', I With the certainty that Mr. Tatt wlll.be the republican nominee at Chicago and Mr. Bryan the choice of his party at Denver, some share of the political attention will be directed to William Randolph Hearst and the part he Is to play tn the national campaign.

The tx- gree of accuracy until his plan, for bis convention are more fully re: vcaled. To date Mr. Hearst has been some what retlcpnt concerning the lnde- made a few things plain. He ha. an nounced that the party will not sup port Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan and will . f itu nnv nther nolitlcal or- not luse Wltn any oiner political or ganlzatlon. but will have a candidate . of Its OW and make Its own fight In ,t8 own way- The Question appears to be whether the Independence league, wn,cn ha8 na branches In a number of states and made fights on Issues that were purely local, can bo welded !! aeseo ,nt0 a natlonal organization with na 14.!!!!'.'.!!! a!a6Q I tlonal control in view. Some domlnat- jpg issue would naturally be required " 86.'76olto orm tne Da8's 'or 8ucn action. Mr. Hearst has not, as yet, announced such an Issue, although he ha shown some . . . . ,.., UIBrUDlLlVFU IU All CL IV U ll.lOUU TfolCn".ja improvement a paramdunt plank In his national platform. This .would hardly serve to disrupt either of the older organizations, as both the republican and democratic conventions doubtless will declare in favor of this policy. In a recent issue of his New York American Mr. Hearst described the national Independence party as "a mountain rising out of the sea of po litical uncertainty. Its aim is just government, not more government. In dividual liberty and business prosper lty are alike Jeopardized by unneces sary interference." All of which sounds well enough, without meaning anything in particular. Mr. Hearst, both as a member of congress and in his editorial capacity, has been one of the most persistent advocate, of more government and ha. offered bills and plans for laws regulating almost every. thing under the sun. His recent con- version to extreme conservatism is un explained Whatever the Hearst plans may be, the result ot his participation in the national campaign with an indenendent tlcket Bh0uld not be underestimated. from. the ranks of both the: old partle, it must be remembered that he 'has a following in New. York.'in Massachu setts and in California that is sufficient to cause extreme worry to other poli ticians.

OLD AGE VKtiSlONS' Premier Asqulth of Great Britain has made a strong bid for political support for the liberal party, which ha. been showing .trong signs of los- jnft lu hoid on tne British voters, hv I W" k"vWHD.vJauvu V.

The Asqulth plan provides that all person, who shall have reached the rtt 70 VMra wKVinnr Kar.mlna. i . - 1 criminals, lunatics . or paupers .and I without having accumulated sufficient property to produce' an Income- of $3.50 a week, shall be entitled to re- ceive out of th national treasury a weeny payment or I1.Z5. which U to he Increased to $1.80 In case of mar ried couples.

Th Asqaiia la omitted thla UaUf vd .,wtt vf dllevt aytlt by the laborltes, whom the liberals are attempting to win over, that they would reject any plan which included contribution from the prospective pen sioner. The fiscal feature of the pension plan is certain to attract much atten tion. Premier Asqulth estimates that It will cost the British government about $30,000,000 a year to carry the scheme into effect. The history of pension legislation throughout the world, however, makes it safe to pre dict that Mr. Asquith's estimate is too low by 50 per cent at least. This pension fund, whether It be $30, 000,- 000 or $50,000,000, must be raised by taxation, and the tax burden in Great Britain is already so heavy that the people are groaning under it. The radicals and laborites, however, in- souclantly announce that the finding of the money for these pensions is the government's concern and that their votes will be against any party that does not favor the scheme. Under the circumstances, Premier Asqulth has probably gained a new lease of life for his party by advocating his pen sion plan, and time alone will reveal the price that will have to be paid for it OMAHA TUB MARKET TOWS. Certain signs point most positively to the growth of Omaha in Importance as a primary market for all manner of farm products. It is not so very long since the stock yards at South Omaha were fighting for the right to exist. Rival markets, long established, re sented the intrusion of the new mar ket and used all their power to crush it out The natural advantages of Its location, however, were sufficiently great to insure its permanency and now the Omaha stock market takes front rank in the world. The Omaha grain market is going through much the same experience, but is surely being established on a firm footing. As the packing indus try developed with the growth of the live stock market, so will the milling Industry grow with the development of the grain market. Nebraska grain Is sure to be ground into flour by Ne braska mills, just as Nebraska cattle, hogs and sheep are reduced to dressed meats on Nebraska boII. During the last decade the develop ment of the dairy industry ot the state has been marvellous. Farmers have been Interested to their advantage by the butter-makers, until now Nebraska butter Is one ot the most valuable of the state's productions. The Omaha, Lincoln and other creameries are turn' lng out annually ; many millions of pounds of the very highest grade of butter. At the present time the price of this butter is fixed by a market whose entire bulk of the commodity amounts to less than the output of a single Nebraska creamery.' That this state of affairs, absurd on its face, cannot long exist is apparent to all and the Omaha butter market Is Just as sure to take its place among the mar kets of the world as was the live stock market and the grain market The latest addition to the Omaha markets is the wool. Western states have for many years produced the bulk of the wool ot the United States and the sheep Industry seems at present to be barely emerging from its Infancy. More stock raisers each year are be coming interested in sheep and the an nual clip of wool has increased regu larly by many millions pi pounds. This wool Is at present marketed entirely on the Atlantic seaboard and the west ern flockmasters are left at the mercy of the buyers from Boston and Phlla delphla. Under the proposed plan Omaha will offer storage facilities to these men at such rates as will permit them to hold their wool and will re quire that the eastern buyers come west to secure the material thoy need Right at the outset this will remedy one of the chief disadvantages the wool growers have suffered. It will no longer be possible for one man to come west and make a single offer for the clip and give the grower the option of taking it or leaving it. If the Omaha wool market means nothing else, it means competition tor the western wool. It is not unreasonable to expect that woolen mills will follow the wool mar ket Just as packing houses have fol lowed the stock market, flouring mills the grain market and creameries have come before the butter market Omaha's importance as a market town was never more definite than it is a present The movement to abolish pension bureaus In the states and transact the business of these agencies at Washing ton has arousod determined opposition from the congressmen of the eighteen states in whhh pension bureaus are lo cated. , Th necessity for th mainte nance ot this bureau system no longer exists, but each agency has a well paid head, a clerical force and a board o vxamlners, so It wb ill b vxtreiuely dlt Bcult to convince con return en that there la need for retrenchment in ex tMBdllurea aluna that liu.

