In favor of retaining such a law oh the
etatute books. It la too burdensome for
practical purposes. But, of course, this Is
matter for tha legislature and not for
tha courts. In my own case, I know tha
plan la too burdensome and severe on the
voter. I am willing to concede that. I
count myself of ordinary Intelligence and
It took me twenty-five minutes to oaat my
ballot. When I got down the Hat tha first
time I thought I had made no mlstakea,
. but, t counted and found 4 had voted for
, only seventy-three men, ten short."
Judge Kennedy The law, seems to b a
little cumbersome in Its practical opera
tion as It works out. and I believe It ought
to be changed. I believe the rotation sys
tem Is all right. The difficulty la that
there are too many candidates to be voted
on. If the delegates were elected In each
precinct Instead of at large the number
to be voted on would be amall enough to
do away with the objectionable features.
I think there should also be provision made
for the expression of preference for can
dtdatea for office. This would be according
to the direct primary Idea. If the direct
primary were state wide there would bo
no need of a convention and hence no
necessity for electing delegates.
Judge Troup I am In favor changing
the law, as there Is no doubt It Is cum
bersome In Its operation. This Is a mat
ter to be taken before the next session
of the legislature, where the remedy should
ba sought,
Howard H. Baldrlge, chairman of the
Rosewater, campaign Committee, waa not
surprised at the outcome and had this to
say of the rotation ballot:
"In my opinion the law should permit
... the voter accurately and easily to express
his choice at the polls. The present law
requiring rotation of names aa Interpreted
by tha court when applied to the selection
f a large number of delegates to a nomi
nating sonventlon makes It too difficult
for the voter to express his choice. Every
objection urged by the attorneys before
the court against the enforcement of this
law has boen proved by this primary to
have been well raised. The law should

"As a matter of fairness If a man's name

LEGISLATION OF FAR-REACHING EFFECT
Hon. Jki I. Kennedy Talks on tho
Resnlts of Congressional Wsrk
Mnny Important Bills'
' Passed.
Congressman John JL Kennedy Is back
from Washington,, asM while he Is pretty
well tired out by th strenuous labors of
the session f congreis, speaks enthusiasti
cally of the results adcomplleheri. He said:
'The first. 'session of the Flfry-nlnth con
gress will prove to bj the most Important
Id the history of the country since the
civil war. - This is particularly true because
the measures enacted Into law are mostly
constructive In character and will
strengthen our Institutions and laws and
develop our trade.
"The railroad leglslatlan would of Itself
make the session memorable". "It la a
gr't step forward-In the regulation and
control of ,'oommon carriers. The people
have clxnplnlned. ncrt'RQ much of excessive
rates, as of unfair discriminations. The
new lnw will In large measure correct these
evils. Tile discussions on the bill make
It perfectly plain that It Is the Intention
to perfect the law still further If necessary
and that In the meantime Its provisions
must lie carried Into effect without fear or
favor. )
'Btntchood has been granted to Okla
homa and the Indian Territory and It Is
left to Arlxona and New Mexico to say
whether or not they ' shall be admitted
as one state. Should either of them declare
RKalnM Joint statehood that will end It
for years to come. The new state of Okla
homa will come In with a large, energetic
and enthusiastic, . i-lllzenship and It has
a great future Jx-fore It.
The removal of the tax on denatured

"The, pure food law will be a godsend
to the people. The Investigation made In
ttwy house established the fact that many
of. the most common articles of food and
irlnk are adulterated and are sold by short
weight-or measures. I'nder the n 'lw
Consumers w-ni know what they eat or drink
and huw much thoy'-get of It for their
money,' . .
"Tho mest' Inspection measure Is In
class by Itself and will have far-reaching
consequences. Tlr public agitation of the
subject did g-eat Injury to the trade and
Is to be regretted. The ultimate effect,
however, will be a benefit to the entire
country. The testimony taken before the
agricultural committee of the house did
not disclose that diseased meats were be
ing canned or sold, but .that in some casea
the aanltary conditions were Imperfect. A
permanent annual' appropriation of $3,000,000
was made to cover the cost of Inspection,
thus distributing the burden equitably upon
all the people. "' To shave done otherwise
would have been' ts tax the west and the
Industries of the west for tha benefit of
the east. I'nder the provisions of the pure
feod law the "cost "of Inspection Is to be
borne by the geiiWalVgovernmont. There. Is
jto good reason Why a, different rule ahould!
he applied In uva.eane or meat inspection.
"The new naturalization law will make
uniform throughout the United Btatea all
proceedings relating to cltlcenshlp, and will
preserve, them to (Jie third and fourth gen
erations, It will dignify American cltl
xenshlp, and make certain to the natural
lEed citizen the protection of the govern
ment at horns and abroad.
"The settlement of the type of the Isth
mian canal was of vital importance. The
sea level plan would have entailed an ex
pense of $230,000,000 or mors, and under that
plan twenty years at least would have bean
required for Its construction. The lock type
can be built In half the time, for less than
half the cost and may be changed after

