there are other reason
MR. HtABHTS ATT1TC K.
The chaff of compliment tossed by
the editor of tho Commoner has failed
to lure William Randolph Hearst, the
head of the national independence
party and a former active force in the
democratic party in several states. In
1S96 ana In 1900 Mr. Hearst's news
paper chain, extending from Boston to
San Francisco, fought Mr. Bryan's bat
tles and Mr. Hearst personally made
liberal contributions to the democratic
campaign fund. In the 1904 conven
tion Hearst "was a candidate for the
nomination and failed to get it. While
Mr. Bryan fought Parker for the nomi
nation he made no effort to help
Hearst, who had so persistently and
consistently helped Bryan In the
former fights. Than Mr. Hearst went
into the political field on a new line
and organised a series or independence
leagues throughout the country and
has now merged them Into a national
organisation.
As candidate for mayor of New
York City and for governor of the
state Hearst has demonstrated his
ability to control enough democratic
votes to make the election of any
other democrat out of the question.
Mr. Bryan appreciates this fact and
haa bee making all kinds of friendly
overtures for the purpose" of securing
Hearst's support. The overtures have
been spurned in no uncertain words.
Replying to some of the Commoner's
words of wheedling adulation Mr.
Hearst'B New York American says;
W are bound to add. with regret, that
we have lost confidence also In William J.
Bryan, who by w.ell- manipulated bosgship
has compelled this nomination.
No reliance can be placed on the demo
cratic platform or on Bryan's declarations.
The democratic platform declares for one
set of principles at one election, and for an
entirely different set at the next election,
while Bryan is apparently without perma
nent principle or sincere conviction, or even
honest attitude.
A note Is a promise to pay. ' It Is valuable
according to who makes It, and who In
dorses It. A platform Is a promise to per
form, and a platform ninde by the demo
cratic party and Indorsed by Mr. Bryan Is
not' worth the paper. It Is written on.
That rebuke would have been suffi
cient to satisfy the average man, but
Mr. Bryan, evidently appreciating the
desperateness of tha situation, ipade
another effort to aecure some endorse
ment from Hearst. He induced Samuel
Oompers to cable Mr. Hearst at Paris
urging him to endorse the democratic
platform and not to run a third ticket,
as it would elect Mr. Taft. The cabled
reply from Hearst Is explicit, emphatic
and leaves no question of his positive
opposition to Bryan and Bryanlsm. He
cabled:
I do not think the path of patriotism lies
In supporting a discredited and decadent
old party, which has neither .conscientious
convictions nor honest Intentions, nor en
dorsing chameleon candldatea who change
the color of their political opinion with
everv varvlna hue of opportunism. I do
not think the best benefit of laboring men
lies in supporting that old party because
of a Sop of false promise, when the per
formance of that parly while in power did
more to Injure lataor than oil the injunc
tions ever Issued before or since. I have
lost faith In the empty professions of an
unregenerate democracy. I have lost ctnfr
dence In the ability, in the sincerity and
even In the integrity of its leaders.
Mr. Hearst has a pretty long
memory for slights and grudges, and
he has a big supply of ammunition to
use against hU enemies. His determi
nation to place an independent party
ticket in the field ends any prospect
that Mr. Bryan might otherwise have
had of success In New ,York, New
Jersey pr Rhode Island.
THE BLACKLISTED HV8BAND.
Politics apparently makes stranger
bedfellows In Kansas than anywhere
else under the sun, as Illustrated by
a peculiar condition of affairs reported
from William Allen White's town of
Emporia. Kansans have always taken
their politics seriously, but the climax
of partisanship has been reached in
the case of Mrs. Mary McCreary Park
man, the editor of the Emporia Times,
and her husband, Harrison Parkman,
the county surveyor of Lyon county
Mr. Parkman is a republican and Is a
candidate for re-election, and Mrs,
Parkman is a democrat and a candi
date for county buperlntendent or
schools. Outside of office hours and
between campaigns Mr. and Mrs. Park-
man appear to lead the lives of ordl
narily contented folks, agreeing pretty
well on religious, social and business
questions, but when the nominations
have been made and the keynote Is
sounded they go at It like brother
lawyers employed on opposing sides of
a case.
Mr. Parkman labors under a hand!
cap. It is one or tne rum oi iuc
Times that when It Is necessary to
refer to the editor's husband In print
he Is simply "the county surveyor,
his name never being mentioned. This
policy, of blacklisting her husband has
caused some commn at In the town ana
Mrs. Parkman has written an editorial
giving her side of the case. She
frankly states that she believes she
has the right to do as she pleases with
her newspaper and that If she puts up
with her husband morning, noon and
night she should not have to be putting
him in her paper all the time. Assert
ing that ahe and Ltr, husband agree
pretty well on religion, literature, art
the nebular hypothesis, the compara
tive value of breakfast foods and the
proper way of poking the fire, Mrs,
Parkman contlnuea:
But we disagree on polities. We think
ahand haa a smod deal of sense for
. nu.r. man on lots of subjects, but on
politic he doesn't know much. He Is a re
publ'.can a black republican, a mean black
republican, and as such has no claims on
us either as a molder of public opinion
fellow cltlsea or aa a wife. W will cook
for our husband, w will mend our hus
band' clothing, w will darn and brush
him, and keep him up aa our husband.
But aa an officeholder of a vUe, venal and
corrupt organisation, aa emissary of Wall
treat, and aa an oppressor of tha poor, our
hasband aa only our unspeakable win
tempt. He should thsnk his lurky stars
that w do kep his name out of the Tlinos.
That would appeir to be enough to
hold an average husband for a time,
but Mrs. Parkman evidently knows
Mr. Parkman and suspects that he will
try to show that he is not a quitter,
8(j she adds this postscript:
We know enough of our husband should
ha attempt to press this matter too far to
make his vote In this election little more
