Tbe Be lied to them. Address will be efte mm revested. Qiwbec j now ready for headache powders. v O course, Judge Orosscup will be congratulated by Chancellor Day. The Standard Oil fine looks bigger than It did before It was wiped out. An English writer says that Bryan Ism is a religion. Hardly that. Ifa Just a habit. "Mr. Bryan Is proud of his record," says a democratic? paper. His phono graph record? It is an Insult to every American workman to Intimate that the labor vote is for sale. Jeff Davis Is furnishing a bumper crop of eilence, for which the nation Is properly grateful. It may be observed that no one is inquiring about the swimming at Etopus, N. Y., this year. Mr. Bryan is unlucky In picking a year to run when the country la de termined to go republican. "Flngy" Conners has not wired con gratulations to Mr. Bryan on the selec tlon of a national chairman. ' Mr. Hearst will not find it necessary to refuse contributions from outsiders, He Is his own campaign treasurer. Champ Clark serves notice that the next time he attends a national conven tlon he proposes to wear earmuffs. 'A real select organization might be formed of the New Tork millionaires who have not been sued for divorce. Georgia has just finished the ship ment of 6,000 carloads of peaches that were killed by the frost last spring. It should not take Mr. Bryan long to write his letter of acceptance. He has had much experience la that direc tion. - 1 ' ' ' '' Jimmy, Brltt, the lightweight pugil 1st, Is going to study law. He will probably remain In the lightweight class. What would Mr. Bryan do if some corporation should adopt the old Mon tana plsn and throw Its money over the transom? Mr. Hearst can at least offer the country one thing new. He has no Brother Charley to help him In his campaign. There are some Indications that Dr, Parkhurst la respecting tbe demand In New York for the suppression of un neoessary noises. t)rems go by contraries. Mr. Bryan dreamed that Hearst was going to fall in line and support the nominees of the Denver convention. The election In i89 (ell on Novem ber S. Mr. Bryan will understand this year that history and republican ma jorities repeat themselves. Richmond Pearson Hobson is not inconsiderate. He has kindly post poned his war with Japan until after the presidential election. A promoter is telling all about the advantages of the electric typewriter. It apqear to do about everything except chew gum and indulge In late suppers. BCBIXtSZ METHODS lit POLITICS. Even this early In tbe campaign of 1801 evidence has been furnished that the republican managers who selected Frank H. Hitchcock to bo the head of the national organization made no mistake. Mr. Hitchcock Is offering something new In the methods of cam paign management. He has departed from tbe old plan, so long in vogue In both parties, of claiming everything, conducting a hurrah campaign, mak ing much noise and then waiting, without real Information, but full of hope, for the result at the polls. Mr. Hitchcock has decided to adopt busi ness methods and to employ the same means of ascertaining the wants of the people as a merchant would In looking over a trade field. This method is In keeping with Mr. Hitchcock's career in, public official life. He Is an organizer. When the Department of Commerce and Labor was established, Mr. Hitchcock, as chief clerk, placed the department on a working business basis in a tew months and made it the model of executive de partment efficiency In Washington. As first assistant postmaster general, he abolished a number1 of needless bu reaus, redivlded the work of the de partment, with a saving to the govern ment In money and a marked Improve ment In business efficiency. Incidentally, he gave the Department of Agriculture Its present effective plan of keeping in touch with foreign markets and has done, In all, perhaps more than any other one man to abolish governmental red tape and to adopt business methods in the government service. In organizing the campaign tnis year, Mr. Hitchcock has made each state a working division in the depart ment of politics. State chairmen and national committeemen are to be kept In close and constant touch with him, just as a commander in the field Is kept In touch with conditions through the reports of Ms staff officers and lieuten ants. Approving the poll system used by Chairman Hayward of Nebraska, Mr. Hitchcock proposes to have it gen erally adopted In all of the states. By this voters will be reached with as lit tle delay as possible and supplied with literary productions and the arguments calculated to convince them that it Is to their advantage to continue the Roosevelt policies at Washington, with a republican house and a republican senate. Concentration and co-operation will be the watchwords of the national committee, under Mr. nucncocK s guidance. The result will be that all of the workers will know, from time to tlm, the progress of the campaign, which will be based on facts and fig ures Instead of the old style of polit ical guesswork. MB. TAFT AKD THE SOCTJ7. It would perhaps be an exaggera-t tion to assert that