I take It for granted that our duty to
the socalled Inferior races Is not discharged
by merely feeding them In times of famine
of by oontiibutlng to their temporary sup
port when some other calamity overtakes
them. A much greater assistance Is rend,
ered them when they are led to a more
clevHtcJ plane of thoueht and activity by
Ideals which stimulate them tn self-develop,
ment. The Improvement of ths people
themselves should be the paramount object
In all Intercourse with the orient.
Among the blessings which the Christian
nntluna are at thla time able and In duty
bound to carry to the rest of the world I
tuny mention five, education, knowledge of
the science of government, arbitration as
a substitute for war, appreciation of the
dignity of labor and a high conception of
life.

Education oomeo first, and in nothing
have the United States and England been
more clearly helped than In the advocacy
of universal education. If the designs of
Ood are disclosed by His handiwork, then
the creation of the human mind la In
disputable proof that the Almighty never
Intended tlwt learning should be monopo

ssalnst the plans of Jehovah, who would

the human raoe. It Is a false civilization,
not a true one, that countenances the per
manent separation or society mio iwo Dis
tinct classes, the one encouraged to lin

To hopeless Ignorance. Equally false Is
that eoiicculion of International politics
which would make the prosperity of one

The English langtiaae has lwmi ths
vehicle for the conveyance of governnientAl
truth, even more than for the ssread of
general Information, for, beginning with
Magna Charier and continuing through the
era of the American . revolution and ths
Declaration of Independence down to the
present, no language lies been so mu-'h
employed fr the propagation of that
theory of government which trsces gov
ernmental authority to the consent of the
governed. Our own nation presents the
mnst illustrious example known to history
of a great population working out Its des
tiny through laws of its own making and
under offlcisls of Its own choosing, al
though, 1 nisy ssv, we scarcely go beyond
Knglsnd in recognizing the omnipotence of
a parliament fresh from the people. It is
difficult to overestimate the progress of a
nation and. tn turning the thought of the
world away rrom despotism to the possi
bilities of self government, the pioneers of
freedom mad weslern civilisation possi
ble. F.tTect of nn Iden.
An Idea will sometimes revolutionize an
Individual, a community, a state, a nation
or even a world, and the luea that man
possesses Inalienable rights which the state
UIU not give and which the etate, though
It can deny, cannot take away, has niuue
millions of human lieinga stand erect and
claim their, tlod-glven inheritance. While
the era of constitutional liberty Is ever
widening, while the tyianny and lnuce
of arbitrary power are every year decreas
ing, the leadnrs of the world's thought,
not only the English shaking nations, hut
the other Christian nations as well, have
jet much to do In teaching reverence lor
the will of the majority and respect for
the public servanta, upon Wliom the people
bestow authority.
The Christian nations must lead the move
ment for Ihe promotion of peace, not only
localise thy are enlisted under the ban
ner of the Prince of Peace, but also be
cause they have attained sch a degree of
intelligence that they can no longer take
pride In a purely physical victory. Thj
belief that moral questions can be settled
by the shedding of human blood la a rrllc
of barbarism; to doubt the dynamic power
of righteousness Is infidelity to truth Itself.
That nation which I unwilling to trust Its
cause to the universal conscience or which
shrinks from the presentation of lta clulms
before a tribunal where r.'ason holds sway
betrays a lack of fulth In the soundness of
Its position, tmr country hns resson to
congratulate Itself on the success of Presi
dent Roosevelt In hastening peacfl between
Russia and Jupnn. Through film otir nation
won a moral victory more plorlous than a
victory In wnr. King Edward hns also
shown himself a promoter of arbitration
and a large number of the members of
Parliament are enlisted In the same work.
It menus much that the two groat English
speaking nations are thus arrayed on the
Side of peace. 1 Venture to suggest that the
world's peace would be greatly promoted
by nn agreement among the leading nations
that no declnratlon of wnr should be made
until the submission of the question in con
troversy to an Impartial court for Investi
gation, eaoh nation reserving the right to
accept or reject the decision. The prelim
inary Investigation would In nlmost every
instance Insure an amicable settlement, and
the reserved right would ho a sufUclont
protection against any possible Injustice.
Dignity of ljbor.
Iet me go a step farther and appeal for
clearer recognition of the dignity of la
bor. The odium Which rests upon the work
of tho hand has exerted a baneful Influ
ence the world around. The theory that
Idleness Is more honorublo than toil that
it Is more respectable to consume what
Others have produced than to be a producer
of wealth has not only robbed society of
an enormous sum, but It has created an al
most Impassable gulf between the leisure
classes and those who support them. Tol
stoy Is right in asserting tliafmost of the
perplexing problems of society grow out of
tne lacK or eympainy peiween man nu
man. Because some Imagine themselvis
buve work, while others ses netore uiom
nothing but a life of drudgery, there Is con
stant warring and much of bitterness.
When men and women become ashanud of
doing nothing and strive to give to so
ciety run compensation tor an iney rectum
from society there will be harmony between
the classes.
Individual Responsibility.
While EurcDt and America have ad
vanced far beyond the orient In placing a
proper estimate upon those who work, tfn
our nations nave not yei tuny teamen me
lesson that employment at some useful
avocation is essential to ths physical
health, Intellectual development and moral
growth. If America and England are to
meet the requlrenienta ol their hlgli po
sl lions they must be prepared to present
In the Uvea or their citlaeiia oxampiea, in-
ot exiting in number, ot mn and women
who llud deilglit in oontriDUiing to me wel
fare of their fellows, and thla ought not
to be difficult, for every department if
human activity has a fascination of Its
own. The agricultural colleges and Indus
trial sohools which nave sprung up in so
many localities ere evidence that a higher
Ideal is spreading among the people,
and now we come to the most Important
need of the orient a conception of Ufa
which recognlxua Individual reauonalbllay
to Ood. teachea the brotherhood ot man
and measures greatness by the service ren
dered. The first establishes a rational
relation between the oreature ana me cre

