(lorKnxun joh.soxs frkdicamkut Gmrrnor Johnson or Minnesota has :ren Mured In an embarn wing posl- jtlcii by the democratic partr of his jr.t.Ut which has forced a third term ; non'lnr.tlon upon him. In far of his c ;r i'ia t ir ally expressed determination frit to be a candidate or to n crept a nomination, if tendered; and In spit of vhis stateniert that enthusiastic tervite could not bo expect 'd from a drafted candidate. Just' before the convention was called, Governor John eon dictated this statement: .1 have elated my position several times before and the situation hss not chsnged. Having declared publicly my opposition to a third term for administrative elective offices, 1 could not possibly accept a nomi nation now without stultifying myself and without violating my pvcry sense of polit ical propriety. It will be awkward for the governor to go before the people admitting that he has stultified himself and violated every sense of political propriety, but he was forced to make the race, as the democratic party of his state feel that the sole chance of bettering Mr. Bryan's political chances In that state rests on Johnson As a third-term can didate. It' is not a secret that Gov ernor Johnson and his friends are looking forward to the next chance, four years hence, and they would doubtless have much preferred to have the governor rest on his record rather than go into another campaign with the chances of defeat strongly against him. The situation In Minnesota Is pecu liar. In 1900, when president Mc Klnley carried the state by 77,000 plurality over Mr. Bryan, the repub lican candidate for governor was elected by only 2,240, In 1904 President Roosevelt carried Minnesota by 161,000, wh(le Governor Johnson was elected by 6,352, and was re elected in 1896 by 76,633. No secret is made of the fact that much of Gov ernor Johnson's strength , heretofore has come from the' Scandinavian vote. The republican candidate this year will divide that vote, being a Scandinavian, and will poll the natural strength of his own party, which has gone largely to Governor Johnson : in past cam paigns because of the question ' of nationality and the further and more important fact that the republican op ponents of Governor Johnson In his former campaigns were not' popular, even In their own party. Th demo crats are in a hopeless minority in Minnesota, under ordinary conditions, and Governor Johnson is naturally re luctant to run again, as a defeat In his third race would do much to de stroy the prestige, valuable for 1912 purposes, of his two unusual elections. OCTTIXO BD.OF LEOPOLD. . The passage by the Belgian Parlia ment of the treaty of annexation, by the terms of whidh the Congo Free State is to be taken from the personal coatfol of King :Leopottf and trans ferred to the Belgian government, is a long, and, perhaps, finaLjitcp toward the solution of a problem n which all national and all humanity bus been deeply Interested for a third of a cen tury. The transfer-makes it possible for public opinion and the powers rep resented in the original Congo confer ence to bring reforms from the atrocl ltieg and maladministration that have characterized the rul Of Leopold, who exercised a sort of proprietary right in the Congo and ; Us- people. , ' The Congo Free State has a popula tion of 30,000,000 natives and an area about, twenty times 'that'. of Nebraska. The Congo government, - under 'Leo pold's administration, has been greedy, cruel,, oppressive and brutal. It can never be a white man's country, as the climate and large native population for bid that,' but It is capable of great de- elopment by which the natives may be helped up to a degree of security in person and property and to a level of civilization of which King Leopold never dreamed. , Leopold was the moving spirit In the Invasion and exploration of Dark est Africa, a movement in which he was largely aided by Stanley, the American explorer.' He took the Congo Free State as his personal spoils and began a reign of brutality and cruelty that caused a world-wide agi tation against him and has finally forced him to cede, the country to the kingdom of Belgium. Inthts, agitation the United States played an Important part and must share , the credit for the victory in behalf of decency. humanity and civilisation. -. THE BTAXbABD CASS AQA1- The attack made by Judge Gross- cup on Judge Land is in the' opinion reversing the decision by which the fine of 129,240,000 was assessed agaln6t the Standard Oil company in the trial in Chicago, has railed for a reply. by Attorney General Bonaparte which is one of the most severe criti cisms ever made of a court and its judges. The most scathing feature of Mr. Bonaparte's reply is the direct charge that Judge Grosscup, In mak ing his decision, deliberately misstated the record In the case. , Attorney General Bonaparte, in fil ing the government's petition for a re hearing, recites statements from tha record to prove that the court of ap peals did not treat the question fairly and misstated the facts before the court. Judge Grosscup ' held that Judge Land Is was in error in deciding that each carload of oil might be treated as a separate offense. Mr. Bonaparte presented a decision made by Judge Grosscup, "when he was on the district bench ruling .exactly as did Judge Landla.' Judge Grosscup ruled that the offrnsa of rebating Is committed only when. the bill Is paid. Mr. Bonaparte replies that 1f such a ruling Js good law, railroads and ship pers lik the Standard might keap an open aocount, grant rebates every (hour of the day and be guilty but once a year, or once In ten years, if settle ments were made only once a year, or on a ten-year basis. The attor ney general wound up hie plea for a rehearing with this plain talk: That. In short, the opinion as It stsnds erroneously ststes msterlsl portions of the record; does Injustice to the trial Judge; lesves doubtful In a new trial the rule of law to be applied, both ss to knowledge on the part of the shipper, and as to the number of offenses; appears to be In con flict with the language of the supreme court and with the previous Isngusge of the rresiding Judge of this court, and with the great weight of legal suthorlty; snd, If permitted to remain unmodified, will tend to encoursge disobedience to law, to Im pede the enforcement of salutary statutes and largely to defeat their purpose. It is perhaps unfortunate that the harsh criticism Indulged by Judge Grosscup and Mr. Bonaparte should find place in the records of the courts, but it may be too much to expect, as judges and courts are human, that a lawsuit as famous as that in question, which produced the big-fine record of all