If the early .announcement of Mr Ehallenberger e desire to head the next democratic state ticket as candl date for governor was Intended to stifle the gubernatorial ambitions of George W. Berge, It has fulled ot its purpose. Washington was surprised to note how well Robert L. Owen, the Indian senator from Oklahoma, handled hi in self in debate. As Owen is oue-thlrty econd part Cherokee and the rest Irish and has mads a fortune in prac tice at the bar, Washington may learn to be surprised that It was surprised NEBRASKA ASSURED TO TAFT. The primaries and conventions beld throughout this state during the last week have assured the support ot the Nebraska delegation In the Chicago convention to Mr. Taft. Although none of the national delegates have yet been formally commissioned, the Instructions voted by the rank and file of the party upon the delegates to the state And congressional conventions make It certain that these delegates when selected will go to Chicago com mitted to Mr. Taft's candidacy. Nebraska republicans have a right to be proud that they have been privi leged to lead In the movement to ele vate the great war secretary to the presidency. The platform upon which Nebraska was carried by Increased re publican majorities last year was the first state platform containing an out spoken endorsement of Mr. Taft as the man pre-eminently qualified to succeed President Roosevelt and to continue the distinctive Roosevelt policies. The electlou of the republican candidates upon that platform constituted a presi dential preference vote reflecting the sentiments of the party In Nebraska as much as could any direct primary bal loting at this time, and Its accuracy is being verified now by the over whelming Taft majorities disclosed In the various preliminary caucuses and conventions. Should Mr. Taft be nominated and elected, and all present signs point to his' success. In convention and at the polls, the material assistance given him by Nebraska at the time when this assistance is most helpful, should be, and we are sure will be, remem bered and appreciated. TBB RESULT IN KENTUCKY. ' Kentucky's place in the list of doubt ful states has been confirmed by the action of the legislature in electing former Governor W. O. Bradley, re publican, to the United States senate. The result Is a body blow to the demo cratic state machine, built up by for mer Governor W. C. J. Beckham and operated by him for personal political advancement, In a manner that alien ated much of the democratic following and helped the republicans win their uphill fight last November, resulting in the election of an entire republican state ticket and a healthy majority of the lower branch of the legislature. Political conditions within the dem ocratic party in Kentucky have been so complicated that it were perhaps nsafe to discuss the merits of the controversy between the Beckham crowd and those opposed to him. But nquestlonably, the sentiment of the state Is republican at present. Beck ham would have been practically with out a following in the legislature had not been that many of the hold over members of that body were pledged to his support by a primary election In which he defeated Senator McCreary.' The complete smashing of the Beckham machine in the last state election showed too plainly the popular revolt against misrule In state, affairs ue to his management of the demo cratic ' party. , The four democratic members of the legislature who voted for the republican candidate clearly find warrant for their action In the expressed sentiment of the voters registered at the polls In . November last. The action of the Kentucky legis lature leaves Mr. Bryan In a some what embarrassing position. He vol unteered his services In behalf of Gov ernor Beckham and in an address to the legislature pleaded with the demo cratic members to vote for Beckham because his defeat might cripple the party in national aitairs ana nave a discouraging effect upon democratic prospects In the national campaign His statement now, that he cannot see how the election of Mr. Bradley can have an effect on national politics, falls to . dovetail with his arguments before the legislature. Mr. Bryan doubtless realizes, as well-informed politicians everywhere must, that Ken tucky, like Missouri, has gotten out ot the ranVs of solid democratic states and is debatable ground on the poli tical battlefield. 'I'flERJT AMERICAN MOXE Y BOfS, borne statisticians nave been en gaged in the fascinating, If not profit able, pastime of trying to figure out how much good American money Is taken to Europe by tourists each year, All kinds ot guesses on this subject have been made from time to time but by using the reports from steam ship companies and data furnished by foreigners who have direct dealings with the tourists for estimates, which probably are more accurate than those usually given out, Charles F. Spear writing in the Review of Reviews, places the total annual expenditures of Americans in Europe at something less than 1 50,000,000, including the amount used to purchas pictures and other works of art. Mr. Spear Hgures that the average individual tourist spends about f&OO on his trip abroad and that n automobile trip costs abou 2.S00. It is estimated that 