than scattering. But up to the present we
have said nothing. We have believed that
our duty as a wlfo had some claims on our
duty as an editor. But a word to the wise,
should be sufficient, and If our husband
has learned a lick of sense from past ex
periences with us he will take a grand Im
mortal tumble to himself and call off his
dogs. We think a good bit of our husband,
first and last, and In one way and another,
but we will permit of no foolishness from
this republican county surveyor. He Is a
bad lot and we withhold certain matters In
this affair on account of the respectability
of the parties concerned.
Mr. Parkman's 'Ituatlon commands
sympathetic condolences. What profits
it to a Kansas politicians to have his
clothes mended, his socks darned, his
meals cooked and his lodging fur
nished and made attractive if he has
to go over the political route incog?
Any liberty loving. Judge in Kansas
would declare such treatment to come
under the head of cruel and unusual
punishment forblddon by the constitution.
SHELVED, BUT KOT BUItlKD.
Notwithstanding the assertion of
Mr. Bryan that his demand for govern
ment owqership of railroads is not a
live issue in this campaign, one of his
chief fuglemen in Nebraska, being
none other than Edgar Howard, who
la running the Columbus Telegram
and who wants to run for congress as
the democratic nominee of the Third
district, Insists that "It will not die."
"No matter what convention plat
forms may say or may not say about
government ownership of railroads,"
declares Judge Howard, still the nom
inal president of tho Government Own
ership league which he organised with
Mr. Bryan's aid and consent to propo-
gate the Bryanite program, "still that
great reform Idea Is growing and It Is
growing fast." Pursuing the suDject,
It msy bo too soon for the final step,
he reluctantly admits, but It is not
too soon fcr the preliminary movement
looking to the day when the parent
government shall own some or all of
the railroads."
Judge Howard goes ahead In his pa
per telling Just how the government
should set about lo acquire the rail
roads of the country. "How would
the people condemn railroad prop
erty?" he asks, and without waiting
for any other answer replies, "Why,
that's easy. The people wouia con
demn the railroad Just like a railroad
condemns the property of the people
when It wants to use that property for
right-of-way. It la a poor rule which
will not work both ways. Also, that
rule has been made to work only one
way, but some day the people are go
ing to make it work the other way."
And he winds up with this appeal,
Don't be ashamed, friends, of your
public ownership views.
We suggest that Judge Howard di
rect that last remirk, personally, to
Mr. Bryan.
THE NEW DIPLOMACY-
Our new American ambassador to
Germany, David Jayne Hill, has vindi
cated the Judgment of President
Roosevelt, who appointed him in the
face of ill-concealed opposition on the
part of the courtiers of the emperor
and open opposition of certain mem'
bers of the American diplomatic corps.
Ambassador Hill has succeeded In
gaining the complete confidence and
respect of Emperor William and In
creatine a most favorable Impression
wtth the diplomatic representatives of
other nations at the German capital.
In addition to discharging the official
and social duties of his position cred
itably Dr. Hill has been attracting at
tention in Europe through some of hla
addresses at banquets and official
functions. He ha done this by de
parting from the usual diplomatic cus
tom of uttering moinlngless platitudes
on such occasions ond by talking very
plainly and directly on the changed
conditions In the relations between
nations and the necessity of this
change being recognized In diplomatic
circles. In a recent address at Berlin
Dr. Hill said:
The modern diplomatist must discard the
old diplomacy, and Instead of separating
nations bring them nearer together. Instesd
of sowing dissensions among them he must
Introduce order, law and Justice for their
mutual relations. The best equipment for
him who seek to do this Is a knowledge
of history.
Nations have been slow to recognise
that diplomacy, defined by the diction
artes as "dexterity in securing advan
tages," Is not synonymous with deceit
and trickery. The world has changed
greatly since the Machiavellian days
when an lmmediato end gained by
lying or treachery was considered the
greatest achievement in diplomacy
Many elements have conspired to pro
duce the changed conditions, the great
est being the Improved facilities for
communication. Before the era of ca
bles and telegraph lines and fast
steaming ships and lallroad trains the
ambassador was In fact the represent
tlve of the state. He had plenary
powers and his government spoke
through htm. Now the diplomat has
his chief at the other end of a cable
wire, In cases of emergency, and be
comes more an adviser and Instrument
of communication between the ruling
powers. An localising Intelligence
among nations has given the art of di
plomacy a new meaning and placed the
relatione between natlona on a new
and more businesslike basis. In this
advancement America haa alwaya
taken the lead by keeping It repreaea
uttvea abroad out of court Intrigues
fair and above
-The
defenders of concrete construc
tion for Bchool buildings seem to miss
tho point. The real question Is
whether the school board should pay
1.200 to a specialist for plans and
pacifications for a building for which
, firm of competent architects has al
ready been engaged on the' full archi
tectural fee. Twelve hundred dollars
Is 5 per cent on $34,000. and If con
crete construction is really cheaper
and better it ought to reduce the per
centage cost for plans and specifica
tions rather than Increase it.
In tho matter of keeping our streets
in good repair an ounce of prevention
worth a pound of cure. Omaha
pavements are ruined every day by
needless cutting and careless dumping
of materials around new buildings. No
other progressive city In the country
would for a moment tolerate the mis
use of the streets as practiced by
Omaha building contractors.
The Independence league party of
the District of Columbia, In mass
meeting assembled to the number of
twenty-eight men nnd two women, has
instructed its delegates to vote for
William Randolph Hearst for president
and John Temple Graves for vice