ages, should be allowed to be settled finally without extraordinary proced ure. The president and his advisors are evidently preparing to carry their case to the supreme court, and the country certainly wants it tried and deter mined there, where it will be dalt with calmly and without prejudice. The case is one of the most important ever tried in a federal court, so far as IU effect on the transportation and Industrial Interests of the country are concerned and the interests of the corporation, the government and the people demand that It be determined finally in accordance with the princi ples of exact equity. DOS'T rUBOKT. Don't forget that the men who are to be nominated on the republican ticket at next week's primary must then go' before the people and beat out their democratic opponents at the No vember election. While Douglas county and this con gressional district are normally repub lican,, they are not invariably repub lican and the personalities of the candidates competing for each partic ular office have In the past had a great deal to do in determining which one lands the job. The republicans have carried Doug las county more than once by upward of 2,000 majority and at the same time had democrats crawl into ''office because of inherent weakness or fla grant unfitness of individual repub lican nominees. In these cases the malodorous or the incompetents have constituted dead weights upon the reputable and popular candidates and have been worse than useless to their associates compelled to try unsuccess fully. to carry them In the campaign. Tie direct primary nominations put it up to the rank and file of the party to see to it that the tfeket from top to bottom is built just as strongly as the timber made' available by the filings will permit. Full realization of this responsibility and a wise selection from among the candidates presented at the primary will make republican victory at the polls in November cer tain, while indifference will simply in crease the labor necessary to keep the republican majorities in this county and district up to their usual noteh. STILL HARP1XQ O.V THE XEOftO. Democratic newspapers In the south evidently do not agree with Mr. Bryan that discussion in this campaign shall be limited to subjects specifically enumerated in the Denver platform. The southern democrats do not relish the flirtation started by Mr. Bryan and some of his close advisers with the colored voters in the northern and border states and they are making no effort to conceal their displeasure. Mr. Bryan, in effect, has asked the south ern democrats to keep discreetly In the rear during the campaign, particu larly with reference to the issue that is always paramount In the south. The Norfolk Landmark, one of the old bourbon democratic papers of, Vir ginia, in a recent editorial declares: We wish to see Mr. Bryan elected, with a distinct understanding of his obligations to the south, and If we thought that he Intended to take up the negro issue on the anti-southern Bide we should not hesitate a moment In opposing his election. Ten days ago we were Inclined to think he would commit the blunder on the advice of wild men like George Fred Williams. Kow we do not think he will commit It, because aouthern outcries have made him appreciate what It would mean. This is direct notice on Mr. Bryan that if he wishes the support of the southern democracy he must make no pledge, directly or Indirectly, "to do something for the negro." It is notice that he must not attempt to utilize the Brownsville incident as an issue, and must, under no circumstances, make any protest against the plans of south ern democrats to push the work of negro disfranchisement in southern states. Clearly the south would prefer to see Mr. Bryan defeated rather than have him elected, by negro votes. Further illustration of the feeling among southern democrats is found in the almost unanimous endorsement by southern editors of the action of the West Virginia democrats incorporating a negro dlsirancnisement piank in their recent state platform. West Vir ginia has a negro population of but 43,000, ks against 915,000 whites, making the question of negro domina tion In the state impossible. But the democrats have declared for negro disfranchisement and doubtless hope if they are successful in the section, to carry the work of disfranchisement Into other border states and to finally extend It to northern states wherever democrats control. The question is no longer a southern question, but Is being made national so far as demo cratic effort can go in that direction Democratic success in November would really Increase the number of states in which a negative answer would have to be given to Mr. Bryan's para mount question, "Shall the people rule?" ' Wrat right," asks a reader, "has an automoblllst to run a car at a high rate of speed through a rrowded street?" That's one way of looking at It, of rourse, but the automoblllst Is Just as anxious to know what right pedestrians have to crowd the streets so as to make It impossible for auto moblllst to trsvel at a high late of speed. "The man who wins the west Is not going to be elected. The battleground Is In Indiana and New York," says the democratic St. Louis Republic. This will be 3 surprise to Mr. Bryan, who has been trying to prove that he ran be elected without New York and In diana. It Just makes his case more hopeless than ever. The suggestion of the Georgia woman that the effect of prohibition be scientifically Investigated is one that commends itself. Deliberate inquiry into the results of the operation of sumptuary legislation ought to bring more conviction than any amount of sentimental debate. The railroads are doing the hand some thing in granting reduced rates for the State fair at Lincoln and ought to do the same for the Ak-Sar-Ben period at Omaha. The 2-cent fare is not an argument against conceding the favor asked. The regulation of pool halls Is a work which the police of Omaha can well afford to take up. No objection can possibly be raised against a well conducted pool or billiard hall, but some in Omaha have not been well conducted. In his desire to improve the condi tion of the farmer the president might help some if he would stop the free distribution Of those worthless garden seeds sent out each year by the rural congressmen. ' It is said that Mr. Bryan is willing to forgive Colonel Guffey of Pennsyl vania. Now is the time for Colonel Guffey to come forward with his usual contribution to the; campaign fund. "There Is no enthusiasm In South Carolina for 'Mr. Bryan," says the Charleston News and Courier. En thusiasm is not needed to carry South Carolina for the democratic ticket.

