ORG A HIZATIOH.
Nebraska democratic organs are en
titled to all the solace they can get out
of the fact that the republicans are
already setting about the work of com
pleting and improving their party or
ganization with a. view to the coming
presidential campaign. Organization
counts In political battles, as in mili
tary battles, and the superior organ
ization of the republicans in Nebraska
as contrasted with that of the demo
crats is to be credited in large part for
the steadily growing republican ma
jorities. As long as the republicans
keep as far ahead of the democrats in
the matter of organization as they are
now there will be no question about
Nebraska's position in the republican
column.
If there is anything unusual about
the action of the republican state man
agement In pressing at this time for
organization work it Is due solely to the
fact that the new primary law comes
n direct conflict with all previous
precedent and practice. In the presi
dential campaign four years ago the
republican state convention was held
in May and the state ticket and the
state committee made up at that time,
putting everything in readiness to do
business as soon as the national ticket
should have been nominated. Under
the Nebraska primary law It is Impos
sible now to have the state ticket nom
inated or the new state committee
commissioned before the end of Sep
tember, and It would plainly be the
height of folly for any political party
to sit back and do nothing in a presi
dential campaign until the last five
weeks before election. The present
action of the state committee with
reference to perfecting organization Is,
therefore, a sign only that the present
republican state chairman and his as-
societies are alert and active, and deter
mined not to overlook any of the en
Bentlals to continued republican suc
cess. UK. HOBSOIfS CANDIDACY.
The announcement from Alabama
that Congressman Richmond Pearson
Hobson Is planning to be the demo
cratic nominee for the presidency In
1912 is fraught with more significance
to the American people than might
appear at first flush. Politically, the
disclosure of Mr. Hobson's plans may
not b" much of a disturbing factor in
the coming campaign, but many peace-
loving citizens will sleep easier on the
strength of the Hobson assurance that
the nation will still be In existence as
an independent country in 1912, In
stead of being a Japanese province like
Corea. '
. Mr. Hobson has made no explana
tion of his reasons for believing the
country will be all right in 1912, and
It 'will be necessary gratefully to ac
cept his assurance . without -.asking
questions. Since he took the oath of
office as a member of congress he has
been working himself into a perspira
tion in an effort to arouse the Amer
ican people to a realization of their
danger from -a foreign foe. He has
located Japanese spies in all the forti
fications and in roost of the homes of
the land. He has proved the ineffi
ciency of the American navy and
taught timid folk to shudder at his
picture of the ease with which the
Japs might swoop down on us and
take us into bondage. Now his calm
announcement that he will be In the
presidential race In 1912 comes as an
assurance that in some way the cal
amity has been averted and national
existence has been extended for at
least four more' years. Gratitude
alone should lend considerable sup
port to the Hobson 1918 presidential
boom,
UW VNRVLY CASTRO.
President Castro of Venezuela la ap
parently determined to force .the
United States to adopt some drastic
method of forcing a settlement of the
differences between the two countries.
While Secretary Root and the senate
committee on foreign relations have
been trying to devise some plan of se
curing an amicable adjustment of the
questions at Usue, Castro Is climbing
new heights of absurdity by defying
Uncle Sam to do his worst and prom
ising him a terrific licking should he
dare interfere with the plans of Ven
ezuela's ruler. In addition to openly
refusing to arbitrate any claim pend
ing against his government In favor
of Americans Castro has decided to
make a personal warfare on tbe presi
dent. His official organ at Caracas
recently contained a lengthy editorial
denouncing president Roosevelt, from
which this excerpt Is quoted:
Whence, then, can originate the idea of
searching for alight Incidents to create
conflict with VanesuelaT From the chief
of this legation who la called the secretary
of atata In Washington and who la turn
cannot but b under the direct Influence of
Prealdant Roosevelt T If th aspiration of
Ilooaevclt. president of the United State,
aglt the tradition which tmpoaa th
union of tha American people among them
selves ha a a basia tha abdication of the
territorial sovereignty of the people or
tha nullity of their code, just because of
tha pretension of a few cltlsen who do not
and cannot reprent tha will of tha Amer
ican people, It I then high tlm that this
horrible truth be known ard that tha peo
ple of thejjew world know whether In the
government of th United States they have
a friend or a capriclou dictator.
Question of the friendship of the
United States for Venezuela comes in
