That a Mexican plantation company has been placed in the hands of a re ceiver' will surprise some Investors who have had reason to bellert that the assets would not pay court costs. The confirmation of the reported shortage in the United States sub treasury at St. Louis is not surprising, aa the first intimation was made by the man in charge of the money a rare occurrence In such affairs. One of the surprises of the Castel lans divorce suit is that there were sufficient letters in the French alpha bet to schedule all of the co-respondents. The detective of the countess was srldentl "asleep at tho switch." "A MAX OF 1B0H' WOOD," The campaign In Nebraska Is practically over. As was to have boen exrxcted, the brunt of the battle has been borne by George L. Sheldon, who as republican standard' bearer, has courageously and unflinchingly car ried the Are Into the enemy's lines and whose victory, unless all signs fail, will be signal and decisive. For the The Bee It is well to close the campaign for Sheldon with the same words with which it was opened. Having special reference to him, the late Edward Rosewater, editor of The Bee, in the address to the veterans of the Grand Army at Waterloo, deliv ered but a few hours before his final call, spoke as follows: How, Z say, that in Jnrtio to history, In nstio to th Grand Army, and In jns tio to yon own families and children, yon want to stand n for arabraska and fof th nations yon want to help ns tnattci pat this frsat stat from corporate on trol, and now is th honr.

This 1b a good sentiment for every voter republican or democrat to take with him when he goes to the polls next Tuesday. BAD BARGAMS ly COROKKT8. The simultaneous denouements in two international marriage "alli ances," that of a daughter of the rich Vanderbllt house with the holder of the Marlborough title and that of Anna Gould with a scion of a ducal family of France, form a climax of in ternational scandal. In both cases inherited American millions were bal anced with Impoverished but glitter ing foreign titles, the compacts having been ominously and obtrusively adver tised in advance from the aristocratic side as alliances for convenience. In both cases the millions were squan dered with headlong prodigality, al though in that of the English noble man without the accompaniments of impatient innate brutality which ag gravate the infamy of the French mat rimonial bargainer. But the one as well aa the other points the moral with woe and conspicuous humiliation for the two victimized American girls, their families and in a sense their country people. The time has not yet come when our American Ideals of marriage can be violated with impunity. They are so confirmed and distinct that effort to substitute the artificial adjustments of an utterly different society and an alien feudal regime can develop only essential incompatibility. There have Indeed been felicitous unions conjoin ing American wealth and foreign title, bu.t not where cold-blooded calcula tion and convenience were the sole or main moving consideration. Nor in the very nature of things is it possible to introduce here that baals'of "great world'' marriage without the sequel of public contempt on both sides, of household wreck and moral catas trophe. WESTERS VHIYBRSITY GROWTH. The facts concerning college attend ance for the current year indicate re markable growth of the higher educa tional Institutions In the west. While every important western university re ports notable increase of students, ranging as high as 18 per cent over last year, the highest gain in New England was 7 and in the middle states 10 per cent, and in one of the greatest eastern universities an actual. though slight, loss. This contrast between the old east ern and the young western institutions by no means proves decadence of ed ucatlonal interest among the Atlantic coast communities. Their famous uni versities have drawn largely from the west because it was unable to furnish equal facilities to its young men and women. Before the civil war ths so called colleges that had been founded In these western states, while numer ous, were mainly local financially weak and ill-equipped, and it required decades to make them strong and out of their number to build up a few great representative centers of learning ap proaching In character and opportuni ties to those of the east. The unpar alleled material development, espa daily the last decade, has enabled western states like Nebraska, in which Bplendld university foundations in land appropriations were early provided, to gether with tho expanding volume of taxable wealth, to push their higher educatloual advantages rapidly for ward abreast of those of the old east ern universities which formerly had the field almost alone. Unless such a transformation had been brought about ths attendance in the east would be now more rapidly Increasing than ever, because where with great diffi culty one young man could formerly avail himself of a university course, scores could now easily afford to do so. In no narrow or sectional sense, In deed, is the west to be congratulated upon so fortunate an achievement, for excluslveness Is repugnant to the iuter ests of learning, but upon the extra ordinary expansion of educational op portunity which it implies. This growth brings virtually to ths door of every aspiring boy or girl In Nebraska, or Michigan, er Iowa ths outlook tor culture and, equipment for life which not long ago was open only to the ex tremely fortunate few. WHAT TflK PLATFORM PROMISES. The republican state platform this year promises the people of Nebraska more substantial reform legislation than has ever been held out to them before