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:

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

It Is announced that William C.
Conrad, a Montana millionaire, has

to Mr. Bryan with that proposition in
stead of wasting time on a trip to New
York.

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.

self he Is anxious for some one to call him
a liar.
He who believes nothing until he .under

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT
Minneapolis Journal: The Unitarian and
Unlversallst churches at New London,
Conn., have merged, and the members arc
living together in one fold In peace and
great good will. There seems to be little
reason why they shouldn't be together.
The Unitarian Is only a Unlversallst who
has taken a post-graduate course. '
Kansas City Star: A Kansas man has
brought suit against the pastor of a church
at Paola because the parson refused to ad
mit him as a member of his flock. Here Is
an object lesson for religious workers every
where. If men can get Into the church by
legal proceedings, why not resort to the
Injunction and the mandamus to lure the
unregenerated from their wayward paths?
Louisville Courier-Journal: A New York
minister says kissing Is not only Immoral,
but also Injurious to the health. A Louis
ville minister says there are health germs
as well as disease germs. While the earn
est collector of health germs may eventu
ally bump Into a fatal microbe he has equal
chances with the abstainer, and a much
more colorful existence while It lasts.
Baltimore News: The death of Bishop
Henry Yates Sattertoe will be heard of
with deep regret, not only In the Episcopal
church, of which he was a leading digni
tary, but by a far wider circle of men
prominent in public affairs, who learned to
know him well in the social, charitable and
offlcal life of Washington, where his Intel
lectual qualities were vaiuea ana nis in
fluence strong. He was selected to be the
first bishop of Washington when that dio
cese was carved1 out of the historic old one
of Maryland, and it was recognised at the
time of his elevation that his ehurch had
need of an able and tactful represenative In
the national center. . Such a man Dr. Sat
terlee had proved himself In the twelve
years of his administration.