rather poor taste from Castro, who
must remember the part thle country
took In saving Venezuela from a
richly-deserved trouncing by Great
Britain In President Cleveland's ad
ministration. Since that time Uncle
Sam has acted as a sort of an Interna
tional policeman for the Latin-American
countries and saved more than
one of them from punishment by for
eiga nations. All of this aside, how
ever, the record Is conclusive that
Americans hsve grievances against the
Castro government and It is our duty
to see to it that they receive protec
tion ami reparation.
These rases have nothing to do with
the asphalt controversy. The public
sentiment is rather pronounced in fa
vor of letting the Asphalt trust stew
In its own pitch. But this should not
prevent Castro from being brought to
time for the high-handed manner In
which he has deprived other Amer
icans of their property and has per
sistently refused to submit to arbitra
tion, as he waa morally bound to do in
accordance with former agreements
between Venezuela and the United
States. The pending proposition in
the senate to give the president full
authority to deal with Castro offers
the most promising way out.
EXTRA SESSION IN NEW YOHK.
Governor Hughes of New York has
called an extra session of the law
makers, to begin on May 11, to con
sider measures previously recom
mended upon which action was re
jected or deferred. While the gov
ernors proclamation gives no Intima
tion of the purpose, It is well under
stood that he proposes to urge again
the anti-race track betting bills, the
primary law and the bill enlarging
the powers of the public utility com
missions to include telegraph and tel
ephone companies, ferries and stage
lines.
The ground of battle between the
governor and the legislature is clearly
marked out. Republicans and demo
crats alike have united in opposition
to several of the measures he has
recommended and It Is claimed that
this opposition will be as. determined
at the coming extra session as at the
regular session Just adjourned. The
race track bill was defeated in the
senate by a tie vote and, while the
measure would probably pass If con
sldered. on Its merits, it has been
linked with other Interests and noth
ing In ' the conditions indicates the
prospect of a changed vote on it at
the extra session.
Perhaps the real fight hinges on
the opposition to the governor's plan
to extend the power of the utilities
commissions to the telegraph, tele
phone, ferry and stage companies.
The governor Is employing his charac
teristic methods to overcome the op
position, Just as he forced the original
utilities bills .through without giving
heed to the advice of thj party lead
ers, and apparently without thought
of the" effect upon his own political
prospects. , . ;
The call for the special session to
consider measures which the lecisla
ture has refused to adopt has already
aroused renewed opposition -among
the politicians. It has resulted In de
priving the Hughes presidential boom
of enthusiastic home support and has
aroused antagonism to suggestions for
his renomlnatlon for a second term
as governor. It Is quite possible, If
not probable, that the opposition of
the legislature may force hlrn to seek
an endorsement of bis record by go
ing before the people for another term
In the executive chair at Albany.
TERMINAL TAXATION SPREADIN G.
The reason why the railroads were
so uncompromising in their fight
against the terminal tax law, enacted
by the last Nebraska legislature, is
now developing. Much as terminal
taxation means for Nebraska, where
the railroads had been escaping prac
tically all the burdens of local govern
ment, it means comparatively little as
against Its adoption in all the states In
which the railroads do business.
At the time the contest was on here
The Bee emphasised this phase of it
and ventured a prediction which is al
ready beginning to come true. A
movement for terminal taxation in
Iowa has Just been started by the Com
mercial club of Council Bluffs, which
is endeavoring to enlist the support of
all tb thriving towns and growing
cities in the Hawkeye state. The cir
cular letter stdt ouL by the Council
Bluffs people might tfe easily mistaken
for one of the appeals used here In
Nebraska during the progress of our
five years' fight for terminal taxation,
which finally culminated successfully
a little over a year ago.
When Iowa people want pointers on
the terminal taxation proposition Ne
braska will be the place they will come
to.
Dakota's direct primary law ". has
successfully run the gauntlet of the
courts with the exception of a few
minor provisions. Here In Nebraska
we are still waiting for that oft
promised attack upon our primary
law by former United States Senator
Allen. But perhaps tbe former popu
list senator has reconsidered.
The Wisconsin courts have held that
a dealer must refund the money for a
gun when a man buys It with tbe In
tention of committing suicide and it
falls to do the work. While the de
cision may be good law, it Is hardly
complimentary to the. man who
wanted to kill himself.
Today is registration day for
revision of the lists of voters entitled