funereal enough, to say the least.
Lincoln is about to wage war offi
cially on the mosquito. We presume
that this Is part of the clean-up In an

Our amiable democratic contem
porary cartoons Mr. Hearst under the
caption, "Oh, my! Look at What
We're Losing!" Picture to yourself
the cartoon that would have appeared

Mr. Bryan's entreaties for him to get
Into line.
Nebraska democrats say they want
to put local tickets in the field this
year in every county In the state. They
had none in" twenty-eight counties
last year. They should advertise for
victims willing to go up against sure
defeat.
Omaha continues on the increase
side of the bank clearings ledger not
withstanding the fact that most of the
other cities show comparative de
creases. Omaha ought to be a gainer
by this sort of advertisement.
Increasing business makes early en
largement of Union station imperative.
While about it, why not bulldsa sub
way connecting with the Burlington
station and make the two a real Union
station? .'
It Is to be presumed that the big
railway magnates would all like to
raise the railway rates, but what they
would like to do and what they will
be permitted to do are two different
things.
A Georgia legislator proposes to

Nebraska on account of his nonresl

Ambassador O'Brien says that In the
year he has been in Japan he has seen

A London scientist says he found

Mr. Bryan has the right Idea In av

contributions. The farmers have tt.e
money as a result of twelve years of

OX PRESIDRXTIAI, FIRING LIXE.
Rrranlte Prophecies Lined Up wit a
Present Conditions.
Philadelphia Press (rep..
When Wllllnm J. Bryan had John W.
Kern nominated for vice president he pub
licly avowed his belief that tho presidency
could be Won between Nebraska and Indi
ana, Bryan ha the solid south. He ex
pects in the territory between these two
states to gain the rotes he needs to make
a majority.
In 1K96 his chance of winning the presi
dency was In these states. He carried Ne
braska and Kansas. He lacked so little of
carrying Indiana and Illinois that there
were a great many people, including those
closest to the republican management of
President McKlnlev's ramimlnn. who
thought In August, 1S96, that every state
rrom Nebraska to Indiana waa won for
Bryan.
By the end of August or the opening of
September Bryan may again create a like
scare, but his chanoes are far less now In
th
lese great central states than thev were In
ISM. Kansas was populist In 1SPJ and Cleve
land carried both Illinois and Indiana In
thitt year and he spilt the vote of Michigan.
18M Bryan came to a central West which
had been electing democratic congressmen
na voting for a republican president.
The reverse Is true todav. From Ne
braska serosa to Indiana for slant vears
past republican majorities have been rising