R!plea en the t orrent of Life In too Metro noils. A rernarkabla falling off In the death rale In New York during the severe hot weather of summer Is regsrded at the dl rect result of the educational campaign prosecuted by the health department. A member of tha department, In an Inter view In tha Sun, ahows a marked saving of the live of children under 6. Last year there were 4,509 babiea killed by diarrhoea! diseases in the greater city. This year the number will fall far short of that. The enlightening af the tenement house mother on matters pertaining to the rare of babies the result of the recent conference for that purpose is now bringing forth Its fruit. The conference seeking to educate the mothers ot the tenements waa held June 1, and as soon aa possible after that the nurses were actively at work. Naturally it took them sonic time to accomplish any thing, and ao for a few weeks afterward no results were evident. But on July 25 the record showed that for the week preceding only Ct children died, where as for the corresponding week last year the number waa 650. The week ended August 1 showed only 398 deaths. whila for the corresponding week last year there were 678. The week ended August 8 the number had dropped to 328, as com pared with 486 for tha like period last year. The decrease In the general death rate Is, of course, matoriRlIy affected by the de crease In the number cf deaths of chil dren, though the departments work In preventing tuberculosis has had Its effect. The lowest rate this summer was 14.83 a thousand of population (estimated), which waa for the week ended August 1, though for the week ended August 8 It was only 16.74. These figures sre to be eomnared with 21.98 and 22.22, respectively, for the corresponding weeks last year. In the three weeks ended August 8 there were precisely 1,217 fewer deaths In the greater . city than for the same period last year, a remarkable showing when the In crease In population is taken Into con sideration. There, is only one patch of lawn along the whole length of New York's Great White Way, and It Is more than probable that not one In a hundred of those who pass It dally has ever rotlced it, says the New York Telegraph. I dropped Into tne Astor the other day shortly after noon and found an animated conversation on among a half dosen well known women of the stage who had got their chairs to- eether In the lobby. It looked for all the world like a sewing circle and tound;d Just like one. "Is It flannel underclothes for the heathen or some errant sister making goo- goo ryes at the new mlrlster?" I Inquired as I stopped at the chair of or.e of them. Neither, and this Isn't a church social," was the reply. "We are simply talking something of no Interest to any mere man. We are talking fashions." "Why don't you get out on the lawn?" I asked. 'The lawn?'' they all echoed In surprise Not one of them had ever noticed ft? ' I coaxed them outside. There it Is on either side of the main entrance. A little plot about 10x20 feet. After great expensa and several years of effort the manager succeeded In evolving the only lawn on the White Way. And maybe he Isn't proud of It! Why, If any profane foot would dare to. press those tiny blades of grass there'd be a hurry call for the reserves. It la tha only one and there will probably never be another. That lawn Is the high est priced one In the world. It, Is worth something like 86,0OO per square foot. 'Vather Knickerbocker has a tidy amount of real estate," reports Hie Brooklyn Ragle. His assessors told His. chief man of busi ness, the mayor, that its value, exclusive of special franchises and real estate of corporations, exceeds 16,000.000,000. Count ing the assessed value of the personal property, another billion Is added, ao his total wealth Is more than 17,000,009,000. 'Since last yesr the assessed value of the ordinary real estate has been increased by $437,430,467. This will make available for public expenditures 843,749,048 during the coming flscsl year by tills Increase of assessed valuation. The wealth of Father Knickerbocker can be better appreciated in the fact that this increase alona ex ceeds the aggregate assessed valuation of Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Oregon and Wyoming an area eight times greater than the whole of the state of New Y'ork.

The shrieks and giggles of the sands 1 I'pon the winds have parsed away; f The goo-gooing and holding hands Are, over, with the bath, today. O'er whispered nothings we'll not fret We'll Just forget ah, Just forget! Another morn will open soon; :' Again vain errands we will run, Suit cases tote at luimJd noon. Play drear croquet and call It fun For desert Islands yearn. And ye Seem to forgct-roem to forget! To teach a fat girl liow'to swim. To row with the merry widow gay. To fish till hopes of catch grow slim, Then dance, play- ekat till break of day. Of some smart woman pose ss pet. Yet know (in town) sheTI soon forget! For rest and health, how vain to yearn! To work ten months with zeal and reel. That eibon waiter get your change. And glib hotel clerk claim the rest! Why muse on "Pirates I Have Met?'' As well forget as well forgot!
