RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES. while The Bee haa no desire to usurp any functions not belonging to It as a republican newspaper or to dictate the candidate of the party, it ha an Interest In the present cam paign to promote harmony and elmin ate factionalism by procuring the nom (nation of a ticket representing all republican elements and appealing so forcibly to the voter as to make Its subsequent electlon'reasonably certain without special effort. After the nominations are made, as the recognized republican organ. The Bee will be expected to come to the front for the ticket and carry the burden of the contest so far as pertain to giving publicity to its merit and defending It against attack. It is not, therefore, transgressing its duty in recommending a ticket made up with harmony as Its watchword, reflecting the consensus of opinion of disinter ested party counsellors as to what combination of candidates would be most Invincible. The " Harmony" ticket, which will be found on the first page, Includes all of the present coonty officers who are asking re-election, as well a the name of Henry X. Clarke, Jr., for railway commissioner, appointed from this county to a vacancy on the board. For the six contested places on the county ticket The Bee would recommend thf following: Tor District Clerk... W. W. Blng-hiun For Sheriff E. r. Bralle Tor Treasurer rrank A. ruray Tot Assessor Frank Mahcmoy For Coroner Harry B. Davis For Comptroller . . Emmet O. Solomon ine nomination or tnis ticket as made up would give a desirable ap portionment of the candidate among the different wards of Omaha and be tween Omaha, South Omaha and the country. Its nomination would like wise give full representation to the ainerem tactions or the party aa formerly divided. The Fontanelle would have Clarke for railway com missioner, Bingham for district clerk, Leslie for Judge, Haverly for clerk, while they have also endorsed Furay for treasurer. The remaining nomina tion would be taken from adherents of the old machine faction, or from those who have been neutral between the factional lines. The success of a "Harmony" ticket at the primary next Tuesday would without question spell victory at the polls in November and, more than that, would put the party In this county in position to work together shoulder to shoulder in the big fight that 1 to determine the presidency next year. THK AMERICAN HORSKSHOg The American horseshoe appeared in a lucky role the other day, when it was made the subject of a brief but animated discussion in the English House of Commons. The queetlon came up on a protest of Howard Vin cent, a conservative member, who wanted to know why the government had ordered, through the War office, 100,000 American horseshoes for the British cavalry, instead of buying them at home and supporting British Industries and British workmen. Th reply of Mr. Haldane, the war minis ter, was direct and specific. He de clared that the government' would buy horseshoes or any other army supplies n America when it could get them a good or better than it could buy them n England, and at more satisfactory prices. Mr. Haldane also stated that he would not apologize to British pro tectionists for his course and that he did not rare very much what thev thought about it. The Incident Is significant, in view of the fact that the standpatters have for year been clamoring for high tariff duties on American manufac tured products on the theory that ueh protection wa necessary to oroteet American, workmen from the competi tion of the "pauper labor of Europe." England, which for a century has been the leading manufacturing nation of the world, is finding that It can buy better goodB in America than It can get at home, and at more satisfactory prices. It Is an admission by England that American Industrie have had a most marvelous development and that the product of the American workman and the American factory can com mand a place In the market of the world without reference to tariff schedule. It 1 a pleasing tribute to the combination of brawn and brain that i the hall mark of good from American factories. PR1HTKRS JKD Ptt KAMKS. When Charles H. Stilling of Boston was selected by President Roosevelt to be public printer, in charge of the gov ernment printing office at Washington, printer throughout the country raised a protest that Mr. Stilling waa not a practical man. It wa admitted, after much investigation, that Mr. Stilling had been engaged in the printing busi ness and understood the art preserva tive, but some of the old timer con tinued to Insist, that while Mr. Still ing might understand printing, he did not know printer. Development from time to time have strengthened thl contention of the printer and now come convincing proof. In an official order. Issued for the guidance and direction of about 4,000 employe of the government printing office, Mr. Stilling ha de creed that hereafter the use of nick name among the employes must be abandoned and that employe shall address each other as "Mr.," "Miss" or "Mrs ," as the case may be. Desirable a It may be to have Boa ton society manner made a top liner on th style card la print shops, those who know printer will be convinced Jutht Ua BUUIbj Lm fcOeoDted, Innovation that will cost the govern ment a lot of money before the printers get the habit. Time is money In a printing office and time wasted I money lost. Think, therefore, of the money the government is going to lose while Slug 14 is learning that his name I "Mr. Johnson" Instead of "Four Eyes," and while Arabella Jones Is learning to answer to the call of "Mis Jones" Instead of being addressed as "Jonesy." The makeup man will have to wait or consult his pocket directory before he can Issue a. rush call for that galley which