that you are properly registered from

of $25,000 a year to act as attorney
for a corporation. Mr. Bryan will ac

from his accustomed pastime of run
ning for the presidency.
Mr. Bryan says the only hope for a

OTIIEIt LANDS THA3I OCRS.
The death of Sir Henry Camptjell Ban
nerman, late premier of Orent Britain, I
generally ascribed to physical breakdown
due to over work. Coming to the mnet re
sponxlb office of the British empire at
the age of 70, Rlr Henry assumed duties
and responsibilities taxing to the utmost
his physkal and mental powers. The cares
of state alone would suffice for a strong
man, but In addition he had the reanonsl
bllitle of political leadership, with all the
familiar demands on his time. A recently
published diary of his varied, activities for
even days showed an average of eventeen
hours of work a day, leaving seven want
hour a day for rest and recuperation.
Only a man possessed of an Iron constitu
tion could stand uch a strain at thro
score and ten. Oiadstona was U when he
became premier for the last time In Wl
but he was an extraordinary man, men
tally and physically, thoroughly versed In
statecraft and familiar with the duties of
tha office. Gladstone gained experience a
premier In hi rrlme. He had won fume
long before 70. The late premier's oppor
tunity for distinction found him In the
winter of life, when the physical man re
bels against the strenuous, life. Sir Henry
was so constituted tempermantally that he
would not limit the demands upon his time.
Party duties became more onerous than
pnblio duties and the strain proved too
great for hla strength. Popular leadership
carrle with It the well meant, but re
morseless, exactions of the people, and Blr
Henry's death is readily traceable to that
cause.
'
Emp,?ror William of Germany Is In posi
tion to appreciate the forehanded wisdom
of the American congress In choosing for
an Advance of salaries a seas.-m of the
greatest prosperity. The emperor some
time ago suggested to those who control
the purse strings that an Increase of his
stipend would greatly Increase the com
fort of his majesty and chase the wolf from
tho palace door The request was given
due consideration, but failed to create en
thusiasm. Indeed, the more consideration
wa prolonged the greater became the num
ber of knockers. Thes'o disagreeable per
sons pointed out that the hurtpet for the
navy was growing at an amnxing rate and
military expenses were equally corpulent.
At the same time public revenues were
decreasing, Increased taxation Imperative
and prosperity afflfcted with the tired
feeling. "If we Increase the emreror' sal
ary," remarked an economical statesman,
"we must do Justice to all officers of the
government from the highest to the lowest.
Where will the money oome from?" The
question wa a poser. Quietly, but firmly,
the emperor wa Informed that owing to
the prevailing hard times and the pinched
condition of the public revenues he would
be obliged to struggle along on hla present
salary of H.STS.a,';;. with fifty-two castles
and country homes thrown In.
The publio roads of France, projecled
and constructed by the firt Napoleon f?r
military purpose, under the development
of auton.io'blle transit have become nearly
a great a menace to puhllc peaoe a the
military ambitions of the Corsican. Splen
didly built and sept In flrat-class condi
tion, they tempt motorist to hurst of
peed rivaling railroad trains. The conse
quence, la a succession of accidents to the
hot pacers and Innumerable Injuries, often
times death, to less strenuous persona.
Severe penalties are Imposed on reckless
motorists and adequate damages exacted
for tha Injured persons, but the law Is
not as wlft a the pace of the motorists,
and many of them, having ruptured tha
law and ditched a alow-mavlng native,
put on more speed and dash over the bor
der Into Bolgium, Germany, Switzerland
or Italy. 'An rffort is now being mada,
with every prospect of ucce, to enact
uniform law which will reach beyond stats
boundaries and corral the runaway motor
ist. An accident of any kind constitutes
one offense and running away a separate
offense. Should each state agree to this
plan and honor requisitions for the run
aways, motor racer will experlenc a
series of thrill a exciting as those they
give their victim.
"
Frequent mention Is marie In dispatches
from the orient ' on an understanding be
tween Ruxsla and Japan In regard to the
control of Manchuria by China. That an
understanding exists between thea power
recently at war ia not improbable. Colar
I given the assumption by a notably con
ciliatory speech delivered In the Russian
Duma by M. Isvolsky, minister of foreign
affairs. The occasion wa a proposal to
raise the Rulan legation at Tokio to the
rank of an embassy. The minister argued
that Russia had not been hurt very badly
In ths war. Considering the many Im
portant questions arising for settlement
from th Portsmouth treaty, It wa neces
sary to recast Russia's relations with
Japan. That was what he had in view.
There were many examples In history of
peoples who' had learned to respect each
other after a war and had found scope for
good and iincere relations and for work In
common In tne spread of civilization. That,
however, was only possible when neither
ef the two parties uffered loss In Its his
torical patrimony, which its ancestors had
won through their own sacrifices, and aa
the natural consequenee of national devel
opment. However distressing might bo tho
sacrifices made In the Portsmouth treaty,
It must (till bo acknowledged thnt Russia,
hud through the war with Jaran lost noth
ing of It historical inheritance, but only
what not long ago belonged to Japan, and
geosraphlcally and economically gravitated
towards that power, like South Sakhalin,
or else the result of enterprise ml con
sonant with Russia' actual strength, like
the enterprise In South Manchuria or the
Kwong Tung penireula. The heroism of
Russian cldlcr still remulned Intact, tho
unity of riuiiBla was (UU unimpaired
Therefor, there was really ' nothipg to
prevent Huia from entertaining the moat
friendly feelings for Japan.

THE SMOKERS' SAD LOT.
Chicago Post.
The man who smokes 10-crnt cigars
Or two-fern, stogies, or a pipe,
Who puffs inside the smoking cars
The smokestack' human prototype.
(Perhaps that simile' not right,
Eut "pipe" ha none too many rhymes)-
I apt to hear this day or nlsht
Till through his memory It chimes:
"You smoke too much."
If he complains about his health
And says that his digestion's bad.
They drop tho hint on him by stealth
And for the opening re glad.
If he observes that time are hard
And that he cannot save enoush,
With this remark they'll Interlard
His constant rhythmic draw and puff:,
"You smoke too much."
It gets so when he mlsse tralns.V
Or buys 8 suit that doesn't fit.
Or when his taste for drama wanes.
Or when he rhows n caustic wit,
Or when h! hair 1 falling out,
Or when his teeth begin to ache,
Some critic then Is sure to shout
And this remark Is whet he'll make:
"You smoke too much."
No matter what the poor man does.
No matter whnt he doesn't do,
No matter what the poor man was,
Nor what hard luck he struggles through J
If ho should have ingrowing nails.
Or If his eyes are getting weak,
Or If his voice In singing falls,
Somebody els is euro to speak:
VYou smoke too much."
