Democratic organs are trying to get
some comfort out of the fact that in
the recent Nebraska election they
managed to pull out one more district
judge than they had before. The dem
ocrats would like to regard the loss of
a district judge by the republicans as
an offset to the sweeping republican
victory throughout the state, and more
particularly because three or four ot
the district judgeships captured by the
democrats would have gone to the re
publicans on a normal vote.
. More careful scrutiny of the district
Judgeship contests, however, will easily
furnish the explanation. In one dis
trict the defeat of the republican
candidate was due entirely to local
extraneous matters. By the eruption
of a fierce war over the liquor question
the democratic candidate in this dis
trict was landed on the bench by an
attempt of a republican county attor
ney to enforce the "No treat law," all
very much In the same fashion as last
year in this district a democratic
candidate for congress was landed In
Washington astride of a telephone
franchise.
In two other Judicial districts where
the democrats won the republican
candidates were beaten because they
had for years been branded with the
railroad label, which was only covered
over in the eleventh hour with a thin
coat of whitewash.' For a'railroad at
torney to announce that he has sev
ered bis connection with his corporate
employers and has sent back his passes
In order to clear his path to a political
office does not inspire popular confi
dence. This is all the more true when
the defeated, candidates are loaded
down with noisome legislative rec
ords of abject subserviency to he rail
road lobby and have not even sat on
the penitents' bench the usual proba
tionary period.
While there is only poor comfort in
the district Judiciary results for the
democrats, there should also be in it a
lesson for the republicans, who should
realize that the people in their present
mood will resent and rebuke every
palpable attempt to turn the courts
over to the railroad retainers.
WHERE THE BLAUE BEL0KV8.
Political opponents of President
Roosevelt and many ot the Napoleons
of finance who have suffered by the
recent slump in speculative stocks are
still blaming the president for the
financial disturbance. Those Indulging
in this foolish talk must, in tlfelr sober
senses, know belter and they must
soon realize that they are not con
vincing the public by their protesta
tions. With signs of a subsidence of
the strained conditions, it is possible
to review the situatlo'n dispassionately
and to place the blame where it be
longs. ' ' '""
It may be admitted that the presi
dent. In his Impetuous way, has sail
some disturbing things at moments
when reassuring words would have
been welcome, but that does not make
him responsible for the conditions
against which be has complained and
against whose continuance he has di
rected the legal power of the govern
ment. The trouble has not come from
the creation of great corporations or
aggregations of capital, but from the
iniquitous practices of their promoters,
the evils of over-capitalization and the
illegal devices for crushing competi
tion. The financial stress has been
caused by stock watering jobbery and
the manipulation of railway securities
for the personal gain of men in posi
tions ot trust, to the positive detriment
of shippers and stockholders. No pub
lic protest has been raised against the
upbuilding ot gigantic manufacturing
enterprises. The protest has come
against the monopoly by these institu
tions of commodities and peceBultles
of life, on which the. people have beeu
compelled to pay an extra tax. The
president has no part in creating these
conditions. His part was in their
exposure, by calling attention to the
resulting evila and pernicious practices.
In the situation today, the people
know how far the abuses have , gone
and they know the remedies that must
be applied. Where confidence has
been shaken by exposures, it will re
turn with the assurance that the evils
have been remedied and a recurrence
of the former intolerable conditions
made impossible. It is announced
that the comptroller of the currency
is preparing to prosecute the bankers
of New York who violated the law In
the operation of "pyramid" financier
ing, which led to the recent crisis in
New York. But it was not the presi
dent's fault that these banks could not
stand investigation by the federal au
thorities. It was the exposure of the
abominable methods by which certain
Individuals had manipulated the funds
ot the banks for their personal gain.
Instead of along safe and conservative
lines, that bhook public confidence In
them.
The exposure have resulted already
In marked good. The manipulators have
bees forced from positions of trust
in banking circles and the financial in
stitutions have beeu freed from the
domination ot the speculative interests.
This has done more than any other oue
thing to enable the banking interests
of Nw York to recover their com
posure and to deal with the actual situ
ation with the calm assurance that they
are equal to its demands.