political conditions are such as to indicate that Mr. Taft will carry Texas, or Georgia, or any of the southern states, with the ex ception of Kentucky and Tennessee, but even the most radical democrats admit the presence of a Taft senti ment in the southern states that will result In a larger vote being cast for Mr. Taft south of Mason and Dixon's line than has been- given to a repub lican presidential candidate since the civil war. The south has experienced remarkable commercial and indus trial development in the last decade, and the business interests of the south are In full sympathy with the repub lican policies. Many of the democratic papers in the sonth are frankly voicing their dissatisfaction with Bryan and Bryan Ism, and many of the leading citizens are openly urging the voters to put the ever-present negro question in the background and to make the political fight on Ilvhig business issues. The Atlanta Constitution, which is rather lukewarm in its support of Bryan, prints a letter, more than a column long, from Robert J. Lowry, a leading banker of Atlanta and president of the American Bankers' association, in which he urges Georgia to give its vote to Taft. Mr. Lowry's letter, in part, is as follows: Thousands upon thousands of the good white people of Georgia are going to cast their votes for Judge Taft, and why not enough of them to give him a plurality Why not? We have had many political surprises in Oeorgia, some of such recent date as to yet be fresh In the minds of everyone, and many are to come In the fu ture. It Is not a rash statement to make- that, If President Roosevelt had consented to serve his country another term, the state of. Oeorgia would have cast its vote for him! Then why not for Judge Taft, who Is pledged to carry forward the liberal poll olee of the retiring president, and who was the choice of the retiring president as his successor? It has been my great pleasure to enjoy the friendship of Judge Taft for some years past, and I have never met a more bril liant statesman, a more astute and affa ble diplomat or a more polished gentleman This tribute I pay to him as a friend, and not as the political opponent of the demo crats. I regard him as one of the strong est characters before the public today, and the Ideal of business, commercial and in dustrlal interests of the country for presi dent. The country cannot afford to do other wise than elect Judge Taft, and it would be a great step for progress If Oeorgia, the empire state of the south, should cast Its vote for this eminent Jurist, statesman and patriot, The record shows that Georgia has never been very enthusiastic for Bryan. The state gave Mr. Cleveland 81,000 plurality in 1S92, but Mr, Bryan carried it by only 34,000 la 1896 and by 46.000 in 1900, while Judge Parker carried it by 62.000 in 1904. Georgia is conservative and keeps Its big pluralities for conserva tive candidates. It was the only south ern state that refused to join In tbe cheering for Bryan at Denver and while the state will doubtless be re corded in tbe democratic column again this year, the Taft vote will be un usually large. Tennessee, while casting a larger vote than Georgia, is democratic by a much smaller margin. The state gave Judge Parker 26,000 plurality, while Bryan carried it by but 17.000. The democrstic party In the state is torn by factions, while the republicans are united as they have not been for years. With the vigorous campaign which the rational committee plans to carry on In that state, the chances are very fa vorable for Tennessee being placed In the republican column this year, Chances aru more than favorable for republican success in Kentucky, and North Carolina is debatable ground. HOME RCLE. "Home rule for Omaha" is a cam paign cry that will often be heard dur- ng the coming fall and It Is well to stop right now to consider what this means. In tbe first place, it may be tated with confidence that the candi dates for the legislature, of all parties, will cheerfully subscribe to a pledge to give Omaha the fullest measure of home rule possible under the general laws of the state. The charter re vision committee now at work prom ises to insert In Its report a provision for home rule under a home-made charter at the earliest opportunity. All who have given the question seri ous consideration agree that Omaha should have the right to make its own charter. It must be understood that Omaha cannot make a charter that will give to the city authorities any powers or privileges that transcend the pro visions of the general law. It is im possible to set up a government within government wherein the smaller will control- the greater, but many direct advantages will accrue to Omaha through the power to formulate its own fundamental law In consonance" with the general law of the state. The greatest advantage probably will be that such procedure will secure stabil ity for' the charter. The present practice is that each succeeding legislature Is assailed by a self-constituted committee or commit tees, claiming to represent the citizens of Omaha, but In reality merely rep- efaentlng