Th aK- slty for Jctfig me a f sound Jk4 auat aa4 au.ie n.tiuuu a sors was never more empnaiicauy shown than now. It was thought that the Nebraska Inws had received suffi cient interpretation to make their ap plication clear, but the returns made by the local assessors show that many men have many minds. American M.'i ,ter Russell Is said to be offended because no Venezuelan official thought It worth while to say goodbye to him when he started for the United States on a leave of ab sence. Most Americans would look upon this oversight of Castro', offi cials as a compliment. It Is well for the people of Omaha that they do not swear by the beard of anybody, for if they did In the case of Lincoln they would be compelled each time to accompany their asseveration with an explanation as to which epoch was referred to. The New York World is being ooded with congratulations upon Its celebration of Its twenty-fifth anniver sary under Mr. Pulitzer's management, but Mr. Bryan's name does not appear in the list of those sending congratu latory messages. The energetic way in which the con ference of governors has taken hold of the question presented for considera tion promises a definite outcome. The men concerned know what is needed and will not hesitate to recommend It Having destroyed the visible supply of tobacco In Kentucky, the "Night Riders;' are now operating in Indiana and Ohio.

Up In Newport, R. I., Is an Institution known aa the Navsl War College a place where navy officers are sent to tak a post-graduate course In strategy, tactics, and other subjects allied with their mtll- snt profession. As a rule, says th New Tork Times, It Is only the officers of the higher grade who are detailed for this course of Instruction at the War college, those of th rank of commander or of tha grades that are above that rank. Natur ally tha officer srlectod for president of the college must ba one of superior attain ments. For three years B perry waa presi dent of the college. From that duty he was detached last summer and sent to The ague as America's naval representative st the peace conference. When the con ference ended he waa ordered home and to th command of the fourth division of the Atlantic fleet, his flagahlp the Alabama. The officers of the navy well know each other. One of these, a classmate of the rear admiral, who is anon to assume com mand of the fleet, pays him this trlbuta: 'Bperry," he ssld. "missed the glory of the Spanish-Amerlcsn war, but he did not miss the hard work of It. Aa ordnance officer of the New Tork navy yard he had his full share of that. To the ordnanra of. fleer fall all the details of fitting out the vessels with their entire artillery outfits. There was scarcely a day for more than six months then that at least a dosen of the purchased yachts were not at the docks to be armed and started off In a hurry, but not a mistake must be made. This only In addition to the repairs and equipment of the main fleet. I ssw "perry at his work often In those dava. and It was a Joy to the spirit to see the machine work. There waa a tangle In the thread every few minutes, but It came straight In moment and without a stop In tha regular motion of the shuttle. Ite Is going to handle the fleet of bat tleships In exactly the same way. It Is not merely a matter of navigating soma twenty odd vessels in company. There Is the com fort, the well-being, the training, and the steady enthusiasm of U.ooo persons to he maintained. It takes a steady hand at the wheel snd tolid sens unaffected by what la called the exalted position to carry the cruise to a successful finish." Born In New Tork. Bperry entered th Naval academy In 1862. Entering the acad emy as the youngest of his clans, he waa graduated almost at th head of It This explains why ha will still be in service after all the rest of his classmates have been retired. Hla youth and the high place he took In graduating prepared him to become a rear admiral early and to stay late. Among his brother officers Bperry Is de acriueu as levei-neaaea, as being a thoughtful, brainy officer, who can be de pended upon to meet any emergency. A recognized authority on tactics, he Is re puted to be on of the most brilliant strate gists In the service. He Is also an authority on international law and Its usages and la full of tact and resource. When to all of this Is added a high professional compe tence one can understand why he Is re garded as on of the most able and ac complished officers In tha service. Sperry's first sea service waa on board the old. corvette Sacramento.. As a mid shlpman bo was serving on that vessel wnen on a siormy nignt ana during a thick fog the vessel lost Its bearings and drove on a reef off th coast ot Hindustan, Becoming- a total loss. me crew made an effort to reach the shore by the use of rafu. pne ot these was swept out to sea by a current and Its twenty-nine occupants might have perished had it not been for a timely rescue which was effected by a passing steamship, which sighted tha raft and took off the men. Bperry, along with the rest of the crew. reached the land and after a succession of privation and danger the party made Ita way to Madraa and waa there put on board a chartered steamship and brought home. The rest of hla forty-six years of active service were spent In the routine of navy life, a tour of sea duty alternating with a tour of duty on shore, three years at sea and then three years aa Instructor at tha Naval academy, another three years afloat and then throe years aa Inspector of ordnance, and so on up to the time of his presidency of the Naval War college. But not until he hoists his pennant aa commander-in-chief of the great Atlantis fleet will he have emerged from the ob scurity of every-day work well done. PERSONAL, NOTKS.
