pends upon its being handled with skill,
courage, wlHdom, a, spirit of fair dealing
between man and man, and wise self
restraint." There Is no doubt that this
is more generally recognized by or
ganized labor than ever before and there
is reason to believe that It will be still
more largely recognized In futnre.
There is a growing sense of conserva
tism, we think, in the ranks of organized
labor which Is most promising In behalf
of what every good citizen desires and
should endeavor to promote industrial
peace. .

TUVTH ASD LOGIC. ':
The Omaha Bee, after speaking of' the
action of the state convention concerning
the Denver conference, says, "If, therefore,
the program mapped out at Denver is
abandoned, as It now seems it must be,
an attempt to hold a populist national
nominating convention next year Is cer
tain to prove abortive. It is doubtful If a
call for such a convention would recefve a
response from a dozen states in the union."
The "If" in that sentenoe is the all-Important
word. Should the program marked
out at Denver be abandoned there is no
doubt that the result would be just as
The Bee state it. But It is not going to
be abandoned. The above remarks by The
Bee with the words "as It now seems it
must be" stricken out, were taken from
the speech of the editor of the Independent
at the Grand Island, convention and the
truth of them must be apparent to any
one who .will seriously . consider them.
The Nebraska Independent.
Admit the truth and the logical In
ference follows. . At the Grand Island
convention every champion of the Den
ver manifesto, Including the editor of
The Independent, Insisted that the pro
gram therein mapped out offered the
only way to maintain a national popu
list organization. Every one of them
insisted that If the work of the Denver
conference was repudiated by Nebraska
populists its success ; in other states
would be seriously jeopardised. More
than one of the speakers declared in
substance, "Vote down this resolution
of endorsement and you vote the popu
list party out of existence." The Grand
Island convention voted down' the reso
lution by referring It to the next state
convention. If the Deliver conference
populists knew what they . were saying,
the prospect for a . populist national
convention next year with bona fide
delegations present from more than a
dozen states is mighty slim.

The aspirations of Hon. John L.
Webster for vice presidential honors
are receiving flattering encouragement
in. various sections of the country. The
unanimity with .which his candidacy
was endorsed by the republican state
convention bas attracted wide attention
and the almost foregone conclusion that
the second place on the national ticket
will, go to the west has brought to him
assurances of support from leading re
publicans of other states. Although no
aggressive campaign has yet been
opened for blm, his candidacy la obtain
lng more than passing notice not only
in Nebraska and adjoining states, but
also in states east of the Mississippi.
Since his presentation by the stato con
vention, Mr. Webster has had invita
tions to address several representative
gatherings and will this woek appear
as one of the speakers at the American
Mining congress along with Secretary
Shaw and other distinguished public
men. If this demand for the? serving
of the Nebraska candidate keeps up, be
will be busy from now to the close of
the Impending national campaign.

According to officially complied fig
ures, more than 5,000,000,000 pounds of
sugar, valued at over 1100,000,000, was
brought into the United States in the
fiscal year Just ended. This is a larger
importation of sugar than in any pre
ceding year in the history of the coun
try. The total number of pounds of
sugar brought into America during the
year was 8,217,077,064, while in no ear
lier year In the history of the country
has the Importation of sugar ever
reached 0,000,000,000 pouuds. Th
largest Importation In any earlier vear
was that of 1897, when the totil was
4.018.005,733 pounds.
Oa the other side, the domestic produc
tion for the same fiscal year of 1003 was
ouly ' 600,000,000 pounds. While the
amount of imported beet sugar has been
decreasing, the output of domestic beet
sugar has been Increasing, yet plainly
at nowhere near the rate of increase of
total domestic consumption.
There Is no good reason why tha
United States should not develop a beet
sugar industry that will eventually sup
ply Its entire home market The produc
tion of this sugar out of beets grown at
home would distribute a Inrge part of
the 100,000,00 paid for imported sugar
nmong our owp American farmers. This
is something worth working for.