factions or interests, and having no power from the citizenship In general. This procedure Is fol lowed by biennial changes In the char ter, so that it is anything but stable. If a convention of representative citi zens were called under the provisions of a properly framed law for the pur poso of formulating and presenting to the voters for adoption a charter for the government of the cltyof Omaha the result can easily be anticipated. With such a charter permanency will be In a large measure assured for the reason that the method of altering or amending It would require the setting Into motion of machinery similar to that now necessary for the amendment of the state constitution. This would preveat the biennial mutilation of the charter by corporations or other spe cial interests. ' Other advantages to come from a home-made charter are many and the prospect for Omaha hav ing the right to formulate Its own sys tem of municipal management without the interference of the legislature was never brighter. The sixteen boys who went through the nature study course of the Young Men's Christian association may not have achieved any results that will startle the scientific world, but they certainly know more about bugs and worms, fishes and birds, and the like than they did before they started and have had some jolly days in the open. Such training as this Is of real value to the youth. The killing of a child in Council Bluffs by a motorcycle simply em phasizes what The Bee has been say ing about these dangerous vehicles. The efforts of the Omaha police to stop reckless riding and driving through the streets of the city should receive the support of all good citizens, whether they own motors or not. John Sharp Williams expresses his belief that "the principles of Jefterson- lan democracy are the Almighty's plans for temporal salvation of the human race," and Judge Wakeley says that Bryan never did represent Jeffersonlan principles. And there you are. Judge Wakeley brings to his polit ical action the same unflinching Integ rity that has marked his course In all other walks of life. This is the reason the Branltes are so anxious for his support, and also the reason why they will not get it. Shallenberger seems to lack some thing of the buoyant confidence that sustains Mayor Jim in his pursuit of the denfocratlc gubernatorial nomina tion. Shallenberger has been over the road, which may account for his cau tion. The flamboyant bolt of the tempes tuous Tibbies is proving a boomerang for the democratic schemers who planned to capture the populist organ ization and perpetuate the fraud of fusion in Nebraska. American millionaires, according to cable reports, are not patronizing the European health resorts this year. The explanation seems to be that the Amer lean millionaires have more health than money thU year. Mr. Hearst says he will not be a can dldato for the nomination by his party for the presidency, because he must keep his word. Democrats are learning that Mr. Hearst keeps his word, to their discomfiture. With Norman . Mack selected as I chairman of the national committee, J the democratic candidate may safely count on the support of the Buffalo Times until the evenlpg of November S. Tbe Eiffel tower is to be used as a wireless telegraph station. It should be a matter of congratulation that some nse has been found for the architect ural monstrosity. Georgia democrats are taking the Denver prescription, bot refuse to ad mit that they like It or have any con fidence that It Is going to do them any good. Castro has driven the Holland min ister from Venezuela. There will bo plenty of volunteers for the Job when the spanking of Castro Is concluded. . Stuyvesant Fish says the farmers will get most of the profits of the good crops. Perhaps, but it will not be the fault of the railroad companies. Promoting rnbllo Gaiety. Minneapolis Journal. A rich one comes from Lincoln, Neb., where either the new reporter, or perhaps some wag, wrote this: "Mr. Bryan was so impressed with the announcement that he broke his usual silence and dictated a statement." Not the Western War. 1 6t. Louis Republic. The west may be a bit wild and wooly, but if a desperado should venture to shoot up a town as big as Boston, out this way, it wouldn't take 400 policemen and a posse comltatus 1,000 strong to bring him In, dead or alive. Where mn the I.eakf Bprlrujfleld Republican. The reversal of the decision against the Standard Oil company, albeit a surprise to the country, was foreshadowed by the mar ket Tuesday, when shares which fell as low as $390 In the recent panic, made the high record of $650. Somebody leaked. Dubious Notoriety for Omaha. Pittsburg Dispatch. "Jim" Pahlman. the cowboy mayor of Omaha, Is to be at the convention of the Independence party at Chicago to ejfect a stampede for Bryan, but he must remember that the Intelligent masses which have been financed by Hearst are not to be induced to do the hurricane act like a bunch of cattle on a ranch. Easy Money from Corporations. Philadelphia Press. Colonel Bryan held out the glad hand for $1,000 of the money of the soulless