8.000 automobiles last year carried 40,000 Americans over the highways of France alone. The London agent of an American express company says that this est! mate is too high by 950,000. On th other hand, estimates by Germa statisticians place the number of Amer ican tourists in Europe at 300,000 and their expenditures at $225,000,000 annually. He says that American women spend at least $10,000,000 to Paris on gowps and toilet articles. Even this is $5,000,000 below the estimate bv Consul General Mason st Paris, who thinks that Americans pend from $16,000,000 to $20,000,- 000 a year for toilet articles, furs. Jewelry and other luxuries, most of which are bought in Paris. These estimates, however nearly se ll rate they may be, cover only the expenses of the American pleasure seekers abroad. The money drain from this source is probably small! compared with the amounts sent to Europe annually by the thousands of foreign-born who have been working in this country and still continue to contribute to the support of members ot their family In the old country. The figures prove only that the Americans are liberal spenders, too liberal, per haps, for their own good. PUTTING OMAHA IN A FALSE LIGHT. An article by Charles Edward Russell in the March Cosmopolitan entitled, "At the Throat of the Re public," and dealing with alleged corruption of the suffrage of our large cities, puts Omaha in a false light. This article, which Is apparently an attempt to attain to sensationalism by gross exaggeration, gives this exhibit as a tabulation of election frauds: Eat'd. No. In- Con- election Ar- diet- vlc- Clty. crimes, rests.ments.tlons. New York (1W06) W.) l.ooo 75 . Philadelphia USHH)....81,XI0 Omnhi li) S.WO Chicago (li8) 12.000 7"0 21 300 ""70 62 200 158 20 21 35 Uenver (19031 10,000 Incinnatl (1H05) 10,000 Kansas City UWI6-07). 6.000 St. Louis (1906-06)..... 6,000 The round figures In this table on their face indicate that they are noth ing but wild guesses and the flimsy baeis on which they rest is easily gathered from the following further explanations of the items as they relate to Omaha: In Omaha In the last four years there ave been twenty-one arrests for election frauds, but there has never been a con viction In the county In any such case. Six teen of the twenty-one cases were against election officers for Illegal practices and ugKlIng returns (a la New York). Only two of these cases went to trial, both result ing In acquittal. Four cases are still Desig nated as "pending." The rest were dis missed. At the municipal election of May, 1906, It was declared that more than one- fifth of tha registrations were Illegal. Two hundred and seventy-five warrants were Issued for Illegal registrations in one ward. A detective employed Ijy the Civic federa tion showed where 310 men were fraudu lently registered In the Third ward alone. Net result: Twenty one arrests, no con victions. The mere assertion that there were ,000 "election crimes? In a single city election in Omaha is its own refutation. If there were 2,000 election crimes in Omaha at the last' city election, one out of every eight of our citizens would have had to have been accessory to the crime. The advertisement which Omaha gets as a sink-hole of corruption In this widely circulated magazine comes simply from the reckless crimination made by irresponsible parties, which when sifted down, prove In nine cases out of ten to Have not the slightest foundation in fact, except In mistakes of registrars in the spelling ot names or in writing down correct addresses. The failure to convict in the few cases where arrests were actually made ad mittedly resulted from lack of evidence and not from refusal to prosecute. The Bee does not hesitate to assert that the laws under which elections are held In Omaha provide against fraud and corrupt manlpulation-at elections as comprehensively as the laws govern ing the elections in any other city 'in the country, and that on the whole the elections in Omaha are far freer from illegal interference with the voter and more truly register the real wishes of those who participate In them than the elections in any other American city as large or larger than Omaha CAUSES OF STUDENT FAILURE. The problem of eliminating the dis qualified has not been 1 completely solved by Insisting on the exhibition of & college diploma as a pre-requlslte to admission of students to profes sional schools. In Columbia unlver slty, where the hard and fast line has now been drawn for several years re quiring students in the law school to be graduates of some recognized col legiate Institution, the confession is made by the dean of the school in his annual report that failure to graduate is due almost entirely to deficiency of preparation scholarship. Dean Klrchwey quotes figures from his records to show that of twenty-five members of the first year class who dropped out only three had passed all their examinations, and that of the twenty-one members of the second year class who dropped out only six had passed all their examinations "These figures," he says, "are both re assuring and disquieting." He thinks them reatisuring insofar as they show the hold which the school gains on the better class of students and the insig nificant Influence