In his first public address tn the Ne braska campaign last week, Senator Burkett, after reviewing the position of the republican party on national questions and recounting the achieve ments of the present republican con gress, came down to the aute isaues with some pertinent advice to legisla tive candidates seeking republican support Senator Burkett declared: Every republican candidate is pledged, and Jf he Isn't he ought to go on me stump somewhere at once and pledge him self to carry out the republican state plat form. When the republican party writes a platform It is to be carried out and no man has any bualneas running on the ticket If he lan't Intending to carry out his party's platform. One of the planks In that platform declares for an antl-paai law, and the people expect It to be car ried out. I say the people expert It be cause It is In a republican platform. It was in a democratic platform some years ago when they were In control of state affairs, but they neither enacted the' law hor stopped riding on paaaes. But I want to say here and now that the man Is a disloyal republican who will rdn on that platform this fall and does not vote and work for its enactment Into law this win ter. In these declarations Senator Burk ett ia simply reiterating what The Bee has already said, namely, that every candidate for the legislature is coming before the people with the distinct and specific promises of legislation within states lines, formulated by the last re publican convention in the state plat form which it promulgated. The op position is trying its best to make peo ple believe that the republican plat form pledges do not count for any thing, and that they are repudiated by the candidates who axe running for the legislature, the idea which they are trying to spread being that the only way to get the reforms demanded is by electing a democratic legislature. It behooves the republican legisla tive candidates, therefore, to put a stop to this Impeachment In the most effective way by taking a stand upon every plank ot the state platform whose redemption requires legislative action. If there is any platform re pudiation to be lone in Nebraska this year It should be left for the demo crats to do. Republicans have every thing to gain and nothing to lose by standing up in the open and taking the people fully Into their confidence. TBK PIVOT Ah CAMPAlOy ISSUE. Two opportunities come for the ef fective expression of the popular will as to national government, the na tional election when a president Is chosen for a term ot four years and at the same time a house of repre sentatives for the first two years of that term, and a national election In which only a house is chosen for the last two years of the presidential term. We are now within six weeks of the latter election. Two years ago, by a majority 'which constituted the most unmistakable expression ever made by the , people; Theodore Roosevelt was elected president on a definite 'pro gram and with him a republican con gress to assist him therein for two years. The record, therefore, has been made up, and it is up to the people to say now whether they desire to check mate him, by electing an opposition party majority in congress, in the pro gram they then commissioned him to carry out. This issue was presented by Presi dent Roosevelt himself directly and with all possible force at the threshold of the campaign, and indeed it arose out of the nature of things. . For the very essence of the purpose of the con stitution is to afford opportunity, in the middle of the presidential term for national expression if the people de sire to thwart the chief executive, either because he baa proved recreant to trust or because, having proved faithful, they have changed their will during the first two years of his term. With the campaign approaching its cloae the fact Is thrown more and more Into bold relief that the great mass of the people. Irrespective of party, have In no wise changed, their mind as to the policies which they so signally en dorsed by President Roosevelt's elec tion two years sgo, except It be that they are even more firmly resolved upon them now, and that they sin cerely and enthusiastically approve his fidelity and success in carrying out these policies. Even partisan opposi tion does not dare to meet the Issue, but Its attitude from the beginning up to this moment has been evasive and directed not to the real business lit hand, which ia choice of a congress to sustain the president the next two years, but to manufacture political capital for use in the presidential elec tion two years hence, demonstrating that It would abuse power, if it could get it, for the same purpose in the meantime. Its chosen leader, who has lately come upon the scene, has not mended matters, but dodges the real Issue of Immediate public business by explottlpg national ownership of rail roads and a hodgepodge of other Im practical questions, the only possible effect ot thrusting which forward doni Inantly In the next congress would be to paralyse Theodore Roosevelt's lead ership in the great practical work he has In hand. President Roosevelt, then, and his program, with the whole popular movement for which they stand, are the issue, and It only remains' for all who have had part In that movement, and who In their hearts feel that It should go on' to further success and not be either hampered or stopped by opposition obstructions, to act upon patriotic conviction In the congres sional election now so near at