corporations who manufacture phonograph records. Of course, as it was In the nature of an honorarium for "services," the money could be turned into the democratic cam paign fund without an Infraction of the law. Here Is a fine example of a way to evade the statute and the pledge. Any corporation that wishes to transfer some of Its tainted money to the coffers of the democratic national committee might em ploy the "peerless leader" to say "a few well-chosen words." TOUCHED IIOCK BOTTOM. Source of Standard Oil Outlawry Sounded. Minneapolis Journal. Judge Orosscup, It seems to us, went a trifle out of his way to whack Judge Lan dls for having tried the Standard Oil com pany of Indiana and convicted the Standard Oil company of New. .Jersey. The whole question in the case was whether the latter corporation was not the real defendant In court. The case was similar to the frauds sometimes successfully worked upon Judges In criminal cases, where a thief with a po litical pull Is convicted, and the political pullers substitute another man to be sen tenced and Incarcerated. This has been done a number of times in New Tork. Judge Landls had to decide the question whether the Indiana oil company was not In fact the New Jersey oil trust. What did he do? As sume the facts? Not by any means. He called Rockefeller Into court and secured from him an admission that the two com panies were one and the same. Judge Lan. dls then simply refused to be a party to a fraud against Justice. He declared, in effect, that whereas one large darky had been discovered in the woodpile, the friends of the rebate frauds were trying to substi tute a small pickaninny for purposes of sentence, and to Impress him with the Idea that this colored boy was poor and that It was his first offense. Judge Orosscup may find many sound and sounding legal ratiocinations to condemn Judge Lundls' action; but, after all, It had common sense and common fairness back of It. WAR ON Tlllj LOAN SHARKS. Eastern Employer Plan Remedy for the Abuse. New York Tribune. It Is an interesting experiment which the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is about to make In its endeavor to better the con dition of Its employes. The cuipoiation has forbidden each ' and every man on Its payrolls to assign his wages to an)- body, under penalty of Immediate suspen sion or dismissal. It U hoped that this will drive away frqm the pcrserves that familiar animal, the loan shark, whose ravages, at one time or another, have disturbed almost every large employer in the land. The move gains in significance by the report that the Pennsylvania aiut the Reading will adopt the same policy. If vigorously cot ducted, the test will af fect, directly and indirectly, nearly a state ful of people; ajid. It results are good, It will bring Into general use an equitable loan system which bus already been tried out on a small scale and found highly profitable to all concerned. The railway companies cannot reason ably prevent their workers from visiting the usurer unless small loans are pro curaMe from other sources. Although heartily desp'srd even by Ms most faith ful a nil cnslunt patrons, the loan eh. irk, under .listing condi lions, fills an inevi table niche in the gallery of economic In stitutions. Laboring men frtq. ently must have ready money, and it Is an old story that thousands of them have not $'X) In ready cash between themselves and lun ger. The loan shark s ilrtually the only man t3 whom appeal can regularly be made In emergency; accord ngly, the ai trulstlo employer who lab-noes lilm Is mor ally obliged to see that his place will be filled by a more lenient lender whenever a worklngman is reduced to honorable need. Severs! prominent manufacturer and department store proprietors, moved to lndignatl n by t!'e loan shark's out rageous extortion, have iinuincd h i func tions, in various ways they have succeeded In reducing the borrower's cost to lit tle more than ordinary interest rt t ut the same time clearing for themselves a respectable profit. The scheme :lraees the employes and Incidentally improve shop discipline, by making each man's record and reputation a measure of his borrowing capacity. The railroads will doubtless round out their fight against the usurers by Imitating this beneficent system. If not directly, then through the medium of some reputable society. Thus will be bound another tie of friend shta between employer and employe. ON PnF.einKXTIAL FIRING LINE. Bryan's Dial Ike and Jealousy of t'lereland'a 1'ame. Harper's Weekly (Ind ). Because Cleveland refaod to support him, Bryan declared over his signature that Cleveland secured bis own nomination by a secret bsrgxin with financiers; that he spent the largest campaign fund any parly ever collected; that he filled his cabinet with corporation agents; that he appointed railroad lawyers to the supreme bench, and that, having debauched his party, he stabbed It to death to prevent Its return to the paths of virtue. Only four years ago he shouted from the plaform In Vrbana, O. : 'The democrats In played a confi dence game on the people and put a