PAVTITY OT PARtT
Rather remarkable progress has
been made In this country In the last
few years in the matter of eliminating
great questions, affecting the welfare
of the entire people, from the domain
of party politics. Mr. Bryan referred
to this fact. In a good natured way, the
other day when, in the course of an
address to the New York legislature,
he said:
1 find It Increasingly difficult to tnak a
partisan speech. Whenever I make one,
before long President Roosevelt says the
same things with more fore and elo
quence, and takes them out of the field of
partisanship.
The leaders of the two great parties
are In very close accord, having very
similar Ideas as to the nature of the
government and the policies that
should be employed and adopted. The
statement applies, too, to the rank
and file of the parties, as well as to the
leaders. Today there Is little room
for bitter party strife. Parties are
simply a reflex of public sentiment and
the people have become educated be
yond the point where they will blindly
follow the organization leaders. The
people have learned to think for them
selves, with the result that there Is
little difference between republicans
and democrats on the question of
finance, tariff, railway Regulation, the
control of trusts,' the Panama canal or
any of tne questions before the public
Unquestionably, the general effect
of the condition will be good. The
Issues between the two great parties
upon which It would be possible to
arouse partisan excitement are becom
ing fewer and fewer and both organi
sations are realizing that their future
appeals must be to the intelligence of
the people, not to their partisanship.
There Is lrftle or no prospect that the
removal of these public" questions will
result in the obliteration of party lines,
but there is a very certain prospect,
already In fair way to realization, that
it will result In a confusion of poli
ticians and party organisations. It
will compel party leaders to Belect
their most competent and worthy men
for office and will effectually bar the
"yellow dog ticket" from success at
the polls. It will be a good thing for
the country when the,. voters reach
their Own conclusions on public ques
tions and elevate men to office onac
count of their merit and integrity,
rather than because they wear the
label of. one party or another.' ' Party
organization, under our form of gov?
ernment, is essential and desirable, but
blind partisanship may be eliminated
without Injury to either the party or
ganizations or the people. '
MORK PAY roR THE ARMY- .
A determined effort Is to be made to
Induce the next congress to pass a bill
Increasing the pay of the officers and
men in the army, navy, marine corps"
and" revenue cutter services.' Friends
of the movement have already pre
pared a bill which has been forwarded
to members of congress, together with
arguments In support of Its adoption.
The new bill provides for an increase
of 10 per cent In the pay of the gen
erals, IB per cent for major and briga
dier generals, 10 per cent for colonels,
25 per cent for captains and Commis
sioned officers below lhat grade snd 30
per cent for enlisted men.
It is difficult to understand the oppo
sition ot congress to the nroDosed in
crease of pay for men in tne army and
navy. Measures looking to that end
have been introduced at every session
of congress for years, but hare in
variably been defeated, and there has
been no change in the pay of the army
snd navy for thirty years. While the
pay ot some of the officers of higher
rank is comparatively liberal, it Is
admitted that the pay for enlisted men
and officers np to the grade of major
Is not sufficient to secure the enlist
ment or retention In the anrvle nf thA
character of men desired. The pro
posed bill gives the highest Increase
where it Is most deserved, and the
prospect s that congress will look
npon the measure with more favor
than It has In the past.

FAKKUJh HALh VS. OK AW POT.
Boston has not been so excited since
the days of tho Spanish-American war,
when evory Bostonlan feared by day
and dreamed by night thnt Cervera's
fleet was going to drop into the harbor
and wipe the town off the map. The
present trouble, however, deals not
with war or war'Sittfarms. but Is a pro
test against the action of a committee
that In preparation ' for the home
coming week, made an appeal to (be
stomach rather than to the patriotism
of Boston's sons and daughters who
are temporarily extled In barbarian
states or countries. The committee
which had charge of the preparations
adopted, in a thoughtless moment,
with visions ot the fixed Saturday
night dinner In mind, the counterfeit
presentment of a beanpot for the cen
ter ot the official seal. The commit
tee hurried thousands ot letters, bear
ing the seal, through the malls and
then the storm broke. .
The Colonial Dames rose In their
wrath and protested, spiritedly con
tending that "it would be better If the
city appealed through some patriotic
subject rather than to the stomach."
Some of the rasher members of the
committee on arrangements argued
that the Bostonlan who was compelled
to live elsewhere thought more of
beans than he did of historic subjects,
and that sx long as it was certain that
the beanpot was to occupy the center
of the table during the home-comina-
celebratlon there was no good reason
why It should not occupy the center of
the seal and figure In the advertising.