is being corrected over In the next alley by a genius whom he has learned to know and love as "Red." but whose first and real name has never figured In the composing room record. Then imagine, too, the delay and annoyance sure to follow the dis covery by the foreman that "Shorty" and "Dutch" and "Mike," who work In the stereotype rooms on terms of armed neutrality with the composing room force, have teal names, and pos sibly home and friends. Calling people by their praenomens may be a reversion and Mr. Sailings may be against the reversion, but it going to be difficult to convince the average printer that he Is In danger of losing his job if he presumes to address a lifelong companion without the formal prefix, or, as the printer would put It, without giving him handle. ARE THEY ASHAMED OF 117 The manager of the Fontanelle machine started out in the present pre liminary campaign by endorsing a county ticket from top to bottom and sending the favored candidates but as the chosen of the people. In doing this the Indians were simply following out their previous practice of assuming that they constitute the whole republi can party and that edict had only to be Issued from Fontanelle club rooms to have them promptly registered at primaries. But behold the Fontanelle ticket now being passed around and distri buted through the mail with no in scription on it but thl: "Put thl card In your pocket and carry It to the polls." No heading "Fontanelle ticket!" Nothing to indicate It source or parentage! Nothing to prevent base imitation! Just a list of name such as any one with money to pay the printer might produce. Another glaring omission is the name of Henry T. Clarke, Jr., for state railway commissioner, an original Fontanelle, yet the very candidate Omaha is vitally interested in. In throwing down Clarke the managers of the Fontanelle machine throw down Omaha's business interests. What is the matter? Are the Fon tanelle afraid to fly their colors? Or are they ashamed of the ticket they have endorsed? Or is it that they fear the label "Fontanelle" would drive more votes away than it would win? RESCUE Of "OLD IRONSIDES." The patriotic protest that followed the order for the destruction of the old frigate Constitution has borne fruit and the navy authorities, under the direction of the president, have decided that the battered old boat shall be given a permanent anchorage and be preserved as an object lesson n patriotism befitting the part played by it In the illustrious naval history of the nation. , "Old Ironsides" does not amount to much, from a naval standpoint, in these day when nation are spending hundreds of millions in the construc tion of armored battleship with a de structive capacity that wa beyond the magination of the men who served in the American navy in the days when the Constitution was shedding luster on American arms by winning some of the greatest fights in the history of naval warfare to that time. The old frigate was launched 110 years ago this fall, and while it will be best re membered by the battle with the Brit ish frigate Guerrtere, In 18U, it had played a part in most stirring events prior to that time. The Constitution was the flagship of the American com mander and took part in thre of the flva bombardments of the port of Tri poli, in that conflict In which it was demonstrated that America wa ready and willing to defend the national honor at home or abroad. The fight between the Constitution and the Guerrlere took place on Au gust 19, 1812. The Constitution, hav ing escaped from a British squadron off the coast of New Jersey, after a spirited chase of three days, encoun tered and gave battle to the Guerrlere, winning a glorious victory, leaving the British frigate a total wreck. The British lost seventy-nine men during the fight and the Constitution lost fourteen, which was bloody fighting for those day. The gallant old hlp continued a erle of brilliant vlctorle during the war of 1818, contributing more than any other factor to the final triumph of the American force. Th vessel wa ordered dismantled in 1828 as unseawortby, but the proposition aroused a fury of protest that stilled all talk of the destruction of the old Constitution until Secretary Bonaparte proposed that the ship be taken out to ea and used a a target for the practice work of the modern battle ship. Another outburst of indigna tion followed aad now the old Consti tution, which has been lying at the Boston navy yard for th last ten year, i to be repaired and will be come a fixture in a nary museum where the glorious traditions of the American navy may be fittingly pre served. The battered old hull holds much of the affection of the American people and th president's decision to preserve the frigate will be universally I commended. I ironDERrcL submarine tests. Developments of the last week in navy circle. In teat of a submarine boat recently built for the government, may well make naval officials hesitate before recommending the construction of monster battleship which might not last a minute in a conflict at sea with the new submarine Instruments of de struction. The entire theory and plan of naval warfare may, it appears, be revised in view of the remarkable suc cess of the submarine fighters, which appear to have conquered substantially all of the mechanclal difficulties which have baffled Inventor for considerably more than a century. The new submarine boat, the Viper, sustained successfully a sea test of four full days, or nlnety-slx hours, during which time the vessel neither entered port nor obtained assistance from any other ship. The boat went through all the evolutions, above and under water,, and demonstrated that a subma rine fighter, properly equipped,- can travel 1,000 miles and render that section of the sea