Parties and Corporation.
Kansas City Star (Ind.).
"Honest corporations hnwe nmhin.
from the democratic party," waa the re
assuring declaration aiven nut t --hi.-
by Mr. Kern, nominated at Denver for vice
president. Mr. Bryan, being regarded a
quite a bit of a corporation baiter, could
carcely have Inspired this pledge, unless
iie is carrying his policy of compromise
and conciliation into the very fastnesses
of the enemy's country.
There Is no cause, though, to fear that
"honest" corporation will not rirM th.
democratic party as good as the word of
Mr. Kern. If it succeeds to power In No

nunesi corporations from either nariv
President Roosevelt has been held up to
reprobation aa a dangerous agitator and an
enemy or capital by certain captains of
Industry and finance, although the repub
lican party ha given to these same kickers
the enormous benefit of the tariff, which
has afforded more aid and comfort to the
American game of grab than any other
racior in our system of government. Rut
th president has made no war on "honest"
corporations. He Is chargeable with no
Interference with trade on the square. No
molestation, either by word or deed, has
come from him to persons who are engaged
in ralr and lawful enterprises. His plat
form Is "A rightful share to each and all-
no more, no less."
Tho republican party a renreaented hv
Roosevelt and Taft offers full and ade
quate protection to business that Is con
ducted on the level, and that ia content
with lawful methods. The democratic party
can offer nothing less than this and hnn.
to succeed. In the alignment of the two
organisation as It stands thl year, capi
tal nonestly and fairly employed has no
cause for alarm. On the other hand, with
Taft heading one ticket and Bryan the
other, capital employed for piratical and
disreputable purposes can look for no pro
tection.
Look at tho Flgwrea.
Minneapolis Journal (rep.).
There are 483 votes In the electoral col
lege. It will take 242 to elect. Assuming
that Mr. Bryan told Mr. Bidder, as Is al
leged, that he could be elected without
New York, It becomes Important to con
sider the ground of that confidence. Bryan
has to start with the 145 votes of the
south. This Is conceding to him Missouri
and Kentucky, both of which, -en their
record, are doubtful states. He needs
nlnetyseven more. To gut them without
New York he must carry such stales as
Illinois, Ind'ana, Wisconsin, South Da
kota, Nebraska and others whose repub
licanism seems even less likely to De
wrenched from its moorings than that of
New York. New York would appear to all
conservative Investors in election wagers a
better democratic bet than any of these
states. New York Is 146.000 republican.
Hence, on figures f past performances,
democracy cannot win without New York
and cannot get New York.

Mr. Bryan's handicaps are very serious.
He must encounter th hostility of the

to support a winning candidate. It la also
palpable that, however atrong a character

Kraaaht rrlth Frosty Perils.
St. Ioiils Times.
It Is reported that the mayor of Omah.i
will go to New Tork to carry th'Brysn
war Into what waa once "th enemy'
country." If Mr. Pahlman goes lo the
Empire state he will make friend. Just
as he did when ho entered the contest
for the mayoralty of his live town on the
upper Missouri.
Many New York people alroady know
Dnhlman. He Is remembered by everyone
who had any sort of land In the Bryan
arrival from Europe, (1 1906. Dahlman
was there with a trainload of cowboys,
and It was his psrsonally conducted lasso
that caught the democratic chieftain
about the ankle even before "Doc" Drown
and Lewis Nixon could get over the side
of the Princess Irene to offer their wel
comes. Mayor Dah'man now says that he will
spend some time down east. Ho will In
troduce Omaha campaign methods. He
will make 'em alt up and take notice. Just
as he did when he and his Indians met
Bryan. But Mayor Jim will find It de
sirable to know the point at which to
stop. He stands In danger of overdoing
his wild west sot. Should that situation
come about he will get a frost after the
manner of that delivered to Tulsa. And
when New York gets frosty the north
pole Isn't a bit chillier.