hand. Candidate Shallenberger has the au dacity on the stump to question the sincerity of the republican party On Its stand against free pass evils and rail way rate abuses. In view of the fact that Mr, Shallenberger was made the nominee on the democratic state, ticket over Mr. Berge only by the active aid of the railroad political agenta there ia a great dear more ground for ques tioning the sincerity of Mr. Shallen-berger. TUB tttOX ISDICATIOS. The accepted estimates of Iron pro duction for the current year make the ! world's total 67.700,000 tons, to which 'the United States contrlbutfs 25,300,- 000 tons. The unprecedented record I has thus been made of almost exactly doubling the world's output In eleven years, It having amounted to 28,665, 945 tons In 1895 As iron Is universally recognized aa the great basic material, the fluctua tions of whose use are the most accu rate index of general Industrial condi tions, It signally appears that we are In the midst of a period of unexampled world-wide activity and expansion. But It must afford a clearer conception of the extraordinary conditions in the United States when it Is remembered that the doubling of the world's iron product has been possible only by the trebling of the iron product of the United States during the same period, It having Increased more than twice as much as the world's total only half a century ago. The significant fact appears in cur rent home market reports that the supply of pig Iron is nevertheless fall ing behind demand, with steadily ris ing prices for delivery three and six months hence, while the capacity of the steel and cognate industries which require pig iron is today already prac tically contracted that far In advance, reflecting the tremendous purchasing power, domestic and foreign, to which our own business is at the present Juncture adjusted. THE ATLANTA JuOB. The mob outbreak against .negroes in Atlanta Is in some respects worse than the typical southern lynching, ot which the victim Is known or sus pected to be guilty of a specific crime. The horror ot the offense in such case often annuls the self-restraint and balance even ot many citizens whose better Judgment condemns overthrow of law and order. But the Atlanta outrage appears to be the culmination of long continued Insensate and vicious Incitement to race prejudice which could tend only to stir up the dangerous elements ot the community to blind violence against negro victims, whether inno cent or guilty. The appeals which have been systematically made-in the sensational local press, a sample of which was the standing offer of a money reward 'for negro lynching in the contingency that a certain crime Ehould be committed, was the criminal preparation for Indiscriminate outrage and suspension of law. ' , There has been some ground the last year or two for hope that the anti-negro mob spirit was beginning to fall away, so that at no distant time Innocent blacks as well as whites might have in the south the reasonable and Just protection of the law, backed by a law-abiding public sentiment; The offense of the Atlanta outbreak con sists not only in the heinous wrong to Its immediate victims, but also in the stimulus it is likely to Impart to evil passion and practice wherever the two races in large numbers live side by side. The return to steamboat traffic on the Missouri river has been hailed at Kansas City "with a blowing of whis tles, the clanging of bells, and the glad acclaim of thousands of persons gath ered at the river shore" to witness the docking of the first freight-laden steamer to arrive after a lapse of more than a decade. And the promise is made that regular traffic will be in stituted on the river between St. Louis and Kansas City Just as soon as suit able boats can be obtained. As soon as Kansas City yearns for more worlds to conquer if it will extend its river freight line up the Missouri to Omaha we will guarantee to loan that siren whistle and make a requisition on Fort Crook for a salute of thirteen guns. The land frauds worked through the Nebraska .land offices seem to have reached out beyond the confines of this state, as witness the arrests made in Chicago for promoting fake entries by civil war veterans and their widows. There is no question but that a gigantic conspiracy was concocted to get possession of large tracts of Un cle Sam's public domain in this state without complying with the laws and no discrimination ehould be made in ferreting out and punishing all the parties to such offences who went into the game with their eyes open and knew what shady work they were en gaged in. It the well defined rumors In cir culation are correct, the democratic organ will do well to go slow about parading Judge Graves as "a Judge whose principles lead him to refuse the railroad pass." Will it withdraw Its support of him as the democratic nominee for congress in the Third dis trict should it be shown that he has been riding on railroad passes since he mounted the bench ? Before digging into the alleged eva sions ot the Inheritance tax law for the purpose of manufacturing political capital, our democratic friends should ask why it waa that the last demo cratic county attorney In Douglas county allowed the law to remain a dead letter during his entire term of office, to be taken up and enforced by County Attorney Slabaugh as his re publican successor. ,V U - : - - i , When Cubans are assured that President Roosevelt's "square deal" policy doesn't stop at the borders of ..