It is a trifle early to start a dispute
over the exact location of the two
fire en cine houses which are to be
butlt in Omaha with the proceeds ot
the bonds just voted for that purpose.
The number ot Bremen cannot be in
ert ased until after the new levy U

spring and finished by next fall they
will be ready in ample time.
TREE-OhOWlXa JS A BCS1SKS.
While the Department ot Agriculture
has been doing a splendid work In
brging upon the American people the
necessity of preserving and increasing
the forests of the nation against the
day when the timber supply will be
exhausted, more should be accom
plished by the recent efforts of Head
Forester Pinchot. to show that there
is a profit in tree planting, just aa there
is profit in raising corn, wheat, cotton
and other products of the soil. It is
admitted that the returns are consider
ably slower than those reaped from the
growing of cereals, but their value
promises to be all the greater, owing to
the inroads being made annually upon
our timber resources, with the conse
quent certainly that the timber when
grown will command a good price In
the markets.
Tree growing as a business Is yet in
the experimental stage, but the de
partment has furnished statistics of ex
periments already made which offer
the greatest encouragement for further
work along this line. The department
records show that a 16-year-old ratalpa
plantation in Pawnee county, Nebraska,
gave a net return of $152.17 per acre,
when cut last year. Another Nebraska
catalpa grove, when 14 years old,
produced a net profit of $170.50 per
acre, while a lO-yea'-oId catalpa plan
tation in Kansas showed a net value of
$197.55 per acre. Osage orange has
produced as high as 2,640 first-class
posts and 2,272 second-class pouts per
acre. Rod cedar, in plantation 25
years old, has attained a value of $200
per acre and European larch is worth
from $200 to $300 per acre.
Much encouragement to this desir
able industry may be lent by legisla
tive action. In Pennsylvania a law
has been passed rebating for thirty
five years 95 per cent of the taxes on
woodland. This is expected to apply
to some 55,000 acres of neglected for
est land which was taxed as high as
other land, and, because profitless, was
abandoned. The new law has already
caused plans for a general reforesta
tion of the property. Connecticut,
New Hampshire, Indiana, Maine, Rhode
Island and Wisconsin also have en
acted laws reducing taxation to en
courage the growing of forests. In
Nebraska, the taxable valuation of land
is exempted from any addition by
reason of growing trees upon It. The
growing of trees as a business should
be encouraged everywhere. It is a
field that offers splendid Inducements
for investments that are certain to re
turn liberal profits in the end.
Railroads have attributed their de
lay in ordering new rails to the dis
turbed condition, of the money market,
but it appears that the trouble has
been caused largely by the refusal of
the Steql trust to make rails according
to the new specifications without an
advance in price. The rate has now
been fixed at $31 a ton and Pittsburg
is expecting orders for two or three
million tona of rails to be released at
once.
The defeat of county division out In
CuBter county means that Nebraska
will continue to count up Just ninety
counties for a while longer. Nebraska
has several counties embracing more
area than a New England state, and
with the steady increase of population
Nebraska is due before many years to
redecorate the map with a dozen new
counties.
The nepotism microbe has not got
ten into the state house very far since
the republicans regained control of
Nebraska not nearly eo far as it did
when the demo-pops tenanted the
offices. Moreover, the nepotism mi
crobe, if taken while it is young, may
be eradicated without great effort.
The proposed live stock show for
Omaha is a good thing which should
be pushed along, but it must not be
d.scussed ai In the same class with
the horse show. At a live stock show
the live stock constitutes the main at
traction. Mayor Becker of Milwaukee has de
clined an offer of $1,000, a week to go
into vaudeville. If the vaudeville man
agers insist upon getting a mayor who
can do funny stuuts they might find
It to their advantase to search the
Omaha city hall.
It looks as it Omaha were at last
waking up to the Importance of the
movement for development of the In
land waterways. Omaha's location on i
the Missouri rlver is Just as good for
wate. transportation as Kansas City's
location on the Kaw.

POINTERS OV STATE POLITICS.
Howells Journal: The Douglas county
fellows who looked upon Jim Dahhnn
as a political Moses have another feruess
coming. That Jonah will be thrown over
board before the next state campaign.