Next week the Alaskan boundary com
mission will get down to substantial
work, the arrangement agreed upon pro
viding that oral arguments shall be
commenced on the . fifteenth ot this
month and the expectation is that they
will be concluded early in October.
There is some misapprehension, It ap
pears, as to what this commlrwlon was
appointed to do, the common Impres
sion being, as gathered from newspaper
statements, that it is an arbitration
tribunal. That seems to.be the Mew
taken of it by the British and Canadian
governments) but it is not in accord
with the American view. It is cor
rectly pointed out that both President
McKlnley and President Roosevelt have
consistently held that the right of the
United States to its Alaskan coast strip
is 'too well established for arbitration!
and it W understood to be the view of
our Department of State that, this com
mission or tribunal is not one of arbi
tration, hi the proper sense of the term.
Former Secretary of State John W.
Foster, who Is "one of the American
counsel, has thus defined the character
of the tribunal: "The treaty does not
submit any American territory to the
adjudication of arbitration, but croates
a commission of three American and
three British experts to determine where
the line should .be drawn lictwcon
Alaska and British Columbia." The real
question, therefore, ia that of defining
the terms of the treaty of 1825 between
Great Britain and Russia, which from
the American point of view sets forth
the boundary of Alaska in terms that
afford no Justincatlon of the claims of
Canada as has repeatedly been pointed
out, the contention of our government
is tbat in purchasing Alaska the United
States succeeded to the Russian title to
the territory, acquired by the treaty
with Great Britain, and that 'this title
was never questioned by Canada until
the idea took possession of the people
ot the Dominion that they should have
a northern Pacific port or ports. There
upon they advanced a new cone-tructlon
of the treaty of 1825 and ever since
have been insisting upon it, making
every other question in issue between
that country and this subordinate to
the boundary controversy.
So far as can now be judged, there
is not much promise of an agreement
by the commission and in fact the gen
eral opinion is that the deliberations of
that body will leave the matter unset
tled. It is recognized as practically cer
tain tbat no vital concession that is,
none Involving any relinquishment of
territory vill be made by the Ameri
can commissioners, while it is regarded
as equally ure that the twe Canadian
representatives will firmly adhere to
their contention. The British commis
sioner is Lord Chief Justice Alverstone,
who is the chairman of the commission,
and it is possible, though it can hardly
be regarded as probable, that he will side
with the American contention. Should
he acquiesce in the Canadian view
there of course would be no decision
and the Alaska situation would remain
as it now Is. The very strong position
of the United States at least warrants
the hope of a different result
The very ingenious scheme of Presi
dent Nash to give the electric light
company the monopoly of public light
ing in Omaha does not contemplate a
reduction of the tax levy for street
lighting by a single dollar, nor .does It
contemplate or suggest the slightest re
duction In the cost of electric light sup
plied to the private consumers. Why
then should the mayor and council en
tertain any proposition looking toward
the extension of the electric lighting
contract, which has yet over two years
to run, for ten years, or even for five
years?
Judge Sullivan declares under oath
that his renomlnatlon did not cost him
a cent although he expects the local
hospitality committee to draw on hlin
for $25 as a promised contribution to
the fund to provide for the entertain
ment of the convention. Lee Herdnyin,
however, has not yet filed his sworn
statement showing hdV much It cost
him for fusing by telephone.
Secretary Wilson wants the schools
to teach the elements of agriculture
with the idea that they will tend to
check the exodua from fatal to city if
not to produce a counter movement from
city to farm. Tfie difficulty In the past
has not been in acquiring the ublllty
to farm as the stability to stay on the
farm. If farm schools can teach both
they may be successful.
The next time the city charter is re
vised the government of the city of
Omaha with all its departments should
be vested In the seven judges of the
district court Instead of a mayor and
city council, city clerk, treasurer, comp
troller and Board of rubllc Work's, with
tho specific proviso that the. judges
should not enjoin or mandamus each
other in cases of differences of opinion.
Omaha socialists have the courage of
their convictions. They have nominated
their county ticket with full knowledge
that it is foredoomed, but, like the fa
mous six hundred tbat marched down
the valley of death with cannon thun
dering to the right of them and cannon
thundering to the left of them, they
propose to stand by their flag until the
last gun is fired.
According to the democratic definition,
conducting a campaign "on a higher
plane" means tbat the republican
papers should keep silent about all the
blemishes ou the official record of the
fusion candidate, while the democratic
organs freely Indulge their license to
malign and throw mud at the repub
lican nominee.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
Progress Regrettably Slow in n Mnch
Needed Reform.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The committee' of the American Bar as
sociation on uniform legislation reported
that twenty-two states have adopted a
uniform law on negotiable Instruments,
while only three have passed divorce laws
which provide that persons cannot secure
a divorce in any state for a cause which
would not entitle them to a divorce In the
state In which they reside. The business
of the country is of great Importance, but
ia It paramount? Is it not Juet as import
ant that the marriage bond and the post
tlon of the family should be established
beyond doubt T
Uniformity is generally regarded as Im
practicable. If not impossible; but in twelve
European countries the practice Is Identical
by International agreement. Mr. Juatice
Simeon Baldwin of the Connecticut supreme
court has said:
Nothing can be more important to society
than that there should be certainty as to
what constitutes a marriage and what dls
solves It Europe Is now. In this, far in
advance of the I'nlted States. A judgment
of divorce may be valid and effective In
one of our states which would be treated
as absolutely void In another. There Is no
uniformity as to conditions under which
a court may assume Jurisdiction of such a
proceeding.
The decision of Sir Francis Jeune's court
In London, in the Constantlnldl divorce
case, the other day Is notice to us that
we are In European eyes, or at least In the
purview of the sober and orderly British
courts, merely pagan in treating the mar
riage Trond, which ia at the foundation of'
the family and the state. Constantlnldl, a
wealthy Greek merchant, domiciled fn Lon
don, was granted a separation from hit
wife In 1898, and the decree prohibited the
remarriage of the woman, who wlahel to
marry the family phyrlclan. She had heard
of the 111 fame of South Dakota, hied her
self thither, and, after. a six months' resi
dence, wss granted an absolute divorce
by the complaisant court, which decides
these things with an eye single to revenue
and the prosperity of the state. She mar
ried again and the British court de-He 1
that this second marriage was of no force
in the United Kingdom.
One of the counsel In the c-e cal'el Ihs
South Dakota proceeding by the harsh
name of a "fraud upon civl'.lied Jurispru
dence," and not a good American resents
the Imputation he has put upon us. It U
barbarous, and as much almost may be
said of the general treatment of divorce In
the United States, where nearly all the
states pursue the even tenor of their re
spective ways and grant divorces for dif
ferent reasons In aa incoherent meaner.

