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.

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.

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,

finds confirmation in the statement of
former Governor Durbln of Indiana

Taylor to his political enemies in Ken

are making an effort to reform the

As was to have been supposed, an

RAILROAD CONTROL APPROVED.

Springfield Republican.
President A. B. 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

AN AUTIMX NIGHT.
Will F. Griffin, In Milwaukee Sentinel.
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.
And the moonlight Altera ghost-like thro
the silvered poplar tree
The hush of peace is sweet upon the la ml.
The Polestar twinkles brightly In the arch
ing, sprinkled sky,
A guide for weary feet that went astray,
The asters nod their heads at every rustle,
every algh
Of the wind that blows across the mead
owed way.
Thro' the starlit space, far-reaching, wher
the sombre garments trail,
When the heavens are aa fair as these
tonight,
I would go with soul unburdened, till the
Pawning, tinted, pale,
Meets the day In all Ha splend'roua robes
6f white.
And I'd go beyond the morning, free from
grasp of grimy town,
Little heeding what the way might taks
me thro".
Whether thorna or fields of daisies llttlt
caring what the crown.
If the way lead on forever Just with you