by any political party. Not only this, but the candidates, almost without exception from top to bottom, are standing squarely on the platform, so that the redemption of these pledges may be confidently expected. In the first place, the platform un equivocally denounces the refusal of the railroads to pay their taxes, and promises redoubled efforts to compel them to pay their just share of taxa tion at the same time and in the same manner as a private individual. The platform puts the party on rec ord in favor of bringing home to the people the choice of their public offi cers. This Is to bo accomplished first by a state-wide direct primary law and, second, by amending the consti tution of the United States for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. The platform declares unalterable opposition to corporate interference in public affairs and promises a stringent anti-pass law that will stop the issuing of free passes In all forms "except to bona fide employes and members of their Immediate families, and care takers of live stock." The platform not only endorses the proposed constitutional amendment es tablishing a state railway commission, but pledges legislation giving the com mission full power "to prohibit re bates, discriminations and special rates," and "to see to it that any and all abuses are corrected and equitable freight and passenger rates obtained for the people." The platform promises impartial en forcement of the revenue law and the restriction of expenses pf state gov ernment to a basis of the most rigid economy, as also an employers' liabil ity act permitting recovery for injuries notwithstanding the negligence of a fellow-servant The platform declares for terminal taxation, or In other words, that while the present method of assessing rail road property is not to be altered as it affects county, state and school taxes, the revenue law should be amended so that railroad property within cities and towns should be also assessed and taxed for city and town purposes the same as other property. The platform finally promises legis lation to insure inspection and uni form tests of dairy products for the purpose of protecting and encouraging the growing dairy interests of Ne braska. ! With such an explicit statement of what party success will bring, and more especially with a candidate for governor like George L. Sheldon, who believes a platform pledge as inviola ble as a promissory note, the people may rest assured that by voting Ne braska into the republican column they will line this state up for a thor ough program of Roosevelt reform. NATWXAL POWER AD OBLlOATIOyS. The instructions issued by Attorney General Moody to the United States district attorney at' San Francisco to co-operate In the proceedings brought in the federal court to compel the school authorities to permit Japanese children to enter any of the public schools show that the administration does not accept the theory of national Impotence with respect to this any more than with respect to other na tional needs. It has been too readily assumed that the national government, one of the chlefest of whose functions is exclusive control of International ob ligations, is powerless to enforce them against recalcitrant local authaMtles. But the time has come for the mischief of the state sovereignty heresy, whose paralysing and disorganizing force has been shattered In so many other vital applications, to be rooted out of our international relations. There Is no question whatever that discrimination against Japanese In pub llo schools is a violation of the intent of ths treaty of 1894, for its terms guarantee to them the same rights as are conceded to other nationalities, in cluding the "most favored nation" clause, admission to public schools without discrimination having always been considered one of these rights. Nor Is there question tuat, tho circum stances being reversed, ur own gov ernment would roundly demand and enforce cessation of such, discrimina tion against Its citizens in Japan, or any other country, under the same treaty convenant. But a recent state statute of California provides for gross discrimination against children of "Mongolian" parentage, and It Is un der this statute that the San Francisco school authorities have proceeded against ths Japanese. It would therefore be surprising if the Roosevelt administration, which be lieves that our national government has all the powers Indispensable to genuine nationality as an inference from its creation and the framework therefor expressly provided In the constitution, should not assort itself against the Cal ifornia form of nullification. No Im plied powers, however, need be ap pealed to in this case, for the constitu tion explicitly provides that "all trea ties made or which shall be made un der the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of ths land, and the Judges In every state shall be bound thereby, anything In the constl tutlon and laws of any state to the con trsry notwithstanding." It may well be credited that Secretary Root holds that plenary authority Is thereby con (erred to compel compliance with such treaty obligations, and that the full power of the national government will be employed If the efforts now in prog ress to persuade the local authorities shall fall. Tho question narrowed to the case in hand ia grave enough, involving the good will pf one of the most powerful nations and our material Interests In the far east. But now that we have entered upon a career of world Influ ence It Is Impossible with safety or with self-respect longer to tolerate such vast concerns to be at the mercy of mere local caprice, local prejudice or even local