The country knows thoroughly President Roosevelt and the people have faith In him. As was said by Senator Bevetidge in sec onding the nomination of Sir. Roose velt, the people trust him as a states man and love him as a man. Senator Fab-banks la not so well known to the country, but'it will learn that he ia a man of sterling character and fine abil ity, who has had long experience in public affairs and also has had a suc cessful business career. He did not rseek the nomination, but accepted it from a sense of duty, and be undoubt edly will grow In popular favor as the campaign. In which he will probably take a conspicuously active part, pro greases. i Only twice la forty-four years has the republican party met defeat in a presi dential election. With Roosevelt and Fairbanks as Its standard bearers it should this year achieve one of the greatest victories in its history. TRVBTa ADD MODVOUOa. Inhis speech as permanent chairman of the republican national convention Mr. Cannon made a statement which merits more than passing attention. He said statistics show that competition Is ater all the great foce that regulates production' and the price. "If Vou" all the alleged trust properties engaged in productloa In the year 1000," declared Mr. Cannon, "they produced 14 per ceut while the Independent factories pro- daced 60 per cent of the factory product of the country. It is impossible," he added, "to permanently corner1 capital and muscle and the raw material which nature has produced in such, abun dance." : ' . ' It Is a very common but wholly mis taken idea that the greater part of everything in the line of manufactures Is chiefly produced by the t industrial combinations. For example, the Steel trust has to meet In the market the competition of hundreds of Independent manufacturers and these, will in time, tbere Is good reason to .believe, compel a dissolution of the trust That com bination found It Impossible to corner the raw material and therefore could not stop competition, which has been Increasing ever since the steel corpora tion was organized. There Is no exist ing trust that we know of. unless- it be the Standard pil colnpany, that. has a monopoly in its line of production. All hare competition and will continue to have so long as protection Is accorded to the independent 1 manufacturer. Withdraw',, this and" the independent manufacturer would have to go out of business as well as'the trust, though It Is by no means certain' that the latter Would not survive. Those who demand that tariff duties be removed from ar- tlcles manufactured by a combination or trust ignore the Yuct that a tariff law must be equal In its operation, so that If - removing duties would crush the trbsts it would Inevitably also de stroy the independent manufacturers, who are now t safeguard against trust exactions.

The country merchant comes to the city regulnrly several times a yenr, but these trade excursions offer the only opportunity to the city Jobber to come in personal touch with the country mer , chant at his own home. The exchange of visits Is certain to promote better understanding and more conltftl feeling, and for this should be encouraged as well as for the direct business benefits. ' The Real Estate exchange has been listening to a man from Mexico who has been trying to impress his auditors with the promising prospects of the country to the south of tis declaring that there are nine chances of making money In Mexico to one in the states. The man from Mexico forgot to say that there are also nine chances of losing money in Mexico to one in the states. People who want to speculate or gamble may occasionally strike it in Mexico. People who want to Invest money for steady returns will not have to go away from Omaha and Nebraska. It is said that no Nebroskan who made the trip to Chicago for the pur pose of attending the republican na tional convention failed to get into the hall for lack of a ticket If the Coif nty Democracy excursionists expect to fare as well at St Louis it might not be a bad idea for them to find out iflrst how It Was done at Chicago. Is not the scheme to condemn Joslyn castle and make its grounds part of the Omaha parte system a trifle premature? Why not let the absentee lord bold.his feudal estate a few years and pay taxes on itl ,If he is constitutionally .opposed to paying taxes in Omaha the city may get the property finally by operation of the scavenger law. . . The South Omaha city council Is said to be considering the purchase of voting machines for use in the elections in that city. The only objection to the installa tion of Burn machines there is that It might deprive the lawyers of the lucra tive business arising out of annual elec tion contests based on alleged fraud in South Omaha. . , r '. The Insurance companies are objecting as strenuously to paying city taxes un der the new revenue- law as ever the railroads did. Of course all they wish to do ls'-to test the validity of the in surance clause as a matter of principle, but the incidental sarlng they will ef fect If they win out will not be passed up.