HlppUa on the tnrrent of Lite in the
Metropolis,
With the advent of September there is
passing from the streets ot tho metropolis
the picturesque urchin of tender yeara who
sells newspapers for a living and whose
fume has gone abroad through the land for
many years. That Is, the small "newsle"
will pass, if the law which went Into effect
on September 1 la rigidly enforced. The
law provides that no male child under 10
and no girl under 16 ytars of age shall In
any city of the first class sell or expose or
offer for sale newspapers in any street or
public place. No boy "actually or appar
ently under 14 years of age" shall sell or
expose for sale any newspaper unless a
permit and badge have been provided by
the district superintendent of the Board of
Education on the application of the parent,
guardian or other person having the cus
tody of the boy desiring such ermlt. The
district superintendent is required to ex
amine, approve and place on file the satis
factory proof that such boy is 10 years ef
age or upward. If the proof Is satisfac
tory the district superintendent may then
Issue a permit and badge. The permit will
contain a full description of the boy to
whom it la Issued the color of his hair and
eyes, his hlght and weight and any dis
tinguishing facial characterlsyca. The
badge must be worn conspicuously at all
times while the boy Is at work.
The wit and readiness at repartee of the
New Tork newsboy has long been a proverb
throughout the country. As a rule he Is
bright and up-to-date, given to slang, some
times profanity, and as a crap-shooter has
few superiors. Many of the most success
ful of these small news merchants are un
der the prescribed age, and they form no
unimportant part In the breadwlnntng econ
omy of many a household In the poorer
quarters of the city. Now these young
sters must go to school and learn to be

Under the shadow of the "Waldorf, in
Thirty-fourth street, there is a hotel af
fected almost exclusively by "gentlemen's

servants in large houses know when a valet
leaves, and they report the fact to others,
who In turn pass along the news. Or the
servant himself, whether he be discharged
or resigns, goes to the haunt of his col

his former employer wants a successor.
Then the unemployed seek out the valetlees.