bunco steerer at the head of the party." Bryan hated Cleveland then, he bates him now; he loathed him living, he loathes him dead. He Is, moreover, In the full flush of personal power, Insanely Jealous of Cleve land's fame. Every word spoken In vpraise of Cleve land as a man of character and conviction Is gall and wormwood to Bryan. So It Is easy to understand why he would permit no suitable tribute to be paid to the first of democrats of Ma generation, why he re fused to recognise merit In any party lender other than himself, and why he bathed ros. olutions so inadequate as to bj almost In- suiting with the tears of the crocodile. When the ballots shall have been counted In November, we shall be able to determine how many men who honored and loved Orover Cleveland could find It In their hearts to vote for Willism J. Bryan. Where Are Theyt New Tork Tribune (rep.). What western slates can he won for the democratic ticket? Surely not Ohio, Illi nois, Minnesota. Michigan. Iowa. Kansas. the Dakotas, Wisconsin, California, Oregon, Washington or any of the mountain states. except possibly Montana and Nevada Mr. Bryan doubtless hopes to carry Nebraska, and Mr. Kern will do his best to carry In diana. But each has the odds strongly against him. Even innnoulm thai Imlionn Nebraska, Montana and Nevada were lost to the republicans, there would still bo no democratic majority in the electoral col lege. These states have only twenty-nine votes, and fifty-five votes more would be needed. To Secure these fifty-five votes Illinois would have to be rant llrt with Colorado, Iowa and Kansas. In short, noth ing less than a complete overturn of the equilibrium of western noil tics will ha nnr. essary to carry Mr. Bryan Into the White House, it Is to prevent the nosslhllltv of such a reversal that republican effort snould be freely expended Over this wide area. Tli middle west and far west should be fortified and solidified in their repub licanism, and for that reason nnlhr.r Ha. clsive republican victory should be the aim oi an republicans. Campaign Fonda. New York Evening Post (lnd.). In the lively contest In nominal nnHtv between Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, Mr. Taft nas just 'scored a point by announcing that the republican national committee will not accept any contributions from any cor poration. The honors between the two candidates seem now to h ah Alir avan though In view of the Intimate relations Deiween trie republican committee and tho corporation in recent campaigns, Mr. Taft has made the greater renunciation Mr Taffs position In this matter Is, like Mr. uryans. entirely creditable. Although tho courts have held that are state officers, and therefore beyond tne scope of the federal law, he will adhere to the spirit and not the lettt-r f th statute. Nobody can deny, of course, that ir it is undesirable that elections of coi gressmen shall be Influenced by corpora tions, which may often command enormous resources and thus determine the result. It Is equally undesirable that the presidency snu in any sense be a pawn In the una of finance. In view of the promises of Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, which but re flect the growing sentiment against the lavish use of money In elections, the cam paign seems likely to be more free from scandal than any within the memory of the present generation. , Much Work, Little Talk. Boston Transcript, (rep.). National Chairman Hitchcock, recalling Mr. Cortelyou's announcement for four years ago, that he would give out no in terviews whatever during his service as national chairman, and that any utter ances purporting to be such which might appear in the newspapers should be re garded as spurious, has gone one step further. Hitchcock now declares that he will make no predictions, or forecasts, at any time during the campaign. This Is good common sense. It Is the business of a national manager to try to carry every state In the union, and the efforts of party workers In none of them should be allowed to flag by the acknowledgment that they are In the rainbow-chasing belt. Warm Camiiultrn Predicted. Cincinnati Enquirer (Ind. dero.). This campaign will be one of surprises, one of sudden, sharp and serious changes and before November arrives by vivid, lightning situations will be riven, shattered and reconstructed from Maine to Cali fornia. Party ties har. loosely and a solid south may be badly broken and a solid north rshlvered into Irregular sections. The republican party has been reorgan ized and Is in new positions. Whether as strongly entrenched as of old remains to be seen. The democratic tarty Is stronger In the north than In 1MW, 1900 or 1301. There will be nothing monotonous about this campaign. Both leaders will be In the thick of the contest from start to finish, and a slip In speech or pen or action may be decisive of the struggle. The Yellow Streak. St. Louts Globe-Democrat. Champ Clark thinks national conven tions can be Improved in several respects. The democratic kind could make campaigns j more Interesting by ceaairg to yell an huur and a half for a chronic loser.