Just abovV the time the debate had
reached the point where It threatened
to cause a suspension ot everything
but the cooking of beans, the commit
tee relented, the beanpot was removed
and a picture of ' Faneuil Hall now
adorns the center of the official seal.
The staid Boston Transcript, com
mending the substitution, says'.
The beahpot's somewhat hasty adnptlvn
at the start Indicated an absence of child
ish resentment against the ancient and
bewhlskered Joke of Identifying th city
with that useful utensil, which may still
have Its symbolic uses; but the sign t)y
which we expect to conquer should be as
sociated with' something of more dignity
and Importance than the prevailing Sun
day morning; repast. If tho entcrprlae is
a serious one Its symbolism ahould be of a
kind that the historian rather than th
humorist has mad famous. No better se
lection than the old and honored "Cradle
of Liberty" could have boon made. It
stands for all that la most distinctly In
th larger clvlo Itfo of Boston. Its fame
has gone out tp the ends of the earth, for
from It has gone forth appeals for liberty
In other lands as well aa our own.
Now that Boston's virtue and patri
otism has been officially recognized,
the work of advertising home-coming
week may be resumed, but Boston
should not delude itself with the Idea
that the exiles are returning to gaze
at Faneuil Hall, to get a new and af
fectionate look at Bunker Hill monu
ment or to lay in a new stock of patri
otism at its fountain head. The wan
dering Bostonlans are being irresisti
bly drawn home by the vision of the
bean pot and Its succulent contents.
RAILROAD TAXATlOIf.
The tabulation of railroad valuation
for the purpose of taxation in Ne
braska shows the Increase over last
year to be a little more than $5,000,
000, distributed throughout eighty-five
counties. This will give Douglas
county, for example, an additional
value on the tax roll of about $140,
000, which is at a ratio of increase not
exceeding that of the general property
of the county. The annual assess
ment of personal property has Just
been completed, and while the figures
are not available, yet the indications
are that a normal and healthy Increase
In value will be recorded. The real
estate valuations were corrected last
year and show a comfortable addition
to the tax roll. i .
Railroad property will not be as
sessed locally under the terminal tax
assessment law this year on account
of the failure of the bill to carry the
emergency clause. Next year when
the general re-valuation of real estate
occurs, the railroad property will be
added locally. In the meantime the
railroad complaint of excessive valua
tion is really more the result of a
habit than of actual conditions.
THK POTK3CT OF PIE. i
Ray Stannard Baker.-'one ot the
original "Florodora sextette" of mag
azine muckrakers, who has been mak
ing a tour of the south and studying
the negro question, sent something of
a chill through the country in his last
article by declaring that "the south is
rapidly breaking itself of the pie habit.
He asserted that pie had lost its place
as a fixed article of diet on southern
tables and that pie-biting luid, become
practically a lost art. However, to the
confusion of Mr. Baker, the Atlanta
Journal thus records a recent incident
in that southern metropolis:
After pawning a typewriter for a plec
of pin, thus strengthening the Inner man
and lessening the weight he was carrying,
Emory Carver, an athletic gentleman, who
claims Canton, Cherohoe county, aa bis
home, gave members of the Atlanta detec
tive department a delightful exhibition- of
sprinting, lie outran two officers, distanced
two fleet-footed patriots, and might have
been running yet had he steered clear ot
an avenue traversed by a trolley car.
Here. we have unbiased testimony
that the succulent pie still retains its
pristine potency as a toxic and in
toxicant. Dietetic experts, students of
sociological conditions and faddists of
high and low degree"may continue to
rail against the magical combination ot
fruit, flour and cook's skill, but the
man who wants to meet emergencies
and overcome them In this work-a-day
world of ours, whether the emergency
assumes the form of a financial battle,
a shrewd business transaction, barter
or sale, a fight or a foot race, will con
tinue to follow the example of bis
fathers and fortify himself, before go
ing Into action, with a wedge of pie.
They may destroy our Idols and shat
ter our ideals, but they must not rob
us of our pie.