This Is further proof that success must be bought not with mere brawn, but with brains. - Chicago Chronicle. General Nunes tells us nothing that we did not know before when he saye that many of the Cuban Insurgents have no fixed Ideas of political affaire and that others are adventurers. The statement applies, aa a matter of fact, to the entire population of Cuba. The Idea ef government held by the Cuban son of freedom Is embodied In a repeating carbine and an ambush. With there and a well-stocked hen roost In the vicinity, emancipation can go on under either a "moderate" or a "liberal" adminis tration. It all depends upon the eupply of ammunition and yellow-legged chickens. Mob Sale In Georfla, Chicago Tribune. The Atlanta outbreak almost inclines one to doubt the value of civilisation. It makes one ashamed of Its weakness aa a restrain ing power. It should make the south ashamed of a race prejudice so bitter and undlscrlmlnstlna; that guiltless persons may be killed and maimed Just because they be long to the negro race. It Is a disgrace to Atlanta. It is a disgrace to the militia that when it was called upon to restore law and order it should have, sympathised with mob murder. It will be a disgrace to the whole state of Georgia if the leaders of the uprising are not arrested and punished for murder. APOTHEOSIS OF THE CORNCOB. Glorious Uplift Comings to an Homble Ovtcnsv. Washington Post. ' Secretary Wilson's discovery of greet commercial and financial possibilities in the hitherto humble and neglected corn cob will send n thrill of gratitude from one end of the country to the other. It is pleasant enough to kaow that alcohol, can be ex tracted from corn cobs. That of Itself would make a bulletin of general Joy. Fut when Secretary Wilson assures us that the i llauor can be produced at a cost not ex ceeding S cents per gallon, thus bringing the once expensive Jag within reach of the most attenuated purse, we can see the aurora borealls corning our way with a speed of at least a million miles a second. What Secretary Wilson says about a slump In the prle of canned corn In con sequence of this .astounding revelation, we confess, does not Knncern us. The price of canned corn Is' lefts'' than nothing in' our philosophy. Bvlt Vheh the secretary slnga to us of l-cent.Xflsky. then he fills a large and yawning eau- with ecstasy. He de scribes a boon for which countless mil lions have ' been waiting long. . He puts luxury within reach of the very humblest citlsen. He opens up a vista of wet picnics, of Joyous husking bees and harvest homes, of Christmas merry-making and of fireside delights. . He brings a message of Incal culable Import to the thirsty and the groan ing masses. But Secretary Wilson Is Just a little bit mistaken when he ears that the corn cob has never been of any use to man. There is not a real farmer In the land who will endorse the allegation. Among all toora looral circles the corn cob has long been a solace and a friend, ft makes good Arcs, it serves to -cork stone Jugs and keep the odor in, one makes serviceable pipes of It and in various other ways It contributes to the comfort and the happiness of the generation. Of course, the secretary's dis covery overshadows all these minor consid erations. It will not do, however, to forget the corn cob altogether. We owe It much for valuable uses In the past , MR. BRVAVS . COME DOWN. Bow the Peerless One Shifts Sail to Varylnar Winds. Minneapolis Journal. . Mr. Bryan's . fantastic dual, state and national, ownership of railroads has been before the. public less than two weeks, but in that short time the peerless one has received an impression that it la purely his own doctrine and not to be forced on the democratic party. When he invaded Kentucky, Mr. Bryan read a carefully prepared statement' in re gard to the railroad question which showed that he had been touched by the unpopular reception of his plan. He doea not expect It to go in the platform unlesa all the demo crats want it. Thle ia very fortunate for the democratic party, for If they once put It In their platform Mr. Bryan could be depended upon to see that It did not come out again, no matter how Impracticable it might appear to be. - Free silver waa In serted In the platform' of 1S96 and Mr. Bryan kept It there in 1000. He wovjld not let go of the L"sue, though he had been de cisively beaten upop it and the country had declared aa lpisdly as It could that It preferred the single 'gold standard. Every argument that mortal men could voice was used to get Mr. Bryan to conaent to the j dropping of free silver. His Anal word j on that question was that the democrats might leave it out of their platform If they I liked, but they should. In that event, leave his name off their ticket. This was the sort of free voice the democrats had .in their platform making in 19u0. In 1904 Mr. Bryan went to St. Louis and foOght for three days against drop ping tree silver from the platform. He suctseded Anally' in compelling the con vention to stultify Itself by making no allusion to the money question. In 1908 Mr. Bryan returned from a trip around the world and, like Christian in "The Pil grim's Progress," dropped his burden. The weight ot free silver rolled from hi shoulders; He parted with It in almost the aame words proposed by the con vention two years before and stopped by him. This shows democrats the danger of putting any fantaatlc Bryan doctrines in their platform while he lives, for he will never let them be taken out again until the party has been