Interest. AXOT11ER STEP FORWARD. While The Bee speaks for' Itself, In point of freedom from the sensational ism nnd Indecency which characterize the various yellow Journals, it Is not out of place to call the attention of our readers to another step forward which this paper has taken toward the elimi nation of features that might cause objection. The Bee has undertaken to exclude from its columns all nauseous medical advertising and to exercise the right of revising advertising copy that comes under this heading. In Making this move, The Bee real izes that it Is doing so at considerable financial loss, but feels certain it will more than recoup by better satisfying its reading patrons. From Its incep tion The Bee has been recognized as one of the cleanest and most whole some newspapers to be found any where. Its aim Is to put out a news paper that is in every way fit for the home and can be read aloud without hesitation In the family circle with benefit to every member of the house hold. With this improvement in'the advertising columns, we are sure The Bee will come still closer to being the ideal family paper with corresponding appreciation by the general public. EXAMPLE OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT. There have lately been preparations for extensive Improvement of country roads In a number of states, particu larly in Missouri, Virginia, Illinois and Ohio, but in none of them on so large a scale and so thorough and practical system as in a law passed by the legis lature of New York last winter. This law, the great Importance of which was temporarily obscured by absorb ing public Interest in insurance reform legislation, contemplates the expendi ture of no less than $75,000,000 in Improvement of the public roads, and provides not only for the necessary funds, but also for their employment in an economic and scientific way which will permanently revolutionize I the means of wagon transportation. To those accustomed to the crude, piecemeal and futile methods by which meager public funds are dissipated on the roads in most states such a sum may seem, at first blush, enormous and extravagant. It was, however, re solved in New York to provide it only after an exhaustive investigation of the whole subject, whereby it was demonstrated that the economic waste caused by needlessly bad roads and which will be saved by the proposed improvements amounts annually to $38,000,000. In short, the undertak ing promises to save net to the com munity each ye&r an amount equiva lent to one-half the cost of the whole Investment, and as the Improvements are to be permanent, with compara-1 tlvely small maintenance expense, the gain Is almost Incalculable. The lesson of this notable good roads movement for the other states. n.here, because of the rise of land val ues and related conditions, the prob lem of transportation off the railroads is becoming more serious. Is that rad ical change from the antiquated meth ods heretofore employed is absolutely indispensable as the first step. Under the New York system the state author ity becomes Bupreme for consistent and comprehensive plans, supplanting the inefficiency of township and minute road district autocracy, $50, 000,000 being raised on state bonds and the remainder by the several coun ties. The least part of the benefit of this improvement, vast as it Is, will Inure to the state of New York If the result shall lead the people of other states to realize that large and general betterment of public road conditions cannot be had without large and gen eral changes of road laws. With consummate skill Colonel Bryan Is taking his hearers over to Japan to give them a glimpse Into Japanese art treasures, with side re marks on tho iniquities of the tariff that' compels him to pay import duty on bric-a-brac bought In Japan with good American money. Japan Is a long way from Nebraska and therefore furnishes a perfectly safe topic of dis cussion. Here at homo people are in terested in reducing railroad freight rates and forcing the railroads to pay their taxes like other peoplo and In abolishing the evils of free pass brib ery, but these subjects are altogether too common to attract the attention of Colonel Bryan. The eminent Ne braskan should wake up to the fact that a man's shirt Is closer to h'.m than his overcoat. Robert Co well Is the only Omaha man running for railroad commis sioner on any ticket. It Is highly Im portant that Omaha's commercial in terests shall have one member of this body thoroughly conversant with local conditions. Every voter In Omaha and South Omaha, regardless of party afflllatlous, should vote for Mr. Cowell. The local democratic campaign man agers are counting on the railroads and the liquor dealers to pull their candidates through for them in Doug las county. This combination, even if it were lined up solid! tot ths demo- orotic ticket, Is not necessarily invinci ble. Douglas county Is normally re publican and thers Is no good reason why it should not be counted in the republican column this year. The Honorable "Jim" Is still pre dicting that Bryan will be the next president and admits that he has been making the same prediction regularly for thirteen years. Unless the mayor la more careful the habit will follow him to the grave. The decision of an Oregon court that flockmasters are not required to pay a fee for sheep grazing on public lands is spt to be the signal for trouble which will make the Ute "up rising" look like a Sunday Bchool picnic. The exposure by The Bee of the democratic "holdup insurance" graft Is said to have already worked a re form. The saloon keepers are here after to be held up by word of mouth instead of by letter.