ot other causes, such as competing schools or methods of In structlon, and even the temptation to seek a short cut to professional life, in drawing them away. On the other band, they are "disquieting In that they indicate the continued presence notwithstanding existing requirements for admUslon of a considerable body of men who are wholly unfit for the work and who by their presence lower the tone of the entire student body." It Is fairly to be presumed that thl situation thus disclosed finds a coun terpart in all the professional schools irrespective of whether they have pu their admission requirements up to the top notch. It used to be the habit o every college professor to declare that any boy who graduated from his in stltutlon could take up theology, medi cine or law. or other higher calllns:, with practical assurance of success. Experience proves, however, that all college graduates are not equally fitted to take p specialized work. s Dean Klrchwey advises the adoption of more stringent rules to expel the unfit at an early stage and a system ot tests which should weed out the Indif ferent and Incompetent by the middle ot the first year. This would, doubt less, help some, but the end would be accomplished still faster If the string ent rules were applied before gradua tion from the colleges so as to make a college diploma a better guaranty that Its holder can pursue professional studies without being forced out by failure to pass examinations. PATRIOTISM AND FAIR ThA T. Let us hope that the foreigners who have been battling through the snow drifts In their New York to Paris automobile race will not judge Ameri cans by the samples furnished by the farmers In northern Indiana. Accord ing to the dispatches, the Hooslers along the line have been evincing great interest in the progress of the snow floundering racers and exhibiting what they may think a brave show ot their patriotism by lending every possible assistance to the American autoista and refusing help to the drivers ot the foreign cars. This Is neither the farmer spirit nor the American spirit. It is almost past belief, although the reports all agree, that any American farmer would find any excuse sufficient 'to prevent him going to the assistance of a man lodged In a snow drift and suffering from cold, fatigue and hunger. He might feel that the autolst should have known better than to undertake such a trip at this season, but that should not deter farm from offering the necessary relief. The American love of fair play Is also outraged at this discrimination. If those autolsts ever -get to Paris, every true American will wish that the American drivers should reach there ahead of the procession, but none will desire such a victory won by un fair tactics. If the best driver and the best car cannot win on their merils, let them lose gamely. COIN-FLIPPING VERDICTS. Lawyers and litigants alike will Join In commendation of a New York judge who recently imposed a fine of 50 each npon the members of a jury who had decided a damage suit by flipping a coin. Unable to reach a verdict, one ot the Jurors suggested, 'Why not flip a coin to see who wins," The proposition was accepted and Judgment given In favor ot the de fendant. The Judge got wind of the extraordi nary proceeding and took a hand in the affair on his own account. In a lecture, in which he declared that the disrepute into which the Jury system of America had fallen in the last few year 8 was due largely to such acts as that of the Jury in the case before him, he set the finding aside, mulcted each of the Jurors $50 for contempt , and disqualified them for further service In the court for the term for which they were called. The surprising feature of the situa tion Is that twelve men, qualified In even a mild degree for jury service, should agree to such, a reprehensible method of deciding a case, carrying as it did a reflection upon their Intelli gence and their integrity. The Judge's rebuke of their delinquency was well merited. PROTECTION FOR WOMEN. Enthusiastic advocates of equal suf frage may refuse 'to accept the decla ration of the United States supreme court that women are not as physically capable as men ot performing labor, but the general public will accept it as a notable advance in the interpre tation of law and a recognition by the highest court that the interest of the human race Is above that of the Indi vidual. Incidentally, It places a new interpretation upon the right ot free contract. ' The case supporting this decision was brought by a Portland, Ore., laun dryman to test the validity of a state law forbidding the employment of women In any mechanical establish ment, factory or laundry more than ten hours a day. The law was at tacked as an arbitrary interference with the right ot the woman worker to contract freely to sell her labor. The much-abused fourteenth amend ment to the federal constitution, guar antying personal liberty, was urged against the validity ot the Oregon law. In defense of the law it was argued that this liberty was Bubject to such reasonable restraint as the state might determine necessary to protect health, morals, safety and the general wel fare. Mr. Justice Brewer, in upholding the Oregon law, declares that the state Is