It was to bo expected that Colonel Bryan would find cause to criticise President Koosevelt's Provlneetown speech,- bnt it will doubtless occasion some surprise that the criticism should be based upon the president's declara tlon of certain principles of which Colonel Bryan has heretofore been rather ardent champion. According to Colonel Bryan, the most vulnerable point In the president's address Is his advocacy of a law for the federal in corporation of railroads and other cor poratlons engaged in interstate com merce. "The president's Hamlltonlan Ideas," declares Colonel Bryan, "make Mm an easy victim and he yields to the entreaties of the railroads. Colonel Bryan sees in the president's proposition the disclosure of the scheme for centralizing power In the federal government. He asserts that the railroads, hot the public, are de manding the removal of authority from the states to the federal govern ment and that this demand is due to fear of further restrictive and regula tlve legislation by the states. He sees, or professes to see, in the proposition for federal incorporation a deep-laid scheme on the part of the president to relieve the railroads of responsibil ity to state laws and state courts, Colonel Bryan also expresses the utmost confidence that the democrats of the nation and the remnant still remaining in congress will present "an unbroken front on this vital proposi tion." . As a matter of fact, however, Colonel Bryan is not In position to criticise President Roosevelt's advocacy of the federal incorporation of railways and other corporations doing an interstate business without repudiating his own clearly defined indorsement of that policy. In an address before the con ference on trusts, held in Chicago in 1899, after declaring his position on what he believed to be the rights of states in authorising arid regulating corporations doing business within their borders, Colonel Bryan said: But I do not think that this la sufflcloat. believe. In addition to a state remedy. there muat be a federal remedy, and I believe congreaa has, or should have, the power to place restrictions and limita tions, even to the point of prohibition. upon any corporation organised In any state that wants to do buntness outside of that atate. I say that congreaa has, or ahould have, power to place upon the corporation such limitation or restric tion, even to the point of prohibition. aa may to congress aeem neraaurv foe the protection of the public.

It a not safe to place the people of other I ii me tenner mercy or such a atate aa may desire to collect lta run ning expenses from the taxation of cor porations organised to prey upon people outside. One method has occurred to me and It seems to be a complete method. That cengresa ahoulApaia a law providing mat no corporation organized in any atate hould do business outside of the state in waicn it is organised until It receives from soma power created by congress a license authorising It to do business out side of its own state. UDn conditions which will, in the first place, prevent the watering , of stock; In the second place. prevent monopoly in any branch of bust ness, and, third, provide fW publicity aa to all of 'the transaction and business of the corporation. iu aDove quotation is a very succinct statement of what President Roosevelt has been urging In the way of future legislation for the regula tion of railways. ;The reproduction of It leaves Colonel Bryan in an embar rassing position. It may sustain his claim that his political clothes have been stolen by someone high In au thority at Washington, but it robs bis recent criticism of the president's proposition for federal incorporation f corporations doing an Interstate business of all it force. It is clearly up to him to explain whether ho was wrong in 1899 or Is wrong now. or Agriculture Wilson has been for two months In the west, lnveUgatlng forest reserve, irrigation, gracing and other agricultural problems.

The location of a new cereal mill at Omaha depends apparently on Omaha furnishing the capital. If Omaha fur hlshes the capital it can start almost any new Industry, so the real question at Isflue In this case is, whether it is the best proposition that can be pro moted with the amount of money re quired? Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, an eminent alienist, has declared that a prominent New York man is Insane because "he repeats certain words and sentences over and over again." Sev eral talkative politicians who might be named had better be careful about coming into contact with Dr. Hamil ton. For the information of new comers, who may not be fully up to the tricks practiced by the politicians in every campaign hereabouts, it may not be out or place to remind them that the odltor of The Bee is not a candidate for any office to be filled at the com Ing primary election.

Among the other reforms instituted by President Roosevelt 1b that pt hav ing the members of his cabinet fa miliarize themselves with the condi tions of tho country, and of the world, with special reference to the needs of the departments of government over which they preside. This Is Illustrated by the fact that seven of the nine members of the president's official family have been spending most of their time since the adjournment of congress visiting different sections of the country and making personal study of subjects that will command the at tention of jtheir departments : and of the coming congress. Until a very few years ago mem bers of the cabinet were content to get all their information from subordi nates, while it was rare, indeed, that the 'chief executive went far from Washington during tbe term of his of fice. This was due, perhaps, to the hesitancy of high officials to lay them selves open to the charge of touring for political purposes. Whatever the cause, the fact remains that tho presi dent and his cabinet were accustomed to spend their time at Washington or at their summer: homes during their, terms of office. But since President Roosevelt's accession to the presidency he has visited, if we are not mistaken, every state in tho union, frankly dis cussing questions commanding public attention and 'taking tbe people Into his confidence concerning his views on alt questions. ' His example has been followed by most of his cabinet. Mr. Shaw, while secretary of the treas ury, was perhaps the most traveled member of the cabinet, visiting many states and discussing the president's policies, and particularly tho adminis tration Of treasury affairs. ' At the present time seven, members of the cabinet are away from Wash ington oa official business. Secretary IbtXCCSABLM LAWLESSNESS. The lynching of Murderer Hlgglns on his arrival at Bancroft from Omaha in custody of the sheriff is a piece of inexcusable lawlessness. While the crime for which the pris oner was responsible reached the height of brutal atrocity, there was nothing to Indicate that the perpetra tor would not be required to atono tor with his life. Nothing had happened since tho ap prehension of the murderer to prevent the due course of Justice under tho regular administration of the law pro ceeding to vindicate society fully for the crime that had been committed. In committing another crime equally reprehensible, friends and neighbors of the murdered couple have little to offer in extenuation and only bring upon themselves and the whole state an odium which will with difficulty be shaken off. The lynching of a negro in tho south is a common occurrence ulckly forgotten, but the lynching of white man in Nebraska puts a blot on the name of the state not easily erased. i While the Bancroft lynchers call for nquallfled condemnation, we may as well open our eyes to the fact that the recent escape of several notorious mur- erers through the meshes of the law right here in Nebraska has tended to create a popular distrust of the effl ciency of our courts for the prompt punishment of homicidal crime. The miscarriage of Justice in the courts, coupled with the flagrant abuse of the pardoning power, reaching a culmina tion under Governor Mickey, have fur nished the fuel to this fire. The lynching of Murderer Hlgglns, however, has simply produced another murder for which the law should leave no stone unturned to fix the culpabil ity and to exact the penalty. A Hot Cha Ahead.