Sterling Sun: The wisdom of ihc Mate
primary election law' Is more fully demon
strated as time goes on. People should
be a little more fully Informed concern
ing the various candidates before -the
primary, and they will seldom make a
mistake In their selection.
Allen News: Tho spectacle of u. county
liko Dixon, with over 300 republican ma
jority, filling the principal county offices
with fuslunlsts, is a disgrace to tile party
and goes to show that a whole lot of peo
ple who claim to be good republicans, are
after all only half republicans, and that
half bad republicans.
Beatrice Sun: Frank Harrison demands
the immedlato organisation of a Roose
velt club. He believes that the election
returns enow a decided preference for
Roosavelt and feels that delays are -tan-gerous.
Mr. Harrison, la at present hold
ing down a fat Job under Mr. Roosovjlt,
which may In soma meaaure account tor
his Interest at this time.
York Times: Chairman Hayward of the
republican atate commit too 1a to bo com
mended for the clean and successful
palgn through which we have Just passed.
The atmosphere of he state its clearer
and more wholesome than it ever haa been
before after a campaign. There arS no
bad sores and no. ugly, things to repint.
Mr. Hayward is a clean, bright, aJfable
gentleman and will be potent In the coun
cils of the party.
Beatrice Express: William Hayward,
chairman of the republican state central
committee, wins large credit for the man
ner In which he led the late campaign.
His selection for thtf place Is shown to
have been a wise one. His influence for
a united party was potent, and was effec
tual in obliterating any spirit of resent
ment felt over the defeat of Judge Sedg
wick. Mr. Hayward is acknowledged to
be a coming man In Nebraska politics.
Norfolk Press: A "whirlwind campaign"
of speech-making on the eve of election
doesn't amount to as much as it used to.
The voters had about all made up their
minds on how they were going to vote when
Mr. Bryan started on his tour, and all his
audiences were composed of fellows who
would vote, for any' old thing that wore a
democratic label. Tlio democratic party
needs a few less orators and a few more
good newspapers with editors who have
brains enough to conduct a campaign on
winning lines.
Falrbury News: It would afford us great
satisfaction to support Roosevelt for re
election next year, but wb have no sym
pathy with tha sentiment that he la the
only available republican for that poBltlou.
The party has never reached that stage
at any time In Its history. It has very
many men who could be elected, and who
would fill the position with honor and dig
nity after election. If Mr. Roosevelt is
persistent In his refusal to accept, a man
will be forthcoming who will take up the
work where he left off, and neither the
party nor the reforms he stood for will
suffer thereby. We have an abiding faith
In the wisdom of the republican party.
Beatrice Times: It la to be admitted
that the bolting In the republican ranks
of Oage county was furious. On of the
best antidotes for this Is so to amend the
primary election law as to require a ma
jority vote to nominate a candidate. Take
It on the sheriff in this county at the
lection the other day, for example. Cf
course the men who ran aaalnst Mr.
Trude for the nomination did not bolt
him at the polls. But supposing they had
done so. Aa It was. he got "Just over the
zence." If they had turned out aga. it
him at the polls, he surely would hav
been snowed entirely under. The -oi it
Is, that with a measly plurality nomina
tion there ia nothing to hold the party
machinery together, unless the candid ite
Just happens to suit all tlu- party mem
bers. This seldom happens.

Colonel Walters' Remarks on Ken
tnckr and Democracy.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
If e were asked to put In a single sen
tence the cause of democratic disaster In
Kentucky we should answer. The One Man
Tower.
The One Man rower established by Will
lam Ooebcl descended to John Crepr
Wlckllfte Beckham. Always a precarious
. possession.
It became perlloua and finally
deadly In the hands of an ambitious, un
sparing organiser sacrificing everybody and
everything tho ethlre and practice of Just
government along with the prlnc'pleg of
id'mocracy-to the single purpose of build-
. . . ., ' ...
lng a self-perpetuating machine like that
' . ,7 ,
!of the Camerons, and thereafter of Quay, In
Pennsylvania.
But the liluegraas state Ir not as the
Keystone state. The truo Kentucklan
bows his head to no man's yoke. Ken
tucky was about to rebel against the Im
mortal Clay when the Sage of Ashland
died. What Clay could not do, what
Breckinridge could not do, what Guthrie
could not do, lay not beneath the com
petency of a successor of far Inferior tal
enta.