juatlce between man and hla fellows, and
the third rurnianea an aniouiun iare
enough to fill each lite with noble effort.
Mo service wnicn - we can renaer to me
less favored nutions can compare In value
to thla service, for If we can but bring
their people to accept audi an Ideal they
will rival the Occident In their contribution
to civilization.
Christian nation's Work,
If thla Ideal which must be accepted as
the true one. If our religion is true had
been more perfectly Illustrated In the
Uvea of Christians and In the conduct ot
Christian nations there would now ba lesa
of ths "White Man's Burden."
ir It Is legitimate to "seeg anotner s
profit" and "to work another's gain" how
can this service best be rendered? This
has been the disputed point. Individuals
and nations have differed less about ths
purpose to be accomplished than about
the methods to be employed. Pereecutlona
have been carried on avowedly for the
benefit ot the persecuted, ware have been
waged for the alleged Improvement of
thoae attacked, and still more frequently
philanthropy has been adulterated with sel
fish Interests. If the superior natlona have
a mission. It la not to wound, but to heal
not to caat down but to lilt up, and the
means must be example a far mote pow
erful and enduring means than violence.
Example may be likened to the sun whose
genial rays constantly coax the burled
seed Into life and clothe the earth, first

aervance of Independanos day has Increased
rapidly during the last four years the
country over, and the decrease of death
and Injury In Omaha Is merely In line with
the rest of the country. The figures, how
ever, a how that the advanoe has been made
principally In regard to lockjaw. Accord
ing to the Journal of the American Medi
cal association the total deaths from this
cause for 1108 attributed to Fourth of July
gunpowder celebrations numbered 481, In
1904 but 18 and in IMS. 111. There were
6.171 persons dead or injured In 1KB against
i.U In 103, the conclusion being thst small
accidents flourished, but that the mors
serious ones declined. In 1906 Nebraska's
quota to the total casualties was small,
thsre being but four deaths and thirty-nine
persons hurt.