Nothing mundane should interfere with the steady disappearance of earth from the Culebra, VP A lot of confusion and misunder standing is sure to result from the use of last year's registration books as the enrollment of voters entitled to par ticipate in the primary election next week. These registration books were made up nearly a year ago and a great many people who will be entitled to vote at the next election will find that for one reason or another their names do not appear properly recorded In tho registration books. Tho Intention of the law-makers waa to leave an open ing for first voters and for those who had moved into the precinct since tho last' preceding day of registration, but by a bungle in copying the bill while in transit through the legislature a vital word was left out, as a conse quence of which a literal reading of the law disfranchises ' all except first voters or transferred voters. This palpable mistake will, of course, bo Ignored by the election officers, but it ought to bo corrected at tho first opportunity. It is refreshing to learn by way of Lincoln that tho superintendent of tho Detection homo hero has been giving out this information about that institution: As far as expenses go, Omaha la free. Moral support is all that its people give. The flnanolal part la a county expense. As if nine-tenths of tho money paid Into the county treasury of Douglas county did not come right out of the pockets of the taxpayers of Omaha. The Detention homo is, doubtless, a good thing, but the people of Lincoln must not be misled into the belief that they can have a Detention home with out paying roundly for It. Those stockholders of the United States Express company who have asked Senator Piatt to resign the pres idency of that concern should take a lesson from the experience of Senator Piatt's constituents, who asked him to resign from the United States sen ate.

It is known to those who have taken an interest In such matters that corpora tions and wealthy Individuals have not only seised upon or purchased for a song the valuable product of the brains of poor Inventors, but that they have also often purchased Inventions at any price for the purpose of suppressing them for the reason that their adoption and Introduction would destroy estab lished' devices, even though the eventual value would be Immeasurable. Now It Is asserted that the two great telegraph corporations are deliberating over un earthing from their tomb certain auto matic telegraph Instruments which were burled for the sole reason that their adoption would have meant an expenslva revolution throughout all the incomput able ramifications of their systems. No Invention which saves labor or mul tiplies the capacity for communication or transportation, or which adds to the com fort or safety of the public, should bo suppressed or Ignored. Long years aftor the adoption of the airbrake, and years after railway employee had prayed for Its application to freight trains, congress enacted a law, at the Instance of labor organisations, providing for this appllca tion, but allowing a. designated period to effect the great change. That period elapsed and atlll the airbrake was only sporadically applied, and investigation and further action were necessary before all the railway companies would yield. Tho change, though expensive, has saved the Uvea of untold numbers of railway em ployes, but this possibility did toot see.n to be of Importance to the corporations. A new engineer, or fireman, or brakeman could be bought cheaper than a new air brake. ' This Is Instanced merely to show the reason why good new Inventions are r fused, or purchased and suppressed by corporations because of the Immense firit cost of their general introduction. The labor world Itself haa no reaosn to be afraid of such Inventions. There is al ways an avenue for the employment of the witling, skillful and Industrious, Workmen no longer, aa In the old days of invention, assemble to smash labor-sav ing devices. These. Invariably have In ured to the benefit of the workman as well as the employer, and in truth It Is due to the machine, and the superior Intelligence required for its successful operation, that the workman and work woman of today are advanced to the standard of organisers and educators uf themselves in formal movements having vital bearing upon their present and future.

Norfolk Press: Of the republican candi dates for railway commissioner the Press unhesitatingly gives Its support to Henry T. Clarke, Jr. Mr. Clarke was appointed by Governor Sheldon. The nomination Is in all fairness due him. McCook Tribune: The fact that Governor Sheldon haa appointed Henry T. Clarke, Jr., to fill the unexpired term of Robert Cowell on the State Railway commission Is an evidence of confidence on the part f the governor in Mr. Clarke's ability and pur pose,, and will go far in assisting the candi dacy of Mr. Clarke for nomination. Kearney Hub: Henry T. Clarke, Jr., makes a straightforward appeal for re election. Mr. Clarke made a satisfactorv reform record la the last legislature and the governor appointed him because he believed him to be perfectly trustworthy.