Express: The state board has raised the railroad assessment In Ne braska T19.000.0CO. or nearly TO per cent. While this may possibly fall short of one fifth of their actual value, yet this sub stantial Increase Is a long step' toward an approximately correct valuation of tho railroads. Of course this big increase will not please the fuslonlst. for It will take away about the only Issue they had in the state. Hastings Tribune: After almost oontdn-' Uous deliberation since the second of Hay the State Board of Assessment has at last fixed the assessed valuation .of all the rail road property In the state at M8,017,683. an Increase of something less than $19,000,000 over the last previous' assessment This assessment 1 lower than expectation had como to be, general opinion had come to concentrate on $50,000,00 as the probable valuation that would be made. - The long period which the matter ha been under deliberation, the strenuosity of argument which has been yielded as to the amount of Increase which should be applied to railroad taxation has given an Idea of the difficulty In metlrig out; Justice to all. The wide disparity between the values named has made It evident that either someone has been trying to impose, or someone has been trying to evade duty, and as there Is such a pronenese toward the latter ' known to generally exist, sus picion of the latter has -been tending to form. t One of ' the dlfflcultlee In making an equitable adjustment in matters of this sort is that the preponderance of expert knowledge Is likely to be on the side of the railroads. Their repreeentatlves are likely to be tnen Whose profession tt Is to do with transportation' and transportation companies, expert by Virtue of the knowl edge which they-must' possess In order to be f service" to1 theHf employers In their capacities, while ttaosei.hoBe duty It Is to look after the vjreveaiue '-of the state usually have not the knowledge to see througWany deception which experts might perpetrate, when It 1st assumed that the former attempt to do their duty con scientiously. But an Increase of 119,000,000 Is, a step, and If it I not enough, by the mean whereby this Increase in valuation was ob tained there will follow a correct adjust ment. Knowledge of conditions from this on will accumulate rapidly, and when It Is complete the problem Will be solved. - Butt Oasette: The State Board of Equalization ha raised the railroad as sessment over last year's assessment over 68 per cent This father gives the He to tha charge of the fusion force that the railroad own the republican pltrty In If-' braska. . Albion Nsws: It Is announced from tin coin that the state board ha decided that the aggregate assessment of the railroad of the state shall be fixed at Mfl.0U.68i. This Is an Increase over last year of about 119,000,000. Whether this Is an equitable Increase or not is a matter of opinion, and there will naturally be, a reat diversity ot opinion. The railroad have had many ot the ablest men In their employ representing them before the board, presenting all kinds of argument to Induce the board to lower the assessment It Is fair to presume th board ha tried to be fair both with th railroad and th public Whether vthey have succeeded or not Is hardly susoeptible of proof. We are free to say that we had hoped for a higher assessment, but will not assume to say that th board has not acted fairly and honestly. It Is natural for the man of small means to think that th wealthy man and especially the great cor pora tfons are not mullced sufficiently In ' th matter of taxation. There Is always Inequality In taxation because Imperfect man cannot fram a perfect' revenue law. central ntv Knnnareil: The State Board of Equallxatlon. after four weeks of de liberation and painstaking investigation. 1 dnaiiv attleil unnn 1-16.000.000 as the taxable valuation f railroad property In thla State. Thl IS an increase 01 auum l9,00f'.(iP0 over last year, or about 70 per cent. Compared with the average of as sessments over the state, this would sp- n ha nlantv hlirh enough. It Will make a difference In Merrick county alone of over 1300.000. Chappell Begister:. Th State Board of r-r,i(Ttlnn has rdnceri the total value of railroad property In the state at t,000,000, an Increase of 66' per cent over last year. The railroad attorneys mnde the fight of their live to keep the nesment down, and the state fcoard Is to be commended for th stnd 4t has taken.

Th former are th outcome of popular upris ings against the tyranny of rulers In other words, of a demand, as of a natural right, by the people. Consequently, even in mos' archlcal Europe, constitutions axe drawn In such term a to lay the greatest stress upon popular rights, while at th same time curtailing the power of the sov ereign. The Japanese constitution, on th other hand, emanated from the emperor, the fountain head of all power. Before the people dreamed of popular rights or of a parliament, the emperor had already marked out the grand policy of estab lishing constitutional government in th future, because of his evident desire and purpose to elevate the country to an equal place among the civilised nations .of th world, not only because he wished It, but also because that course was in strict ac cordance with the national policy be queathed by hi Imperial ancestors, fol lowing that policy, our constitution was drawn up with close adherence to and care ful preservation of the fundamental prin ciple of the Imperial government from time Immemorial. "In form, however, it . 1 similar to western constitutions, with thla differ ence, that the text of our constitutions contains only th fundamental principles of state, namely, the prerogatives of the emperor; the rights and duties of ths people; the powers of Parliament; the power and duties of minister of state and Judiciary and finance. The ar all embodied In seventy-six article Matters of detail, such, for example, as provisions relating to the rules and proceedings of Paruamontf the law for election of mem- oer, me national budget, . eto,, are sepa rated from articles enunciating funda mental principle, and are, embodied la laws supplementary to th constitution and en acted at th same tlm." . Writing about life in Japan during war time, George. Kennan relates these charac teristic Incidents in th Outlook: Leaving the carriage, I made my way' with soms difficulty toward a big American flag, which I could see side by side with a Japa nese standard- near th center of th throng.. Just before I reached It on of th band suddenly struck up "Th Battle Cry of Freedom." The whole assemblage In stantly burst Into a thunderous shout of "Bansai!" and before I knew it I was hold ing both hand aloft In tha Japanese fash ion, and shouting "Bansai!" with all th votoe I had. It wa not th batile cry with which I was moat familiar, but if th Japa nese were going to carry -our ling and play our muslo I was ready to adopt their hurl rah. A few minute later another band began to play '"John, Brinn's body lie n moulderlng In the grouua;" and I doubt very much whether that old war song,, to which so many thoua.! cf American troops have, marched, evr stirred th fight ing spirit of a stranger or more- patriotic assemblage - of people than the crow J of bareheaded Japanese labor!, artisans, fishermen and sailors, who hold their hsncs aloft under that forest of don; and shouted "Bansall for- th great emplra of Japan, bansai!" Th patriotism of th Jananes people strike even an American ai something ex traordinary and phenomenal.

"Three or four day ago an English lady living on th "Bluff" in Tokohama received a letter from a Japanese boy who had been em ployed In her house as a servant and who had gone to Cores with th first reserve. After giving her dm new of his health and his movements, he concluded by say ing.