almost absolutely safe from attack by a hostile fleet. At one stage of the test the Viper ran at full speed while submerged for six hours. During that time the meals for the crew were cooked and served and no 111 effects were suffered by any one. The test removes much of the specu lation as to the effect of such craft on naval warfare. The foundation of all defense Is to first make the base secure and it is now obvious that if the differ ent ports were equipped with a fleet of these new submarines, the coastline would be protected against an enemy and the sea, for a distance of 300 or 400 miles from tlie coast, made reason ably safe from attack. Naval experts are familiar with the effectiveness of the torpedo boat a a fear Impeller. The surface torpedo boat, while -it never caused much damage In actual warfare, was always highly effective in creating alarm and producing the cautious approach that frequently spelled victory for the defensive fleet. The development of the submarine tor pedo boat promises to Intensify not only the fear, but the actual danger due to this element In sea fighting. Submarine experiment In Europe have been attended by appalling accident Thus far the United State has escaped such disasters and this may be cogent reason for believing that this country has developed the correct tyne of the submarine boat. At present the greatest handicap of the submarine boat is its lack of speed. Moving only eight or ten knots an hour, it could never overtake 'a batUeshlp, but the new tests, which show that the sub marine ia capable of operating under water for five or six hours at a time. make it a mighty engine of defense or offense in coastline operations. The effect of the testa will doubtless be ob served in consideration of future naval legislation by congress. , The official organ of the Fontanelle club, known a the "Municipal Record," ha been resurrected for one or two more issues during the pending local primary campaign. The "MunlclDal Record" Is an influential organ and it support Is highly prised by candidates who pay for it. It will be remembered as the chief means of communicating to the public those flamboyant prom Ises to force "immediate compulsory purchase" of the water works by the city and for Its boastful aDneals in behalf of Benson for mayor. Strangely enough the new Issue fails to say a word about the $6,000,000 water works appraisal, or even to mention the number of votes that Benson fell Denma nis successful competitor. The "MMnlclpal Record." however,' may still be readily identified by its water mark. The contention that the Caleb Pow ers trial in Kentucky is a political, ratner tnan a judicial, proceeding finds confirmation in the statement of former Governor Durbln of Indiana that he wa offered a bribe of $93,000 u he would surrender ex-Governor Taylor to his political enemies in Ken tucky. The earnest Kentucklan who are making an effort to reform the tate should tart ln by removing the blindfold from the Goddess of Justice. As was to have been supposed, an attempt Is being made to rally the democrats throughout Nebraska to give the preference to the democratic candidate for the supreme Judgeship nomination over the populist, to whom It was at first conceded. The demo crats are all for fusion provided only the populists fuse with them on a democrat. Senator Tillman declares that Bryan Is the only great man In the demo cratic party of the north. Modesty prevents the senator from giving his opinion as to the only really truly great democrat of th south. Mr. Hearst is denouncing the "fool ish, fatuous and worthless railway rate bill of the last congress." The railway manipulators doubtless wish they could see things through Hearst glasses. Justice Gaynor of the supreme court of New York has decided that betting Is not a crime. John W. Gates may now reconsider his decision t make his future home In England. The Lla la Baa?.

BUckney of the Chicago Great Western railroad, ln an Interview cabled from London to the New Tork Times, takes a favorable view of the busi ness situation and strongly approves of Mr. Roosevelt's policy of federal railroad control and prosecution of rebate and other corporation offender. He prefers uniform national control of the roads to a "petti fogging" state control. Speaking of the stock market collapse he says: I believe the present depression In rail road stocks does not Indicate a crisis of any serioutneas, for business Is good and President Rooaevelt's purpose Is not de structive. Apart from tb approach of the presidential campaign, there la not a single element ln the country to-day which Is likely to Induce a period of hard times. Our money is perfectly sound, crops are fair, and prosperity Is widespread. The only permanent effect of Mr. Rooaevelt's present campaign will be to put American Investments on a sounder basis." It la to be noted that Mr. Stlckney advo cates the development of national control of railroads at tha expense of state power In relation thereto for the reason that Mr. Bryan opposes It aa being more favorable to railroad property and its owners. From the standpoint of either conservative at tacks upon the president appear rather foolish. Ezceaalve Birthrate af Backers. San Francisco Chronicle. .

I can hear the rustling music over yonder In the corn. There's the acent of new cut hay from out the fields ; Cornea a lonely night bird's walling, calllna to its mate, forlorn. Where the leafy copse Its nest all safely shields. The crlikets chirp their melody along the garden wall. Far away the clty'a lights begin to shine; Everywhere the world ia mantled, held within night's dewey thrall. And the music and the dreaming soft entwine. The country road lies gleaming pa"! the golden billowed sea. That Is ready for the reaper's sturdy hand.