A. I. Voorhees. a farmer living on the
Jersey side, turned a trick on a brace of
confidence men last week. Early In the
morning a well groomed stranger drove up
to the voorhees residence and asked If the
Voorhees property was for sale. Voorhees
told him that the farm could be bought,
and the stranger was shown through the
house and a tour was made of the farm.
The prospective purchaser seemed to be
pleased with the lay of the land and was
going over the details of a bargain when
a man coming down the road stopped them
and asked the way toNew Brunswick. He
claimed to be from Alabama and said that
he had lost his way. The fellow pretended
to be Insane and pulled a roll of greenbacks
and a pack of cards out of his pocket. At
the sight ot the cards Voorhees became
suspicious. The man with the roll said he
wanted to get rid of the money, but could
find nobody to take It. He handed each of
the men In the carriage a to bill. Voorhees
stuck the greeback In his vest pocket and.
Jumping out of the carriage, bade the men
good-bye, telling them that the game was
too old for that locality. The man from
Alabama suddenly recovered his reason and
leaping Into the carriage he was rapidly
striven away, swearing a blue streak as he

Pleasure Can Be Bought, bnt Enjoy
ment ie a Different Article.
Harper's Weekly.
We are used to feel to put it crudely
that folks who have health and money
ought to be happy. And so they should.
A sufficient income promotes comfort, and
that contributes to cheerfulness of spirit;
and to have health of course means to feel
well, and that is a long step toward feeling
good. But how far do we have to look to
find persons with health to squander and
more money than they know how to spend
making strenuous efforts to attain happi
ness and merely achieving impaired health T
If you have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is a
different article; and even when you have
got enjoyment happiness may still elude
you. Pleasure palls and sometimes demor
alizes; enjoyment easily yields to weari
ness; but you don't get tired of being happy,
and you may be ever so tired and be happy
still.
Happiness Is a state of satisfaction. One
reason why It Is so elusive may be because
we human creatures are a complication of
body, mind and spirt, and require for our
complete satisfaction a particularly nice
djustment of blessings and of comfort. If
we Indulge the body too much the other
two partners become mutinous; If we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down, and If we bestow all our attention
on mind and body, the spirit. Ignored, taken
a sure vengeance on us for our neglect. It
Is so difficult so to measure and direct our
efforts as to appease all the demands of our
triplicate natures that the simpler way la
to regard happiness as a by-product, give
over all direct attempts to acquire a con
slant sSpply of It and simply accept how
ever much of It may come while we go
about our" business with such Intelligence
as we can. We can usually keep our bodies
In fair repair if we are not too laty or too
self-indulgent; If we have to arn our Uv
Ings our minda, and bodies, too, find occu
pation that is usually wholesome; and the
discipline of work done, as it usually Is, for
others as wail as for ourselves, helps to
satisfy the exactions of the spirit
TALK. OF TUB STATE FHEM.
Mullen Tribune: Judge J. B. Barnes of
Norfolk was nominated by acclamation for
supreme judge by the . republican state
convention at Lincoln. It was but a fitting
tribute to Nebraska's able Jurist and du
re n and his majority this fall will be ex
ceedingly large.
Wausa Gazette: The many bouquets
thrown at Judge Barnes by the press In all
parts ot the state would indicate that he
is a pjpular favorlto with the people and
not the dreaded corporation tool, forced
onto the party by the railroads, aa the
World-Herald would make It appear.
Wahoo Wasp: It took 111 ballots for
the State Board of Education to decide on
Kearney aa the location for the new nor
mal achaol for which the last legislature
appropriated 360,000. We are of the opinion
that the selection of Kearney will give
pretty general satisfaction throughout the
state.
O'Neill Frontier: Just thirty-nine coun
ties out of a total of ninety counties in Ne
braska were represented at the Grand
Island convention, and the counties that
had representation there were only repre
sented by from one to two and three per
sons from each county, except in about
half a dozen Instances, where, counties had
as many as five or six.
Stanton Picket: 'Notwithstanding the
convention statement of Judge Sullivan that
Judge Barnes is a gentleman, a scholar and