Yet the times have been ripe for schem
ing politics. Ten long years have witnessed
little else among our public men than
dicker and barter. Irradiated by scarcoly
a gleam of conviction, warmoft by never
a heart-beat of generosity. Beginning with
perfidy, presently Pharisaism ruled the
hour. For the first time In Kentucky the
honest politician was regarded as tho poittl-
clun who would stand nitehed and stay
bought. Treachery, too common to be
rated as one of the fine arts, became a
commodity. To somo it became an asset
If all the circumstances entering Into the
shake-up given the democratic organization
of Loulsvlllo by the democratic, organts
atl.-m of Frankfort could be plainly et
forth the peP'o would draw back with
amazement and horror.
The strange thing about It, however, was
not so much Its discreditable origin and
rurpose as Its luck of wisdom and forecast
In politics claiming to be practical and re
cognizing no law except their own advan
tage. Conceding that It was In itself a
good thing for good government, how could
the self-aggrandizing men behind It haVe
Imagined that It would Inure to their
profit? It gave tho repibllcani their chance
and they were quick to Improve It.
But the defeat which haa overtaken the
democrats was infinitely moro far-roachlng.
The queer proceeding with respect to the
mountain feudists, ythe Immunity enjoyed
by the outlaws of tho tobacco belt, the
snap-primary with Its stuffed returns, the
shameless use of the public patronage In
dovetailing the machine, were enough to
arouse the distrust of fair-minded men.
Even these things, however, might huve
been overcome, If they had brought with
them some shining qualities dazzling the
eyes of the people and appealing to state
pride. Of eloquence there was none. Not a
sentence was heard that could be de
scribed as sclntlllant. not a thought was
uttered that could take root to the popular
heart and be remembered, but only medioc
rity talking against time, while organism
got In the ruthless work.
Finally, as the crowning mistake of
stolidity masquerading as a statesman,
theso blind leaders of the blind, wholly
misconceiving, the force of a hysterical
wave of prohibition, sought to mount this
and ride it, cutting loose not only from
democratic tradition, but from the facta of
the situation and the logic of the argu
ment. At the last moment the day might have
been saved If the democratic ticket had
said, aa indeed to all Intents and purposes
the republican ticket did say "Prohibition
does not prohibit. - Nowhere has it resulted
In anything but evasion and hypocrisy,
adulteration and outlawry, smuggling and
extortion. What shall it profit us If we
confiscate 1 00,000,000 of contagious values,
transferring $2,000,000 or X3.000.000 of taxes
from l'.e manufacture and distribution of
distilled and malt liquors to the shoulders
of the already over-burdened farmer,
merely In order to make Kentucky aa dry
oa Maine, which Is not dry at all?"
There could bo no answer to this. It is
not only true in ltuelf, but It Is true
democracy. Fancy a democratic ticket
i preaching sumptuary laws in the stute and
a democratic ticket preaching no law at all
In tho cityl How was It possible for vic
tory to emanate from auch an abandon
ment of sound political tergiversation?
The Courier-Journal hus done its bvst to
avert a disaster which was inevitable un
less the leaders of tha party, seeing It
coming, eould also see the need to trim
their lamps and set their house in order.
We have been unable to utter a word of
warning which was not violently resented
by tho organs of the One Man Power.
Nothing short of crooking tha pregnant
hingea of the knee and becoming Incense
burners with the rest could satisfy the in
satiate demand of the time servers wko
picked up crumbs from the official table
or loafed about the throne of grace. No
motive was bad enough, absurd enough, to
bo ascribed to a newspaper which had
committed the slnsrle offense of honestly
supporting Itself and of calling its soul its
own. Yet these ten years the Cour'er-Jour-nal
has given Its party no advice that was

buke to President Roosevelt we have been
unsuccessful.
However anxious wo are to find encour
agement for the democratic party and evi
dence of brighter democratic prospects, the
returns refuse to assist us.
On the contrary, the figures Justify Iresl-
dent Roosevelt's exultant boant that the
returns, are "extremely gratifying" and
that as a whole "the showing has been an
Improvement over what It was four years
ago and eight years ago."