The Omaha trade boosters have
reached the limit ot their outwsrd
trip and will now turn their faces
home. It has been a novel experience
to many of them and a delightful ex
perience to all. The reception ac
corded them along the route Indicates
In a measure the feeling In the Great
Northwest for the Gate City, and the
visit has simply served to augment
this friendly sentiment. It has had
another effect (hat has not generally
been thought of and that Is It has en
couraged those who did not go to even
greater efforts at home. The Impor
tance ot such a trip cannot be over
estimated. It Is cheerful to contemplate the
spectacle ot a Methodist minister com
ing to Omaha from Kansas City and
telling ns that the world Is growing
better and that the cities themselves
sre leading in the procession for bet
ter life. This is o different from
what we are accustomed to hearing
from the pulpit that we will cheer
fully endorse the further statement of
the reverend - gentleman, that the
church Is not doing all It might to
make the world a better place to live
In.
Nebraska's floating debt has been
decreased by almost three-quarters of

reasonably creditable showing for the

found Is la conUadlstlactloa to the
policy of the popocratlo 'administra
tions, when the floating-debt was piled

ORBED OP 9AII, MAKER.
Steel Traat Acrnavd of Markvtlasr
laferlor Material.
Railroad Engineer In New Tork Times,
Th real reason fori th present deplor
able eonditlon of rail furnished for us
on American railroad Is the cupidity of
th manufacturer In placing quantity of
output abov quality. Th lack of com
petition In th manufacture of rails and
the desire of the manufacturer to make
s good financial showing entirely remove
the incentive that formerly existed, for
on manufacturer to turn out as good ma
terial as his competitor, This Is clearly
shown from th refusal in th laat few
years by the manufacturers to co-operate
and work In harmony with the representa
tives of the railroads, to agree upon
specifications for steel rails that would ba
satisfactory to th purchaser aa well as
to th manufacturer. The manufacturer
appears to, b afraid to consent to th
preparation's of any specifications that will
Improve the-quality of th material for
fear that by so doing h will reduce the
output of his mills. .
I am especially surprised at th state
ment credited to Mr. Gray of the Pnlted
State Steel corporation that the manu
facturer "receives 1 exact stipulations and
specifications a to their (rail) composi
tion." It is tru that prior to 1903 th
manufacturers consented to roll rails for
th road With which I am connected, ac
cording to our specifications, but subse
quent to that date we have not only been
denied any right whatever to formulate
our own specifications, but we have ven
been refused th five-year guarantee that
had been customary for th manufacturers
to, give where their own apecincatlona,
rather than thoae of th railroad, gov
erned. In other worda, so far as my knowl
edge goes, at th present day th American
railroads Sre denied th right to prepare
their own speclQcation and ara forced to
take rails of th quality which th manu
facturer chooae t give. That this quality
la very bad t think will not need vary
much demonstration.
At a recent meeting of th American
Railway association at Chicago th request
was mad for th rising of the representa
tives of any railroad satlafled with . th
quality of steel- rails furnished b the
American manufacturers, ' and of those
mea, representing Ho. 000 mile of railroad,
not on stood on his feet.
I am furthermore surprised that Mr.
Gary Is represented a having aald, r"tf
rails were heavier less would be broken."
As a matter of fact, on th line with
which I am connected, without any la
crease in th weight of motive power or
rates of speed, ther hT been three
tines a many breakage with th recently
laid 100-pound rail aa ther hare been
with th old eighty-pound rail; thus clearly
demonstrating that the whole trouble of
th day Is not on of heavy motrv power
In connection with light rails, but a aorr
grade t material with heavier rail
0! PRESIDENT! At, P1RINO MX
Bryaa's Kamlsalla Means bfrno
eratle Defeat.
Harper's Weekly (lnd.).
That Rrysn's hom'natlon means demo
rretlo defeat for th third tlra Is more
than an impreaatoa; It ts a certainty. Mr.
Bryan la not only burdened with th de
spairing conviction of many men who will,'
or who, might, vote for him, lhat be Is
foredoomed to defeat. To many of the
h live under an evil star, and they will
look upon their votes in advance as wssted.
They will ba easily persuaded to stay at
home on election day. He has represented
an Isaue In his two disastrous campaigns.
This Issue, on which he went to defeat,
nevertheless, brought Mm some strength,
aa It lost htm other and most valuable
support. He no longer has that Issue,
and while he cannot hold all that cam
to him In 1K96 and In 1900, he cannot re
gain mora than a trifling percentage ot
those democrats who declined to support
him In 1900. v
A Democratic Platform.
Bt. Louis Republlo (dnm.).