an able lawyer, there are those of his party
who will not see It that way and are dis
charging mud batteries loaded to the mux
sla In Mr. Barnes' direction. Some editors
appear to think their bread and butter de
pends upon their abuse of opposing candi
dates. The more abuse-the more bread and
butter.
Wausa Gazette: Chairman Lindsay of the
republican state central committee has
given out the statement that the campaign
this fall will be carried on with as much
energy and effort as if the outcome was
actually In doubt. There will thus be lit
tle chance of the fusion forces finding the
republicans napping. Moreover, a thorough
campaign this fall will pave the way for a
so much more glorious victory next year.
Dakota City Eagle: James C. Robinson
of Hartlngton, republican nominee for
Judge ot the Eighth judicial district, was
In town last Thursday seeing his old
friends and acquaintances and making new
ones as well. Mr, Robinson having been
state senator at one time bas a wide
aqualntanoe throughout this district. He la
a scholarly gentleman and makes friends
as fast as acquaintances wherever he goes.
His election to the bench Is a foregone
conclusion.
Kearney Hub: State Superintendent Fow
ler comments on the increase In the pro
portion qf women teachers In the state.
Last year, he states, the number of male
teachers was. 18 per cent, whereas this year
it will be between 18 and 17 per cent. Un
doubtedly the opportunities In more lucra
tive employments are responsible for the
decrease. It Is easy to agree with the
superintendent's conclusion that the teach
ing profession Is becoming more and more
the province of women.
Fremont Tribune 1 Some friend of State
Chairman Harry Lindsay should have In
troduced In the republican state convention
resolution endorsing him for the position
of United States district attorney, to which
he aspires and for which he already has
as fine a line of endorsements as any man
ever had. It would have gone through
with a whoop and would have shown once
more what Nebraska republicans think of
the action of Senator Joseph H. Millard
In keeping Billy Summers, the friend of
Joe Bartley, la .the place. .
Albion News; The Nebraska Independent,
which has stuck to populism through thick
and thin for these many years, asserts that
the death-blow was administered the party
by the recent action at Grand Island, not
In the matter of the nominations, but In its
failure to endorse the work of the recent
Denver conference. The Independent Insists
that this action "can have no other logical
conclusion than the abandonment of the
populist organization in Nebraska, if no
steps be taken to counteract the effect of
the convention's body-blow."
O'Neill Frontier: Those people who met
In convention at Grand Island remind us
of the doctor who Insists on going to see
his patient after he gets well and then
tries to collect the bill for the extra and
needless visits. During the hard times
produced by democratic administrations
the people did get sick financially and
were looking for political doctors, but
since the republicans got into power and
times became good again the people have
no further use for political doctors, and
when these bogus political doctors under
take to collect their bill on election day
they will find the people refuse to deliver
the goods, and will not pay for .the useless
visit to Grand Island.
Tllden Citizen: Judge Barnes, the re
publican candidate for Judge of the supreme
court, Is known and respected in this lo
cality aa a well equipped lawyer, a gentle
man and a consistent republican. All the
silly stuff printed in democratic and popu
list papers against him Is simply, waste of
good printers' Ink where the Judge Is
known. The chief point attempted to be
made in the editorials is that, he being the
only candidate before the convention and
his nomination belag unanimous, he la
therefore the tool of all the railroads doing
business in Nebraska. With the same pro
priety and with as much reason, republi
cans might charge that Inasmuch as Judge
Sullivan's nomination was made under pre
cisely the same conditions he Is therefore
the hireling of the soulless corporations that
have ground down the farmers of the state
until their land isn't worth less than IM
an acre. Substitute "our man Sullivan"
for "our man Barnes" In the World-Herald
and Its Imitators' columns of non
sensical political rubbish and the yellow
republican newspapers ' would have their
slogan ready made for the campaign al
ways supposing that such a monstrosity as
an Impertinent blackguard could be found
editing a republican newspaper In this
state. . '