justified In exercising paternal care for the health and welfare of women workers. On that point he says: Differentiated by these matters from the ether sex, shs Is probably placed in a class by herself, and legislation designed for her protection may be sustained, even when like legislation Is not necessary for men and could not be sustained. It Is impossi ble to close one's eyes to the fact that she still looks to ber brother and depends upon lilm. Even though all restrictions on po lltlcal, personal and contractual rights were taken away, and she stood, so far as stat utes are concerned, upon absolutely equal plane with him, it weuld still be true that she Is so constituted that she will rest upon and look to Mm for protection; that her physical structure and a proper discharge ot her maternal functions having In view not merely ber own health, but the Well being of the race Justify legislation to protect her from the greed as well as the passion of man. The decision practically affirms the constitutionality of all legally passed state laws limiting the hours of labor of women. Such laws have been en acted In Nebraska, Washington, Mas sachusetts, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York. It will be notrbed that the wording of Mr, Justice Brewer's opin ion is very cautious In explaining that it does not necessarily follow that a law limiting the hours ot labor ot men would be sustained by the court. It leaves the Inference, however, that the legislature may go far In the ex ercise of police power for the general welfare. The fact that Mr. Justice Brewer dissented from the opinion of the supreme court, which sustained the Utah statute forbidding the em ployment of men for tnore than eight hours in mines, leaves the conclusion that, In his opinion, the states may In sist upon regulations for the protec tion of women even when similar laws applied to men could not be sustained. The democratic World-Herald in sists that It is not "undemocratic" to Ignore the primary electlou feature of the democratic state convention call, because all the democrats in Nebraska are for Bryan anyway. According to this democratic authority, it is a crim inal offense to select convention dele gates without a primary vote only when It Is done by republicans. It Is announced that William C. Conrad, a Montana millionaire, has gone to New York to work up support of his candidacy for the vice presiden tial nomination at Denver. We do not know Conrad, but he Is not much ot a politician or he would go, direct to Mr. Bryan with that proposition in stead of wasting time on a trip to New York. A New York bank has declared an extra dividend of 100 per cent on Its capital stock of $10,000,000. It Is simply fearful to think how the presi dent's policies have Injured the busi ness interests of the country. San Francisco is threatened with quarantine on account of the bubonic plague. Fire, earthquake, disease, rats and graft have all had turns In attacking San Francisco. The great est of these afflictions was graft. The outcome of the Kentucky sena torial deadlock makes it a cinch that Bryan will have a plank In his. plat form again demanding the election of United States senators by direct popu lar vote. Peace at Any Price. Philadelphia Press. The fact that South Iakota has taken in 15,000,000 from the divorce business In ten years shows that money is no object when people feel that they must break loose. Costs Jn the Same. Chicago Tribune. A new teiror has been discovered. It Is a disease that attacks only a portion qf the verlform appendix. .

Mr. Sullivan of Illinois predicts that Mr. Bryan will get the nomination by default. After that Mr, Bryan's anxiety will be te make, a better showing than Parker, but the party may decide to let the election also go as an empty ceremony. Leslie M. Located. St. Louis Republic. The anybody-to-beat Taft dinner reported from New York has no visible connection with the recent return to headquarters of the Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, but It rises con solingly above the horizon from the present standpoint he Is compelled to occupy as the nation's Only favorite son without a favorite state. It Happened In Kansas City. New York Evening Post. In Kansas City the police even arrest on Sunday musicians who give concerts. But," says the marshal to the grand Jury, "several persons who participated In Philharmonic Orchestra's concert this week got away. We were unable to catch Beethoven, Rossini, Mendelssohn, Chopin and R. Wagner, whose names appeared upon the program. I would suggest that warrants be issued for them." Maty ot the Party. Philadelphia Public ledger. Ths republican party must gather Itself together to marshal the forces of re. sponslblllty. It Is a patriotic as well as party duty to defeat Bryan, and the first step is to nominate the man whd will be elected. The party will need Its best man, the man who possesses availability In the highest sense of the word. A weak candi date, chosen by a dull process of exhaus tion after bitter dissensions shall have raged for mpnths, would be beaten. A "safe and sane" party slate Is the condl tlon of success, and it Is none too soon for a Junction of all the leaders on that object. PERSON A L NOTES.
