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.

or ahould have, power to place upon the

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. '

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 lot of confusion and misunder

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

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

the law disfranchises ' all except first
voters or transferred voters. This

SVPPHES810X OF INVENTIONS
Telegraph Companies Dlaalna
Burled Devices.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
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 drouth In the east Is widespread and
appears to be even more severe In the
eastern Allegheny region than In New
England. The Susquehanna river at liar
rlsburg is close to the record low-water
mark of 1803, which has been touched not

years since.
In spite of the fact that Dr. Osier was
severely criticised for Ms pronunclamento
on old age, he still retains the high re
spect of his confreres, and anything he
has to say on the science of medicine Is
listened to with respect. He has won com
mendation for his observations before the
International Congress on School Hygiene
In London, in which he talked of the Im
portance of caring for the teeth of school
children. He said that 70 per cent of the
school attendance In England showed de
cayed teeth, and he advocated the appoint
ment of a school dentist who should make
regular Inspections.