Th democratic party la going Into next
year's presidential fight lined up on the
safe and conservative principles upon
which all its great victories have been
won.
Th rights of th state against federal
aggreaelon will be a . ringing not In tta
battle cry.
A tariff that will brlna; revenue to th
treasury and promote American Induatry
without allowing predatory monopolies to
Intrench behind It, the democracy will In
sist upon,
Hostility to oppressive trusts and com
binations In restraint of trade, no matter
In what lines of business or Industry, will
be a strong declaration In the platform.
Betterment of navigation In the Inland
waterways, especially those of the Mlaaia
sIpdI valley, will be urged as the best of
all promoters of commerce and th best
possible ' regulator of railroad freight
charge.
Pence In Ohio.
New TorV World (lnd. dem.).
Peace again reigns In Ohio. The Foraker
headquarters In Akron have been closed
and Dick has packed up his kit of tools.
Brother Charles In Cincinnati agrees that
th Taft managers will quit fighting For
aker and bury th hatchet. Th bloodless
war Is over. Not a political lit has been
lost.
Of course both sides offer explanations.
Secretary Taft hi Incapable of compromis
ing. Senator Foraker Is Incapable of sur
rendering. Taft wants th state Indorse
ment for president next year. PYraker
wants the indorsement for senator next
year.- Why nott "This party war is
futile," ttie.tr friends considerately agree;
let's all acquiesce in both indorsements."
So everything la beautifully arranged.
Everybody Is good, everybody will b
happy.
Roosevelt Bryan.
Baltimore News.
It Is a striking phenomenon that Is pre
sented by th ascendency of these two men
(Roosevelt and Bryan), who share between
them the personal loyalty and admiration
Of . at least nine-tenths of the American
people. Whatever th next presidential
lection may show, it Is certain that, so
far as popular feeling ts concerned, It 1 a
case ot Roosevelt and Bryan first, Vmd the
rest nowbare. And, whlla there are many
qualities . that have gone to th making
of this sttoatfon, th great thing that has
brought it about Is a quality common to
the two men that of unyielding persistence
In any fight to which, they bav given them
selves. Both, too, have phenomenal powers
of work and of endurance. ' Both have
their defect, but th American people are
not prone to. bother much about defects
if tnoy like the man in th lump.
. Brraa and . the Majority.
Washington Post (lnd.).
It occurred to Mr. Bryan the other day,
at Richmond, to remind & larga audience
that there are mora democrats In tho r
publican states at the north than there
are- In the solidly democratic south. That
Is true, and It ts a act of some momewt.
It has been such a fact for a long time.
Nevertheless Mr. Bryan Ignored It at Kansas-
City In July, 1900. As the already
nominated candidate of tho populist na
tional convention he felt bound to keep
faith with them by demanding reaffirma
tion of the slxteen-to-one hoodoo, th rotten-money
proposition which was the tie
that bound the populists to the Bryan
democrats. Therefore, against tba protests
and votes of delegates representing a very
large majority of all democrats In the
country, Mr. Bryan forced that declaration
Into the platform, whereupon the northern
delegates went to their homes feeling con
vinced that a defeat awaited their party.
Mr. Bryan had the national democratic
party In that convention at his mercy. Tfi
rejection of his dictation as to platform
would have disrupted the party as hope
lessly as It was split In 1860. But. fully
realising the conaequences that might en
sue from their action, so many delegates
voted against Mr. Bryan's ultimatum that
he could only save himself from defeat
by one vote, which was generally credited
to a titled personage from Hawaii. There
Is not In the annala of parties in this
country a parallel to that sample of stu
pendous bossing.
Warflrld Running Mat.
Baltimore American (rep.).
With Governor Warfleld aa a running
mat th result in this state (Maryland)
might possibly be different,, but ther Is
no convincing reason for believing that
It would be different. The element of the
democratlo party in Maryland, as else
where, that has' hitherto mistrusted Mr.
Bryan as a chaser of delusions would not
be Induced to a change of view because
of a desire to have a son of th state,
however personally popular he may be,
elected to preside over the United State
senate. It may be Mr. Bryan's manifest
destiny to b a third time th presidential
oandldat ot his party, but. If so. It Is
safe to prophesy that it will be his in
evitable destiny Jp, for th third time, go
down In defeat.
Senator Daniel's Boom.
Minneapolis Journal.
Senator Daniel of Virginia deprecates
talk about democratlo candidate juat now,
snd especially about himself In that con