churned tn the mire of defeat. Then he will rise up with another world-aurprialng issue to take the dead one's place. Mr. Bryan has an aphorism that no Issue la settled until it's settled right. Mr. Bryan Is the great Issue In the democratic party, and the party will never have any peace until Mr. Bryan la settled right and good and plenty, ' , IN MRMORIAM. Splendid Specimen of C'ltlaea. Leslie s Weekly, Heptember , 1. In the recent sudden death of F.dward Bnsewater, founder, proprietor and editor of The Omaha Bee, Nebraska lost one of her most useful and eminent rltlsens, a man who had made his beneAclnl force and Influence felt throughout the land. This successful journalist wss distinguished by ability, integrity and Independence of char, acter. He had so won the confidence ef the people that many Important offices had been bestowed on him, and he lately made an excellent showing in sn exciting con test for the United States senatorshlp. In all causes Involving the public weal Mr. Bosewater was found on the right side. He was a splendid specimen of the cltisen of foreign birth who makes his way up from poverty to success snd honor, and who t( more truly American than are the great majority of those born within our borders. Brond Minded and Liberal. Omaha Western Scot. Nebraska's Boanerges Edward Rose water silently, peacefully passed sway on the morning of August's closing day. His passing was as he would have wished he died In harness. His life was strenuous, full of Aght and daring. He rcse from noth ing to be the most Influential character of the great weat. Born In obscurity and reared in distress, he leaves behind him a name Indelibly branded on American progress. Edwnrd Rosewater was a grand character, he was a great Journalist, a born politician of the nobler qualities, a qualified leader of men, and yet the ungrateful state for which he had done so much refused him the nomina tion for a dinky United States senatorshlp. He'd have adorned the office and showered glory on the commonwealth. Never before wss fate more inscrutable. Our laat conversation with Edward Rose water was at the atate convention at Lin coln. There he was in the thick of the Aght, cool as a cucumber, and masterful as a battle-scarred general. Edward Rosewater was no bigot or hypo critehe was broad-minded and libers!. He was as honest as he was fearless, hie memory will never die, and his life Is an example of industry, courage, energy and individuality wholly unmatched In Ne. braska's history. Man of Ttrelesa Industry. Falrbury Qaxette. The turmoil and animosities of an aggres sive life end at the grave, and the most bitter enemies of Edward Rosewater gathered around his bier remembered him only with kindly feelings. Few who have lived within the state for the last quarter of a century have left a deeper Impress on Nebraska's history. A man of tireless Industry, he was ever at work In the newspaper field, in politics or In busi ness, and never took time for a vacation until the summons came for a Anal rest, which came when he should have been In the full vigor of msnhood. Made Nebraska Famous. Sidney Republican. Mr. Rosewater made Nebraska famous. His newspaper 'and his utterances were copied In all parts of the country to the profit of Nebraskans. He, like the il lustrious' Oreeley, made the mistake of his life when he entered the political arena. A great newspaper man can not become a great polltlcisn. A newspaper of modern times must be fearless and honest. A politician need not be either. We regret his sudden death and mourn his loss as a newspaper man and truly hope his mantle may fall upon as honest and fearless shoulders as It has covered all these years, while Nebraska was forging to the front under men of such Integrity and righteous valour. 1 ' " ' : A Great Editor Gone. ' The Fourth Estate. The late Edward Rosewater, though born in Bohemia, was a remarkable type of the self-made American. Starting with no' capital but brains, pluck and energy, his history was that of many another lad similarly endowed. He had small advan tages In the way of formal education in early life, but he was a student to the end of his days. He was fond of languages. German and Hebrew he acquired In his early boyhood and a few years In this country gave him a command of English such aa any native American might well envy him. Later he learned French and he had a reading knowledge of Italian. The building up of a large newspaper property and years of unAagglng activity In politics would so have absorbed the energies of most men as to leave llttlt time for miscellaneous reading. But Mr Rosewater was of a class of men of affairs who are also booklovers. His appetite for historical and political works was In satiable, nor did he neglect higher literature. Material success rewarded him but the fortune that Included The Omaha Bee ts not the greatest legacy he bequeaths to his children. The example of well-directed and long-sustainVd Industry and ot love of knowledge for Its own sake are more precious than anything that can be reck oned in dollars. And better even than these was the patriotism of the man. He Joved his coun try flrst, his state and city next. It was not a patriotism of mere professions. Mr. Rosewater was inspired by his true public spirit, and he gave freely of his means, his .time and his talent for public objects. That he ahould receive honors waa natural, yet. no one believed that be sought office for its own sake. Charity nnd Diverted. San Francisco Chronicle.
